    @Daephene, page 581.
    Thank you! Roddy was having some serious bad hair day with his previous ponytail.

    @Becka28, page 581.
    I think I know which video you watched. It's Harry Partridge!

    I'm not getting far in my hopes of catching up Ugg, endless distractions! Tomorrow (today) is another day. It's 6:23 am and I haven't been to bed yet. I need to sleep for a while.

    @Destinycrow

    "That face though" 😂

    Your update on pg 579 is hilarious! Lmao at TLDR! It's so worth the read 😄

    What an interesting family. Although I'm not sure of the relationships between them. Ryan is quite a guy. Doing sit ups through the saddness, then being a weirdo in the bathroom. He seems like he'd be fun to be around. 😉


    @CheesySimsLover

    Lol, your "voice" for Oscar was great. He did not look thrilled at the prospect of kittens with Tofu.

    Idk if you decided what to do with Braylon, but I'm of the opinion that he's happy with his new son and it would be great if he could be with him 😊


    @RedDestiny

    You've been so busy since I last could post, that I can't possibly get to all of it in depth 😅

    But I'm glad we'll get to see Tak's face one of these days.

    Also, on your 8 kids challenge for Simon and Luna, you can only have 8 Sims in a household 😂😅😉 so 6 is the max you'll see.

    This new Bob and Don story, my my. Bob is a troublemaker, or something. What's up with him rejecting Don but taking up with Paulo? (Who seems highly uninteresting to me 😂 )

    It seems so funny to me that Bob Pancakes could be the subject of a crush 😂 especially Don's! I wish I could see better, because it looks like Don has a look of hopeless longing as he talks with Bob while Bob's in the pool. Poor Don. He's having a hard time in your stories lately. 😄

    But the story is great. I love Kendrick's alienness. He's funny as hell. Jealousy makes his stomachs hurt.

    I'm glad Iggy went with Bob. 😊 And Hector is the cutest!!

    Don's father is quite interesting..... I'm not sure how Don can stand him. And I don't think he's ever going to get the appropriate girlfriend that his dad is looking for 😅


    @Koteyka

    I can't keep up with comments these days 😔 But I love your story as much as ever. It's so great that Pepper is having a baby for them! And I had been wondering one time about how to choose who the father would be in a surrogate mother situation.

    I totally get your reasoning. I'd had the same thought. Tony is older, and Steve will want Tony's child if he loses Tony.

    And this update with the baby's things is so cute. The guys are so happy together. It's fun to see, and then remember the scene with them on the bed in the flashback.

    Thor is smart, I see his point. I guess Steve eventually does too.

    It will be interesting to see what job Tony can do.


    @miloek

    Mags looks like a fun Sim! I need to find more updates about her! This one with Johnny Zest is great!

    "Goes to the Romance Festival with Baako Jang (as friends, don't worry)" I'm glad you said that, I would have worried 😄

    Your Johnny is precisely a "sweet little boy" and that last pic with Geoffrey ... what the heck is he doing? 😅 He looks like such a dork. Is that how all Sims look while placing an order?

    Oh! Another date! Gosh it went well! (Except for the parents, lol). Officially Bf and Gf now! "omg yea"



    @Jase

    Thanks 😊 I'm glad you like Don and Thorne together.

    Your new little family is cute. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Awesome idea! The alter egos - together at last, lol

    Also, instead of abandoning your many saves, why don't you put all your new families together in one save so you can play them from time to time? I'm just curious about how people handle their saves.

    @sarabeth2984

    Awww, thanks 😊 I'm glad you thought Luna and Simon were cute together. Watching Sims do autonomous actions is mind blowing, lol

    Clint's origin story is great. How fun to recreate him on PC, and now you could feasibly have the original too! 😯

    Aunt Vivienne does sound awesome. That Max parenting skill is amazing, but yeah, let the parents have some time with them. Lol. Romance in her life sounds good. I'm glad she got the part! Channeling her inner spinster must have worked perfectly!

    The clicking "bring here" option should have crossed my mind for children, because I used to have Jasper and Laney bring each other up all the time, duh. They just never have kids, so it didn't occur to me. 😅

    I lmao at Melusine. What a woman! Such disappointment in her life! Those darn daughters! An old"ish" wizard, a complete alien! Or an affair with Thorne Bailey! How to choose which one is the least horrible 😂 And poor Rosie, being stuck as the favorite for now! Actually poor Clint. He's the one getting the glares 😅

    @Admiral8Q

    Muana and Marcelli must be having a blast in Sulani. If I was going to run away, I'd definitely go there. And the painting is definitely the most romantic painting ever! 😊

    Club gathering
    Roddy called The Order of the Pink over for a gathering. First to arrive was Jessica Lacey. She and Roddy hugged each other and kissed each other's cheek:
    01-14-20_10-05-58%25C2%25A0PM-2.png
    01-14-20_10-06-05%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'I like your new hairstyle!' Jessica said, complimenting Roddy's new feminine hairstyle:
    01-14-20_10-07-25%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'Thank you, my sparkling pink sapphire!' Roddy replied, beaming:
    01-14-20_10-07-28%25C2%25A0PM.png
    The pair then chatted:
    01-14-20_10-07-36%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Meanwhile, Carol Brinson hugged Hamish in the living room:
    01-14-20_10-10-10%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And chatted:
    01-14-20_10-10-30%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Carol went down to the club room basement. Roddy gave her a big loving hug and a kiss on the cheek when he spotted her:
    01-14-20_10-15-41%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_10-15-53%25C2%25A0PM.png
    The trio then chatted together:
    01-14-20_10-16-42%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Carol then gave Roddy a very big smooch on the cheek:
    01-14-20_10-23-52%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_10-23-49%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And a bit later, Jessica gave Roddy a big loving hug and a smooch on the cheek:
    01-14-20_10-30-13%25C2%25A0PM.png
    The trio chatted some more:
    01-14-20_10-33-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And then Carol gave Jessica a smooch on the cheek:
    01-14-20_10-35-35%25C2%25A0PM.png
    After a few more sim hours of socializing, Roddy ended the gathering. Carol gave him a big loving hug:
    01-14-20_10-36-24%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_10-36-35%25C2%25A0PM-2.png
    And then Carol Brinson and Jessica Lacey went home.
    Intermission
    Camping in the snow:

    And Pizza from the cold weather food stall:
    01-14-20_11-25-45%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Ice Skating
    Roddy then went to Newcrest for a bit of ice skating:
    01-14-20_11-44-25%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-44-36%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-44-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy then practiced a few ice skating tricks:
    01-14-20_11-45-20%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-45-45%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-47-30%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Shine came over and did a few tricks:
    01-14-20_11-52-16%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-53-42%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-14-20_11-54-19%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Benjamin also came over and did a few tricks:
    01-14-20_11-56-08%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And then the weather changed into blizzard conditions, sending everyone running for shelter:
    01-14-20_11-58-31%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And then Shine, Roddy and Benjamin went back to Dianthus Hall:

    @AlwaysAsking ha you know me just nice someone pointed out they liked something, well I know I meant when you have the limit then Luna could get tired of all the work and unnaturally age all the spell casters then have more kids. Boom there's your challenge ha, Bob isn't doing anything, he is unsure about himself and cares about Don. Don is already upset with him so he doesn't want to just use him while he's curious and find out he would still rather have a life with woman, as for Paolo it's at least nice to be the target of someone's affections especially after locking yourself away as much as you can. He also rejected Don when Iggy was little and before the kids existed so it's been years.

    Don has held on it not just because no one has ever rejected him before but because Bob was the first he was genuinely interested in and then the first he was love with.

    No you got it, Don is having a hard time holding onto his frustrations and not just because of how good Mr. Pancakes looks in swim trunks you see lol.

    Ken is a doll that way...hehe and yes I know what I did there, as with his story he's from Bob was someone that Eliza could be rescued from even though he was at his worst when she left him so he's never been a villain. Just something of one with unfortunate timing it worked out for them and his stomachs found peace..kind of :D

    Ah yes Iggy couldn't give up dear old dad, Hector was going to be a full grown dog but I just can't resist the tiny fluff balls.

    Don has some issues that have been bubbling up that got worse when he lost Bob and now he's being forced to realize them, though not directly he just responds to all the pent up stress. Making him an easy target for his father.

    I have more ideas but I have to work earlier today so it'll be a bit :p

    Sim day 4

    UOqXIUH.png
    The date continues! She tried proposing, but either SOL or meaningful stories made Lilith not want to since they just started dating. :'(

    dVw2Gwz.png
    Some guy sat at our picnic bench. RUDE!

    cF3iMy6.png
    She went home and took a shower. Why I screenshotted it, I do not know.

    Lilith came over.

    She just got home from work. She broke her table eating streak afterward, though. :/

    Evp6iGJ.png
    She was angry for some reason, but I had a mirror.

    VERY intense cooking show.

    I hate how snobby they look when they freshen up!

    Lv8aVrQ.png
    They went on another date.

    LM4uUHG.png
    Lilith felt embarrassed, probably from SOL acne, since she had the heavy acne appearance on.

    If anyone wants to see Caleb blissing out Liberace-style at Vlad's piano during a thunderstorm, after I released him from so much anguish by pushing the big red relationship reset/forget button, here's that on Twitter!
    Sorry, there weren't any feathers, just ordinary Caleb garb. If I had known ahead of time he was going to do that (and sound so good!) I would have dressed him in high flamboyant style for it!

    Not quite christmas/winterfest in my game, but it's getting close. The family have just finished adding presents to the pile:
    01-15-20_10-11-22%25C2%25A0AM.png
    Getting the mail:
    01-15-20_11-17-15%25C2%25A0AM.png
    Storytime with Roddy!
    Roddy got ready to record a vlog:
    01-15-20_11-37-58%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Hello there! It's Roddy!'
    01-15-20_11-38-09%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'I've got a story about my life in the family!'
    01-15-20_11-38-15%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'When I was a wee toddler, I loved to go with dad and aunt Wendy on their daily tasks of protecting Sulani's environment'
    01-15-20_11-38-17%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'I was still learning how to walk, but my family helped me. I loved to splash in the ocean and make sand sculptures with my family'
    01-15-20_11-38-36%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'One day, I was building a sand castle with aunt Wendy. She had dug a moat around the sandcastle. In order to make it a proper sand castle, the moat needed water. So, I hobbled to the ocean, and managed to fill my bucket with water'
    01-15-20_11-38-44%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'When I was nearly there, I lost my step and fell head first into the bucket! Whoops!'
    01-15-20_11-38-50%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'I wandered around the area, wondering who on earth had turned out the lights!'
    01-15-20_11-38-59%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Wendy and dad saw what had happened, and couldn't help but laugh!'
    01-15-20_11-39-08%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Wendy took the bucket off my head and gave me a big smooch on the forehead!'
    01-15-20_11-40-21%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Afterwards, we finished the sandcastle and moat, and it looked amazing!'
    01-15-20_11-40-29%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'I hope you enjoyed that story!'
    01-15-20_11-40-33%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Have an awesome day!'
    01-15-20_11-40-58%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'And let that smile spread!'
    01-15-20_11-40-59%25C2%25A0AM.png
    'Roddy, signing off!'
    01-15-20_11-41-05%25C2%25A0AM.png
    Roddy then edited the video and posted it:
    01-15-20_11-47-56%25C2%25A0AM.png
    Roddy sat back in the chair and relaxed.

    Ice Skating
    Roddy went over to Magnolia Blossoms park:
    01-15-20_12-41-53%25C2%25A0PM.png
    He turned on his camera drone and did some ice skating. His drone is called Marnie, by the way:

    And then he was done!
    01-15-20_12-46-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Live Stream!
    Roddy then tried out Marnie's Livestream mode:
    01-15-20_12-49-39%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And started building a snowpal!
    01-15-20_12-50-20%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-15-20_12-50-23%25C2%25A0PM.png

    01-15-20_12-52-00%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy finished building the snowpal:
    01-15-20_12-59-32%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And ended the livestream:
    01-15-20_1-02-18%25C2%25A0PM.png
    He put Marnie back in his inventory.
    Calming Teulia Nanui down
    Teulia Nanui was not happy for some reason:
    01-15-20_1-04-44%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'What's the matter, Teulia?' Roddy asked the teenage mermaid. 'The weather's making me quite grumpy. My scales are freezing!' Teulia replied:
    01-15-20_1-05-05%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'I quite like winter, but I don't like blizzard conditions, so I know how you feel, Teulia. Now take a deep breath' Roddy said, calming his friend down:
    01-15-20_1-05-10%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'Thanks, Roddy! That made me feel better!' Teulia said, feeling better:
    01-15-20_1-05-36%25C2%25A0PM.png
    She gave Roddy a big hug:
    01-15-20_1-05-52%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And a big smooch on the cheek:
    01-15-20_1-10-18%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-15-20_1-10-25%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'You're welcome, Teulia!' Roddy said, cheerfully:
    01-15-20_1-11-36%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy then said goodbye and went back to Dianthus Hall.
    More recording
    Roddy arrived back home:
    01-15-20_1-44-21%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And transferred the video to the video station:
    01-15-20_1-45-44%25C2%25A0PM.png
    He then sent Marnie out to film the neighbourhood:
    01-15-20_1-47-29%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-15-20_1-48-27%25C2%25A0PM.png
    A few moments later, Marnie was back:
    01-15-20_1-51-27%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy retrieved Marnie, and combined the ice skating video with the neighbourhood video. He also edited it:
    01-15-20_1-57-16%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy uploaded the video and then relaxed.

    @Daephene It is 6 days until Fredrik become a young adult.

    Fun time.

    After eating so much turkey and snacks, I headed to the gym.
    I fangirled when I saw superstar Christian Harp.

    My boyfriends cousin Carolina Behr Le Chien also fangirled when she saw Christian Harp. She passed out on the floor behind me. So glad I didn’t do that.

    https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/17316673/#Comment_17316673


    Thorne managed to get Don to go back to their place, and then he desperately tried to convince Don that he hadn't been threatening him when he said, "So knock it off! Or I'll knock it off for you."

    Iehf0SU.png

    The trouble with that endeavor was that there was no way to do it. It was a threat, no two ways about it. But Thorne explained again and again that it wasn't. "It's just something dumb that I say Don," Thorne explained. "It doesn't mean anything. I would never try to hurt you. I would never hurt our baby. Please, how can you think that? I couldn't do it, I wouldn't do it."

    hYCYaj7.png

    And Don said, "No, you've threatened me before. You told me not to leave Malcolm's house. You said you'd know if I did. What were you going to do if I did leave his house Thorne? You never said that part, but punishment was implied."

    gqi3QoA.png

    That sentence stopped Thorne sharp. Did he just say implied? Thorne asked himself. He doesn't use words like implied. He uses words like, "I knew what ya meant."

    13ciZfL.png

    Spoiler for Part 1

    "I wouldn't have hurt you then either," Thorne insisted. "I just didn't want to worry about you getting in trouble when I wasn't there to help you. It was better for you to be at Malcolm's house. You were sick Don!"

    pqcbVlV.png

    "It was a threat," Don countered. "And when you came into my room after your trip you started to shout at me about leaving Malcolm's house, when I hadn't even done that! You’re always like that."

    GxIi8Qr.png

    "But it's not threats," Thorne said. "Just words. How could I hurt you Don? I told you, I love you, and I love our baby. I'd do anything for you two."

    wCoaBGa.png

    "You're possessive Thorne. I thought I could ignore it, but now I don't think I should," Don answered. "If you're like that with me after the baby is born it will be a toxic place to raise a child."

    eJToiuT.png

    Thorne was getting more confused. Possessive? Toxic? What’s going on? Why is Don talking like this all of a sudden? He's never used words like this before.

    9S36vj4.png

    "Don, baby, please listen to me," Thorne said. "Maybe I seem possessive, but it's not in a mean way. I just wanted you to understand how important you are to me. How much I wanted you with me. And I was afraid to tell you that I love you, because I thought you'd run from me if I did."

    bDjhm4l.png

    "I have to think," Don said. "You need to let me think. I'm afraid for the baby now. I don't know if I want you to be around it. You're making excuses, and I don't know if I believe them."

    3YKqRr8.png

    "Please Don, please believe me. I'm not a bad person. I wouldn't hurt our baby. I wouldn't hurt you," Thorne begged. "I'm not afraid to say it anymore. I love you. I'm afraid because you won't say it to me. I'm acting like some tough guy, because you won't say it. But I'm not actually tough. I just want to be with you, and I know that you want to be with me."

    NQHzVho.png

    "I don't know if I do," Don answered truthfully.

    "You do, I know you do," Thorne said, and Don let him put his arms around him.

    guYSVwf.png

    "I really don't know Thorne," Don said again. "Can you give me some space? I need to think."

    He4IYKk.png

    "Sure Don," Thorne answered. "I'll leave you alone for a little while. But I know you want to be with me. I'm sure you do. We're so good together, we're having a great time. And I won't ever talk to you like that again."

    84VZDAg.png

    Thorne kissed him, and then left him alone.

    UsOIPdX.png

    Don laid on the couch, half crying, and eventually he felt asleep.

    2E4IG7F.png

    When he woke up he called Malcolm.

    VffFZkB.png

    He saw that Thorne was asleep in the spare bedroom.

    k932FZh.png

    And he left.

    VF3jpW8.png


    Spoiler for Part 2
    It took Thorne 3 days to find Don.

    AkWzV8j.png

    And Don didn't look very happy to have been found.

    x0LwqQB.png

    But Thorne wasn't going to walk away until Don was ready to come with him.

    EDmmQNZ.png

    "Don, please look at me," Thorne said. "Please."

    DEfQqIN.png

    Don tried to look at Thorne, but it was too painful.

    zEOiuqu.png

    That's when Thorne said, "I'm dying without you Don. Please talk to me. Tell me it's not too late."

    huQ6gJp.png

    Don managed to look at Thorne, and Thorne said, "I mean it Don. I don't know what to do. If you don't want me to be around you and the baby, I ...." and he trailed off, not knowing what to say.

    ZLPfaLO.png

    Don told him, "I don't know what to do either. I can't function. But you're scary Thorne. I'm not afraid of you, but I know a child will be. I can't do that to our baby."

    WjRKI1t.png

    "I understand that now," Thorne said. "Malcolm finally answered after the 20th time I called him. He’s so mad at me Don. I've never heard him talk like that before."

    3Dszw5h.png

    "Yeah, he's really angry at you. He's telling me to come home. He said he'll pay for a plane ticket," Don said. "I told him I wanted to wait a couple of days, to make sure it's what I really want. I think he's mad at me too, because I won't leave you right away. He's not saying anything though."

    pEu5U7W.png

    "Don, I'm sorry, I didn't get it. I thought you were mad because I was in that bar with those people. I thought you were overreacting to something that is just part of my life," Thorne explained. "Malcolm told me that you didn't even care about that very much. You were sad because I lied, and then heartbroken when I threatened you... because of our baby. You're afraid I'll hurt our baby."

    0hIPJ0t.png

    "I don't think I should take a chance," Don said. "I feel like I would be a really bad parent to put my baby at risk. But I don't want to leave you Thorne. It's really hard to do."

    lVr0CV5.png

    Thorne reached out tentatively, checking with Don whether it was ok to touch him or not. Don did not recoil, so Thorne gently stroked his cheek. "Don, you don't have any reason to believe me, I understand that," Thorne said. "But can you please give me one more chance? I promise, I'll try harder. I have to learn to think like you've already learned to. That I don't matter as much anymore."

    H528DG3.png

    Thorne pulled Don into his arms, and Don didn't resist. Thorne said, "Our baby is what's important. Every decision you’ve been making is because of our baby. I get it now. But I need your help. I've never been a parent. You just get it. You're already doing it. I want to learn. I have to learn. I can't stand to lose you two."

    pfKKMui.png

    "It's not that easy," Don said, and he walked away from Thorne.

    QuIO7GS.png

    Luckily for Thorne, Don was just walking to a bench to sit down. "Can you tell me why it's not that easy?" Thorne asked him. "I need to understand."

    UjvIuZ2.png

    "Because if you do hurt our child, physically or emotionally, it will be my fault for letting you do it," Don explained. "I would never forgive myself."

    kW8c3HQ.png

    "Is there a way to convince you that I won't?" Thorne asked. "I bought a beautiful home for us. Out in Brindleton Bay. I'm not going to live in the city anymore. All I want is to be with you and our baby."

    BxLSCpk.png

    "You can't buy love Thorne. You can't buy trust," Don said. "You can't make me forgive and forget any awful thing you do by buying things for me."

    UjRDH8i.png

    "I didn't buy it now, since I scared you like that. I bought it before we left. I wanted to surprise you when we went back," Thorne explained. "I wanted you to understand how much it meant to me when you said you'd be my boyfriend. I'm always thinking about you. I always want you to be happy. That's why I brought you here. So you could see how nice it would be for us to live together. And then I messed it up so much."

    VSElqWM.png

    "I'm not trying to buy your love or forgiveness," Thorne continued. "I'm hoping that you already love me. I was hoping that you would be happy to be with me, so I could help you raise our baby. I just wanted you to know that it's not just words when I say I love you. I do love you, and I hope very much that you love me."

    VQMIv1A.png

    "Can you answer me?" Thorne asked. "Please? Is there a way to make you trust me? I promise, I get it now. I'm not used to a person who doesn't think of their own wants and needs first. Or someone who is so mature that they look so far into the future like you. I'm used to people who just want to be with me because I'm rich and famous. Who get angry and jealous when I spend time with my fans.”

    AaaL7Nd.png

    “I lied to you about going to see those fans, because I thought you were like those other people I've dated who threw a fit when I did it. But after I thought about it I realized that you weren't having a fit until I yelled at you. You didn't even confront me in the bar like all the others have. The ones who were with me to get attention. You were just sad. You were sad because I lied, weren't you?"

    xY6khf5.png

    "Yeah," Don said. "I really was, and of course I didn't confront you in the bar. I didn't want any attention on me. I didn't want to embarrass you. I stayed because I wanted to see how far you'd go with them. I can't have a cheater with me. Do you know how much it hurts a child to see infidelity?"

    Rz4VnAe.png

    Wow, Thorne thought. There he goes with the big words again. This is so weird.... "No Don," he said. "I don't know how much it would hurt a child, but I knew it would hurt you. I don't want to hurt you."

    jYH8QR9.png

    “Will you come with me?” Thorne asked him. “Can we go back to our place?”

    zF7FJWr.png

    Don said that he would.

    Update of Legacy 2.0 Carly + Duane Generation 2

    Xc9AKLX.png

    Carly's sisters are over for a visit.

    The blonde is Sue and the brunette is Frankie.

    It's time for Eden's birthday from toddler to child.

    LOHwQFa.png

    No more toddlers in this house!

    Then Axl from child to teen.

    One of the kids set the science set on fire >_<

    xb25wqn.png

    We adopted a dog named Baloo and gave away our dog Lola's parents to relatives so we would have room to have puppies again.

    i3G9UXA.png

    Lola gave birth to a girl we named Denise. I named her after my mother in law. No idea why it just popped in my head when she was born.

    UUSdVGV.png

    Brick has his birthday from child to teen.

    lSeell9.png

    I have chosen Brick as my heir.

    Brick's aspiration is Master Chef. His current randomly rolled traits are Music Lover and Dog Lover. I love his green eyes too.

    About 3 days before he becomes an adult I will stop playing this save until I get discover university. I will get all saves to about that point. Except maybe not 100 Babies... that one I probably won't be sending anyone to college but maybe hooking up with new premades and I don't need to wait to get that done. In Legacy 2.0 and Pretty Little Liars Legacy I want my heirs to be about 3 days away from young adult and I'll get DU and send them to college!

    I still need to get ROM, but I'm more excited about Discover University. I will get ROM on the next generation after this one. Unless... something better comes around...

    He felt a bit silly, though, because it was blizzard conditions. So he made his way inside:

    Then he chatted with Eliana:
    01-15-20_7-40-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Elliana gave him two very big smooches on his cheek. Smooch 1:

    01-15-20_8-14-13%25C2%25A0PM.png

    01-15-20_8-14-36%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Then the pair chatted some more:
    01-15-20_8-27-40%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy then felt a bit tired and had a nap on one of the loveseats:
    01-15-20_9-35-13%25C2%25A0PM.png
    After a while, Roddy woke up, feeling refreshed:
    01-15-20_9-38-05%25C2%25A0PM.png
    He sensed a break in the weather. 'Thanks for letting me stay for a while!' Roddy said, gratefully. 'You're welcome, Roddy! Take care!' Eliana said, giving her neighbour a big loving hug:
    01-15-20_9-58-26%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Eliana blew a kiss towards Roddy as he left to get back home. Roddy arrived safely back:
    01-15-20_10-33-31%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy then went into the media studio and replied to comments that were left on the videos:

    @rrytu3k

    Ohhhh, ok, if that was the last update then I did see it.

    I was quite upset at first, until I saw that Morgyn was ok. They were very mature about it.

    Lol I don't ever remember being that mature about a break up. Of course, those guys were actually quite older than they appeared, right? I can't remember about Morgyn.

    @Becka28

    I adored the last update about Colton and Lorenzo! Emmanuel is adorable! I was surprised how dark his skin was as an infant though. Lorenzo must be darker than he appears.

    How wonderful that Colton is shaping up for Lorenzo and Emmanuel! He started off as a slimmer Sim, right?

    And that photo booth thing is so cool! Why don't the stuff packs go on sale!!! I want a ton of them, lol

    Wow at Gilbert. He's a bit of a player 😯 and it will be 8 Sims now, fun!

    How great that Colton got promoted 😁 I had Ian get some reward store trait that tells him all 3 traits of someone when he meets them, as quickly as I could save up the whim points for it. 😅 I never had a problem again. But yeah, I feel your pain on that one. The game does try to make the arrests impossible.

    Lorenzo's face in the delivery room! Ohhh, my heart. Poor man. But I'm sure it was worth a thousand times more pain for him to have his own baby. At least if he's anything like Lawrence, which he seems to be 😂

    Omg at the party. What is up with Fabian? 🤣 And that politician! What a plum! 😄

    Will there be a wedding? 😉

    And ok, I get it about Alana's save. I have no shame about quitting without saving, lol. And now I've discovered the toggle death off thing. I'm just going to use that, because quitting without saving is quite annoying 😜

    But yeah, Bjorn really messed up your mind! I think MCCC must really change the game, or maybe Passionate romance does. My teenagers never act like that. Maybe more reality in the game is fun for some players. I'm not one of them 😉

    I have so much more stress than I need, I will never purposely add more, lol

    That's pretty funny that it took you a minute to recognize your bar 😅


    @Nindigo

    Oh my gosh at the disaster of accepting the athlete career for Don 1 day before graduation!!!

    Shoot, I'd have been tempted to quit without saving, although you probably don't realize what had happened until it was too late.

    At least he's back as a body builder. I guess Nina will be the villain of the family 🙄

    Today I played my Cantrell save. I've lined up birthday parties, as I'm going to age them up very soon. It's the last week of Spring. Aaron will age up first. Erik will follow, then Joey, then Brianna. I'll have to decide if Erik's girlfriend will age up shortly thereafter. At any rate, today Erik was invited to a Charity Event, so realizing he messed up on a prior occasion, he made certain to ask Tamela along. Things went well and the two took turns donating Simoleons to the cause. Happily, Erik was offered a chance to promote a Brand and that covered the amount of their donations, nicely. While Erik was busy wowing the crowd by singing the new song he just wrote, Tamela stepped over to the bar and ordered her favorite drink. She must have been a tad bored, because (and I could swear I snapped a photo of it, but can't find it, oh well), suddenly, she had a glass of red wine in both hands! She seemed to quickly finish the one and started in on the next one. Fruit-Juice Anonymous, anyone?

    I think the teen might have a problem. The two headed out after the event was over, but Erik got stopped along the way. Olivia was screaming and basically coming undone, so of course he signed his autograph for her.

    I'm currently using the Slice of Life mod (which is fantastic, by the way) and poor Tamela was dazed +4 from drinking too much. LOL Her cheeks are flushed a bright red and she's not herself at the moment. I sent her to bed.

    In the meantime, three of the male teens are struggling with acne. Erik used a one-time treatment and so far his face hasn't broken out. This is fun. I'm reminded of how a Sim's face would randomly break-out in Sims2. I didn't realize how much I missed this little piece of reality. I'll have to get a picture of Tamela all dolled up. I've found a few new cc hair that I'm quite pleased with.

    Starting off a nice evening with a barbeque...
    oC0v3Cf.png

    ...then disaster strikes.
    Fortunately, no one was hurt.

    The family had another visitor, but not who they were expecting to see. Even Duchess can sense the dark presence.

    "What'd you think you're doing here?"
    "Is that a way to talk to your father?"

    They got into a fight, but it ended in like two seconds.

    "That'll teach you not to mess with the Don of the King Family, boy. You are a disgrace to the family."

    Damien heard the commotion and wasn't happy to see his Dad get beat up.

    "You already had little brats with that human, I see. You've just tainted not only the vampiric bloodline, but also our family line!"
    njaOLaM.png

    "Who're you calling a brat, you old bag?!"
    qbdbFHi.png

    "You don't talk to my family like that! Get out now! I won't hesitate to kill you!"
    "Don't think this is the last time you'll see me, Dylan." With that, Raphael left the neighborhood.

    "Who was that mean guy, Dad?"
    "That's your grandfather, and I never want him to meet you and your sisters."
    "What if he comes back?"
    "Don't worry, you have me, your father, grandmother, and your ancestors to help. We'll make sure nothing bad happens to us."
    "Daaaad, I'm not a baby anymore!"
    "You'll always be my baby."

    Dylan and Damien went back inside to bake some sugar cookies.

    Duchess still treats Simba like a kitten.

    Autumn made a health potion and had Atlas try it out.

    Whoops! The potion caused Atlas to pee himself.

    Later, Atlas had just fed the Cowplant and found Dylan sitting on the lounge chair at the pool area.
    "What's wrong, babe? Had a bad day at work again?"
    "No, it's my dad. He was just here not too long ago and found out about you and our kids."
    "Yikes."
    "I don't know what to do, now that he knows where we are. Maybe we should move out."
    "Dylan, we're going to be fine."
    "How is this fine?"
    "You have me and my family for help. I made a promise to you, back in college, that I'll protect you. Even if it kills me."

    rMZrIBK.png

    "Babe, not out here. I don't want to traumatize our kids again."
    "They're already asleep. When's the last time we got intimate?"
    "Since last year when Calista walked in on us."
    "Well, now we got some chance. It'll be quick."
    "Alright, you win. This time, you need to keep quiet."

    So I was playing with my tech/science oriented sims (who's doing each and every distinguished degrees in anything related to science).

    First thing that happened. I was casually making robots when suddenly, one of my classmates died of electric shock while fiddling with the robotics station. I left the urn in the Foxbury common grounds and made a nice epitaph in memory of this death. So now there is forever going to be an urn remembering people to be careful when building bots lol

    @queenvortex808

    That rots about your WiFi situation. Is there a solution? Or will you never get to use the gallery?

    It's cool that you're still going to play as Anna though!

    How did things go with Joaquin? And holy cow! How did you master all the toddler skills so quickly? The thinking one is a hassle.

    Lol, yes, the mess thing is a nightmare. Forever.

    @FurSimsOfficial

    So, did you play with Zen and her director/lover? It sounds like a blast. I love parties in huge mansions with fake friends 😂

    @Smellincoffee

    I keep paging back through these updates, and loving yours! Now I finally have time to comment.

    I've never heard of bitlife before, it seems entertaining though

    How did you decide which people from that game you wanted to recreate? When you had almost 30 generations to choose from?

    I do really like these 2 though. Your dialogue for Koto with the 2 drinks is great! He really looks like he's saying that 😂 Lol at you forgetting to change him at all in CAS.

    His sister sounds nice, but shy perhaps? Being a novelist should be great for her

    Was Sayuri in your bitlife game too? Cool that she has the skills to bring home the big bucks!

    Koto, what a naughty guy! Becca does not look thrilled at the situation 😄

    I like their new house! That will be fun to build up

    I feel bad that Koto and Becca don't think they'll stay together. Who will the son live with?

    The pasta thing ... leaves me speechless 🤣

    @Willsky

    Goodness, that's kinda sad that they didn't make it. Idk, maybe Nicolas didn't have that much time to spend with her, but I just think people should break up before they start dating someone else. So idk if he should blame himself.

    I hope things are going well for each of them on their separate ways though.

    @DarkAngel1994

    Whoa at Dylan's outfit!! Although Caleb's was highly questionable too lol.

    I always love seeing your Don. He's so cool ... You know.. like gangster cool.

    It looked like a great party!

    Autumn and Ian are going to cause trouble, aren't they? Lol

    I know you have another update, I'll get to it soon, I have to do some horrible real life stuff right now though, like laundry and dishes, lol.

    Hello everyone! Happy Monday! I’m loving everyone’s stories! I’ll have more to time to reply to comments. Anyway, here’s what happened in my game today.
    I’m still hanging out with my alien family, the Fontenots. I’ve spent a little over an in-game week with them. I’m glad because I’ve missed them!
    Everyone had a good night sleep, got up early and were preparing for the day. Toddler Grace woke up yelling at the top of her lungs. She’s a feisty little gal. Clint and Rose wandered in to see what was going on. nk69dhA.png
    She wanted to tell her mom a story about princesses Cq5E9VJ.png
    Gage had already eaten and was heading out the door. Clint was looking forward to an interesting day at work. Apparently there was a new mission detail coming up with his astronaut job j60yJfW.png
    Rose kisses him goodbye as they head off to work C3vFKV5.png
    eMiKpgz.png
    Clint had another hour before he left so he asked his actress sister Vivienne what she had planned for the day.
    I’m auditioning for a new role this afternoon! k5EYtEo.png
    Clint heads off to work, then I get another one of those Get Famous career prompts. Apparently Clint had uncovered a smuggling and embezzlement ring that was going on within the ranks of the space fleet. He could either join in and keep his job and get a bad reputation. Or be the whistleblower and get a little fame. He chose the whistleblower option and turned them over to the authorities. He was fired. Which in reality is extremely illegal. But he was fired anyway. Needless to say, Clint was furious and devastated, although he doesn’t look like it, he was.
    BsTJS32.png
    He decided to try and be productive instead of moping. He banged around on the rocket ship he was building zQTvFh4.png
    It was almost finished BWiisgV.png
    He did some laundry OYlUcF2.png
    He made lunch jdpGWHW.png
    Or tried to lol SZcIXw0.png
    Grace of course was being a holy terror and started making messes everywhere
    And pestering Aunt Viv pas1qCD.png
    Clint found a big mess in the laundry room VTbcpfK.png
    He disciplined her (expressing disappointment) Aff35Ox.png
    She threw a fit OWUniZt.png
    Aunt Viv came over. She could tell something was up with her brother.
    He explains what happened 5T9bsLO.png
    He was worried since he was the prime breadwinner of the family. How are we going to survive?! liTUpAL.png
    Viv had to rally him. “Come on Clint! We’ve survived worse! We’ll get through it. Rose still has a job and I have a gig coming up. Things will turn around!
    kQYKfuv.png
    Clint gives Grace a bath jHgHWHa.png
    Gage gets home from school. Grace runs out to hug her big brother (too cute!!)
    2dU0nKe.png
    Clint asks his son how his day was. Gage thought it was really weird that Dad was home earlier than usual 7YnUGwZ.png
    Rose gets home and she got a promotion! T00lAPw.png
    She changes into something more comfortable. Clint tells her to sit down, he has bad news
    OChKrL8.png
    She’s shocked. She knew how much he loved his career. She knows he’s worried about making ends meet. vI9oY8C.png
    Don’t worry! I just got a promotion! We’ll be fine ZRcrX0u.png
    She tries to cheer him up. Just put yourself back out there. Something will come up. You never know! She does this by punching him in the arm lol vPrhQZI.png
    She explains the situation to Gage and not to worry 55aTXxn.png
    He begs for a new voidcritter booster pack. “Now is not a good time kiddo.”
    xnwh9DC.png
    A little snuggling time uhoNYMf.png
    ljjw29D.png
    Mom reads Grace to sleep VAta2RR.png
    And tucks in Gage for the night qvcacRT.png
    Clint joins her. I absolutely love this shot of them together. ck9jggZ.png
    They head off to bed. Of course Vivienne is up and ready to go so she decides to watch College Cram ipPRx76.png
    She had mixed feelings about the movie lol Xc7BZz7.png
    The next morning, Vivienne helps her nephew with his homework before he heads off to school QmzgPLC.png
    Clint finished his rocket! He heads off on its first space flight fitfSmj.png
    HT9nU1a.png
    He brought back a space coral and a rock. Fun.
    Vivienne got the role! She practices some guitar for her role in a Mad Max type apocalypse flick. Right up her alley!! SXPgYbl.png
    And practices a “fight scene” with her brother 2JI31ec.png
    CCZbGiQ.png
    Meanwhile, Rosie decided to work from home. She had to collect some clippings and examine specimens under the ridiculously huge microscope. They can’t afford a microscope so she would have to head to the Oasis Springs Conservation Center
    1Y0OqeN.png
    She had Clint tag along for fun and company TQkYPcN.png
    She finishes her work on the microscope k4GC2i7.png
    They fish for a bit 96H0aTd.png
    And go for a nature hike jTubdzJ.png
    She was collecting another cutting when she heard Clint calling for her brLRDG5.png
    You would not believe what I found! nQQPDQp.png
    It looks like an abandoned mine! U9UkRoe.png
    They go check it out. UJkt4ef.png
    Clint decides to “he-man” it open eSQz0IL.png
    He got the boards pulled out of the way! Lets go explore v1zfs5F.png
    He dove in, got turned around and came back
    Maybe next time! rO3B4dP.png
    They got back home in time for Gage to get back home from school. His kid sister pestered him while he practiced his typing skills AC3UooF.png
    Grace went missing for a short time. I couldn’t find her! I looked and looked and finally found her running around the house in her pajamas. She did this 3 times. Good grief GRKW010.png
    Clint checked in with his son. Gage was very proud to say his grades were up!
    m3PsUNq.png
    Clint was very happy NyxpABI.png
    And gave Gage a live Red Coral Alien as a pet as a reward. Gage was very excited Sb2cKB0.png
    Aunt Viv ordered pizza, and also invited her costars and the producer over to visit
    QGqxeYx.png
    Aunt Viv is awesome 0gFwewh.png
    pRTzmmu.png
    It was Saturday morning. They all relaxed ready to start the day. Vivienne would be at her acting gig tonite. YmZXwUd.png
    I’m leaving it here because this post got busy!
    Till next time!

    Had some funny things happen: Caleb got abducted by aliens (randomly, I wasn't trying for this)

    vAzLtlz.png

    And Morgan got abducted also, but not by aliens:

    [img][/img]LYOFnxW.png

    And this isn't in sequential order, but Caleb brought her home:

    [img][/img]zIgSLNf.png

    And I don't want to get ahead of myself, but...something happened in the game before I was ready for it to for my story, but I'll probably keep and use these pics, because I never saw an engagement ring GLOW like this! Anyone else?

    awww, the room is so cute! Speaking of cute, so are its inhabitants <3
    Yes, cuteness overload! I'm so in love with how the room turned out :blush:
    Oh, poor Tony :( I'm glad Steve has Thor to talk to now - if nothing else, he has someone (reasonably) sensible to sound off to so he doesn't have to work through it all on his own. That's a good ending - trust and hope <3
    Honestly, Thor is such a lifesaver <3 I even gave him the house keys so now he autonomously pops by for a helpful chat every now and then.
    Thank you!

    @Jase
    I'm enjoying the Stark's in Sulani and can't wait to see the next family member either.
    I can't wait either! :smiley: I downloaded a mod for 9-day pregnancy because it seemed more realistic and it's taking so long...
    I also hope you feel better soon!
    Thank you! The worst is in the past and I'm feeling much better now. :relieved:

    @sarabeth2984
    YAY!! New baby! That was so awesome that Pepper volunteered to be their surrogate mom. And also YAY! The pregnancy is official! I think they are going to make great parents again.
    I know, so exciting! :smiley: Now that they have no restrictions, I bet they will be amazing parents!
    Also, I am in love with your Thor.
    He gets that a lot :smirk: Such a bummer the only thing he'll ever have a relationship with is Sulani itself :D
    And I am so glad that Katrina and her kids are settling in well. Their house is cute!
    They certainly got a much better life in Brindleton Bay :relieved:
    Thank you!

    @RedDestiny92
    oh sure thing, I just love grouping my tots together I wish there was a minor sub category for clubs so you could add tots to it just to quickly connect them to family.
    Ohh, I would totally be up for that! And one for pets too!
    I love how happy Peter was about his extra pocket money.
    And the best part is, he's actually saving up to get Christmas presents for his parents <3
    Thank you!

    @Daephene
    Steve is being so sweet. I'm glad he has Thor for support and to help him see a different perspective. I look forward to meeting the new little one.
    Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing the baby too :relaxed: I'm quite curious to see how the genetics will work out. I'm so tempted to just check how Tony's and Pepper's children would look like through CAS! Which I wont. But very tempting.

    @Becka28
    what a beautiful room design. How I wish I had more room for CC!
    Thank you so much, I'm in love with how it turned out too :relaxed: The trick is to merge CC files together (that can be done very easily using 4Studio) because it's better to have one big file than 100 little ones ;) That way the game will load much faster!
    And lovely to have a glimpse of the old Tony and Steve.
    Little by little, the pieces are falling back together :relieved:
    Thor is the best - love his way of thinking and talking. And poor steve - he shouldn't be so hard on himself - he hung on in a relationship at a point many people would have left - and if he said a few cruel things - well a good many cruel things were said to him.
    I agree that Steve is being too hard on himself sometimes. He's mad at a lot of people for what happened to Tony, including Tony and himself. But Tony is hard to stay mad at and everyone else to blame are far away in Del Sol Valley so the only person left is himself.
    On a lighter note Peter is so cute being proud of his babysitting skills.
    He's such a cutie with toddlers :blush: Can't wait for him to be a big brother <3
    Thank you!

    @AlwaysAsking
    I can't keep up with comments these days 😔 But I love your story as much as ever.
    It's all good, even the shortest comment from you makes me happy <3 Really glad you're enjoying the story! :blush:
    It's so great that Pepper is having a baby for them! And I had been wondering one time about how to choose who the father would be in a surrogate mother situation. I totally get your reasoning. I'd had the same thought. Tony is older, and Steve will want Tony's child if he loses Tony.
    I mean if I could, I'd give them twins! But that's just too much to handle right now :(
    I'm sure Steve will have his chances if it'll be important for him :)
    And this update with the baby's things is so cute. The guys are so happy together. It's fun to see, and then remember the scene with them on the bed in the flashback.
    My favourite scenes of both updates! I just really love beds for storytelling, I don't know why :D
    It will be interesting to see what job Tony can do.
    There's a wild range of possibilities... but I'm gonna go for something boring and practical :tongue:

    "Mele's Sweets n' Coffee!"
    87606382bb58.png

    "Tired from a hard day at work? Annoyed with your petty city relatives who just love to bash your perfectly fine beach hut? Just love sweets, coffee and baking? None of the above? It doesn't matter because this place is perfect for any occasion!"
    bdfe36e80277.png

    "Handled with care by the wonderful Mele Kahananui who just happens to be searching for a certain someone to help out with the customers..."
    593eb13a2fe5.png

    "Well? What do you think?"
    "Sounds pretty nice but..."
    8e3056de28af.png

    "Great! Tony, you with me on this one?"
    Tony nodded. He was open to any job.
    8e461dd24bbe.png

    "Good morning, my dear Mele! A little birdie told me you were hiring!"
    6ba80c04712b.png

    "Good morning Thor," Mele smiled. "A little birdie told you right, I am hiring. Thought I could run a little quiet place on my own, but the customers just wont give me a break! They come for a bag of salt, they stay for a cup of mocha, they leave with sacks of doughnuts..."
    "Well no wonder, this place is the hotspot for all lovers of peace and quiet!"
    "I'm glad you think so Thor. Stop by for a cupcake sometimes!"
    88b94143bb0d.png

    "Ah, you know I'm one of the loud ones, I'll ruin the atmosphere you've got running... But I've got something better" Thor winked. "This wonderful man here is looking for a job!"
    394fd65848a4.png

    "Hmm. I'm intrigued."
    d403bc9770ed.png

    "Is this wonderful man familiar with stocking up shelves?"
    "Of course he is! Aren't you, Tony?"
    "Couldn't be that hard."
    89faca488e3e.png

    "Then congratulations - you've got the job," Mele smiled.
    "Oh uh..." Steve stepped in. "Could we talk, there's a few things you should be aware of..."
    "Goodbye Steve, your husband will do just fine here," Mele laughed. "Now come along Tony, we've got wages to discuss..."
    5b813069ed80.png

    "I'm not sure about this, Thor," Steve whispered as they were leaving. "Working at a shop... cafe... whatever... It requires talking to strangers... Might be too overwhelming for Tony. I mean he only started speaking up to friends and-"
    "Relax, there is no such thing as a stranger in Sulani!" Thor laughed. "Except for tourist season. But that's not till after Christmas."
    a3f63d635c6f.png

    "I'm still worried."
    "Well don't be. You worry too much, Stevie. No one will harm Tony without you around. Not on Sulani."
    "Hope you're right..."
    b98233cbc07e.png
    More under the cut:
    So Tony started working at Mele's Sweets n' Coffee . Five days a week, four hours a day, 33 simoleons per hour. He sorted out the shelves, arranged the displays, cleaned up and sometimes made coffee. Understanding his struggles, Mele took all of the work with customers on herself. Tony was very thankful for that. But honestly, interacting with them wouldn't be such a big deal. The customers of Mele's were mostly the islanders who preferred avoiding the loud and fun bar which was considered the islands hotspot. They read books, quietly discussed baking recipes, ate many pastries and drank a lot of coffee.
    26d48b5b86d5.png

    At first they were surprised with Tony's sudden appearance - they all knew that Steve (who immediately became the islanders favourite for his gentle and not city-like attitude) had a husband but they also knew his husband went through a lot of struggles and didn't like appearing in public much. Even seeing him with Steve was out of the ordinary - seeing him without Steve was as rare as it could get.
    286b36a0231b.png

    But soon everyone got used to him hanging around. They greeted him as he walked in and wished him a nice day as he went out. They complimented his work and never forgot to thank for cleaning up the tables. If Tony was put to making coffee, every cup was considered the best coffee to be ever made. They never expected an answer, but they wanted Tony to know how much they appreciated his brave steps towards overcoming his past. Everyone wanted Tony to feel loved and needed. And it was working.
    fd17cb393f17.png

    As for other news... IT'S A GIRL!
    2c5d18c93a16.png

    Pepper has entered the second trimester and attended an ultrasound scan. The baby was strong and healthy. Pepper herself admitted that this pregnancy was one of her easiest ones yet. As it was always done with surrogate parent in Sulani, she was moved to a special spa resort till the giving birth. It was on the very edge of Sulani Islands so unfortunately Tony and Steve couldn't meet her as much as they wanted to. But she and the baby were in the best hands possible.
    e8c34e9490a6.png

    Besides, it made every time Pepper visited extra special.
    "Oh my god, I can actually feel it kick!"
    "Of course you can, that's what babies do!"
    4c11a5ef0143.png

    "Uh... Can I? Please?.."
    "Of course!"
    a32fb32e5fb9.png

    Tony was very nervous about feeling the baby.
    "But what if I don't feel it? Um... I'm not going to hurt it, right? How do you even do this thing..."
    e7844144ff80.png

    "Calm down honey, it doesn't bite."
    573679149a18.png

    "I feel it... I feel it!"
    Eventually Tony managed to feel the baby kick.
    6f2b02ec2460.png

    "Pa, Dad, it's not even the size of an avocado..."
    e4838e3271fb.png

    "Perhaps you would like to feel the baby?" suggested Pepper.
    "Oh sure thing!"
    161c730373cc.png

    ...Peter felt nothing.
    "I bet it's like a special parent thing," he said.
    "Are you excited to have a little sister?"
    "Totally! But it would be so hilarious actually turned out to be a boy when Pa and Dad already decorated everything for a girl... those ultrasound thingies aren't quite accurate you know..."
    0765d4775005.png

    "We've got to start thinking of a name for the baby..."
    "Millie? Mandy?"
    "MORGAN!" yelled Peter.
    "No!" Tony and Steve said in the same voice.
    "Suit yourself. Boy or girl, it's going to be a Morgan anyway."
    6ed8c182ccf0.png

    As for other news... Tessa passed away. She passed peacefully in her sleep near her favourite toy.
    f5b8c16556db.png

    Of course, that didn't cheer Peter up the slightest.
    74691f3e8d7b.png

    "Peter, you've been up here for nearly six hours..."
    "Go away! I'm not getting out of bed," sobbing, muttered Peter. "And I don't care that I missed school! I don't care about anything anymore!"
    "Peter..."
    372bca940093.png

    "Just go! You don't get it, you'll never undertand! I-I had her ever since I remember m-myself... She was the best dog in the entire universe... And now when life finally became perfect, she's gone!"

    "We understand that you're grieving. It's just that... You don't have to go through this alone."
    "We're here for you, Peter..."
    e1aba4c69318.png

    Peter slowly got out of bed.
    "She was the bestest dog ever," he said, sniffling. "And now she's... she's..."
    814b49013cdd.png

    He broke into tears again, but this time there was Steve to catch him.
    "It's okay, honey," he gently said. "It's okay, just let it all out. Let all of your emotion out. We understand."
    5b739c9e4f9e.png

    "We love you Peter... and we'll always miss Tessa, she was a very special dog..."
    "Can I sleep with you guys tonight?" mumbled Peter.
    "Not even a question..."
    9a815579cd57.png

    Peter sighed.
    "I think there's someone at the door."
    1e5895f5be65.png

    "Peter! Oh Peter!"
    "Yo! Peter's Dad! Peter's second Dad! Someone?"
    e16a59fbb774.png

    "This isn't right. Could there ever be a reason for Peter to miss out on school?" muttered Michelle. "I mean it's his second favourite thing after your movies..."
    f9b67c1b32bf.png

    When Ned and Michelle heard about what happened, they immediately took over the situation.
    "Ever since I remember myself, there was always Tessa around," sighed Peter. "I had her since I was four or something. Pa and Dad got Tessa as soon as they adopted me to help me adjust... We understood each other without words! That's the highest you can get in a relationship! Any relationship!"
    b5d18e8d30c1.png

    "She was always there for me when I felt sad or lonely... And when Pa and Dad were fighting she'd always comfort me... and now everything is perfect but she's gone! It's so unfair!"
    4bb70cda1248.png

    "Maybe she's gone because she fulfilled her purpose, you know?" suggested Ned. "She was there for you when you felt sad but now everything's perfect so you don't need her anymore."
    "Ned, I love you but how in the world is that supposed to make him feel better?" gloomily said Michelle.
    "No, it's an interesting concept..." Peter sighed. "I just want to lie home all day."
    "Don't be stupid!" Ned and Michelle said in one voice. "We're going out!"
    c83c5a84349a.png

    "Aren’t you gonna be jealous?"
    "What, about my baby sister Morgan?"
    b24b48f404aa.png

    "Well yeah," said Ned. "If my parents got another baby I'd flip! And you... I mean you're an only child, you've always had your parents all for yourself! I at least had an older brother..."
    "Nah," Peter smiled. "Pa and Dad got enough love for both of us plus themselves."
    fd97334e2bea.png

    "But you wont be able to have sleepovers with them anymore," nudged him Michelle. "Also, they'll always be busy with the feeding and the napping and the diapers changing..."
    "Look, Morgan isn't going to stay a baby forever," Peter laughed. "And I'll help, so it's going to be family bonding experience!"
    1d1aed3f75b8.png

    "How do you know it's going to be a Morgan?"
    "I just do. Is that weird?"
    "No, it's kinda cool..."
    24d9a36bc7bb.png

    "No, that's not weird," Peter sighed. "It's just sixth sense. But I am weird you know. I didn't have any friends when we lived in Del Sol Valley cause I was weird."
    "No way!" shouted Ned. "But you're so fun to hang out with! I thought you were one of the cool kids!"
    1923bfee91c3.png

    "Yes way," Peter nodded. "Tessa was my only friend and everyone else just made fun of me for the way I talk..."
    "I don't notice anything weird in your talking."
    "Well I am a genius, I can improve you know," Peter smiled. "And I'm not nervous all the time around you, that helps."
    "I bet they were the ones who needed improving, not you."
    Peter laughed.
    fb362452e267.png

    "Don't you miss anything about Del Sol Valley?"
    "Not a thing."
    "But you had literally everything there! You lived in a mansion!"
    "That was cool I guess... I could go a whole day without seeing my parents if I wanted to, that's how big the place was."
    "That's double cool!"
    bff3a4290113.png

    "I mean... I guess I miss ballet."
    "You did ballet!? Oh my god can you show us some moves?"
    "Haha... maybe one day when I'm not wearing jeans!"
    "So you're like what, super flexible?"
    "Dunno..."
    d973cd0c79a2.png

    "So you don't miss anything besides ballet."
    "Nuh uh."
    "And not even being able to wish for literally anything in the world..."
    2859630f33f3.png

    "But I got my wish. If I could wish for anything in the world back then, I'd wish for Pa and Dad to be happy. Now that we moved here, they are happy. They're always hugging and kissing - it's awesome!"
    f3bee8586663.png

    "Dude. You ship your dads like so hard. I think you're their number one fan."
    "Guess I am. Is that weird?"
    fe25e5ee1d2f.png

    "No, but I would NEVER want to know about my parents love life," said Michelle.
    "Me neither! And I hate it when they kiss!" agreed Ned. "Eugh, how could anyone stand that!?"
    f86adcef1b5e.png

    Peter laughed.
    "I get that. I couldn't stand them kissing or even hugging when I was ten or something. Cause "ewww"! But then when it stopped at all and they started fighting and arguing all the time... All I ever wanted was for them to kiss. Because I saw how much it hurt them to be torn apart... I guess I understood how valuable love is. And how easy it is to take it away."
    d6d6b67d70e6.png

    Peter sighed.
    "We take love for granted. We make fun of our parents, we think that we've still got time, that one argument is just one argument, that we can always make up... But sometimes love can be drawn away even from people who love each other the most. So yeah. I'm happy when I see my parents kiss. Or when they're snuggling with each other. Because that means that everything... everything is okay. We're a family. You know? Is... Is that weird?"
    a05f42db98e8.png

    "That's like the most heartfelt thing I've ever heard on the topic of loooove."
    "Yeah, me too. You should be a love guru."
    "How much does a love guru make?"
    "Less than a babysitter, so you'll have to depend on us not to die of hunger..."
    b7b2f2715a21.png

    As the sun began to set, Peter, Michelle and Ned slowly made their way home.
    "Race you to the end of the beach?"
    "But... You're carrying Michelle."
    "Aww, Michie, he thinks he can beat me just because I'm carrying you!"
    "Dude, have you seen her muscles?"
    "Okay, okay, I believe you..."
    8ab8ed0aee73.png

    "Wow. Today morning I thought I'll never go out again and now here we are just having fun as usual."
    "Well that's what friends are for!"
    "I like having friends..."
    "And we love having you as our friend. So! Race ya?"
    "See you at the finish line!!"
    ac216f7841bb.png

    Although Peter felt better, he still slept with his parents that night.
    ec05b8385eee.png

    The next day they made a photo wall of their beloved pets to remind them of the wonderful days they spent together...
    9dd53d4c2637.png

    And a family photo wall. To remind them of the precious moments of life.

    @Koteyka, page 582.
    Poor Peter...losing a pet can be very painful, especially when you've built up a strong friendship with it. I love the photo wall!

    @Nushnushganay a true arteest! Clearly you need to dress him up and try again :D

    And oh my, that is a sparkly, sparkly ring!

    @AlwaysAsking just at the end of part one, either Don's been replaced by a clone or he's actually got something resembling sense in his head! Part two - oh, all the Simself-and-co dramas! Part three, oh man. I feel they're getting to a major tipping point? Either Thorne completely ditches the plan, admits he's in love, and settles in with Don to raise a family, with the knowledge that their relationship started on a melange of manipulation and lies, or he carries it out and completely ruins poor Don. Either way... oof.

    And yup, that was the last update! And yeah, both quite a bit older. Morgyn is 70-ish (I have them born in 1948, they're a baby boomer ;D ) and Raylan is nearing 200 (late 1820s). So they do have a bit of an advantage! Also, Morgyn is Ambitious by nature - they really do want to explore and take part in everything uni life can offer, and knows there's plenty still to life to see.

    @DarkAngel1994 oh jeez, Duchess does look spooked! Wow, Raphael is a 🐸🐸🐸🐸! Glad they could solve things with cookies, heh. Autumn, that's rude! And oh my, let's hope none of the kids look out the window ;D

    @sarabeth2984 man, poor Clint. I still feel he did the right thing, though! Not all whistleblowers just get fired, even when what they reveal is to save people. Just look at poor Chelsea Manning :-\ Glad Rose got that promotion, that should help! Yay for Vivienne! Playing guitar for a Mad Max-type movie? Ooooh is she playing the Doof Warrior? :D

    @Koteyka sounds pretty ideal for Tony, especially if he is mostly doing back-of-house stuff! (Can't lie, though, I am wondering how he's not absolutely dying of heat stroke!) Ohh, poor Peter. Tessa had a really good life, though. I'm glad his friends were able to support him! XD I love Peter being their number one shipper! Awww, the photo wall!! *has warm fuzzies*

    First screenshot today is of Roddy's bedroom:
    01-17-20_1-56-25%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Testing out the new upgrades
    First bed to have an upgrade was Roddy's bed:
    01-17-20_1-58-57%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Then Benjamin and Shine's bed:
    01-17-20_2-00-51%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Then Sophia's bed:
    01-17-20_2-02-53%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Tiffany and Wendy's bed:
    01-17-20_2-05-25%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And finally, Chloe's bed:
    01-17-20_2-06-53%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Benjamin then went into the music room and upgraded the amp:
    01-17-20_2-15-19%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Penny Lacey came over for a visit and hugged Roddy:
    01-17-20_2-34-03%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Penny then decided to prank the presents...
    01-17-20_2-38-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And that's another autonomous action that I've disabled.
    Smooches from Carol Brinson
    Roddy then went over to Carol Brinson's house in Willow Creek:
    01-17-20_3-25-43%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy warmed himself by the fire:
    01-17-20_3-26-22%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And Carol played SimScuffle:
    01-17-20_3-27-10%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Then she went to the toilet, autonomously:
    01-17-20_3-30-10%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Later on, after washing her hands, Carol gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
    01-17-20_3-35-55%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-17-20_3-37-18%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy went bright red and giggled. Carol had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
    01-17-20_3-39-50%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
    01-17-20_3-40-06%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And Carol gave Roddy a big loving hug:
    01-17-20_3-54-00%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Time for a snooze
    Roddy felt quite tired, so he fell asleep in the guest room:
    01-17-20_4-12-57%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Carol then tucked him in:
    01-17-20_4-16-23%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And gave him several big smooches on his face:
    01-17-20_4-17-15%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-17-20_4-17-58%25C2%25A0PM.png
    'Sweet dreams, dearie' Carol whispered:
    01-17-20_4-18-23%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Carol had covered Roddy's face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches. Roddy was having a nice dream:
    01-17-20_4-26-47%25C2%25A0PM.png
    More smooches from Carol
    A few moments later, Roddy woke up, feeling refreshed:
    01-17-20_4-35-52%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy got changed. Carol came in and gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
    01-17-20_5-48-54%25C2%25A0PM.png
    01-17-20_5-49-32%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Roddy went bright red and giggled. Carol had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches yet again:
    01-17-20_5-50-00%25C2%25A0PM.png
    He used a makeup removal wipe:
    01-17-20_5-50-35%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Carol smiled and gave Roddy a big loving hug:
    01-17-20_5-51-10%25C2%25A0PM.png
    Afterwards, Roddy talked to Carol for a while:
    01-17-20_5-51-59%25C2%25A0PM.png
    And then he waved goodbye and went back to Dianthus Hall.

    Yep, Carol went to the toilet even though I had given her the various need related traits and freezing her motives.

    I don't feel well or happy today so just some really quick comments and I will do an update that really isn't part of my main timeline - just an experiment.

    @Nushnushganay I looked at what engagement shots I have currently available and none of them have a ring that looks like it is glowing magically like that! It occasionally has a bright sparkle glint but thats all. So pretty special engagement shots. I haven't had an alien abduction for months - they tend to happen in Alana's save and my drifter save - but not in the Jess save.

    @AlwaysAsking Lorenzo is quite dark - compared to Lawrence, he is nearly right at the end of the second row of skin textures. I often have to lighten my screenshots to see the details (premade houses are so dark and I am too lazy to fix them) so he looks paler than he actually is. I alsoi find babies are often 2 or 3 shades darker than what they age up as - Walter had very brown skin but is now Brock's skin tone.Not sure what happened with Allyson and her boyfriend but it didn't seem like anything I have modded - his mood was just so poor that when she interacted with him it destroyed their green and pink bars. And I have the same experience with sims partners turning up if they are cheating etc - it makes being a serial romantic difficult and didn't go well below either. Sims have great ESP obviously.
    The photobooth is actually just a tripod out the back of a restaurant - I suppose I could actually build one - that would be fun. But the photography upgrade through Moschino is great. I have a non forum sim who is a vampire and playing through the photography career and I am learning a lot about using it.

    Classy - bet it smells great too especially in summer.
    z7sqlAR.png?1
    but it takes nice shots..

    I will be doing a comment on Thorne and Don when I feel better - But yay for Don - looks like he has some hidden depths (or a good memory for Macolm's coaching).

    @sarabeth2984 I hate trhat so many of the fame cards cause your sim to lose their job - secret agent one, astronaut one, business one and a couple of others. I want fame for doing well what my sim does!

    @Koteyka That was such a beautiful and emotional update and made me feel a lot better (even with the sadness of Tessa's passing). I loved Peter interacting with his friends.

    At the end of my last update Cyrus had managed to build up a small pink flirty line with Jessica (again.) He followed her home. I was really concerned he could cause trouble in my game so I created an alternate save to see what would happen...
    0L0eyA6.png?1
    Alternate reality
    I took Jessica and Cyrus to Forgotten Hollow as it has the least number of walkbys (so very little fans) and I thought there would be less chance of Diego turning up - but of course he spawned almost immediately. Jessica was behaving in a manner that concerned both myself and Diego.
    a059p6W.png?1
    He started to make angry sounds and she was like - what's your problem - I'm just standing here flirting with Cyrus.
    B2kusrI.png?1
    and she went right back to it...
    9baszXe.png?1
    while actually trying to flirt with Diego at the same time.
    NSNeKnX.png?1
    what happened next..................
    The world's worst paparazzi was there and he took this shot when nothing was actually happening but ignored anything major, preferring to spectate rather than take photos.
    gHn5By4.png?1
    Jessica decided to kiss Diego
    JujasbF.png?1
    and then went straight back to flirting with Cyrus (who was having a marvellous time.)
    bQwe1xF.png?1
    Hot headed Diego was not impressed......
    X9BLNZB.png?1
    WRcScMz.png?1
    Cyrus took full advantage of the situation..
    I6TVH01.png?1
    It makes me sad the look Diego is giving Jessica :(
    ct6IEAV.png?1
    This was Jessica's solution............
    KmuOWso.png?1

    They went back to Diego's apartment but when they got there their romance line was totally red and there was zero friendship. The way Diego shouted and screamed at Jessica was so horrible I couldn't even screenshot it. And she cried uncontrollably (way worse than ever with Bjorn as this was actually real fighting).

    So I went back into my main save and deleted Cyrus from existence. He is not messing with my favourite couple. And even though he didn't die - I deleted him - he showed up as a ghost and has been calling Jessica for dates. GRRR some sims are impossible. Thankfully the message that his spirit is fading occured and as he doesn't have a grave or urn , its bye bye Cyrus.

    Regular game reality
    I tried to take them on a date (to make me feel better) but work took Diego away (right when he was planning to propose something inappropriate in the maze from the looks of things).
    cN0wijS.png?1
    Tfm27nR.png?1
    CMsffVv.png?1
    So we tried again
    gVVPWQO.png?1
    roZ4n07.png?1
    and this time Jess had to leave (this was before she lost her job)
    - a Black and White engagement party
    Diego lucked out with what the game spun him into...
    AHePQzw.png?1
    Jessica not so much (but I left her in it).
    70n39mF.png?1
    Its cute that Diego just watches Jessica in group gatherings.
    5foZsOp.png?1
    They had a jkiss interaction fail but it looked romantic anyway.
    e8QiwiD.png?1
    And no one had to go to work this time
    Ry5g2zI.png?1

    They met up for dinner the next day (still trying to get the bad images of Cyrus out of my head!!)
    Jessica was sooo excited even though they just went to the burger bar.
    YXb8Cfy.png?1
    Diego had to bribe several paparazzi to leave.
    JEz61je.png?1
    Jade tried to hit on Diego -he was not impressed
    rdrFuCs.png?1
    The waiter couldn't get through the fans to take their order.
    5lhhf6S.png?1
    So they went for a romantic walk along the waterfront (they went back up to lie in the middle of the road to stargaze - sims logic!)
    FujGuv8.png?1
    JIEqPha.png?1

    I have caught up to where Jessica moved house.........
    The last breakfast in the old house
    q69mm4t.png?1
    These two can't believe they have such a nice house at this stage in their life.
    Euo502D.png?1
    Obviously Vlad has not got the memo that Jessica doesn't live here anymore. He hasn't shown up at the new house yet.
    D1gVeDU.png?1

    Braylon moved in with Lilith, but he didn't move far. I moved the Pleasants two houses down from Celina and Damian and next door to Connor, so they'll be able to spend time together often still. :heart: Yet, have a little privacy. Connor had twins, Terri and Mike, with his wife Celeste (Jenna's mom), so Brianna and Jenna have a new brother and sister! They're about two days younger than baby Nick so they'll grow up together.
    No pictures yet since the twins are still babies, and I haven't been to their house since their birth.

    Celina did meet her new baby brother.

    0wxY4pS.png

    Still no luck breeding Tofu and Oscar. I even used catnip. Next time I play, I'm going to move Oscar in at least temporarily to see if that helps. He lives in another household in the neighborhood and I keep having to invite him over. He seems to be making himself at home with Tofu's toys (that she never plays with anyway).

    DaB0xXj.png

    Dawson went on his first date. :heart: I thought it was odd that they were seated at a table with dirty dishes. That would have disgusted me, but Dawson and his date didn't seem to mind.

    za2ER0X.png

    MbOV6y3.png

    He couldn't wait to have his first kiss.

    SwyOnO5.png

    And take some selfies to show his friends.

    TPKF2LR.png

    NwvkH3M.png

    I get the vibe she might break his heart, though. He found out one of her traits is Evil.
