@UniqueKhaos Nice makeover. Don't think I have ever played an household with four kids, have fun
@cyncie I love the "All Worlds Are Residential"-mod!! Being able to live in Selvadorada is wonderful! Think that my future heir will move there when she ages up.
@simgirl1010 Think that it will be fun to add the community Story Progression to my game later on. I am still on the original Tartosa-patch. It's fun to read about everything that happens in others saves. Also, I love having chickens in the game.
@Kimmer Paranormal investigator! Haven't had time to try that one yet. It looks like so much fun.
I spent time in the Cantrell household. All of them are carrying a solid A. Joseph just got another promotion from Lead Lecturer to Assistant something-or-other. Suffice it to say, it came with yet another raise. He now only has to work four days a week. Erik now has five albums released. He won his very first Starlight Accolade for Best Song, and has another nomination to sweat over. LOL I left him on early Sunday morning. I spent the rest of my gaming period working on his future house for HoB. Yeah, I know it's a while off, but that last house I built for him is really calling. Not only that, but when I sized it down to fit the narrow end of the lot he was living on, I felt incredibly cramped. I've decided he'll live where the castle was up on Olde Mill Top. I may have his sister live in another town, unless I can come up with an intriguing smaller castle … Erik hasn't met the love of his life, so far. I haven't given up, yet. He knows her father and two of her four sisters. Maybe, he should go calling on Hayleigh?
I turned on neighbourhood stories to kill off some sims I don't like but can't delete because of family trees. Considering what I've seen here and other sims forums, I expect the game to do a quick job with them. Don't think it's the way this tool was meant to be used, but if the glove fits...
Neighbourhood stories bonus: Maxwell's baby-crazy brother who had been annoying him for a whole season with daily calls about whether or not he should have a baby has apparently finally made up his mind and is expecting triplets. With his girlfriend apparently having done the knocking up part. As they say, be careful what you wish for.
I'm still playing the household in the middle of all the wedding planning in my game, but Diana had a birthday today so her mom (Celeste) and Brighe took a break from the wedding planning to throw her a big party, lest she feel neglected. Here is Diana, now a teen (center image) with her mom on the right and her step-mom-to-be on the left, winding down after the party wrapped up:
My little cut sim took another sim on a date. It was going really well, they were going to exchange numbers and when they did the guy look bored, yawned and just put the phone down. My little sim had a -<3
I did not even know that could fail. Ha ha ha, she has the worst luck with dating this poor sim.
This is me and my sim.
Totes my fault. I made her go on a date even when she was feeling really tense and that probably influences how things goes. I have a mod for sickness so she is feeling a bit ill. Also Nancy Laandgrab turned off the electricity. Still, took me by surprise so that was fun.
It's cool it's cool. Not like we had set our hopes up or anything. Just 4 days left to get married for the inheritance and I have already generated their 3 future kids in cas saved in my library.
I’m continuing to work on my side project of a Selvadorada/Oasis Springs community. I’ve got the families moved around and a nice selection of homes. Now I just have to create the residents and the public lots
Today I was interested in custom content, so I made a new sim with several things I downloaded from the Sims Resource. I think she looks pretty good. Can't wait to see what adventures she has
My Sim Marjaana Rossi got a promotion. She's a Fashion Influencer and she got to level 10 on her career today. To celebrate her promotion she invited her best friend Angel Reyes to an ice cream restaurant. I don't know what Angel told her to make Marjaana react like this...
They had their ice cream bowls, Marjaana got cherry ice cream and Angel got mint-chocolate. Marjaana had an interesting reaction again.
Marjaana also had a bit of fun with Marcus Flex.
They're not dating, they're just "fooling around". I've decided that Marjaana will be a single mother and Marcus is a good choice for a father. They tried for a baby but I don't know if Marjaana is pregnant, I didn't make her do a pregnancy test. I want it to be a surprise.
Angel Reyes is also my Sim that I play in this save next. She's a trans Sim and she's biologically still a man. I'm not sure whether to make her fully transition to a woman, because I tried it on CAS and her looks changed too much. I like her the way she looks now, but I'm going to try once again. If I don't like her new look I won't change her.
I intervened on Erik's behalf. Weeks have gone by in my game, and still he has yet to meet his future bride. He's met her father, one of her trip sisters, a younger sister, but the only sighting I've had of Kayleigh was when she showed up in the PBP Studio parking lot —Bald as a Billiard cue. She missed Erik by that much! I made a point of going into her household specifically to restore her golden locks. In so doing I discovered a lighter blonde shade than I was using! Where was that hiding? Now her hair is identical in color to her trip sisters, which makes way more sense. So, I was hoping Erik would meet her, and wonder how she could have long hair when the day before, when he saw Hayleigh last, her hair was still short? (I may still use that.) But, alas, she just wasn't showing up anywhere Erik was. I sent him to fish again at Magnolia Park, but it was downright freezing in Willow Creek. Mind you, he lives in Del Sol Valley, which is more of a desert, just like most of Southern California is, in actuality. He did meet her when he got to the Golden house. Just about all of the family was out front on the sidewalk waiting. Waiting for whom? (Advance notice on Simstagram they were about to have a Celebrity sighting?) At any rate, as in other iterations of Erik, it was love and deep friendship at first sight. Hard to take things slowly when both bars are filled to the top. LOL
Started myself a new Random Nightmare Legacy Challenge. Here is Connie. I used story mode and she turned out to be a spellcaster. And she ended up marrying Morgan.
Rosalind gave birth to her 7th child. She´s been paying good money for her grandfather to raise the older 6 for her and the youngest joined them as soon as the initial bonding was done. Ros really loves woohoo, but anything younger than a teenager just isn´t her thing. It´s really a win-win situation, as her grandfather hates being alone and needs someone to need them.
Two days later, her sister Catherine died of laughter during a family reunion. It was her third death (the first being electrocution and second also laughter) Pretty much everyone except for her youngest sister was only mildly interested at best, since by now, it´s a regular thing in their family. After Cat´s second death, Ros had intended to brew the potion of immortality for her, but then she started working on her garden, and her knitting project, and her cross-stitching, and so on and kind of forgot about it. Oops.
As the Grim was feeling done with them (over the last 3 sim years, it was his 6th or 7th time to visit her siblings, who keep on dying of avoidable causes) and refused Rosalind´s pleas to spare Cat one more time, she used magic to revive her instead.
Afterwards, everyone went on with their business as usual.
Maxwell: "How was death? Did you met my great-aunt my grandmother murdered for being boring? Was she really that insufferable that spending time with her makes you want to drown yourself?" (for the record, this was NOT the case, but that´s the version their mother, who wasn´t even born back then, has been telling her kids. Her knowledge comes from her brother who was a child at that time and did not really understand what was going on.)
Later that night, I caught their mom walking around at night in her scientist uniform, despite having not been worked as one for at least 20 years by now. I fear that she might be going through a mental breakdown of sorts, for which I can´t really blame her, because in addition of her older children´s inability to keep themselves alive, she also has three babies and six toddlers constantly needing her attention and preventing her from playing with her science equipment. That, or she was going to find Grim to test some of her toys on him for disobeying her favorite child.
Not too much happened when I played my game.
Evelyn is pregnant with Don's third child, and Don interacted with one of his sons. He has two sons, Damian and Aamon. Aamon was a toddler, while I aged Damian to a child. Before I ended my gameplay, I made Aamon a child.
I used Caleb Vatore from the Gallery to create a daughter for Ahri, which I named Ahri II.
Don doesn't live with Evelyn, nor is he married to her, however he is still a good father. He visits everyday. He isn't happy when Evelyn surprises him with another child on the way, but once they are born, he has no problem spending time with them.
Evelyn is sitting with Ahri's daughter. She is pregnant, and not in the best of moods. She is juggling a job, and kids.
Ahri with her daughter Ahri II.
Death visited Croft Manor because butler Winston refused to drink his youth medicine for a little too long and was getting a little too old.
Fortunately, the lady of the house, who had cheated death many times before, did so again by bribing the Grim Reaper with a flower and a nice little pedicure for his invisible feet.
My sim James and his wife Martha had a baby but with the new mod by Panda Sama, the realistic childbirth mod and it was so stinking adorable and realistic. The labor process took a good while and when Martha gave birth naturally it was awesome and realistic. I just have to try out the c section realism. Anything is better than the boring surgery machine, no offense. I like realism in my game.
My Cantrell family celebrated Winterfest. They spent the Eve of the holiday decorating the tree and putting up the outside decorations. Late into the evening they went to church to celebrate Midnight services. Upon their return they began to open their gifts. Youngest to oldest, this process took time and allowed all to see what the other got and their reaction to the gift, too. Plus, when the pile of presents was exhausted, the Grand Meal was certain to be ready. Adrian received a Child's Prodigy violin and Erik immediately began mentoring the Child as he attempted to play it. "Treat her like the lady she is and drag the bow across the strings gently. Gently!"
Father Winter arrived right on schedule and handed out additional gifts. One gift wasn't as welcomed as expected. Aaron was given a large pile of poop, with the message he may have been a tad more naughty this year. While Erik received one life under the microscope. The irony wasn't lost on him, either. All-in-all, the holiday was a successful one. Only problem being, come Thursday, they all had to go back to school.
Remember when I said that I expect neighbourhood stories to do a quick job at killing unwanted sims? Well, it didn't. Over the course of three weeks, I've only had three deaths: a toilet fire, a drowning and a climbing accident. Might as well return to feeding them to vampires.
I'm glad things aren't proving so wild and crazy in your game. Others have complained. So far, my game doesn't appeared altered in any real way. But then I seriously turned off most of what could happen, too. I may just turn on accidents. My family is still plagued by fires, however. Everything is shut off, but retirement for my played households.

I can't seem to find where to download this mod. I watched a video on it this morning and I would very much love to try this one.
My sim Caroline started a painting that she forgot about. During a party a friend finished the painting. It came out "bad" quality and worth a mere 69 simoleons. I sold it right from the easel, reasoning that the friend maybe paid Caroline for the canvas and took his work home with him. Next thing was Caroline getting a notification that she'd gotten nominated for an award. Come sunday I sent my family to the Starlight Accolades, only to watch Caroline actually win the thing!
Thank you so much @Stormkeep I must have scrolled up and down up and down and up and down when I was on that sight earlier. I finally found it in itty bitty print. LOL I would ask for new eyes for Christmas, bug that's a very long time to wait.

Oh, wow, if I was the artist, that would really make me angry. You just don't touch anybody else's W(ork)-I(n)- P(rogress) like that.
