    Crowley Family Update - A Home to Retire In

    All of the women in his life had heard the stories, until he was a teenager, Lucas had lived in a house bordering the lake in Hidden Springs and he missed it. So the women in his life, wanted to give that memory back to him. While the original house had been demolished, Barbara, Fiona, Naoise and Soifra put their heads together and their purses and moved Lucas back to his childhood lot.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-19.jpg

    Their father had never been really into the money accumulated by their great-great grandfather, so a smaller home that still accommodated the family was perfect, and they ensured all of their personal memories were taken with them.

    Including their growing family of gnomes.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-20.jpg

    Lucas was thrilled to be back on the lakeside lot, but he had planning to do. The following day, he made sure to plan a party. He was giving another of his babies to adulthood. Naoise, who had not had a teen party, was going to be a young adult, and Lucas wanted to make sure that everyone enjoyed the festivities.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-21_1.jpg

    Before the party, Naoise worked on her drumming skill. She was close to a level 7 now.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-22.jpg

    Soifra's artwork was also nearly resembling artwork. She was now also nearly a level 7 (unfortunately I could not hang this painting when she finished it. Warning to all not to move with an easel (packed of course) that has an unfinished painting on it as everything goes invisible).
    [img][/img]Screenshot-23.jpg

    When everyone arrived, Naoise went to the cake to ring in her years of responsibility.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-25.jpg

    Her sister had not been so corrupted by fame that she refused a family birthday party, which was a relief.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-27.jpg

    Then the moment arrived.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-28.jpg

    She would eventually tame this mane and get herself some more suitable clothing.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-29.jpg

    But of course, it's never really a party in any sim town unless someone dies. Emmit Marshall, a former flirting partner of their grandfather's, passed away in the recreation room.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-30.jpg
    [img][/img]Screenshot-31.jpg

    But his passing was unable to sully the proceedings, afterall, he was a party crasher. Naoise thought about her options and possibilities.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-32.jpg

    The following morning, it was breakfast and a quick run to City Hall for Naoise to graduate. She was voted Class Valedictorian and Class Clown. (Again, it was winter so she changed out of her cap and gown for graduation, so I didn't take any photos of it).
    [img][/img]Screenshot-33.jpg

    After the ceremony, the family went to Fiona's house to meet their new grand-daughter and niece, Tiffany O'Malley. She was sooo adorable, she briefly made Naoise get ideas, but in the end, she realised you can't be a sports star if you're pregnant and Locke was currently too young for her, but eventually, maybe...one day.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-34.jpg

    The rest of the day was spent at home, perfecting skills or making money. Soifra finished her painting and Barbara decided to start on an ice sculpture.
    [img][/img]Screenshot-36.jpg
    [img][/img]Screenshot-37.jpg

    And so the indecisive me takes point. Naoise is remaining in the house because her trait set (complete with over emotional now) is very different from any I've used. There will be an heir war over the coming days in my game, which hopefully I'll deal with over the weekend!
    [img][/img]Screenshot-15.jpg

    I'll catch up on everyone's updates then too as I think this page's refresh rate is making my office think I just spend the entire day here!! I've been browsing though and I'm looking forward to actually reading the updates!

    Hey peeps I have another lookbook coming up soon but quickly I just wanted to ask if anyone knows who made this hair and where i can find it? I thought it was by peggyzone or chi sims but its not..I found the head pin in the pic but not the hair. It would be really cute in one of my lookbooks/edits. Thanks

    @Celticgamer0 Thanks, I'm just photoshopping the flashbacks and memories, and the dreams...
    I think I'll get meself one of those cuddly werewolves to rub his belly... <3 I won't mind some shedded fur, but are you sure they're not drooling?

    Thank you @wbombje :) I think it will be up in time for the weekend.
    Awesome pictures, I think the Thylacine looks good! :) The other little animal looks cute, even if it still ressembles a cat! Of all those creatures I'll definitele take Nathaniel! He's extremely handsome but at the same time looks very gentle and kind... Just the kind of pet I like to keep around! ;)

    @CravenLestat All those jocks or cheerleaders get on my nerves! ;) And they're goodlooking too... <3 Hmm... Love the Dragon Valley and Lucky Palms patterns most, even though they're all awesome! I noticed there wasn't a Lacrosse or a soccer one! Back to work man! Just because your job is awesome doesn't get you off the hook so easily! :*

    @lanlyn OMG! That was a tough one, bravo to get through with it! :o
    The bigger the wedding, the more routing problems... I cheat. Yes, yes. I admit it. I use Mastercontroller and other Nraas mods to fill the house with guests, that I promptly hi-jack as householdmembers. So now I can control them. Without MoveObjects, there's practically no way in my experience to get to the arch or to the cake or just to make a toast, there's just a lot of foot tapping and eyerolling and queing that gets lost... So I raise my glass to you, Lanlyn, wedding organizer supreme, to have succeeded in making Hera and Piers finally say yes, and to have showed us all not to give up! ;) Oh, and I think Hera's bravery was getting through the ceremony, with all those sim wits around... :D I was laughing so much when I read about the wedding, I completely forgot to compliment you on Hera's outfit. She was stunning!

    Thanks, @TadOlson :) Great update you too!

And I have the lifetime points to wish him back, even a genie lamp. I'm just not going to. He was an elder and, as it happens, time for him go pass on. I might, however, keep the lamp to wish him and Ashley back, cause she's getting OLD, for Taylors wedding. But this wish came up with everyone! Even Jeremih (I know his names spelt weird).

So if anyone knows how to remove the failing grades moodlet, with someone who moved in from uni (and I created him there so this isnt making loads of sense) that'll be great. Also, if someone can help me get rid of the elder sims in Uni, I'd love you even more. But either way, here's some pictures from it.

    great updates. keep them coming :)
    Oh and about the kid that didn't take his parents' skin tone, It's probably because he went back a generation or so and got that skin tone. This is one of the things I love about sims. They made the genetic traits similar to real life cause this happens that times.

    Well guys after trying and failing miserably with the last house i have finally settled on a design that works! I promise it is going to incorporate indoor-outdoor living and a sleek modern and low profile design all while being spacious as heck for family living. here are some pics of the interior, the outside is still a closely guarded secret ;)...

    I posted this one earlier in the robotic thread...she was actually spying on a frat guy at University.

    This isn't new for her, she's been doing it pretty much her whole life. Here she eavesdrops on her dad having a rather scintillating conversation with her nanny.

    @Faerie197 LOL at Eric using Alice's magic items! ...Babysitting issues in game are very much like real life.
    ...RE: That empty spot. Did you try to put an arch under it temporarily and place a tile that way? Also, I had issues with the Now and Then Manor from the store. It had spots like that where ladders had been. I put the ladders back up, moved them around, and was then able to place tiles. Or, It may be a problem with what's under it. Try using the hammer on the floor below. There could be invisible jigs.

    @Cororon Loved the pic of Josefin on the rocking horse.
    @CoffeeBeanPopcorn Great pics of the teen party aftermath!

    @Celticgamer0 Thanks for sharing the notices from the vampire/hunter mod. A lot of fun to read!
    @lasummerb Awesome pics of the girls dress shopping for the wedding gown. ...Miss Congeniality was fun.

    @Karritz Names are important to me too. I try to find different ones for each of my sims. Probably spend way too much time doing it! I like that you chose the name from your choir. ...Harry's red wings are awesome. ...Great seeing the ghost baby. ...LOL at Bonehilda cleaning up too quickly! ...My genie can conjure up any food in the game, but when I had him do a wedding cake, the cake turned out invisible. It was usable, you just couldn't see it. I had to buy a cake instead. Have you had that problem?

    @venusdemilosims My sims often let me know when something is broken or dirty. You're right. They are aware.
    @BrittanyChick22 Loved the fairy pics. Wonderful poses.
    @jillbg Great retro pictures of Missy and Granny! I loved them.

    @MamaSimTee After the troubles I went through with my game wedding, last night I didn't play at all. I read a book I'd downloaded from my elibrary. Then I found myself talking back to the book characters, telling them what they needed to do! Too bad book characters aren't clickable! LOL

    @omppuchii Always fun to discover new things!
    @cheesetruck Cute pic of the girl on the spring rider. And awesome scenery screenshots! The outdoor tub was fun.

    @MoonandStars83 VSync synchronizes the FPS (frames per second rate) to your game setting (monitor) refresh rate. It makes sure you're not running a game faster than the game engine can handle. If these two settings are out of sync, you can experience tearing, lagging, freezing as the game tries to catch up drawing graphics while scenes move. The Sims 3 does not have a built-in option for VSync. You need to use your graphics card software or other third party software for that.

    Here are a couple of posts that show pics of GPU software settings for The Sims 3:
    Nvidia Control Panel Settings for TS3
    AMD Radeon Crimson Settings for TS3

    @nekocat86 Fun that Amity married her imaginary friend. Let us know about the baby!
    @msbeckycat Busy times for your sims! But it sounds like the kids are progressing nicely.

    @Celticgamer0 Great photos of Alec. He is definitely photogenic.
    @Karritz I like Harry and Pamela's new home. Wow! ...Great pic with the toy mouse in the foreground.

    @wbombje I love the new animals! Nice primitive looking photos. Thanks for the google search links. I'd heard of the animals, but couldn't remember what they looked like. You did an awesome job, especially having only limited game options.

    @CravenLestat Great new shirts! The models look lovely in them.
    @Deshong04 Cute shirts on your sim kids.

    @TadOlson Congrats to the Jankowskys on their new house addition.
    @deadhaus123 I really like how you did the area for the cars next to the man cave.

    @Faerie197 More fun diary entries. LOL at trying to find a rich man. ...Funny about the zombies. ..."I never touched you!" Hilarious! ...He does indeed have a very nice "fan base."

    @MiyuEmi That's so neat that Lucas got to move back to his home lot. Great new house too. Loved the party pics. You know, I've never had a sim pass away at a party. What a fright that would be in RL! ...Soifra did a beautiful sunset painting. ...And a new heir will soon be chosen!

    @jillbg Well, I had to resort to a few cheats to make it through that wedding too! Later, I thought about what I might have done differently, but oh well. The thing is, I'd already done bachelorette and bachelor parties, and I think I was just partied out! This was the first time I'd done a wedding party at home instead of at a venue. If I ever do this again, I think I'll have a more private wedding ahead of time with only the household and a couple of friends over, THEN hold a "reception" later with more people, not combine the wedding with a party.

    @venusedemilosims I liked the pic of young Kaydence spying on her dad and the nanny.
    @KevinL5275 OMG! The general vs the old veteran. I had to read your post twice before I got it! LOL
