Hi! Hello! I have returned to 'ze forums after... months?? I never stopped playing the family I've been playing since May so there's A LOT y'all have missed. My bad!
My legacy founders passed away of old age. Luke was in his home in Sulani so I didn't get screenshots for him. Raymie moved in with her son after losing her husband and passed away the following day. She never even got to sleep in the nice bedroom I made her!
She literally came home from work mid-shift to pass away.
At least now my two beach bums are together again...
Some family portraits. Gen 2 heir, his wife and their two gen 3 babies. Alec and Ethan aren't twins. They're about ten days apart but my lifespan is so long that they'll likely always end up in the same lifespan for a period of time. (With MCCC I set it to 18 days for toddlers, 22 days for kids, 24 days for teens, 40 days for YA and adults, 20 days for elders).
More in spoiler tags!
I also had a wedding a few days later. Aaron married his college sweetheart Eloise. It was very intimate since Luke and Raymie had just died and people were still miserable. I wanted them to marry already so I could have their honeymoon on Mt. Komorebi!
Snowy Honeymoon!
Back with the heir and his family. Thea is having a toddler playdate and getting to know other parents in the neighborhood. Five toddlers for three adults is A LOT. The two boys are Jamie and Thea's kids, and she's pregnant with the third now. The twins in the yellow and blue dresses look like they could be related to my sims but they're not.
Rosie got old. That's sad. We also "inherited" Raymie and Luke's old dog, Lady.
My sims had a birthday party for Alec, my gen 2 heir's oldest kid.
Some pregnant mamas to end the screenshot spam. Baby #3 for Thea (blonde) and Baby #1 for Eloise (brunette). Their husbands are brothers.
Glad to be back! I don't know how often I'll be popping in here... but I still post regularly over on my Tumblr. It's just tedious posting on different platforms, ya know? But anyway! I'll go and check out you guys' families now.
Well, generation 2 has been going pretty well so far. Bryn and Orlando got married, and Cynemaer married Stella (and then moved to Glimmerbrook).
As it turns out, Cecily has the Ember family-sense. Cecily rolled the whim to chat with Bryn. Bryn's down there, by the P in Paused.
We got Cecily's official family portrait fixed to reflect her proper gender, and now the wall is looking nice.
As each generation progresses, I'll find the older photos and turn them desaturated, and then to sepia, to kind of mimic the gradual loss of colour in a photo.
Cecily's aspiration rolled as Musical Genius, so Cecily has a lot of interest in music-related things. We also bought a set of earbuds specifically for her (turquoise, to match her eyes). She'll pull her guitar out at random and play a lot. Diaval doesn't seem to mind at all. Actually, neither do Avery and Freya.
Cynemaer called to chat for a bit and spread some family gossip about Drake. Oh dear.
(He's getting fat, isn't he? Sad side-effect of the sedentary lifestyle. Though, I did turn lifestyles off because the strong, incessant need to fuss with technology was making Ezio and Drake have 0 time for anything else.)
Avery and Cecily continue to get along splendidly well. Like, wow, better than I expected actually.
Cecily did indeed get the Ember resting angry face. Grrrr. I also happen to have a facial expression overlay to dampen how frequently they smile like dodos, so the Ember resting angry face is just multiplied in my game. I love it. Oh, fun trivia, Cecily has the same eyebrows Morgyn does.
So as she often does, Kaylie came over after school. And she and Freya got to flirting. Okay, it was mostly Freya doing the flirting (and no one was surprised), but then Kaylie flirted back and you'd think Freya had just won the lottery.
Look at her, dancing around in her seat like that. Omg. Too cute. They took off. And I mean they *took off*, I looked away for a few seconds and came back and their pink bar was near to capped out. How the heck??? I donno, but I've never seen Kaylie so into someone else.
Kaylie was made originally to be my alien legacy founder. She was designed similarly to Daenerys Targaryen, hence why her hair is white in alien form, and her eyes used to be purple.
(Alien!Kaylie. Her face is exactly the same in both forms, she just looks really weird with a normal skin tone. xD)
We knew her colloquially as Alien!Daenerys. She started on Oakenstead, made a decent amount of money, and then went after Paolo Rocca, who she did get along with decently well. MCCC decided it hated her, however, and gave Paolo a random baby by Katrina Caliente. He didn't even know Katrina.
Kaylie... did not take that well, however, and their relationship was never the same. She started rebuffing him all the time and I got frustrated and quit. When I played her next, she got a crush on Sofia Bjergsen and I was like, oh, I see. You do girls now. Gotcha.
Still, Freya's the first girl she's really liked. I decided Kaylie doesn't generally stay in disguise because she's terrible at not using her powers on other Sims, I got sick of her being constantly embarrassed. Well, Kaylie's only used her powers in this save on Freya (and Freya is a geek so her girlfriend being an alien was the raddest thing ever). Amazing.
With Ezio gone, and Bryn, someone had to pick up the food slack, so Cecily's been learning to cook. Actually, she's never made anything too bad. I blame Ezio's cooking for that one. Lol Anyway, Avery's vegetarian, so Cecily makes maybe one meal that's got meat in it (like ramen, usually), and then everything else is vegetarian-safe.
Shame you can't upgrade your counters to self-clean. But in the meantime, being a witch is certainly helpful. Ezio has spectral reach, and I keep being confused as to why Cecily has to get so close to it to magic at it. Hmmmm. Gee, idk.
Diaval got sick, again, so we gave him another wellness treat. We're down to three. You know how many Ezio bought? Like, 30. Omg.
Time to do the laundry! I have a mod in that makes laundry baskets hold 100 piles of laundry, which is useful in a huge household because whatever the limit is in the game by default it is not near enough for a 7 Sim household. But, now I forget about laundry a lot.
Did you know your Sim's washer can make a load of laundry come out soaked? When that happens, you need to dry it twice, because the dryer can't dry a soaked batch of clothing all the way the first time. Poor dryer.
That happened. They then became girlfriends, and woohoo'd for the first time. (No kids. Alas.) And now that they've gotten first kiss out of the way, they can't keep their hands off each other. It's amazing.
Freya: ... Cecily, isn't it a bit late to be wearing your PJs?
Cecily: Hush and listen to my corny joke.
Freya: And you're glowing, why are you glowing?
Cecily: You'll understand when you're older.
Freya: Egk, ew, I did not need to know that.
Cecily: You asked.
(She did, tbf.)
Freya's computer broke, so she turned Sparky on. Sparky fixed the computer pretty easily. c: We also changed Freya's hair.
And Avery's. It'll take some getting used to. I fiddled with Cecily's (hers is a CC hair by simstrouble that I altered the colour for to be more of a golden blonde instead of cheese-coloured), almost put her hair back to the platinum she was born with, but man it really doesn't work with her skin tone, and EA platinum tends to be greenish.
Ew.
This time Bryn called.
But it turned out she and Orlando were right over here, by the water.
Not so fun story, Orlando's based on another Sim of mine, named Jackson Reyes (he's Ethren's nephew). In several stories, Jackson has a crush on Ezio, but he's controlling and abusive and my brain Expects Orlando to be the same way. Yeah... I know. I shouldn't judge books by their covers and that.
Jacqueline was exhausted. She had no concept of time or what day it was. Winterfest had seemed so far off, but it turned out to be today. Eventually she managed to drag herself out of bed and to the closet. Winterfest was important to her mom and everyone had to look presentable, formal even. That meant Jacqueline had to dress up, fix her hair and put up some makeup.
It took her a while, but eventually she was satisfied with the way she looked. Downstairs, Lucy was already working on the Winterfest breakfast. The whole family was coming over to share a meal, open presents and generally celebrate together. Jacqueline walked in and asked if she could do anything.
The fountain hadn’t been filled up yet so it was up to Jacqueline to make sure everyone could have a nice fondue whenever they felt like it.
While they were working, Lucy shared some news with her daughter: she got the coolest new assignment. She’d be making a big announcement during breakfast later but she couldn’t wait anymore.
Jacqueline was happy for her mom. Lucy was an inspiration to her. She got a job because she wanted to, even though the family had plenty of money due to winning the lottery once upon a time, and she was having fun with it every single day. Jacqueline had her own job, but right now she was just a locker room attendant. This meant she spent a lot of time with her stepfather, Paolo, because he also worked at the Windenburg Stadium although he was the mascot. Jacqueline hoped to work up her way through the ranks and eventually get a job as an athlete.
Neal was being a good kid and set the table on his own while his mom was cooking. Juliana, Paolo and Jacqueline were all getting seated. It wouldn’t be long until Luna, Allyson and Hugo arrived to spend Winterfest with them.
Neal was done with his tasks and felt like putting a picture up on his Simstagram, so he flexed his bicep, whipped out his phone and took a selfie.
He didn’t escape ridicule though. Juliana commented that Neal didn’t have to flex his biceps because he didn’t have any. He had the tiniest arms ever.
Neal wasn’t sure what to say. He felt embarrassed, honestly. His dream was to get into the police academy, although he hadn’t shared it with anyone. His lanky, thin body was an embarrassment to him. He’d been working hard lately to get bulkier, but so far, his training hadn’t paid off yet.
Soon enough, the food was ready and Lucy called the others to the table after she served the food.
The whole family grabbed their own plate and gathered together to have a nice family meal. It had been a long time since everyone spent time together especially since relations between Hugo and Luna were still cold. Hugo wasn’t ready to spend one-on-one time with Luna but he did want to hang out with his family, so he mostly didn’t speak to Luna.
When food was mostly eaten, Lucy got up from the table and said she an announcement to make. She immediately got everyone’s attention.
The announcement was as follows: Lucy had received an assignment for a stylist job in Sulani.
And she had requested Jacqueline to be the model for the campaign.
Not so Berry : Yellow Generation update
I haven't posted about this family forever - I have actually finished yellow, grey and plum and just started Orange so I better alternate between them and Quin and Rohan.
If you can't remember yellow's goals they are:
Max rocket science skill
Finish astronaut - space ranger career
Build a rocket and use wormhole generator to go to Sixam
Master the Nerd brain aspiration.
(so besides rocket science you have to max. logic, handiness and fitness - this is one busy generation!!!)
This episode is one of a lot of goal completion _Franni the yellow sim is a very hard worker.
And she loves her family - the third child was born which now makes Slate (boy, eldest & heir) plus Dove & Cloud - girls - they all have grey skin and Slate and Dove are aliens like their Dad Akito.
Her half sister was adding to the family tree too.
Akito continued to be an excellent Dad
and cat lover
So is Franni
and all too soon it was Slate's birthday
Slate ages up:
Little Slate is the gray heir - he is already working on some of his goals eg. the basketball skill.
Franni's brother in law (Sergio's son - Bradley) continues to hold the torch for Franni.
His wife - Franni's sister - is not amused
In fact there is a big fight between Bradley and his wife and she doesn't speak to Franni until way into the next generation story. although Bradley continues to visit and crush on Franni (who never ever encourages him or shows anything but friendship.
Franni always makes it obvious where her true love lies.
This was back when the aging was glitched so poor Slate didn't age at his party.
So he aged the next day and got the "they forgot my birthday moodlet"- hence his sad face. He is very handsome but the grey hair ages him. I gave him some fun coloured plaits to try and youthen the look.
Abduction is an occupational hazard.
Because this family has aliens throughout the family tree and Franni is an Astronaut - abductions happen a lot.
Fun with screenshots.
My headcannon for Akito is he came to Earth as he wanted to get away from the Pollination technicians and the political strife over abductions etc on Sixam. He has some trauma from Sixam and this is evident in that he is an erratic sim. SO when this happened I was very upset for him....
His poor little terrified face...
I prayed he didn't get pregnant and thankfully they returned him without an extra passenger on board.
Unfortunately it triggers a lot more erratic episodes and Franni and Slate worry about him for quite a while.
Akito managed to set the kitchen on fire when lost in an erratic episode.
He tries to reassure Franni that she can focus on her work and not worry about him.
Knocking over those goals
Handiness
Franni managed to max the handiness skill
which meant that she had to visit the secret lot in Oasis Springs (Forbidden Grotto)
Franni bought Slate and Akito
At first it seemed there was nothing of interest but their eyes adjusted and they saw the beauty of the grotto - did some collecting and fishing (and obsessed over the wooden toilet thats there - I am looking at YOU Akito - that was so gross)
Astronaut/ rocket/ science
One of the goals Yellow has is to visit Sixam. I waited util the youngest was a child so she could change into alien form on her ancestral planet. (I figure the place where the earth wormhole opens is neutral territory kind of like diplomatic land where embassies are so Akito isn't afraid of visiting plus no matter the political issues , he loves and is homesick for his homeworld.
Arriving through the wormhole.
Human disguises discarded for Akito, Slate and Dove.
Franni has achieved a goal she has had since she was as young as her girls - I will forgive her this jumping up and down with enthusiasm.
Slate does a lot of collecting
The girls just explore and chat.
I hate you Batuu - how I wanted a specialised SIxam pack that actually gave us a holiday world we could live/build in. This is so beautiful but unusable - it makes me cry at the sheer waste of this lovely design.
Getting older
Super nanny Cornelius aged up - oh no.
So have Franni's friends..including Bradley
Akito was supposed to have aged but aging glitches got worse and he stayed young after his birthday
so they went out for a romantic time
Slate came but the only person who spoe to him was an adult lady (he is a teen)...
so he went to do karaoke instead - he has a singing goal.
Those level 10 fitness sims just seem to Benjamin Button their lives lol Franni looks younger now than she did as a teen.
There is not much left of the yellow gen now. Akito and Franni are happy and successful with a good family. The next update will be a hand over to Slate I think.
Cats in this game are so realistic - looks like my well trained real life cats who NEVER went on counters LOL
Oscar decided to cook something on the barbecue (I don't remember what) and managed to start a fire. Fortunately, he is a Self-Assured guy, and decided to put it out himself.
Kirsten, who was already feeling a little stressed due to a Distant phase, was now even more tense after the fire, and decided to de-stress by playing MySims Racing.
After finishing her classes for the day, Joanna decided to fix various broken things around the house, as she was the only family member with any kind of Handiness skill.
It also happened to be Spooky Day, and some of the local neighbourhood kids turned up for trick-or-treating.
Martin showed up (without me even realising) and decided to take a bath! I know he's a key holder, but even so... Once finished, Joanna took advantage of the fact that Martin was now a Young Adult and they could properly resume their romantic relationship...
Darth Vader (aka Oscar) decided that the best place to eat his plate of grilled fruit was in the bathroom.
Kirsten ate her grilled fruit in a much more sensible location... and little Lola wanted some. Unfortunately, Kirsten wasn't looking in Lola's direction, and missed the begging.
With Rocket Science being her elective class for the term, Joanna decided to put some of her theoretical knowledge to practical use... she really wanted to get it completely built and head off into space. (One thing I'd like to do is get her to level 10 and send her off to Sixam).
Whilst on a date to the Stargazer Lounge in San Myshuno, Martin and Joanna became Best Friends as well as Lovers. In front of them is L. Faba, one of the Sims who kept hanging around... Joanna became friends with her, but still...
I got my first Sentiment in this save! Now, L, will you mind GOING AWAY so I can have some romance without it being awkward? Joanna also now has the Smitten sentiment towards Martin, although he doesn't have the same back. They share the Deeply Connected one, though.
There we go. Although someone's still watching them. So nosy!
Family maid, and member of Jenny's "The Jokesters" club, Julie Rowland died. As Jenny was friendly with her, she was naturally devastated. She decided to give herself a pep talk in the mirror.
With the final day of term just a day away, Joanna decided that now was the perfect time to work on her presentation for one of her classes (I forget which). Public speaking was not her forte, but everyone has to do stuff in life that they dislike, and Joanna knew she'd feel good about herself after she'd completed it.
Presentation completed, she went to deliver it between her two exams that Friday. With little time left before her second exam, Joanna was feeling decidedly nervous. Even genius Sims got worried about exams.
Oscar celebrated his birthday, and gained the Dog Lover trait. He decided to not go to university, instead joining the Acting career directly.
Martin was, of course, delighted to move in with his girlfriend. He decided to take a job in the Astronaut career to earn money, as Joanna was a full-time student.
They went out to celebrate "Night On The Town", and Jenny evidently thought it was a good idea to host a meeting of The Jokesters!
The morning started like any other - some romantic moments
and the soccer ball addiction that they both have..
But then it was ceremony time:
Quin gets a regular degree in the Culinary arts (phew never thought that would happen - but a pass is a pass so I am not complaining).
And Rohan gets a Distinguished Degree in Psychology with an A+ average (based on his Maxis bio I think this is very true to his character and desires).
They enjoy the day
I manage to stop the romantic stuff and force them to do the graduation stuff
Even some of their Soccer team friends are there
GRRRR Rohan nearly missed his graduation due to doing this (he got his degree but not the graduation photograph when I sent him in - don't have both your sims graduate at once , it seems to be glitchy for 2).
Hooray - hats in the air
They realise they are now free to do what they want (what they do should be no surprise to anyone).
Celebration Lunch
They headed out to a restaurant to celebrate
The meal took slightly longer than expected because the waitress dropped it so they decide to entertain themselves while they wait...
The paparazzi lady got Extremely flirty - she enjoys her job way to much
I swear the sims who own the Greenway restaurant must shudder every time my sims come here - this wardrobe is irresistible to 95% of sims (for autonomous hook ups) and responsible nearly 75% of my unexpected pregnancies in games (they always seem to autonomously try for baby in it). Thankfully Quin can't have accidents at present - thank you MCC.
The fun they had must have sounded great as Quin's older brother was also there (at a different table) and decided to invite this lady into the wardrobe too.
Celebrations continue....
I really enjoy having sims who no longer have to study, write papers, do presentations and complete homework so I let them go out dancing which I am not sure they have ever done (due to Quin's previous family obligations).
I hate how celebrities are given "jobs" in the game - Quin's Grandmother (Kathlyn - the original matriarch) was assigned as the bartender. Now the bar for this lot is actually down next to the dance floor. But this lot has a VIP area - with a bar - but my VIPs use it themselves without a tender. Unfortunately, because she is a 3 star celeb - she would only tend bar in the celeb area. But really - any celeb should not be bar tending at all. Also she won't talk to Quin as they have never had any relationship in game and I had to teleport Rohan in as he is only a 1 star celeb and not famous enough to get past the bouncer.
Things got glitchy - they were chatting away but never sat together,
Rohan was still in a party mood but Quin passed out from exhaustion.
They may have had a fan free night in the VIP area but they were stalking him outside the house when they got home. (Caleb - you slept with Kathlyn and fathered 2 of Quin's Uncles - fan boying for Quin is slightly creepy).
A new chapter
At this point I wanted them to move and start anew but my build was only at this point.... (and the Paris mod was giving me difficulties)
So life continued as normal
Quin loves cooking
I love how delicious all the gourmet meals look
Because I was bored I had Rohan prank the toilet - I have never done this before in game. I thought Quin would cope because he is a goofball. (Rohan had to wait for Quin to leave the bathroom - a problem with their togetherness obsession).
I laughed my head off but Quin was not amused. Poor guy. (excuse walls down - it was the only way to get it.)
EWWWW toilet water all over me.
Thankfully, Rohan is adorable and Quin has a very calm temper.
Fame was getting annoying so I had Quin wearing his disguise in public.
Its ready...
Finally I put the effort in and their new home was ready
I had to evict the Delgatos but their lot is so beautiful.
I love the fake house in the background and the fake sims flying kites. (i wish I could live in that hose with the fancy pier thing).
Quin was told about this house by a family member - its for sale and he can't wait to show it to Rohan and see if he wants to move to Brindleton Bay.
Ryan's childhood friend and new girlfriend, Gabriela, died at his apartment. She'd gotten into a fight with his ex, (who still had feelings for Ryan and flipped out when she saw him kissing Gabriela at a Spooky Day party he'd hosted). Gabriela ended up dying of anger.
He ended up visiting her grave as he was quite distraught:
My game crashed shortly after this, however. Sooo, she's alive but I might kill her off again.

Haha. Maybe let her live as the game malfunctioned to resurrect her. Poor guy as well.
I've found a mod the the npc stand in a line at the cash register, I fell in love with that mod, it is so convinience. I had to delete the two other cash registers because I play only the bookstore.
The shell is in place, now it's time to decorate.
1932
We had a fire, the fire had no chance. In the end there were 6 family members with a fire extinguisher.
Hans had his birthday.
And after a small nose and chin surgery I've decided that he is going to be my next heir, because he came after Wilhelms line he looks very much like his father and not like his mother.
Christel is very curious and eagerly to learn.
The crush Johanna had have, died immediately after Alfred said mean words to her.
17 years old Elfriede on the other hand started her own romance with the other construction worker Werner out of sight of the others and both keep this as their secret.
Anna is now 18 years old and it's time to tell her parent that she wanted to marry Heinrich. Wilhelm agreed, he was satisfied with the work of Heinrich so he felt had Anna is in good hands with him.
Christel is very happy.
Who can't resist this cute little girl, who is happy about her toy?
They moved near her parents. Heinrich wants a simplier life without much electronics and Anna finally got warm with her daughter.
No worry, they have a nice home now and Anna is pregnant again (with twins).
Ryan's childhood friend and new girlfriend, Gabriela, died at his apartment. She'd gotten into a fight with his ex, (who still had feelings for Ryan and flipped out when she saw him kissing Gabriela at a Spooky Day party he'd hosted). Gabriela ended up dying of anger.
My game crashed shortly after this, however. Sooo, she's alive but I might kill her off again.
Haha. Maybe let her live as the game malfunctioned to resurrect her. Poor guy as well.
That's what I was thinking, lmao.
I'd very much like them to be together, so I was willing to gather the Ambrosia ingredients to bring her back. The crash helped me out, I guess.
I decided to combine Ember's rotation with the rotation where Jade and Juniper age up.
My plan is to combine their rotation into one that will bring the household to the end of the sim year. Then, I'll move onto the next household for the spring season.
I just can't make much progress while the earth elementals are toddlers. Too many adults in the household.
Avery's been taking pretty good care of the garden. Cecily goes out sometimes to help, mostly to talk to them (unsurprising) or to research a random plant. I'm glad she's got some interest in the garden at least.
Freya has one more week of being a teenager before it's time for her to age up to young adult, too.
It seems, as well, Cecily learnt to make ramen the same way Ezio does, because Freya reacts to Cecily's ramen the way everyone always reacted to Ezio's. I feel like that's an accomplishment.
Since it was the weekend, Freya asked Kaylie out on a date. They're not actually officially girlfriends yet, mostly because timing is bad.
Anyway, the good thing about dating an alien is she'll tell you how she feels. Lol
I'd say it went pretty well though. Neither of them has gotten an enamoured sentiment, but they're pretty good and well into each other.
And MCCC had good news for me!
I have it set to tell me when it decides to give relatives of the active household babies, and we'll be able to name them and stuff.
Freya got some morning gaming in on Monday, and then headed off to school.
While she was gone, this happened. Cecily did this autonomously, but Avery said yes, so we have a wedding to do eventually!
They skipped smitten and jumped straight to deeply in love.
Avery levelled her gardening skill and is now much better at weeding. This is good because it's kind of ugly when this particular garden decides to get weeds all at once and it will do that.
Cecily got a strange interest in raking the leaves. I think she just wants to be outside doing something when Avery is.
This girl practically lives here. It's kind of nice. She comes over after school a lot and eats. Made good friends with Avery.
We had the night of attack of the relatives! Cecily was thrilled at least.
And then Cynemaer came by.
And Lilith, who appears to be with child.
(Why is it with child, it sounds like... idk like an alien invaded your bedroom or something.)
Lilith actually hadn't come by since Ezio was living in a tent, so that was interesting. We are ofc distantly related to her, auncle Morgyn married Caleb.
Impromptu concert!
This is the highest number of Eisensterns we've had in the house at once in a while.
The next morning, I lost track of Cecily and Avery, and found them. Er. Occupied. xD
(No babies yet. They've autonomously run off multiple times now and still no kids. Maybe Ezio really does just catch babies easily.)
Avery's second love is the chess table.
Kaylie's been accepted into the family. Cecily rolled a chat with Kaylie whim, and she's down there by the P in Paused. Yup. I suspect Cecily rolled it the second Kaylie spawned on the map, there's a spawn point near there.
More raking the leaves. At least Avery's out there helping this time.
As an added bonus, I've started doing the written version, so if anyone's interested in reading this through the heir's eyes, you can keep up with that here. c: Happy simming!
@Lishacake LOL I love it when sims throes out crazy events like that. I hate game crashes though!
@Daravi love the interior of the bookstore and the mod seems great. Congratulations to Anna and Heinrich.
@Keidra my sims have deeply enamoured - is that same/ different from deeply in love? I am still learning all the sentiments LOL I like Auncle Morgyn as a title- suits Morgyn perfectly.
This cat was the real star of this generation. He spent 95% of his life chasing his tail. He was derpy and I adored him.
He is supposed to be a Javanese cat but I get Little Bongo vibes from him (Matt Groenig character from his Life in H@#$ cartoon - pre Simpsons (lets just say heck for the forums)
Real Javanese - I see what the animators were shooting for but I think they missed in this case
I first read this comic in the early 90s and I still find myself humming and chanting this one. LOL
Akito knows the cats are the real heroes too.
I was horrified when the female cat started throwing up.
It got really serious so I checked in MCC - what a relief she is pregnant - so my male cat can do something else besides chase his tail after all. LOL (my cats look similar but were adopted at different times, are different breeds and not related).
One of my favourite Akito and cat shots.
And a kitty arrived...only 1
Dove ages up
Another teen in the household.
Bradley tried to attend the party with his wife Rosa but Rosa stormed off - she is still not talking to Franni.
Half sister Tanisha (who grew up with Rosa ) tells off Franni.
Franni gets the adoring sentiment for nanny Cornelius
There was a lot of flirty tension in the air and I was worried Franni was going to go wildly off script for a yellow sim when she grabbed Akito and did the first autonomous romance this couple have ever done (including kissing etc - since the proposal.)
She looks amazed that he said yes.
Usually this is about as romantic as it gets for these two..
Akito brightening Franni's day
Some sort of autonomous mischief
SO off they went and had the first woohoo that I hadn't forced on them, at their child's birthday party, with all their family and friends in the next room.
The guest were not impressed
But from the look on Franni's face it was worth it (and she managed to repress those thoughts of the super nanny).
After the woohoo
Akito and Franni didn't dress in their day clothes again - just wandered around the party like this...
Bradley had been outside when it all happened - I feel so sorry for him crushing on Franni (sorry Bradley - you aren't even her fantasy choice - Cornelius beats you there)
It breaks my heart how he looks at her.
spontaneous dancing broke out
Franni came to join in
and Bradley released some of the years of frustration he had built up by doing this at Akito. Go Bradley!!!
I wouldn't swap Akito - besides maxing the writing skill, becoming level 8 of the food critic career and earning several awards - he is also the ideal house husband. The most successful spouse ever in any of my legacies - its amazing what sims achieve when they aren't preoccupied with autonomous romance.
Projects, projects and more projects
Now Franni and Akito have finally discovered autonomous romance after all these years - they just can't stop. Little Cloud is not impressed.
Cloud says she has a school project and Akito comes to help.
Slate tries to make an appearance in this update (don't worry buddy - you will have a whole generation as the main character!)
Project finished... very appropriate for the child of an astronaut and an alien.
Then Akito found Dove crying outside... she was struggling in a sloppy way with her project.
Both parents helped.
But apparently the end result was awful and Akito got a massive embarrassed moodlet from looking at this robot.
Death comes for us all..
One day Akito suddenly zapped into an elder - his birthday was a while ago - so bonus adulthood days achieved thanks to game glitches. Thank heavens because otherwise we would have lost him this episode.
It didn't change him any (please note photographic evidence of tail chasing LOL)
Except that the erratic moments and rants he was prone to reduced a lot
and he went around without his disguise a lot more often now he had retired from work
Akito with two of his career awards.
Bradley died (close to Franni as I assume he would have liked).
Rosa didn't want Franni at her husband's funeral but Franni visited his grave on the island (where her parents are buried too)
Then Cornelius (super nanny) died. Franni went to comfort his wife (she seemed a little jealous to discover a young, hot wife who had barely begun young adulthood and had 2 toddlers to raise now,) I think Franni wasn't the only one who found him adorable.
Both Franni and Akito were very sad.
They went out to dinner to take their minds off things but it didn't work.
Akito comforts Franni
Farewell Yellow gen
Franni has had a great run as the Yellow NSB sim - she achieved all her goals and aspirations. Picked a life partner that was truly excellent and was a good parent to her family. She was so different from her dad Lincoln - the Rose sim.
She and Akito look forward to seeing what their children do.
And now its time for gray to take the reins - Slate the heir will start Gray gens story next update.
@Becka28
There are two base-game enamoured sentiments, Smitten, and Deeply in Love. Then there are a few special enamoured sentiments that came in Snowy Escape. These are called First Kiss at the Festival of Light, Enchanted from a Moment in the Mountains, No Mountain High Enough for This Love, and Deeply Enamored in a Winter Wonderland. Lifestyle related enamoured sentiments are Comfortably Compatible Lifestyles and Opposite Attracted.
They're not *technically* the same thing, you get them from different events, but the tuning all references the same resources so they function the same way. But most of them will in the same category. I.E. all the close sentiments work exactly the same, they just have different coloured bows on top.
(Smitten, Enchanted from a Moment in the Mountains, Comfortably Compatible, and Opposite Attracted are short term sentiments. The rest are long term.)
And yeah lol I kinda struggled on what to use there because there aren't any gender-neutral words to use normally so I just was like yeah let's slur aunt and uncle together, perfect.
白雪夏夜我不停歇
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
@Becka28 Theses cats are amazing. I always wanted to have a bookstore, because it's a nice touch of the past. The buy from the bookcase felt so empty for me. I recently updated the store with the new books, but I still have some locked, because their times has not yet come.
Today I have finished my city hall. As I mentioned in another post somewhere in the forum I plan to replay the challenge one day in the future and I need a city hall. I made a copy of it in my actual save and now I have to update everything in it. But it's okay, no complains from my side.
Here are the pictures of the 1870's version. It has a restaurant, a big wedding room (where I have used my only moveobjects cheat at the wedding arch) and a magnificent assembly hall for the councilors. The most design I have kept simple, and did not so much decoration in the rooms.
So awesomes out I have to leave for work soon but wanted to share a little bit the kids aren't teens yet but should be coming soon when I have more time to play. @hanuel I think the festival is only bugged if your child is upset that didn't go but they should be upset if they did, like they know what it means and strangers bless them so parents should. At least I think anyhow.
Such a happy family, Brenda was randomly called to hang out at the bluffs so I had them get a babysitter and head over.
Mickey was late for whatever reason, he's just appreciating how good his wife looks ha.
After touching up the bluffs a bit I noticed koi in the pool there have they always been there? I've never them the sims couldn't fish and they were scattered in the water but cool...unless it's a glitch then it's a cool glitch I like them. I uploaded my edits if you want to get it and see if they are still there in your game.
So pretty, it's like she's taking temple offerings.
Tired of getting wet they mostly moved the party under the little area I set aside for them there is a roof there.
After eating and dancing of course the next best thing is to have a mudfight.
no matter how dressed up some of them are..heh.
After their little party I was with Elvion trying to get him pregnant and Thanksgivings popped up so I went to my other two families to have them celebrate, Rocco is here with one of his cousins, the little one and his older sister.
After trying to ignore me by chatting and hugging as they don't see each other very often I finally got them all to eat, Loren and Rocco were sneaking food to the dogs under the table cause I said it was okay lol.
I let Nico make dessert after they mostly finished eating.
It was terrible but I made them all band together to eat it since he was having some holiday gloomys.
I liked how she sort of looked back to appreciate her family she just got sentiments with all of them as she was happy to be close with happy memories she's such a doll.
As her mother rather happily cleaned up after everyone while Nico tried to make another cake I saw she had gotten sick and sent her up to bed.
Ah family....yep, still waiting for the holiday stuff to stick they had a great time but then they were sad I cancelled the holiday since they already celebrated like be happy no matter where you're celebrating.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day
Please, do not shoot the messenger, as I am NOT the only one with this issue regarding this thread.
Once upon a time, when I was active in this thread, someone posted "What happened to spoiler tags??" .
After that posters started to use those again, and this thread was easier to load.
I think that is forgotten by some posters now.
Please, remember , that not all of us have the superior internet. Last week I opened this thread and faced 2 posts with 50+ PNG pics on each (Yes I counted, when it finally loaded!!!)
Just a suggestion, It may help if folks will do like something.. Max 5 pics in thread and all the rest under spoiler tags (and yes including collabs, as those really are not helpful)
Sorry, just a suggestion.

My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Thanks for the suggestion @Ellupelluellu (I have missed reading about your sims - I got very excited when Ted showed up as a townie during my gray generation of my Not so Berry save although MCC never seems to choose Tess from my library)
I know my five pics has been sneaking out to 6 - 10 lately but I have also had trouble loading the thread when there are lots of large picture heavy posts not using spoilers. A lot of threads limit us to 2 pics so I think 5 is a generous suggestion and works well for a teaser to what is in your spoilers and to invite people to click on them.
I think also - this thread moves so quickly that suggestions about spoiler tags can get buried very quickly so new posters don't get to see it and have not been aware of this suggestion from previous posters.
I am sure people don't mind us discussing this as everyone here seems to be so lovely and I know when I first joined this thread I didn't even know how to do the spoilers so having this discussion before was really helpful to me, as a new member back then.
I have been speaking for a long time about Quin and Rohan getting engaged. They just refused to do so autonomously even though both have whims to do so and they are at Soul mate level with both being Deeply in love in their sentiments and often get Utterly enamoured as an emotion. GRR
So I decided to take matters into my own hands - and do it in a big way - therefore I downloaded Nando's Romance in Paris mod. And spent a long time decorating the world, searching for lots, modifying the lots and planning out a storyline for myself to enjoy (as usually its the element of surprise and the feeling of them being independent of me that I enjoy when its autonomous). This is a two part post - I have cut sooo much out of it and some of my builds didn't even make it into either post - I did a lovely luxury hotel suite for them which I didn't even screenshot and now I have deleted it
ALso some people offered me lots for this and for proposal purposes and I didn't use them as they didn't fit the Paris theme or didn't fit in Magnolia Promenade (where the mod works - the lots are so small there). Sorry to disappoint. I will still be using ALwaysasking's Romantic Park at a later date - it is very lovely - if you need something romantic check it out on the gallery.
When the guys had graduated Ekram visited and tried to nag Rohan into getting a job, settling down and growing up.
Quin suggested a day out in Brindleton Bay
Of course he had an ulterior motive - showing Rohan the house he wants them to buy.
They had permission to go for a swim once they finished the house tour.
This pool would win me over.
I think it won Rohan over too...
Rohan said this which was lovely in the moment - but I would have murdered them if they had proposed at this point after all the work I put in. Thankfully they didn't because a stray dog walked past and Rohan ran after it.
The poor doggy was really filthy and stinky but Rohan adored it.
Meanwhile Quin entertained himself.
Quin was not a fan of the smelly stray but if Rohan wanted it then Quin wouldn't complain. The doggo decided Quin and Rohan weren't for him and ran off. Don't worry Rohan - I will let you have a doggo soon.
When they got home - Quin refused to be romantic and didn't want to be in the same room as Rohan (a major first for this realtionship) who was absolutely covered in vile doggy smells. SO Rohan had to take care of his hygeine.
Sulani sojourn
Quin and Rohan had always planned to holiday in Sulani as a graduation celebration.
They finally found the waterfall friends had told them about.
They certainly didn't need me to tell them how to use it.
They got hungry from "exploring" the waterfall so they headed off to find some food.
Quin's fans discovered he was in Sulani and were not very subtle about watching him.
When he stopped at the food stall they all started pretending that they were just beach combing. It made me laugh.
That evening Quin revealed to Rohan that the real vacation was to Paris - he had booked it as a surpise. Rohan agreed it was a surprise but a very romantic and happy one.
Hello Paris
The guys settled into their hotel. (Lot is the Paris Cafe+ Apartment by EA ID: NataylaBondarchu )
They couldn't believe they were actually there.
They went out and did some walking tours and took lots of tourist snaps.
The lots behind Rohan are:
left front: cafe with red umbrellas: Paris coffee shop by EA ID: Agathea
left back (with dark roof pointy tower): Grande Brasserie De Paris by hellikyonos (original by ID: zegwollah2)
right back - paris cafe by NatalyaBondarchu (again)
right front: Romantic Park by EA ID: NEllieTill (original by MayKress
All these lots were incredible and worked really well for the lot type they were - i made only minor tweaks to some of the eg. adding the hotel suite so they could stay in Magnolia Promenade.
Quin gets inspired by Paris
They visited a quaint cafe for lunch (Agathea's lot)
and enjoyed eating on the terrace
Quin gazed at the park next door and was inspired to plan something really special in the park for tomorrow evening - just for Rohan.
They did some more touristing...
and then went up the Eiffel Tower
And took some romantic shots to remember this day.
I think Quin is getting nervous about what he planned...
@Ellupelluellu Don't worry, it's good to have a regulary reminder. I forget it sometimes, I'm sorry for this and I know how frustrating to have a bad Internet connections. As Becka mentioned there a many new forum users who have to learn, I have still bookmarked @Koteyka helpful hint to me about the links to the previous posts.
First dates, another housewarming, a marriage proposal, holidays, & a wedding. It's been a busy Sim week for the Reaper family. (edited for spoiler tags for easier loading, with apologies)
Hades goes on his very first date, with one of his co-workers in the comedy career, since his wife died.
Meanwhile Zoey's cousin Maribel has moved into her own place, and decides to have a small gathering.
Of course Cerise is on the guest list, and it looks like things could be progressing towards date territory. Caitlyn has also now aged up into childhood.
At some point Maribel pulls Cerise's Dad aside to get an idea of how he feels about her possibly dating his daughter. Considering Cerise previously attempted to date another Soul Reaper, Grim is totally not averse to the idea of his daughter dating an alien, who he considers a far better match.
Erishkigal and Paige arrange a date night and, considering things have been going so well for them lately, Erishkigal proposes (while a very angry bar patron fumes on, said patron will later drop dead sans reviving death flowers available so the proposal was somewhat ruined).
Grim surprises his daughter Makaria with a weekend away with her favourite fellow witchy sister, and Grim, Aislinn, Makaria, Daeria & Daeria's fiancee Larissa head off to a holiday cabin in Glimmerbrook (and I end up bulldozing the lot afterwards out of sheer frustration at the fact that the game keeps removing items I do actually own - I will have to re-download from the gallery & try again, not like getting the place exactly how I wanted it in the first place took me any time or anything *eyeroll*)
Potions and magic practice are the order of the day here.
Back home Grim spends some father daughter time with Inanna, mentoring her in piano playing, while Erishkigal and Paige plan their nuptials.
The big day arrives & members of the Reaper family & their partners gather at the Von Haunt Estate ahead of the ceremony.
Erishkigal and Paige exchange vows in front of the friends and family.

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.
Today was Halloween! The Hargroves got ready in their costumes.
The resident chef, Kali, wanted to serve something fun for breakfast. Spooky cookies, it is!
Then, they headed over to the new hotspot everyone has been talking about, a spooky club venue. All their family friends came by to party! Oddly, only Palmer was dressed in a costume.
Kaylyn decided to showcase her singing skills in a karaoke performance. Mom was super excited. By the end of it, Kaylyn needed a shower.

My legacy founders passed away of old age. Luke was in his home in Sulani so I didn't get screenshots for him. Raymie moved in with her son after losing her husband and passed away the following day. She never even got to sleep in the nice bedroom I made her!
She literally came home from work mid-shift to pass away.
At least now my two beach bums are together again...
Some family portraits. Gen 2 heir, his wife and their two gen 3 babies. Alec and Ethan aren't twins. They're about ten days apart but my lifespan is so long that they'll likely always end up in the same lifespan for a period of time. (With MCCC I set it to 18 days for toddlers, 22 days for kids, 24 days for teens, 40 days for YA and adults, 20 days for elders).
More in spoiler tags!
I also had a wedding a few days later. Aaron married his college sweetheart Eloise. It was very intimate since Luke and Raymie had just died and people were still miserable. I wanted them to marry already so I could have their honeymoon on Mt. Komorebi!
Snowy Honeymoon!
Back with the heir and his family. Thea is having a toddler playdate and getting to know other parents in the neighborhood. Five toddlers for three adults is A LOT. The two boys are Jamie and Thea's kids, and she's pregnant with the third now. The twins in the yellow and blue dresses look like they could be related to my sims but they're not.
Rosie got old. That's sad. We also "inherited" Raymie and Luke's old dog, Lady.
My sims had a birthday party for Alec, my gen 2 heir's oldest kid.
Some pregnant mamas to end the screenshot spam. Baby #3 for Thea (blonde) and Baby #1 for Eloise (brunette). Their husbands are brothers.
Glad to be back! I don't know how often I'll be popping in here... but I still post regularly over on my Tumblr. It's just tedious posting on different platforms, ya know? But anyway! I'll go and check out you guys' families now.
Start | Previous | Family Tree
Well, generation 2 has been going pretty well so far. Bryn and Orlando got married, and Cynemaer married Stella (and then moved to Glimmerbrook).
As it turns out, Cecily has the Ember family-sense. Cecily rolled the whim to chat with Bryn. Bryn's down there, by the P in Paused.
We got Cecily's official family portrait fixed to reflect her proper gender, and now the wall is looking nice.
As each generation progresses, I'll find the older photos and turn them desaturated, and then to sepia, to kind of mimic the gradual loss of colour in a photo.
Cecily's aspiration rolled as Musical Genius, so Cecily has a lot of interest in music-related things. We also bought a set of earbuds specifically for her (turquoise, to match her eyes). She'll pull her guitar out at random and play a lot. Diaval doesn't seem to mind at all. Actually, neither do Avery and Freya.
Cynemaer called to chat for a bit and spread some family gossip about Drake. Oh dear.
(He's getting fat, isn't he? Sad side-effect of the sedentary lifestyle. Though, I did turn lifestyles off because the strong, incessant need to fuss with technology was making Ezio and Drake have 0 time for anything else.)
Avery and Cecily continue to get along splendidly well. Like, wow, better than I expected actually.
Cecily did indeed get the Ember resting angry face. Grrrr. I also happen to have a facial expression overlay to dampen how frequently they smile like dodos, so the Ember resting angry face is just multiplied in my game. I love it. Oh, fun trivia, Cecily has the same eyebrows Morgyn does.
So as she often does, Kaylie came over after school. And she and Freya got to flirting. Okay, it was mostly Freya doing the flirting (and no one was surprised), but then Kaylie flirted back and you'd think Freya had just won the lottery.
Look at her, dancing around in her seat like that. Omg. Too cute. They took off. And I mean they *took off*, I looked away for a few seconds and came back and their pink bar was near to capped out. How the heck??? I donno, but I've never seen Kaylie so into someone else.
Kaylie was made originally to be my alien legacy founder. She was designed similarly to Daenerys Targaryen, hence why her hair is white in alien form, and her eyes used to be purple.
(Alien!Kaylie. Her face is exactly the same in both forms, she just looks really weird with a normal skin tone. xD)
We knew her colloquially as Alien!Daenerys. She started on Oakenstead, made a decent amount of money, and then went after Paolo Rocca, who she did get along with decently well. MCCC decided it hated her, however, and gave Paolo a random baby by Katrina Caliente. He didn't even know Katrina.
Kaylie... did not take that well, however, and their relationship was never the same. She started rebuffing him all the time and I got frustrated and quit. When I played her next, she got a crush on Sofia Bjergsen and I was like, oh, I see. You do girls now. Gotcha.
Still, Freya's the first girl she's really liked. I decided Kaylie doesn't generally stay in disguise because she's terrible at not using her powers on other Sims, I got sick of her being constantly embarrassed. Well, Kaylie's only used her powers in this save on Freya (and Freya is a geek so her girlfriend being an alien was the raddest thing ever). Amazing.
With Ezio gone, and Bryn, someone had to pick up the food slack, so Cecily's been learning to cook. Actually, she's never made anything too bad. I blame Ezio's cooking for that one. Lol Anyway, Avery's vegetarian, so Cecily makes maybe one meal that's got meat in it (like ramen, usually), and then everything else is vegetarian-safe.
Shame you can't upgrade your counters to self-clean. But in the meantime, being a witch is certainly helpful. Ezio has spectral reach, and I keep being confused as to why Cecily has to get so close to it to magic at it. Hmmmm. Gee, idk.
Diaval got sick, again, so we gave him another wellness treat. We're down to three. You know how many Ezio bought? Like, 30. Omg.
Time to do the laundry! I have a mod in that makes laundry baskets hold 100 piles of laundry, which is useful in a huge household because whatever the limit is in the game by default it is not near enough for a 7 Sim household. But, now I forget about laundry a lot.
Did you know your Sim's washer can make a load of laundry come out soaked? When that happens, you need to dry it twice, because the dryer can't dry a soaked batch of clothing all the way the first time. Poor dryer.
That happened. They then became girlfriends, and woohoo'd for the first time. (No kids. Alas.) And now that they've gotten first kiss out of the way, they can't keep their hands off each other. It's amazing.
Freya: ... Cecily, isn't it a bit late to be wearing your PJs?
Cecily: Hush and listen to my corny joke.
Freya: And you're glowing, why are you glowing?
Cecily: You'll understand when you're older.
Freya: Egk, ew, I did not need to know that.
Cecily: You asked.
(She did, tbf.)
Freya's computer broke, so she turned Sparky on. Sparky fixed the computer pretty easily. c: We also changed Freya's hair.
And Avery's. It'll take some getting used to. I fiddled with Cecily's (hers is a CC hair by simstrouble that I altered the colour for to be more of a golden blonde instead of cheese-coloured), almost put her hair back to the platinum she was born with, but man it really doesn't work with her skin tone, and EA platinum tends to be greenish.
Ew.
This time Bryn called.
But it turned out she and Orlando were right over here, by the water.
Not so fun story, Orlando's based on another Sim of mine, named Jackson Reyes (he's Ethren's nephew). In several stories, Jackson has a crush on Ezio, but he's controlling and abusive and my brain Expects Orlando to be the same way. Yeah... I know. I shouldn't judge books by their covers and that.

Stop player on player violence.
Jacqueline was exhausted. She had no concept of time or what day it was. Winterfest had seemed so far off, but it turned out to be today. Eventually she managed to drag herself out of bed and to the closet. Winterfest was important to her mom and everyone had to look presentable, formal even. That meant Jacqueline had to dress up, fix her hair and put up some makeup.
It took her a while, but eventually she was satisfied with the way she looked. Downstairs, Lucy was already working on the Winterfest breakfast. The whole family was coming over to share a meal, open presents and generally celebrate together. Jacqueline walked in and asked if she could do anything.
The fountain hadn’t been filled up yet so it was up to Jacqueline to make sure everyone could have a nice fondue whenever they felt like it.
While they were working, Lucy shared some news with her daughter: she got the coolest new assignment. She’d be making a big announcement during breakfast later but she couldn’t wait anymore.
Jacqueline was happy for her mom. Lucy was an inspiration to her. She got a job because she wanted to, even though the family had plenty of money due to winning the lottery once upon a time, and she was having fun with it every single day. Jacqueline had her own job, but right now she was just a locker room attendant. This meant she spent a lot of time with her stepfather, Paolo, because he also worked at the Windenburg Stadium although he was the mascot. Jacqueline hoped to work up her way through the ranks and eventually get a job as an athlete.
Neal was being a good kid and set the table on his own while his mom was cooking. Juliana, Paolo and Jacqueline were all getting seated. It wouldn’t be long until Luna, Allyson and Hugo arrived to spend Winterfest with them.
Neal was done with his tasks and felt like putting a picture up on his Simstagram, so he flexed his bicep, whipped out his phone and took a selfie.
He didn’t escape ridicule though. Juliana commented that Neal didn’t have to flex his biceps because he didn’t have any. He had the tiniest arms ever.
Neal wasn’t sure what to say. He felt embarrassed, honestly. His dream was to get into the police academy, although he hadn’t shared it with anyone. His lanky, thin body was an embarrassment to him. He’d been working hard lately to get bulkier, but so far, his training hadn’t paid off yet.
Soon enough, the food was ready and Lucy called the others to the table after she served the food.
The whole family grabbed their own plate and gathered together to have a nice family meal. It had been a long time since everyone spent time together especially since relations between Hugo and Luna were still cold. Hugo wasn’t ready to spend one-on-one time with Luna but he did want to hang out with his family, so he mostly didn’t speak to Luna.
When food was mostly eaten, Lucy got up from the table and said she an announcement to make. She immediately got everyone’s attention.
The announcement was as follows: Lucy had received an assignment for a stylist job in Sulani.
And she had requested Jacqueline to be the model for the campaign.
Too Good at Goodbyes forum thread
Too Good at Goodbyes blog
I haven't posted about this family forever - I have actually finished yellow, grey and plum and just started Orange so I better alternate between them and Quin and Rohan.
First episode - yellow
2nd episode - yellow
3rd episode- yellow
If you can't remember yellow's goals they are:
Max rocket science skill
Finish astronaut - space ranger career
Build a rocket and use wormhole generator to go to Sixam
Master the Nerd brain aspiration.
(so besides rocket science you have to max. logic, handiness and fitness - this is one busy generation!!!)
This episode is one of a lot of goal completion _Franni the yellow sim is a very hard worker.
And she loves her family - the third child was born which now makes Slate (boy, eldest & heir) plus Dove & Cloud - girls - they all have grey skin and Slate and Dove are aliens like their Dad Akito.
Her half sister was adding to the family tree too.
Akito continued to be an excellent Dad
and cat lover
So is Franni
and all too soon it was Slate's birthday
Slate ages up:
Franni's brother in law (Sergio's son - Bradley) continues to hold the torch for Franni.
His wife - Franni's sister - is not amused
In fact there is a big fight between Bradley and his wife and she doesn't speak to Franni until way into the next generation story. although Bradley continues to visit and crush on Franni (who never ever encourages him or shows anything but friendship.
Franni always makes it obvious where her true love lies.
This was back when the aging was glitched so poor Slate didn't age at his party.
So he aged the next day and got the "they forgot my birthday moodlet"- hence his sad face. He is very handsome but the grey hair ages him. I gave him some fun coloured plaits to try and youthen the look.
Abduction is an occupational hazard.
Fun with screenshots.
My headcannon for Akito is he came to Earth as he wanted to get away from the Pollination technicians and the political strife over abductions etc on Sixam. He has some trauma from Sixam and this is evident in that he is an erratic sim. SO when this happened I was very upset for him....
His poor little terrified face...
I prayed he didn't get pregnant and thankfully they returned him without an extra passenger on board.
Unfortunately it triggers a lot more erratic episodes and Franni and Slate worry about him for quite a while.
Akito managed to set the kitchen on fire when lost in an erratic episode.
He tries to reassure Franni that she can focus on her work and not worry about him.
Knocking over those goals
Handiness
which meant that she had to visit the secret lot in Oasis Springs (Forbidden Grotto)
Franni bought Slate and Akito
At first it seemed there was nothing of interest but their eyes adjusted and they saw the beauty of the grotto - did some collecting and fishing (and obsessed over the wooden toilet thats there - I am looking at YOU Akito - that was so gross)
Arriving through the wormhole.
Human disguises discarded for Akito, Slate and Dove.
Franni has achieved a goal she has had since she was as young as her girls - I will forgive her this jumping up and down with enthusiasm.
Slate does a lot of collecting
The girls just explore and chat.
I hate you Batuu - how I wanted a specialised SIxam pack that actually gave us a holiday world we could live/build in. This is so beautiful but unusable - it makes me cry at the sheer waste of this lovely design.
Getting older
So have Franni's friends..including Bradley
Akito was supposed to have aged but aging glitches got worse and he stayed young after his birthday
so they went out for a romantic time
Slate came but the only person who spoe to him was an adult lady (he is a teen)...
so he went to do karaoke instead - he has a singing goal.
Those level 10 fitness sims just seem to Benjamin Button their lives lol Franni looks younger now than she did as a teen.
There is not much left of the yellow gen now. Akito and Franni are happy and successful with a good family. The next update will be a hand over to Slate I think.
Cats in this game are so realistic - looks like my well trained real life cats who NEVER went on counters LOL
Kirsten, who was already feeling a little stressed due to a Distant phase, was now even more tense after the fire, and decided to de-stress by playing MySims Racing.
After finishing her classes for the day, Joanna decided to fix various broken things around the house, as she was the only family member with any kind of Handiness skill.
It also happened to be Spooky Day, and some of the local neighbourhood kids turned up for trick-or-treating.
Martin showed up (without me even realising) and decided to take a bath! I know he's a key holder, but even so... Once finished, Joanna took advantage of the fact that Martin was now a Young Adult and they could properly resume their romantic relationship...
Darth Vader (aka Oscar) decided that the best place to eat his plate of grilled fruit was in the bathroom.
Kirsten ate her grilled fruit in a much more sensible location... and little Lola wanted some. Unfortunately, Kirsten wasn't looking in Lola's direction, and missed the begging.
With Rocket Science being her elective class for the term, Joanna decided to put some of her theoretical knowledge to practical use... she really wanted to get it completely built and head off into space. (One thing I'd like to do is get her to level 10 and send her off to Sixam).
Whilst on a date to the Stargazer Lounge in San Myshuno, Martin and Joanna became Best Friends as well as Lovers. In front of them is L. Faba, one of the Sims who kept hanging around... Joanna became friends with her, but still...
I got my first Sentiment in this save! Now, L, will you mind GOING AWAY so I can have some romance without it being awkward? Joanna also now has the Smitten sentiment towards Martin, although he doesn't have the same back. They share the Deeply Connected one, though.
There we go. Although someone's still watching them. So nosy!
Family maid, and member of Jenny's "The Jokesters" club, Julie Rowland died. As Jenny was friendly with her, she was naturally devastated. She decided to give herself a pep talk in the mirror.
With the final day of term just a day away, Joanna decided that now was the perfect time to work on her presentation for one of her classes (I forget which). Public speaking was not her forte, but everyone has to do stuff in life that they dislike, and Joanna knew she'd feel good about herself after she'd completed it.
Presentation completed, she went to deliver it between her two exams that Friday. With little time left before her second exam, Joanna was feeling decidedly nervous. Even genius Sims got worried about exams.
Oscar celebrated his birthday, and gained the Dog Lover trait. He decided to not go to university, instead joining the Acting career directly.
Martin was, of course, delighted to move in with his girlfriend. He decided to take a job in the Astronaut career to earn money, as Joanna was a full-time student.
They went out to celebrate "Night On The Town", and Jenny evidently thought it was a good idea to host a meeting of The Jokesters!

Graduation is finally here
The morning started like any other - some romantic moments
and the soccer ball addiction that they both have..
But then it was ceremony time:
Quin gets a regular degree in the Culinary arts (phew never thought that would happen - but a pass is a pass so I am not complaining).
And Rohan gets a Distinguished Degree in Psychology with an A+ average (based on his Maxis bio I think this is very true to his character and desires).
They enjoy the day
I manage to stop the romantic stuff and force them to do the graduation stuff
Even some of their Soccer team friends are there
GRRRR Rohan nearly missed his graduation due to doing this (he got his degree but not the graduation photograph when I sent him in - don't have both your sims graduate at once , it seems to be glitchy for 2).
Hooray - hats in the air
They realise they are now free to do what they want (what they do should be no surprise to anyone).
Celebration Lunch
The meal took slightly longer than expected because the waitress dropped it so they decide to entertain themselves while they wait...
The paparazzi lady got Extremely flirty - she enjoys her job way to much
I swear the sims who own the Greenway restaurant must shudder every time my sims come here - this wardrobe is irresistible to 95% of sims (for autonomous hook ups) and responsible nearly 75% of my unexpected pregnancies in games (they always seem to autonomously try for baby in it). Thankfully Quin can't have accidents at present - thank you MCC.
The fun they had must have sounded great as Quin's older brother was also there (at a different table) and decided to invite this lady into the wardrobe too.
Celebrations continue....
I hate how celebrities are given "jobs" in the game - Quin's Grandmother (Kathlyn - the original matriarch) was assigned as the bartender. Now the bar for this lot is actually down next to the dance floor. But this lot has a VIP area - with a bar - but my VIPs use it themselves without a tender. Unfortunately, because she is a 3 star celeb - she would only tend bar in the celeb area. But really - any celeb should not be bar tending at all. Also she won't talk to Quin as they have never had any relationship in game and I had to teleport Rohan in as he is only a 1 star celeb and not famous enough to get past the bouncer.
Things got glitchy - they were chatting away but never sat together,
Rohan was still in a party mood but Quin passed out from exhaustion.
They may have had a fan free night in the VIP area but they were stalking him outside the house when they got home. (Caleb - you slept with Kathlyn and fathered 2 of Quin's Uncles - fan boying for Quin is slightly creepy).
A new chapter
So life continued as normal
Quin loves cooking
I love how delicious all the gourmet meals look
Because I was bored I had Rohan prank the toilet - I have never done this before in game. I thought Quin would cope because he is a goofball. (Rohan had to wait for Quin to leave the bathroom - a problem with their togetherness obsession).
I laughed my head off but Quin was not amused. Poor guy. (excuse walls down - it was the only way to get it.)
EWWWW toilet water all over me.
Thankfully, Rohan is adorable and Quin has a very calm temper.
Fame was getting annoying so I had Quin wearing his disguise in public.
Its ready...
I had to evict the Delgatos but their lot is so beautiful.
I love the fake house in the background and the fake sims flying kites. (i wish I could live in that hose with the fancy pier thing).
Quin was told about this house by a family member - its for sale and he can't wait to show it to Rohan and see if he wants to move to Brindleton Bay.
He ended up visiting her grave as he was quite distraught:
My game crashed shortly after this, however. Sooo, she's alive but I might kill her off again.
I've found a mod the the npc stand in a line at the cash register, I fell in love with that mod, it is so convinience. I had to delete the two other cash registers because I play only the bookstore.
The shell is in place, now it's time to decorate.
1932
We had a fire, the fire had no chance. In the end there were 6 family members with a fire extinguisher.
And after a small nose and chin surgery I've decided that he is going to be my next heir, because he came after Wilhelms line he looks very much like his father and not like his mother.
Christel is very curious and eagerly to learn.
The crush Johanna had have, died immediately after Alfred said mean words to her.
17 years old Elfriede on the other hand started her own romance with the other construction worker Werner out of sight of the others and both keep this as their secret.
Anna is now 18 years old and it's time to tell her parent that she wanted to marry Heinrich. Wilhelm agreed, he was satisfied with the work of Heinrich so he felt had Anna is in good hands with him.
Christel is very happy.
Who can't resist this cute little girl, who is happy about her toy?
They moved near her parents. Heinrich wants a simplier life without much electronics and Anna finally got warm with her daughter.
No worry, they have a nice home now and Anna is pregnant again (with twins).
I'd very much like them to be together, so I was willing to gather the Ambrosia ingredients to bring her back. The crash helped me out, I guess.
My plan is to combine their rotation into one that will bring the household to the end of the sim year. Then, I'll move onto the next household for the spring season.
I just can't make much progress while the earth elementals are toddlers. Too many adults in the household.
Start | Previous | Family Tree
Avery's been taking pretty good care of the garden. Cecily goes out sometimes to help, mostly to talk to them (unsurprising) or to research a random plant. I'm glad she's got some interest in the garden at least.
Freya has one more week of being a teenager before it's time for her to age up to young adult, too.
It seems, as well, Cecily learnt to make ramen the same way Ezio does, because Freya reacts to Cecily's ramen the way everyone always reacted to Ezio's. I feel like that's an accomplishment.
Since it was the weekend, Freya asked Kaylie out on a date. They're not actually officially girlfriends yet, mostly because timing is bad.
Anyway, the good thing about dating an alien is she'll tell you how she feels. Lol
I'd say it went pretty well though. Neither of them has gotten an enamoured sentiment, but they're pretty good and well into each other.
And MCCC had good news for me!
I have it set to tell me when it decides to give relatives of the active household babies, and we'll be able to name them and stuff.
Freya got some morning gaming in on Monday, and then headed off to school.
While she was gone, this happened. Cecily did this autonomously, but Avery said yes, so we have a wedding to do eventually!
They skipped smitten and jumped straight to deeply in love.
Avery levelled her gardening skill and is now much better at weeding. This is good because it's kind of ugly when this particular garden decides to get weeds all at once and it will do that.
Cecily got a strange interest in raking the leaves. I think she just wants to be outside doing something when Avery is.
This girl practically lives here. It's kind of nice. She comes over after school a lot and eats. Made good friends with Avery.
We had the night of attack of the relatives! Cecily was thrilled at least.
And then Cynemaer came by.
And Lilith, who appears to be with child.
(Why is it with child, it sounds like... idk like an alien invaded your bedroom or something.)
Lilith actually hadn't come by since Ezio was living in a tent, so that was interesting. We are ofc distantly related to her, auncle Morgyn married Caleb.
Impromptu concert!
This is the highest number of Eisensterns we've had in the house at once in a while.
The next morning, I lost track of Cecily and Avery, and found them. Er. Occupied. xD
(No babies yet. They've autonomously run off multiple times now and still no kids. Maybe Ezio really does just catch babies easily.)
Avery's second love is the chess table.
Kaylie's been accepted into the family. Cecily rolled a chat with Kaylie whim, and she's down there by the P in Paused. Yup. I suspect Cecily rolled it the second Kaylie spawned on the map, there's a spawn point near there.
More raking the leaves. At least Avery's out there helping this time.
As an added bonus, I've started doing the written version, so if anyone's interested in reading this through the heir's eyes, you can keep up with that here. c: Happy simming!

Update: Chapter Nine: Time Flies By
@Daravi love the interior of the bookstore and the mod seems great. Congratulations to Anna and Heinrich.
@Keidra my sims have deeply enamoured - is that same/ different from deeply in love? I am still learning all the sentiments LOL I like Auncle Morgyn as a title- suits Morgyn perfectly.
Not so Berry - Yellow Gen.
previous update
Franni in her work uniform
This cat was the real star of this generation. He spent 95% of his life chasing his tail. He was derpy and I adored him.
Real Javanese - I see what the animators were shooting for but I think they missed in this case
I first read this comic in the early 90s and I still find myself humming and chanting this one. LOL
Akito knows the cats are the real heroes too.
I was horrified when the female cat started throwing up.
It got really serious so I checked in MCC - what a relief she is pregnant - so my male cat can do something else besides chase his tail after all. LOL (my cats look similar but were adopted at different times, are different breeds and not related).
One of my favourite Akito and cat shots.
And a kitty arrived...only 1
Dove ages up
Bradley tried to attend the party with his wife Rosa but Rosa stormed off - she is still not talking to Franni.
Half sister Tanisha (who grew up with Rosa ) tells off Franni.
Franni gets the adoring sentiment for nanny Cornelius
There was a lot of flirty tension in the air and I was worried Franni was going to go wildly off script for a yellow sim when she grabbed Akito and did the first autonomous romance this couple have ever done (including kissing etc - since the proposal.)
She looks amazed that he said yes.
Usually this is about as romantic as it gets for these two..
Akito brightening Franni's day
Some sort of autonomous mischief
SO off they went and had the first woohoo that I hadn't forced on them, at their child's birthday party, with all their family and friends in the next room.
The guest were not impressed
But from the look on Franni's face it was worth it (and she managed to repress those thoughts of the super nanny).
After the woohoo
Bradley had been outside when it all happened - I feel so sorry for him crushing on Franni (sorry Bradley - you aren't even her fantasy choice - Cornelius beats you there)
It breaks my heart how he looks at her.
spontaneous dancing broke out
Franni came to join in
and Bradley released some of the years of frustration he had built up by doing this at Akito. Go Bradley!!!
I wouldn't swap Akito - besides maxing the writing skill, becoming level 8 of the food critic career and earning several awards - he is also the ideal house husband. The most successful spouse ever in any of my legacies - its amazing what sims achieve when they aren't preoccupied with autonomous romance.
Projects, projects and more projects
Cloud says she has a school project and Akito comes to help.
Slate tries to make an appearance in this update (don't worry buddy - you will have a whole generation as the main character!)
Project finished... very appropriate for the child of an astronaut and an alien.
Then Akito found Dove crying outside... she was struggling in a sloppy way with her project.
Both parents helped.
But apparently the end result was awful and Akito got a massive embarrassed moodlet from looking at this robot.
Death comes for us all..
It didn't change him any (please note photographic evidence of tail chasing LOL)
Except that the erratic moments and rants he was prone to reduced a lot
and he went around without his disguise a lot more often now he had retired from work
Akito with two of his career awards.
Bradley died (close to Franni as I assume he would have liked).
Rosa didn't want Franni at her husband's funeral but Franni visited his grave on the island (where her parents are buried too)
Then Cornelius (super nanny) died. Franni went to comfort his wife (she seemed a little jealous to discover a young, hot wife who had barely begun young adulthood and had 2 toddlers to raise now,) I think Franni wasn't the only one who found him adorable.
Both Franni and Akito were very sad.
They went out to dinner to take their minds off things but it didn't work.
Akito comforts Franni
Farewell Yellow gen
She and Akito look forward to seeing what their children do.
And now its time for gray to take the reins - Slate the heir will start Gray gens story next update.
There are two base-game enamoured sentiments, Smitten, and Deeply in Love. Then there are a few special enamoured sentiments that came in Snowy Escape. These are called First Kiss at the Festival of Light, Enchanted from a Moment in the Mountains, No Mountain High Enough for This Love, and Deeply Enamored in a Winter Wonderland. Lifestyle related enamoured sentiments are Comfortably Compatible Lifestyles and Opposite Attracted.
They're not *technically* the same thing, you get them from different events, but the tuning all references the same resources so they function the same way. But most of them will in the same category. I.E. all the close sentiments work exactly the same, they just have different coloured bows on top.
(Smitten, Enchanted from a Moment in the Mountains, Comfortably Compatible, and Opposite Attracted are short term sentiments. The rest are long term.)
And yeah lol I kinda struggled on what to use there because there aren't any gender-neutral words to use normally so I just was like yeah let's slur aunt and uncle together, perfect.

Today I have finished my city hall. As I mentioned in another post somewhere in the forum I plan to replay the challenge one day in the future and I need a city hall. I made a copy of it in my actual save and now I have to update everything in it. But it's okay, no complains from my side.
Here are the pictures of the 1870's version. It has a restaurant, a big wedding room (where I have used my only moveobjects cheat at the wedding arch) and a magnificent assembly hall for the councilors. The most design I have kept simple, and did not so much decoration in the rooms.
Backside
Basement
Ground floor
first floor
second floor
third floor (under the roof)
@hanuel I think the festival is only bugged if your child is upset that didn't go but they should be upset if they did, like they know what it means and strangers bless them so parents should. At least I think anyhow.
Such a happy family, Brenda was randomly called to hang out at the bluffs so I had them get a babysitter and head over.
Mickey was late for whatever reason, he's just appreciating how good his wife looks ha.
After touching up the bluffs a bit I noticed koi in the pool there have they always been there? I've never them the sims couldn't fish and they were scattered in the water but cool...unless it's a glitch then it's a cool glitch I like them. I uploaded my edits if you want to get it and see if they are still there in your game.
So pretty, it's like she's taking temple offerings.
Tired of getting wet they mostly moved the party under the little area I set aside for them there is a roof there.
After eating and dancing of course the next best thing is to have a mudfight.
no matter how dressed up some of them are..heh.
After their little party I was with Elvion trying to get him pregnant and Thanksgivings popped up so I went to my other two families to have them celebrate, Rocco is here with one of his cousins, the little one and his older sister.
After trying to ignore me by chatting and hugging as they don't see each other very often I finally got them all to eat, Loren and Rocco were sneaking food to the dogs under the table cause I said it was okay lol.
I let Nico make dessert after they mostly finished eating.
It was terrible but I made them all band together to eat it since he was having some holiday gloomys.
I liked how she sort of looked back to appreciate her family she just got sentiments with all of them as she was happy to be close with happy memories she's such a doll.
As her mother rather happily cleaned up after everyone while Nico tried to make another cake I saw she had gotten sick and sent her up to bed.
Ah family....yep, still waiting for the holiday stuff to stick they had a great time but then they were sad I cancelled the holiday since they already celebrated like be happy no matter where you're celebrating.
All the sims err'day
Please, do not shoot the messenger, as I am NOT the only one with this issue regarding this thread.
Once upon a time, when I was active in this thread, someone posted "What happened to spoiler tags??" .
After that posters started to use those again, and this thread was easier to load.
I think that is forgotten by some posters now.
Please, remember , that not all of us have the superior internet. Last week I opened this thread and faced 2 posts with 50+ PNG pics on each (Yes I counted, when it finally loaded!!!)
Just a suggestion, It may help if folks will do like something.. Max 5 pics in thread and all the rest under spoiler tags (and yes including collabs, as those really are not helpful)
Sorry, just a suggestion.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I know my five pics has been sneaking out to 6 - 10 lately but I have also had trouble loading the thread when there are lots of large picture heavy posts not using spoilers. A lot of threads limit us to 2 pics so I think 5 is a generous suggestion and works well for a teaser to what is in your spoilers and to invite people to click on them.
I think also - this thread moves so quickly that suggestions about spoiler tags can get buried very quickly so new posters don't get to see it and have not been aware of this suggestion from previous posters.
I am sure people don't mind us discussing this as everyone here seems to be so lovely and I know when I first joined this thread I didn't even know how to do the spoilers so having this discussion before was really helpful to me, as a new member back then.
Quin & Rohan update
previous update
I have been speaking for a long time about Quin and Rohan getting engaged. They just refused to do so autonomously even though both have whims to do so and they are at Soul mate level with both being Deeply in love in their sentiments and often get Utterly enamoured as an emotion. GRR
So I decided to take matters into my own hands - and do it in a big way - therefore I downloaded Nando's Romance in Paris mod. And spent a long time decorating the world, searching for lots, modifying the lots and planning out a storyline for myself to enjoy (as usually its the element of surprise and the feeling of them being independent of me that I enjoy when its autonomous). This is a two part post - I have cut sooo much out of it and some of my builds didn't even make it into either post - I did a lovely luxury hotel suite for them which I didn't even screenshot and now I have deleted it
ALso some people offered me lots for this and for proposal purposes and I didn't use them as they didn't fit the Paris theme or didn't fit in Magnolia Promenade (where the mod works - the lots are so small there). Sorry to disappoint. I will still be using ALwaysasking's Romantic Park at a later date - it is very lovely - if you need something romantic check it out on the gallery.
When the guys had graduated Ekram visited and tried to nag Rohan into getting a job, settling down and growing up.
Quin suggested a day out in Brindleton Bay
Of course he had an ulterior motive - showing Rohan the house he wants them to buy.
They had permission to go for a swim once they finished the house tour.
This pool would win me over.
I think it won Rohan over too...
Rohan said this which was lovely in the moment - but I would have murdered them if they had proposed at this point after all the work I put in. Thankfully they didn't because a stray dog walked past and Rohan ran after it.
The poor doggy was really filthy and stinky but Rohan adored it.
Meanwhile Quin entertained himself.
Quin was not a fan of the smelly stray but if Rohan wanted it then Quin wouldn't complain. The doggo decided Quin and Rohan weren't for him and ran off. Don't worry Rohan - I will let you have a doggo soon.
When they got home - Quin refused to be romantic and didn't want to be in the same room as Rohan (a major first for this realtionship) who was absolutely covered in vile doggy smells. SO Rohan had to take care of his hygeine.
Sulani sojourn
They finally found the waterfall friends had told them about.
They certainly didn't need me to tell them how to use it.
They got hungry from "exploring" the waterfall so they headed off to find some food.
Quin's fans discovered he was in Sulani and were not very subtle about watching him.
When he stopped at the food stall they all started pretending that they were just beach combing. It made me laugh.
That evening Quin revealed to Rohan that the real vacation was to Paris - he had booked it as a surpise. Rohan agreed it was a surprise but a very romantic and happy one.
Hello Paris
They couldn't believe they were actually there.
They went out and did some walking tours and took lots of tourist snaps.
The lots behind Rohan are:
left front: cafe with red umbrellas: Paris coffee shop by EA ID: Agathea
left back (with dark roof pointy tower): Grande Brasserie De Paris by hellikyonos (original by ID: zegwollah2)
right back - paris cafe by NatalyaBondarchu (again)
right front: Romantic Park by EA ID: NEllieTill (original by MayKress
All these lots were incredible and worked really well for the lot type they were - i made only minor tweaks to some of the eg. adding the hotel suite so they could stay in Magnolia Promenade.
Quin gets inspired by Paris
and enjoyed eating on the terrace
Quin gazed at the park next door and was inspired to plan something really special in the park for tomorrow evening - just for Rohan.
They did some more touristing...
and then went up the Eiffel Tower
And took some romantic shots to remember this day.
I think Quin is getting nervous about what he planned...
Hades goes on his very first date, with one of his co-workers in the comedy career, since his wife died.
Meanwhile Zoey's cousin Maribel has moved into her own place, and decides to have a small gathering.
Of course Cerise is on the guest list, and it looks like things could be progressing towards date territory. Caitlyn has also now aged up into childhood.
At some point Maribel pulls Cerise's Dad aside to get an idea of how he feels about her possibly dating his daughter. Considering Cerise previously attempted to date another Soul Reaper, Grim is totally not averse to the idea of his daughter dating an alien, who he considers a far better match.
Erishkigal and Paige arrange a date night and, considering things have been going so well for them lately, Erishkigal proposes (while a very angry bar patron fumes on, said patron will later drop dead sans reviving death flowers available so the proposal was somewhat ruined).
Grim surprises his daughter Makaria with a weekend away with her favourite fellow witchy sister, and Grim, Aislinn, Makaria, Daeria & Daeria's fiancee Larissa head off to a holiday cabin in Glimmerbrook (and I end up bulldozing the lot afterwards out of sheer frustration at the fact that the game keeps removing items I do actually own - I will have to re-download from the gallery & try again, not like getting the place exactly how I wanted it in the first place took me any time or anything *eyeroll*)
Potions and magic practice are the order of the day here.
Back home Grim spends some father daughter time with Inanna, mentoring her in piano playing, while Erishkigal and Paige plan their nuptials.
The big day arrives & members of the Reaper family & their partners gather at the Von Haunt Estate ahead of the ceremony.
Erishkigal and Paige exchange vows in front of the friends and family.
Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.

The resident chef, Kali, wanted to serve something fun for breakfast. Spooky cookies, it is!
Then, they headed over to the new hotspot everyone has been talking about, a spooky club venue. All their family friends came by to party! Oddly, only Palmer was dressed in a costume.
Kaylyn decided to showcase her singing skills in a karaoke performance. Mom was super excited. By the end of it, Kaylyn needed a shower.
All in all, a pretty successful Halloween.
