As promised, I wanted to say that I really enjoy your updates. There's a distinct voice in your writing that always brings your sims to life. I loved how Elmire imagined herself as an adult playing the piano.
I also wanted to add something to my previous update. While I have my thoughts about my twins, I was wondering about what you think makes Dylan and Zeph so different?
Thank you very much for the kind comment! About Dylan and Zephyr, it's not so much about how they look, but that you always describe them as being different. I just imagine that they have such different personalities (with Dylan being musical and Zephyr being a technical genius) that they do different things to the extent that it's easy to tell them apart, especially if you're family (but maybe not)?
@Becka28 Welcome back! I hope you're feeling okay. I'm happy to see Quin and Rohan again too.
@mightysprite I hope Akira is able to tone down the jealousy a bit and let Madison speak to whomever. It was cute to see them napping together. I like the apartment redesign for Sierra and Armando - it looks comfortable. Chickaboom is too cute as a chick!
@haneul Forget if I said this already but I love love love Elmire at the piano and Cocoa is a cute name.
Thank you!
@BlueSeaWaves It's nice to see you pop back into the thread. I like Wally and Neyla, and I like them together, but I'm also happy to see that Barbara is not too enthusiastic about the couple. She's looking out for her sister. Is it a red flag that Wally's kid doesn't have any toys? That seems like questionable parenting for sure. Then, he's flirting with a waitress…
@sarabeth2984 Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and hope you are able to enjoy the holidays.
You scared me with that first picture of Cecilia and the murphy bed. That thing is so dangerous! For her to die after you make it clear that she's sweet and looks out for Barnaby's daughter… I'm glad the bed's been made safe. I also love Lisette's new clothes and the name of that store--it seems to fit her current mood well. I have NO interest in Journey to Batuu, but I must admit that the fights with the light sabers look very cool.
--- Fier Legacy - it's a little weird, today.
Intro & Past Posts in Spoiler
INTRO
The Fiers are a vampire family led by an arrogant and socially awkward megalomaniac named Asher who, among other things, hopes to have 100 children. As of now, he's had 17. The youngest five (minus #17) recently became young adults and are discovering the perks of university, so Asher's ready to move on from the life he's built with them in Sulani. Even though everyone is into pursuing an eco lifestyle and protecting the environment and even though Asher employed some draconian conservation policies while working as a top-level conservationist, he's done with that kind of tiny living stuff and had a (gaudy flamboyant) palace built in San Myshuno, where he recently relocated his family and where he intends to raise the next generation of his children.
Two More Out the Door
It is not completely unfair to say that as a young teenager and even as a freshman in college, Darius Fier had been a vain clown (#richkidsofsimstagram) who couldn’t cook without starting a fire.
BUT, while studying in college, he had matured—he learned to stay away from grills! He also became more talented and less vain. Darius still loves selfies, but he tried to erase all his embarrassing #richkid posts from the Internet (which wasn’t easy). Anyway, he had just graduated from Britechester University with a distinguished degree in fine arts and a perfect GPA. A+ was the only grade he’d ever seen. Deli, his slightly older sister, and the family’s reigning academic Queen, had very little on him.
Dyna, Darius’ twin, graduated from the Foxbury Institute with similar but not quite perfect grades and a distinguished degree in computer science. Dyna was just as ridiculously competitive as the rest of her family, but she was also quiet, liked privacy, and prided herself on maintaining a low profile.
Unfortunately, the twins’ separate graduation ceremonies were scheduled on the same day at the same time. To be fair, the Fiers skipped both and went on their short vacation to Granite Falls instead. Upon returning, they commemorated the occasion with a few fun graduation pictures.
The twins felt almost ready to move out. There were just a few things they wanted to accomplish beforehand. Darius wanted to 1) leave behind a painting for his parents that represented his growth as an artist and 2) defeat his twin in a game.
#2 was the more important. Darius couldn’t remember beating any of his sisters in any game ever, except he had beaten Elmire once, but that didn’t count to him because she was literally just a little kid. His other sisters (Dyna especially) did not seem to understand the concept of having mercy or going easy on someone, so he decided that neither he nor Dyna was going to leave the family home before she tasted defeat at his hands.
He may not have been as silly as he used to be, but he still enjoyed creating the occasional clown fiesta. In Darius’ mind, he was the protagonist who was finally ready for the challenge of defeating the final boss at the final battle, so he asked Dyna to play a card game.
He was going all-in.
Darius: Now, that we have reached the final scene—
Dyna: ? What scene? What do you mean?
Darius: Please don’t interrupt. Anyway, now that we have reached the final scene, you will soon realize that I am over nine thousand times better than I was before and that your abilities are like an empty insect shell when compared to mine!
Dyna: What?!
Darius: Compared to the deliciousness of my abilities, your abilities are like a strawberry cake without strawberries, without eggs, without milk, without sugar, without flour, and without butter!
Dyna: Okay…
In the end, he won! Was it a clean win? Maybe, but Dyna had hardly been able to concentrate or keep a straight face because he wouldn’t stop saying nonsensical things.
Dyna rose, graciously accepting her defeat.
Final battle won, Darius went to finish a painting for his parents. It ended up being a masterpiece #honest #humble.
Darius napped to Elmire’s piano lullabies, while his twin changed her clothes, packed, and went out to do the one thing she wanted to do before moving: stuff her face with the local food stand’s sweet and sour eggplant while it was still easily accessible.
Everything accomplished, the twins said goodbye to their parents and sisters and left.
These two weren’t going far, though, only to a two-story apartment in the fashion district.
Luckily, mom and dad paid to furnish it and coupled that with a graduation gift of 50,000 simoleons. #richkidsofsimstagram

Another visit to Azalea Abode and Shelly Heart's new hairstyle!
After a brief rest at Dianthus Hall, Shine and Princess Roddy set off back to Azalea Abode. Shine went upstairs into one of the bedrooms, and Princess Roddy went into his Azalea Abode bedroom. Shelly Heart was waiting. 'Hello, my adorable little cutie pie!' she said, smiling. 'Hello again, auntie Shelly!' the princess replied. Shelly Heart gave her adorable nephew a great, big, loving and warm hug:
'So, what do you think of my new hairstyle?' Shelly asked:
'It suits you, auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy replied, cheerfully:

Bedtime smooches from Shelly Heart!
Shelly Heart knelt down in front of Princess Roddy. She looked fondly at her adorable nephew:
Princess Roddy smiled. Later on, he felt tired. He changed into his masculine sleepwear outfit....and fell fast asleep on the floor. Shelly carefully picked him up and carried him over to his bed whilst applying more of her shiny, bright pink lipstick. She gently put her adorable nephew in his bed and tucked him in:
Shelly then gave Princess Roddy several very great, big, loving, bedtime smooches on his face:
'Have a safe journey into the Dream World, my adorable little cutie pie.' Shelly whispered:
'Auntie Shelly loves you a lot. Sweet dreams, Roddy.' she added:
Shelly blew a very great, big, loving kiss towards the princess, which landed on his nose. She then quietly left her adorable nephew's Azalea Abode bedroom. Princess Roddy's face was covered in several very great, big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches. He was fast asleep, and had entered the Dream World, where he had a leisurely walk in the forest behind his royal gardens:
Shelly talked with Shine for a while:
Later on, Princess Roddy woke up and removed the lipstick smooches from his face, using one of his makeup removal wipes. Then he got changed into his feminine cold weather outfit. Shine and the princess said goodbye and went back to Dianthus Hall, where Princess Roddy collected eggs from Feathersoft Coop:
He went inside and had hot chocolate with Sophia and Hamish.
Sibling assistance!
Princess Roddy went into his bedroom. Hamish followed in. The two siblings greeted each other:
'Could you do the animal husbandry routine for me this morning, little brother?' Princess Roddy asked:
'Of course, big brother! I would be glad to help!' Hamish replied, cheerfully:
'Thank you Hamish! You're the best!' Princess Roddy said, smiling. He gave his little brother a great, big, loving hug:
And a loving kiss on the cheek:
'You're welcome, Roddy!' Hamish said. He went downstairs and out into the back garden, ready to start the animal husbandry routine.
Animal Husbandry with Hamish!
Picture only section:
Hamish knew what to do. He often helped to look after his big brother's livestock whenever he and his mum was away on holiday. 'Right, time to get started!' Hamish said to himself. Soon, he was working hard:
At last, he had finished!
Painting and marketing slogans.
Tiffany Furystrykar had a sudden flash of inspiration. She ran over to her art studio, below the photography room, and started painting:
At last, she had finished the painting:
Tiffany called it Lady with the Red Hair. She stood back and admired her work:
Tiffany then sold it to an art gallery. They were very impressed! Meanwhile, Chloe Furystrykar was hard at work, helping a client come up with a marketing slogan for a product:
The client was pleased with Chloe's professionalism, and she got a bonus! Chloe was thrilled. She was glad she chose to be a freelance writer, as she could work at her own pace.
This...is probably the longest post I've ever done...
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
Yuna graduated!
Now she is out of here because she was just using my sim to get through University.
Just kidding.
She has to stick around because she has to pay off those student loans, and besides, my sim is going to be a Millionaire.
(Still kidding.)They just reached a major milestone---500,000 simoleons in the bank.
And on the first day of Summer. That's the halfway point of their Morel mushroom crop.
They just might make a million by the beginning of Autumn. They also have a money tree seed now.
As a reward for reaching this milestone, I am renovating their house. The place is so small, the rooms are doing triple duty.
The living room will replace the bedroom, which means the entrance and the bathroom have to swap places.
An office/art studio is being added.
Two bedrooms and a second living space outside the bedrooms are upstairs.
I could squeeze things and make three bedrooms, but my sim isn't going to start a major family here.
Space for the basement was limited, without creating bulges around the exterior walls in the garden.
But there is enough space to put stuff I don't want upstairs. Yuna has a career in Social Media and Public Relations.
She will also create video blogs.
I spent more time on this than I intended, and there is still more fine tuning, but I will do that as I play.
This is good for now.
I won't bother with the second bedroom. He just might marry Yuna, but they might be out of here before winter.
But then again, I could do another farming season so they will be mega rich when they buy their mansion. A child or two may happen.
Yuna is a heavy computer user and I also wanted one of those research computers.
Also, from now on, I will scale down their graduation pictures, awards, and diplomas. They are too large.
These cluster together nicely at this size.
Photospam:
This space can be flexible as a play area for toddlers and children, or a table games area.
The exterior isn't going to win any awards, but it's a shipping container home.
I am enjoying this scenario and I am looking forward to the end of summer and their trip to Selvadorada.
They are taking classes and skilling up in archeology in preparation, but I might make a few trips soon just to build up their excavation skills.
[UPDATE]
Another Milestone.
My sims made 750,000 Simoleons and I am making them a greenhouse for the fall and winter.
I'm not sure if Del Sol Valley even needs it, but I may place this lot in other worlds in the future.
I used my CC greenhouse roofs to layout the space.
It will also double as a Maker's space.
I believe the gardener is mad because my sim takes care of all the plants before she arrives.
She arrives too late. The plants start to weed-up at sixish, we can't afford to let them sit around like that for 3 hours.
She will just have to do clean-up work.
You know how I tend to get the urge to restart my Cole legacy? This time I've gotten into a better rhythm. Here is what changed:
I'm not playing as my original founders, Ryan and Katherine, but I actually gave Ryan a new name. Andrew. He's close to becoming an adult and his wife, Elizabeth*, is five days(or 'years') younger than him. They have a son named Cyrus and I'll be having them try for a second child when Cyrus is close to becoming a child.
*Elizabeth is a new edit of another former OG Cole legacy sim, Alison Foster. Now she's Elizabeth Farnsworth-Cole.
Andrew Cole
Elizabeth Cole
Cyrus Cole - He kind of reminds me of my old legacy's Benjamin Cole, but with darker skin and lighter hair
The family - Mom made Cyrus's hat
ETA: I've also been playing a Long lifespan so I started this particular family two weeks ago.

My computer had been acting up lately, but now it's fixed. Unfortunately, I lost the pictures except for one. For now, use your imagination for this one. The next chapter will have the pictures for sure.
Scenario Complete.
The ending was interesting. Much sooner than I expected, and a day early because Eric was suddenly give 50,000 simoleons from investments because of his Frugal reward trait. On top of that, Yuna reached the top of her career ladder the same day and brought in an extra 10,000.
So I sent them to Selvadorada, even though the scenario is over.
They took their favorite pal, Tina Tinker with them.
Yuna's favorite color is obviously acid green.
Her hair is green, her favorite drink is green, and she gets green spots when poisoned.
I brought them home early because they weren't finding many artifact digs. They weren't really prepared for the trip either.
Also Yuna was furious at Tina for hitting on her man when they reached that romantic falls area. Speaking of her man, he is going to have a serious workout regime. He had a perfect physique when she first met him. Now he's turned to a sack of putty.
This was their measly haul.
I will send then back when they are better at spotting potential dig sites.
They are already setting up their fall and winter planting season for the greenhouse.
The rest of their archeology skills will have to come by book.
They are ridiculously wealthy with 1,200,000 simoleons in the bank.
They stored away a chest of Morel Mushrooms and are digging up the plants so they don't have to manage it anymore.
Yuna also quit her job.
All those plants filled the dumpster.
A little diving cleans it up.
I had to close the distance.
It was too far away.
Now that they are filthy rich, they can start planning for the next goal:
Moving to this house that I am preparing for them in Newcrest.
There are some architectural issues that I have to work out, but it should be a much nicer place with a pool and pool house and a pretty garden.
Their vegetable and rare plants gardening will be in the greenhouse from now on.
Most of the homes in the neighborhood is in this style.
I would like to carry over the look of there current home as far as the interior goes.
I am not in a hurry for them to move out.
They will probably have a toddler and a child before they leave.
A new life for Yuna.
Also, they are going to use some of that money to create a new retail business for all my sims to use: World Adventures Outfitters.
Now all my adventuring sims should be able to buy everything they need instead of those random piddly offerings provided by Selvadoradian locals.
@Metior_Ice That's interesting for our sims to have something in common.
Is Zach cursed with that curse that makes sims fight the cursed sim on sight? Or, is it just fame with spellcasters?
He does not get the curse (Hex of the Duelist or something?) and I'm not sure it's due to his fame.
I think several duel events just happened consecutively, but this happening surely stimulated my imagination (I don't know why ).
I tend to try to make connections to things whenever I can. It helps me visualize what characters are like. I look forward to more updates! Even if characters have things in common, they can still be very different!
I started a new save, mainly to create background characters for another story I have (I’ll save them to the gallery at the appropriate point). They’re a couple living in a tiny home. Anyway, I clicked on the woman to get the camera to centre on her, and I noticed her interaction is Witness Death! Turns out her husband is about to get crushed by the Murphy bed Either I’ll try and plead with Grim, or just go with it and have it be part of the story.
The kicker? She’s pregnant with their first child
Pleading didn’t work. I moved her to Evergreen Harbour, well away from the house where her husband died. So RIP Alan Gardner. Poor Debbie and her poor, poor child who’ll grow up without a father.
I wanted to wish you best of luck, but I'm sorry things didn't work out. It might be an interesting story though.
@Becka28 Sounds like quite the ordeal! Sorry you went through all that. Quin and Rohan seem like good comfort sims to come home to. It's good to see them again.
@Metior_Ice Well, when I'm keeping up with the thread I don't like to click on links to other posts much, but when I'm coming back to the thread like now having your story in one place I can click a link to is really convenient for catching up. So I would vote for both but only if it's not too much work.
Thank you for the feedback. It won't be too much work to copy-paste the story and put it in the spoiler. I'll maintain my story thread for easy reference.
my ancient dragon-blooded civilization just reached its third generation. now on 26 sims on my lot, the parents just died last I played them in real-life morning. I'm planning on expanding the reach of our power to the other worlds. Yes, I'm treating sims like a battle game where I need to expand! YEAH!
As promised, I wanted to say that I really enjoy your updates. There's a distinct voice in your writing that always brings your sims to life. I loved how Elmire imagined herself as an adult playing the piano.
I also wanted to add something to my previous update. While I have my thoughts about my twins, I was wondering about what you think makes Dylan and Zeph so different?
Thank you very much for the kind comment! About Dylan and Zephyr, it's not so much about how they look, but that you always describe them as being different. I just imagine that they have such different personalities (with Dylan being musical and Zephyr being a technical genius) that they do different things to the extent that it's easy to tell them apart, especially if you're family (but maybe not)?
@Becka28 Welcome back! I hope you're feeling okay. I'm happy to see Quin and Rohan again too.
This comment gave me the perfect opportunity to introduce my thoughts for how Sarah Darkfin will be defeated.
Zeph is definitely different from Dylan, and he probably won't obliviously eat something given to him by a fan. It's also probably worth noting that he's aware of Sarah and what she did to his twin. He won't be falling for any tricks.
Don't get me wrong. Dylan is smart, in a creative way, but he's not observant. Dylan is trusting and gives others the benefit of the doubt.
If someone could come up with a plan, or strategy, to deal with Sarah, it would be Zeph. I don't think Sarah will be able to outwit him.
@CK213 Congrats on completing Making Money. Their future home look amazing.
Yuna, made me think of FF10.
Did archeology give a lot of money? I think some of my sims made 5000 - 8000 per object they identified.
This one is not making much money on her Vet Clinic and it's been pretty hectic most days.

Raj Rasoya in his happy place: decorating for Winterfest with a daughter
He's the proud dad of three daughters who keep getting in each other's way.
Sisters can be so annoying
Raj, is that a gift, or a hint?
But hopefully as they grow up they'll find their separate identities and stop driving each other so crazy. If only for Dad's sake.
First to age up this week was Breana. This one aged up gloomy. An Outgoing Gloomy Nerd Brain, to be specific.
She's into science, and space. She seized the opportunity at Geekcon and is still so curious...
She received a music mix station for Winterfest and she's been busily usta usta-ing away in there.
Her first track, Calculator Calculator, turned out Outstanding. She submitted it to the Maxis Music label, but they didn't want it. So she released it on her own. Their loss.
Breana has gone on a couple of dates. She tried to go out with Malachi Beaver for New Year's Eve
--but he suddenly left. But then she met Courtney Granados who might be a better match. (He's also gloomy. They understand each other.) While she was still at the bar with Courtney, she got a much more significant phone call...
Madison Kibo?! I guess the cross-stitching housewife and mother of two has a side hustle here... She does play violin, but so far not very well...
And we have a record deal! Nice job, talented teen!
Breana's date with Courtney was much better indeed. The conversation was more interesting
And this fellow clearly wasn't wanting to go anywhere.
Jenifer aged up soon after. Jenifer's favorite things are piano, baking, and her best friend Maira. And, of course, her dad.
Especially cooking with her dad!
Jenifer and Maira are very special together
Not too old to goof off like a total fool with her best friend.
Not too mature to make fun of her big sister at the spice festival for (a) being flirty with a boy, and (b) failing the spice challenge, which Jenifer did not fail
Jenifer can bake on her own now
Breana would rather make healthier food.
Sai the neighbor came over, attracted by the smell of brownies. Hmm, it looks like they might be attracted by something else as well...
5 seconds later
unflirty dad has taken over sofa
meanwhile cat has taken over brownie plates.
Jenifer and Raj discussed the possibility of trying out Jenifer as a concert performer around town. Jenifer begged to be allowed. Raj said, "Only if I come too." "Do you have to?" asked Jenifer. "That's how it is until you age up," said Raj firmly.
Jenifer got ready at home. Raj took lots of pictures. You only get ready for a first concert once.
It was just in the listening room at Sunflower's. The audience was kind of small.
Jenifer didn't care. She was in a happy dreamworld of music. She heard the restaurant noises, improvising her way around clinking silverware and laughing voices, adding her own countermelodies to strangers' evening
She got paid
And returned home exhausted, but thrilled. She wants to do this for the rest of her life.
Let's not forget about little Paola. The kids are often home alone in the evenings while Raj works as a chef. Paola handles the neighbor noise issues. Perhaps there is a career in law enforcement ahead?
I mean, if this lady came to your door making that face, wouldn't you shape up immediately?
And Paola's learning at school that being honest and following the rules can really pay off, especially when you have trouble and need help.
After trying to keep up with his musical older daughters' successes in music mixing and performance, Raj decided to take Paola for a special trip to KIDLAND!!!!! just for her. It was snowing out, so it was a great day for indoor jungle gym play. Paola met Cooper (and finished that aspiration milestone since she was feeling playful)
Meanwhile, Raj relaxed.
Man, that is some serious relaxation. It's like he is one with the couch.
Unflirty dad's remaining act of kindness toward his family was having the cat spayed. He sure seems to feel better after having that done. The human feels better, that is.
I discovered something unexpected today. Krista, Lir's Wife, autonomously adopted Maria Eldora, Calden's Girlfriend. Right now, Krista is expecting, and I'm preparing for twins. There's not a guarantee for twins, but now, I have to make a bedroom for a teenager while preparing the nursery...
I discovered that Krista adopted Maria when she would autonomously stop to think about her. She was hesitant to move in with Lir because she had someone that depended on her... I didn't know it was Maria.
Oh, for those who don't know, Calden is my rags to riches teen.
It's now three days until Andrew becomes an adult and the Coles just welcomed their second son, Dylan! I can't wait to see who he looks like. Maybe opposite of his big brother.

I was busy with rearranging th background families and building new location and playtesting them, so the time flew away. However it is still a big update. I waive of the backgroundstory this time and I guess in the next couple of years, too.
Let's start with the twins Nicole and Tanja, they have celebrated their 18th birthdays with a big party. Actually it should be at home, I had already prepared everything, but then I clicked on the false location without recognize the mistake.
Shortly after they moved out and moved in to their boyfriends. Tanja became pregnant very fast, while Nicole got an unexpected proposal. So Sandra became the big bedroom.
Sandra's first boyfriend came and went.
Sandra became a young adult
During her last year in school, she finally decided what she would studying, Law. Because cause of the numerus clausus of this study direction, she has to learn hard.
Sometimes the stress is too much and she needed some distraction, while complaining about her life.
She became obsessed with the idea of studying in Havard, so she applied there.
And her wish came true.
It was a huge sum, the tuition, in 1995 the student fee was around 20.500 Euros per year*. Her parents had to swallow when they heard the sum and urged them to apply for a sholarship on student foundation, which was granted to.
*I found this sum in a magazine about the USA which I've bought in 1995.
Meanwhile Fabian solved a crime.
It started with the death of of a colleague during his shift.
On the way back to home he found two little children wandering around the street. They lead him to Peter Frankenfels.
But something wasn't right, Peter behave stranged and nervously when Fabian asked him about the children.
Peter became aggressive and started an attack on Fabian, but he lost the fight.
Then it became clear. He had kidnapped a woman. Fabian rescued her. Instead of her, Peter is now behind the bars for a very long time.
Sandra's first day in Havard, exciting times, get to know each other.
It wasn't twins! Thank the watcher! Krista had a boy named Zalen. He's going to be another white tail prince. I guess Lir's title might be Abalone King.
@Daephene Hey there, glad to see you post! I am also behind on the Spa Day update by playing with the new content heh. I always love your elderly home post, and everyone looks to be enjoying the spa!
@Becka28 Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry all that happened to you and am even more happy you are doing better!
Awww! I have the same couple of mods you shown! I just got them recently and the cuddle in bed melts my heart especially with a couple like Rohan and Quinn!
Hehe, I live your place test as there is always a lot to look out, build wise and sim wise. LOL poor Clara, but wow she is toned!
@Daravi glad to see you back with your decades challenge! Enjoying it as always, it is amazing to see how things have progressed since the challenge has started with no T. V, lights, love, and activities!
I really loved to detective scene it had a good pace of solving the case and glad the woman was rescued and the kids! Also congrats to Sandra what an ambitious dream, I am rooting for her!
@BlueSeaWaves Welcome back! And I am really enjoying your story, the characters are so interesting and in depth yet some of them seem clocked and hidden, I am eager to read more!
@sarabeth2984 Welcome back as well! I love seeing your families and I love Joana and Simeon together heh and that is a good look with the Star Wars go larping how fun, some good photo shots too!
@mightysprite I really love following your posts of your game, especially your Miko/Akira/ Darling ones, I really like Akshara and Aadhya my heart goes out to both their struggles with each other. And little Marco is very cute look just like Miko already it seems!
Oh, oh just saw your Raj Rasoya update, I love this story to of course heh, I really like what you did with Raj, in my game he just grows old and kind of dies, I think him as a single dad is a such a great idea.
Aww, I love how the girls are getting signed and gigs and as you said finding their own passions even if they still pick at each other lol but that is just siblings~
@haneul Thank you for the welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the highlights 😊 Heh I was happy I found all the right poses, I don’t use them too often but I loved how these turned out. Ah yes, Max and Rainbow’s relationship is my top favorite out of all of my sims hands down (And I quite a few sims heh). Yeah that is how I feel about Dec a trail of dots, but yes, Hazel has a lot of light and love in her bleakish circumstances. Thank you! I spent a while picking those out heh, I wanted to simulate a difference of age in the single age height we are given for kids, they went from about 6-7 to 10-11ish now, I will try to do an even more young teen look at about 13 for them before they age up truly into teens (I see teens as 14-17 or 18, it is hard but gotta work with the same height factors they give you).
As always, I’ve enjoyed your updates, your family as an alluring pull, I love to read each post! Elmire is a beauty of a girl and I’ve enjoyed her toddlerhood, her willful direct personality and over assurance is catching and I love to see what is next for her.
Aww Dawn is pregnant! And I do love it when sims write the story or play right into your thoughts of the story aka uncontrolled, it makes things very interesting and that much more endearing.
Introducing Cocoa Update: LOL I really love Asher! xD with all of his faults and insecurities and reaction moments rage plus panic had me laughing hahaha.
Aww Elmire room has such a warm yet gorgeous feel to it! And her imagining herself as an older pianist is so childlike and she is beautiful even if just from the back, also her naming the piano is super sweet too.
Two More Out the Door: Heh, I’ve very much enjoyed seeing a bit more of Darius and Dyna, I do remember Darius from previous post though, the Instagram pics were awesome, and I love the sibling rivalry competitiveness the two have going on, best wishes to both of them!
I will have a proper update here in a few days here are some links for those wondering
I moved the Gardners to another save. I’d used testingcheats to add Alan to the household, then had a couple of mods to assign him to a new gravestone.
Debbie has a day job as a gardener but she also makes quite a bit of money by selling some of her garden plants at the stall in Henford on Bagley. She’s a pretty accomplished gardener and has a number of rare plants, like dragonfruit and death flowers and so on. She doesn’t sell everything she harvests, just a number of rare items, and can sometimes make around §3000 at once! It’s great because for a while the family struggled with money.
Will has the bestselling author aspiration. I’m pretty sure I mentioned that Debbie adopted a little girl, Hattie, who’s now a child and wants to become an artistic prodigy like Will did. I’ll have her be a musician when she grows up.
Just another small update, I recreated my merfolk clubs and made the final decision on Juniper's occult status. Juniper will permanently be a merman. Even though he's an Earth Elemental, he's not the Spirit of the Land. He's the Spirit of Plants. Also, the Zalrian Household is already pretty complex with the variety of Occults, and this will make things easier.
On a side note, I've always imagined that the Elemental influence on their biology was strongest with the Twins, Dylan and Zeph, and got diluted with each additional child. As I imagine it, Juniper has always been more of a merman than an Elemental.
Ember and Jade will continue to have their occult status. It makes more sense for their elemental attributes.
I think I made this post somewhere on another thread, but I also gave Damion the Sulani Mana Trait, and I updated his appearance. His dark form will be his Shadow Elemental form.
Suddenly the party feels more promising
[img][/img]
The party was succesful and we were gifted a nice piano.
The bartender is not just showing of, she is as good as they can be and we can order some cool drinks. These on the list cost 1000 to make ourselves, so this is quite a bargain.

Princess Roddy headed over to Bedlington Boathouse. He waited in the affection corner. Eliana Bunch came over. 'Hello, sweetiekins, how are you?' Eliana asked. 'I'm doing well, as is Tiffany Furystrykar!' Princess Roddy replied. 'That's good to hear!' Eliana said, cheerfully. She applied her shiny, bright pink lipstick.

@Metior_Ice
Thank you very much for the kind comment! About Dylan and Zephyr, it's not so much about how they look, but that you always describe them as being different. I just imagine that they have such different personalities (with Dylan being musical and Zephyr being a technical genius) that they do different things to the extent that it's easy to tell them apart, especially if you're family (but maybe not)?
@Becka28 Welcome back! I hope you're feeling okay.
@mightysprite I hope Akira is able to tone down the jealousy a bit and let Madison speak to whomever. It was cute to see them napping together. I like the apartment redesign for Sierra and Armando - it looks comfortable. Chickaboom is too cute as a chick!
Thank you!
@BlueSeaWaves It's nice to see you pop back into the thread. I like Wally and Neyla, and I like them together, but I'm also happy to see that Barbara is not too enthusiastic about the couple. She's looking out for her sister. Is it a red flag that Wally's kid doesn't have any toys? That seems like questionable parenting for sure. Then, he's flirting with a waitress…
@sarabeth2984 Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and hope you are able to enjoy the holidays.
You scared me with that first picture of Cecilia and the murphy bed. That thing is so dangerous! For her to die after you make it clear that she's sweet and looks out for Barnaby's daughter…

Fier Legacy - it's a little weird, today.
Intro & Past Posts in Spoiler
The Fiers are a vampire family led by an arrogant and socially awkward megalomaniac named Asher who, among other things, hopes to have 100 children. As of now, he's had 17. The youngest five (minus #17) recently became young adults and are discovering the perks of university, so Asher's ready to move on from the life he's built with them in Sulani. Even though everyone is into pursuing an eco lifestyle and protecting the environment and even though Asher employed some draconian conservation policies while working as a top-level conservationist, he's done with that kind of tiny living stuff and had a (gaudy flamboyant) palace built in San Myshuno, where he recently relocated his family and where he intends to raise the next generation of his children.

PAST POSTS
Two More Out the Door
It is not completely unfair to say that as a young teenager and even as a freshman in college, Darius Fier had been a vain clown (#richkidsofsimstagram) who couldn’t cook without starting a fire.
BUT, while studying in college, he had matured—he learned to stay away from grills! He also became more talented and less vain. Darius still loves selfies, but he tried to erase all his embarrassing #richkid posts from the Internet (which wasn’t easy). Anyway, he had just graduated from Britechester University with a distinguished degree in fine arts and a perfect GPA. A+ was the only grade he’d ever seen. Deli, his slightly older sister, and the family’s reigning academic Queen, had very little on him.
Dyna, Darius’ twin, graduated from the Foxbury Institute with similar but not quite perfect grades and a distinguished degree in computer science. Dyna was just as ridiculously competitive as the rest of her family, but she was also quiet, liked privacy, and prided herself on maintaining a low profile.
Unfortunately, the twins’ separate graduation ceremonies were scheduled on the same day at the same time. To be fair, the Fiers skipped both and went on their short vacation to Granite Falls instead. Upon returning, they commemorated the occasion with a few fun graduation pictures.
The twins felt almost ready to move out. There were just a few things they wanted to accomplish beforehand. Darius wanted to 1) leave behind a painting for his parents that represented his growth as an artist and 2) defeat his twin in a game.
#2 was the more important. Darius couldn’t remember beating any of his sisters in any game ever, except he had beaten Elmire once, but that didn’t count to him because she was literally just a little kid. His other sisters (Dyna especially) did not seem to understand the concept of having mercy or going easy on someone, so he decided that neither he nor Dyna was going to leave the family home before she tasted defeat at his hands.
He was going all-in.
Darius: Now, that we have reached the final scene—
Dyna: ? What scene? What do you mean?
Darius: Please don’t interrupt. Anyway, now that we have reached the final scene, you will soon realize that I am over nine thousand times better than I was before and that your abilities are like an empty insect shell when compared to mine!
Dyna:
Darius: Compared to the deliciousness of my abilities, your abilities are like a strawberry cake without strawberries, without eggs, without milk, without sugar, without flour, and without butter!
Dyna: Okay…
In the end, he won! Was it a clean win? Maybe, but Dyna had hardly been able to concentrate or keep a straight face because he wouldn’t stop saying nonsensical things.
Dyna rose, graciously accepting her defeat.
Final battle won, Darius went to finish a painting for his parents. It ended up being a masterpiece #honest #humble.
Darius napped to Elmire’s piano lullabies, while his twin changed her clothes, packed, and went out to do the one thing she wanted to do before moving: stuff her face with the local food stand’s sweet and sour eggplant while it was still easily accessible.
Everything accomplished, the twins said goodbye to their parents and sisters and left.
These two weren’t going far, though, only to a two-story apartment in the fashion district.
Luckily, mom and dad paid to furnish it and coupled that with a graduation gift of 50,000 simoleons. #richkidsofsimstagram

'Did my adorable little cutie pie enjoy Christmas?' Shelly asked:
'I sure did, auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy replied, cheerfully:
'That's good to hear!' Shelly said, smiling sweetly. She carefully picked up her nephew and gave him a great, big, loving snuggle. Then Shelly applied her shiny, bright pink lipstick, whilst still carrying Princess Roddy. She gently put the princess back down on the ground.
She then gave the princess several very great, big, loving smooches on his face:
Princess Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shelly had covered his face in several very great, big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches!
The princess used one of his makeup removal wipes to remove the lipstick smooches from his face:
Shelly blew a very great, big, loving kiss towards her adorable nephew, which landed on his cheek:
Then she gave him a great, big, loving hug:
Afterwards, Shelly gave Princess Roddy a great, big, loving and warm cuddle:
She cuddled him tighter:
Then she planted a very great, big, loving smooch on her adorable nephew's cheeks, nose and forehead. Shelly gave Princess Roddy a very great, big, long, loving smooch on the top of his head. Princess Roddy giggled and kissed his favourite aunt's cheek.
The sisters then chatted to each other:
Shine and Princess Roddy said goodbye and went back home to Dianthus Hall. When they got back, Shine maintained her bonsai bush:
And the princess cleaned Belle:
Benjamin came over to Shine and the pair kissed:
Princess Roddy had a mud bath:
He enjoyed having a mud bath.
'So, what do you think of my new hairstyle?' Shelly asked:
'It suits you, auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy replied, cheerfully:
'Awww, thank you, my adorable little cutie pie!' Shelly said, smiling brightly. She carefully picked up Princess Roddy and gave him a great, big, loving snuggle. She applied her shiny, bright pink lipstick whilst carrying her adorable nephew. Then Shelly gently put Princess Roddy back on the floor.
Shelly gave her adorable nephew several very great, big, loving smooches on his face:
Princess Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shelly had covered his face in several very great, big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
The princess used one of his makeup removal wipes:

Shelly planted a very great, big, loving smooch on the princess's cheeks, nose and forehead. She then gave him a very great, big, long, loving smooch on the top of his head. Princess Roddy smiled.
Princess Roddy smiled. Later on, he felt tired. He changed into his masculine sleepwear outfit....and fell fast asleep on the floor. Shelly carefully picked him up and carried him over to his bed whilst applying more of her shiny, bright pink lipstick. She gently put her adorable nephew in his bed and tucked him in:
Shelly then gave Princess Roddy several very great, big, loving, bedtime smooches on his face:
'Have a safe journey into the Dream World, my adorable little cutie pie.' Shelly whispered:
'Auntie Shelly loves you a lot. Sweet dreams, Roddy.' she added:
Shelly blew a very great, big, loving kiss towards the princess, which landed on his nose. She then quietly left her adorable nephew's Azalea Abode bedroom. Princess Roddy's face was covered in several very great, big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches. He was fast asleep, and had entered the Dream World, where he had a leisurely walk in the forest behind his royal gardens:
Shelly talked with Shine for a while:
Later on, Princess Roddy woke up and removed the lipstick smooches from his face, using one of his makeup removal wipes. Then he got changed into his feminine cold weather outfit. Shine and the princess said goodbye and went back to Dianthus Hall, where Princess Roddy collected eggs from Feathersoft Coop:
He went inside and had hot chocolate with Sophia and Hamish.
'Could you do the animal husbandry routine for me this morning, little brother?' Princess Roddy asked:
'Of course, big brother! I would be glad to help!' Hamish replied, cheerfully:
'Thank you Hamish! You're the best!' Princess Roddy said, smiling. He gave his little brother a great, big, loving hug:
And a loving kiss on the cheek:
'You're welcome, Roddy!' Hamish said. He went downstairs and out into the back garden, ready to start the animal husbandry routine.
At last, he had finished!
At last, she had finished the painting:
Tiffany called it Lady with the Red Hair. She stood back and admired her work:
Tiffany then sold it to an art gallery. They were very impressed! Meanwhile, Chloe Furystrykar was hard at work, helping a client come up with a marketing slogan for a product:
The client was pleased with Chloe's professionalism, and she got a bonus! Chloe was thrilled. She was glad she chose to be a freelance writer, as she could work at her own pace.
This...is probably the longest post I've ever done...
Now she is out of here because she was just using my sim to get through University.
Just kidding.
She has to stick around because she has to pay off those student loans, and besides, my sim is going to be a Millionaire.
(Still kidding.)They just reached a major milestone---500,000 simoleons in the bank.
And on the first day of Summer. That's the halfway point of their Morel mushroom crop.
They just might make a million by the beginning of Autumn. They also have a money tree seed now.
As a reward for reaching this milestone, I am renovating their house. The place is so small, the rooms are doing triple duty.
The living room will replace the bedroom, which means the entrance and the bathroom have to swap places.
An office/art studio is being added.
Two bedrooms and a second living space outside the bedrooms are upstairs.
I could squeeze things and make three bedrooms, but my sim isn't going to start a major family here.
Space for the basement was limited, without creating bulges around the exterior walls in the garden.
But there is enough space to put stuff I don't want upstairs. Yuna has a career in Social Media and Public Relations.
She will also create video blogs.
I spent more time on this than I intended, and there is still more fine tuning, but I will do that as I play.
This is good for now.
I won't bother with the second bedroom. He just might marry Yuna, but they might be out of here before winter.
But then again, I could do another farming season so they will be mega rich when they buy their mansion. A child or two may happen.
Yuna is a heavy computer user and I also wanted one of those research computers.
Also, from now on, I will scale down their graduation pictures, awards, and diplomas. They are too large.
These cluster together nicely at this size.
Photospam:
This space can be flexible as a play area for toddlers and children, or a table games area.
The exterior isn't going to win any awards, but it's a shipping container home.
I am enjoying this scenario and I am looking forward to the end of summer and their trip to Selvadorada.
They are taking classes and skilling up in archeology in preparation, but I might make a few trips soon just to build up their excavation skills.
[UPDATE]
Another Milestone.
My sims made 750,000 Simoleons and I am making them a greenhouse for the fall and winter.
I'm not sure if Del Sol Valley even needs it, but I may place this lot in other worlds in the future.
I used my CC greenhouse roofs to layout the space.
It will also double as a Maker's space.
I believe the gardener is mad because my sim takes care of all the plants before she arrives.
She arrives too late. The plants start to weed-up at sixish, we can't afford to let them sit around like that for 3 hours.
She will just have to do clean-up work.
I'm not playing as my original founders, Ryan and Katherine, but I actually gave Ryan a new name. Andrew. He's close to becoming an adult and his wife, Elizabeth*, is five days(or 'years') younger than him. They have a son named Cyrus and I'll be having them try for a second child when Cyrus is close to becoming a child.
*Elizabeth is a new edit of another former OG Cole legacy sim, Alison Foster. Now she's Elizabeth Farnsworth-Cole.
Andrew Cole
Elizabeth Cole
Cyrus Cole - He kind of reminds me of my old legacy's Benjamin Cole, but with darker skin and lighter hair
The family - Mom made Cyrus's hat
ETA: I've also been playing a Long lifespan so I started this particular family two weeks ago.

Sorry for the lack of pictures in this chapter.
My computer had been acting up lately, but now it's fixed. Unfortunately, I lost the pictures except for one.
Again, sorry.
Chapter Nine: Exchange
The ending was interesting. Much sooner than I expected, and a day early because Eric was suddenly give 50,000 simoleons from investments because of his Frugal reward trait. On top of that, Yuna reached the top of her career ladder the same day and brought in an extra 10,000.
So I sent them to Selvadorada, even though the scenario is over.
They took their favorite pal, Tina Tinker with them.
Yuna's favorite color is obviously acid green.
Her hair is green, her favorite drink is green, and she gets green spots when poisoned.
I brought them home early because they weren't finding many artifact digs. They weren't really prepared for the trip either.
Also Yuna was furious at Tina for hitting on her man when they reached that romantic falls area. Speaking of her man, he is going to have a serious workout regime. He had a perfect physique when she first met him. Now he's turned to a sack of putty.
This was their measly haul.
I will send then back when they are better at spotting potential dig sites.
They are already setting up their fall and winter planting season for the greenhouse.
The rest of their archeology skills will have to come by book.
They are ridiculously wealthy with 1,200,000 simoleons in the bank.
They stored away a chest of Morel Mushrooms and are digging up the plants so they don't have to manage it anymore.
Yuna also quit her job.
All those plants filled the dumpster.
A little diving cleans it up.
I had to close the distance.
It was too far away.
Now that they are filthy rich, they can start planning for the next goal:
Moving to this house that I am preparing for them in Newcrest.
There are some architectural issues that I have to work out, but it should be a much nicer place with a pool and pool house and a pretty garden.
Their vegetable and rare plants gardening will be in the greenhouse from now on.
Most of the homes in the neighborhood is in this style.
I would like to carry over the look of there current home as far as the interior goes.
I am not in a hurry for them to move out.
They will probably have a toddler and a child before they leave.
A new life for Yuna.
Also, they are going to use some of that money to create a new retail business for all my sims to use: World Adventures Outfitters.
Now all my adventuring sims should be able to buy everything they need instead of those random piddly offerings provided by Selvadoradian locals.
In other news, college finals are finally over. I'll respond to tags first.
@Rochert
I tend to try to make connections to things whenever I can. It helps me visualize what characters are like. I look forward to more updates! Even if characters have things in common, they can still be very different!
@Lucy_Henley
I wanted to wish you best of luck, but I'm sorry things didn't work out. It might be an interesting story though.
@Daephene
Thank you for the feedback. It won't be too much work to copy-paste the story and put it in the spoiler. I'll maintain my story thread for easy reference.
That's the top Alan wore, but Alan's was purple.
This comment gave me the perfect opportunity to introduce my thoughts for how Sarah Darkfin will be defeated.
Zeph is definitely different from Dylan, and he probably won't obliviously eat something given to him by a fan. It's also probably worth noting that he's aware of Sarah and what she did to his twin. He won't be falling for any tricks.
Don't get me wrong. Dylan is smart, in a creative way, but he's not observant. Dylan is trusting and gives others the benefit of the doubt.
If someone could come up with a plan, or strategy, to deal with Sarah, it would be Zeph. I don't think Sarah will be able to outwit him.
This time with pictures!
Epilogue
@CK213 Congrats on completing Making Money. Their future home look amazing.
Yuna, made me think of FF10.
Did archeology give a lot of money? I think some of my sims made 5000 - 8000 per object they identified.
This one is not making much money on her Vet Clinic and it's been pretty hectic most days.

Raj Rasoya in his happy place: decorating for Winterfest with a daughter
He's the proud dad of three daughters who keep getting in each other's way.
Sisters can be so annoying
Raj, is that a gift, or a hint?
But hopefully as they grow up they'll find their separate identities and stop driving each other so crazy. If only for Dad's sake.
First to age up this week was Breana. This one aged up gloomy. An Outgoing Gloomy Nerd Brain, to be specific.
She's into science, and space. She seized the opportunity at Geekcon and is still so curious...
She received a music mix station for Winterfest and she's been busily usta usta-ing away in there.
Her first track, Calculator Calculator, turned out Outstanding. She submitted it to the Maxis Music label, but they didn't want it. So she released it on her own. Their loss.
Breana has gone on a couple of dates. She tried to go out with Malachi Beaver for New Year's Eve
--but he suddenly left. But then she met Courtney Granados who might be a better match. (He's also gloomy. They understand each other.) While she was still at the bar with Courtney, she got a much more significant phone call...
Madison Kibo?! I guess the cross-stitching housewife and mother of two has a side hustle here... She does play violin, but so far not very well...
And we have a record deal! Nice job, talented teen!
Breana's date with Courtney was much better indeed. The conversation was more interesting
And this fellow clearly wasn't wanting to go anywhere.
Jenifer aged up soon after. Jenifer's favorite things are piano, baking, and her best friend Maira. And, of course, her dad.
Especially cooking with her dad!
Jenifer and Maira are very special together
Not too old to goof off like a total fool with her best friend.
Not too mature to make fun of her big sister at the spice festival for (a) being flirty with a boy, and (b) failing the spice challenge, which Jenifer did not fail
Jenifer can bake on her own now
Breana would rather make healthier food.
Sai the neighbor came over, attracted by the smell of brownies. Hmm, it looks like they might be attracted by something else as well...
5 seconds later
unflirty dad has taken over sofa
meanwhile cat has taken over brownie plates.
Jenifer and Raj discussed the possibility of trying out Jenifer as a concert performer around town. Jenifer begged to be allowed. Raj said, "Only if I come too." "Do you have to?" asked Jenifer. "That's how it is until you age up," said Raj firmly.
Jenifer got ready at home. Raj took lots of pictures. You only get ready for a first concert once.
Jenifer didn't care. She was in a happy dreamworld of music. She heard the restaurant noises, improvising her way around clinking silverware and laughing voices, adding her own countermelodies to strangers' evening
She got paid
And returned home exhausted, but thrilled. She wants to do this for the rest of her life.
Let's not forget about little Paola. The kids are often home alone in the evenings while Raj works as a chef. Paola handles the neighbor noise issues. Perhaps there is a career in law enforcement ahead?
I mean, if this lady came to your door making that face, wouldn't you shape up immediately?
And Paola's learning at school that being honest and following the rules can really pay off, especially when you have trouble and need help.
After trying to keep up with his musical older daughters' successes in music mixing and performance, Raj decided to take Paola for a special trip to KIDLAND!!!!! just for her. It was snowing out, so it was a great day for indoor jungle gym play. Paola met Cooper (and finished that aspiration milestone since she was feeling playful)
Meanwhile, Raj relaxed.
Man, that is some serious relaxation. It's like he is one with the couch.
Unflirty dad's remaining act of kindness toward his family was having the cat spayed. He sure seems to feel better after having that done. The human feels better, that is.
Oh, for those who don't know, Calden is my rags to riches teen.

P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
I was busy with rearranging th background families and building new location and playtesting them, so the time flew away. However it is still a big update. I waive of the backgroundstory this time and I guess in the next couple of years, too.
Let's start with the twins Nicole and Tanja, they have celebrated their 18th birthdays with a big party. Actually it should be at home, I had already prepared everything, but then I clicked on the false location without recognize the mistake.
Shortly after they moved out and moved in to their boyfriends. Tanja became pregnant very fast, while Nicole got an unexpected proposal. So Sandra became the big bedroom.
Sandra became a young adult
During her last year in school, she finally decided what she would studying, Law. Because cause of the numerus clausus of this study direction, she has to learn hard.
Sometimes the stress is too much and she needed some distraction, while complaining about her life.
She became obsessed with the idea of studying in Havard, so she applied there.
And her wish came true.
It was a huge sum, the tuition, in 1995 the student fee was around 20.500 Euros per year*. Her parents had to swallow when they heard the sum and urged them to apply for a sholarship on student foundation, which was granted to.
*I found this sum in a magazine about the USA which I've bought in 1995.
On the way back to home he found two little children wandering around the street. They lead him to Peter Frankenfels.
But something wasn't right, Peter behave stranged and nervously when Fabian asked him about the children.
Peter became aggressive and started an attack on Fabian, but he lost the fight.
Then it became clear. He had kidnapped a woman. Fabian rescued her. Instead of her, Peter is now behind the bars for a very long time.
Sandra's first day in Havard, exciting times, get to know each other.
Joining the debate club.
Incoming a comment post!
@Daephene Hey there, glad to see you post! I am also behind on the Spa Day update by playing with the new content heh. I always love your elderly home post, and everyone looks to be enjoying the spa!
@Becka28 Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry all that happened to you and am even more happy you are doing better!
Awww! I have the same couple of mods you shown! I just got them recently and the cuddle in bed melts my heart especially with a couple like Rohan and Quinn!
Hehe, I live your place test as there is always a lot to look out, build wise and sim wise. LOL poor Clara, but wow she is toned!
@Daravi glad to see you back with your decades challenge! Enjoying it as always, it is amazing to see how things have progressed since the challenge has started with no T. V, lights, love, and activities!
I really loved to detective scene it had a good pace of solving the case and glad the woman was rescued and the kids! Also congrats to Sandra what an ambitious dream, I am rooting for her!
@BlueSeaWaves Welcome back! And I am really enjoying your story, the characters are so interesting and in depth yet some of them seem clocked and hidden, I am eager to read more!
@sarabeth2984 Welcome back as well! I love seeing your families and I love Joana and Simeon together heh and that is a good look with the Star Wars go larping how fun, some good photo shots too!
@mightysprite I really love following your posts of your game, especially your Miko/Akira/ Darling ones, I really like Akshara and Aadhya my heart goes out to both their struggles with each other. And little Marco is very cute look just like Miko already it seems!
Oh, oh just saw your Raj Rasoya update, I love this story to of course heh, I really like what you did with Raj, in my game he just grows old and kind of dies, I think him as a single dad is a such a great idea.
Aww, I love how the girls are getting signed and gigs and as you said finding their own passions even if they still pick at each other lol but that is just siblings~
@haneul Thank you for the welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the highlights 😊 Heh I was happy I found all the right poses, I don’t use them too often but I loved how these turned out. Ah yes, Max and Rainbow’s relationship is my top favorite out of all of my sims hands down (And I quite a few sims heh). Yeah that is how I feel about Dec a trail of dots, but yes, Hazel has a lot of light and love in her bleakish circumstances. Thank you! I spent a while picking those out heh, I wanted to simulate a difference of age in the single age height we are given for kids, they went from about 6-7 to 10-11ish now, I will try to do an even more young teen look at about 13 for them before they age up truly into teens (I see teens as 14-17 or 18, it is hard but gotta work with the same height factors they give you).
As always, I’ve enjoyed your updates, your family as an alluring pull, I love to read each post! Elmire is a beauty of a girl and I’ve enjoyed her toddlerhood, her willful direct personality and over assurance is catching and I love to see what is next for her.
Aww Dawn is pregnant! And I do love it when sims write the story or play right into your thoughts of the story aka uncontrolled, it makes things very interesting and that much more endearing.
Introducing Cocoa Update: LOL I really love Asher! xD with all of his faults and insecurities and reaction moments rage plus panic had me laughing hahaha.
Aww Elmire room has such a warm yet gorgeous feel to it! And her imagining herself as an older pianist is so childlike and she is beautiful even if just from the back, also her naming the piano is super sweet too.
Two More Out the Door: Heh, I’ve very much enjoyed seeing a bit more of Darius and Dyna, I do remember Darius from previous post though, the Instagram pics were awesome, and I love the sibling rivalry competitiveness the two have going on, best wishes to both of them!

Debbie has a day job as a gardener but she also makes quite a bit of money by selling some of her garden plants at the stall in Henford on Bagley. She’s a pretty accomplished gardener and has a number of rare plants, like dragonfruit and death flowers and so on. She doesn’t sell everything she harvests, just a number of rare items, and can sometimes make around §3000 at once! It’s great because for a while the family struggled with money.
Will has the bestselling author aspiration. I’m pretty sure I mentioned that Debbie adopted a little girl, Hattie, who’s now a child and wants to become an artistic prodigy like Will did. I’ll have her be a musician when she grows up.
On a side note, I've always imagined that the Elemental influence on their biology was strongest with the Twins, Dylan and Zeph, and got diluted with each additional child. As I imagine it, Juniper has always been more of a merman than an Elemental.
Ember and Jade will continue to have their occult status. It makes more sense for their elemental attributes.
I think I made this post somewhere on another thread, but I also gave Damion the Sulani Mana Trait, and I updated his appearance. His dark form will be his Shadow Elemental form.

The bartender is not just showing of, she is as good as they can be and we can order some cool drinks. These on the list cost 1000 to make ourselves, so this is quite a bargain.
