I've now got Episode 20 of Oscar's Childhood almost ready.
It's full of activity. Lots of extra inserts including a bit where I talk about Allyson's mother, Tammy.
Tammy was killed by a meteor as a child and she was a little ghost for ages before her mother, Patience, finally managed to get her to eat some Ambrosia.
Well, I managed to find the old game where that happened. I didn't recover the bit where the meteor struck the house, but I did get a game with her gravestone in it and I played it until I got her ghost haunting and put that into this video.

There are lots of other little extras. I had fun with it.
I took a day off from working on it earlier in the week as I needed a break and I knew if I pushed myself to just get it done it would end up being tired and boring. I don't think it'll be boring. At least I hope it won't. I was surprised I could go back to such an old game and get that video of the little ghost.
I didn't wait to keep playing until she ate the Ambrosia because that took a few Sim weeks and I didn't have that much patience - but I did include the bit where her mother made the Ambrosia.

Ambrosia - it looks much better in the video because it's sort of glowing and pretty glowy steam is rising from it.
In the original game someone in the household stole the Ambrosia and ate it so Patience had to go and catch another death fish to make more. Since it was mid Winter and the fishing hole at the graveyard was frozen over, I was too impatient to wait until it thawed, I got the idea of putting the Wishing Well indoors. That's when I first started putting it in the basement.
Interestingly, I noticed it doesn't drop through the floor in these old games. Something changed when Lucky Palms was released and that's when Plants and Wishing Wells and other things started dropping down through the floors. I always put my wishing wells in the bottom basement or at ground level now to avoid it dropping down to levels below.
I saved where I was up just in case I want to video her eating the Ambrosia later on. Right now, I don't really want to go back to it - but could change my mind.
I got video of young Patience when Tammy was a little ghost for the return of Allyson to her home - she's Patience's grand daughter.

And some video of Elder Patience in Lucky Palms for when Kathleen was going home - because she's Kathleen's grandmother and she had to be in Kathleen's return home.

The surprising thing is, the first really old save I opened had Tammy as a toddler. I closed it down as that was way before the meteor hit. Then I thought I should have tried to get some video of her back then. The game was from the end of 2011 - when last saved.
I'm currently exporting the new video to a file type I can load to YouTube. That'll take a while.
Then I'll watch it through to make sure it's OK and then when I am happy with it I'll load it to YouTube. It probably will be another day or more though as I am about to go to bed now, I really need the sleep.
And tomorrow (Sunday) I'll be gone to rehearsal for a few hours and also have to go grocery shopping so I don't know how much time I'll have for my game. I know last week I was so exhausted after rehearsal I didn't even turn the computer on until the next day.
As a bit of a preview though, I got Mena to take the two little girls home to Lucky Palms and in this episode they are returned to their family homes.
It ended up taking the whole rest of the episode to get the girls settled into their respective homes.
Kathleen's home coming was a bit more complicated than Allyson's was though so it probably took up most of the video.
Then Mena and Elouise travel back to Chocolate Cake Island. That's the end of the video. It runs for almost 30 minutes. 27 minutes I think.
I'll start on the next video soon, because when the sims arrive back in Chocolate Cake Island Elouise will travel on to Moonfall Island (which is her own original home - because that's where I put her when I added her to the game) and she'll take 6 other sims with her from Chocolate Cake Island. This means most of the next video will be in Moonfall Island.
I've been playing in that world for a bit and it is a much more lively place for sims to be. Especially for children.
There are so many other children living in Moonfall Island than in Chocolate Cake Island. After only a couple of days at school children from the boarding school are going home with friends from school. We will get to see inside all sorts of interesting places and meet lots of interesting sims.
There are a lot of relatives of Eric's living there as well as quite a few of the mermaids from the Colourful Mermaid videos. I broke up their household and they are scattered across two or three worlds.
I know the toddlers (clones) are in Moonfall Island as are the humans including the useless ex-butler Beau Stallings. He's got his own house. Mia Azul, Maya Ocean and Triton King are there too. They are living in the houses into which I placed them.
So that's it from me for now.
Happy Simming
