It's a week day so a slow day.
The chicken coop paid itself off with interest
Some girl came home with Paul but she was still doing her homework when the boys went to work. She left shortly after.
I decided I wanted to see what a genie is like so I sent the boys to explore the catacombs in the hope they would find a dusty lamp. Ian came out first, empty handed. It was late so I sent him home to bed.
I was beginning to think Paul was never coming out so took this pic while waiting.
He came out over an hour later, also empty handed.
A few more small tweaks to jaw, chin and nose. Not sure where I am going with the hair colour. I am not used to EA hair and the colours don't blend as smoothly as I am used to.
At least I feel like his face is coming together nicely
Tried another colour before I closed my game.
Thank you @wsteffi30 I think I like to make males because I found females so disappointing until I started using CC. Now they annoy me for other reasons (their voices especially), so I got lots of practice making males.
Your welcome @Mikezumi. I create the sims I use for my games but I don't spend a lot of time on them. I prefer building their houses and remodeling houses in the game. I don't mind creating females but in my most recent game all the females have a sameness about them and that's the townies, not just the ones I created.
@wsteffi30 I can't build worth a poop so I am envious of those who can. When I am playing, I don't see beyond my sims so their environment doesn't matter as long as they have all the toys they need to keep them happy and that they are in a one storey house so that I can see them all at once when zoomed out. If you think your females all look the same you should "steal" sims from other worlds. Each world seems to have its own distinct style of sim so you will end up with diversity. I often use sims from other worlds as my townies. Of course, I tweak them all because I have never met a sim that meets my strict genetic expectations
Finally finished with Josh. I didn't change him much because I have always loved him as he was. I did, however, use CC sliders to do things that EA sliders can't, like a small nose bump. Now I need to decide on his hair colour. I was originally planning on making him darker but I am used to him as a blonde. After I finished with his tweaking I tried on these two hair colours - ash brown and honey blonde.
Didn't want to keep sending my boys to the mausoleum in the hope they would get a dusty lamp. Fortunately Ian had enough LTH points to buy one. Hideous!
A quick trip to CAS for a body swap!
I have to go and see your other threads, i miss your boys thread and see how the gens are coming along, but @Mikezumi can your sims possibly get hotter When i need a sims drool i know where to come
@bebasim Thank you Jason is not really my cup of tea for every day playing but when I decided to try a genie for the first time I knew he would be perfect and I am very happy with my decision
@meerkattime The money wish was the only one I can see any point to. Besides my boys had so little money because the house nearly wiped out their funds and their part time jobs paid so little.
Make sure you have a good looking sim (be it male or female) to body swap with when the genie comes out because they are pudding and look rather silly in the bright blue skin.
@Mikezumi - agree with meerkattime never tried genies but seeing your pics i will have to try it one day too.
As for your choice yes i couldn't agree more, you really have an eye for some yummy sims, that it's always a pleasure to see your stories and threads... (mind you about to go hunting your other threads
@mikezumi None of your images are loading for me anymore
Edit: Nevermind, I kept reading the other thread and everyone knows. I hope it gets fixed soon
@coco I read in the chat thread that it is happening to others as well. I hope its temporary. It only seems to happen to links that have the url link to flickr.
Perfect timing! Paul harvested an exotic egg just as Ian was paying the household bills
While Paul gardened, Ian summoned the genie for his second wish. The genie (Jason) looked a little confused about being summoned
The boys are now §100,000 richer I discovered the boys can't move home with the real estate option, probably because they are teens. When Jason is added to the household the boys will be able to move to a better house
The boys celebrated their new wealth
Jason went to the bathroom to check himself out when the boys went to school.
Then he went upstairs to another mirror!
Paul doesn't look too thrilled about a classmate coming home with them
Ian summoned Jason so he could join them for dinner
They sent the girl home and Jason went upstairs to play on the computer. When Ian sat down to watch TV, I had Paul join him.
The boys ended their evening by watching the stars
Soooo... what did Ian wish for? Good looks? Nah, that would've been a waste of a wish!
That pic of the genie with light coming from his mouth (of all places!) is freaky!
Heh, when your Sims are this good-looking, you'll be wanting to see them as often as you can, am I right?
Wow, a shiny egg! I bet it makes for a tasty omelette...
Jason the genie... hey, I just noticed the alliteration!
Two teenage boys living under the same roof as a powerful but vain genie who isn't related to either of them, there's a story in that somewhere
What does Paul have against that girl? I hope he didn't put anything in her fish and chips!
@TinySpaceFox Thanks for visiting and for the lovely comments I hope all is well with you and that you did well on your exams
There won't be any hanky panky between Jason and the boys. It was one of the reasons I tried a genie in this save rather than in one with YA sims. I would have been too tempted to allow a romance to try for genie babies
Paul had no problem with the visiting girl. I think the face was from just having finished his homework. In fact, they chatted the whole time that Ian was preparing more fish and chips for the fridge and Paul was the one who sought her out.
@TinySpaceFox I just realized that you can't see my previous pics. Jason is my newest sim creation based on Jason Momoa. Although he is not perfect yet I thought he would be perfect as a genie
Paul looked a little disappointed at not getting another exotic egg
The boys don't cry about barren plants but they do notice them!
Ian's waking wish was to wish for beauty but this is his last wish and I made him wish to free the genie instead.
Ian got started on freeing the genie First he had to freeze the lamp.
Then he had to heat it.
Then it was off to the mausoleum to break the bonds which held the genie which were weakened by the freezing and heating.
I saw there were sims at the cemetery so I sent Paul to socialize.
Ian finally came out of the mausoleum and was ready to summon the genie as the final step to freeing him
Jason was very happy to be free and cleaned Ian to show his gratitude
Ian immediately sought out Paul for some flirting and Jason introduced himself to one of the locals.
When the boys got back from the cemetery, Jason called the real estate agent so they could move out of their one bedroom house.
Although they can afford a fancier house, I like this one because it's not too big and it has a small pond for fishing
Jason has a green thumb and, after learning the gardening skill, wanted to register as a self-employed gardener.
I didn't realize that Jason would float instead of walk!
After the boys got settled I sent them to the local pool.

I was worried that the genie wouldn't grant it when I saw his face
The boys quit their jobs and enrolled in after school classes so I will get to see them more each day
