Hello my people I'm so terribly sorry for disappearing for a while. My life's been super busy and I have not opened my game in ages. I do have some screenshots in my bin, but I really just want to catch up with all of you guys first before I post those. I'm going to try and find some time to do that this weekend.
I hope everyone is well!
Hi! I am so happy to see you pop into the thread! Are you going to be getting pets next month when it comes out? Lots of fun updates in here to check on. I don't have much because of the storm and moving but I all caught up now and safe.
@OJenn I love seeing Tate coming over to spend time with Brielle. I love the father daughter relationship. It's so sweet they're going to get married now. I like their adult makeovers.
So I was thinking today...this has been my longest generation ever...I know it's because I have them on long lifespan but I started playing Greysen in the middle of November and he's still with us almost an entire year later!!
Chapter 91: Life Begins
Not only did Alicia find love, but they had a little girl named Eva.
Lucas moved into his new place and of course the welcome wagon came out.
For a while, he was able to live the carefree bachelor life.
He’s interested in wellness and wishes he could follow a career in that. He’s been practicing on his Dad.
Lucas gives mom a run for her money when they play chess since they’re both geniuses.
Of course he’s also been spending time with his sweet Alyssa. They still haven’t made anything formal though.
In fact, when she spent the night, they stayed in different beds.
The next morning he made her breakfast though.
If that’s not a look of love I don’t know what is!
When she left for the day though he went right back to that carefree lifestyle.
The next day he went to a festival and got to help work on a space ship.
He even got to take a trip into space.
He’s still good friends with Tatum and they work out together in his new gym.
Apparently Tatum wanted it to be something more. Now I understand why he was never that interested in either of Lucas’s sisters.
What ever happened between the boys didn’t really seem to make anything weird though.
Before he started his career he decided to take a vacation.
He invited Alyssa and she was happy to go.
They’ve been really good friends. Their friendship bar climbed a lot faster than the romance bar. They’re both full now though.
They already work very well together. He cooked and she cleaned up.
They found themselves getting really close.
So close that they no longer slept in separate beds.
Mom was psyched.
This was a warning sign I totally missed.
When they got home Lucas couldn’t bear the thought of Alyssa going home so he asked her to make his home hers as well.
She agreed but had news she was afraid to tell him.
He took her out that night to celebrate. He had to make sure she knew just how much she meant to him.
He didn’t worry about who might be watching.
They enjoyed their meal.
Until Alyssa started not feeling well.
Lucas offered her a massage to try and help.
Then they went for a little walk but they didn’t do much walking once they were in a secluded area near the water.
As soon as they were done she suddenly needed to run to the rest room.
When she came out, she decided it was time to be honest with Lucas.
By the time they got home he was exhausted.
The next day Dad came over and he shared both big stories with him.
Of course that was selfie worthy.
With a baby on the way, Lucas and Alyssa didn’t want to wait to get married.
Just in time. By the time she got home, she was showing hehe
And hunger at all hours set in.
She may not be drinking them, but she still practiced her drink making skills.
She had her parents over and they were a little surprised to learn things were happening so fast.
Overall though, the family dinner party they had went well.
The next day Alyssa was in the gym. She doesn’t want to get too far behind Lucas!
He’s still being quite suave with his new wife.
They took a quick “honeymoon” trip back to granite falls.
They both love the outdoors.
But while they were there, Alyssa went into labor.
Poor thing was afraid.
Now little Kristi looks worried!
Gareth and Hamiko are over the moon about their new grandchild.
Lucas invited his family to play cards while they were there and Gareth was really angry with Hamiko. I couldn’t imagine why because they were such a loving couple.
Well this is what happened. Oh Greysen.
Lucas came home to receive some interesting news.
They just had their sweet little Kristi.
But there’s another on the way!
Oh well…not what I had planned for this couple but it is what it is!
Alyssa had been a little nervous to tell Lucas about their nooboo. She was exhausted!
I like this little photo wall. Lucas and Alyssa’s wedding photo completed it.
This is my favorite wedding picture.
By the end of this update Alicia and Magnus had added a set of twins to their family.
Sooooo last night I may have posted my last update on the Wolfe family. Just after posting it my motherboard fried. I have no idea when I will have a new computer. I am really feeling sad.

@Rawla Thank you! I've been checking here for sympathy all day! But also still say something about my sweet boy's wedding
I did love the wedding. Surprise, she's pregnant! LOL Love that she didn't show until they got home. And of course Greysen is still here almost a year later. He's just that awesome. xD *hugs tight* Hang in there.

Oh no!! That is terrible @debjameswhite I am sorry to hear that especially after such a beautiful wedding and the excitement of a new nooboo on the way! I hope you can get something during all these holiday sales. Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the best time to get deals online for computers. I would also recommend checking Best Buy too. Did you have a laptop? Sending hugs your way and I hope you can get things resolved with your computer
@Ojenn Aww I love their wedding and seeing all the people who were there. I love using @Heckstress17 's wedding venue but I think I'd like one that's a little more intimate too. You're inspiring me.
Oh @OJenn I know they have good sales at Black Friday, but I'm not sure I could wait that long! The woman who built my gaming laptop was not in her shop when I went there on Saturday. They're supposed to be open from 10 to 5 so I called and on their machine she said she was having a family event and would be back on October 17th ugh! So I called another small shop and I got a bad feeling from them. You know when a guy talks to you and you just get that feeling that he doesn't think you know anything and it feels really condescending. So I went to Best Buy and they couldn't fix it and actually suggested I go to that other small shop. So I went there and the feeling I got on the phone was confirmed so I left and decided to wait for the lady to come back. I'm hoping she can build me a new laptop and put my data from the old one on it. Then I am hoping I will still have my family Also I'm hoping I can get something at all. Now is not the best time for an unexpected expense but I live on my computer so I really do need it.

Aww I am sorry your lady is out, I hope she can get you something once she gets back. My husband and I get our computers and parts from two sites. Newegg.com and Tiger Direct.com
I have my fingers crossed for you though! I hate not being able to play and being without a computer for even a week was too much for me.

I'd also recommend an external hard drive. It's the only thing that kept me from losing everything when my MB got fried.
OH hooray! @Jes2G I'm so glad you posted!! I've been searching for my Juliana story and I can't find it!!! And yes, external hard drives are on the new list.
Hey all - The last 24 hours have been crazy and later today my husband and I will officially be debt free! (You know you are an adult when that is exciting to you) Tomorrow we move into our new apartment which is a little bit outside of the city. On top of all that I am working on my last two classes before I graduate. I will be done in December and walk sometime in the spring of next year! I just keep thinking to myself that I will have so much more time when school is done and I can not wait.
@Debjameswhite - Were you able to save any of your sims from Oasis Springs? And do you have a budget for your computer? My husband got me a refurbished computer for around $500 earlier this year when mine gave up on me.
@OJenn I am so excited and happy for you that you will be debt free! I know exactly what that means and I know why you are so happy! I'm so happy for you too. Congratulations. I hope that you and your husband like your new apartment and I'm sorry again you had to make the move. I am grateful though that you are OK . So much going on! You're right in thinking you'll have more time after school is done. What an achievement though! I am proud of you I've grown to love our little family. I still can't believe we've been in Oasis Springs almost a year.
OH hooray! @Jes2G I'm so glad you posted!! I've been searching for my Juliana story and I can't find it!!! And yes, external hard drives are on the new list.
Hello everyone. It's been awhile. I've had some RL health issues. I see there is a new thread. I'm still in Willow Creek only 3rd generation. Is it okay to still post here?
Hey all!
I have a big one for ya. This is what happens when you get not enough pics initially and then collect too many. Oops.
Btw, Malia's hair is from the game. It's great.

Brielle and Kato were dressed to the nines for their big day, they went to the same chapel that Brielle's great-grandmother got married in.
All the family was there including her mother, Raelyn who was very happy to watch the ceremony.
Kato gladly kisses his bride!
Afterwards it was time for cake and celebrating!

I have a big one for ya. This is what happens when you get not enough pics initially and then collect too many. Oops.
Btw, Malia's hair is from the game. It's great.
Malia enjoyed playing with Harrison. She could see why her parents had three.
Harrison really enjoyed the dollhouse and was perfectly happy playing with it on his own
Harrison often came to Malia with a book to read.
“Did you enjoy the story, Harrison?”
“Yay!”
A common occurrence in this family
Malia would often work from home to look after Harrison. Her boss suggested she take up the pipe organ for a little something extra
“Ok, Harrison. It’s time to use the potty ok?”
“Harrison, we don’t throw our food. It belongs in our mouths, not the floor”
Baby # 2 is on it’s way!
Poor Harrison had an accident.
“It’s ok, buddy. No harm done”
In the end, they played horsey to make Harrison feel better
Maybe Harrison wouldn’t throw his food this time…
…No such luck
“Harrison, didn’t Mommy tell you not to do that?”
“-wibble-”
“You’re not supposed to eat your ducky, sweetie”
“Let’s not throw our food today”
Thankfully, Harrison didn’t throw his food but his highchair was pretty gross
While Malia worked, Harrison was perfectly happy to stack blocks
Poor little dude tired himself out
It was Pablo’s turn to read Harrison to sleep that night
Harrison can eat with a spoon now
Of course, it doesn’t help with his throwing problem
Harrison went to the potty all by himself!
Malia was super happy about it
And like that…the wild trait went into high gear
Harrison, no!
Harrison is really good at climbing stairs and Malia only freaks out a little bit
“Harrison, we don’t need to have a temper tantrum.”
Harrison had a nightmare and ran to Malia
“It’s ok, Harrison”
She read him back to sleep
“Ugh. I hope this baby comes soon…”
With Harrison’s nightmare the night previous, Malia really needed a nap
Looks like the beginning of the end to me…
Harrison started to look at books on his own
He liked to eat his books though
Another night, another nightmare
Dad to the rescue
Malia please!
Malia couldn’t help but wonder if this was her water and not pee…
Looks like Malia was right, as she went into labour during this charming family moment
Malia hoped this labour would be quick and without incident
It’s a boy! His name is Zaid.
With Zaid born, Malia could get back to exercise
While she was out, Malia’s boss gave her a promotion. Thanks Bossman!
Meanwhile, Harrison was naked again
Malia was happy to return to work after being surrounded by diapers for so long
Harrison the nudist strikes again
“There you go, Zaid”
Pablo and Harrison have a strong bond
Happy Birthday Harrison!
Harrison may take after his Dad but he isn’t a clone of him
Harrison immediately got his typing skill on
Father/Son bonding moment
Malia forgot how exhausted she always was after work
Zaid aged up a looks like his mom
Malia’s first action was to potty train him
Zaid had an accident and was uninterested in comfort
Finally, a sim of mine that uses their desk
Harrison liked to help Zaid with his blocks
This loser got a promotion
Poor Zaid has some issues
“Mom, Dad! There’s a monster under my bed!”
“Be gone monsters!”
So…risky woohoo snuck up on me
“Pablo, I’m pregnant”
“Already? I thought we’d have some more later but I’m ready as you are hun”
Bonus Shots:
Tender Family Moment
Malia told him to ask the other kids if he could join
She also told the teachers to suck it up
Nice timing Zaid
The new and improved room
@Carlimact - Love love LOVE that update. Harrison and Zaid are so much fun to watch grow up. And baby number three?! lol Have fun with that.
