@Charlottesmom thank you. I hope to post something in the morning. I am much better but I seem to feel unwell in the mornings then recover somewhat at around 10 or 11 am. Then I'm reasonably good until late afternoon when I start feeling miserable again. The good thing is I don't seem to get as bad as previously each day.
I woke at around 3 am today and tried to get back to sleep but coughed until about 5:30 when I finally gave up and got up. I wanted to finish the narration for the next video. I started it before I got sick and I thought I'd better wait in the hope I sound a bit better tomorrow. Fortunately my voice doesn't seem to have been affected too much.
@lanlyn thank you for your comments on the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've got the next one ready for me to finish narrating. I almost skipped Episode 5 but I'm glad I realised I'd done that before I posted this next episode. I was just in too much of a rush to get it all done. Plus I was starting to get sick and found I was easily confused. I'm enjoying the story. I'm generally directing it in the direction I want it to go but am also working with things the Sims get up to automonisly. This next episode will have some interesting drama that leads to the introduction of another new character that, in turn, will lead to even more drama in the following episode. So I do have a good idea of how I'm getting to where I want to be with it but it's taking longer than hoped. But the progress is fun.
The family enjoyed crepes for breakfast
Finnian didn't have a waking wish so I had him unhide the cooking skill points he got from the field trip to the Bistro by preparing an Autumn salad. It triggered a wish to learn a recipe so I gave him the recipe for cheese plate. I always give this recipe to my teens when they learn the cooking skill because I figure it's not cheating because you can't possibly need a recipe to throw some cheese and crackers on a plate!
Moss's waking wish was to find a rock. I remembered that a gem had spawned in the garden recently so had him collect it.
Shannon's waking wish was to harvest a wild plant so I sent him to the community garden which is nearby.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to catch a great fish.
The family has plenty of produce so Shannon only harvested one plant.
Finnian and Moss worked on their paintings until the bus came.
Mikezumi and Shannon did the gardening when the boys left for school.
Mikezumi finished before Shannon and was trying to read but she had barely opened her book when Shannon finished and came over for a flirt
When Finnian aged up to teen I bought the fixer-up car because I thought it would be a fun activity for a teen. I had Mikezumi and Shannon test it out
I got a good belly laugh from the moodlet they got - "Fifth Gear: Welcome to the Fifth Gear Club!"
@Charlottesmom Thanks for the lovely comments I don't mind really white sims as I tend to make mine on the paler side but Clyde is just too bland.
None of them had any potential that I would work with really.
I really hate the noses that eat lips!
You don't have a black heart!
You would think they would be vegetarian steaks and patties given they are grown in the garden but we are talking sims
I used to love Kokeshi too. When I was young my mantlepiece was covered in various Japanese dolls and decorations that my mother brought with her when she came to Australia.
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
You really should play with Dimitri and nectar making! It's so much fun and the animations are cute
Yes! We need to see what Alexandra has!
I also thought that Finnian was trying to tell me something with all the girl paintings but I refuse to take the hint
@Hisonly1531 Have fun with the triplets! Sounds like you got the baby stuff in the nick of time
@plushtrap_107 Thank you I love the tea set and the animations The only thing I don't like about it is that it fills the hunger and energy bars.
@Sigzy05 Fun pics of the sims working on the barre
@meerkattime Thanks for the lovely comments
I will be playing the save for a bit longer because I want to see how effective the tractors will be for a future nectar making save.
I always laugh when I see the weight of the fishes sims catch, especially when it's children catching them. I am pretty strong for an old woman but even I would have difficulty pulling a fish that weighed 50kg out of the water
Glad you got my friend request Thanks
That is nice of Charon to foster the kids
That's sweet that Barnard visits with Cyrus
Glasses while pillow fighting is asking for broken glasses!
Cute pics of the kids
Mikezumi had a wish to prepare nectar worth §100. It was worth 1,500 LTH. I have lots of valuable recipes but they use lots of life fruit. I went through my hundreds of recipes and found one that only used 1 life fruit so she could get her wish. I actually prefer making the cheaper recipes that don't add days to my sims' lives.
She fell over as soon as she started squishing the fruit!
Finnian did his homework when he got home. I got a popup that Prom was coming up but I wanted him to learn how to drive before I organized a date for him.
Finnian came home with a wish to paint. I let him paint long enough to get his wish because Shannon was fertilizing the garden but, when he was done, I had Shannon go to him.
I found Mikezumi working on the fixer-up car!
Because the lot doesn't have a parking space, I had to put the car in Finnian's inventory before he could ask Shannon for a driving lesson. Sims sit so low in this car that you can't see them when looking at the car front-on
I found Mikezumi sending a friendly text to Glummo Marks
The driving lesson went well and Finnian got his licence in one shot
I invited Daniel Taylor over when Finnian got home
Moss got home late because of Scouts.
I don't know how well you can see it, but Shannon and Mikezumi were making out in the garden while Finnian was asking Daniel to be his Prom date
Of course they got hearts
Daniel got a text from Evelyn Morgan. He mustn't have liked what he read
@emorrill Thanks for the lovely comments
Mikezumi is always leaping into Shannon's arms in this save. She didn't do it in the last save I played with them. I like the dismount much more than the first part of the animation.
I never pretend the nectar and drinks from the professional bar are anything other than virgin because I like that my teen sims can drink them too and I don't like to encourage under age drinking.
Because it is a short term save there won't be spares so there won't be female partners with the exception of Shannon with Mikezumi.
Finnian's painting wasn't appropriate for a little boy
@Charlottesmom I like how you tweaked all the clones so differently! The blonde would have to be my favourite too
What kind of names are you wanting for them? Common names or fancy ones?
That's interesting that Dalia and Liz got hearts!
LOL Connor too!
Cute pics of Morty and Ellis singing karaoke
You should totally use Ellis more!
Meggie and Near didn't want to listen to you!
@MoonandStars83 Thanks Fun pic! That's no way to handle a chain saw!
@Jdog054 At least Bessie didn't die alone Welcome to the forum
@MKSizzle Thanks Happy birthday Sebastian Cute pic of Adelyn on the barre!
@TadOlson Thanks and great update Riverdale looks like a lovely green world
@jonny522 Welcome to the forum Have fun with your save and good luck to your main sim with her job at the bookstore
@Springfairy556 Impressive explosion!
Thanks It's the house that comes with Grandpa's Grove.
Daniel stayed for dinner
Mikezumi and Shannon were late to the table because they were flirting in the garden
Moss came home with a wish to catch a bug. The spawner near the bus stop was active and he caught a pretty purple butterfly
Finnian finished his painting while Mikezumi was introducing herself to Daniel.
Mikezumi and Shannon attended a party thrown by Nancy Picard.
When I checked on the boys they were watching the stars
I sent Moss fishing to keep him out of the way then realized he had rolled a wish to attend a party.
Shannon was still chatting with Nancy when I checked on the party.
I teleported Moss to the party so he wouldn't miss out.
He tried to group up with Clark Houvier but I stopped him and had him introduce himself instead. That's Clyde Reeves in the burglar outfit in the background
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars
I was angry when I checked on Moss and found Clark harassing him with his cane! I sent him home before I could be tempted to do something nasty to Clark.
When I checked on the boys they were watching the side of the house
I had Finnian kiss Daniel then send him home as it was late.
@Mikezumi How the heck do you get driving lessons done in one go??? I do it and the teen gets frustrated after X amount of time and it takes long anyway where you have to tend to needs etc.It is 3 skill levels Do you cheat??
@CravenLestat Sometimes it works in one shot but sometimes I have to find them a few times and get them started again because they stopped because of the road or for some reason I can't work out.
I've mostly been away from my computer for the last few days, so I only had short moments to play and to read the forums. I'm planning to catch up on both!
@Mikezumi , the picture of the moment Finnian got his driving licence is so beautiful!
I don't think I've seen a picture of the fixer-upper car before any work is done on it before.
The fact that sims have to read a whole book to learn how to prepare a cheese plate has always been funny to me too!
I've played a mostly uneventful sim day. Lloyd and his mum autonomously hugged each other in the morning. aww!
George prepared muffins for breakfast in his toy oven.
Nathaniel, Lloyd and George went to the library together.
Lloyd needs to find a new partner because it didn't work out with Rosalind, so he started an online dating profile.
His inbox was soon full of messages - mostly from elders and married women, but there was a single and pretty woman of his age, Kristina. He messaged her.
Kristina is a recent immigrant from bin genetics - the downside is that she has no family tree (this particular save is all about large and complex family trees), but I love her looks.
A big part of her genetics comes from this sim, Tamsin Wilkes, who is a doctor in Glendonnach, Scotland in a different save I'm playing.
"got that with another creator's Mod a while back though yours might interest anybody not wanting the other ineractions in their version.'
Ah, what I did was copypaste kids keyframes to toddler so tot is actually playing EA's animations. Would be nice if they could play in it only after they have learnt to walk though.
@bekkasan, aha, good idea! Simselves need lovely houses to live in
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my pics In the Pokemon games, it's hinted that Cyrus doesn't have a happy childhood so I thought it would be better for him to be fostered and have the company of his friends
Barnard is a sweetheart; I'm tempted to add him to the family too
I used to bend my glasses all the time as a kid I'm much more careful now
Poor Jorge, that is awful that he caught bugs
It is great to see Puddinroy's Simself
The sprite is very cute
@Vincent_Vengeance, lol, Crowley knows how to get what he wants
Glad that the explosion didn't put Jon off inventing
@emorrill, thanks, I'm glad you like my pics I love to make pretty coloured Sims
Lovely Sims 2 pics Lol, it's funny when Jules makes a bubbly fountain xD
@MoonandStars83, were you a '90's kid/teen? I mustn't go nostalgic *goes nostalgic* Too late xD
Fairies are awesome
Thanks, I am glad you like Purry
I like the ice sculpture
I hope Serena will get on well with her new brother
Petting cats is always nice
Good luck with working on the Rec Center
@MKSizzle, bummer, too much heat is horrid I hope you will get some cooler weather soon! The heat wave was awful in England but I think it's over now and it's raining here. The plants must be so happy to get a good rainstorm
I wish that happened in Sims too I'd love to see older and younger kids and teens as well
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my pics
Yes, I think that Colin and Ben look very alike too Sometimes it happens in my game; I will have a Sim kid who is almost a clone of their one parent
@meerkatime, sorry that you were allergic to horses I hope your allergies are better now I think we had a horse spring rider too and there was a tractor
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my pics Charon is being a very good foster parent so far (though he does keep thinking about buying new things and wanting to dance a lot )
I make Purry in most of my Team Galactic saves; she is a sweet kitty
That is sad that your Imaginary Friend got corrupted I hope you can make it real again!
Those creepy snowmen are cool
@TadOlson, thanks
Sorry that you have a lot of editing to do; it sounds like hard work I hope the social workers aren't causing you too much trouble.
Deery Meadows looks like it is getting some lovely autumn weather
@lanlyn, no problem
Glad you liked how I had made Charon He likes money a lot in the Pokemon game but he is a good foster dad in Sims
Purry has the friendly trait so I bet she purrs a lot
@Sofmc9, no problem
The kids and toddlers are adorable playing in the puddles
@Charlottesmom, thanks
Charon is very easy going; he just lets the kids do whatever they want while he watches TV or dances
Thanks, I was happy to think up Purry's name because it sounds friendly
That big puddle formed right outside the school so Saturn just had to splash in it
That is a lovely new house and new Sims
Why did you kill off some Sims? Were they being horrid?
@Mikezumi, no problem It is an awesome tea set Lol, I would imagine coffee would fill a Sim's energy bar more
Glad Moss caught a bug
That is a wonderful painting that Finnian has done
Oh no, a random burglar xD
No problem
Glad you enjoyed the pics Charon is being a good foster parent, though he does get distracted by the TV and stereo
Cyrus is teaching Barnard how to play chess. NRASS Story Progression told me that Barnard's logic skill has gone to up level 2
Yes, Jupiter was so rough when she was pillow fighting too
@Karritz, sorry that you're not feeling well I hope you will be better soon
@Silverofdreams30,Angel looks like he is having fun partying
I love that pic of Shadow jumping
@msbeckycat Glad you are able to play.
I just saw you updated the blog. Will read it in a bit and comment later.
@Springfairy556 Thanks Dag that is terrible. Did you talk to the folks in tech to see if you really need to uninstall completely? From what I've read it is a rarity to need a complete uninstall. Hopefully you can pull the save out and keep it as a least resort. I've done that in the past.
@lanlyn Glad to know there will be no rats!
Oh wow....Emad and Natalia are getting bad with each other. Glad they got things smoothed over and you were able to keep them busy so no more drama.
I thought Lynne was hilarious ranting about broken hearts!
I felt sorry for Mikel and he was not the inured party. Tyron seemed oblivious.
I often forget townie kids have come to play if they are outside in the yard.
Thanks for the comments. I'm so glad you shared those paintings. I find myself using them a lot now.
@Sofmc9 Cool! It looks great, can't wait to try it out.
@Charlottesmom Sometimes building is therapeutic for me. I just wish I was faster. That is a really cool house!
Will Blue have his own story in sims?
They look great. He is not handsome but he is appealing. I like his eyes.
That is a sad face and lots of mourning going on.
I'm started working on the new house for the remaining girls and put Becky in as tester. She is very pretty! I don't have Pets in so don't have her trademark shirt. @Mikezumi gave me the web site for her shirt so I could have the elder version, but, it did not require a Pets installation. Had its own mesh. Will have to look and see if I can find a YA version that doesn't require the EP be in. I think I know where to look and will check later today.
lol, I'm scrubbing my brain out right now with the image you put in it. I've still got to fix Jared and Conner and add them too! Jared is getting the scared to death of plumbots trait, even if there is not one!
Dag, another reason I need pets in my game! No parakeets!
Cougars rock! lol
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks. Great pictures from the performance. The singer is very pretty. Angel thinks so too!
Angel sure is having fun!
Beautiful screenshot.
@Mikezumi Shannon running is so cute!
Moss looks so tiny next to Finnian.
Love the fixer up car! Great buy.
Gosh, you think she would be getting better at standing in the tub now.
Congrats, he learned to drive fast!
Daniel is cute.
Of course they got hearts. Glad to see them watching stars and the side of the house so quickly too.
Terrific update.
@meerkattime Yes, the flight would be very long, but, so worth it I think.
Thanks for the comments. I usually like to pair purples with yellows or blues or even pink so this was a fun change and worked so well.
@PalmArrow I enjoyed the update. Kristina is pretty. Good that there was at least one single women on the list.
@plushtrap_107 Thanks for the comments. Hope you get some fun time to play!
Francine(On phone): Hey Michael, not much what’s going on?”
Michael: “Hey I need to talk to you about something important….would you go to the pier with me today so we can speak privately?”
Francine: “Sure thing Michael.Pick me up at my place.Lamar stole my car.”
Michael: “Don’t you mean “repoed” your car?”
Francine: “Very funny.Just pick me up will you?!”
Michael: “Alright Alright.Relax kid.”
Michael: “Francine…you look beautiful…I’d say your trying to be flirty.”
Francine: “Keep dreaming.If I wanted to be flirty, I could do a lot better.”
Michael: I don’t know about that…Let’s go.
Francine: “So what did you want to talk about Michael?”
Michael: “About Martin Mandrazo, you know I owe him a whole heap of money.”
Francine; “Yeah, how the heck are to get that much money.”
Michael: “I have an idea, but before I share that I dea, I need to tell you something about me.Let’s go sit.”
Francine: “Alright.”
Francine: “What’s up Michael?”
Michael: “There’s no easy to way to go about this.So I might as well start..Have you heard of the North Yankton Bank Heist?”
Francine: “Yeah, 10 yrs ago 3 guys robbed the bank up in North Yankton. According to news 2 of the robbers died and one guy is sitting in federal prison.”
Michael: “Partially right.One of the guys died.Or did he? Brad is the one sitting in Prison.Trevor got away…But what about the third guy?
Francine: Dead I guess.I don’t know.What you trying to say?
Michael: “I’m the third guy Francine.My last name isn’t De Santa, its Townley.De Santa is just a giving name.When I got “Shot” the FBI made a deal with me, I can’t say much about that.But I was put into witness protection, moved out here to Los Santos with my family.Basically what I’m saying is I rob banks Francine.
Francine: “I don’t know what to say to that.”
Michael: “You gonna turn on me now like everyone else?
Francine: “No.I’m not gonna do that to you Michael.”
Michael: “Francine…you’re the first person I told this to aside from my family.Amanda is already done with me.Why aren’t you running.”
Francine: “I ain’t gonna judge you on things you’ve done.You helped me get away from Simeon.Least I can do is be there for you.”
I was scanning the skies of Sanctuary to check on the sims and lo and behold Mikezumi is having a party! Judy and Jorge's invitation must have been lost in the mail. I sent Jorge to crash enjoy the party. Judy is working on her quest for becoming a fairy and will go later. Jorge even wore his fancy dud's, but, I think the party was casual based on others dress. The Dunes boys were rushing to get to the party and Jorge cut in front of Auden to greet Mikezumi. Sam is already inside getting ready to play guitar.
Jorge told Mikezumi a funny joke. She's got a great laugh!
Sam sets up and is making background music for the party.
Emily arrives at the party and is greeted by Mikezumi. They spend a few minutes chatting while I go check on Judy.
Judy is now a fairy. She completed the last of the opportunity and was rewarded with wings. Judy's favorite color is aqua and the fairy's picked the perfect color wings and I didn't have to go and change them. It was fun doing the opportunity as it was something that had not come my way even after 6 years of playing the game.
Judy arrives at the party and gets to know Mikezumi.
Emily watches Sam play for a few. When Sam stops playing they introduce themselves. Hearts!
Judy fixed autumn salad as she was quite hungry after all the hunting for butterfly's.
Sam and Emily get a chance to chat. Alpha apparently is really enjoying the party. He keeps interrupting Sam and Emily while they chat. I was so tempted to switch to Mikezumi's household and shut him down! I gotta let what happens happen though.
Not sure what was going on here. Asher had gone upstairs and Mikezumi followed him. I followed just after taking a couple pics of Emily and Sam. Whatever it was couldn't have been bad, they have a good relationship. He is a teenager so perhaps she was telling him to not snoop in her house.
Sam got out his drums and started playing. Dag gum that interrupting Alpha! I didn't bust the conversation. When Asher came downstairs he walked between them and it stopped the conversation. Yeah for Asher! They watched him play for a bit.
Jorge finds Judy and is surprised about her new look. Judy tells him about becoming a fairy. She transforms to pixie form and playfully pesters Jorge. I don't think he minds a bit. He still has that first kiss wish. Just do it dude! He did give her a lovely hug though. Maybe I better check my rotation caste that I put them in and be sure I allowed romance. I don't usually because I generally don't want my sims romancing other sims without me, but, I thought I changed it for this story. They are the only ones in the rotation caste and that is mostly to protect them while I'm fixing the other houses and taking pics of the SS as I add them. I do switch households when I'm adding the SS to get the pictures.

Might have some time with my Sims at University tomorrow though if I am lucky.

As some sims start as adults and elders in a town, I age them down to young adult
so they can age togheter with Angel. Finnegan Sawyer aged down.

Another day for Angel,
he woke up did his chores and tended the small garden.
[img][/img]

Friday afternoon he went to The Grind and met some more
townies.

Had a drink and he ended up here

George prepared muffins for breakfast in his toy oven.
Nathaniel, Lloyd and George went to the library together.
Lloyd needs to find a new partner because it didn't work out with Rosalind, so he started an online dating profile.
His inbox was soon full of messages - mostly from elders and married women, but there was a single and pretty woman of his age, Kristina. He messaged her.
Kristina is a recent immigrant from bin genetics - the downside is that she has no family tree (this particular save is all about large and complex family trees), but I love her looks.
A big part of her genetics comes from this sim, Tamsin Wilkes, who is a doctor in Glendonnach, Scotland in a different save I'm playing.
"got that with another creator's Mod a while back though yours might interest anybody not wanting the other ineractions in their version.'
Ah, what I did was copypaste kids keyframes to toddler so tot is actually playing EA's animations. Would be nice if they could play in it only after they have learnt to walk though.

I make Purry in most of my Team Galactic saves; she is a sweet kitty
That is sad that your Imaginary Friend got corrupted
Those creepy snowmen are cool
@TadOlson, thanks
Sorry that you have a lot of editing to do; it sounds like hard work
Deery Meadows looks like it is getting some lovely autumn weather

Purry has the friendly trait so I bet she purrs a lot
@Sofmc9, no problem
The kids and toddlers are adorable playing in the puddles

Charon is very easy going; he just lets the kids do whatever they want while he watches TV or dances
Thanks, I was happy to think up Purry's name because it sounds friendly
That big puddle formed right outside the school so Saturn just had to splash in it

@msbeckycat Glad you are able to play.
I just saw you updated the blog. Will read it in a bit and comment later.
@Springfairy556 Thanks
@lanlyn Glad to know there will be no rats!
Oh wow....Emad and Natalia are getting bad with each other. Glad they got things smoothed over and you were able to keep them busy so no more drama.
I thought Lynne was hilarious ranting about broken hearts!
I felt sorry for Mikel and he was not the inured party. Tyron seemed oblivious.
I often forget townie kids have come to play if they are outside in the yard.
Thanks for the comments. I'm so glad you shared those paintings. I find myself using them a lot now.
@Sofmc9 Cool! It looks great, can't wait to try it out.
@Charlottesmom Sometimes building is therapeutic for me. I just wish I was faster. That is a really cool house!
Will Blue have his own story in sims?
They look great. He is not handsome but he is appealing. I like his eyes.
That is a sad face and lots of mourning going on.
I'm started working on the new house for the remaining girls and put Becky in as tester. She is very pretty! I don't have Pets in so don't have her trademark shirt. @Mikezumi gave me the web site for her shirt so I could have the elder version, but, it did not require a Pets installation. Had its own mesh. Will have to look and see if I can find a YA version that doesn't require the EP be in. I think I know where to look and will check later today.
lol, I'm scrubbing my brain out right now with the image you put in it. I've still got to fix Jared and Conner and add them too! Jared is getting the scared to death of plumbots trait, even if there is not one!
Dag, another reason I need pets in my game! No parakeets!
Cougars rock! lol
@MKSizzle He is his Dad's boy!
@TadOlson Thanks.
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks.
Angel sure is having fun!
Beautiful screenshot.
@Mikezumi Shannon running is so cute!
Moss looks so tiny next to Finnian.
Love the fixer up car! Great buy.
Gosh, you think she would be getting better at standing in the tub now.
Congrats, he learned to drive fast!
Daniel is cute.
Of course they got hearts. Glad to see them watching stars and the side of the house so quickly too.
Terrific update.
@meerkattime Yes, the flight would be very long, but, so worth it I think.
Thanks for the comments.
@PalmArrow I enjoyed the update. Kristina is pretty. Good that there was at least one single women on the list.
@plushtrap_107 Thanks for the comments.

I was scanning the skies of Sanctuary to check on the sims and lo and behold Mikezumi is having a party! Judy and Jorge's invitation must have been lost in the mail.
Jorge told Mikezumi a funny joke. She's got a great laugh!
Sam sets up and is making background music for the party.
Emily arrives at the party and is greeted by Mikezumi. They spend a few minutes chatting while I go check on Judy.
Judy is now a fairy. She completed the last of the opportunity and was rewarded with wings. Judy's favorite color is aqua and the fairy's picked the perfect color wings and I didn't have to go and change them.
Judy arrives at the party and gets to know Mikezumi.
Emily watches Sam play for a few. When Sam stops playing they introduce themselves. Hearts!
Judy fixed autumn salad as she was quite hungry after all the hunting for butterfly's.
Sam and Emily get a chance to chat. Alpha apparently is really enjoying the party. He keeps interrupting Sam and Emily while they chat. I was so tempted to switch to Mikezumi's household and shut him down! I gotta let what happens happen though.
Not sure what was going on here. Asher had gone upstairs and Mikezumi followed him. I followed just after taking a couple pics of Emily and Sam. Whatever it was couldn't have been bad, they have a good relationship. He is a teenager so perhaps she was telling him to not snoop in her house.
Sam got out his drums and started playing. Dag gum that interrupting Alpha! I didn't bust the conversation. When Asher came downstairs he walked between them and it stopped the conversation. Yeah for Asher! They watched him play for a bit.
Jorge finds Judy and is surprised about her new look. Judy tells him about becoming a fairy. She transforms to pixie form and playfully pesters Jorge. I don't think he minds a bit. He still has that first kiss wish. Just do it dude! He did give her a lovely hug though. Maybe I better check my rotation caste that I put them in and be sure I allowed romance. I don't usually because I generally don't want my sims romancing other sims without me, but, I thought I changed it for this story. They are the only ones in the rotation caste and that is mostly to protect them while I'm fixing the other houses and taking pics of the SS as I add them. I do switch households when I'm adding the SS to get the pictures.
