The twins that won't stop crying!



I had to restart my game into a brand new save, as the acting career was malfunctioning. He had already won three Best Performance Accolades and had another gig lined up and ready to go. Then he didn't get the opportunity for me to Join or Send Alone. So, I restarted taking my Sims and their siblings from the post-graduate Uni save I have. Placed them all in their houses in HoB in a brand new save, as well as their parents. Odd that the lots in the original save were in the other worlds … At any rate, the main couple's second child turned out to be twin girls again. No surprise there, I used MCCC to make it so trying to recapture what once was. What did surprise me is that these two girls are just as cranky and colicky as they were in the previous save! I'm living a nightmare, which ended two days earlier than scheduled. Yes, I aged them up to Toddlers.

Their Daddy did his best to soothe them:

Their older brother, just a Toddler himself, tried to help by reading a book to them. (No, he can't really read but he's quite a storyteller, just the same.)


Daddy came home one evening from the Studios where he recorded a new album to find Harmony playing in the indoor tent in her brother's room. All three Toddlers enjoy the tent. Erik thought he'd play along by pretending to be a monster. Sadly, that scared Harmony witless. Then she got angry.

Then she gave her Daddy the what-for, which was mostly babble, but Erik understood enough to know he's really made her upset.

"Sorry, Baby Girl, I was only trying to play."


All for now. Just a brief sampling of my Cantrell household.
