The day of Jacob and Christa's wedding finally came. One of the family members had put everything together for it. Lily finished getting rid of the garden a few days prior, and now many white chairs and the wedding arch were set up in it's place. That morning, the four members of the household got together to jam while waiting for the wedding guests to arrive.
Soon after, the guests started to arrive. In no particular order, some of the invited guests include Sheila Naquin, Elizabeth Sorenson, Kizzie Langerak, and Ivy Goth.
Christa was the first to put a wedding ring on Jacob's finger.
Then Jacob put a wedding ring on Christa's finger.
Afterwards, they shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
You can see the love they have for each other in this picture. I like the way that Christa is smiling at Jacob.
One of the guests wanted to take a picture of Christa, so this is what she did. I wanted a screenshot of her so I positioned the camera in between her and the photographer so I could get this.
For the after party, Brandon became a DJ. I cheated his DJ skill to max so he'd have all the options available to him.
Another random picture, this time with a bit of dancing involved. Some of the guests had requests that Brandon tried to fulfill.
When all the guests had left, Jacob and Christa headed to the bedroom. Normally, I'd give them a day or two to try for a baby, but I'm trying to get generation 8 to be born so we can get closer to moving the family to Moonlight Falls.
Before going to bed that night, they were both hungry so I sent them to eat some leftover birthday cake.
****I replayed the day, but most of the pictures shown here are before the game crashed without saving from the first time I played it. In the replay, everything went pretty similar to what is shown here so I only added the woohoo picture and eating cake from that. Everything else is the original. I'm kind of waiting to see what storms in the area are doing before I decide to play, but I plan on doing some feedback a bit later in the day.
Okay simming friends, I need help trying to locate an item that I'm missing from my game. You see, when I was trying to move stuff over to that new computer that I don't have now due to it not having enough internal memory for my games and stuff, well somehow my saved files from my TS3 games got messed up so I had to rename my Sims 3 folder to old and start the game to recreate a new one. Then I had to reinstall all my store stuff and other downloads into the new file. Well I'm missing some items that for the life of me I just can't remember where I got them from.
So I'm trying to find this planter that looks like a boat that's located next to the motorhome in this picture. Any help would be appreciated. So thank you in advance...
I actually played the original oregon trail back in school lol, now I play it on the phone.
I'm a history buff, so anything from the past catches my attention.
Aww glad you think Caleb is handsome! I worked super hard on him and tried to go away from my typicalness lol.

@emorrill , I'm so glad the idea to start your Stardew Valley story was something I said! Congratulations on sticking with it for so long and finishing it, and for letting the characters take you in a direction you didn't expect!
Bye the way, I confused Robin and Leah in Stardew Valley too at first! Besides looking the same, their professions are somewhat similar too!
@Brandontaylor , lovely wedding! I'm impressed that you're about to get to generation 8, I've never stuck with a family for so long!
@bekkasan , I love your lot! The fortune telling wagon fits perfectly in it.
***My aunt's surgery for her bre'ast cancer for today was cancelled because they found out she has another spot they want to check. The first spot is stage one, and they were just going to remove it. However, with the 2nd spot, they don't know if they have to take the whole thing or still can just take the spot. Everything else is going pretty decent for me and my family, except for that. I should have some time to play and do comments for the next few weeks at least.
I've also been doing a bit more comic book reading. I am currently reading a couple Batman series. The first one is called Batman: The Knight and is a current storyline that is a retelling of Bruce Wayne's training. So far in the series, he has trained in detective work, with several martial artists, a master in disguise, and trained with a thief that is kind of like a precursor to Catwoman in his near future. He also is training with Giovanni Zatara, a stage magician who is actually a real spellcaster and his daughter, future Justice Leaguer Zatanna Zatara. Of course, Bruce has trouble learning magic and decides it'd make things to easy for when he does become a hero in Gotham City. At this point, he is not Batman, nor has he been inspired to dress like a bat yet. I think there are a few more issues to be released where he meets up with Ra's al Ghul, an immortal ecoterrorist and his daughter Talia al Ghul (actually becomes a lover of Bruce/Batman in the future and has a child by him named Damian Wayne/Robin.) The last issue probably has Bruce becoming Batman for the first time. The second storyline I am reading is from 1993 and is called the Knightfall Saga. It is a story where the villain Bane, using a chemical called Venom, decides to break Batman and take over Gotham City. He releases criminals from Arkham Asylum and Batman and Robin/Tim Drake have to fight them and capture them. Bane wears Batman down and finally breaks his back. A man named Jean Paul Valley, a friend of Bruce and Tim is chosen to become Batman, but in his past, he was given mental cues to eventually become a vigilante named Azrael. Bruce and Tim broke some of that conditioning, but now Jean Paul is becoming a violent Batman while Bruce is in a wheelchair and on a mission with Alfred, his butler.
Anyway, after that lengthy explanation, here are some comments.
@GraceyManor I don't know about hideous, it's kind of cute.

Joseph: Miss Harper, good morning.
Harper: Good Morning Joseph, Caleb.
Caleb: How you holding up, Harper?
Harper: I'm fine, thank you.
The weather seemed to be a bit cooler than usual. Fall was just
around the corner, and Harper loved this weather! As usual she tried
getting her phone to work, but to no avail.Why do I even bother?
The group marched on hoping to reach the Fort Pierce before the end of
the week.
Caleb: Harper, what do you like to do in your free time?
Caleb asked. He wanted to get to know Harper a little better, but
tried his best not to pry, she seemed to be quiet and reserved and he
was trying to help her open up a bit.
Harper: Oh? I like writing and painting.
Caleb: You like to write? That's very impressive.
Harper: Thank you, but I'm sure your skills are more impressive.
Mary: Where is Harper? I don't see her around.
Joseph: You are right. The young lady is gone.
Caleb: Good maker! Keep walking, I'll go find her.
Caleb searched everywhere he could for Harper, she wasn't anywhere
to be found, the only sound he heard was the rustling of a lonely deer and
a few rabbits rushing through the bushes.
Caleb: Thank the maker! There you are. We've been searching everywhere
for you.
Harper: I'm sorry, I spotted this fruit garden and wanted a few strawberries.
Caleb was clearly frustrated with Harper.
Caleb: Harper, I'm not sure how your groups were run, but we stick together
here. Kindly let us know where you're going.
Harper: I do apologize, I'm used to being alone, I didn't mean to
make you all worry. It won't happen again.
Caleb smiled at Harper, feeling a sense of relief knowing she was okay.
Caleb: Don't worry about it, Harper.I'm just glad you're okay.
He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and beckoned for her to join the rest
of the party.
Harper followed Caleb over to the camp site, where Mary sat lazily
in her chair knitting away.She peaked up over her project and looked
Harper over.Harper could feel a motherly lecture coming on.
Mary: You know dear, you really shouldn't run amuck like that.
There are bears that will eat you out here.
Caleb: Mary! Don't tell her that.
Mary: A little fear might serve her well, she won't be so reckless.
Harper: Yes, I understand. I apologize, I won't do it again.
Caleb shook his head and gave Harper the "Its okay" look.
After dinner, Harper decided to watch the wildlife, she spotted a mother
rabbit and her babies heading home. Caleb took great interest in watching
Harper, and found himself smiling at her enjoyment over simple things.
@bekkasan thanks. I have previously fixed all of the problems with the worlds but needed to go back to an earlier save to get some video for the latest episode which is now loading to YouTube. Hopefully it’ll be available tomorrow. It’s been loading for about 8 hours already.
Janella goes to school in the morning in a perfectly good mood, because her mother threw an elixir of bliss at her before she left. Life is easy when you have an alchemist mother (who has to use her elixirs anyway to fulfill her LTW)!
Time for Mark to age up to toddler! I thought he might have inherited Audrey's dark hair with blue tips, but he has his absent father's completely dark hair instead.
It is summer in my game. I'm playing on normal lifespan and each season lasts a week. I've just decided to give Janella a school-free Friday by having her check in at the family resort with her dad, so that I can give her a four-days-long summer vacation from Leisure Day Thursday to the weekend. I'll do the same thing in the future whenever there are children or teens in the household in the summer.
The family resort is rated four stars at the moment, but I've bought some additional objects and I'm hoping it will reach five stars soon. I peeked during the night and the staff were working diligently, although one of them is somewhat unusually wearing a witch's hat!
Joseph: Caleb, you seem preoccupied this morning.Are you feeling
okay?
Caleb: Hmm? Yes, I'm quite alright, thank you.
Caleb was lost in thought, obviously preoccupied with other things,
and his travelers were picking up on it.
Harper: My feet are killing me....ugh, give me a day with a bunch
of regrets anytime...this is horrible.I really want to go home.
The rest of the group were getting tired of Harper's bickering and
decided to back off for a bit.Harper didn't mind though, she enjoyed
her solitude and it gave her a chance to vent her grievances.
Mary: Good maker, if I hear one more complaint. I think I might just
leave and go home.Her constant bickering is enough to lead me to drink.
And I'm a Christian woman.
Caleb: Please be patient with her.
Mary: Even patience runs out after a while.
Caleb felt bad for the group leaving Harper to herself and he
went to make amends.
Caleb: Let me apologize on the other's behalf's. They're just as tired
as you and I am.
Harper: I'm not bothered at all. I like my solitude.
Caleb: Oh? Why? don't you get lonely?
Harper: Not at all. I rather be by myself.
Caleb: I see...I almost forgot I have something I wanted
to give you.
Harper: You do?
Caleb handed harper a journal. He remembered her mentioning
she liked to write, and hoped it would help ease her troubles.
Harper instantly threw her arms around Caleb, but pulled back
immediately.
Harper: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.But thank you!
Caleb: Its alright, Harper.Anytime you need a hug, I'm right here!
They both smiled and looked away from each other.
Harper: You remembered me mentioning that I liked to write.
That's so thoughtful.
Caleb: Hope it makes you feel better.
Audrey is having a midlife crisis. She wished for a makeover at the salon. The salon is very close to her house, so she walked there with Mark.
While she was giving herself a makeover Mark played with Pal, a mysterious doll he received by post.
Audrey and Roderick will get married soon, so she chose a wedding outfit.
Roderick got promoted in his political career, and then visited the bookshop across the street. He stocked up on fiction, toddler books, skill books and recipes for the whole family.
Raising Mark is easy for Audrey now that she has Roderick and Janella to help her. She was a single mum when Janella was a toddler, and that was very stressful.
(By the way, that green triangular thing under Audrey's feet? That's a Spring Festival gnome, who sank into the platform on which the kitchen is raised.)
Hmm weird glitch am trying to send my family to a new world and they don’t arrive I’m thinking it’s because I’m taking the horses but I need them
Edit: Got that fixed, but now when my sims arrive in the world I can't place them on a lot, the lots don't show up even though there's plenty of empty lots.
Isabel goes to Dark Harbor to try to find Gregg Craig's parents. She doesn't find them, but does discover the world has become corrupt and the entire population of 88 sims need to be moved out.
Note: I have moved the 88 sims out of Dark Harbor, but not recorded video of it happening. They are all happily settled in two new worlds. They end up in Cornucopia and Glenvale City. Neither of these worlds appear in the video but they will eventually end up in future videos as I've moved several of Eric's relatives to both of those worlds.
I am also playing a small side game in Dark Harbor with a view to setting it up for future play. I will put the nhd file from that game into the Big Game so Dark Harbor will continue to be a part of this story as well as the McFluff Story.
In this video, we have a quick look around Dark Harbor and then Isabel returns to Moonfall Island Boarding School.
Eric decides it's time for an adventure and he dials up a travel agent. Eric, Oscar and Susanne set out to visit the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. We spend some time in that world and meet the sims living in it.
Eric really wanted to go to Moonlight Falls but didn't want to raise suspicions with folks back in Moonfall Island.
Faith MacDuff from Moonlight Falls is about to age up to Young Adult so it seems reasonable that Eric and Co escort her back home. Before leaving for Moonlight Falls, Faith makes her Imaginary Friend, Hesper, Real. Hesper becomes Henry.
Eric, Oscar, Susanne, Faith and Henry travel to Moonlight Falls.
Eric meets up with his special friend and there is some serious flirting. I think something might be going on with that pair. Interesting.
Faith and Henry have cake and celebrate their birthday. The plan is for Faith and Henry to share a house in Moonlight Falls now they are young adults.
In order to get some/most of the video for this episode I needed to go back to an earlier version of the game. I saved Henry to my library as he hadn't existed previously.
Back in March and April this year I spent ages doing lots of housekeeping on this game. I'd just continued to play it for years. It is the game for Oscar's stories as well as The McFluff Story. Just about all of the worlds had become so overstuffed with sims that it was often impossible for me to save them. I had this issue again in this pre housekeeping version of Moonlight Falls.
For the next episode of this video series I'll go to a later save. Eventually I'll get Eric and his buddies up to the current version of the save. At that point I should have no problems with saving. I have added several new worlds to the game and the game is now good to play. I'll try to progressively continue to move sims to new worlds as the population of this game continues to grow. I currently have 1,075 sim listed in my spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is up to date as well now. I need it to know where my sims are so I can send Eric to the appropriate worlds whenever he and his friends decide to travel.
I became aware of the problem of the location of sims not being recorded accurately in the spreadsheet when I couldn't find Gregg Craig's parents. I did eventually find them so he does get to go home, but not in this episode. I will continue to send Isabel out to find them and she will go through each world in almost alphabetic order. The next world in the next episode will be Grey Meadow Islands. It should have been visited in this episode if I'd stuck rigidly to the order. I don't plan to send her to Hidden Springs either as I currently have only one household in that world and it isn't overpopulated and Gregg's parents are not in the world. But I do plan for Oscar to move there when he becomes a Young Adult and settles down to raise a huge family. Currently the only household I have there is Gertie McFluff with her 15 cats.
I'm thinking the next video I made might be from a different series. Currently I'm thinking of doing a few episodes of either 'The Perfect Genetics Challenge' or 'Caroline and Friends at University'. There are interesting sims in both of those series and lots happening. With Perfect Genetics the first heir is about to take over from her mother. In Caroline and Friends there are a whole host of very different sims with different traits to allow for maximum achievements at University. Isla Paradiso Bunch is completed unless I decide to do a third series at some stage.
@Onverser Nice, it seems your town is constantly in a state of fear.
@GraceyManor I don't know if I've seen many stories from that era, so I'm looking forward to this.
I hope the person isn't dead.
I see that Harper travelled back in time.
I'm glad someone found her at least.
I wonder if Harper and Caleb will fall in love.
Hey, she found her phone. Only bad thing is that it will die without electricity.
Sorry to hear about her father passing. Sadly, I don't think she'll see her mom anymore either unless she gets transported, or Harper gets sent back to the present.
@PalmArrow Congrats on Roderick joining the family.
Thanks, I can't believe it either. If I had more time to play, I'd probably be closer to generation 9 or 10 but I'm getting there.
I love the alchemy table and the elixirs.
Great update!
@emorrill You're welcome.
All I'm seeing at the moment is that HBO Max is going to have it in the fall, and PVOD has where you can rent it on August 9. For my rewatch, I'm waiting for the DVD so I can rent it. My mom didn't go with my brother and I so I told her we'd watch it once it hits Red Box or whatever.
Thanks. I haven't had a lot of time to play recently, so I think I'm going to load the game up in a few minutes.
@lisasc360 Hope someone knows where to find it.
Glad to hear you found it, just hope you can get it to show up.
@Karritz Sounds like things are still going well with Oscar.

Caleb: Harper, what do you like to do in your free time?
Caleb asked. He wanted to get to know Harper a little better, but
tried his best not to pry, she seemed to be quiet and reserved and he
was trying to help her open up a bit.
Harper: Oh? I like writing and painting.
Caleb: You like to write? That's very impressive.
Harper: Thank you, but I'm sure your skills are more impressive.
Mary: Where is Harper? I don't see her around.
Joseph: You are right. The young lady is gone.
Caleb: Good maker! Keep walking, I'll go find her.
Caleb searched everywhere he could for Harper, she wasn't anywhere
to be found, the only sound he heard was the rustling of a lonely deer and
a few rabbits rushing through the bushes.
Caleb: Thank the maker! There you are. We've been searching everywhere
for you.
Harper: I'm sorry, I spotted this fruit garden and wanted a few strawberries.
Caleb was clearly frustrated with Harper.
Caleb: Harper, I'm not sure how your groups were run, but we stick together
here. Kindly let us know where you're going.
Harper: I do apologize, I'm used to being alone, I didn't mean to
make you all worry. It won't happen again.
Caleb smiled at Harper, feeling a sense of relief knowing she was okay.
Caleb: Don't worry about it, Harper.I'm just glad you're okay.
He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and beckoned for her to join the rest
of the party.
Harper followed Caleb over to the camp site, where Mary sat lazily
in her chair knitting away.She peaked up over her project and looked
Harper over.Harper could feel a motherly lecture coming on.
Mary: You know dear, you really shouldn't run amuck like that.
There are bears that will eat you out here.
Caleb: Mary! Don't tell her that.
Mary: A little fear might serve her well, she won't be so reckless.
Harper: Yes, I understand. I apologize, I won't do it again.
Caleb shook his head and gave Harper the "Its okay" look.
After dinner, Harper decided to watch the wildlife, she spotted a mother
rabbit and her babies heading home. Caleb took great interest in watching
Harper, and found himself smiling at her enjoyment over simple things.

Time for Mark to age up to toddler! I thought he might have inherited Audrey's dark hair with blue tips, but he has his absent father's completely dark hair instead.
It is summer in my game. I'm playing on normal lifespan and each season lasts a week. I've just decided to give Janella a school-free Friday by having her check in at the family resort with her dad, so that I can give her a four-days-long summer vacation from Leisure Day Thursday to the weekend. I'll do the same thing in the future whenever there are children or teens in the household in the summer.
The family resort is rated four stars at the moment, but I've bought some additional objects and I'm hoping it will reach five stars soon. I peeked during the night and the staff were working diligently, although one of them is somewhat unusually wearing a witch's hat!
I love that sideshow tent! Did you build it?
.

Joseph: Caleb, you seem preoccupied this morning.Are you feeling
okay?
Caleb: Hmm? Yes, I'm quite alright, thank you.
Caleb was lost in thought, obviously preoccupied with other things,
and his travelers were picking up on it.
Harper: My feet are killing me....ugh, give me a day with a bunch
of regrets anytime...this is horrible.I really want to go home.
The rest of the group were getting tired of Harper's bickering and
decided to back off for a bit.Harper didn't mind though, she enjoyed
her solitude and it gave her a chance to vent her grievances.
Mary: Good maker, if I hear one more complaint. I think I might just
leave and go home.Her constant bickering is enough to lead me to drink.
And I'm a Christian woman.
Caleb: Please be patient with her.
Mary: Even patience runs out after a while.
Caleb felt bad for the group leaving Harper to herself and he
went to make amends.
Caleb: Let me apologize on the other's behalf's. They're just as tired
as you and I am.
Harper: I'm not bothered at all. I like my solitude.
Caleb: Oh? Why? don't you get lonely?
Harper: Not at all. I rather be by myself.
Caleb: I see...I almost forgot I have something I wanted
to give you.
Harper: You do?
Caleb handed harper a journal. He remembered her mentioning
she liked to write, and hoped it would help ease her troubles.
Harper instantly threw her arms around Caleb, but pulled back
immediately.
Harper: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.But thank you!
Caleb: Its alright, Harper.Anytime you need a hug, I'm right here!
They both smiled and looked away from each other.
Harper: You remembered me mentioning that I liked to write.
That's so thoughtful.
Caleb: Hope it makes you feel better.

@GraceyManor , Harper's turquoise dress suits her very nicely!
While she was giving herself a makeover Mark played with Pal, a mysterious doll he received by post.
Audrey and Roderick will get married soon, so she chose a wedding outfit.
Roderick got promoted in his political career, and then visited the bookshop across the street. He stocked up on fiction, toddler books, skill books and recipes for the whole family.
Raising Mark is easy for Audrey now that she has Roderick and Janella to help her. She was a single mum when Janella was a toddler, and that was very stressful.
(By the way, that green triangular thing under Audrey's feet? That's a Spring Festival gnome, who sank into the platform on which the kitchen is raised.)
Tessa and Benny (Benny as a matter of fact is canon Hawaiian - Polynesian (mostly Asian from the looks of it). 😁
I hope I can make a good facsimile of them in Sims 3.
At least it’s keeping me from going absolutely stir crazy
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~

Edit: Got that fixed, but now when my sims arrive in the world I can't place them on a lot, the lots don't show up even though there's plenty of empty lots.

Isabel goes to Dark Harbor to try to find Gregg Craig's parents. She doesn't find them, but does discover the world has become corrupt and the entire population of 88 sims need to be moved out.
Note: I have moved the 88 sims out of Dark Harbor, but not recorded video of it happening. They are all happily settled in two new worlds. They end up in Cornucopia and Glenvale City. Neither of these worlds appear in the video but they will eventually end up in future videos as I've moved several of Eric's relatives to both of those worlds.
I am also playing a small side game in Dark Harbor with a view to setting it up for future play. I will put the nhd file from that game into the Big Game so Dark Harbor will continue to be a part of this story as well as the McFluff Story.
In this video, we have a quick look around Dark Harbor and then Isabel returns to Moonfall Island Boarding School.
Eric decides it's time for an adventure and he dials up a travel agent. Eric, Oscar and Susanne set out to visit the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. We spend some time in that world and meet the sims living in it.
Eric really wanted to go to Moonlight Falls but didn't want to raise suspicions with folks back in Moonfall Island.
Faith MacDuff from Moonlight Falls is about to age up to Young Adult so it seems reasonable that Eric and Co escort her back home. Before leaving for Moonlight Falls, Faith makes her Imaginary Friend, Hesper, Real. Hesper becomes Henry.
Eric, Oscar, Susanne, Faith and Henry travel to Moonlight Falls.
Eric meets up with his special friend and there is some serious flirting. I think something might be going on with that pair. Interesting.
Faith and Henry have cake and celebrate their birthday. The plan is for Faith and Henry to share a house in Moonlight Falls now they are young adults.
In order to get some/most of the video for this episode I needed to go back to an earlier version of the game. I saved Henry to my library as he hadn't existed previously.
Back in March and April this year I spent ages doing lots of housekeeping on this game. I'd just continued to play it for years. It is the game for Oscar's stories as well as The McFluff Story. Just about all of the worlds had become so overstuffed with sims that it was often impossible for me to save them. I had this issue again in this pre housekeeping version of Moonlight Falls.
For the next episode of this video series I'll go to a later save. Eventually I'll get Eric and his buddies up to the current version of the save. At that point I should have no problems with saving. I have added several new worlds to the game and the game is now good to play. I'll try to progressively continue to move sims to new worlds as the population of this game continues to grow. I currently have 1,075 sim listed in my spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is up to date as well now. I need it to know where my sims are so I can send Eric to the appropriate worlds whenever he and his friends decide to travel.
I became aware of the problem of the location of sims not being recorded accurately in the spreadsheet when I couldn't find Gregg Craig's parents. I did eventually find them so he does get to go home, but not in this episode. I will continue to send Isabel out to find them and she will go through each world in almost alphabetic order. The next world in the next episode will be Grey Meadow Islands. It should have been visited in this episode if I'd stuck rigidly to the order. I don't plan to send her to Hidden Springs either as I currently have only one household in that world and it isn't overpopulated and Gregg's parents are not in the world. But I do plan for Oscar to move there when he becomes a Young Adult and settles down to raise a huge family. Currently the only household I have there is Gertie McFluff with her 15 cats.
I'm thinking the next video I made might be from a different series. Currently I'm thinking of doing a few episodes of either 'The Perfect Genetics Challenge' or 'Caroline and Friends at University'. There are interesting sims in both of those series and lots happening. With Perfect Genetics the first heir is about to take over from her mother. In Caroline and Friends there are a whole host of very different sims with different traits to allow for maximum achievements at University. Isla Paradiso Bunch is completed unless I decide to do a third series at some stage.
Happy Simming

Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
Thanks! Always looking for new mobile games.

I finally managed to get my “happiness” meter above negative which is crucial if you want to have a profitable farm and not get hosed by expenses.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
Happy Holidays from the Artemis & Bull Families!
***Getting ready to play soon. Hopefully the baby will be born today, otherwise it'll have to wait until next week.
@ButterWafflesAR Did not know that could happen, lol
Congrats to Camillo and Lindsey!
Awesome wedding!
Great update!
@Astro Great update with Calvin!
Great updates!
@Onverser Nice, it seems your town is constantly in a state of fear.
@GraceyManor I don't know if I've seen many stories from that era, so I'm looking forward to this.
I hope the person isn't dead.
I see that Harper travelled back in time.
I'm glad someone found her at least.
I wonder if Harper and Caleb will fall in love.
Hey, she found her phone. Only bad thing is that it will die without electricity.
Sorry to hear about her father passing. Sadly, I don't think she'll see her mom anymore either unless she gets transported, or Harper gets sent back to the present.
Great updates!
@bekkasan Awesome photo booth photos!
Pete's Silly Sideshow looks cool!
@PalmArrow Congrats on Roderick joining the family.
Thanks, I can't believe it either. If I had more time to play, I'd probably be closer to generation 9 or 10 but I'm getting there.
I love the alchemy table and the elixirs.
Great update!
@emorrill You're welcome.
All I'm seeing at the moment is that HBO Max is going to have it in the fall, and PVOD has where you can rent it on August 9. For my rewatch, I'm waiting for the DVD so I can rent it. My mom didn't go with my brother and I so I told her we'd watch it once it hits Red Box or whatever.
Thanks. I haven't had a lot of time to play recently, so I think I'm going to load the game up in a few minutes.
@lisasc360 Hope someone knows where to find it.
Glad to hear you found it, just hope you can get it to show up.
@Karritz Sounds like things are still going well with Oscar.
Yeah neither have I that's why I wanted to do one.
But finding the right CC and worlds is difficult.
