The Sourgrape family:
First I found a picture of Aiden (Jones) Sourgrape, he had some reconstruction when playing the family in Riverview. He and Hannah had Alerion in a previous Praavengame.
AIerion Sourgrape and wife Agnes (Crumplebottom)
Old Lady Hannah, Alerions mother, might be working on a painting of her own shoes
Servant Marla is taking care of Young Master Bartholomew who aged up to toddler
Lord Sourgrape likes to stay up late, Lady Agnes does not.
Lord Sourgrapes latest horse. She´s a halfbreed if you cant tell
Young Master Bartholomew taking a p00p
Old Lady Hannah spends a lot of time with her grandson
The servants children is being raised in the kitchen
Servant chores bites
Since the queen is an enthusiastic painter, so are all the ladies of Praaven. And Agnes is expecting again.
Lady Agnes gave birth to Beatrice and Bronhilde
Young Master Bartholomew grew up and became a child
Hey I have a question for you: Where did you find his one piece toddler outfit there ^^ ?
Also, have you noticed any glitchiness in Praaven that I should know about for later? I've been preparing the world for a future story I wish to tell.
I was chatting with @GraceyManor about the rabbithole rugs. Do you use any of them in your save?
I was curious if I should add a School rug somewhere because I worry about kids always being grounded for not going and they won't be out and about on the streets like I want them to be. But then again like I told Gracey, maybe if there's no school around that won't happen?? I'm just curious what your thoughts are and how you're doing the rabbithole stuff too. Thanks!
Your characters are beautiful and are very realistically dressed for the time period.
More comments to come later today my friends. @coco I've seen your comments to me and haven't forgotten about you. Sorry I missed your birthday announcement in the PM. I really don't know how I did... My mind has been on the fritz lately! @bekkasan I haven't forgotten about your comments either. I promise I'll get back on here once my busy morning is over.
@emorrill The toddler outfit is from TSR, I think I you can find it if you search for steampunk, it´s a pj but avaliable for most outfit categories.
The door arches in the houses are pretty much all glitched. Before starting a game it´s best to go around and grab them and put them back with MOO on. Also spiral staircases can be glitched.
I took out all rugs except for Medical, bookstore and one grocery store. No schools available and no repercussions.
@AbellaKellaher Just quickly before I'm off, you can use 'fadeobjects off' to keep the trees from disappearing. If you are in tab mode and they still disappear just use the arrow keys a bit and they should come back. The tiny group plumbobs are so annoying I agree!
I would recommend getting an external harddrive, that's where I usually keep all my screenshots that I've taken over the years
Thank you so much @coco !! I had no idea. Oh that makes me so happy, thank you!
I have a secondary hard drive that I keep images of any sort on (like I said, camera enthusiast) but it's only 300g so it gets full pretty fast. Then I parse because I know I'm keeping (sometimes) thousands of images that I don't like, that I think were poorly taken, etc. because I'd keep them all forever if I could, just because it's a daunting task. I should parse them and then store them, but I don't always do what I should I'm hoping to convince my husband that I need a gaming laptop rather than this huge desktop so if that happens then the main HD on this will turn into a third active storage drive. I still have the hard-drives from previous machines up to 4 rigs ago I think. They go into our network, along with our burned movies, etc. Ever see the XFiles? Do you know who the Lone Gunmen are? Yeah there "hideout" or bunker or whatever? That's pretty much my home office There are literally three times the machines in this house than there are people
Crown Prince Caspian is just returning to the city after an early morning ride
A little bit later breakfast is being served in the dining hall
Caspian is a little bit late
After the royal breakfast the servants can have their morning foods
Gabrielle is telling Piper about her little girl Summer is being sent away to live at the home for children
Summer (the child of Gabrielle and the King) as a child
Princess Cordelia is a toddler
Gabrielle is assigned with taking care of Princess Cordelia
The king is not an excellent rider as it turns out. The horse was quickly relocated to Pendragon keep where Lord Arthur will use it as a brood mare.
Gabrielle is pregnant again
Crown Prince Caspian grew up and became a YA, and it was time for him to take on some responsibility. Meeting with the Lords was his first assignement.
Sir Lowell, Lord of Lughaven:
Lady Olive is pregnant
And a few days later so is Lady Angelina
Lady Olive gave birth to Desmond and he turned toddler
Lady Angelina had a girl
Sir Lowell is showing his unruly horse who is boss
Sir Lowell went to the Royal Castle to speak to Prince Caspian about obtaining some extra land
Upon his return to the keep the ladies was sleeping in their favorite chairs
At this point toddlermania is the only way to describe the situation at the keep. The ladies and Reisa is very busy with taking care of the little troublemakers, and Lady Angelina was once again with child.
Kermit grew into a child, thankfully. One less toddler to deal with
Servant Reisa turned YA and it was very exhausting
Sir Lowells´ horses
Lady Gwynnets´home for children:
Bron Browne of Tovar and Summer, daughter of Gabrielle moved in
The first breakfast with Lady Gwynneth, Bron is acctually her grandson but she might be unaware
Summer is not happy about the early mornings, at the Castle she could do what ever she wanted as no one had time for her
Jolen Keaton of Tovar, the son of Justine and Lord Arthur arrived very early
The bast...s of Pendragon keep
Lady Gwynneth played the children some music for breakfast before putting them to work
@ZhakiraP I've never played a period game, yours looks super fun! I noticed the pregnant servant - does she have a SO or is there drama behind that pregnancy?
@Mikezumi you're very sweet to pray for me, but there are tons more worthy candidates. - I LOVE that Shannon and Mikezumi adopted a little boy!! (well, of course a boy ) but YAY! I am so enjoying your updates with your SS, they make me smile from ear to ear If I ever play my SS, it'll be my younger SS, simply because I find it slightly unnerving to look at my same-age (ish) one. All your sim kids learn to fish irl, all my RL kids (including the ones I nannied) had to learn IRL. I LOVE to fish, cook clean and eat fish. I miss living in northern MI as opposed to as south as you can get. I prefer not to eat Lake Erie fish, as it suffers highly from agricultural runoff in this area and beaches get shut down from algae bloom or e coli warnings
@MadIris Don't you just love it when your sims are on vacay and at one place together but when you tell them to go somewhere else one always leaves the other in the dust, like SEEYA! Especially in dusty hot Egypt Once I had a pregnant sim about to give birth so I sent the whole family to the hospital together. But because pregnant sims walk so slow they all just ran right past her, leaving her to waddle all the way to the hospital by herself
@coco We don't actually live on the lake, just near to a very very big one that effects the weather systems in this area, they call it the "Lake Effect." However we are hoping with all hope to buy some lakefront property in the next four years and sell this place. As I said above, I love to fish and I'd be happy spending the rest of my days catching my dinner hehe
@emorrill I'm such a dunder head - is Emma your SS?? I'm going to feel like so obtuse if you say yes lol! I'm also going to smile from ear to ear that she's married to Sam! /swoon!!! And I STILL love her wedding photos.
Do you think any of you with SSs would be interested in playing a family with all of our SSs and sharing those stories? I think that'd be so fun
@Silverofdreams30 Thank you, I think I found the beards at either MTS or TSR. Not sure.
@AbellaKellaher Thank you, it is very entertaining. No significant other, only accidents
@GraceyManor Kids clothes; Store, TSR (has a few good dresses mainly that can be used with different fabrics to look very old fashiony) and MTS mainly, maid´s outfits MTS.
@PalmArrow Regarding your post on p3544, I use TSR Workshop to change textures. I also tried that tutorial and I couldn't do what I wanted.
Should you need help with TSR Workshop, you can count on me. Here's the link of the program: https://www.thesimsresource.com/workshop/
I believe you have the gimp or photoshop plug-in to make the DDS files.
@bekkasan Wow, Dwight is a Detective! There are some really crazy and fun cases. I don't think I played the lost wallet, though. I should have Sam be a Detective.
@imdragonit Your Odd household on p3545 reminded me of Ghostbusters. I can't remember if it's the first or second movie, where there's a parallel dimension in the woman's fridge.
@Miekzumi That diamond ring is awesome! I'm happy for sim-Mikezumi. XD Best wishes for the couple!
I'm in love with her adventures in the Day Care service.
**It's funny you mentioned lags in Roaring Heights with Grampa's Grove, because I played them together too!
**After a lot of struggles, I started to enjoy more and more Aurora Skies. I think I was grumpy because I felt the need to build around -and I wasn't in the mood.
**I've been sharing lots of screenshots with my boyfriend lately. I don't know if he really likes when I tell sim-stories, but his reactions are priceless. I teased him that his simself was sending a message. Later we realized that his simself wants to be an astronaut and that's why he needed to be in good shape. Also, he was surprised with the size Keany's frog.
**I love your sims in pajamas, I want to get the female one next time I add simpoints.
@Steamvarius I love your new profile picture! That house of your sims' is a blast!
@Brandontaylor I think I started to mix up your sims. Who is Ava Sinclair? Is Brittany your main challenge sim?
I hope you can work out those problems with your game. That's why I like using the CDs. Luckily I started collecting them in time.
@GraceyManor OMG Poor Josh!!! The post on page 3548 was hard. That Tyler guy is such a jerk!
I wonder what he's up to...
@emorrill You can see a baby's gender using Master Controller. It's in the status part. Check the relationship one, it'll tell who the father is too. BTW, your simself didn't want to have any children so far.
@coco Kyla is fun; I had Clover befriend her. Actually she's friendly. So far, she's the town journalist.
@Rubyskywalker Here are some suggestions:
*Clumsy - Fergus or Fergie, since Fergie recorded this awesome video clipe named Clumsy "Clumsy coz' I'm falling in love... in loove"
*Insane - Randle (Jack Nicholson's character in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") or Alice (she lives in Wonderland)
*Loner - Wolf, or Wolfgang. A Lonely Wolf.
*Slob - Swaine, if you want to go literal. Or any pig from Animal Farm: Napoleon, Snowball, Squealer.
*Snob - Miranda (Devil's wear Prada)
@TinySpaceFox I'm glad your exams are over! I wish I were on vacation. :-(
*What a cute drawing!
@Silverofdreams30 Good luck with Steam! I hope you sorted things out.
@ZhakiraP OMG Princess Cordelia looks like Cersei from GoT!!! :-O
Your medieval game looks fantastic!
"Kristy, why are you ringing the bell.Its your house." "Its not my house at the moment." Josh rolled his eyes.Kristy was being silly.
"I thought you were gonna listen?" He asked her."I am.Let's go."
They went down to the local starbucks."Kristy, I swear on my own life, I'm not using that site.Believe me, please? Why would I risk losing you and my family?" "Explain the last logged in.Someone was logged in.Can't tell me someone is just going around using your account." "Why is that hard to believe?" "Because its just an excuse you're using..." "Kristy..." She just looked away.
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you care
You'll know for certain the man I really am
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Today the fire gods seem to have a personal Vendetta against my sims. First, the eldest son decided to deep fry something, but then quit to answer his phone causing a fire. That was annoying but ok, it happens.
Then I notice a sim freaking out and click onto them and see a meteor is incoming so I start trying to get sims in the house (eventually cheating and just teleporting them inside), and the meteor hits and blows up my beautiful garden. Most of the plants are destroyed and now there is a giant crater.
Then, while this is going on there is a second explosion and the sims all have an action saying "React to detonation" What the heck? Did one of my sims decide to blow something up in the garden right after a meteor hit? What's wrong with you?
So, now all the windows burned off that wall on the first floor, and the door also burned up. This has been a really hectic week for this family and not how I wanted to spend the son's last week in this house before he moves out with his wife and children!

@thuggishsplicer, 3552.
Thanks! The original house, Beaux Chateau had this annoying gradient when I flattened the lot...So I had to redo the patio, the pool, the garage and a few other things to get the gradient mostly level. The view is awesome, too. Since Rachel is the main sim in my current family, I thought I'd use her as an avatar for a change.
@Linamints, 3552.
Yikes. That's really unfortunate. Meteors and fires are no fun.
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
Good night nelly I have fallen behind again. Catching up from the end of page 3548:
@GraceyManor Ohhh boy this isn't good.
I completely understand Kristy being upset with Josh for having a dating profile and checking it (which we know he isn't...) but she should allow him the chance to explain himself.
And she left for a hotel without bringing the babies with her? Sorry, I guess with my motherly instincts if I was that mad at hubby and chose to stay in a hotel I'd be taking my daughter with me.
----
Cute seeing Josh play with the kids at the beach. I guess it was a good time for them to bond with daddy huh?
----
I love seeing the world come to life.But I gotta be careful, I got a mod that makes proposals and ask to be girlfriend/boyfriend
autonomous, if I'm not looking my sim may be randomly engaged LOL.
^Yeeeeah I could never have that mod/setting in my game. I like to be in control of relationships!
Case and point: Before I completely shut off EA Story Progression I switch households from my main one, they were a very happily married couple and I LOVED them , and after playing the other household for a while I go back to my main household and my lovely couple had gotten divorced. Behind my back. That was NOT in the plans! So yeah, never again!
----
Aww, perfect song for Kristy to hear Josh sing.
Oh yay they finally talked the whole issue out with each other.
@Silverofdreams30 Hee hee I'm getting to know you better.
----
Love the style of Matthew's new home!
Bath shots!
----
forgot to mention, that mixologist was not as cute before
lol.
Just woke up and read the thread. Not ready to comment yet because coffee hasn't kicked in but Logan must have used a nose bump slider because he arrived in my game with it so coco must use the same one as me. I will look up who made mine later this morning.
Good to know. It's ok if you don't find which nose bump slider you have. This one works pretty well. Oh hey you have the same one! Sweet! I think I need to give it a little more definition on Logan.
----
Dayvid: Wow that's an interesting way to spell it.
Thanks for all the awesome comments on LJS and glad you were able to catch up. I need to start taking photos for the next part!
----
Matthew Mango doesn't really look good as a female does he? I'm sure with your final edit of him he does. I'm with you, Harley is the hottest out of them all.
----
Love the colors of Zumi's new work outfit. I've always thought Blue and Yellow go well together, I dunno why.
I know it would be hard not to notice a buff shirtless male but Ashley should have buttoned her lip!
^Right!?
Shannon's gonna be a Black Belt before too long.
@coco LOL! This Gif had me about falling out of my chair!
If you want I can type up a list of the main sliders I use but I think he looks very handsome in your game as he is right now
^Nah it's ok because I agree with you. He does look pretty darn sexy in my game as is. Thanks though. I may add just a little more definition to the nose bump.
I can see Sam as a knight, he would look so handsome riding a horse too
^OMGosh right!? Let me see if I can find a pic of the book cover for the QL book where he leaps into a knight.......
Ok so the cover artist didn't do the best job on Scott there, but it's an idea.
I can absolutely see the difference with the nose bump, and it gives him a very nice realistic touch!
^Thanks lady.
----
Tamsin's face when you cancelled her workaholic-ness!
Congrats on them having a boy! I really want Sam and Emma's first to be a boy!
Beautiful pics of the town while it's raining.
Yeah I guess I could have my sim seek out another doctor sim, but sometimes they're hard to find. I'll have to give that mod a try and see how well it works.
More to come here in a bit. I gotta read @AbellaKellaher 's story right now.
Now that I'm not busy, I'm going to try and figure out what is causing my expansions not to work. Haven't found much information on how to fix the issue but if all else fails, I'll just play the base game only with a new story. It'd be better than nothing. Anyway, I know I fell behind on feedback, I'm going to work on that tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day/night and happy Simming!
@AbellaKellaher Sorry you have to suffer through Migranes like that. And yeah opioids are things you have to be real cautious with. (I laughed when you said "especially with my geneology" )
This update is pretty exciting for me to share considering this was the story I made up in my head before Shari and Ammon even existed to sort of explain Niella and Karlie's friendship as I played the family so putting it into story form was actually a great joy.
^Oh honey I can relate to this! Do you know how many times I played out Sam and Emma finally hooking it up (and making out! ) in my head before I could finally WRITE about it!? It did fill me with tons of happy.
Apparently this update was WAYYYY too big to update at once (more than 14K characters over , and that was still missing the last 1/4 of the story! )
^I can relate to that too.
Thanks for the tag. Hope you see mine here.
Comments to your story in a Spoiler just in case.
Well now...this is quite the revelation for Niella!
When Adrastria answered the door, Hapimou caught his breath. He could instantly see why. She wasn't just different in every way from those in Al Simhara, she was stunning. Fair skin such as hers in this area was far less common than even his own blue skin, and unheard of from someone who had lived their entire life in the area. Her hair was so blonde it was almost white, and the sun radiated from it like it was spun platinum gold.
^Aww! So romantic!
They're gonna have tea!
Well of course he wants to visit her again!
6 Languages? Dang, she's as smart as Sam! Even a master chess player!
OMGosh this here was so beautifully written!
He wasn't sure if her visit was something from purely friendship, and if it was he would accept that as a gift though a bittersweet one. However he wanted to make sure she understood that his feelings for her were more than that, though surely if she knew how much more she would be overwhelmed.
Aww, I can understand why he was nervous to kiss her, but man I wish they did! (You know me, ever the hopeless romantic. )
Magdy is a je'rk!
Yeah MorcuCorp always seemed shady to me, but then again I didn't finish all the "quests" so I dunno for sure...
Samir is a good guy.
Intriguing...girl you tell an awesome story! I look forward to more!
The sim Craven gifted to you IS very lovely.
I'm such a dunder head - is Emma your SS?? I'm going to feel like so obtuse if you say yes lol! I'm also going to smile from ear to ear that she's married to Sam! /swoon!!! And I STILL love her wedding photos.
^Why yes, yes she is.
I had to! I couldn't help myself for obvious reasons.
Next update! Yay! I promise I'll read it later and give out my thoughts. I'm pressed for time at the moment.
Yes! Do throw some more southernisms at me.
Thanks for letting me know how to check the gender of the baby through MC! You rock!
@coco Bekkasan got me covered on how to check the gender of the baby though MC. At least you knew how to do it and here I am over here never having any idea!
@thuggishsplicer I think that first shirt you put on Emma is cute! I love purple!
^Woo! Lookin' good Emma! My goal I'm working on right now is to eventually be that skinny.
Nice shot of Sam's butt!
----
Odd that my SS doesn't want any kids? That's only been my desire (and moreso when I got married) since like...childhood!
@TinySpaceFox Your Gif of tired Martin there is awesome!
Nice to see you pop in! I can only imagine how tired you feel... Rest up and we'll be here.
Daaaang! Even more awesome is that SKETCH of yours! I can't draw anything worth a darn!
@Silverofdreams30 Of course Jake turns out to be a hottie.
Ty!!
I remember their wedding day in France.
----
Have fun with Praaven it was too many edits for me to enjoy that world, but it was beautiful.
Since when can you purchase vehicles from the food truck parking spot?
^This is news to me too!
----
Kristy my dear, why WOULD he risk you and the kids like that?? Hear the loving words the man is singing to you...
@ZhakiraP Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it. I guess I'll do away with the school rug. I might keep the City Hall and Police ones just to keep things interesting.
----
OMGosh Praaven is SO gorgeous!!! I can't wait until I can see it in LIVE mode after all this world editing! I swear I will keep a copy of all my edits in a safe place!
Goodness if I can remember where those banners for the horses to wear were... ?
Awesome update!
I left Keanu at the pond to get his wishes. Mikezumi caught a lobster and rolled a wish to prepare Lobster Thermidor.
I bought a treehouse for Keanu and Mikezumi and Shannon tested it for safety
Mikezumi was trying to read but Shannon wasn't done with her
Who says TS3 sims are emotionless? If a man looked at me this intently I would melt!
Keanu played in the treehouse when he got home
Keanu discovered the easel I had bought earlier in the save when Mikezumi wanted to spend some money. It was in the perfect spot for an artistic boy who loves the outdoors
I could hear Shannon and Mikezumi getting up to no good and found that Mikezumi was the one to instigate it this time
Although Shannon and Mikezumi don't have balls, Keanu does
Mikezumi prepared Keanu's favourite while they played
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Keanu got started on the block table skill
Shannon admired his wedding ring while enjoying a nightcap
@Brandontaylor I remember Brittany's shirt!
The family must be the most regular family in town with all the fruit they eat
Good luck with your garden, Lauren
I am sure Christopher is enjoying fishing in his retirement He does look a tad over-dressed for fishing, though
Yep, they get clean and have fun at the same time!
Congrats to Brittany on her promotion to level 5
Thank you I don't have a lot of male clothes that I really like so I try to do the best with what I have.
Life fruit and working out! Lauren will be super fit!
Uh oh! Bad life fruit
It's good that Lauren can plant her own life fruit!
Congrats to Mack on his promotion
Lauren's book sounds like my cup of tea!
Your plans for your new save sounds like fun!
@thuggishsplicer Thanks I think Harley might be the only one of the boys I will keep
@jonny522 Congrats to Ryan on catching his first fish
Lindsey's mother must be getting quite old but I am glad she is well
Cute seeing the bedtime story My sim kids are never tired enough to have stories read to them
Lovely family life update
@ZhakiraP Arthur is very good looking!
Staying up to garden sounds a very rebellious activity for a parent-free son!
It's nice that he visited his mother
Uh oh! Betty looks like she's about to drop!
Congrats on the birth of Bron
Oh! Justine too!
That birth certainly went unnoticed!
What drama! I wonder if Arthur was tempted to let Betty die?
The royal family definitely look the part!
Congrats on the birth of Cordelia
Ah yes! I definitely recognize Agnes!
Lots of babies being born in your game
Sir Kermit! LOL
@bekkasan Awwww It's good that Dwight found a quick job that didn't keep him from his family for long
Beautiful shot of Lorelei swimming in the morning sun
Dwight's wheels are cool!
Good job on Suzuki's case, Dwight!
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments It was a happy accident that Mikezumi and Shannon had matching pajamas
I am quite happy with how Harley turned out
I have a household of two couples (Mikoto and Himiko Suoh and Tatara and Shina Tatsuka...based off of an anime and OCs of me and my friend). Mikoto and Himiko became newlyweds and tried to have a baby. Tatara and Shina tried to have a baby as well because I wanna see if I can get them to be near each other or on the same day in birth (never known it to happen or not so it'll be fun.
Tatara is going to miss work due to being tired, hungry, yada yada again (because apparently high will does not indicate taking care of yourself).
Shina is trying to up her writing skill (I'm having trouble with that since it seems she might be stuck. I think she got glitched since when I removed University and Late Night from my computer due to game crashing problems and moved her and the household to Supernatural's Midnight Hollow I forgot she was writing a sports book. It now has her stuck at level 3 with full bar).
Himiko and Mikoto are sleeping off their wedding party/night.

Hey I have a question for you: Where did you find his one piece toddler outfit there ^^ ?
Also, have you noticed any glitchiness in Praaven that I should know about for later? I've been preparing the world for a future story I wish to tell.
I was chatting with @GraceyManor about the rabbithole rugs. Do you use any of them in your save?
I was curious if I should add a School rug somewhere because I worry about kids always being grounded for not going and they won't be out and about on the streets like I want them to be. But then again like I told Gracey, maybe if there's no school around that won't happen?? I'm just curious what your thoughts are and how you're doing the rabbithole stuff too. Thanks!
Your characters are beautiful and are very realistically dressed for the time period.
More comments to come later today my friends.
@coco I've seen your comments to me and haven't forgotten about you. Sorry I missed your birthday announcement in the PM. I really don't know how I did... My mind has been on the fritz lately!
@bekkasan I haven't forgotten about your comments either. I promise I'll get back on here once my busy morning is over.
Have fun Simming everyone!
The door arches in the houses are pretty much all glitched. Before starting a game it´s best to go around and grab them and put them back with MOO on. Also spiral staircases can be glitched.
I took out all rugs except for Medical, bookstore and one grocery store. No schools available and no repercussions.
Thank you
Thank you so much @coco !! I had no idea. Oh that makes me so happy, thank you!

Welcome back @TinySpaceFox ! Hope your exams went well!
away to dinner at a family friends place.
@emorrill
Have fun with Praaven it was too many edits for me to enjoy that world,
but it was beautiful.
@ZhakiraP
You have so many nice looking sims, your save seems fun.
Where do you find those great beards?
@bekkasan
Thank you, I moved Matthews save to my normal
folder now since there was a problem with the other.
@TinySpaceFox
Congrats to finally finishing your exams, Your sims have landed in my world not met
them yet.
The Royal family:
Crown Prince Caspian is just returning to the city after an early morning ride
A little bit later breakfast is being served in the dining hall
Caspian is a little bit late
After the royal breakfast the servants can have their morning foods
Gabrielle is telling Piper about her little girl Summer is being sent away to live at the home for children
Summer (the child of Gabrielle and the King) as a child
Princess Cordelia is a toddler
Gabrielle is assigned with taking care of Princess Cordelia
The king is not an excellent rider as it turns out. The horse was quickly relocated to Pendragon keep where Lord Arthur will use it as a brood mare.
Gabrielle is pregnant again
Crown Prince Caspian grew up and became a YA, and it was time for him to take on some responsibility. Meeting with the Lords was his first assignement.
Sir Lowell, Lord of Lughaven:
Lady Olive is pregnant
And a few days later so is Lady Angelina
Lady Olive gave birth to Desmond and he turned toddler
Lady Angelina had a girl
Sir Lowell is showing his unruly horse who is boss
Sir Lowell went to the Royal Castle to speak to Prince Caspian about obtaining some extra land
Upon his return to the keep the ladies was sleeping in their favorite chairs
At this point toddlermania is the only way to describe the situation at the keep. The ladies and Reisa is very busy with taking care of the little troublemakers, and Lady Angelina was once again with child.
Kermit grew into a child, thankfully. One less toddler to deal with
Servant Reisa turned YA and it was very exhausting
Sir Lowells´ horses
Lady Gwynnets´home for children:
Bron Browne of Tovar and Summer, daughter of Gabrielle moved in
The first breakfast with Lady Gwynneth, Bron is acctually her grandson but she might be unaware
Summer is not happy about the early mornings, at the Castle she could do what ever she wanted as no one had time for her
Jolen Keaton of Tovar, the son of Justine and Lord Arthur arrived very early
The bast...s of Pendragon keep
Lady Gwynneth played the children some music for breakfast before putting them to work
@Mikezumi you're very sweet to pray for me, but there are tons more worthy candidates. - I LOVE that Shannon and Mikezumi adopted a little boy!! (well, of course a boy ) but YAY! I am so enjoying your updates with your SS, they make me smile from ear to ear If I ever play my SS, it'll be my younger SS, simply because I find it slightly unnerving to look at my same-age (ish) one. All your sim kids learn to fish irl, all my RL kids (including the ones I nannied) had to learn IRL. I LOVE to fish, cook clean and eat fish. I miss living in northern MI as opposed to as south as you can get. I prefer not to eat Lake Erie fish, as it suffers highly from agricultural runoff in this area and beaches get shut down from algae bloom or e coli warnings
@MadIris Don't you just love it when your sims are on vacay and at one place together but when you tell them to go somewhere else one always leaves the other in the dust, like SEEYA! Especially in dusty hot Egypt Once I had a pregnant sim about to give birth so I sent the whole family to the hospital together. But because pregnant sims walk so slow they all just ran right past her, leaving her to waddle all the way to the hospital by herself
@coco We don't actually live on the lake, just near to a very very big one that effects the weather systems in this area, they call it the "Lake Effect." However we are hoping with all hope to buy some lakefront property in the next four years and sell this place. As I said above, I love to fish and I'd be happy spending the rest of my days catching my dinner hehe
@emorrill I'm such a dunder head - is Emma your SS?? I'm going to feel like so obtuse if you say yes lol! I'm also going to smile from ear to ear that she's married to Sam! /swoon!!! And I STILL love her wedding photos.
Do you think any of you with SSs would be interested in playing a family with all of our SSs and sharing those stories? I think that'd be so fun
@bekkasan Have one of those saves with all of our simselfs
Where did you find the CC for medieval clothes for kids? I have a hard time finding some.
And the maid's outfits?
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
@AbellaKellaher Thank you, it is very entertaining. No significant other, only accidents
@GraceyManor Kids clothes; Store, TSR (has a few good dresses mainly that can be used with different fabrics to look very old fashiony) and MTS mainly, maid´s outfits MTS.
@PalmArrow Regarding your post on p3544, I use TSR Workshop to change textures. I also tried that tutorial and I couldn't do what I wanted.
Should you need help with TSR Workshop, you can count on me. Here's the link of the program: https://www.thesimsresource.com/workshop/
I believe you have the gimp or photoshop plug-in to make the DDS files.
@bekkasan Wow, Dwight is a Detective! There are some really crazy and fun cases. I don't think I played the lost wallet, though. I should have Sam be a Detective.
@imdragonit Your Odd household on p3545 reminded me of Ghostbusters. I can't remember if it's the first or second movie, where there's a parallel dimension in the woman's fridge.
@Miekzumi That diamond ring is awesome! I'm happy for sim-Mikezumi. XD Best wishes for the couple!
I'm in love with her adventures in the Day Care service.
**It's funny you mentioned lags in Roaring Heights with Grampa's Grove, because I played them together too!
**After a lot of struggles, I started to enjoy more and more Aurora Skies. I think I was grumpy because I felt the need to build around -and I wasn't in the mood.
**I've been sharing lots of screenshots with my boyfriend lately. I don't know if he really likes when I tell sim-stories, but his reactions are priceless. I teased him that his simself was sending a message. Later we realized that his simself wants to be an astronaut and that's why he needed to be in good shape. Also, he was surprised with the size Keany's frog.
**I love your sims in pajamas, I want to get the female one next time I add simpoints.
@Steamvarius I love your new profile picture! That house of your sims' is a blast!
@Brandontaylor I think I started to mix up your sims. Who is Ava Sinclair? Is Brittany your main challenge sim?
I hope you can work out those problems with your game. That's why I like using the CDs. Luckily I started collecting them in time.
@GraceyManor OMG Poor Josh!!! The post on page 3548 was hard. That Tyler guy is such a jerk!
I wonder what he's up to...
@emorrill You can see a baby's gender using Master Controller. It's in the status part. Check the relationship one, it'll tell who the father is too. BTW, your simself didn't want to have any children so far.
@coco Kyla is fun; I had Clover befriend her. Actually she's friendly. So far, she's the town journalist.
@Rubyskywalker Here are some suggestions:
*Clumsy - Fergus or Fergie, since Fergie recorded this awesome video clipe named Clumsy "Clumsy coz' I'm falling in love... in loove"
*Insane - Randle (Jack Nicholson's character in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") or Alice (she lives in Wonderland)
*Loner - Wolf, or Wolfgang. A Lonely Wolf.
*Slob - Swaine, if you want to go literal. Or any pig from Animal Farm: Napoleon, Snowball, Squealer.
*Snob - Miranda (Devil's wear Prada)
@TinySpaceFox I'm glad your exams are over! I wish I were on vacation. :-(
*What a cute drawing!
@Silverofdreams30 Good luck with Steam! I hope you sorted things out.
@ZhakiraP OMG Princess Cordelia looks like Cersei from GoT!!! :-O
Your medieval game looks fantastic!
--- x ---- x ---
Happy Simming, everyone!
"Kristy, why are you ringing the bell.Its your house." "Its not my house at the moment." Josh rolled his eyes.Kristy was being silly.
"I thought you were gonna listen?" He asked her."I am.Let's go."
They went down to the local starbucks."Kristy, I swear on my own life, I'm not using that site.Believe me, please? Why would I risk losing you and my family?" "Explain the last logged in.Someone was logged in.Can't tell me someone is just going around using your account." "Why is that hard to believe?" "Because its just an excuse you're using..." "Kristy..." She just looked away.
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you care
You'll know for certain the man I really am
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
The search is over
Love was right before my eyes

Then I notice a sim freaking out and click onto them and see a meteor is incoming so I start trying to get sims in the house (eventually cheating and just teleporting them inside), and the meteor hits and blows up my beautiful garden. Most of the plants are destroyed and now there is a giant crater.
Then, while this is going on there is a second explosion and the sims all have an action saying "React to detonation" What the heck? Did one of my sims decide to blow something up in the garden right after a meteor hit? What's wrong with you?
So, now all the windows burned off that wall on the first floor, and the door also burned up. This has been a really hectic week for this family and not how I wanted to spend the son's last week in this house before he moves out with his wife and children!
Thanks! The original house, Beaux Chateau had this annoying gradient when I flattened the lot...So I had to redo the patio, the pool, the garage and a few other things to get the gradient mostly level. The view is awesome, too. Since Rachel is the main sim in my current family, I thought I'd use her as an avatar for a change.
@Linamints, 3552.
Yikes. That's really unfortunate. Meteors and fires are no fun.
@GraceyManor Ohhh boy this isn't good.
I completely understand Kristy being upset with Josh for having a dating profile and checking it (which we know he isn't...) but she should allow him the chance to explain himself.
And she left for a hotel without bringing the babies with her? Sorry, I guess with my motherly instincts if I was that mad at hubby and chose to stay in a hotel I'd be taking my daughter with me.
----
Cute seeing Josh play with the kids at the beach. I guess it was a good time for them to bond with daddy huh?
---- ^Yeeeeah I could never have that mod/setting in my game. I like to be in control of relationships!
Case and point: Before I completely shut off EA Story Progression I switch households from my main one, they were a very happily married couple and I LOVED them , and after playing the other household for a while I go back to my main household and my lovely couple had gotten divorced. Behind my back. That was NOT in the plans! So yeah, never again!
----
Aww, perfect song for Kristy to hear Josh sing.
Oh yay they finally talked the whole issue out with each other.
@Silverofdreams30 Hee hee I'm getting to know you better.
----
Love the style of Matthew's new home!
Bath shots!
---- ^LOL! You know...I figured.
@Mikezumi Good to know. It's ok if you don't find which nose bump slider you have. This one works pretty well. Oh hey you have the same one! Sweet! I think I need to give it a little more definition on Logan.
----
Dayvid: Wow that's an interesting way to spell it.
Thanks for all the awesome comments on LJS and glad you were able to catch up. I need to start taking photos for the next part!
----
Matthew Mango doesn't really look good as a female does he? I'm sure with your final edit of him he does. I'm with you, Harley is the hottest out of them all.
----
Love the colors of Zumi's new work outfit. I've always thought Blue and Yellow go well together, I dunno why. ^Right!?
Shannon's gonna be a Black Belt before too long.
@coco LOL! This Gif had me about falling out of my chair!
Happy Belated Birthday. Again, sorry I missed that.
"Jig" huh? Cool. ^Nah it's ok because I agree with you. He does look pretty darn sexy in my game as is. Thanks though. I may add just a little more definition to the nose bump. ^OMGosh right!? Let me see if I can find a pic of the book cover for the QL book where he leaps into a knight.......
@PalmArrow ^Thanks lady.
----
Tamsin's face when you cancelled her workaholic-ness!
Congrats on them having a boy! I really want Sam and Emma's first to be a boy!
Beautiful pics of the town while it's raining.
Yeah I guess I could have my sim seek out another doctor sim, but sometimes they're hard to find. I'll have to give that mod a try and see how well it works.
More to come here in a bit. I gotta read @AbellaKellaher 's story right now.
Now that I'm not busy, I'm going to try and figure out what is causing my expansions not to work. Haven't found much information on how to fix the issue but if all else fails, I'll just play the base game only with a new story. It'd be better than nothing. Anyway, I know I fell behind on feedback, I'm going to work on that tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day/night and happy Simming!
@AbellaKellaher Sorry you have to suffer through Migranes like that. And yeah opioids are things you have to be real cautious with. (I laughed when you said "especially with my geneology" ) ^Oh honey I can relate to this! Do you know how many times I played out Sam and Emma finally hooking it up (and making out! ) in my head before I could finally WRITE about it!? It did fill me with tons of happy. ^I can relate to that too.
Thanks for the tag. Hope you see mine here.
Comments to your story in a Spoiler just in case.
They're gonna have tea!
Well of course he wants to visit her again!
6 Languages? Dang, she's as smart as Sam! Even a master chess player!
OMGosh this here was so beautifully written! Aww, I can understand why he was nervous to kiss her, but man I wish they did! (You know me, ever the hopeless romantic. )
Magdy is a je'rk!
Yeah MorcuCorp always seemed shady to me, but then again I didn't finish all the "quests" so I dunno for sure...
Samir is a good guy.
Intriguing...girl you tell an awesome story! I look forward to more!
I had to! I couldn't help myself for obvious reasons.
Next update! Yay! I promise I'll read it later and give out my thoughts. I'm pressed for time at the moment.
@King_of_simcity7 That date better turn out well!
@Mikezumi Aww, their marriage is offical now.
Do you happen to remember where you found that ring? ^Nice one.
Young Keanu Reeves eh?
A toy Yeti!?
@bekkasan
Yes! Do throw some more southernisms at me.
Thanks for letting me know how to check the gender of the baby through MC! You rock!
@coco Bekkasan got me covered on how to check the gender of the baby though MC. At least you knew how to do it and here I am over here never having any idea!
@thuggishsplicer I think that first shirt you put on Emma is cute! I love purple!
^Woo! Lookin' good Emma! My goal I'm working on right now is to eventually be that skinny.
Nice shot of Sam's butt!
----
Odd that my SS doesn't want any kids? That's only been my desire (and moreso when I got married) since like...childhood!
@TinySpaceFox Your Gif of tired Martin there is awesome!
Nice to see you pop in! I can only imagine how tired you feel... Rest up and we'll be here.
Daaaang! Even more awesome is that SKETCH of yours! I can't draw anything worth a darn!
@Silverofdreams30 Of course Jake turns out to be a hottie.
Ty!!
I remember their wedding day in France.
---- ^Lol!
I'm feeling that pain right now actually...
@GraceyManor ^This is news to me too!
----
Kristy my dear, why WOULD he risk you and the kids like that?? Hear the loving words the man is singing to you...
@ZhakiraP Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it. I guess I'll do away with the school rug. I might keep the City Hall and Police ones just to keep things interesting.
----
OMGosh Praaven is SO gorgeous!!! I can't wait until I can see it in LIVE mode after all this world editing! I swear I will keep a copy of all my edits in a safe place!
Goodness if I can remember where those banners for the horses to wear were... ?
Awesome update!

I bought a treehouse for Keanu and Mikezumi and Shannon tested it for safety
Mikezumi was trying to read but Shannon wasn't done with her
Who says TS3 sims are emotionless? If a man looked at me this intently I would melt!
Keanu played in the treehouse when he got home
Keanu discovered the easel I had bought earlier in the save when Mikezumi wanted to spend some money. It was in the perfect spot for an artistic boy who loves the outdoors
I could hear Shannon and Mikezumi getting up to no good and found that Mikezumi was the one to instigate it this time
Although Shannon and Mikezumi don't have balls, Keanu does
Mikezumi prepared Keanu's favourite while they played
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Keanu got started on the block table skill
Shannon admired his wedding ring while enjoying a nightcap

@Brandontaylor I remember Brittany's shirt!
The family must be the most regular family in town with all the fruit they eat
Good luck with your garden, Lauren
I am sure Christopher is enjoying fishing in his retirement He does look a tad over-dressed for fishing, though
Yep, they get clean and have fun at the same time!
Congrats to Brittany on her promotion to level 5
Thank you I don't have a lot of male clothes that I really like so I try to do the best with what I have.
Life fruit and working out! Lauren will be super fit!
Uh oh! Bad life fruit
It's good that Lauren can plant her own life fruit!
Congrats to Mack on his promotion
Lauren's book sounds like my cup of tea!
Your plans for your new save sounds like fun!
@thuggishsplicer Thanks I think Harley might be the only one of the boys I will keep
@jonny522 Congrats to Ryan on catching his first fish
Lindsey's mother must be getting quite old but I am glad she is well
Cute seeing the bedtime story My sim kids are never tired enough to have stories read to them
Lovely family life update
@ZhakiraP Arthur is very good looking!
Staying up to garden sounds a very rebellious activity for a parent-free son!
It's nice that he visited his mother
Uh oh! Betty looks like she's about to drop!
Congrats on the birth of Bron
Oh! Justine too!
That birth certainly went unnoticed!
What drama! I wonder if Arthur was tempted to let Betty die?
The royal family definitely look the part!
Congrats on the birth of Cordelia
Ah yes! I definitely recognize Agnes!
Lots of babies being born in your game
Sir Kermit! LOL
@bekkasan Awwww It's good that Dwight found a quick job that didn't keep him from his family for long
Beautiful shot of Lorelei swimming in the morning sun
Dwight's wheels are cool!
Good job on Suzuki's case, Dwight!
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments It was a happy accident that Mikezumi and Shannon had matching pajamas
I am quite happy with how Harley turned out

Tatara is going to miss work due to being tired, hungry, yada yada again (because apparently high will does not indicate taking care of yourself).
Shina is trying to up her writing skill (I'm having trouble with that since it seems she might be stuck. I think she got glitched since when I removed University and Late Night from my computer due to game crashing problems and moved her and the household to Supernatural's Midnight Hollow I forgot she was writing a sports book. It now has her stuck at level 3 with full bar).
Himiko and Mikoto are sleeping off their wedding party/night.
Then, my sim went to the casino, hit a 10,000 simoleon jackpot and leveled up in gambling.
And then literally right after hitting that machine, she won the 1 million simoleons lotto from store lottery tickets.
Here's her victory dance:
My sim family needed the money so badly and it helps, since my sim is with child
