Today is a new day and I missed yesterday too.
However the day before saw Nate Flower and his family moving into Twikkii Island.
I didn't get a shot of Nate but here's an old one so you know who I'm talking about.
Nate is holding his first baby, Gloria in this pic.

They were living in the Fairy Village in Barnacle Bay at the time.
And here is Nate's wife, Penelopie. She's holding their second baby daughter, Stephanie.

I played the fairy toddlers in the Boarding School at Barnacle Bay when I was focusing on getting them to maximise their skills from the Playpen and Walker as well as doing the regular toddler skills and reading all toddler books. So the two little girls became well educated. They shared their time at the boarding school with other fairy babies including Lydell Flower, who we saw age up to child yesterday and the children of Harry Flower who I posted about a few weeks ago. They are the fairies with the red wings.
The Nate Flower family have light yellow wings. Since they'd been toddlers for so long I had already aged up Lydell and now I'm going to age up Gloria and Stephanie as well as make their imaginary friends real and give all four of the little girls makeovers. Pics follow...
Penelopie had high logic skill and set to work discovering potions. It wasn't long before she found out about the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion.
Gloria had her birthday a few years ago so she was already a child and didn't need to age up. But her imaginary friend, Puzzle, needed to be made real. I think Puzzle really wanted to be real because as soon as I dragged her from Gloria's inventory she sprang into life.

Next thing was ageing up Stephanie. Here she is being carried by Nate to her birthday cake in their garden.

And everyone sat down inside the kitchen to eat a piece of Stephanie's birthday cake.

Stephanie's imaginary friend was originally named Fluffs. She also sprang into life as soon as I pulled her from Stephanie's inventory.
Penelopie made potions for Puzzle and Fluffs to be made over.
I took Puzzle into CAS and this is how she was

I got a side view to show why she didn't get to keep that hair.

I needed to look up girls names beginning with P and came up with Pheobe. I don't seem to have another Pheobe in my spreadsheet.
Unfortunately I didn't think of getting a good shot of Pheobe after her make over.
This is Gloria chatting with Pheobe

Obviously her pre-makeover look was unremarkable as I didn't manage to get a screenshot of it.
And this is Fluffs, who became Freya, after her makeover.

At this point it occurred to me that the two little girls, Gloria and Stephanie were looking very plain. I had never been happy with Gloria's look and now Stephanie looked just like her sister. So they both got makeovers. I found just changing their hairstyles made the most difference. I only gave them new hair and outfits. I didn't change anything about their faces. I might have given them new skins if they had EA skins. The new skins would have made them look more interesting too. But the hair did the most for them. I wasn't too sure about their facial features in CAS but after they got out of it they looked nice I thought. They were both born in game so I haven't touched their facial features in CAS.

I made sure all of the little girls did their child cooking and blocks skills. No need for them to go to boarding school again before they age up to teen.
Here they are working on their blocks.
Looks like Pheobe has been holding court and is in costume.

Faith Flower is an old sim I made many years ago and turned her into a fairy for this game. She lives alone and I moved her house from the Fairy Village in Barnacle Bay to a flat lot in Twikkii Island. Once I had the level right it was quite easy to turn her hilly lot into a flat lot. I worked out so long as I got the floor for the top of the stairs down to her underground living area, level with the surrounding terrain, I wouldn't have any problems with making the lot work on a flat area. I found the cheat SetImportedTerrainOffset was essential for moving all of those fairy houses into the new world as they had all been originally built on very hilly or steeply sloping ground in Barnacle Bay.

https://i.postimg.cc/NfhsNzL7/Screenshot-151.jpg
Lavender Rose Flower lives near Faith Flower but I didn't get any pics of her.
I needed to add an additional travelling sim for some reason. I think it was me trying to keep the family inventories from getting messed up and Isabel has a few things she's carrying with her at the moment. I might have to send her back to Moonfall Island just to dump her household inventory.
Anyway I added Mary Genie to the game. She hasn't been played much at all and isn't in any current games of mine. Here she is with Tina Flower. Tina is the mother of Lydell who I posted about a few days ago.
https://i.postimg.cc/9fxXJXqr/Screenshot-152.jpg
I'm gradually getting Twikkii Island populated. I'll double check a few things before sending Mary back to Moonfall Island to collect Isabel and another sim I needed to add to avoid catastrophe at some point. I forget her name so I hope I can find her. She's just an unplayed sim I found in my library. I made her but I don't remember anything about her. Some times I just make a sim and don't do anything with them. Or place them into a very short lived game.
Next post will be about the two Oxley families. I believe they were some of the reason for the terrible Error 12 problems I was having in Moonlight Falls. They both had huge basement gardens. They don't have gardens in Twikkii Island so far.
I am delighted to tell you that Moonlight Falls now has a population of about 81 of my played sims, they are mostly sims that came with the world, and that it now saves and plays smoothly. It was a nightmare to try to work with before all this moving started.
And Barnacle Bay finally plays and saves easily too. It was another world I avoided travelling to due to all of the issues I was having with it.
I bulldozed the houses in the fairy village and the extra houses I put into Moonlight Falls. There is still one fairy house in the fairy village because an elderly Inkbeard couple moved themselves into it. I will eventually bulldoze it but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.
There are a few empty houses in both Barnacle Bay and Moonlight Falls now too. So I expect I will at some time in the future need to move more sims out of those worlds if their populations keep on growing.
All of the fairies I moved out of the Fairy Village got to keep their houses in their new worlds. They are spread across a few different worlds in the game now.
I'm getting very close to the point where I can start playing with Oscar and making videos again. I need to move 13 sims from Sunlit Tides and 9 from Cake Island. They should all fit into Twikkii Island. There are a lot of empty houses in that world so I don't expect to need to take houses from Sunlit Tides or Cake Island but it could be more complicated if I just take the sims as I need to watch what happens with family inventories if I make them travel in groups of sims from different households.
Happy Simming All.
