How are you?
I've gone missing, i know... Lot of changes in the past couple of month. I moved house, broke up with my boyfriend after five years. So really just have been trying to find myself and haven't been playing too much. In all fairness i found it depressing that even my sims have better love life than me...
But, i think i'm back, and finally managed to squeeze out a new chapter for my story as well.
Nory, your screenshot is gorgeous--the composition, layout, color, Sims--really amazing work.
All the best to you. It's so tough to go through a big break-up and have so many changes in your life. Hope you're gentle with yourself as you go through all the growth we experience in transition times. Much love to you!
Yay, Miss P! How awesome for a full day off! And congrats on 100 posts! I'm looking forward to reading your chapter during my afternoon break today--I think I have maybe two or three chapters of yours to read!
I have a recent posts link on the index page now for returning readers to see what they may have missed.
I have a Legacy question! When playing Pinstar's rules, how many times can your Sim drink the potion of youth? Is it once?
@Rorygilmore34 I broke the rules towards the end but, yes, only once. This includes either essence of life from the cowplant or a youth potion. You can collect them, of course, and they count as points.
Thank you so much @Meggles for your help! I'm playing the, "I'm a Lover Challenge" and there isn't a rule for the potion so I thought I would ask the pros on the Pinstar one.
@Simslover163 What are your thoughts if Mason took the Potion of Youth? There isn't a rule for it in the Challenge I'm playing. I'm thinking of letting him take it.
Hope that you're all having a great Friday. Before getting into today's update news, I'd like to let you all know that Sims and Friends has just reached 900 pages! That leaves a 100 to go before reaching the 1000 page milestone and I hope that you all can come visit and help that become a reality.
Now for some more baby announcements:
@SummerFalls: Apparently you (Joel) have/has married an alien by the name of Dakota Fox who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl by the name of Cindy.
@lisabee2: Your daughter, Cherie also lives in the SummerFalls household with her husband @Pronterus (Carlo De Leon) and together they had their firstborn son, Dion. I shared the update to your Facebook page but you can also click on the link above to meet your new grandson.
@Simslover163: Is now a father to a handsome baby boy by the name of Jesse who was born to his lovely wife Ayrissa Simmer.
@BabyDollAnne: Your Simself Anne Dyball recently married @kittycatcali's Sim S Neko (from her Simself household) and together you recently welcomed your firstborn Marvin into this big wide Sim world.
@kittycatcali: What does the 'S' in Neko's name stand for and which Sim in your Simself household is you? Cali has also given birth in my game to a precious baby girl by the name of Norah and she is married to a man by the name of Ronan Palmer.
@whitewaveldc : Your Simself Jennifer Campbell married a local Sim by the name of Kian Chu and they are now happy parents to triplets Ace, Emely and Edwin.
@Rinellie : Your Simself Brittany Marer just married townie, Brayden Walden
@friendsfan367 : Welcome to my Celtic Heritage legacy as your simself Tamara Padgett has married generation 6 heir, Barrett Sim
@MrsOogieBoogie's Simself Jenna has married a local doctor by the name of Alton Atkinson
Expecting Mothers:
@Derubelle and Shaun Fancey are expecting their second child.
That's all for now and I'll be back later with an update from Quincy Lim of Hawaiian Roots.
Note: @anyone: If you've been reading my older posts and the slideshow is missing that's because I just realized that when one (like myself) deletes an album on Imgur, then the pictures will no longer show in the update. Once again, I learned the hard way not to delete the albums and their photos from there. At least your Simself albums are safe as I've only deleted albums to my older updates.
yeah tara is married. thats exciting and depressing. exciting because i lost track of her in the last story so im happy for her and depressed because that means her love life is better than mine.
@Simslover163 What are your thoughts if Mason took the Potion of Youth? There isn't a rule for it in the Challenge I'm playing. I'm thinking of letting him take it.
That's what I was thinking too! Give it a go @Rorygilmore34!
I want him to be around so that Charlotte and Mason can be a golden couple once Charlotte reaches her senior years! There could be a possibility that he can still be around to see his grandchildren!
I was just having an okay day until my walk home - and now it's awesome. There's an adorable, fuzzy, yellow duckling at the pond! It was just a waddling after it's mom and cheeping. If that doesn't put you in a good mood, nothing will!
Well I'm busy with family issues again this week but I thought I'd share a few pics of my Build Newcrest file I just shared on Tumblr.
The first pic is my founder Hanna Minton.
The second pic is when I sent her to Granite Falls to meet some Sims. If you haven’t done this challenge before you aren’t allowed to leave Newcrest and go anywhere except Granite Falls and Magnolia shops so this is the only way I could think for her to make friends and meet a mate.
The next pic is Hanna’s best friend Lane. He was a pure accident random roll but his look was just so quirky I saved him and put him in the game and I’m glad I did. He’s over constantly and since Hanna is social he filled a need to make her happy while she was all alone in Newcrest.
If you want to see more random pics as I set up and play my files before the actual stories get published follow my Tumblr:

i have a longer reading list than i do time. more reading to do but less time to do it. im supposed to pick a recipe to make by monday but coffee beat food again so all thats doing is making me hungry.
@JLBDreamer I believe he is an EA premade They show up on random rolls sometimes. I forgot his name though...
He has a name? I thought it was just in cas, so you have to give them traits/asperations names yourself?
If he has a name I wanna know where to find it in cas! *curious snorts*

i was looking at recipes. but that made me hungry so i came here.
Haha, that's my favourite thing to do when it's late - I look at the recipes, get hungry and go to bed frustrated and sad because there's nothing in my fridge worth eating
