I had two things happen yesterday to Elliott and Kayleigh. They got engaged at sunset and are expecting a baby girl to be named Sophia! Kayleigh hasn't started showing yet but I have a mod that tells me if she's pregnant and what the gender is.

@GraceyManor I used to watch the series The Ghost and Mrs. Muir when I was little. Lots of good memories.
Very nice lighthouse lot.
Your characters look great.
You've got the relationship between them just as persnickety as I remember.
Thanks for the comments about the ball.
I didn't use poses for all those sims. Only a few poses were used on a few sims. Most of the pictures were in-game pictures.
@hellokitty1496 welcome. Congrats on the pregnancy and it seems to be going well.
@Emily4331 I love the pictures of the world you shared. It really does look awesome. It is too big for my laptop and of course, I don't have seasons or pets in and the world requires all EP's according to the documentation.
Glad to see you are still working on CC. That does look like a great vest. Did you make a blouse to put under it?
@Turjan It does look like Mortimer and Latasha are getting along pretty well.
@PHOEBESMOM601 Your sims look terrific.
She-She looks like she could be mischievous.
page 3862
@lisasc360 Great pics of your sim at uni.
I loved the phone call to hubby and son.
Poor Lisa living with slobs!
I'm glad to see you are enjoying your game again and posting.
@meerkattime Thanks so much for the comments. Much appreciated. Sorry so late responding. Busy week for sure!
Sometimes the Fates are undecided and need to ponder a little before bonding two sims.
@Turjan It's great to see pictures of that beautiful world and the sims in it. I appreciate your letting us know about the rendering and the lag.
I might try it on my desktop when I get it set up, but I'm not a city girl in RL so doubt I'd enjoy it as much as I enjoy the more rural or small town worlds. Sounds like it would be a great destination place for sure. I definitely saw one sim in the pictures I would want to snag for my bin!
@king_of_simcity7 Pretty fall pictures in RH and congrats to Shelley!
Lola is truly part of the 'me' generation with the lack of work ethic and wanting all handed to them on a silver platter...otherwords government support.
@Evalen Wow...heartrending for David to explain to Nakita! Awesome that they are accepting both with a warm welcome.
@Brandontaylor I enjoyed the update. Nice that they considered it the honeymoon they didn't have.
It really is funny how the game picks the winner of the spar sessions even with one sim having higher athletics and martial arts, that chance spin must be quite high. Victor lost to Adam quite a bit and Adam loses to Marshall a lot as well. haha at the headline, yep, I'm not good at those or book titles either.
lol at them transforming and eating like wolves.
poor Fawn! Yes, you would think she would be used to it. I kinda get ticked when Wisteria, Alice, or Jennifer freak with the transformation. Once Adam freaked when Marshall transformed because he was so tired. Really EA? I could have figured that should be coded so another werewolf doesn't freak at a transformation.
@DeafSimmer Loved the pony update. It does seem like Discord was trying to provoke her. Great sister sticking up for her. Awww, they made up.
@GraceyManor The place is certainly in bad shape.
I'm enjoying the exchanges between the two of them.
page 3863
@GraceyManor lol at the exchange between Claymore and Jonathan over the treasure. smart kid!
The treasure hunt was cute and I hope all the stuff got fixed.
@Emily4331 The apartment looks nice, but tiny.
It looks like a fun date! Yep, the perfect outfit for bowling.
@MoonandStars83 Sorry to hear about the hospital stay and surgery.
That looks like a nice big lot.
@PHOEBESMOM601 Candy, the Captain, and Claudia sure look like an interesting family to play.
@DeafSimmer Discord does look buff!
lol at the convo between him and daughter and pranks.
I love Dragon Valley. Great story start.
@AbellaKellaher Long time no see! I'm sorry about the health issues and pray the improvement continues. You've been missed and glad to see you back.
Love the work you put into the resort. It's awesome.
I love that you are using the period outfits.
note to self, start page 3864
I spent some time yesterday working on the desktop to try and get it set up to play on. I'm still adding and testing mods. I'm using Linda Rogers in Moonlight Falls and her fairy child Sophie. Sorry, for some reason her cute pink wings didn't render in this picture. I have not added any cc to the game yet. I've put all my nraas mods in and started adding some of the other behavior mods that I can't play without.
This is Jeff Brogdon who is a genie and he has been living in Linda's attic unbeknownst to her. He is not an EA sim, created by me. Yeah, I like muscles!
Close up on Jeff. Yep, I got a thing for long-haired, dark-haired, blue-eyed dudes with facial and chest hair. As @emorrill would say...Rawrrr!! They will be having children and a Granny and Granpa will move in as well since I plan to test all cc before adding it to the permanent files. I'm trying to be very organized this time and they will be my tester family. It is amazing how fast CAS loads without all the cc, or perhaps it is the better desktop? I dunno which. I've already installed about half of my patterns and need to work on the other half.
@bekkasan Lola is of the selfie/ instragram/ Tik Tok generation. They have always been around but the last few years you cannot get away from them with their Tik Tok videos flying around all over the place.
@bekkasan Lola is of the selfie/ instragram/ Tik Tok generation. They have always been around but the last few years you cannot get away from them with their Tik Tok videos flying around all over the place.
I never even heard of tik tok till a couple of weeks ago.
@AbellaKellaher Your lot looks gorgeous! Sorry to hear about the health issues but I'm glad you're getting better.
@Brandontaylor It's not easy to be a grandfather if it means you have to wake up at 2 am to make breakfast for your grandchildren. He is taking his responsibilities seriously .
The ladylike shoes combined with the werewolfy eating manners look like a funny combination.
Ouch, the bot is a bit too sensitive and antsy .
@GraceyManor I thought the Captain had a pretty entertaining story. He wants to be the hero!
I wonder when Carolyn will find out what he did.
@Kesminlix I don't play in SV but it sure seems like that particular group of families is trouble.
@DeafSimmer Good for Zelda for stopping the bad guy, even if it is temporary.
bummer about the crash. You could still go into an earlier save and put them in the bin from there.
@Brandontaylor I found out with Adam and Marshall werewolves sitting at the barstools will eat normally.
Poor Eric getting shocked again.
I love the pics of the festival. Lol at the hearts, but yeah, she won't cheat.
Thank you!
The King delivers another brief speech and invites everyone to enjoy their meal.
Merry snags the only table with two chairs and seats his dancing companion with him. He hopes to find out about her as dancing did not allow them to talk.
She plucks her napkin from the table and fiddles with it nervously as she faces her dancing partner across the table. She had hoped to be seated with some of the teens as they would not have made her nearly this nervous. She glances up at him as he tells her, "My name is Merry. What is your name?
"I'm Charlotte Grace."
"You have a beautiful name. Where have you been my whole life?" he asks.
She looks surprised at the way he worded his question and he is smiling flirtatiously at her again. It was much easier when they were dancing. All she had to do was smile back at him. She is thinking to herself and has no clue how to respond.
' Oh, criminy! I knew coming to the ball was a bad idea. I'm not cut ought for this kind of flirting. He is looking at me expectantly. How do I answer this? Should I tell him where I'm from? Yes, that is the best I can do. If I don't say anything I will just look like a complete dweeb. He's so cute and has the prettiest laughing eyes and he thinks I have a beautiful name.'
She sighs, gathers her thoughts, and answers his question probably more seriously then he anticipated.
"I grew up in Roaring Heights. My parents were professors and had jobs at the nearby university." He looks interested and nods at her to continue. "I'm an only child as my parents traveled quite a bit before settling down in Roaring Heights. I was a late in life baby for them. They both passed from this life while exploring abroad and were caught in a cave in while I was at university."
Merry looks solemn. "I'm so sorry you lost them so young in your life."
"Thank you. They were good parents and raised me to be independent. I finished university and my degree. I decided to travel and took temporary teaching jobs as I moved around the world. I wanted to visit the Realm, our historical home. I'd heard so much about it and applied for a position here. Luckily the elementary teacher was retiring, and I was hired." She couldn't think of anything else to say, so she turned the conversation back to him. "What about you? Tell me about yourself?"
Merry shrugs. " I grew up here in Roswyn. My family has lived here for centuries, so this is home. I left to attend university and planned to travel and work in the science field but, returned home to help my family during a crisis. I did some traveling when things settled down, but, I always seem to be drawn back here."
"Is your family here tonight?"
"Yes, my father is King Aagda and my mother is Queen Naida."
She looked startled. "Oh, you are Prince Merry. Why didn't you say so from the beginning? You should not let me monopolize you. I'm certain you should have been at one of the royal tables."
Merry grins his incorrigible grin at her. "I'm exactly where I wanted to be. I had Minister Daryl switch the place cards. I'm sure you would have been bored to tears sitting next to Minister Warren. He's absolutely a stickler for protocol and pomp. I hope you are not bored sitting with me."
Charlotte looks even more flustered from his obvious attention as she is not used to flirting as she has always been incredibly shy and not sociable at all. Her parents were old fashioned and kept her close to home. She spent most of her time growing up with her parents' adult friends whose children had already grown and gone. Her life since their death has revolved around studying, reading books, teaching children, and meeting their parents.
Merry senses that he has made her uncomfortable. He starts talking about the band members and how they grew up together in Roswyn to allow her time to relax. She laughs and relaxes as he describes the fun and mischief they got into during their early years. Before long the meal is over and Merry asks if she would like to dance with him. She nods yes and he takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor.
The elaborate meal is over, so is the band's break. The band performs several of their most popular hits and the guests gather round singing and dancing along with the band. Flame and Flash begin one of their choreographed duets, and the energetic crowd responds enthusiastically.
After the duet Flame picks up her guitar and softly strums as she humbly thanks the King and Queen for allowing them to celebrate Adam's joyous homecoming. She thanks the audience for the warm welcome home. "I hope to see each of you wandering around town over the next few weeks. We plan on being here for a month or so working on some new music for the next album and tour. As you know my stage name is Flame but my friends call me Alexis."
Flash strums his guitar softly as Flame makes his introduction. " Flash is my singing partner. He grew up here as well and is better known to many of you as Vince." Several of the audience members whistle and clap loudly, sighing at Flash's good looks hoping to catch his eye while they are in town.
Ash strikes a pose just as Flame makes his introduction. "Ash, otherwise known as the jester as well as Glen."
Keeping a slow, soft rhythm with his drums, Fury acknowledges the introduction with a flourish. "Fury grew up here with all of us and is better known as Dean. He and Merry kept us all on our toes with their mischief." She grins over at Merry who is grinning back.
"On keyboard and vocals is Jet, known in the neighborhood as Melanie. We have a few more songs for you to enjoy before calling it a night."
After dancing a few more times Prince Merry notices that Grace is looking flushed and warm. "Are you ok?"
"I'm feeling a bit hot."
"Let me walk you to the alcove and see if there is a breeze."
They walk to the alcove and it is much cooler with a lovely breeze blowing in from the ocean. "Thank you, you should go back inside and enjoy the music. I'll be fine out here."
"I can hear the music just fine. I'd rather be with you if that's ok?"
Grace smiles shyly. "Yes, are you sure?"
"Absolutely!" Merry escorts her to the bench, and they sit down and chat. Merry realizes Grace does not know just how beautiful and alluring she is. She is not at all like others that he has dated. He doesn't understand why he feels so strongly about Grace, but he also knows he cannot flirt and carry on with her like he would other women. She is as skittish as a kitten in a room full of dogs. He makes a decision to stop the flirting and treat her as a friend. They discuss many subjects as they sit in the alcove and Merry finds that he is not the least bit bored with Charlotte's company. She is very intelligent and is not afraid to speak her mind and differ with him on opinions. He loves that she does not defer to him because of his parentage.
He hears Flame call out the last song. "Time to cuddle up with your partner." They play a long intro to give everyone time to return to the dance floor.
He asks Charlotte if she would dance the last dance with him. She takes his hand and nods happily. As they walk together hand in hand back to the dance floor, she is thinking to herself.
'What a wonderful night this turned out to be. As much as I didn't want to come, I'm very happy Daria pushed me into agreeing. I will treasure the memory of the perfect ball and a handsome and attentive young man dancing with me and making the night special.
Back inside one young couple had been dancing the previous song in each other's arms. They seemed to forget that everyone could see the obvious change in their relationship. They only had eyes for each other.
Nickolas spots his daughter and Kaifindar dancing cheek to cheek. With a thunderous look, he starts to move across the dance floor. Anastasia grabs his shoulder holding him back. "Don't you dare charge across the floor without thinking this through. They are in full company of a room full of people and are doing nothing wrong. They've known each other since they were in diapers and this is the first time I bet either have felt anything remotely romantic about each other. You will embarrass your daughter and I won't let you do that. You would regret it, but once done it cannot be undone."
Nickolas takes a couple of deep breaths. "I had hoped she would not be interested in boys for another 20 or 30 years." He takes another few deep breaths. "I guess you need to have that talk with her. Thank you for stopping me from making a fool out of myself. Briana would hate me more than she already does."
Anastasia hugs him and laughs softly. "Sweetie, she doesn't hate you. She's is asserting her need for independence which you are doing your best to stop. You two are like oil and water right now. It will all work out. Besides, I had that talk with her and Bran two years ago. I will give her a refresher though if it makes you feel better. Let's go dance, and don't dance us next to them so you can glare at poor Kaifindar."
3001 pictures on imgur now, lol. L4u Rn is practicing her logic skill because she will outlive everyone most likely. She can tutor future generations as well as being a butler bot.
Most everyone was up by 4 in the morning so they ate breakfast together like usual. Abigail had already finished eating so she was off getting ready for school.
Abby decided to join L4u Rn at the chess table. Since Grandpa Eric had read her the toddler books, she started out at level 3 logic.
Fawn, who actually turned 89 and not 90, decided to play her guitar for one of the last times. When she passes, one of the triplets will inherit it.
L4u Rn harvested the money trees, bringing in almost $3000.
I was off with another of my Sims when I decided to check in with Eric. I was too late to stop him from setting his wife on fire! Needless to say, she was not happy with him and yelled at him. Luckily it didn't hurt their relationship any or we would have had a problem.
Dwight and Melanie did a little bit of fighting training as werewolves, then went around looking for collectibles.
Tired of hunting, Melanie decided to work on her book outside. The neighbors probably wonder how she has a floating computer when they don't.
Fawn decided to play guitar in her nightgown so Melanie joined her, although she wore her everyday instead.
Ariana started work on her painting skill. She isn't guaranteed to be the heir yet, but I want them to learn a variety of skills like they were chosen.
Dwight lost his game and came home in a bad mood. Two of the triplets were finishing up their homework so he just read a book before everyone went to bed.
***No update for tomorrow, catching up on other things today and then will do more work on my upcoming Sinclair story. I think I'm going to slightly rethink how I'm doing it. I'm going to try and get my Sims where I left off and go from there. May be a few continuity errors in my photo's but it will be a continuation of the prequel instead of a rehash. I'll share here, and also post on the thread it was originally posted on.
@Silverofdreams30 They did, although they didn't have as much time there as they would have liked.
Great job on Julia!
@HillyBeth Congrats on the engagement, pregnancy and birth!
Awww, she's such a cute toddler.
The parents look great as well!
@bekkasan I just love the looks of the vacation worlds, there are many more trips to China and the others coming up soon.
Yeah, she had enough time for one or two. Next time, she may get more done.
Thanks, they deserved some time for themselves. I also liked it because I didn't have 8 Sims to take care of, lol
I know, you'd think the better Sim would win but I guess that's not always the case even in real life.
Yeah, it's a bit hard to come up with them. Sometimes I just pick random things I make up but oftentimes use what pops up.
I love how they eat when in wolf form.
You'd think. I wonder if it was due to the triplets for Fawn, she hadn't seen them transform before.
I think they should have, they shouldn't be afraid of each other.
Thanks for the comments!
Nice pictures from your save, and nice job on Jeff!
That's good to know about the stools.
Lol, it stinks that she keeps shocking Eric. He did manage to upgrade her later though.
Thanks, I'm enjoying having the festivals back. I can't wait for winter as I like the options for fun it brings. And yeah, she won't cheat, don't want to mess with the faithful moodlet.
You're welcome.
Looks like your recent update will be good, judging by the pictures. I'm not quite there yet but will be reading a full page in a bit. Just warning you in advance that I'll be commenting.
@meerkattime Lol, he does. Two reasons he gets up early is he is in bed by 9 pm and also he has a great bed.
Yeah, it is pretty funny to see her that way. I think running in shoes like that would hurt.
She is, he's only trying to get her to her top level but shocking him interrupts it.
Thanks for the comments!
@PHOEBESMOM601 Lol, got to have a lot of families in a soap opera. I should know, I watch Days of Our Lives even though some people may think a straight male wouldn't watch it.
Didn't realize the little car and charging station were free on the Sims Store. I ended up getting a lot of the items that you can get for free. I've got 7 Simpoints left but the cheapest thing is 8 simpoints.
@HillyBeth I think I have that mod. It works great.
****She's a cutie!
@bekkasan I'm all healed up now. Unless I go poking at my scar. Then it's a little tender.
****It's such a roomy lot. I'm super proud of it!
****I also have a set of mods I can't live without. I think most, if not all, mod users do. I also need to sort through my CC again.
****A modern (literal) fairytale. I love it!
I started a brand new save to make the needed changes for my lot submission to MTS. Hopefully I did better this time. The Sim I'm playing is Meryl Gordon, another Sim I think was created by @CravenLestat. For some reason I always have a DBPF that attaches itself to my uploads, even with no CC. Luckily I know how to fix that in a .package file.
I just started loading a video to YouTube. It'll be ready in 2 or 3 hours. It is Episode 33 Part A. I stopped in the middle of the story as it had already gone on for about 25 minutes and it was obviously going to be over an hour long and take me a few more days to finish. So I thought you may as well be watching the first part of it now and not have a video that runs for an hour or more to try to find time to watch. I chose the point to break it at by the length of the video. It was close to 30 minutes.
In this video we see the household grow with a couple of new members and they are all working towards gaining skills, completing their lifetime wishes and getting as many lifetime happiness points as possible. This is to give you some background on them for when they turn up in Moonlight Falls because once they have made the move we won't be playing their household again, but will be seeing them. I plan to take members of this household and merge them with the Perfect Genetics household from time to time. They won't become permanent members of the Perfect Genetics household and will be returned to their own homes after a while.
Since there are so many of them in the household now they will probably end up starting new households, and be scattered around Moonlight Falls. I want to move Gary in with Donna and they will have their own family together so they'll need room for that to happen.
I'll let you know when the video is up and ready to watch.
Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days. I just wasn't inspired to continue with my legacy save and make more screenshots where next to nothing particularly interesting happened, at least in my opinion at that time.
First replies to comments as I'm already at least 3 pages behind. If I miss anybody, I'm really sorry. I appreciate all comments!
@GraceyManor Yep. I just started not getting a pregnancy jingle on a couple of saves now, so the first signs of pregnancy (nauseous from unknown causes and soreness) surprised me the next day.
@Brandontaylor Yeah, I was going to make it Eric with a 'C' but decided to make it different this time.
@bekkasan Haha! I know, right?! Never knew Grimmy was Neat. Who woulda thunk? And thanks for the congrats on the babies!
Now, onto the update with my Legacy save!
First up, Emily in the playpen and learning the Abacus.
I decided to have Connie make some Key Lime Pie, so everybody wanted some that night.
Here are Erik and Emily after Eric aged up. They are getting to know each other here in the playpen.
That night, Alaina and Bethany returned again at different times.
Then, Christopher came back.
Here's when I decided to change Erik's hairstyle to something I like better.
Now, he's learning the Peg Box with Connie and then later Alfonzo (Grandpa and Grandma).
I did end up deciding to try for a 3rd pregnancy. This time, I didn't get a jingle but didn't have them try again right away .. just in case I happened to just miss hearing it.
Christopher came back again while Emily was working with the Abacus again in the playpen. (I just love the playpen for the most part.) He'd possessed one of the small plants in the room.
Here, you'll see Christopher and Alaina both around at the same time. Christopher was quite happy to see his wife again, but Alaina just was too focused on reading her book to notice him. Poor thing.
The next day, I discovered that Delilah really was pregnant since she started getting the symptoms again. I decided to have her do a little painting while I waited for her to discover it herself.
I decided to have Connie and Alfonzo have a day out at the park together. They met and talked to a few people and hung out on the swings.
Then, I was surprised to find that Alfonzo could push his wife on her swing! I'd never seen that before! I was so excited, I immediately had him do it. I thought only a parent could push a child on those!
Later, Emily aged up into this dress and hairstyle. I decided to change both of them.
After that, I figured I'd have her learn the Dancing skill via the ballet bar.
Later that night, Bethany came back and wanted to do the same thing.
Time for Delilah's third and final birth!
It's another boy I'm calling Elias.
This is Erik playing with the blocks.
Emily decided she wanted to learn how to fish, so I sent her out with both of her parents to the closest fishing spot to start learning.
She went right next to her mom and they started chatting. (I just love that!)
Well, that's it for tonight! If I'm up for it, I'll get back to this tomorrow, but we'll see.
Well, I'm back to square one.
Went to play with the Montoyas and it crashed after barely 2 minutes of gameplay.
Blogger completely changed its look so I have to relearn to use it again, or switch and put my stories here (which is going to make sharing the screenshots harder) or on the blogs on the sims website. Or I'll have to find an entirely new website. Which I really don't want to.
Anyway, I haven't downloaded anything new except the beach stuff from ATS3. I did add a resort lot in AP though to fill in the lot my sims bought in my journey moving another sim in and couldn't figure out how to resell it. I'm going to dig through my packages to try to remove the ATS3 Carousel Music Box which throws errors even though I haven't placed it anywhere again. I might have to do a fresh start with them (unfortunately without my cc my house and sims will have to be redesigned.)
Any suggestions?
Also can someone pm me a walkthrough on how to get to nvidia panel for the fps limiter. Or whatever it is. I'm not good at computers, I just play the games. LOL
So far, work on my Sinclair story has been going well. I have recreated 3 or 4 characters, didn't have to do much to Ava other than some edits to outfits. I plan on working some more on creating characters and then working on edits to previous updates. If you want, I'll share the link here again once edits are done but for now, I need a bit of help from all of you.
Does anyone know of a CC hair that is close to this EP/SP hair? I don't have the one it comes from anymore but was hoping there would be something similar to this one. If anyone does know, let me know. I'll do some searching myself but if all else fails, I'll replace the pictures I need to for the story.
@bekkasan I'm sure there are accessory shirts out that there for the more modest sims.
I like small apartments. They're cozy.
I never knew how much I wanted to see a fairy band until your post.

@Brandontaylor Nice pics of the china trip. That is funny the game had them fight each other.
That is nice she got to have an adventure while there.
@thuggishsplicer Glad to see you and hope you stay safe!
@GraceyManor I used to watch the series The Ghost and Mrs. Muir when I was little. Lots of good memories.
Very nice lighthouse lot.
Your characters look great.

@carlystur03 Congrats on all the new babies.
@Karritz Great pictures of the family.
@Emily4331 I love the pictures of the world you shared. It really does look awesome. It is too big for my laptop and of course, I don't have seasons or pets in and the world requires all EP's according to the documentation.
Glad to see you are still working on CC. That does look like a great vest. Did you make a blouse to put under it?
@Turjan It does look like Mortimer and Latasha are getting along pretty well.
@PHOEBESMOM601 Your sims look terrific.
She-She looks like she could be mischievous.

@lisasc360 Great pics of your sim at uni.
I loved the phone call to hubby and son.
Poor Lisa living with slobs!
I'm glad to see you are enjoying your game again and posting.
@meerkattime Thanks so much for the comments. Much appreciated. Sorry so late responding. Busy week for sure!
Sometimes the Fates are undecided and need to ponder a little before bonding two sims.
@Turjan It's great to see pictures of that beautiful world and the sims in it. I appreciate your letting us know about the rendering and the lag.
I might try it on my desktop when I get it set up, but I'm not a city girl in RL so doubt I'd enjoy it as much as I enjoy the more rural or small town worlds. Sounds like it would be a great destination place for sure. I definitely saw one sim in the pictures I would want to snag for my bin!
@king_of_simcity7 Pretty fall pictures in RH and congrats to Shelley!
Lola is truly part of the 'me' generation with the lack of work ethic and wanting all handed to them on a silver platter...otherwords government support.
@Gamer43251 Cute pics of the bots.
@carlystur03 Congrats on the new baby boy!
@Evalen Wow...heartrending for David to explain to Nakita! Awesome that they are accepting both with a warm welcome.
@Brandontaylor I enjoyed the update. Nice that they considered it the honeymoon they didn't have.
It really is funny how the game picks the winner of the spar sessions even with one sim having higher athletics and martial arts, that chance spin must be quite high. Victor lost to Adam quite a bit and Adam loses to Marshall a lot as well. haha at the headline, yep, I'm not good at those or book titles either.
lol at them transforming and eating like wolves.
poor Fawn! Yes, you would think she would be used to it. I kinda get ticked when Wisteria, Alice, or Jennifer freak with the transformation. Once Adam freaked when Marshall transformed because he was so tired. Really EA? I could have figured that should be coded so another werewolf doesn't freak at a transformation.
@DeafSimmer Loved the pony update. It does seem like Discord was trying to provoke her. Great sister sticking up for her. Awww, they made up.
@GraceyManor The place is certainly in bad shape.
I'm enjoying the exchanges between the two of them.
page 3863
@GraceyManor lol at the exchange between Claymore and Jonathan over the treasure. smart kid!
The treasure hunt was cute and I hope all the stuff got fixed.
@Emily4331 The apartment looks nice, but tiny.
It looks like a fun date! Yep, the perfect outfit for bowling.
@MoonandStars83 Sorry to hear about the hospital stay and surgery.
That looks like a nice big lot.
@Karritz Great pic of the family.
@Silverofdreams30 Bummer about the teen witch save.
@PHOEBESMOM601 Candy, the Captain, and Claudia sure look like an interesting family to play.
@DeafSimmer Discord does look buff!
lol at the convo between him and daughter and pranks.
I love Dragon Valley. Great story start.
@AbellaKellaher Long time no see! I'm sorry about the health issues and pray the improvement continues. You've been missed and glad to see you back.
Love the work you put into the resort. It's awesome.
I love that you are using the period outfits.
note to self, start page 3864
I spent some time yesterday working on the desktop to try and get it set up to play on. I'm still adding and testing mods. I'm using Linda Rogers in Moonlight Falls and her fairy child Sophie. Sorry, for some reason her cute pink wings didn't render in this picture. I have not added any cc to the game yet. I've put all my nraas mods in and started adding some of the other behavior mods that I can't play without.
This is Jeff Brogdon who is a genie and he has been living in Linda's attic unbeknownst to her. He is not an EA sim, created by me. Yeah, I like muscles!
Close up on Jeff. Yep, I got a thing for long-haired, dark-haired, blue-eyed dudes with facial and chest hair. As @emorrill would say...Rawrrr!! They will be having children and a Granny and Granpa will move in as well since I plan to test all cc before adding it to the permanent files. I'm trying to be very organized this time and they will be my tester family. It is amazing how fast CAS loads without all the cc, or perhaps it is the better desktop? I dunno which. I've already installed about half of my patterns and need to work on the other half.

I never even heard of tik tok till a couple of weeks ago.

@Brandontaylor It's not easy to be a grandfather if it means you have to wake up at 2 am to make breakfast for your grandchildren. He is taking his responsibilities seriously
The ladylike shoes combined with the werewolfy eating manners look like a funny combination.
Ouch, the bot is a bit too sensitive and antsy
@Alexciel & @Lucy_Henley Hope you have fun with Barnacle Bay
Page 3864
@AbellaKellaher That was nice of you to share the build.
@GraceyManor I thought the Captain had a pretty entertaining story. He wants to be the hero!
I wonder when Carolyn will find out what he did.
@Kesminlix I don't play in SV but it sure seems like that particular group of families is trouble.
@DeafSimmer Good for Zelda for stopping the bad guy, even if it is temporary.
bummer about the crash. You could still go into an earlier save and put them in the bin from there.
@king_of_simcity7 that hair is gorgeous.
@Brandontaylor I found out with Adam and Marshall werewolves sitting at the barstools will eat normally.
Poor Eric getting shocked again.
I love the pics of the festival. Lol at the hearts, but yeah, she won't cheat.
Thank you!
@MoonandStars83 Thanks
@Alexciel Congrats on the bug getting the world.

@king_of_simcity7 Pretty new sim with your new hair.
@Silverofdreams30 Thank you.
@HillyBeth Congrats to your sims.
caught up.

@Silverofdreams30 That hair is also one of my favorites that I use for Stacy

P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
There's more families I haven't introduced yet. This is a soap opera you know.
Midnight Hollow, The Ballan Family
Adam's Quest
The King delivers another brief speech and invites everyone to enjoy their meal.
Merry snags the only table with two chairs and seats his dancing companion with him. He hopes to find out about her as dancing did not allow them to talk.
She plucks her napkin from the table and fiddles with it nervously as she faces her dancing partner across the table. She had hoped to be seated with some of the teens as they would not have made her nearly this nervous. She glances up at him as he tells her, "My name is Merry. What is your name?
"I'm Charlotte Grace."
"You have a beautiful name. Where have you been my whole life?" he asks.
She looks surprised at the way he worded his question and he is smiling flirtatiously at her again. It was much easier when they were dancing. All she had to do was smile back at him. She is thinking to herself and has no clue how to respond.
' Oh, criminy! I knew coming to the ball was a bad idea. I'm not cut ought for this kind of flirting. He is looking at me expectantly. How do I answer this? Should I tell him where I'm from? Yes, that is the best I can do. If I don't say anything I will just look like a complete dweeb. He's so cute and has the prettiest laughing eyes and he thinks I have a beautiful name.'
She sighs, gathers her thoughts, and answers his question probably more seriously then he anticipated.
"I grew up in Roaring Heights. My parents were professors and had jobs at the nearby university." He looks interested and nods at her to continue. "I'm an only child as my parents traveled quite a bit before settling down in Roaring Heights. I was a late in life baby for them. They both passed from this life while exploring abroad and were caught in a cave in while I was at university."
Merry looks solemn. "I'm so sorry you lost them so young in your life."
"Thank you. They were good parents and raised me to be independent. I finished university and my degree. I decided to travel and took temporary teaching jobs as I moved around the world. I wanted to visit the Realm, our historical home. I'd heard so much about it and applied for a position here. Luckily the elementary teacher was retiring, and I was hired." She couldn't think of anything else to say, so she turned the conversation back to him. "What about you? Tell me about yourself?"
Merry shrugs. " I grew up here in Roswyn. My family has lived here for centuries, so this is home. I left to attend university and planned to travel and work in the science field but, returned home to help my family during a crisis. I did some traveling when things settled down, but, I always seem to be drawn back here."
"Is your family here tonight?"
"Yes, my father is King Aagda and my mother is Queen Naida."
She looked startled. "Oh, you are Prince Merry. Why didn't you say so from the beginning? You should not let me monopolize you. I'm certain you should have been at one of the royal tables."
Merry grins his incorrigible grin at her. "I'm exactly where I wanted to be. I had Minister Daryl switch the place cards. I'm sure you would have been bored to tears sitting next to Minister Warren. He's absolutely a stickler for protocol and pomp. I hope you are not bored sitting with me."
Charlotte looks even more flustered from his obvious attention as she is not used to flirting as she has always been incredibly shy and not sociable at all. Her parents were old fashioned and kept her close to home. She spent most of her time growing up with her parents' adult friends whose children had already grown and gone. Her life since their death has revolved around studying, reading books, teaching children, and meeting their parents.
Merry senses that he has made her uncomfortable. He starts talking about the band members and how they grew up together in Roswyn to allow her time to relax. She laughs and relaxes as he describes the fun and mischief they got into during their early years. Before long the meal is over and Merry asks if she would like to dance with him. She nods yes and he takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor.
The elaborate meal is over, so is the band's break. The band performs several of their most popular hits and the guests gather round singing and dancing along with the band. Flame and Flash begin one of their choreographed duets, and the energetic crowd responds enthusiastically.
After the duet Flame picks up her guitar and softly strums as she humbly thanks the King and Queen for allowing them to celebrate Adam's joyous homecoming. She thanks the audience for the warm welcome home. "I hope to see each of you wandering around town over the next few weeks. We plan on being here for a month or so working on some new music for the next album and tour. As you know my stage name is Flame but my friends call me Alexis."
Flash strums his guitar softly as Flame makes his introduction. " Flash is my singing partner. He grew up here as well and is better known to many of you as Vince." Several of the audience members whistle and clap loudly, sighing at Flash's good looks hoping to catch his eye while they are in town.
Ash strikes a pose just as Flame makes his introduction. "Ash, otherwise known as the jester as well as Glen."
Keeping a slow, soft rhythm with his drums, Fury acknowledges the introduction with a flourish. "Fury grew up here with all of us and is better known as Dean. He and Merry kept us all on our toes with their mischief." She grins over at Merry who is grinning back.
"On keyboard and vocals is Jet, known in the neighborhood as Melanie. We have a few more songs for you to enjoy before calling it a night."
After dancing a few more times Prince Merry notices that Grace is looking flushed and warm. "Are you ok?"
"I'm feeling a bit hot."
"Let me walk you to the alcove and see if there is a breeze."
They walk to the alcove and it is much cooler with a lovely breeze blowing in from the ocean. "Thank you, you should go back inside and enjoy the music. I'll be fine out here."
"I can hear the music just fine. I'd rather be with you if that's ok?"
Grace smiles shyly. "Yes, are you sure?"
"Absolutely!" Merry escorts her to the bench, and they sit down and chat. Merry realizes Grace does not know just how beautiful and alluring she is. She is not at all like others that he has dated. He doesn't understand why he feels so strongly about Grace, but he also knows he cannot flirt and carry on with her like he would other women. She is as skittish as a kitten in a room full of dogs. He makes a decision to stop the flirting and treat her as a friend. They discuss many subjects as they sit in the alcove and Merry finds that he is not the least bit bored with Charlotte's company. She is very intelligent and is not afraid to speak her mind and differ with him on opinions. He loves that she does not defer to him because of his parentage.
He hears Flame call out the last song. "Time to cuddle up with your partner." They play a long intro to give everyone time to return to the dance floor.
He asks Charlotte if she would dance the last dance with him. She takes his hand and nods happily. As they walk together hand in hand back to the dance floor, she is thinking to herself.
'What a wonderful night this turned out to be. As much as I didn't want to come, I'm very happy Daria pushed me into agreeing. I will treasure the memory of the perfect ball and a handsome and attentive young man dancing with me and making the night special.
Back inside one young couple had been dancing the previous song in each other's arms. They seemed to forget that everyone could see the obvious change in their relationship. They only had eyes for each other.
Nickolas spots his daughter and Kaifindar dancing cheek to cheek. With a thunderous look, he starts to move across the dance floor. Anastasia grabs his shoulder holding him back. "Don't you dare charge across the floor without thinking this through. They are in full company of a room full of people and are doing nothing wrong. They've known each other since they were in diapers and this is the first time I bet either have felt anything remotely romantic about each other. You will embarrass your daughter and I won't let you do that. You would regret it, but once done it cannot be undone."
Nickolas takes a couple of deep breaths. "I had hoped she would not be interested in boys for another 20 or 30 years." He takes another few deep breaths. "I guess you need to have that talk with her. Thank you for stopping me from making a fool out of myself. Briana would hate me more than she already does."
Anastasia hugs him and laughs softly. "Sweetie, she doesn't hate you. She's is asserting her need for independence which you are doing your best to stop. You two are like oil and water right now. It will all work out. Besides, I had that talk with her and Bran two years ago. I will give her a refresher though if it makes you feel better. Let's go dance, and don't dance us next to them so you can glare at poor Kaifindar."
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
3001 pictures on imgur now, lol. L4u Rn is practicing her logic skill because she will outlive everyone most likely. She can tutor future generations as well as being a butler bot.
Most everyone was up by 4 in the morning so they ate breakfast together like usual. Abigail had already finished eating so she was off getting ready for school.
Abby decided to join L4u Rn at the chess table. Since Grandpa Eric had read her the toddler books, she started out at level 3 logic.
Fawn, who actually turned 89 and not 90, decided to play her guitar for one of the last times. When she passes, one of the triplets will inherit it.
L4u Rn harvested the money trees, bringing in almost $3000.
I was off with another of my Sims when I decided to check in with Eric. I was too late to stop him from setting his wife on fire! Needless to say, she was not happy with him and yelled at him. Luckily it didn't hurt their relationship any or we would have had a problem.
Dwight and Melanie did a little bit of fighting training as werewolves, then went around looking for collectibles.
Tired of hunting, Melanie decided to work on her book outside. The neighbors probably wonder how she has a floating computer when they don't.
Fawn decided to play guitar in her nightgown so Melanie joined her, although she wore her everyday instead.
Ariana started work on her painting skill. She isn't guaranteed to be the heir yet, but I want them to learn a variety of skills like they were chosen.
Dwight lost his game and came home in a bad mood. Two of the triplets were finishing up their homework so he just read a book before everyone went to bed.
***No update for tomorrow, catching up on other things today and then will do more work on my upcoming Sinclair story. I think I'm going to slightly rethink how I'm doing it. I'm going to try and get my Sims where I left off and go from there. May be a few continuity errors in my photo's but it will be a continuation of the prequel instead of a rehash. I'll share here, and also post on the thread it was originally posted on.
@MoonandStars83 I got a lot of experience from my Ultimate Sim save. I kind of am trying to play all the lifestates I have eventually.
@DeafSimmer You're welcome.
@Alexciel Wow, hadn't heard of that glitch.
@Lucy_Henley Yeah, sometimes you got to limit the FPS.
Page 3865
@king_of_simcity7 You're welcome.
Great job on Abi!
@Silverofdreams30 They did, although they didn't have as much time there as they would have liked.
Great job on Julia!
@HillyBeth Congrats on the engagement, pregnancy and birth!
Awww, she's such a cute toddler.
The parents look great as well!
@bekkasan I just love the looks of the vacation worlds, there are many more trips to China and the others coming up soon.
Yeah, she had enough time for one or two. Next time, she may get more done.
Thanks, they deserved some time for themselves. I also liked it because I didn't have 8 Sims to take care of, lol
I know, you'd think the better Sim would win but I guess that's not always the case even in real life.
Yeah, it's a bit hard to come up with them. Sometimes I just pick random things I make up but oftentimes use what pops up.
I love how they eat when in wolf form.
You'd think. I wonder if it was due to the triplets for Fawn, she hadn't seen them transform before.
I think they should have, they shouldn't be afraid of each other.
Thanks for the comments!
Nice pictures from your save, and nice job on Jeff!
That's good to know about the stools.
Lol, it stinks that she keeps shocking Eric. He did manage to upgrade her later though.
Thanks, I'm enjoying having the festivals back. I can't wait for winter as I like the options for fun it brings. And yeah, she won't cheat, don't want to mess with the faithful moodlet.
You're welcome.
Looks like your recent update will be good, judging by the pictures. I'm not quite there yet but will be reading a full page in a bit. Just warning you in advance that I'll be commenting.
@meerkattime Lol, he does. Two reasons he gets up early is he is in bed by 9 pm and also he has a great bed.
Yeah, it is pretty funny to see her that way. I think running in shoes like that would hurt.
She is, he's only trying to get her to her top level but shocking him interrupts it.
Thanks for the comments!
@PHOEBESMOM601 Lol, got to have a lot of families in a soap opera. I should know, I watch Days of Our Lives even though some people may think a straight male wouldn't watch it.
@Lucy_Henley The FPS thing was why I had to get rid of SP with my old computer. It would overclock and stall out.
@king_of_simcity7 Your Sims looks great!
@HillyBeth I think I have that mod. It works great.
****She's a cutie!
@bekkasan I'm all healed up now. Unless I go poking at my scar. Then it's a little tender.
****It's such a roomy lot. I'm super proud of it!
****I also have a set of mods I can't live without. I think most, if not all, mod users do. I also need to sort through my CC again.
****A modern (literal) fairytale. I love it!
@Silverofdreams30 She looks great!
@Brandontaylor Eric is lucky his wife didn't slap him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I started a brand new save to make the needed changes for my lot submission to MTS. Hopefully I did better this time. The Sim I'm playing is Meryl Gordon, another Sim I think was created by @CravenLestat. For some reason I always have a DBPF that attaches itself to my uploads, even with no CC. Luckily I know how to fix that in a .package file.
Still loving everyone's updates! Until tomorrow!

My Blog // Click me if you dare.
I just started loading a video to YouTube. It'll be ready in 2 or 3 hours. It is Episode 33 Part A. I stopped in the middle of the story as it had already gone on for about 25 minutes and it was obviously going to be over an hour long and take me a few more days to finish. So I thought you may as well be watching the first part of it now and not have a video that runs for an hour or more to try to find time to watch. I chose the point to break it at by the length of the video. It was close to 30 minutes.
In this video we see the household grow with a couple of new members and they are all working towards gaining skills, completing their lifetime wishes and getting as many lifetime happiness points as possible. This is to give you some background on them for when they turn up in Moonlight Falls because once they have made the move we won't be playing their household again, but will be seeing them. I plan to take members of this household and merge them with the Perfect Genetics household from time to time. They won't become permanent members of the Perfect Genetics household and will be returned to their own homes after a while.
Since there are so many of them in the household now they will probably end up starting new households, and be scattered around Moonlight Falls. I want to move Gary in with Donna and they will have their own family together so they'll need room for that to happen.
I'll let you know when the video is up and ready to watch.
Happy Simming

First replies to comments as I'm already at least 3 pages behind. If I miss anybody, I'm really sorry. I appreciate all comments!
@GraceyManor Yep. I just started not getting a pregnancy jingle on a couple of saves now, so the first signs of pregnancy (nauseous from unknown causes and soreness) surprised me the next day.
@Brandontaylor Yeah, I was going to make it Eric with a 'C' but decided to make it different this time.
@MoonandStars83 Hello! And thanks!
@bekkasan Haha! I know, right?! Never knew Grimmy was Neat. Who woulda thunk?
Now, onto the update with my Legacy save!
First up, Emily in the playpen and learning the Abacus.
I decided to have Connie make some Key Lime Pie, so everybody wanted some that night.
Here are Erik and Emily after Eric aged up. They are getting to know each other here in the playpen.
That night, Alaina and Bethany returned again at different times.
Then, Christopher came back.
Here's when I decided to change Erik's hairstyle to something I like better.
Now, he's learning the Peg Box with Connie and then later Alfonzo (Grandpa and Grandma).
I did end up deciding to try for a 3rd pregnancy. This time, I didn't get a jingle but didn't have them try again right away .. just in case I happened to just miss hearing it.
Christopher came back again while Emily was working with the Abacus again in the playpen. (I just love the playpen for the most part.) He'd possessed one of the small plants in the room.
Here, you'll see Christopher and Alaina both around at the same time. Christopher was quite happy to see his wife again, but Alaina just was too focused on reading her book to notice him. Poor thing.
The next day, I discovered that Delilah really was pregnant since she started getting the symptoms again. I decided to have her do a little painting while I waited for her to discover it herself.
I decided to have Connie and Alfonzo have a day out at the park together. They met and talked to a few people and hung out on the swings.
Then, I was surprised to find that Alfonzo could push his wife on her swing! I'd never seen that before! I was so excited, I immediately had him do it. I thought only a parent could push a child on those!
Later, Emily aged up into this dress and hairstyle. I decided to change both of them.
After that, I figured I'd have her learn the Dancing skill via the ballet bar.
Later that night, Bethany came back and wanted to do the same thing.
Time for Delilah's third and final birth!
It's another boy I'm calling Elias.
This is Erik playing with the blocks.
Emily decided she wanted to learn how to fish, so I sent her out with both of her parents to the closest fishing spot to start learning.
She went right next to her mom and they started chatting. (I just love that!)
Well, that's it for tonight! If I'm up for it, I'll get back to this tomorrow, but we'll see.
Went to play with the Montoyas and it crashed after barely 2 minutes of gameplay.
Blogger completely changed its look so I have to relearn to use it again, or switch and put my stories here (which is going to make sharing the screenshots harder) or on the blogs on the sims website. Or I'll have to find an entirely new website. Which I really don't want to.
Anyway, I haven't downloaded anything new except the beach stuff from ATS3. I did add a resort lot in AP though to fill in the lot my sims bought in my journey moving another sim in and couldn't figure out how to resell it. I'm going to dig through my packages to try to remove the ATS3 Carousel Music Box which throws errors even though I haven't placed it anywhere again. I might have to do a fresh start with them (unfortunately without my cc my house and sims will have to be redesigned.)
Any suggestions?
Also can someone pm me a walkthrough on how to get to nvidia panel for the fps limiter. Or whatever it is. I'm not good at computers, I just play the games. LOL
Hoping to complete the Brunch at the Old Mill set for CYS. 16 items left.

Does anyone know of a CC hair that is close to this EP/SP hair? I don't have the one it comes from anymore but was hoping there would be something similar to this one. If anyone does know, let me know. I'll do some searching myself but if all else fails, I'll replace the pictures I need to for the story.
I like small apartments. They're cozy.
I never knew how much I wanted to see a fairy band until your post.
