Tartosan Sun: Journeys
Welcome to my reboot of Under The Tartosan Sun.🙂 The original story was my first try at writing SimLit. It's been crazy fun and I've learned and grown so much since April '22 when this journey started. These characters are very special to me and I wanted to start again and use all that I've learned in that time to make their story even better. Since I was starting over I wanted to go back in time. Back to when Danielle, Londyn, and the others were just graduating high school and embarking on adulthood. Before Danielle and Londyn, Liberty and Matteo, and Summer and Darian met and fell in love in Tartosa. For some it’s university. For others it’s chasing their dreams along a different path. The early chapters are going to explore what made each of them who they are. It's also a chance to right a few wrongs. Things like the characters too perfect lives. Romantic relationships that went from 0 to soulmates in no time. Secondary characters and storylines that went nowhere. I'm also bringing a character over from another story that is on hiatus, and for all intents and purposes done. Johnny Zest/Mimi Eleganza/The Lady Mimi is one of my favorites and many readers have mentioned how much they enjoyed the character as well. I'll be updating and adding new character bios as time goes by. For now I'm starting out with two bios, one for each group of roommates/dorm mates, Danielle, Summer, and Liberty, and Londyn, Venessa, and Johnny/Mimi. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the story as much as I do writing it. ❤️ (L to R) Danielle Chabert / Liberty Lee / Summer Holiday Danielle, Summer, and Liberty have been friends for almost their entire lives. They met in the first grade and have been nearly inseparable ever since. So it's no surprise they're going to be dorm mates at Foxbury Institute. Danielle comes from a creative family. Her mother is an accomplished painter and her dad is jazz musician playing in the clubs around Willow Creek. Though her mom pressured her to be an artist, painting was only a hobby. Danielle's dream is to be a romance novelist. Liberty's mom is an investment banker and her father is a video game designer. Liberty is an avid gamer and daddy's girl who dreamt of being an astronaut when she was younger. Now she's fascinated by psychology and computers. She's doing a double major in psychology and computer science with hopes of becoming a forensic psychologist or cybersecurity expert. Summer was born to do one thing, cook. It's in her genes. Her mother and her mother's side of the family are almost all chefs. Her dad is a bandmate with Danielle's father so her family is steeped in the two things Willow Creek is most famous for, sinfully delicious food and hot jazz music. Her dream is to become a famous chef and own her own restaurants or have a tv cooking show. Maybe both. (L to R) Venessa Jeong / Londyn Huntley / Johnny Landgraab-Mimi Eleganza-The Lady Mimi Londyn, Venessa, and Johnny/Mimi all come from different backgrounds and different parts of the country. But they have a lot in common. All three on part of the LGBTQ community, Venessa and Londyn are lesbians, and Johnny/Mimi is trans/non-binary. They also dream of fame and fortune. Venessa grew up in Chestnut Ridge, but she always believed Del Sol Valley was where she was meant to be. She took advantage of every opportunity she could find to get in front of a crowd and perform. Growing up in a rural area those opportunities were few and far between. But she wasn't going to be deterred. Now she's accomplished the first objective, move to Del Sol Valley. Now the hard work begins. Venessa has the talent and determination to make it big. Londyn is an island girl at heart. She grew up in sunny Sulani dreaming of stardom in faraway Del Sol Valley. Some of her earliest memories were of sitting with her mom watching the Starlight Accolades. And countless movies. As Londyn reached her teen years she knew early that she was attracted to other girls. It was a source of tension at times between her and her parents. They loved her but they didn't support her being out and proud. But through it all her parents supported her acting ambitions. Londyn has always dreamed big, now it's time to make those dreams come true. Johnny/Mimi grew up in nearby Oasis Springs. From an early age there was a disconnect between their body and their heart and mind. Mimi never felt like the boy everyone else said they were. As the years passed and life at home and at school became nightmarish Mimi found an escape in the world of drag. Mimi idolized the performers. The club scene in Del Sol Valley is a Mecca for gender outlaws like Mimi and a launching pad from some of the world's top drag performers. A list Mimi is determined to add their name too.

The Whittaker Saga - 1960s (updated 05/12)
I was vastly inspired when reading the decades challenge, and as a history teacher, I could not stop myself from giving it a try. Of course, true to my nature or refusing to do things by the book, the first thing I did was break the rules. How? By creating as my protagonist a single, working woman living on her own! Gasp! Why? Partly because a story popped into my head, but also, partly, to honor the many women who - by choice or necessity - actually worked, and worked hard for their living in the 1890s. We tend to forget them, but the working women were there - from the hard working farmers that we often downgrade by calling wives, as if they weren't an essential part of the economy of the farm, to the working class women working as domestic help or in the factories where they were only payed half of a man's wages. So with that, I introduce Abigail Spencer, a single, working, middle class woman in 1890s Willow Creek: As middle class there is only a few jobs available to Abigail, that of governess or that of teacher. Abigail is therefore a teacher, teaching at Willow Creek Elementary School. She lives right next door to the school, in a small shotgun house with a few chickens and a patch of land to help her make ends meet (teachers really were not payed a lot during this time either). Obviously, her biggest goal in life is to find a husband, get married and start a family so that she won't have to work. (In fact, a teacher, as well as many other working women, automatically lost their job if they got married during this time.) But to get married, she needs to find a husband. Meet Willow Creek's eligible bachelors: Matthew Godeau: Matthew is one of the richest men in Willow Creek. A bit too old to still be a bachelor he lives with his widowed mother in Ophelia house (yes, eventually this family changed their names and became the Goths. Ophelia house is named from Matthew's mother). Pro: Matthew is creative, just like Abigail, as well as a romantic and would be sure to bestow lots of attention on a wife. He lives in one of the biggest houses in town, and is a wealthy business man. Abigail would have a good life with him. Con: His mother. Ophelia is a woman set in her own ways and she is not about to let some silly girl interfere with how she runs her house! Ophelia is mean, materialistic and an overachiever. She is not likely to see some middle class teacher as good enough for her son. Add that she has raised her son to be not only creative and romantic, but also incredibly self absorbed and the household may prove hard to be comfortable with. Joseph Whittaker: Joseph is a novellist, living in the stately Whittaker house, which with time, will be turned into the well renowned Willow Creek Archive. He has no mother (a definite pro), but two very young children. A son and a daughter, from a previous marriage. Pro: Joseph is a bookworm, just like Abigail and is sure look favourably on her past as a teacher. They are also both family orientated which means they are a good match in personalities and would likely find a lot of common ground. The house is ripe with books, and Joseph's two motherless children desperately need a mother to tend to their needs. With two live in maids it's a comfortable life focused on the family and the books she so loves. Con: Joseph very much mourns his dead wife, and keeps her picture on the wall over the fireplace. Can he ever truly love again, or will Abigail forever live in the shadow of the woman he loved and lost? Loyd Brennan: Loyd is the owner of Brennan's Groceries and Dry Goods, the biggest (only) shop in town. He lives with his sister Mary and their dachshund above the store. Pro: Loyd is outgoing and friendly and easy to get along with. He's self assured, but unlike Matthew, not self absorbed. He works hard and provides a good home. As a working man he does not mind a working wife, so Abigail would do more than sit around being pretty. He loves dogs, and anyone who does cannot be bad - right? Con: Living in a store would mean working in the store. There is no way the wife of a store owner is not in that store working along side her husband. Without money for a maid, this involves not just working in the store but running the household as well. The apartment isn't really big enough for a large family and unless Mary gets married, it's bound to be crowded. Then there is the fact that she and Mary does not really get along well. Paul Heydale: Paul is a farmer, living with his entire family at Garden Essence, a farm with a cow, chickens and a whole lot of crops. They're a tight knit family who works hard for what they have. Pros: Paul, like Abigail is both creative and family orientated. He dreams of becoming a painter rather than a farmer. By marrying him, Abigail would be wrapped up in a large family who would be there for her, something she'd never had before. His family is also very friendly, and Abigail teachers his younger sister and has already met and chatted with his mother and father and really likes the entire family. Con: Marrying a farmer would be a step down the social ladder, and the life of a farmer is hard! Is Abigail cut out for working out from early morning to late evening without ever more than making ends meet? And the house is crowded as is, with Paul's parents and two younger siblings (so far). Where would more children live? Is Abigail prepared for the hard life that accompanies this choice? Now I wanted to make a poll, but apparently you cannot do this in this section of the forums. So I'll leave you with a question instead - who do you believe Abigail will most likely fall in love with and why? Matthew Joseph Loyd Paul Finally, here is my Willow Creek in 1890: *** An important note about the future postings in this story: After trying and fighting the forum to get the posts up and running as they are supposed to work, I have now decided that it's simply too much work. Instead, I have started a blog that (hopefully soon) will contain all of the chapters from here and the old forum. I am currently at 1891 and moving forwards quite rapidly. Here the posts of each chapter will be replaced by a link to the chapters in the blog as I move forwards, though I will leave any comments as they are. The massive perk with this is that I do not need to worry about editing in all images manually, and the loading time will decrease enormously without them. The process of reading is also easier at the blog - and while the blog itself is in the wrong order, I have set up a list of all chapters in chronological order for new readers as well as a search function if you are looking for a specific chapter. Another perk is that I have some new options, like character pages where you can get a summary of each of the main character in the story (warnings for spoilers) and a separate page about the challenge, how time moves. I hope I will be able include a link to the family tree as well. It will take some time to get everything set up, and I do appreciate input in the process. I do promise that the story will go on, and hope you will keep reading it and commenting on it either here or on the new blog. Link to the blog.
The Bachelor Challenge
I wanted to attempt to complete one challenge each month this year. We'll see how that goes. I missed January and got sick during Valentine's week which is when I wanted to start this challenge. Oh well. So, this month of love, I'm doing the challenge of "love??", The Bachelor. I've never played this challenge before. I will use the rules from The Sims Challenges. I will post here and also on my site, Nocturne Mystique (episode list on the link). I have all Eps, Gps, Sps, and got the Grouchy trait plus some CC traits. I will not use any of my CC traits. Every Sim must have one of the three Romance type traits: Romantic, Lovebug, Romantically Reserved. The Bachelor will have Romantic and Lovebug traits. I will decide the Bachelorettes romance trait by spinning a wheel online. (I have a mod that gives me 5 trait slots in CAS. My Bachelorettes will have 3 traits plus a Romance one, but my Bachelor will have 4 +1). While creating the Bachelorettes, I changed my mind about using Unflirty as I don’t want to put anyone at a disadvantage right off the bat. Also, I'll probably put more screenshots on my site's version than on here because I'm not sure what the max storage is here (and I've noticed sometimes the images hosted off-site don't show up). I'll try to keep it as essential as possible without taking away the fun. So, if you crave more screenies they'll be over there. And I'll have links to previous and next episodes at the end of each post plus an episode list below. The longer threads get the harder it is to navigate (at least it is for me) and want to make this as easy as possible. Now onto the show!
👽 Miller Legacy 🛸
Sul sul fellow simmers! The Miller Legacy is my first Legacy Challenge and the way I found to explore the (for me) new The Sims 4 game in the moment I decided to buy it. It's the translation of what I originally posted in Italian here, and the new chapters are being posted on my blog here. I'd also like to point out that this legacy is currently being shared also on the parallel Sim Creative forum. This small forum has practically the same template as the old one and is not buggy, making it a very cozy place where to share the old conversations we used to have in the former Creative corner. I suggest you to give it a look! ;) Back to the introduction, with this legacy I'm basically novelizing what happens when I'm playing my game, introducing as many mysteries and issues to overcome for my sims as I can. For sure, the Miller's are not a family like the others. I'm not a fan of too strict gaming rules, thus my main rule is just: "reach generation 10 without cheating". This legacy is definitively more story-driven than rules-driven. So I'm not taking track of points in any way, often instead of choosing traits or careers randomly I choose what I think would be funnier for me to play or better for the story progression, I often move the family to new houses (not built by me because I'm a horrible builder) and so forth. In particular, I'm taking a lot of freedom about a certain cat, but also in that case I found a way for doing it without technically being cheating. As for the heir, I don't follow a strict rule but just choose the one for which I can imagine the best character development and who can give more in terms of story progression. The only rule I'm following in that sense is that I want every heir to be the biological child of the previous heir, because I'm curious to see how the genetics algorithm in TS4 work over a 10 generations span (consider this as a small experiment :P ). The full story index (beware, it's long!) can be found HERE. I'm closing this premise here because I don't want to spoil the story, so I wish you a pleasant reading through the most mysterious sides of this game ;)
💜 Blending Friends Game Play Challenge 💜
Join the #BlendingFriends game play challenge and discover a different way to play with life 💜 This concept all started with a simple conversation in origin with @fuzgirl65 ~ Both of us agreeing we really just needed to get in game and play sims again. That thought in mind and hours of fun filled gameplay later I had a beautiful new family that was a blend between her sim style and mine. Thank you Josie for creating Dawn Simpkins who I simply fell in love with long ago and for inspiring this idea in me 💜 Another great friend, @kass17 loved the idea so much that she and I decided to try this game play scenario again with her sims and mine. The end result being the official start to the #BlendingFriends game play challenge 💜 My sims blended with @Spenndragin @Lordkiribati @kass17 @13Vader Official Blending Friends Challenge information: This is a GAME PLAY challenge • I’ve done it many times and always enjoy watching the sims I’ve loved creating and the sims I adore from other talented creators connect through their autonomy, not any control from me. First ◾ Put 8 sims designed by creators you love into one household. You can use 1 of your own sim creations if you’d like. You can divide them equally between males and females or any combination that works best for you and your gameplay enjoyment. Each sim should be from a different creator in your household. You may use the cheat “freerealestate on” to move them into a big enough home. I recommend using another builder’s home which will add to the fun of blending friends in your game! I am not a great builder so I love spoiling my sims by living in the amazing homes simmers create and share to the gallery. Do not use any other cheats. In the beginning to pay the bills you can sell your household furnishings for simoleons if necessary. Be sure to put your chosen sims to work in a field that compliments their given aspiration as soon as possible because no other cheats are allowed in this challenge. Do not change, edit or alter the aspiration, traits, skills or physical attributes that the original creator gave to the sims you’ve chosen to play. Play with full autonomy on and regular lifespan. Next ◾ Watch them like reality TV until the flirting and coupling starts. You may encourage these actions with outside influencers like traveling with everyone to the romance festival, turning the channel to romance TV, using the special incense fragrance “romantic sandalwood” to get them in the mood, placing objects with a flirty aura in their home, etc. DO NOT directly use any romantic interactions. If you’re a simmer who absolutely needs to control your sims interactions with others in the household then use friendly interactions only and sparingly. The best way to play through this challenge is by NOT controlling any interactions at all. Treat this sims challenge like reality TV. Be a true "watcher" and don’t control the sims. You may take control in other ways like getting jobs and traveling wherever your sims whims desire to go. If you travel, take all available sims in your household. Go to festivals, venues, neighbors homes, etc. together unless a sim is unavailable due to work hours. If that is the case then travel with all available sims. Remember to allow them the autonomy to socialize and build relationships with whom they want and how they want within the household. Then ◾ Once you see solid romance bars established between two of your sims, you may take control of their romantic interactions. Established romance bars may take several sim days or more. You may be tempted to give your in game favorites a little nudge but don’t do it. It will happen sooner or later autonomously by the sims in your household. You might find more than one pairing has taken place so pick your favorite couple and start a family with them. Picking just one couple is the hardest part though! That’s why you see many #BlendingFriends families in the gallery 😍 Finally ◾ With your official couple picked, you can take control back as you prompt them through dating, marriage and/or moving out together and at least one child. For same sex couples, please change their pregnancy options in CAS only after the relationship is established. If you’d like, please share your new blended families to the gallery using the hashtag #BlendingFriends ◾ Share just one or continue through the game play to match them all up through autonomy into loving new families that are a blended mix of your favorite Sim creators and friends! You just might fall in love with them so much they become your new legacy family as my original family, The Champion's did!! ◾ I'd also love to see your in game screenshots as you go along so please make a picture collage and post them here. You could also try to story blog about it if you have Tumblr, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube or any other social media you share your simming experiences on. Please tag me if you do! • It’s always best to hashtag original creators when uploading your blending families to The Sims 4 gallery since you will have sims from other creators blended together with one of yours or with another friendly creator 💜 Creators love to see their content getting loved up in other simmers games.💜 Now lovely friends get in game and have a blast picking some aweSIM sims created by your simming friends and a design or download a brand new home to move them into so you can take on this new way to “PLAY WITH LIFE” 😍 A huge thank you to MadameNordica for seeing this little challenge of mine several years ago and playing through it on her #Twitch channel! Also to MenaBuchner for jumping aboard this adventure & posting a series of lovely Blending Friends game play images and stories on her #TwitterX profile in 2018! Ahh, the memories! https://x.com/MenaBuchner/status/1039250366410498048💜 The original Blending Friends family ~ The Champion's Please visit my Simblr to read their unfinished legacy story 💜💜 Quick Creativity CAS Challenge 💜 GLovelysQCC

You have always believed in the magic of the world and in others until your trust was broken as a child. When Raya becomes a teenager, this story begins. - Must lose her father to an accident - Have a best friend (Tuk Tuk) - Explore the world as a young adult and make friends along the way - Make enemies with a rival but unite in the end (Namaari) restoring trust and friendship in the world - Marry and have children Optional extras: Use the Strangerville story as a way of dividing the world following the gem breaking (If after any generation you wish to end the challenge, you may not have kids. It is entirely up to you. I go by the motto that it's your game, play how you want to play) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Happy Simming!
Glimmers: A Family Saga
Hello, everyone! I am beginning a new family saga based around my original Sims 4 character, Caleigh. I am really enjoying merging my love for writing with my enjoyment of the Sims 4, and Glimmers: A Family Saga is a result of that merging. I hope you enjoy Caleigh's adventures, and please remember to be kind! May peace be with you, :)
Alphabet SuperLegacy Challenge Rules
Updated for Businesses and Hobbies. This is a legacy challenge where each generation represents a different letter, and must explore all of the game play starting with that letter: aspirations, collections, woohoo spots, reward store traits, you name it. I already have a thread for this challenge that has been updated through Crystal Creations. Since it was transferred from the old forum, it was very hard to update further. Ignore any objective related to a pack you don’t own. You can choose to skip a generation if your pack limitations leave it extremely short on content. I've removed two of the letters (Q, Y) from the challenge because they don't have much to do, even with all the packs. No cheat codes that help you move through your objectives faster. No rules about aging. No rules governing non-heirs. Just because one generation has something as an objective, doesn’t mean that other generations can’t do it for fun/convenience. If you don’t have at least three traits in the assigned letter, you have to randomize the rest. No self-discovery traits starting with a different letter. Each heir's name, and that of any pets they have, must begin with their letter. Likes and Dislikes: The heir can only have the likes/dislikes assigned to their generation. Color preferences are assigned when they age up to Child. From that point forward, all the heir's outfits will reflect their color preferences. If you decorate a space for them, you must consider their color preferences. Fashion and interior design preferences are assigned when they age up to teen (if you have those packs). From that point forward, all their outfits and decorated spaces will reflect their style preferences. Lot Traits and Challenges: The heir must have all of their assigned lot challenges equipped in all of their designated residences. If the heir has three assigned lot traits or less, they also must be assigned. If the heir has four or more lot traits, they have to change up which three are in play. The heir's transitional aspirations (the ones that decide the bonus traits) have to be aspirations from their generation, unless they don't have two aspirations. At the start of the challenge, the Gen 1 "founder" will be a toddler, so you will need to give them at least one parent.

Floor Plan Challenge: Revisiting...
Hey guys! I used to be quite active in the SIMS4 about a billion years ago, I have been MIA for about 7 years ago, back then I used to run a "Floor Plan Challenge". I selected floorplans, building parameters and we made challenges out of them. Well... life happened, gaming went on the side lines, but uhm.. hi! Is this something that someone is already doing? I skimmed through but couldn't find anything. Is this something anyone is interested in? If so, I could start it back up again! My kiddos are adults now, and I'm DONE WITH SCHOOL finally.. LOL did my undergrad and graduate programs since then! HAHA If you guys want me to start this back up I'd love to!
Build-n-Share #192 **Flower Power** Due May 31, 2025
Welcome to BNS 192: Flower Power! Spring is in full bloom, and this month’s challenge brings flowers into the spotlight! Your task: Pick a flower available in-game and design a tiny house inspired by it. Whether it’s the bright cheerfulness of a sunflower, the elegance of a lily, or the romantic charm of a rose, your build should reflect the essence of your chosen flower in both aesthetics and functionality. Pick a client from among the three blow to build for: Client 1: Rosa Gardner (Eco-Friendly Enthusiast) Bio: A passionate environmental advocate, Rosa dreams of living in a sustainable home that reflects her values. She grows her own food, composts, and bikes everywhere she can. Her ideal tiny house is packed with eco-friendly features—solar panels, rainwater collection, and vertical gardens galore! She wants her home to feel like an extension of nature, blending seamlessly with the world around her. Preferred Flower Inspiration: Sunflowers, lavender, or wildflowers—anything with a natural, earthy charm that supports pollinators and biodiversity Client 2: Sylvie Meadow (Cottagecore Dreamer) Bio: Sylvie has always dreamed of a cozy retreat filled with charm, warmth, and whimsy. She loves handcrafted furniture, vintage décor, and curling up with a good book by candlelight. Her tiny home needs to feel like a fairytale cottage, complete with climbing roses, soft pastel tones, and maybe even a little garden gnome watching over the flower beds. Preferred Flower Inspiration: Roses, daisies, or peonies—romantic, delicate blooms that complement the soft, rustic aesthetic. Client 3: Milo Novak (Modern Minimalist) Bio: Milo thrives in sleek, stylish spaces that maximize function without clutter. He’s all about clean lines, smart design, and cutting-edge technology. His ideal tiny home is bold and striking, featuring geometric shapes, monochrome tones, and high-tech efficiency—think floor-to-ceiling windows, space-saving furniture, and an emphasis on open, airy layouts. Preferred Flower Inspiration: Orchids, lilies, or lotus flowers—elegant, sculptural blooms that match his sophisticated, minimalist taste. The Brief: Budget; #40000 Lot size: 20x15 House size; 64 tiles Flower inspiration: Your home should include three distinct features that reflect your chosen flower (color palette, materials, architectural choices, etc.) Landscaping: Incorporate plant life to enhance your theme—flower beds, vertical gardens, window boxes, or even greenhouse-style elements Functional creativity: Make the most of limited space! Smart layouts, multi-use furniture, and clever storage solutions will elevate your design. Optional extras: Pick a vibe; Cottage core, eco-friendly or modern. Have your home reflect your flower’s natural habitat, like a water feature for a lotus-inspired house The Sim Challenge: Create either Rosa Gardner, Sylvie Meadows or Milo Novak, including all traits, likes, dislikes, etc. show them enjoying thie new homes. Remember to show all of their outfits. The Room Challenge: Create a great room for one of the tiny houses. Budget:$15000 Remember to include the hashtag #bns192 with your build so it can be found.

Game play question for Tattoo designing - searching
I would like to have a Tattoo for my Sim(s) that looks like the Open-O reverse swoosh Floor Tile and Wall Decal found in the Spa Day pack. I really can't draw IRL so trying with a mouse (as I have) is ridiculously bad. I tried searching the Gallery (found some GREAT Lotus(s)) but can't figure out the name of the symbol so harder to search for it. Can anyone point me in the correct direction or know of someone who has posted this symbol on the Gallery? 😕 Thank you, In advance!
Kitchen clutter kit build
Hi all! I recently had a build in mind, I wanted to create an apartment for a single mom and her toddler. They set to start their new life! Literally the day of my build, the kitchen clutter kit came out so I felt like it would be perfect to do a build around my single mom and toddler using the kitchen clutter kit! You can check out my speed build and also download from the gallery! I had to delete walls to make it an entire room so if you download you will have to fix the walls. Also I use used bb.moveitems. thank you for checking my video out! Let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/9cpguE8lfgw?si=GeDcEpvy7yI070cpMy Super Sims Family Challenge 2.0
I was unable to edit and repair some of the pics in my original thread so I'm just starting fresh. 🙂 Plus I wanted to change the order of some of the episodes. Introduction Some of you have probably seen various pics of my sim family in the various Screenshots and What Happened threads. I just wanted to gather all those pics and create a thread to help me keep track of what was happening in my game. I've been playing this family since 2018 and what started as a Super Sim Challenge with Julianna eventually evolved into a Super Sim Family Challenge as I became attached to Julianna's and Edward's children. I usually switch off and focus on different family members depending on which career, aspiration, or pack feature I want to focus on. I move family members in and out of the main household as I play them. Edward and Julianna were both created in CAS as single households. I played Julianna for a while, had her start a relationship with Edward and they married shortly afterward. Shown above is Edward, Julianna, and their three daughters, Juliette, Hannah, and Isabel. Also Juliette's two children, Amelia and Asher, with her fiancée, Sebastian. Amelia and Asher were added to the family in anticipation of High School Years as I didn't have any school age sims in the household when that pack was announced. Juliette and Sebastian's wedding plans are still on hold. In addition to their three daughters, Julianna and Edward also have a young adult son, Theo, who was created in CAS. He was raised by his maternal grandparents. Theo and his wife, Jennifer, have 2 children. Twin toddlers named Grace and Hope. Julianna's parents, her 2 siblings and their children and Edward's parents, his 3 siblings and their children are part of the extended family.
