Say what you will about the weddings with MWS, it gave us Tartosa, and it is a stunning setting for romance and romantic photography. Sometimes I just can't help myself, I just have to stage these photoshoots.
Sunset looking into town...
If you were in Liberty's shoes back in Willow Creek could you ever imagine finding yourself in a setting like this. With a man like Matteo who is deeply in love with you.
Who says we have to let the guys have all the fun. Matteo didn't see that one coming, not that he's complaining.
Well, I finally got my favorite Anime Couple, Serenity & her husband to have their daughter Rini. I aged up their daughter after two days of her birth to toddler. I also, updated their home with some Wedding & Decor Max objects as well as giving them the way too cool moon mirror.
The household, home & rooms are all saved under Anime Moon/Earth under my username SEREFRAS if anyone wants to check them out. Also, please let me know if you like them, thank you.
Ryleigh and Jeb are expecting!! A little side story.. They conceived this little bean in the waterfall in Sulani, It wasn't planned either! Sometimes I really love the surprises this game with throw your way.
They took some maternity photos in the nursery, they are so proud of the little bundle they created.
Ryleigh's step-sister, Hope came over for a visit and to get acquainted with her little nephew to be.
He kicked real hard at one point and it startled Hope. lol
It was time for the birth after a long labor but Ryleigh was a trooper and gave birth to their baby boy named, Murphy.
I just want to say Pandasama really outdid herself with this mod!
Jeb is already an amazing father.
Murphy aged up into a toddler, he is the spitting image of Jeb! I love it!
He loves is Nana Babs
@DaniRose2143 Loved your post! You are quite the Hopeless Romantic. Your pictures are stunning. While I've had my share of setbacks with the MWS pack, I still love it. Next time, I may have a couple honeymoon there. Nice work.
@BlueSeaWaves Thank you for the shout-out. I had to create a reason why Carina, a baby girl, was now Peter, a baby boy. LOL (The Player was grossly unhappy. Made the mistake of letting the game choose. :O)
Wow. Thanks for sharing your story! We're supposed to love our neighbors, but how can you do that when some of them are simply unlovable? What a creep. He was basically dancing on her grave! Glad you were able to restart. It's so hard to have odd stuff like that happen when your Sims are just starting out.
My sims are taking a break today. We're expecting 40c temperatures for the first time ever in London this afternoon so i'll be keeping my laptop cool today with just general browsing. It's currently 39c outside where i am based!
I clicked the wrong button on Corbin and instead of woohooing with Rohan, they tried for a baby... again! This will be baby number 5 for Corbin and number 3 for Rohan. It'll also be the second human baby. It's sad that Corbin is so used to making babies now that my fingers just go for it autonomously.
Forgive me, but this made me chuckle. In fact, thanks for giving me my Morning Chuckle! Now, that's what we call an Oopsie!
@LadyEarth I'm not one who pushes divorce, but this couple is totally mismatched. Maybe they should try counseling? Interesting that the little daughter doesn't care for her Daddio. Little kids have a certain sense about them. She knows there's something off about her dad.

@GalacticGal Thank you very much, I'm thrilled you liked them so much! I am definitely a hopeless romantic. I can't deny it.😁 It was too late last night to do any meaningful storytelling so I decided to open the backup save and just mess around. That's the result.

@OhMyHemsworth Thank you so much for those kind words. I'm sorry I missed your comment this morning. Ryleigh and Jeb are a beautiful couple and Murphy is adorable!❤️
Again, as the week grew long and the Starlight Accolades drew closer, Erik began to struggle with sleep. Nightmares plagued him. Sometimes more than one in a night. In the first nightmare, he and Kayleigh were over thirty minutes late to the Event. Upon entering the PBP Studios they were both surprised to see Father James Thomlin. Dressed in a black tuxedo, he was behaving very much like an Entertainer, which was almost unheard of. The Bishop certainly would never approve.
Even worse, is Father James and the Mixologist on duty left the premises. The Bouncer remained, and so Erik and Kayleigh went inside. They waited and waited and waited some more. Other celebrities showed up, but no Host. Can’t have a Show, if the Host is a No-Show! The nightmares were beyond ridiculous, but they did disturb him all of the same.
In the meantime, both parents gave their children the attention they deserved. Erik did release his twenty-first album, and he did concerts and magazine shoots, plus the occasional interview, which grew in number the closer the Show came. At long last Sunday arrived. Curiously, the entire family overslept. This meant the animals weren’t taken care of, first thing, as was the normal routine. No time now, guess I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon.
The four oldest children were occupied when Kayleigh finished playing ‘flash cards’ with little Andrew. Erik took care of the infant, Peter.
“Okay, kids, we’re leaving now,” he shouted. Then gazing over at Magdalena, the gray haired Butler filling in for Aylin. “If you would please get them all fed. They have permission to stay up for the Starlight Accolades Show, but immediately after its over, please see to it they all get to bed. They have school tomorrow.”
“Yes, Mr. Cantrell,” she said. “Oh, and break a leg!”
Erik and Kayleigh arrived at the Studios.
Going inside, they found seats in the front row.
Things were less than normal. The Host was there, but for some odd reason, fans and Paparazzi were swarming the premises. This was a tad disconcerting, to say the least. At one point, Erik stood up to confront one of his Obsessed Fans, who stood there in full view of the camera, sans any clothing.
“Hey, hey, what do you think you’re doing? Put some clothes on, Buddy, there are Ladies present!” Erik scolded.
“It’s not the ladies I’m interested in,” The Fan said, “it’s you.” and then he leaned in, intent on planting a kiss on his idol.
“Oh, no, I don’t think so.”
While Erik did his best to temper the situation, the rest of the audience groaned, loudly.
Finally, Erik persuaded the Fan to leave the premises.
“Thank you, Mr. Cantrell. Perhaps, next time you should leave him at home? Or at least, keep him on a short leash.”
“Very funny,” Erik grinned. “I didn’t invite him.”
“Okay, let’s get on with the Show. The first award we’re handing out tonight goes to Megumi Ito, for being an all-around nice Sim.”
“I’m so thrilled, thank you.”
The Host returned to the microphone. “I know you’re all waiting for this tonight. So, without further ado, for bringing such aural beauty to ears around the World, the Best Song for the Week goes to … a little fanfare, if you please … Erik Cantrell for his Back of my Mind. This makes number nineteen in a row, if I’ve got the count correct. Congratulations, Erik!”
Erik accepted the award and stood in front of the microphone, eyes closed in silent contemplation.
Thank you, Lord. Raising the trophy upward in utter glee.
Overcome with emotion for a moment, he continued to stand there, silent.
“You have no idea of how many nights’ sleep I’ve been robbed of. Seems the more I win, the more anxious I become.”
“And, yes, it’s still just as heavy as my first trophy. And I’m still just as grateful. Humbled.”
“I would like to thank my Fans, first and foremost. You’ve stuck with me every step of the way. I thank my record label, Taygeta Studios, Orion Entertainment, Limited, for booking the concerts, for the many Teen magazines who circulate my image on their covers, plus for all of the kind things stated in the interviews inside. Who am I forgetting? Oh, my lovely wife, Kayleigh, our six children, for which I'm very grateful. My parents, and my many siblings.”
“Does this feel good? You asked. Yeah!”
With that, Erik walked back to his seat.
When the Event came to a close, Erik and Kayleigh headed back to Henford-on-Bagley. Erik shook his head. He had made a point of cleaning up the leavings from his Obsessed Fans when they first got home from church, only to find they had returned and left their peculiar ‘calling cards’ all over the front of his property. “Erik, can I have an exclusive,” the lone Paparazzi said. Kayleigh climbed the front steps and went inside.
“Sure,” he said.
“Congratulations on your win, tonight.”
“Thank you.”
The interview didn’t take long. Mostly he was asked how the win felt, that sort of thing. After the Paparazzi said good night and left, Erik turned and went inside. He found little Peter wailing away in his bassinet.
“Hey, little guy, it’s all right. Daddy's here.”
Erik found Andrew in the kitchen. “Frash cards, please.” The Toddler said.
“Okay, sure. I like your hunger for learning.”
As Erik headed toward his bedroom, wishing to change his clothes, he came upon a very unhappy Cadence. “Hey, little Girl, what’s wrong?”
“I’m a bear,” she said. “And there’s nothing you can say to change that. Unless …”
“How about if I dress up like a bear, too?” Erik said.
“Would you, Daddy? For real?”
“Why not, I haven’t dressed up like one since I was, oh, maybe your age.”
“Is this a special club? Did I miss the memo?” Harmony said. “Or is this an exclusive meeting?”
“I didn’t know you were a bear, too. You can join, if you want to.”
“Aw, that’s so nice of you, Cadence,” Erik said, so glad to hear them getting along, for once.
Erik went to bed that night feeling much better than he had in weeks. His family was healing. By the grace of God. Tomorrow, he would decide which song to license. A little afraid of the pressure it might bring, you can’t win, if you don’t try.
After their date that ended so unpleasantly, Rania called. "Want to go clubbing tonight? As friends."
Laila agreed. She hadn't entirely given up hope on more-than-friends either.
Rania was okay with a slow dance so Laila started wondering
Laila took a break to go get some food. Wow, she was hungry.
"Laila? What's going on?"
"SO HUNGRY"
"Aaargh what is taking them so long?! I really need cold cuts immediately. Grrr!"
"Wow... Laila, you've really changed. I think... I think I might need some space for a while."
Mood: Lost the girl. Keeping the cold cuts.
Mmm.... cold cuts
"What do you think you're doing?" she snapped at a random passer-by who got somewhat close to her food.
"Eep!" said random passer-by.
Laila felt bad immediately, but he left before she could apologize.
Or that is, if she had gone to find him to apologize, she would have had to leave the cold cuts unattended.
There was a lot to think about. Laila ran home and wrote it all down.
It's been quite a week. Dad is still proud of her.
"Sometimes writing is the best place for a lot of difficult feelings," said Salim. "You know, you might even be able to convey more fury on the page using less dramatic language. Make your readers wonder a little."
And the family looked forward to the next chapter of normal life.
Or something like it.
"Aw Laila, you cooked breakfast!"
"Cooked?"
Skies family.. Blue hair, blue [cc] eyes, and a near true black shade of skin... Discovered way to kill non-played sims... shift click, add to family, select them, shift click and select kill, then shift click and select remove from family... Thus far, its been interesting. Aryuin has 3 kids from Caleb Vatore and 2 from Straud [ who's dead]. All have so far not manifested the blue hair yet, but they all look fairly good...
@GalacticGal, well, let's hear it for crazy obsessed fans making life... interesting... for our musical hero. I've heard about nightmares where you show up to work naked but really!
@mightysprite, the challenges of dating as a young urban werewolf. I love it!
Fate is a riddle and we choose our own answer.Wyrd Girls

@mightysprite, the challenges of dating as a young urban werewolf. I love it!
Can't say that I have ever had such a nightmare, but then again I didn't work for very long. We wanted me home, once the kids started coming along.
@GalacticGal Oh man, that's a really crazy obsessed fan. Glad Erik was able to get him to leave. Yay! Erik won again! Now he'll able to sleep...until the next awards show. Awh cute moment of Erik joining his daughter, and dressing as a bear. @mightysprite Hope it gets better for Laila. She might've lost her, but she got the cold cuts, and even got to slow dance with her 8) Love how supportive Salim is. Lmao at her breakfast.
This is my new sim, Colette Verglas. She's high maintainanced sim, and so expects nothing but the best. She enrolled into University with the hopes of getting a degree to become a private attorney. As she mailed in her application she just thought it would be a piece of cake.
It wasn't. After her first semester at Foxbury Institute she was low on money, she had to get a job. The only job she could do was work as a coffee barista. It didn't interfere with her study hours. University is expensive when you have no savings. She fell behind on some bill payments and her electricity was cut off...and soon water as well. Colette was going to pay her bill once she had enough. She just doesn't earn enough working as a barista. While practicing some moves in chess, she was paid a visit from the repo man. Forget he even existed. He took her stove. The next morning she was still angry about it, "Stupid repo, took my stove! How am I supposed to eat?" If anything it served as reminder to study harder so she could get into a well paid career. She worked hard all week and every single day was harder than the last for her. She was never happy, due to her trait. During her final semester her sink broke, because of course no week can let her have an easy semester. Luckily the next day she received a call. She passed all of classes and will graduate Colette just thought "of course I passed" Graduation day arrived and she got into her gown. Nancy Landgraab strolled by in her swimwear... Colette officially graduated. Not long after graduating she received a job offer to work at big law firm. Colette didn't think long on it and accepted. "Now I'll be able to afford a trip to the spa" she thought. She so cute, it's like she felt so much power in the palm of her hands.
After her first day at the law firm, Colette was pleased to learn that across from them was a spa. Just what she needed.
It’s been so long since she had a pedicure. She got a hand massage too, she was looking forward to it Though not long into it it started getting rough. She asked the sim to be gentle She was like this most of the time 😅 Colette tried to prepare herself for the next hand, she knew it was gonna be painful😂 It’ll get better she hoped Despite the pain she was felt great afterwards. She even befriended the sim who treated her. He asked her for advice on some personal issues he was facing. Colette was happy, she got a pedicure, a hand massage and even made a new friend. During her time at the spa, she didn’t notice all the commotion going on outside. Even werewolves need to take care of themselves
Thanks @luciusstorm and @BlueSeaWaves ! @BlueSeaWaves Colette is awesome, and a handful I'm sure XD
This pic is exactly how I feel at any massage or salon sort of place, it is not relaxing, it is more like being at the dentist
Massages are only fun when my nearest and dearest people are providing them. And I never have to have my nails done ever again if I don't want to.
Colette has earned her big law job, good for her!
@luciusstorm I loved your new chapter of Wyrd Girls! I’m really digging Miranda as a character, and I can’t wait to read more! Figured I’d respond to your post here just to keep your thread clean!
