Is it bad that I miss the 10 image per post limit of Tumblr?
Anyway, time for the entries.
Piano, and a very angry princess.
Princess Roddy played the piano:
Then he attempted to order pizza via Lin-Z:
A few moments passed, and the pizza hadn't arrived. 'Lin-Z. Where's my pizza? Princess Roddy asked:
'Sent it to the prison Agnes Crumplebottom is in.' Lin-Z replied. Princess Roddy, who's normally calm, apart from when he's dealing with threats to Simsonia, exploded in anger. 'YE DID WHAT?' he bellowed:
'You've got plenty in the fridge!' Lin-Z bit back:
'Are ye fer real, ye braindead box? We don' have pizza in the fridge!' Princess Roddy boomed:
'Well, go make some, you royal pain!' Lin-Z answered back:
'Och, why ye cheeky wee....mum, dad or me aunt don't have the recipe fer pizza, because fer whatever reason, it's a trade secret!' the princess raged, insulted by the "smart" speaker:
Lin-Z then had a meltdown. 'DoEs NoT cOmPuTe...MeMoRy ErRoR' it said as its circuitry fried:
'The speakers and stereos around Dianthus Hall are unbreakable, compared to this hateful smart assistant.' Princess Roddy thought, calming down. Later, Shine came in and turned the malfunctioning device into salvage. 'Good riddance.' Princess Roddy said.
Pizza, take two.
Princess Roddy, still feeling the need for pizza, ordered via phone:
In no time at all, Gilbert Palumbo arrived with the pizza:
After thanking and tipping Gilbert, Princess Roddy took the pizza inside and had a slice:
Everyone had a slice:
Hamish then put the rest of the pizza in the fridge.
Amy Lyles meets Eachann for the first time!
The entire Furystrykar household headed over to Serene Hearth:
Regina Lyles welcomed the group in. Princess Roddy headed upstairs with Eachann into Amy Lyles' bedroom. The toddler was playing on her toy phone:
She then noticed Princess Roddy. 'Princess Roddy!' Amy said, happily. The princess smiled and carefully put Eachann on the floor. Amy then gave Princess Roddy a hug:
She sweetly kissed the princess's cheek. Princess Roddy smiled. Shelly Heart came upstairs and said hello:
Eachann also meowed hello:
'Kitty!' Amy said, her eyes lighting up. Eachann looked at his owner, worried. 'Don't worry, my adorable little floofball. She's friendly.' Princess Roddy telepathically reassured his furry companion. Amy gently picked Eachann up and cuddled him:
After carefully putting the kitten back on the floor, Amy had a flash card session with her mother:
Afterwards, Regina said hello to Shelly Heart:
Benjamin gave Regina some magical training:
Meanwhile, Amy sat down and had some scrambled eggs and toast that Princess Roddy gave her:
After she finished, Amy went back upstairs and attempted to imitate Eachann:
Then it was time for the Furystrykar household to go home. Princess Roddy gave Amy a hug:
As did Shelly Heart:
Then the Furystrykar household said goodbye to Regina and Amy Lyles and went back to Dianthus Hall.
Kitten playtime and weeding!
Screenshot only section.
Aunt Shelly Heart's love!
Shelly Heart came into her eldest nephew's bedroom. Eachann meowed hello. 'Hello, Eachann!' Shelly said, smiling. She gave the kitten a loving smooch:
Then she gently put Eachann back on the ground. Shelly then came over to Princess Roddy and gave him a great, big, loving hug:
The pair then chatted to each other:
'I love you, my adorable little cutie pie!' Shelly said:
'I love you too, auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy replied:
Shelly smiled. She gave her adorable nephew a very great, big, loving smooch on his cheek:
Shelly then gave Princess Roddy a very great, big, loving hug:
And a very great, big, loving snuggle:
Shelly gave Princess Roddy a great, big, loving and warm cuddle:
She cuddled him tighter:
Princess Roddy smiled. Shelly was his favourite aunt! Shelly then gave Eachann another loving smooch:
The kitten purred.
Eating the leftover pizza!
Princess Roddy went downstairs and had a slice of the leftover pizza:
Then Shelly came downstairs and had the last slice:
Meanwhile, Shine was spending time with her daughter, Sophia:
And Benjamin spent time with his youngest son, Hamish:
A chat from time to time was much appreciated.
No, seriously, I'm missing the 10 image per post limit of Tumblr.

Aaaa! First of all thank you so much! It means a ton to get this many words and thoughts from someone.
You are very right that it's a bit sketchy of Eliza to sell those pastries which, yes, she does refuse to eat. Then again, she isn't the sort of a sim who would try and make everyone else eat the way they do... not even Bob, even though she does try to influence his habits somewhat. (That's pretty difficult, though.) Also... Ack! You read my mind. I had been hoping to get the both of them into this nectar business myself, and I was excited about possibly mending the relationship. Yeah, but when I had Eliza "describe new idea" to Bob as a way of telling him about the business venture he actually reacted negatively and then proceeded to be autonomously mean to her. And then I had to come up with a reason why he would fly off the handle like that. DX So yeah. Be like that, Bob. See if I care. -.-
Yep! I do hope we can still get a family seance anyway. Possibly even including Alex. With Bella... it's less about chores and more about her not really being very good at her job. I mean, come on. She's a good sim. Good sims don't lie! But... doesn't being a secret agent kind of necessitate that? I headcanon that she is utterly hopeless at what she's trying to do. XD
Also... *pokes lightly* flatterer. But thank you! =^.^= I spend a week with each family, though I might not always rotate them evenly. For example, I got the University pack just yesterday and I got Eliza to enroll immediately, so I'll have to stick with her longer. At least to finish one term before moving on. Also yes, yes, all the yes, I do plan on adding more households! Many more! XD I was just worried about overwhelming myself with keeping the stories straight... and possibly making them hard to remember for you readers as well. So, I planned on adding others kind of gradually. (And possibly randomly. I have a weakness for rolling dice. >.> XD)
As for your own sims... first you are very welcome and second, I have more! A-a-a-aaaah! I feel for Adeliese, of course, that is some terrible situation implied there. But my heart hurts for Asher, too. I mean, being immortal is already lonely enough. Being unable to understand basic human thought process on top of that... yeah, I can tell that Asher's strain of vampirism is one of the ones that are genuinely a curse. Unless, of course, he is being a silly. I wonder how easy/difficult would it be for him to get along with another vampire instead...?
@GalacticGal,
Thanks! It was the second time that Lin-Z misbehaved. The "smart" speaker giving up the ghost wasn't planned, but it was quite funny when it happened.
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
@haneul Just read part one. Boy, does Asher have much to learn. What a dolt. Very good-looking, but a dolt all the same. Nacissist comes to mind. Very entertaining.
Part two was equally captivating. I didn't bother to read the introduction. I much prefer the writer show me what their characters are like. I have to say I was gobsmacked to learn what I did about their marriage. I'll be interested in seeing if Adeleise takes up the offer from their help. Great job.
Alright. So, next on Preset Mysteries, we have the Pancakes household again.
And I probably should apologize to anyone who hates Eliza because, well, as the more... active one of the household, she has much more stuff to report on! ;D ...aaand I just realized I haven't taken any pics of her business lot. Whoops!
Well, it still isn't very pretty, anyway... let's say Eliza didn't want me to show you. She thinks it's ugly. But it does the job. It does the job so well, in fact, that she could renovate the house! Only the outside, for now. The inside is... passable, but the outside, with the old wooden siding? Please. Now, this is the new facade:
And her chess table balcony up close and personal:
It's really the back shes proud of, though:
Especially the back balcony that isn't empty anymore.
Then when the work on the house was done, Eliza invited a friend over... only for Katrina to talk her into changing up her style, as well:
Come on, Eliza... don't be afraid of it. You don't even look like you belong in here, now! XP
Wow... this isn't so bad!
Eliza hadn't been sure about letting Katrina Caliente of all sims give her a makeover, but... she can get behind this!
And lastly, Eliza gathered the courage and sent in an application to the universities!
The acceptance letter, when it came, disappointed her for a moment. She'd hoped to go to Britechester, to study the Culinary Arts, but wasn't accepted for that distinguished degree. And she had no idea how she got accepted for history or art history... but they weren't really what she wanted to study in depth. But then an idea struck her... It was, in her mind, better to go to Foxbury than to settle for a non-distinguished degree and if she did that, she could do economics! Which... frankly, was more up her alley, anyway. Sure she still wanted to make absolutely amazing nectar, but even if it was the best nectar ever, it still wouldn't sell itself!
She got to studying the very next day, well before her courses even started, to get as ready as she could be... but it just so happened that some stranger decided to "drop by."
Well, he seemed to be a nice enough sim, and Eliza would loathe to seem rude, so she put her (almost finished anyway) homework away to chat with him. That, though, is the problem with Mitchell Kalani. He cheered for Eliza having made it into a distinguished degree and asked if she celebrated already, making it seem like one couldn't claim they've really been a Uni student if they never had a keg party... and, when Eliza called her, of course Katrina was all up for that idea. Well...
So Eliza invited all her friends and ordered a keg of juice. But... Blossom got lost somewhere, some of the folks argued, there wasn't space enough to try a keg stand and in the end it kinda rained on them... and there was still a bit of flat juice left sitting on the bottom when everyone had to leave. It was so gross, even Bob wasn't tempted to try it at all when he came home from work. Overall, that was one miserable party.
At least Blossom popped up the next day with a small token gift to make sure Eliza wasn't too ashamed of not having thrown a better event. She suggested trying again next week, somewhere outside this time. Eliza didn't know if she trusted herself drinking that much somewhere out of home, but... she promised to think about it.
All that said, I did not forget Bob completely.
Even though he did mostly enjoy his nag-free time, he did find a few things that somewhat interested him. Firstly, Grilled Cheese.
Because Grilled Cheese is obviously the best. Bob heard a colleague mention some sims find the meaning of life and spiritual enlightenment in grilled cheese... and well... if ever there was a religion Bob was willing to try and learn more about, it was absolutely the church of cheddar.
The day he found out that Eliza would be doing university courses from home, Bob felt very antagonistic. He didn't want to study more, but he also felt bitter that Eliza would have a degree (because he did not doubt she would) and so wanted to do something that would absolutely flabbergast her. Which, surprisingly, ended up with him taking a trip all the way to Evergreen Harbor to do some dumpster diving.
It fell a bit flat, though, because Eliza was so taken up in her own pursuits that she did not even seem to notice.
Oh! And after one wild summer's storm, Bob found something interesting outside. Normally, he wouldn't even trip over minerals, but this one somehow caught his attention... felt weirdly as if it was calling to him... Bob didn't get it, but he wanted to have this one chunk of metal for some reason.
Right. So that's it for today. This was a whole week with the Pancakes and I will do one more week with them to let Eliza get through her first term of Uni to make sure she actually gets good grades.
Medley Witherbean, an eccentric herbalist turned witch, is teaching her brown hen Untamed Magic!! Already wary of Mooncasters, Rory will not be pleased when she gets wind of this.
That's an interesting point about Blake, that he may want to meet in public to try to make sure Danielle feels at ease. It's considerate. When I hear about intro business meetings, I worry about not being bro-y enough. Luckily, I've been able to dodge all issues with that for now, but I always wonder if those are skills I need to develop.
I see what you mean about Bella! It's hard to be a good secret agent if you aren't deceitful. Rolling dice to decide which new family gets introduced first later is clever and sounds fun because it leaves something outside of your control. I haven't used dice to decide anything yet, but I know of several Simmers who do.
The flowers on Eliza's back balcony are beautiful and Eliza looks great after her new makeover too. She was always cute, though. But, oh dear. Bob should be the one celebrating her admissions with her. They are really toxic if he's jealous of her degree instead of proud.
Thanks for your comments on my Sims again! With Asher, his issue with understanding others may be his personal problem (him being a silly) and maybe he'll be able to sort it out. Unless I change how I play it's going to be virtually impossible for him to have a vampire as a romantic partner. Because I had a bad experience with occults in Sims 3, when I started experimenting with occults in Sims 4, I decided to keep their numbers very low. Vampires are limited by MCCC to around 1% or maybe less than 1% of my Sim population. They have to figure out ways to deal with loneliness and isolation, which probably does feel like a curse.
@haneul
Thank youuuu! I adore the plants from Romantic Garden so much. Also... I guess you could say the Pancakes are toxic, yeah. It could be worse, I do believe, but at the same time lots of bad decisions went into the two of them even getting together in the first place.and they really aren't good for each other in any way.
Oooh, so the main problem is there being very, very few vampires, hmm? Well, if Asher can't feasibly find himself a partner of his own kind, then I would not call him a silly. Because in that case, he is really doing the best he can, isn't he?
Several weeks have passed since my sim self and his wife Elena divorced. A few weeks later, i find Elena waiting outside his house. Elena is the mother of Elizabeth, their only daughter from this marriage.
When my sim self clicked on Elena's sim profile, any trace of their marriage or likes and dislikes have gone and the "divorced" relationship is no longer there. It's like he's erased the last four years of his life completely from memory! I thought the divorced part stays there forever?
Starlight, Star-bright, an Erik Cantrell Main Save RESET
Erik and Kayleigh beamed into the parking lot of the PBP Studio. They paused for a couple of photos, only. Off of the IV for a mere two days, now, Erik didn’t want her to overdo things. She still tired very easily, which had him concerned. Had her mood not taken a serious dip, she would just now be out of the hospital. Doctor Denton, however, listening to Kayleigh’s feelings, decided to send her home, under the care of a competent Nurse.
Nurse Astrid Shipman-Cantrell spent most of the day and part of the evenings watching over her sister-in-law. Checking her IV, her temperature, her heart rate, the works. While Aaron was home, the two wrangled the three Toddlers, as best as anyone could. Erik was just now back to giving concerts. He was given a certain amount of time to deal with the family emergency, but that time was up. So, it was back to business for the Rock Star.
“Can we get you two to pose over there?”
“Sure,” Erik said, taking Kayleigh by the hand and leading the way.
“This is crazy,” Kayleigh said.
“I know, but it doesn’t hurt to indulge them.”
“Break a leg, Honey,” Erik said.
“You took the words right out of my mouth.”
After the brief photoshoot, the couple beamed themselves to the second floor. There were a lot of steps up to reach that floor, and Erik didn’t want his wife to strain herself on them. Already she showed signs of fatigue. He tried to suggest she wait until the following Sunday to return to church, but she was adamant. He was worried that the two events, back-to-back as they were would prove a bit too much for her. Alas, he learned years ago that when Kayleigh set her mind to do something, there was very little that would dissuade her.
While confined to bed, Kayleigh spent part of that time tapping away at her laptop writing another book. She already had one under her belt that fared well. Erik wondered just what she was writing about, this time. She fiercely guarded her work. When she was off of the IV, she spent time with their children.
Kayleigh had a delightful and entertaining conversation with Melodie.
Got nearly soaked giving Harmony a bath.
Jamison was so happy to see his mother up and about.
“Mama up? I miss you.”
“Aw, baby boy, Mama missed you, too. You give the best hugs.”
Erik released his muse and wrapping her hand inside of his elbow, the two slowly walked into the Awards Hall. They barely passed through the arch, the Bouncer smiling and nodding at them, when they heard a thunderous applause. Erik noticed, the place was full for once at this early hour and everyone was on their feet. He leaned over and whispered into Kayleigh’s ear, “This is all for you, you know that, don’t you?”
“Me? Whatever for? Oh, is this because of what happened? I was watching from my hospital bed when you told them about my situation.”
“The world of Entertainment loves a good Comeback story.” With that he lightly kissed her cheek.
“Look who they let out early for good behavior,” He said to the audience as they slowly made their way to the first row. Erik waving at them as if he were a king.
“Erik, stop, you make it sound as if I’ve been in prison.”
Erik shrugged and beamed at her, “Your very words.”
“What do I know? I’ve never been in prison.”
Kayleigh gingerly sat down, Erik taking the chair right next to hers. As the show commenced, Erik caught his wife yawning into her fist every now and again. He was tempted to just beam them back home. Kayleigh must have guessed his thoughts because she turned and whispered, “Not on your life, Bud. I may never get another chance.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” he said, turning to face the front again.
“And, now for the Best Song. For bringing such aural beauty to the ears of Sims around the World, this week’s Best Song goes to — are you ready for this? None other than Erik Cantrell, for his, In Our Beginning. Yay, give it up for him! Nineteen Best Songs in a row.” The Host clapped, smiling broadly.
Stepping up to the microphone, Erik said, “And yet, it never gets old. As a matter of fact, we’ve simply got to stop meeting like this,” Erik quipped, “The wife is getting suspicious.” The audience twittered at this.
“Many thanks to my family, our friends and fans for the countless encouraging letters, cards and gifts sent to my lovely wife, while she recuperates. As in all things, their arrival was quite timely. I should let you know, she is now home. I didn’t borrow her from the hospital for tonight.”
“Thank you Starlight Academy for nominating my song and for those who voted it number one. To my glorious fans who’ve hung in there with me throughout my turbulent career, the ups and downs of it all. To Taygeta Studios, to Orion Entertainment, Limited for the time off they gave me under the circumstances, by holding off on the concert schedule for several days, despite the release of my latest album, That Temptress, Fate. To the medical staff at Willow Creek Private Clinic for taking such excellent care of my Better half. I could do none of this without any of you. Thank you and good afternoon.”
With that Erik stepped off of the platform. He sat next to Kayleigh and held her icy hand, giving it a squeeze. “Cold?”
“Just nervous.”
“No, worries, you’ve still got me, poor thing, one way or the other.”
“Erik.” She lightly scolded using her Mother voice on him. He just grinned.
“For such riveting writing and storytelling, the Starlight Accolade for Best Book, non-fiction category goes to Kayleigh Cantrell for her best-seller, An Act of Faith.”
Kayleigh’s mouth dropped open. Erik stood up and gave her a big kiss, then led her over to the stage, holding onto her as she stepped up. Nodding, and clapping once he let go of her. He started to sit, but the rest of the audience was back on their feet, so he kept his.
“Guess it’s my turn to be the deer in the headlights. You know my husband makes this look so easy. I’m shaking in my boots, so to speak.”
“Oh, please forgive me, this is just too much.”
Kayleigh fought for composure and finally won. She cleared her throat and then said, “What? Big girls do cry. Not often, but sometimes. I’m just overwhelmed. I mean I hoped, but didn’t expect. Does that make sense?”
“Since I was a kid too many years ago, now, I wanted to write. I even directed my university classes toward that end. I got married right after graduation and then the babies came, boom, boom, and boon. Our ‘second’ child was twins. Somewhere, I managed to sneak in a few words on a page, then a few pages at a time until voila my first book was complete. I started this one while I was in the hospital. The words came so fast it was completed in no time at all. Barely published and nominated almost simultaneously.”
“I am more than honored by this recognition of my work. I was only wanting to share my horrific experience. Ladies, if you get a twinge in your lower right side, that is on and off, along with a bit of a fever, don’t ignore it. Especially, if you’re expecting a baby. I had some oddball aches and pains with my second pregnancy, so I thought this was just more of the same, only different. Big mistake. So, I just needed to write this. As a cautionary tale.”
“Honey, I need my own shelf, please.”
“I’ll get that up as soon as we’re home,” Erik said from the audience. The onlookers laughed again.
“Many thanks to my editor, Charlene Dragon, of SimsindaHouse Publishing for the encouragement and the time she gave me to finish this work. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Oh, and there’s the music, so I’ll end by saying thank you so much to everyone.”
Wow, now Peter Masterson is a four star celebrity! He never got this famous in the original version of this save. The highest he got was either Notable Newcomer or Rising Star, I forget which. Maybe he’ll get to lay down a celebrity tile too! It makes sense, as he’s in the entertainment business.
My sims have only had two Lin-Z speakers and both them were troublemakers. Pizza sounds soooo good right now. I think I'll order one for dinner Friday night. The pictures of Eachann playing with her toys is really cute.❤️
I love what you did with the exterior of the Pancake's home. Wow, Katrina really worked some magic on Eliza!🤯 Church of Cheddar! I lost it when I read that, but I would join that religion.
I struggle to get into a bro-y frame of mind. I kind of feel like I need a shower after trying to act bro-y. It's weird how I was just sitting here thinking about what setting to have Danielle and Blake's meeting in and all of a sudden I thought of how awkward that situation could feel. Maybe it's something he sensed with other female clients and he's one of the good guys and he wants to avoid creating those potentially uncomfortable moments.🤔
Congrats to Kayleigh on winning that award. It doesn't make up for the heartbreak but it was a nice karmic gesture. That first award feels extra special.🙂
This was the first time my sim self was in the same room with his second ex wife Elena. She dropped by one evening to see their child, of course this was a very awkward moment for all four of them including my sim self's father:
I think Elena just wanted to come by and see the remodelling my sim self had done to his house!
Harvest '93 arrives!
My sim self decides to host his parents and 7 children. This is also the first time they're seeing their childhood home since the remodel.
My sim self is up early cooking the turkey:
The table is set:
Everyone gathers round the table to enjoy a tasty Harvestfest meal:
Almost everyone. My sim self's youngest Harry and Jessica decided to eat out in the family room:
After dinner, my sim self chills with Harry and Jessica as they live with his first wife Liberty:
Wow, now Peter Masterson is a four star celebrity! He never got this famous in the original version of this save. The highest he got was either Notable Newcomer or Rising Star, I forget which. Maybe he’ll get to lay down a celebrity tile too! It makes sense, as he’s in the entertainment business.
Congrats to Peter! Hopefully he gets the honor of placing a celebrity tile soon.
@DaniRose2143,
Eachann's a boy, but yeah, it's really cute! (Unless you mean Amy Lyles...in that case, it's also cute.) My sister's cat Willow has a toy she absolutely loves to bits.

@haneul , thank you very much from your lovely comments Lisa had a crush to Mitchell Kalani from base game.. I will move him in later :P
Oh , the Plumhead .. hehe i referred from old times when censor bot here replaced all it did not liked with word "Plum" In there I meant that Lisas grandpa , old fashioned ol Plumhead, if asked from Derek, might of not approved Ian and him so well , as a couple
@GalacticGal , congrats to Kayleigh, you need that second set of selves now indeed!
Good rest does wonders!
Spices she bought last night.
How the bunny got the chocolatemilk it gave Lisa, I would like to know...
All fine for a tiny moment!
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..
@DreamPrincess 🤦🏻♀️ Oops. My apologies to you and Eachann.
@Ellupelluellu Proper sleep has such healing power. Lisa is looking much better than she has. That is an odd gift to receive from a bunny. Your pictures of Henford are gorgeous.🥰
Thank you @DaniRose2143 I fully didn't expect her to win. Others in earlier saves got nominated for books, but only one won. So, it was a very nice surprise.
I've got the venues I need for the next chapter of Tartosan Sun. I created a little office for Meghan, one of Danielle's potential agents.
Now the other venue is one I downloaded. It's called Rise & Grind and is the work of Littledica and some of the best cc creators around. Ravasheen, Syboulette, Luddysimmer, and more. This café is amazing! I always find something with every lot that I download that I want to change. Not this time. I cannot think of a single thing I would want to change or swap. By the time it appears in this chapter it will have replaced Waterside Warble. You should check this out...😲
Peter wasn’t in the above screenshot… I checked and he’d fallen asleep on a nearby bench Typical Sims. Your wife’s reached the pinnacle of fame and you’re like “nah imma take a nap”
@GalacticGal Woop! Congratz to Eric and Kay for their double prize!
@DaniRose2143 Tee-hee! Be careful, you (are getting to) know me, the Church of Cheddar might not be as golden as it seems at first taste! XP I mean... remember the Grilled Cheese aspiration? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* (Also, thank youuuu. )
Comments
Anyway, time for the entries.
Then he attempted to order pizza via Lin-Z:
A few moments passed, and the pizza hadn't arrived. 'Lin-Z. Where's my pizza? Princess Roddy asked:
'Sent it to the prison Agnes Crumplebottom is in.' Lin-Z replied. Princess Roddy, who's normally calm, apart from when he's dealing with threats to Simsonia, exploded in anger. 'YE DID WHAT?' he bellowed:
'You've got plenty in the fridge!' Lin-Z bit back:
'Are ye fer real, ye braindead box? We don' have pizza in the fridge!' Princess Roddy boomed:
'Well, go make some, you royal pain!' Lin-Z answered back:
'Och, why ye cheeky wee....mum, dad or me aunt don't have the recipe fer pizza, because fer whatever reason, it's a trade secret!' the princess raged, insulted by the "smart" speaker:
Lin-Z then had a meltdown. 'DoEs NoT cOmPuTe...MeMoRy ErRoR' it said as its circuitry fried:
'The speakers and stereos around Dianthus Hall are unbreakable, compared to this hateful smart assistant.' Princess Roddy thought, calming down. Later, Shine came in and turned the malfunctioning device into salvage. 'Good riddance.' Princess Roddy said.
In no time at all, Gilbert Palumbo arrived with the pizza:
After thanking and tipping Gilbert, Princess Roddy took the pizza inside and had a slice:
Everyone had a slice:
Hamish then put the rest of the pizza in the fridge.
Regina Lyles welcomed the group in. Princess Roddy headed upstairs with Eachann into Amy Lyles' bedroom. The toddler was playing on her toy phone:
She then noticed Princess Roddy. 'Princess Roddy!' Amy said, happily. The princess smiled and carefully put Eachann on the floor. Amy then gave Princess Roddy a hug:
She sweetly kissed the princess's cheek. Princess Roddy smiled. Shelly Heart came upstairs and said hello:
Eachann also meowed hello:
'Kitty!' Amy said, her eyes lighting up. Eachann looked at his owner, worried. 'Don't worry, my adorable little floofball. She's friendly.' Princess Roddy telepathically reassured his furry companion. Amy gently picked Eachann up and cuddled him:
After carefully putting the kitten back on the floor, Amy had a flash card session with her mother:
Afterwards, Regina said hello to Shelly Heart:
Benjamin gave Regina some magical training:
Meanwhile, Amy sat down and had some scrambled eggs and toast that Princess Roddy gave her:
After she finished, Amy went back upstairs and attempted to imitate Eachann:
Then it was time for the Furystrykar household to go home. Princess Roddy gave Amy a hug:
As did Shelly Heart:
Then the Furystrykar household said goodbye to Regina and Amy Lyles and went back to Dianthus Hall.
Then she gently put Eachann back on the ground. Shelly then came over to Princess Roddy and gave him a great, big, loving hug:
The pair then chatted to each other:
'I love you, my adorable little cutie pie!' Shelly said:
'I love you too, auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy replied:
Shelly smiled. She gave her adorable nephew a very great, big, loving smooch on his cheek:
Shelly then gave Princess Roddy a very great, big, loving hug:
And a very great, big, loving snuggle:
Shelly gave Princess Roddy a great, big, loving and warm cuddle:
She cuddled him tighter:
Princess Roddy smiled. Shelly was his favourite aunt! Shelly then gave Eachann another loving smooch:
The kitten purred.
Then Shelly came downstairs and had the last slice:
Meanwhile, Shine was spending time with her daughter, Sophia:
And Benjamin spent time with his youngest son, Hamish:
A chat from time to time was much appreciated.
No, seriously, I'm missing the 10 image per post limit of Tumblr.
You are very right that it's a bit sketchy of Eliza to sell those pastries which, yes, she does refuse to eat. Then again, she isn't the sort of a sim who would try and make everyone else eat the way they do... not even Bob, even though she does try to influence his habits somewhat. (That's pretty difficult, though.) Also... Ack! You read my mind. I had been hoping to get the both of them into this nectar business myself, and I was excited about possibly mending the relationship. Yeah, but when I had Eliza "describe new idea" to Bob as a way of telling him about the business venture he actually reacted negatively and then proceeded to be autonomously mean to her. And then I had to come up with a reason why he would fly off the handle like that. DX So yeah. Be like that, Bob. See if I care. -.-
Yep! I do hope we can still get a family seance anyway. Possibly even including Alex.
Also... *pokes lightly* flatterer. But thank you! =^.^= I spend a week with each family, though I might not always rotate them evenly. For example, I got the University pack just yesterday and I got Eliza to enroll immediately, so I'll have to stick with her longer. At least to finish one term before moving on. Also yes, yes, all the yes, I do plan on adding more households! Many more! XD I was just worried about overwhelming myself with keeping the stories straight... and possibly making them hard to remember for you readers as well. So, I planned on adding others kind of gradually. (And possibly randomly. I have a weakness for rolling dice. >.> XD)
As for your own sims... first you are very welcome and second, I have more! A-a-a-aaaah! I feel for Adeliese, of course, that is some terrible situation implied there. But my heart hurts for Asher, too. I mean, being immortal is already lonely enough. Being unable to understand basic human thought process on top of that... yeah, I can tell that Asher's strain of vampirism is one of the ones that are genuinely a curse. Unless, of course, he is being a silly. I wonder how easy/difficult would it be for him to get along with another vampire instead...?

Thanks! It was the second time that Lin-Z misbehaved. The "smart" speaker giving up the ghost wasn't planned, but it was quite funny when it happened.
Part two was equally captivating. I didn't bother to read the introduction. I much prefer the writer show me what their characters are like. I have to say I was gobsmacked to learn what I did about their marriage. I'll be interested in seeing if Adeleise takes up the offer from their help. Great job.

And I probably should apologize to anyone who hates Eliza because, well, as the more... active one of the household, she has much more stuff to report on! ;D ...aaand I just realized I haven't taken any pics of her business lot. Whoops!
And her chess table balcony up close and personal:
It's really the back shes proud of, though:
Especially the back balcony that isn't empty anymore.
Then when the work on the house was done, Eliza invited a friend over... only for Katrina to talk her into changing up her style, as well:
Come on, Eliza... don't be afraid of it. You don't even look like you belong in here, now! XP
Wow... this isn't so bad!
Eliza hadn't been sure about letting Katrina Caliente of all sims give her a makeover, but... she can get behind this!
And lastly, Eliza gathered the courage and sent in an application to the universities!
The acceptance letter, when it came, disappointed her for a moment. She'd hoped to go to Britechester, to study the Culinary Arts, but wasn't accepted for that distinguished degree. And she had no idea how she got accepted for history or art history... but they weren't really what she wanted to study in depth. But then an idea struck her... It was, in her mind, better to go to Foxbury than to settle for a non-distinguished degree and if she did that, she could do economics! Which... frankly, was more up her alley, anyway. Sure she still wanted to make absolutely amazing nectar, but even if it was the best nectar ever, it still wouldn't sell itself!
She got to studying the very next day, well before her courses even started, to get as ready as she could be... but it just so happened that some stranger decided to "drop by."
Well, he seemed to be a nice enough sim, and Eliza would loathe to seem rude, so she put her (almost finished anyway) homework away to chat with him. That, though, is the problem with Mitchell Kalani. He cheered for Eliza having made it into a distinguished degree and asked if she celebrated already, making it seem like one couldn't claim they've really been a Uni student if they never had a keg party... and, when Eliza called her, of course Katrina was all up for that idea. Well...
So Eliza invited all her friends and ordered a keg of juice. But... Blossom got lost somewhere, some of the folks argued, there wasn't space enough to try a keg stand and in the end it kinda rained on them... and there was still a bit of flat juice left sitting on the bottom when everyone had to leave. It was so gross, even Bob wasn't tempted to try it at all when he came home from work. Overall, that was one miserable party.
At least Blossom popped up the next day with a small token gift to make sure Eliza wasn't too ashamed of not having thrown a better event. She suggested trying again next week, somewhere outside this time. Eliza didn't know if she trusted herself drinking that much somewhere out of home, but... she promised to think about it.
All that said, I did not forget Bob completely.
Because Grilled Cheese is obviously the best. Bob heard a colleague mention some sims find the meaning of life and spiritual enlightenment in grilled cheese... and well... if ever there was a religion Bob was willing to try and learn more about, it was absolutely the church of cheddar.
The day he found out that Eliza would be doing university courses from home, Bob felt very antagonistic. He didn't want to study more, but he also felt bitter that Eliza would have a degree (because he did not doubt she would) and so wanted to do something that would absolutely flabbergast her. Which, surprisingly, ended up with him taking a trip all the way to Evergreen Harbor to do some dumpster diving.
It fell a bit flat, though, because Eliza was so taken up in her own pursuits that she did not even seem to notice.
Oh! And after one wild summer's storm, Bob found something interesting outside. Normally, he wouldn't even trip over minerals, but this one somehow caught his attention... felt weirdly as if it was calling to him... Bob didn't get it, but he wanted to have this one chunk of metal for some reason.
Right. So that's it for today. This was a whole week with the Pancakes and I will do one more week with them to let Eliza get through her first term of Uni to make sure she actually gets good grades.
Medley Witherbean, an eccentric herbalist turned witch, is teaching her brown hen Untamed Magic!! Already wary of Mooncasters, Rory will not be pleased when she gets wind of this.
@_Gina
The flowers on Eliza's back balcony are beautiful and Eliza looks great after her new makeover too. She was always cute, though. But, oh dear. Bob should be the one celebrating her admissions with her. They are really toxic if he's jealous of her degree instead of proud.
Thanks for your comments on my Sims again!
Thank youuuu! I adore the plants from Romantic Garden so much.
Oooh, so the main problem is there being very, very few vampires, hmm? Well, if Asher can't feasibly find himself a partner of his own kind, then I would not call him a silly. Because in that case, he is really doing the best he can, isn't he?
When my sim self clicked on Elena's sim profile, any trace of their marriage or likes and dislikes have gone and the "divorced" relationship is no longer there. It's like he's erased the last four years of his life completely from memory! I thought the divorced part stays there forever?
Erik and Kayleigh beamed into the parking lot of the PBP Studio. They paused for a couple of photos, only. Off of the IV for a mere two days, now, Erik didn’t want her to overdo things. She still tired very easily, which had him concerned. Had her mood not taken a serious dip, she would just now be out of the hospital. Doctor Denton, however, listening to Kayleigh’s feelings, decided to send her home, under the care of a competent Nurse.
Nurse Astrid Shipman-Cantrell spent most of the day and part of the evenings watching over her sister-in-law. Checking her IV, her temperature, her heart rate, the works. While Aaron was home, the two wrangled the three Toddlers, as best as anyone could. Erik was just now back to giving concerts. He was given a certain amount of time to deal with the family emergency, but that time was up. So, it was back to business for the Rock Star.
“Can we get you two to pose over there?”
“Sure,” Erik said, taking Kayleigh by the hand and leading the way.
“This is crazy,” Kayleigh said.
“I know, but it doesn’t hurt to indulge them.”
“Break a leg, Honey,” Erik said.
“You took the words right out of my mouth.”
After the brief photoshoot, the couple beamed themselves to the second floor. There were a lot of steps up to reach that floor, and Erik didn’t want his wife to strain herself on them. Already she showed signs of fatigue. He tried to suggest she wait until the following Sunday to return to church, but she was adamant. He was worried that the two events, back-to-back as they were would prove a bit too much for her. Alas, he learned years ago that when Kayleigh set her mind to do something, there was very little that would dissuade her.
While confined to bed, Kayleigh spent part of that time tapping away at her laptop writing another book. She already had one under her belt that fared well. Erik wondered just what she was writing about, this time. She fiercely guarded her work. When she was off of the IV, she spent time with their children.
Kayleigh had a delightful and entertaining conversation with Melodie.
Got nearly soaked giving Harmony a bath.
Jamison was so happy to see his mother up and about.
“Mama up? I miss you.”
“Aw, baby boy, Mama missed you, too. You give the best hugs.”
Erik released his muse and wrapping her hand inside of his elbow, the two slowly walked into the Awards Hall. They barely passed through the arch, the Bouncer smiling and nodding at them, when they heard a thunderous applause. Erik noticed, the place was full for once at this early hour and everyone was on their feet. He leaned over and whispered into Kayleigh’s ear, “This is all for you, you know that, don’t you?”
“Me? Whatever for? Oh, is this because of what happened? I was watching from my hospital bed when you told them about my situation.”
“The world of Entertainment loves a good Comeback story.” With that he lightly kissed her cheek.
“Look who they let out early for good behavior,” He said to the audience as they slowly made their way to the first row. Erik waving at them as if he were a king.
“Erik, stop, you make it sound as if I’ve been in prison.”
Erik shrugged and beamed at her, “Your very words.”
“What do I know? I’ve never been in prison.”
Kayleigh gingerly sat down, Erik taking the chair right next to hers. As the show commenced, Erik caught his wife yawning into her fist every now and again. He was tempted to just beam them back home. Kayleigh must have guessed his thoughts because she turned and whispered, “Not on your life, Bud. I may never get another chance.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” he said, turning to face the front again.
“And, now for the Best Song. For bringing such aural beauty to the ears of Sims around the World, this week’s Best Song goes to — are you ready for this? None other than Erik Cantrell, for his, In Our Beginning. Yay, give it up for him! Nineteen Best Songs in a row.” The Host clapped, smiling broadly.
“Many thanks to my family, our friends and fans for the countless encouraging letters, cards and gifts sent to my lovely wife, while she recuperates. As in all things, their arrival was quite timely. I should let you know, she is now home. I didn’t borrow her from the hospital for tonight.”
“Thank you Starlight Academy for nominating my song and for those who voted it number one. To my glorious fans who’ve hung in there with me throughout my turbulent career, the ups and downs of it all. To Taygeta Studios, to Orion Entertainment, Limited for the time off they gave me under the circumstances, by holding off on the concert schedule for several days, despite the release of my latest album, That Temptress, Fate. To the medical staff at Willow Creek Private Clinic for taking such excellent care of my Better half. I could do none of this without any of you. Thank you and good afternoon.”
With that Erik stepped off of the platform. He sat next to Kayleigh and held her icy hand, giving it a squeeze. “Cold?”
“Just nervous.”
“No, worries, you’ve still got me, poor thing, one way or the other.”
“Erik.” She lightly scolded using her Mother voice on him. He just grinned.
“For such riveting writing and storytelling, the Starlight Accolade for Best Book, non-fiction category goes to Kayleigh Cantrell for her best-seller, An Act of Faith.”
Kayleigh’s mouth dropped open. Erik stood up and gave her a big kiss, then led her over to the stage, holding onto her as she stepped up. Nodding, and clapping once he let go of her. He started to sit, but the rest of the audience was back on their feet, so he kept his.
“Guess it’s my turn to be the deer in the headlights. You know my husband makes this look so easy. I’m shaking in my boots, so to speak.”
“Oh, please forgive me, this is just too much.”
Kayleigh fought for composure and finally won. She cleared her throat and then said, “What? Big girls do cry. Not often, but sometimes. I’m just overwhelmed. I mean I hoped, but didn’t expect. Does that make sense?”
“Since I was a kid too many years ago, now, I wanted to write. I even directed my university classes toward that end. I got married right after graduation and then the babies came, boom, boom, and boon. Our ‘second’ child was twins. Somewhere, I managed to sneak in a few words on a page, then a few pages at a time until voila my first book was complete. I started this one while I was in the hospital. The words came so fast it was completed in no time at all. Barely published and nominated almost simultaneously.”
“I am more than honored by this recognition of my work. I was only wanting to share my horrific experience. Ladies, if you get a twinge in your lower right side, that is on and off, along with a bit of a fever, don’t ignore it. Especially, if you’re expecting a baby. I had some oddball aches and pains with my second pregnancy, so I thought this was just more of the same, only different. Big mistake. So, I just needed to write this. As a cautionary tale.”
“Honey, I need my own shelf, please.”
“I’ll get that up as soon as we’re home,” Erik said from the audience. The onlookers laughed again.
“Many thanks to my editor, Charlene Dragon, of SimsindaHouse Publishing for the encouragement and the time she gave me to finish this work. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Oh, and there’s the music, so I’ll end by saying thank you so much to everyone.”
All for now. Thanks for reading!

I think Elena just wanted to come by and see the remodelling my sim self had done to his house!
Harvest '93 arrives!
My sim self decides to host his parents and 7 children. This is also the first time they're seeing their childhood home since the remodel.
My sim self is up early cooking the turkey:
The table is set:
Everyone gathers round the table to enjoy a tasty Harvestfest meal:
Almost everyone. My sim self's youngest Harry and Jessica decided to eat out in the family room:
After dinner, my sim self chills with Harry and Jessica as they live with his first wife Liberty:
Harry had a great time!
Congrats to Peter! Hopefully he gets the honor of placing a celebrity tile soon.
Eachann's a boy, but yeah, it's really cute! (Unless you mean Amy Lyles...in that case, it's also cute.) My sister's cat Willow has a toy she absolutely loves to bits.
Oh , the Plumhead .. hehe i referred from old times when censor bot here replaced all it did not liked with word "Plum"
@GalacticGal , congrats to Kayleigh, you need that second set of selves now indeed!
Good rest does wonders!
Spices she bought last night.
How the bunny got the chocolatemilk it gave Lisa, I would like to know...
All fine for a tiny moment!
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 Proper sleep has such healing power. Lisa is looking much better than she has. That is an odd gift to receive from a bunny. Your pictures of Henford are gorgeous.🥰

It's all good!
@GalacticGal,
Well done, Kayleigh!
I've got the venues I need for the next chapter of Tartosan Sun. I created a little office for Meghan, one of Danielle's potential agents.
Now the other venue is one I downloaded. It's called Rise & Grind and is the work of Littledica and some of the best cc creators around. Ravasheen, Syboulette, Luddysimmer, and more. This café is amazing! I always find something with every lot that I download that I want to change. Not this time. I cannot think of a single thing I would want to change or swap. By the time it appears in this chapter it will have replaced Waterside Warble. You should check this out...😲

@DaniRose2143 Tee-hee! Be careful, you (are getting to) know me, the Church of Cheddar might not be as golden as it seems at first taste! XP I mean... remember the Grilled Cheese aspiration? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* (Also, thank youuuu.
@Ellupelluellu Thank you. Finally Kayleigh is pursuing her dreams.
@DaniRose2143 Your office is amazing. I agree that the Rise & Grind is a work of Art.
