@luciusstorm I'm loving your story! Probably not going to comment on every update, but avidly reading and hitting the awesome button!
@GalacticGal Oh the loss of the cow is so sad, and yet the gain of the llama is so happy. I hope the new cow and the llama are loved by the family.
@Metior_Ice Your game is throwing a lot of random at you lately! Good luck with the child aspect. BTW, do you know if the turtle hatching event is on any kind of schedule? I seem to get notifications when I'm playing almost any household besides the one that cleaned up the island. If they have a regular schedule after a certain point I could maybe arrange my rotation so that my conservationists could attend. I just assume you're the resident expert on Sulani.
@GirafHuntr Thank you for the advice! I have decided to leave the little one's look as it is, but I think I will wait a few more days to introduce werewolves. It occurred to me that once the HSY patch drops I'll have to not play my main save until MCCC is update (Because I use custom lifespans) so I will then be playing another save where werewolves might just be perfect... so I'm going to play the spellcaster week before the update and the other save with werewolves added after. Then I'll come back and add werewolves to my main save once MCCC is updated.
Also, duels sound like a fine way to spice up the relationship! Fun update.
“Sea turtle eggs usually hatch between June and September”
They are surprisingly accurate to real life with the timing for sea turtles hatching. Maybe, they took into account the lunar cycle too. Sea Turtles hatch and lay eggs according to the tides and lunar cycle.
In real life, I grew up close to the ocean. And I’ve actually seen sea turtles returning to the sea at night. A lot of people don’t know this, but sea turtles use the light of the moon to guide them. People living on the coast are required to use blackout curtains during sea turtle hatching season because they will go in the wrong direction if they see the light from a house window. Even adult sea turtles are sensitive to the light from homes.
The moon plays a huge role in the ocean tides and marine life behaviors. If my memory serves me, the new moon tends to be when sea turtles lay eggs and hatch.
—————
Game wise, I only know that the seasons play a part when the event happens.
I haven’t noticed anything with the lunar cycle.
I mean, only 2 species of sea turtles hatch during the day.
I’m actually surprised that they didn’t do more with merfolk when they updated the lunar cycle into the game considering how significant the moon is to the ocean.

13 of them are yes(Everlyn is the first), 6 aren't(had twins today so the image doesn't reflect that). I sped through toddler/child stages because if they turn out odd when a teen I have to delete them and start over.
The light hair colored members on the far right are human + 2 not shown.
There was one death already but I reloaded the save to save them lol. Death via Murphy Bed.
@Mightysprite Lol I thought sims would have a relaxing time at the spas, maybe the wellness skills are too low. P993 Ooof Adeline got poop and she really loves the holiday too. LMAO Adeline prepping for next year Lol I like Devens hat it suits him Like Adelines new look! Hoping she does well in university!
@GalacticGal Thank you, glad you're enjoying Colette. Her trait really makes things funny. P993 Awh I love Eriks kids sitting around playing games, reminds me of me and my siblings LMAO that is hilarious, Eriks stan just coming out of the cow shed Aw the cow is gone RIP least they got a new cow and a llama too Lol I like Erik telling his wife, the sim behind them is a mermaid, and she not believing him Congratulations again to Erik on his winning streak! Amazing! lol love him telling the kids to go to bed
@Daephene P991 Lol Isabella tried for baby with Patchy but it passionate about magic You reminded me that Patchy exists, I've never gotten him to come to life yet. P992 Aw Patchys toddler looks adorable His eyes look good as green
@DaniRose2143 P991 I like Shantel Bridges, she sounds cool
Colette wants to become a member of the law firms board. She worked hard and after a couple of months she moved into an apartment in San Myshuno. There she converted a room into an office space so she could work from home.
Living in an apartment was great, Colette had everything nearby. The only thing she hated was loud neighbors. She’d usually be banging on her neighbors doors to keep quiet. She was thoughtful about her neighbors and never made any noises at night, why can't they do the same? Salim was always the culprit!(After his third offence he was evicted:))
Colette spent her evening in the open area outside her apartment. Sims were playing the guitar and creating some art.
Thank you for the shout out about Erik.

Thank you very much. I think she's going to a great addition to the cast.
And speaking of the cast of UTTS, there are two new additions, Lewis and Ebony Huntley! Yes, Londyn's parents are here. I couldn't resist adding them, and I had been kicking myself for not having parents for all the cast. Bringing in Londyn's parents at this point is easy even though the backstory involves a painful subject that is all too real. Since Londyn's backstory was she had known since she was a teenager that she was a lesbian, mom and dad disapproved and shunned her. They see the error of their ways and are ready to mend fences and support their daughter unconditionally. Here they are Lewis and Ebony...
Normally this would be where I say: "It's obvious where Londyn gets her looks". Except we're in that weird Sims twilight zone where mom gets her looks from her child. <theme music from the twilight zone here>
Dad got his looks from his daughter too...until I hit the randomize button a few times until I got a sim I liked to work with.😁
Eventually when I move the family over I will replace Cordelia's Secret Cottage with a fresh copy of the original lot.
This is Dirk Dreamer and his date Tammy on their first date at the lounge, before they could even get upstairs two sims approach them, this sad sim walked up to my sim Tammy and started talking to her telling her some sad story, Tammy and Dirk don't know him or the bartender who came from behind the bar and walked downstairs to hear the sad story he was trying to tell Tammy
Dirk face say it all also because his looking puzzled by the bartender coming downstairs to hear the sad story because him and Tammy don't know her also.
Finally, both of my sims were able to enjoy their date without all the crazy stuff that started in the beginning
Annabel was another female sim that had a crush on Dirk in my game, she showed up at the Lounge in the middle of his date and sat across from Dirk and his date, when I had Dirk and Tammy go downstairs away from the crazy stuff in the lounge, she came outside looking sad looking at him on his date with Tammy.
Dirk and Annabel never had a romance bar, she a cook from the college kitchen and while he and his dad would be study, they would talk to her, and she was invited to a few of the dorm's parties and like his other friends she would come over to his house and hang out with him and dad.
I feel dirk moved on because there was nothing happening between him and Lilith anymore, her conversation with him is very little. (Also, this is not the sims 2 so their relationship is never going to be the same unless players force it.)
Also, Lilith have a crush on another one of my sims in my game who is nothing like Dirk and she became really upset when he was talking to someone else at the dorm, just a conversation with this sim and nothing else, she returns back to the dorm unhappy about it.
Chapter 40 - Pain and Choice
After a difficult and painful journey, the teens had arrived.
Chapter 41 - To Stand the Watch
The following day seemed a little brighter. Beth and Jake had howled out their grief and Miranda's emotional storm was calmed. Also, there was french toast in the kitchen.
"When do your moms sleep?" Beth wondered.
"I don't think they do, unless they want to," Miranda admitted. "When I was little, I didn't even know that was strange."
I have at least one more Chapter in draft, which I may post later today or tomorrow. Given my mods, I'm not sure when I'll be able to play more. Might depend on how long it takes the fallout from the update to clear. We shall see.
Anyway, gonna introduce some of them.
Vincent
Ben
Paddra and Emilia
Laura and Everlyn. Laura was the officiant and Everlyn was the Sim of Honor(since she's Camilla's mother)
Other members and Brenda's(black hair with pony tail) paparazzi slowly coming in to ruin everything. Current sim is Camilla(under the plumbob)
Camilla and her wife decide to enjoy the rest of the ceremony by hanging with their kids, while all the havoc is occurring at the alter.

P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
I've been hit by the terrain paint issue (I have been told that it is an older, already known issue) as well as the aging up bug. 😓
Now not sure what to do...I'm torn between starting a new fresh save, as the current save was ready showing signs it's getting old even only being a little over a month. Or not playing the game until there is a fix. 🙆🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
A few weeks ago I began a save where Morgan Fyres was a teenage runaway. She began with literally nothing, digging minerals and fishing for food from the start. Once her needs sank, though, she wasn't able to do that anymore, and she spent most of her time trying to fulfill her needs at different lots. The best ones were the gym, the tavern in Henford on Bagley, and one of her friend's houses. Said friend would go to work and not bother her for sleeping or showering. Morgan was able to poach drinks and food in the tavern, and was working on getting odd jobs when she got lucky. One of her friends invited her to the Jokers versus Pranksters event, and with the loot from winning ($500, plus a microphone and fireworks to be sold) she was able to buy a tent and finally start making a little progress. Being able to spend more time fishing meant that she was bringing in loot from the river ($2000 just from voodoo dolls), and soon she was able to build a little cabin.
Morgan has a house!
Enter....the second part of this story, which I'm afraid to say does not have a happy ending. Her friend Allison, who had the house she occasionally slept in, is a lovely French woman who works as a cook but is more focused on nurturing The Good Life for her and her friends. She frequently hosts brunches and evening dance parties, and she often has people living in her home temporarily because they needed a place to stay. Such was the case with Luna Villareal, and Allison decided -- since Luna and Morgan were both teens -- why don't they try living together? With Luna matching Morgan's funds, the cabin expanded, and it looked downright comfortable.
When Morgan was celebrating the cabin, she invited all of her friends over one Christmas day. Unfortunately, it was rather cold out, and Mortimer Goth froze to death. His ghost has been hanging around, and one evening Cassandra Goth happened to notice him. She asked Morgan and Luna if she could join them, provided she brought a couple of thousand into the house with her. They were agreeable. Then something...odd happened. Despite the fact that they were inside, and with a heater, all three girls simultaneously froze over.
Fortunately I'd moved in Mortimer-as-ghost by this point, and he was able to save Cassandra and Morgan, but not Luna. But then Morgan died again, and after a day or so Cassandra died again! Mortimer vowed to find a way to defeat death (although he also has a crush on Death, so it's a bit of a love-hate thing), and he and Cassandra have floated off to a so-called vampiric hollow to see if answers can be found there. Meanwhile, ghost-Luna and ghost-Morgan are simultaneously complaining about freezing to death and the sweltering heat.
Morgan happily sings "Jingle Bells" while everyone else bawls their eyes out.
The ghosts keep threatening to be frozen to death.
My current plan is for Cassandra to see if she can become a spellcaster despite being a ghost, and then master the skills to bring everyone back to life. Mortimer will have to find another wife, though, since Bella called him and asked if he thought it was a good idea if she went on a date with Catarina Lynx. Not cool, Bella.
What am I supposed to do with this, Mortimer? Turn you into a serial killer so you can date Grim? You think you're Jim Pickens all of a sudden?
I believe his drained with his father always being around maybe, something happened between them while Dirk wife was at work that make him feel hurt when his father is around him and now that hurt is causing him to become very upset when his father is around.
Upload your family to your My Library on the Gallery. And start a new save. If they have items you wish to keep, place them into the lot and upload the lot, needless to say, do this first after you empty your Sims personal Inventories into the lot. Also move anything from the family inventory into the lot. It's a bit of work, but it can save you a heartache, later. You should be able to download it, stuff and all into the new save. Best of luck. I've lost many a save from Patches and this one was massive. I feel your pain.
