As promised, I played my brand new family in my Cantrell game save today. An interesting little story presented itself, which allowed for me to capture some screenshots.
Gem glanced at their new quarters and while she decided the house was far homier than the basic Base-housing she was used to, she was still a little sad. Gem didn't make friends too easily. Her father was in the military and the family moved around so much. As soon as she made friends, which in middle school she stopped trying, it was time to pack up and move to the next base. She hated it. As a compensation, her parents got her two female Beagle puppies. Gem also found she was signed up to a dog-training class. Her mother, Margaret, known as Maggie also took the class. With two puppies having two to train them just made it easier. A couple of years later and Gem was a big sister. She guessed her parents thought a Sim-companion would be better. Gem had a little brother, Treat.
Gem walked into the Tudor-style house and on out to the deck. She filled the dog-feeders to the brim with the new bag of dog chow. She called the now adult dogs. The two came at a fast-break. Tea, the tri-color Beagle was a glutton. Normally, Lemon (because she was of the Beagle shade of lemon) and because no well-bred Sim would ever have tea without lemon.
When she turned to grill up some lunch, she became aware that Tea was growling. A low, warning rumble from her furry throat. Glancing over her shoulder, she was in time to see the dogs get into it. She also caught that Lemon had coyly approached her sister's bowl. Lemon was getting bold in her adolescence. Most of the time she took a nibble from her bowl and just walked away. Very un-Beagle-like. Almost as if to invite Tea to have her bowl of chow, too. The pups were just two Sim years old.
While Gem scolded Tea for her aggression, Lemon left the deck. Later on Gem couldn't find her — at all. Getting on her small laptop right away, she put out a lost pet alarm. Then she cried.
How was her poor, lost pet supposed to find their new home again? They had only just arrived. Gem hadn't even had a chance to take them on a walk around their immediate neighborhood to get them acquainted. What was she to do now? Battling tears again, she decided to look around. "Hey, Treat, come on let's canvas the neighborhood. Maybe she's just on the next street over."
"Okay, but I think Dad calls it reconnaissance or something."
The two walked for what seemed like hours. Finally, they found themselves at the top of the hill that overlooked the town. What a big house. Gem thought as she dared to knock on the door.
Somewhere inside this huge place she heard someone call, "Come in!"
Looking around, Gem could find no-one. The place was very nicely appointed, almost as if royalty lived here. Certainly, they were of the Upper Crust. Tentatively, she took the illumined, winder stairs to the second floor. Gazing to her right she saw an open bedroom door and came to the door. A teen girl was inside.
"Hi," Gem greeted. "Somebody said come in, so I'm in. I'm Gem Woodworth, we just moved here."
"I'm Brianna Cantrell. Dad inherited this place when Grand Uncle Joseph, whom my dad was named for, passed away. We've been here since the start of summer. Come take a seat and tell me what's wrong."
"How — what makes you think something's wrong?"
<a href="https://imgur.com/4vJQq2D"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/4vJQq2D.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>
Brianna shrugged her shoulders. "Sometimes, I just know things. So, what is it?"
"One of my Beagles is missing. Her sister fought with her and then she just— left. You haven't seen any dogs just wandering around, have you?" Gem got up off the bed. "Here I have a picture of her."
"What a beautiful dog. Is she what's called a lemon? She's got that nice almost tawny color spots and white all over."
"Yes, here's a better shot of her."
"Oh, I just can't bear the thought of her being out at night and so all alone," Brianna said. "Did you post a lost dog alert on your phone or computer?"
"Yes, I did that the moment I realized she wasn't hiding in the house anywhere. I called out for her, too. Normally, she comes right away. This time she didn't," Gem's voice caught. "You said, sometimes you just know things. Do you — do you know where she is? Will we find her?"
"I wish I had an answer for you. But, I don't control what I know or when I'll know it. Where do you live? And let me have your phone number, that way, i-ff — when she turns up I can either bring her to you, or you can come get her. Okay?"
"Oh, thank you, Brianna, was it? You're the best."
"My friends call me Bree."
I am so excited to "announce" that my sim adopted a retired greyhound! His name is Willie. My sim is leaving for college soon so Willie will be staying only with my sim's mother for some time.
He is a happy happy dog!
Willie's day usually consists of
cuddling!
sleeping
resting
eating
cuddling again
taking a walk
which he finds pretty exhausting, btw.
napping after walk
relaxing on his favorite couch
chilling with humans
checking on humans from a sofa
taking some more naps in the garden
scratching belly
and sleeping for the 20th time for the day
My sim Rafael was a little dumb.
I wanted him to sunbathe a little bit, but when it got darker.. he decided to do something else..still in his bum. :')

What are the dogs doing in the first spoiler
Fighting!. I should have snapped a picture of the dust-cloud that happened immediately after this shot.
I just finished watching The Umbrella Academy S2. It gave me the idea to make a family inspired by them in a way.
The Grimshaw Family. They're on the gallery if you want them. The Grimshaw Family
I wanted to play some of the characters from Community so I attempted to recreate them in game. Attempted is the key word here, as I doubt anyone would recognize them on the spot without being told BUT that's not the point is it Now I hope even more that we get a Star Wars pack because: TROY AND ABED IN SPAAAAAAAACE TIME!
Anyway, here they are (or well, Abed, Troy, Annie, Britta & Jeff, anyway ) - yeah, I know, Jeff turned out particularly bad, and Britta really isn't easy to make either (but I'm generally really really bad at recreating real life chars, so whatever)
Erik was having quite the week. He won Sunday's Karaoke Night contest, went home and produced a tract, sending it out right away. Next thing he knew he went from Notable Newcomer to Rising Star.
Not long afterward, Dinky Beats, hearing his tract signed him up. Erik put out another tract, the very next day. In fact, he made two, but only released the one. Raised not to put off things to the very last minute, he decided it best to always stay a little ahead of the game. Before long, he was called by an Agent, who invited him to put on a concert. Erik was amazed. "I get to pick the venue?" he laughed, a tad nervously. "Oh, that's easy. There's a brand new venue in Oasis Springs, called Open Air Concert." The agent was familiar with this venue and worked with Erik to set things up.
"Now, come the time of the Event, you'll have to get down there early and do a sound check. You know what a sound check is, right?"
"Oh, sure," came Erik's reply. "I check out the equipment and make sure the sound fills the arena, right?"
"Basically, just make sure the sound is good."
"Okay."
Something Erik didn't expect was that he wasn't alone as he stepped up to the machine.
"Uh, the concert's tonight," he told the Paparazzi.
"Yep, I know, but I figured you wouldn't want us on the stage with you. So, now is a better time to get the snapshots. Hey, look this way, will you?"
As Erik continued to check things out, he was astounded at the small crowd that amassed. He only sang one song. He figured the sound must be carrying down the canyon, or something. This is crazy.
Erik left the venue and headed back to Del Sol Valley. He heard a brand new park was opening up on the other side of town. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I can find that little lost dog for our new neighbor.
Erik didn't find the dog, but he found a lot of Sims who were also checking out this new park. He walked across the stone bridge and sat down at a chess table. He needed to relax for just a bit. What was I thinking?
The Sim was gorgeous, but loud. She sat across from him and screamed, waving her hands as if she didn't know quite what to do with them. Trying to keep his cool, he just smiled and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Erik Cantrell. I live up on the hill," he said, pointing.
"AH! I know and I can't believe I'm talking to — YOU!"
As the girl got up more Sims came over. Isn't that Belle from algebra class, last semester?
There was a whole line of them. They acted all strange, almost stunned. This was all so very new to Erik and he was overwhelmed. Suddenly, a little girl approached him. She was just so excited that Erik smiled and acted all excited too. At least when she screamed, it didn't pierce his ears this time. She was just so cute.
Erik spied the skating rink and decided he really just needed some time alone.
Slipping off his flip flops, he stuck his feet into a pair of ice skates. The day was hot and he thought that maybe the coolness wafting upward from the ice rink would do him some good. Now, true enough it wasn't real ice, but there was a cooling aspect about it. Before long, he lamented his decision. He was rather wobbly on his blades. Bad idea, Erik, bad idea!
Happily, he recovered his balance. That was close. I spoke too soon! Oof, that hurt. Time to get off the ice. Maybe if I hurry, nobody and their cameras will notice? That would make for an interesting magazine cover.
"Whoa, Sim out-of-control! Watch out, there!"

Ohhh I love these guys (will probably download them later, I've got a save that's perfect for them)! Hadn't seen this before! Idk if you need it but I once turned another simmer's build (by zlarb I think) into a magical boarding school. Looking at your kids, I was thinking you might like it haha (and you can always take out the magic stuff and replace it with alien things). Or not
had birthday today.
Mama proudly dresses her up in the clothes she knitted for her.
And this girl cuddles her soft bear that mama, as well, knitted with love only and only for her.
