What Happened In Your Game Today, The Non-Serial Story Version

    Today it was Sunday in my game. That's one week into this save, game=play wise. Erik licensed his first song, but no nomination was had. Oh, well. He got a thought in his head and decided to just go to the Starlight Accolades, anyway. I'll be darned if he didn't win his very first Best Song. No nomination, but it was definitely in the Best Song category. Way to go, Erik. The next day he performed a concert out in NewCrest. It was an early morning concert, which was good, because it was already on the warm side at seven-thirty AM. His sister, parents and brothers were all there. Suddenly, Kayleigh showed up, as well. I had Brianna chat with her. The two struck up a friendship, which was good for both Teens, as they are 'new' in town. Brianna asked Kayleigh what she felt about Erik. Kayleigh said she hadn't had the pleasure of meeting him. A moment later, Brianna was busy playing matchmaker but chatting up Erik to her new friend. Kayleigh agreed Erik seemed like a good person to be around. After the concert ended, the Cantrell's went back home to Del Sol Valley. They planned on swimming, so Brianna called Kayleigh to see if she wanted to hang out at the Cantrell house. Kayleigh came over and Erik, all but forgot he was on his way out to a photoshoot. He followed Kayleigh inside to the laundry room where Brianna was. Erik introduced himself in a flirty manner, since that's what he was suddenly feeling and the two hit it off immediately. They exchanged numbers. Later they swam for a bit and then Kayleigh said she had to go, thanks for letting me hang out. Erik caught up to her and walked her back home. He met her father, Captain Drake Golden, and surprisingly, the two got on well. Erik only got three more songs written, but he was slightly distracted you might say …

    @cyncie thanks so much <3

    I must say that your spoiler part of your post was super interesting, I think next time I play a spellcaster I will experiment to see what happens if I try that LOL

    @JustinB113 It’s hard not to get story involved, at least a little. I prefer to post here, though, because I don’t have the energy to go back through massive amounts of past posts to get caught up in the other thread. I try to keep my posts short, mostly self contained, but still connected. That way, no one has to read everything I ever posted to enjoy the current one, but anyone who’s interested can sort of follow the story of my game.

    @GalacticGal Yay! Erik met Kayleigh!

    @mcrudd That whole gnome thing took me by surprise. I LOL’d pretty hard, though. The funny thing is, they actually did show up on the front lawn this time, but immediately disappeared. I figured they were like, “Abort mission!” when they saw Morgyn.

    @cyncie Yes mine are similar to yours, self contained but carry on from each other. I thought this was the best one for me too even though there is some small story continuity. I was a bit confused as the what did you do today thread is much more detailed stories and this one was more about small things that happened like a fire in the sims house or the sims had babies.

    But I think it’s this one that is the best at least for me 🙂.

    Anyway I prepared my sims for my wedding stories and they were going to help Greta plan her wedding. But I think I will put this on hold and prepare for the expansion instead.

    Macy wanted to flirt with someone but she doesn't really know other teenagers so she tried a blind date (mod).

    What a complete trainwreck.

    @cyncie haha I don't think those gnomes will be back anytime soon. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

    @galacticgal Congrats to Erik on his first starlight accolade, and glad he got to meet Kayleigh!

    @JustinB113 I like the coat that the sim on the left in the first picture is wearing! Is it from a pack or is it cc?

    @Thrior I agree, that was a trainwreck lol.

    @MrPlumbob Ah thanks. That coat is from the moonlight chic kit 😬. 12 colourful swatches, it’s nice.

    I'm running a virus scan right now and it's taking for-ever so I decided to come over here and catch up on what you guys are doing, muuuuch more entertaining.

    I've been really busy in RL or playing other games but I've also been doing some experimenting with building in the Sims 4. I made some sims, a few base game starter houses (No CC No Moo) for new players and new games plus a few higher end, pack loaded lots and rooms. Some turned out nice enough for me to want to share in the gallery, some are ok and you'll never see the really bad ones. ;)

    Waiting for a scan to complete is a lot like watching paint dry. I was putting my game through a repair and had to go downstairs for a bit to check on dinner. Then I was able to come up to my loft to find it was completed. Yay. Today, no problems with my game. Phew!

    Today, yes I'm posting on the same day I played. Please, don't faint. LOL I had to, unfortunately, create yet another new save, for my Cantrell family. I also removed a few mods, then repaired my game to fix some of the strange glitches that were occurring. Erik made good use of his time from Sunday -late Friday. He's written nine songs, again. Release two albums with another one in the can. He has also averaged a concert and a photoshoot a day, so the boy has some Simoleons of his own. He licensed his first song, but like previously, never got notified. I'm going to send him to the Starlight Accolade Show anyway, we'll see what happens. I moved the Golden family into the neighborhood, so far no sightings.

    I'm very pleased to announce, that this latest save is going along very well. Not only has Erik won his first Starlight Accolade for Best Song, but with little more than one week left before school starts up again, he has written sixteen songs. Just six more to go and he'll be ready for uni. He has released a total of three albums and the only thing he hasn't done, thus far, is meet Kayleigh. That will come in time. He's also got a second nomination. I realized that since I never got a notification on the first licensed song, that I would know if the royalty went up for it. Sure enough, it was up substantially. This is something I've noticed from playing him in the past. I had his mother accompany him to the Show. He was so cute as he accepted it. I took a picture, which I plan on posting in the Last screenshot you took thread. Aaron has reached level five in dancing. Joey level four.

    Sorry in advance for all the text but I’m kinda excited.

    Almost daily, I delete the randomly generated pear shaped townies that get thrown into my game seemingly to assault my eyes and enrage me. But during my early morning deletion session/new save set up, I saw two families that caught my eye. I took the first one into CAS and it was a father and his three kids (teen boy, child aged girl and boy). The kids were adorable so I gave the whole family a makeover and while doing so, I discovered that they all had hearing aids in at least one of their outfits. I gave them a backstory, not focused on their hearing impairment but coping with the death of their wife & mother, Maxine, then saved them to my library. I kinda want to play them now. I kept the little girl’s name Norah and her teen brother Grayson but dad became Matthew instead of Fernando and the other boy went from Blaze to Tristan.

    The second family threw me for a loop, two elders, a teen girl, a child aged girl and a YA male. I thought maybe a father, his kids and parents. Nope! An elderly couple James (formerly Jay) and Lesley, their son, Austen, and two granddaughters, Alexia and Breanna who are not siblings…they’re cousins and neither of them are Austen’s kid! I have never had this happen in my game before. This makes me want to check the family tree before deleting families from now on. This is the random familial variety I live for. Families are more than just parents and children. I hope we can create households with these dynamics with the update for the new pack.

    My latest game have been mostly about my Legacy Foss. They are on 3rd generation. There is so much going on that im not sure where to start lol. First of all the lc founder Donna recently died after living very long life. Now the 2nd generation has taken over and one of the siblings moved back in with them to finish univercity. Cocos was not doing so well and he needed little bit of supervising. Now he is finally finish his studies of Physics and has been building some bots. He was a genius child so we dont wan´t to see his potential go all wasted. He is mentally gifted but does not cope in daily living so well so its better he lives with the main family. The heiress Maple is running a vetenary and it makes profit every day. Her aspiration has been on the backburner but as she gets older she will start working on her aspiration more. Maple married Joaquin from Windenburg and he achieved top of his career in entertainment. They had 2 sons, Pecan and Bean. Bean is the one who will carry on as the next heir. He is quite interesting sims, who is very creative and has lot of personality. He seems to be interested in werewolfes too so, lest see where that takes this legacy family lineage.

    Hi. I'm a long time player of the Sims, I've been playing the game since TS2 on PS2. LOL I feel so ancient now! I'm 26 now but still a huge Sims fan. I have autism, ADHD and struggling with depression and my mental health but still play the Sims 4 pretty much every single day. It keeps me busy and active, and I really enjoy it! Best game ever! Just taking things one step one day at a time and Simming as I go... :-)

    Last in my current main save Rosie has been learning to play guitar, not really for a specific reason, just because she's interested in trying a new hobby and she didn't enjoy cooking so I'm hoping she will enjoy this. She's still had no luck with dating (I feel her pain. LOL!) but I'm going to let her keep trying, hoping she'll meet the right guy eventually. She tidied the house and then her shower broke, but no time to call in repairman, she had to go to work. But her needs weren't the best, so no promotion for Rosie...
    I left her on her movie night. She seemed to be having fun. Hoping for another fun session of Sims later on.

    Love and peace to everyone x

    Hi, Geeky, nice to have you join us. Don't feel old, I've been playing Sims since August of 2005. I'm closing in on 68 and still loving this game.

    It's over. I am going to kick out Oliver as soon as he graduates from uni, so one more sim week to go. He is just so annoying - he hates children, crowds and pretty much anything fun and is constantly either jealous or sad because his younger siblings have more exciting lives than he: Jaime is engaged and Lucie is - despite being a ghost - sleeping with the hottest guy in town. I'll better move in Hayley (Jaime's fiance), as she is around most of the time anyway, may as well make it official.

    I ran out of time to convey what went on in my game yesterday. Erik, Joey and Brianna graduated early. Have to wait on Aaron (face/palm). I had the three apply for scholarships. Went to the Golden household to make certain homework got done and to send them to school. Sadly, no invitation to graduate early, but there's time. I can either hope it plays out so that they can attend uni as Teens, or I can reduce how many days into their Teens each of them is. Must ponder this some more. I need both Kayleigh and Aaron to graduate early, but they are living in separate households and it's a sad fact that an unplayed household doesn't attend work, or school. Face/palm. I had so hoped this was changed with the HSY, but no. I still have 37 days before Infants, right? Erik finished composing his twenty-second song, by the skin of his teeth! I was going to follow them to school this time, but he had just that little bit to go when I got the popup to go or to send alone. I sent alone. Soon as that decision was made, Erik finished the song. :open_mouth: He was asked that first day to graduate early, I didn't hesitate this time. Oh, and I forgot to mention, he licensed his second song, and this time I got the notification he was nominated. Happily, he went on Sunday and won. Two down, so many more to go!

    So glad to see the forum format is back. THANK YOU, EA.

    I tried and tried to like Oliver, but I just couldn't. So from now on, Esme and Gunther only ever had three children. Oliver who? Never heard of him.
    Also, after days of wondering where did she put it, I found Lucie's missing textbook from inside of a wall. Only in Sims.

    Blue got accepted into UNI and started right into study. Well maybe not too too hard.

    Kayleigh Golden finally graduated early! YAY. And just in time, too. She put in applications for scholarships right away as Thursday was Thanksgiving and Erik and his brothers and sister were heading off to Britechester-U early Friday morning. Kayleigh was able to join them at Wyvern Hall, which went through a nice renovation. New paint, a row of countertops, a mini-fridge, coffee maker, popcorn maker, hot pot. A microwave sits on the fridge. A new boombox, a gaming table in the study hallway and in the TV room, a nice chess table. Each desk also had a high-end computer on it, too, including the one on the dining table. Yes, Britechester is a high class, prestigious place of Higher Learning. (At least you get more bang for your buck, you know?)

    The students moved in and began right away to work on their homework. Four classes' worth for each of them. I also discovered a lot Trait this go-around, which helps students study faster. It works! Erik got two classes' worth of homework complete before he jetted off to hold a concert. Returned and finished the second two classes' work. Then, he and the others began to work on their Presentation boards, to get those out of the way. Erik even had time to begin a Term paper. He intends to ask Kayleigh to the Prom, since they had fun at the first prom. She asked him to go. While he no longer has the ability to do a Promposal, as such, he will be certain to see if going is something she would like to do.

    I feared I would run out of time, now I'm afraid I'm a little ahead of schedule. LOL

    So, I have been playing a bit more with my Sims 4 game, I have been taking a bit of a break from my new games,
    Today, I went into the same save file as my Judith Ward family. I currently 35 families in that save file. Some are as low as three members and as many as 7-8 members. Most of them are a mixture of Sims and pets. Some families I haven't played in a long time.
    Anyway, today I edited my Mermaid family, last time their two adopted daughters were aged to teen. I decided to give them their own biological child. I gave them a son, and named him Finn, so his full name is Finn Wolfe. His mothers are Aqua Marine, and Pearl Wolf. Next time I play, I plan to play the family more.
    I visited briefly with another family, and they had a toddler that I aged into a child. While playing having her mom make her a cake, their neighbors were loud next door, which angered the family. Romance was going on, but when I had the dad knock on the door, one of my other Sims came out. The thing is, her roommates are all female, so she either hooked up with them when I wasn't playing her, or she found herself a man. It was actually pretty funny.
    Finally, I created a Sim I named Luna Howle, who was a werewolf. I made a young adult version, and a teen version in the same save file. Both versions of her moved in with other Sims, which were Raven the Vampire, Pearl the Mermaid, and Erna the Spellcaster. Raven instantly hated Luna, but avoided her, rather than attack her, it was the same for both versions. Young adult Erna adopted Luna as her dependent.

    I haven't played for a few years, even the newly installed EA App couldn't remember the last time I played, felt the urge to play again as nothing else is striking my fancy. I've played every main game and a few spin-offs over the years.

    I'm a serial restarter, but I'm hoping I've settled on this save where I started with no house, no money, and no clothes. I have got through the first season (Summer). The welcoming fruitcake sustained me for a while, now I'm buying food from street vendors. I bought a t-shirt from the Geek Con, and my bed is now inside four walls.

    My Sim is trying to find his soul-mate, but is now beginning to get very angry from unfulfilled ambitions. His first target of affection lost all interest after the seond date.

    I made Gunther (oc son of Bella and Mortimer, not Gunther Munch), a sim whose appearance I never gave much thought about, cut his hair and now he is hot and I am confused. Wasn't expecting that.
  • GalacticGalGalacticGal Posts: 28,284 Member
    Yesterday in my game, the hotpot suddenly went 'missing'. I replaced it, of course. But, even as Joey had something cooking, (he was monstrously hungry at this point) who should avail themselves of the content, hotpot and all? Izzy Fabulous. He just started showing up at the dorm, too. I think he's the one who pinched the first hotpot. Scoundrel. I replaced it a second time, then suddenly Izzy was right there. I had Brianna 'make him leave' via MCCC. The hotpot is still there. Yay! The kids officially began their first Term at Britechester-U. Happily, most have given their presentations and Term papers have been submitted. Aaron found himself having a crush on Kayleigh, but quickly sought to get over it. (Glad to know that interaction works.) Crushing on his brother's fiancée just is just bad juju. Phew, dodged that Phaser blast.

    Since classes were over for Thursday, Erik invited his household members, plus one, to dine out at The Old House Bar & Grille in Willow Creek. They enjoyed steak and Van Haute Meloire and then returned to Wyvern Hall to get some much-needed sleep. Erik also left in the wee hours for yet another concert (he released album number four, after all) and another photoshoot. Cha-ching, cha-ching.

    Erik is up for his fourth Best Song Accolade, with Sunday drawing near in my game. The week is moving along rather quickly this time, and soon the term will be over. I'm trying to ponder what I should do to slow things down just a tad. I went from feeling panicked as I thought I was way behind schedule to feeling like there's way too much time leftover. :open_mouth: I suppose I could put any pregnancy on pause, if it comes to that. But it was harder on me than I thought it would be to keep aging off in the other save. I'll see what happens. The wedding still needs to be planned and the Event(s) need to play out. Plus, the first Term isn't quite over, yet. If one or more do poorly, they'll either have to make up the grades by taking the class over again, or I'll have to extend them to a fourth term. ::Shrugs::
