@Charlottesmom Poor Darian! No wonder he wanted to get out of there!
I can see why he's not complaining about being with Debbi
Lovely new family and great pics of them having family fun
Did a unicorn poop that snowcone?
Light doesn't know how to die properly!
Awwww little Meggie sees dead people
Other people complain when they find clones in their towns but you do it on purpose
Love the pet shop!
Did Connor get chubby or buff? It looks like muscle to me!
Great action shot of Jared!
I wonder why sims go cross-eyed occasionally? It always freaks me out when it happens to an elder because it usually means they are about to die.
Love the underwear sampling
Gregory is so cute with his socks on! There is something about a naked man with socks that makes me angry. A man who doesn't take off his socks when he takes of his clothes has commitment issues IMO.
Love the strategic pic taking
I suspected skin coloured undies when I saw no squares!
Miraj is such a cutie
I love the bedtime reading but never see it in my games because the kids are never tired when I send them to bed
Jordan daily rolled wishes to read bedtime stories to his kids but never got that wish
That "quick build" you did on the other thread...AMAZING!
What you call quick I call hours!
@emorrill , Don’t be too impressed, the inside isn’t even close to finished, the kitchen is done plus dining area but the rest is el blanko! The outside took about an hour or so, the inside about 45 minutes, I get really slow doing decorating, too many choices in Sims 3!! Will most likely post it when finished in my my builds thread, I want to keep track of my builds without looking through a billion pictures...kinda like posting my favorites here for a diary type thread. I love having all my favorites stuff from my stories/play in one spot (you should start a thread like this for your favorite stuff, it will all be in one area when you want to look back, instead of trying to find everything spread in several threads! ).
@Charlottesmom Trampington sisters! LOL
Lovely seeing your Entwined characters again Lots of Luke pics!
I am playing a "hot weather" game that doesn't require me to have the game open for more than an hour at a time and I should start my own "diary" type thread, although I am not really taking many pics because I am not documenting more than the occasional thing that takes my fancy and kids when they come along.
@Mikezumi , If you start a diary thread put pictures that you have taken in the past of all the cuties *Finnian* that you created or were born in game *Finnian* I can’t think of any off hand but *Finnian* if any do come to mind I’ll be sure to *Finnian* let you know!
@Mikezumi , Only one of the most gorgeous Sims ever produced from the loins of two of your Sims! I was so sad when he moved out. . Seriously though, you should start a diary thread, you’ve had some awesome Sims!
Meggie aged up to YA, I HATED her before I fixed her lips and made her look like a tall teen Meggie..
Mauling VJ..she did that all on her own, I made the mistake of turning free will back on..he rejected her...which suprised me.
He was into the flirting though..
I totally adore VJ:
L with Teen Meggie and YA Meggie, that was pretty funny..Teen Meggie was mad at him for cheating on her with YA Meggie..Deleted that YA Meggie shortly after and aged up teen Meggie.
With Teen Meggie, I like her much better than YA Meggie..
Decided to do a bit of Bin cleaning today...I threw some of my me made single guys into the nearest house for a look over to see if I wanted to cull them. The nearest house was Jared and Connor's, got them all plopped on the couch for the debating...
Left on couch..Chase: Vampire, used him in a hands off save...Staying!
Middle on Couch: Bradford, not bad looking but not sure if he's too generic..
Right on Couch: Bart (what was I smoking that day??), not sure of his traits but he's highly amusing...staying!
********************************
Elliot: going...just don't like the look of him, never used him..
Connor gave me these looks and I near about died laughing, he's so dang perfect with the looks sometimes! I told him he's forever safe. ..(though I should delete him for letting his watch show like that, I forgot to take it off him!)
So 2 down about 30 more to go through...
*****************
Guys who are totally safe:

VJ...That's your MOM!!
Bad bad L!! Eve is not for you..
Fish floating around with no water in sight!
Beautiful Jared:
J and C chess match:
Stretch ice cream truck!
driverless limo!!
Aged Miraj up poor kid needed a little tweaking, he is nowhere as adorable as VJ when he ages up though he isn't such an a*ss either!
This save is another just for fun one when I don't feel like playing story stuff. The goal of this save is to collect one of each type of ghost...
I decided to make Joe my ghost gravestone collector (because I missed him!):
I originally had him in IP as there are some scuba ghosts I wanted, but IP is a horrible world and was laggggggy none of my other worlds lag at all not matter how much I stuff them! So after 5 ghosts I deleted the save and moved him to ST, no lag at all, I will have to tackle IP at some point for the diving ghosts.
Ricardo was first with Starvation, I only got one picture of him probably because if there is a Sim I want to "get rid of" starvation is my method of choice...been there done that a billion times.
Dying by fire is horrible, not only is it near impossible if the Sim is not literally boxed in but it takes so dang long and they suffer a lot!
Poor Suzuki...I felt bad for him.
Joe...you're twisted..not only thinking about cooking right after poor Suzki got char broiled in a kitchen fire, but also having a pillow fight right after a death!
Death by electrocution was much easier...pee on the floor, have a technophobe break the TV, presto! Len is toast...
Needed a victim for death by old age, didn't want to age anyone up so had to find an elder, Eleanor fit the bill and she likes cookies!
She and Joe got hearts but I was preoccupied with getting Emma dog off my mouse so I missed getting a picture of it. After this look from Joe (and his wish to kiss her!) I decided to make her last moments enjoyable.
Actually I guess I didn't miss it as it doesn't show the attracted to hearts in the panel so I guess they didn't get hearts...they still flirted like crazy.
They actually didn't need any help, Joe seemed smitten!
"Flowers for my lady.."
Sure she looks like his grandma but they were adorable together...
One last loving gaze in her eyes...
and her time is up...
Poor Joe...
Moved him the the next house (in the rain in his undies) I needed him to go to this house as, I need to swipe Griffin Alto for a scene in Misunderstood. Poor Joe cried for Eleanor a LOT!!
Dude is channeling Connor! (mostly the hair but he has that Connor-ness about him too somehow..)
Moved in Laurita and her family for some more ghosty fun..Griffin was struck with her, too bad she'll be gone in a few minutes..
First to go was Penelope, or so I thought...death by Murphy Bed is mighty difficult!! Had three Sims try for many many multiple tries none died, they did get squashed but not dead.
This is Alastair, he was visiting, he got added to the family and joined in the deadly fun...
Gave up on the murphy bed for awhile and shipped Penelope outside for a swim...
It's Veeery hard to kill sims in pools too, they love climbing out, even though her energy was zipped down to red she climbed out four times before I built walls all around the pool..(deleted them before screenshots were taken):
Next up was death by jellybean plant (one of my favorite as I love the ghost!) Martin volunteered and started eating...
Took him into CAS for a closer look and to put new glasses on him..Aged him up to YA to get a better look, he's cute and I binned him immediately (he may need a few tiny tweaks when I do add him to Misunderstood).
He is still a teen here, I wasn't sure if a teen could die from jellybeans.
One of then got him violently ill...poor guy!
The answer is yes teens can die from the jellybean plant (it took about 40 jellybeans to kill the poor boy off!)
Classy boy, I love it when they don't beg!
Decided to can the murphy bed idea and installed a vending machine, it was MUCH more effective only took 5 shakes, and the ghosts for vending machine and murphy bed are the same.
Sorry Alastair..
Grim is a horrible horrible guy!!
What a 🐸🐸🐸🐸!! (he dumped the soda out after this but I was laughing so hard I forgot to get a picture).
Laurita was next I had her rant about death, since both her kids were killed (oops! ) I thought it fitting.
First time is just a warning, Grim lets your Sim live...IF they don't rant about death again.
Hearts! but don't get too attached Griffin!
She's at it again...
Another classy ending...
Saved Joe and Griffin to the library and moved them to my Misunderstood save, Joe will not know his family so it's okay. Joe has 8 ghosts so far will work on more this weekend. Joe is a Jared clone aged up to Adult, you can see he still has Jared's traits by how well he and Griffin are getting along!
******************************************
Today I was planning on gathering more ghosts but after going back to IP I was so flustered I canned the idea, killing scuba divers is HARD!
Couldn't get her run out of air even with free will off, she would always get to the surface. Even Mister Sharky didn't want her!
So I played with my all teen house (The Keaton's)
I aged Marty down right away, Justine had to wait till after the kiddo was born and planted another 5 teens in the house:
Marty and Liam (alien):
Jude (Connor tweaked a bit from Secret Obsession...he was in one scene) he is a witch:
Paul a plant Sim (this is Shea from Uni, but I have Shea tweaked differently and saved as a YA in my bin so this one had to be another name):
Jan Lee (werewolf) on the bus with Paul and Liam:
LOL!!
What a pair of gloomy gus's!
YA Justine having baby Michael:
Teen Justine with Michael:
Jan Lee went right out and grabbed Michael as soon as I aged him up:
I adore Jude (though he has been made over completely as a YA):
My routing testers moved in to the new build..too bad all they wanted to do was play in the pool!
Still not done but getting close, very sparingly furnished at this point.
Bottom floor, kitchen, dining room and TV area:
Second floor: a lovely blank slate:
3rd floor 2 bedrooms:
Jared's room has a double high ceiling..
Did a green roof like I did on L's Spa..(a simpler version)
Jared braving the huge scary pool slide..
He much prefers the floaty...
*******************************
From yesterday:
This poor sweet little doggie was down by the beach, she was a stray, I semi ignored her till I saw she had fleas then I had to add the poor thing to the teen household, so now Connor has a dog.
She is clean and spoiled rotten now, I named her Ginger.
Just random stuff, I was Sim watching a lot today.
I had to have Josh go over and gift those large space rocks to Connor...
Look at that clueless smile...he has no idea of the alien magnet he becomes as a YA!
The cop and the criminal...I have to have Claire quit that job!
Claire and Richie's dreams are pretty fishy..ba dump bump!
Rafael was cooking breakfast while Claire got the mail in her undies..
Thanks a lot Rafael...
He showed up after it was put out...thanks buddy.
Richie and Rafael will always be in my saves from now on.
Poor dead fishie...Connor scooping one out of Jared's fish tank.
C and J having a water balloon fight..
Spotted Bryce in the background..
He makes me want to age up his dad again! L is only a teen in this save and might see his son every day in school and not even know it.
Oops...YA Connor...
Double Oops!! YA Jared! I want this as a double free town so they will have to go.
Dylan had a bad day at school it seems.
Connor...you're doing it wrong!
AppleSauce in the background..
Jared and Connor making friends with AppleSauce:
Got a pop up that the Frio house was being robbed...
Also got a visit from an Alien, I added him to the household, he can be a butler type helper..
First job Probe Robbie!!
Don't remember what this is called but it looks cool!
Sent the boys and Caroline over to the gym, the boys learned MA..(I love mikezumi's sparring pictures and thought it would be nice to have some of the boys).
OWIE!!
Sent alien guy (his name is just wacky, I may name him Fred) over to the gym to meet the family.
Made over:
Sparring:
Connor's face
Connor leveled up quicker than Paulo and Jared: (Bryce in the background again!)
Sent Caroline over to befriend him..(no hearts)
They talked up to friends...Caroline seems to be infatuated..(Um, remember your boyfriend Bert Caroline??)
When my brain needs a break from Misunderstood I'm going to be playing Josh, he is going to be living off the grid and trying his hand at being a farmer. He will try to make a living selling the wares from his garden/animals. Personally I think he snapped something in his brain when he witnessed the death (twice) of his beloved girlfriend Sharon...
His house has a fridge but lets say his windmill makes enough electricity to run it.
'An outhouse are you kidding??' he seems to be thinking...
******************************************
The farm before I added more landscaping (trees):
Checking the paper for a horse to adopt..
Welcome Applesauce (yes I named him ) he is elderly but a sweet beginner horse for Josh.
Why is it that when you adopt a baby the social worker just dumps it in your house, no "Hi nice to meet you" handshake or nothing, with a horse they find your Sim and give a handshake.
I tweaked Applesauce a little gave him brown eyes and a lovely long mane and tail.
Josh getting hay for Applesauce, I'm thinking he needs to do that shirtless next time.
Josh has a lot to learn about his cows...he's feeding them chocolate! That isn't how chocolate milk is made dummy..
I will probably name her MooMoo or something equally stupid.
Josh collecting eggs..and feeding the chickies.
They look like Rhode Island Reds which is what we had when I lived on the farm.
Inside his house, all candles and fireplace-no electricity, the windmill runs the fridge but that is all.
Decided to make Josh's life a bit more challenging, am now doing at 4x4, he can make money from his garden or collecting as I took away both his cows and chickens. I decided to leave AppleSauce as he can't make money off him and he was autonomously riding him, it would break my heart to get rid of his sweet horsie.
He is down to $200.00 for bills but has to get up to $10,000 for his first upgrade (he will get an addition plus a bathroom he can buy chickens or cows when he can afford them) he will need the upgrade after that for another addition plus electricity. Goal is nine upgrades as per normal.
Inside his 4x4 house.
I had that face my first time on a horse as an adult, when I was a kid I loved riding..(got stepped on once though...horses are Heavy!!)
He really loves riding AppleSauce in his long johns...
Brushing AppleSauce:
Best Buds:
Learning fishing, it takes forever if you don't take the class!
Hope to kingdom come he doesn't take after Connor with the abductions and alien kids!! He has 2 large space rocks and 3 tiny: I don't want him to sell them I want him to learn MA and smash them, like @Mikezumi 's Jordan king of the space rock smashers even as a ghost!
Picking $600 simoleons! Love Cosmos...
Planting a few seeds, he has two apple tree seeds, one lettuce, one tomato, I'm going to have him take the gardening class, yes it will take a chunk of his money but I know he'll walk out of the class with at least 5 harder to find seeds.
Going out to see AppleSauce in the morning.
Picked some lettuce used one for the garden the rest will be food for AppleSauce.
Being an animal lover he always goes riding autonomously, he's up to level 2 with no prompting at all from me.
LOL!! That determined yet "Dang, I'm gonna fall" face.
So graceful....
Ouch!!
The second large space rock...his house is up by the falls and he will most likely get one every other day or so.
The dang bills! Luckily they were only a bit over $100.00
A wild horse I edited the other day, usually I make them unusual colors, there is a green one running around somewhere..
I took this chickie who is available in the bin, aged her up to YA gender switched her and tweaked a bit:
Before:
Okay...I tweaked the ever loving out of him!
After: His name is Logan:
His first look, then I decided I hated it...
I then decided I needed a no glasses no facial hair rule...
Then I decided that was a stupid rule....!!
I couldn't have yet another single male running about my save so...
I again used bin girl and tweaked a lot less, but still a totally different Sim from her original, Her name is Leanna:
I think she's pretty cute:
Getting rid of the double Logan, who had the hots for the other Logan... (I threw him into The Monotone before I decided I want a couple instead of a single male).
I did get more pictures of Lotta's family, I'll most likely obliterate them not thrilled with any of them they all need major tweaking..
No wonder I couldn't remember their names I didn't name them!
Mom and Dad...
Lotta and "hot sister" dressed in horrible random clothes..
little brother making that fat lip I hate...
Bryce (L and Meggie's son)..
Hmmmmm, interesting...(Claire meeting Bryce)
Richie:
Tweaking Xander a bit, he's cute but needed a bit of TLC...I wanted him to resemble Joe (his father) a bit more.
Everyone you meet Claire?? She is his boss upon opening a new SV save so they had to meet at some point, he's about 19 here.
Thornton needs to age up very soon...poor boy obviously hates school!
Got a notice Connor was coming home with Simon..
They got hearts for each other..(Simon is in a relationship with Dylan) the gayness always spreads in my towns, guys start leaping out of the closet! Not Connor though, he and Jared will never have same se*x relationships.
Separated them so Simon wouldn't start flirting..
Simon's parents..Isabelle and Edward
Adore their younger adult selves, they are normally elderly in my saves.
Pearl being goofy!
Beautiful boys (L and Jared):
Belle on her bike...with attitude!
Simon is pretty good at "the Connor stare"
Two of my oldest couples...Dylan and Simon (when Penny is not in my save otherwise it's Dylan and Penny and Simon and Summer):
Belle (Simon's sister) and Jamie (Dylan's brother):
I've always hated that vampires don't dream, but daydreaming is close enough..
Jared that is Pearl's Dad!! You are not making a good impression...
I love Pearl's parents..
This cracked me up, Becky's ghost strolled in and boy did L let her have it! I keep forgetting Light and Becky's gravestones are in the backyard.
Speak of the devil!
Aged up Light for a smooch...for old times sake (even though it is the wrong Light )
Yikes, that look...
L reigning king of the "I'm going to cry in about 5 seconds" look...
Light poofed out after he got himself bread and Jam and took one bite..the two ghosts in this save are not controllable.
Another Avoidance day..been awake since 1:30 this morning *tired* so I needed something brainless...built a house! Wanted one on top of a koi pond.
It was originally built on a 40x40 moved it to a 50x50 for more landscaping options.
Had to rip apart and redo the whole kitchen as there were major routing issues, it was from the land below the foundation being so uneven, though I didn't know that till I ripped the floor out....like I said I'm really tired (I should have figured it out just by going down a level)..
Good thing I always do routing testing.
"Old kitchen"
"new kitchen"
(pardon half nekked Jared)
Some inside views...it is nowhere near finished, I have tons of furnishing to do..
View from second balcony..
A few more outside views..It will get more windows I was just sick of building.
Connor and Jared are parked there until I can make sure there are no more routing issues.
Extra stuff..
The hot air balloon...the "people" in it are flat!
Josh...ex "rock star" (in a second class band), he never wanted to grow up so I decided to make him grow up and threw him in a house with 4 toddlers..in all fairness to him I gave him family oriented and nurturing.
His charges...Toddlers of Dylan, Belle, Simon and Jamie..they were in my bin from a child only save I was messing with a while back which I may go back to, it was in the same house as this save.
Jamie and Belle, merged right from the beginning (one of my "Always" pairs in every save...they are always together).
I did get to play for a bit and am setting up a story that will directly follow Misunderstood (Claire and Jared will be a big presence), it will concentrate on Christopher Steel and his family. There is a Donnovan Steel in Lucky Palms who "could be" (according to his bio) be related to Chris...so he is now his brother, I also swiped his girlfriend Marisol and made parents for Donnovan and Chris.
All have had tiny makeovers..
Christopher:
Chris, Donnovan and Marisol:
Chris and Donnovan's parents, Christine and Daniel:
The whole family will be living together so Chris's house got some expanded space:
The house before:
I still have some work to do on it but it's almost done..
This is size comparison with the original roof..
Added a pool but it will most likely not stay rectangular..
Chris is awesome!
As much as I (and my SS) just wanted to hang out and chat with Chris all day..
as we are both a bit smitten with him...he doesn't play into the story until after Misunderstood offically ends (Claire pregnant, Connor and Jared living across the street from her), I will be continuing the story though just to see what happens to Jared and Claire and possibly Connor for 5 or so years (maybe more who knows) after.
I actually made some great progress on the story and will have a new update for the story section tomorrow..introducing a new character..well not new but new to the story.

The answer is yes teens can die from the jellybean plant (it took about 40 jellybeans to kill the poor boy off!)
Classy boy, I love it when they don't beg!
Decided to can the murphy bed idea and installed a vending machine, it was MUCH more effective only took 5 shakes, and the ghosts for vending machine and murphy bed are the same.
Sorry Alastair..
Grim is a horrible horrible guy!!
What a 🐸🐸🐸🐸!! (he dumped the soda out after this but I was laughing so hard I forgot to get a picture).
Laurita was next I had her rant about death, since both her kids were killed (oops!
First time is just a warning, Grim lets your Sim live...IF they don't rant about death again.
Hearts! but don't get too attached Griffin!
She's at it again...
Another classy ending...
Saved Joe and Griffin to the library and moved them to my Misunderstood save, Joe will not know his family so it's okay. Joe has 8 ghosts so far will work on more this weekend. Joe is a Jared clone aged up to Adult, you can see he still has Jared's traits by how well he and Griffin are getting along!
******************************************
Today I was planning on gathering more ghosts but after going back to IP I was so flustered I canned the idea, killing scuba divers is HARD!
Couldn't get her run out of air even with free will off, she would always get to the surface. Even Mister Sharky didn't want her!
So I played with my all teen house (The Keaton's)
I aged Marty down right away, Justine had to wait till after the kiddo was born and planted another 5 teens in the house:
Marty and Liam (alien):
Jude (Connor tweaked a bit from Secret Obsession...he was in one scene) he is a witch:
Paul a plant Sim (this is Shea from Uni, but I have Shea tweaked differently and saved as a YA in my bin so this one had to be another name):
Jan Lee (werewolf) on the bus with Paul and Liam:
LOL!!
What a pair of gloomy gus's!
YA Justine having baby Michael:
Teen Justine with Michael:
Jan Lee went right out and grabbed Michael as soon as I aged him up:
I adore Jude (though he has been made over completely as a YA):
Sleepy time:
Rosie (vampire) with Michael:
Jan Lee putting Michael to bed:
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Not story realted but did make another vampire...he's so girly!!
Changed his lip color (yes lipstick.) butched him up about 1/10 of a percent..
Moved him into my vampire household..He met a bunch of my other Sims when I shipped them all down to the park.
Met Meggie first...no hearts (though he did get a wish to kiss her later in the day!)
Josh was there, wearing only shorts, no shirt no shoes.
Meeting Elan..
I still have to ditch YA Jared and Connor...Jared is begging for it!!
Whatttt?? I was doing something very nice for Connor for the story and he repays me by throwing the stare. Everyone was in a surly mood!!
Got it from L today too...
L, Light and Lee...
Widdle bitty VJ...(love Wolfy Thornton in the background..and still scorched Dylan..take a shower dude!!)
Elan..
Elan is quite the athlete..
Was watching Connor chat with Belle and spotted the shadow!!
Crud!!
Luckily it was just Meggie borrowing Elan's "car" I totally forgot they were living together!
Gunther's work outfit, business casual is getting way too casual!!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Still not done but getting close, very sparingly furnished at this point.
Bottom floor, kitchen, dining room and TV area:
Second floor: a lovely blank slate:
3rd floor 2 bedrooms:
Jared's room has a double high ceiling..
Did a green roof like I did on L's Spa..(a simpler version)
Jared braving the huge scary pool slide..
He much prefers the floaty...
*******************************
From yesterday:
This poor sweet little doggie was down by the beach, she was a stray, I semi ignored her till I saw she had fleas then I had to add the poor thing to the teen household, so now Connor has a dog.
She is clean and spoiled rotten now, I named her Ginger.
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I had to have Josh go over and gift those large space rocks to Connor...
Look at that clueless smile...he has no idea of the alien magnet he becomes as a YA!
The cop and the criminal...I have to have Claire quit that job!
Claire and Richie's dreams are pretty fishy..ba dump bump!
Rafael was cooking breakfast while Claire got the mail in her undies..
Thanks a lot Rafael...
He showed up after it was put out...thanks buddy.
Richie and Rafael will always be in my saves from now on.
Poor dead fishie...Connor scooping one out of Jared's fish tank.
C and J having a water balloon fight..
Spotted Bryce in the background..
He makes me want to age up his dad again! L is only a teen in this save and might see his son every day in school and not even know it.
Oops...YA Connor...
Double Oops!! YA Jared! I want this as a double free town so they will have to go.
Dylan had a bad day at school it seems.
Connor...you're doing it wrong!
AppleSauce in the background..
Jared and Connor making friends with AppleSauce:
Got a pop up that the Frio house was being robbed...
Also got a visit from an Alien, I added him to the household, he can be a butler type helper..
First job Probe Robbie!!
Don't remember what this is called but it looks cool!
Sent the boys and Caroline over to the gym, the boys learned MA..(I love mikezumi's sparring pictures and thought it would be nice to have some of the boys).
OWIE!!
Sent alien guy (his name is just wacky, I may name him Fred) over to the gym to meet the family.
Made over:
Sparring:
Connor's face
Connor leveled up quicker than Paulo and Jared: (Bryce in the background again!)
Sent Caroline over to befriend him..(no hearts)
They talked up to friends...Caroline seems to be infatuated..(Um, remember your boyfriend Bert Caroline??)
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
His house has a fridge but lets say his windmill makes enough electricity to run it.
'An outhouse are you kidding??' he seems to be thinking...
******************************************
The farm before I added more landscaping (trees):
Checking the paper for a horse to adopt..
Welcome Applesauce (yes I named him
Why is it that when you adopt a baby the social worker just dumps it in your house, no "Hi nice to meet you" handshake or nothing, with a horse they find your Sim and give a handshake.
I tweaked Applesauce a little gave him brown eyes and a lovely long mane and tail.
Josh getting hay for Applesauce, I'm thinking he needs to do that shirtless next time.
Josh has a lot to learn about his cows...he's feeding them chocolate! That isn't how chocolate milk is made dummy..
I will probably name her MooMoo or something equally stupid.
Josh collecting eggs..and feeding the chickies.
They look like Rhode Island Reds which is what we had when I lived on the farm.
Inside his house, all candles and fireplace-no electricity, the windmill runs the fridge but that is all.
The stove is a wood stove.
Yummy mac and cheese! I want some...
Brush the pearly whites...(stalker view)
View of the kitchen:
That looks so cozy!
Night night..
More house views..
**********************************************************
Decided to make Josh's life a bit more challenging, am now doing at 4x4, he can make money from his garden or collecting as I took away both his cows and chickens. I decided to leave AppleSauce as he can't make money off him and he was autonomously riding him, it would break my heart to get rid of his sweet horsie.
He is down to $200.00 for bills but has to get up to $10,000 for his first upgrade (he will get an addition plus a bathroom he can buy chickens or cows when he can afford them) he will need the upgrade after that for another addition plus electricity. Goal is nine upgrades as per normal.
Inside his 4x4 house.
I had that face my first time on a horse as an adult, when I was a kid I loved riding..(got stepped on once though...horses are Heavy!!)
********************************************************
Josh on the Farm 4x4 day 2:
He really loves riding AppleSauce in his long johns...
Brushing AppleSauce:
Best Buds:
Learning fishing, it takes forever if you don't take the class!
Hope to kingdom come he doesn't take after Connor with the abductions and alien kids!! He has 2 large space rocks and 3 tiny: I don't want him to sell them I want him to learn MA and smash them, like @Mikezumi 's Jordan king of the space rock smashers even as a ghost!
Picking $600 simoleons! Love Cosmos...
Planting a few seeds, he has two apple tree seeds, one lettuce, one tomato, I'm going to have him take the gardening class, yes it will take a chunk of his money but I know he'll walk out of the class with at least 5 harder to find seeds.
Going out to see AppleSauce in the morning.
Picked some lettuce used one for the garden the rest will be food for AppleSauce.
Being an animal lover he always goes riding autonomously, he's up to level 2 with no prompting at all from me.
LOL!! That determined yet "Dang, I'm gonna fall" face.
So graceful....
Ouch!!
The second large space rock...his house is up by the falls and he will most likely get one every other day or so.
The dang bills! Luckily they were only a bit over $100.00
A wild horse I edited the other day, usually I make them unusual colors, there is a green one running around somewhere..
*****************************************************
Just a couple from a short play session this afternoon:
Saw teen Connor (am playing Josh in my Misunderstood save), Josh needs to make friends so...
@emorrill , Saw Meggie in the park, look what she had on!
Had Josh head over, never expecting hearts as they have no traits in common and he has zero charisma...
But they got them!
Hey Meggie your son is in the background!! Had Josh go over and do a friendly intro with Bryce...
Oh *cr*ap!!*
Poor AppleSauce was in the red, I couldn't figure why until I saw his moodlets, poor thing was scared to death of the scarecrow!
Object deleted the little bugger...no scaring my horsie.
Gone!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I took this chickie who is available in the bin, aged her up to YA gender switched her and tweaked a bit:
Before:
Okay...I tweaked the ever loving out of him!
After: His name is Logan:
His first look, then I decided I hated it...
I then decided I needed a no glasses no facial hair rule...
Then I decided that was a stupid rule....!!
I couldn't have yet another single male running about my save so...
I again used bin girl and tweaked a lot less, but still a totally different Sim from her original, Her name is Leanna:
I think she's pretty cute:
Getting rid of the double Logan, who had the hots for the other Logan...
Typical Sim romance...0 to Married in 53 seconds!
Happily ever after...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I did get more pictures of Lotta's family, I'll most likely obliterate them not thrilled with any of them they all need major tweaking..
No wonder I couldn't remember their names I didn't name them!
Mom and Dad...
Lotta and "hot sister" dressed in horrible random clothes..
little brother making that fat lip I hate...
Bryce (L and Meggie's son)..
Hmmmmm, interesting...(Claire meeting Bryce)
Richie:
Tweaking Xander a bit, he's cute but needed a bit of TLC...I wanted him to resemble Joe (his father) a bit more.
Everyone you meet Claire?? She is his boss upon opening a new SV save so they had to meet at some point, he's about 19 here.
Thornton needs to age up very soon...poor boy obviously hates school!
Got a notice Connor was coming home with Simon..
They got hearts for each other..(Simon is in a relationship with Dylan) the gayness always spreads in my towns, guys start leaping out of the closet! Not Connor though, he and Jared will never have same se*x relationships.
Separated them so Simon wouldn't start flirting..
Simon's parents..Isabelle and Edward
Adore their younger adult selves, they are normally elderly in my saves.
Pearl being goofy!
Beautiful boys (L and Jared):
Belle on her bike...with attitude!
Simon is pretty good at "the Connor stare"
Two of my oldest couples...Dylan and Simon (when Penny is not in my save otherwise it's Dylan and Penny and Simon and Summer):
Belle (Simon's sister) and Jamie (Dylan's brother):
I've always hated that vampires don't dream, but daydreaming is close enough..
Jared that is Pearl's Dad!! You are not making a good impression...
I love Pearl's parents..
This cracked me up, Becky's ghost strolled in and boy did L let her have it! I keep forgetting Light and Becky's gravestones are in the backyard.
Speak of the devil!
Aged up Light for a smooch...for old times sake (even though it is the wrong Light
Yikes, that look...
L reigning king of the "I'm going to cry in about 5 seconds" look...
Light poofed out after he got himself bread and Jam and took one bite..the two ghosts in this save are not controllable.
Their house now located in SV..
Sorry, that got a bit long...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
It was originally built on a 40x40 moved it to a 50x50 for more landscaping options.
Had to rip apart and redo the whole kitchen as there were major routing issues, it was from the land below the foundation being so uneven, though I didn't know that till I ripped the floor out....like I said I'm really tired (I should have figured it out just by going down a level)..
Good thing I always do routing testing.
"Old kitchen"
"new kitchen"
(pardon half nekked Jared)
Some inside views...it is nowhere near finished, I have tons of furnishing to do..
View from second balcony..
A few more outside views..It will get more windows I was just sick of building.
Connor and Jared are parked there until I can make sure there are no more routing issues.
Extra stuff..
The hot air balloon...the "people" in it are flat!
Josh...ex "rock star" (in a second class band), he never wanted to grow up so I decided to make him grow up and threw him in a house with 4 toddlers..in all fairness to him I gave him family oriented and nurturing.
His charges...Toddlers of Dylan, Belle, Simon and Jamie..they were in my bin from a child only save I was messing with a while back which I may go back to, it was in the same house as this save.
Jamie and Belle, merged right from the beginning (one of my "Always" pairs in every save...they are always together).
nap time!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
All have had tiny makeovers..
Christopher:
Chris, Donnovan and Marisol:
Chris and Donnovan's parents, Christine and Daniel:
The whole family will be living together so Chris's house got some expanded space:
The house before:
I still have some work to do on it but it's almost done..
This is size comparison with the original roof..
Added a pool but it will most likely not stay rectangular..
Chris is awesome!
As much as I (and my SS) just wanted to hang out and chat with Chris all day..
as we are both a bit smitten with him...he doesn't play into the story until after Misunderstood offically ends (Claire pregnant, Connor and Jared living across the street from her), I will be continuing the story though just to see what happens to Jared and Claire and possibly Connor for 5 or so years (maybe more who knows) after.
I actually made some great progress on the story and will have a new update for the story section tomorrow..introducing a new character..well not new but new to the story.
sneak peek:
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
