@AlwaysAsking You can try what I did and create a page (or use the homepage) and link to the posts on that page. That way you can put it in the order you want. You'll have to remember to link them on that page every time you make a new post but it's super quick and easy.

I desperately tried to do this, because it seemed like the perfect answer! But I can't even figure out how to do that!! Lmao
@AlwaysAsking Hahah I just realised how bad my grammar was! I made it sound like they adopted 2 children alongside the toddler and newborn but it's just the toddler and newborn they adopted. And thanks!
Also Alvaro is the guy in the middle.
lol, I really should have figured that out! Your grammar wasn't actually bad, I just get confused easily And ok, he's really handsome!!!
@ryttu3k Thanks! I had read of that vendor's existence but I had never run into it in the game. My sims are living in left-hand neighborhood on Sulani so I just probably haven't spent enough time in that area. Don't worry, Diego will have an active afterlife once I get around to creating my haunted household.
@LehmanLegacy Lucas has a habit of looking right at the camera like he sees me sometimes. Which is disconcerting, but not as weird as Ivy waving at me in this shot from today.
@Becka28 Usually the notifications I don't get are the ones that leave out an e, or have a lowercase d. But your previous comment was spelled perfectly and I don't know why I didn't get the notification. But yes, in this thread it's not so bad because I check it regularly.
I think I once read in a thread about a mod to stop the camera jumping in general (like off the buildings in San Myshuno which used to drive me crazy). Maybe that would help you? Assuming you use mods and can find that one from such a vague reference.
@AlwaysAsking Thorne seems to have caught himself in his own trap. Love how he slipped and said it first.
Oh, and the hotel lot that I used for the retirement home is the Kailua-Kona Hotel. There was a restaurant in what is now the common area, but the decor and the pool area that you see in the picture are the original. All I did was remove most of the tables, add more activities in their place, and replace the restaurant kitchen appliances with domestic ones.
@Beardedgeek Nice to have you back with a new sim!
@Simmelina1 Your farewell post to Mila was very sweet. She's one of my favorite premades.
Okay, so Lucas and Holly's wedding pictures are inside the spoiler.
It was an outdoor setting so of course it rained. They got married in a wedding barn in Brindleton Bay. Holly has embraced the country girl aesthetic, despite growing up in San Myshuno.
I think she's pretty proud of finally getting him hooked!
There was an indoor reception area but half the guests preferred to sit outside with umbrellas.
So, for those who may not have been following long enough to have seen all of the extended family before... the bottom picture from left to right is Erick Andreas (Athena and Khaled's son), Charlotte Munch-Andreas (Wolfgang and Cordelia's daughter), Athena (still in her own wedding dress, oops), Holly, Derrick Andreas (Erick's twin), and Cordelia Munch-Andreas (Athena and Arthur's daughter). Up above you also have Cordelia's twin sister Amelia in the pink, Alexander Goth (husband of Holly's twin Ivy) beside Derrick on the front bench, and Geeta Rasoya (Athena's current wife) on the back bench.
Lucas even opted to take the cake slice outside. They had honey cake, to celebrate the fact that Holly's bees are making honey.
Apparently if there's a dance floor sims will dance even with no music. Or do situps, if they're Ivy.
Other family shots.
Khaled and Mila (stepfather and mother of the groom) flirt while Lucas shows Alexander some pics. Klaatu (Wolfgang's alien son) in the background.
Wolfgang in the red, everyone else already named above.
Father and son catch up.
The family is a little weird at this point, because Lucas's brother is married to Holly's half sister (Wolfgang and Cordelia), and two of Holly's half-brothers are Lucas's stepbrothers (because Khaled married Mila after he broke up with Athena).
Finnian and Gillian did not attend because I had the choice between Lucas inviting all of his family and all of Holly's siblings but those two, or Holly inviting all of her family but not most of his. Plus Lucas could invite the mutual niece and nephews because he goes to visit Wolfgang's family practically every day when I'm playing their household.
Ivy is at Lucas and Holly's house every day also. It's a bit like a sitcom, really.
Oh, did you know that a sim could fall asleep from watching a boring movie? Holly did just that while her sisters were visiting.
Yes her winter wear is a little over the top. She is Father Winter's daughter after all.
And not long after the wedding, Holly woke Lucas up for a big announcement!
And then she also told the Flower Bunny. I guess so he can pass the word to Father Winter.
It will be a while before I can get back to doing long comment posts. And I have to go back and catch up with the long-running stories where I missed posts over the holidays. But I'm still reading most posts. Happy simming to you all!
Roddy chatted with Grandpa Vinny, whilst Bjorn Bjergsen played in the rubbish:
Mate, it's not my fault you got dirty, YOU DID THAT.
After saying goodbye to Vinny, Roddy went over to the bin:
And put the rubbish in the bin:
'Don't litter, doofus' Roddy said to Bjorn, irritated:
When Roddy was serious, he was serious. Bjorn nodded in understanding. Roddy's next stop was the library:
And he found that someone hadn't put a book away.
'Sophia would have a fit if she saw a messy library' Roddy thought, picking up the book and placing it back on the shelf:
Roddy looked out the window and groaned. 'Not again' he thought. A sim had picked a fight with a vendor:
'I'll handle this, my child' boomed the voice of the Llama God. He snapped his fingers and the Windenburg brawls were stopped. Roddy returned and put another book away:
'This is getting silly' Roddy thought. He then left the library and went to his next destination.
Over to the Laceys
Roddy arrived, and greeted Jessica Lacey, his sweetheart, with a big hug and a kiss on the cheek:
'It's been a while, Jessica! Sorry I hadn't been able to visit' Roddy said:
'It's fine, Roddy! You work hard to try and make everyone smile! That, and the trips to Selvadorada!' Jessica said, looking fondly at Roddy:
The pair then caught up with each other:
Later on, Roddy took a photo of Jessica Lacey:
Penny Lacey came over:
And gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
And then Penny gave Roddy a big hug:
Roddy smiled. He then waved goodbye and went home.
University
Roddy and Shine went over to the Britechester University campus:
Shine had lit the fire. She and Roddy enjoyed the warmth:
Shine had a sudden urge to do some archaeology:
Then it was off to class for Shine!
Whilst Shine was at her class, Roddy found a mineral:
A few moments later, Shine finished her class and she and Roddy went home.
Gardening and homework
Benjamin tended to his greenhouse:
And Shine got on with her homework:
Visiting Serena Bhamra
Roddy visited Serena Bhamra. 'Roddy! How are you?' Serena asked:
'I'm doing fine, Serena. Mummy is working very hard on her course' Roddy replied. 'That's good to hear' Serena said, smiling. She then gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
Roddy then chatted with Serena Bhamra for a while:
Then he said goodbye and went back home.

I just realized that I'm not sure if these are the last of the elders that were specifically involved in all of Athena's children's lives. Well, I know Akiri is still left, but he's immortal now, right? Will he be going to the retirement village? Anyway, are there more coming? And what will you do if they are the last? Start putting her kids in there? They are aging. I'm just wondering what the plan for the village is. 😊
All of the elder's pictures are adorable 🥰 They look so happy! It was a great idea to switch their aspirations.
And you've inspired me to fix up that beach even more! I didn't think of play equipment for the toddlers, and I think I only have swings for the kids!
I hope Rinaldo gets to meet a dolphin sooner or later.
Lol at Aquazipping over a reef at night 😅
I can't believe you got the ghosts in Sulani that won't show up back home 😂 but I'm so sad that Diego is dead in your game 😢
This is Sabastion Santos. The guy on their tv looked a lot like him, but when I Google for information about whether he's on the TV or not I get no results, so maybe it's not him.
Anyway ..... 😂😅🤣 at Lucas's face!! Yes! He was definitely ready to propose!! What a guy 🥰 I'm glad your plan worked for him. They will be so happy together 😊 I can't remember who her other parent is though?
Ahha! Another update! She's Father Winter's child! Oh yeah! Lol, Holly and Ivy, why didn't I remember that 😅
Speaking of which, Omg at her waving at you!!!! RedDestiny92 and I were just discussing how fun it would be to have everyone post all of the pictures that break the 4th wall together somewhere. I think your picture would win!!! 😂😅
Ahhhh, thanks for telling me about the hotel upgrades so you could have your snowbird home! Such a great idea!
I loved the wedding! It looks like it went so well!! Despite the rain. All of the guests are dressed so nicely! A lot are sitting down for the ceremony - *faints*
Holly does look beyond proud of her accomplishment! I don't blame her, he's an awesome guy!
It was great to see so many family members 😊
And hey, who needs music to dance anyway? 😅
Thorne slipped up, yep. But I think Don needed that anyway, after Thorne's long absence. 😉
I'm not crazy about the materialistic trait myself. I often change it on Sims I play regularly.
I don't use any mods in my game, I'm too afraid of corrupting my save, and/or crashing my computer. 😅
But the mod does sound fun! As I've said, if there was a foolproof one that made townies dress and look appropriate, and stopped toddlers and kids from dumping paint everywhere, I just might go for it anyway, despite my fears 😂
I think it will be great if you put up links in your posts, and I think you should probably put them at the beginning, so people can look back to remind themselves about what's going on if they are already following the story. Or read it from the start if they are new. 😊
I totally get you about written comments. They are very nice to get, and I love that there are several people who try to comment on everyone's updates here.
I can tell you a secret too. With the new notification system I sometimes don't go through the thread, but I will answer mentions in my notifications. (I only do that when I'm in a really big hurry though, because notifications are so spotty now) Anyway, if the comments to me are written on the same post with the person's update I can easily respond to their story as well, because it's right there.
So the more comments and mentions that you make about other people's stories, the more people will see your update!
There are posters who almost never respond with comments on your story, despite you commenting on theirs. I believe that is mainly because some of them are super super busy. And I can understand that.
But I still think it's a good way to get conversations going.
I didn't really comment enough about your last update, I got off on a tangent about something, lol. I'll have to go back and look for it again. 😊
I have always wanted to be a published author as well. I'm definitely not posting my best work here on the forum. 😅 It's just for fun here, especially because so many people want pictures to tell the stories. It's much faster to get through the thread with the whole "a picture is worth a thousand words" idea in mind. I like those stories myself. 😊
But I loved seeing her boys with her! And hearing about each grandchild. It looks like the ones at the beach are toddlers. But I see kids in the picture with Grim, so maybe I'm seeing the beach picture wrong.
@ryttu3k , And she will continue to be worn out, those lazy 🐸🐸🐸🐸 roommmates of hers! @O-meezy , I am not I play them at ISBI (challenge where you control only one sim,name comes from "Im Surrounded By Idiots" ) style, means I only control Tessa, game AI (or lack of it in some cases) will take care of the rest @Becka28 , Thank you Heh, before I got the idea of the challenge, I sent Tessa to play chess a lot, and 90% of the time the person who showed up to her chess partner was Björn (10% Wolfgang), the never had any romantic, but every time after they played Tessa had the first kiss whim! @Alwaysasking , About the Björn whim, what I mentioned to Becka above Oh plus I had to be careful, as I do have that autonomuous first kiss mod Yes, Wolfgang cannot decide, but to be honest, Tessa cannot either. Their regular bar is allmost half way dark red, but they do have 1/4 pink bar!
W is not good friends with Morgan either, yes they belong to that club, but I never visited the lot the club is gathering. As with my old and hubby's old computer, those multistory lots at Windenburg lagged my game a lot. W is actually best buddies with Ted, he was in that one gym clubs of Ted's from while back at the start of the save, when he still was a teen. Why he also has the best bodyskill of them all, and as Malcolm already got the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 criminal career, W is going to do that beach life guard sulani job
And yep, it was Sofia in the shower
Your update, part where Don talked with Penny, reminded me of something! At Ted/Tessa save, when I started, at the first mccc marriage round it married Don with Penny.. only one couple from first patch who are not divorced, ever cheated, still happily married with many kids I shall post few pics of them soon.
No update as I have the house all by myself tonight, means.. PLAYING!! yay!
Just this, next day, poor girl did not even manage to get to bed! It will get better tho, she has one person to help her with cooking.
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
@AlwaysAsking Mostly I plan to continue with the parents of other young premades, as the children marry into whatever generation.
But aside from Akira, yes all the fathers and in-laws either live with their children or in the retirement village right now.
I have plans to marry Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis into the next generation, so I'll be adding her grandparents to the retirement village soon and later her parents. Siobhan might move in there rather than live with Morgan forever, but that depends on whether she meets someone else after Gerardo passes. Also if they can earn the points, they can each have up to three potions of youth just like the elders in my family households, making them live to just over 100 if they take all three, so some of them may be around a while.
And eventually, the Sigworth and Bjergsen parents will move in there when their children marry into one of my families. And the Landgraabs. And the Bheedas, who have a baby girl. And I'll probably do like I did with the Heckings for the Pancakes, and create a child who will marry in. Whether they move in with that child or go to the retirement village will be determined when the time comes.
And if it starts to look like the household might become empty before someone moves in, I can cheat and not play it for a rotation or two so they don't age until the next residents are ready to move in.
That sim does look like the one on the tv. Makes you wonder.
@AlwaysAsking Thank you. It is the same kids you see on the beach, they just aged up to children. This update tell the story from Cecilia's point of view. @Daephene Thank you.
Cecilia Pizzazz Munch
Events the last days changed Munch familytree forever. Hunter, Iselin & Janelle became children and I gave birth to baby Kenneth and baby Liana into our family.
Hunter.
Iselin.
Janelle.
A lot of people posted about color of the year 2020 on Instagram. The color i classic blue. So I decided to dress up in blue clothes.
A fire started in the kids room while Gunther & I were at work. So happy Mila was there to extinguish the fire.
Mila brought Iselin, Hunter & Janelle to beach to cheer them up.
We knew this day would come. But hoped it wouldn't come this soon. My mother in law Mila died while she took a nap. Everyone in the family are very sad because we lost a dear family member. It is heartbreaking to see my husband Gunther so sad. This brings back memories about when my parents Penny Pizzazz & Adam Vera Le Chien died.
Kenneth & Liana became toddlers today. So Gunther & I brought them to the beach, while the other kids were at school.
Kenneth.
Liana.
My brother Fredrik came to visit my family. We talked about future plans. If Gunther & I become parents to a girl in the future, her name is going to be Mila.
I wonder what life has in store for my siblings Elsa, Dara & Fredrik.

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
@LehmanLegacy Wow, getting a probation after forgetting about a final must be tragic. I guess that's why we have to make sure our Sims get to classes on time, especially during the finals period. So far, my Sim was late to class two times. One time because he overslept and another time was because he was doing something and I forgot to cancel it out.
@AlwaysAsking Yup, there are new careers that come with DU, which are the law, education, and engineer careers. The research and debate skill is useful for the law and education. According to the guides for DU, the requirements ask for the Sim to reach a certain level of that skill to be promoted in those careers.
Because I don't want to murder anyone's internet...
The WordPress guide is done. But have a link to it instead, because um, it's big. Lol Click me! I squeak!! Also if anyone nabbed the poly flag before I fixed it, I fixed it, redownload it xD
白雪夏夜我不停歇
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
@Becka28 I think they could revive him the same but I'm not sure the first time I did this it happened without a cheat when romantic garden was newer. @AlwaysAsking lol I love water but then I usually freeze a container of water and drink it while it defrosts with whatever else i have. Simeon is pretty cute then, ha yeah thats why he's special easy to hate or love.
He loves getting his way you see Diego is just like that. I love Nef I enjoy him more than I thought I should make more simply different sims. They make some pair that way its funny to imagine Don rejecting people I think I have had him do that....or no that was Bob who he got close to while being his personal trainer. Heh cant even remember.
It is sort of interesting but they are always so busy I was sure they rocked all their classes. We'll have to see of studying more makes a difference. They moved out of the dorm to be with one another and ar more alone than ever.
Heh hey no worries glad you liked it I believe Ill be playing more as they still have school to finish so they have to spammed. @Keidra I know i never bug you but I love your build it turned out amazing. I might also look at that tutorial it was nice of you to offer for anyone.
Okay awesomes out my net is having a fit.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day
My heir, Roslynn, whose been orphaned and lives in the Orphanage was once again woken up in the middle of the night to the monster under her bed. She tried to make friends with it for maybe the fourth night in a row, but it does not want to be her friend no matter how kindly she speaks with it.
She later invited over a friend to the Orphanage to play. However, he showed up in a bad mood. Despite pestering him, all I could make out was that he was probably being bullied at school? So, good-girl Roslynn tried to cheer him up by spending all day telling him jokes, making silly faces, and later pushing him on the swings out back without even taking a turn for herself.
But it didn't last for very long... He still went home sad.
The kids spent the rest of the weekend focusing on their unfinished schoolwork, with a little helpful supervision from Auntie.
So as a reward, I wanted Auntie to take them out, but I realized I didn't have many family-friendly community lots. So, I spent most of my playtime making a movie theater for them to enjoy
BEHOLD!
So, I finally had her take the kids out for the night for being so well behaved throughout the last week. I think they had fun, but it got late and they ended up staying out way past their bedtime. Everyone went straight to bed when they got home!
Alas... Roslynn was woken up again in the middle of the night...
But this time it wasn't the monster. It was her little sister, who'd wandered up the stairs and seems to be having trouble sleeping herself. Who knows maybe the monster is visiting her, too?
Roslynn spent the rest of the night into the wee hours of the morning cheering her little sister up.
Man, school is gonna be ROUGH this week...
What's a girl gotta do to get some sleep around here?
@LehmanLegacy he's in the Style Influencer career, but honestly, modelling would work well! Just so long as it has nothing to do with mirrors XD
@Nushnushganay the photos bit (both taking and selling them) is under the settings for... hmm, how to phrase this... the section of the settings which dictate whether certain NPCs show up! Just if you want to change that at all.
And yeah, all good, re: AO3. I just really like them as an organisation! Did you know they just won a Hugo? (I wonder if I can put 'contributed to Hugo Award-winning project' in my resume? XD)
@Keidra that looks fabulous! I love the flag corner, and I really dig the kitchen, that's such a good pack. The herbs on the wall are such a nice pop of colour! And I love that hanging swing chair! My only suggestion would be to put up more paintings and wall art, but that's my suggestion for everything XD
And honestly, Morgyn is just eminently shippable. I've seen Morgyn/Grace floating around, too.
Also, uh, I tried the new download for the flag and it went to a Hanzi Helper? XD;;
@Beardedgeek yeah, straight As!! And yeah, I feel that sadness is normal. It's not just five weeks for a Sim, it's the equivalent of probably several years, so it's a big moment!
@TheLastStar I saw that edit on Insta and it's still rad
@Daephene no problem, hope you're able to find them! And if all else fails, there tends to be a ton of plants around Mua Pel'am (the volcanic island). And a lovely wedding!
@AlwaysAsking not sure, honestly! It's probably Outgoing, because I think Goofball is what gave him the Jester trait. On the other hand, Lilith and Morgyn also have Outgoing, and neither of them have the Innocent trait, and Caleb does! (I think that was because of his aspirations, though - Good Vampire, previously Friend of the World). And this is a woobie!
@keenow man, poor li'l Roslynn! She seems to be having a rough time!
It's time for Blake to enter his final term at UBrite.
Blake complained to his roomie, Marlena, about the C he got in his Advanced Logical Principles
She then pointed Blake to the right direction by giving him ways to study better.
Later, he and Tommy kicked the soccer ball together.
So far so good.
Oh no! As he was kicking the ball around, the ball went up and hit his head.
Tommy:
Blake: Not funny dude...
Tommy: Sorry, I couldn't help myself!
Final Term Day 1
He woke up, got changed, and saw that Zack, who he met a while ago, came by for a visit.
Zack enthused Blake about dance parties and encouraged him to attend some.
Later, he went to class and after class, he did his homework at the library.
Then, he invited several of his friends to study at the UBrite Commons.
Siobhan: Wow! I'm gaining lots of knowledge on the ancient arts!
After a productive study session, he went to Foxbury to toilet paper their statue.
He also put the UBrite banners on their stadium.
Final Term Day 2
Before class, he studied for a bit.
After class, he grabbed some lunch and overheard Siobhan and Melanie talking about the Debate Guild.
Siobhan: Blake! The Debate Guild's Debate Practice event is starting soon! I heard they will be debating on which is better: rideshare services or public transportation.
Blake: That sounds cool!
The Debate Guild held its Debate Practice event and he stayed to watch the debate.
After the event over, he saw Florian and bro bumped him.
Blake: Great to see you as usual, dude!
Florian: Same here, bro!
They got another picture together
He went back to the dorms and worked on his homework
Taylor: These cookies are out of this world! Whoever made these is the best!
Blake: I had these cookies before and I agree! My compliments to the chef!
Few minutes later, Siobhan came in and joined Taylor and Blake's conversation.
Those three then talked about their plans after graduation. Blake intends to get a career as a Computer Engineer. By the way, I noticed that photographs can be placed on a table, turning it into a standing photo. I did that with Blake's recent picture with Florian.
Something unprecedented happened in my game, today. As part of the storyline I was developing, I had Gaston go on a "spirit journey" by calling a shaman and drinking a beverage that is part of folk medicine/religious experiences in some places, and he went on a trip and came back better for it...but I was checking his relationships, and was surprised to see a baby in there, and apparently he had a daughter by Mrs. Bjergsen. I can't even remember her name I deal with her so little, but she's the mom of Sophia and ...Elsa I think.
So that's so like him. But the weird thing was, his daughter Rose, that he had with Lilith, was nowhere to be seen! I then played the Vatore household so I could check Rose's family tree personally, and found that Gaston was wiped from her record! She had no father at all. She had Lilith as a mother, but as if she had been made in CAS with only Lilith as a mother. No dad.
Never saw anything like that before. Was wondering if the beverage he consumed that took him on a life-changing journey could actually delete his paternity like that, but if so, why only Rose, and not Lakshmi Bjergsen? Maybe Lakshmi was born after the journey?
It's weird. I know he was completely ambivalent about the way he became a father in the first place, but the story I had intended to continue, had him doing his best to be an involved father anyway. Now he's just some stranger. Odd.

Update on Pretty Little Liars Legacy Charlotte + Tane (Generation 7)
That's Mike as a toddler.
This is our current "heir cat" His name is Poptart. (male)
This is a female kitten we adopted named Penny.
Charlotte had her third baby named Samara. (Naming theme is Pretty Little Liars in case you didn't know) The character Samara was a minor character that I think dated Emily for a little bit.
This is our cat Penny as an adult cat.
Not the best looking cat but whatever we still love her.
Birthday time.
Charlotte went from young adult to adult.
The oldest son, Noel, aged into a child.
Noel was a character in the show that was kind of a bad guy... but don't worry Noel in the show got what's coming to him. (ya'll should watch the show if you haven't already. It's great!)
Then Samara became a toddler. I really like her so far. As of now she's probably my top pick for heir.
See all that gardening? Charlotte has the freelance botanist aspiration and she completed it!
Last update Dre asked Camila out on a date. He was incredibly nervous because he'd never really had much luck with women before but his sister told him to just be himself use his natural charm
It started out pretty well with the two playing around on the swings and getting to know each other a bit better
Afterwards Dre gave Camila the portrait of her that he had painted and she loved it!
Then he serenaded her with a love song he wrote specifically for this occasion
The song was so beautiful that a small crowd formed to hear him play
After finishing the song, expressed exactly how he felt about her and lucky for him, Camila felt the exact same way
So he took a chance, went in for the kiss and she loved it!
Dre asked Camila to be his girlfriend and she said yes

lol, I really should have figured that out! Your grammar wasn't actually bad, I just get confused easily And ok, he's really handsome!!!

@LehmanLegacy Lucas has a habit of looking right at the camera like he sees me sometimes. Which is disconcerting, but not as weird as Ivy waving at me in this shot from today.

@Beardedgeek Nice to have you back with a new sim!
@Simmelina1 Your farewell post to Mila was very sweet. She's one of my favorite premades.
Okay, so Lucas and Holly's wedding pictures are inside the spoiler.
I think she's pretty proud of finally getting him hooked!
There was an indoor reception area but half the guests preferred to sit outside with umbrellas.
So, for those who may not have been following long enough to have seen all of the extended family before... the bottom picture from left to right is Erick Andreas (Athena and Khaled's son), Charlotte Munch-Andreas (Wolfgang and Cordelia's daughter), Athena (still in her own wedding dress, oops), Holly, Derrick Andreas (Erick's twin), and Cordelia Munch-Andreas (Athena and Arthur's daughter). Up above you also have Cordelia's twin sister Amelia in the pink, Alexander Goth (husband of Holly's twin Ivy) beside Derrick on the front bench, and Geeta Rasoya (Athena's current wife) on the back bench.
Lucas even opted to take the cake slice outside. They had honey cake, to celebrate the fact that Holly's bees are making honey.
Apparently if there's a dance floor sims will dance even with no music. Or do situps, if they're Ivy.
Other family shots.
Khaled and Mila (stepfather and mother of the groom) flirt while Lucas shows Alexander some pics. Klaatu (Wolfgang's alien son) in the background.
Wolfgang in the red, everyone else already named above.
Father and son catch up.
The family is a little weird at this point, because Lucas's brother is married to Holly's half sister (Wolfgang and Cordelia), and two of Holly's half-brothers are Lucas's stepbrothers (because Khaled married Mila after he broke up with Athena).
Finnian and Gillian did not attend because I had the choice between Lucas inviting all of his family and all of Holly's siblings but those two, or Holly inviting all of her family but not most of his. Plus Lucas could invite the mutual niece and nephews because he goes to visit Wolfgang's family practically every day when I'm playing their household.
Ivy is at Lucas and Holly's house every day also. It's a bit like a sitcom, really.
Oh, did you know that a sim could fall asleep from watching a boring movie? Holly did just that while her sisters were visiting.
Yes her winter wear is a little over the top. She is Father Winter's daughter after all.
And not long after the wedding, Holly woke Lucas up for a big announcement!
And then she also told the Flower Bunny. I guess so he can pass the word to Father Winter.
It will be a while before I can get back to doing long comment posts. And I have to go back and catch up with the long-running stories where I missed posts over the holidays. But I'm still reading most posts. Happy simming to you all!
Mate, it's not my fault you got dirty, YOU DID THAT.
After saying goodbye to Vinny, Roddy went over to the bin:
And put the rubbish in the bin:
'Don't litter, doofus' Roddy said to Bjorn, irritated:
When Roddy was serious, he was serious. Bjorn nodded in understanding. Roddy's next stop was the library:
And he found that someone hadn't put a book away.
'Sophia would have a fit if she saw a messy library' Roddy thought, picking up the book and placing it back on the shelf:
Roddy looked out the window and groaned. 'Not again' he thought. A sim had picked a fight with a vendor:
'I'll handle this, my child' boomed the voice of the Llama God. He snapped his fingers and the Windenburg brawls were stopped. Roddy returned and put another book away:
'This is getting silly' Roddy thought. He then left the library and went to his next destination.
'It's been a while, Jessica! Sorry I hadn't been able to visit' Roddy said:
'It's fine, Roddy! You work hard to try and make everyone smile! That, and the trips to Selvadorada!' Jessica said, looking fondly at Roddy:
The pair then caught up with each other:
Later on, Roddy took a photo of Jessica Lacey:
Penny Lacey came over:
And gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
And then Penny gave Roddy a big hug:
Roddy smiled. He then waved goodbye and went home.
Shine had lit the fire. She and Roddy enjoyed the warmth:
Shine had a sudden urge to do some archaeology:
Then it was off to class for Shine!
Whilst Shine was at her class, Roddy found a mineral:
A few moments later, Shine finished her class and she and Roddy went home.
And Shine got on with her homework:
'I'm doing fine, Serena. Mummy is working very hard on her course' Roddy replied. 'That's good to hear' Serena said, smiling. She then gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
Roddy then chatted with Serena Bhamra for a while:
Then he said goodbye and went back home.
@Keidra, I've finished your saga, and I love it!! Except, you know, that part I'm gonna hate. I hate that part 😅😂
I just want to comment more in depth, so I keep putting you off 😔
I promise! I'm getting there 😂
@ryttu3k
I think that's adorable that one of Johnny's archetypes is innocent 🥰 What traits does he have that caused that? It fits him perfectly.
And yeah, I imagine you will be catching up to my screenshots after you've been playing for two years!
Diego is looking mighty fine in his new outfits with his natural hair color. So much easier to maintain, right?
And Lol about Don. I'm not sure what a woobie is, but I can imagine 🤔
Just remember what the Dr said!! He will be very over emotional for a while! Like at least 6 more months 😂
Maybe he'll calm down after after that? 🤔
@Daephene
I just realized that I'm not sure if these are the last of the elders that were specifically involved in all of Athena's children's lives. Well, I know Akiri is still left, but he's immortal now, right? Will he be going to the retirement village? Anyway, are there more coming? And what will you do if they are the last? Start putting her kids in there? They are aging. I'm just wondering what the plan for the village is. 😊
All of the elder's pictures are adorable 🥰 They look so happy! It was a great idea to switch their aspirations.
And you've inspired me to fix up that beach even more! I didn't think of play equipment for the toddlers, and I think I only have swings for the kids!
I hope Rinaldo gets to meet a dolphin sooner or later.
Lol at Aquazipping over a reef at night 😅
I can't believe you got the ghosts in Sulani that won't show up back home 😂 but I'm so sad that Diego is dead in your game 😢
This is Sabastion Santos. The guy on their tv looked a lot like him, but when I Google for information about whether he's on the TV or not I get no results, so maybe it's not him.
Anyway ..... 😂😅🤣 at Lucas's face!! Yes! He was definitely ready to propose!! What a guy 🥰 I'm glad your plan worked for him. They will be so happy together 😊 I can't remember who her other parent is though?
Ahha! Another update! She's Father Winter's child! Oh yeah! Lol, Holly and Ivy, why didn't I remember that 😅
Speaking of which, Omg at her waving at you!!!! RedDestiny92 and I were just discussing how fun it would be to have everyone post all of the pictures that break the 4th wall together somewhere. I think your picture would win!!! 😂😅
Ahhhh, thanks for telling me about the hotel upgrades so you could have your snowbird home! Such a great idea!
I loved the wedding! It looks like it went so well!! Despite the rain. All of the guests are dressed so nicely! A lot are sitting down for the ceremony - *faints*
Holly does look beyond proud of her accomplishment! I don't blame her, he's an awesome guy!
It was great to see so many family members 😊
And hey, who needs music to dance anyway? 😅
Thorne slipped up, yep. But I think Don needed that anyway, after Thorne's long absence. 😉
@TheLastStar
I'm not crazy about the materialistic trait myself. I often change it on Sims I play regularly.
I don't use any mods in my game, I'm too afraid of corrupting my save, and/or crashing my computer. 😅
But the mod does sound fun! As I've said, if there was a foolproof one that made townies dress and look appropriate, and stopped toddlers and kids from dumping paint everywhere, I just might go for it anyway, despite my fears 😂
I think it will be great if you put up links in your posts, and I think you should probably put them at the beginning, so people can look back to remind themselves about what's going on if they are already following the story. Or read it from the start if they are new. 😊
I totally get you about written comments. They are very nice to get, and I love that there are several people who try to comment on everyone's updates here.
I can tell you a secret too. With the new notification system I sometimes don't go through the thread, but I will answer mentions in my notifications. (I only do that when I'm in a really big hurry though, because notifications are so spotty now) Anyway, if the comments to me are written on the same post with the person's update I can easily respond to their story as well, because it's right there.
So the more comments and mentions that you make about other people's stories, the more people will see your update!
There are posters who almost never respond with comments on your story, despite you commenting on theirs. I believe that is mainly because some of them are super super busy. And I can understand that.
But I still think it's a good way to get conversations going.
I didn't really comment enough about your last update, I got off on a tangent about something, lol. I'll have to go back and look for it again. 😊
I have always wanted to be a published author as well. I'm definitely not posting my best work here on the forum. 😅 It's just for fun here, especially because so many people want pictures to tell the stories. It's much faster to get through the thread with the whole "a picture is worth a thousand words" idea in mind. I like those stories myself. 😊
@Simmelina1
Awww, it was sad to see Mila go 😔
But I loved seeing her boys with her! And hearing about each grandchild. It looks like the ones at the beach are toddlers. But I see kids in the picture with Grim, so maybe I'm seeing the beach picture wrong.
I can see that they will really miss her.
Gallery ID is ARIANNANEAL
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.
Roddy said hello to Norman Felder:
Shine is still at it:
Shine finished her debate practice. Serena Bhamra came over to Roddy and gave him a big loving hug:
She then became best friends with Roddy:
Later on, Shine hopped on an archiving machine and did some research:
Afterwards, she had a drink:
'I'm going to my class, sweetie. See you!' Shine said, smiling:
'See you later, mummy!' Roddy replied:
Shine smiled and gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shine had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Shine smiled and gave Roddy another big loving hug:
She then blew a kiss towards Roddy and set off for class:
A few moments later, Shine came out of her class:
And then she gave him several very big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shine had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy then used one of his makeup removal wipes:
He smiled at Shine:
Roddy and Shine then went back home, and went into the study area:
Splashing in the puddles:
Shine's childish side gets the better of her:
She's not the only one:
Go Shine GO!
'Not right now, I'm concentrating!'
One of the many townies said hello to Roddy:
And she gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
Shine's nearly done!
Off to the exam!
And she's done!
Roddy and Shine went back home:
This term, 2 credits. 6 out of 12, and her GPA is still A+
Wait, those laptops have GLOWING RAINBOW KEYBOARDS?! THAT'S AWESOME!
Lucy Bliss, volunteering for the Art society's Figure painting:
@ryttu3k , And she will continue to be worn out, those lazy 🐸🐸🐸🐸 roommmates of hers!
@O-meezy , I am not I play them at ISBI (challenge where you control only one sim,name comes from "Im Surrounded By Idiots" ) style, means I only control Tessa, game AI (or lack of it in some cases) will take care of the rest
@Becka28 , Thank you Heh, before I got the idea of the challenge, I sent Tessa to play chess a lot, and 90% of the time the person who showed up to her chess partner was Björn (10% Wolfgang), the never had any romantic, but every time after they played Tessa had the first kiss whim!
@Alwaysasking , About the Björn whim, what I mentioned to Becka above Oh plus I had to be careful, as I do have that autonomuous first kiss mod Yes, Wolfgang cannot decide, but to be honest, Tessa cannot either. Their regular bar is allmost half way dark red, but they do have 1/4 pink bar!
W is not good friends with Morgan either, yes they belong to that club, but I never visited the lot the club is gathering. As with my old and hubby's old computer, those multistory lots at Windenburg lagged my game a lot. W is actually best buddies with Ted, he was in that one gym clubs of Ted's from while back at the start of the save, when he still was a teen. Why he also has the best bodyskill of them all, and as Malcolm already got the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 criminal career, W is going to do that beach life guard sulani job
And yep, it was Sofia in the shower
Your update, part where Don talked with Penny, reminded me of something! At Ted/Tessa save, when I started, at the first mccc marriage round it married Don with Penny.. only one couple from first patch who are not divorced, ever cheated, still happily married with many kids I shall post few pics of them soon.
No update as I have the house all by myself tonight, means.. PLAYING!! yay!
Just this, next day, poor girl did not even manage to get to bed! It will get better tho, she has one person to help her with cooking.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
But aside from Akira, yes all the fathers and in-laws either live with their children or in the retirement village right now.
I have plans to marry Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis into the next generation, so I'll be adding her grandparents to the retirement village soon and later her parents. Siobhan might move in there rather than live with Morgan forever, but that depends on whether she meets someone else after Gerardo passes. Also if they can earn the points, they can each have up to three potions of youth just like the elders in my family households, making them live to just over 100 if they take all three, so some of them may be around a while.
And eventually, the Sigworth and Bjergsen parents will move in there when their children marry into one of my families. And the Landgraabs. And the Bheedas, who have a baby girl. And I'll probably do like I did with the Heckings for the Pancakes, and create a child who will marry in. Whether they move in with that child or go to the retirement village will be determined when the time comes.
And if it starts to look like the household might become empty before someone moves in, I can cheat and not play it for a rotation or two so they don't age until the next residents are ready to move in.
That sim does look like the one on the tv. Makes you wonder.
@Daephene Thank you.
Cecilia Pizzazz Munch
Events the last days changed Munch familytree forever. Hunter, Iselin & Janelle became children and I gave birth to baby Kenneth and baby Liana into our family.
Hunter.
Iselin.
Janelle.
A lot of people posted about color of the year 2020 on Instagram. The color i classic blue. So I decided to dress up in blue clothes.
A fire started in the kids room while Gunther & I were at work. So happy Mila was there to extinguish the fire.
Mila brought Iselin, Hunter & Janelle to beach to cheer them up.
We knew this day would come. But hoped it wouldn't come this soon. My mother in law Mila died while she took a nap. Everyone in the family are very sad because we lost a dear family member. It is heartbreaking to see my husband Gunther so sad. This brings back memories about when my parents Penny Pizzazz & Adam Vera Le Chien died.
Kenneth & Liana became toddlers today. So Gunther & I brought them to the beach, while the other kids were at school.
Kenneth.
Liana.
My brother Fredrik came to visit my family. We talked about future plans. If Gunther & I become parents to a girl in the future, her name is going to be Mila.
I wonder what life has in store for my siblings Elsa, Dara & Fredrik.

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
Kenneth and Liana look so adorable!
@AlwaysAsking Yup, there are new careers that come with DU, which are the law, education, and engineer careers. The research and debate skill is useful for the law and education. According to the guides for DU, the requirements ask for the Sim to reach a certain level of that skill to be promoted in those careers.
The WordPress guide is done. But have a link to it instead, because um, it's big. Lol
Click me! I squeak!!
Also if anyone nabbed the poly flag before I fixed it, I fixed it, redownload it xD

I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.

Stop player on player violence.
@AlwaysAsking lol I love water but then I usually freeze a container of water and drink it while it defrosts with whatever else i have. Simeon is pretty cute then, ha yeah thats why he's special easy to hate or love.
He loves getting his way you see Diego is just like that. I love Nef I enjoy him more than I thought I should make more simply different sims. They make some pair that way its funny to imagine Don rejecting people I think I have had him do that....or no that was Bob who he got close to while being his personal trainer. Heh cant even remember.
It is sort of interesting but they are always so busy I was sure they rocked all their classes. We'll have to see of studying more makes a difference. They moved out of the dorm to be with one another and ar more alone than ever.
Heh hey no worries glad you liked it I believe Ill be playing more as they still have school to finish so they have to spammed.
@Keidra I know i never bug you but I love your build it turned out amazing. I might also look at that tutorial it was nice of you to offer for anyone.
Okay awesomes out my net is having a fit.
All the sims err'day
My heir, Roslynn, whose been orphaned and lives in the Orphanage was once again woken up in the middle of the night to the monster under her bed. She tried to make friends with it for maybe the fourth night in a row, but it does not want to be her friend no matter how kindly she speaks with it.
She later invited over a friend to the Orphanage to play. However, he showed up in a bad mood. Despite pestering him, all I could make out was that he was probably being bullied at school? So, good-girl Roslynn tried to cheer him up by spending all day telling him jokes, making silly faces, and later pushing him on the swings out back without even taking a turn for herself.
But it didn't last for very long... He still went home sad.
The kids spent the rest of the weekend focusing on their unfinished schoolwork, with a little helpful supervision from Auntie.
So as a reward, I wanted Auntie to take them out, but I realized I didn't have many family-friendly community lots. So, I spent most of my playtime making a movie theater for them to enjoy
BEHOLD!
So, I finally had her take the kids out for the night for being so well behaved throughout the last week. I think they had fun, but it got late and they ended up staying out way past their bedtime. Everyone went straight to bed when they got home!
Alas... Roslynn was woken up again in the middle of the night...
But this time it wasn't the monster. It was her little sister, who'd wandered up the stairs and seems to be having trouble sleeping herself. Who knows maybe the monster is visiting her, too?
Roslynn spent the rest of the night into the wee hours of the morning cheering her little sister up.
Man, school is gonna be ROUGH this week...
What's a girl gotta do to get some sleep around here?

@Nushnushganay the photos bit (both taking and selling them) is under the settings for... hmm, how to phrase this... the section of the settings which dictate whether certain NPCs show up! Just if you want to change that at all.
And yeah, all good, re: AO3. I just really like them as an organisation! Did you know they just won a Hugo? (I wonder if I can put 'contributed to Hugo Award-winning project' in my resume? XD)
@Keidra that looks fabulous! I love the flag corner, and I really dig the kitchen, that's such a good pack. The herbs on the wall are such a nice pop of colour! And I love that hanging swing chair! My only suggestion would be to put up more paintings and wall art, but that's my suggestion for everything XD
And honestly, Morgyn is just eminently shippable. I've seen Morgyn/Grace floating around, too.
Also, uh, I tried the new download for the flag and it went to a Hanzi Helper? XD;;
@Beardedgeek yeah, straight As!! And yeah, I feel that sadness is normal. It's not just five weeks for a Sim, it's the equivalent of probably several years, so it's a big moment!
@TheLastStar I saw that edit on Insta and it's still rad
@Daephene no problem, hope you're able to find them! And if all else fails, there tends to be a ton of plants around Mua Pel'am (the volcanic island). And a lovely wedding!
@AlwaysAsking not sure, honestly! It's probably Outgoing, because I think Goofball is what gave him the Jester trait. On the other hand, Lilith and Morgyn also have Outgoing, and neither of them have the Innocent trait, and Caleb does! (I think that was because of his aspirations, though - Good Vampire, previously Friend of the World). And this is a woobie!
@keenow man, poor li'l Roslynn! She seems to be having a rough time!
Yeah, I intend to coat the walls with Cassandra's paintings lol
And I fixed it. My bad. Missed a URL level.

Blake complained to his roomie, Marlena, about the C he got in his Advanced Logical Principles
She then pointed Blake to the right direction by giving him ways to study better.
Later, he and Tommy kicked the soccer ball together.
So far so good.
Oh no! As he was kicking the ball around, the ball went up and hit his head.
Tommy:
Blake: Not funny dude...
Tommy: Sorry, I couldn't help myself!
Final Term Day 1
He woke up, got changed, and saw that Zack, who he met a while ago, came by for a visit.
Zack enthused Blake about dance parties and encouraged him to attend some.
Later, he went to class and after class, he did his homework at the library.
Then, he invited several of his friends to study at the UBrite Commons.
Siobhan: Wow! I'm gaining lots of knowledge on the ancient arts!
After a productive study session, he went to Foxbury to toilet paper their statue.
He also put the UBrite banners on their stadium.
Final Term Day 2
Before class, he studied for a bit.
After class, he grabbed some lunch and overheard Siobhan and Melanie talking about the Debate Guild.
Siobhan: Blake! The Debate Guild's Debate Practice event is starting soon! I heard they will be debating on which is better: rideshare services or public transportation.
Blake: That sounds cool!
The Debate Guild held its Debate Practice event and he stayed to watch the debate.
After the event over, he saw Florian and bro bumped him.
Blake: Great to see you as usual, dude!
Florian: Same here, bro!
They got another picture together
He went back to the dorms and worked on his homework
Taylor: These cookies are out of this world! Whoever made these is the best!
Blake: I had these cookies before and I agree! My compliments to the chef!
Few minutes later, Siobhan came in and joined Taylor and Blake's conversation.
Those three then talked about their plans after graduation. Blake intends to get a career as a Computer Engineer. By the way, I noticed that photographs can be placed on a table, turning it into a standing photo. I did that with Blake's recent picture with Florian.
So that's so like him. But the weird thing was, his daughter Rose, that he had with Lilith, was nowhere to be seen! I then played the Vatore household so I could check Rose's family tree personally, and found that Gaston was wiped from her record! She had no father at all. She had Lilith as a mother, but as if she had been made in CAS with only Lilith as a mother. No dad.
Never saw anything like that before. Was wondering if the beverage he consumed that took him on a life-changing journey could actually delete his paternity like that, but if so, why only Rose, and not Lakshmi Bjergsen? Maybe Lakshmi was born after the journey?
It's weird. I know he was completely ambivalent about the way he became a father in the first place, but the story I had intended to continue, had him doing his best to be an involved father anyway. Now he's just some stranger. Odd.
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
Update on Pretty Little Liars Legacy Charlotte + Tane (Generation 7)
That's Mike as a toddler.
This is our current "heir cat" His name is Poptart. (male)
This is a female kitten we adopted named Penny.
Charlotte had her third baby named Samara. (Naming theme is Pretty Little Liars in case you didn't know) The character Samara was a minor character that I think dated Emily for a little bit.
This is our cat Penny as an adult cat.
Not the best looking cat but whatever we still love her.
Birthday time.
Charlotte went from young adult to adult.
The oldest son, Noel, aged into a child.
Noel was a character in the show that was kind of a bad guy... but don't worry Noel in the show got what's coming to him. (ya'll should watch the show if you haven't already. It's great!)
Then Samara became a toddler. I really like her so far. As of now she's probably my top pick for heir.
See all that gardening? Charlotte has the freelance botanist aspiration and she completed it!
It started out pretty well with the two playing around on the swings and getting to know each other a bit better
Afterwards Dre gave Camila the portrait of her that he had painted and she loved it!
Then he serenaded her with a love song he wrote specifically for this occasion
The song was so beautiful that a small crowd formed to hear him play
After finishing the song, expressed exactly how he felt about her and lucky for him, Camila felt the exact same way
So he took a chance, went in for the kiss and she loved it!
Dre asked Camila to be his girlfriend and she said yes
Time for a game of chess!
Afterwards, Julia said goodbye and went back to her university housing.
And did some archaeology:
Benjamin gives him a plasma pack.
And after a few moments of chatting, Silus went back to his home in Glimmerbrook.
Her hair's changed!
Roddy felt a bit peckish, so he got some pizza rolls out:
Carol talked to Hamish and Sophia:
Roddy put the empty plate in the dishwasher:
Carol then said goodbye and went back to Primrose Hearth.
'Yep, i'm ready to go!' Roddy replied:
'Well, you take care!' Benjamin said, smiling. Shine came over and gave Benjamin a big smooch on the cheek:
'See you, honey' Shine said. 'Have fun and stay safe, my fair maiden' Benjamin said, smiling:
He waved as Shine and Roddy got into the taxi and set off for the airport.
