*waves* Shhhhh, long time lurker here! I read your sims' antics and updates at night on my tablet when I'm winding down. I'm not too find of typing out lots of text on it, so I apologize for not commenting but I've been been following for awhile.
I'm not a huge storyteller ... well, I'm not a storyteller at all (except in my head) but I've been playing around in a new save and thought I'd give it a try and maybe it would help me have a goal to keep me focused and interested in playing more instead of creating CC, building or decorating.
I'm not real sure where to put my story, so I'll put it here and if it's wrong, please let me know and I'll post it in the correct area.
I have a whole entertwined story plot sort of floating around in my head. Originally I thought I'd be starting it with a different sim I had created, but while testing some mods I really like my sim I had created for testing purposes, so she will start the story.
:: Destined Connections ::
Gemini crawled into bed thinking about her day. It was good, but it also wasn’t so good.
She had received a letter a few days ago, asking her to meet with a lawyer in San Myshuno regarding her estranged Uncle Eddie. Sadly, he was involved in an accident and had recently passed away.
Gemini hadn’t seen Uncle Eddie since she was little. The whole family washed their hands of him when he went to prison ….. again (for the 3rd time)! See, Uncle Eddie was not a good person; well he was always good to her so she didn’t really understand why her parents were so mad at him. But one day she overheard her parents talking about the bad things he had done (Boozing, gambling, and swindling money from people) and then she sort of understood or at least as much as her 8 year old mind could comprehend.
Years went by and she had totally forgotten about him, until the letter came.
According to the lawyer, Uncle Eddie had never had any children and since he was no longer a part of the family he had nobody. But, on his death bed, he asked the nurse to help him write a will. He still remembered his cute little niece and had decided to leave everything to her! WHAT??!!!
Falling into a deep sleep, she was dreaming of the bright future she’d have when she was suddenly woke up by the loud, annoying sound of her phone ringing.
It was Tessa, her best friend since grade school. She was crying hysterically but it was useless to try and make sense of what she was saying between her sobs. Gemini had no idea what was wrong; she just knew that Tessa needed her (now)!
So, without hesitation, she packed up her things and called a cab.
Don was standing at the door, looking like a completely different human-being! He had shaven his facial hair and got a new haircut.
He chuckled. "Yes, Tori. It's me. I decided to try a new look, what do you think?"
"I... I think it looks great!" I felt myself blushing. "Really, I do!"
"Thanks. Oh. I came here to give you this back," Don handed me my purse. "You left it at our house yesterday."
"Thank you, I didn't notice... Come in!" Don entered the living room and sat down on the sofa, while I placed my purse on the counter.
"I can't stay very long," Don said. "I just came by to drop that off."
"Okay, thanks again."
"No problem. Maybe we can go out, soon?"
"Sure." I smiled. "Just text me."
"Okay," He arose off the couch. "I must get going now. Goodbye!"
"Bye!" Wow! He is soo handsome! I thought to myself with a grin. Later in the afternoon...
"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Bridgette questioned.
"Yeah, I mean look at Yogi. He needs a friend." I have been wanting to adopt another cat for a while now. Yogi seemed a little lonely.. also, who doesn't want another kitten?!
Bridgette sighed. "Alright."
"Yay! Plus, I think it is fair, since you went behind my back and set me up on a date, you're lucky I didn't buy one without asking!" I quickly pulled out my phone and scrolled on the adoption site. I saw this beautiful female cat, with stripes all over her. She was only a few months old.
"I think I found one!" I squealed. I called up the shelter and the they sent someone out within an hour.
"Okay, here she is," The worker said, letting the small kitten out of her crate. She was so tiny and adorable.
"Awwww!!!" I bent down and let her sniff my hand. She quickly warmed up enough for me to pet her.
"Do you want to adopt her?" The worker asked.
I picked the kitten up. "Absolutely! Does she have a name?"
"Nope."
"Oh... Well, I'll come up with a name eventually!" After signing some papers, the kitten was ours. We all decided on the name... Lilly
Lilly took a liking to Bridgette. She would follow her around everywhere, including to the computer.
It took Yogi some time to warm up to Lilly, but I knew soon they would get along.
When I woke up the next morning, Yogi was asleep on the on top of the fridge. Nothing new there. But I did notice his breathing sounded more raspy and he was drooling a lot. So, I chose to take him to the vet. Poor guy!
"Yogi?" The vet asked.
"That's him." I replied. Yogi was taken to a examination room.
"Mhm.." The vet mumbled, looking at Yogi and listening to his breathing.
After his temperature was taken, the vet concluded Yogi had a infection, that needed some antibiotics for.
Yogi was brave through it all. I made sure to give him lots of hugs and treats after that.
Back at home, I played with the laser pointer with Lilly. She was so cute trying to get the laser light on the ground. I got a text from Don just then. Hey! Want to go out to the Solar Flare? 6:30?.. 6:30... thirty minutes.. I thought before I typed back; Yeah! Meet you there!
"That was a nice outing." I said, as we stepped on the front porch of my house.
"Yeah," Don agreed. "It makes it even better, because it was with you." He stepped closer to me, pulling me into a embrace. Don's emerald eyes stared into mine, as we pulled away. Pretty soon..
Don kissed me! My stomach fluttered like a million butterflies were in it. Sparks flew off like fireworks.
And that feeling continued for the next three minutes. Instantly, nothing else mattered in the world...
I went to bed that night with a huge smile on my face, dreaming of that moment over and over again..
Here is the Plum family, having a funeral for the recently deceased Austin Plum (left tombstone with the flowers), father to my Sim Auggie (white hair, pink and blue outfit).

It took a stupid amount of time just to have everyone sit down...
A teaser of my next update, and something... I really don't know what to make of...
The something... in the spoiler. @DaniRose2143 Maybe... Maybe Lady Mimi could make use of some of this for inspiration...
The mermadic outfits my merfolk wear have more rhyme or reason than this. I mean, my merfolk, for all intensive purposes, spent years without ever leaving the water before the story started. But this... this is a product of thrift tea and has started to trend in my game.
A sim week later...
Even though Dylan and Zeph have no understanding of how humans are supposed to dress. I still managed to put together more reasonable outfits for them...
Wish it was just bad townie fashion, but... Judith is to blame for any unusual trends. I'm thinking her celebrity status might have started something... curious?
Edit: Honestly, I haven’t spent a lot of time with Thriftea other then using it to create outfits for my merfolk to progress into blending in with humans… I don’t know if townies normally create unusual outfits or not?
So far, there are only 2 situations that seem to result in interesting outfits. Sulani Island Festivals and ThrifTea seem to get the townie treatment.
Every once in a rare while, sims show up with outfits similar to the ones certain townies have in San Myshuno. I can’t remember what that hidden trait is.
Princess Roddy headed into his bedroom and played with Eachann:
He then changed into his feminine cold weather outfit and stroked his furry companion:
Shelly came in. She smiled as she watched Princess Roddy tickle Eachann. The kitten then came over to Shelly and meowed hello. Shelly gently picked up Eachann and gave him a loving smooch on his head:
Princess Roddy then went outside and gave Marzipan a cuddle:
He also gave Patches a cuddle. Then the princess checked on his vegetable patch.
Sibling love and affection.
Princess Roddy went upstairs into his bedroom and reapplied his lipstick and lipstick sealer:
Hamish knocked at the door. 'Come in, little brother!' the princess said. Hamish came in. Princess Roddy gave him a great, big, loving hug:
The two siblings chatted to each other:
Princess Roddy then gave Hamish a loving smooch on his left cheek:
A loving smooch on his right cheek:
And a loving smooch on his nose:
The princess and his little brother then played with Eachann.
Kitten snuggles
Princess Roddy went downstairs. Benjamin smiled and gave his firstborn son a loving hug:
Then the pair chatted to each other:
Afterwards, Princess Roddy went back upstairs into his bedroom and cuddled Eachann:
Then he gave the kitten a treat:
The princess watched as his companion pounced on a mouse shaped ball:
Princess Roddy then picked up Eachann and showered him in affection:
Eachann purred and nuzzled his owner.
Kitten kisses and more!
After a nap in his pet bed, Eachann decided to visit Shelly. Shelly smiled. 'Hello little one!' she said, warmly. Eachann meowed hello. Shelly stroked Eachann:
Then she carefully picked up her eldest nephew's kitten. 'Who's an adorable guy? You are!' she said, cooing at Eachann:
Shelly gave Eachann a loving smooch on the top of his head:
She then chatted with him:
Later, Shelly took Eachann into Princess Roddy's bedroom. The kitten purred when he saw his owner. 'Hello, my adorable floofball!' the princess said, looking fondly at his companion. Shelly smiled and gave her adorable nephew a great, big, loving hug:
Princess Roddy then chatted with his favourite aunt:
Later, Shelly smiled sweetly, batted her eyelashes and made a very great, big kissy face at the princess, which made him giggle:
Then she gave him a very great, big, loving smooch on his cheek:
Princess Roddy smiled. He then put some fresh food out for Eachann, which the kitten ate:
Then the princess sat down and chatted with his favourite aunt some more.
Getting ready for winter.
Winter was just around the corner in Simsonia. Princess Roddy was excited to do some ice skating. He chatted to Jessica Lacey, his sweetheart, on the phone:
Meanwhile, his sister, Sophia, was reading a comedy adventure novel on her tablet:
And their little brother, Hamish, was on a walk with Olivia Kim-Lewis, his sweetheart. Shine, their mother, had just finished typing up a children's book, calling it 'The Adventures of Eachann'. It was about Princess Roddy's beloved kitten, Eachann and his four legged friends. She sent it to the Literary Digest:
Later, Hamish returned from his walk with Olivia Kim-Lewis. Benjamin made him a cup of hot chocolate and chatted to his youngest son. 'Dad, can we get the Christmas tree out?' Hamish asked. 'I don't see why not, my boy!' Benjamin replied, cheerfully. 'Yay!' Hamish exclaimed, happily. He helped to set up the Christmas tree. Then Benjamin called the family down to the living room. Once everyone was present, the tree decoration commenced:
Shine and her sister, Shelly, got the honours of adding the tree topper and lighting the Christmas tree:
It was going to be Shelly's first winter in Brindleton Bay, since she hadn't seen any snow when she lived in Oasis Springs. Also, it was going to be her first winter with her beloved nephews and niece, and her beloved sister.
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
@Metior_Ice I wouldn’t be surprised if the fame system and Trendi are tied together. There is the fame perk that has fans dress like that star so tying those together is pretty much the same. Mimi is going to be fun and challenging just because there are so many different ways to go with the character. And I’m going to have to learn how to write PG rated tart tongued drag queen humor.
@DaniRose2143 I do wonder about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if fame can make Trendi outfits more popular.
On a side note, I think a big part of a successful renovation is how a sim interacts with other sims. There are friendly interactions that appear during a room renovation that might help build a positive reputation. I had Kemps ask Makoa and his triplet sons about their likes and dislikes. Kemps is now good friends with Makoa and the triplet merboys, and he instantly got promoted after the gig.
So, there are interactions related to the Interior Decorator Career that don’t appear under the career interactions.
As for Dylan and Zeph’s time in High School, I am trying to put that off. Mostly, I want Dylan and Zeph to attend High School with the other merboys and mergirls. There’s Sefina, Cecelia, Krista, Aaron, Kylen, Lir, Kai, Lano, and Tero that are all teens, and I’m really hoping that they all get to attend High School together. So, in a way, I’m trying my best to stick to updates that include my merfolk in their natural environment, the sea or in the water.
@Metior_Ice That sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to seeing the twins in high school.
I've gotten started on renovating and placing lots for Schemes and Dreams. First up was renovating Orchid-a-go-go. I'm not sure what I'm going to rename it just yet. As I start decorating I'm sure a name will come to me. I did get the one big project done. I moved the walls back to open up a bigger area for dancing and placed a stage. The next big thing to figure out is lighting. Since most of the second floor is open the lights over the stage are up in the rafters. I need to experiment a little to get it bright enough to take screenshots, but dark enough to look like a nightclub.
The Lady Mimi arriving to check out and give her approval to the work that's been done so far.
The dressing room is off to a good start but still needs a lot of work to get the Lady Mimi seal of approval.💋
Since Mimi's here and the stage is open, why not...
@DaniRose2143 What about including windows to help with lighting? For San Myshuno, I love the industrial kit. Also, a trick that might work would be having the lights hover in mid air. As long as you don’t have a balcony or a second level, you can technically put the lights lower down.
Another trick would be playing with the lights in live mode.
They have a very good system for replicating lights, and my advice is to use something in the yellow-white end of the spectrum.
Blue-White lights are extremely bright and simulate daylight. They are great for an office setting.
Yellow-White are dimmer and they are closer to what you want in a bedroom, living room, and maybe even a nightclub.
If you have individual lights, you could make them the color of the rainbow, might be good for spotlight effects.
Keep in mind, the color of objects that match the lights will pop out more. Blue stands out in Blue-White, and Yellow stands out in Yellow-White.
The light colors might even affect colors like green, orange, and purple.
I’m really hoping this helps, and I’m looking forward to Lady Mimi’s debut!
@Metior_Ice Those are some great ideas. I will probably end up installing several big windows to make it look more modern. In the meantime I had a little inspiration. Even with the building expanded it was crowded with a dance next to the stage. So I thought where could I put the dance floor? I could close up the second floor and put it there.🤔 Then inspiration hit. I could make a covered outdoor dance area on the original roof. Place a few shake and shimmy dance floors so sims can shake and...umm...shimmy over the stage and viola...
Add in some windows like you say and it should be well lit. This 'little' renovation project of mine is getting out of hand like so many of them do.😆
A little update on how the new club is going. I did decide on a name for it. Just a minor tweak to the original name. Big thank you to Syboubou for the neon letters to make the sign.
More than enough seating for shows.
I removed the shake and shimmy dance floors that I was using for skylights. I finally remembered the name of the floor tiles from Island Living, crystal clear. They make perfect skylights.
I just have the finishing touches to do on the first floor. The second floor is going to be a karaoke lounge. The rooftop is still going to be the dance floor and at least two more bars. I placed a glass roof over it so my sims can have all kinds of electronic toys up there and no worries about anything getting ruined when it rains.
Blehhh, I had some issues with my save and finally got it all sorted out. (Nothing game related, but simmer error on my part .....)
I had created my characters when I had Clothes, Hair and Shoe CC in my game, but when I started actually playing this save I forgot I had moved my clothing folder to my desktop and had deleted a bunch of hairs that I thought I wouldn't use ..... totally forgetting that my peeps were using some of that CC.
So my one girl was mostly bald for all her outfits and both of them were in just their undies. I had to go back and try and remember what hairs she used and re-download them. Anyway all good now.
:: Destined Connections - Gemini & Tessa ::
After the cab dropped Gemini off at the train station, she called Tessa to see if she could learn more about what was going on. Tessa was still a mess and couldn’t stop crying.
Gemini sighed to herself thinking this was going to be a lonnnnnggggg day.
“Tessa, honey, please try to stop crying so you can at least tell me where you are so I know which train to take”
After a few more hiccups and sniffles, Tessa was finally able to tell her that she was at the No-Tell Motel in Evergreen Harbor.
“Ok Tessa, I’m coming! I’m still in San Myshuno, about 3 hours away from you by train. You going to be okay until I get there?”
Tessa sniffled again but assured Gemini that she would be okay and that she would not do anything stupid.
Taking a deep breath and blowing it out, Gemini bought a ticket to Evergreen Harbor.
Once she was finally settled in for the long ride, she looked up the address for the motel and put it in her GPS. She was hoping it was not too far from the E-Har Train Station because she was extremely low on funds and couldn’t really afford to take a cab or uber to the motel.
Glancing down at her high-heeled boots, she let out a string of curse words berating herself for her hasty rush. Why oh why, didn’t she think ahead before getting dressed in such a hurry?!! Nope, not her! She’s always been the impulsive one to “act now and think later”. Shaking her head and sighing once again she thought to herself “These boots aren’t made for walking, but that’s just what they’re gonna do”.
Gemini arrived in Evergreen Harbor about 9:30 AM.
Heaving her overnight bag over her shoulder, she got off the train looked around. Ewwww! Gross! What a scummy area it was. Thankfully the motel was less than a mile away
But, the closer she got to the motel, the trashier the area became.
Block after block of nothing but rundown houses piled high with trash and broken objects. Trash and debris blowing on the streets, and she thought she spotted a homeless person sleeping under a piece of cardboard beneath the overpass.
As Gemini rounded the corner, she got her first look at the motel and wrinkled her nose and thought to herself “What in the world is Tessa doing at such a seedy place?”
Even though it was still early in the morning, she could already spot some unsavory people hanging around on the street corners. Drug dealers? Escorts? Who knew, but one thing for sure, she knew they needed to get out of there as quick as possible!
She walked up the outside stairs and started looking for Room 13. When she found it, she knocked softly on the door, hoping to not disturb anybody who might still be sleeping (didn’t need to cause any trouble in this part of the town, that’s for sure!
Tessa cautiously opened the door a few minutes later and flew into Gemini’s arms, squeezing her tight. “OMG! She looks like she’s been run over by a truck!” Gemini thought to herself. Tessa’s hair was in tangles and her mascara had dried in long streaks down her cheeks. Her nose was bright red and her eyes were so puffy they were almost swollen shut.
Gemini just held her tightly and let her cry it out. It took about 15 minutes for the sobbing to finally subside enough for them to go inside the motel room.
Once they were inside and sitting on the bed, Gemini softly asked Tessa what had happened. Tessa jumped up and shook her head. Her eyes immediately filling with tears again.
After awhile, Tessa finally calmed down.
Gemini quietly asked her again “Want to tell me what happened?”
Shaking her head emphatically, Tessa almost yelled “No! I don’t wanna even think about it, let alone talk about it!”
But she still wasn’t ready to talk about what happened.
So rather than upset her again, Gemini chatted about her train ride and tried to make her laugh by describing all of the ridiculously dressed people who were on the train with her.
All of a sudden, Tessa’s phone rings. She picks it up to see who’s calling and looks back up at Gemini with a look of fear on her face. Tessa whispers “It’s him! Should I answer it?”
Since Gemini has no idea who “him” was, she blurts out the first thing that popped into her head …
“H. E. Double L ….. NO! Do NOT answer that! I have no idea who it is, but whoever it is, if they can invoke that look of fear and terror on your face ….. You’re better off without them in your life!”
She made Tessa hand her the phone and immediately shut it off and slid it in her bag.
Noticing the time, Gemini said “We need to get going. Why don’t you go take a long, hot steamy shower and get dressed? I’m going to change into some regular clothes and see if I can’t find us something to drink.”
@simexpert123
Wow! Don looks COMPLETELY different without facial hair! I didn’t recognize him at all!
And I had to laugh when Bridgette asked “If it was a good idea”, I thought for sure she was meaning the date with Don!
Then when you took Yogi to the vet, I thought maybe the story was going to go in a new direction and there would possibly be a new love interest after meeting the vet.
And Lilly is super cute too!
Awesome Update!
@Froil
I bet that was super hard and trying to get everybody to sit at once! I can’t imagine doing it with that many that many people, I tried with just 1 sim and 3 roommates and I wanted to pull my hair out! LOL
But, it looked like it was a lovely memorial, and indeed even though it was due to sad circumstances, getting together with family and friends you haven’t seen in awhile helps a lot, to get to talk and reminisce about the memories of your loved one. I just went through this in RL, we had a “Celebration of Life” for my mom’s funeral, instead of mourning her death.
@DaniRose2143
Been following your Under the Tartosa Sun for awhile now, but I think I missed the part about Lady Mimi, so I’ll have to go back and re-read parts.
BTW …. The club looks Ahhhh-mazing! Love the lighting! Really makes it pop!
The first build for Schemes and Dreams is done. The former Orchid A Go Go recently came under new management. The new owner renovated the classic watering hole and turned it into Del Sol Valley's premier LGBTQ nightclub. It was renamed The Orchid Club and it is a safe space for LGBTQ sims and their allies to go and let loose, to simply be who they are.
Welcome to The Orchid Club. In front there are three separate spots for musicians to busk for the crowds as they arrive and depart.
When you enter you are greeted by a bar and the main stage. The stage is large enough to host performances of all kinds. (I did make the stage larger in hopes we will be getting a music pack next year. It's ready for a band if get the ability to create one.)
The Mistress of Ceremonies, the Lady Mimi Eleganza performs nightly.
Mimi is not the only entertainment. The second floor boasts two large screen Karaoke machines. Eat your heart out Plant Honey Pop!
The fun doesn't stop there. If you're willing, and your legs are strong enough, a trip up to the roof will reveal two more bars, an outdoor projection tv with comfy sofas to rest your posterior on, and two dance floors for your enjoyment once your legs recover from the climb. For the daring, there are the skylights built into the floor that will dangle you three stories above the stage. Don't worry though they're strong enough to hold you...hopefully.
The Orchid Club isn't hard to find here in Del Sol Valley's glittering entertainment district.
@Chicklet453681 Thank you so much for the compliments on the club!❤️ I need to double check because I think I may have one or two of your items in there. I didn't use a lot of CC but I did use some. The neon lights are the most obvious CC.
I'm so happy you're enjoying Under The Tartosan Sun. Lady Mimi is part of a second story called 'Schemes and Dreams' that I'm going to be doing in addition to Tartosan Sun. That club is the first build I'm doing to get ready for that story. I have the cast all created and I think the post with them is on page 1063 or 1064 of this thread. I think your going to enjoy that one too.
I'm not sure if I should be posting in this topic or the non-serial one...for now this is going to be a serial story so I guess here works
Micah and Alana are in the midst of planning a wedding. They had their rehearsal dinner at the Ngata-Illes household. I'm keeping this wedding as small as possible since I figure I might have a chance of getting all my sims to cooperate that way.
The rehearsal dinner was uneventful. I did try the teapot for the first time though.
Once they returned home, Alana and Micah enjoyed a moment away from all the wedding planning madness to stargaze. Micah is an alien/mermaid hybrid. Perhaps he's pointing out Sixam in the distance to Alana.
The stargazing led to some more romance between the pair
yes, Thrifttea lot will often create silly outfits, I usuallu just laugh about those. but indeed good explanation to blame Judith, makes sense too , fans imitating her I wish to show Coraline again soon, she got new hair again.
its pain to do, get all sit down, well done hehe , their surname , anything to do with famous Plum what had a great long career as forums censor mark ?
lovely pics from the couple in water Im glad that rehearsal dinner went fine, while uneventfull
Justine is having motivation troubles, her bosses were only waiting light travel books or funny lil plays from her, but she would love to do more, so much more. She just did not know how to.
Better to have a walk, have some dinner from one of the diners.
While her taking a walk on the beach, she thought what she really wanted to write, was crime novels, those kind what keep their readers trapped till last page.
But how.. she was not sure at all can she...
What if I dont have imagination enough?
She realized she had walked a long time, all diners were closed.
Should she talk to her boss? no, not a good idea, she hardly knew her yet.. to who then?
Here she was, eating at park... or in cheap diner..
There was really 4 eggs and 1 milk in the fridge.
She had a daytime job at Tartosan Post, but it was Friday and her job was not till Monday..
So long weekend ahead, eating at park.
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
@Ellupelluellu You are really sweet. Thank you so much.❤️ I happen to know an author named Danielle Huntley whose life has certain similarities to Justine's.😉 She would tell Justine to write what's in her heart and to trust in it. Good luck Justine!
I can't seem to be able to start a new topic (I guess Im too much of a newcomer?) but I have a problem maybe someone could tell me about. Perhaps Im missing something and this is not a bug.
In my current game suddenly all romantic options have vanished from my Sim, who recently got into a romantic relationship.
If I click other sims, no romantic category shows up. Only thing I can think about that could affect is that my Sim is teen and currently has "fear of being cheated on", but to resolve that fear Im supposed to choose "talk over relationship fears" with my boyfriend in romantic category.... except no romantic category shows up when I click them.
I also cannot choose "go on a date" from the phone, the option seems to have vanished.

Great looking club! Looking forward to Lady Mimi’s antics.
@Mikeymikedeluxe Thank you very much and welcome to the forums. I hope to have the first chapter of that story ready to post by the end of the month.😁 I still have a lot of work to do on homes and venues.

According to the lawyer, Uncle Eddie had never had any children and since he was no longer a part of the family he had nobody. But, on his death bed, he asked the nurse to help him write a will. He still remembered his cute little niece and had decided to leave everything to her! WHAT??!!!
Falling into a deep sleep, she was dreaming of the bright future she’d have when she was suddenly woke up by the loud, annoying sound of her phone ringing.
It was Tessa, her best friend since grade school. She was crying hysterically but it was useless to try and make sense of what she was saying between her sobs. Gemini had no idea what was wrong; she just knew that Tessa needed her (now)!
So, without hesitation, she packed up her things and called a cab.
Don was standing at the door, looking like a completely different human-being! He had shaven his facial hair and got a new haircut.
He chuckled. "Yes, Tori. It's me. I decided to try a new look, what do you think?"
"I... I think it looks great!" I felt myself blushing. "Really, I do!"
"Thanks. Oh. I came here to give you this back," Don handed me my purse. "You left it at our house yesterday."
"Thank you, I didn't notice... Come in!" Don entered the living room and sat down on the sofa, while I placed my purse on the counter.
"I can't stay very long," Don said. "I just came by to drop that off."
"Okay, thanks again."
"No problem. Maybe we can go out, soon?"
"Sure." I smiled. "Just text me."
"Okay," He arose off the couch. "I must get going now. Goodbye!"
"Bye!" Wow! He is soo handsome! I thought to myself with a grin.
Later in the afternoon...
"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Bridgette questioned.
"Yeah, I mean look at Yogi. He needs a friend." I have been wanting to adopt another cat for a while now. Yogi seemed a little lonely.. also, who doesn't want another kitten?!
Bridgette sighed. "Alright."
"Yay! Plus, I think it is fair, since you went behind my back and set me up on a date, you're lucky I didn't buy one without asking!" I quickly pulled out my phone and scrolled on the adoption site. I saw this beautiful female cat, with stripes all over her. She was only a few months old.
"I think I found one!" I squealed. I called up the shelter and the they sent someone out within an hour.
"Okay, here she is," The worker said, letting the small kitten out of her crate. She was so tiny and adorable.
"Awwww!!!" I bent down and let her sniff my hand. She quickly warmed up enough for me to pet her.
"Do you want to adopt her?" The worker asked.
I picked the kitten up. "Absolutely! Does she have a name?"
"Nope."
"Oh... Well, I'll come up with a name eventually!" After signing some papers, the kitten was ours. We all decided on the name... Lilly
Lilly took a liking to Bridgette. She would follow her around everywhere, including to the computer.
It took Yogi some time to warm up to Lilly, but I knew soon they would get along.
When I woke up the next morning, Yogi was asleep on the on top of the fridge. Nothing new there. But I did notice his breathing sounded more raspy and he was drooling a lot. So, I chose to take him to the vet. Poor guy!
"Yogi?" The vet asked.
"That's him." I replied. Yogi was taken to a examination room.
"Mhm.." The vet mumbled, looking at Yogi and listening to his breathing.
After his temperature was taken, the vet concluded Yogi had a infection, that needed some antibiotics for.
Yogi was brave through it all. I made sure to give him lots of hugs and treats after that.
Back at home, I played with the laser pointer with Lilly. She was so cute trying to get the laser light on the ground. I got a text from Don just then.
Hey! Want to go out to the Solar Flare? 6:30?..
6:30... thirty minutes.. I thought before I typed back; Yeah! Meet you there!
"That was a nice outing." I said, as we stepped on the front porch of my house.
"Yeah," Don agreed. "It makes it even better, because it was with you." He stepped closer to me, pulling me into a embrace. Don's emerald eyes stared into mine, as we pulled away. Pretty soon..
Don kissed me! My stomach fluttered like a million butterflies were in it. Sparks flew off like fireworks.
And that feeling continued for the next three minutes. Instantly, nothing else mattered in the world...
I went to bed that night with a huge smile on my face, dreaming of that moment over and over again..
I hope everyone has enjoyed!

The something... in the spoiler. @DaniRose2143 Maybe... Maybe Lady Mimi could make use of some of this for inspiration...
A sim week later...
Even though Dylan and Zeph have no understanding of how humans are supposed to dress. I still managed to put together more reasonable outfits for them...
Wish it was just bad townie fashion, but... Judith is to blame for any unusual trends. I'm thinking her celebrity status might have started something... curious?
Edit: Honestly, I haven’t spent a lot of time with Thriftea other then using it to create outfits for my merfolk to progress into blending in with humans… I don’t know if townies normally create unusual outfits or not?
Every once in a rare while, sims show up with outfits similar to the ones certain townies have in San Myshuno. I can’t remember what that hidden trait is.
He then changed into his feminine cold weather outfit and stroked his furry companion:
Shelly came in. She smiled as she watched Princess Roddy tickle Eachann. The kitten then came over to Shelly and meowed hello. Shelly gently picked up Eachann and gave him a loving smooch on his head:
Princess Roddy then went outside and gave Marzipan a cuddle:
He also gave Patches a cuddle. Then the princess checked on his vegetable patch.
Hamish knocked at the door. 'Come in, little brother!' the princess said. Hamish came in. Princess Roddy gave him a great, big, loving hug:
The two siblings chatted to each other:
Princess Roddy then gave Hamish a loving smooch on his left cheek:
A loving smooch on his right cheek:
And a loving smooch on his nose:
The princess and his little brother then played with Eachann.
Then the pair chatted to each other:
Afterwards, Princess Roddy went back upstairs into his bedroom and cuddled Eachann:
Then he gave the kitten a treat:
The princess watched as his companion pounced on a mouse shaped ball:
Princess Roddy then picked up Eachann and showered him in affection:
Eachann purred and nuzzled his owner.
Then she carefully picked up her eldest nephew's kitten. 'Who's an adorable guy? You are!' she said, cooing at Eachann:
Shelly gave Eachann a loving smooch on the top of his head:
She then chatted with him:
Later, Shelly took Eachann into Princess Roddy's bedroom. The kitten purred when he saw his owner. 'Hello, my adorable floofball!' the princess said, looking fondly at his companion. Shelly smiled and gave her adorable nephew a great, big, loving hug:
Princess Roddy then chatted with his favourite aunt:
Later, Shelly smiled sweetly, batted her eyelashes and made a very great, big kissy face at the princess, which made him giggle:
Then she gave him a very great, big, loving smooch on his cheek:
Princess Roddy smiled. He then put some fresh food out for Eachann, which the kitten ate:
Then the princess sat down and chatted with his favourite aunt some more.
Meanwhile, his sister, Sophia, was reading a comedy adventure novel on her tablet:
And their little brother, Hamish, was on a walk with Olivia Kim-Lewis, his sweetheart. Shine, their mother, had just finished typing up a children's book, calling it 'The Adventures of Eachann'. It was about Princess Roddy's beloved kitten, Eachann and his four legged friends. She sent it to the Literary Digest:
Later, Hamish returned from his walk with Olivia Kim-Lewis. Benjamin made him a cup of hot chocolate and chatted to his youngest son. 'Dad, can we get the Christmas tree out?' Hamish asked. 'I don't see why not, my boy!' Benjamin replied, cheerfully. 'Yay!' Hamish exclaimed, happily. He helped to set up the Christmas tree. Then Benjamin called the family down to the living room. Once everyone was present, the tree decoration commenced:
Shine and her sister, Shelly, got the honours of adding the tree topper and lighting the Christmas tree:
It was going to be Shelly's first winter in Brindleton Bay, since she hadn't seen any snow when she lived in Oasis Springs. Also, it was going to be her first winter with her beloved nephews and niece, and her beloved sister.

On a side note, I think a big part of a successful renovation is how a sim interacts with other sims. There are friendly interactions that appear during a room renovation that might help build a positive reputation. I had Kemps ask Makoa and his triplet sons about their likes and dislikes. Kemps is now good friends with Makoa and the triplet merboys, and he instantly got promoted after the gig.
So, there are interactions related to the Interior Decorator Career that don’t appear under the career interactions.
As for Dylan and Zeph’s time in High School, I am trying to put that off. Mostly, I want Dylan and Zeph to attend High School with the other merboys and mergirls. There’s Sefina, Cecelia, Krista, Aaron, Kylen, Lir, Kai, Lano, and Tero that are all teens, and I’m really hoping that they all get to attend High School together. So, in a way, I’m trying my best to stick to updates that include my merfolk in their natural environment, the sea or in the water.
I've gotten started on renovating and placing lots for Schemes and Dreams. First up was renovating Orchid-a-go-go. I'm not sure what I'm going to rename it just yet. As I start decorating I'm sure a name will come to me. I did get the one big project done. I moved the walls back to open up a bigger area for dancing and placed a stage. The next big thing to figure out is lighting. Since most of the second floor is open the lights over the stage are up in the rafters. I need to experiment a little to get it bright enough to take screenshots, but dark enough to look like a nightclub.
The Lady Mimi arriving to check out and give her approval to the work that's been done so far.
The dressing room is off to a good start but still needs a lot of work to get the Lady Mimi seal of approval.💋
Since Mimi's here and the stage is open, why not...
Another trick would be playing with the lights in live mode.
They have a very good system for replicating lights, and my advice is to use something in the yellow-white end of the spectrum.
Blue-White lights are extremely bright and simulate daylight. They are great for an office setting.
Yellow-White are dimmer and they are closer to what you want in a bedroom, living room, and maybe even a nightclub.
If you have individual lights, you could make them the color of the rainbow, might be good for spotlight effects.
Keep in mind, the color of objects that match the lights will pop out more. Blue stands out in Blue-White, and Yellow stands out in Yellow-White.
The light colors might even affect colors like green, orange, and purple.
I’m really hoping this helps, and I’m looking forward to Lady Mimi’s debut!
Add in some windows like you say and it should be well lit. This 'little' renovation project of mine is getting out of hand like so many of them do.😆
More than enough seating for shows.
I removed the shake and shimmy dance floors that I was using for skylights. I finally remembered the name of the floor tiles from Island Living, crystal clear. They make perfect skylights.
I just have the finishing touches to do on the first floor. The second floor is going to be a karaoke lounge. The rooftop is still going to be the dance floor and at least two more bars. I placed a glass roof over it so my sims can have all kinds of electronic toys up there and no worries about anything getting ruined when it rains.
I had created my characters when I had Clothes, Hair and Shoe CC in my game, but when I started actually playing this save I forgot I had moved my clothing folder to my desktop and had deleted a bunch of hairs that I thought I wouldn't use ..... totally forgetting that my peeps were using some of that CC.
So my one girl was mostly bald for all her outfits and both of them were in just their undies. I had to go back and try and remember what hairs she used and re-download them. Anyway all good now.
:: Destined Connections - Gemini & Tessa ::
Gemini sighed to herself thinking this was going to be a lonnnnnggggg day.
“Tessa, honey, please try to stop crying so you can at least tell me where you are so I know which train to take”
After a few more hiccups and sniffles, Tessa was finally able to tell her that she was at the No-Tell Motel in Evergreen Harbor.
“Ok Tessa, I’m coming! I’m still in San Myshuno, about 3 hours away from you by train. You going to be okay until I get there?”
Tessa sniffled again but assured Gemini that she would be okay and that she would not do anything stupid.
Taking a deep breath and blowing it out, Gemini bought a ticket to Evergreen Harbor.
Once she was finally settled in for the long ride, she looked up the address for the motel and put it in her GPS. She was hoping it was not too far from the E-Har Train Station because she was extremely low on funds and couldn’t really afford to take a cab or uber to the motel.
Glancing down at her high-heeled boots, she let out a string of curse words berating herself for her hasty rush. Why oh why, didn’t she think ahead before getting dressed in such a hurry?!! Nope, not her! She’s always been the impulsive one to “act now and think later”. Shaking her head and sighing once again she thought to herself “These boots aren’t made for walking, but that’s just what they’re gonna do”.
Gemini arrived in Evergreen Harbor about 9:30 AM.
Heaving her overnight bag over her shoulder, she got off the train looked around. Ewwww! Gross! What a scummy area it was. Thankfully the motel was less than a mile away
But, the closer she got to the motel, the trashier the area became.
Block after block of nothing but rundown houses piled high with trash and broken objects. Trash and debris blowing on the streets, and she thought she spotted a homeless person sleeping under a piece of cardboard beneath the overpass.
As Gemini rounded the corner, she got her first look at the motel and wrinkled her nose and thought to herself “What in the world is Tessa doing at such a seedy place?”
Even though it was still early in the morning, she could already spot some unsavory people hanging around on the street corners. Drug dealers? Escorts? Who knew, but one thing for sure, she knew they needed to get out of there as quick as possible!
She walked up the outside stairs and started looking for Room 13. When she found it, she knocked softly on the door, hoping to not disturb anybody who might still be sleeping (didn’t need to cause any trouble in this part of the town, that’s for sure!
Tessa cautiously opened the door a few minutes later and flew into Gemini’s arms, squeezing her tight. “OMG! She looks like she’s been run over by a truck!” Gemini thought to herself. Tessa’s hair was in tangles and her mascara had dried in long streaks down her cheeks. Her nose was bright red and her eyes were so puffy they were almost swollen shut.
Gemini just held her tightly and let her cry it out. It took about 15 minutes for the sobbing to finally subside enough for them to go inside the motel room.
Once they were inside and sitting on the bed, Gemini softly asked Tessa what had happened. Tessa jumped up and shook her head. Her eyes immediately filling with tears again.
After awhile, Tessa finally calmed down.
Gemini quietly asked her again “Want to tell me what happened?”
Shaking her head emphatically, Tessa almost yelled “No! I don’t wanna even think about it, let alone talk about it!”
But she still wasn’t ready to talk about what happened.
So rather than upset her again, Gemini chatted about her train ride and tried to make her laugh by describing all of the ridiculously dressed people who were on the train with her.
All of a sudden, Tessa’s phone rings. She picks it up to see who’s calling and looks back up at Gemini with a look of fear on her face. Tessa whispers “It’s him! Should I answer it?”
Since Gemini has no idea who “him” was, she blurts out the first thing that popped into her head …
“H. E. Double L ….. NO! Do NOT answer that! I have no idea who it is, but whoever it is, if they can invoke that look of fear and terror on your face ….. You’re better off without them in your life!”
She made Tessa hand her the phone and immediately shut it off and slid it in her bag.
Noticing the time, Gemini said “We need to get going. Why don’t you go take a long, hot steamy shower and get dressed? I’m going to change into some regular clothes and see if I can’t find us something to drink.”
Wow! Don looks COMPLETELY different without facial hair! I didn’t recognize him at all!
And I had to laugh when Bridgette asked “If it was a good idea”, I thought for sure she was meaning the date with Don!
Then when you took Yogi to the vet, I thought maybe the story was going to go in a new direction and there would possibly be a new love interest after meeting the vet.
And Lilly is super cute too!
Awesome Update!
@Froil
I bet that was super hard and trying to get everybody to sit at once! I can’t imagine doing it with that many that many people, I tried with just 1 sim and 3 roommates and I wanted to pull my hair out! LOL
But, it looked like it was a lovely memorial, and indeed even though it was due to sad circumstances, getting together with family and friends you haven’t seen in awhile helps a lot, to get to talk and reminisce about the memories of your loved one. I just went through this in RL, we had a “Celebration of Life” for my mom’s funeral, instead of mourning her death.
@DaniRose2143
Been following your Under the Tartosa Sun for awhile now, but I think I missed the part about Lady Mimi, so I’ll have to go back and re-read parts.
BTW …. The club looks Ahhhh-mazing! Love the lighting! Really makes it pop!
Welcome to The Orchid Club. In front there are three separate spots for musicians to busk for the crowds as they arrive and depart.
When you enter you are greeted by a bar and the main stage. The stage is large enough to host performances of all kinds. (I did make the stage larger in hopes we will be getting a music pack next year. It's ready for a band if get the ability to create one.)
Mimi is not the only entertainment. The second floor boasts two large screen Karaoke machines. Eat your heart out Plant Honey Pop!
The fun doesn't stop there. If you're willing, and your legs are strong enough, a trip up to the roof will reveal two more bars, an outdoor projection tv with comfy sofas to rest your posterior on, and two dance floors for your enjoyment once your legs recover from the climb. For the daring, there are the skylights built into the floor that will dangle you three stories above the stage. Don't worry though they're strong enough to hold you...hopefully.
The Orchid Club isn't hard to find here in Del Sol Valley's glittering entertainment district.
I'm so happy you're enjoying Under The Tartosan Sun. Lady Mimi is part of a second story called 'Schemes and Dreams' that I'm going to be doing in addition to Tartosan Sun. That club is the first build I'm doing to get ready for that story. I have the cast all created and I think the post with them is on page 1063 or 1064 of this thread. I think your going to enjoy that one too.
Micah and Alana are in the midst of planning a wedding. They had their rehearsal dinner at the Ngata-Illes household. I'm keeping this wedding as small as possible since I figure I might have a chance of getting all my sims to cooperate that way.
Once they returned home, Alana and Micah enjoyed a moment away from all the wedding planning madness to stargaze. Micah is an alien/mermaid hybrid. Perhaps he's pointing out Sixam in the distance to Alana.
The stargazing led to some more romance between the pair
Micah and Alana have been around in my game for a while, and I found some old posts with some of their history, just in case anyone felt inclined to read

@Metior_Ice ,
@Chicklet453681 ,
Exellent pictures too!
@permanentrose ,
Justine is having motivation troubles, her bosses were only waiting light travel books or funny lil plays from her, but she would love to do more, so much more. She just did not know how to.
Better to have a walk, have some dinner from one of the diners.
But how.. she was not sure at all can she...
What if I dont have imagination enough?
She realized she had walked a long time, all diners were closed.
Should she talk to her boss? no, not a good idea, she hardly knew her yet.. to who then?
Here she was, eating at park... or in cheap diner..
There was really 4 eggs and 1 milk in the fridge.
She had a daytime job at Tartosan Post, but it was Friday and her job was not till Monday..
So long weekend ahead, eating at park.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
In my current game suddenly all romantic options have vanished from my Sim, who recently got into a romantic relationship.
If I click other sims, no romantic category shows up. Only thing I can think about that could affect is that my Sim is teen and currently has "fear of being cheated on", but to resolve that fear Im supposed to choose "talk over relationship fears" with my boyfriend in romantic category.... except no romantic category shows up when I click them.
I also cannot choose "go on a date" from the phone, the option seems to have vanished.
> The first build for Schemes and Dreams is done. The former Orchid A Go Go recently came under new management. The new owner renovated the classic watering hole and turned it into Del Sol Valley's premier LGBTQ nightclub. It was renamed The Orchid Club and it is a safe space for LGBTQ sims and their allies to go and let loose, to simply be who they are.

Great looking club! Looking forward to Lady Mimi’s antics.
@Chicklet453681 I really enjoyed your latest segment. Can't wait to see just what Tessa has gotten herself into.
