    I spent way too much time in my game decorating for Winterfest in my two main households (I rotate between them and a few others, same save)

    They are kinda spoilers for my story, but eh, I wanna show them!

    Link to my story page (Will update sometime today or tomorrow): https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/988497/lyries-simming-stories#latest

    This is my Stone Family.
    51485873179_41a7a46f60_k.jpg

    This is my Adler Family
    51484339187_f7132e31e3_k.jpg

    Incase anyone wants a brief recap, I have some highlights below.

    Okay now for the recap, I have two main families, they used to be in different saves but now are in the same one as the two girl sims have become friends.

    Highlights for Adlers
    -As teens Aubree Adler and Declan Eos became parents to Hazel Adler.
    50197136508_75df28be0b_h.jpg

    -Aubree’s parents Nadia (with the bun) and Reed (blonde) allowed Dec (in the hat) to move in and help but it was quite the turmoil between Nadia and Aubree (long brunette) on how to care for Hazel (toddler) etc they fought often.
    50197174518_a11b93a4b2_h.jpg

    Mom and daughter frequent fights
    50197175998_72b8910770_h.jpg
    50197991072_ed762085c5_h.jpg

    They had a huge support group of friends and family the Adler was known for parties (Mostly Aubree because of her party animal ways).
    50926961063_d8cec97532_h.jpg

    -As teens do, they thought the best thing to do to get their independence was to flee, so Aubree and Declan bought a trailer with some very sketchy methods. Once Nadia and Reed were gone on an anniversary cruise, the two young parents moved out and into their trailer. They were too young and dumb to see the help, care and love they were leaving behind.

    At prom
    50197257723_38741a78fd_h.jpg

    Moving also made a sad little girl, all Hazel knew was she missed grandma and grandpa's house and could not see it anymore, Dec and Aubs neglected to think of Hazel and how she would react being rip away from all she knew.
    50197804186_33241a5dea_h.jpg

    -Unfortunately, Nadia and Reed died on the cruise ship…..Yusuf or Yu got the news, his wife Brandie comforted him and with a lot of Aubree’s friends they all tried to track her and Dec down to tell them the horrific news.
    50930421308_0ef27e6695_h.jpg

    They found them and the funeral happened.
    50198071742_663323bc9f_h.jpg
    50197801686_bb109b2e97_h.jpg

    -Time passed and hearts healed, and Hazel continued to grow in her skills, around the time she was five, Aubree was pregnant again but due to complications she and the baby did not make it, leaving Hazel and Dec behind. (IMO I still see fully skilled tots as five year olds).
    50197252983_7547deb915_h.jpg
    50197820151_55cd21974e_h.jpg
    50197819916_a93c8a44d1_h.jpg

    Declan also started acting strange, saying nonsense was he on something? Little Hazel dubbed this side of Dec, “weird daddy”.
    50197819821_1ed2e3b116_h.jpg

    -Declan’s cousin in law Vanessa moved in to help them cope.
    50197819446_ebc42128c9_h.jpg

    -More time passed, and Hazel became a child
    50200485931_83b99d37b5_h.jpg
    50199941163_f69b93cb99_h.jpg
    50199940808_a7d30100f3_h.jpg

    Vanessa became a permanent fixture in Dec and Hazel's life, even if that was not her plan to begin with. She just could not leave the little girl with Declan not when he was acting so strange, so she partially raised Hazel.
    50200537991_3c67752993_h.jpg
    50200802917_59b0d62772_h.jpg
    50200537701_f4f4ad13ba_h.jpg

    While Dec became worse and worse despite how much Hazel needed him.
    He was getting help for his grief but would not, or could not take it, he came home dazed a lot.
    He skipped his appointments he stopped doing is healthy routine.
    He had never finished high school but got a job but then lost it.
    50199993308_0fb958d2b1_h.jpg

    The erratic behavior kept getting worse, one night Hazel was asleep and he woke her up to read her a story then seem to become angry or hallucinate (No he was not sick, not in that way).
    50200002088_328ad436ff_h.jpg

    Hazel had two best friends since toddlerhood, their names were Illana and Jesse (with glasses) they were actually Yu’s stepchildren, they were super close, Illanna was loud, fiery and slightly bossy but a good sim, Jesse was more timid and gentle like Hazel.
    50200560261_1bb11c3551_h.jpg

    At least Vanessa had Yu and Brandie helping take care of Hazel too
    50200015593_c0055c7187_h.jpg

    Hazel made another friend from a penpal assignment via Scouts, her name is Rainbow Stone
    50273152787_cfdd43c8da_h.jpg

    As time went onward, Hazel is now 10 and starting to see who stays to tuck her in and be with her and care about her friends and life.

    50200605141_203978422b_h.jpg
    50269472892_d93affd51c_h.jpg

    To whom keeps giving her hugs but leaving her and acting strange.

    50200002863_cefd7485d8_h.jpg

    Highlights for the Stones
    -Gemma Stone was Max, Mckenna and Lilith’s “mom”. She was awful and treated them horrible throughout their childhoods.
    50272222313_4555b5be71_h.jpg

    She got ran over by a hit and run car leaving the three siblings to continue to survive but now solely on their own that became a blessing despite how hard it was.
    50272895676_c3a44b20a7_h.jpg

    Each one had a vice to overcome:

    Mckenna the eldest twin teenager was always a go getter giving her all to keep her siblings fedand housed.
    50273062082_3beacf179f_h.jpg

    However, she had a nasty habit of taking her anger and frustration out on Lilith, causing Lilith to temp move out to live with family friends.
    50272896681_df40e2cd77_h.jpg

    However, she realized all her anger had nothing to do with Lilith and sought to first find an outlet for her anger, she chose exercise and wood working.
    50321685197_d3500dcdb8_h.jpg
    50321755862_703e45df93_h.jpg

    She did her best to make amends with her sister, they now have an amazing relationship and it was worth the years of fixing and atonement on Mckenna’s part
    50320834178_88929f630d_h.jpg
    50272946021_be76754d95_h.jpg

    And even Mckenna found love after swearing off it because of her “mom” Gemma.
    50273166142_e2f5ed7cfd_h.jpg

    Lilith the youngest child of the Stone trio, was different, she never stopped being a child inside and she was hated most by Gemma, which Mckenna picked up on and continued until they made up.
    50321486111_f60179b2df_h.jpg

    Gemma, was just one "mom" of Lilith (I let gay couples have kids naturally in my game) Gemma never told Lilith or Gianna Zest they were mother and daughter.

    Matty Zest the uncle of Lilith and younger brother of Gianna Zest. did some detective work and figured it out.
    50321575211_bdb46e665c_h.jpg

    Mother and Daughter were ecstatic to fill the holes of time.
    50320835143_c51b0a5f83_h.jpg

    But time was short, to short for the two…
    50321636002_cba6586667_h.jpg
    50321457546_5778f531ea_h.jpg

    But even after the loss things moved on towards a new better path.

    Mckenna showed her compassion and Matty promised to always watch over her even if she went to live back with her siblings.
    50320785013_94c37ac297_h.jpg
    50321456341_37ed35b895_h.jpg

    Lilith also found her niche in children’s book thanks to her childish manner and great writing skills, she went to uni and graduate and started writing.
    50321456756_7a54596ad5_h.jpg

    For Max the middle child, youngest twin and only boy of Gemma, found his vices in hookups resulting in a baby, one that the mom did not want. But Max did, he knew that life of being unwanted.
    50320987793_e93a236b69_h.jpg
    50320988613_1d3dfc545f_h.jpg

    The teen dad called the little girl, Rainbow.
    50321753602_0eaab54323_h.jpg

    Toddler
    50321508596_5b69be1e51_h.jpg
    They all moved into a new house together out of the rat infested apartment.
    50321456141_98fed1164c_h.jpg
    50320724983_6c068e02be_h.jpg

    Max studied in programing online and got a tech position. He also meet a lovely lady named Julianna, they took things slow, falling in love.
    50321467246_146e44d339_h.jpg

    Rainbow was the light and hope at the end of the Rainbow, the main, but not only reason all three stayed together and mended.
    50321484491_d7254aea39_h.jpg

    Child Rainbow is a bright and jubilant little girl, she is well loved by Max, Mckenna and Lilith!
    50272459733_4b3b5df53c_h.jpg
    50273002246_c2e47b66db_h.jpg

    She was homeschooled but made her own friends and the penpal Hazel Adler.
    50272939536_c4b7b545b2_h.jpg
    50200538376_4fac6b39eb_h.jpg

    Rainbow had her share of problems too.
    Accepting Juliana into her life (She thought she was an evil spellcaster out to take her daddy) but with the woman’s patience and calm attitude it happened in no time flat.
    50273227367_33b9f55056_h.jpg
    50272974491_f36ef2c260_h.jpg

    Then she had too much homework that Max added on for homeschooling, desperate to give his daughter everything he never had.
    50272974946_0b3eb28473_h.jpg

    But with each problem, Max learned to help his daughter through it. Their bond is the most precious I love it and feel the love from them.
    50272985566_b835895bd2_h.jpg
    50247333422_dbcf83968b_h.jpg
    50272492718_9fac80b2f6_h.jpg

    Alright, that is it for me, happy simming! :)

    @Lyrie hey bud nice to see your families here heh.

    Mmkay this is a humor me post again...but in my defense, I was on heavy rotation and cut a lot of pics.

    She has mixed feelings about hearing her daughter is dating the grim reaper, I realized I had also brought back their original family in another save so their like the distant descendants. Does that make it worse or better who she is interested in that's five generations they'll never know technically..

    "Fine yell at me but don't tell dad." mmhmm.
    8awJzQh.png
    Speaking of dad, he's found drinks just taste better in his daughter's room....that probably needs a remodel but it tickles me their pretty princess is into that level of "bad boy".

    "The fizz fizzles and doesn't go flat...ha, I should be in commercials."

    "Daddy! Get out of my room."

    "Pfft as if, I paid for it."

    Ushering out the other three for school, his only son trying to puppy dog eye his way out of school.

    "Nice try champ."

    After a string of gossip reached Nancy she has found that Geoffrey's youngest came from Cassandra and Malcolm while somewhat trying to change decided to get his family away from it, I moved them into a house I remodeled it was just right for them.

    Now I switched to the moles, as the kids would have aged up fairly soon before I changed the lifespan I aged up the demon triplets, which were well behaved but they weren't prepared for them. Out of the box they are adorable.

    The eldest and middle, Cruz and Kelvin.

    And their sister, they are all dolls, Christina and John have never given me ugly children but this group is my favorite and I'll play them for a bit before I age them up again to go to uni.

    We had blizzard in Glimmerbrook.

    emSUgaw.png

    Patchy came in out of the cold, cleaned the house and played some computer games while Morgyn napped.

    e2URNnT.png

    An angry Bron Banshee from the boarding house in Forgotten Hollow showed up. She doesn't know Morgyn, but decided to help herself to a nice soak.

    JHWpkLz.png

    When Morgyn woke up, he managed to talk her into a better mood.

    1BOM9kN.png

    She was so happy when she got back home that she decided to bust a few moves.

    His nap disrupted and the blizzard over, Morgyn went out in his front yard to appreciate the snowfall.

    I haven't been sharing my story much lately, but I've been continuing it quietly. Johnny, my legacy founder, is almost an elder. His heir is a teenager now, but I've lost quite a lot of interest in her. Instead, I keep coming up with story ideas for Johnny, and it's a bit of a problem because... well, I need to invest in his daughter's story more because Johnny's time is nearing an end... :(

    So lately, I've been trying to knock off several venues I had on my 'to do' building list. I've built an ice skating rink, bridal shop, large 50x50 outdoor music pavilion, sushi bar, ice cream parlor, wedding vineyard, a rental on Windenburg's Crumbling Isle, a new Studio PBP, a bakery, a doggy daycare... uh... some more but I'm so tired of building at this point.

    While I was building, I started coming up with more and more ideas for Johnny. The absolute WORST idea I had was, "What if I 'reboot' my legacy family with all these ideas I have in my mind?" Oh boy... I tried getting the thought out of my head, but I couldn't! The ideas just kept coming and I've given in.

    So... now I'm making a new save file. Hooray! (Not really, it takes forever to move over lots, make new ones, add in all my townies... bleh!)

    I hear you. I'm not too keen on the rumor we may be getting yet another patch this month. Face/palm. I may as well get a head start on a new Template Save for my singer Sim, too. Not what I was wanting to do. Even though I took a far more relaxed game play this time around, Erik still rose incredibly fast. I need to find a mod that allows for more than one piece of music to be licensed. This one-a-week restraint is ridiculous. He's still not won. True enough, he only has three licensed songs in his quiver, but he'll be heading off to Uni in the not-too-distant future. No time to do much of anything, beyond studying. No word on the Road to Fame mod, as of yet. But then it took about two months after the September 21st patch to be deemed compatible. I am noticing some odd things going on. I will once again uninstall and reinstall, just in case something went wonky in that process. Erik hasn't made nearly as many friends as he has in the past, either. Something isn't right.

    Best of luck. Just keep in mind the whole idea of playing is to have fun. If the game begins to be a stressor, it's no longer a useful tool, now, is it?

    Ken Akiyama (the son of Taku Akiyama) has set out on a new phase of his life--first, finally moving in with his long time girlfriend Kathryn (they've been sweethearts since high school); then, since Kathryn's dream is to become a spellcaster, Ken has decided to join her! So, they converted the old Akiyama house in Mt. Komorebi into a winter sport supply shop & moved to Glimmerbrook where, after becoming spellcasters, Kathryn can focus on her potion making and sports star Ken can find a new competitive activity to challenge him in dueling!

    @GalacticGal Thank you! I always have this mindset that even though building/making a starter save isn't very fun, it's one of those necessary steps for me to enjoy the game. The world is the setting for my stories to take place in, and it's important for me to have that strong foundation for my stories. Building all these lots and setting up the world is also building a lot of anticipation though, so I'm eager to finish up soon and start a new-ish adventure with Johnny.

    Also, I use this mod to allow unlimited licensing. It hasn't been updated for awhile, but it still works. Though, licensing several times will make your fame shoot up incredibly fast.

    THANK YOU! I did a search earlier and found nothing. :open_mouth: I shall give this mod a chance. It can only wreck my save, right? LOL May as well see how it does. I'm also fighting the notion to restart the family, only with the kids all younger, but the older a save the sooner it corrupts, so it might be a Fool's Errand. I think I'll see what happens with this mod. Thank you so very much! I think you just took a few years off my back. I feel young, :)

    @NightlyCoffee I just had Erik spam his whole violin portfolio of six songs. Upon licensing the first of the six, I got a pop up that said his song was nominated for an accolade. I'll have to write down verbatim what it said, something about soaring to new heights. I am almost crying. Now, I do realize that a nomination doesn't always mean a win, but this is a FIRST for me. Erik was only ever nominated for his music when in the Entertainment Career. Once. He won, but no ceremony. This one is more like having a book nominated and you go to the Show and hope you win. :) You'll know if my next installment recounts a glorious night for the Teen. Now, what to have him wear … Not only that but it's Saturday in my game! Not long to wait. I'm giddy, can you tell? You may have just resurrected this game save for me. Smiling so hard my cheeks ache.

    A sweet moment of a new life being announced. Juliana is the girlfriend of Max. He is now a YA and getting to experience everything differently along with his precious daughter Rainbow.

    Here are some highlights below, I would post the whole thing but this is the non story theme thread so I will post a link to my story page instead.

    Link: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/988497/lyries-simming-stories

    "Rainbow sweetheart, my belly is not bigger because of more ice cream trips."

    Juli's thoughts: Though, I started making a lot of cupcakes, but she does not need to know that.

    "My belly is bigger because I am carrying a baby in here, I am pregnant."

    Rainbow made wide eyes at Juliana,

    "Whoa...."

    She was quiet then put her hands at her stomach,

    "You mean... a baby lives in you right now?"

    Juli got down and did the same gesture,

    "That is right and just not 'a' baby, our baby, your daddy's and your baby, you will be a big sister, sweetheart."

    Rainbow looked mystified and came to touch Juli's stomach they talked a bit more about.
    51101851608_547228d514_k.jpg
    When Juli told Max the news, what a reaction!

    First, he just grabbed her and kissed her with so much passion, Juli was mush again times 100 and could not even hug back everything was jelly, the good kind of squishy jelly.
    51101705567_55dc8dd742_k.jpg

    "Are you really? Did I hear you right? I.... whoa... say it again, please, tell me one more time."

    Max's voice was joyful and overwhelmed,

    Juliana looked at Max with loving affection,

    "We are having a baby."

    Came the gentle words to his request.

    Actually journeyed to Batuu, again, in my Journey to Batuu save! I am playing my emancipated Teens, and as they are still in school that pretty much limits my jaunts to Black Spire Outpost to weekends. Today, I took Jaxen out on his own, completed the initial arrival mission, and made a good start on his Scoundrel aspiration.

    He also underwent a Dai Bendu rite of passage - namely, having his posterior presented to him by his opponent, in his inaugural lightsaber challenge.

    Sparring with your bros in the safety of the kyber dojo back home can only teach you so much, Jax. You may as well be bulls-eyeing womp rats from your T-16.

    He can step up his training, with a bit of focus. Maybe one of his elders needs to remind him that kyber crystals are more than just pretty rocks.

    Thankfully, he can also work on improving his Programming skill and his sabacc game from home as well, during the coming week, and be ready for the next stage of his journey into galactic adventure.

    I had relaxing gameplay today with the Lothario family.

    In the morning Sophia had an important conversation with her dog Truman. I don't know what was it about, but it seemed very important. :D

    Sophia's parents Jessica and Don had a romantic moment before the breakfast.

    Marty was just chilling out. Too close to the candle, in my opinion, but he was cute. o:)

    After the schoolday was over Sophia did her homework.

    Don had a stressful day at work. He was fuming. :angry:

    In the evening Sophia spent some time on the monkey bar.

    Jessica is a gardener and she spent most of the day taking care of her big garden. Don is trying to solve the Strangerville mystery, but he was too tense after work, so I let him just go jogging with Truman first and later use the listening device to gather the evidence.

    @GalaticGal I'm so glad Erik was nominated! My fingers are crossed that he takes home an award at the Starlight Accolades!

    @Lyrie Thank you!! I love family gameplay so much, and legacy type gameplay just appeals to me the most. But I also tend to make my stories mini soap operas because I love romance and drama way too much.

    I do sometimes upload my builds, but only after I playtest them thoroughly and only the builds I made 100%. I always build for personal use, so I don't limit myself with which packs I use. If you're interested, my builds are on my Origin ID: NightlyCoffee

    Also, Rainbow is so adorable and she seems so excited to be a big sister. I love the family photoshoot, too! Do you like decorating your homes with family portraits? It's something I really love doing so I have little reminders each generation.

    Thank you @NightlyCoffee, I've been struggling with a headache that wants to become a migraine most of the day. So Erik is just going to have to wait. I greatly appreciate the link to the mod.

    Get better soon @GalacticGal. (I'm off sick today myself).

    What happened in my game today? The pair of elderly Sims my Nan made both died within a few Sim hours of each other. That's what happens when your grandmother answers the CAS story questions I guess...
    It was a great deal of fun to make a (married) couple with my Nan. They had a good life for a little while with the grown daughter and teenage granddaughter I made later. But then they both died :'( I would have dealt with one death and prepared for the other, but not both at once. Chalk up another fun but (very) short lived game.

    Hope you feel better soon, too. At least you should have a copy of those Sims in your My Library, right? There's some hope in that. :)

    @Lyrie :) , ah how darling can't wait to see her with the baby, and I'm just waiting for you to out of nowhere spring a teenaged Rainy on us ha.
    @Kimmer oooh they are such a cute family, I've given Don so many families over the years he glues himself in the favorites I think mmhmm.

    So obviously I shared Liam's family but I couldn't remember if I shared who was lost in this particular thread they are fairly old as they started a little while after Seasons came out. So I popped in that save and remembered they were living in the save that belongs to my first interior designer I'll have to get her a new job she has this odd set up in her family I'll show you next time.
    81U9Y33.png
    This is Leslie and Reggie the founders and of course gen1 of my bad decisions legacy basically they had a kid on a run down lot and had to renovate it while having more kids making money on collectibles and whatever she stole cause klepto. I love how they often pass each other and share a little look. I prepared him for work cause I don't think he's ever had a job and I took away her klepto trait they don't need it anymore.
    Xde3YpG.png
    This is just two generations I believe the rest are really gone for good, but I made a note that Liam is gen four so the first born there would be his grandmother, Jessica only moved out with little money and started a family the first night she met her roommate...yep. I left the twins, faded is Sam the other is Tom with their parents and siblings and Reggie gave her another kid but he's gone. The girls..pink is Nadine but the other I forget , darn I just looked. These four died of old age that wasn't planned since I left them at home, but they were all second's apart at Liam's wedding to Bella goth the family had a lot of bugs to keep around so I had to often move them around and reconnect somewhere in there their ages connected.
    v5ic4D7.png
    Reggie reminding his moody son that he can always come to him, even while they are dancing, Tom is just trying real hard not to call them both lame, at least it looks like it.
    feoUDqP.png
    Jessica and Leslie have always been best friends but I spared her that this time she was just different when Leslie finally died, actually I remember they moved into a new house I had put the family to bed and Reggie passed away first I believe then Leslie got up and walked over to his side to die next to him or it was the other way around. This family is...just an extreme amount of close, the two youngest kept the house and the memories till my computer died at the time.
    cRfzieA.png
    Leslie reminding her husband that seven kids later they are so not done I'll probably age up Jessica soon and move her out and see what happens.
    mxObyOd.png
    I am realizing there is barely space in my remodeled house but it works I got Leslie a little farm to keep her busy.
    ltesAdQ.png
    I moved to Catarina's home seeing that she has a family with one of the heckings and the other has one with some other woman I don't know, don't know what happened there anymore but this look...yeah you're pretty and bitter I get it. That model look hehe.

    Alright that's enough rambling I can't believe how much I remember from the morris-howard family funny how the sims just stick huh?
    Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
    All the sims err'day

    @RedDestiny92 I like your family you remembered a great deal from discovering them again, heh, I like close families, I think only once, I had a pair of sims die so close together how sad yet sweet. Catarina deff has those model vibes, I gotta say! I've heard of the Hecking doing that but in my game they are together and MCC gave them the cutest little girl, I have to show you sometime but she waddles after Rosie all day xD

    Heh, you shush your face xD Bow-bow will be a child for a while, not threatening me with teenagers! xD

    @NightlyCoffee Yes! Legacy has always been my style but now I added in rotation play, fun but hard to switch households but once I, I get attached to those sims lol.

    Awesome, I understand that completely, I'll check out your gallery for sure! :) Aw thank you~ I am super happy she is so excited, I hope it stays that way when she meets the baby!

    Aaaaaah I do, I do have photo walls of my sim, I have two pictures that show my founders Rainbow and Hazel's wall in their room coming up, I'm not the best at taking pictures with the tripod camera but will work at it~

    Alrighty here are some snap shots from my next update.

    Again if you wish to read the full story please go here: Recent Part

    Highlights of The Stones Household.
    They are both thrilled of course!
    51101704692_b59180619e_k.jpg

    Rainbow was always happy to be read her favorite book toy tales, she still did not care if it was for toddlers, a classic is a classic no matter how old you get!
    51101686269_70fd3ca499_k.jpg

    "Pleeeeeaaaaaaaase aunt Kenna, I promise, I will let you do all the hard parts but well, I gotta do some of it, it is for Hazelnut, I know she will love it!"

    "Listen, kid, cooking is one thing but woodwork? Max would kill me if you even lost the safe part of your fingernail doing this!"

    "Please! I will wear extra protection things all of it!"

    Rainbow looked up with deep feelings,

    "Please, Aunt Mckenna, I know this will be very special for Hazel, I can't think of any other Winterfest gift other then this."
    51101606286_4966486869_k.jpg

    Highlights of The Adler Household.
    Hazel continued to have a hard time at school, but she kept it to herself... she often came home feeling sad or embarrassed after school, or hurt.

    Hazel knew that Illana would just get in trouble if she knew, fighting for her.

    Jesse would just worry and so would Rainbow and she would try to come and stop this bully too, though not as brash and vicious as Illana.

    Matt would worry too and Whitnay well, she was pretty sure they shared they same bully.

    Strange how she thought about all her friends feelings but did not think of adults, asking them for help.
    51385959570_2a4ef4720b_k.jpg

    Though she got really happy going to her first music lesson, she wanted to test out all the instruments to see if one clicked then try to follow through with learning it.

    But Rainbow's words did stick to her head, if none of them fit, that was okay, she did not have to BE her mom after all, I won't reveal yet what instrument she picked or did not pick.
    51385200368_130bfa510d_k.jpg

    First Yuu took them out to see the latest voidcritter movie! Matt also joined them via Illana's invite.

    51384190792_59e3c1b07e_k.jpg
    51385957100_2fb4a9a601_k.jpg
    Note: Jesee has glasses, Matt in blue, Hazel in purple and Illana the last child lol.

    Afterward, the kids ran outside reenacting one of the scenes and that turned into a snowball fight lol.

    Poor Yuu can't even use the bathroom without things happening xD Oh well, they had so much fun!

    Journey to Batuu, palazzo build playtest continues. Today's issue - Outfits!

    I am loving this build and while there are things I'd approach differently if I were starting again from scratch, I do think it looks like it could have been lifted from the posh streets of cultured, civilized Naboo. That is, it hit my benchmark for "something different" in my Sims play in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

    KDbSWuW.png

    Because this post is pics-intensive, I am putting the rest behind spoiler-tags. Click on through - it's not naughty. Well, there's some kissy bits, but only in passing, I promise. ;)
    What is unfortunately the same as my usual play is that I have dressed the sims I am playing - a trio of Teens emancipated from parental oversight - as the age they are, and a certain amount of, shall we say, informality.

    yLj44Is.png

    fAM0tSL.png

    pPyzkA8.png

    3UmduVR.png


    Which works okay for picking up odd-jobs in a slightly beat-up Outer Rim homestead setting... but is jarring in a house this posh. I can tell Dane feels underdressed.

    GhTsQAv.png

    cpwb924.png

    Even in the less formal study, across the entry arcade, sims swanning around in their swim trunks and gym clothes just doesn't quite fly.

    vLcPGsK.png

    ulW4PJy.png

    I mean, don't take this the wrong way, Jaxen - your caboose looks great in those trunks - but consider the effort (not to mention expense) that went into securing this property as a Dai-Bendu training temple? What if we have upscale guests on whom an impression must be made? Canto Bight high-rollers? New Republic senators-in-exile?

    So, it's a weekend, everyone's caught up on homework and motives are all in the green for once. Into CAS we go! Party outfits is a good "spare" category. I use Formal for their dressy Dai-Bendu ceremonial robes - those have yet to have an occasion.

    No need to dress up like the Queen of Naboo - we can even retain a certain casual style by rolling our sleeves - but garments should be neat, and lines clean. In order: Dane, Drake, and Jaxen ("You look good. A little rough around the edges, but good." - Q'ira)

    Sure, the family funds were gathered mostly through extra-legal mercantile ventures, or sliced from First Order pay manifests, but now that we've made it, let's try to look as classy as our surroundings. It helps.

    There, now isn't that better?

    I'm not sure how to add pictures and I'm not sure that I want to add pictures anyway. Let's talk.

    Vick Steele is the son of rock legend Brenton Steele and Judith Ward - although he grew up with his mom, he's always had a rock streak running through him... which carried off into his work as an actor (because he's born to acting royalty, he naturally turned to acting himself... funny how quickly he was promoted).

    Anyway, today he was performing in a medical drama and guess what? His love interest was played by his mother. They fully made out on set and it's now going to be broadcast into televisions across the world.

    I knew Judith Ward was a professional, but I didn't think she'd actually kiss her own son on camera. Not even Meryl Streep has done that with her daughters.
    I don't remember how to change my signature.

    I haven't played for a couple of days. I sing in a trio and we haven't performed since Covid shut downs. We got word Tuesday that we were being advertised for a performance at a Thanksgiving dinner for the senior citizens center. This is something we do every year. It was canceled due to Covid last year and had been discussed but never finalized for this year. So, after nearly two years of not singing together, we had to polish up an hour long show to perform yesterday. It was good to be back with my group, though. And, the seniors were happy to have something "normal" back in their lives. If you can call us normal!

    Anyway, today we still had heavy snow in Glimmerbrook. So what's a spellcaster to do? That's right. Make a giant cauldron of comfort food.

    Patchy continues to find refuge from the cold by coming inside. Morgyn's cat has a weird obsession with the fireplace, which they both find humorous.

    lkbdW9l.png

    Morgyn's childhood friend, Musette, came by. She lives in Mooncrest. They haven't seen each other in a while, so it was good to catch up.

    DcQwaRy.png

    Yeah. Friendships are great and all, but sometimes a girl just needs a little privacy!

    9wl8Tnw.png

    And, in other news: Caleb Vatore and Mortimer Goth faced off in a game of "Don't Wake the Llama" in Windenburg.

    Daniel and Emily have been married for awhile; now they have a little bundle of joy named Noah. Waking up in the middle of the night to either feed Noah or change a stinky diaper has been non-stop. Yet, he's still the apple of their eye.

    Life-on-the-Farm-1.jpg

    My farm family always enjoys spending time with their family and friends. Emily thought it would fun to go skating. So, she cooked up some yummy things to eat and off they went.

    Roller-Skating-2.jpg

    First timers for sure.
    Roller-Skating-3.jpg

    This is not going well.
    Roller-Skating-4.jpg

    It was a challenge for all but everyone had fun. Well, almost everyone.
    Roller-Skating-5.jpg

    Someone is all tuckered out.
    Night-Night.jpg

    The next day the guys decided to head over to Little Petals flower shop. Daniel wanted to pick up a beautiful flower arrangement for Emily. Noah, however, wasn't happy because this place looked nothing like the park they were suppose to be headed to.
    Flower-Shop.jpg

    So, his dad decided to teach him how to plant his first flower--tantrum averted. Just look at that happy face; a little farmer in the making.

    Thank you. It was great to be back. We’re hoping for a return to performing this summer. Glad you liked my game snippets.
