@SimCave Hello! I've set them in Willow Creek @Everyone Ya'll I think Harrison might be the best looking sim I've ever seen. If he ends up an old bachelor like his aunt and uncle, I might cry xD
@everyone Happy Thanksgiving! I want you all to know I'm very thankful for all of you. I love this thread and I have loved getting to know you over the last few years. Here's to many more years of having fun with our game and our threads and making friends. I love all of you
@JordanNicoleJJ I love the build your boyfriend did! Very inspired! Also a little scary...makes me wish we could paint the ceilings! Couldn't we do that in Sims3?
OH no...as I still haven't been playing the sims, I have no idea what's happening in that picture but it does not look good! Oh my gosh! haha that panic...no one is pregnant right? Oh I thought it was about to turn bad but then he proposed! So sweet!!! I love it. Awww I'm so excited they graduated! There house is adorable! I love you get degrees to hang on the wall! I love how it's decorated so far and I love that they threw a house party. Hehehe surprise parents! They should love both of them!!!
@Kiwicantdie I do the same thing! I can't tell you how many cakes I have had my sims almost immediately toss! The picture of Clara on the floor with her big brother Rory watching over her is adorable. (I'm glad your a Doctor Who fan too not sure why it matters but it makes me happy!) Awww Irene...she always makes me feel just a little sad! I love the kids' rooms. I just spent about 5 minutes scrolling up and down to look at them. Emilia's room is very interesting. That's so odd that your kids are going to school in their pajamas. Congrats though on all the aspiration completions! I love the acting gigs so much and I am so happy they finally didn't dye her hair! Selene is such a good celebrity Aww Ridge and Aurora were so sweet. I love them. Awwww! Look how smooth Rory is being with Violet! Oh yikes...the look on Jody's face does not match the yummy goody she has in her hand! Oh no kids fighting! So funny! Oh the birthday party...It was sweet to see Mathias giving his girl one last push before she became a teen AND SHE'S SO PRETTY! Wow! 3 star celebrity already? Amazing! Clara aged up so cute! I love her too and yes I have agree woohoo with a full house is the best!
@Francisca464 Awww! I like your boyfriend's "beach" house!!
@OJenn Now that you mention it, it does have a GoT vibe! We're big GoT fans too Virginia was ALWAYS sick when they were at uni (so relatable though, I was too) Thank you! I'm going to use real houses and floor plans for inspiration during this challenge, so hopefully ya'll will start to see improvement in my building skills!
@SimCave Thank you! I'm really enjoying the house so far. And who knows...you might not be wrong about that 'surprise'
@carlimact I can't wait to see him!! I always want attractive townies in my game if you want to put him on the gallery
@debjameswhite Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! I'm so thankful for this challenge as well - it has provided years of entertainment & friendship AND kept my love of Sims alive, and for that, I'm eternally grateful I don't remember if we could paint the ceiling in ts3, but to be fair I didn't play it as much and building was waaay harder so I mostly used premade houses.
Update
We left off with Will & Virginia moving to Willow Creek and throwing a house party to celebrate. Now it's time to meet the family and announce their engagement!
First up: Virginia's mom, Clarice Darling, and her chubby cat Dragon.
Virginia couldn't wait to see her childhood cat again. Now we know why Dragon's so chubby
And Clarice couldn't wait to meet Will! "So you're the handsome man I've heard so much about!"
It took all of about 2 seconds for Will to win her over, and she was even more happy to learn they set a wedding date. The engagement announcement was off to a great start!
Next up: Will's parents, Harold and Lauren Grayson, and their old schnauzer Scottie.
It didn't go quite so smoothly at Grayson Manor...
Will: "Mom, Dad, we have something to tell you. We're engaged!"
Lauren: "Well...that's....sudden. Is she pregnant?"
Will: "Mom! Alright, we're done here. The wedding is on Sunday, see you then."
The wedding day came, and all of their friends and family gathered for a small park wedding.
The ceremony was short and simple, yet beautiful.
Everyone enjoyed cake (made by the bride herself!) and drinks in the little reception area after. The newlyweds spent a lot of time with Clarice, who couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the wedding was, how excited she is to have a son in-law, and future babies of course...
I couldn't help but notice these love birds flirting all day. I ship it so hard
I don't know if it's because the wedding was at a park or what, but we had a LOT of wedding crashers... They invited seven guests and ended up with eleven
Will and Virginia didn't mind - they were in their own little world of love
Of course Lauren had other opinions on the whole ordeal though.
Lauren: "An outdoor wedding - I'm sure that was Virginia's idea, wasn't it? It's a little...rustic, don't you think? And who are all of these people?? This is why you get married in a church - with security!"
Will: "Mom, would you just have a drink and enjoy yourself for once?"
After the wedding, life went back to their usual routine of work, woohoo, sleep, repeat. Virginia is so adorable in all of her teacher outfits
She really cares about her kids' educations, to the point of failing a celeb student who just wasn't ready to move on. Will also cares about his clients more than his reputation, and he proved it when he revealed some family secrets rather than throwing a case. It did make him the talk of the town for a week or so, but his dad wasn't very happy about it He's totally not trying to get fired and find a job he really likes.
They're both doing well in their careers, but Will really seems to hate his. He comes home stressed every day, poor guy
Virginia organized a big Love Day date to try to cheer him up. They went to the Spice Festival in the big city!
They were both out of their element, but they had fun seeing the sights and trying new things. I've really gotta get these two out more
Virginia wasn't particularly good at blowing bubbles insert keg stand flashbacks from the grad party...
...but it was a fun date nonetheless. They ate some super spicy food, listened to street performers (they totally tipped the Britechester student - tuition ain't cheap lol), and flirted it up all night. It was perfect
The next morning wasn't quite as fun for Virginia - she woke up feeling sick to her stomach At first she thought it was the spicy food not settling right, but then she thought maybe it was something else...
Will suggested they get some fresh air, it might help settle her stomach, so they rode their bikes down to the park.
That's where she told him the truth: "We're pregnant!!"
Will couldn't have been happier Here's to the next adventure - parenthood!
I'm just gonna answer a quick comment before we get down to the update @JordanNicoleJJ Harrison isn't quite a young adult yet but is still handsome! I'll add him to the gallery when he has his birthday though!
Rebuilding Chapter 35: Thor is always dirty and no one knows why
Or the one where I wouldn't stop until Zaid became a teen
@JordanNicoleJJ So excited for the baby! -throws confetti- @SimCave The house is infested I swear. It works for Pablo most of the time so everyone gets tea now. I was surprised to see more Pablo than Malia when he aged up. He's a cutie though.
Okay, I'm two days deep into content and my eyes burn, but I HAVE to share this one: super cute maxis match toddler pjs by WildlyMiniatureSandwiches! This whole stressful cc hunt was worth it just for that
I'm finally starting to think about playing again. Pneumonia is tough! It's still kicking my butt but I'm starting to have more energy. Definitely took advantage of the rest I'm getting this week from the long holiday and we got a snow day today so that was nice. I was even able to cook my turkey although I did all the shopping the day before! The update below is just the pictures that were in my folder before I stopped caring about everything
@JordanNicoleJJ Time for your proper comments! I love Virginia's Mom with her cat! LOVE. At first glance I thought she was my founder from Brindleton Bay! They just have the same hair though. I love that she's so loving and showered it on Will right away. Mom goals Then Harold and Lauren and their pup. Well, they're doing their best. I LOVE the picture of them all sitting together on the couches. Way to make it sound even better Will. "Wedding on Sunday." hehehehe The park was so pretty!!! Will looked so good with his hair combed back and the Virginia of course was beautiful! I love the look on Lauren's face when she's complaining about the wedding and Will with his little grin. You can tell he's a good boy. I love her teacher clothes! I didn't know there were new professions! I am happy! Poor Will though. Look how stressed he is! Their date night was perfect. I love them. I'm so happy nooboos are on the way! Hopefully they won't care about what MOM thinks!!!
Okay, I'm two days deep into content and my eyes burn, but I HAVE to share this one: super cute maxis match toddler pjs by WildlyMiniatureSandwiches! This whole stressful cc hunt was worth it just for that
I didn't use cc clothing. Until now. You have corrupted me to the dark side.
@debjameswhite Yay pregnant! Serena is adorable. I like her red hair. I want that nursery! Its goreous. HAHA I'd leave to have a home birth too. Ghost doctor deliver my baby?! Nooo thanks. Yay for Adeline! I love her infant outfit. And yes, I'm in love with your nursery. I wish I could decorate as nicely. I'll work on it. lol Lawrence is a typical male. Stinky toddler to save the day. Or not. lol Giggles, that's adorable. Poor kid. Nothing bad here, nope. I think he's a bit skeptical. That face is priceless. Another nooboo on the way! I love your update!
@ Everyone I haven't played my Families in a while. I should today. We are snowed in. I might put the Lion family on hold and concentrate on the Lambs (favorite) for a bit. Last I remember she's pregnant and will still be going to University, whether the kid-hating hubby likes it or not.
I'll be back for comments when this cc hunt is over, but I've been popping in and out to read posts/comments and I'm having the same issue @debjameswhite - chrome threw up a 'dangerous website' warning and I had to manually override it. Do you use google chrome too? Maybe chrome's having issues
Hi all, I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Sorry I have been MIA. Work has been busy. I can't wait to take a vacation. Nothing new in my world just working and peeking in to read comments and posts.
Okay now for a few comments.
@Francisca464 Fawn as a pirate was cute. Her costar is just jealous of her success. lol Congratulations on her promotion. I agree it is very hard to get everyone to sit down for dinners during any holiday celebration. Awww poor Jace not receiving any good gifts. I guess while showering they woohooed instead of cleaning themselves. They are such a cute couple and I love the new house it is big and gorgeous.
I
@JordanNicoleJJ I was kinda surprised that Si was a little upset because like you said it was kinda his fault.
Awww Will and Virginia are finally a couple. How cute. I didn't even know there were secrete societies in University. I haven't really played the expansion pack yet. It is good that they are both doing well in school. Maybe Virginia needs to start drinking coffee like Will
I think it is cute that your boyfriend built a venue. He did a great job. Congratulations on their graduation. I can't wait to send my kiddies off. Their house is beautiful. I loved the pictures of Will meeting Virginia. Oh wow I didn't expect that from Will's family. How sad. They had such a beautiful wedding. I wish Will was happy with his job. I can't wait to see the new baby.
@Kiwicantdie I love your comment about Si wrapping up his Willy. LMBO Yeah he needs to do that. I always complain about having a huge family but lowkey I like it.
It is nice that Aurora can enjoy her children. I think Ridge is doing a great job with the kids. They are all so adorable. Awww Rory looked so sad, I am glad she has Emillia to spend time with. I love how the family was having so much fun during their spring outing. I am so jealous because RL weather is cold and gray right now. Jody and Rory are such cute kiddos.
@blondiebabe923 You have such a cute family. I love when the family all gets together and helps each other out. Basil is really pretty and Colby is a handsome young sim too.
@debjameswhite It is a bummer that they can't cook in their restaurant. I may change Kia's job. Idk yet.
I am glad you are feeling better. How cute Kelsey and her sister are preggos at the same time. I would have had a home birth too if a ghost doctor showed up. I cracked up at them talking to their little one about the going ons in the bedroom. The look on his face was priceless.
@carlimact Hahaha kids will always ignore chores. I like your little family.
@JordanNicoleJJ Yes! I have Chrome. I hate this because I feel at risk when I'm visiting the site I know should be safe! Chrome or EA please fix this!!!!
@amadazulsim Aww how sweet Scarlet's BFF is also pregnant! I think Scarlet is the first pregnant woman I've ever seen who also had a 6 pack!! I can't help wondering what the Master Vampire wants with her! My favorite thing about snow in the sims are the frosted windows Twins!! haha Woot!! Poor Si! I haven't captured a picture but face planting on the ground? - that has also been Kelsey and Lawrence's life!
Ya'll...I'm so deep in the cc rabbit hole right now, I don't see the end in sight. Most likely two more days at minimum before I have it all sorted. Please convince me I don't need build/buy cc, because that'll add another day or two. There's just SO MUCH good stuff out there! Today I found a blog that does ts3 to ts4 conversions, and now I have all of my old favorite sims 3 dresses again. I'm so happy I could cry
@JordanNicoleJJ I was about to tell you why you didn't want cc per your request but then you wrote that you're so happy you could cry and I could no longer bring myself to do it! hehehe
Ciao a tutti! I'm back, sorry for disappearing for a little while but exams season is officially here for me and I had to organize my studies if I want to survive till the end of February, work my two jobs and have time to play this game at the same time. Anyway--- bless all your updates!
@JordanNicoleJJ ... I'm pretty (like, 100%) sure that the number of roommates appearing on the lot depends on the amount of beds you placed there. If you want like just 3 or 4 roommates, put only 3 or 4 beds besides the one for your sims. You don't have to have 10 roommates if you don't want to. Anyway- what a great graduation party! omg all of the Becca drama, but I mean, it if helped clearing Will's mind then bring it on aaaaaaw the proposal I was not expecting it but it was so cute! In front of all of their friends too I'm so glad you managed to play through university already meanwhile I'm here screaming at the monitor like "GROW. UP. PLEASE." the new colonial house in willow creek is so cute! I'm loving it! The interior is so nicely decorated! the living room is such a fave, but the studio looked amazing too! And the upstair bedroom I'm so glad that Will and Virginia kept in touch with all of their friends! OMG I'm so glad you created their whole families! that's such an amazing thing to do! Clarice looks like such an amazing grandma, she's so sweet. Harold and Lauren feel like they're from a different world altogether. I'm loving how your founders backstories seem to clash, yet coming together for the wedding. Virginia looks soooo good in her wedding dress! and yay for an outdoor wedding at the park! the weather was beautiful for such a lovely day. I'm so happy for Virginia and Will even if Will's mama seemed in the mood for ruining the ceremony. AaaaAAW YES A PREGNANCY! I'm so hyped to see their little nooboo, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this and- YAAAAAS JOIN THE DARK CC SIDE YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT
@OJenn R.I.P. chocolate cakes all around the world (-- why do I always end up with sims cloning themselves???)
@SimCave I'm so excited for Violet and Rory being together in the near future and they're still kiddos I guess I'll have to lower the settings to short life span
@debjameswhite happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you too! I hope you're feeling well hang in there and try to rest as much as possible! I'm sending lots of virtual hugs I'm super happy I also had a chance to (re)find this thread and getting to know you and your simming stories. It's always so much fun in here I hope I'll always have time for a little TS4&Forum -- to your update: I just want to mention how sweet the pic of Lawrence and Kelsey hugging outside of the hospital is! it really melted my heart. It's kind of a bummer that you're having the hospital overrun by ghosts but oh well, I'll just guess that's how it works in the sims world Welcome little Adeline! lol Lawrence panicking for his kid farting is one of the best things ever. That's me, actually. Me every time I babysit "that sounded wrong, little Jo, did you just poop in your pants???" anyway your fam is adorable and I've missed them a lot I hope you'll be feeling better for the holidays
@carlimact Harrison's mood is one of the best things I've seen in a while, I swear Zaid grew up into such a cool mix of his parents!
@amadazulsim Pregnant!Kia is the cutest and that's coming from one that had so many pregnancies in game lately that I almost wanted to throw the pc out of the window oh MY GOD it's twins! It's a curse! they look identical, which is super precious, but--- good luck handling the family
First thing I see as I open the game after a week is sorcerers taking over Willow Creek. Nice. That's the most random thing I've seen happening, I swear.
Anyway, back to the Austins. Considering that the kids are going to age up soon, I've been making them work extra hard on their homework and projects to grind good grades and skills. They all work at them together, Ridge included.
I'm obviously doing all of this for Rory, since he's the heir, but sometimes he's the biggest meanie to Emilia for reasons that remain unknown to me. Must be the mean phase.
E: "You should at least show some appreciation for the time that I'm wasting helping you finish all of these projects!"
R: "As if I need any help with them. I'm the genius one, remember?" fly down, boy
Being the teen that she is, Emilia's already dealing with 21893727654 different phases of her own. Sometimes she gets hurt over a couple of harsh words and has to jump in the pool to cry over them. You know where she got all of this drama from *eyeroll* ammaright, Selene?
And speaking about drama & fame, I'm set on not having another superstar in game for a while, as long as none of my potential heirs get the aspiration. 'cause that's what I have to deal with on a daily basis: I'm ok with fans creeping outside the house, but sneaking inside from the backyard and entering the kids room... that's a no for me. Go, Aurora! Take her out!
One of the following days, I was super happy to see that one of Ridge kids decided to call him to hang out at the fastivals. She was also super pretty!
I immediately took the chance to send all of the fam at San Myshuno, but the girl was nowhere in sight ... I had hoped to have the kids get to know one another, but... oh well. She must have decided that she no longer cared about her cheater-dad. Overall, it was still a nice sunny day.
I was also hoping for the kids to geek out, especially Rory and his genius trait, but the huge geekcon tv had the priority. Also: yes. They're still going around in their pajamas 24/7. They just never want to dress up
Of course the day ended with a "special" karaoke night project karaoke 2.0
Back at home, I'm basically able to get 2 monsters under the bed at night. They just can't let the kiddos sleep in peace. Rory's the only one that loves hanging out with his monster. He even plays with it!
... can't say the same for the others
If the adults fail at sending the monsters away, at least the kids have Emilia on their side.
Speaking about Emilia, she's been spending much more time with mama Selene now that she's all grown up. Selene loves that her daughter's no longer a tiny & whiny kid, so she has decided to start tutoring her and preparing her acting skills. For the blonde clone, it's all worth it.
Jody, Rory and Clara kept on going to school in their pajamas...
They've also found a new club for kids so that they can do their homework together and have some fun at the same time. Rory invited all of his new friends.
... some of them are just... problematic to have around, to say the least
Ridge can barely parent his own kids, so I really didn't have the will to parent somebody else's kid.
R:"Mess with the carpet one more time and I'll kick you out of the house, young man."
Not sure whether I've already mentioned it or not, but I'm officially set on sending Rory to Foxbury. He's such a brilliant little sim that I can't wait to have him play around with robotics. He'll probably become an engineer once he's all grown up. For the time being, all he has going on are school projects and the... future cube thingie???
-welp. Just the school projects, then
The first day of summer, I couldn't keep the fam at home and I rushed to get them back at the park. Maybe one day I'll get tired of this place
Emilia found a few fans, so she had to sign some autographs. Dad Mathias couldn't leave her side. He was set on freelancing as her bodyguard.
Not far away, Rory found his friends and club members. Violet rushed over there as soon as she spotted him playing.
I'm pretty sure they both have a huge crush on one another, but they're super young and totally oblivious
When she looks at him, he's always looking the other way, and as soon as she turns around, he can't but peek *facepalm*- it went on all afternoon, not even kidding.
They're all becoming such good friends and I'm loving it.
*cluelessness intensifies* see???? they're so adorable send help I just want them to grow up already
They decided to stay out till super late, way beyond the curfew.
Selene tried to warn them, but I refused to send them home. There was Mathias with them, after all. Best babysitter ever.
... or at least I thought so -- I guess it's best if Selene doesn't know what the heck he was doing
Speaking about Mathias: a shocking surprise! - I don't even know how to explain this.
Anyway, the kids lived their best summer ever. I guess that's how it goes when you're born into the richest family in town.
I got kinda tired about having them stuck inside the house, tho. After focusing so much on the younger generation, I realized way too late that Aurora, Selene and Irene were about to turn into elders ... the day before their last birthday, I decided to change things a little. The kiddos were already living inside their swimsuits, so at least they were prepared
Off to Sulani! the last grand vacation before the triplets get all wrinkly and old. I got such an awesome sunny day in Sulani that I couldn't but feel blessed. I couldn't control myself and I took way too many pics - it's picspam time!
*that awkward moment when you see your fave teen celebrity and you can't but faint underwater*
Selene knew about the wedding but decided to call Mathias anyway. Of course, he couldn't but come and enjoy the water with his best side (????????) girl.
Somebody forgot to apply sunscreen!
... and about love matters... Emilia eyed a super good looking teen at the beach. I was so surprised, considering that he's a townie.
He gave me such super hot kpop idol vibes that I couldn't resist not even Emilia.
She soon learned that he's Leonardo Munch. And that he, too, was sorta into her.
Some clumsy teen flirtin' with the sunset
He disappeared almost instantly, tho, and as soon as he did Emilia realized that she had fallen for a guy that lived soooooooooo far away.
Meanwhile, the Austin girls enjoyed their last night as adults with their fans, taking selfies and signing autographs. @debjameswhite look who's over there! It's Drew! I've been looking for her everywhere in game but I could never find her. She finally appeared in Sulani!
The selfie was a must!
For the second (and maybe last) time, nobody minded the curfew. And I mean, how could they?
I'll just end this looooooooooong and spammy update with this final trick that MCCC played on me.
I mean- they're all part of the family tree. Look at this mess.
LOOK. AT. THIS. MESS.

@JordanNicoleJJ Harrison isn't quite a young adult yet but is still handsome! I'll add him to the gallery when he has his birthday though!
Zaid continues to be a strange child as he watches the weather channel
Nicholas really doesn’t want to clean more dishes
Maya really needs to take a shower but seems to have convinced Zaid that she just farted instead
Nicholas is the only one that does any chores around here
Once again, Thor is a dirty dog.
Please stay clean
Meanwhile, Pablo is cleaning the sink again
The boys were fighting and Malia was ready to send the instigator, Zaid, to his room
Pablo and Maya are now besties and I love it
Nicholas might be my favourite child
Harrison is in a MOOD
Literally no one cares
Thor is a sad boy and Nicholas isn’t about to let that slide
“You’re a good boy, Thor”
Nicholas decided to leave the chaos and spend his time at the drawing table
Maya does her best to ignore her parents’ flirting
Harrison is working through his mood swing with video games
As much as I appreciated Zaid doing the dishes, I feel the bathroom is not the best choice
“Hmm..maybe I’ll make that for dinner tonight”
Pablo swore by the tea method
Nicholas came along to tease his sister about her apparent crush. Maya chose to ignore him
His teasing went no where as Maya just smirked at him
They eventually made up
Harrison was trying to get his game on but Nicholas just wanted to chat
Nicholas silently judged his brother and his cooking skills
He figured some ramen would be safe
Harrison found himself always walking the dog (The kids can’t do this. I mean WHAT)
Pablo really wanted that promotion. Three books later and still nothing…
Pablo wasn’t the best cook in the world but he did his best when his wife was at work
He was proud of his salad
However, Zaid had yet to be convinced
Malia returned home, ready to pass out
Maya, may or may not, have gotten whatever sickness is in this house
Pablo and Maya seem to both be suffering from the same illness. He offers his daughter some support (and tea)
Harrison, ever the genius, decided to work out after taking a shower
Pablo spends a quite moment with Thor, avoiding the yells of the children
With Harrison cooking again, Maya worries for everyone’s health
Zaid is actually doing chores for once
After dinner, Zaid enjoyed his mother’s music
THOR HOW
“Malia…I’m sorry”
“It’s ok dear…I was bound to get sick anyway”
“Come on Thor. Bath time!”
Pablo always look distinguished when he left for work
Malia figured Thor deserved a treat
“There you go, Thor!”
He loved it
Harrison, while in a mood, told Maya her face is ugly
She was unmoved
Seriously, Harrison, quit while you’re ahead
ZAID WHY WOULD YOU BETRAY ME IN THIS WAY
“Harrison…I need to use the bathroom”
“One second, Mom! I gotta send this text”
Harrison tries his hand at cooking again while Maya would prefer her popcorn thanks
Meanwhile, Pablo was walking the dog
“What you say boy? Should we go home?”
Harrison has adopted his father’s methods
Thor’s secret career is a therapy dog I swear
“Mom, this tea is gross”
“It’ll make you better, Harrison. Drink up”
Meanwhile, Nicholas fell asleep on the pool float
Thor too needed his beauty sleep
Thor liked attention, however, these two sleep like logs
Poor Harrison is suffering from some serious acne
PABLO DID YOU JUST
Harrison is still suffering
THOR NO
Malia is ANGRY
“Thor! No playing in…puddles”
With Thor cleaned for the upteenth time, the couple shared a quiet moment
Malia had since forgiven Thor and they shared this cute dance
“Pablo..you couldn’t have waited until I was done cooking?”
“I was hungry…”
Nicholas is the example of the odd kid out who needed a shower
Good thing Thor doesn’t care
Harrison tried to voice his complaints about his face to his sister
Maya just teased him instead
Pablo was nominated for an award! Malia hoped he would win
Malia got a promotion! Yay!
Nicholas, my favourite child, will make a mess and then clean it up
Since Zaid ate his own birthday cake, it was up to Malia to make him another
Happy Birthday Zaid!
Zaid looks a bit more like his father than I initially thought
Bonus Shots:
Once again the school was concerned
Malia, who knows a little more about voidcritters than Pablo, thought Articorn was pretty cool
Malia told Harrison to keep at it
So Malia submitted her music for an award…
And she won!
Pablo made some waves too
These kids really want to eat dirt for some reason
Pablo told Nicholas to stay out of it but to be there for his friend instead
The boy has acne, Susan
@JordanNicoleJJ YAY!!! Wedding and baby and yay!! That's all I can say about it. I loved seeing the parents and how they reacted.
@carlimact So much sickness! Tea is the miracle cure? lol Thor is adorable. Zaid seems like a very nice mix of his two parents.
@SimCave The house is infested I swear. It works for Pablo most of the time so everyone gets tea now. I was surprised to see more Pablo than Malia when he aged up. He's a cutie though.
Welcome to the rabbit hole, its where I've been hiding actually

@JordanNicoleJJ Time for your proper comments! I love Virginia's Mom with her cat! LOVE. At first glance I thought she was my founder from Brindleton Bay! They just have the same hair though. I love that she's so loving and showered it on Will right away. Mom goals Then Harold and Lauren and their pup. Well, they're doing their best. I LOVE the picture of them all sitting together on the couches. Way to make it sound even better Will. "Wedding on Sunday." hehehehe The park was so pretty!!! Will looked so good with his hair combed back and the Virginia of course was beautiful! I love the look on Lauren's face when she's complaining about the wedding and Will with his little grin. You can tell he's a good boy. I love her teacher clothes! I didn't know there were new professions! I am happy! Poor Will though. Look how stressed he is! Their date night was perfect. I love them. I'm so happy nooboos are on the way! Hopefully they won't care about what MOM thinks!!!

Chapter 58: Growing the Family
Kelsey lecturing her husband, about what I can’t remember but he was easy going as always.
Then she told him she was pregnant. His expression was disbelief but there was no sad face.
When Kelsey’s sister came over later, we discovered she too was pregnant. This little one in the front is Kelsey’s youngest sister Serena.
Lawrence had another big decision to make at work and he sold the movie rights.
Yes he gave up control of that series but now with his fame he knows the books he’s really wanted to write will be a huge success!
It was almost time for their new arrival so they threw a quick nursery together!
When it was time to go, they met at the hospital.
However, when a ghost doctor showed up (Mom has retired), they decided on an at home birth.
They welcomed a sweet baby girl they called Adeline.
Lawrence is already propositioning his wife!
They were on their way too woohoo fun when he had a panic attack? Is it that stinky diaper on the toddler? That would make me panic about woohoo too!
Nope, it was a slight hiccup but they still made it to the bed chamber!
Unfortunately, someone overheard and Lawrence had to explain to his son that nothing “bad” was happening.
I’m not sure he buys it!
Fortunately, the other one was sound asleep.
They’re seriously like rabbits. Why do I even have risky woohoo? Let’s call it you will definitely get pregnant woohoo. Let’s just be real.
Kelsey plays her violin for the baby. Usually this is a good idea, but today it was not what Adeline wanted!
Such a cute family though.
Of course we still make time for the dog. Just wondering if Lawrence realizes standing on a tablet is not his best idea.
I didn't use cc clothing. Until now. You have corrupted me to the dark side.
@debjameswhite Yay pregnant! Serena is adorable. I like her red hair. I want that nursery! Its goreous. HAHA I'd leave to have a home birth too. Ghost doctor deliver my baby?! Nooo thanks. Yay for Adeline! I love her infant outfit. And yes, I'm in love with your nursery. I wish I could decorate as nicely. I'll work on it. lol Lawrence is a typical male. Stinky toddler to save the day. Or not. lol Giggles, that's adorable. Poor kid. Nothing bad here, nope. I think he's a bit skeptical. That face is priceless. Another nooboo on the way! I love your update!
@ Everyone I haven't played my Families in a while. I should today. We are snowed in. I might put the Lion family on hold and concentrate on the Lambs (favorite) for a bit. Last I remember she's pregnant and will still be going to University, whether the kid-hating hubby likes it or not.
Laura is dealing with morning sickness. Layton is 'working' on his aspiration by playing computer games.
@SimCave Poor Laura! She looks cute though
Sorry I have been MIA. Work has been busy. I can't wait to take a vacation. Nothing new in my world just working and peeking in to read comments and posts.
Okay now for a few comments.
@Francisca464 Fawn as a pirate was cute. Her costar is just jealous of her success. lol Congratulations on her promotion. I agree it is very hard to get everyone to sit down for dinners during any holiday celebration. Awww poor Jace not receiving any good gifts. I guess while showering they woohooed instead of cleaning themselves. They are such a cute couple and I love the new house it is big and gorgeous.
I
@JordanNicoleJJ I was kinda surprised that Si was a little upset because like you said it was kinda his fault.
Awww Will and Virginia are finally a couple. How cute. I didn't even know there were secrete societies in University. I haven't really played the expansion pack yet. It is good that they are both doing well in school. Maybe Virginia needs to start drinking coffee like Will
I think it is cute that your boyfriend built a venue. He did a great job. Congratulations on their graduation. I can't wait to send my kiddies off. Their house is beautiful. I loved the pictures of Will meeting Virginia. Oh wow I didn't expect that from Will's family. How sad. They had such a beautiful wedding. I wish Will was happy with his job. I can't wait to see the new baby.
@Kiwicantdie I love your comment about Si wrapping up his Willy. LMBO Yeah he needs to do that. I always complain about having a huge family but lowkey I like it.
It is nice that Aurora can enjoy her children. I think Ridge is doing a great job with the kids. They are all so adorable. Awww Rory looked so sad, I am glad she has Emillia to spend time with. I love how the family was having so much fun during their spring outing. I am so jealous because RL weather is cold and gray right now. Jody and Rory are such cute kiddos.
@blondiebabe923 You have such a cute family. I love when the family all gets together and helps each other out. Basil is really pretty and Colby is a handsome young sim too.
@debjameswhite It is a bummer that they can't cook in their restaurant. I may change Kia's job. Idk yet.
I am glad you are feeling better. How cute Kelsey and her sister are preggos at the same time. I would have had a home birth too if a ghost doctor showed up. I cracked up at them talking to their little one about the going ons in the bedroom. The look on his face was priceless.
@carlimact Hahaha kids will always ignore chores. I like your little family.
@SimCave Welcome to the cc darkside.
I will entitle this Kia and pregnancy
Kia's best friend Scarlette is pregnant at the same time as her. The two are so happy for each other.
She is trying to stay healthy and in shape during this pregnancy.
She is huge!
Family snow day , fun day.
I love the relationship these to have.
We know what this means.
Twins :0
This is how Si is handling twins
@amadazulsim Aww how sweet Scarlet's BFF is also pregnant! I think Scarlet is the first pregnant woman I've ever seen who also had a 6 pack!! I can't help wondering what the Master Vampire wants with her! My favorite thing about snow in the sims are the frosted windows Twins!! haha Woot!! Poor Si! I haven't captured a picture but face planting on the ground? - that has also been Kelsey and Lawrence's life!
@JordanNicoleJJ ... I'm pretty (like, 100%) sure that the number of roommates appearing on the lot depends on the amount of beds you placed there. If you want like just 3 or 4 roommates, put only 3 or 4 beds besides the one for your sims. You don't have to have 10 roommates if you don't want to. Anyway- what a great graduation party! omg all of the Becca drama, but I mean, it if helped clearing Will's mind then bring it on aaaaaaw the proposal I was not expecting it but it was so cute! In front of all of their friends too I'm so glad you managed to play through university already meanwhile I'm here screaming at the monitor like "GROW. UP. PLEASE." the new colonial house in willow creek is so cute! I'm loving it! The interior is so nicely decorated! the living room is such a fave, but the studio looked amazing too! And the upstair bedroom I'm so glad that Will and Virginia kept in touch with all of their friends! OMG I'm so glad you created their whole families! that's such an amazing thing to do! Clarice looks like such an amazing grandma, she's so sweet. Harold and Lauren feel like they're from a different world altogether. I'm loving how your founders backstories seem to clash, yet coming together for the wedding. Virginia looks soooo good in her wedding dress! and yay for an outdoor wedding at the park! the weather was beautiful for such a lovely day. I'm so happy for Virginia and Will even if Will's mama seemed in the mood for ruining the ceremony. AaaaAAW YES A PREGNANCY! I'm so hyped to see their little nooboo, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this and- YAAAAAS JOIN THE DARK CC SIDE YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT
@OJenn R.I.P. chocolate cakes all around the world (-- why do I always end up with sims cloning themselves???)
@SimCave I'm so excited for Violet and Rory being together in the near future and they're still kiddos I guess I'll have to lower the settings to short life span
@debjameswhite happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you too! I hope you're feeling well hang in there and try to rest as much as possible! I'm sending lots of virtual hugs I'm super happy I also had a chance to (re)find this thread and getting to know you and your simming stories. It's always so much fun in here I hope I'll always have time for a little TS4&Forum -- to your update: I just want to mention how sweet the pic of Lawrence and Kelsey hugging outside of the hospital is! it really melted my heart. It's kind of a bummer that you're having the hospital overrun by ghosts but oh well, I'll just guess that's how it works in the sims world Welcome little Adeline! lol Lawrence panicking for his kid farting is one of the best things ever. That's me, actually. Me every time I babysit "that sounded wrong, little Jo, did you just poop in your pants???" anyway your fam is adorable and I've missed them a lot I hope you'll be feeling better for the holidays
@carlimact Harrison's mood is one of the best things I've seen in a while, I swear Zaid grew up into such a cool mix of his parents!
@amadazulsim Pregnant!Kia is the cutest and that's coming from one that had so many pregnancies in game lately that I almost wanted to throw the pc out of the window oh MY GOD it's twins! It's a curse! they look identical, which is super precious, but--- good luck handling the family

First thing I see as I open the game after a week is sorcerers taking over Willow Creek. Nice. That's the most random thing I've seen happening, I swear.
Anyway, back to the Austins. Considering that the kids are going to age up soon, I've been making them work extra hard on their homework and projects to grind good grades and skills. They all work at them together, Ridge included.
I'm obviously doing all of this for Rory, since he's the heir, but sometimes he's the biggest meanie to Emilia for reasons that remain unknown to me. Must be the mean phase.
E: "You should at least show some appreciation for the time that I'm wasting helping you finish all of these projects!"
R: "As if I need any help with them. I'm the genius one, remember?"
fly down, boy
Being the teen that she is, Emilia's already dealing with 21893727654 different phases of her own. Sometimes she gets hurt over a couple of harsh words and has to jump in the pool to cry over them. You know where she got all of this drama from *eyeroll* ammaright, Selene?
And speaking about drama & fame, I'm set on not having another superstar in game for a while, as long as none of my potential heirs get the aspiration. 'cause that's what I have to deal with on a daily basis: I'm ok with fans creeping outside the house, but sneaking inside from the backyard and entering the kids room... that's a no for me. Go, Aurora! Take her out!
One of the following days, I was super happy to see that one of Ridge kids decided to call him to hang out at the fastivals. She was also super pretty!
I immediately took the chance to send all of the fam at San Myshuno, but the girl was nowhere in sight ... I had hoped to have the kids get to know one another, but... oh well. She must have decided that she no longer cared about her cheater-dad. Overall, it was still a nice sunny day.
I was also hoping for the kids to geek out, especially Rory and his genius trait, but the huge geekcon tv had the priority. Also: yes. They're still going around in their pajamas 24/7. They just never want to dress up
Of course the day ended with a "special" karaoke night project karaoke 2.0
Back at home, I'm basically able to get 2 monsters under the bed at night. They just can't let the kiddos sleep in peace. Rory's the only one that loves hanging out with his monster. He even plays with it!
... can't say the same for the others
If the adults fail at sending the monsters away, at least the kids have Emilia on their side.
Speaking about Emilia, she's been spending much more time with mama Selene now that she's all grown up. Selene loves that her daughter's no longer a tiny & whiny kid, so she has decided to start tutoring her and preparing her acting skills. For the blonde clone, it's all worth it.
Jody, Rory and Clara kept on going to school in their pajamas...
They've also found a new club for kids so that they can do their homework together and have some fun at the same time. Rory invited all of his new friends.
... some of them are just... problematic to have around, to say the least
Ridge can barely parent his own kids, so I really didn't have the will to parent somebody else's kid.
R:"Mess with the carpet one more time and I'll kick you out of the house, young man."
Not sure whether I've already mentioned it or not, but I'm officially set on sending Rory to Foxbury. He's such a brilliant little sim that I can't wait to have him play around with robotics. He'll probably become an engineer once he's all grown up. For the time being, all he has going on are school projects and the... future cube thingie???
-welp. Just the school projects, then
The first day of summer, I couldn't keep the fam at home and I rushed to get them back at the park. Maybe one day I'll get tired of this place
Emilia found a few fans, so she had to sign some autographs. Dad Mathias couldn't leave her side. He was set on freelancing as her bodyguard.
Not far away, Rory found his friends and club members. Violet rushed over there as soon as she spotted him playing.
I'm pretty sure they both have a huge crush on one another, but they're super young and totally oblivious
When she looks at him, he's always looking the other way, and as soon as she turns around, he can't but peek *facepalm*- it went on all afternoon, not even kidding.
They're all becoming such good friends and I'm loving it.
*cluelessness intensifies* see???? they're so adorable send help I just want them to grow up already
They decided to stay out till super late, way beyond the curfew.
Selene tried to warn them, but I refused to send them home. There was Mathias with them, after all. Best babysitter ever.
... or at least I thought so -- I guess it's best if Selene doesn't know what the heck he was doing
Speaking about Mathias: a shocking surprise! - I don't even know how to explain this.
Anyway, the kids lived their best summer ever. I guess that's how it goes when you're born into the richest family in town.
I got kinda tired about having them stuck inside the house, tho. After focusing so much on the younger generation, I realized way too late that Aurora, Selene and Irene were about to turn into elders ... the day before their last birthday, I decided to change things a little. The kiddos were already living inside their swimsuits, so at least they were prepared
Off to Sulani! the last grand vacation before the triplets get all wrinkly and old. I got such an awesome sunny day in Sulani that I couldn't but feel blessed. I couldn't control myself and I took way too many pics - it's picspam time!
*that awkward moment when you see your fave teen celebrity and you can't but faint underwater*
Selene knew about the wedding but decided to call Mathias anyway. Of course, he couldn't but come and enjoy the water with his best side (????????) girl.
Somebody forgot to apply sunscreen!
... and about love matters... Emilia eyed a super good looking teen at the beach. I was so surprised, considering that he's a townie.
He gave me such super hot kpop idol vibes that I couldn't resist not even Emilia.
She soon learned that he's Leonardo Munch. And that he, too, was sorta into her.
Some clumsy teen flirtin' with the sunset
He disappeared almost instantly, tho, and as soon as he did Emilia realized that she had fallen for a guy that lived soooooooooo far away.
Meanwhile, the Austin girls enjoyed their last night as adults with their fans, taking selfies and signing autographs. @debjameswhite look who's over there! It's Drew! I've been looking for her everywhere in game but I could never find her. She finally appeared in Sulani!
The selfie was a must!
For the second (and maybe last) time, nobody minded the curfew. And I mean, how could they?
I'll just end this looooooooooong and spammy update with this final trick that MCCC played on me.
I mean- they're all part of the family tree. Look at this mess.
LOOK. AT. THIS. MESS.
@debjameswhite Chloe too!!!
How am I supposed to keep up???
