@all, I did get to play some over the weekend. I just didn't do well at remembering to pull the shots off the Playstation before shutting it down lol. So, I'm getting caught up here today while I have some time at home
@Seera1024 I didn't know that teens are immune to those deaths, so that's very helpful to know! I've had a few sims die of hysteria over the years, so it scares me to death whenever I see Very Playful show up. Maybe I'll have less of a heart attack now when it's a teen
@mcrudd Congrats on Quin moving out. I love Rene's top in her teen pic, very cute. Welcome baby Ulrich! Aww Quin there to give Rene a hug is cute! Congrats on another baby out of the house Welcome baby Vince! And off to Sulani now! Good job on the house! It's so pretty there.
@Signofhatredlol Congrats on Gabriel and Henry's age ups! And good luck with the new house. It always seems to take me forever to get a house situated lol.
@Rawla 100 baby mermaids to take over the world sounds fun
@Dinkus83. Oh boy a very flirty Valerie as an adult moving out, watch out single sims !!! A person has to be so fast to add those candles, especially in your household when all your adult kids show up for some cake time hahahaha. Congrats on the full girl’s house. Welcome baby Yahya, what a cutie Happy birthday to all the kiddos. Love storytime. I don’t like the gameplay where the kids are sad or angry about new siblings, It just upsets me as a person LOL Congratulations on the new pregnancy Eva. Atleast you remember that part after a birth, I keep on forgetting hahahaha. That sulani house gave me a few real life gray hairs
@all, Yay I have game time now, Will update once I had some age ups again in the new house.
To start this week, Yahya is ready for toddlerhood!
The next day, Wyatt comes home from school ready for his last cake
And moves in with his brothers. Second boys' house is almost full
Then it's go time for baby #27!
Welcome baby Zaria!
Later that week, Yahya gets his first cake, and an interesting look. I had to change those shorts lol.
Eva has more big news.
And Zaria is ready for toddling about. My toddlers really seem to love that hair.
Xolani is ready to start high school after the weekend! She obviously loved her sister Valerie's hair and had to copy it, just to confuse me.
Saturday is Spooky Day! This year we have a pizza man, a mail carrier, a hot dog, a very pregnant maid, and a little elf. Quite the odd crew
Jordan drops in for a visit (with no costume) and listens to the hot dog talk about bats.
Eva shares her big news with Jordan. What is that face?! I don't think his pouty lip could go any higher.
And then I got distracted building for a while cuz Xolani will need a new house when she moves out.
Newcrest now, with the new house up near the top. And this picture made me realize exactly how bad I am about doing no landscaping when I build.
The family now - baby #28 on the way!
And, now that I've gotten through the alphabet once, I looked over my spreadsheet and have interesting stats. Hair color is almost split right in half: 14 blondes and 13 with black hair. But, 16 boys and only 11 girls! Toddlers rolled independent more than anything else; 8 of those, but I still haven't gotten inquisitive even once. For other traits, Art Lover wins so far, with 5. There are still quite a few traits I haven't rolled once yet.

Oooh @Dinkus83 we posted the same time, well I took longer to post mine and yours posted before mine LOL. Will read and comment now, and yeah the Sulani sun got them good, thankfully it fixed over time
@Dinkus83 Yahya looks very excited ofr toddlerhood, so cute Wyatt will be back for more cake. Gosh your boys only houses are filling up super quick. Aww Welcome sweet little baby Zaria. Sometimes the clothing choices by Maxis is not to be desired. Oooh Eva more good news, way to go girl !!! Hehehe love everyone’s spookyday costumes. Oh my gosh Jordan, be happy for your mom, perhaps he was more upset that there was no cake during his visit AweSim update
@Signofhatredlol thanks you, she was the 50th baby so had a warm welcome. Doing names alphabetically helps keep track of what names were used before so you don’t use the same name a few times LOL
@Rawla that would be so cool, you could give them mermaid type names as well, that would make it interesting too
@all I played till late last night, but got as far as aging everyone up and having the new baby born, I then saved and exited to change the baby’s outfit but then ended up going to bed instead LOL. So now I just need to load up and take photo’s and I am good to start gameplay to age up the others
@mcrudd Congrats on Sarah moving out and all your other age ups, enjoying beach life Welcome baby Willow! And halfway woohoo!! Jordan probably was upset about the cake situation, so maybe that contributed to his face Congrats on another baby out! Ulrich doesn't look too pleased with his homework lol. Welcome baby Xena with a cute fishy onesie! Will she become a warrior princess? Poor Ben lol. I have actually had some troubles with Eva getting pregnant recently too, and she never had issue before. I was wondering if, at some point, the game just says "OK, seriously, you have enough kids now. You should just stop."
@Signofhatredlol Yeah, I like the alphabet naming scheme. It really does help me keep track of what's going on
@Rawla Congrats on your fresh start and first pregnancy!
@all, I actually had my game break on me last night, in a way that it never has before lol. It didn't exactly freeze, but I couldn't do much and couldn't get the save menu to pull up either, so it just got shut down. Usually I save sometime during the night (in game) while everyone is sleeping. Hopefully it's still all good, but it was late Harvestfest day when it broke, and I really didn't feel like loading it up to play that day all over again last night. So, I just went to bed lol. And today, Stray came out, and I've been super excited for that game. So, I'm not sure Sims will win out any playing time tonight I'll get another update here soon though, I'm sure.
@Dinkus83 I think Eva should have cake in her fridge as back up when the older kids come visiting, less sulking will happen then LOL . Xena aged up with curly hair, so think she will be a girly girl. Hahaha think the game wants us to stop having kids, not happening game we are on the roll Oh noes that must have been super annoying, I had a blue screen scare and lost atleast three days of game play, was not happy about that, turned out it was my graphics card that was not updated. Nvidia seems to get lots of updates. Everyone aged up and baby 52 is born, will upload that update now. What is Stray? I sometimes get hooked on my hidden society mystery game, but more on my mobile.
@mcrudd Stray is a game where you play as this super cute stray kitty. v
I've been excited since it was first announced like 2 years ago. But, Sims won out tonight, because I don't want claw marks on my TV. Apparently, I'll have to wait to play more when the rest of the household returns in a few days, so someone can keep our actual kitties occupied elsewhere They got really worked up with all the cat noises coming from the speakers.
Congrats on Ulrich moving out and all the other age ups too! You're right, Xena doesn't look like much of a warrior at the moment lol. Welcome baby Yasmin!
I'm working my way through Harvestfest again on my game, and saving constantly lol. So, I'll have an update later
@Dinkus83 that looks so adorable My daughter plays her Xbox and if she wants to play it loud she uses head phones in her x box control. Do you have that option, so that the kitties can't hear your game cat and then you can play in peace I have another update, I played sims literally all day long.
@mcrudd Welcome baby Xena! Congrats on Ann’s pregnancy! Welcome baby Zoe! I’m still trying to get some girls; for now I only have boys lol. @Dinkus83 Maybe I’ll try the alphabet arrangement sometime.
@Signofhatredlol thank you, I am getting lots of girls, would like some boys now LOL
@all so its another day of nothing buy simming for me. Bad weather and home alone. So update following in next page and delayed pregnancy again so everyone is just about ready to age up already. I need some sort of reminder to get her pregnant again
I know I spent a lot of time on this house, but I am not enjoying the gameplay. I have locked all the doors for household only and disallowed neighbors and friends but still every tom 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and harry is showing up in my house helping themselves to left overs and being a nuisance. My sims keep on running off to swim and I am constantly searching for them in the ocean. They cancel out what I tell them to run off and do whatever they please. I know its going to be time consuming, but I am moving them asap before baby 55 is born. Well Ann is not even pregnant yet, but yeah you guys know what I mean LOL
