    And even though it's been a while, just thought I'd show how Teresa and Tabitha -above posts- aged up with my Watt family ;)-

    Tabitha and Teresa aged up...They're not the best looking, but they are interesting! I think Tabitha is my fave out of the two though, ;).

    Kimberly Porter looked around the beautiful backyard and gave a contended sigh. This was theirs.

    32591539906_0a1f38a199_b.jpg

    She called her mother in Windenburg to tell her that they had settled in as her husband, Gary, brought out their son Ryan.

    32252695700_c641926f3b_b.jpg

    It was time to explore!

    32252693420_6bab56a1c2_b.jpg

    32252689800_6f5746aae7_b.jpg

    "We're going to have a good life here, little man."

    32591535256_e70ce6e9d4_b.jpg

    "Mommy, I like it here."
    "Me too."

    32252688360_49366b29af_b.jpg

    There was a knock on the door - their neighbour Jerome had come round to welcome them to the neighbourhood.

    31820055943_7ee5ef939e_b.jpg

    "Let's go see who was at the door."

    32478557442_ffcd6b596d_b.jpg

    Jerome explained that he and his wife had a small son, too. And Kimberly invited them around for a playdate one day soon!

    32478555802_eca7205c0b_b.jpg

    "New fwiends!"

    31788878784_bbc994be09_b.jpg

    Gary is training to be a chef, but for their first meal in the new house he went with something simple.

    31788878034_8bf86f7c47_b.jpg

    Grilled cheese!

    32478551752_18e6800558_b.jpg

    The food of love. :kissing_heart:

    32252715800_1fdf2cabf7_b.jpg

    Team work makes a tidy home.

    32591563626_fdc0de5b58_b.jpg

    Ryan is happy there is plenty of space to master the art of running.

    32252713740_e51c7c39bf_b.jpg

    Bath time!

    32591558786_a89744e50a_b.jpg

    Don't eat the ducky.

    32591560866_aa8d0a4059_b.jpg

    "It's bed time, baby."

    32478545202_26723488a7_b.jpg

    32591555386_7cc4587872_b.jpg

    But not before a story.

    32509512181_c300076da4_b.jpg

    Tucked in and kissed goodnight, Ryan is very cosy in his new bed.

    32252706210_15736f08cd_b.jpg

    31820026543_aee53d4b5c_b.jpg

    Across the hall, Kimberly and Gary enjoy their new bed too!

    32252704280_71fbdbd037_b.jpg

    Perhaps working on a little sister? :wink:

    @mattgstl Thank you so much! :heart: I don't use any CC at all. They're all on the Gallery under my ID UKSimmer14 if you're interested. :)

    Such a very sweet thread. I like your families @Simanite I have a save that revolves around the friendship of two families as well. I was playing it last night for the first time since toddlers hit because one couple wasn't going to have children until toddlers came.

    I've spent time building the relationships between the two families though. The two couples have group for going out and dining together. I also plan on making groups with their kids for backyard get-togethers and bbqs.

    My couple had twins last night so now I need to go back in to the other household and age up the baby they have. ( I keep aging off for my played households.)

    @fullspiral Thank you! Your game sounds wonderful. I love playing those of stories too, and I'm so happy to revisit my favourite families again now toddlers are here. :)
  • egandreegandre Posts: 659 Member
    @simanite So did you start your original family over with toddlers? :)

    I made the save specifically for these two families and their interconnected lives as families and friends.

    lol, I had a dilemma last night as to which save I wanted to start up! My vampire save? Or this one for toddlers and families. So hard to decide!

    But why did the game up the chances of twins and triplets? I just wanted 1!

    There are a lot of comments that I read about TS4 that don't particularly correlate with my own experiences with the game, particularly regarding family play and the Sims themselves.

    I think that most people on here know just how much I miss toddlers, and I do find their omission to have a negative bearing on my gameplay. However, from my own personal experience, I don't think that the statement I have seen that "TS4 has no family gameplay" correlates with my own experiences with playing the game.

    For me, it means I don't play families as I find the huge leaps in ages stages to jarring. I really don't like it. I don't want to play without the bonding period of toddlers and teens just look like I missed most of their stage as they look like are ready to turn young adult immediately.
    I do like the child stage, but it's obvious to me that EA felt to pressured to get the game out to bother with toddlers and give teens more time for unique animations. I will buy more packs and play families when we get Generations. Other than that I will just play TS3 for a better family experience.

    So now we have them and I can finally start playing as I normally do...

    Except... just before we got toddlers, I finally got around to reinstalling Skyrim on my computer and giving it a major modding overhaul.
    Not even toddlers can pull me away from a modded Skyrim. :D

    @CK213 Isn't it amazing? You have more patience than me, I had to play even with the hole of toddlers missing. But now I'm glad that hole is filled. :)

    The next morning, Ryan was playing with his blocks in the living room.

    31862469693_c289a405f9_b.jpg

    Then it was playtime with dad!

    31862468873_bec70086d9_b.jpg

    "Daddy has to go to work now, scamp."
    "But I want Daddy to stay!"

    31862467693_755e163e2c_b.jpg

    "I'll be back soon."

    32295658540_f3276eed2e_b.jpg

    Uh oh. That face doesn't look good...

    32295657680_ca5bb9d29d_b.jpg

    Aww. :cry:

    31862463923_3ef4d55059_b.jpg

    "Come on baby, let's go outside. Mommy wants to start her garden"

    32295655970_39c0229df5_b.jpg

    WHAT IS THAT?!

    32295655170_e893c540a4_b.jpg

    I don't know what it is, but it looks fun.

    31862460833_8ee0e8c609_b.jpg

    Mommy's little helper. :smiley:

    32295653230_d04be45f3a_b.jpg

    "Water! Water!"

    31862458813_444f03c660_b.jpg

    Gardening with Mom is thirsty (and hungry!) work, phew!

    32295651300_2a218fcdd2_b.jpg

    "I can be a airplane!"

    31862456413_a2a9b0cce9_b.jpg

    Beddy byes.

    32521940142_9cb55f1097_b.jpg

    And time for Kimberly to unwind with a glass of nectar and a corny movie.

    31862454113_60921085f0_b.jpg

    The next morning, Ryan had a little "accident" with his first breakfast.

    32521937812_140143d838_b.jpg

    "Why can't I throw food on the floor, Daddy?"
    "Just because."

    31862452413_aba3145d55_b.jpg

    Learning about nature with Mommy.

    32521935952_c9f1b85103_b.jpg

    But he still seems more interested in the airplanes!

    31862450823_09358cfdfa_b.jpg

    Gary had the evening off from the restaurant, so he got Ryan ready for bed.

    32521932462_d184ebcff1_b.jpg

    :sleeping:

    32521931242_b7503b2a32_b.jpg

    Gary and Kimberly were happy to have a little time to themselves...

    32521930522_0ce4642c04_b.jpg

    ...But when it actually came, they were at a loss for what to do!
    "It seems so quiet without him." :neutral:

    32552583581_dc769593e0_b.jpg

    So Gary decided to fill the quiet with his serenading! :flushed:

    32552582711_9064a15514_b.jpg

    Ryan soon broke the silence the next morning.

    32295639110_0ff55a4cbe_b.jpg

    "I hope he doesn't cry when I go to work again."
    "He'll be fine, Gary."

    32552581391_b649d8a90a_b.jpg

    Because they were headed on a little trip! Off to meet their neighbours - Jerome's wife, Aleah, and their son Easton.

    32634199516_15f93b2e3a_b.jpg

    "Oh my gosh, I've been craving adult conversation that wasn't my husband for SO LONG. Hi!"

    32674722515_89f485a080_b.jpg

    "You're telling ME. Hi!"

    32552579031_de02fe601d_b.jpg

    "Go and say hello to Ryan, Easton."

    32674720825_c62c09147f_b.jpg

    "What is this strange thing?"

    32552577391_75d182246c_b.jpg

    Eep.

    32674719085_e57f2451e0_b.jpg

    Ryan decided to hide his face so no one could see him...

    32521920062_4f770b1e83_b.jpg

    ...But he risked a little look.

    31831824724_700771cd18_b.jpg

    And it wasn't long until they started warming to each other. :heart:

    32674715005_a15e2e80bd_b.jpg

    "I hope we get to play again soon."
    Maybe one day they'll grow up to be best friends. :smiley:
