I'm all caught up now. Sorry I couldn't write you any comments here until now. You seem to be getting a lot more ghosts now. It must be the game compensating for the small household size. Lachie looks a little more serious as an adult but he's still got the same evil and cheeky smirk as always. I thought it was cute that him and Alvin kissed and complimented appearances straight after. Alpin looks nice grown up too. You're the expert at picking out genetics but I see a lot of Lachie in him. Mikezumi has a nice house. I felt a bit sad for her eating all by herself. Yes, she should get her sheets cleaned
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments I agree about the ghost activity. There is a lot of Lachie in Alpin. Can't be completely sure without checking the slider positions but I think the only thing he got from Alvin was the mouth.
The family tree starting from Lachie.
Let's see if I can remember the names of the founders and heirs
Jordan and John
Sam and Beathan
Fife and Brett
Niall and Cain
Lachie and Alvin
Thanks @ZhakiraP I have already picked an heir but it might be moot because the save is getting a little long in the tooth and not running as well as it could be. I could port the family to a new save but I am a completionist where family trees are concerned and porting the whole town after this many generations would be a big job!
@Mikezumi that´s a shame. But it happens. And on that note, "running well" is a concept I haven´t experienced in long time when it comes to the sims. I spend at least half of my simming time fixing worlds, moving sims and restoring family ties
@Silverofdreamse30 Thank you
I just looked at every hair at Ifcasims (67 pages) and couldn't find the hair. I will check the thumbnail when I am in-game again and see if I can work out where the hair comes from or who made it.
@ZhakiraP Sorry that your game gives you so much trouble Of course, the game is worth it
@meerkattime Thank you Maggie got her beautiful eyes from Rory The family tree looks more impressive when I use Jordan as the starting point but it takes several screen captures to show it all. The next time my sims travel I will share the whole family tree as the game is more co-operative to being minimized so I can go between it and Paint.
@Mikezumi I think Maggie is a lovely teen! I don't know if she's sad actually, but she does look like she's thinking about something serious. ...Fun exploring the family tree too. Familiar faces. ...Too bad the save is beginning to bog down, but you did manage to get in several generations. Very cool.
I've been following this thread/game for a while now, just quietly lurking. I wanted to jump in and say I enjoy the commentary very much. I also had to go out and find some of the CC you use. ;)
Also want to note that Elspet, to me, resembled a young Nicole Kidman. Every time you shared a shot of her, I thought that. If you were to upload her, I'd quite like to have her in my game, if that's not too much trouble.
@lanlyn Thanks for the lovely comments It has been a lot of fun playing this family and I did get a few generations in, so all is good Hopefully it will go it a bit longer but, if it doesn't, I have lots of sims to play and I would also like to test drive my new sims
@MacGuffin Thanks for following my family I am pretty picky with my CC so you wouldn't go too far wrong using the same If you ever have any specific questions about the CC I use, feel free to ask
To be truthful, I don't like to share my sims but you are in luck with Elspet as her file is already uploaded and I am generally not as stingy with my females unless they are clones of my favourite males. I will PM you the link for her sim file. I hope you enjoy her
I had a lot of ghostly visitors in my last session Beathan, Fife and Sam arrived before I closed my game and Brett and Jordan arrived after I loaded my save
Fife and Beathan were in the boys' room on loading
Fife and Sam chatting
Brett arrived a little later
Beathan skinny dipped
Sam played the bass
Sam and Beathan chatted. Sam said something that upset Beathan but they got over it He probably complained about art
Jordan arrived as the sun was rising.
The family enjoyed waffles for Saturday breakfast
I paused just as Sam was about to haunt the incense holder
Carson fed the chickens and harvested the eggs. He had no waking wishes. Alvin was on his way to the computer to enrol Alpin in an after school activity. He had rolled the wish when Alpin aged up.
Lachie's waking wish was to water the plants. I let him water one plant to get his wish then had him tend the plants. Alpin's waking wish was to paint but I had him help his dad in the hope that it would trigger a wish to level up.
Carson pulled out his violin after tending the chickens
Jordan supervised the gardening
Lachie and Alvin flirted when they were done
Because Jordan arrived so late, he was there long after the others left.
Alvin and Lachie had their first woohoo for the day. I lost count of how many times they woohooed but it was a particularly active day
Lachie got his waking wish
When Carson interrupted Lachie and Alvin's flirting, I had Alvin teach Alpin to drive
When I checked on Lachie and Carson they were playing catch I could see sims at the fishing hole across the street and recognized Kenna so I went to investigate.
Kenna was there with her kids, Mindy and Jamison
Mindy was due to age up to YA that night. She looks mostly like Kenna.
Jamison seems to favour his dad, Lonnie
One driving skill point down!
Another driving skill point and no hiccups
Alpin got his licence
While Alvin and Alpin were on their way home, I invited Kenna and her family over. Carson and Lachie were chatting when I checked on them.
Lonnie arrived shortly after his family. He was at home alone.
Alpin chatted with his aunt
Jamieson chatted with Carson Lachie and Alvin were working their way up to another woohoo
Kenna reached level 6 while playing the drums
Alpin chatted with his cousin, Mindy
Carson joined their conversation while Jamison did his homework.
I couldn't see Lonnie so I zoomed out and found him fishing in the family pond.
This is not the same woohoo that they were working up to when Kenna and family arrived
Not sure why everyone insists on tutoring in this game! I need to tune it out!
awwwww Jamison hugged Carson
To stop Lachie from woohooing again, I had him go outside to talk to his nephew.
And sent Alvin to talk to his brother.
Alpin finally pulled out his violin
Jamison and Mindy played video games
So much for trying to stop these two!
The family enjoyed Kenna's favourite, cheesesteak, for dinner
Poor Jamison couldn't get to the dishwasher I sent the family home when the dishes were done because I didn't want Mindy to miss her birthday.
Carson started jamming on the drums so I had Alpin join him
Alvin and Lachie were at it again! I am surprised they wandered so far from the house!
They watched the stars after woohoo
Alvin had a wish to play a game with Carson so I sent Lachie inside to replace the cheesesteak they had eaten for dinner.
Cain was the first to arrive
Brett arrived just before I closed my game
Thank you for looking after the hair, Im not sure if its
one I already have or a similar looking one hehe.
Nice to see Cain visiting, I have followed your story so
long so I remember alot of the older sims.
Nice with family dinner and later some woohoing, hope
they had a good time watching the stars.
@Mikezumi Are they sims or are they rabbits?
It´s nice to see your saver is still working, the extended family looks nice and that´s a very colorful shirt Kenna (?) is wearing. It suits her.
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks for the lovely comments Because I took a break from the save it took me a while to remember all the dead family but I remember them now and how lovely they were to play
I looked at the thumbnail of the hair and discovered that it was a Cazy hair but I need to work out which one it is.
@meerkattime Thanks for the lovely comments There have been some lovely paintings in this save but the very best ones were in my 5x5 save I did a little while ago.
Yeah, ghosts seem to stay for a set time so if they come late they leave late.
I am enjoying Alpin but I can't wait for Carson to age up to teen to see what he looks like
@ZhakiraP Thank you I think they may be part rabbit The save is getting very sluggish and takes a long time to load but it is still going so I am happy
The pattern on Kenna's top was made by a friend of mine and is on the exchange. Her usename is RockChick and she has some really beautiful patterns.
@Mikezumi I think your house is like a Ghost Motel. Ghosts check in, but they don't check out! (Paraphrased Roach Motel commercial) ...Cute pic of Carson playing his violin. ...That ghost magnet rocking chair! So funny. ...Nice seeing Kenna again. And Mindy makes a beautiful YA. ...Congrats to Alpin for getting his Driver's License. ...Great pic of Kenna playing the drums. ...Wonder where your sims got their urge to tutor all the time? I've also noticed that sims in some saves tend to favor certain activities. ...Darling shot of Jamison hugging Carson. ...Glad Alpin finally remembered his violin. ...Loved that pic of Jamison getting stuck in the middle of flower gifting!
Thanks for the lovely comments @lanlyn I think this was the most ghosts I have had in one night! There have been a few occasions when I have had four and it looked like it was to be four again but then Jordan showed up
My sims don't usually use the rocking chair so I think it has something to do with the ghosts arriving in such a poor state. I always max their motives when they arrive but they have already started heading for the chair when I do it.
I suppose the tutoring was because Alpin is a genius although not all my geniuses do it. It's true that some saves seem to favour certain activities but I have found that playing catch happens in all of them

Happy birthday to Alpin , he looks great
as a teen.
I forgot to say this in my other psot hehe

Maggie looks gorgeous, which hairstyle is that she are using its
gorgeous.
Looks similar to one I love to use aswell.
I just looked at every hair at Ifcasims (67 pages) and couldn't find the hair. I will check the thumbnail when I am in-game again and see if I can work out where the hair comes from or who made it.
