[My Wedding Stories] Arranging Ideal Circumstances
Honestly, as of currently, the wedding pack is decent. All my sims sat down when they were supposed to and followed the itinerary, which meant the big buttons on the arch actually work. Here are some tips for a smooth wedding: A wedding venue WILL have strangers walking in. As the Wedding Venue doesn't seem to have a Lock for Event goers only, the best thing to do is to abuse the "Kick out of Wedding Event" incessantly and the only thing left will be your guests. DO NOT invite toddlers or infants. Toddlers have nowhere to sit and will disrupt the wedding. It is best that they unfortunately stay out. Abuse the Make Needs Happy button (Fulfil needs cheat). Every 5 hours, I will pause the game and do it to ALL my guests including the bride and the groom. This will prevent anyone from dying in the game or peeing all over. The best thing to ensure the cake does not go bad is by buying an hour before the wedding and remembering to set it as cake in Wedding right before. If you download a wedding venue from the gallery, make sure routing is okay before you proceed to hold your ceremony. The last issue is something I find a little difficult to solve. As you CANNOT force change outfit through cheats of other sims not played by you (No mods), the outfit aspect is a HUGE gamble. Thankfully, my Sims looked decent for their friends' Chinese wedding but this is definitely something I hope Maxis adds in, as we can't really select the outfits for each guest (unfortunately).
The Sims In Real Life
Have you ever come across things in real life and thought, 'That's so Sims!' Mostly it happens when I'm at a restaurant with friends and my Sims brain goes DINING OUT! But I'm celebrating the holidays with my mom and sisters in the Eastern Cape (South Africa), in a quaint little coastal town. And yesterday we drove past the only vet office in town and my brain was like, 'WOW! IT'S LIKE I'M IN BRINDLETON BAY!!' Even more so when my mom and I took her little mixed breed doggy for a walk close to the beach and I took in all the scenery with the winy sandy walkways and all the seaside decor everywhere. Please share your real life Sim experiences. I'm sure I can't be the only one 😋
Fire Count . . .
Just for grins and giggles, I decided to go through my updates and count just how many times a fire has broken out at Erik Cantrell's home. I made a list: Cantrell: The Early Years, Part Six "Celebration Gone Awry" Update-1 Cantrell: The Middle Years, Part One" "But the Naturopath Said . . ." Update-12 "Balancing Act" Update-14 "Stuck On the Dark Side of the Moon" Update-16 Cantrell: The Middle Years, Part Two "When the Year Ends With a Bang" Update-1 "Putting on a Brave Face" Update-3 "Under Fire" Update- 8 (This is a twofer, as in two fires in the same update. Yikes) I haven't written up the next update, but yeah, it's got a fire in it, too. I think my Erik Cantrell family is having a serious streak of bad luck, wouldn't you? Please list a count of how many fires your main Sim family has encountered. It's okay if you don't list any titled updates, I'm aware not everybody shares a story. I just want to know I'm not alone in this. Merry Christmas! Oh, and if you wish to add pictures, be my guest. I just don't have time at the moment to look mine up. Have the Company Christmas party tonight. 😁Day 2 - Present Hunt - The 12 Days of Simsmas

I don't know if anyone else gets these, but today's showed my Sim, Erik Cantrell, ranting at Dustin Broke at the Starlight Accolades. Erik was clearly on the stage accepting his award, and I took the photo from behind Erik. I have no clear recollection of this, but I'm now finding it hilarious. Apparently, this was from December 18, 2024. The look on his wife's face is priceless. Please share any of your Memories from the Cloud, if you get them.
