The only pic I took because my game took an hour- almost an hour and a half- to save, then it crashed shortly after it finished saving. Mason is finally a licensed driver and Mom just found out she was pregnant again!

Sorry folks, no gameplay update today and not much by way of comments. Been sick all day, but rest assured, I did read through and give a bunch of "Awesomes".
Sorry for not commenting and no updates here. I read all your comments and your posts though, and of course I already left my likes and awesomes. I have some ear infection at the moment, which doesn't want to go away and drains my energy and my mood. I hope everyone else with health problems at the moment will recover quickly. I certainly hope that I do . And rest assured I enjoy your posts very much.
@emorrill I think they were from Ladesire. Can't find them at the moment. Someday I will organize all my cc....haha, wishful thinking!
@Silverofdreams30 Good luck with the interview!
Congrats on Gavin and Theresa moving in together.
@GraceyManor I love it when they look at their toes!
Ewww, plumbot flirting!
That is sweet he is going to surprise her with something!
Of course, she is getting suspicious with his absences. I can't blame her! I love surprises though, but not suspicious activity and disappearances.
I'm not a real superstitions person, but I've had several mishaps on previous Friday 13th so I try to be ultra careful and since I'm not working today I'm hunkering down at home! Since it is a full moon, I will let my inner werewolf out!
Thanks for the comments!
That was a very awesome surprise!
@PalmArrow Thank you!
Poirot does look very serious.
Awww, someone is sweet on Miss Lemon. He looks kinda cute in that tiny picture!
@DillynJames That was a nice crowd at the protest.
@AbellaKellaher I don't wear jewelry much so I love slathering my sims with it.
@HillyBeth Gosh, your game shouldn't be taking that long to save. I'd sure talk to the folks in the tech section and get some help.
Thanks! I'm far from feeling great today, but compared to yesterday it is a big improvement.
Gotta spend much of the day sorting and packing, but I'll probably be playing some Sims3 at some point today.
Jennifer woke up as Marshall arrives home from his night out hunting with Adam. She welcomes him home with hugs and kisses and sends him to bed alone. They have a busy day ahead of them and she wanted him to get a nap before they leave town. She takes a shower, dresses and heads downstairs to start breakfast. The house is quiet and she is the only one up. She feels a little queasy and fixes a cup of tea her Mom always said would settle an upset stomach. She sips the tea while she fixes breakfast. She decides to try her hand at French toast and found a fresh apple to use in the mix. Everyone eventually arrives downstairs and enjoys the French toast to start off the morning.
They pack up all their personal belongings and catch a late afternoon flight to Shang Simla arriving early the next morning. Flora looks at the map on the base camp boards to find the tomb her soulmate had been exploring. She points to the Halls of the Lost Army. "That's it! He said it was in the main part of The Forbidden City."
Victor spent quite a bit of time in China over the years and built a splendid home in the outskirts of Shang Simla a few centuries ago. Autumn used it as a base when she explored in China. Alice suggested they stay there as it would allow more privacy. Arriving at the house, Alice assigns bedrooms and they toss their suitcases in them and regroup in the living room to discuss plans. Alice thinks to herself that her Mom must not have ever stayed here or this place would surely be a lot prettier and more colorful.
Adam explains to Flora that he would prefer she not accompany them to the tomb. He wants to be sure there are no further hidden dangers in the tomb before allowing any of the women in the tomb. He met with some resistance from the ladies, but reminded Alice that it was not just her life at stake. Tombs can be very dangerous. Flora's soulmate was an experienced adventurer and he still became a casualty of the tomb. Flora agrees to wait and convinces Alice, Jennifer and Wisteria to explore the town and collect some supplies they might need.
They go to town and walk around the beautiful streets looking at the sights and meeting a few of the locals. Soon it is time for the guys to go. Alice reminds Adam to be careful. She looks at Dedric and whispers "Keep him safe." Dedric smiles and nods. "We will be ok. Please don't worry. It's not good for the baby."
The building has been closed since the last explorer disappeared in it. Adam talks to a local official to get permission to go inside. Marshall chats with the officials wife asking her about local legends in the hopes he could get an idea for a book based in this region. The official tells Adam there was a bad rock slide and several areas have collapsed. He had some workers go in and start shoring up the walls, but that work has not been completed yet. They were not able to enter the collapsed area to even retrieve the body of the explorer.
@coco , EXCELLENT!!! It looks awesome, ours is less impressive as it is still stuck in it's box, as is our Big Ben. I don't have the patience to build either. Husband bought me the Lego Mustang when it first came out (Ford Mustang is my favorite car, I WILL own one one of these days!), that one will stay in it's box until we move into our retirement house which will have a room just for all the dang Legos!!
@bekkasan , Those rings are really cool, they actually look sparkly!
@emorrill , I've decided to TRY and get an outline worked up of In the end there is Love (Rowan's story) because I will never finish in it's Sims state. I want to write out the whole story, right after I finish Lindy and JK. I am using C and J (Keeping their first names) and using the Sims of the kids and IFs as models for their characters (I love having visuals of characters). You can read it if you like when I get going on it.
Everyone else, been reading your stories and updates, as I've had a bit of free time, some very creative stuff going on! I still have no desire to play Sims but will keep an eye out for what you all are up to.
Alrighty, has anyone had this issue where your sim goes to their career in everyday outfits? This has been an issue for me since ambitions came out.Once they reach a certain level they start wearing regular clothing...I'm sorry Darren but I don't think shorts will work.
@DillynJames You're very welcome. Glad you found my post with the link when you went back.
LOVE your builds! I'm thinking of adding more of them to my game.
Derek has always struck me as the kind of Frat guy who is a player...so surprise to me there that he asked Katy to just be friends.
Jose Peterson is cuter anyway, imo.
Yes congrats to Katy! I love her hairstyle!
Those caravans in Strangerville is cool but I did not enjoy the pack
itself too much to do.
^I snort chuckled at that, I don't know why?
Thanks for letting me know you got my notifications.
@GraceyManor You're welcome. Don't stop believing in how great of a writer you can become!
I was thinking of adding "Have You Forgotten?" to the song list, but I felt two songs was enough. But yes that is a very good song.
I haven't had that issue before that I can recall. Sorry...
@PalmArrow Poirot (love his unique name...I had to look up how to properly pronounce it. ) and Sharpo are such fine looking men. EA captured the look of the 20s quite well!
Unicorn!
@king_of_simcity7 Those poses are super cute! Those two really make an adorable couple!
@bekkasan Yay for a new chapter!
I was thinking, "Why does Marshall's hair look different when kissing Jennifer there?" But then I saw all the arm hair and was like, "Ohhh he's still in his werewolf form."
I thought she was going to tell him she's pregnant in that moment, but I read on to see she still doesn't know yet. Or does she? I see her thinking about being pregnant in that pic when they arrive in Shang Simla. Oh dang that's not her that's Alice thinking that! *facepalm!*🤦♀️
Hey the Halls of the Lost Army! That sounds familiar!
Is that a house EA built over in SS? They have a couple of nice, big vacant houses there and I always wonder how I could move a sim into one? I think they have to buy the property while on vacation there and that's where they stay when they return? I still gotta figure out NRaas Porter stuff.
Alice thinks to herself that her Mom must not have ever stayed here or this place would surely be a lot prettier and more colorful.
^ Lol!
It's so cute how protective Adam is of Alice and the baby. But he's got a point that if an experienced explorer could die in a tomb, everyone needs to be on high alert and careful in those places.
Love how cute Marshall looks bidding Jennifer goodbye. And of course it's cute seeing the other guys kiss their ladies farewell. I like that picture kiss Dedric and Wisteria did.
That lady got the hearts for Marshall. I don't blame her.
They were not able to enter the collapsed area to even retrieve the body of the explorer.
^Bummer. I wonder what they're going to do?
Anyone have magic power to break those boulders apart?
You can read it if you like when I get going on it.
^I would love to!
@AbellaKellaher I swear I will get to reading your newest chapters as soon as I can! I wanna make sure I have tons of time to devote to it. Life has gotten busy and today isn't slowing down. We don't do anything on Sunday but go to church so I'll read it then!
@Turjan Ugh, ear infections su'ck! Hope you feel better soon.
Darren even added a little garden, since Chelsea loved gardening and cooking.
Chelsea: Ted, does Darren ever bathe you? You smell horrid.
Ted: -barks-
Darren got a call for a herd of angry gnomes in the park.Of course it was almost the end of his shift, as always.
Chelsea: Standing there, asking when dinner is every 10 seconds isn't going to make me cook any faster.
Schwarze: But I'm hungry.
Chelsea: Go away Schwarze, go read a paper or something.
I bought TS3 Seasons today(I had all the expansion/stuff packs except Seasons, Pets and Katy Perry). I'm scared(in a good way) and excited at the same time
I know that Seasons EP is a huge game changer so that's why I'm nervous..
I don't have much time to play today but tomorrow all I have is time
I bet Aurora Skies(the world that I'm currently playing) looks amazing in winter
And I bought some nice things from The Store as well...
My family will be so spoiled now..
Permission was granted to enter the tomb. Adam is very persuasive when he needs to be, and a large donation to a Shang Simla charity for orphaned dragons sealed the deal. They easily make their way through the upper areas of the underground tomb since the explorer had already opened these areas of the tomb. They reached the area where the collapse occurred and a huge pile of rocks is baring their way. Adam, Marshall and Dedric move the statues out of the way and then tackle the rocks that are blocking something in the corner of the room.
Adam works tirelessly, attacking the rocks repeatedly with the pickaxe and manages to bring the pile down a little bit. Marshall takes over and helps to bring the pile of rocks down. Dedric takes a turn and chips away at the rock pile until it is small enough that the last few rocks fall into the hole that was covered by the huge pile of rocks. A ladder that is remarkably intact leads down into another level of the tomb.
Meanwhile, the ladies finish their shopping in town and carry the supplies back to the house. They venture out to a place on the tourist map called The Scholars Garden enjoying the beauty of the gardens and fishing to catch a few of the exotic fish that are swimming in the waters.
This new area is much older than the rooms above. The walls are dirt and the ground is covered with small rocks and dirt. They read a plaque hung on the dirt wall warning intruders from entering this area of the tomb. They turn and walk over to a backpack and tent that is still wrapped in its canvas carry bag. Dedric searches the backpack and finds it belongs to the man they seek. Bryce Torra. Across the room caught under a rock slide is a skeleton. An urn with the remains of Bryce Torra mark the spot of his death. Adam looks at the urn. "I hope Alice can bring him back. It seems unfair that he and Flora did not get to spend their lives together." Marshall and Dwight nod in solemn agreement.

Not much for me to comment on today,
it was very quiet over the night.

Yes it's possible with no mods, the sims
needs to have a high friendship for the other sim to ask.
