@Debjameswhite - I love Ethan and Parker's relationship, I know I say it alot but I do ♥ Gosh their mom is the worst! But I suppose as long as Paige is happy that's what counts. Perhaps Parker can become a firefighter since he is so good at putting out the fires
@JordanNicoleJJ - Aww I am so glad to hear from you and happy that you were able to take some time off to relax at home. ♥ Update at your own pace, we'll be here!
@Army000 - The weddings looked beautiful! I have been slacking on doing them in my game but I hope to get at least one soon now that the patch has been released with fixes.

I hope all of you are well! I feel like life has been so stressful for all of us and affected us in different ways. Please make sure you prioritise yourself and do what you love
Generation 4
Chapter 3
I start off with Carly (with her little makeover) and her cousin/best friend Karly:
Nova fell in love with playing the violin. She practices every day without any intervention from me
The twins also made a bunch of friends.
This is Yusun, Rumi's best friend.
Adam, Nova's friend
And this one next to Rumi is Alaina
Carly still enjoys her career and painting.
We all knew this day would come but it was so sad it happened while the girls were at school.
I only have two pictures of the whole mourning time because it was so sad
But twins wouldn't be twins if they cheered each other up
After a while, I noticed that Nova really likes Adam.
She even told him
Rumi on the other hand enjoys spending time with her best friend and doesn't care about boys yet
In case you're wondering: Adam and Nova are good
Then it was time for their birthday: Rumi could barely wait for her turn.
Of course, Carly is there for both of them
I had to rearrange their rooms, so Carly moved into the smaller one.
Rumi and Nova share the bigger one and instead of giving them a bed each, I gave them a double bed. Sharing is caring, isn't it?
And here are the teens next to each other. Nova on the left, Rumi on the right
Now that Rumi is a teen, she met a guy at school: his name is Daxton.
Nova became best friends with Alaina
Here is Rumi's best friend Yusun as a teen
I was so curious to see how the twins would be once they are teens.
Rumi fell in love with video games and she plays constantly.
Nova has no interest in gaming, so she started making her own meals
Even though she was struggling, she was proud of her achievement. Rumi's face is gold
But they still love each other despite their differences
Remember Daxton? I'm not entirely sure what Rumi's plan was but I think it was working (why else would you be in your PJs??)
And no, Nova won't be a cook, she was just constantly hungry xD
Nova still enjoys playing the violin and has the Musical Genius aspiration.
Rumi on the other hand loves the chill life and would love to have a Beach Life.
But they're still in school and enjoy their social life. They even created their own "Teen Club" and hang out with their friends all the time.
Adam is also part of the group (Nova's childhood crush)
Carly realised her little girls were not so little anymore, so one morning she decided to catch up with them and their life.
A part of her feared she would end up all alone, so one day she adopted this little kitten: Lola

@Army008 -
That's good - I want to get MWS but wanted to see if they were going to fix the large amount of glitches that I kept reading about! I'm thinking of getting it and the new kit (always looking for new wallpapers and floors) for Easter

Here's a comparison picture of Peyton with Mabel and Cohen. Peyton got Mabel's hair colour and facial features, and Cohen's skin and eye colour. It actually makes her look like a good mix of her parents.
I've got one or two more updates before I need to start playing again. I've been waiting to get MWS before continuing because it's only about a week till Emerson's YA birthday and I want to give him a good wedding!

After, Rhett graduated highschool Heath and Lia decied it would be a good time to take a vaction. They settled on Sulani, once there they were greeted by their host Kalena whom Rhett hit it off with right off the bat. while the rest of the family was off exploring Rhett was getting a one-on-one tour of the island and all of Kalena's favorite spots. While on Vacation I noticed that generation three will be making its grand entry soon.
Eloise and Olive are both pregnant, and on the final day of the trip, Eloise went into labor.
While on the trip, Rhett and Kalena grew close as she showed him to snorkle, built sand sculptures, ordered food from a food truck, and went to a bonfire. at the end of the trip, Rhett was worried he wouldn't be able to see Kalena again but to his surprise she showed up in Brindleton Bay ready for her next adventure.
I've been playing a little here and there, but life has changed a lot in the last 18 months. I moved in with my partner a year ago, I was incresingly given more responsibilities at work, and I'm now on contract as a lawyer full-time until the end of June. The reason my contract ends in June is because my partner and I are expecting a little girl in early August
Anyway, I was looking to randomise traits, etc for one of my little sims as she's growing up but the randomiser linked on the front page only randomises traits and aspirations. Which one are we using to randomise everything?
I'm slowly catching up on reading through the thread - I believe I'm up to page 42 now.
I'm off to play for a few hours, and I will most likely be spending most of the long weekend playing as well (my boyfriend is doing a Masters, which keeps him busy most weekends).
I hope you're all doing well. I've missed you!!
I'm also about to get a whole lot more gameplay in - my partner and I are finishing up day 2 of quarantine. He tested positive yesterday morning and I'm completely fine and tested negative but I'm stuck here with him until next Thursday (my birthday!). But if I get it, we'll have to start quarantine all over again *eye roll*
NOTE: Apparently I posted all of these pictures on page 50 back in September last year. I was going to delete them and just start from gameplay, but I've decided to keep them. I'll just have to keep better track of when/where/what I've posted haha
Lia Emerson
Aspiration: Master Maker
Traits: Loves outdoors, dog lover, outgoing
Career: Floral Designer (Gardener)
Hobby: Dancing
Heath Emerson
Aspiration: Master Mixologist
Traits: Seld-absorbed, Materialistic
Career: Maser Mixologist
Hobby: Acting
I went with Houseplan B:
Angel is Eloise and Imran's son and the first baby of generation 3.
Up next is Axel and Olive's baby boy Kory. Unfortunately for Olive, she didn't get to live long to see Kory age up into a toddler due to the new neighborhood stories update she got eaten by a cowplant.
Kalena followed Rhett back to Brindleton Bay, Rhett offered her the spare bedroom as she went to college while they continued to date.
After about a dozen dates and getting to know each other Rhett popped the question and asked Kalena to marry him, and of course, Kalena said yes. They settled on having a beach wedding and they each had friends and family members be a part of the wedding. Heath officiated, Eloise and Axel were the best man and maid of honor, while Olive's sisters were the flower pal and ring bear.
Not long after coming back from their honeymoon, Kalena discovered that she was pregnant and expecting baby number three of generation 3. Rhett and Kalena also welcomed a baby boy and named him Ethan. Ethan has his daddy's eyes so as of right now he is in the running for the heir.
And not too long after Ethan was born Eloise and Imran had another little boy who they name Princeton
Rhett and Kalena take parenting very seriously Rhett gives Ethan baths and Kalena puts him to bed everynight.
Axel ended up remarrying and still hasn't had another child, and as soon as Princeton and Ethan aged up to toddlers Rhett and Kalena had a set of boy and girl twins welcoming the first girl of generation 3.
Both parents ADORE little Tess, but especially dad.
In fact, they loved her so much Lia and Heath wanted to give her a little brother or sister...
Just before Baby #2 was born, Tess had a birthday
She rolled the Whiz Kid aspiration and she's a Vegetarian.
It wasn't long before little Maia was born
I am WAY ahead in game - I've just moved our Generation 2 Heir into their house (which I spent I don't even know how many house building).
Since my last post, both my partner and I have had Covid. It's sticking around for both of us (still congested and coughing) but we're doing a lot better. Today (Saturday) is FINALLY my last day of isolation after 10 days.
I hope you're all well x
Angel
Kory
Ethan
Princeton
John
Azealia
Matthew
Maggie
As of right now Matthew and Ethan are both in the running for the heir, how do you guys decide who becomes the next heir?
I have been playing a different save recently but I hope to buy the wedding pack soon so I can get back into this challenge.
Congratulations!!! Get all the sims playing you can in now because with a baby, your time will be limited for a while
I try to pick an heir who has inherited at least one of each parent's eye, skin or hair colour. In gen 2, that was tricky because they all ended up similar so I went with whoever bonded with their possible partners the quickest, and that turned out to be Lyric. In gen 3, the only boy was discounted because he had all his father's colouring, so then it was down to who l Iiked the best out of the girls. Gen 4, Nellie was discounted because she inherited Dove's colouring whereas the others were a mixture; once again, I chose depending on who got along best with their partner - Arthur or Mabel. With Gen 5, I knew that I wanted the heir to be male because there was a female amongst the spouses who had red hair
Btw, Maggie looks like she's adorable!

First up is Eloise and Imran's family
Next up is Axel and Olive's family
Lastly, is Rhett and Kalena's family. I decided I didn't want Ethan to be heir and was going to go with Matthew but when Maggie aged up I am once again torn. To me Maggie is a perfect blend between Rhett and Kalena.
As for the marriages, Angle married Katelyn Walker, Princeton married Catalina McManus, Kory married Athena Laughlin, John married Ari Vega, and Ethan married Kristopher Zest.
Thanks to the Neighborhood stories update I didn't get to capture their weddings.
Leo's family is all boys
Ivy's is a good mix but the black hair hasn't survived well down the generations - only Daphne has it in gen 4.
And Lyric's is the biggest. So far MCCC has been doing its job and giving the families children but not too many to lose track of!
@Army008 - Maggie has turned out really well! You've probably already decided on an heir but a good way of deciding in the future can be which aspiration/career you want to try next.

Here are the teen comparisons. Oakley is mostly Cohen except she got Mabel's nose and face shape.
Emerson is an extremely good mix of his parents - Mabel's eye colour, and eye and mouth (I checked this one in CAS) shape; Cohen's skin and hair colour, and nose shape.
And here is a pic of the three teens.
And here is the view from their lot during fall. It's so beautiful!!!

I too am in the middle of moving and might be a bit MIA
I'm also recovering from bronchitis so fun.
In game I have been taking things slow as I get back into the groove of things by doing a clean up of the neighborhood.
Has anyone else toyed around with the neighborhood stories features at all? Are there any that you have turned off/on? I think I am going to leave everything on and see how it goes
My current generation 7 heiress and her longtime girlfriend Rosie Luck finally tied the knot and she finally has someone to share that big house with.
They got one more surpise at the end of their ceremony too, they're expecting. I am curious to see if its multiples but I am trying not to peek

I hope you're feeling better at least and your move is going/has gone smoothly ❤️
