    @Emily4331 Veronika looks adorable in that hair and the horns double the cuteness!
    Vlad passed up Kimberly for Aria? :o Silly boy! Even though he looks handsome with his makeover, I could never pass up Beau! <3

    I feel the same way about my sister <3

    Thank you!

    @Turjan Thanks so much. I had fun making the girls and hope it will be fun watching them in the game.
    I tell you, with all the testing I'm doing that mascot gets on my nerves. I should look for a mod to stop him from popping into my sims houses. Especially since the next things I'm building/fixing are the houses for the sims and I will tests them too.
    It amazes me what some folks use as texture for clothes and some seems to look really good, but that wicker didn't quite work for me. :grin:
    Elesabeti II lost a bunch of weight!
    Intersting outfit the poor guy got!

    @Puddinroy hey!

    @GraceyManor The capt certainly has a sad story.
    Carolyn has a soft heart. I kinda thought she would run from him. :grin:
    That house needs to have all the plumbing reworked.

    @ZhakiraP yep, was off Sunday and played a little but had to catch up on house stuff too, which is boring! I've already told them I cannot work this weekend. :grin:
    Is Joachim trying to see how many times she will die and be revived by grim?
    The men in that family are certainly keeping Grm busy!
    The kid looks really ticked off.
    Joachim better hide the silverwear.

    @Silverofdreams30 Congrats to Liz on more babies. :smiley: She a cutie!
    Good luck with the prep and taking the exam again!
    Your oasis pics look super. I think I like the original look on the descendant best because I love that outfit! :grin:

    @Tamijo I enjoyed the update. Comments on your thread.

    @emorrill hehe, not bad, there are lots of deco items in the game and they are hard to find too!
    Thank you for the comment on the girls. :smiley:
    It can be fun to send your sims on a date to a casino.

    @Karritz I love decorating with the fancy eggs they find too!

    @AlexaKry Update! Will comment on your thread.

    @Brandontaylor Good luck with the reinstall. Looks like you had some fun anyways. :grin:

    @Emily4331 Veronika is gorgeous and your pics are perfect. She would fit right into my fantasy world. :grin:
    Vlad is cute with his makeover but you can't always fix stupid ya know? :grin: And yeah, Beau is cuter. :love:

    Thank you already for the comments.
    Hmm, I guess my last post image was not well presented. This guy here:
    4KvsSRQ.jpg
    That wasn't Robert-Michel, that was the stylist at the Royal Fashion Center. The family simply decided to give his services a pass, as there were some reservations uttered.

    Also, several of you, like @emorrill or @bekkasan have mentioned that the wicker texture doesn't work for you. I can understand that, it didn't work for me, either, when I first met this kind of dress in Rflong's Manave Isles. Now I was curious what this was actually meant to represent. Let's take a look at a pic of these three gentlemen from Samoa:
    Three_Samoan_chiefs_including_two_orators_-_unknown_photographer_and_date.jpg
    If we disregard the pieces of standard clothing, the two outer gentlemen wear clothing pieces of barkcloth, called Tapa cloth, which is made from the inner bark of some kind of mulberry tree. The outer bark is removed and the inner bark is softened and hammered into some large but thin and flexible piece of material, which is painted and worn as clothing. Now, the center guy is the more relevant here, as he wears a so-called ʻie tōga. That's woven from thin strips of one side of the leaves of some kind of pandanus tree. Everyday dresses only cover the lower body, while formal dresses are larger. Here's a rather coarse funeral dress from Tonga (wedding dresses use finer weaves and feathers):
    Funeral_mat.jpg
    The material for the ʻie tōga looks more like this in a close-up:
    Samoa_traditional_mat.jpg
    I think there is one material in the wicker/weave section that matches this kind of "cloth" much better, so I may use this in some future clothes. I don't think I will change all those the sims already wear though.
    Hmm, now I think how that tartan kilt would look with this material. Probably silly ;-).
    More comments later.

    Been busy with work again so only made it to Ambitions. I’ve just been doing installations before and after.
  • TurjanTurjan Posts: 1,713 Member
    I'm much too tired today, but had to look at the other pattern. And that kilt doesn't look as atrocious as I thought it would.
    ZhcAnMo.jpg
    Of course, there are also the pants from that set as alternative.
    Ho8qD3U.jpg
    Looks probably better with some darker skin.
    Anyway, I'm a completely tired today, so I'll push the comments to tomorrow.

    Claymore: I swear I am!
    Daniel: Then act like it.

    Daniel: We'll start with basic running in place.
    Claymore: Oh no! I can't do that..

    our champion?

    Daniel: I decided not to make claymore do it...
    And let the town keep the set.
    Carolyn: You're actually being nice to Claymore? Captain what's wrong
    with you?
    Daniel: Nothing at all my dear, it meant a good deal to Candy is all.

    @Silverofdreams30 :
    drSXS4b.jpg

    Oasis Landing is a beautiful world
    It is and this picture is beautiful.
    With your pictures you´ve encouraged me to travel to the future, too.
    Since I have ITF (when it came out) I´ve visited the future maybe 2 or 3 times. It´s time to try it out again!
    What eyes do you have, the blue eyes on your Sims look great! (I like blue eyes, :D )



    @emorrill : at least I´ve tried to convince you to write your story in comic style :D
    I´ve got a question to your story: you´ve created your story on Stardew Valley characters and you´ve said that the reader doesn´t need to know SDV. So can I interpret the wizzard as the player who plays the Sims?
    Furthermore I want to know if you play the game and let the Sims decide what to do or do you use them "just" to tell your story and place them where you want them to be? (that is interesting to know for me how other writers approach their stories! And it has nothing to do on how you play or "not"!!!!)
    Oh, and I still stand to my decision that I like Alex and Sebastian the most! :D

    Ahh yes, poor Travis! When I´ve wrote his story I didn´t know how far I could get with the discription of his bad situation, because this abuse happens to so many (much too many) children and teens and I didn´t want anybody here on the forums feel bad while reading my story, which began as a totally harmless and fun one.
    Moreover Travis has to deal not only with domestic violence but with his orientation. Where he doesn´t have any help how to deal with in a world which isn´t ready yet to accept different orientations.
    For me it is much easier tro write about domestic violence than how to find the own orientation identity, I hope I find a not too unrealistic approach and one which isn´t full of stereotypes....



    @Brandontaylor : happy to see that you can play again, even if you haven´t dowloaded all your EPs and SPs and such!
    Wow, Claire lost her weight very fast!! :o
    Do you have NRaas mods in already?
    :D this is so Jared and Conner: playing video games while having a visitor!



    @Emily4331 : hi there!
    LOL, all your beautiful work on her doesn´t come to shine when she pulls faces and shows her personality, hm??? :D (btw, she is beautiful and I like her more in this outfit and hair)
    [img]https://i.imgur.com/cR4Ap1U.png[/img]
    
    Sorry Emily, but your picture is just shown like this when I try to quote it....


    @Puddinroy : hi you! How is it in your part of the world? Fine or more soso?

    Hey everyone. :) I present the next part of Chapter 14. Enjoy! :blush:


    Pelican Town to Sims Town
    Continuation of Chapter 14


    Meanwhile, while Harvey had been conversing with Abigail, Alex popped into Harvey’s room; the door was open.

    Maru didn’t even acknowledge his presence as she was busy running some tests on a cockroach, but that was alright with Alex at the moment. He had no problem getting himself up there to approach her, but once he saw her, his feet glued themselves to the floor and he could feel his throat constricting. Why is this so hard? He tugged at his shirt collar. Just go up to her and find a way to ask why she told Haley that you beat her at soccer? It’s not like you’re climbing Stardew Peak or something! Quit being a wu'ss!

    He could almost feel someone kicking his butt toward her direction, so he threw on his macho voice and greeted, “Hey Maru.”
    She only glanced at him for a second, before returning her eyes to the computer screen. “Hey.”
    “Working on something again?”
    “Yep.”
    “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

    51131950622_ccde51b870_c.jpg

    She sighed, before turning to the microscope and carefully studying the effects of the treatment on the cockroach. “Not really, honestly. This has actually been quite fun and rewarding helping Harvey with all this medical stuff. I’m learning a lot.”
    Like there’s much more you need to learn..., he thought. “Cool. What I’m trying to say is, would it kill you to just not show up here one morning, or two, and do whatever the h*** you want to do? Enjoy your time in this world.”
    “I am doing what I want to do.” Mostly.
    He slipped his hands into his pockets, unconvinced. “Really?”
    “Yes!” she stressed, her attention shifting to the machine popping out the compartment the cockroach was in at the conclusion of the experiment. It opened to reveal a still alive and well insect. “Wonderful!”

    51133737205_264c365337_c.jpg

    Alex stepped closer and grimaced as he looked at the filthy bug. “What were you doing with that thing anyway?”
    “Testing out a new drug on it.”
    His eyes bugged out. “What? You mean to tell me you two have been testing the drugs you’ve invented on cockroaches to prove whether or not they are safe for us!? Aren’t you supposed to be testing them on rats or something!?”
    Maru slightly rolled her eyes. “That would be ideal, but we haven’t been able to find any. Not even mice. So these guys were the next best thing.”
    “But they’re cockroaches!”
    “Who are very resilient insects which make them worthy test subjects. See, this one is fine. Most of the others came out fine too.”
    “Most? Okay,” he stepped back, “you two need to find an actual mammal to test this stuff on. I don’t trust the meds now,” he declared, raising his palms up.
    “Well if you’d like to volunteer to be our test subject, then step right up!” she gestured with her hand, resting it on her hip, and giving him a pointed look.

    Alex couldn’t help smiling at the image that instantly entered his mind; him wearing nothing but underwear, being studied and probed by the cute scientist girl. It made him feel a little giddy, but Maru’s displeased expression at whatever he was thinking snapped him out of it. “Uh no...I uh...kinda like to take care of my body, as I’m sure you’ve noticed,” he ended with a smirk.

    51133400919_fe9902f067_c.jpg

    Maru huffed and turned away from him, pretending to type something into the computer. “Then don’t complain alright. We’re doing our best here.”

    Okay, you’re getting nowhere Alex. “Hey c’mon, I’m sorry,” he sincerely expressed, almost placing his hand on her arm, but jer'ked it away. “You and Harvey really are doing some great work here. I didn’t mean to sound unappreciative.”
    “No, no, I’m sorry,” Maru surprised him by saying, shooting him a glance. “I’ve been in a mood since this morning, worried about Abby, and...I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.” While she truly had been feeling much concern for Abigail, seeing Alex again got her heart racing and made her feel all the more distressed. Every time she would see him now the image of him pinning her to the ground and looking down on her with that gorgeous smile was one she just couldn’t erase from her mind. She was beginning to hate it. It was creating all these feelings she shouldn’t have; didn’t want to have, especially for a taken man. Besides it’s ALEX! she would stress to herself. The jock from high school who always got on your nerves!

    “Thanks,” Alex smiled. “That’s nice of you to say. You know…,” he somewhat hesitated, “you’ve kinda had me a little worried lately; taking off on me like that after our game. I thought maybe I...angered you or something.” Now his heart was racing.

    51132836798_3efb3c7c07_c.jpg

    “Oh, yeah...that,” Maru paused, feeling the blood drain from her face. Lovely. “No...you didn’t anger me. Just threw me for a loop that’s all.” It was very difficult to look at him now.
    “I didn’t mean to,” he softly uttered while lowering his eyes. “Didn’t realize what I was doing until after I did it, you know...?” He looked back up at her to catch her expression.
    “I know...It was just one of those ‘awkward moment’ things.”
    “Yeah.”
    “So no biggie.”
    “Totally.”
    “Maybe...we can just forget it ever happened?”
    “Yeah. No problem.”

    The two rocked on their heels a bit, exchanging glances. Finding it hard to keep them set on each other.

    51133401004_3285c028f1_c.jpg

    Neither realizing that the other didn’t exactly want to forget, but knew it was for the best.

    “Anyway,” Alex spoke, “I wanted to ask you something. Something I can’t wrap my head around actually.”
    “Oh? What’s that?”
    He paused for a moment. “Why you told Haley that I beat you at our soccer match when you clearly roasted me.”
    Greeeat. Maru thought, lowering her head. Should’ve expected that.
    “Why did you do that?”

    51133400859_a804005d55_c.jpg

    It took her a few seconds to gather up a response. “Look, I don’t really like to talk to her okay. She always has something snobby to say to me. So I just said whatever to satisfy her and make her go away. That’s all it was.”

    51131950667_61feb242a5_c.jpg

    Alex could understand, but he wasn’t buying it. “How could you seriously not tell her you beat me? Throw away the perfect moment to show up the girl who thinks you can’t play a sport to save your life! I’d be voicing it all over town if I were you!”
    “I’m not one to brag like that Alex.”
    “Why not?” he snipped. “I saw that pride in your eyes when you kicked my trash. There’s nothing wrong with showing a little pride in yourself, especially being as smart as you are. You don’t have to be so modest all the time.”
    “It’s not about modesty it’s about,” she struggled, “keeping certain things or feelings within yourself because they’re better left there. So you don’t end up getting misjudged or ridiculed. You wouldn’t understand...” She was divulging more than she had intended, but she could never let him know the real reason she lied to Haley in that moment.

    Alex just shook his head, not understanding like she said. “Okay, whatever. I just can’t seem to get you Maru…”

    There was a moment of silence before she said, “It’s because we come from two different worlds...”

    51133737255_3f03ab70bb_c.jpg

    He lightly nodded, understanding that. “Well, that may have been true in high school, but...we’re not in high school anymore.”
    She stared into his eyes, studying them. Her soul began to feel a sense of relief and hope.
    “I’m sorry I was such a j*rk to you back then,” he continued, to lighten the tension, “but it’s only because I was jealous of your smarts. I’ll admit it!” He spread his hands apart for emphasis.

    51132626556_d6b5ae804a_c.jpg

    She cracked a smile.
    “And I know Haley was rotten to you too and I’m sorry about that, but we’re all more mature now. Things are different. I want them to be different. Cause I gotta tell you I had so much fun playing soccer with you. I wanna play with you again. Do a rematch.” He winked.
    “I had a lot of fun too,” she admitted.
    He was glad to hear it. “Well, would you look at that? The jock and the whiz-kid actually having a great time together. Who’da thunk it?” he playfully said.
    It made Maru blush as she shook her head.
    “Guess that means we’re...friends?” he asked, his heart hoping for it more than he realized.
    Smiling brightly, she replied, “Yeah. Friends.”

    51133737330_c34fbc8ef1_c.jpg

    “Sweet.” There was his gorgeous smile again.

    51132626631_7252275f61_c.jpg

    For the next few minutes they talked about other fun things they could do together that were not sports related; Maru leaning more towards educational activities like discussing a book or stargazing. She was pleased to see him show some interest in doing those things.

    Pretty soon he needed to take his leave.

    “I better get back to Haley downstairs; she’s waiting for me.”
    “Oh. Right. Of course.”
    He smiled at her reaction there for a moment. “Look...I know Haley’s not the easiest person to get along with, but...maybe you could give her a second chance? Like you’ve given me?”

    How could she not? Especially when he said it with such a tone of appreciation. “Yeah,” she nodded. It wouldn’t be easy, but she would try for her new friend.
    “Thanks Maru. That really means a lot to me. Catch you later.”
    “See ya.”

    51133737425_e656c78913_c.jpg

    Downstairs, while Alex and Maru had been chatting, Haley grabbed a banana from the kitchen, brought it out to the foyer, and ate it while leaning against the wall; waiting for Alex to come back down. She couldn’t help taking notice of Sam playing foosball all by his lonesome. It made her laugh for a second, but soon she found herself giving him the once over again, still hardly believing he was that same scrawny kid she grew up with. He’d always been second on her list in the cute guy department, but he never seemed to quite measure up to her tastes. Now it seemed like he was measuring up rapidly, forming into a man, and the thought made her start to enjoy that banana a whole lot more.

    Sam may have shot a few subtle glances in her direction, gradually getting turned on by the sex appeal she was exuding wearing such an outfit and consuming a banana. Alex is SUCH a lucky man!

    Soon Haley discarded the banana peel and started approaching him. It excited him, but he decided to play it cool and act like he didn’t notice, just to see what she would do.

    51132836903_029eb7b80f_c.jpg

    “Hey Sam,” she greeted in a cutesy tone. “LOVE what you’ve done with your hair.”
    Score! “Thanks,” he answered with a prideful grin. “Wanted to change things up a bit, get a fresh new look.”
    “Well it totes rocks! Looks similar to how I color my hair.”
    Well how about that, he gleefully thought, giving her a grin. He didn’t even realize.

    “Is there a reason why you’re playing foosball all by yourself?” she asked. It seemed utterly embarrassing to her for someone to do that.
    “Yeah. I’m practicing. So Seb will quit kicking my a--, I mean, butt, at this game!”
    She tittered. “What was that all about? Correcting yourself there?”
    “Oh, uh,” he sheepishly began, “I’ve been trying not to cuss lately. My mom’s never liked it when I do, so...I thought I would honor her by not doing it; being away from her and all.”
    Haley thought that sweet, even if it seemed kind of silly to her. This would be like the perfect time to curse without all the nagging if you ask me! “Well...if you’re gonna be a Rockstar someday,” she countered, “you’re gonna have to curse. It comes with the territory.”
    He bobbed his head. “I dunno. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there…,” he trailed off, focusing on his solo game again. “Score! Yes!”

    “Here let me join in,” she insisted, stepping forward and positioning herself. “I’ve never really played this before, but it’s better than watching you play it all by yourself.”
    “Oh, uh, okay,” Sam agreed with surprise.

    51132837008_d3d2341069_c.jpg

    He was going to love this; not just for being able to experience what Sebastian does when playing against him.

    As they started playing, Haley asked Sam about his plans on becoming a Rockstar. His responses were filled with such excitement and conviction that she began to feel he might very well have what it takes to make it big. It sparked a little envy within herself.
    “I sure wish I had your confidence,” she said. “Gosh what I’d give to tour the world like that and take pictures of it. Grow and build a reputation for myself as a photographer. To the point that magazines, even museums, would be begging for my photos!”
    Sam smiled.
    “A life like that sounds so carefree and gratifying!” she blissfully sighed. “The exact opposite of the life my parents want for me…”

    51132836978_a42ed86373_c.jpg

    “What life is that?”
    “Pfft! To marry some rich guy, be his maid, and give him babies. NO thanks! I mean, I’d take the riches, absolutely, but the other two things, h*** no!”
    That wasn’t surprising to him. “So just tell them that’s not the life you want to have. You’re over eighteen now. Your life is yours to live however you want.”
    “Oh I know it! And I’ve told them as much, but they seem to think they know what’s best for me,” she said, giving him an expression of utter disagreement. “But whatevs, I really don’t give a frick. I’m gonna date who I want and be who I want. And they’re just gonna have to deal. I ain’t gonna be tied down to a life that I don’t want. I’ll never be happy.”
    Sam nodded. She wasn’t wrong there.
    “What a surprise they’ll be in for when we return home and they see that I’m finally dating Alex!” She snickered.
    Sam didn’t really wish to acknowledge that, so he just put more focus in on the ball and the tiny plastic men that he was controlling.

    When he made the first goal, Haley cried, “What gives stupid foosball players!? You’re supposed to be doing what I order you to do! You’re not!”

    51133737155_514e143854_c.jpg

    Sam chortled.

    He scored a second time and cheered loudly just to tease her. “Yeah! Alright!”

    51132626691_ca2c35a82a_c.jpg

    “No fair!” Haley cried.
    “Way fair!”
    “Not when my bad hit made the ball wander over towards my goal!"
    “It was a beautiful set up and I thank you for it,” he smirked.
    She shook her head with a tiny smile. “J*rk!”

    “Oh come oooonnn,” she whined. “When am I going to make a goal!?”
    “Bring me your A-game and maybe you will,” he grinned.
    “Oh I’ll bring it baby!”

    51132626711_18ccf23eec_c.jpg

    She called me baby! He nearly squealed, but instantly cleared his throat. Geez Sam quit being so lame.

    Haley sure was trying, but failing miserably at properly controlling each row of plastic men. It seemed clear to Sam that she didn’t have the kind of coordination required for this game and his swooning heart took pity on her. I’ll just let her win, he decided. I know what it’s like to lose to someone who is clearly better than you. Gotta try not to make it super obvious though…

    He loved witnessing her bright grin and gorgeous eyes light up when she made her first goal.

    “I DID IT!”

    51132836963_054085f53d_c.jpg

    “Nice job,” he complimented.
    Something about his tone made her shoot him a look. “That seemed a little too easy. Are you going easy on me!?”
    “No!” he instantly blurted out. “Why would I do that?”
    “Cause Alex does that to me all the time.”
    Cr’ap. But a beautiful moment just presented itself and he gladly went for it. “Well,” he eyeballed her with pride and affection, “I’m not Alex…”
    Her cheeks blushed.
    Okay maybe I shouldn’t take it AS easy on her… he thought, wishing to be honest. He really wanted to prove that he was the better man, even though oftentimes it felt like he never would be.

    Something got Haley playing with much more determination and attitude as the game went on. It was turning into quite the match! The two were enjoying it immensely.

    51133737175_20d6be5d8e_c.jpg

    “First person to score five goals wins,” Sam announced.
    “Hey we’re both halfway there already!” Haley grinned.
    His brow furrowed at her comment. There’s not a half in five when it comes to gaming. Poor Haley. Oh well! He chuckled. He didn’t care if she wasn’t the smartest girl in both worlds, her beauty more than made up for that.

    The fight to make the fifth goal became intense. Sam was just a split second off at blocking Haley’s direct shot into his goal. He almost cursed as he lowered his head.

    “WOO HOO! I won! I can’t believe it! Yay me!” She clapped her hands.

    51133400744_530c5432a8_c.jpg

    Annnnd once again I lose to someone at this stupid game, Sam thought. But he recognized this was a bit of a milestone for Haley so he was genuinely happy for her. He gladly took the loss.

    He stepped over to her side of the table and brazenly said with a pointed finger, “You girl, are the foxiest woman I’ve ever lost a game to…”

    51131950532_9b8283687f_c.jpg

    Foxy? That’s a new one. She liked it. “Is that so?” she asked with a tilted head and coy smile.

    51133737115_4c0363a288_c.jpg

    “Absolutely.”

    51132626181_12b30ed3eb_c.jpg

    “Thanks.”
    “I sure hope Alex tells you things like that; how pretty you are.” Easy Sam...don’t wanna overstep the bounds...
    “He does,” she answered, “just kinda says it a little too much you know? To the point that it gets kinda old.”
    Sam honestly didn’t expect that kind of response and wasn’t exactly sure what to say for a moment. He certainly never wanted to say anything unkind about her boyfriend, even if he didn’t care too much for the guy. “Well...I guess he just wants to make sure you know how much he thinks it and how much he cares about you.”
    “I guess,” she simply responded. “Anyhoo, speaking of Alex, I’m gonna go check on him up there. I totally expected him to be down here by now.”
    “Maybe he’s visiting Abby?”
    “Maybe. Said he wanted to talk to Maru. Bet she’s chatting his ear off about a bunch of scientific cr’ap. Perhaps I should go save him.” She winked.
    He shrugged in a neutral response.

    “Well, catch you later alligator,” she said as she headed for the stairs.
    “Catch you later.”

    Sam couldn’t take his eyes off her as he watched her leave. The way her hips sashayed, jiggling her cute butt. It made him bite his lower lip. Then hearing her heels clicking on each step, showing off her smooth, sexy legs as she ascended the stairs, turned his breath into inaudible moans. Oh what he would give if she could be his girl. I’m gonna need a cold shower…

    51131950457_b4752b3737_c.jpg

    Just as Haley reached the top of the stairs, Alex almost bumped into her on his way down. “Hey!” they said at the same time, smiling broadly. Soon they were in each other's arms, kissing intensely. Releasing suppressed sexual desires that somehow surfaced earlier on each other.






    To be continued. :)

    @AlexaKry

    Thank you, I had not travelled much there either, so this save I wanted to explore more
    of that world. I check next time in-game which eyes I use.

    @emorrill

    I give comments at your space later today.

    If you think Vlad is silly now, just wait until you see what happened later in this post. :bawling:

    @Silverofdreams30 Hi! :3 I haven't actually played the game in a long time, so I had nothing to post really. :lol:
    Ahh Wyll...The Blade of Frontiers? :wink:

    @emorrill Thank you! :3 I'd lend her to you, but you'd probably need some egregious amount of CC :lol:
    Ya know, Vlad is a getaway driver. Maybe a few speed bumps knocked something loose. :grimace:

    @AlexaKry Hello! :3
    Hehe thank you! Yeahhhh it is kind of my fault, though. All that work to make her pretty, and then I gave her the hot-headed trait. :sweat_smile:

    @emorrill "kissing intensely. Releasing suppressed sexual desires that somehow surfaced earlier on each other."
    Giggity giggity goo :lol:

    Guys, I'm livid:

    Finally, it's comments time from my side :wink: .

    @AlexaKry Thank you, but yeah, those pre-made sims inspired me.
    Elesabeti II. would be about 4 years older than Kurt in real life terms. I don't think that's in any way out of the usual. No, Kurt wasn't mean. He's a charismatic snob, which probably pushed SP into the direction of talking "the rabble" into loans they can't possibly repay. I think the rest was Loner, Bookworm and Adventurous. The only way the "Loner" was detectable was how long it took the couple to actually marry. Elesabeti was raising their son on her own for quite a while. Yeah, Henry II. suffered. As an elder, he looks like a sorry old man.
    Awesome update with Travis. Hmm, I still have to find out what's wrong with his mother, but I'll just wait if you let Haldir tell it again. Yeah, at one point, the sons may get stronger than their parents, and that's where it ends. Good on him. Also good that Haldir finally got into the know (yes, I read the whole update and left an "awesome" in both places, but I will only comment here).

    @Puddinroy Hello to you, too :smile: !

    @GraceyManor Well, the captain as plumber makes him useful for a change :lol: .
    Let's see what he does when he is on his own.

    @Silverofdreams30 Ah, great. I always loved playing in OL. I loved the huge cliff house because of its location, the "island" house as the most practical, and often the cheap house in the mining district if I wanted my sims just be away from everything.
    Jolina? I see her future is set :lol: .
    I really like the Erutuf on the inside, so great your sims had some fun there.
    Those are great colors in your OL shots (well, for my color vision at least :smiley: ).

    @ZhakiraP Thank you. Judy Bunch (nearly) vanished? Sacrilege. But yeah, I had that happen in my game, too. Then again, my SV game was running with EA SP for a long time, so I could enjoy her in her normal form for most of her days.
    Love that killing spree. Ephraim should know by now that his mom always comes back. :lol: at the child.

    @Tamijo Thank you. I placed children's sales stands once in a while, but the children never used them, and I never made them use them.
    This romantic last night was magical. That stare out of the window after the "deed" looks familiar.

    @emorrill Thank you, glad you enjoyed my post.
    I also liked that beach pic, because it was so simple. Just the deep blue sky and the bright sand below it.
    I like that you don't rush the switch of the Alex and Haley. That means they are at least still responsible at some level.
    I had to laugh at the banana scene.
    An enjoyable update.

    @Karritz That must be such a lot of work to process that many sims at once. I already have what I consider "larger" families, but that's nothing to your sizes. Do your sims do anything with their skills after they leave the house?

    @Brandontaylor That pic of Claire not getting through to Connor and Jared is so funny.
    I admit I put Jared on the "couch" in my latest safe. OK, if you play him, it's probably manageable. Barely.
    Nice makeover :smile: .

    @Emily4331 Wow, Veronika looks great. Awesome!
    That was too funny that Vlad went with Aria Trill. What a waste of a (great) makeover. There's a reason why I kept SP off when I started my Niua Simoa game (of course, I switched it on later). I hate how quick you have to be get in a steady relationship.
    Veronika has a lovely "disappointed" face.
    Great that you played with your sister. That's good when you get along like that and still do years later. :smile:
    Marriage :lol: . In my Bridgeport game, even SP never got those two married, and I don't mean just with each other.

    @bekkasan Thank you, glad you liked it. Yeah, I switched the mascot off. The file I use is named bluegenjutsu_NoMascotIntroSituation.package , so I guess it's from the Sims Asylum.

    @texxx78 No kissing the frog :lol: ? Ah well, you probably want to enjoy it.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    I notice that the last thing I actually posted of my Niua Simoa game was when Nelly and Marvin, Robert-Michel's two kids from Mae, were still toddlers. In my game, they both already have children (of child age) of their own. And Elesabeti II is already an elder herself.
    czsf0Y9.jpg
    Yeah, sorry, I know: Not pink enough. I mellowed a bit because there always comes the point where you see that the game will run on its normal tracks. Take this pic from a few days before she became an elder, Queen Elesabeti II. with Robert-Michel:
    7FsdmBC.jpg
    He's a five-star celebrity, and she's a nobody. As the queen, she should be the highest level of celebrity by default, no matter whether she breathes or not. I have to see whether I can fix that somehow with MC or an SP setting.
    They both got hearts for each other, by the way. Twice, once before the autograph, and a second time afterwards. This game :smiley: .

    I'm also slacking regarding the clothes. Kurt "the Baron" and Crown Prince Scott both look much too normal here on the pic (disregard the guy on the left, that's an IF from Robert-Michel's family). And the excited guy is Pita Harawira, the boss of all media on the island.
    sUA09r7.jpg
    For some reason, SP had moved Pita into the royal palace, so he's living with the royal family. He never moved together with the mother of his children.
    In some way, I found this fitting. Having the head of all media live in their house makes sure that all reporting about the royal family in the media will stay "fair and balanced". And that is something that makes me smile again.

    Glad to hear you are taking some time from work, and while you are at it, take some more time off. You are neglecting your posting duties! :p
    I think killing Holly could easily become an obsession of Joachim´s. I know it is becoming an obsession of mine. >:)

    Wow! That was one royal fall out! Get her Travis!
    You can see he is really seething too!

    I don´t like The Sims 4 AT ALL!
    And before someone now feels the need to defend it by saying that I don´t have any idea of how "good" 4 is: I can. I´ve bought not only the base game but a few of it´s "expansions" and the various different pack, however they are called now.
    I´ve bought it to see with my own eyes how good or bad the game was..... It was just bad. The first thing I had to do after playing a few hours of a Sim day was googling for Mods to make this game even playable!
    Ok, I was used to use mods to get a better game performance, because I need the NRaas Mods to clean my game and to have a smoother gameplay... My Sims 3 game runs as soft and good like melted garlic butter running down a big tasty steak, so to say. (sorry all vegans and veggies, I really try to reduce my meat consumption!!).
    But SIms 4? You need not only Mods for performance, my Sims 4 game wasn´t even playable at some point, the Sims just stood somewhere and didn´t respond to my orders. You couln´t reset them, the game ran further on but the Sims were stuck.... (I don´t know if this bug was evicted now because I don´t care at all about that ❤️❤️❤️❤️ game anymore....)
    No, I had to download soooo many Mods which helped with the behavior of the Sims. I had to stop soooo much annoying behavior that my mods folder got bigger (much bigger) than my Sims 3 mods folder in just a few hours!
    But even with that Mods the Sims behaved sooo annoying, so awfully same, they move so inhuman, so comical....and mostly didn´t respond to my orders at all.
    The Sims 4 game is really bad in my opinion.
    And I didn´t even start about the art style, which I dislike from the bottom of my heart. It´s too bright, too un-detailed, too comical (but the cheap comical style, you know?)
    Sorry, didn´t want to write so much, but you´ve asked for! :D

    I sort of yanked your chain, didn´t I? :p
    I agree with you. Let´s forget all about that game, shall we? :)
    AlexaKry wrote: »
    No, I don´t use a hight Mod in my game. I don´t know how many animations will be shifted and won´t fit anymore. So I hesitate to use it.
    Do you use just one hight slider or do you use the growing height Mod as well, where the children and teens grow on their own?

    I´m only using sliders. I did use the growth mod at one point, but I like using just the sliders better.

    hahaha, Joachim and Holly have a lot of uupsies, right? She must know Grim very well by now!
    So many good pictures of Joachim, his face is great! But can he take off his glasses at some time? I want to see his whole beautiful, sorry Joachim, cruel face.
    Oh poor Holly, does she interact with Joachim at free will? Or is she somehow under his will?
    LOL !!! Like son like father!!!
    Their uupsies should be punished at some point... they can´t kill all their friends and family......
    The look on the Enoch´s face is priceless! :D

    I will be sure to dig out a picture of his cruel face without glasses for you :)

    Thank you. It must be you people on the forums that Grim is referring to when not wanting to take the entertainment away. :D
    That haircut is so genuinely bad, the person who came up with it should consider having a thorough mental examination.
    You got all the names right, that is impressive.

    Hayley is very cute, and I love Sam´s hair!

    @Emily4331
    Kim looks a little grumpy.
    Gorgeous looking sims, Kim especially.


    @Brandontaylor
    The Frios´and Claire, classic!
    Claire really slimmed down, she looks completely different. But to be honest I like her better when she is bigger.
    Fawn is very similar to her mother, but I have to agree that she is prettier. I like her green eyes.

    @Silverofdreams30
    I like the picture of the sim with the umbrella. Awesome pictures of Oasis landing. The sims look great!

    @Turjan i used a cure potion. I didn't know that my sim could get cured by kissing a frog 😲
  • KarritzKarritz Posts: 21,908 Member
    @Turjan I've always felt restricted with the limit of only 8 sims in a household. I like the freedom to add more if I want to. So when I found out about NRAAS and I started putting mods into my game, after adding Error Trap, Overwatch and Master Controller I gradually came to the conclusion the next thing I simply had to do was identify the combination of mods I'd need to allow more than 8 sims in a household. All additions of mods since then have just been additions to fix smaller annoyances or allow more activities. Or to solve particular issues that arise occasionally. Porter mod is one that is a game changer for me but I only use it very rarely.

    As for the sims using their skills after I move them out. Probably not. I sometimes question my sanity by getting them to do all of this but then, they are sims I took time and trouble to make and I want to get to know them without adding unnecessary complications such as families of their own. And since I'm using them as characters in my videos I like to let my viewers get to know them a little. At least know them well enough to make them not total and meaningless strangers when they are seen around town later in the series. It is easier for me to get them to learn some skills than to have to think up entire stories for each of them. Their stories develop as I get to know them and I get to know them while they build their skills. I set limits on the skills I want them to learn so I don't end up keeping them there and making them get to level 10 in all skills. Some of them do get to level 10 in one or more skills but that is just what has happened during game play. I don't plan for them to get to that level. Except occasionally.

    I have a game that I call my Big Game. It has somewhere between 700 and 800 sims in it. They are all sims I've played. Some are townies that came with various worlds. I rarely play with townies I don't make myself but sometimes I do. If they are significant townies that are in some ways related to one or more of my own sims I might include them in my Big Game. Otherwise, all 'townies' in my Big Game are sims I've made and played.

    I currently have two video series in my Big Game. Oscar's Teen Years (developing from Oscar's Childhood since Oscar is now a teen) and The McFluff Story. I do have videos focusing on my townies occasionally. Those townies are going to feature strongly in all future episodes of Oscar's Teen Years as Oscar will set out on a long journey around all of the worlds in the Big Game. He will be accompanied by his friends, a brother and sister he met at the boarding school. They are Eric and Susanne Koffi. Eric and Susanne have blood relatives in most, if not all, of the 13 worlds currently in the Big Game. The trio will be visiting relatives of Eric and Susanne and this will give me a chance to play all of those relatives again.

    I am thinking of adding Sims I've played in other video series to the Big Game. Any sims I've added to the Big Game might appear, and even feature, in any episode of The McFluff Story or Oscar's Teen Years.

    When I add previously played sims to my Big Game I strongly prefer having sims I've already trained. Sims with skills. I get frustrated if I have to build their gardening skill mostly. I want them to be able to plant whatever see they come across without me having to teach them how to garden first. I want to just activate their household in the Big Game and they can do whatever I want them to do - instantly. So it suite me to have them trained before I save them to my library. I also export them so I get the Sims3Pack file and have those files backed up so I can add them to any game whenever I want them. I look at the file size to tell me if they have been played or not as I also like to keep a fresh unplayed version of each of them but I am more interested in the sims that have skills. I can always make a new sim if I need one with no skills.

    I'm currently playing in The Great Southern Land world and it had no sims in it to start with. There were houses but they were all empty. I ended up adding 4 extra houses as accidentally added a few more sims than I needed to fill the existing houses. All of the sims I added are sims I've played over the years. Some I've not seen since I last played them about 7 or 8 years ago. I picked them up randomly from the sims in my backup folder and installed them through the launcher. Most of them have skills. Some have families. When I make Sims3Pack file I often save the household as well as make a second Sims3Pack file that includes their house. I only include the house if I've significantly customised the house to their needs. There are times when I build a basic house that meets the needs of any family, then I place several copies of the house in a world and as I play the sims living in those houses I customise the house to suit each household. That is when I like to save the house with the household. Sometimes I have several versions of a sim. Patience is one such sim. I have her as she was originally made in June 2009 and also she is saved alone with skills and with her various families. In the Big Game I've got her with her 15 children she had when I was trying to get the badge for having 15 children. Then I found a son she had in a 2010 game. I lost the rest of her family from that game but when I found this particular son he was married with 6 children of his own. Patience was in that save too but I just grabbed him and his own family and added them to the Big Game and used Master Controller to add him to that version of Patience's family tree.

    So, when I'm getting my new sims to learn all these skills together I've got in the back of my mind, the possibility I'll add them to another game one day and all this skilling will have already been done.

    I'm thinking of two possible videos I might do eventually. One is just for a world of Plant Sims. I don't have enough Plant Sims to do that yet. And another is for a world of Imaginary Friends since I'm making lots of Imaginary Friends at the moment.
