    I updated the main page just a tiny bit! I plan to go through and find some more sims for the worlds as the world list has gotten quite extensive :D Feel free to offer up suggestions just remember we want to stick with sims from the Gallery as that is easier for everyone to download.

    @OJenn Awesome! You can use whatever sims are on my gallery that you want. I really like isleroux, SugarySweetSims, and Avianator's sims, just any of them really lol.

    I was angry at my game this weekend and since I had some time off I decided to build my next house. OH man these large builds are definitely a labor of love. There is so much detail to address when you have this much space! I hope I didn't forget anything :)

    A new cafe opened up in the neighborhood (lot from the gallery) and it's become Sage's favorite spot.

    She has met all sorts of people there, including a handsome restaurant owner named Kyle.

    Sadly he seemed more interested in a friendship that anymore more.

    Pablo, however, made his interest known almost immediately.

    Sage fell for him right then and there.

    Meanwhile her brother Ash was doing pretty great too, he just bought their parent's old house.

    And got a job as a Professor for his Alma Mater, he is very pleased.

    He and his girlfriend, Journey Porter (by @Heckstress17 ) made this official and moved in together

    Sage is happy for them and happy to have more neighbors she knows

    With a job in fashion Sage is always giving sims makeovers and I absolutely love it!

    Things with Pablo picked up and he asked her out on a date

    Sage is really smitten and Pablo seems to feel the same

    Also @debjameswhite I think I figured out why sims are randomly "taking" items even if they aren't kleptos. Its because of this Neighborhood Action Plan

    @debjameswhite I always miss you guys. My life is so busy right now but hopefully that will change.
    @OJenn I love your container house. I have always been a fan of your builds.:)
    @JordanNicoleJJ RL seems to be a bit much but I am finding a way to get a healthy balance.

    @debjameswhite - IS THAT A GARAGE?! That is so neat, I really like how you did that, I always struggle to make them look natural. I also have to say you are the master of making large houses looked lived in. @amadazulsim I can definitely understand RL being a lot, I hope things change for you. And me too, why can't we have more hours in the day?

    P.S. I miss you @Heckstress17 and @Tellex
    P.P.S I am working on something new and shiny with a certain someone here :wink:

    Update


    Sorry for the late update, life got in the way as it does. I have uploaded the unfurnished version of my generation 9 house on my gallery:EthanHS Please ignore the decorations it's a bug and I couldn't get rid of them in build mode. :(
    I will be posting the finished version in a few days and hopefully a family play update this week(crosses my fingers). Just this last gen to go and when the heir becomes an YA I will be finished with the rebuild Willow Creek challenge!

    @EMSimmer30 Your house looks incredible! Its great that you are on generation nine. I wish I had your building skills. I also keep forgetting that stairs can change direction again. How you brought it down around the kitchen and then toward the front door looks very nice. I'd like to live there.

    Come see what's going on here on another version of Rebuild challenge.

    @EMSimmer30 - Oh wow I really love this house, it looks super spacious! I noticed that you could not get rid of the holiday decor when you go in to build mode but hey at least they are cute. I can't wait to see how you decorate this place and I like how you did the stairs. I always forget that it's a feature that we can mess with now, very cool.

    Update


    So, I was inspired by your builds over on the other thread and I managed to finish the Gen 9 house in four hours(for me that is a short time lol). I have uploaded it to the gallery: Ethan HS
    Just a couple of game play updates to go then we are done! :smiley:

    I need to figure out how you guys do the first person view tour pics, please tell me.

    @EMSimmer30 - You can just select the Tab key on your keyboard and it should get rid of everything. Is that what you mean?
  • Options
    EMSimmer30EMSimmer30 Posts: 181 Member
    @OJenn No, I mean how do you get the camera to first person mode for taking your pics instead of zooming in on a room from above/side like I've been doing.
  • Options
    debjameswhitedebjameswhite Posts: 1,612 Member
    @EMSimmer30 If I was looking at your view in game. I would then zoom in to the actual room, and raise the walls. If you use the sims 4 camera, as I do, when I take pictures I switch to the sims 3 camera so I can change the tilt. I have a scroll button on my mouse and I use that a lot. Let me know if that helps.

    Hudson, Jack and the kids loved their new house! There was a lot of playing and dancing going on.

    However, sad news soon befell them as Hudson's older siblings and their spouce's started to die of old age. Hilary was devastated when her husband passed suddenly and was comforted by Jack whenever she would visit.

    Jack admitted to Hudson that he really liked Hilary but knew it was too soon for her and that he had made a commitment to helping to raise the kids and he would not go back on his word. Hudson assured Jack that if and when he and Hilary were ready to be together, she and the kids would be fine with just him visiting a lot. Time flew by and it was the triplets big kid birthdays!

    At the party Hilary agreed to date Jack and introduced him to her teenage son.

    The kids worked on their grades and Hudson continued to get promotions in her teaching career. After a year of dating Jack planned for a special date.

    She said yes! It was time for Jack to move out but not on. To help with the kids Hudson and Jack convinced Cecil, Hilen's ex to move in with his teen boys, Barry and Cotey.

    Life decided to give both Hudson and Cecil a punch in the guts when one day who should appear but Nabila!!! After trying to sweet talk Cecil and a bit of yelling on Hudson's part she admitted that she was there because Hilden had died after the birth of their second child and she wanted the Lovell family to take them in while she would get Hilden's portion of the inheritance! A full on court battle followed with custody of the kids going to Henry Lovell(the youngest of the siblings) and Nabila awarded a settlement of 500k to give up all parental rights of all of her children(the three with Hudson and two with Hilden) and no future claim on the family allowed.

    There was much drinking that night, Cecil and Hudson found themselves in a bit of a pickle.

    They agreed to get married till after the baby was born then divorce quickly since Cecil was actually in love with Henry and had planned to help him with his kids as well. Soon they were welcoming: Claudia Lovell, into the world.

    Cecil moved in with Henry, while Barry and Cotey decided to stay living with Hudson and their cousins.

    Before long Barry and Cotey's YA birthdays had arrived and the whole family gathered to celebrate. They also celebrated Hudson's adult birthday as her's had gotten lost in the shuffle of crazy happening the last few years. Now it was just Hudson and her four kids in the house.

    Hudson had done it! She had reached the top of her career as a tenured professor and head of her department! With more time not at work she spent as much of it as she could with the kids before their dreaded teen birthdays when they would of course want nothing to do with their lame mom. Lol :wink:

    Teenhood had arrived!

    Final Update


    Our last life stage push included lots of homework(gotta get those A's), Catherine working on her writing skills, Clarissa working on her charisma and painting skills, Carson working on his charisma and cooking skills and Hudson helping along the way.

    It was a great day when Hudson had her elder birthday and could retire from the top of her career(I just hoped she would live long enough till the triplets aged up).

    Luckily for me she did and the big day arrived! The closing of teenhood into adulthood and the end of a ten generation challenge! :smiley:
