I tried that, it does not work, I also asked for help on the sims4studio website and no one is able to help me, that is why I gave in and downloaded the cc version, because that one I could change. It is a completely different type of package though, so I could not even use that one to try and figure out how to change the original one. You can see my help thread here https://sims4studio.com/thread/25611/change-background-family-portrait
Oh, I see. So I just import PNG files over the ones already in that mod. I've never done that before, but there's always a first time for everything!
I was hoping to keep the original frame, but I guess that's not to be. I am terrible with meshes; I've worked with several mesh programs when I got my web development degree, but I was never very good with them, and I doubt that I have any of them installed on this computer. Artistic... isn't me. So I'll have to work with what she has there, or just figure I'm stuck with the original, boring background.
@mcrudd
Oh my goodness Ginny and Grant are so cute!
Love the family photos!
You mention something called a Biltong Stick in one of your posts. I looked it up and it sort of looked like what the US calls beef jerky but different. I'm curious about how they work for teething other than the obvious biting down helps ease the pain?
@MiaSkywalker
Before the update I had a toddler who didn't like her sibling and held a grudge for like 3 sim weeks. With the sentiment thing it was out of control. Toddler's hating their parents for potty training them or giving them a bath. I haven't had that problem since the update thank goodness. I do see my children with various reactions to new siblings from happy, sad, angry and once playful. Those buffs last about 3-6 sim hours. I've never had the hidden buff before.
@TeeSea:
Yeah, I heard about the "festering grudge" issue where toddlers would randomly get that sentiment for their parents, and then it would never go away. I saw mods that were intended to fix that, but since I haven't played my baby game since the patch that caused it, I haven't needed it. The last patch was supposed to fix it, but I have no idea if it has. It sounded really bizarre, though!
@mcrudd:
Your kids are so cute. A toddler twosome! You're going to have a hectic and fun time with them.
@carlimact:
You make me laugh with your "BENJAMIN". . Surely he can't be THAT bad! Poor little babers. But at least he's a toddler now, and might be easier for you to deal with.
@all:
I caved and bought Cottage Living today. Yes, I was going to wait on a patch that REALLY fixes things, but I want the pack. This is one of the few packs they've come out with that I wasn't going to wait for a sale to buy it. Can't wait to see the CAS and BB items in the game - they look so lovely! I'll definitely have my family take a rental there at some point, because the place is so beautiful, I have to explore it.
At the moment, however, I'm still hesitant to play any of my main games until there's another patch, because we know there WILL be a major patch again pretty soon; there are some fairly bad bugs in the game right now that need to be fixed. (Like plants resetting themselves to seedling stage when my Sims leave their lot. I'm seeing that all the time now! At least the out-of-control weeds have gone away!) I don't really want to have to start over with my gardens, so I want to see when they get it stabilized.
I managed to assuage my baby-envy in the current game I'm playing. (Which was supposed to be a temporary game, but will probably end up in my line-up of main games that I play.) Since I have aging off in the game, but MCCC still does story progression to make townies get married and have kids, there are some family with a bunch of babies in the game. I visited the Pancakes; they have a toddler and two infants. I think the toddler is because at the beginning I still had aging on; there are quite a few toddlers in the game because of that. But there are even more infants, so I had my Sims play with the Pancakes' babies until I had my fill of cuddling with Sims babies.
@MiaSkywalker yes there is 7 PNG images that needs replacing, just look at their sizing to make sure you have it correct. If you want your build and buy to be matching as well, then you have 7 more DST images to change too. Then there are 21 different sizes of buildbuymode thumbnails to change as well, those took me the longest since they so teeny. I did bump my thread over at sims4studio but I am thinking its not possible to change the original frame one
@TeeSea, thank you I thought they were adorable too, first time I have non identical by skintone and hair colour babies LOL. Biltong stick is similar to beef jerky but not as dry, its more of a chewy type texture, they would make some with less salt called Kiddysticks especially for teething babies, they would just chew on it if their gums hurt, but because its yummy and durable they would last longer than say a teething biscuit (mind you with todays pc correct germaphobic world its probably not acceptable hahahahaa)
@MiaSkywalker yeah two toddlers will be fun hahaha, but I have made my game super easy now so all my toddlers are independent. They can look after themselves better than the other traits So glad you got cottage living, it’s a lovely pack through and through. Aww the Pancakes had babies Have fun looking after the little angels.
@carlimact Benjamin is one in a million. I have only had one crying baby in my game before, they don’t come up often, funnily enough when I eventually aged her up, her social or attention was very low, so I guess they want more cuddles than the other babies
@all. I am hoping to play soon. Just busy keeping an eye on my rusks baking in the oven and then I need to cut and dry them soon. Will load my game after that for sure, since hubby is working night shift tonight, so when he leaves for work at 5 then its Simming time

@TeeSea aww Hannah was a cute little toddler playing, but she is even cuter as a little girl. Mystic’s garden looks amazing. These mystery donor daddies are so funny LOL. Mystic is doing great juggling school and babies Oh my gosh its so irritating when they do that miserable teenage walk if they had a bad day at school, they take so much longer to do everything hahahaha. Irene is adorable Aww this was a sweetness overload update, your sims always have so much fun
Introducing little baby Holly born on a Sunday
She is the ninth baby and also wearing a starwars outfit LOL. (will change it next time I load my game hahahaha)
@MiaSkywalker
Thank goodness there are no more grudges. The last patch did fixed that.
I haven't had the plant to seedling glitch since the last update. The vertical gardens are broken for me. Can't even harvest the meat wall.
If I am playing a game where my sims don't have babies or toddlers I visit other households that do as well.
@carlimact
I have my offspring's dads always dropping by or calling and asking to drop by. Geoffrey is the only Landgrab I like. It's not surprising he is dropping by since he is Family Oriented.
I will be adding your Mystery DNA Donors to the game in about two updates from now. They are saved to my library. Can't wait to see what you made!
@mcrudd
I love not knowing what DNA Mystic's Offspring might have. It makes the game much more interesting. I also have the DNA Donor Reveal after the baby is born so I can’t cheat if they end up with very oddball genetics as they age up.
Irine is adorable. I tried to dress her in CL CAS items since she is an Animal Enthusiast. I will probably move her dad to Henford-on-Bagley so she can live there when she becomes a YA. I can't help but feel that the name Henford-on-Bagley sounds like a bad adult film or some Yuppy Clothing Store. I know European towns have strange sounding names but still Henford-on-Bagley...weird.
When my teens come home from school in bad mood I send them on a jog to clear their mind. 2 Sim Hours later they are much better!
Lol I love the Star Wars Onesies! Congrats on Baby Holly!
@all
I haven't been able to play today. Hopefully I will be able to play tomorrow. Have a good one!
I found out this challenge a few days ago and it is my first time playing challenge style. It is great to read everyone's progress and learn about some features. Pity about the family portrait though, hope they bring it back. Trying out with this sim here~ I even thought of trying out with the cottage living but just raising the two sets of twins brings me a headache. Funny thing is when I restart with her, I forgot to check that she gave birth to the last baby she was pregnant with. Going through life of a unversity student with her while waiting for the baby to come out :D
@mcrudd
When you said:
“That is me for now, will have to go fetch my daughter at bus stop its pouring with rain right now ”
I wondered if your daughter plays The Sims 4. If she does you could show up with an umbrella and act like you are having routing issues because of the umbrella. Start by getting out of the car. Open up the umbrella and face the car door. Close the umbrella. Close the car door. Open the umbrella and head towards your daughter. Close the umbrella then open it again. Stand still for 10 seconds and close the umbrella again. Wave at your daughter say Sul Sul and open the umbrella again. Wait 5 seconds. Close the umbrella again then open it up right after. Ask if she is ready to go home. After she answers close the umbrella and open up again. Wait 5 seconds then Head towards the car. Close the umbrella. Open the passenger door and open the umbrella then close it again. Wait 5 seconds then open the umbrella and move to let your daughter in the car. Close the umbrella and open it again. Wait 5 seconds then close the umbrella and the passenger door. Open the umbrella and head towards the driver’s door. Close the umbrella and open it again. Open the car door try to sit down then give the blocked path wave. Close the umbrella sit in the car. Wait 5 seconds close the door then say “I guess I was having an umbrella routing glitch” in a completely normal way.

Welcome to our thread We can't wait to see and read about all your adventures
@TeeSea Gosh you had me spit my coffee over my laptop hahahahaha about the whole umbrella thing, that is so true. I rather have my sims get soaked than watch them struggle with their umbrellas. I am glad you are enjoying your secret dna daddies. I might do that in the future as well. Thanks for the tip about teens jogging, I usually sent them to soak in lavender LOL
@all Sorry that I have been missing in action. I was busy for the last 6 hours making an invisible animal shed. Gosh it gave me some drama's but I succeeded in the end and is super happy about it. Now I am ready to hop into my game and see what everyone is up to. I think most have completed their aspirations, but I am waiting for their grades to come up to an A before I can age them up. I know that Stacy just had her newest little baby Holly, and that she wore a Starwars onesie, so I will quickly pop another random outfit in and hopefully this one will be more like a sweet little Holly LOL
Here's the sim :# <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/SCk3MKu" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/SCk3MKu">100 Babies Challenge - Base House is Waterside Walk by leahlaz </a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Using a base house by leahlaz, a great base for me for now :)
@mettachae could you do me a favour and post the image links only The one that says BB Code (message boards and forums)
I can then repost them for you and the pic will show
@mcrudd
I'm glad I could make you laugh! I hope your laptop is okay.
Another Tip: Kids who come home in a tense mood can be helped by a few sim hours of "Playing with Emotion" using toys or instruments.
Also school projects go way faster if you have more than one sim working at a time on the same project. I can get all three grade school projects done for one child in one sim evening by having 2 other sims help.
Ellie is so pretty!
Why would you want an invisible animal shed?
@mettachae
I will like and awesome any post I see from you to help you become a full member. In fact we did that for another member not that long ago. I know it's a bummer not being able to post BBCode. I have been signed up with the forums since Sims 3 but since I never posted until a few years back. I ended up not being able to post BBCode once they changed the rules. It was super annoying but I kept posting, answering polls and regularly participating on the forums and soon I was a full member. Keep posting and you'll reach full member in no time.
@all
I am off to play now. I wish you all the best!
Dior started out Sunday by working out on the treadmill.
Edwin was playing the violin in his room.
Forest was playing video games in his room.
And Hannah was also playing video games in her room.
It's Irine's Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Mystic spent some time potty training Irine.
Dior was practicing her DJ Skill upstairs.
Irine talked with her stuffed bunny.
Hannah played chess with Brendan who had come by to visit.
Mystic wanted to find out what would happen if she tried to Take the Cake from MooGu.
Mystic knew being immortal there was no chance of her dying. What she didn't count on is being covered in Cowplant Slime after MooGu spit her out.
Irine played in the backyard for most of the afternoon.
After some dinner Mystic put Irine to bed.
As promised Mystic took Dior to the Foxbury Campus. She gave her a tour and then they viewed Foxbury's Statue.
Before heading home they took a selfie together.
Mystic helped Dior with a high school project.
Edwin was experimenting on the chemistry table in his room.
Forest was practicing his typing.
And Hannah was doing some chemistry research in her room.
Monday
Mystic sent out her term paper.
Then she played with Irine in the nursery till her first class.
Mystics first class started at 9:30am.
When she returned home at 11am Irine wanted to learn her numbers.
So Mystic taught Irine numbers until it was time for class.
Mystic left for next class started at 1:30pm.
She returned home at 3pm with just enough time to greet her children coming home from school before heading to her 3rd class for the day.
While the older kids played video games Irine was watching her siblings trying to learn about her family.
When Mystic returned home from her last class she fed Irine.
The older kids were doing their homework.
And Mystic tucked Irine in for the night.
Dior headed downstairs to workout.
Edwin danced to the radio in the family room.
Forest was perfecting his typing in his room.
And Hannah was making Emotion Potions in her room.
At some point all the kids were dancing in the living room. At around 12am Mystic sent everyone to bed.
Tuesday
All the kids wanted to see if they could spot any morning stars so they all went to use the observatories in the backyard.
Mystic did some yoga before class.
Irine was getting herself ready for the day.
Mystic left for class at 8am followed by her kids leaving for school.
She had her last class for the term and was home by 9:30am.
When Mystic was younger she had heard legends of a country side town called Henford-on-Bagley. The roads had been blocked for decades and have only recently been re-opened. Mystic felt drawn to this quaint country town. She was wandering around with Irine when she met a older fellow by the name of Ian McMillian. He seemed familiar to her she couldn't figure out why. He invited Mystic and Irine to visit his farm.
When they reached his farm he told her that he knew her mother Lorna Willows when they were young kids. Lorna had in fact lived in Henford-on-Bagley until she became pregnant. Then he dropped a huge bomb. Ian was her father! At first Mystic was skeptical because she was born a Spellcaster and Ian was not one. Apparently Ian was a Spellcaster in his youth but wasn't really into it. A week before Lorna left Henford-on-Bagley she had asked Ian to donate some DNA so she could have a child. Lorna knew Ian was attracted to men and she never wanted to marry so it seemed like a fitting plan for both. It was always the plan for Lorna to bring her child to visit her Dad but then the roads were blocked from a cave in.
Mystic couldn't believe she met her father! She was so excited and they became instant besties.
Ian McMillian - Mystic's Father
Mystic took Irine to her mother's home so she could chat with her about her dad. Irine was nearly knocked over by an over excited Captain Whitaker.
Mystic asked Lorna if Henford-on-Bagley was where she grew up. Lorna nodded yes. Then Mystic asked her about why she moved. Lorna said that at the time people in Henford-on-Bagley were not as welcoming to outsiders and she wanted to see the world.
Then she asked if Ian McMillian was her father. Lorna was quite surprised that Mystic had found this out. Mystic explained that the roads to Henford-on-Bagley have been reopened and she met Ian when she was wandering the countryside. Lorna was happy Mystic finally knew her true origins. Mystic told her Mom all about her visit.
After a good chat with Lorna Mystic headed home to make a Homestyle cooking vlog.
She headed upstairs to edit the vlog and post it to website.
Irine was playing in the backyard when her siblings returned home from school.
The kids started on their homework.
Mystic got her grades! A+'s!
Dior needed to spend time alone so she went to Movers and Shakers Gym in Willow Creek. She did some boxing.
Then went for a jog on the treadmill.
When Dior arrived home she used her DJ Skills to play music for her family while they danced!
Wednesday
Happy Graduation Mystic!
The kids did their homework after school and Irine was watching her siblings again.
Mystic enrolled into Brichester again.
This time it's all Drama!
Irine reached all her toddler milestones just after 8:30pm.
Make a wish!
Happy Birthday Irine!
Mystic helped Irine with her homework and sent everyone to bed.
Mystic then sat on the back porch and did her homework in crisp late night air.
Thursday
When Mystic woke up it was raining. She headed outside and used the Weather Machine to change the weather to warm and sunny.
By the time everyone was leaving for school it was warm and sunny.
This of course caused the youngest kids to dilly dally.
Mystic has apparently taken enough skill classes to get her Mixology Certificate.
Another achievement to hang on the wall.
Mystic headed over to the Mystery DNA Donor's home and asked Kaydence Evans if she would be next.
Kaydence was more than happy to be next.
Mystic headed home and prepared for her next class at 1:30pm.
Mystic returned home at the same time as her kids.
They all sat down and did their homework.
Up next was Edwin's Birthday Celebration.
Happy Birthday! Edwin's Human Form
Edwin's Vampire Dark Form
It was leftover night but nobody seemed bothered.
Edwin worked out on the treadmill.
Dior went for a jog around the neighborhood.
Forest played on the Monkey Bars.
Hannah honed her chess skill.
Irine was making crafts in her room.
And Mystic was getting a head start on her term paper.
Friday
Mystic replaced the Koi in the Pond with Sharks! She loves them.
She accidently slipped into pond.
Mystic pulled herself out drenched but not hurt.
The kids left for school at 8am as usual.
Before class Mystic summoned Bonehilda to help with the household chores while she was at class. Apparently even the Paranormal Plane know of Mystic Fame.
Mystic left for her 11am class.
She returned home with just enough time to grab a snack and then leave for her 1:30pm class.
Everyone returned home from school at 3pm.
Time to do your homework!
Later the family went to the Festival of Lights in Mt. Komorebi. They all made a wish.
Then they danced around the bonfire.
Mystic took the kids to Sticky Rice in Magnolia Promenade. They all enjoyed some ramen dishes.
After returning home everyone settled in the Family Room to watch Action TV. It was a great family evening.
Saturday
Happy Arts in Autumn Day! Mystic took the family to The Victorian Arts Center in Forgotten Hollow.
They sang and played instruments. Then they made some crafts.
To finish off their trip the family sang a song together.
After returning home Mystic took a vote on what Movie the family would watch. It was a unanimous vote for the action film Diamonds are for Sims.
Mystic was feeding the sharks in the backyard.
As the kids left for Scouts.
Mystic had dinner ready when everyone returned home.
After dinner Mystic headed outside to do some recycling.
Dior and Edwin worked out in the basement.

Before the update I had a toddler who didn't like her sibling and held a grudge for like 3 sim weeks. With the sentiment thing it was out of control. Toddler's hating their parents for potty training them or giving them a bath. I haven't had that problem since the update thank goodness. I do see my children with various reactions to new siblings from happy, sad, angry and once playful. Those buffs last about 3-6 sim hours. I've never had the hidden buff before.
@all
I am off to play! Have a great day!
Yeah, I heard about the "festering grudge" issue where toddlers would randomly get that sentiment for their parents, and then it would never go away. I saw mods that were intended to fix that, but since I haven't played my baby game since the patch that caused it, I haven't needed it. The last patch was supposed to fix it, but I have no idea if it has. It sounded really bizarre, though!
@mcrudd:
Your kids are so cute. A toddler twosome! You're going to have a hectic and fun time with them.
@carlimact:
You make me laugh with your "BENJAMIN".
@all:
I caved and bought Cottage Living today. Yes, I was going to wait on a patch that REALLY fixes things, but I want the pack. This is one of the few packs they've come out with that I wasn't going to wait for a sale to buy it. Can't wait to see the CAS and BB items in the game - they look so lovely! I'll definitely have my family take a rental there at some point, because the place is so beautiful, I have to explore it.
At the moment, however, I'm still hesitant to play any of my main games until there's another patch, because we know there WILL be a major patch again pretty soon; there are some fairly bad bugs in the game right now that need to be fixed. (Like plants resetting themselves to seedling stage when my Sims leave their lot. I'm seeing that all the time now! At least the out-of-control weeds have gone away!) I don't really want to have to start over with my gardens, so I want to see when they get it stabilized.
I managed to assuage my baby-envy in the current game I'm playing. (Which was supposed to be a temporary game, but will probably end up in my line-up of main games that I play.) Since I have aging off in the game, but MCCC still does story progression to make townies get married and have kids, there are some family with a bunch of babies in the game. I visited the Pancakes; they have a toddler and two infants. I think the toddler is because at the beginning I still had aging on; there are quite a few toddlers in the game because of that. But there are even more infants, so I had my Sims play with the Pancakes' babies until I had my fill of cuddling with Sims babies.
The only kind of garden I can grow is a virtual one.
Dragons - must haz dragons!
@MiaSkywalker Benjamin has chilled significantly since aging up. He was a very fussy baby, I tell you.
@TeeSea, thank you I thought they were adorable too, first time I have non identical by skintone and hair colour babies LOL. Biltong stick is similar to beef jerky but not as dry, its more of a chewy type texture, they would make some with less salt called Kiddysticks especially for teething babies, they would just chew on it if their gums hurt, but because its yummy and durable they would last longer than say a teething biscuit (mind you with todays pc correct germaphobic world its probably not acceptable hahahahaa)
@MiaSkywalker yeah two toddlers will be fun hahaha, but I have made my game super easy now so all my toddlers are independent. They can look after themselves better than the other traits
@carlimact Benjamin is one in a million. I have only had one crying baby in my game before, they don’t come up often, funnily enough when I eventually aged her up, her social or attention was very low, so I guess they want more cuddles than the other babies
@all. I am hoping to play soon. Just busy keeping an eye on my rusks baking in the oven and then I need to cut and dry them soon. Will load my game after that for sure, since hubby is working night shift tonight, so when he leaves for work at 5 then its Simming time

@all, I am heading in game for a bit
She is the ninth baby and also wearing a starwars outfit LOL. (will change it next time I load my game hahahaha)
Thank goodness there are no more grudges. The last patch did fixed that.
I haven't had the plant to seedling glitch since the last update. The vertical gardens are broken for me. Can't even harvest the meat wall.
If I am playing a game where my sims don't have babies or toddlers I visit other households that do as well.
@carlimact
I have my offspring's dads always dropping by or calling and asking to drop by. Geoffrey is the only Landgrab I like. It's not surprising he is dropping by since he is Family Oriented.
I will be adding your Mystery DNA Donors to the game in about two updates from now. They are saved to my library. Can't wait to see what you made!
@mcrudd
I love not knowing what DNA Mystic's Offspring might have. It makes the game much more interesting. I also have the DNA Donor Reveal after the baby is born so I can’t cheat if they end up with very oddball genetics as they age up.
Irine is adorable. I tried to dress her in CL CAS items since she is an Animal Enthusiast. I will probably move her dad to Henford-on-Bagley so she can live there when she becomes a YA. I can't help but feel that the name Henford-on-Bagley sounds like a bad adult film or some Yuppy Clothing Store. I know European towns have strange sounding names but still Henford-on-Bagley...weird.
When my teens come home from school in bad mood I send them on a jog to clear their mind. 2 Sim Hours later they are much better!
Lol I love the Star Wars Onesies! Congrats on Baby Holly!
@all
I haven't been able to play today. Hopefully I will be able to play tomorrow. Have a good one!
It is great to read everyone's progress and learn about some features. Pity about the family portrait though, hope they bring it back.
Trying out with this sim here~
I even thought of trying out with the cottage living but just raising the two sets of twins brings me a headache.
Funny thing is when I restart with her, I forgot to check that she gave birth to the last baby she was pregnant with.
Going through life of a unversity student with her while waiting for the baby to come out :D
When you said:
“That is me for now, will have to go fetch my daughter at bus stop its pouring with rain right now
I wondered if your daughter plays The Sims 4. If she does you could show up with an umbrella and act like you are having routing issues because of the umbrella. Start by getting out of the car. Open up the umbrella and face the car door. Close the umbrella. Close the car door. Open the umbrella and head towards your daughter. Close the umbrella then open it again. Stand still for 10 seconds and close the umbrella again. Wave at your daughter say Sul Sul and open the umbrella again. Wait 5 seconds. Close the umbrella again then open it up right after. Ask if she is ready to go home. After she answers close the umbrella and open up again. Wait 5 seconds then Head towards the car. Close the umbrella. Open the passenger door and open the umbrella then close it again. Wait 5 seconds then open the umbrella and move to let your daughter in the car. Close the umbrella and open it again. Wait 5 seconds then close the umbrella and the passenger door. Open the umbrella and head towards the driver’s door. Close the umbrella and open it again. Open the car door try to sit down then give the blocked path wave. Close the umbrella sit in the car. Wait 5 seconds close the door then say “I guess I was having an umbrella routing glitch” in a completely normal way.
@mettachae
Welcome to the thread! Can’t wait to see your updates!
Welcome to our thread
@TeeSea Gosh you had me spit my coffee over my laptop hahahahaha about the whole umbrella thing, that is so true. I rather have my sims get soaked than watch them struggle with their umbrellas. I am glad you are enjoying your secret dna daddies. I might do that in the future as well. Thanks for the tip about teens jogging, I usually sent them to soak in lavender LOL
@all Sorry that I have been missing in action. I was busy for the last 6 hours making an invisible animal shed. Gosh it gave me some drama's but I succeeded in the end and is super happy about it. Now I am ready to hop into my game and see what everyone is up to. I think most have completed their aspirations, but I am waiting for their grades to come up to an A before I can age them up. I know that Stacy just had her newest little baby Holly, and that she wore a Starwars onesie, so I will quickly pop another random outfit in and hopefully this one will be more like a sweet little Holly LOL
Using a base house by leahlaz, a great base for me for now :)
You are not a full member yet so can't post images. Let me see if I can help
I can then repost them for you and the pic will show
and then stole some cake hahahaha, have to bake another one now
I'm glad I could make you laugh! I hope your laptop is okay.
Another Tip: Kids who come home in a tense mood can be helped by a few sim hours of "Playing with Emotion" using toys or instruments.
Also school projects go way faster if you have more than one sim working at a time on the same project. I can get all three grade school projects done for one child in one sim evening by having 2 other sims help.
Ellie is so pretty!
Why would you want an invisible animal shed?
@mettachae
I will like and awesome any post I see from you to help you become a full member. In fact we did that for another member not that long ago. I know it's a bummer not being able to post BBCode. I have been signed up with the forums since Sims 3 but since I never posted until a few years back. I ended up not being able to post BBCode once they changed the rules. It was super annoying but I kept posting, answering polls and regularly participating on the forums and soon I was a full member. Keep posting and you'll reach full member in no time.
@all
I am off to play now. I wish you all the best!
Year 2 Week 8
Family Photo
Sunday
Dior started out Sunday by working out on the treadmill.
Edwin was playing the violin in his room.
Forest was playing video games in his room.
And Hannah was also playing video games in her room.
It's Irine's Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Mystic spent some time potty training Irine.
Dior was practicing her DJ Skill upstairs.
Irine talked with her stuffed bunny.
Hannah played chess with Brendan who had come by to visit.
Mystic wanted to find out what would happen if she tried to Take the Cake from MooGu.
Mystic knew being immortal there was no chance of her dying. What she didn't count on is being covered in Cowplant Slime after MooGu spit her out.
Irine played in the backyard for most of the afternoon.
After some dinner Mystic put Irine to bed.
As promised Mystic took Dior to the Foxbury Campus. She gave her a tour and then they viewed Foxbury's Statue.
Before heading home they took a selfie together.
Mystic helped Dior with a high school project.
Edwin was experimenting on the chemistry table in his room.
Forest was practicing his typing.
And Hannah was doing some chemistry research in her room.
Monday
Mystic sent out her term paper.
Then she played with Irine in the nursery till her first class.
Mystics first class started at 9:30am.
When she returned home at 11am Irine wanted to learn her numbers.
So Mystic taught Irine numbers until it was time for class.
Mystic left for next class started at 1:30pm.
She returned home at 3pm with just enough time to greet her children coming home from school before heading to her 3rd class for the day.
While the older kids played video games Irine was watching her siblings trying to learn about her family.
When Mystic returned home from her last class she fed Irine.
The older kids were doing their homework.
And Mystic tucked Irine in for the night.
Dior headed downstairs to workout.
Edwin danced to the radio in the family room.
Forest was perfecting his typing in his room.
And Hannah was making Emotion Potions in her room.
At some point all the kids were dancing in the living room. At around 12am Mystic sent everyone to bed.
Tuesday
All the kids wanted to see if they could spot any morning stars so they all went to use the observatories in the backyard.
Mystic did some yoga before class.
Irine was getting herself ready for the day.
Mystic left for class at 8am followed by her kids leaving for school.
She had her last class for the term and was home by 9:30am.
When Mystic was younger she had heard legends of a country side town called Henford-on-Bagley. The roads had been blocked for decades and have only recently been re-opened. Mystic felt drawn to this quaint country town. She was wandering around with Irine when she met a older fellow by the name of Ian McMillian. He seemed familiar to her she couldn't figure out why. He invited Mystic and Irine to visit his farm.
When they reached his farm he told her that he knew her mother Lorna Willows when they were young kids. Lorna had in fact lived in Henford-on-Bagley until she became pregnant. Then he dropped a huge bomb. Ian was her father! At first Mystic was skeptical because she was born a Spellcaster and Ian was not one. Apparently Ian was a Spellcaster in his youth but wasn't really into it. A week before Lorna left Henford-on-Bagley she had asked Ian to donate some DNA so she could have a child. Lorna knew Ian was attracted to men and she never wanted to marry so it seemed like a fitting plan for both. It was always the plan for Lorna to bring her child to visit her Dad but then the roads were blocked from a cave in.
Mystic couldn't believe she met her father! She was so excited and they became instant besties.
Ian McMillian - Mystic's Father
Mystic took Irine to her mother's home so she could chat with her about her dad. Irine was nearly knocked over by an over excited Captain Whitaker.
Mystic asked Lorna if Henford-on-Bagley was where she grew up. Lorna nodded yes. Then Mystic asked her about why she moved. Lorna said that at the time people in Henford-on-Bagley were not as welcoming to outsiders and she wanted to see the world.
Then she asked if Ian McMillian was her father. Lorna was quite surprised that Mystic had found this out. Mystic explained that the roads to Henford-on-Bagley have been reopened and she met Ian when she was wandering the countryside. Lorna was happy Mystic finally knew her true origins. Mystic told her Mom all about her visit.
After a good chat with Lorna Mystic headed home to make a Homestyle cooking vlog.
She headed upstairs to edit the vlog and post it to website.
Irine was playing in the backyard when her siblings returned home from school.
The kids started on their homework.
Mystic got her grades! A+'s!
Dior needed to spend time alone so she went to Movers and Shakers Gym in Willow Creek. She did some boxing.
Then went for a jog on the treadmill.
When Dior arrived home she used her DJ Skills to play music for her family while they danced!
Wednesday
Happy Graduation Mystic!
The kids did their homework after school and Irine was watching her siblings again.
Mystic enrolled into Brichester again.
This time it's all Drama!
Irine reached all her toddler milestones just after 8:30pm.
Make a wish!
Happy Birthday Irine!
Mystic helped Irine with her homework and sent everyone to bed.
Mystic then sat on the back porch and did her homework in crisp late night air.
Thursday
When Mystic woke up it was raining. She headed outside and used the Weather Machine to change the weather to warm and sunny.
By the time everyone was leaving for school it was warm and sunny.
This of course caused the youngest kids to dilly dally.
Mystic has apparently taken enough skill classes to get her Mixology Certificate.
Another achievement to hang on the wall.
Mystic headed over to the Mystery DNA Donor's home and asked Kaydence Evans if she would be next.
Kaydence was more than happy to be next.
Mystic headed home and prepared for her next class at 1:30pm.
Mystic returned home at the same time as her kids.
They all sat down and did their homework.

Edwin worked out on the treadmill.
Dior went for a jog around the neighborhood.
Forest played on the Monkey Bars.
Hannah honed her chess skill.
Irine was making crafts in her room.
And Mystic was getting a head start on her term paper.
Friday
Mystic replaced the Koi in the Pond with Sharks! She loves them.
She accidently slipped into pond.
Mystic pulled herself out drenched but not hurt.
The kids left for school at 8am as usual.
Before class Mystic summoned Bonehilda to help with the household chores while she was at class. Apparently even the Paranormal Plane know of Mystic Fame.
Mystic left for her 11am class.
She returned home with just enough time to grab a snack and then leave for her 1:30pm class.
Everyone returned home from school at 3pm.
Time to do your homework!
Later the family went to the Festival of Lights in Mt. Komorebi. They all made a wish.
Then they danced around the bonfire.
Mystic took the kids to Sticky Rice in Magnolia Promenade. They all enjoyed some ramen dishes.
After returning home everyone settled in the Family Room to watch Action TV. It was a great family evening.
Saturday
Happy Arts in Autumn Day! Mystic took the family to The Victorian Arts Center in Forgotten Hollow.
