Thank you for your comment @lanly.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
The children fishing from a swimming pool came with the base game. I used to get my children to do that a lot back then but decided to try to let them go to fishing holes as I prefer that look. Then I wanted to get these children aged up and I wanted them to learn to fish fast and decided to get them to use the pool again. I'd been thinking about doing that for a while. I was surprised to see them pull actual fish out of the pool, but they used to do that years ago when the game first came out so I knew they could do it. It was just a bit surprising to see it happen.
I think that was Max with the basket ball. He's getting ready to age up to Young Adult. He just has a few extra things to do, and his Imaginary Friend, Paul, has even more to do but they are both making progress.
I tend to forget about gardening recently, That's why the gardens are a bit bare at the moment. But they are necessary for sims to gain skill and opportunities and harvestables.
I've been forgetting to give sims death flowers recently. I think I'd better do more of that now. I've had a sim die without a death flower. She is now in her urn waiting for a family member to revive her one day. Her household is in Oscar's Teen Years series.
That floor with the refrigerator next to the sarcophagi is a bit of a shambles. I just put things out in random spots as I needed them and have so far failed to move them around into more suitable positions. That's why the chemistry tables are gradually making their way down the length of the wall at the side of their basement garden.
I think special seeds are supposed to glow red, but they don't always do it. The seeds shining like bright stars were doing that because Don has a collection helper in his pocket and I'd set it to find seeds.
I decided to sent a few select sims to Mountain Lake to update them to try to keep them all in line with each other in various worlds. I will age up a few of the teens in Mountain Lake and send them to Vice City with Max and Paul when the time comes. Otherwise Vice City will just be populated with Sims raised in the main household. The sims I've taken to this world are sims I want to focus on with their skilling and book reading. I'm waiting for them to all get to Grade A at school after their move. Then Max and Paul should be ready to age up to YA. I'll be moving the sims needing training to a different household soon. There are at least 3 households in Mountain Lake with sims I need to work on. I'll probably do most of it without adding it all to the videos as that will make this generation too many episodes long.
I've not been playing much over the past couple of weeks. We've been having heatwaves and terrible storms. And they keep on coming. One of my huge trees got blown over on the night before Christmas Eve and landed on a neighbour's car shed. It is only a roof on posts but the front of it is squashed. Most of the tree has now been removed but the part on top of the shed is still there. Then it's been too hot for me to do much of anything after about 10 or 11 am most days since then. But I'll get back to it soon. I've launched the game a few times and it's been too hot to play. I am hoping to get air conditioning installed in this room but there are a few things I need to do to the room first before I can get it installed. So far today it's much cooler, but the heat arrives suddenly. And there was no storm near my house yesterday but people in the general area got hit badly. Houses are being destroyed, and thousands of people are without power for days or longer. So far all that's happened to me is the heat the tree falling over. We were getting cyclonic winds the night the tree came down.
Happy Simming
