@CravenLestat I've owned dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, fish, newts, birds ... you name it! Animal Lover. My husband's family used to mush dogs too. That particular dog I mentioned was a little mutt I got from the shelter. He had a beautiful red coat and looked kind of like a boxer mix, but was a much smaller dog. His name was Walden. Very adventurous guy. He learned how to climb the fence, and we had a difficult time keeping him home. We were always chasing him down!
There was no real need to send Judy off to Isla Paradiso - but I just decided to do it because she needed to find a squid and I was curious about people posting about being unable to find any bottles with messages in them any more.
Fortunately, I put the collection helper in her inventory - because I simply don't have the patience to go blindly searching all over the world for collectibles. I've done that for several real life years now and I'm over it for now.
Judy arrived in Isla Paradiso and she found a nice little house to rent.
I used NRAAS Traveler mod to change Isla Paradiso to be Judy's home world. That means she can stay there until I'm ready to send to to another world. She is no longer part of her household in DragonValley.
When I send her back to Dragon Valley she'll have to rent a place to stay in there and then I'll use Merge Households to get her back into her old household. There are probably other ways to do it but that's what I did when she went off to Legacy Island III to collect Harry.
They both had to be residents of the world for me to be able to merge Judy and Harry into the same household. They left for Dragon Valley within minutes of Judy arriving in Legacy Island III.
Legacy Island III is so full of Sims that it requires my graphics to be turned down to minimum possible just to do anything at all there. That's what got me started on moving my Sims from Legacy Island III to other worlds.
There are still just over 420 Sims living in Legacy Island III. I'll be populating several more worlds before I have it down to a playable population size.
When Judy arrived in Isla Paradiso she had to learn to dive. She hadn't ever been swimming before so she had absolutely no diving skill at all.
I sent Judy to the local beach as soon as she had settled into her new home.
At first, there were no other sims anywhere to be found.
I tried to get her to swim and snorkel but she wasn't keen.
She just wanted to sunbathe. She got a tan very quickly. I bought her an umbrella to try to stop her spontaneously combusting.
Other sunbathers soon arrived and she saw something she really liked to look at. She had pink hearts dancing around her head. But she was there for another reason.
Since she continued to avoid snorkeling in the shallows I sent her to a dive lot to try snorkeling there.
She wasn't alone for long and a few townies turned up to do some diving of their own.
While the others went diving, all Judy could do was swim around on the surface and look down longingly at the interesting things she could barely see down below.
Hopefully this will have motivated her enough to work on that diving skill she has to have before she can venture down there too.
It was late in the day when I sent her out to that dive lot and it soon got dark.
I sent her home to try again on another day.
Finally she had a sufficiently high diving skill to be able to dive on one of the easier dive lots. She used her collection helper, on land and in the dive lots, to look for sea shells. She found a few and also found some messages in bottles. In fact, the second and third seashell she found were both bottles with messages in them.
Before I sent her diving I purchased her the lifetime reward 'Lungs of Steel'. I didn't want to become frustrated by her having to go up for air all the time.
Another thing she managed to do quickly once she got down to diving was to catch the squid she needed for her elixir. But I wasn't sending her home with just that one squid. She has to stay and achieve things while in this new world.
If I get tired of her being here I'll send her home and she might come back some day to do more work on things such as finding hidden islands. But if she doesn't get around to doing that and I want to use this world as a home for a group of Sims at some stage in the future, I think I'll try replacing the world files in this big game with a fresh version so the new set of Sims have some chance of revealing all of the hidden islands.
Judy found her first little hidden island easily while searching for sea shells. This is because she got a shell on a beach nearby and I knew all she had to do was go close to that particular island to reveal it. I did that and immediately regretted it as that meant she'd have to stay to reveal all islands or I would have to replace the world files in this game to give another sim that chance at some stage in the future. I hope replacing the world files will do the trick if I decide to try to do that.
After much diving she finally advanced enough to be able to dive in a few different dive lots. In one of them she came across a mermaid with legs. I've never see that before. I think I've read about it happening and assume it is a glitch.
She came across a treasure chest after having been diving for several days. I wondered if she could open it.
She got some cut emeralds and other treasure from that chest.
She didn't really need the emeralds as she has plenty of them at home - but they were pretty and I'm sure she'll use them at some stage. Or just sell them if she ever needs the money.
On some dives she uses the collection helper to find seashells and on other dives she uses it to find undersea life. In this case she has found that blue starfish that is seen near the spot indicated by the collection helper.
When diving, clicking on the collection helper in her inventory only brings up the NRAAS menu so she can't change it to look for other types of things once she has started her dive.
The collection helper is good for looking for seashells but not so good for undersea life. All it shows is a location that is near to where you will find something to catch, if you wait long enough and look hard enough in the right direction. It took me a while to find that starfish. I think it hadn't actually emerged at first and when I told her to catch it all I could see of it was a blue smudge. Once she went for it though it became fully visible.
None of the fish or other things in this picture are able to be caught. They are just there to make the dive lot look pretty and busy. Schools of those little fish swim around the dive lots and are very fast. I was happy to catch them in this pic.
She's off to see what the collection helper has found for her.
It looks like it is a tragic clown fish.
I see some kelp she could harvest. She's been harvesting it while diving as I happen to know she'll need some soon for another elixir.
It was time to go home. She popped back up to the surface.
Another day and another dive spot. She's been gradually improving her diving skill and can now dive in the Mermaid Grotto. I'm not sure which spot she's in here though.
Sometimes she dives at night and it is dark down there.
It looks like she's found a treasure chest near the opening to a cave she could explore - if she is sufficiently brave.
Unfortunately she couldn't get this chest open.
Time to go home and come back another day.
In between dives I have her resting or running around Isla Paradiso looking for insects or seashells. I can well understand why people are having problems finding bottles. The version of Isla Paradiso I am playing has very few spawners scattered around the world and they don't spawn much very often so trying to find collectables there without a collection helper could be a seriously depressing venture. Unless you happen to enjoy hours of fruitless searching.
I must admit though, I haven't had her looking for metals or gems or any other things. I've only had her trying to find seashells and insects. I rarely find other goodies just lying around near places the collection helper takes me to collect things it has highlighted for me.
What's that she can see in the distance?
Wonder if she can open it?
And she gets it open and empties the treasure.
No need for a collection helper to see that anemone on the sea floor. She quickly scooped it up.
She saw an old anchor on the bottom
Then she returned to the beach and tried a bit of fishing with a line.
@lanlyn Animal lovers get awesomes and I think you were technically a zookeeper If you would have named one more animal would have bumped you up to forest ranger.Walden is such a cute name for a dog and a good name for a sim too cannot believe you haven't used it.
I loaded Bridgeport with the intention of snagging a few sims to makeover for a fresh save for my 4th generation family. While I had it open I was tempted to start a save with Beau Merrick as he has been a favourite of mine for some time. I added Josh, a sim I made a while back, to be his partner. They hit it off immediately and before I know it they autonomously married. I had Beau turn Josh because it would have been tragic for him to die so early in their marriage.
After the birth of their daughter, Scarlett, I had them move to a house as I know I have a tendency to have big families and the apartment would not have cut it. When they were expecting their second child, I added my simself to the save to act as nanny. The second child was a girl, Jade.
Their third child, Tyrian, is still a toddler.
Scarlett just aged up to teen while I was playing this morning and I think she is very pretty
@CravenLestat And yet another interpretation of that emoji! I can see that now. The happy dog's smile. I also remember a dog I had who added his own twist to that grin. He was a bit ornery, and would laugh at us when we tried to catch him. He was playing games. So yes, lots of ways to see a simple smiley face! <---cheeky grin while laughing at myself.
Now see that one... looks like a GRRRRRRR type peeved face to me, where as looks like a raspberry. But yes, Charlotte used to make that cute sticky out tongue grin just like Rascal. I still miss her!!!!
@Karritz I really enjoyed your pics. The water is so beautiful
Thank you. I have her diving at the moment but am thinking of sending her home for a while as her inventory is getting very full. I do have a heap more pictures to post though.
@lanlyn Animal lovers get awesomes and I think you were technically a zookeeper If you would have named one more animal would have bumped you up to forest ranger. ...
@CravenLestat I didn't mention the "🐸🐸🐸🐸 Toads" we used to catch when I was a kid in Texas. And salamanders, crawdads, pollywogs ... hermit crabs and ghost grabs from the coast ...
We loved this little guy. The Horned Lizard (🐸🐸🐸🐸 Toad)
I wasn't a tomboy, just loved the outdoors and all kinds of creatures.
Saville found his girlfriend in no time and struck up a conversation with the bartender. He thought it was an odd place but didn't question it, things are bound to be different in a big city. Sun Young on the other hand was fascinated with the old stone coffin. A strange thought popped into her mind; wouldn't it be cool to meet a supernatural sim? She felt tempted to laugh it off... Supernaturals were just a myth back home in Sunset Valley.
It was starting to get dark so they left to go get some dinner. Sun Young couldn't help but shiver as they went past the cemetery. An uneasy feeling washed over her.
The next morning, Sun was up early and at her laptop. She was searching through social media to find someone in the area. She wanted to make friends of course, but another part of her was dying to know more about that little bar in the cemetery.
After Saville had his shower he went over to see what she was doing. She quickly closed the screen and lied. Well, only half-lied. Someone by the name of Erika had gotten in contact with her and was willing to meet up.
A brand new day! Sun Young smiled to herself.
Saville was happy to wait at the apartment for her. He was really enjoying his new love for golf.
Sun and her new acquaintance had promised to meet at a hotel lobby. Erika was covered from head to toe in leather. Smart and sexy all in one package, Sun felt felt more strongly than anything in that moment that she wanted to be just like Erika.
@coco So glad you got that hairstyle with the wool hat ,Sun is practically meant for it And I dont trust Erika she is a bad example,a rotten apple I can feel it plus she kinda looks like a evil vampire. Sun is a good girl she better stay away
@Mikezumi Scarlett just aged up to *Look out for that sim stalking with the age of instant elixir* I mean ummm she is a QT and a fine upstanding young lady
@karritz I really need to go scuba diving,I have only done it a few times but not enough to find all the cool stuff and collectibles. I never even got a seahorse But your pics make me want to play in IP I do not use it enough.
@lanlyn I thought that lizard has a wonderful name.I have been called that name alot actually... But its not true women are gross
@CravenLestat It really does suit her doesn't it? Erika is evil, definitely not a good role model. Sun is no innocent in my game either, she's got a Cheater reputation and 4 relationships plus a betrayal but even she doesn't deserve what's coming to her next...
@Puddinroy -Thanks for the comment. @Cororon -Great picture! @king_of_simcity7 -It's a credit to the world's creator.Great pictures! @Karritz -Great update! @PalmArrow -Great updates! @CravenLestat -Great pictures! @Charlottesmom -Great pictures! @lanlyn -Great update!I found that houses and other buildings that might need expansion would lose the real roof so I started putting flor tiles up as a flat roof before adding the other one after installing Seasons. @Mikezumi -Hi there!I've got a modifiled 100 baby challenge in Storybrook.Great start! @coco -Great update!
Notchcliffs-Under Construction.
I flattened the lot for the town's main pool.
The pool got set down and food replicators got added.
A fish spawner check was done to make sure the pool would be stocked with fish for winter fishing.
Some pictures of the already edited pool.
Hey guys I made a little video to help some people out called '10 Things You Didn't Know In Sims 4' If you see it, hope it helps!!
Happy Gaming!!

@Mikezumi I don't often play in Bridgeport and don't know the townie sims very well. And I rarely play with vampires - but do plan to change that one day. Having said all of that I did enjoy seeing your pictures of your vampires in Bridgeport.
@CravenLestat I've been hoping to get a seahorse too but so far she hasn't found any. They are very small and hide among the coral and are very hard to find. I'm hoping when she gets her diving skill up to level 9 and is able to dive at Pearl's Deep she might have some chance of finding one.
I'll post my next update in a new post. There have been some interesting/unexpected/challenging developments but they will be in the post I haven't started organising the pictures for yet.
Here's the next part of my update of Judy in Isla Paradiso
In my game I've currently got her returning to Dragon Valley. She may revisit Isla Paradiso at some stage or not.
Back at home, when she ought to have been sleeping, I found Judy playing Frisbee with a neighbour from Isla Paradiso.
Next day she went diving again and found another map piece in a bottle.
There was a black goldfish (swimming in the ocean?) for her to catch.
Then she cam across another treasure chest.
She tried to open it
And she got some more treasure. This time there was a map piece in the chest.
She had a little look around and thought about exploring another cave.
Something seemed to be happening to the game - I got a bit worried it was about to crash but continued with her chasing undersea life.
She spotted another squid and went after it...
Got it....
I saw a crab hiding in a crevice - this was just part of the terrain paint used in the dive lot.
Suddenly I got thrown up to the surface to see the island she had just revealed - I suspect finding that fourth map piece and putting the pieces together revealed the island for her. She's now found 3 of the hidden islands.
Judy was still down below exploring the dive lot. I let her continue for a while longer and then sent her home for a rest.
Next day she was out diving again.
Here she is arriving at the dive lot.
Now she's changed into her scuba gear and is ready to descend.
She spotted another message in a bottle and collected it. Some times they are just lying there. Her diving skill is up to level 8 now so I suppose she's getting better at finding things.
Judy saw a pair of divers from town having a chat under water.
I don't seem to have managed to get any pictures of the various big sharks she came across while diving. I can assure you she is not a brave sim. She frequently had a warm wet suit.
I'll start work on my next update now and fill you in on what's happened to make me scratch my head and find a work around to allow me to be able to continue playing my game. All I can say is thank goodness for SaveAs and always saving with a different sequential number each time I save as.
I imported a household I'd made up quite a while back just so I could actually view my new build for that contest and got playing them after I checked it over. I didn't realize the game had also imported them as townies. 2nd day of school Karen met herself, first full moon both Katya and Bran zombies showed up at my house. so they met their zombie selves who kept trying to attack them.
@coco oooh, looks like Sun wants to take a walk on the darkside!
@TadOlson Thanks I have yet to manage a 100 baby challenge. I might try again one day but my real play preference is for generational games. That's a lot of fishing spawners in such a small space. Your sims will never go hungry The pool looks great!
@Karritz Thanks Judy seems to have a wonderful life! Really do enjoy your water shots
Wogan and Morrigan Hemlock's son aged up to teen the day before Scarlett. I quickly disabled romance for him so that Scarlett would have first dibs. He's such a handsome boy and would make the perfect life partner for her As soon as she aged up, I arranged for them to meet. They hit it off really well. Since it was the weekend, she had her first date with him the next day.
Tyrian aged up to child the day after Scarlett's birthday. He rolled a wish for a water slide so I obliged.
I can't let the kids have all the fun so I had Beau and Josh do some star gazing.
@CravenLestat It really does suit her doesn't it? Erika is evil, definitely not a good role model. Sun is no innocent in my game either, she's got a Cheater reputation and 4 relationships plus a betrayal but even she doesn't deserve what's coming to her next...
What have you done to her When you met her she was a sweet girl just living life and smelling flowers painting portraits of the terracota army and singing Chinese songs on the hillside by Dragons Maw.Now you turned her into a cheating trampy dirty girl basically*Lanlyn-ized her* Guys in her games are watching her but not interested yet or adding her to the bucket list till she has been with at least 15 sims 2 of which have to be same gender.Bunter is taking notes
Now what devious things are you holding in that mind of yours.The wink has me curious
@Cadh20000 Meeting your twin,meeting your dopleganger as a zombie,meeting your clone then they try to eat you and rip off your flesh and make you undead.
I LOVE SIMS 3 Real weirder stories that are actually fun.
@karritz That screenshot you took of just the treasure chest sitting in the water is really pretty with the light on the sand and shadows So colorful and I want that chest in real life to put at the foot of a bed and store blankets in it.
I'm gone for a day and have tons of posts to catch up on! This thread moves fast! Great updates everyone!
So, I got to play for a couple of hours yesterday, and went pic crazy again. My recent game is in Moonlight Falls with a semi random made sim. Her name is Stacie Garnet (random generated name):
First I decided to give her a makeover with cc.
Then I sent her to the winter festival and let her do her thing
Just had to try out ice skating and snow boarding
Trying festival food (hot wings I think)
Who said there's no multitasking in sims 3
Stacie decided to buy a hot chocolate at the festival...and drink it in the hot tub...
...while having a conversation with this guy...
The look on her face!
She's a gatherer, so on her way home she made a special stop:

There was no real need to send Judy off to Isla Paradiso - but I just decided to do it because she needed to find a squid and I was curious about people posting about being unable to find any bottles with messages in them any more.
Fortunately, I put the collection helper in her inventory - because I simply don't have the patience to go blindly searching all over the world for collectibles. I've done that for several real life years now and I'm over it for now.
Judy arrived in Isla Paradiso and she found a nice little house to rent.
I used NRAAS Traveler mod to change Isla Paradiso to be Judy's home world. That means she can stay there until I'm ready to send to to another world. She is no longer part of her household in DragonValley.
When I send her back to Dragon Valley she'll have to rent a place to stay in there and then I'll use Merge Households to get her back into her old household. There are probably other ways to do it but that's what I did when she went off to Legacy Island III to collect Harry.
They both had to be residents of the world for me to be able to merge Judy and Harry into the same household. They left for Dragon Valley within minutes of Judy arriving in Legacy Island III.
Legacy Island III is so full of Sims that it requires my graphics to be turned down to minimum possible just to do anything at all there. That's what got me started on moving my Sims from Legacy Island III to other worlds.
There are still just over 420 Sims living in Legacy Island III. I'll be populating several more worlds before I have it down to a playable population size.
When Judy arrived in Isla Paradiso she had to learn to dive. She hadn't ever been swimming before so she had absolutely no diving skill at all.
I sent Judy to the local beach as soon as she had settled into her new home.
At first, there were no other sims anywhere to be found.
I tried to get her to swim and snorkel but she wasn't keen.
She just wanted to sunbathe. She got a tan very quickly. I bought her an umbrella to try to stop her spontaneously combusting.
Other sunbathers soon arrived and she saw something she really liked to look at. She had pink hearts dancing around her head. But she was there for another reason.
Since she continued to avoid snorkeling in the shallows I sent her to a dive lot to try snorkeling there.
She wasn't alone for long and a few townies turned up to do some diving of their own.
While the others went diving, all Judy could do was swim around on the surface and look down longingly at the interesting things she could barely see down below.
Hopefully this will have motivated her enough to work on that diving skill she has to have before she can venture down there too.
It was late in the day when I sent her out to that dive lot and it soon got dark.
I sent her home to try again on another day.
Finally she had a sufficiently high diving skill to be able to dive on one of the easier dive lots. She used her collection helper, on land and in the dive lots, to look for sea shells. She found a few and also found some messages in bottles. In fact, the second and third seashell she found were both bottles with messages in them.
Before I sent her diving I purchased her the lifetime reward 'Lungs of Steel'. I didn't want to become frustrated by her having to go up for air all the time.
Another thing she managed to do quickly once she got down to diving was to catch the squid she needed for her elixir. But I wasn't sending her home with just that one squid. She has to stay and achieve things while in this new world.
If I get tired of her being here I'll send her home and she might come back some day to do more work on things such as finding hidden islands. But if she doesn't get around to doing that and I want to use this world as a home for a group of Sims at some stage in the future, I think I'll try replacing the world files in this big game with a fresh version so the new set of Sims have some chance of revealing all of the hidden islands.
Judy found her first little hidden island easily while searching for sea shells. This is because she got a shell on a beach nearby and I knew all she had to do was go close to that particular island to reveal it. I did that and immediately regretted it as that meant she'd have to stay to reveal all islands or I would have to replace the world files in this game to give another sim that chance at some stage in the future. I hope replacing the world files will do the trick if I decide to try to do that.
After much diving she finally advanced enough to be able to dive in a few different dive lots. In one of them she came across a mermaid with legs. I've never see that before. I think I've read about it happening and assume it is a glitch.
She came across a treasure chest after having been diving for several days. I wondered if she could open it.
She got some cut emeralds and other treasure from that chest.
She didn't really need the emeralds as she has plenty of them at home - but they were pretty and I'm sure she'll use them at some stage. Or just sell them if she ever needs the money.
On some dives she uses the collection helper to find seashells and on other dives she uses it to find undersea life. In this case she has found that blue starfish that is seen near the spot indicated by the collection helper.
When diving, clicking on the collection helper in her inventory only brings up the NRAAS menu so she can't change it to look for other types of things once she has started her dive.
The collection helper is good for looking for seashells but not so good for undersea life. All it shows is a location that is near to where you will find something to catch, if you wait long enough and look hard enough in the right direction. It took me a while to find that starfish. I think it hadn't actually emerged at first and when I told her to catch it all I could see of it was a blue smudge. Once she went for it though it became fully visible.
None of the fish or other things in this picture are able to be caught. They are just there to make the dive lot look pretty and busy. Schools of those little fish swim around the dive lots and are very fast. I was happy to catch them in this pic.
She's off to see what the collection helper has found for her.
It looks like it is a tragic clown fish.
I see some kelp she could harvest. She's been harvesting it while diving as I happen to know she'll need some soon for another elixir.
It was time to go home. She popped back up to the surface.
Another day and another dive spot. She's been gradually improving her diving skill and can now dive in the Mermaid Grotto. I'm not sure which spot she's in here though.
Sometimes she dives at night and it is dark down there.
It looks like she's found a treasure chest near the opening to a cave she could explore - if she is sufficiently brave.
Unfortunately she couldn't get this chest open.
Time to go home and come back another day.
In between dives I have her resting or running around Isla Paradiso looking for insects or seashells. I can well understand why people are having problems finding bottles. The version of Isla Paradiso I am playing has very few spawners scattered around the world and they don't spawn much very often so trying to find collectables there without a collection helper could be a seriously depressing venture. Unless you happen to enjoy hours of fruitless searching.
I must admit though, I haven't had her looking for metals or gems or any other things. I've only had her trying to find seashells and insects. I rarely find other goodies just lying around near places the collection helper takes me to collect things it has highlighted for me.
What's that she can see in the distance?
Wonder if she can open it?
And she gets it open and empties the treasure.
No need for a collection helper to see that anemone on the sea floor. She quickly scooped it up.
She saw an old anchor on the bottom
Then she returned to the beach and tried a bit of fishing with a line.

@CravenLestat I've been hoping to get a seahorse too but so far she hasn't found any. They are very small and hide among the coral and are very hard to find. I'm hoping when she gets her diving skill up to level 9 and is able to dive at Pearl's Deep she might have some chance of finding one.

In my game I've currently got her returning to Dragon Valley. She may revisit Isla Paradiso at some stage or not.
Back at home, when she ought to have been sleeping, I found Judy playing Frisbee with a neighbour from Isla Paradiso.
Next day she went diving again and found another map piece in a bottle.
There was a black goldfish (swimming in the ocean?) for her to catch.
Then she cam across another treasure chest.
She tried to open it
And she got some more treasure. This time there was a map piece in the chest.
She had a little look around and thought about exploring another cave.
Something seemed to be happening to the game - I got a bit worried it was about to crash but continued with her chasing undersea life.
She spotted another squid and went after it...
Got it....
I saw a crab hiding in a crevice - this was just part of the terrain paint used in the dive lot.
Suddenly I got thrown up to the surface to see the island she had just revealed - I suspect finding that fourth map piece and putting the pieces together revealed the island for her. She's now found 3 of the hidden islands.
Judy was still down below exploring the dive lot. I let her continue for a while longer and then sent her home for a rest.
Next day she was out diving again.
Here she is arriving at the dive lot.
Now she's changed into her scuba gear and is ready to descend.
She spotted another message in a bottle and collected it. Some times they are just lying there. Her diving skill is up to level 8 now so I suppose she's getting better at finding things.
Judy saw a pair of divers from town having a chat under water.
I don't seem to have managed to get any pictures of the various big sharks she came across while diving. I can assure you she is not a brave sim. She frequently had a warm wet suit.

I'll start work on my next update now and fill you in on what's happened to make me scratch my head and find a work around to allow me to be able to continue playing my game. All I can say is thank goodness for SaveAs and always saving with a different sequential number each time I save as.

This is Katya by the way.

@coco oooh, looks like Sun wants to take a walk on the darkside!
@TadOlson Thanks
@Karritz Thanks
@Cadh20000 Now that sounds scary!
Wogan and Morrigan Hemlock's son aged up to teen the day before Scarlett. I quickly disabled romance for him so that Scarlett would have first dibs. He's such a handsome boy and would make the perfect life partner for her
Tyrian aged up to child the day after Scarlett's birthday. He rolled a wish for a water slide so I obliged.
I can't let the kids have all the fun so I had Beau and Josh do some star gazing.

What have you done to her
Now what devious things are you holding in that mind of yours.The wink has me curious
So, I got to play for a couple of hours yesterday, and went pic crazy again.
First I decided to give her a makeover with cc.
Trying festival food (hot wings I think)
...while having a conversation with this guy...
The look on her face!
