@mikezumi Same here when my wife is pregnant I take the easy route of the expensive spa day retreat,use it like the snuggabunny baby rocker sends her to a rabbit hole to get pampered which takes forever and afterwards gives a huge long lasting moodlet.And I get the benefit of getting to paint in peace or spend many hours alone asking the magic mirror if I am the fairest sim of all.
Which I am.... a good 20 percent of the time Magic mirror does not like me.Still trying to figure out which sim is the fairest in town cause been working on my detonation skills while figuring it out.

@UniquePuggle Thought that screenie you posted was me today in RL.Except I was on a exercise bike and my underoos had Batman on them. Always a kid at heart.
@Karritz Here's what the finished sculpture looks like. It's only the bust of the sphinx, not the full Egyptian build.
@Mikezumi Nice to have a brave sim in the household when a burglar shows up! ...I loved that pic of the gnome in the flower bed. Perfect shot. ...Elder Jensen. I thought I'd never see the day. Sniff. He still looks good though. ...BTW, I see that wall phone by your sims' front door. I put a land phone in the Bay Watch house and silenced it like you suggested so all the cell phones could be silenced at once. Thanks for the hint on that. ...This is also the first time I've had a baby/toddler disappear. But I've never played rotational style before either. I wasn't prepared for possible trouble, I guess.
...RE: the storm not affecting your part of Australia. I think we forget how huge Australia really is!
@CravenLestat Great pics of your SS sculpting. Beautiful statues. Those are ice, right? ...Loved seeing the top premades video. I've always liked the "watching me" song too. ...Nice shade of blue you chose for the Sims 2 AL t-shirt.
@Charlottesmom I didn't know the sea lions showed up in pools either. Cool. ...I loved those grumpy looks on Gunther's and Cornelia's faces! too funny. ...Congrats on the twins. Boy and Girl. That's neat. And good for Mortimer helping with the babies. An awesome big brother.
@emorrill Sam looks good in his new QL t-shirt! ...Beautiful scenery shots too. ...I like Claire's new outfits. And great pics of her playing the violin. ...I think Jade looks like Claire. ...The dish drying rack is a nice clutter item. I like it. ...Poor Connor. He never has a chance around you girls! ...That Mosquito Cove home actually has great potential for remodeling. It has good bones!
@king_of_simcity7 Loved all the basketball shots of Carla. She's an attractive sim. @android00b7 Loved your atmospheric screenshots, as well as the lovely pics taken during the day. The pictures of the kids were fun too.
@plushtrap_107 Enjoyed reading your story! The Snodwells sound like real pieces of work! Glad the kids could get away from them and that Honest Eddie could help them out with a house.
@Littledreamer1994 What fun pics of Airen and Nic. ...Your house rebuild looks awesome! ...Loved the pics of Macey on her walk, beautiful scenery. Macey and Airen look a lot alike. I had to double check on who was who! ...Crazy alien! ...Fun fairy house party. I love the sound effects from those!

Don't look at me, Chris! I didn't tell you to gamble. ... I just provided the roulette wheel.
When I finally told Chris to go to bed, he'd managed to break even.

@CravenLestat You cracked me up with this one! I really can imagine you asking the Magic Mirror over and over while wearing your Batman underoos
You really need to change your avi back! I get confused when I see your new one
This is a sad day as Jordan and Cliff are about to become elders
Nevan and Shannon both had wishes to take Bridie for a stroll but I let Nevan go first as Shannon had to do the gardening.
When they got back from their stroll it was time to learn how to walk. Like Cliff, Nevan has the Family Oriented trait and it makes toddler skilling a little faster
Eilish woke with a wish to go on a date with Claude. Since it was Saturday I locked the wish in. Around mid morning I located Claude at the pool and sent Eilish to ask him out.
They went to the bowling alley. I was happy to see Finnian and Darla were there
I then checked back at the house to make sure Bridie's social needs were being met as I had left her on the peg box.
When I checked back with Eilish and Claude I found they had finished their bowling match and were upstairs playing games.
I had completely forgotten about Prom and when I got the popup I had Eilish bring Claude home for a quick meal because they always come home hungry from the Prom.
I don't know if it was because they were on a date or because Claude had been invited into the house but he never made it into the limo although the popups said they were at the Prom together.
Claude played the piano as Eilish left. I changed him into his formal wear for the Prom photo.
I let the family have dinner before the birthdays. It would sad if the boys' dentures couldn't get through the meal afterwards
First up was Jordan since he was at the top of portrait panel.
I have to admit I chuckled here because he reminded me of Angus from AC/DC
So much better and Jordan agrees as well
Then before the family could escape it was Cliff's turn.
No pigtails but still not a good look!
He looks miserable
But he soon got over it
Jordan is over-emotional and it was all too much for him and he shed a few tears.
The boys all watched the house together
Before aging up, Jordan had been breaking space rocks until he was fatigued so I had Cliff fix him up as good as new with a deep tissue massage
Proof that Claude was at the Prom with Eilish even though I could see him fishing across the street
@Mikezumi Very nice that your new world is zipping right along! Makes the game so enjoyable. ...Such a sweet picture of Josh giving his wife flowers. ...LOL at Nevan going cross-eyed over his baby notice! ...You caught a perfect moment of Cliff and Jordan watching the stars--Jordan pointing while Cliff looks impressed. ...Looks like the selfies have started up again! ...All those gnome gravestones! ...Congrats on Bridie. A surprise redhead! Darling. ...Loved seeing the family tree. ...Fun shots of Bridie on the spring rider. ...I really like Claude. ...OMG! Jordan's first pic as an Elder! Hilarious. But I love what you did with his hair--the soft red-toned color. And Cliff is looking good too! ...Love that prom pic of Eilish and Claude. Amazing that he could be in two places at once! HA!
@Littledreamer1994 That is so cool that toddler Nic can go into the Fairy house for a party! ...Creepy zombies. ...Loved the pic of Nic learning to fly. ...Gorgeous sunrise! ...Awesome pics of Nat with Nic. ...Great shot of the autumn festival. ...Congrats on Airen and Miraj being RIs now. ...Fun trick-or-treaters. ...Nicodemus aged up to be a good looking little boy. Great shot of Ruby aging up too.
@bekkasan, @CravenLestat, @Littledreamer1994 I'm about to ban IFs from my game too. I've seen a few ErrorTrap messages about resetting them although I've never had any real issues--yet. Kids are demanding enough for me. Having an extra one around to worry about is too much! And my problem with the ghost toddler could have been a combo of a few things, including the IF, that the game couldn't sort out.
@CravenLestat The 1942 video is one of my favorites of yours! @TadOlson I liked seeing the screenshots of CAW since I've never been in that program before. Very interesting.
@Charlottesmom Loved the Goth update. Dalia is awesome. Love her name and backstory. She's beautiful too. Her place above the garage is a great living area! ...Loved the pics of her getting to know the family. ...Congrats on the twins aging up. They're darling! ...Dalia is going to make a great addition to the family.
@Karritz So Salty is going to get his wish! But like you say, you can always bring Haley back to life later. ...Anne is a cute little girl. Love her coloring. ...I enjoyed reading about all the different stories and duplicate sims in your various worlds. Pretty complex connections! I have several sims in different worlds too, all connected one way or another.
...RE: trying to get Brigida's inventory items. I've already replaced her teddy bear and the death flower. As for the IF, I'm afraid it would turn out glitchy. I'm already having a couple of issues with Brigida herself. She's no longer a ghost, but she still has sound effects from being one (echoes, etc.). I wish I could have played her as a toddler ghost, but not if I had to always add a "clone" of her back into the household every time she disappeared! Very frustrating. ...The new clothes happened when I added Brigida back with the NRaas family tree after she'd gone missing. The jury is still out for me on NRaas Story Progession. I know lots of people swear by it, but I haven't been happy with trying to deal with all the unexpected intricacies!
@plushtrap_107 Thank you for letting me know about your ghost baby/toddler issues. I really think that was the main issue. But the playpen and Imaginary Friend might have made it worse. I've seen those social jigs by playpens before in townie homes. I've managed to delete them, but they can definitely cause problems.
@king_of_simcity7 Nice scenery of Megan on her walk. I'm glad Megan has Anne as a friend. And they look beautiful after dressing for a night out. ...Hmm, only two boys at the bar. Two would do--if they're nice guys!

Some outtakes from Mysterious Island.
Clara cooking a meal is a sight to behold! There's smoke coming from the oven here.
She burned both pancakes and waffles and had to throw them out. They were Horrifying.
Look at the mess she made! At least the Mac and Cheese turned out Normal. But I replaced this cheap stove with a better, self-cleaning one.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was working out to the stereo. Her cooking skills are higher than Clara's. I wanted Clara to get some experience too.
A brand new fancy home with lots of beds, and Daryl decided to crawl into a sleeping bag!
Daryl and Clara tried out the karaoke machine. Awful!
Although, I have to admit Clara gave her performance style!
While Daryl just looked like the Nerdy Genius he is!
More @lanlyn MORE!!!!! your updates need more karaoke ...Bravo Clara Bravo!!!! looking like Tina Turner out there while Daryl needs a few more sessions with his reading flashcards."A" is for Apple Daryl get it together
@bekkasan Thanks The thumbs up is so lame I have to laugh
@Charlottesmom Dalia is lovely! LOL at her sleepwear!
Love the way you converted the garage into her apartment
The pattern on Morty's drawers is adorable
Looks like Dalia and Morty are hitting it off great! I love him even though he's a grump but I know that friendships are not always easy for him.
Meghan and Timothy are cuties! Looks like Timothy got Gunther's eyes
Great update!
@lanlyn The sphynx bust looks great!
Chris' expressions are great! Cliff is excitable and Jordan is over-emotional and between them I see many great expressions
Thanks for the lovely comments
Poor Clara! Some sims do seem to be a disaster in the kitchen! I always get the self-cleaning stove!
Loved seeing Clara and Daryl on the karaoke machine
@mikezumi Your update was completely normal..that is till I seen him practicing ancient Kung Fu tactics on his toddler daughter.Nevan there is a special place for monsters like you Just am glad you didn't show the screenies after that of her flying through the window into the street then him ...I cannot even say what happened next it was brutal.
Luckily he had ice packs cause she came back in threw on her GI and kicked his As..paragus
@Mikezumi Aw...Bridie is adorable. Love her ginger hair. Good genes Jordan! Love the family tree pic. Is it Declan that has the 4 kids? Bridie has a cute little pout. It is weird how prom glitches out with the date staying away, but, still get a photo. Good gracious Jordan is lucky you don't have a rule to keep the EA look!!! Well, so was Cliff.
@Puddinroy :::waves::: Thanks. Cool on the new family. I haven't watched WWE in years and years.
@lanlyn. I play rotationally and have lots of babies and toddlers in many households. I haven't lost one yet. Having said that, I routinely return to a household and find one or more toddlers or babies missing. They are completely gone and their icon isn't on the left side of the screen.
I have Master Controller and use it to get them back. In most instances they return on my first attempt to get them back. What I do is click on the roof of their house and choose NRAAS MASTER CONTROLLER then see what menu I have. It varies sometimes. What I'm looking for is Sim. Then reset sim. I get a list of all Sims belonging to the household. If my missing babies and toddlers are in the list I choose them and reset them. So far they have always returned home and their icon reappear at the left of the screen. I've never noticed any corruption in any of them.
This process didn't work for one of my missing toddlers. I looked in the list of homeless Sims and found her there. I was able to use Master Controller to add her to her household. There were no further problems with her.
I try not to leave them alone for too long but in reality it is often real life months before I get back to them sometimes.
@CravenLestat I like that dress and I think I would use it on her more often
@Mikezumi Thanks for the comment The idea is that they are not meant to be in Roaring Heights but somewhere more boring but I couldn't be bothered to save them to the bin and open up Bridgeport again after I had already changed their clothes lol
Also I will add some sad news. Windows Movie Maker is no more, you cannot download Windows Essentials for free anymore and as I have to send my PC off a few weeks ago I had to install everything back on. I was using a 'trial version' of Movie Maker which has now expired and I am not happy about having to pay for it from somewhere else
Nothing except I have to change some sims houses because of errortrap that targets always the same sims and some sims were in trouble and my simself always sleeping and care of her house and of her pets currently.
@CravenLestat Oh my! Did your gif and comment make me laugh! I don't think Bridie was in any danger from Nevan but I could see what you described so clearly! (Oh, and I awesomed your comment ).
Page 1365
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments Yes, it is Declan that has 4 kids. His wife, Teresa, was the one who went into labor at a recent house party and had twin girls. I got a popup only a day later that she was expecting again
@lanlyn I have never tried rotational play as I only see SP as a tool to keep my town active and alive and to place restrictions on sims I will never play. I imagine that as frustrating as you are finding SP that the EA alternative would be far worse when switching households. You might not just end up with missing ghost toddlers but the other household could decide to up and leave on you! I hope you can find the right settings for what you are trying to do in your game.
@king_of_simcity7 That would have been too much work for a few pics! They were good regardless of whether they were in Roaring Heights or Bridgeport
@Ianlyn, I thought it was sweet that fairy toddlers can go in them as I only found out yesterday both the sims 3 and the sims 4 have great photo opportunities if the shot come out right ^^ @Mikezumi I enjoy your updates a lot, always fun to read
We are now into Day 5 Part 1
Nicodemus will write books when he's older, maybe he will get together with Ruby and they have a family together or if it doesn't work out he will adopt
Nicodemus and Ruby playing together
Got them both proper socializing, so far found out that Ruby has a good sense of humour. Macy was feeling pretty poorly so was resting.
Got Nicodemus to work on the chemistry table
Found Macey in the bathroom xD meaning she's suffering from some morning sickness, it varies for most of my female sims, sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.
The girls had work so sent them off, hopefully Airen will get promoted today Nicodemus finally discovered his first potion. Speaking of Airen, she finally got promoted.
Snow came early to Sunset Valley so expect screenshots of the snow ^^ Airen clears up for the winter months
Poor Nicodemus did not have luck on his side this time, got him sorted out and tried again.
Airen and Macey were having a silly moment.
It is now winter in game
Shots of the snowy mountains
Macey in her second maternity outfit, reminds me of Ophelia when she was dressed in blue, she will have her baby on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Snow!!!
Nathaniel threw himself a house party in the fairy house, party of one I guess. Seeing as she wanted a girl I brought watermelon for her. Airen decided to pay Miraj a visit today, noticed VJ has now aged up.
VJ and Iqbal disagreeing as always but Airmen and Miraj hitting it off well ^^
I am very pleased to announce that Miraj and Airen are officially dating so are now girlfriend and boyfriend. A prom was to be held at the school on Wednesday, of course she asked her bf and he said yes, timing it brilliantly as her car came to pick her up for work.
Finishing work, I got Airen to have dinner at the local diner close to her work place. Spotted several supernaturals lingering about. Nicodemus finally got the chance to bring Ruby to life currently hunting down a rainbow gem but due to the snow it could be impossible
Airen will be graduating from school in 4 days, just seem like four days in game in that I created the family Airen had her first mood swing and snow day for both my kids
Winter Festival
Airen eating some pumpkin pie
Macey was ill again however her pregnancy did bring some of the townie's attention ^^ O_o one thing I forgot to mention was the kids radio was playing at the elixir shop soo she could have more then one
So just in case I designed a room for twins
Macey destroyed Airen's snowman, Airen herself decided to make another one. Pillow fight in Macey's room.
Bloody zombie startled me Poor Airen though
Not scared of zombies one bit, brave girl
Another tried to attack her but failed, Macey made a pumpkin pie for Doris and just shortly after went into labour
Deciding on whether to have her baby at home or at the hospital, Airen's mood swings ended.
Decided on home birth, Nat was in distress.
And she had a boy despite me giving Macey watermelon I think my game is rigged
I named him Lyric. Human Baby
Welcome to the world little one ^^
This time Airen did get scared when one tried to attack her. Noticed Rub a doughnut and that she possibly had the neat trait, little Nic meanwhile had been busy making potions and had discovered the ghost potion.
Airen got a chance to hold her youngest brother. Boys have always been a rarity in my games so it's unusual to see boys born in game XD Decided to send them to school despite it being a snow day.
Airen is now on the honour roll and Nicodemus is a b grade student, I named Lyric's IF Celeste. Macey learned a new recipe from the cooking channel. Miraj had just aged up as I remember he's older then Airen but hopefully can still take her to prom on Wednesday.
I cancelled the oppourtnity in the end and focused on the chemistry table instead. Macey has two oppurtunities to complete, one including making some burgers for the staff at the police station. Robi passed away
Got Airen ready for prom night
Outfit
Miraj wasn't there though but a limo was
Arriving at Prom
Found him in the garden. Macey's tasks were completed. Snowflake Day
Goal for Today: Go to the Festival and Participate in all activities. After countless research and discovery, Nic finally made the potion to bring Ruby to life
He gave it to his companion
Ruby
Her traits are Daredevil, Snob and Good Sense of Humour
Makeover, gave her vibrant red hair and some little stars on her face
Had Airen study in her logic for a bit and Macey attend one of her friend's parties. Brought a bunk bed for Nic and Ruby. While at the feast party, Macey caught up with a distant friend and met new people.

Once they are ready they head to a bar
It looks quiet though
Only two guys there!
How disappointing! They should have gone to Simbourne instead!

@king_of_simcity7 Thanks
@bekkasan Thanks
@Charlottesmom Dalia is lovely! LOL at her sleepwear!
Love the way you converted the garage into her apartment
The pattern on Morty's drawers is adorable
Looks like Dalia and Morty are hitting it off great! I love him even though he's a grump but I know that friendships are not always easy for him.
Meghan and Timothy are cuties! Looks like Timothy got Gunther's eyes
Great update!
@CravenLestat Loved your Candyman video
@lanlyn Great seeing @mycami21's mansion and Clue characters in your save
The lot you placed it on has an amazing view!

@TadOlson Thanks
@lanlyn The sphynx bust looks great!
Chris' expressions are great! Cliff is excitable and Jordan is over-emotional and between them I see many great expressions
Thanks for the lovely comments
Poor Clara! Some sims do seem to be a disaster in the kitchen! I always get the self-cleaning stove!
Loved seeing Clara and Daryl on the karaoke machine

I have Master Controller and use it to get them back. In most instances they return on my first attempt to get them back. What I do is click on the roof of their house and choose NRAAS MASTER CONTROLLER then see what menu I have. It varies sometimes. What I'm looking for is Sim. Then reset sim. I get a list of all Sims belonging to the household. If my missing babies and toddlers are in the list I choose them and reset them. So far they have always returned home and their icon reappear at the left of the screen. I've never noticed any corruption in any of them.
This process didn't work for one of my missing toddlers. I looked in the list of homeless Sims and found her there. I was able to use Master Controller to add her to her household. There were no further problems with her.
I try not to leave them alone for too long but in reality it is often real life months before I get back to them sometimes.

@Mikezumi Thanks for the comment
@bekkasan Thanks for the feedback
Also I will add some sad news. Windows Movie Maker is no more, you cannot download Windows Essentials for free anymore and as I have to send my PC off a few weeks ago I had to install everything back on. I was using a 'trial version' of Movie Maker which has now expired and I am not happy about having to pay for it from somewhere else

@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
@lanlyn I have never tried rotational play as I only see SP as a tool to keep my town active and alive and to place restrictions on sims I will never play. I imagine that as frustrating as you are finding SP that the EA alternative would be far worse when switching households. You might not just end up with missing ghost toddlers but the other household could decide to up and leave on you! I hope you can find the right settings for what you are trying to do in your game.
@king_of_simcity7 That would have been too much work for a few pics! They were good regardless of whether they were in Roaring Heights or Bridgeport

@Mikezumi I enjoy your updates a lot, always fun to read
We are now into Day 5 Part 1
Nicodemus will write books when he's older, maybe he will get together with Ruby and they have a family together or if it doesn't work out he will adopt
Nicodemus and Ruby playing together
Got them both proper socializing, so far found out that Ruby has a good sense of humour. Macy was feeling pretty poorly so was resting.
Got Nicodemus to work on the chemistry table
Found Macey in the bathroom xD meaning she's suffering from some morning sickness, it varies for most of my female sims, sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.
The girls had work so sent them off, hopefully Airen will get promoted today
Snow came early to Sunset Valley so expect screenshots of the snow ^^ Airen clears up for the winter months
Poor Nicodemus did not have luck on his side this time, got him sorted out and tried again.
Airen and Macey were having a silly moment.
It is now winter in game
Shots of the snowy mountains
Macey in her second maternity outfit, reminds me of Ophelia when she was dressed in blue, she will have her baby on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Snow!!!
Nathaniel threw himself a house party in the fairy house, party of one I guess. Seeing as she wanted a girl I brought watermelon for her. Airen decided to pay Miraj a visit today, noticed VJ has now aged up.
VJ and Iqbal disagreeing as always but Airmen and Miraj hitting it off well ^^
I am very pleased to announce that Miraj and Airen are officially dating so are now girlfriend and boyfriend. A prom was to be held at the school on Wednesday, of course she asked her bf and he said yes, timing it brilliantly as her car came to pick her up for work.
Finishing work, I got Airen to have dinner at the local diner close to her work place. Spotted several supernaturals lingering about. Nicodemus finally got the chance to bring Ruby to life currently hunting down a rainbow gem but due to the snow it could be impossible
Airen will be graduating from school in 4 days, just seem like four days in game in that I created the family
Winter Festival
Airen eating some pumpkin pie
Macey was ill again however her pregnancy did bring some of the townie's attention ^^ O_o one thing I forgot to mention was the kids radio was playing at the elixir shop soo she could have more then one
So just in case I designed a room for twins
Macey destroyed Airen's snowman, Airen herself decided to make another one. Pillow fight in Macey's room.
Bloody zombie startled me
Not scared of zombies one bit, brave girl
Another tried to attack her but failed, Macey made a pumpkin pie for Doris and just shortly after went into labour
Deciding on whether to have her baby at home or at the hospital, Airen's mood swings ended.
Decided on home birth, Nat was in distress.
And she had a boy despite me giving Macey watermelon
I named him Lyric. Human Baby
Welcome to the world little one ^^
This time Airen did get scared when one tried to attack her. Noticed Rub a doughnut and that she possibly had the neat trait, little Nic meanwhile had been busy making potions and had discovered the ghost potion.
Airen got a chance to hold her youngest brother. Boys have always been a rarity in my games so it's unusual to see boys born in game XD Decided to send them to school despite it being a snow day.
Airen is now on the honour roll
I cancelled the oppourtnity in the end and focused on the chemistry table instead. Macey has two oppurtunities to complete, one including making some burgers for the staff at the police station. Robi passed away
Got Airen ready for prom night
Outfit
Miraj wasn't there though but a limo was
Arriving at Prom
Found him in the garden. Macey's tasks were completed. Snowflake Day
Goal for Today: Go to the Festival and Participate in all activities. After countless research and discovery, Nic finally made the potion to bring Ruby to life
He gave it to his companion
Ruby
Her traits are Daredevil, Snob and Good Sense of Humour
Makeover, gave her vibrant red hair and some little stars on her face
Had Airen study in her logic for a bit and Macey attend one of her friend's parties. Brought a bunk bed for Nic and Ruby. While at the feast party, Macey caught up with a distant friend and met new people.
Airen and Lyric's birthday
@Mikezumi great update a susual
@lanlyn Great udpates
