@Thrior When there's no sims from active household on a lot, it's like that lot is frozen in time, I think. If I visit households with pets I have to fill their bowls and clean litterboxes, if they are not selfcleaning. If You want to ad selfcleaning litterboxes, You can do so by using cheat bb.enablefreebuild, on Lynx's lot f.ex. It's been years since I last visited Lynx though.
After some nice and relaxing days, trouble sets in for my poor sim. The mean phase is the one I like the least and hope it will be short!

I dunno...I thought there was something poetic about my last screenshot...
Anyway, I was trying to find a suitable Photo-Op for Captain Christmas in Slapland (Sim version of Lapland), when all of a sudden he got ambushed by a Father Winter Elf.
Don't worry, it's a territorial thing. Quite normal.
As for Captain...let's just say he survived.
Guess who was the Mastermind behind the attack?
That's right. Babbity Wabbity.
Whatever looks adorbs in Slapland should not be trusted.
Do not trust these things. Look at them conspiring.
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Seems Rafa is even more tricksy than I knew. He invited Brezo (his old friend from Selvadorada, who fairly recently made contact again after they were long estranged) to come to his house to hang out... But he neglected to mention that it was almost time for him to go to work. So Brezo had to mind little Gisela instead. But that's ok, because he's Gisela's other parent, anyway.
(Actually, the toddler disappeared "to daycare" right after I took the shot, but storywise Brezo - whom I was playing at the time - stayed and took care of her, lol.)
FYI: Just because you can see my signature, don't assume that I can see yours.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Created these two to be parents to Ukupanipo Hekekia
(I made kid version of him to do a mini story)
But I have no idea what to name them
ideas?
(should it somehow matter I like to think the dad comes from Selvadorada
and Mom from Sulani
+
moms traits are family oriented, loves outdoors, child of the island
dad is adventurous, maker and loves outdoors as well)

You could name them after a location. Out of curiosity, I googled "cities in Peru" and found some that I thought would work for the dad. I'm sure it would work for any nation. I have named several sims after geographical locations - cities, states, rivers, etc. It feels more exotic than calling them by a name I hear hundreds of times. And if I don't know the language, that's okay with me. I could be calling a sim "turnip juice" but still think it sounds awesome.
It's a two-fer because my elder Sim couple (the parents of my favorite Sim, in my profile pic) both just made lifetime achievements in the same day. Star maxed her rocket science skill and finally made it to Sixam after working on a rocket her entire life, and Nobuya maxed his handiness skill and finally made it to Forgotten Grotto, lifelong collector that he is. He only has a few more days so it's a great accomplishment for him.
My username has been my internet handle for over 20 years since I was 16 and refers to when I had a crush on a very tall boy. I intend absolutely no violence toward beautiful giraffes.
@Simmingal Your sims are beautiful. You can search for names of their countries or maybe even regions. Then see if the meaning of some names apeal to You and if the sound of the names are just right.
@GirafHuntr There's nothing like having a favorite sim and then You even have her parents in your game, awesome!
This is my favorite, a teen, BokDong Kim, named after a korean woman (name has a - between Bok and Dong, but Gallery would not allow that)
It's late, after school and work at her Vet Clinic, so she is ready to sleep.

@Svineprutter Thank you! I had the parents first. Star was a beloved Sim of mine in Sims 2 who I recreated in 4. Star and her sister Amber were daughters of Castor Nova and Tiffany Sampson. I didn't plan for Castor and Tiffany's granddaughter to become my favorite Sim, I just fell for her when she was born in-game. I loved Sims 2 so much, and recreating familiar characters and carrying on their families was how I came to love Sims 4.
BokDong is wonderful too!

@GirafHuntr - There's something really beautiful about the elder couple reaching their life goals during the same day and doing such amazing adventures.
This interaction still cracks me up. Edmund: "Omg dad that's such an awesome vampire costume." Axel: "Uh-huh. One I've been unable to part with for 20+ years."
I... have to admit that this story wandered off the path I thought it would take. Yes, Rafa and Brezo (who inherited the nickname of Chefe after his father died) did have a child together, but I assumed it would be a one-off thing. It was meant to be a way to prove they were both serious about their new business partnership in which they decided to combine their talents to build a new criminal empire of their own. Just business, that's what all this was meant to be, and that made sense for both of them. Neither of them had a history of romantic entanglements involving actual emotions (plenty of fake ones, though). And although Rafa is bi, he's been with way more women than men. But clearly none of that matters because they apparently decided to completely wreck my idea of how things were gonna go.
Rafa asked a certain couple of questions, and somehow things... escalated. This was pretty much all autonomous stuff, by the way. These were my last two screenshots, because the second one is sort of needed to explain the one just prior. Nope, I did not see this one coming, not from Rafa.
If anyone wonders, I'm letting them go ahead and take this path, because weird outcome (to me) though it is, it also seems weirdly fitting for them at the same time. Oh, but it still remains to be seen whether or not Rafa's famous lone-wolf portrait over his bed will one day include others.

@Simmingal Ah yes, I recognize them as Carlos Campos from up the hill and his wife Kamea Kalua from down the beach.
But I could be mistaken. ๐

Oh yes that is absolutely Carlos Campos and his wife Kamea Kalua
I was little puzzled over the wife but that just must be her name for i couldn't think of anything more suitable
I must thank you for reminding me of their lovely names
