I disappeared again!
I tried playing a little more with the Delaunays but the game was just running too slowly for it to be enjoyable. I do have a few screenshots I’ll add later (I’m on my phone right now).
I did finally buy a new desktop PC which may help make a difference when playing the game. It’s not going to be arriving for a bit, though, I got it from a custom-build site.
@Turjan : He certainly needs the Eingriff!!
I like his new bedtime clothes, especially the smiley at his back! I thought it was side-splitting for the devs to create such undies.
Ah, so Robert-Michel is much, much older than all of the other Sims he started with in your actual game right now? Do the Princess and her husband still live? And who is king/leader of the island now?
Yeah, well, he was always dressed in this low criminal who wants to get a higher position in the Mafia clan.... But was it stylish? At the island certainly.
Sorry, I have never discovered his freckles before, I´ve insited on not wearing my glasses before, but now that I wearing them while reading I discover so much more details...
Furthermore I got always distracted by his eyes. I love the shape of them!
Thanks for the link, I´ll install it and see how my game reacts to even more CC... (In certain towns it is sooo painful to play because of stutter and Error 12 savings that I don´t know if this skin is der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt so that the towns are not able to be saved anymore. Yes, I am looking at you Moonlight Falls!!)
Ah, so you rearrange and style the houses after you´ve placed them. That wasn´t to be seen on the pictures. (If I place lots from the bin I always end up to change them completely, even if I have already did so before...)
Yes, I have such route fixes and the rabbithole has more doors mod, too, moreover I have the mod which hides the stomping as well, but they do it still sometimes. Or just plainly forget what they wanted to do... Silly Sims....
What I´ve meant with mean was that my mean Sims always are happy when they hear babies cry, so I thought that Robert-Michel´s moodlet system would have shown a happy one as well because I thought that I could remember that he was evil?
Henning is the queen consort, he is a witch and the fairy council which allowed Freia to be queen of her folks (a queen or king is chosen by all the other fairy kings and queens at a Thing (German word and pronounciation)) generously allowed Freia to have Henning as her husband, but didn´t want him to have power over the fairies she has power over.
So their relationship changed during their years together, because Freia felt more and more conceitedly towards Henning....atm they don´t have a healthy relationship anymore...
Today, Crystal Birch, one of the original members of the Birch household passed away. Her age caught up with her. Also, Taylor got engaged, married and had a kid, but that happened a few days ago (I didn't take any pictures of that. Also, i kinda stopped posting for a while).
If i hadn't deleted their tombstones while trying to fix their glitched ghosts, i would have placed her parents' graves next to hers. It's gonna suck losing them from the family tree once i eventually move out of Bridgeport.
Thomas and Charlotte were now able to socialise, and they had fun playing peekaboo in the playpen. I hope they continue to develop a strong bond as they get older!
Ah, every parent's favourite task... potty training. Guillaume decided he'd take charge of this one. As he waited for Thomas to finish, he gazed wistfully out of the window at his sculpting station, no doubt dreaming of what he'd rather be doing... ah well.
Later that evening, he had fun playing with the cats. I don't quite get the attraction of a laser beam myself, but then, I'm not a cat.
Thomas was enjoying playing with his teddy bear when he got the shock of his life - it disappeared! Ah, his witch powers were beginning to manifest...
Whilst at work, I was given the opportunity to run a vaccine clinic at the local festival grounds. (Pretty apropos given the current COVID vaccine drive!) The patients didn't look too impressed with the needle, but they soon realised it wasn't as bad as they thought.
When I got home, I felt distinctly unwell... perhaps the twins would be getting a sibling soon!
Recently, an odd object had appeared in the town. Rumours were flying around, claiming that it was some sort of time travelling device! Guillaume decided to go and check it out. He was surprised to see an odd-looking man step out of the portal, who introduced himself as Emit Relevart.
(I didn't get any screenshots of Guillaume in the future! But he did check the lotto records... I think he also got all the bot building books. I'm not sure, it's been a month since I actually played )
As I got home from work that day... I was definitely pregnant!
Charlotte's toy also disappeared!
I'm naturally a workaholic, so I enjoy working. I was happy, therefore, when my fellow medical staff at work told me that I could do some work from home during my pregnancy.
Guillaume's gamble paid off - literally! He won 52,499 Simoleons!
I went into labour at home, as I had done with the twins.
I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who I called Madeleine.
***
Lilie the cat also ended up having kittens, but I forget what they're called.
This update will be in a few different parts as I took almost 50 pictures and I don't like to shove them all into one posting...
Pt.1
Nathan came outside to play with his toys while he was waiting for the school bus to show up and Scout was chasing after his ball.
Once the school bus got here, the bus driver honked his horn for Nathan a couple of times before Nathan got on the bus. Nathan to the bus driver: There wasn't any need to honk the horn twice as I was on my way. Bus Driver: I just wanted to make sure that you heard me out here as I don't want you to be late for school if that is okay by you! Nathan: Yeah, whatever. But I was making my way out when you honked the first time. Bus Driver: Well I didn't see you coming out. Nathan: Well you could see me if you weren't parked so far up the road away from my driveway, now would you? Bus Driver: Well it's against the law to block people's driveways in case of an emergency that might arise at your house. So I will continue to park where I'm supposed to park when picking you up. Do you understand? Nathan mumbling: Yes I understand but I don't like it. Bus Driver mumbling to himself: Little brat! Nathan: What did you say? Bus Driver: Nothing!
After Nathan Left and I was done playing in our newly made sandbox, I went in to fix my breakfast which was Strawberry Parfait, YUMMY...
While I was eating my breakfast, the time portal rumbled and 2 future Sims came through, 1 human and 1 plumbot that goes by the name of Number 6. They both got into taxi cabs and drove off.
Number 6: What? You've never seen a plumbot drive before?
After I had cleaned up my dirty dishes, I head on out to the garden as it needed tending to. But before I could do anything, I get a call from Marcus Da Silva (@thuggishsplicer Sim) asking me out on a date. But of course I turned him down since I am already in a relationship with my son's daddy. Marcus Understood which is great as I hate for people to be mad when I turn them down.
After hanging up with Marcus, I started tending to my garden as there was some plants ready to be harvested.
Then I get a call from Lucille Spenster who wanted to talk for a little bit, so I agreed to talk to her. She just wanted to know how we were all doing and if I needed any help taking care of the house or taking care of my son and I told her thanks but I got everything handle. So we talked for another minute or 2 before she had to go.
After I was done tending to my garden, I wanted to water my plants but I had to kick the garden fountain a few time while cussing at it calling it a piece of garbage and that it should be in the garbage. But I like it too much to get rid of it, so it will stay and I will just have to keep kicking to make it work.
After getting the fountain turned on, I took care of the chickens by collecting what eggs that they had laid as well as feeding them more of the chicken feed. Then I talked to Charles the Evil Chicken for a minute.
I then sold my sculpture as I had a buyer for it which is good as I can now start another one that can be sold as well.
Nathan's class had a fieldtrip to the Bistro today. Maybe he'll want to be a top chef when he goes up...
Anne Droid had heard a noise outside, so she came to see what was going on to only find me working on my next sculpture.
After Anne Droid watched me for a few minutes, she went off to practice on her horseshoe throws.
When Nathan had gotten home, he changed his school clothes and into his swim clothes as he was about to lay out in the sun but I told him that he needed to do his homework first before he can do anything else so that we're not up again all night with him trying to get it done.
Scout was out on the front porch when he had a little accident...
So Donny had came outside to clean it up but ended up getting a phone call from Kay Pennington asking him out on a date but he turned her down explaining to her that he's still with me.
Donny then started mopping up the puddle that Scout left behind as he didn't want that to soak through the boards and have the front porch rot from it as well as making it stinky.
After he cleaned up the dog pee, I decided to try to teach Scout how to sit.
As it was getting dark out, I was putting on the finishing touches of my latest statue so that I can try to get that one sold as well.
Then I headed on inside to start fixing dinner which is spaghetti with vegetable sauce...
When Nathan got done with his homework, he went and played in the sandbox for a little bit.
While he was getting the sand ready to build a starfish, he found his pink bunny buried in the sandbox and placed it next to him so that he can put it in the toybox later.
Donny finally got Scout to sit down, so now Scout has learned a new trick.
After preparing the stuff that I needed for our dinner tonight, I placed it on the stove so that it can cook up. SS saying out loud to herself: This smells yummy...
Of course I couldn't wait until everyone was inside to start eating, So I grabbed my bowl and then yelled for everyone else to come get theirs when I had sat down. So when they all got inside, I was already done with my dinner.
Then when Nathan was done, he placed his dirty plate into the dishwasher. Then he headed into the bathroom so that he can get his shower before heading off to bed.
While Nathan was getting his shower, Donny came over and grabbed me by the hands and then asked me if he's told me yet today on how beautiful I am before giving me a kiss.
After our steamy kiss, we just looked into each others eyes both thinking the same thing...
Afterwards, we both went into Nathan's room to tuck him into bed. Then we started kissing in his room but Nathan told us that he didn't want to see us kissing like that and told us to get out of his room.
Donny headed into the bathroom while I had one last look at Nathan for the night before meeting up with Donny in the shower.
Then afterwards, we did some cuddling in the bed.
Then a little bit of making out before we headed under the covers for a little bit of more fun.
Then it was off to sleep as it was 2:00 am and Donny needed his sleep before having to get up for work.
And then Anne Droid went to her charging station when she seen that her battery was almost drained.
And then Donny turned over and held me while I was sleeping which I just love when he does that...
Arthur knew of one spot where this so called tomb might be, and
that was deep within the old mines near the windmill.He and Brandy
raced toward the mines as fast as she could run.
The mines were extremely dark, and very difficult to navigate, one
could easily get lost or lose their Barings if one wasn't careful.
Arthur slowly followed the wooden steps further down into the mine.
After many hours of walking and clearing rubble, Arthur finally
reached the bottom where he found a "key stone" made out of stone.
This must contain the needed healing powers to heal Belle.Now if
he could only find his way back out...
Merlin: Might want to go into the other room Arthur.
Arthur: -croaks?-
Merlin: You might give her a startle...give her a chance to wake up.
Arthur: -_-
Merlin did his magic, and it seemed the stone lived up to its rumors,
Belle slowly woke.
Belle: Ah! Mutant toad...get that thing out of here!
Merlin: Don't! its Arthur...
When Belle realized who it was, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Merlin: My girl! That's not very nice, he risked his neck to save you.
Belle: I'm sorry, I can't help myself...you just look so ridicioulous.
Don't breathe on me, your breathe stinks.
Merlin: We can't leave him as toad for the rest of his life.
Belle: Well, I don't know what to do.
Merlin: I might know of one way...
Belle: If you are suggesting what I think you are, the answer is no!
I am never, and I mean never, ever never kissing a icky toad.
Merlin: Maker! He helped you...
Belle:....I better not turn into a toad...
Belle: Not on the mouth! that's gross.On the cheek only.
Belle quickly placed a kiss upon Arthur's cheek.
Arthur: Thank you
Merlin: Now, we have to deal with morgause, and no better way
than to hide in plain sight.
Morgause: Hidden in plain sight my eye merlin! Do you really
think my magic is so primitive that it can't sense danger as it
approaches.
Merlin: Primitive is exactly the right word.. Primitive and
dangerous!
Merlin snapped his fingers and they disappeared.
Morgause: Cute little trick, but I think you'll find my powers have
grown much stronger.
Merlin: My dear, you obviously missed the point of all your training.
You really think you scare me?
Morgause: Come on and fight.Let's see who the real magician is.
Merlin: Yaous Acaarum Axmion
Morgause: Alright, you win round one.But I am not finished quite yet!
Merlin: Oh no, you're far from finished! There is much more turmoil
and havoc for you to cause.
Morgause: Stop that future stuff, like you know it all.You thought you
knew about Arthur and look what happened.
Merlin: Just because you managed to move things around, doesn't
mean they won't come to the same sorry end.No what's next, my
dear little witch?
Morgause: I am not a witch! I am a magician!
Merlin: You missed....
Morgause: I am through with playing games...you give me no choice
Merlin
Morgause: Its time to be done with Arthur once and for all.
Arthur: What?
Morgause: Revoacia Cideycentesis Dohla Angiaeana Phantoaomis Herac
Merlin: Morgause, you don't know what your doing.
Morgause: Ouch! Not again! ow!
Belle: Arthur! Oh no!
Merlin: Come on my boy, wake up! you have a kingdom to run.
Belle: I shouldn't have taken that sword!
Merlin: Its not you my girl, you are not to blame.And the one
who is, I think has learned her lesson.
Belle: Look he's waking up.
Merlin: King Arthur....
Arthur: I guess I really have to do this...
Merlin: You'll get used to it.
Arthur: I guess first things first, off with her head.
Belle: -giggles-
Merlin: No, my boy that's not how it works.haha!
She too, has a destiny to fufill.
Morgause: What are you going to do to me?
Merlin: I think its time to go back to orknee, there's a lovely
young King Lock, you should meet.
Morgause: You can't just send me so far away! not to the country.
I'll just die out there! I surely will.
Merlin: Eventually yes, but not for many years.
Morgause: Anything but Orknee, its so dreary and cold there!
I'll be a loyal servant to my brother...I do love him after all.
Merlin snaps his fingers and Morgause was sent away.
Arthur: So she's really my sister.Is she going to be more trouble?
Merlin: I can't promise that she won't.How's that for answer?
Arthur: Oh please tell me what happens.Isn't that what you're suppose
to do?
Merlin: In time.In time.
Belle: Excuse me...Can I go home now?
Merlin: Oh dear...
Belle: I don't like the sound of that.
Merlin: Well, Belle.I'm afraid I have bad news.
I been holding off telling you, because frankly
you had enough stress on your plate...
Belle: Wait a minute, you just sent morgause to Orkley,
or whatever that is, with just a flick of your hands.You
telling me you don't have enough juice left to send me home?
Merlin: Time travel is a tricky thing Belle.Its not so much a sending
matter, as a drawing matter.You see, magic has the power to pluck
someone out of time into our own.But you see, no magic has the power
to send someone through time.
Belle: Oh now...this won't do! I can't live here.First of all the food is
gross..Secondly, let's not start about bathing schedules....
Merlin, you keep speaking of people having their own destiny, and
fate...well mine can't be here.
Arthur: But why not?
Belle: I don't belong here...I should go home...
Arthur: But why can't this be home?
Belle: I need to go for a walk.
Arthur: Belle..
Merlin: Let her go, my boy.She has to have some time alone..
Now to get you on the throne...I think I can wipe the kingdom's
memory of Belle pulling the sword...and we can stick it back into
the stone..Let's go.
Arthur: But I don't want to leave her here alone...
Merlin: Give her some space, Arthur...We'll check up
on her later...
Because this new update is very long and includes lots of pictures I had to cut it to post it here.
So if anyone is interested in the full update then you have to get over to the Sims 3 Story Corner to read it there.
Haldir was sooo happy to have his kids back!
While he took Emerson out of the child safety seat, Misty ran upstairs to her room to see if her toys were still there.
Then Haldir through Emerson into the air and caught him safely and listened to his little one´s joyful laughter.
"Dada, high!" Emerson whooped with joy. His giggles made Haldir´s heart beat faster, he was so happy to hear this precious laugh again.
Haldir could feel his littlest one being hungry so he sat him down at the floor and gave him a bottle.
Emerson grabbed it as if he hadn´t eaten anything today.
He could see that Misty was downstairs again and asked her if she missed some toys, well aware that she couldn´t because he left her room untouched since she was gone.
"No daddy, everything is there except the few toys I was allowed to take with me to mum."
"Shall I ask her to give them back to you?"
"No, daddy, I don´t want this toys back."
"But your favourite teddy is still-"
"NO, DADDY, I don´t want it back, please don´t ask me again!"
Haldir looked at her with concern, he knew that he had to get to know why she was so unwilling to get her toys back, even her favourite teddy without she couldn´t sleep in the past.
He watched her painting and noticed the dark colors she chose to draw with and knew that he had to watch her closely the following weeks. 'What on earth did Emelie do to her, why is she so fearful and angry? I should consider taking her to a psychiatrist when she shows more strange behavior!'
Then he felt a little hand on his trousers.
"Dada, high!"
So Emerson wanted to fly again, a wish Haldir promptly and happily fullfilled.
But Haldir couldn´t wait for his son to walk and talk properly, so he sat down with Emerson and began to teach him how to talk.
It was important for Haldir to be able to talk with his kids, now that they were back with him!
Emerson had so much fun to learn together with his dada that Haldir could even teach him how to walk, Emerson wasn´t even tired the slightest.
When Emerson had learned to walk and talk Haldir snuggled with him and Emerson talked about what had happened this day.
"I cry when I fall, dada! But not when you hold me!"
Haldir could have listened to his sweet voice for years to come!
"Yes, my big boy, you didn´t cry, you were very brave."
"Dada, I luv you!"
Haldir could barely hold back his tears when he heard that.
He tickled Emerson´s little belly to make him laugh again and to wipe away the sad feeling which came to his mind about all the loss he faced in the last month, not being able to be with his kids.
After such an eventful day Misty and Emerson were very tired early in the evening so Haldir brought them to bed.
So Haldir and Travis had some time alone before going to bed.
While they were watching the stars Haldir told Travis about his concerns regarding Misty.
"I have to watch for her, you know. She is more a loner than before and the picture she painted gives me a bad feeling."
"Yes, but you don´t have to watch for her on your own, you know? I am here for you and Misty and Emerson as well."
"I know! And you know what? This gives me so much strength and hope for the future! I am so happy to have you in my life!"
Belle: Maker's breathe! Where are you taking me?
Merlin: To Arthur. He refused to pull the sword unless you're
there! Now stop your whining.
Belle: I will only stop my whining if you send me home.
Merlin: I already told I can't.
Arthur: Good morning Belle.
Belle: Good morning, now will you kindly pull the sword, so
we can all go on with our lives.
Arthur: Oh...someone's a bit touchy.
Belle: Just pull it.
Arthur: Alright Alright.
Belle: What are you waiting for? If you don't pull it, I'll pull it
for you.
Merlin: You will not! That is how this all got started.
Merlin: Now, Belle go run and spread the news...my spell should
have worked.Let's get you back to the castle.
Belle: There, you should be all ready for your coronation tomorrow.
Arthur: Is there nothing I can say to make you stay?
Belle: No.If I'm going to be stuck in this backwards time, I'd like
to go explore.
Arthur: Please don't get killed.
Belle: I won't.I can handle myself, don't worry.
Arthur: Before you take your leave....
Belle: Yes?
Arthur: Goodbye...
the next morning:
Arthur: Is she here?
Merlin: No, I'm sorry.And we can't put your coronation off
any longer.
Arthur: I understand.
Knight: Will you solemnly swear to govern the people of Camelot
according to their laws and customs?
Arthur: I solemnly swear to do so.
Knight: Will you to your power execute law and justice in all
your judgements.
Arthur: I will.
Knight: Then I crown you "Arthur" King of Camelot.
Knight: Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, your King.
Belle: Merlin! Why in the maker did you whisk me here? I thought
you had no juice left?
Merlin: For the millionth time, I already explained it to you.Magic
can not time travel people "back" to their time.I whisked you here
so you could be here for his coronation, like a friend should be.
Belle: No, you whisked me here to be a grumpy meddling..
Merlin: Congratulations, your majesty.
King Arthur: Thank you, Merlin..If it wasn't for you...
Merlin: I wasn't alone, Arthur...I had help.
Belle: Congratulations are in order, your majesty.
King Arthur: Belle, its good to see you.
Belle: I was just taking my leave, your majesty, but not before I
sent my best wishes.
King Arthur: Belle...
Belle: Yes, your majesty?
King Arthur: ....Thank you.
King Arthur: Before you take your leave, might you have time
for a ride?
Belle hesitated, but felt obligated to say yes.
Bell: Of course.
King Arthur: Thank you, my lady.
King Arthur: Do you not like it here, Belle?
Belle: It certainly is different from home...
King: Arthur: But Camelot has its advantages.
King Arthur: Its true! the crown has made it clear.. he climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
King Arthur: he winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
Belle: -giggles- I suppose all the Autumn leaves fall in neat little
piles?
King Arthur: No, m'lady, they blow away completely.
Of course
Belle: -giggles- Of course.
King Arthur: Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot
King Arthur: Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot
Because Kay and his father are not Arthur's real family...His real father would
be Uther Pendragon.
Yes that is true. But, this is the sims and your story can have anyone be his kinfolk.
uh, Belle, don't do it! You don't know what germs that beggar has. Didn't your mama teach you not to double dip or eat after someone else like that! Ugh!
lol at Arthur getting the frog curse. He's cute!
Glad to see Arthur riding to the rescue to find a cure.
lol at Belle not wanting to kiss the froggie Arthur.
Well hopefully she won't cause more trouble. I was agreeing with Arthur though. "off with her head" certainly assures no more trouble. LOL
Bummer, Belle can't get home. Does she really want to?
Arthur looks great in his royal clothing.
lol at Belle arguing with Merlin. Yes, he is right she should be at the coronation!
Arthur is surely trying to get her to stay. Will they have their happy ever after? lol, I never know with your stories!
@lisasc360 Nice to see you post again. I do hope your levels are stabilized soon. Those ups and downs are frustrating.
There are some fixes for some of the window issues on MTS. I don't know if it will fix your specific problems though.
Cute seeing the horses visit.
She is cute playing in the sandbox!
I enjoyed reading your updates on the family.
@emorrill Comments on your thread! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
@Turjan I think I've gotten so used to the floor I don't like anything else. I'll get there eventually.
Maybe I'll try wicker next! Sorry, couldn't resist!
oh my, that hair, the costume...which I actually like better than a wicker suit. I dunno about on a date though.
I love the smiley patterns on his undies. I do have a smiley pattern for tshirts but it wasn't made quite right and it isn't high enough so I quit using it.
@Gguy Sorry about Crystal. It looks like she was loved and had mourners.
@Lucy_Henley Congrats on the new puter. Hope it helps you with your lag issues when you get it up and running.
Nice to see your family again.
Adorable picture of the toddler with his disappearing teddy!
@AlexaKry Loved the update, comments on your thread.
@bekkasan Yeah, I love it when witch toddlers look all shocked at their toy disappearing Pity they don’t have any special interactions at the child stage. They can fly brooms, though, which is pretty cool!
That picture is beautiful! I haven’t got Hidden Springs. I’m tempted to get Lunar Lakes from the Store.
Chapter 11.2 - Spring in Sprottenham (March, April and May 2021)
After a period of strong winds and heavy rain at the end of february, snow made its return again in early March. Gardening season wasn't here yet.
Since she couldn't do any garden work yet, Solvej had bought a music box to soothe herself with..
And Gaute was eating dirt from the floor...
Then Leya and Gaute decides to get romantic..
Very romantic...
Leya: Let's make babies... Gaute: Oh hell yeah!!
Hmm, the ice cream truck must be out early this year..
The crib in the background is Bodils old crib, and for some reason they haven't thrown it out yet..
Rune: By Kraken... pirates on port side!! Man the cannons!!
Gaute was invited to a party over at Karoline and Kabelo Gundersens house. Dresscode: Swimwear. And of course, Gaute wasn't the kind to say no to a party. Especially not a swimwear party. He used to host quite of few of those when he still lived in "Gufo Triste", and they used to get quite wild, too. I'm sure the only thing keeping complaints from neighbours at a low level back then was the lack of actual neighbours..
Picture: Karoline Gundersen is an opinionated and temperamental woman.
Gaute has a soft spot for temperamental women in bikinis (or maybe just women in bikinis..), so he tries to flirt with her, but to no success.
Solvej Rasmussen dumpster diving after finishing her shift at the community theatre. Findings: A japanese beetle and a Zephyr butterfly.
The dumpster diving made her sick and in need of a bath, and of course afterwards the bathtub broke.
By mid-March the rain was back and the snow had melted again. Spring was beginning to make its arrival..
By late March it was time for spring festival, but it was quite the rainy experience.. Probably why both Rune and Bodil decided to run towards the toilet even though none of them were particularly in need of going. Atleast the toilets would provide shelter from the rain..
Bodil: (standing in front of a toilet stall) I'm not enjoying this spring festival.. it rains to much..
Gaute and Solvej didn't let the rain stop them, though.
Leya didn't mind them dancing, and decided to get her face painted.
So did Bodil, but she still wasn't very happy about the rain and decided to go home afterwards.
Patrik was the only one that wasn't at the spring festival grounds, because he had a match to play at the stadium. Atleast the Sprottenham Totspurs won that match, 7-4. Good going!
Rune decided to go for face paint too. Hmm, yeah..uh, what can I say... looking good, your Royal Highness. :P
After the match Patrik could join the spring festival too, and decides to flirt with Leya. It still doesn't lead anywhere.. you're so inappropriate. Both of you are married...
Yup, there you go. Solvej finally saw what was going on and had a reaction.
Then she runs over to talk to the food stand clerk. "I'm going to be a star one day", she says.
Gaute is still over at Karoline Gundersens party talking about rain. Well, what else is there to talk about...
Leya and Rune had gone home, and then the rain let up. Patrik was searching for eggs.
The food stand clerk had started a water balloon fight with Solvej. Eventually, Solvej also went back home to play guitar outside again. Patrik stayed behind to continue his egg hunt..
Leya was inside with Rune and Bodil, and both of them competed about making her read a bedtime story for them.
At 6:30 in the morning, Gaute the party animal was still over at Karoline Gundersens house, and now she was mad at him for not having gone home yet..
Gaute, you can't flirt your way out of everything.. and you have to be at work in.. well, 15 minutes!
Straight from the party and off to work... The life of Gaute.
April
Patrik bought a seesaw for the kids.
Leya finished a painting called "April Forest" worth 375 simoleons and decided to sell it.
Solvej could finally get her hands dirty and do some gardening work.
Jorunn Vaddelmyr had joined Rune after school. I wonder.. is there any connection between her last name and Vaddelmyra Trailer Park in Sunset Valley? I don't know..
Bodil didn't care about her homework, she was busy ruling her kingdom, of course.
Jorunn: *farts* – Haha! Did you hear that?
Bodil: Oh... my... god...
Patrik: Did you just fart!? No farting in our kitchen! You're just like your mother Selma.. a complete nasty slob!
Rockin'! Solvej made 802 simoleons from playing guitar on the street.
May:
Old King Frost returned on the first night in May.. oops, maybe Solvej was a little early with her garden work! Lets hope the crops will survive...
Leya woke up feeling nauseous this morning for some unknown reason. Probably ate to much ice cream from the ice cream truck,
Leya: "I love you so much..." Gaute: "Nasty! Her breath is like the smell of garbage! What has she been eating?"
Gaute: "I guess she could need a massage, though.."
Picture: Mitchell 12.
Other news around town: Leni and Daniel Dahl-Blankblomst (and their son Jonn) had moved out of their home in Mitchell 12 and to a new home in Cliffon 9.
Picture: Cliffon 9.
Leni had also given birth to a new boy which they called Torgeir. This was probably the reason for their move. Congratulations on their new home and congratulations to the new parents!
And Solvej is just being Solvej.
Leya talks about rain, Solvej talks about music.
Patrik is being grumpy about Solvejs job at the Theatre.
This offends Solvej, of course.
Then he flirts with Leya again, right in front of Solvej. What do you see in this man, Solvej, I wonder?
Leya being just Leya.
As May progresses and summer is getting closer, the weather is getting better. Solvej plays guitar, Leya and Gaute is dancing. Patrik wants to dance with Leya, but Leya is busy..
And then.. Leya finally learns that, yes, she is in fact pregnant. New life in the making! Leya is very happy to be pregnant.
I have Gaute finally do some laundry, because even though they bought a new washing machine and tumble dryer this household has been really terrible at that. And oops, looks like Rune was in the bath tub... sorry, my bad!
Leya: Oh, mighty Queen Bodil! I bow down to thee, and will do anything you sayeth!
As May is close to it's end, and June is almost here a hailstorm decides to drift slowly over Sprottenham.
Leya decides to reveal the good news to Patrik.. Leya: Hold on.... I'm pregnant!!
Patrik: Oh.. really? Congratulations!
And Patrik is being Patrik... Patrik: Hey, I just bought this new camera.. say, shall we go inside for a little.. photoshoot? If you know what I mean...
No, no, Patrik.. what exactly are you asking? She is a pregnant married woman! Have you no limits!? Of course, Leya declines..
*edit: Fixed a mistake with one of the names. When you can't get the names of your own sims right even...
@lisasc360 Nice to see you post again. I do hope your levels are stabilized soon. Those ups and downs are frustrating.
There are some fixes for some of the window issues on MTS. I don't know if it will fix your specific problems though.
Cute seeing the horses visit.
She is cute playing in the sandbox!
I enjoyed reading your updates on the family.
Thank you... Same here as I hate changing my meds. You're right about that, it is frustrating when they go up and down. When I told my mom on how tired I had been, she asked me did I tell my doctor and I said but that is the reason why she is trying different doses because she knows what the side effects are when it comes to thyroid issues. So far the new dose is working but I've only been on it for a week now, so we shall see what it's like a few weeks or so.
I took a look over there but didn't find anything that I could see. I never had any issues with those windows before as they have been the same ones that I put in there when I built the house in 2012. So I really don't know what happened since I've last played my save last year to now other than that it could be possible that one of Win10 updates messed them up since other players were having issues with textures in their game after some of the Win10 updates.
I love when I see the wild animals showing up on the lots in the game...
Thanks. She had fun playing in the sandbox...
Thank you...
So since I had a Simming friend that wanted to send their sim to my game to perform, I went back to my Starlight Shores save so that I could host their sim. (But of course when it was time for their performance, no sim showed up just like the last time. I wish that there was a mod out there that fixes that but if there is, I couldn't find anything for it.)
But anyhow, I will still show you to pictures that I took of my Sims...
So it was night and the Birdie family was getting hungry, so Kiwi Birdie who is a Genie conjured up an Apple Pie for the family to eat. Once she sets the table, she calls for everyone to come and eat. Willie Birdie who is still in his werewolf form eats his like a dog while Williamena and Kiwi eat the normal way.
After everyone was done eating, they all went and washed their dishes up in the separate sinks in the house. Of course Willie ended up breaking his sink, so he needed to repair it before it could flood out the bathroom anymore than what it was. Williamena came in and mopped up whatever she could and then she needed to wait until he was done on there to get the rest up.
After they were done in the bathroom, they decided to go sing some karaoke songs on their karaoke machine.
When they were done singing, Williamena started flirting with Willie and she hinted about having a little funny in her fairy house...
So off to the fairy house they go while she entered into it first followed by Willie.
The fairy house started rocking...
After Willie left for work, Kiwi headed on over to the festival as she wanted to do some skating.
Williamena was on her way to the festival but had to pay their bills first so that they don't get a visit from the repo-man.
Kiwi was asked by another skate to skate with them, so she accepted.
Williamena got there and headed over to the skating rink herself where she was a little bit unsteady on the skates.
Once the festival had opened up, more and more people gathered on the skating rink as well.
Then is was Williamena's turn to skate with someone but they ended falling down since Williamena hasn't gotten used to being on skates yet.
Then Kiwi skated with someone else but they too fall flat on their faces and rearends.
Kiwi was ready to perform for tips, so she got off of the skating rink and placed her tip jar down and started doing her mime tricks.
Willard Wright came over and they ended up having hearts for each other.
Willard booed Kiwi when she started to do her rope tug.
But clapped when she did her walking in the wind trick.
He then placed a $12 tip in her jar and continued to watch her show.
A wild horse showed up and had a little bit of an accident...
Then the wild horse started to run in her direction which reminded me of the running scenes from the movie "Get Out".
The horse went running over to where the soccer nets are at.
After Kiwi was done with her performance, she headed on over to the venue about an 1 earlier that was hosting the sims that was suppose to perform from the simporting request. While she was there, Willard Wright called wanting to know if Kiwi wanted to talk to him, so she talked to him for a little bit.
The time came for the sim to perform which was 7:30 PM Wednesday, she was a no show but I kept my sim there at the venue for a few hours more in hopes that the performer would show up but didn't. So she went home being as everyone else was leaving since they were being rained on.
@AlexaKry Thank you very much.
Ah, okay, consort makes sense in that context. I somehow already knew that, I guess. Looks like the little ones survived the ordeal completely unharmed, but it looks like that wonderful ex-wife played some mind tricks on Misty. Did she have her toys spy on her or use them for some "advanced educational purposes"? Anyway, I enjoyed that update.
Heh, yes, I love that set of underwear. I use most of them.
Regarding the skin, I failed to mention that it's the Mango Smoothie one, not the Yoghurt variant. Mikezumi also uses that, but the non-default version and only for the sims in her active breeding experiment.
Oh well, I can relate to that "glasses" issue. I had to buy new ones now, because my old ones didn't cut it anymore. It didn't help that I sat on them . Ahem.
Ah yes, Error 12's. I'm not there yet in Niua Simoa, but the load and save times already get on my nerves. I should probably try and delete all dreams and opportunities.
Regarding houses, I at least try to place some I'm happy with out of the box, so I do much less rebuilding than you do. However, unless I want to use the same houses over and over, there's always the need to remodel some of them. Which is what most of today's game time consisted of for me.
No, Robert-Michel never was evil. He was a "Loner" and had some of those compulsive traits ("Neat" and something else I forgot). He got over these things in the meanwhile (thanks to those marvels of technology the game has on offer). For whatever reason, he just didn't react to that baby at all. Then again, it may all just be a fluke, given the game tends to forget one sim out of a group for pretty much every action.
Ah, so Robert-Michel is much, much older than all of the other Sims he started with in your actual game right now?
The way you say it, no. There are some pet sims of the world creator who are much older and started with an imbibed "Age Freeze" potion. And I guess I played a mind trick again, because those great-great-grandchildren only happened because Marvin bought a time machine at the consignment store at some point. But yeah, Robert-Michel and Mae were already full adults at the start of the game, with Marvin being a toddler, while the three Tapuwhai heirs (Henry II., Elesabeti II. and Felepi) were just fledgling young adults. And yes, those Tapuwhai's are all dead in my current game, while Robert-Michel is 53 days old (YA starts at 75 in my game ). The power of chemistry and cooking, combined with some genie wish, yay.
Of course, my game operates on some kind of background story I never cared to elaborate on. It's more or less my "head canon" at the moment and not really necessary. To put it in human life terms: my game is about 40-50 years ahead of my updates.
The current king? His name is Scott Tapuwhai, the son of Elesabeti II. and Kurt (Schiffer), a full adult at the moment. Despite my explicit settings, Kurt managed to survive Elesabeti II., but his reign of terror only lasted a short time. Rumors that his death wasn't completely natural won't subside, but nobody is too keen on getting to the root of this. If we go back to the graduation ceremony of last post, we see Scott Tapuwhai, a teen at that time, emerge from the city hall.
A true Tapuwhai, as you can see.
Here he is as a YA with his father, Kurt.
Given he seemed to have no interest in bonding or reproducing, I had to actually give him a very personal kick in the posterior, so he married Allyson Ngatea, the daughter of the leader of all media on the island, whom the Tapuwhai family had "invited" to live with them in the palace in order to keep an eye on him. It all stays in the family in the end.
Needless to say that the wire to the media is now shorter than it has ever been, given Allyson heads the media herself. And she has a much better idea of how to fleece the populace while having them love her at the same time than Kurt ever had.
Allyson is a full adult nowadays and still quite pretty.
And here is a pic of the teenage son of Allyson and Scott, the crown prince Allen.
I noticed he chose one of Nelly Gao's daughters, or in other words, Robert-Michel's granddaughter, as his girlfriend. Well, if that lasts, this would finally make a solid connection between the two families. But who knows. Allen still has some time to grow up.
That's it for a glimpse into the "future" of the updates (or my present time). Then again, I'm not sure I'll post much else of this particular development, given it gets a tad boring.
@Gguy Awesome pics. Bridgeport makes for such a wonderful background of pictures, even if the topic is quite sad.
I would suggest to use NRaas Porter for the move so you can make sure all gravestones will move with your family to the next town.
@Lucy_Henley That pic of the time portal with Emit is magical. Great update.
@lisasc360 Well, if that doesn't look like a happy family . Enjoyable update.
@GraceyManor That coronation suit looks really good.
@bekkasan Heh, yes, I don't think faded colors look bad. They just tell a story. There are a few "wicker" floors in the carpet section, I think, so you should be all set
Thanks. The smiley underpants are the ones with the heart as default. They also have a hand print .
That's a magical "moonlight in the snow" picture. Love it!
Loved the last update. Unfortunately, I don't have an attic with random spare furniture or a genie to arrange that at will, but at least I have a guest bed .
I had to smile at Layla and Lee getting hearts for each other.
You know, I had to get my extra glasses to see that Bekka's legs weren't hairy but sported a specific tattoo .
Anyway, great update with lovely pics.
@Sprottenham Congrats at Leya being pregnant.
I had to laugh at Patrik's advances.
Poor Solvej. Reminds me of my Bridgeport game. There, the growing season lasts from the beginning of summer to the end of summer .
Great update!
@Turjan Under normal circumstances, I'd only have to put the gravestones in someone inventory during the move. But since i deleted them, they're gone for good. Also, i don't really want to resort to mods. I like sticking to the base game, the dlcs i own and a few select store items.
I’ve been wanting to build a sleazy/trashy bar in Bridgeport for a while now and after 3 days of on and off layout decisions and questionable CASt choices I’m finally almost done. Notice how I said almost, I’ll probably spend another week changing things around, but anyway....
This is the outside, I’m not sure if I want to leave it on this lot or move it more in town.
And it wouldn’t be a trashy bar without a hot tub with questionably murky water!
Excuse the bad lighting, I’m still working on lighting for most of the bar.
And then of course a full on dancer stage, I found a mod that lets you assign dancers to the lot so this should be interesting once I figure it out.
I have another empty corner in the bar that I forgot to take a screenshot of, I need some ideas of what to put. It’s not that big but still empty looking. I might add a bubble blower but I’m not sure yet.

I tried playing a little more with the Delaunays but the game was just running too slowly for it to be enjoyable. I do have a few screenshots I’ll add later (I’m on my phone right now).
I did finally buy a new desktop PC which may help make a difference when playing the game. It’s not going to be arriving for a bit, though, I got it from a custom-build site.
I like his new bedtime clothes, especially the smiley at his back! I thought it was side-splitting for the devs to create such undies.
Ah, so Robert-Michel is much, much older than all of the other Sims he started with in your actual game right now? Do the Princess and her husband still live? And who is king/leader of the island now?
Yeah, well, he was always dressed in this low criminal who wants to get a higher position in the Mafia clan.... But was it stylish? At the island certainly.
Sorry, I have never discovered his freckles before, I´ve insited on not wearing my glasses before, but now that I wearing them while reading I discover so much more details...
Furthermore I got always distracted by his eyes. I love the shape of them!
Thanks for the link, I´ll install it and see how my game reacts to even more CC... (In certain towns it is sooo painful to play because of stutter and Error 12 savings that I don´t know if this skin is der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt so that the towns are not able to be saved anymore. Yes, I am looking at you Moonlight Falls!!)
Ah, so you rearrange and style the houses after you´ve placed them. That wasn´t to be seen on the pictures. (If I place lots from the bin I always end up to change them completely, even if I have already did so before...)
Yes, I have such route fixes and the rabbithole has more doors mod, too, moreover I have the mod which hides the stomping as well, but they do it still sometimes. Or just plainly forget what they wanted to do... Silly Sims....
What I´ve meant with mean was that my mean Sims always are happy when they hear babies cry, so I thought that Robert-Michel´s moodlet system would have shown a happy one as well because I thought that I could remember that he was evil?
Henning is the queen consort, he is a witch and the fairy council which allowed Freia to be queen of her folks (a queen or king is chosen by all the other fairy kings and queens at a Thing (German word and pronounciation)) generously allowed Freia to have Henning as her husband, but didn´t want him to have power over the fairies she has power over.
So their relationship changed during their years together, because Freia felt more and more conceitedly towards Henning....atm they don´t have a healthy relationship anymore...

Today, Crystal Birch, one of the original members of the Birch household passed away. Her age caught up with her. Also, Taylor got engaged, married and had a kid, but that happened a few days ago (I didn't take any pictures of that. Also, i kinda stopped posting for a while).
If i hadn't deleted their tombstones while trying to fix their glitched ghosts, i would have placed her parents' graves next to hers. It's gonna suck losing them from the family tree once i eventually move out of Bridgeport.

Thomas and Charlotte were now able to socialise, and they had fun playing peekaboo in the playpen. I hope they continue to develop a strong bond as they get older!
Ah, every parent's favourite task... potty training. Guillaume decided he'd take charge of this one. As he waited for Thomas to finish, he gazed wistfully out of the window at his sculpting station, no doubt dreaming of what he'd rather be doing... ah well.
Later that evening, he had fun playing with the cats. I don't quite get the attraction of a laser beam myself, but then, I'm not a cat.
Thomas was enjoying playing with his teddy bear when he got the shock of his life - it disappeared! Ah, his witch powers were beginning to manifest...
Whilst at work, I was given the opportunity to run a vaccine clinic at the local festival grounds. (Pretty apropos given the current COVID vaccine drive!) The patients didn't look too impressed with the needle, but they soon realised it wasn't as bad as they thought.
When I got home, I felt distinctly unwell... perhaps the twins would be getting a sibling soon!
Recently, an odd object had appeared in the town. Rumours were flying around, claiming that it was some sort of time travelling device! Guillaume decided to go and check it out. He was surprised to see an odd-looking man step out of the portal, who introduced himself as Emit Relevart.
(I didn't get any screenshots of Guillaume in the future! But he did check the lotto records... I think he also got all the bot building books. I'm not sure, it's been a month since I actually played
As I got home from work that day... I was definitely pregnant!
Charlotte's toy also disappeared!
I'm naturally a workaholic, so I enjoy working. I was happy, therefore, when my fellow medical staff at work told me that I could do some work from home during my pregnancy.
Guillaume's gamble paid off - literally! He won 52,499 Simoleons!
I went into labour at home, as I had done with the twins.
I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who I called Madeleine.

Lilie the cat also ended up having kittens, but I forget what they're called.
Pt.1
Nathan came outside to play with his toys while he was waiting for the school bus to show up and Scout was chasing after his ball.
Once the school bus got here, the bus driver honked his horn for Nathan a couple of times before Nathan got on the bus.
Nathan to the bus driver: There wasn't any need to honk the horn twice as I was on my way.
Bus Driver: I just wanted to make sure that you heard me out here as I don't want you to be late for school if that is okay by you!
Nathan: Yeah, whatever. But I was making my way out when you honked the first time.
Bus Driver: Well I didn't see you coming out.
Nathan: Well you could see me if you weren't parked so far up the road away from my driveway, now would you?
Bus Driver: Well it's against the law to block people's driveways in case of an emergency that might arise at your house. So I will continue to park where I'm supposed to park when picking you up. Do you understand?
Nathan mumbling: Yes I understand but I don't like it.
Bus Driver mumbling to himself: Little brat!
Nathan: What did you say?
Bus Driver: Nothing!
After Nathan Left and I was done playing in our newly made sandbox, I went in to fix my breakfast which was Strawberry Parfait, YUMMY...
While I was eating my breakfast, the time portal rumbled and 2 future Sims came through, 1 human and 1 plumbot that goes by the name of Number 6. They both got into taxi cabs and drove off.
Number 6: What? You've never seen a plumbot drive before?
After I had cleaned up my dirty dishes, I head on out to the garden as it needed tending to. But before I could do anything, I get a call from Marcus Da Silva (@thuggishsplicer Sim) asking me out on a date. But of course I turned him down since I am already in a relationship with my son's daddy. Marcus Understood which is great as I hate for people to be mad when I turn them down.
After hanging up with Marcus, I started tending to my garden as there was some plants ready to be harvested.
Then I get a call from Lucille Spenster who wanted to talk for a little bit, so I agreed to talk to her. She just wanted to know how we were all doing and if I needed any help taking care of the house or taking care of my son and I told her thanks but I got everything handle. So we talked for another minute or 2 before she had to go.
After I was done tending to my garden, I wanted to water my plants but I had to kick the garden fountain a few time while cussing at it calling it a piece of garbage and that it should be in the garbage. But I like it too much to get rid of it, so it will stay and I will just have to keep kicking to make it work.

After getting the fountain turned on, I took care of the chickens by collecting what eggs that they had laid as well as feeding them more of the chicken feed. Then I talked to Charles the Evil Chicken for a minute.
I then sold my sculpture as I had a buyer for it which is good as I can now start another one that can be sold as well.
Nathan's class had a fieldtrip to the Bistro today. Maybe he'll want to be a top chef when he goes up...
Anne Droid had heard a noise outside, so she came to see what was going on to only find me working on my next sculpture.
After Anne Droid watched me for a few minutes, she went off to practice on her horseshoe throws.
When Nathan had gotten home, he changed his school clothes and into his swim clothes as he was about to lay out in the sun but I told him that he needed to do his homework first before he can do anything else so that we're not up again all night with him trying to get it done.
Scout was out on the front porch when he had a little accident...
So Donny had came outside to clean it up but ended up getting a phone call from Kay Pennington asking him out on a date but he turned her down explaining to her that he's still with me.
Donny then started mopping up the puddle that Scout left behind as he didn't want that to soak through the boards and have the front porch rot from it as well as making it stinky.
After he cleaned up the dog pee, I decided to try to teach Scout how to sit.

As it was getting dark out, I was putting on the finishing touches of my latest statue so that I can try to get that one sold as well.
Then I headed on inside to start fixing dinner which is spaghetti with vegetable sauce...
When Nathan got done with his homework, he went and played in the sandbox for a little bit.
While he was getting the sand ready to build a starfish, he found his pink bunny buried in the sandbox and placed it next to him so that he can put it in the toybox later.
Donny finally got Scout to sit down, so now Scout has learned a new trick.
After preparing the stuff that I needed for our dinner tonight, I placed it on the stove so that it can cook up.
SS saying out loud to herself: This smells yummy...
Of course I couldn't wait until everyone was inside to start eating, So I grabbed my bowl and then yelled for everyone else to come get theirs when I had sat down. So when they all got inside, I was already done with my dinner.
Then when Nathan was done, he placed his dirty plate into the dishwasher. Then he headed into the bathroom so that he can get his shower before heading off to bed.
While Nathan was getting his shower, Donny came over and grabbed me by the hands and then asked me if he's told me yet today on how beautiful I am before giving me a kiss.

After our steamy kiss, we just looked into each others eyes both thinking the same thing...
Afterwards, we both went into Nathan's room to tuck him into bed. Then we started kissing in his room but Nathan told us that he didn't want to see us kissing like that and told us to get out of his room.
Donny headed into the bathroom while I had one last look at Nathan for the night before meeting up with Donny in the shower.
Then afterwards, we did some cuddling in the bed.
Then a little bit of making out before we headed under the covers for a little bit of more fun.
Then it was off to sleep as it was 2:00 am and Donny needed his sleep before having to get up for work.
And then Anne Droid went to her charging station when she seen that her battery was almost drained.
And then Donny turned over and held me while I was sleeping which I just love when he does that...

Arthur knew of one spot where this so called tomb might be, and
that was deep within the old mines near the windmill.He and Brandy
raced toward the mines as fast as she could run.
The mines were extremely dark, and very difficult to navigate, one
could easily get lost or lose their Barings if one wasn't careful.
Arthur slowly followed the wooden steps further down into the mine.
After many hours of walking and clearing rubble, Arthur finally
reached the bottom where he found a "key stone" made out of stone.
This must contain the needed healing powers to heal Belle.Now if
he could only find his way back out...
Merlin: Might want to go into the other room Arthur.
Arthur: -croaks?-
Merlin: You might give her a startle...give her a chance to wake up.
Arthur: -_-
Merlin did his magic, and it seemed the stone lived up to its rumors,
Belle slowly woke.
Belle: Ah! Mutant toad...get that thing out of here!
Merlin: Don't! its Arthur...
When Belle realized who it was, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Merlin: My girl! That's not very nice, he risked his neck to save you.
Belle: I'm sorry, I can't help myself...you just look so ridicioulous.
Don't breathe on me, your breathe stinks.
Merlin: We can't leave him as toad for the rest of his life.
Belle: Well, I don't know what to do.
Merlin: I might know of one way...
Belle: If you are suggesting what I think you are, the answer is no!
I am never, and I mean never, ever never kissing a icky toad.
Merlin: Maker! He helped you...
Belle:....I better not turn into a toad...
Belle: Not on the mouth! that's gross.On the cheek only.
Belle quickly placed a kiss upon Arthur's cheek.
Arthur: Thank you
Merlin: Now, we have to deal with morgause, and no better way
than to hide in plain sight.
part 2 coming
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Morgause: Hidden in plain sight my eye merlin! Do you really
think my magic is so primitive that it can't sense danger as it
approaches.
Merlin: Primitive is exactly the right word.. Primitive and
dangerous!
Merlin snapped his fingers and they disappeared.
Morgause: Cute little trick, but I think you'll find my powers have
grown much stronger.
Merlin: My dear, you obviously missed the point of all your training.
You really think you scare me?
Morgause: Come on and fight.Let's see who the real magician is.
Merlin: Yaous Acaarum Axmion
Morgause: Alright, you win round one.But I am not finished quite yet!
Merlin: Oh no, you're far from finished! There is much more turmoil
and havoc for you to cause.
Morgause: Stop that future stuff, like you know it all.You thought you
knew about Arthur and look what happened.
Merlin: Just because you managed to move things around, doesn't
mean they won't come to the same sorry end.No what's next, my
dear little witch?
Morgause: I am not a witch! I am a magician!
Merlin: You missed....
Morgause: I am through with playing games...you give me no choice
Merlin
Morgause: Its time to be done with Arthur once and for all.
Arthur: What?
Morgause: Revoacia Cideycentesis Dohla Angiaeana Phantoaomis Herac
Merlin: Morgause, you don't know what your doing.
Morgause: Suleyul Nawni Zuluargo Impiiaris Kalioayrun
Morgause: Ouch! Not again! ow!
Belle: Arthur! Oh no!
Merlin: Come on my boy, wake up! you have a kingdom to run.
Belle: I shouldn't have taken that sword!
Merlin: Its not you my girl, you are not to blame.And the one
who is, I think has learned her lesson.
Belle: Look he's waking up.
Merlin: King Arthur....
Arthur: I guess I really have to do this...
Merlin: You'll get used to it.
Arthur: I guess first things first, off with her head.
Belle: -giggles-
Merlin: No, my boy that's not how it works.haha!
She too, has a destiny to fufill.
Morgause: What are you going to do to me?
Merlin: I think its time to go back to orknee, there's a lovely
young King Lock, you should meet.
Morgause: You can't just send me so far away! not to the country.
I'll just die out there! I surely will.
Merlin: Eventually yes, but not for many years.
Morgause: Anything but Orknee, its so dreary and cold there!
I'll be a loyal servant to my brother...I do love him after all.
Merlin snaps his fingers and Morgause was sent away.
Arthur: So she's really my sister.Is she going to be more trouble?
Merlin: I can't promise that she won't.How's that for answer?
Arthur: Oh please tell me what happens.Isn't that what you're suppose
to do?
Merlin: In time.In time.
Belle: Excuse me...Can I go home now?
Merlin: Oh dear...
Belle: I don't like the sound of that.
Merlin: Well, Belle.I'm afraid I have bad news.
I been holding off telling you, because frankly
you had enough stress on your plate...
Belle: Wait a minute, you just sent morgause to Orkley,
or whatever that is, with just a flick of your hands.You
telling me you don't have enough juice left to send me home?
Merlin: Time travel is a tricky thing Belle.Its not so much a sending
matter, as a drawing matter.You see, magic has the power to pluck
someone out of time into our own.But you see, no magic has the power
to send someone through time.
Belle: Oh now...this won't do! I can't live here.First of all the food is
gross..Secondly, let's not start about bathing schedules....
Merlin, you keep speaking of people having their own destiny, and
fate...well mine can't be here.
Arthur: But why not?
Belle: I don't belong here...I should go home...
Arthur: But why can't this be home?
Belle: I need to go for a walk.
Arthur: Belle..
Merlin: Let her go, my boy.She has to have some time alone..
Now to get you on the throne...I think I can wipe the kingdom's
memory of Belle pulling the sword...and we can stick it back into
the stone..Let's go.
Arthur: But I don't want to leave her here alone...
Merlin: Give her some space, Arthur...We'll check up
on her later...

So if anyone is interested in the full update then you have to get over to the Sims 3 Story Corner to read it there.
Haldir was sooo happy to have his kids back!
While he took Emerson out of the child safety seat, Misty ran upstairs to her room to see if her toys were still there.
Then Haldir through Emerson into the air and caught him safely and listened to his little one´s joyful laughter.
"Dada, high!" Emerson whooped with joy. His giggles made Haldir´s heart beat faster, he was so happy to hear this precious laugh again.
Haldir could feel his littlest one being hungry so he sat him down at the floor and gave him a bottle.
Emerson grabbed it as if he hadn´t eaten anything today.
He could see that Misty was downstairs again and asked her if she missed some toys, well aware that she couldn´t because he left her room untouched since she was gone.
"No daddy, everything is there except the few toys I was allowed to take with me to mum."
"Shall I ask her to give them back to you?"
"No, daddy, I don´t want this toys back."
"But your favourite teddy is still-"
"NO, DADDY, I don´t want it back, please don´t ask me again!"
Haldir looked at her with concern, he knew that he had to get to know why she was so unwilling to get her toys back, even her favourite teddy without she couldn´t sleep in the past.
He watched her painting and noticed the dark colors she chose to draw with and knew that he had to watch her closely the following weeks. 'What on earth did Emelie do to her, why is she so fearful and angry? I should consider taking her to a psychiatrist when she shows more strange behavior!'
Then he felt a little hand on his trousers.
"Dada, high!"
So Emerson wanted to fly again, a wish Haldir promptly and happily fullfilled.
But Haldir couldn´t wait for his son to walk and talk properly, so he sat down with Emerson and began to teach him how to talk.
It was important for Haldir to be able to talk with his kids, now that they were back with him!
Emerson had so much fun to learn together with his dada that Haldir could even teach him how to walk, Emerson wasn´t even tired the slightest.
When Emerson had learned to walk and talk Haldir snuggled with him and Emerson talked about what had happened this day.
"I cry when I fall, dada! But not when you hold me!"
Haldir could have listened to his sweet voice for years to come!
"Yes, my big boy, you didn´t cry, you were very brave."
"Dada, I luv you!"
Haldir could barely hold back his tears when he heard that.
He tickled Emerson´s little belly to make him laugh again and to wipe away the sad feeling which came to his mind about all the loss he faced in the last month, not being able to be with his kids.
After such an eventful day Misty and Emerson were very tired early in the evening so Haldir brought them to bed.
So Haldir and Travis had some time alone before going to bed.
While they were watching the stars Haldir told Travis about his concerns regarding Misty.
"I have to watch for her, you know. She is more a loner than before and the picture she painted gives me a bad feeling."
"Yes, but you don´t have to watch for her on your own, you know? I am here for you and Misty and Emerson as well."
"I know! And you know what? This gives me so much strength and hope for the future! I am so happy to have you in my life!"

Belle: Maker's breathe! Where are you taking me?
Merlin: To Arthur. He refused to pull the sword unless you're
there! Now stop your whining.
Belle: I will only stop my whining if you send me home.
Merlin: I already told I can't.
Arthur: Good morning Belle.
Belle: Good morning, now will you kindly pull the sword, so
we can all go on with our lives.
Arthur: Oh...someone's a bit touchy.
Belle: Just pull it.
Arthur: Alright Alright.
Belle: What are you waiting for? If you don't pull it, I'll pull it
for you.
Merlin: You will not! That is how this all got started.
Merlin: Now, Belle go run and spread the news...my spell should
have worked.Let's get you back to the castle.
Belle: There, you should be all ready for your coronation tomorrow.
Arthur: Is there nothing I can say to make you stay?
Belle: No.If I'm going to be stuck in this backwards time, I'd like
to go explore.
Arthur: Please don't get killed.
Belle: I won't.I can handle myself, don't worry.
Arthur: Before you take your leave....
Belle: Yes?
Arthur: Goodbye...
the next morning:
Arthur: Is she here?
Merlin: No, I'm sorry.And we can't put your coronation off
any longer.
Arthur: I understand.
Knight: Will you solemnly swear to govern the people of Camelot
according to their laws and customs?
Arthur: I solemnly swear to do so.
Knight: Will you to your power execute law and justice in all
your judgements.
Arthur: I will.
Knight: Then I crown you "Arthur" King of Camelot.
Knight: Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, your King.
Belle: Merlin! Why in the maker did you whisk me here? I thought
you had no juice left?
Merlin: For the millionth time, I already explained it to you.Magic
can not time travel people "back" to their time.I whisked you here
so you could be here for his coronation, like a friend should be.
Belle: No, you whisked me here to be a grumpy meddling..
Merlin: Congratulations, your majesty.
King Arthur: Thank you, Merlin..If it wasn't for you...
Merlin: I wasn't alone, Arthur...I had help.
Belle: Congratulations are in order, your majesty.
King Arthur: Belle, its good to see you.
Belle: I was just taking my leave, your majesty, but not before I
sent my best wishes.
King Arthur: Belle...
Belle: Yes, your majesty?
King Arthur: ....Thank you.
King Arthur: Before you take your leave, might you have time
for a ride?
Belle hesitated, but felt obligated to say yes.
Bell: Of course.
King Arthur: Thank you, my lady.
King Arthur: Do you not like it here, Belle?
Belle: It certainly is different from home...
King: Arthur: But Camelot has its advantages.
King Arthur: Its true! the crown has made it clear..
he climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
King Arthur: he winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
Belle: -giggles- I suppose all the Autumn leaves fall in neat little
piles?
King Arthur: No, m'lady, they blow away completely.
Of course
Belle: -giggles- Of course.
King Arthur: Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not

so here's a screenshot of Thornton with a cc skin and hair.
@GraceyManor Yes that is true. But, this is the sims and your story can have anyone be his kinfolk.
uh, Belle, don't do it! You don't know what germs that beggar has. Didn't your mama teach you not to double dip or eat after someone else like that! Ugh!
lol at Arthur getting the frog curse. He's cute!
Glad to see Arthur riding to the rescue to find a cure.
lol at Belle not wanting to kiss the froggie Arthur.
Well hopefully she won't cause more trouble. I was agreeing with Arthur though. "off with her head" certainly assures no more trouble. LOL
Bummer, Belle can't get home. Does she really want to?
Arthur looks great in his royal clothing.
lol at Belle arguing with Merlin. Yes, he is right she should be at the coronation!
Arthur is surely trying to get her to stay. Will they have their happy ever after? lol, I never know with your stories!
@lisasc360 Nice to see you post again. I do hope your levels are stabilized soon. Those ups and downs are frustrating.
There are some fixes for some of the window issues on MTS. I don't know if it will fix your specific problems though.
Cute seeing the horses visit.
She is cute playing in the sandbox!
I enjoyed reading your updates on the family.
@emorrill Comments on your thread! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
@Turjan I think I've gotten so used to the floor I don't like anything else. I'll get there eventually.
Maybe I'll try wicker next!
oh my, that hair, the costume...which I actually like better than a wicker suit.
I love the smiley patterns on his undies. I do have a smiley pattern for tshirts but it wasn't made quite right and it isn't high enough so I quit using it.
@Karritz Congrats on getting the new video up.
@Gguy Sorry about Crystal. It looks like she was loved and had mourners.
@Lucy_Henley Congrats on the new puter. Hope it helps you with your lag issues when you get it up and running.
Nice to see your family again.
Adorable picture of the toddler with his disappearing teddy!
@AlexaKry Loved the update, comments on your thread.
@Silverofdreams30 Thornton looks awesome as usual.

Sorry about the length of this update.
Chapter 11.2 - Spring in Sprottenham (March, April and May 2021)
After a period of strong winds and heavy rain at the end of february, snow made its return again in early March. Gardening season wasn't here yet.
Since she couldn't do any garden work yet, Solvej had bought a music box to soothe herself with..
And Gaute was eating dirt from the floor...
Then Leya and Gaute decides to get romantic..
Very romantic...
Leya: Let's make babies...
Gaute: Oh hell yeah!!
Hmm, the ice cream truck must be out early this year..
The crib in the background is Bodils old crib, and for some reason they haven't thrown it out yet..
Rune: By Kraken... pirates on port side!! Man the cannons!!
Gaute was invited to a party over at Karoline and Kabelo Gundersens house. Dresscode: Swimwear. And of course, Gaute wasn't the kind to say no to a party. Especially not a swimwear party. He used to host quite of few of those when he still lived in "Gufo Triste", and they used to get quite wild, too. I'm sure the only thing keeping complaints from neighbours at a low level back then was the lack of actual neighbours..
Picture: Karoline Gundersen is an opinionated and temperamental woman.
Gaute has a soft spot for temperamental women in bikinis (or maybe just women in bikinis..), so he tries to flirt with her, but to no success.
Solvej Rasmussen dumpster diving after finishing her shift at the community theatre. Findings: A japanese beetle and a Zephyr butterfly.
The dumpster diving made her sick and in need of a bath, and of course afterwards the bathtub broke.
By mid-March the rain was back and the snow had melted again. Spring was beginning to make its arrival..
By late March it was time for spring festival, but it was quite the rainy experience.. Probably why both Rune and Bodil decided to run towards the toilet even though none of them were particularly in need of going. Atleast the toilets would provide shelter from the rain..
Bodil: (standing in front of a toilet stall) I'm not enjoying this spring festival.. it rains to much..
Gaute and Solvej didn't let the rain stop them, though.
Leya didn't mind them dancing, and decided to get her face painted.
So did Bodil, but she still wasn't very happy about the rain and decided to go home afterwards.
Patrik was the only one that wasn't at the spring festival grounds, because he had a match to play at the stadium. Atleast the Sprottenham Totspurs won that match, 7-4. Good going!
Rune decided to go for face paint too. Hmm, yeah..uh, what can I say... looking good, your Royal Highness. :P
After the match Patrik could join the spring festival too, and decides to flirt with Leya. It still doesn't lead anywhere.. you're so inappropriate. Both of you are married...
Yup, there you go. Solvej finally saw what was going on and had a reaction.
Then she runs over to talk to the food stand clerk. "I'm going to be a star one day", she says.
Gaute is still over at Karoline Gundersens party talking about rain. Well, what else is there to talk about...
Leya and Rune had gone home, and then the rain let up. Patrik was searching for eggs.
The food stand clerk had started a water balloon fight with Solvej. Eventually, Solvej also went back home to play guitar outside again. Patrik stayed behind to continue his egg hunt..
Leya was inside with Rune and Bodil, and both of them competed about making her read a bedtime story for them.
At 6:30 in the morning, Gaute the party animal was still over at Karoline Gundersens house, and now she was mad at him for not having gone home yet..
Gaute, you can't flirt your way out of everything.. and you have to be at work in.. well, 15 minutes!
Straight from the party and off to work... The life of Gaute.
April
Patrik bought a seesaw for the kids.
Leya finished a painting called "April Forest" worth 375 simoleons and decided to sell it.
Solvej could finally get her hands dirty and do some gardening work.
Jorunn Vaddelmyr had joined Rune after school. I wonder.. is there any connection between her last name and Vaddelmyra Trailer Park in Sunset Valley? I don't know..
Bodil didn't care about her homework, she was busy ruling her kingdom, of course.
Jorunn: *farts* – Haha! Did you hear that?
Bodil: Oh... my... god...
Patrik: Did you just fart!? No farting in our kitchen! You're just like your mother Selma.. a complete nasty slob!
Rockin'! Solvej made 802 simoleons from playing guitar on the street.
May:
Old King Frost returned on the first night in May.. oops, maybe Solvej was a little early with her garden work! Lets hope the crops will survive...
Leya woke up feeling nauseous this morning for some unknown reason. Probably ate to much ice cream from the ice cream truck,
Leya: "I love you so much..."
Gaute: "Nasty! Her breath is like the smell of garbage! What has she been eating?"
Gaute: "I guess she could need a massage, though.."
Picture: Mitchell 12.
Other news around town: Leni and Daniel Dahl-Blankblomst (and their son Jonn) had moved out of their home in Mitchell 12 and to a new home in Cliffon 9.
Picture: Cliffon 9.
Leni had also given birth to a new boy which they called Torgeir. This was probably the reason for their move. Congratulations on their new home and congratulations to the new parents!
And Solvej is just being Solvej.
Leya talks about rain, Solvej talks about music.
Patrik is being grumpy about Solvejs job at the Theatre.
This offends Solvej, of course.
Then he flirts with Leya again, right in front of Solvej. What do you see in this man, Solvej, I wonder?
Leya being just Leya.
As May progresses and summer is getting closer, the weather is getting better. Solvej plays guitar, Leya and Gaute is dancing. Patrik wants to dance with Leya, but Leya is busy..
And then.. Leya finally learns that, yes, she is in fact pregnant. New life in the making! Leya is very happy to be pregnant.
I have Gaute finally do some laundry, because even though they bought a new washing machine and tumble dryer this household has been really terrible at that. And oops, looks like Rune was in the bath tub... sorry, my bad!
Leya: Oh, mighty Queen Bodil! I bow down to thee, and will do anything you sayeth!
As May is close to it's end, and June is almost here a hailstorm decides to drift slowly over Sprottenham.
Leya decides to reveal the good news to Patrik..
Leya: Hold on.... I'm pregnant!!
Patrik: Oh.. really? Congratulations!
And Patrik is being Patrik...
Patrik: Hey, I just bought this new camera.. say, shall we go inside for a little.. photoshoot? If you know what I mean...
No, no, Patrik.. what exactly are you asking? She is a pregnant married woman! Have you no limits!? Of course, Leya declines..
*edit: Fixed a mistake with one of the names. When you can't get the names of your own sims right even...
Sub blogs: #01 Sunset Valley. #02: Lake Onebega #03: Sprottenham #04: Bewickton
@bekkasan, Thank you...
I took a look over there but didn't find anything that I could see. I never had any issues with those windows before as they have been the same ones that I put in there when I built the house in 2012. So I really don't know what happened since I've last played my save last year to now other than that it could be possible that one of Win10 updates messed them up since other players were having issues with textures in their game after some of the Win10 updates.
I love when I see the wild animals showing up on the lots in the game...
Thanks. She had fun playing in the sandbox...
Thank you...
So since I had a Simming friend that wanted to send their sim to my game to perform, I went back to my Starlight Shores save so that I could host their sim. (But of course when it was time for their performance, no sim showed up just like the last time. I wish that there was a mod out there that fixes that but if there is, I couldn't find anything for it.)
But anyhow, I will still show you to pictures that I took of my Sims...
So it was night and the Birdie family was getting hungry, so Kiwi Birdie who is a Genie conjured up an Apple Pie for the family to eat. Once she sets the table, she calls for everyone to come and eat. Willie Birdie who is still in his werewolf form eats his like a dog while Williamena and Kiwi eat the normal way.
After everyone was done eating, they all went and washed their dishes up in the separate sinks in the house. Of course Willie ended up breaking his sink, so he needed to repair it before it could flood out the bathroom anymore than what it was. Williamena came in and mopped up whatever she could and then she needed to wait until he was done on there to get the rest up.
After they were done in the bathroom, they decided to go sing some karaoke songs on their karaoke machine.
When they were done singing, Williamena started flirting with Willie and she hinted about having a little funny in her fairy house...
So off to the fairy house they go while she entered into it first followed by Willie.
The fairy house started rocking...
After Willie left for work, Kiwi headed on over to the festival as she wanted to do some skating.
Williamena was on her way to the festival but had to pay their bills first so that they don't get a visit from the repo-man.
Kiwi was asked by another skate to skate with them, so she accepted.
Williamena got there and headed over to the skating rink herself where she was a little bit unsteady on the skates.
Once the festival had opened up, more and more people gathered on the skating rink as well.
Then is was Williamena's turn to skate with someone but they ended falling down since Williamena hasn't gotten used to being on skates yet.
Then Kiwi skated with someone else but they too fall flat on their faces and rearends.
Kiwi was ready to perform for tips, so she got off of the skating rink and placed her tip jar down and started doing her mime tricks.
Willard Wright came over and they ended up having hearts for each other.
Willard booed Kiwi when she started to do her rope tug.
But clapped when she did her walking in the wind trick.
He then placed a $12 tip in her jar and continued to watch her show.
A wild horse showed up and had a little bit of an accident...
Then the wild horse started to run in her direction which reminded me of the running scenes from the movie "Get Out".
The horse went running over to where the soccer nets are at.
After Kiwi was done with her performance, she headed on over to the venue about an 1 earlier that was hosting the sims that was suppose to perform from the simporting request. While she was there, Willard Wright called wanting to know if Kiwi wanted to talk to him, so she talked to him for a little bit.
The time came for the sim to perform which was 7:30 PM Wednesday, she was a no show but I kept my sim there at the venue for a few hours more in hopes that the performer would show up but didn't. So she went home being as everyone else was leaving since they were being rained on.

Ah, I guess it's my faulty color vision playing tricks, but Thornton looks a bit "off" to me.
@emorrill Thanks! Glad you like it.
@AlexaKry Thank you very much.
Ah, okay, consort makes sense in that context. I somehow already knew that, I guess. Looks like the little ones survived the ordeal completely unharmed, but it looks like that wonderful ex-wife played some mind tricks on Misty. Did she have her toys spy on her or use them for some "advanced educational purposes"? Anyway, I enjoyed that update.
Heh, yes, I love that set of underwear. I use most of them.
Regarding the skin, I failed to mention that it's the Mango Smoothie one, not the Yoghurt variant. Mikezumi also uses that, but the non-default version and only for the sims in her active breeding experiment.
Oh well, I can relate to that "glasses" issue. I had to buy new ones now, because my old ones didn't cut it anymore. It didn't help that I sat on them
Ah yes, Error 12's. I'm not there yet in Niua Simoa, but the load and save times already get on my nerves. I should probably try and delete all dreams and opportunities.
Regarding houses, I at least try to place some I'm happy with out of the box, so I do much less rebuilding than you do. However, unless I want to use the same houses over and over, there's always the need to remodel some of them. Which is what most of today's game time consisted of for me.
No, Robert-Michel never was evil. He was a "Loner" and had some of those compulsive traits ("Neat" and something else I forgot). He got over these things in the meanwhile (thanks to those marvels of technology the game has on offer). For whatever reason, he just didn't react to that baby at all. Then again, it may all just be a fluke, given the game tends to forget one sim out of a group for pretty much every action. The way you say it, no. There are some pet sims of the world creator who are much older and started with an imbibed "Age Freeze" potion. And I guess I played a mind trick again, because those great-great-grandchildren only happened because Marvin bought a time machine at the consignment store at some point. But yeah, Robert-Michel and Mae were already full adults at the start of the game, with Marvin being a toddler, while the three Tapuwhai heirs (Henry II., Elesabeti II. and Felepi) were just fledgling young adults. And yes, those Tapuwhai's are all dead in my current game, while Robert-Michel is 53 days old (YA starts at 75 in my game
Of course, my game operates on some kind of background story I never cared to elaborate on. It's more or less my "head canon" at the moment and not really necessary. To put it in human life terms: my game is about 40-50 years ahead of my updates.
The current king? His name is Scott Tapuwhai, the son of Elesabeti II. and Kurt (Schiffer), a full adult at the moment. Despite my explicit settings, Kurt managed to survive Elesabeti II., but his reign of terror only lasted a short time. Rumors that his death wasn't completely natural won't subside, but nobody is too keen on getting to the root of this. If we go back to the graduation ceremony of last post, we see Scott Tapuwhai, a teen at that time, emerge from the city hall.
A true Tapuwhai, as you can see.
Here he is as a YA with his father, Kurt.
Given he seemed to have no interest in bonding or reproducing, I had to actually give him a very personal kick in the posterior, so he married Allyson Ngatea, the daughter of the leader of all media on the island, whom the Tapuwhai family had "invited" to live with them in the palace in order to keep an eye on him. It all stays in the family in the end.
Needless to say that the wire to the media is now shorter than it has ever been, given Allyson heads the media herself. And she has a much better idea of how to fleece the populace while having them love her at the same time than Kurt ever had.
Allyson is a full adult nowadays and still quite pretty.
And here is a pic of the teenage son of Allyson and Scott, the crown prince Allen.
I noticed he chose one of Nelly Gao's daughters, or in other words, Robert-Michel's granddaughter, as his girlfriend. Well, if that lasts, this would finally make a solid connection between the two families. But who knows. Allen still has some time to grow up.
That's it for a glimpse into the "future" of the updates (or my present time). Then again, I'm not sure I'll post much else of this particular development, given it gets a tad boring.
@Gguy Awesome pics. Bridgeport makes for such a wonderful background of pictures, even if the topic is quite sad.
I would suggest to use NRaas Porter for the move so you can make sure all gravestones will move with your family to the next town.
@Lucy_Henley That pic of the time portal with Emit is magical. Great update.
@lisasc360 Well, if that doesn't look like a happy family
@GraceyManor That coronation suit looks really good.
@bekkasan Heh, yes, I don't think faded colors look bad. They just tell a story.
Thanks. The smiley underpants are the ones with the heart as default. They also have a hand print
That's a magical "moonlight in the snow" picture. Love it!
Loved the last update. Unfortunately, I don't have an attic with random spare furniture or a genie to arrange that at will, but at least I have a guest bed
I had to smile at Layla and Lee getting hearts for each other.
You know, I had to get my extra glasses to see that Bekka's legs weren't hairy but sported a specific tattoo
Anyway, great update with lovely pics.
@Sprottenham Congrats at Leya being pregnant.
I had to laugh at Patrik's advances.
Poor Solvej. Reminds me of my Bridgeport game. There, the growing season lasts from the beginning of summer to the end of summer
Great update!
Hehe it was a skin I tested on him, gotta love testing folders.

This is the outside, I’m not sure if I want to leave it on this lot or move it more in town.
And it wouldn’t be a trashy bar without a hot tub with questionably murky water!
Excuse the bad lighting, I’m still working on lighting for most of the bar.
And then of course a full on dancer stage, I found a mod that lets you assign dancers to the lot so this should be interesting once I figure it out.
I have another empty corner in the bar that I forgot to take a screenshot of, I need some ideas of what to put. It’s not that big but still empty looking. I might add a bubble blower but I’m not sure yet.
or not too well looking in the game.
