Name: Hokulani Kalua Backstory: Hokulani excelled in drama club at Sulani High School, and after she graduated, she decided to leave the relaxed atmosphere of her island home behind for life in the fast lane in Del Sol Valley. Before she left Sulani, she bragged to all her friends and neighbors that soon she would be…

I second the werewolves idea. More after-school activities for kids and teens. Also, if and when we get a University pack, doing well at after-school activities as well as getting good grades would increase the chances of a college-bound Sim receiving scholarships and/or financial aid. On the topic of school, I wouldn't…

I appreciate the feedback, @rosemow ! I've been busy moving house, so unfortunately I haven't had much time to play Sims over the past few weeks. (Moving house is so much easier in Sims than it is in real life.) However, after the August 16th patch cleared up the blurry screenshots problem, I was able to take screenshots…
-
Thanks, @rosemow I have been doing more building lately, but ever since the July 31st patch I've been dealing with the blurry screenshots bug :( So since I can't get decent screenshots of my newer builds right now, I think I'll share some screenshots from older builds instead. I did this build in May of last year. I was…

I've been testing the needs issue with different Sim households, and even in different save files, and it's still happening. But I think I've tested it thoroughly enough that I have a decent idea of what's wrong. If some of the Sims in my household are at work or at school and I still have Sims in my household that I'm…

Somebody call the drama llamas! :smiley: (Now that I think of it, I've never heard anyone use the phrase "drama llamas" in the context of Sims drama before. Which is kind of weird, considering that llamas are such an inside joke thing for the Sims series.)
-
@citysimmer Thanks! When I first started writing this I was worried that readers wouldn't like Katie's personality because she's pretty much a straight-arrow good girl, and I thought people might find that boring.
-
Thank you! :smile: I took a brief break from playing through the save file for my story blog in the middle of last week because I felt like doing some building, although I wound up renovating existing structures more than I actually built new ones. I did most of my renovating in Brindleton Bay, and one of the things I…
-
Thank you. It was actually a holiday (Night on the Town) when my Astronaut Sim came home from work early, so I'm sure I had that same bug. I still don't know what was up with his needs not refilling while he was at work at the same time that I was playing as the Scientist at his active career, though.
-
I had that same bug. At this point I pretty much have all the Sims 4 content except for MFPS, and I don't use mods or CC. It was the Night on the Town holiday and I was playing with two Sims, an Astronaut and a Scientist. The Astronaut went off to work, and I decided to follow the Scientist to his active career, and as…

For the record, I have actually been updating my blog as regularly as I can, even though I haven't edited the OP for this thread in a while to include links to all my new blog posts. So if you are following the story mainly through this thread, here are chapters 6-10 of Space Case, all in one fell swoop.
-
I can't believe it's been two months since the last time I updated this thread. Sorry. @rosemow , thank you for your support, as always :) I've been focusing a lot on my story blog when playing Sims 4 lately, which means I haven't been doing much building. So I thought I'd share one of my older builds. I did this one in…
-
I hope nobody minds if I bump my own thread, since this story is starting to get interesting if I do say so myself.
-
This reminds me of how I used to play TS3 -- making my Simself and another Sim who looked a lot like whoever was my celebrity crush at the time, getting them married and starting a family.
-
In most of my save files, I make at least one Sim expressly for the purpose of being the "bad guy" (or girl). I give my "bad guy" Sims at least one negative Trait like Mean or Evil, and/or I give them chaos-causing or relationship-breaking Aspirations like Chief of Mischief or Serial Romantic, and their entire job in the…

Random Sims karma at its finest: One time I was playing as June Kay and Andre DaSilva, and they had gotten married and were living in Willow Creek with their son Shaquille Kay-DaSilva. June and Andre became friends with a random townie named Ashaya Savalani, and the random townie generator had just so happened to bequeath…
-
Thanks again, @rosemow -- I always look forward to seeing your comments. Even though I did this build earlier this month, I guess it's appropriate to share today, since we now know that seasons will soon be a thing in TS4. Back when Brindleton Bay was first announced as the new world in C&D, I was pretty excited because…
-
@TheDismalSimmer Nice job saying "Blaze_Bard's Builds" three times fast! Have a cookie! *reaches across the internets and offers an imaginary cookie* Also, thanks to you and to @rosemow for your kind words. I'm almost done with grad school, and not long ago I bought Cool Kitchen Stuff as an early graduation present for…
-
Hi @SimGuruKate ! I follow you on Twitter and I've replied to a couple of your Get To Know Sim tweets. Congratulations on the new job, and I look forward to seeing what's next for The Sims 4! :)
-
Thanks, everyone, for sharing all these cool ideas. I guess I didn't really do a good job of specifying exactly what I was thinking. I was pondering about what other features might potentially go in an EP that also delivered weather/seasons mechanics. Even in TS4, where the packs tend to be more focused on specific themes…
-
Sorry I haven't been around in a few months; grad school has been kicking my pants lately. I have been able to play Sims a little bit in between assignments, and I've done a few builds. I finished this build in late March. It's a bohemian-style beach cabin in Brindleton Bay. I was actually intentionally following a concept…
-
I have to say, being involved in the Sims fandom hasn't really been easy these past couple of months. I mean, trolls have always been a pain, and so have those Simmers who are always whining "I want [insert type of content here] exactly the way I want it, and I want it NOW!" But this information drought seems to have made…
-
Thank you, @rosemow, @AvieLeague and @KittenAntlers! I put a lot of work into making the exterior look like a shoe, so I'm glad it turned out well. And honestly, when I was looking over that build right after I finished it, even I had to admit that I had gone kind of overboard with the cuteness. :smile: Anyway, lately my…
-
If all else fails, I hope it won't be too hard to make a Sim look like a Selvadoradian in CAS.
-
I only had time to read the first few chapters right now, but this looks like it's shaping up to be a fun story. When I tell stories in Sims games, I also like to come up with a rough outline and then let the game fill in the blanks from there -- sometimes I get good ideas for story tangents from something random that…
-
Thanks for the kind words, @AvieLeague and @rosemow! Over the past couple weeks, in between homework, packing for an upcoming trip, and trying to get some new art projects off the ground, I've been working on a Seven Toddler Challenge based on the old nursery rhyme "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so…
-
@rosemow Thank you :smile: I guess it's pretty good timing that I recently finished renovating the build I just posted screenshots of -- I call both versions Modern Classic. This renovated Modern Classic is on a bigger lot, so it has space for a fenced-in backyard. Here are the top two floors, seen from the back. I wanted…
-
All your builds look pretty classy, but your restaurant certainly has a different vibe from your vampire castles, and personally I like to see my fellow Simmers trying new things :smile: Your restaurant still has a bit of a mysterious aura about it -- especially because of the dark forest wallpaper -- but it's also very…
-
7 out of 10 on the quiz. Oh well, at least I wash my clothes more often than my brother washes his! :D
-
@rosemow and @ParadoxSims, thank you both for your kind words! :) The Domus Familiaris renovation is the newest build I've done so far, so I guess I'll go back to posting screenshots from older builds. This is one I did last April. At the time, I was still trying to improve my building skills, so I started watching…
Howdy, Stranger!
