Yes, Damion is dark, and he’s evil. I guess what I find interesting about him is his complexity. It’s like he’s doing good, but he’s also kinda the reason bad stuff is happening to begin with. He’s weaving his web to collect 6 souls, but he’s also so entangled in the threads he’s weaving.
Damion wants redemption for past misdeeds, and seems to think the best way to go is to collect his precious souls.
I am gearing up for my third batch of sims in my main save to go to Uni.
They are currently in a custom prep-school. I have four more batches after them before I am done.
I have discovered that a little issue I had with the shorter teens mod wasn't a fluke.
The problem is with Sophia Bjergsen. She was already a teen when I put in my mod, so it did not effect her.
Unfortunately (but fortunately) she and my sim Kara Monteroy became the best of friends and are inseparable.
I aged Sophia down to a child and then aged her back up to a teen, so the mod could adjust her height.
Which was great because now they were the same height and Sophia no longer looked older than Kara.
But the mod doesn't like when you do that.
When Sophia aged up to a young adult for Uni, she stayed the same height.
She is a short young adult now.
But I like her being a shorty.
She's adorable.
Hugs and kisses will probably look glitchy if she takes a full height lover.
I can probably fix it if it's a problem though. I'll keep her a shorty for now.
@luciusstorm Welcome! I am already really enjoying your storytelling, you're getting me hooked.
@Metior_Ice and others, thank you so much for the reminder about the importance of leaving comments. Some of you are so wonderful about doing that. I give so many "likes" and "awesomes" but since you don't know they're coming from me, you all might not realize how much I am enjoying. I will try to do more of this!
@LilNerdySimmers These besties are absolutely adorable. Your screenshots are so high quality, and those are some great poses you have. I really wish I didn't feel so intimidated by getting into poses because I would love to have more pictures like these.

I am at the top of my next rotation through all my households, and I always start with the next generation of university students. This time around, I was focused on the dating relationships of all my uni students. There's a lot of juicy drama going on right now, with unexpected twists and turns, and it was a blast. What I do for my rotation is I play each household for three Sim days. In my mind this is roughly equivalent to one year, and I have the life stages set to last the amount of time that feels about right for a realistic lifespan for infancy, toddlerhood, childhood, teen years and adult years etc. For University, I play each dorm full of students for three days with aging on, then to keep their age even with the rest of my rotation I turn aging off and finish out the week/term. I play right up until almost the end of exam day, then rotate away before I get the prompt to enroll them in the next term. This works really well and is an effective way to actually play University on rotation. For mods, I have both the Chemistry System mod by Pancake1 and Wonderful Whims by Turbo. I imagine that the WW attraction is physical/romantic attraction, while the Chemistry System is more about friendship and conversational chemistry, since all Sims have this chemistry rating including family members etc. So, in order for me to keep two Sims in a relationship long-term, they have to have both good chemistry and find each other very attractive or extremely attractive. It makes it a real challenge to have Sims find their right match! AND, when two Sims have "wonderful" chemistry AND find each other extremely attractive, they are soulmates. I play pretty strictly that when these very rare soulmate matches occur, those Sims will drop everything else in life to be together.
These are my current University students and what's going on in their love lives!
This is Holly (short for Holiday). She is Summer Holiday's youngest daughter. Both her parents and her older sister Autumn are deceased. She is passionate about saving the environment and after University she plans to build her own tiny home, move to Evergreen Harbor and fully restore it to beauty. Holly has not focused on her love life as she is very driven and tries to keep busy to avoid feeling her grief. She's not above an occasional hookup but doesn't seem super interested in finding a long-term partner as of yet. But she has many friends, including 4 best girlfriends, who are in pictures all around her room below.
She and Anthony are also really close friends and are enjoying being in the dorm together
Anthony met the love of his life, Aeris, in high school. At first she didn't seem to be too into him but he became good friends with her, and next thing I knew she was calling up to ask him on a date. He was ecstatic. She has never wavered since and I love them. She is (quite obviously I think) the daughter of Sofia Bjergsen.) Anthony deals with internal conflict, as the aspiration he rolled was Angling Ace so he wants to become a skilled fisherman, but one of his randomized traits is Child of the Ocean, so whenever he goes fishing he has to deal with sad moodlets for hours after. I love this.
Acenith is the youngest of four children, and somewhat ambivalent about life. She was dating Taku Akiyama as teens, and I thought they were adorable, but unfortunately when she aged up to young adult, she rolled the Erratic trait (just like her father actually), and Taku suddenly (based on the chemistry mod) couldn't stand her, so he broke up with her.
She's hitting it off with Aram here who was over for a college party, but not sure this is really going anywhere.
Henri wants to become a world-famous DJ and managed to bring his DJ booth with him to university to keep skilling up. He's a goofball, creatively gifted, and extremely outgoing.
Henri is also flirting with a new roommate who just moved into the dorm, and they're really into each other so we'll see where this one goes.
No drama at all right now with Floyd (on the left) and his fiance Bennett (right). They got engaged on my last rotation at the Romance Festival after the Romance Guru told them they had a love to last the ages. They're extremely cute and definitely destined to be together. After a couple more years of University they will move together back into Floyd's family home, take care of his aging mother, and probably adopt a bunch of children together.
Ryu is up to something here... nothing interesting going on in his love life at the moment. He and Floyd actually had a brief moment in their early teen years but they weren't a good match and Ryu hasn't run into anyone who really excites him yet. He really wants to have a family though, so hopefully we find him someone.
Alia grew up on Sulani, the oldest of five children. She is a loner and is happiest when she finds time to herself to do her studies, especially since the general vibe growing up at the beach was always peaceful, but having so many siblings meant she rarely got that time alone.
Oh yes, she is also just as happy when her boyfriend Arlo comes around to see her. They are insanely cute together and I will never allow them to be separated. I completely love her joyful facial expression in this screen capture. I have some great pics of them from last rotation when they went to prom together, but that was in the past. This is Alia's first year at University and Arlo is still finishing high school but he will catch up soon.
And, saving my biggest drama for last. Jimmy got engaged to Miriam in my last rotation and they've been a couple since they met at a teen beach party in high school. I always thought they were pretty cute, but then... along came Andrew. Andrew and Miriam had been friends for a long time, but when Andrew aged up to Young Adult, something changed and suddenly he and Miriam had Wonderful Chemistry AND find each other extremely attractive, which means.... uhoh, they are soulmates... which is not a good sign for Miriam and Jimmy's engagement. At the romance festival, Andrew got Miriam aside and found a chance to tell her how he has been feeling these last few months, and that he wants their friendship to change and become so much more:
And wow, it looks like she feels the same! But uh-oh.... Jimmy has spotted this very visible flirting...
Jimmy wastes no time in breaking up with Miriam (here he is clearly saying "Bye Felicia"), and then in telling Andrew exactly what he thinks of this "sneaky" behavior.
Here is Jimmy some time later, still processing his loss:
But ooooooooh, a new roommate moves in and Jimmy's outlook starts to improve significantly:
Meanwhile, Miriam and Andrew are having no trouble falling into their new rhythms either. As hard as it is to go through a break-up, sometimes it's really the best thing for everyone in the end.

It was high time for Gwen to sit down with Miranda and have a talk...
... and share some things about the dangers of mixing magic and romance.
"Really, does he like you for you or because you put a spell on him?" Gwen asked.
"Well.. umm... how will I know?" Miranda stammered.
"Simple..."
"... we talk to him."
The next day, Gwen sat down with Imran and Miranda together and explained a bit about magic. Imran was fascinated. (Miranda just cringed.)
Later that evening, at the Gnome Arms, things were a little awkward.
... but really, Imran admitted, he liked Miranda and had since they were kids. If she was a little overeager about kissing, well that wasn't so bad. Maybe they could just start again and see where things went.
"I'm so OK with that," Miranda smiled.
A family dinner was a rare event these days, but it was nice for everyone to sit down together. For the first time in a long time, mom was just mom - instead of the glamorous superstar - and they could just chat about things. Really, Miranda thought, things are looking up.
"Soon," he mused. "Soon"

Continuing with Cyrils restaurant adventures. Running a restaurant isn't easy.
Cyril decided he would check up on tables to make good impressions with customers. Unfortunately he was laughed at on the first table he checked up on.
The only staff member he really liked was his host. He was a cool guy. He's a conspiracy theorist so whenever he took guest to their seats he would run like this all the time. At the end of the day Cyril thought they did better. However looking at the report...he had more expenses than revenue. Cyril wasn't going to give up, the restaurant had very little funds but it would come in soon. He had a restaurant critic coming in and he knew after their review more sims will come to dine. When she arrived he was there to greet her. After her order was taken, Cyril chatted with her to hopefully get a great review. She excused herself though and went to the ladies restroom. She just stared into the mirror While she was there, Cyril told his chef to make sure everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. He walked away and I noticed she was cooking an imaginary plate Good thing Cyril didn't notice When she returned to get table she started taking notes She finally received her order, and it was delivered by a less than happy waitress. Cyril hoped for the best. At the end she gave him a summary of review. Cyril was disappointed. She was going to publish his restaurant is for those "have a heart condition and must avoid excitement". What made it worse was his was still losing money. What a horrible night he thought.
After a bad night...yet again Cyril stayed after closing to clean up. He kept thinking he needed to make serious changes to his staff. Cyril had a few more dishes to clean when Neyla stopped by. She wanted to give him some big news. He told her he could use some good news, and she delivered.
Neyla was pregnant The news lifted Cyril's spirit. He left with a smile to finish cleaning the dishes. With a baby on the way they needed to save more money. Neyla was the only one who was really bringing money in. The restaurant just didn't make enough for Cyril or his business partner to get a cut. Anything that needed repair Cyril would handle. No more calling in the repairman. The day they bought a crib Cyril felt they were ready. He couldn't wait for their baby. Time had gone by and Neyla was close to being due. The restaurant made some progress. For the first since opening his partner Jeremy stopped by to take a look. He went as a customer with his partner. His partner like Neyla also had doubts, but he seemed to be happy that the restaurant was full with customers outside and inside. The night went well. Back home I noticed Cyril had trouble using the computer. He'd always look away like this Cyril was prescribed glasses and was able to see better. Things got somewhat better back at the restaurant too. He was able to hire another waiter. That day he was feeling very dizzy. It was hard to concentrate at work. After closing he quickly headed home to rest. He was going to hit the hay when Neyla had gone into labor. They left immediately to the hospital. Cyril was panicking the entire time
They talked about names for the baby before and agreed that Cyril would pick the name if they had a girl and Neyla would if they had a boy. They had a baby girl Cyril chose to name her after his late mother. Neyla welcomed Piper Rowan.
Piper was an easy going baby. Neyla knitted lots of baby onesies for her, she loved putting a new one each day. Cyril constantly held her Every night before heading to the restaurant he'd ask for her for some good luck. Back at the restaurant it really wasn't going well. "Keep wishing your papa some luck" he'd tell Piper as he bottle fed her. That night was by far the worst night he ever had. None of his employees besides for his host did anything. They weren't taking orders from anybody. He hated having to confront his employees but he had too. This one server has such an attitude. When it was time to deliver a customers dinner, she dropped it on the fall and left. Didn't bother to clean it up. Cyril had spent more on wages and food for the night than he even earned. He was angry Cyril avoided telling Neyla anything about the restaurant. He was sure she'd just say she warned him. Instead whenever she asked about it, he say it was going well and change the subject. He used to be a supervisor at a business, he knew it wouldn't be easy, it just takes time to finally get the business on it own two feet. Cyril hoped for the best. Whenever he held Piper he'd tell her he was doing everything for her. He wasn't lying, with just a few days left for her to become a toddler, he bought a house so she'd have more space to walk and play around. They were able to afford it by selling much of their furniture. They could've moved to a bigger apartment and have more money left over but they thought a house would be a better permanent solution. Luckily they had just a little left over to buy necessities, though the house was still incredibly empty. It was enough for Piper though.
Piper grew into a clingy toddler. She needed one of parents within close range all the time. Luckily for her, her parents work schedule worked well. While Neyla worked during the day, Cyril would take care of her. While Neyla would watch her when Cyril was working nights. Piper felt safe when one of them was nearby
Neyla had experience with toddlers, thanks to her sisters kids and mostly from her last relationship where she raised her then bf's son. Keeping Piper happy wasn't difficult for Neyla. It snowed the night before so Neyla took out Piper to build a snowman. Piper liked how she turned out. It was getting a bit cold for her so she ran back inside her room to play. I was keeping an eye on Piper when I decided to look outside and caught Cyril yelling at Neyla. 😧I'm not sure what happened but it ended as soon as I turned the camera to them. Neyla just tried to ignore him, she assumed the stress of the restaurant was getting to him. She went inside to play with Piper. Later at night Cyril tried to feed Piper. "C'mon honey, just eat your food. Don't play with it" Cyril tried to get through to Piper. But Piper takes orders from no one. I like to think this was payback for him yelling at her mom earlier. Cause the next day with Neyla she was better behaved. Despite being a little rascal Piper was very sweet. She was more closer to Neyla than Cyril. Neyla loved these moments.
@BlueSeaWaves I enjoyed reading your story. Piper is a bit of a scamp, but she's adorable all the same. I do hope Cyril's business fares well in the end. Getting a business off the ground can be very difficult. But, he should at least attempt to speak to his wife about it. They are a Team, or they should be.
P.963 Ooo Congratulations to Erik Cantrell on his Starlight award! An incredible week indeed. P.964 Sulani is the perfect place for a honeymoon! Awh they built a sand turtle! Love turtles.

Best of luck to the parents!
Thank you for your feedback. As for how Erik does it, he recorded enough songs and had them packaged into albums before he went to Uni, so that all he had to do was go to the Studios to release the album. Planning, planning and more planning. As for keeping up, I cheat. I use MCCC to keep everybody's needs fulfilled. He rarely hits the sheets. This go around I also had him lock their bedroom in the Dorm for just he and Kayleigh. kept the Paparazzi and fans at bay. As for the Obsessed Fan that broke into the TV studio, that was just something that happened. Funnier than all get out, but totally unplanned. I get what the game gives me sometimes. What a hoot! As for the triplets, they were supposed to be twins. The game threw me for yet another loop. I LOVE this game!
@GirafHuntr I enjoyed your post! A little drama does help to shake up the status quo and makes it fun for the player as well as those who read the post. I feel badly for the now ex-fiancé, but sometimes your heart just takes you in another direction. Best of luck to the new couple!
I tried turning all of my vampires back into humans and created a version of themselves from the late 1800s and early 1900s... It was harder than I expected and I missed them being vampires.
Like SJM? Like Kpop? Like Greek Mythology?

@luciusstorm Miranda is a really great character, and that last screenshot definitely builds some suspense. I am really curious to see if this story takes a darker turn!
@BlueSeaWaves I completely LOL'd at the conspiracy theorist run when the host is seating guests at the restaurant. It's great that you included that humor in with your more serious story about your main characters. It definitely gave a feeling of the chaos and challenge of managing the different personalities at the restaurant!
My username has been my internet handle for over 20 years since I was 16 and refers to when I had a crush on a very tall boy. I intend absolutely no violence toward beautiful giraffes.
So, I had a moment of creative of inspiration and found a way to undo Sarah’s Curse on Cecelia that made sense. Just a small good deed from a Fire Elemental and Island Witch.
After doing his animal husbandry, Princess Roddy Furystrykar said hello to the Old Hollow Flock. He nuzzled one of the birds:
Then the princess sang to the flock:
Meanwhile, Tiffany Furystrykar had a sudden burst of inspiration and started painting in her art studio, which was below the photo room:
Later, Princess Roddy tended to his garden patch:
It was hard work, but someone needed to do it.
Sibling affection time and more!
Princess Roddy was relaxing on the sofa in his bedroom. Hamish knocked on the door. 'Come in, little brother!' the princess said. And so, Hamish came in. 'Hello Hamish, how are you doing?' Princess Roddy asked. 'I'm doing well, big brother!' Hamish replied, cheerfully. 'That's good to hear!' the princess said, smiling. He gave his little brother a great, big, loving hug:
A loving smooch on his cheek:
And a loving smooch on his nose:
Hamish smiled. The two brothers then chatted for a while. Meanwhile. Tiffany Furystrykar had a stroke of inspiration and darted straight into her art studio. She started putting brush to canvas:
When she was finished, She stood back and admired her work. It was a beautiful picture! 'This is too beautiful to be sold! I'm going to keep it and put it in the Karaoke room!' Tiffany thought. She named it 'A Galaxy of Wonder and carefully carried it over to the Karaoke room. She hung it up and stood back: 'Perfection.' Tiffany thought.
Knitting and relaxing
Princess Roddy sat down in the living room and did some knitting:
Then he weeded some of his plants:
And later, the princess relaxed in the kiddie pool:
Princess Roddy felt tired afterwards, so he had a snooze:
After a while, the princess woke up, feeling refreshed and changed into his feminine everyday outfit. Meanwhile, his sister Sophia chatted to Rebecca Honeydew, one of her favourite aunts:
And Hamish chatted to his sweetheart, Olivia Kim-Lewis:
Downstairs, Chloe, Benjamin and Wendy Furystrykar played MySims Racing together:
Benjamin won the race!
Wait, who's that?
Princess Roddy was visited by Kelly Brook who told him and Chloe Furystrykar that she was leaving Simsonia for a new adventure. Chloe was sad, but Kelly reassured her friend that she would stay in contact.
Princess Roddy and the family said goodbye. Kelly Brook headed back to Rio Verde for the final time. She looked fondly at the place where she lived for several years. 'Goodbye Simsonia, it's been fun.' Kelly thought. She packed her bags and set off for the airport, flying to the start of her new adventure.
The next day, Princess Roddy was feeding Belle:
Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered the call. 'Princess Roddy, you'll never guess who's recently moved into Henford-on-Bagley!' said the unmistakeable voice of Agatha Crumplebottom. 'Do tell, Agatha.' the princess replied, inquisitively. 'Johnny Depp!' Agatha exclaimed, excitedly. Princess Roddy's jaw dropped. 'You're serious, right?' he asked, regaining composure. 'I am!' Agatha replied. excitement welled up inside the princess. 'Well, thank you for the call, Agatha!' he said, happily. 'You're welcome, sugarplum!' Agatha said. Princess Roddy ended the call. 'Mummy, Dad, time for a royal visit to Old New Henford! Someone special has recently moved into 3 Olde Mill Lane!' he said, telepathically. 'Right you are, my boy!' Benjamin replied, telepathically. Princess Roddy smiled and teleported up to his bedroom. He changed into his royal outfit, magically changed his hairstyle and reapplied his makeup. Lastly, he put his tiara on. Then Princess Roddy and his parents headed over to Old New Henford.
The princess, Benjamin and Shine Furystrykar arrived at Johnny Depp's house. 'His Royal Majesty, Princess Roddy Furystrykar has arrived!' Benjamin announced. Johnny Depp came out of his house to see what the commotion was about. 'Hello, Johnny Depp. My name is Princess Roddy Furystrykar, and I would like to formally welcome you to Simsonia!' Princess Roddy said, smiling. 'Well hello, Your Royal Majesty!' Johnny Depp said, politely shaking the princess's hand:
'Come inside!' he said, inviting the princess and his parents in. And so they did, and went into the living room. Once there, Johnny Depp knelt in respect of Princess Roddy:
Later, Johnny Depp had his photo taken with the princess:
The princess snapped his fingers and changed instantly into his masculine party outfit. 'Looking sharp, Princess Roddy' Johnny said, warmly. 'Thank you!' the princess replied, cheerfully. Another photo was taken:
Johnny Depp shook Benjamin's hand:
And then he chatted:
Princess Roddy smiled and changed into his feminine everyday outfit. He checked his watch. 'Looks like I have to go! Belle gets grumpy if I haven't given her a clean.' the princess said. He gave Johnny Depp a hug:
'Let's dangle again sometime!' Johnny Depp replied:
Princess Roddy smiled and curtseyed. He then waved goodbye:
The princess and his parents set off back to Dianthus Hall. Princess Roddy enjoyed meeting Johnny Depp!

I have quite a few replies I want to make, so I'll try to get to as many as I can this morning and later today. But first, I aged Barnaby and Wade up to teens a little earlier than planned. I felt it made sense, and there may be one or two new additions to the Merfolk Family later, depends on whether or not Zeph's Fertile Trait results in Twins.
Anyways, Here's my Zalrian Merfolk Family.
Dylan and Cecelia
Zephyr and Sefina
Barnabus and Wade
Barnaby and Wade have taken after their father and uncle more than expected. They aren't only syncrhronized like their father and uncle, they are identical twins like their father and uncle. The game gave them different hairstyles, but there is no mistaking it when I looked at the little details. They are identical.
Edit: The jawlines look a little different. I did edit them, so it could be my fault.
Second Edit: They do have slightly different poses that could be throwing things off perception wise.
My sims are in university now, at Britechester.
Except for Nami (seated center). Nami is just visiting and is living back at the prep-school, waiting for her second rotation to finish up at Foxbury.
Surprise surprise, we get a notice that the power is going to be out for 12 hours.
Thanks a lot, Eco Lifestyle. That's not helpful since tomorrow is finals. Yesterday, the water was turned off.
But my sims are on top of things, so now is a good time to get out of the dorm for a change.
I sent the whole dorm to the student commons.
And this is Melonie Bloom, another one of my sims that graduated from Britechester a while ago.
She was among the first batch of my sims to go to Uni.
I am having them bowl a few frames, but they seem more interested in talking than bowling.
Olivia is the only one wearing bowling shoes.
Olivia graduated withe Melonie.
Finally, someone is picking up a ball.
Brittney?
What are you doing here? She is one of Nami's dormie friends from Foxbury.
Edgar wanted to flirt with 🐸🐸🐸🐸. [C h a n a]
Wish granted.
He was supposed to have a string of girl friends while at Uni, but has only had time for 🐸🐸🐸🐸.
He still has several more terms to go and he has made some new contacts.
I need to disband this club. All of these sims have graduated and should have started their careers now.
I created this club to make the student commons more lively, but I need create new clubs for my current batch of Uni sims.
Kara was the only one that was hungry.
Edgar decided to do a poetry reading.
Nice to see Cassandra Goth
I have plans for her. She's going to run a business as well as the real Secret Society in my sims world.
Time Passes too quickly.
Tomorrow is finals, so they need to get back.
It looks like the lights are back on.
That's good, but doesn't matter it's bedtime.
🐸🐸🐸🐸 has access to Edgar's room and computer, so she is occasionally hanging around in his room.
I don't know where Sophia found the energy, but she is nowhere near tired.
Actually she is all set. All three of her classes required presentations, which she has already done.
Her term is already complete.
@GirafHuntr So many cute couples. And, you have an interesting play style for rotation.
I usually play a household for 28 sims days before moving on. I play it by the seasons. Right now it’s summer, and I have 7 sim days before I start Jack’s rotation in the Fall.
I love your system for relationships. I know that, even without mods, some sims seem to “click” and others don’t. I’d love a system that would let me see that at work.
For my merfolk, I age sims much faster. I can’t use mods, so the merfolk gameplay doesn’t start until mermen and mermaids become teens. I wish I had merfolk gameplay for the children, but right now, that requires mods I can’t use.
Merfolk don’t age past young adult, so I’m very flexible about when I age them up. Jade and Juniper are still teens, and I’m going to age them up during the next sim week. So my next update will be the last one for My Zalrian Merfolk Family. This is an exception I’m making because Jade and Juniper are older than their nephews.
Barnaby and Wade have moved back to Mua Pel’Am so they can learn about merfolk culture and how to use their mermadic powers responsibly from their father. Per merfolk traditions and their royal status among merfolk, Barnaby and Wade have adopted the traditional merman attire. Dylan will try to raise his sons as proper princes.
@GirafHuntr, thank you. I'm enjoying the way she is growing... and yes, there is a dark turn coming. I had a plan and (sadly) the game events did not derail it.
@Metior_Ice, those are amazing merfolk. I keep being tempted to add them to my occults, but I'm a little too New England at heart to add the tropics to my sim world. I'll enjoy watching yours.
@CK213, wow! That dorm is much nicer than the one Gwen and Cassie stayed in. I love sims college drama, so I enjoyed your post and look forward to more.

Yes, Damion is dark, and he’s evil. I guess what I find interesting about him is his complexity. It’s like he’s doing good, but he’s also kinda the reason bad stuff is happening to begin with. He’s weaving his web to collect 6 souls, but he’s also so entangled in the threads he’s weaving.
Damion wants redemption for past misdeeds, and seems to think the best way to go is to collect his precious souls.
They are currently in a custom prep-school. I have four more batches after them before I am done.
I have discovered that a little issue I had with the shorter teens mod wasn't a fluke.
The problem is with Sophia Bjergsen. She was already a teen when I put in my mod, so it did not effect her.
Unfortunately (but fortunately) she and my sim Kara Monteroy became the best of friends and are inseparable.
I aged Sophia down to a child and then aged her back up to a teen, so the mod could adjust her height.
Which was great because now they were the same height and Sophia no longer looked older than Kara.
But the mod doesn't like when you do that.
When Sophia aged up to a young adult for Uni, she stayed the same height.
She is a short young adult now.
But I like her being a shorty.
She's adorable.
Hugs and kisses will probably look glitchy if she takes a full height lover.
I can probably fix it if it's a problem though. I'll keep her a shorty for now.
@Metior_Ice and others, thank you so much for the reminder about the importance of leaving comments. Some of you are so wonderful about doing that. I give so many "likes" and "awesomes" but since you don't know they're coming from me, you all might not realize how much I am enjoying. I will try to do more of this!
@LilNerdySimmers These besties are absolutely adorable. Your screenshots are so high quality, and those are some great poses you have. I really wish I didn't feel so intimidated by getting into poses because I would love to have more pictures like these.
These are my current University students and what's going on in their love lives!
This is Holly (short for Holiday). She is Summer Holiday's youngest daughter. Both her parents and her older sister Autumn are deceased. She is passionate about saving the environment and after University she plans to build her own tiny home, move to Evergreen Harbor and fully restore it to beauty. Holly has not focused on her love life as she is very driven and tries to keep busy to avoid feeling her grief. She's not above an occasional hookup but doesn't seem super interested in finding a long-term partner as of yet. But she has many friends, including 4 best girlfriends, who are in pictures all around her room below.
She and Anthony are also really close friends and are enjoying being in the dorm together
Anthony met the love of his life, Aeris, in high school. At first she didn't seem to be too into him but he became good friends with her, and next thing I knew she was calling up to ask him on a date. He was ecstatic. She has never wavered since and I love them. She is (quite obviously I think) the daughter of Sofia Bjergsen.) Anthony deals with internal conflict, as the aspiration he rolled was Angling Ace so he wants to become a skilled fisherman, but one of his randomized traits is Child of the Ocean, so whenever he goes fishing he has to deal with sad moodlets for hours after. I love this.
Acenith is the youngest of four children, and somewhat ambivalent about life. She was dating Taku Akiyama as teens, and I thought they were adorable, but unfortunately when she aged up to young adult, she rolled the Erratic trait (just like her father actually), and Taku suddenly (based on the chemistry mod) couldn't stand her, so he broke up with her.
Henri wants to become a world-famous DJ and managed to bring his DJ booth with him to university to keep skilling up. He's a goofball, creatively gifted, and extremely outgoing.
No drama at all right now with Floyd (on the left) and his fiance Bennett (right). They got engaged on my last rotation at the Romance Festival after the Romance Guru told them they had a love to last the ages. They're extremely cute and definitely destined to be together. After a couple more years of University they will move together back into Floyd's family home, take care of his aging mother, and probably adopt a bunch of children together.
Ryu is up to something here... nothing interesting going on in his love life at the moment. He and Floyd actually had a brief moment in their early teen years but they weren't a good match and Ryu hasn't run into anyone who really excites him yet. He really wants to have a family though, so hopefully we find him someone.
Alia grew up on Sulani, the oldest of five children. She is a loner and is happiest when she finds time to herself to do her studies, especially since the general vibe growing up at the beach was always peaceful, but having so many siblings meant she rarely got that time alone.
And, saving my biggest drama for last. Jimmy got engaged to Miriam in my last rotation and they've been a couple since they met at a teen beach party in high school. I always thought they were pretty cute, but then... along came Andrew. Andrew and Miriam had been friends for a long time, but when Andrew aged up to Young Adult, something changed and suddenly he and Miriam had Wonderful Chemistry AND find each other extremely attractive, which means.... uhoh, they are soulmates... which is not a good sign for Miriam and Jimmy's engagement. At the romance festival, Andrew got Miriam aside and found a chance to tell her how he has been feeling these last few months, and that he wants their friendship to change and become so much more:
Jimmy wastes no time in breaking up with Miriam (here he is clearly saying "Bye Felicia"), and then in telling Andrew exactly what he thinks of this "sneaky" behavior.
Here is Jimmy some time later, still processing his loss:
But ooooooooh, a new roommate moves in and Jimmy's outlook starts to improve significantly:
Meanwhile, Miriam and Andrew are having no trouble falling into their new rhythms either. As hard as it is to go through a break-up, sometimes it's really the best thing for everyone in the end.
It was high time for Gwen to sit down with Miranda and have a talk...
... and share some things about the dangers of mixing magic and romance.
"Really, does he like you for you or because you put a spell on him?" Gwen asked.
"Well.. umm... how will I know?" Miranda stammered.
"Simple..."
The next day, Gwen sat down with Imran and Miranda together and explained a bit about magic. Imran was fascinated. (Miranda just cringed.)
Later that evening, at the Gnome Arms, things were a little awkward.
... but really, Imran admitted, he liked Miranda and had since they were kids. If she was a little overeager about kissing, well that wasn't so bad. Maybe they could just start again and see where things went.
"I'm so OK with that," Miranda smiled.
A family dinner was a rare event these days, but it was nice for everyone to sit down together. For the first time in a long time, mom was just mom - instead of the glamorous superstar - and they could just chat about things. Really, Miranda thought, things are looking up.
@Mightysprite
Continuing with Cyrils restaurant adventures. Running a restaurant isn't easy.
Cyril decided he would check up on tables to make good impressions with customers. Unfortunately he was laughed at on the first table he checked up on.
After a bad night...yet again Cyril stayed after closing to clean up. He kept thinking he needed to make serious changes to his staff. Cyril had a few more dishes to clean when Neyla stopped by. She wanted to give him some big news. He told her he could use some good news, and she delivered.
Piper grew into a clingy toddler. She needed one of parents within close range all the time. Luckily for her, her parents work schedule worked well. While Neyla worked during the day, Cyril would take care of her. While Neyla would watch her when Cyril was working nights. Piper felt safe when one of them was nearby
P.963 Ooo Congratulations to Erik Cantrell on his Starlight award! An incredible week indeed. P.964 Sulani is the perfect place for a honeymoon! Awh they built a sand turtle!
Thank you for your feedback. As for how Erik does it, he recorded enough songs and had them packaged into albums before he went to Uni, so that all he had to do was go to the Studios to release the album. Planning, planning and more planning. As for keeping up, I cheat. I use MCCC to keep everybody's needs fulfilled. He rarely hits the sheets. This go around I also had him lock their bedroom in the Dorm for just he and Kayleigh. kept the Paparazzi and fans at bay. As for the Obsessed Fan that broke into the TV studio, that was just something that happened. Funnier than all get out, but totally unplanned. I get what the game gives me sometimes. What a hoot! As for the triplets, they were supposed to be twins. The game threw me for yet another loop. I LOVE this game!

@BlueSeaWaves I completely LOL'd at the conspiracy theorist run when the host is seating guests at the restaurant. It's great that you included that humor in with your more serious story about your main characters. It definitely gave a feeling of the chaos and challenge of managing the different personalities at the restaurant!
Then the princess sang to the flock:
Meanwhile, Tiffany Furystrykar had a sudden burst of inspiration and started painting in her art studio, which was below the photo room:
Later, Princess Roddy tended to his garden patch:
It was hard work, but someone needed to do it.
A loving smooch on his cheek:
And a loving smooch on his nose:
Hamish smiled. The two brothers then chatted for a while. Meanwhile. Tiffany Furystrykar had a stroke of inspiration and darted straight into her art studio. She started putting brush to canvas:
When she was finished, She stood back and admired her work. It was a beautiful picture!
'This is too beautiful to be sold! I'm going to keep it and put it in the Karaoke room!' Tiffany thought. She named it 'A Galaxy of Wonder and carefully carried it over to the Karaoke room. She hung it up and stood back:
'Perfection.' Tiffany thought.
Then he weeded some of his plants:
And later, the princess relaxed in the kiddie pool:
Princess Roddy felt tired afterwards, so he had a snooze:
After a while, the princess woke up, feeling refreshed and changed into his feminine everyday outfit. Meanwhile, his sister Sophia chatted to Rebecca Honeydew, one of her favourite aunts:
And Hamish chatted to his sweetheart, Olivia Kim-Lewis:
Downstairs, Chloe, Benjamin and Wendy Furystrykar played MySims Racing together:
Benjamin won the race!
Princess Roddy and the family said goodbye. Kelly Brook headed back to Rio Verde for the final time. She looked fondly at the place where she lived for several years. 'Goodbye Simsonia, it's been fun.' Kelly thought. She packed her bags and set off for the airport, flying to the start of her new adventure.
The next day, Princess Roddy was feeding Belle:
Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered the call. 'Princess Roddy, you'll never guess who's recently moved into Henford-on-Bagley!' said the unmistakeable voice of Agatha Crumplebottom. 'Do tell, Agatha.' the princess replied, inquisitively. 'Johnny Depp!' Agatha exclaimed, excitedly. Princess Roddy's jaw dropped. 'You're serious, right?' he asked, regaining composure. 'I am!' Agatha replied. excitement welled up inside the princess. 'Well, thank you for the call, Agatha!' he said, happily. 'You're welcome, sugarplum!' Agatha said. Princess Roddy ended the call. 'Mummy, Dad, time for a royal visit to Old New Henford! Someone special has recently moved into 3 Olde Mill Lane!' he said, telepathically. 'Right you are, my boy!' Benjamin replied, telepathically. Princess Roddy smiled and teleported up to his bedroom. He changed into his royal outfit, magically changed his hairstyle and reapplied his makeup. Lastly, he put his tiara on. Then Princess Roddy and his parents headed over to Old New Henford.
The princess, Benjamin and Shine Furystrykar arrived at Johnny Depp's house. 'His Royal Majesty, Princess Roddy Furystrykar has arrived!' Benjamin announced. Johnny Depp came out of his house to see what the commotion was about. 'Hello, Johnny Depp. My name is Princess Roddy Furystrykar, and I would like to formally welcome you to Simsonia!' Princess Roddy said, smiling. 'Well hello, Your Royal Majesty!' Johnny Depp said, politely shaking the princess's hand:
'Come inside!' he said, inviting the princess and his parents in. And so they did, and went into the living room. Once there, Johnny Depp knelt in respect of Princess Roddy:
Later, Johnny Depp had his photo taken with the princess:
The princess snapped his fingers and changed instantly into his masculine party outfit. 'Looking sharp, Princess Roddy' Johnny said, warmly. 'Thank you!' the princess replied, cheerfully. Another photo was taken:
Johnny Depp shook Benjamin's hand:
And then he chatted:
Princess Roddy smiled and changed into his feminine everyday outfit. He checked his watch. 'Looks like I have to go! Belle gets grumpy if I haven't given her a clean.' the princess said. He gave Johnny Depp a hug:
'Let's dangle again sometime!' Johnny Depp replied:
Princess Roddy smiled and curtseyed. He then waved goodbye:
The princess and his parents set off back to Dianthus Hall. Princess Roddy enjoyed meeting Johnny Depp!
Anyways, Here's my Zalrian Merfolk Family.
Dylan and Cecelia
Zephyr and Sefina
Barnabus and Wade
Barnaby and Wade have taken after their father and uncle more than expected. They aren't only syncrhronized like their father and uncle, they are identical twins like their father and uncle. The game gave them different hairstyles, but there is no mistaking it when I looked at the little details. They are identical.
Edit: The jawlines look a little different. I did edit them, so it could be my fault.
Second Edit: They do have slightly different poses that could be throwing things off perception wise.
Except for Nami (seated center). Nami is just visiting and is living back at the prep-school, waiting for her second rotation to finish up at Foxbury.
Surprise surprise, we get a notice that the power is going to be out for 12 hours.
Thanks a lot, Eco Lifestyle. That's not helpful since tomorrow is finals. Yesterday, the water was turned off.
But my sims are on top of things, so now is a good time to get out of the dorm for a change.
I sent the whole dorm to the student commons.
And this is Melonie Bloom, another one of my sims that graduated from Britechester a while ago.
She was among the first batch of my sims to go to Uni.
I am having them bowl a few frames, but they seem more interested in talking than bowling.
Olivia is the only one wearing bowling shoes.
Olivia graduated withe Melonie.
Finally, someone is picking up a ball.
Brittney?
What are you doing here? She is one of Nami's dormie friends from Foxbury.
Edgar wanted to flirt with 🐸🐸🐸🐸. [C h a n a]
Wish granted.
He was supposed to have a string of girl friends while at Uni, but has only had time for 🐸🐸🐸🐸.
He still has several more terms to go and he has made some new contacts.
I need to disband this club. All of these sims have graduated and should have started their careers now.
I created this club to make the student commons more lively, but I need create new clubs for my current batch of Uni sims.
Kara was the only one that was hungry.
Edgar decided to do a poetry reading.
Nice to see Cassandra Goth
I have plans for her. She's going to run a business as well as the real Secret Society in my sims world.
Time Passes too quickly.
Tomorrow is finals, so they need to get back.
It looks like the lights are back on.
That's good, but doesn't matter it's bedtime.
🐸🐸🐸🐸 has access to Edgar's room and computer, so she is occasionally hanging around in his room.
I don't know where Sophia found the energy, but she is nowhere near tired.
Actually she is all set. All three of her classes required presentations, which she has already done.
Her term is already complete.
I usually play a household for 28 sims days before moving on. I play it by the seasons. Right now it’s summer, and I have 7 sim days before I start Jack’s rotation in the Fall.
I love your system for relationships. I know that, even without mods, some sims seem to “click” and others don’t. I’d love a system that would let me see that at work.
Merfolk don’t age past young adult, so I’m very flexible about when I age them up. Jade and Juniper are still teens, and I’m going to age them up during the next sim week. So my next update will be the last one for My Zalrian Merfolk Family. This is an exception I’m making because Jade and Juniper are older than their nephews.
Barnaby and Wade have moved back to Mua Pel’Am so they can learn about merfolk culture and how to use their mermadic powers responsibly from their father. Per merfolk traditions and their royal status among merfolk, Barnaby and Wade have adopted the traditional merman attire. Dylan will try to raise his sons as proper princes.
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on...
(Yes, something horrible is about to happen.)
@Metior_Ice, those are amazing merfolk. I keep being tempted to add them to my occults, but I'm a little too New England at heart to add the tropics to my sim world. I'll enjoy watching yours.
@CK213, wow! That dorm is much nicer than the one Gwen and Cassie stayed in. I love sims college drama, so I enjoyed your post and look forward to more.
I'll take that as a compliment, thank you. I hope you are enjoying their story. I am enjoying sharing it.
By the way, have you heard of the Merrows, Havman, Havfruue, Fossgrim, Nix, Nixie, And Nokke?
They are all merfolk from colder regions of the world.
My merfolk’s appearances are actually based on Havmand and Havfrue. Havman and Havfrue are from Scandinavian Lore.
Havmand and Havfrue are the popular version of merfolk.
Fossgrim is a variation of mermen that dwell near waterfalls. They play music so well that nature will dance to their songs.
Nokke is found around lakes and is a merman associated with death by drowning.
Nix and Nixie are mermen and mermaids from Germany.
Male merrows can be ugly creatures that humans make a deal with.
All of those merfolk don’t come from tropical climates.
Didn’t know if you knew. Anyways, thanks for reading my story!
