Hi! I've been stalking this thread a couple of weeks and love seeing everyone's stories and sims!
My sims didn't do anything but wait around while I build them a bigger house with a ground floor nursery so there's no reason to wrestle with toddlers sitting at the edge of stairs. I think I made it too big because I got tired of decorating. I still have all 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a big family room and the back yard to take care of. Ugh! Putting that way makes it sound totally unfinished. The structural work, front yard, garage, home gym, kitchen, foyer, dining room, living room, study, porches, and a couple of hallways are done. I tried to approximate a craftsman style for the downstairs, but might diverge from that for the bedrooms to better suit the inhabitants.
@cwaddell Mister Wrought is nearing 130 now himself. I found a quite pleasant-looking fellow to marry my equally pleasant-looking heir, but I'm not adding another person to the household until Mister Wrought passes on, which he is continuing to fail to do. There's only so many novels of dubious morality he can write before the system crashes under the load of the books.
@TadOlson I have the Nraas mod and I did *think* about offing him artificially to save everyone the trouble of-- well, continuing to see him prancing around the house, being a generally good chap and enjoyable company-- but it just seems so wrong. He's my very first Sim in this neighborhood and he should have a right proper death before his urn is ceremonially stuffed away in the family mausoleum.
@emorrill Thanks! Although it isn't entirely one story. There are 2 bedrooms and the big family room upstairs for the children who can walk themselves up. The 2nd floor could be taken off and then the gym could be re-purposed to a bedroom for 4br/4ba on one level though.
With my sims 4 family again today (slightly addicted to them )
I decided to give the kids new makeovers, as A) Cammie aged into a YA (and Jim aged into an Adult, but I haven't done his make over yet) and B ) I was finding it really difficult to tell the twins apart.
So here is the old Cammie (love her chin dimple , this is what she looked like when she grew up (oh wow, exactly the same )
And then here is the new Cammie in her everyday. I gave her a fresh sort of look, blouse, floaty shorts, etc
And then a quick peek at her party wear, or at least her face (I tried to get it when her eyes were closed, to show her eye makeup, but I kinda failed )
Next is Pepper...
She has purple hair... She looks very bad-🐸🐸🐸🐸 - love it!!
And then finally Lauren whose all dainty and pretty
I decided to play as Cheese Sandwich. (I really didn't like that the game put him in the military career. This was before I installed the Register Mod, so I had to fix that. He is a musical and PARTY pony! )
Does he look familiar to any of you? I mentioned who voiced his character earlier.
Anyway, here is a look at his humble abode:
(I actually built this one)
First floor:
Second floor (see the Special FX machine? He likes to keep the party going all night as well...like some other pony... ):
On this Friday evening, Cheese decided to finally make things official with his secret crush Pinkie Pie. They have been giving each other hints for a while. Pinkie is always a happy, excited and energetic pony lady, thinking about her friends and throwing parties for them often that no one really expected she would have a romantic interest. Cheese was new to town, so not many people (ponies) knew him yet.
(I am a part of the fan base that totally thinks these two ponies should hook it up )
So Cheese called her up on his phone.
"Hi Cheese!" Pinkie said on the other line, "I would LOVE to come by! But...I just got off work and I'm in my grubby kitchen clothes."
Cheese smiled. "It's no problem Pinkie," he said. "I'm sure you still look beautiful."
Pinkie blushed, "You're sweet Cheese. See you soon!"
Once she arrived at his home, they couldn't seem to keep their eyes off each other.
"So," Pinkie began, "we are alone..."
"Yeah," said Cheese in a dreamy tone of voice.
"We can throw one heck of a party together...we are the two Super Duper Party People (Ponies)!"
"We sure are," he said taking her hands (hoofs). "You know Pinkie," he began:
"You've always been my inspiration for becoming a super party person (pony)."
"I know," Pinkie said, inching closer to him, "I was so shocked when you told me!"
"I've traveled all over Equestria doing parties for hundreds of people (ponies), but...I had to return to Ponyville. Not just to help you plan Rainbow Dash's Birthday/Anniversary Bash...but so I could see you again."
"Oh Cheese," Pinkie squealed, looking away with bright red cheeks.
"What?" he asked, stroking her hair.
Pinkie couldn't seem to get the words out. "It's just," she started, "I've met so many men (stallions) and made friends with them, but I've never felt this way about any of them."
Now Cheese was the one blushing. "Well, I feel very lucky then," he said and he couldn't help but kiss her.
Pinkie felt like she was going to BURST! Her heart was fluttering like crazy! And if that wasn't enough, Cheese then whispered into her ear:
"Will you be my very special somebody (somepony)?"
"YES!" Pinkie squealed, giving him a big hug and kissing him back.
"I'm SO happy!" she said in between kisses.
"Me too," Cheese said. "I've waited so long for you."
Well, you can guess where things went from there.
Oh yes, the sparks were flying!
Yeah...that went on a couple of times. lol Then they were worn out.
Later in the night Cheese cuddled with Pinkie and whispered in her ear, "I love you Pinkie."
He was pretty sure she heard him.
The next morning, he decided to get up a little early and cook Pinkie a righteous breakfast.
WAFFLES! Yum!
While he was cooking, Pinkie had a rude awakening from Cheese's radio alarm.
"Oh 🐸🐸🐸🐸!" Cheese thought hearing it from downstairs, "I forgot to turn that off!"
Pinkie is ALWAYS a very happy pony lady, with a smile on her face, but things like this make her MAD!
"Dang radio! Waking me up from my beauty sleep!" grumbled Pinkie. But then, she smelled waffles!
More to come!
SIDE PICS:
I had Cheese head to Sugar Cube Corner and blow some bubbles. He blew some out through his nose and check out the pony lady's face!! LOL!
(Does he look a lot like Weird Al in that pic or is it just me? )
Check out Marty Lucky's cutie mark:
Yeah...we know what the lucky REALLY means in his name! lol
@emorrill, the angry human Pinkie and the angry pony Pinkie are uncannily similar! Also, your version of Cheese Sandwich has hair that looks like a mane!
My third generation has arrived - seven more to go! This is Desmond Bluejay in Connie's lap:
@emorrill, the angry human Pinkie and the angry pony Pinkie are uncannily similar! Also, your version of Cheese Sandwich has hair that looks like a mane!
Thanks @PalmArrow I was thinking the same thing with Pinkie.
@TadOlson You have such patience. I don't think I could be able to put up only one wall at a time for my sims' house! I've never done a proper legacy either. Your style of playing through history is really neat.
@PixelsSquared Oh! You changed your forum avatar! Great Halloween look.
@thuggishsplicer Thank you. I'm looking forward to your next update with the time traveling brothers. I wanted to mention last time I posted, your sims reminded me of The Blues Brothers. For some reason, I just got a feeling from your story that the brothers were on a "mission from God."
@PalmArrow Loved your pic of Connie gazing at her doctor husband. Perfect! And congrats on baby Desmond. In my game, that was the first time I had tried doing a Sims dungeon. I kept it real simple, but it was still a learning experience linking up torches, doors, traps, statues, switches, stairs, floor plates--all in just those two small rooms. I was surprised it all worked! I'd linked dive wells before, so that was easy.
@Peach77 I understand why you'd want to make a ranch style house for your sims with toddlers. I'm having floor issues with my toddlers too. Anytime I want them on another floor, they have to be carried. Same problem with puppies in one of my games. They can't use stairs either.
@Letchy15 I like the new looks for your sims. Are the hairstyles vanilla Sims 4 or is it CC?
@emorril Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie look good together. Great pics. I like the comparison of Pinkie's anger, both in sims and in the show.

I'm still working on the next part of Anabel and Elliot's Hidden Cove Caper (should be the final). But here are a few shots of Elliot's personal adventure using the Wave Station.
@PixelsSquared -Great update!Great picture! @PalmArrow -They would've been startled if they'd been awake to notice.Great update! @Peach77 -Hi there!Great update!Great picture! @Lady Llewellyn -I would let elders die off if the town was getting too crowded to make room for babies and toddlers to live. @Letchy15 -Those sims look great. @emorrill -Great update! @lanlyn -I just started it and it's more realistic that they had to build a little at a time though it's the work shop being built.They'll live there while their house is expanded.Great pictures!
Deery Meadows-Spring-1621-Town Construction.
The town of Deery Meadows has started construction on a small park with a lodge house on the lot.
First, Blake started out by playing video games before his classes started. His exams are today, so this should be a great way for him to relieve a little tension before class. As you can tell, I also ended up changing Blake's outfit. I only changed his top, but I prefer this one now. I also thickened his eyebrows a bit.
He's a vampire who likes dark and gloomy things, but he still hates getting rained on...
Well, that happy vampire run must mean that he passed his exams. In fact, he passed with flying colors. If you're wondering about Elena, she did too!
After class, they decided to meet up at the bowling alley instead.
@lanlyn I'm a cc addict, and so I think all of those hairs were cc, but the sims 4 hairs that come with the game are actually really very nice too - for example Cammie's hair when she was a teen, Jims hair and Hollie's hair is all vanilla.
I don't know why, but recently I'm just not "playing" the sims. I've been making sims, or building houses, etc.
Here's a house I did yesterday, I'm not great with the sims 4, as it's still all relatively new to me, but I did my best
The front (don't mind the awful lack of vegetation, completely forgot about things like that - except the trees)
And a back view with a massive pool, and unfortunately I don't yet have sun loungers, so I had to go with cute chairs, but one day... one day
Sky view of the downstairs - hall, living room, kitchen, dining room and 2 bathrooms (although I need to add another shower somewhere).
Better angle...
Kitchen - blacks, greens, whites.
Living room - greens, blues, whites.
Dining room - pinks, whites, browns (sorry for the awful angle, best I could do )
Sky room of the main family bathroom - yellows, greys, browns.
Then a sky view of the second floor - hall, the twins room, Cammie's room with an ensuite, Jim and Hollies room with a balcony.
Twins - pinks, blues, whites.
Cammie - pinks, purples, yellows.
Jim and Hollie - reds, blacks, golds.
The family haven't moved in yet (not sure if they'll ever be able to) as it's 70 something thousand simoleans, and we're struggling just to add a second bathroom to our house right now. Maybe one day, eventually, but not now.
Ok, this was a lot of fun for me to put together. But I apologize for the length! There's one more final part after this. I'm afraid I got carried away with my own drama.
The Hidden Cove Caper: A Sunlit Tides Honeymoon Part 3
After Elliot and Anabel recovered from their ordeal exploring diving wells and locked rooms, Elliot decided it was time to talk to the chief of police in ST. He had to be careful how he put his questions because Leo Wahine wasn't giving out any secrets. The guy was definitely protecting his sister Alana Kahale. Leo also told Elliot that if he joined the force in ST, he'd be partnered with Silas Allender.
🐸🐸🐸🐸 if that would happen! Elliot figured Silas would be assigned to keep an eye on him. The man was mixed up in all this, no matter what his original reason for coming to ST was! There was a lot of money to be had in smuggling, and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Elliot was happy to gather dirt on Silas.
Anabel heard all about Leo and Silas. After Elliot filed a report on Silas with outside authorities, she got a call from Silas asking her to join him for some fun. What arrogance! Well, she'd accept the invitation and do a little spying herself! Elliot overheard the call and told her he didn't want her hanging out with that rat.
"Elliot, it's daytime, in a public place. I'll be careful not to let him get a upper hand...I'll out-charm him!"
"I'll give you two hours, Bel, and then you better meet me at the dive hole or I'm coming after you!"
Silas seemed a perfect gentleman. Even talked about his technology degree and work on the ST force. But Anabel was uneasy. There was just something in his eyes...the way he looked at her. She was glad to tell him goodbye.
In the meantime, Elliot called on Tenika and invited her to the dive site. He really did want to talk to her about kelp. It was something he'd been thinking about for a while now, nothing to do with the smuggling, but everything to do with Anabel.
Elliot was never so relieved to see Anabel as when she swam out to meet him soon after Tenika left for work.
The two of them checked both caves and discovered that all the containers had been removed.
Someone must have found out that they'd been in those secret rooms at the Lair!
That night, they knew for sure they were becoming targets. A burglar showed up at their house!
Anabel happened to be in the bungalow next to the main house when the thief showed up. There was no alarm at the bungalow, so Elliot didn't hear anything when the thief entered there instead of the big house. Anabel managed to duck outside and hide from the robber, calling Elliot on her cell phone.
"Bel, get back here! This is a set up! Stay away from that punk! She could be armed. I'm coming down to get you, but head here now!"
Anabel ran back to the main house, calling 911 on her way. Elliot gathered her to him. She was all that mattered. He could care less about a robbery.
But what he really wanted to know, now that Anabel was safe, was how the law would handle the situation. That would give him a good idea about the level of cover up. He understood completely when a cop arrived and he saw the man give a nod to the burglar making a quick getaway.
"Sorry, Mr Nest, we'll get the thief next time."
Elliot was disgusted. "Buddy, there won't BE any next time."
The following morning, Elliot told Anabel that he was going to finish this investigation, and then they were going home. Tonight was the night! He was going to break into the criminal headquarters and raid the place. The best he could hope for would be a surprise attack to cripple the smuggling ring's activities. Outside authorities would step in if he could supply them with enough proof.
Anabel wasn't going to let Elliot handle all this on his own! He wanted to keep her protected, but she was stronger than he thought she was! And she knew just how she could help. Meeting Alana at the beach, Anabel put on her girly act and told Alana all about the break-in. Oh, how frightened she was! She watched Alana smirk, and wanted to punch her, but she only opened her eyes wider and tried to sound trembly.
"Elliot is going to take me out to dinner tonight, to help me get my mind off the robbery! We're going to the theater too."
"Ahh," said Alana. "It'll be good for you two to remember you're on honeymoon." She smiled her crocodile smile.
So when Elliot and Anabel sneaked out of the theater later that night, nobody was the wiser. They changed clothes in the dark at the bottom of the Lair hill.
And quickly made their way to the top.
The Lair was lit up, but it was quiet. No guards. No one was expecting them. Now it was time to stage their own break-in!
The Hidden Cove Caper: A Sunlit Tides Honeymoon Finale
The first thing Elliot and Anabel had to do was set up the blasting tubes to break open the Lair door. Elliot had no way of knowing what the electronic code was for the door, and he didn't have the equipment to hack into it. He was suppose to be on vacation! Well, they'd just have to do this the old-fashioned way. He smiled to himself. Just like old times!
After lighting the fuses, Elliot called out to Anabel, "Run!"
But she panicked and froze on the spot! "Bel! Run, babe!" Elliot rushed back to her.
But Anabel finally turned and made it to his side.
Just in time!
"My God! That was close, Bel!"
"I'm so sorry, Elliot."
"You're ok! Let's get you hidden in the trees before I head inside the place."
"This shouldn't take long, Bel. I need to find some evidence. There's probably a couple of thugs in there, but I imagine they won't put up much of a fight after seeing that blast!"
Elliot ran back to the building, past hot rock and metal. The Lair's door was completely blown off its hinges, just as he knew it would be. Directly inside, the main entry room was also in shambles. A couple of lackeys were hiding and wailing in the back, but he quickly got them subdued. It wasn't his place to make arrests. He just needed proof of smuggling, photos and paperwork. And those, he managed to find easily enough.
Anabel's talk with Alana earlier in the day had put the criminal head off her guard. The lady was way too confident in her position in this town. Their raid was going to be a success! Elliot led Anabel to the back of the hill where the hidden rooms were. She was busy using the phone to dispatch the info he'd found. In the meantime, Elliot found the ground panel and activated the staircase.
They needed to get away quickly because the criminal heads and dirty cops were probably already on their way up the hill. He was sure there were alarms set up. But the fastest way for them to go was through the water tunnel. Alana would never be able to get boats to the cove fast enough to catch them. But still, they needed to hurry--just in case.
The last time they'd been here, Elliot had inspected this torch, thinking it might open a door. But Anabel had distracted him when she found the door herself. Later, he remembered hearing a clanking sound and a rush of water when he'd tugged on the torch handle. He had then realized the lever was used to reverse the water current in the tunnel--to flow down instead of up. Amazing! They were going to ride the current down to the hidden cove.
After what Anabel had told him about Silas' technology background and with the added search he himself had done, Elliot felt sure the tunnel mechanisms were Silas' work. He just hoped he was right about the cove not being guarded.
Not a soul in sight! But that might not last long. They needed to get to the house and out of town as quickly as possible.
Anabel was so glad that the condo they'd rented included a speed boat. They hadn't bothered to use the expensive car in the garage or the boat before now, but tonight, they needed this boat! Their own sailboat couldn't have done the job!
The condo was a welcome sight!
Though the beach was dark, dawn would soon be coming. No problem. After a quick change of clothes, Elliot and Anabel would be gone from Sunlit Tides.
But there was still time for a kiss under the full moon. After all, it WAS their honeymoon!
@TadOlson I'm looking foward to seeing that park. It's amazing that you're expanding your city now.
Thanks for the tips on worlds, too!
@emorrill Pinkie and Cheese seem to be a great couple! They've got so much things in common. I like how the machine threw paper while they were in bed. lol
@lanlyn I'll try to listen to The Blue Brothers song later. It's really funny. I also think my sims resemble them somehow. o.O
Your update may have been long, but I had a blast! I thought that Skull Cave was CC, but it's nice to know that it's part of ST. That made me want to buy that world (but first, I need to receive my copy of Supernatural. If without it, my game is crazy, imagine when I get it). I also love how you worked with the burglary situation.
@Letchy15 That house looks cool! I like buying the bare building and decorate it in game while my sims are getting the money. At least they can live in a good house. I also like the way you decorated the house, deciding the color scheme beforehand.
Now, it's time for my update. Here's just a quick one, I'm organizing the picture and trying to upgrade my writing skills for the legacy topic.
The story revolves around Egypt now. Shane and Tristan want to cure their "Another" father in order to be able to have his help. Another Shane has been hanging around with them because it was his mains goal to save his dad (actually, I've already done it three times and it's cool to do it with some help).
"We should remember to bring better cars next time."
It's been very dangerous and luckly nobody has passed out. I'm currently doing those MoruCorp quests. They can spend 5 days in Egypt, but I hope they'll be able to spend more. So far, They've got only 2/5 pieces of the sarcophagus.
Besides adventuring, they had room for romance.
Shane has found love in the desert. He's going out with Youssef Nagi. I guess it'll be just a fling.
Another Shane has a boyfriend in Twinbrook and wanted to propose marriage. Garett Reynolds is his name and he's got two siblings. His sister is living with an alien. (There are seven aliens in this Twinbrook. The father, Zatolib, went out with five girls -including the mother of this family- and had children with all of them. He joined the political career and married Sophia Carlton because she had twins).
This character will be important in the future. He's the most handsome sim I've got. His name is Ethan McIntyre. Here, he was spending a few days at the Madbouli's house.
Jade attended her prom. She'll get the party animal trait once she ages up. She danced a lot at her prom but she didn't find that special person...
While both Shanes are getting along well, the two Tristans hate each other. Or should I say that Evil Tristan hates Tristan.
I've got more screenshots, but I need to organize stuff in order to prepare a better post for my blog and the legacy topic. By the way, I need opinions. I have a Vial of Bottled Genie and I was thinking of using it. I can't decided which Shane would be better as a genie or if I should have this occult in the family this way. =S
@Letchy15, I like how you decorated the rooms in your house!
@lanlyn , I loved your story! Did the burglar just happen to break into their house that night?
@thuggishsplicer , your story is excellent and funny! (I love the pictures of Evil Tristan being angry at Tristan, and of Youssef's girlfriend being entertained by his kissing another man.)
@s1mszzang : Aluna Island looks great. I've downloaded it and will play in the future. Hope it doesn't require ShowTime or Into the Future since I don't have those EPs. Would love to see pictures of your game in that world.
@lanlyn : Awesome story. Hope Elliot and Bel have more crimes to solve.
In my game, little Desmond aged up to toddler. He is too young to be aware of it, but he had a dramatic birthday party.
His mother's evil ex-husband, Samuel McIrish, came to the party uninvited.
Desmond's father Paul has had a wish to propose a truce to Samuel ever since he stole his wife Connie. Now would be a good time to do so. Connie is excited about it.
Paul proposes a truce using his best sad puppy face. Samuel just flexes his muscles in response.
It didn't work. They are even worse enemies than they were before.
But, on the plus side, at least Samuel hasn't beaten Paul up.
(Paul's sister Eleanor saved the day by starting to play guitar. All the guests including Samuel gathered around her to listen, and Samuel just went home afterwards, while everyone else stayed for the cake.)
@lanlyn AMAZING updates! You are a great story teller! And the pictures you take are awesome too.
Thanks @thuggishsplicer , nice story update as well. @PalmArrow poor Paul Some people will just always be jerks (even in the Sim world) and there's nothing anyone can do to change that. @PixelsSquared I enjoyed your update as well. Your sims look so realistic! @TadOlson I've noticed that all your sims have a certain "look" to them. Mods? Custom skintones?
I know I missed tagging some of the rest of you, but I have read your updates and they are so fun! Keep them coming!

My sims didn't do anything but wait around while I build them a bigger house with a ground floor nursery so there's no reason to wrestle with toddlers sitting at the edge of stairs.

@PalmArrow -They would've been startled if they'd been awake to notice.Great update!
@Peach77 -Hi there!Great update!Great picture!
@Lady Llewellyn -I would let elders die off if the town was getting too crowded to make room for babies and toddlers to live.
@Letchy15 -Those sims look great.
@emorrill -Great update!
@lanlyn -I just started it and it's more realistic that they had to build a little at a time though it's the work shop being built.They'll live there while their house is expanded.Great pictures!
Deery Meadows-Spring-1621-Town Construction.
The town of Deery Meadows has started construction on a small park with a lodge house on the lot.
First, Blake started out by playing video games before his classes started. His exams are today, so this should be a great way for him to relieve a little tension before class. As you can tell, I also ended up changing Blake's outfit. I only changed his top, but I prefer this one now. I also thickened his eyebrows a bit.
He's a vampire who likes dark and gloomy things, but he still hates getting rained on...
Well, that happy vampire run must mean that he passed his exams. In fact, he passed with flying colors. If you're wondering about Elena, she did too!
After class, they decided to meet up at the bowling alley instead.
After a long day, they cuddled up in bed.

@PixelsSquared , beautiful panorama of the University town!
I don't know why, but recently I'm just not "playing" the sims. I've been making sims, or building houses, etc.
Here's a house I did yesterday, I'm not great with the sims 4, as it's still all relatively new to me, but I did my best
The front (don't mind the awful lack of vegetation, completely forgot about things like that - except the trees)
And a back view with a massive pool, and unfortunately I don't yet have sun loungers, so I had to go with cute chairs, but one day... one day
Sky view of the downstairs - hall, living room, kitchen, dining room and 2 bathrooms (although I need to add another shower somewhere).
Better angle...
Kitchen - blacks, greens, whites.
Living room - greens, blues, whites.
Dining room - pinks, whites, browns (sorry for the awful angle, best I could do
Sky room of the main family bathroom - yellows, greys, browns.
Then a sky view of the second floor - hall, the twins room, Cammie's room with an ensuite, Jim and Hollies room with a balcony.
Twins - pinks, blues, whites.
Cammie - pinks, purples, yellows.
Jim and Hollie - reds, blacks, golds.
The family haven't moved in yet (not sure if they'll ever be able to) as it's 70 something thousand simoleans, and we're struggling just to add a second bathroom to our house right now. Maybe one day, eventually, but not now.
The Hidden Cove Caper: A Sunlit Tides Honeymoon
Part 3
After Elliot and Anabel recovered from their ordeal exploring diving wells and locked rooms, Elliot decided it was time to talk to the chief of police in ST. He had to be careful how he put his questions because Leo Wahine wasn't giving out any secrets. The guy was definitely protecting his sister Alana Kahale. Leo also told Elliot that if he joined the force in ST, he'd be partnered with Silas Allender.
🐸🐸🐸🐸 if that would happen! Elliot figured Silas would be assigned to keep an eye on him. The man was mixed up in all this, no matter what his original reason for coming to ST was! There was a lot of money to be had in smuggling, and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Elliot was happy to gather dirt on Silas.
Anabel heard all about Leo and Silas. After Elliot filed a report on Silas with outside authorities, she got a call from Silas asking her to join him for some fun. What arrogance! Well, she'd accept the invitation and do a little spying herself! Elliot overheard the call and told her he didn't want her hanging out with that rat.
"Elliot, it's daytime, in a public place. I'll be careful not to let him get a upper hand...I'll out-charm him!"
"I'll give you two hours, Bel, and then you better meet me at the dive hole or I'm coming after you!"
Silas seemed a perfect gentleman. Even talked about his technology degree and work on the ST force. But Anabel was uneasy. There was just something in his eyes...the way he looked at her. She was glad to tell him goodbye.
In the meantime, Elliot called on Tenika and invited her to the dive site. He really did want to talk to her about kelp. It was something he'd been thinking about for a while now, nothing to do with the smuggling, but everything to do with Anabel.
Elliot was never so relieved to see Anabel as when she swam out to meet him soon after Tenika left for work.
The two of them checked both caves and discovered that all the containers had been removed.
Someone must have found out that they'd been in those secret rooms at the Lair!
That night, they knew for sure they were becoming targets. A burglar showed up at their house!
Anabel happened to be in the bungalow next to the main house when the thief showed up. There was no alarm at the bungalow, so Elliot didn't hear anything when the thief entered there instead of the big house. Anabel managed to duck outside and hide from the robber, calling Elliot on her cell phone.
"Bel, get back here! This is a set up! Stay away from that punk! She could be armed. I'm coming down to get you, but head here now!"
Anabel ran back to the main house, calling 911 on her way. Elliot gathered her to him. She was all that mattered. He could care less about a robbery.
But what he really wanted to know, now that Anabel was safe, was how the law would handle the situation. That would give him a good idea about the level of cover up. He understood completely when a cop arrived and he saw the man give a nod to the burglar making a quick getaway.
"Sorry, Mr Nest, we'll get the thief next time."
Elliot was disgusted. "Buddy, there won't BE any next time."
The following morning, Elliot told Anabel that he was going to finish this investigation, and then they were going home. Tonight was the night! He was going to break into the criminal headquarters and raid the place. The best he could hope for would be a surprise attack to cripple the smuggling ring's activities. Outside authorities would step in if he could supply them with enough proof.
Anabel wasn't going to let Elliot handle all this on his own! He wanted to keep her protected, but she was stronger than he thought she was! And she knew just how she could help. Meeting Alana at the beach, Anabel put on her girly act and told Alana all about the break-in. Oh, how frightened she was! She watched Alana smirk, and wanted to punch her, but she only opened her eyes wider and tried to sound trembly.
"Elliot is going to take me out to dinner tonight, to help me get my mind off the robbery! We're going to the theater too."
"Ahh," said Alana. "It'll be good for you two to remember you're on honeymoon." She smiled her crocodile smile.
So when Elliot and Anabel sneaked out of the theater later that night, nobody was the wiser. They changed clothes in the dark at the bottom of the Lair hill.
And quickly made their way to the top.
The Lair was lit up, but it was quiet. No guards. No one was expecting them. Now it was time to stage their own break-in!
Finale
The first thing Elliot and Anabel had to do was set up the blasting tubes to break open the Lair door. Elliot had no way of knowing what the electronic code was for the door, and he didn't have the equipment to hack into it. He was suppose to be on vacation! Well, they'd just have to do this the old-fashioned way. He smiled to himself. Just like old times!
After lighting the fuses, Elliot called out to Anabel, "Run!"
But she panicked and froze on the spot! "Bel! Run, babe!" Elliot rushed back to her.
But Anabel finally turned and made it to his side.
Just in time!
"My God! That was close, Bel!"
"I'm so sorry, Elliot."
"You're ok! Let's get you hidden in the trees before I head inside the place."
"This shouldn't take long, Bel. I need to find some evidence. There's probably a couple of thugs in there, but I imagine they won't put up much of a fight after seeing that blast!"
Elliot ran back to the building, past hot rock and metal. The Lair's door was completely blown off its hinges, just as he knew it would be. Directly inside, the main entry room was also in shambles. A couple of lackeys were hiding and wailing in the back, but he quickly got them subdued. It wasn't his place to make arrests. He just needed proof of smuggling, photos and paperwork. And those, he managed to find easily enough.
Anabel's talk with Alana earlier in the day had put the criminal head off her guard. The lady was way too confident in her position in this town. Their raid was going to be a success! Elliot led Anabel to the back of the hill where the hidden rooms were. She was busy using the phone to dispatch the info he'd found. In the meantime, Elliot found the ground panel and activated the staircase.
They needed to get away quickly because the criminal heads and dirty cops were probably already on their way up the hill. He was sure there were alarms set up. But the fastest way for them to go was through the water tunnel. Alana would never be able to get boats to the cove fast enough to catch them. But still, they needed to hurry--just in case.
The last time they'd been here, Elliot had inspected this torch, thinking it might open a door. But Anabel had distracted him when she found the door herself. Later, he remembered hearing a clanking sound and a rush of water when he'd tugged on the torch handle. He had then realized the lever was used to reverse the water current in the tunnel--to flow down instead of up. Amazing! They were going to ride the current down to the hidden cove.
After what Anabel had told him about Silas' technology background and with the added search he himself had done, Elliot felt sure the tunnel mechanisms were Silas' work. He just hoped he was right about the cove not being guarded.
Not a soul in sight! But that might not last long. They needed to get to the house and out of town as quickly as possible.
Anabel was so glad that the condo they'd rented included a speed boat. They hadn't bothered to use the expensive car in the garage or the boat before now, but tonight, they needed this boat! Their own sailboat couldn't have done the job!
The condo was a welcome sight!
Though the beach was dark, dawn would soon be coming. No problem. After a quick change of clothes, Elliot and Anabel would be gone from Sunlit Tides.
But there was still time for a kiss under the full moon. After all, it WAS their honeymoon!
Thanks for the tips on worlds, too!
@emorrill Pinkie and Cheese seem to be a great couple! They've got so much things in common. I like how the machine threw paper while they were in bed. lol
@lanlyn I'll try to listen to The Blue Brothers song later. It's really funny. I also think my sims resemble them somehow. o.O
Your update may have been long, but I had a blast! I thought that Skull Cave was CC, but it's nice to know that it's part of ST. That made me want to buy that world (but first, I need to receive my copy of Supernatural. If without it, my game is crazy, imagine when I get it). I also love how you worked with the burglary situation.
@PixelsSquared Blake and Elena are a cute couple!
@Letchy15 That house looks cool! I like buying the bare building and decorate it in game while my sims are getting the money. At least they can live in a good house. I also like the way you decorated the house, deciding the color scheme beforehand.
Now, it's time for my update. Here's just a quick one, I'm organizing the picture and trying to upgrade my writing skills for the legacy topic.
"We should remember to bring better cars next time."
It's been very dangerous and luckly nobody has passed out. I'm currently doing those MoruCorp quests. They can spend 5 days in Egypt, but I hope they'll be able to spend more. So far, They've got only 2/5 pieces of the sarcophagus.
Besides adventuring, they had room for romance.
Shane has found love in the desert. He's going out with Youssef Nagi. I guess it'll be just a fling.
Another Shane has a boyfriend in Twinbrook and wanted to propose marriage. Garett Reynolds is his name and he's got two siblings. His sister is living with an alien. (There are seven aliens in this Twinbrook. The father, Zatolib, went out with five girls -including the mother of this family- and had children with all of them. He joined the political career and married Sophia Carlton because she had twins).
This character will be important in the future. He's the most handsome sim I've got. His name is Ethan McIntyre. Here, he was spending a few days at the Madbouli's house.
Jade attended her prom. She'll get the party animal trait once she ages up. She danced a lot at her prom but she didn't find that special person...
While both Shanes are getting along well, the two Tristans hate each other. Or should I say that Evil Tristan hates Tristan.
I've got more screenshots, but I need to organize stuff in order to prepare a better post for my blog and the legacy topic. By the way, I need opinions. I have a Vial of Bottled Genie and I was thinking of using it. I can't decided which Shane would be better as a genie or if I should have this occult in the family this way. =S
Shane and Nagi were going out when Nagi's girlfriend decided to show up and complain that he's cheating on her in public.
"Betrayal!! It's time to spill some blood" She thinks.
However...
"Seeing these two kissing so passionately seems so entertaining" She concludes.
@lanlyn , I loved your story! Did the burglar just happen to break into their house that night?
@thuggishsplicer , your story is excellent and funny! (I love the pictures of Evil Tristan being angry at Tristan, and of Youssef's girlfriend being entertained by his kissing another man.)
Great updates everyone.
@PixelsSquared : Love your pictures.
@s1mszzang : Aluna Island looks great. I've downloaded it and will play in the future. Hope it doesn't require ShowTime or Into the Future since I don't have those EPs. Would love to see pictures of your game in that world.
@lanlyn : Awesome story. Hope Elliot and Bel have more crimes to solve.
His mother's evil ex-husband, Samuel McIrish, came to the party uninvited.
Desmond's father Paul has had a wish to propose a truce to Samuel ever since he stole his wife Connie. Now would be a good time to do so. Connie is excited about it.
Paul proposes a truce using his best sad puppy face. Samuel just flexes his muscles in response.
It didn't work. They are even worse enemies than they were before.
But, on the plus side, at least Samuel hasn't beaten Paul up.
(Paul's sister Eleanor saved the day by starting to play guitar. All the guests including Samuel gathered around her to listen, and Samuel just went home afterwards, while everyone else stayed for the cake.)
Generation One
Thanks @thuggishsplicer , nice story update as well.
@PalmArrow poor Paul
@PixelsSquared I enjoyed your update as well. Your sims look so realistic!
@TadOlson I've noticed that all your sims have a certain "look" to them. Mods? Custom skintones?
I know I missed tagging some of the rest of you, but I have read your updates and they are so fun! Keep them coming!
