    @emorrill Whoa, that dragon. It looks awesome. A good while ago I was looking for dragons, any kind I would find, in case I should need it for a story line of mine, but never found any... wish you remember where you found it. :P

    Hehe, I have seen a sim taste the rain once before, and I think it resulted in one of the better screenshots I have taken. :P
    4ai14EM.jpg
    She is also one of the toddlers (a pair of dizygotic twins) I used to playtest the medieval stroller cart thing.. This is her in adult form, though she never quite grew up properly, and is still a child at heart..

    It hasn't been updated for a long time, but I haven't forgotten about this storyline that she is from. I may continue it one day. There is actually one or two chapters written for it that I have yet to post/play through... when I feel like it... <_< >_>




    SPOILER ALERT......


    And somewhere down the line there, is where the dragon may or may not come in handy...

    ^Hee hee. :blush:
    Thanks girl. <3

    @Sprottenham I've found TONS of medieval cc from Murfeelee (MurfeeL for short) at their site and happened upon these dragons that you could download. :smiley:

    ^It's possible the dragon I have came from this set. 👍🏻

    I see (what you talked about in the Spoiler). :) Well, hopefully those dragons will help. :mrgreen:

    By the way, here is my next update that also features a birthday.. it's a long one again.

    Chapter 19.4 – Sunset Valley April 2023: part II – Walters birthday.


    'Chain Reaction' - Edwin Dolinski (Sim City 4 soundtrack).

    Alright, brace yourself for another birthday party, because this time it's Walters turn.. After this ine though, there won't be anyone transitioning to the next age group for a good while. :P

    Sim profile:
    Full name: Walter Motor-Karlsen
    Date of birth: April 14th , 2017.
    Personality traits: Easily impressed, insane.
    Family tree:
    zgWYQTW.png

    --

    9SYjY9m.jpg

    Now before we can really start.. I like that the first thing I see is Kleopatra dreaming about evading the police. ;)

    UY8NghT.jpg

    Eivind is the first to wake up, because of his sleeping schedual that is adjusted to his work hours. He is happy and excited to pick up his son and let him out of the crib.."Happy birthday, Walter! Today is gonna be a special day for you..."

    ycM3mvZ.jpg

    Both Eivind and Sofie have the day off today, perfect for preparing to celebrate Walters birthday. Walter walks into the bathroom to play with the toilet... and Eivind decides to spend the quiet early morning moment upgrading the computer, to prevent it from breaking again... Sofie has some interesting dreams in the back there.. "No, no fighting... please, don't fight..."

    Sofie was only a toddler when she overheard her parents fighting from the room next door, the day before their divorce.. The situation had built up steadily for a while, with their fighting constantly getting louder and louder until it exploded that one day and the fists came out..
    Her older brother Jonathan wasn't at home when it happened. Since he was a child and had the option to move around a lot more freely than Sofie, he rarely was, and with good reason.. Home wasn't a particularly good place to be then for a while..
    Now, I didn't just sit there and watch this back in the day. I tried to fix their parents relationship, but it just couldn't be done. Then just like now, I played rotationally, and when I returned to their household, it had gotten so bad, even the positive, friendly interactions that I tried, resulted in them disliking each other even more... There was really only one way this could end...
    And it all started when Asgeir, their father, was invited over to his neighbours house for a barbecue.. Egil had something to tell him, something the entire town knew, except Asgeir.. that Lucie was having an affair at work, with Beau Andrews.. and Beau was still married to Victoria! Another marriage that went south shortly thereafter...

    fMsDuUa.jpg

    When Sofie wakes up, she's not feeling to well and she wants to spend some time on her own. She goes to pick up Walter from the bathroom and place him on the bedroom floor alongside his dad, still working to upgrade the computer, before she tells him she'll head out to Bjerkedammen (Pinochle Pond) to go fishing for a while..

    mPl8WX1.jpg

    Over the years, the town council have upgraded several of the lots around town. The cabin in the background was built in the early 1990s, and it features beds, a small bathroom and a dining area, as well as a barbecue grill and a park bench outside. And it's free to use for all Sunset Valley residents, all year round.

    Yr4Rz9R.jpg

    Sofie has another idea with going fishing. She wants to catch a fish using live bait, and then prepare a meal later using that fish.. but first, she has to catch the bait... there is a wild salad plant growing on the edge of the lot, where she can go to harvest salad to use as bait until then..

    Itsh2lv.jpg

    She stands there trying her luck all the way until sunrise, until finally she gets her bait, a gold fish. Sofie doesn't know it, but she reminds me a lot of her mom after she got kicked out of the house following the divorce, because this is excactly what Lucie used to do back then, to go fishing. Lucie never visited the house afterwards and her father never spoke any of her, so Sofie never really got to know her mom until she became a young adult and moved out on her own.

    6bN4IZ0.jpg

    While Sofie is up there fishing and catches another fish, a kissing gouramis, using the gold fish as bait Kleopatra wakes up and she looks really sad too. This looks like a bad morning for the ladies of the household..

    DA11emK.jpg

    I didn't catch the moment when Sofie caught the kissing gouramis, since I watched Kleopatra get out of bed to eat breakfast, but I can only assume that Sofie was really happy, as it fulfilled her wish of doing so.

    1BJzrMY.jpg

    Sadness returned to her face though, as she packed up her fishing rod and decided to head back home..

    Continues in spoiler.
    ER65PGO.jpg

    Kleopatra was already on the school bus by the time she walked in the door. This didn't look like a good day at all for Sofie..

    B3PSiAj.jpg

    Maybe some housework would distract her from bad thoughts (She is used to that..)

    4ee6x55.jpg

    It was excursion day for the kids at school, as they were heading up to the mausoleum at the Pleasent Rest graveyard, and look who sat down next to Kleopatra.. I can't tell if she enjoys this or not, though, but someone definately finds her interesting...

    hsYV1GA.jpg

    Running towards the mauseloum. Running ahead of her is her cousin Bjørn-Yngve that had his birthday party last month.

    DtmwKW8.jpg

    Back home Sofie was watching the romance channel with Walter, when he told her in his own way he was getting tired and wanted to go to bed..

    EPauQEs.jpg

    He needs the rest so he can be awake for his birthday party later. Putting him to sleep changes the look on Sofies face and she finally smiles a little..

    MrweHyo.jpg

    ..but it doesn't take long before she's back to muttering and feeling grumpy again as Eivind walks over because he wants to give her a hug. It's spring, things are floating in the air, and love day is soon coming up...

    FDXFpYi.jpg

    Sofie rewards him with a small kiss on the mouth, before they have a friendly conversation about the former national league football player Hillmund Norzing that went on an expedition to climb the Simalayan mountains where he unfortunately came across a yeti (allegedly) on the way down and uh.. well... after which Sofie likens it to an almost fictional story before she continues to flirt with Eivind.

    qEF79vs.png

    The mood is all fine and good until Eivinds demons 'finally' succeeds in overcoming his willpower to get the better of him, and he delivers an inappropriate critisicm of their son..

    ap8eie5.png

    ..which unfortunately doesn't end well, and they go each their seperate ways and doesn't really talk to each other for a while. Apart from when they have to cooperate to invite guests and decorate for the upcoming birthday, neither of which seem to heighten Sofies mood much..

    17bSpOV.jpg

    Being grumpy or sometimes in a bad mood is something Sofie has inherited from her father. So it happens from time to time that she's not excactly feelling like she's on top of the world, but this is the first time I've seen her consistently look this sad. Even when she goes to the kitchen to prepare a meal from the kissing gouramis she caught earlier, something that she wishes to do.

    u9AeEyW.jpg

    ..but we'll get through this day, even if it feels like a bit of a drag. Atleast cooking is still enjoyable. I'm also sure you can square it out with your husband later, I mean, you've already been married for longer than your parents were...

    gWaEuVp.jpg

    See, Sofie, that looks nice! A perfectly well cooked meal of Dim Sum with a fresh fish from this morning as a main ingredient! ;)

    Sofie: Oh.. atchoo...!

    aCHbyPT.jpg

    "Of course I just had to sneeze all over it.. guess I won't be serving this one to the guests, I don't want to be responsible for someone dying from eating my food... is this the day where everything is supposed to go wrong? I guess so.... sometimes I wish I could just trade in this lemon of a life and get my money back..."

    Whoa there, Sofie.. ! You were just unlucky.. it was probably just some pollen in the air that you made you sneeze.. whatever has happened, in the near or distant past, isn't your fault anyway, there wasn't really anything you could've done about it, so don't be so hard on yourself, ok...? Phew, that was a bit heavy, but we have to move on to more cheerful matters, as your sons birthday party is about to begin soon, and the guests are already on their.. uh..

    QE24CKR.png

    ..well, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. May I introduce to you Sofies mom that just decided to get married for the second time on her grandsons birthday... the timing couldn't have been better..

    a0vyVqR.jpg

    Some more guests that are on their way to arrive, from back left to front right (relation to birthday child in paranthesis): Ranveig Motorsen (aunt), Mohamed Khaled (friend of the family), Helene Kråke-Motorsen (aunt), Asgeir Karlsen (grandfather mothers side), Otto Hillestad (he's a stranger to Walter and wasn't invited, but he has Kleopatra as his love interest...), Monica Motor-Notesen (aunt) and Jonathan Kråke-Karlsen (uncle).

    MqVdX84.jpg

    Ivar, Monicas husband (in the back talking to Sofie), and the grandparents on the fathers side, Eirin (in the back in the blue swimsuit) and Ingmar (not on this picture), was also invited. Eivind has picked up some rumours about what Kleopatra did just yesterday at the rebel hangout.. He promises not to tell Sofie that she lied to her about bowling, but at the same time he warns her not to get in any trouble with the police...

    AQK35AH.jpg

    Especially since Eivind works in the military, he doesn't want a daughter already getting in trouble with the law... "If I catch you again lying to your mom or me and vandalizing public property, I'll have you grounded with no telephone.. you gotta follow my rules when you're in my home... is that understood?"

    GvHChqR.jpg

    These grandmothers, I don't know what's up with them.. Grandma Eirin does something I think is wildly inappropriate, handing over flowers to Jonathan. The worst part is, he accepts them like a fool and flirts back...

    EfBkDG8.jpg

    Well, it could be that grandma Eirin was just being clever, and used her flirting techniques as a way to get to interrogate Jonathan.. She was a retired top level police officer where she worked as a DNA profiler in the forensic specialist branch (her lifetime wish), and was rehired to lead the investigation of a human trafficking case from october last year. Since then they just kept her at the office since they found her so valuable with all her experience.. Well, she certainly has her methods.. they may be a little unethical, but as long as they work...

    juPUxy6.jpg

    Then it's time for the main event, and Eivind has gone to wake up Walter and bring him upstairs. This is where the party really begins... ;)

    x1uuvcN.jpg

    Blow out the candles and make a wish! And feel free to ignore your sister in the background there, she's being stupid... :P

    7gJlbbp.jpg

    It's time for the big moment! Soon it will happen...

    YuKxZnE.jpg

    ..oh oh... and look at grandma.. It doesn't look like she's there to celebrate her grandson.. she just got married, and now she's there giving flowers to her son-in-law! What is going on with the grandmothers in this town... please...

    i7NRrtH.jpg

    Not very popular with anyone, and grandpa came around the corner just in time to watch her get rejected, too.. somehow I guess he's not to surprised his ex-wife would do something like that... and now you see why she's an ex-wife...

    XntFUd6.jpg

    Also, Walter didn't really feel comfortable in the clothes he ended up aging up in, so he went downstairs to his room to find the dresser and change his outfit into something more comfortable, before he went on to eat cake. ;)

    psLt63Q.jpg

    The cake eating sequence always ends up being a bit of a mess, but everyone ends up getting a piece eventually, and Sofie is finally enjoying herself, too. Here she is in a conversation with Ivar about the fishing trip she had this morning.

    WisDx3e.jpg

    Walter is probably the smartest of them all, avoiding all the mess around the dining table by immediately going for the sofa. ;)

    fpOF9fa.png

    Not all the guests, such as grandma Eirin or his uncle Jonathan, paid as much attention to Walter aging up as he thinks they should have, so he finds himself walking the round to inform them it's his birthday, so they can congratulate him too. ;)

    whe47Wb.png

    Sofie is happy her brother Jonathan came to the party, and wants to talk to him, but... he walks away and Sofie is left alone..

    "Why does everyone always leave me...?" she thinks, before bitterness takes hold for a while and she mutters a small curse at the world...

    ..but he's her brother, so why give up so easily? She gives it another shot and follows him inside where they have a friendly conversation about movies and rediscover that they share the good trait... and he tells her to do some cleaning.. just like the old days...

    They inherited the good trait from their mom, Lucie, and yes, she is actually a good person.. but she's also very easily impressed and, well, easily swept off her feet by any sweet talking man with noble or sometimes less noble intentions.. Back in the day she had already made quite a lot of money on her medical career, and if you know Beau Andrews, you'll know that his ambition in life is to marry rich like the filthy, lazy gold digger that he is...

    doQ8t1R.jpg

    One of Walters uncles Ivar is providing some entertainment by playing a song called 'Mechanix', a song he claims he wrote when was working part time at a gas station and garage fixing cars back in the day (in spite of having zero handiness skill when he married Monica...). It was one of the hits, as he called it, from his old band (that he got kicked out of....) I guess he's gotten over the worst of the bitterness of his old band mates could just do something like that to him...

    gP2DcZz.jpg

    Inside grandma Lucie had joined Walter on the couch to play video games, while his aunt Helene had sat down next to them to enjoy a meal. While playing, Lucie decided to share the good news that she had just gotten married earlier on the same day...

    VenBSSu.jpg

    Sofie heard what she said from the dining area and was not very impressed...

    h6VNyDB.png

    Kleopatra walks inside from the balcony where Ivar is still playing his old songs, to finally give her gift to Walter.

    "Happy birthday, brother!"

    Kleopatra had bought him a football to play with outside, and by football, I of course mean the type of ball used in the game called just that – football. A game where you use your foot to kick a ball in the direction of the opposing teams goal, and where it is illegal to pick up said ball with your hands, because that's not football... ;)

    GHAlNo0.jpg

    Ivar had finally stopped playing outside, the party was coming to an end and people were starting to find their way home. Bedtime was soon here for Walter as well, so he walked out on the balcony to find grandpa and ask him for a good night story.

    iYeWnlW.png

    Mom, dad and Kleopatra was already asleep as Walter walked past the gift from his mom in the hallway to show grandpa the way to his new room. Grandpa was happy and had all intentions to read for Walter, but then the bell tolled and he decided to go home instead..

    Cg3w5O6.png

    He went back upstairs to ask his aunt Monica instead, but she was just about the leave, too. He considered for a second to ask grandma Lucie as she was now the last guest remaining, but figured it wasn't worth it. He was already much to tired after this day, and went straigth to bed..

    cy7uPfH.jpg

    Shortly thereafter grandma went home to, without even finishing the hot dog she had just started eating, and leaving all the plates for the parents to clean up by tomorrow morning.. and that marked the end of this party...

    tOMXfKP.jpg

    Good night. ;)

    More from me everyone! :mrgreen:

    Testing Medieval CC Shenanigans Part 6

    The other day I found some hay bale furniture on TSR that I am loving so much right now! :lol: Don't ask me why, sometimes the simplest things give me a happy. :p They are very cheap so perfect for poor families, like the peasants in medieval times.

    Here's the single bed:

    52681370403_ba535182bd_c.jpg
    ^It's got some flaws, but whatevs.

    And I believe this is a "table and chair" :lol:

    52680870331_0873c49a3f_c.jpg

    Check out the rest of the items in the set by clicking on the link above. ^ :)

    I found Chase looking like he was dozing off on the straw couch for a moment:

    52681368358_96dc1bb65c_c.jpg

    I had to zoom in. <3

    52680352742_c5741da328_c.jpg
    Oh Chase... 😍 *smitten sigh*


    Anyway, while I was there on TSR I also found this bed:

    52681154549_3d6f00f648_c.jpg

    Which is a part of the "Medieval Slayer Furniture" by MajikGoldy - which they did not assemble into one downloadable set on there like most creators do which was a little annoying - but here's the Link to all of MajikGoldy's content.

    I will admit that some of their medieval cc is a little rough looking... Example here with the dresser that goes with the Slayer set:

    52681153909_3edb4cc111_c.jpg

    But with some pattern changes, they can look decent:

    52681153729_2362fe2250_c.jpg

    It's all about user preference. 👍🏻 The fact that I could make it look better, made me keep it.


    Ok THIS Partition! :love:

    52681304600_bee068a60c_c.jpg

    Which was the only workable item in a medieval bedroom set I stumbled upon after a Google search by Simalia. (Anyone familiar with that creator?) Unfortunately their beds and dressers, while very lovely looking, were corrupt cc.

    This is what happened to Suzette when she slept in the bed. :grimace:

    52681222279_c4f9e4bb4d_c.jpg

    And when she used the dresser her hands went all wonky. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of that, but needless to say I took that cc out. Which was a darn shame because it was beautiful furniture compared to MajikGoldy's furniture there... *clears throat*

    Anyhoo!


    I found another awesome dragon in Buy mode that I forgot I had! :smiley: In flight even!

    52680353477_167168812e_c.jpg

    Now that Suzette is enrolled in Homeschool she can do homework now, so I can now show off the default replacement homework notebook mod. Pretty cool eh? :grin:

    52681368758_1bffdeae4d_c.jpg
    ^I just wish it made the pencil into a quill, but I guess that's not possible. It's all good. It can't all be perfect. ;)

    Uh Chase, I'm not sure that's what one does when they are on that kind of table... :grimace::joy:

    52681153059_80bfc4bdb8_c.jpg

    How on earth do you clog up an outhouse toilet? :lol:

    52680868166_82fec56c72_c.jpg
    ^If you think about it, that's not water...
    Gross!!! 🤢🤣

    Normally I have the whole autonomously "presiding over the royal court" modded out in my normal game folder - because kids do it SO MUCH it's extremely annoying to me :grimace: - but I think it's a cute and very fitting thing for kids to play pretend in my medieval folder. :blush: Here's Suzette doing just that, being a boss queen. :lol::star:

    52680352252_ea2883629c_c.jpg
    If any of you know of a mod where kids will change right back into their Everyday clothing after "presiding over the royal court," please send a link my way. I would very much appreciate it. 👍🏻

    A pretty stray cat showed up at the door, thinking about money of all things. :lol:

    52681367498_747e45f4e4_c.jpg

    He was so pretty that I decided to add him to the active testing family household. 😸

    D'aw!!

    52681302310_1c9a2167b7_c.jpg




    Well that's it from me for now. I do have quite a bit more to share, but it can wait. ;) I don't want to spam y'all with back to back posts! :p


    Have fun simming everyone! 💜

    Hey Everyone! Awesome updates and stories! Last night, I decided to do a makeover on the Langerak Family. :) And it's also been a while since I posted a update on here.
    Iliana Langerak I didn't change much because she is already very pretty. The only thing I changed was her makeup. (EA sim makeup drives me nuts with all the weird colors. :s)
    u2nc5deq14lm.jpg
    Dustin Langerak I changed a lot. :lol: I think he looks better this way. :blush:

    Seriously Zelda? What is that makeup? :lol:

    I LOVE Zelda's new look. :heart:

    And finally, Kaylynn. She is so adorable. :blush: I love those braids on her. :heart:

    I've been working on my next Perfect Genetics video. Had a little mishap when my software froze and lost the last little bit I did on the video. Since I was really tired at the time I shut down and left it for the day. But today is another day and I'll be at it again soon. I just loaded it and I can see the bit I lost but it isn't too bad because I do save constantly.

    Hey everyone!

    Boy I sure had an eventful day today. I got offered a job! :smiley: Pretty much on the spot with no interview. I could hardly believe it, but I'm feeling very blessed. 🙏🏻 God is so good. <3 I start this Wednesday and it sure feels weird going back to work when it's been 17 years...
    But I'm excited! :grin: I look forward to what this new chapter will bring in my life.

    Anyway, here's more of:

    Emorrill's Testing Medieval CC Shenanigans - Part 7 :mrgreen:


    It was finally time to clean out the hay litterbox. :lol: (Chase figured that was the very first thing that needed to be addressed upon waking up. Lol!)

    52686678304_e146889a64_c.jpg

    I found this sweet furniture set on TSR (Art of Seduction - by Cashcraft) and I was mainly excited to try out the righteous looking bed. :)

    52686893933_339eee3954_c.jpg

    52686823400_198b730986_c.jpg

    Guess I don't care for the curtain thingy covering a sim's face while relaxing on it... :confused:

    But it's not too much of a problem while the sim is sleeping.

    52686397141_29280a634a_c.jpg

    I took this opportunity to try out another piece of bed related cc I found on TSR. Don't mind that these items don't match. :lol:

    52686397326_252b0962a4_c.jpg

    ^You can see the chair from the bedroom set a little bit there. It's very pretty furniture, but it conflicts with some other cc I have in the game - according to the Dashboard - and I don't like to have too much "conflicting" going on so for now, I decided not to keep the set in. But I might add it in at a later time to test the items more thoroughly. 👍🏻


    Once again Chase decided to play his Lute. In this shot it looks like he's covering up his nekkidness with it. :joy:

    52686894403_764af9c539_c.jpg

    A raccoon showed up at the lot next door. :grin: So I had the new kitty go over and greet it.

    *Synchronized sniffing*
    52686894748_c1fb3bc1f0_c.jpg

    Y'all if you haven't watched how raccoons and cats interact in the game you need to because it's adorable. <3

    They started play fighting. (Photo dump! :mrgreen: Sorry, not sorry.)

    52686679899_2cef2c1469_c.jpg

    Soon the other kitty came over to greet the raccoon. (New kitty doesn't like llamas apparently. :lol: )

    52686824860_bcd26b6fba_c.jpg

    More play-fighting. <3

    52686895708_a9e91c078f_c.jpg

    52686680414_fcb52786e5_c.jpg

    Something they did spooked new kitty. :joy: Cracked me up when I saw this!

    52686896048_4f0e478b8b_c.jpg

    Then the raccoon did this and I about died!!! <3<3<3

    D'awwww!

    Anyhoo, here's another random beautiful shot of Praaven mountain. :love:

    52686399566_cae2ab61fe_c.jpg

    Just your average time travelling Doctor/Scientist going about their business. :lol:

    52686681434_89a3fbc7e2_c.jpg

    Ugh...don't do that new kitty! :confounded:

    52686826185_b5ff430470_c.jpg


    Alright, back to business!

    So I found a cc hair accessory that is supposed to help cover up bad bald spots on certain cc hairs (which initially excited me about it) and it also provides a more realistic looking head when using this hairstyle so the rows between the braids aren't baby smooth bald.

    52685884857_99ab8d9376_c.jpg
    ^Don't mind that little purple spot on his temple there, it disappears in Live mode.

    Unfortunately though, the accessory makes some of my cc hairs with odd bald spots look worse than the bald spots themselves 🤷‍♀️ so...I took it out of my game and will save it for later if I ever feel like I need it.


    Back to lady testing sim (ie: Chase's new girlfriend) who is named Jennifer by the way. (I had to write it down to remember for when I posted about her again on here. :lol: )

    She came over to visit Chase and so I took that opportunity to dress her up in a different dress and give her a better blond hair color because her other color had the poo green highlights in it. :grimace: I don't know how I missed that, but yeah it had to go!

    She looks much better - and prettier - now. :)

    52685885062_118666f724_c.jpg

    She and Chase are developing some strong affections for each other. 💞 Honestly, the pair is growing on me. 🥰

    52686400371_457c399d5f_c.jpg

    I tried out a new hairstyle I found on Jennifer and oh my, I LOVE it!

    52686897658_20e83cb969_c.jpg

    So pretty!

    52686897743_0c6cddc9c0_c.jpg

    Chase approves. :smirk: Here he is giving her an amazing massage before kissing her. <3

    52686897903_50574cf619_c.jpg


    Here's a moment where I was dreaming with Chase in CAS...

    52686897458_aec43f4e88_c.jpg
    (Playing around with cc, really. ;) )

    After having fun with that, I decided to try out some new long hairs for males I found. (I realized I didn't have nearly as many as I thought I did :grimace: so I had to go cc hair hunting again! Cause yeah in medieval days not many folks had short hair... )

    Here's one style I found:

    52686827600_d43905201d_c.jpg

    This style is a bit...much for me, especially since I don't care for bangs covering the eyes, but I get the feeling I'll need it for a certain medieval character someday so I'm keeping it. :blush:

    52686396661_fba61dd50b_c.jpg


    Lastly, kitty was being naughty and was sleeping on the dinner table! :open_mouth: (I honestly didn't know they could do that...) So I had Chase shoo her off and the poor dear biffed it hard when she jumped off the table. :lol::cry:
    It was such a stinking cute misfortune to watch though, I was a hair bit late in capturing it, but here's the look on her face as she was standing back up. :lol: Poor baby...

    52686682119_b6a8954e08_c.jpg

    I'll capture the full biff later, just y'all wait and see. :smirk::lol:

    It's fun to discover game animations that you never knew existed. ;)




    Well anyway, that's it from me for now everyone. Hope y'all are doing well. :kissing_heart: Keep the posts coming! It was quiet over here this last weekend...

    Happy Simming!

    Oh yeah, for those of you who were reading my daughter's Horse Hearts story, she just posted an update over there since it's been a few months. Head on over and give it a read. :blush:

    Thank you to all of you who supported her on there and gave her such sweet compliments on her work. It meant so much to her. <3

    @Sprottenham The rainy day seems fitting to the sad atmosphere in the house... And even the school excursion trip means visiting the cemetery of course ;) . I hope the birthday party cheers everybody up. Well, grandma stole grandson's attention on his birthday then - ouch :# !
    Happy birthday anyway, Walter :) ! He's got a cute alien shirt.

    @emorrill Congratulations on the new job!! :star: That's great news!
    More nice medieval cc! That bed Suzette is trying to sleep in would be really pretty if it was working properly. The dragon looks awesome! And Chase looks so cute dozing off on the straw bale :love: .
    I like that straw litter box and think I might want it in my own game too. Do you remember where you found it?
    The pictures of the raccoon playing with the cats are adorable <3 .
    Jennifer's new hair is very beautiful :star: . Love it.


    Early morning in wintry Dragon Valley.

    @emorrill Oh, congratulations, that's great news! I haven't been without a job for very long in my life, so I can't say I know what it's like going without one for a longer period of time. All I know is I disliked the period where I was without one (which was only about a month...), and the process of filling out job application after job application. :P I have never gotten a job without having to do an interview first, though, so you must have been just the right worker for the job! ;)

    Also, I think the really long hair (the one that covers the eyes slightly) looks awesome. I have always been envious of dudes that can grow their hair out to such a length.. being a metal fan myself, I tried, but.. It never went past a little over shoulder length.. and then comes a dude that has to flip up his hair to not sit on it when he sits down and I'm like... :astonished: ...try not to stare.. ..anyway, point being, where did you get that hair? ;)

    And of course the kittens are cute too, everybody loves kittens.. :P But the outfit where he is dressed up as a king is just way to pompous for me.. :P

    Well, I apologize for the quietness of the thread... ;) I tried to play some over the weekend, in between work, but I ran into issues with store content again.. well, I did play some recently, though I wasn't excactly motivated.. work has been pretty stressful for almost a year now too, since we're basically understaffed in addition to rotational shift work, so I may have a bit of a short fuse from time to time.. I still care about my sims, and I want to follow them for as long as I can, though.. will post the update when it's ready, but expect it to be lackluster and drab! :P

    @meerkattime Thanks for the comment. ;) Yeah, I think the kids having to go to a cemetary for a school excursion is a little out of the ordinary... :P And so are the grandmothers, apparently, but what can I do.. I can only show/tell the story as it unfolds...

    Nice sunrise picture of Dragon Valley. I haven't played that town, but it looks nice too.

    Congrats to the job, you will do fine,
    Great update!
  • TurjanTurjan Posts: 1,713 Member
    Hi everyone! I thought I'd stop by for a moment. I'm still playing something else mostly, but have that SV game running on the side once in a while. Looks as if most of you are doing fine :smile: . Congrats on your new job, @emorrill .

    Not sure whether anyone remembers, but I had started this game with a sim I made, Arthur Dent (on the right), who lived together with Xander Clavell, Madison VanWatson and the divorced Morgana Wolfe in a house in SV, until they had decided with whom they wanted to spend the rest of their lives. This ended with Madison marrying Arthur, while Morgana started a big family with Xander in the house he inherited from his parents.
    XuXzlMi.jpg

    Since then, my game has progressed a bit, and both couples are elders nowadays. Funny enough, their two oldest children of both families, Justin VanWatson and Delia Clavell, got paired up by Story Progression, and that relationship survived when they turned young adults.
    vk4SMZp.jpg
    They married soon after graduation, and they already have their first child.
    eVgpdlK.jpg
    Justin's younger sister Cassie followed in her brother's steps and got Milton Clavell as her boyfriend. She's still a teen though.
    I4JWxwn.jpg

    The poster child relationship of Sunset Valley, Bella and Mortimer, didn't work out. Not for lack of trying, mind. I think I got the "new couple" alert at least five times. Then Bella had enough of it and married the Keaton's son (the on that's unborn at the start of the game). She seems to be happy, here talking to VJ Alvi.
    GJxeM2q.jpg
    Speaking of VJ, he had two daughters with Tamara Donner, but Tamara had all sorts of relationships on the side, and they never actually married. He got into a very late relationship with Emma Hatch, shortly before she became an elder. The two seem to be happy with each other in their old days. Here's Emma talking to Julie Donner, one of VJ's daughters.
    ejuNFIU.jpg
    Emma herself had one daughter, who married a straggler son of Iliana and Dustin Langerak, and Emma has five grandchildren nowadays. She was actually living with her daughter, her son-in-law and that growing family most of her adult life.

    Another surprising turn of events brought Pauline Wan and Hank Goddard back together in their later days, after some very volatile times in between. They seem to be mostly committed to each other, now that they are both old.
    G1H8Jsp.jpg

    As pretty much always in my games, River McIrish made a string of bad life decisions. She got two children by Parker Langerak before she ended that relationship. She had another failed relationship after that, and at some point, she managed to marry Stiles McGraw. They got one child together, and she divorced him later. This here is Max McIrish, her oldest son by Parker.
    vENxN0a.jpg
    He married Terry Ursine, Claire Ursine's unborn child by Jared Frio from the start of the game. Let's see how this works out, but it looks promising.
    eXvAsjS.jpg

    I mentioned Mortimer Goth, and he's a full adult nowadays and still living alone in the old Goth villa, with both, Gunther and Cornelia long dead. He's hardly ever dating anyone, but most attempts at any relationship end shortly after they start. His newest girlfriend is Vera Song (after she had her birthday later in the day this pic was taken), one of the four former IF's of the Sw0rd/Briody family, who I made a daughter of two of the premade townies (Anne Song and Milton Tong). Let's see whether this relationship will last longer than two days.
    OZetG0e.jpg
    In the background of that image, you see Alvin Briody and Shawn Wainwright (Blair Wainwright's son by her partner in the police force, Hank Goddard). Yup, some of the Briody family are also young adults now, here Alvin and Rick.
    qUNrpEw.jpg

    Anyway, there's no story or anything else than just the "normal" lives of these sims. I guess that is enough of an update for the last months.
    Have fun with your games, everyone :smile: .

    @Sprottenham
    I haven't been without a job for very long in my life, so I can't say I know what it's like going without one for a longer period of time
    ^Lol, yeah. For me, I got married, chose to be a homemaker/SAHM, and hubby's job was always enough to sustain us for the past 17 years. But alas, times have changed, inflation is going on, and now it's time for me to help out our family financially as well. It's a great feeling. :star:
    Also, I think the really long hair (the one that covers the eyes slightly) looks awesome. I have always been envious of dudes that can grow their hair out to such a length.. being a metal fan myself, I tried, but.. It never went past a little over shoulder length.. and then comes a dude that has to flip up his hair to not sit on it when he sits down and I'm like... :astonished: ...try not to stare.. ..anyway, point being, where did you get that hair? ;)

    Well, in about 20 minutes I leave for work. :smiley: They're going to have me watch some training classes online for the first couple of hours apparently, and then they will train me on the cash register for the next 3. So nervous! But I know I'll get the hang of it quickly and it'll be a great place to work. :)

    Happy Simming everyone! Keep the posts coming. ;)<3

    Chapter 19.5 – Sunset Valley May 2023 – Family and friends (and old enemies)

    The first thing I notice when I return to the Motor-Karlsen family is a pair of paparazzis standing on their porch arguing..
    AGGHLxw.jpg
    "This is my turf, you go get your photos elsewhere!"
    Well, excuse me ladies...

    0o4JJFK.png

    The family is having their dreams. Walter (now age 6) looks up to his father and wants a job in the military, but that could change many times over before he finally grows up. ;)

    Marriage and being faithful to your partner is important for Sofie.. her dreams this night is much more pleasant than the dreams she had before Walters birthday.. will she wake up in a good mood this morning, or will she still be sad and grumpy?

    Eivind dreams about planes.. or anything that's high up in the sky, where his job is. ;) Eivind still remembers the moment when he was very young and a meteor crashed in their backyard... And since then he's been unable to let go of the thought of learning about space, and finally becoming an astronaut... His mother Eirin still has that meteor on their back balcony, and she sometimes walks out there to have conversations with it.. maybe there's alien life on it?
    y2RQPdO.jpg
    Picture originally posted in Chapter 17.3 – Sunset Valley – December 2022 part III: Painting on the wall..

    Kleopatra dreams of her school trip to the mausoleum. Otto kept flirting with her in the mausoleum, so maybe love is in the air? ..but then she saw a ghost, and that was much more fun, so maybe not... does a flower have an odd or even number of petals? :P

    4rboDSl.jpg

    Eivind is, as usual, the first one to get up and eat breakfast among the smelly leftovers from yestermonths birthday party...

    xUHzyWv.jpg

    ..before he goes from computer to computer to post inappropriate things on internet forums.. He has gone to the computer in their bedroom when Sofie wakes up, and yep, this morning she's in a good mood. She's still thinking about fishing trips, and making the bed... Sofie has gotten more of a perfectionist with age, another thing she has inherited from her dad, so she can't leave the bed unfinished..

    x1O5jOB.png

    That is what she ends up doing though, as her husband, as soon as she wakes up, starts to feel romantic and ditches the pointless forum trolling for something much more worthwhile. ;) He goes in for a romantic hug and a kiss, and Sofies response is to talk about her fear of heartbreak... She doesn't say it outright, but she would be absolutely devastated if Eivind should decide to leave her..

    FAxTIyt.png

    Kleopatra wakes up next and a little grumpily, she decides to do the homework she didn't have the time to do yesterday.. Eivind walks upstairs to talk to her about Walters birthday party being an awesome event, to which Kleopatra has a snarky remark about the leftovers that nobody seems interested in cleaning up...

    cHmCmad.jpg

    "Well, I don't have time for that, I gotta go to work..."

    L0t3dx4.png

    It's not until Walter wakes up to get ready for his first day of school someone takes responsibility to clean up the dishes... Well, this should make mom and dad happy, shouldn't it?

    ntz6aNc.jpg

    After he has hopped on the schoolbus, Sofie saves and then quits her computer game downstairs to do some much needed laundry. Sofie has from an early age decided that when she got married, she would do whatever it takes to make sure the marriage stays and doesn't fall apart. That has always been very important to her.. in good days as well as during the bad ones... why else would one make that promise?

    Continues in spoiler of spoiled spoilerness.
    PdDtEfy.jpg

    Speaking of promises and marriages.. There is one important person Sofie wants to talk to, but didn't find the time to during the birthday party – her father. So she hops into her fast green car to drive the short, but long, drive up to her old childhood home...


    ZqeWY1f.jpg

    Sofie has to stop on the sidewalk for a while.. The house looks excactly like it did when she moved out, the way it always has for as far back as she can remember. They have still kept the sickly green colour on the walls, inside and out... She finds it hard to imagine that this house was once nothing but a small shack, though she has seen old photos of it... of the way it looked when her mom and dad first moved here as newlyweds in the late 1970s... A marriage that was 11 months away from making it to its tin anniversary..

    FOAMOKf.png

    Sofie walks her way to the front door to ring the doorbell, before she takes a step back waiting for someone to open.. Her father always likes to take his time, so she is left waiting for a while. She can hear the sound of his flip flops moving lazily across the floor, before he finally opens the door. She mutters a few words before he walks up to give her a formal greeting and invite her inside.

    V873NIU.jpg

    Sofie initiates the conversation by complaining about how hard it is to do dishes and to get them clean enough, and they both rediscover that they share the grumpy and the perfectionist trait.. This is largely where Sofies grumpiness comes from.

    YJLojaL.jpg

    There are always four sides to every story, and Asgeir, though he was always faithful, wasn't always the easiest man to share a roof with. Due to his grumpy mood, he often had his off days where almost everything seemed wrong, and of course, the next thing he does is to launch into an argument with Sofie about a piece of classical music.. I believe classical music to be his favorite music. It has to be, because it's pretty much always playing in this house. :P

    QnDkyRu.jpg

    Sofie however, didn't come there to argue and she doesn't really have to strong feelings neither for nor against classical music, so she pretends to agree with whatever he said, and they continue a conversation about music in general that is much more relaxed.

    VMETPH6.jpg

    Asgeirs life has revolved around books and painting, so Sofie picks her conversational topics with care. It's important for Sofie to stay on good terms with her dad, and after she has fulfilled her wish of talking to him, she wants to hand him a gift.

    hN9kKP1.jpg

    Luckily, she already has a book in her inventory to give him, and even though the book turned out to be a childrens book, he was still happy about the gift. :P

    pQxn5bT.jpg

    Sofie then wants to brighten her fathers day by telling him a true sunshine story, but he's not up for it and it just bores him..

    W5pTaQU.jpg

    "Why is dad so hard to please? I just want us all to hang out and stay together.. like a family..." Sofie thinks to her self, disheartened once more, as she walks over to the juice station for a drink and to watch the romance channel.. At least the people on the tv live a happy, perfect life...

    yeVdh6f.jpg

    While she was having a few drinks, her father had followed the sound of someone playing guitar and walked into one of the rooms at the end of the hallway. The room that he walked into used to serve as his office, where he wrote all his books and painted most of his paintings.

    G7gaYP5.jpg

    Sofie decides to follow the sound of the guitar too, after getting a little buzzed from the juice. And to address the teddy bear in the room, I have no idea what it's doing there. It could be a left over from Jonathan and Sofies childhood, or maybe something they own in case their grandchildren wanted to come over and play. :P

    1tHLZuO.jpg

    The sound of the guitar comes from Sofies mom, Lucie. They are divorced, but they still live in the same house that they have more or less built together. Before Lucie could move back in, Asgeir had built a seperate apartment for her with her own entrance. They had agreed in the beginining that her apartment would be off limits to him, since they didn't still didn't want to see each other.. or couldn't see each other, without a literal fight erupting.. they have since reconciled and every room of the house is now open to both of them. They decided to live like this, not for themselves, but for the sake of their grandchildren, so that they could come over and visit and have both grandma and grandpa present at the same time..

    pX4jW5X.jpg

    Lucie notices she's got a pair of onlookers and tucks the guitar away, to engage in a group conversation. It's not to often mom, dad and daughter are all in the same room. The conversation is good for a while, but Asgeir has to ruin the mood by launching into an argument about politics with Lucie.. He has always been a difficult man, but his tendency to argue tripled after he learnt she was cheating on him, and thought it has cooled down considerably, the hurt is still there..

    KVTyln4.jpg

    Lucie scowls and immediately clenches her fists in response with a face of someone that could probably kill a man... Sofie looks at her father "Was that really necessary?"

    H5bdYjf.jpg

    Asgeir realizes he's made a fool of himself, and decides to leave the room with Lucie hurling an insult to go at him... This wasn't how Sofie wanted the visit to turn out, though it was kind of what she had expected...

    KN4n5h0.jpg

    "See you later, mom..." Sofie says as she leaves the room thinking her parents could need some time seperate to cool off again..

    WIi2rUd.jpg

    Sofie decides to kill some time having a few more drinks by the juice bar again until she gets hungry. That's when she thinks she'll give it another go for them to do something together as a family, and wants to take them out dining..

    m3c4260.jpg

    She decides to take them out to the Corsican Bistro, because she knows the food there is excellent. She wrote the menu herself. ;) Sofie has already decided to go for a quick burger, and Lucie isn't all that hungry she quickly picks out a simple sandwich, but Asgeir...? He takes his time.. and they wait.. and they wait.. before he finally shows up with a simple hot dog and mashed potato meal..

    1Bkf623.jpg

    When they decide on their seating, Lucie immediately goes for the table with three chairs, but Asgeir doesn't follow her there and neither does Sofie, as she sits down with her father. She asks him why he took so long to decide and still ended up with a meal from the kids menu... "You should've tried our chicken legs instead, they're ace."

    kh3VLbl.jpg

    Lucie is saddened that they didn't want to sit at her table and she had to eat alone.. but at least Asgeir and Sofie had a nice meal together, before Sofie had to run back inside the restaurant to start her evening shift...

    NmYbNvL.jpg

    XkfBd6t.jpg

    Like mother, like daughter.. Kleopatra is home from school and has sat down to watch the cooking channel on tv.. She also wants to make friends with her aunt Helene after the birthday party, so she decides to give her a call to discuss the latest celebrity gossip and the importance of smoke detectors..

    1o84u1z.png

    "You have to be careful when cooking, so you won't accidentally set fire to your kitchen" Helene says, hoping that the teenager will avoid the same mistake Helenes own absent minded mom once did...

    Walter, when he came come home from school, went directly to his sisters bedroom to start a gigantic painting.. The easel there was Kleopatras birthday gift when she became a teenager. A bit of failed gift, because Kleopatra has never shown any interest in painting...

    Kleopatra has, since Walters birthday party, gotten the idea that she wants to make as many friends as possible, so before she sits down at the kitchen table to do her homework, she gives a call to Robert whom she is almost friends with, to invite him over to hang out. She is very excited that he agreed to come over. ;)

    Kleopatra puts away her homework as he walks up the stairs and welcomes him to the house, and Robert is happy to be invited. Then through the window, I see a familiar shape standing on the grass below the Art Associations building...

    It's Lise Veronica just standing there. Maybe she just watched the flowers, maybe she is contemplating picking them and giving them to Kristina as a sign of affection.. or maybe she's just being weird, I don't know.. :P

    Kleopatra and Robert quickly moves to the sofa in the living room area where they discuss summer and vacation plans among other things. Eivind eventually comes home from work to join them, and both Robert and Kleopatra is a bit flabbergasted when he once again threatens Kleopatra with being grounded if she doesn't behave, even though she hasn't really had the time to do any mischief since before the birthday party.. Robert comments that his mother Ranveig isn't as strict, and that she trusts him more to do mostly do what he wants, and that maybe Eivind should be the same way. Kleopatra agrees and this fulfills her wish of becoming friends with Robert. ;)

    Sofie is finished with her shift at work and receives a message from her boss, Iliana Langerak, on her phone. She has one of those modern type of phones where you can enlarge the screen beyond the size of the phone. Amazing what modern technology can do. ;) Sofie is excited about the message, since Iliana hosts a party and wants Sofie to come. Of course, Sofie replies yes and is just about to go, but quickly changes her mind..

    ..because Sofie knows that Iliana can be a bit erratic. It seems Sofie is right, because I find a crowd outside Hogans Diner scratching their heads and laughing at Iliana, wondering what she is doing there in her swimsuit...

    So instead of going to the party (or going home), Sofie decides to walk a round circling the restaurant where she stops by the back door to gaze at a little rodent. A rat of all things.. Sofie finds the rat cute, but I don't.. There's a rat by the backdoor of your restaurant, Sofie.. if I were you, I would start laying out traps and poison.. because if there are rats outside, there are probably rats inside too! Not cute... :P

    Then another rat shows up as Petter Lande was also on a late night stroll around the restaurant..Now the he found Sofie alone without her husband, he's got a confession to make, and promptly invites her home to his place after work for "just a bottle of wine..."

    Sofie is offended and wants none of that! That's the stupidest thing she has heard – in a good while! Sofie will do almost anything for love, true and steady love, but she won't do that! No way, not at all! Sofie has already seen what such a thing can lead too and has since long concluded that it's not at all worth it....

    ..so she leaves the good for nothing 🐸🐸🐸🐸 behind and heads back to her own family, where Robert is still there discussing school with Kleopatra, even though he said he had to be off for work while they were still on the couch.. but hanging out with cousin Kleopatra isn't half bad, and it sure beats going to work...

    0wGOywQ.jpg

    ..but all fun things come to an end, if only temporary, as Kleopatra gets tired and wants to go to bed. She wishes him a good night and says they could hang out together again some other time, before she goes down to her room to find her brother there still painting on her easel..

    I smell a future painter here. It looks like Walter is very keen on following in the footsteps of his grandfather, also a well known painter. Walter has been so caught up in painting, he even forget to eat and do his homework... and when Kleopatra tells him to leave the room so she can go to bed, he still has discuss his favorite colours with her. ;)

    Kleopatra goes to bed and quickly falls asleep as he leaves the room to go upstairs and finally get himself a meal. The fridge still has plenty of leftovers from his birthday, so finding something good to eat isn't that hard.. and his homework? Well, it can wait....A painter has no need to learn mathematics or rehearse grammar rules... that is, if a painter is what he'll end up becoming..

    Good night. ;)

    New homes and house expansions...

    Now if you remember how last year ended and this year started with Amena looking for a new home for her and George, and buying the empty lot on 180 Redwood Parkway.. I want to go there and take a look at how it has been doing since last time..

    Evolution of 180 Redwood Parkway since Amena bought it in january. It's starting to look like something. I'm sure it will be a nice house for Amena and George when it gets finished. ;)

    --

    For the next update it's back to january to follow Oliver Freddy and Inge for their fourth semester at university...They're seasoned veterans there now. ;)

    Edited to clear up some mistakes.

    @Sprottenham Awesome! You should check out that entire site, they've got TONS of nice hairs on there and they are generally low poly. :)
