This morning I decided to use Isabel to take Ted back to his family in Lucky Palms. I wasted ages looking for Isabel. She has completely vanished from the world. I've had her waiting for me in the Base Camp. She's been running around town getting up to whatever SP decides to tell her to do. I've been turning all of the imaginary friends belonging to the young witches real. That's taken a lot of time.
In the end I just sent Tom off to Lucky Palms on his own. I remembered he has a doll in his inventory and was thinking I might try to make it real and use it as my travelling sim. When we arrived in Lucky Palms he arrived in the Base Camp I placed there a few days ago. I checked his relationship panel and immediately noticed Isabel is now living in Lucky Palms. That's so annoying. I never sent her there she just went. She's got herself a job there too.
After a bit of messing around I managed to get Tom back with his Lucky Palms wife and family. Then I identified two households I want to move to Glenvale City. I have only 43 sims living in GC and there are over 113 living in Lucky Palms.
I'll send a witch who was never part of the witches village in Dragon Valley so she doesn't know any of the Bombays.

She was made years earlier and added to the Big Game when they were in either Beach City or Twin Towns. She has a plant sim child with her that she picked. So I'll move them first. Then I'll come back again for the Hanson family. This is Mark Hanson.
Lucky Palms is a world principally filled with sims who are descendants of Patience. Mark is not descended from her. His parents are Marty and Marcie and they already live in Glenvale City because they were living in Dark Harbor. Mark is their eldest son and he is married and has 6 children. I didn't remember he had 2 babies, maybe it's 3 babies, plus two toddlers and a child.
I got a few screen shots of some of the imaginary friends I made real in Glenvale City. They are mostly teens but there are some children. I lost one of the children because of Error 12 after I gave him a makeover. Funny thing is I was very unhappy with his makeover and thought I'd probably have to do it again at some stage. So I wasn't too sad when I lost him. I thought I'd saved him after he became real and just lost the makeover but when I reloaded he was still a doll in his owner's inventory. So he got made real again and this time he was a she. So I made her over and am happy with her. Here are some pics.
There is a 40x40 lot in this world that is surrounded by a street with houses. And there is a 30x30 park that came with Katy Perry Sweet Treats Stuff Pack. I placed the park in the middle of the empty lot.

Some of the Bombays were visiting it. You can see Valmae, the one reading in the background, and a plant sim named Joseph who was picked by and lives with Gene Bombay, and a child playing in the sand. The child is Helen Bombay. Valmae just adopted her. She's the one that replaced the boy I lost after his makeover I didn't like.

I was determined to get a screen shot and maybe some video too, of the doll becoming live. The game throws you up to look down at it from above and I wanted to get a pic straight on and after numerous failures I finally managed to get a couple of pics of it happening from the angle I wanted. This is Hesper becoming live and Hesper was eventually made real and became Helen.

And the little witch, Jasper, is her owner and is watching his doll turn live.

Jasper is Valmae's son. He's at school when I got the screen shot in the park.
I did some redecorating while I was making all of these imaginary friends real. I added the sofa and table and bookcase in the back. At the time I was wondering what to do with the ugly free wooden floor. I tried to recolour the tablecloth on that little round table and missed and did the floor instead. I liked the effect and decided to keep it. So they got a blue floor. Looks a lot better than the free brown wood.

The teen looking at the flowers on the round table is Sophia. She is an alien child born to Gene. Her mother and brother also live in the world and her alien brother is the father of one of the other little sims I posted about yesterday.

I also added extra bedrooms and bathrooms so everyone can have a sleep, not that they'll use them because I won't be playing these households much.
I've got a couple more random newly made over imaginary friends made real.
Here's Lance, previously Lucky.
https://i.postimg.cc/W4sXL6Hh/Lance-Bombay.jpg
Lance was the doll owned by James Bombay. James is an evil sim and he is a clone of Gene Bombay. He aged up to teen while living in Dark Harbor and I didn't get a chance to dress him so, if you watch my videos, James is the one you might see around town dressed as an Egyptian. I decided I'll leave him like that for now and maybe do something else with him when he ages up to Young Adult, or if I ever play his household.
The final newly made over Imaginary Friend made real is Carla. She was previously Cosmo and her owner is Joseph, the plant sim you see in the park in the screenshot above. Gene Bombay picked Joseph.

https://i.postimg.cc/K4XD9nTc/Carlas-Career-Outfit.jpg
This is Carla getting her career outfit. I dress them in Stylist and I've started giving them their career outfits first. Because I used to spend ages going through all of the hairs trying to find the perfect hair for them and then I'd carefully do all of their outfits to suit them with that hair and get to the career outfit and about 9 times out of 10 it will give them some random new hair that looks terrible. By then I'm over the whole process but I have to go back to the hairs and search and try to find the one I chose or, if that's too difficult something similar.
Sometimes I just keep the hair the career outfit gave them because it's something I would never have chosen myself but it looks ok so I keep it as otherwise I'd never have a sim with that hair in my game. I also keep some of the outfits the game generates for them, but not often.
There are a heap of other imaginary friends made real but I didn't get pictures of all of them. They will be seen in future videos once I have this game fully sorted out.
I also have to add Glenvale City to my list of worlds not to allow foreign sims to age in as I added it after I set that up in all of my worlds. So far only two of those worlds have been updated to recognise the additional world.
That's it from me for now. I'm back to transferring sims around to even out the world populations a bit.
Happy Simming All.
