Elementals are any sim with the Sulani Mana Trait
All Occults can have a ghost form that can use their occult powers.
Island Elementals, or ghosts summoned by sims with the Child of the Islands trait, have the unique Sulani Mana trait.
Turning Island Elementals mortal is the only way to get the trait without cheats, and a sim must have the Child of the Islands trait.
But, it does scare me...
Merfolk-Alien-Elemental
Oh, the bugs I might encounter if that happened.
Aliens are particularly weird because pure aliens can only come from male pregnancy or a pregnancy between two pure aliens. So, mermen being the male sex of merfolk... I really did not like seeing Dylan and Zephyr dropping whatever they were doing to use the observatory I gave them, especially Zeph, given his traits...
Fortunately, I don’t play with ghosts or vampires, so I can eliminate those, but I might have to put off getting a spell caster until I breed out the alien and merfolk out of my sims! I don’t know anything about Elementals, so I don’t think I’m at risk of that... yet 😏.
Jade got abducted by aliens an hour after arriving home with Rey! And while I was playing today, Xen got abducted (I like to think his parents were getting him back for a reunion because he came back exhilerated!). He couldn’t get pregnant though because there is no room in the household. After experiencing the problems with hybrids, I feel for you and I hope your sims don’t get alien babies!
Before I was posting here, I bought the game when Island Living came out. Naturally, my sim was a merman at the time. This was one of my Dylan Zalrians. Anyways, he became a three star celebrity and must've met an Alien at the bar when I didn't lnow about the special bar nights... It could have been that bug when get to Work Came Out and sims were getting abducted unusually frequently... Honestly, I really can't remember what triggered it, but he ended up getting abducted nightly. Them Aliens must've really wanted a B-lister to play music at their parties. Lol. He never came home pregnant. I look back and imagine him rocking with his guitar and singing songs during an interstellar gig.
The Sulani Mana trait is the trait that makes a Sim an Elemental. It's not possible to encounter a sim with this trait without first having a sim with the Child of the Island's trait, and even then, the sims that appear when summoned are ghosts. It's a process to make the elementals mortal and "Try for Baby."
Outside the in-game route, you can use cheats or download a sim from the gallery that can pass on the trait. The trait itself isn't a typical life state like being a Merperson, Alien, Spellcaster, or Vampire. So, it is compatible with all life states.
The catch is that the trait can only be acquired via "Try for Baby" in game. A sim created in CAS by playing with genetics will not have the trait.
Sulani Mana is a hidden trait that does require a bit more effort if you want to do it without cheating. The reward is decent.
Elemental Abilities
Elementals can pass judgement on Children of the Island, granting powerful moodlets:
Sad (Connection Denied and their tears will create a puddle that makes sims in the area uncomfortable.)
Playful (Makes your sim likable and improves social interactions)
Flirty (I forget the specific perk)
Confident (It grants career success by increasing the chance of a promotion).
Summon Lava Bombs (Acquire collectables like Metals, Crystals, Fossils, and Geodes. Gain a unique landscaping decoration. Lava Bombs can start fires.)
Gift of Sulani (Upgrade the quality of a plant by one level. Makes perfect quality plants and income from high value plants much easier.)
The Child Life Stage can use these abilities.
Teens and up can pass judgement.
Abilities are only limited by a cool down timer and the presence of a judgement moodlet.
If you don't summon the Island Elementals in their ghost form or download a mortal elemental from the gallery, you will never see an Elemental in your game.
Dylan and Zephyr, my main sims are in the gallery and they are guaranteed to pass on the Sulani Mana Trait. However, as long as they are mermen, there's a 50% chance that their children will be merfolk if they have a kid with a Human Sim. Merfolk can control the weather, and the ability to call a rainstorm after summoning a lava bomb is a handy combo. Rainstorms can help save time managing large gardens too.
@Metior_Ice I wasn't able to explore much of Sulani yet... Just the beaches and the WooHoo waterfall... Maybe in the next season of my story And it's funny how even Judith Ward who is both a "Seasoned Thespian" and a "Global Superstar" sometimes wears the blue rabbit costume in the studio
Reality Kings Season 2-Episode 10
Manuel celebrated the New Year's Eve with his family.
He attended the awards night with Mick and Ramon. However, none of them won an award. The woman in blue sitting beside Ramon is Lisa, the mother of Candy and Yuki Behr. She is also a "Seasoned Thespian" and a "Global Superstar" just like Judith Ward. She's the actress who gave Manuel an autographed photo back in early Season 1. Now, Manuel's being shy to ask her if she remembers him.
Jordan was visited by his official girlfriend who saw in his newly-renovated bedroom a photo of him with another girl (Holly, the daughter of Tomax Collete. remember?) taken during one Romance Festival. This enraged her and made her break up with Jordan.
Jordan wasn't really bothered because he didn't really think his relationship with her will last long. He just worked out and practiced yoga for the rest of the night.
The following day, he spent time in a cafe in Windenburg (I can't remember which cafe this is) with his celebrity friends Manuel, Mick, and Erik after attending the Drama Club meeting.
Then the four of them went to the karaoke bar near Manuel's new house. Jordan did his homework outside while Manuel was singing for the karaoke contest which was won by a random townie. Manuel's singing skill was only at Level 6 that time. There were some fans there asking for Manuel's autograph, and Manuel is nice enough to give what they're asking for.
Manuel has built both his guitar and singing skills so well that he's now confident enough to sing and play guitar in public. This further boosted his fame. Now he's considering becoming a singer-actor.
He went home to take a shower, and then he was supposed to sleep before he was surprised to see Summer in his bedroom. Of course, she has the key to Manuel's house. He serenaded her in his sleepwear.
Determined to win an acting award, Manuel auditioned for another acting gig, and successfully got the role.
He had to build his Fitness skill and practice action scenes, so he worked out in Skye Fitness gym with his friends. He also practiced action scenes with Mick and Jordan there.
He also had to build his guitar skill, so he hurriedly went to Summer's house without even changing out of his Athletic outfit. He sang and played guitar for Summer and serenaded her in her bedroom. They also ate together.
Show spoiler to see how Manuel's acting gig went.
It was hot in Del Sol Valley, so Manuel had to wear his Hot Weather outfit. He teleported to the makeup room to practice acting and be styled, and then he got into costume. (I personally didn't like what that makeup artist did to Manuel's hair!) Then he told the director he's ready.
He's working with Judith Ward again (and a random townie), and his scenes went well.
He got promoted to "Rising Star," so he's now a "Rising Star" with a "Rising Star" celebrity status.
And he was nominated for an acting award!
He went to Planet Honey Pop! that night with his half-brothers. He also called Summer to come, and when she arrived, he stopped singing at once...
...to greet her with a kiss.
He serenaded her there, and the other people hearing him sing and play guitar were pleased with his talent.
Manuel went home with Summer. He was already sleepy, but Summer wasn't. So he slept while Summer was doing something on his computer.
@Metior_Ice I wasn't able to explore much of Sulani yet... Just the beaches and the WooHoo waterfall... Maybe in the next season of my story And it's funny how even Judith Ward who is both a "Seasoned Thespian" and a "Global Superstar" sometimes wears the blue rabbit costume in the studio
I feel like I'm missing out.
For Dylan and Zeph, I plan to:
Enjoy the outdoors and do stuff with outdoors retreat
Go to university
Become scientists
Become doctors
Become actors
and the future has more possibilities.
I played as a scientist that investigated strangerville, inventing a sim ray with a freeze ray function was so satisfying when an angry general came to my sims door for snooping around the lab. For a second there, I thought your sim was going to incinerate his friend. Top notch acting. I want one of my mersims to play as the Alien-fish-guy.
Sulani has tons of hidden elements to it. I think they spent a lot of time hiding everything you can do in plain sight. Almost all the neighborhoods have various water vehicles that can be used for fun or fishing, but Sulani has a festival every single day of the week that isn't advertised.
The beach cave and dive spots are fun in their own way, but they are rabbit holes. Waiting for your sim to surface isn't much better than a loading screen with less to do.
@Becka28 I honestly laughed when I read the bit about Lincoln attracting Caleb so much he got attacked five times "And they went home together as a happily unmarried couple" - ha! I love how happy and optimistic they were about the situation And poor Elsa Bjergsen, oh my. She ages up bald in my game quite often as well!
@Lucy_Henley aww, "Ginger Child Spellcasters" sounds adorable! They're so cute together Oh, next updates, ageing up! I'm going to miss them as kids but they look gorgeous as teens
@Daravi the old quarter build looks gorgeous and very realistic, I love it Regarding your historical updates - oh nooo, poor kids I'm glad Hedwig feels more alive now that she found someone she sees as adoring. Hopefully WIlhelm wasn't too hard on her!
@Daephene I really enjoyed reading you vampire family update. I actually used to always make Wolfgang munch a vampire in my game before, I don't know why but it just suits him Cornelius is such a character, so many negative traits! It makes him really stand out though. And aww, he still loves his grandmas! I love how he stops and does a maniac laugh during playing the pipe organ, is so hilarious
I think I missed something - everyone is congratulating you about writing a book? - What have I missed? (I hate being so far behind...) That sounds wonderful. I so enjoy what you write here (and I so hope you make a movie some day because the way you combine camera angles, colour, imagery and suggested soundtrack are so beautiful - reading your threads make me sob at the emotionality and art of them - even when they are are happy posts.
It was kind of a little bit of a misphrasing on my part, I actually meant I'm illustrating a book for my friend We're still debating on the whole publishing thing, seeing as it's revolving around LBGTQ+ characters and that immediately gets slapped with an 18+ here in Russia. If it even gets published at all. But it's one of the best love stories I have ever read (and I'm not saying that because the author is my friend, we actually became friends after I read it ). She's a simmer just like me and she got the idea for the plot while she was playing the sims 3. She had a teenage boy in the family and another teenage boy living next door was constantly getting bullied and beaten up. So she decided to make her sim stand up for him and later got them together. A couple of months later she decided to take their story and write a novel based on it - it's amazing how this game can make people discover their talents!
But thank you for your kind words, they're incredibly uplifting I'll probably get to writing my own book in a few months but currently I'm just practicing and experimenting with different genres
@BlueSeaWaves thank you for your comments on my story!
Wow, Ianto definitely is a genius if he's able to talk like that at two!
I haven't really thought that through yet but actually either most of their talk was telepathic, either that's just how he remembers it In my universe vampires are much more animal-ish then usually expected, they don't use much words for talking.
I don't have Vampires as they've never particularly interested me, I never really played as them in Sims 2 or 3.
I never played Sims 2 but I remember them being very dull in the Sims3 so i get that, yeah
The teleportation stuff would freak me out, and I'm mid-twenties! He seems pretty calm about it though. He's such an interesting character!
Ianto saw flying chickens in Sulani (Halloween update), he doesn't question anything anymore
Thank you!
I've seen moodlets about how sometimes ornaments and stuff can be a bit wonky? (Usually embarrassed moodlets, haha.) Maybe it was that?
Hmm, maybe it could've! I remember Gwen getting a sad moodlet about ruined ornaments but it appeared afterwards. I thought it was quite funny But I love that their tree top turned out that way, it's so realistic.
Ooh yes I was hoping to see Caleb again but that was sooner than expected! Also honey don't creep around in toddlers' rooms XD 'Unimportant', that's rude!
He didn't mean to, he was just looking for Harry
Your Caleb seems really... sincere, I think? Like Ianto says there's a monster, then there's a monster.
Yeah, he's like that. He also doesn't really look at Ianto like at a child because technically any human is like a child to him. So he takes everything very seriously. And... Ianto does actually have a monster under the bed
Ooof, that soul thing sounds rough Poor baby. Lilith? Oh no, poor Caleb ;_;
Yeaah, Caleb got it pretty tough
I wonder why he's being sent to Harry? Is it because of Harry himself or because of Remus? (Like there's always vampire-werewolf conflicts and stuff.)
A bit of both
Thank you!
@Daephene thank you! Yeah, Caleb and Ianto go together pretty well
I love how you seamlessly weave the supernatural elements into your story along with the mundane everyday type of gameplay. One reason I don’t do supernatural type characters is because I can’t seem to figure out how to make them seem plausible in my story. I mean, I just can’t see Omar being friends with Caleb the vampire and how that would even work, but you do it so well.
That's really great to know, thank you! I couldn't really imagine Peter, for instance, being friends with Caleb, or honestly even Thor But Ianto just works really well with supernatural themes.
"Ooh look at that! Mr Stark, can we have that in the show? Can we, can we?"
"It would be so awesomeee! Can we, mr Stark?"
"Mr Stark, why can't I play Rudolph..."
"Nooo, Ron, you got it all wrong! Why can't you remember your lines?"
"Because you're distracting meee! Mr Lupin, why can't I play someone else? Hermione is annoying!"
"But why mr Stark!? Why can't Goyle be a reindeer like us? That's not fair!!"
"Hehe... this is harder then I thought..."
So my father and Remus Lupin were in charge of the organising "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" into a play with the youngest students. And as all things related to 3-4 year olds, it was failing miserably.
More under the cut:
"Alright. Draco, Vincent... Seriously. Gregory is perfectly happy as an elf and we need more elves!" Peter smiled.
"Well why can't Neville play the elf, he's fat like one!" shouted Draco.
"Because... he doesn't want to.
"And he's convinced he's playing Rudolph."
"Mr Lupin, are you sure I can't play Rudolph?.."
"Anyway, Gregory is happy at his role! Look how nicely he's getting along with Rhi!"
"Hi, I'm Gregory!"
"Hi, I'm Rhi! Are we gonna be elves together?"
"I think!"
"Yeah but he's OUR friend! Tel him, Crabbe!"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, okay. Draco, Vincent... it's just a play. Just a play, okay? Now go get ready, we're rehearsing soon."
"Wait till my father hears about this!"
Peter sighed.
"Er... Remus, a little bit help?.."
"Sorry, those two are on you, I better go see what's happening with Hermione and Ron..."
"That's it! I'm not playing with you anymore!" Hermione howled. "You're mean!"
"No, you're mean! And bossy! And I don't like you!"
"That's enough children, stop your fighting, we're going to start rehearsing soon..."
"But Dad, I want the lead role!"
"Ianto, you're not even in school yet!" So technically I wasn't in school, but at the same time I was. See, my father got assigned to the youngest preschool class and since Rhi was going there, obviously I was supposed to as well. Usually I wasn't eager about the activities, but this was different. I invited Caleb to the play.
"Ianto, for the last time! I'm not giving you the lead role! You're too young and Harry was voted for it anyway!"
"How dare you! I'm your SON!"
"Ianto, I'm not going to favorite you just because you're my son... And you really should call me mr Stark around here so the other kids don't feel jealous." Dad would often tell us to call him mr Stark at school. He thought it'd make the other kids jealous. Don't know if it helped, but I for one made sure that my children can always call me dad if they want to.
"Okay, look.. you won't even be able to remember the lines. And we've only got a week to rehearse this play! So not this time, okay buddy?" He had me for a moment there. I didn't know what to reply. So I had to retreat to plan B.
"Please... Daddy... I wanna be in the plaaaaay..."
Always worked like a charm.
"Okay, okay, just please stop crying!"
"You want to be in the play?"
"U-huh."
"Alright then!"
"I think I have just the role for you..."
A tree. He made me a TREE.
And I told Caled I was playing lead role.
I was mad, I was incredibly mad. And because I was lucky, there were two people I could be mad at.
"Why is he even talking to Rhiannon?"
"She's sooo stupid..."
Vincent Crabbe and Draco Malfoy.
"She should be friends with Neville, not Goyle!"
Ooooh, I hated those two.
"I bet she's in love with him!"
One thing everyone should know - never mess with the people I love. NEVER.
"Hey you! Stop being mean to my sister!"
"Um. Who ever are you, mr tree?"
"I'm Ianto and I don't like you saying mean things about her!"
"Well that's too bad 'cause she's stupid-"
"Grrrr..."
Now for the record- they had a point. Gregory Goyle wasn't the best friend Rhi could make and the fact that she didn't realise that made her a little stupid indeed. But no one dared say anything bad about a person I held dear - they might've as well considered themselves dead.
"Aaaah!"
Well. Unless they couldn't die. Caleb isn't the only creature I know who can't die.
"Mmm..."
"MR STAAARK!"
(Okay I don't know what it is about Draco, I know he's supposed to be the "bully" but he makes the cutest expressions )
"Ianto! How many times have I told you - we do NOT tolerate violence in this school, it might go on your record!"
"My record? Dad, I'm not even a part of this school... And you're taking his side? I'm YOUR SON!"
"Ianto! You can't go around biting people!"
"But he said mean things-"
"I'm sure he didn't say anything that would make you resort to violence."
My dad is actually a genius. Even though he doesn't use his genius skills and works in a school. But despite all of his geniusness in math or science, he also happened to be insanely stupid. Because he never learnt from his mistakes. He was bullied in school EXACTLY because he never stood up for himself. Rhi was the same way - well I didn't want her to end up like him.
"You know even know what he said but you take his side anyway! UNGGGGHHH! I hate you!"
"Ianto wait..."
"Now can I play Rudolph?"
I was mad. I was incredibly mad. But not mad enough to not notice another tree. Looks like I wasn't the only one placed in the shameful outfit of theatre outcasts.
"Hello... What are you doing here?"
At first I didn't even know whether it was a girl or a boy. Whoever it was, they smiled at me.
"I'm looking for Wrackspurts. Have you seen them?"
"Unfortunately no, but I have seen flying chickens, Sulani spirits, vampires and whatever mr Lupin is."
"It's okay, I haven't seen them either. But I think there might be a few in here!"
"Well if I see one, I'll make sure to tell you..."
"I'm Ianto. Hey look, we're both trees, yay?.."
"I'm Luna. Yes, it's wonderful that we're both trees. That way the Blibbering Humdingers won't be able to find us." Luna was the first, yet not last girl I completely fell in love with who's name began with an L. She was extraordinary. And our friendship began with a tree.
And so it came - the day of the play.
I don't really remember how it went but I'm sure that as with any toddlers, it all went horribly wrong.
The way Dad remembers, we were all constantly forgetting our lines and singing out of tune and he was worried he'd get fired. Which he didn't - we had a very peculiar headmaster to say the least.
We do have a lot of pictures of Rhi as an elf from the play though.
Not so much of me - I was busy making angry eyes at Draco.
Besides, I was just a tree. There wasn't must I could do except dance when everyone dances and sing when everyone sang. And even then I barely moved or opened my mouth. I couldn't care less about the play - I was waiting.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come."
"You don't even know who I'm waiting for..."
"No, but you certainly are. And I'm sure he'll come. You shouldn't worry."
"Thanks Luna..."
"There he is!" We had a window in our roof. Ventilation purposes, I suppose - the stage room had no normal windows. It had a perfect view on the stage.
And of course that's where Caleb went. Because he came. I invited him and he actually came to see the play.
I waved at him - in my own way, of course. I was already a Star Trek fan by then.
I'm not sure he quite understood my gesture.
But he smiled a bit.
And that was enough.
I was glad Caleb came. So glad I might've been the only one honestly smiling during the final bow. Which is rather unusual for me.
"Stop pushing me!"
"No you stop pushing me!"
"Harry, do you think we did good?"
"I don't know, I forgot everything I had to say..."
"I still think Goyle should've been a reindeer, not a stupid elf."
"I liked being an elf..."
It was fun. And so was the party afterwards. But that wasn't really what I was there for.
"Did you like the play?"
"I did. It was... colorful."
"I'm sorry I lied."
"You lied?"
"Yeah, about being the lead role."
"But... you were the lead role."
"No I wasn't, I was just a tree! I didn't even talk much!"
"When others spoke, they spoke alone. When you spoke, even very quietly - everyone spoke with you. When other moved, they moved alone. When you moved, even just a little bit - everyone moved with you. You were the lead role."
"Huh! That does make sense! Well, guess I did play the most important role then!"
I smiled at him and he smiled at me. That made me feel that perhaps we might be friends. So I decided to ask a personal question.
"Why do you need Harry?"
I remember how that made him frown immediately.
"Can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Bad thing."
"You want to do a bad thing to Harry?"
"Take him away."
"What for? What did he do to you?"
"Nothing. Remus Lupin did. This is... revenge." The more he talked, the more puzzled I became. There was something very wrong with Remus Lupin, sure. What did it have to do with him?
"You don't look like the revenge type. What did Remus Lupin do?"
Caleb shrugged. The two of us looked into the distance.
"I... I don't want to," he then quietly said. "I don't want to take Harry away."
"Why are they making you? You're the nice one. Can't they do it on their own?"
He sighed.
"Because of my soul... I don't need to be invited. So I'm the only one who can do it. But I... I don't want to."
"When I don't want to do something... I just don't. And I don't care what others say. I just don't. You should try that sometime."
Caleb looked at me and smiled gently.
And then he left.
I sighed, watching him go. Who was Remus Lupin and what did he have to do with Caleb's family?
The plants also evolved and looked even more bizarre.
"Stupid plants," Keith cursed and kicked the nearby plant without second thought, causing particles to spread. He sneezed when it got on his face.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Jaxon shouted. "You don't just go around and kick those things!"
"And let these parasites grow all over the place like it's nothing?!" Keith snapped.
Cian tried to calm his boyfriend down the best he can.
Iris pulled Tristan aside to have a quick chat.
"Tristan, what were you thinking? You could've got yourself or the others hurt," Iris scolded. "Why couldn't you just listen to what Madam Swan told you?"
"We came back in one piece, along with a survivor," Tristan said, inclining to Elliot. "I also saw another door, but it was blocked by this purple dust. Luckily, Jaxon showed up before I can go through."
Iris sighed heavily. "Why must you always put yourself in danger?"
"Hey, I know what I'm doing," Tristan remarked.
"No you don't!" Iris shouted, causing everyone to shut up. "This isn't all fun and games! What you're doing is going to kill you if you're not careful! "
Tristan looked at her in disbelief. "You're on Cian's side, right? You think I'm crazy and what I'm doing could possibly be too dangerous. Is that what I'm getting?"
"Tristan, I'm not taking no one's side," Iris said.
"Yeah right," Tristan grumbled, and they hadn't said a word to each other as they head back home.
"You sure you're alright, love?" Cian asked. "Nothing happened to you back there?"
"I'm fine, that's all," Keith said.
The group settled down for awhile, but things had gotten weirder.
Keith went to the bathroom and was startled when he found vines sprouting out of the toilet.
Elliot and Cian showed up and was surprised at what they saw.
Cian cleaned up the mess while Elliot made sure Keith was alright, but found something a bit unsettling.
Elliot glanced over at the mirror to see his and Keith's reflection. But....where's Cian's?
"Thank you for bringing them back home," Dorothy said. "This isn't like them to just go out and get themselves into trouble."
"Are you blaming him?" Jaxon questioned.
"I didn't say anything about that."
"You were thinking it."
Dorothy sighed and looked over at Tristan, who was sleeping on the couch after freshening up. "He can be quite stubborn."
"Runs in the family," Jaxon noted with a grin. "When you're set on something, you want to achieve it, and that's what he's doing: wanting to solve this case. Reminds me of my grandpa in his prime time." He looked out the window to see the sun about to rise. "I best be getting back home."
"Careful out there," Dorothy said, and they bid farewell. She looked over at the sleeping Tristan. 'What am I going to do with you, boy?'
The Sunday after Hadley's father Ben passed away, she and hubby Marcus were invited to the Starlight Accolade Awards where Hadley's song 'Daddy's Song' was up for a nomination!

Origin ID HillyPlays P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
Played all day yesterday, so here's a mouthful of a recap, it's a LONG one
Recap one TL;DR Julep is abducted by aliens with a promise to return at a later date. Twizzler hates his dad and Julep is concerned about why until learning Jules is actively in a relationship with Bess Sterling. Julep breaks up with Jules.
Twizzler is welcomed home and dotted on by Julep for quite some time, and after many many nights of attempting to contact aliens, Julep gets a response.
She's abducted for the first time, in the dead of night. Both Jules and Twizzler slept through the whole of it, completely unaware of Julep's disappearance. After explaining her appreciation of aliens, and a want to help, the ship returns her with an ominous promise to return later.
It becomes clear very early on that Jules wants little to do with Twizzler, rarely helping a hand with the infant. Which is fine at first, as Julep didn't have to return to work just yet. She loved her son too much to realize she was doing all the work.
Then I got bored of babies and aged up Twizzler because babies are objects! As a toddler, Twizzler rolled the clingy trait. Though his attachment seemed to be more dependant on Julep than on Jules.
Whenever he asked Julep for attention, she would gladly stop whatever work she was doing she takes care of Twizzler. She was completely wrapped around his little finger as the firstborn.
But, this is around the time Jules had to take care of Twizzler more. Julep had to go into the field again, forcing Jules to stay home with Twizzler more often. Each day Jules was gone was full of tantrums, screaming, and yelling. Something Julep assumed was a product of her coddling the boy too much as a baby. The biting, however, was the last straw. There was something happening when Julep was away that was causing these outbursts from Twizzler.
And her name is Bess Sterling.
Despite working from home and having to raise his son, Jules never missed an opportunity to have his side girl swing by. With strict orders to not come over on the weekends, Bess was only half content being around for a few hours during the week. So she decided she was going to come over that weekend and hash it out for the last time for Jules's heart.
Completely unprovoked, Julep was greeted with a fight that she easily won. (Don't you just love roughhousing encouraged? *insert eye roll* )
Julep, understandably, laid into Bess for her behavior in someone else's home, but before Bess could answer for herself, Jules inserted himself in the conversation. Flipping the blame onto Julep for fighting back when provoked. Jules brings Bess to the kitchen, forcing Julep to follow with demands for an answer to this mess.
The answer is clearly spoken without words. Her decision takes seconds to make as the jealousy bubbles up in her throat. Jules was never hers, to begin with, and she wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction of ending this.
With a wave goodbye, Julep tells Jules it's over, to get out of her house. It tears her apart inside, knowing she wasn't good enough. Knowing her son didn't have a father to grow up with. But she would rather wait for the right person to come than be trapped with someone freely cheating on her.
Part two tl'dr Julep is abducted for a 2nd time with a deal from the aliens. They will allow Julep to visit their home planet through a wormhole generator if she carries a alien child for them. Julep agrees, and hides the unexpected outcome.
Julep collects her house key from Jules, and out of fear of losing her son, moves Twizzler's bed into her bedroom. Luckily, Twizzler stays with his mother, as Jules had no attachment to him anyway and had a son with Bess to worry about.
Twizzler grows up into a fine young man, sporting more red now that he's old enough to pick out his own clothes. He's handled his father leaving rather easily, as the two were strained already. He's got a group of friends that hang out on his jungle gym and he couldn't be happier living with his mom!
Julep is abducted a second time and told that a council has agreed upon an arrangement for Julep to visit the alien planet. If she carries an alien child to full term and let's an approved alien bring the child to live on said planet, Julep will be given diplomatic approval to visit whenever she wishes. With little thought, Julep agrees and now keeps in contact with an alien named Julissa.
Luckily nobody has been too nosy about the pregnancy, not even her best friend, Paka'a. They have some sort of silent understanding that Julep is pregnant but it needs not be said who the baby belongs to. Surprisingly, Paka'a has grown much more fond of Julep since their last date. Allowing her to kiss Paka'a before the baby's arrival.
While Twizzler and his friends play outside, Julep goes into labor.
Ultimately, this birth is harder on Julep. Knowing that the child she has grown attached to over the last few months wasn't even hers to raise. She was, thankfully, allowed to name the little girl. Welcoming Blossom Fizzle to the world is extremely devastating to Julep.
She's given only a few months with Blossom, long enough for her to become more aware of the world around her. The night Julissa arrives to take Blossom is the worst feeling in the world.
"Julep, we have respected your wishes to keep the 'Blossom' child a few months longer, but it is time for us to go. Hand the child over, and we will be in contact with blueprints to your requested wormhole generator."
Julissa, though serious, seems to acknowledge this is a sad moment for Julep. Or, perhaps she recognizes that the allocation of an extra few months has allowed Blossom to become attached to Julep.
"I need you to promise she'll be okay. A diplomatic arrangement or not, Blossom is my daughter and I want her to be taken care of. Whatever that capacity is on Sixam, I expect her to be loved" Julep sets Blossom to her feet, it's been unnerving and new that within mere months she's got a grasp on standing without aid.
"I promise she will be taken care of. Now, it is urgent we take our leave. Thank you for doing this for Sixam, Julep. Your legacy will live on through Blossom."
Agony shoots Julep through the heart as she leaves her daughter behind, hearing the sounds of her disguise melting off and the roar of a space ship taking off at lightspeed. Julep sits on the sofa, letting out a heavy sob as her second daughter toddles around the corner.
Blush Fizzle, Julep's well kept little secret. When Julep found out she was having twins, the decision had to be made if she alerted Sixam to the presence of a 2nd child. Knowing she was either losing both her children, or she had a shot at keeping one of them a secret was painful. In the end, she committed to keeping Blush's life a secret. Sixam wouldn't be bothering Julep in person for a long time to come, and while she could.
She was going to celebrate the daughter she had.
And that's the full recap! I'd really love it if you guys could tell me what you think of Julep's diplomatic pregnancy, and what you think of her keeping Blush a secret! I can't wait for heir voting with the inclusion of Blush
Now that the image hosting site is working again, I can post the images of Dirk and Twyla.
Pines (Gravity Falls): Thanks to the open relationship laws in Stan's area, he can hit it up with Monica Bing (Friends) with no trouble.
I have a feeling if Stan could have cheap, tawdry woohoo with a pretty woman, he'd go for it. (Though it ended up with a pregnancy.) At least Monica's husband doesn't know.
I plan to name the baby Stanford (Stan's twin brother) or Susan (Stan's ex) since I'll be playing the Bings next.
@Metior_Ice Yeah, that's the problem when you have many expansion/game/stuff packs installed I want to maximize the use of their features... So the cave and diving areas in Sulani are just like rockets, I see...
Reality Kings Season 2-Episode 11
Manuel attended the awards night that Sunday with Mick, Erik, and Ramon. He played guitar for others to watch while waiting for the ceremony.
Manuel's most recent acting performance earned him an award!
He almost cried while delivering his acceptance speech. He's been dreaming of this since he was a teenager.
The trophy he received is now displayed in his home together with the one he received when he was in Drama Club.
Manuel hosted a meet-and-greet event for the first time. He entertained his fans with his musical prowess.
The event made his celebrity status rise from "Rising Star" to "B-Lister."
Manuel had his first paparazzi encounter, but he sees no harm in being nice to them. He even gave an autograph sign to the first paparazzi that he encountered.
Dane gained fame by participating in professional gaming competitions and exploring space.
Bruce and Morgan are still together, and they had a date at Villa Bovine during the Love Day.
Erik had another acting project. (I don't know what it was because I wasn't controlling his household when those shots were taken.)
@Koteyka omg little baby Draco saying “wait till my father hears about this” that is BRILLIANT. And little Ron and Hermione fighting, so true to canon
And wow, I cannot imagine being in charge of so many toddlers and trying to get them all to do a play!
It can be difficult standing up for yourself sometimes. Especially because the bully can sometimes make fun of you for doing so.
***
I’m waiting on a proper hot fix for the crashing bug, then I’ll get back to Sims 4.
I’ve sometimes thought about doing a little flashback scene with the Masterson save, so we can see how Peter met Caroline for the first time, but I’m not sure how I’d get it done if I wanted to use screenshots. I mainly thought about this because of the last line in my most recent update, the one about Peter feeling like it was only yesterday he met Caroline.
@GrimlyFiendish I'm enjoying getting to know your sims! Nice of you to put spoilers for those who don't want to see Grim out of uniform. I totally peek every time, but it's very considerate of you.
Thank you so much.
Occult Simmer (All Occult All The Time)
Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
Haven't posted in a long while. I've been playing my vampire sim Amy Lee and it was just great. She has this boyfriend Royce who was given to her by the wishing well. She has also had a long crush on Caleb who would be more in her level since they're both vampires. Royce is just a nobody. However things with Caleb haven't been going smoothly (she actually got a festering grudge sentiment) and things with Royce on the other hand have. A week ago Amy Lee got a phone call that promised her an inheritance if she got married in a week. She was penniless and thought why not marry Royce and see where it leads. I got them engaged and had decided they would marry that night (it was valentines day too) when Royce suddendly asked her on a date to Selvadorada!
It happened to be this stunning cathedral on a hill (sorry not a very good pic)
It was just the perfect place for them to marry and I was so glad that it was sort of Royce's idea
Afterwards they both have deeply in love sentiments which they already had from before and now Amy Lee also has smitten. I love that now she seems to be more into Royce since she's been kinda indecisive between Royce and Caleb. She's mean and Royce is non-committal, but I do see some hope for them!
Edit: whoops I actually meant to post in the non serial story edition, since I play rotational.
Don't worry, Wilhelm isn't like his father. He is a very understanding and calm big brother. He can accept strong and independent women and as the youngest of all siblings Hedwig is very protected and very beloved by her family. Maybe she is too much protected and don't know much about the world. I'm currently playing her because she is the best sim to represent the roaring twenties, which have started for Germany around 1924, after the hyperinflation had ended at the end of 1923.
1923-1924.
Hedwig has finished the school and started her dual education to become a secretary.
She convinced Wilhelm to let her move in her first own apartment in the city of Berlin. Wilhelm wasn't very happy when he saw this old house and the apartment need some renovation too. But Hedwig begged to him and he couldn't say no to her.
At this moment with 17 years Hedwig stood finally on her own feet.
Time for Party and dancing all night long (probably only until 10 pm, because of juvenile protection restriction).
One evening she met Günther Munch again. He began to swarm around her and invited her for date. He is a very well-known and famous Artist in the Highsociety of Berlin. They went out on many dates, so Hedwig became his Muse and he does deeply adore her.
But there was a problem, two to be precise. Günther was already married, and his affair with Hedwig filled the tabloid press. He left his unbeloved wife, and in due of his guilt of aldutery to the divorce he had to sprent a couple of month in prison and furthermore he wasn't allowed to marry Hedwig ever.
They had a private and inofficial ceremony, in which they changed their vows. According to the law then originally a man over 18 years were allowed to marry a woman over 14 years old, but official way was closed.
But then it happened, just before her 18th birthday she got pregnant. Wilhelm had a long conversation with Hedwig about this, Günther was twice older than Hedwig but Hedwig was blind for love.
But then it happened, just shortly before her 18th birthday she got pregnant.
Time to meet the family. They questioned him a lot of private question. The inquistion was nicer.
But Gottfried, in the enternainer career, already knew him and he convinced his siblings to trust him and that he, Günther, will definately take care of Hedwig and the baby. Which was born at the end of the year 1924 and was name after the late brother, Karl.
Dane (who has reached Level 7 of wellness skill) teleported to Manuel's kitchen, visiting him for the first time in his new home. They had a nice chat together, and Dane installed some upgrades for free.
Jordan has reached his maximum body potential by heavy lifting.
Hugo celebrated his birthday at home instead of throwing a party in a community lot. He joined the culinary career track as a "Caterer."
Manuel visited Jordan, and he had to wait for him because he was in a Drama Club meeting. Jacques and Max both asked for his autograph sign which he granted nicely. When Jordan arrived, he and Manuel went down to the basement to have a nice chat and drink together.
Jacques went to the Fashion District as part of his evil scheme. There is a colleague that he dislikes as he sees her as a threat to his career as "The Brains" of his criminal organization.
That person is none other than Nancy Landgraab (a "Minor Crimelord") whom Jacques invited to his mansion to discuss something about a task. Jacques cooked a serving of pufferfish nigiri which he just learned from his recent visit to San Myshuno. He invited Nancy in and had a short chat with her. Then he led her to the kitchen-dining room to invite her to taste his "special recipe" while they discuss work. But it was gone!
Show spoiler to see who took it.
Max was hungry, so he took the pufferfish nigiri without thinking what it was. It was poorly cooked, so he was poisoned. Jacques, Nancy, and the family butler came over to see what's happening. It was too late! Jacques regretted his recklessness. He may be a criminal, but he loves his children.
Max was buried in the Newcrest Cemetery.
Jacques vented his feelings to Vivian who just came out of her grave as a ghost. For the first time, Jacques won a fight against her.
2nd week of the rotation brings us our first look of the Walton family....
The Walton family moved to Windenburg and the Moore family (we have not met them as they are later in the rotation) was there to greet them with the traditional fruit cake.
They enjoyed a competitive game of Don't Wake the Llama before the Moore's headed home.
Percy Walton loves to be outside and garden and build sculptures with his woodworking table while he works for a local garden center.
Phyllis wants a large family while she is a grade 4 teacher at the local elementary school. She enjoys cooking and playing board/card games.
Is your kitchen catching fire when you use the stove for the first time a hazing that you must go through when you move to Windenburg?
Windenburg cut off the Walton's power even though they still had one day to pay their bills. I guess Windenburg is short simoleons for their landscaping costs!
Justin Moore is sad because the Walton's are still using their bathroom sink instead of their kitchen sink to wash their dishes. Apparently they didn't get the memo that they can now wash their dishes in the kitchen sink.
Percy and Phyllis decided to go to the Spice Festival on Friday evening so they could try out some new cuisine.
They missed the memo that stated it was also the dress in brown and tan festival!
Marissa Long decided to sit with Percy and Phyllis just after they finished dinner and shoot Phyllis dirty looks. Clearly she would like some alone time with Percy!
"See you later Marissa. Thank you for coming over to flirt with my husband!" said Phyllis with a giant smile on her face.
And I'm back to sit and give you the eye while I eat my dinner.
Phyllis decided that she better make sure that Percy knows who his wife is.
And that was it for the week with the Walton's - onto the Kaye family (the third family we meet in this eight family rotation). I hope you enjoyed this little blurb from Windenburg!
Agathe and Ashley had a long honeymoon in Sulani and quite frankly fell in love with the islands...
Long story short they decided to offer to buy the rental they had been staying in.
@Koteyka I must say I love your episode about the christmas play. I haven't read the previous parts (though I did go back to the very beginning to check it out). Your toddlers are so cute and what Caleb said about the tree being the lead role was truly heart warming.
Long time no see, ya'll. And wouldya look at that, another 200 pages I'm never gonna get through.
So for some context, hi I'm the ... hmmmm censors, person that made Morgyn Ember's twin brother Ezio. I decided to make a new save when sentiments were patched in, and aged half the save down to toddlers and gave people parents, it's a huge mess. Here, this might help:
So this is, left to right, top to bottom:
Ezio, Lana (McKinnon, she is Lana Ember in this save, their mom), Rosalie (baby Morgyn), Tess (Dyer, also Ember, she is Lana's sister), and somewhere in Tess's hands is baby Mayor Whiskers; Liberty, her mother Trinity, and her father Zane (they had another baby, a boy named Tomas); Caleb, father Ramon, Lilith, and mother Natalia; L., father Julian, and mother Monica; Gemma, Minerva, and Darrel; Porter, Emilia, Antonia; Simeon, Tara, Rowan; Travis, Marvin; Summer, Ernesto, Leanne; and of course, the Goths, you can see which is which. I'll be playing the Embers, Lees, Vatores, and Ernests, for sure, I may toss other ones in there eventually but those are the ones I care about.
Anyway, here we go, magical toddler shenanigans.
Omnomnom. Onigiri.
Ezio the little dancer. Would you believe he caps dancing later? Wild.
Because bothering mom first thing in the morning is just part of the Ember toddler ritual.
Pile on Aunt Tess!
Something's messy here.
Yeah. Your eyes, Morgyn. Again.
白雪夏夜我不停歇
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
Grim and Aislinn visited their son, Dullahan, and daughter Cerridwen (and her family) in their new home. Not so new to the both of them though, because it's the house that Aislinn grew up in.
They had a chance to catch up with their daughter in law, Morgana, first whilst the others were busy freshening up. Of course they both noticed that their kids had decided to completely redecorate the house & started reminiscing about what it had looked like when they had lived there.
Dinner and more conversation followed.
Cerridwen then gave her Mum and Dad the grand tour, starting with the room that had once been her mother's as a child. They hadn't worked out what they were going to do with this particular room just yet, and Cerridwen took the opportunity to ask her Dad what her Mum had been like when they first met.
"She was about 3 feet tall, completely adorable & babbled a lot," Grim answered.
"Wait, are you telling me you and Mum met when she was a toddler?!" Cerridwen probed for more details.
"Well it's not like your Dad and I actually got together when I was that age," a rather sheepish Aislinn tried to explain, as her son decided he also had to hear this conversation.
"...I used to baby sit your Mum when your grandparents wanted a night out, they both died before you were born, and I used to stand guard over her at night to keep her safe, and then she wanted a little reaper gnome to keep in her bedroom as well..." Grim continued to regale Cerridwen and Dullahan with stories, whilst Aislinn blushed, and wondered if it was still possible for the ground to swallow someone if they were standing on the first floor.
House tour and awkward conversations over, they headed back downstairs to dance and chat with their granddaughter, Hel. Both wanting to know if she'd had a good time the other week when they'd run into her at Pan Pacific.
"You know what," Aislinn said to her husband then, "We really have raised some pretty great kids together."
Grim blew his wife a kiss, while their son worked on trimming his bonsai plant & pretended he hadn't just seen his parents getting all lovey dovey.
Occult Simmer (All Occult All The Time)
Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
Jordan was promoted to Junior Artiste, and the trophy is displayed in his bedroom.
He tested his newly acquired trait "Beguiling" on a townie girl called Mariana who knocked on the front door of the mansion. He was able to make her want to "mess around" with him in the hot tub near the swimming pool.
Then Jordan asked her to be his girlfriend only to break up with her after she said "yes."
Moving on, Jordan continued building his fitness skill like nothing happened. He was able to teleport to the exercise room in the basement after raising his fitness skill to Level 7.
Jordan's family celebrated the Souls Day (Fall Day 9, same as Manuel's birthday). Unfortunately, they were unable to see Max's ghost in the cemetery.
After returning home from Newcrest Cemetery, Hugo (now a "Head Caterer") left the mansion to live on his own. He bought a house in Brindleton Bay.
Jordan visited Erik's apartment. Erik told him about his annoying neighbor/ex-girlfriend (Kim) who keeps on entering their apartment without permission.
Jordan went next door just to prank that annoying girl. This time, he did not "Beguile" her. He used the "Enchanting Introduction" and made her fall in love with his charm. He was able to "mess around" with her.
He repeated what he did with Mariana, leaving Kim heartbroken.
"I want to spend eternally with you. Keith Bishop, will you marry you?"
"Tch, that sounds stupid," Cian groaned.
Cian isn't the only one who has a surprise.
"You think he'll accept this?" Keith asked.
"Are ya kiddin'? I bet he would be really happy if you tell him," Brianna replied and looked over Keith's shoulder. "Well, speak of the Watcher."
Keith greeted Cian with a kiss on the cheek and told him the big news. Turns out that Keith's pregnant!
"Guess this is a perfect time."
"Perfect time for what?" Keith wondered and gasped when Cian went down on one knee. You already know the answer for that.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Elliot went to the bar to question about the Secret Lab.
Tristan met up with one of the soldiers and tried to impress him with his strength...
...but the soldier left as Tristan was doing push ups.
Even his older brother, Noah, and the ghost of Vladislaus Straud are wondering what the heck's he doing.
Elliot followed the solider to the back alley, only to see him in a trance. He remembered seeing this happening to someone he can't recall and tried to get the soldier's attention...
...but it didn't end well.
Back in the bar, Tristan tried to seduce the other soldier, but it didn't work. Instead he bribed the soldier for 700 simoleons and was able to obtain the Infection Scanner. 'Thank Watcher for the Family lesson.'
Tristan walked out of the bar and found Elliot, looking uneasy.
"You alright there, El?"
"I'm okay," Elliot replied. "You got what you needed?"
"Yup, too easy."
Tristan tested the scanner, and a spore appeared next to him.
"Looks like we're not the only ones with plumbing problems," Tristan stated.
"You think it's funny for someone to have plants overgrow their toilet or sink?" Elliot asked.
"What? I'm just lightening up the mood," Tristan said. "I get that we're in some sort of sci-fi apocalypse with mutated plants sprouting around like weed."
"I swear, I don't see the bright side on everything like you."
[Well, this happened. Tristan was suddenly in a flirty mood and hit on Elliot, who became bashful. Starting a new relationship.]
Remembering what Brianna said about the plant in front of their house, Tristan scanned the area, only to get one spore. 'Maybe more will appear if I'm at the facility.'
Further on his investigation, he came across a rather stranger plant with a red, pulsating fruit on top.
"This is new," he said and plucked the fruit off. The plant poof back to "normal". "How did that happen? And who did it?"
@vancanuckfan86 it is super pretty it makes me wish that jungle adventure had come after this so it was both a living world and vacation spot cause they need to reuse sims and all that but you can ignore them and it has a nice travel vibe. At least to me, I like your chill game play I should do that more often then I'd have a surplus of screenies just waiting to be used. Darn sims just keep me invested when they want to. @DarkAngel1994 I really like your family line up there they all have this vibe about them then gen 8 is just like this cute boy next door type. @Keidra I'm looking forward to more updates I really like sentiments they just fit in though I think I'll have some sims I may have to ignore them on for my current sims they are nice. So can't wait to see what pops up in those families whenever you pop in again we need more Morgyn again. The tots are too cute.
Well gave out awesomes nice to see people having fun and such even though I've again fallen so behind lol. anyhoo on my test sim that isn't really a test sim anymore her name was Gemma, and now I'll have to play my usual families again to see how they feel about each other and what lifestyles they get. For now still with Gemma
This is just a nice picture.
Early the next morning she invited Haruto here over to spend time with him, she didn't bother Kado she is a big flirt like that, Haruto was disappointed she'd be leaving soon and agreed to spend the day with her.
I let her try out her snowboard I forgot I had it then there was a blizzard, and finally a nice day, I can't tell what she likes more maybe it's cause she's adventurous but leaving her unattended she switched between her board and loaner skis he came over to talk a bit but to get here you have to travel to the onsen which he seemed to prefer still he was there all the same.
I did not see Yamachan I think this one is called but the statue is super cute.
Finally it was time to go but he hung around to get some pictures.
"You won't be gone long right? You're coming back?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course I love it here, I just can't uproot my life yet."
He felt even more disappointed but put on a smile for her anyways, he wondered if she had a family there and he was just a fling, it would be his luck former kleptos get little chance again after they become normal members of society. Though he hugged her pretending he wasn't bitter over his choices.
Oh and those are the toys she got at the vending machine, they are so cute.
This is not long after Haruto left and she read a little not sure what triggered it, she was looking forward to going home so she could come back again. She kind of wanted to stay but she didn't have the money for a move not yet, she didn't want to tell him that and make it seem like she needed his money.
I touched up her apartment since she's a normal played sim now, isn't it cute?
Her adventure area so far, I never finished batuu so she's probably the sim for that and maybe she should head to Selvadorada too to dress this little spot up. I had her order the little grim doll on plopsy we're gonna pretend a local made it.
Back with Haruto, I dig that they gave function to those shoe racks it's a little thing yes but still.
It's hard being a bachelor he really really hopes she'll be back soon cause he is determined to show her she can be at home here.
With him.
Also here is an out of order pic, I thought I had captions on but didn't ugh anyways aside from liking they can move around in the hot springs I noticed something was bothering Kado, and she got sad because she's close to him and didn't want him to be sad, I'll be on the look out should I see it again she's not meant to be a female Don she really is a good girl life is just short is all. So that was sweet I let her give him a hug and he left.
Mmkay I should play, also I saw the possible work around was disabling sounds and I've been saving way more obsessively and I haven't had a crash yet but if you are try that and then try a longer play with a LOT of saving.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day
Comments
Before I was posting here, I bought the game when Island Living came out. Naturally, my sim was a merman at the time. This was one of my Dylan Zalrians. Anyways, he became a three star celebrity and must've met an Alien at the bar when I didn't lnow about the special bar nights... It could have been that bug when get to Work Came Out and sims were getting abducted unusually frequently... Honestly, I really can't remember what triggered it, but he ended up getting abducted nightly. Them Aliens must've really wanted a B-lister to play music at their parties. Lol. He never came home pregnant. I look back and imagine him rocking with his guitar and singing songs during an interstellar gig.
The Sulani Mana trait is the trait that makes a Sim an Elemental. It's not possible to encounter a sim with this trait without first having a sim with the Child of the Island's trait, and even then, the sims that appear when summoned are ghosts. It's a process to make the elementals mortal and "Try for Baby."
Outside the in-game route, you can use cheats or download a sim from the gallery that can pass on the trait. The trait itself isn't a typical life state like being a Merperson, Alien, Spellcaster, or Vampire. So, it is compatible with all life states.
The catch is that the trait can only be acquired via "Try for Baby" in game. A sim created in CAS by playing with genetics will not have the trait.
Sulani Mana is a hidden trait that does require a bit more effort if you want to do it without cheating. The reward is decent.
Elemental Abilities
Sad (Connection Denied and their tears will create a puddle that makes sims in the area uncomfortable.)
Playful (Makes your sim likable and improves social interactions)
Flirty (I forget the specific perk)
Confident (It grants career success by increasing the chance of a promotion).
Summon Lava Bombs (Acquire collectables like Metals, Crystals, Fossils, and Geodes. Gain a unique landscaping decoration. Lava Bombs can start fires.)
Gift of Sulani (Upgrade the quality of a plant by one level. Makes perfect quality plants and income from high value plants much easier.)
The Child Life Stage can use these abilities.
Teens and up can pass judgement.
Abilities are only limited by a cool down timer and the presence of a judgement moodlet.
If you don't summon the Island Elementals in their ghost form or download a mortal elemental from the gallery, you will never see an Elemental in your game.
Dylan and Zephyr, my main sims are in the gallery and they are guaranteed to pass on the Sulani Mana Trait. However, as long as they are mermen, there's a 50% chance that their children will be merfolk if they have a kid with a Human Sim. Merfolk can control the weather, and the ability to call a rainstorm after summoning a lava bomb is a handy combo. Rainstorms can help save time managing large gardens too.
But I don't want to leave you with nothing this week, so here's a long term spoiler with absolutely 0 context.
Reality Kings Season 2-Episode 10
Manuel celebrated the New Year's Eve with his family.
He attended the awards night with Mick and Ramon. However, none of them won an award. The woman in blue sitting beside Ramon is Lisa, the mother of Candy and Yuki Behr. She is also a "Seasoned Thespian" and a "Global Superstar" just like Judith Ward. She's the actress who gave Manuel an autographed photo back in early Season 1. Now, Manuel's being shy to ask her if she remembers him.
Jordan was visited by his official girlfriend who saw in his newly-renovated bedroom a photo of him with another girl (Holly, the daughter of Tomax Collete. remember?) taken during one Romance Festival. This enraged her and made her break up with Jordan.
Jordan wasn't really bothered because he didn't really think his relationship with her will last long. He just worked out and practiced yoga for the rest of the night.
The following day, he spent time in a cafe in Windenburg (I can't remember which cafe this is) with his celebrity friends Manuel, Mick, and Erik after attending the Drama Club meeting.
Then the four of them went to the karaoke bar near Manuel's new house. Jordan did his homework outside while Manuel was singing for the karaoke contest which was won by a random townie. Manuel's singing skill was only at Level 6 that time. There were some fans there asking for Manuel's autograph, and Manuel is nice enough to give what they're asking for.
Manuel has built both his guitar and singing skills so well that he's now confident enough to sing and play guitar in public. This further boosted his fame. Now he's considering becoming a singer-actor.
He went home to take a shower, and then he was supposed to sleep before he was surprised to see Summer in his bedroom. Of course, she has the key to Manuel's house. He serenaded her in his sleepwear.
Determined to win an acting award, Manuel auditioned for another acting gig, and successfully got the role.
He had to build his Fitness skill and practice action scenes, so he worked out in Skye Fitness gym with his friends. He also practiced action scenes with Mick and Jordan there.
He also had to build his guitar skill, so he hurriedly went to Summer's house without even changing out of his Athletic outfit. He sang and played guitar for Summer and serenaded her in her bedroom. They also ate together.
Show spoiler to see how Manuel's acting gig went.
He's working with Judith Ward again (and a random townie), and his scenes went well.
He got promoted to "Rising Star," so he's now a "Rising Star" with a "Rising Star" celebrity status.
And he was nominated for an acting award!
He went to Planet Honey Pop! that night with his half-brothers. He also called Summer to come, and when she arrived, he stopped singing at once...
...to greet her with a kiss.
He serenaded her there, and the other people hearing him sing and play guitar were pleased with his talent.
Manuel went home with Summer. He was already sleepy, but Summer wasn't. So he slept while Summer was doing something on his computer.

I feel like I'm missing out.
For Dylan and Zeph, I plan to:
Enjoy the outdoors and do stuff with outdoors retreat
Go to university
Become scientists
Become doctors
Become actors
and the future has more possibilities.
I played as a scientist that investigated strangerville, inventing a sim ray with a freeze ray function was so satisfying when an angry general came to my sims door for snooping around the lab.
Sulani has tons of hidden elements to it. I think they spent a lot of time hiding everything you can do in plain sight. Almost all the neighborhoods have various water vehicles that can be used for fun or fishing, but Sulani has a festival every single day of the week that isn't advertised.
The beach cave and dive spots are fun in their own way, but they are rabbit holes. Waiting for your sim to surface isn't much better than a loading screen with less to do.
@Becka28 I honestly laughed when I read the bit about Lincoln attracting Caleb so much he got attacked five times
@Lucy_Henley aww, "Ginger Child Spellcasters" sounds adorable! They're so cute together
@Daravi the old quarter build looks gorgeous and very realistic, I love it
@Daephene I really enjoyed reading you vampire family update. I actually used to always make Wolfgang munch a vampire in my game before, I don't know why but it just suits him
Responses to mentions:
@Becka28 It was kind of a little bit of a misphrasing on my part, I actually meant I'm illustrating a book for my friend
But thank you for your kind words, they're incredibly uplifting
@BlueSeaWaves thank you for your comments on my story!
@Lucy_Henley I haven't really thought that through yet but actually either most of their talk was telepathic, either that's just how he remembers it
Thank you!
@ryttu3k Hmm, maybe it could've! I remember Gwen getting a sad moodlet about ruined ornaments but it appeared afterwards. I thought it was quite funny
Thank you!
@Daephene thank you!
@sunblond That's really great to know, thank you! I couldn't really imagine Peter, for instance, being friends with Caleb, or honestly even Thor
"Ooh look at that! Mr Stark, can we have that in the show? Can we, can we?"
"It would be so awesomeee! Can we, mr Stark?"
"Mr Stark, why can't I play Rudolph..."
"Nooo, Ron, you got it all wrong! Why can't you remember your lines?"
"Because you're distracting meee! Mr Lupin, why can't I play someone else? Hermione is annoying!"
"But why mr Stark!? Why can't Goyle be a reindeer like us? That's not fair!!"
"Hehe... this is harder then I thought..."
So my father and Remus Lupin were in charge of the organising "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" into a play with the youngest students. And as all things related to 3-4 year olds, it was failing miserably.
More under the cut:
"Well why can't Neville play the elf, he's fat like one!" shouted Draco.
"Because... he doesn't want to.
"And he's convinced he's playing Rudolph."
"Mr Lupin, are you sure I can't play Rudolph?.."
"Anyway, Gregory is happy at his role! Look how nicely he's getting along with Rhi!"
"Hi, I'm Gregory!"
"Hi, I'm Rhi! Are we gonna be elves together?"
"I think!"
"Yeah but he's OUR friend! Tel him, Crabbe!"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, okay. Draco, Vincent... it's just a play. Just a play, okay? Now go get ready, we're rehearsing soon."
"Wait till my father hears about this!"
Peter sighed.
"Er... Remus, a little bit help?.."
"Sorry, those two are on you, I better go see what's happening with Hermione and Ron..."
"That's it! I'm not playing with you anymore!" Hermione howled. "You're mean!"
"No, you're mean! And bossy! And I don't like you!"
"That's enough children, stop your fighting, we're going to start rehearsing soon..."
"But Dad, I want the lead role!"
"Ianto, you're not even in school yet!"
So technically I wasn't in school, but at the same time I was. See, my father got assigned to the youngest preschool class and since Rhi was going there, obviously I was supposed to as well. Usually I wasn't eager about the activities, but this was different. I invited Caleb to the play.
"Ianto, for the last time! I'm not giving you the lead role! You're too young and Harry was voted for it anyway!"
"How dare you! I'm your SON!"
"Ianto, I'm not going to favorite you just because you're my son... And you really should call me mr Stark around here so the other kids don't feel jealous."
Dad would often tell us to call him mr Stark at school. He thought it'd make the other kids jealous. Don't know if it helped, but I for one made sure that my children can always call me dad if they want to.
"Okay, look.. you won't even be able to remember the lines. And we've only got a week to rehearse this play! So not this time, okay buddy?"
He had me for a moment there. I didn't know what to reply. So I had to retreat to plan B.
"Please... Daddy... I wanna be in the plaaaaay..."
Always worked like a charm.
"Okay, okay, just please stop crying!"
"You want to be in the play?"
"U-huh."
"Alright then!"
"I think I have just the role for you..."
A tree. He made me a TREE.
And I told Caled I was playing lead role.
I was mad, I was incredibly mad. And because I was lucky, there were two people I could be mad at.
"Why is he even talking to Rhiannon?"
"She's sooo stupid..."
Vincent Crabbe and Draco Malfoy.
"She should be friends with Neville, not Goyle!"
Ooooh, I hated those two.
"I bet she's in love with him!"
One thing everyone should know - never mess with the people I love. NEVER.
"Hey you! Stop being mean to my sister!"
"Um. Who ever are you, mr tree?"
"I'm Ianto and I don't like you saying mean things about her!"
"Well that's too bad 'cause she's stupid-"
"Grrrr..."
Now for the record- they had a point. Gregory Goyle wasn't the best friend Rhi could make and the fact that she didn't realise that made her a little stupid indeed. But no one dared say anything bad about a person I held dear - they might've as well considered themselves dead.
"Aaaah!"
Well. Unless they couldn't die. Caleb isn't the only creature I know who can't die.
"Mmm..."
"MR STAAARK!"
(Okay I don't know what it is about Draco, I know he's supposed to be the "bully" but he makes the cutest expressions
"Ianto! How many times have I told you - we do NOT tolerate violence in this school, it might go on your record!"
"My record? Dad, I'm not even a part of this school... And you're taking his side? I'm YOUR SON!"
"Ianto! You can't go around biting people!"
"But he said mean things-"
"I'm sure he didn't say anything that would make you resort to violence."
My dad is actually a genius. Even though he doesn't use his genius skills and works in a school. But despite all of his geniusness in math or science, he also happened to be insanely stupid. Because he never learnt from his mistakes. He was bullied in school EXACTLY because he never stood up for himself. Rhi was the same way - well I didn't want her to end up like him.
"You know even know what he said but you take his side anyway! UNGGGGHHH! I hate you!"
"Ianto wait..."
"Now can I play Rudolph?"
I was mad. I was incredibly mad. But not mad enough to not notice another tree. Looks like I wasn't the only one placed in the shameful outfit of theatre outcasts.
"Hello... What are you doing here?"
At first I didn't even know whether it was a girl or a boy. Whoever it was, they smiled at me.
"I'm looking for Wrackspurts. Have you seen them?"
"Unfortunately no, but I have seen flying chickens, Sulani spirits, vampires and whatever mr Lupin is."
"It's okay, I haven't seen them either. But I think there might be a few in here!"
"Well if I see one, I'll make sure to tell you..."
"I'm Ianto. Hey look, we're both trees, yay?.."
"I'm Luna. Yes, it's wonderful that we're both trees. That way the Blibbering Humdingers won't be able to find us."
Luna was the first, yet not last girl I completely fell in love with who's name began with an L. She was extraordinary. And our friendship began with a tree.
And so it came - the day of the play.
I don't really remember how it went but I'm sure that as with any toddlers, it all went horribly wrong.
The way Dad remembers, we were all constantly forgetting our lines and singing out of tune and he was worried he'd get fired. Which he didn't - we had a very peculiar headmaster to say the least.
We do have a lot of pictures of Rhi as an elf from the play though.
Not so much of me - I was busy making angry eyes at Draco.
Besides, I was just a tree. There wasn't must I could do except dance when everyone dances and sing when everyone sang. And even then I barely moved or opened my mouth. I couldn't care less about the play - I was waiting.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come."
"You don't even know who I'm waiting for..."
"No, but you certainly are. And I'm sure he'll come. You shouldn't worry."
"Thanks Luna..."
"There he is!"
We had a window in our roof. Ventilation purposes, I suppose - the stage room had no normal windows. It had a perfect view on the stage.
And of course that's where Caleb went. Because he came. I invited him and he actually came to see the play.
I waved at him - in my own way, of course. I was already a Star Trek fan by then.
I'm not sure he quite understood my gesture.
But he smiled a bit.
And that was enough.
I was glad Caleb came. So glad I might've been the only one honestly smiling during the final bow. Which is rather unusual for me.
"Stop pushing me!"
"No you stop pushing me!"
"Harry, do you think we did good?"
"I don't know, I forgot everything I had to say..."
"I still think Goyle should've been a reindeer, not a stupid elf."
"I liked being an elf..."
It was fun. And so was the party afterwards. But that wasn't really what I was there for.
"Did you like the play?"
"I did. It was... colorful."
"I'm sorry I lied."
"You lied?"
"Yeah, about being the lead role."
"But... you were the lead role."
"No I wasn't, I was just a tree! I didn't even talk much!"
"When others spoke, they spoke alone. When you spoke, even very quietly - everyone spoke with you. When other moved, they moved alone. When you moved, even just a little bit - everyone moved with you. You were the lead role."
"Huh! That does make sense! Well, guess I did play the most important role then!"
I smiled at him and he smiled at me. That made me feel that perhaps we might be friends. So I decided to ask a personal question.
"Why do you need Harry?"
I remember how that made him frown immediately.
"Can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Bad thing."
"You want to do a bad thing to Harry?"
"Take him away."
"What for? What did he do to you?"
"Nothing. Remus Lupin did. This is... revenge."
The more he talked, the more puzzled I became. There was something very wrong with Remus Lupin, sure. What did it have to do with him?
"You don't look like the revenge type. What did Remus Lupin do?"
Caleb shrugged. The two of us looked into the distance.
"I... I don't want to," he then quietly said. "I don't want to take Harry away."
"Why are they making you? You're the nice one. Can't they do it on their own?"
He sighed.
"Because of my soul... I don't need to be invited. So I'm the only one who can do it. But I... I don't want to."
"When I don't want to do something... I just don't. And I don't care what others say. I just don't. You should try that sometime."
Caleb looked at me and smiled gently.
And then he left.
I sighed, watching him go. Who was Remus Lupin and what did he have to do with Caleb's family?
@Daephene - Thanks!
Hope this helps to know which branch Tristan came from.
Catch up on Tristan's strange mission!

Chapter Three - Survivor
"Stupid plants," Keith cursed and kicked the nearby plant without second thought, causing particles to spread. He sneezed when it got on his face.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Jaxon shouted. "You don't just go around and kick those things!"
"And let these parasites grow all over the place like it's nothing?!" Keith snapped.
Cian tried to calm his boyfriend down the best he can.
Iris pulled Tristan aside to have a quick chat.
"Tristan, what were you thinking? You could've got yourself or the others hurt," Iris scolded. "Why couldn't you just listen to what Madam Swan told you?"
"We came back in one piece, along with a survivor," Tristan said, inclining to Elliot. "I also saw another door, but it was blocked by this purple dust. Luckily, Jaxon showed up before I can go through."
Iris sighed heavily. "Why must you always put yourself in danger?"
"Hey, I know what I'm doing," Tristan remarked.
"No you don't!" Iris shouted, causing everyone to shut up. "This isn't all fun and games! What you're doing is going to kill you if you're not careful! "
Tristan looked at her in disbelief. "You're on Cian's side, right? You think I'm crazy and what I'm doing could possibly be too dangerous. Is that what I'm getting?"
"Tristan, I'm not taking no one's side," Iris said.
"Yeah right," Tristan grumbled, and they hadn't said a word to each other as they head back home.
"You sure you're alright, love?" Cian asked. "Nothing happened to you back there?"
"I'm fine, that's all," Keith said.
The group settled down for awhile, but things had gotten weirder.
Keith went to the bathroom and was startled when he found vines sprouting out of the toilet.
Elliot and Cian showed up and was surprised at what they saw.
Cian cleaned up the mess while Elliot made sure Keith was alright, but found something a bit unsettling.
Elliot glanced over at the mirror to see his and Keith's reflection. But....where's Cian's?
"Thank you for bringing them back home," Dorothy said. "This isn't like them to just go out and get themselves into trouble."
"Are you blaming him?" Jaxon questioned.
"I didn't say anything about that."
"You were thinking it."
Dorothy sighed and looked over at Tristan, who was sleeping on the couch after freshening up. "He can be quite stubborn."
"Runs in the family," Jaxon noted with a grin. "When you're set on something, you want to achieve it, and that's what he's doing: wanting to solve this case. Reminds me of my grandpa in his prime time." He looked out the window to see the sun about to rise. "I best be getting back home."
"Careful out there," Dorothy said, and they bid farewell. She looked over at the sleeping Tristan. 'What am I going to do with you, boy?'

P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
"it doesn't matter who your parents are, you still need to practice!"
Recap one TL;DR Julep is abducted by aliens with a promise to return at a later date. Twizzler hates his dad and Julep is concerned about why until learning Jules is actively in a relationship with Bess Sterling. Julep breaks up with Jules.
Twizzler is welcomed home and dotted on by Julep for quite some time, and after many many nights of attempting to contact aliens, Julep gets a response.
She's abducted for the first time, in the dead of night. Both Jules and Twizzler slept through the whole of it, completely unaware of Julep's disappearance. After explaining her appreciation of aliens, and a want to help, the ship returns her with an ominous promise to return later.
It becomes clear very early on that Jules wants little to do with Twizzler, rarely helping a hand with the infant. Which is fine at first, as Julep didn't have to return to work just yet. She loved her son too much to realize she was doing all the work.
Then I got bored of babies and aged up Twizzler because babies are objects! As a toddler, Twizzler rolled the clingy trait. Though his attachment seemed to be more dependant on Julep than on Jules.
Whenever he asked Julep for attention, she would gladly stop whatever work she was doing she takes care of Twizzler. She was completely wrapped around his little finger as the firstborn.
But, this is around the time Jules had to take care of Twizzler more. Julep had to go into the field again, forcing Jules to stay home with Twizzler more often. Each day Jules was gone was full of tantrums, screaming, and yelling. Something Julep assumed was a product of her coddling the boy too much as a baby. The biting, however, was the last straw. There was something happening when Julep was away that was causing these outbursts from Twizzler.
And her name is Bess Sterling.
Despite working from home and having to raise his son, Jules never missed an opportunity to have his side girl swing by. With strict orders to not come over on the weekends, Bess was only half content being around for a few hours during the week. So she decided she was going to come over that weekend and hash it out for the last time for Jules's heart.
Completely unprovoked, Julep was greeted with a fight that she easily won. (Don't you just love roughhousing encouraged? *insert eye roll* )
Julep, understandably, laid into Bess for her behavior in someone else's home, but before Bess could answer for herself, Jules inserted himself in the conversation. Flipping the blame onto Julep for fighting back when provoked. Jules brings Bess to the kitchen, forcing Julep to follow with demands for an answer to this mess.
The answer is clearly spoken without words. Her decision takes seconds to make as the jealousy bubbles up in her throat. Jules was never hers, to begin with, and she wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction of ending this.
With a wave goodbye, Julep tells Jules it's over, to get out of her house. It tears her apart inside, knowing she wasn't good enough. Knowing her son didn't have a father to grow up with. But she would rather wait for the right person to come than be trapped with someone freely cheating on her.
Part two tl'dr Julep is abducted for a 2nd time with a deal from the aliens. They will allow Julep to visit their home planet through a wormhole generator if she carries a alien child for them. Julep agrees, and hides the unexpected outcome.
Julep collects her house key from Jules, and out of fear of losing her son, moves Twizzler's bed into her bedroom. Luckily, Twizzler stays with his mother, as Jules had no attachment to him anyway and had a son with Bess to worry about.
Twizzler grows up into a fine young man, sporting more red now that he's old enough to pick out his own clothes. He's handled his father leaving rather easily, as the two were strained already. He's got a group of friends that hang out on his jungle gym and he couldn't be happier living with his mom!
Julep is abducted a second time and told that a council has agreed upon an arrangement for Julep to visit the alien planet. If she carries an alien child to full term and let's an approved alien bring the child to live on said planet, Julep will be given diplomatic approval to visit whenever she wishes. With little thought, Julep agrees and now keeps in contact with an alien named Julissa.
Luckily nobody has been too nosy about the pregnancy, not even her best friend, Paka'a. They have some sort of silent understanding that Julep is pregnant but it needs not be said who the baby belongs to. Surprisingly, Paka'a has grown much more fond of Julep since their last date. Allowing her to kiss Paka'a before the baby's arrival.
While Twizzler and his friends play outside, Julep goes into labor.
Ultimately, this birth is harder on Julep. Knowing that the child she has grown attached to over the last few months wasn't even hers to raise. She was, thankfully, allowed to name the little girl. Welcoming Blossom Fizzle to the world is extremely devastating to Julep.
She's given only a few months with Blossom, long enough for her to become more aware of the world around her. The night Julissa arrives to take Blossom is the worst feeling in the world.
"Julep, we have respected your wishes to keep the 'Blossom' child a few months longer, but it is time for us to go. Hand the child over, and we will be in contact with blueprints to your requested wormhole generator."
Julissa, though serious, seems to acknowledge this is a sad moment for Julep. Or, perhaps she recognizes that the allocation of an extra few months has allowed Blossom to become attached to Julep.
"I need you to promise she'll be okay. A diplomatic arrangement or not, Blossom is my daughter and I want her to be taken care of. Whatever that capacity is on Sixam, I expect her to be loved" Julep sets Blossom to her feet, it's been unnerving and new that within mere months she's got a grasp on standing without aid.
"I promise she will be taken care of. Now, it is urgent we take our leave. Thank you for doing this for Sixam, Julep. Your legacy will live on through Blossom."
Agony shoots Julep through the heart as she leaves her daughter behind, hearing the sounds of her disguise melting off and the roar of a space ship taking off at lightspeed. Julep sits on the sofa, letting out a heavy sob as her second daughter toddles around the corner.
Blush Fizzle, Julep's well kept little secret. When Julep found out she was having twins, the decision had to be made if she alerted Sixam to the presence of a 2nd child. Knowing she was either losing both her children, or she had a shot at keeping one of them a secret was painful. In the end, she committed to keeping Blush's life a secret. Sixam wouldn't be bothering Julep in person for a long time to come, and while she could.
She was going to celebrate the daughter she had.
And that's the full recap! I'd really love it if you guys could tell me what you think of Julep's diplomatic pregnancy, and what you think of her keeping Blush a secret! I can't wait for heir voting with the inclusion of Blush
Pines (Gravity Falls): Thanks to the open relationship laws in Stan's area, he can hit it up with Monica Bing (Friends) with no trouble.
I have a feeling if Stan could have cheap, tawdry woohoo with a pretty woman, he'd go for it. (Though it ended up with a pregnancy.) At least Monica's husband doesn't know.
I plan to name the baby Stanford (Stan's twin brother) or Susan (Stan's ex) since I'll be playing the Bings next.

And wow, I cannot imagine being in charge of so many toddlers and trying to get them all to do a play!
It can be difficult standing up for yourself sometimes. Especially because the bully can sometimes make fun of you for doing so.

I’m waiting on a proper hot fix for the crashing bug, then I’ll get back to Sims 4.
I’ve sometimes thought about doing a little flashback scene with the Masterson save, so we can see how Peter met Caroline for the first time, but I’m not sure how I’d get it done if I wanted to use screenshots. I mainly thought about this because of the last line in my most recent update, the one about Peter feeling like it was only yesterday he met Caroline.
Thank you so much.
Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
It happened to be this stunning cathedral on a hill (sorry not a very good pic)
It was just the perfect place for them to marry and I was so glad that it was sort of Royce's idea
Afterwards they both have deeply in love sentiments which they already had from before and now Amy Lee also has smitten. I love that now she seems to be more into Royce since she's been kinda indecisive between Royce and Caleb. She's mean and Royce is non-committal, but I do see some hope for them!
Edit: whoops I actually meant to post in the non serial story edition, since I play rotational.
Updated with Werewolf Diaries (1)
Don't worry, Wilhelm isn't like his father. He is a very understanding and calm big brother. He can accept strong and independent women and as the youngest of all siblings Hedwig is very protected and very beloved by her family. Maybe she is too much protected and don't know much about the world. I'm currently playing her because she is the best sim to represent the roaring twenties, which have started for Germany around 1924, after the hyperinflation had ended at the end of 1923.
1923-1924.
Hedwig has finished the school and started her dual education to become a secretary.
She convinced Wilhelm to let her move in her first own apartment in the city of Berlin. Wilhelm wasn't very happy when he saw this old house and the apartment need some renovation too. But Hedwig begged to him and he couldn't say no to her.
At this moment with 17 years Hedwig stood finally on her own feet.
Time for Party and dancing all night long (probably only until 10 pm, because of juvenile protection restriction).
One evening she met Günther Munch again. He began to swarm around her and invited her for date. He is a very well-known and famous Artist in the Highsociety of Berlin. They went out on many dates, so Hedwig became his Muse and he does deeply adore her.
But there was a problem, two to be precise. Günther was already married, and his affair with Hedwig filled the tabloid press. He left his unbeloved wife, and in due of his guilt of aldutery to the divorce he had to sprent a couple of month in prison and furthermore he wasn't allowed to marry Hedwig ever.
But then it happened, just before her 18th birthday she got pregnant. Wilhelm had a long conversation with Hedwig about this, Günther was twice older than Hedwig but Hedwig was blind for love.
But then it happened, just shortly before her 18th birthday she got pregnant.
Time to meet the family. They questioned him a lot of private question. The inquistion was nicer.
But Gottfried, in the enternainer career, already knew him and he convinced his siblings to trust him and that he, Günther, will definately take care of Hedwig and the baby. Which was born at the end of the year 1924 and was name after the late brother, Karl.
Anyway here is a huge spoiler:
Two dumpster-hipsters in a container has now morphed into two mermaids and a robot...
Dane (who has reached Level 7 of wellness skill) teleported to Manuel's kitchen, visiting him for the first time in his new home. They had a nice chat together, and Dane installed some upgrades for free.
Jordan has reached his maximum body potential by heavy lifting.
Hugo celebrated his birthday at home instead of throwing a party in a community lot. He joined the culinary career track as a "Caterer."
Manuel visited Jordan, and he had to wait for him because he was in a Drama Club meeting. Jacques and Max both asked for his autograph sign which he granted nicely. When Jordan arrived, he and Manuel went down to the basement to have a nice chat and drink together.
Jacques went to the Fashion District as part of his evil scheme. There is a colleague that he dislikes as he sees her as a threat to his career as "The Brains" of his criminal organization.
That person is none other than Nancy Landgraab (a "Minor Crimelord") whom Jacques invited to his mansion to discuss something about a task. Jacques cooked a serving of pufferfish nigiri which he just learned from his recent visit to San Myshuno. He invited Nancy in and had a short chat with her. Then he led her to the kitchen-dining room to invite her to taste his "special recipe" while they discuss work. But it was gone!
Show spoiler to see who took it.
Max was buried in the Newcrest Cemetery.
Jacques vented his feelings to Vivian who just came out of her grave as a ghost. For the first time, Jacques won a fight against her.

The Walton family moved to Windenburg and the Moore family (we have not met them as they are later in the rotation) was there to greet them with the traditional fruit cake.
They enjoyed a competitive game of Don't Wake the Llama before the Moore's headed home.
Percy Walton loves to be outside and garden and build sculptures with his woodworking table while he works for a local garden center.
Phyllis wants a large family while she is a grade 4 teacher at the local elementary school. She enjoys cooking and playing board/card games.
Is your kitchen catching fire when you use the stove for the first time a hazing that you must go through when you move to Windenburg?
Windenburg cut off the Walton's power even though they still had one day to pay their bills. I guess Windenburg is short simoleons for their landscaping costs!
Justin Moore is sad because the Walton's are still using their bathroom sink instead of their kitchen sink to wash their dishes. Apparently they didn't get the memo that they can now wash their dishes in the kitchen sink.
Percy and Phyllis decided to go to the Spice Festival on Friday evening so they could try out some new cuisine.
They missed the memo that stated it was also the dress in brown and tan festival!
Marissa Long decided to sit with Percy and Phyllis just after they finished dinner and shoot Phyllis dirty looks. Clearly she would like some alone time with Percy!
"See you later Marissa. Thank you for coming over to flirt with my husband!" said Phyllis with a giant smile on her face.
And I'm back to sit and give you the eye while I eat my dinner.
Phyllis decided that she better make sure that Percy knows who his wife is.
And that was it for the week with the Walton's - onto the Kaye family (the third family we meet in this eight family rotation). I hope you enjoyed this little blurb from Windenburg!
Agathe and Ashley had a long honeymoon in Sulani and quite frankly fell in love with the islands...
Long story short they decided to offer to buy the rental they had been staying in.
Swimming...
Tanning...
Playing around in the waves...

So for some context, hi I'm the ... hmmmm censors, person that made Morgyn Ember's twin brother Ezio. I decided to make a new save when sentiments were patched in, and aged half the save down to toddlers and gave people parents, it's a huge mess. Here, this might help:
So this is, left to right, top to bottom:
Ezio, Lana (McKinnon, she is Lana Ember in this save, their mom), Rosalie (baby Morgyn), Tess (Dyer, also Ember, she is Lana's sister), and somewhere in Tess's hands is baby Mayor Whiskers; Liberty, her mother Trinity, and her father Zane (they had another baby, a boy named Tomas); Caleb, father Ramon, Lilith, and mother Natalia; L., father Julian, and mother Monica; Gemma, Minerva, and Darrel; Porter, Emilia, Antonia; Simeon, Tara, Rowan; Travis, Marvin; Summer, Ernesto, Leanne; and of course, the Goths, you can see which is which. I'll be playing the Embers, Lees, Vatores, and Ernests, for sure, I may toss other ones in there eventually but those are the ones I care about.
Anyway, here we go, magical toddler shenanigans.
Omnomnom. Onigiri.
Ezio the little dancer. Would you believe he caps dancing later? Wild.
Because bothering mom first thing in the morning is just part of the Ember toddler ritual.
Pile on Aunt Tess!
Something's messy here.
Yeah. Your eyes, Morgyn. Again.
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
Stop player on player violence.
They had a chance to catch up with their daughter in law, Morgana, first whilst the others were busy freshening up. Of course they both noticed that their kids had decided to completely redecorate the house & started reminiscing about what it had looked like when they had lived there.
Dinner and more conversation followed.
Cerridwen then gave her Mum and Dad the grand tour, starting with the room that had once been her mother's as a child. They hadn't worked out what they were going to do with this particular room just yet, and Cerridwen took the opportunity to ask her Dad what her Mum had been like when they first met.
"She was about 3 feet tall, completely adorable & babbled a lot," Grim answered.
"Wait, are you telling me you and Mum met when she was a toddler?!" Cerridwen probed for more details.
"Well it's not like your Dad and I actually got together when I was that age," a rather sheepish Aislinn tried to explain, as her son decided he also had to hear this conversation.
"...I used to baby sit your Mum when your grandparents wanted a night out, they both died before you were born, and I used to stand guard over her at night to keep her safe, and then she wanted a little reaper gnome to keep in her bedroom as well..." Grim continued to regale Cerridwen and Dullahan with stories, whilst Aislinn blushed, and wondered if it was still possible for the ground to swallow someone if they were standing on the first floor.
House tour and awkward conversations over, they headed back downstairs to dance and chat with their granddaughter, Hel. Both wanting to know if she'd had a good time the other week when they'd run into her at Pan Pacific.
"You know what," Aislinn said to her husband then, "We really have raised some pretty great kids together."
Grim blew his wife a kiss, while their son worked on trimming his bonsai plant & pretended he hadn't just seen his parents getting all lovey dovey.
Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
Jordan was promoted to Junior Artiste, and the trophy is displayed in his bedroom.
He tested his newly acquired trait "Beguiling" on a townie girl called Mariana who knocked on the front door of the mansion. He was able to make her want to "mess around" with him in the hot tub near the swimming pool.
Then Jordan asked her to be his girlfriend only to break up with her after she said "yes."
Moving on, Jordan continued building his fitness skill like nothing happened. He was able to teleport to the exercise room in the basement after raising his fitness skill to Level 7.
Jordan's family celebrated the Souls Day (Fall Day 9, same as Manuel's birthday). Unfortunately, they were unable to see Max's ghost in the cemetery.
After returning home from Newcrest Cemetery, Hugo (now a "Head Caterer") left the mansion to live on his own. He bought a house in Brindleton Bay.
Jordan visited Erik's apartment. Erik told him about his annoying neighbor/ex-girlfriend (Kim) who keeps on entering their apartment without permission.
Jordan went next door just to prank that annoying girl. This time, he did not "Beguile" her. He used the "Enchanting Introduction" and made her fall in love with his charm. He was able to "mess around" with her.
He repeated what he did with Mariana, leaving Kim heartbroken.

"Tch, that sounds stupid," Cian groaned.
Cian isn't the only one who has a surprise.
"You think he'll accept this?" Keith asked.
"Are ya kiddin'? I bet he would be really happy if you tell him," Brianna replied and looked over Keith's shoulder. "Well, speak of the Watcher."
Keith greeted Cian with a kiss on the cheek and told him the big news. Turns out that Keith's pregnant!
"Guess this is a perfect time."
"Perfect time for what?" Keith wondered and gasped when Cian went down on one knee. You already know the answer for that.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Elliot went to the bar to question about the Secret Lab.
Tristan met up with one of the soldiers and tried to impress him with his strength...
...but the soldier left as Tristan was doing push ups.
Even his older brother, Noah, and the ghost of Vladislaus Straud are wondering what the heck's he doing.
Elliot followed the solider to the back alley, only to see him in a trance. He remembered seeing this happening to someone he can't recall and tried to get the soldier's attention...
...but it didn't end well.
Back in the bar, Tristan tried to seduce the other soldier, but it didn't work. Instead he bribed the soldier for 700 simoleons and was able to obtain the Infection Scanner. 'Thank Watcher for the Family lesson.'
Tristan walked out of the bar and found Elliot, looking uneasy.
"You alright there, El?"
"I'm okay," Elliot replied. "You got what you needed?"
"Yup, too easy."
Tristan tested the scanner, and a spore appeared next to him.
"Looks like we're not the only ones with plumbing problems," Tristan stated.
"You think it's funny for someone to have plants overgrow their toilet or sink?" Elliot asked.
"What? I'm just lightening up the mood," Tristan said. "I get that we're in some sort of sci-fi apocalypse with mutated plants sprouting around like weed."
"I swear, I don't see the bright side on everything like you."
[Well, this happened. Tristan was suddenly in a flirty mood and hit on Elliot, who became bashful. Starting a new relationship.]
Remembering what Brianna said about the plant in front of their house, Tristan scanned the area, only to get one spore. 'Maybe more will appear if I'm at the facility.'
Further on his investigation, he came across a rather stranger plant with a red, pulsating fruit on top.
"This is new," he said and plucked the fruit off. The plant poof back to "normal". "How did that happen? And who did it?"
@DarkAngel1994 I really like your family line up there they all have this vibe about them then gen 8 is just like this cute boy next door type.
@Keidra I'm looking forward to more updates I really like sentiments they just fit in though I think I'll have some sims I may have to ignore them on for my current sims they are nice. So can't wait to see what pops up in those families whenever you pop in again we need more Morgyn again. The tots are too cute.
Well gave out awesomes nice to see people having fun and such even though I've again fallen so behind lol. anyhoo on my test sim that isn't really a test sim anymore her name was Gemma, and now I'll have to play my usual families again to see how they feel about each other and what lifestyles they get. For now still with Gemma
This is just a nice picture.
Early the next morning she invited Haruto here over to spend time with him, she didn't bother Kado she is a big flirt like that, Haruto was disappointed she'd be leaving soon and agreed to spend the day with her.
I let her try out her snowboard I forgot I had it then there was a blizzard, and finally a nice day, I can't tell what she likes more maybe it's cause she's adventurous but leaving her unattended she switched between her board and loaner skis he came over to talk a bit but to get here you have to travel to the onsen which he seemed to prefer still he was there all the same.
I did not see Yamachan I think this one is called but the statue is super cute.
Finally it was time to go but he hung around to get some pictures.
"You won't be gone long right? You're coming back?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course I love it here, I just can't uproot my life yet."
He felt even more disappointed but put on a smile for her anyways, he wondered if she had a family there and he was just a fling, it would be his luck former kleptos get little chance again after they become normal members of society. Though he hugged her pretending he wasn't bitter over his choices.
Oh and those are the toys she got at the vending machine, they are so cute.
This is not long after Haruto left and she read a little not sure what triggered it, she was looking forward to going home so she could come back again. She kind of wanted to stay but she didn't have the money for a move not yet, she didn't want to tell him that and make it seem like she needed his money.
I touched up her apartment since she's a normal played sim now, isn't it cute?
Her adventure area so far, I never finished batuu so she's probably the sim for that and maybe she should head to Selvadorada too to dress this little spot up. I had her order the little grim doll on plopsy we're gonna pretend a local made it.
Back with Haruto, I dig that they gave function to those shoe racks it's a little thing yes but still.
It's hard being a bachelor he really really hopes she'll be back soon cause he is determined to show her she can be at home here.
With him.
Also here is an out of order pic, I thought I had captions on but didn't ugh anyways aside from liking they can move around in the hot springs I noticed something was bothering Kado, and she got sad because she's close to him and didn't want him to be sad, I'll be on the look out should I see it again she's not meant to be a female Don she really is a good girl life is just short is all. So that was sweet I let her give him a hug and he left.
Mmkay I should play, also I saw the possible work around was disabling sounds and I've been saving way more obsessively and I haven't had a crash yet but if you are try that and then try a longer play with a LOT of saving.
All the sims err'day
