The Story of Oscar and Louise

Here's the link to Oscar's Childhood Part 18.

https://youtu.be/TEVCGf71HcU

It is now on YouTube and available for you to watch. In this video the household are up to a variety of activities, including a game of soccer. The final two toddlers age up - meaning, by the end of the video there are no toddlers in the boarding school. There are 8 children, 4 teens and 4 young adults plus a dog.

Mena starts using the tractor to water the garden thereby allowing the gardeners to concentrate on harvesting.

I'm working on the next episode now. I'd like to move them all to Moonfall Island, but I have a household of sims living in that boarding school already and that would mean I'd need to move them on or risk overcrowding again. And I don't want to move them out of that build. Maybe I'll come up with another solution. I'll let you know what I do - when I know what it is going to be myself.

Happy Simming

Yesterday, real life time, I sent Mena to Lucky Palms with Allyson and Kathleen. All of them came from Lucky Palms and I'm leaving the two little girls there with their respective families.

Just before I sent them home from Chocolate Cake Island boarding school, I gave both little girls makeovers. I discovered they were still as the game made them when they had cake and turned into children.

Here they are on their way to school in Lucky Palms - they are currently living with Mena and her parents in Lucky Palms.

This is the Field's house in Lucky Palms - the currently active household.

Mena's mother, Emma. She's also Allyson's Great-Grandmother. She's an elder.

Mena's father, Jack - Allyson's Great-Grandfather. He wasn't entirely happy about being dragged out of bed to get his photo taken in his pyjamas. He's an adult but almost an elder.

And, for completeness - also not too thrilled with being dragged out of bed at 1:30 am for a photo shoot, here is Mena herself. a young adult - still quite a way to go before she ages up to adult.
https://i.postimg.cc/hPqPq9vL/Mena001.jpg

Today I've made a few decisions. I'm placing Alyson and Kathleen back in with their families. Then I'm taking Mena and her parents on a quick vacation to China. Both of Mena's parents have lifetime wishes that require adventure. I've never played them enough to take them on any adventures so far and I feel a little guilty about that. I don't know if I'll include any video of their vacation in the story as it doesn't really connect with Oscar in any way. Or I don't think it does. I also gave Mena's father a makeover. I think the game must have given him the clothes and hair he had - or else my head was in a very odd place at the time. He is currently about to become an elder in a few days. Mena's mother is already an elder. She's in the culinary career.

Ted is a Sim I made years ago as one of 8 unattached young adults in a household.

I used to make these households of 8 young adults and put them together and never leave the house with them. I'd build huge houses full of skilling objects and watch what they did autonomously and they got skills as they went along. When I got tired of them I'd save them to the library and make another household and that went on for years. The reason for that was my family trees kept breaking and I didn't have mods and when parents suddenly became strangers to their own toddlers I got so frustrated I just stopped playing families.

Well, when I was playing the original game with Patience, who was trying to get me the badge for a sim having 15 children, I grabbed Ted out of my library and added him to her household. I don't think I chose the version of him that had been played so he was a very young Young Adult at the time and Patience was already an adult. They had 4 children before she moved on to Christopher Steel and Ted ended up with Patience's eldest daughter, Helena. I should point out here, that the only Sim Patience ever married was Marty. And Marty divorced her when she ran off to live with Gobias. She had 5 more children with Gobias before seducing Ted.

Actually Helena chased after Ted and first I moved her out of the household and back in with her Father, Marty. But that didn't seem to stop her so I just left them to it and they had a couple of children together and seemed to be living happily enough together so I decided they ought to get married. By that time I'd made my Indoor Outdoor Wedding venue and I wanted to have a BIG wedding. At that point it occurred to me that Ted had no family to invite to his wedding. So I made him some parents and a teenage sister. That's how Mena and her parents came into being. By this time I had mods in my game so I was able to add the parents and Mena to Ted's family tree.

Here are some old pics of their wedding
https://i.postimg.cc/j5ZBzY48/Ted-And-Helena-W014.jpg

The tall bridesmaid, the teen in pink, is Mena.
https://i.postimg.cc/SsZ7s2TT/Ted-And-Helena-W004.jpg

The couple sitting in the front seat, and the man is looking at Mena and smiling, is the original version of Mena's parents. Before they got older. And that is Eric's father, Percy, sitting just behind Mena's mother's shoulder.

The little bridesmaid is one of Marty's daughters with Marcie. Marty is Helena's father.

A few members of the combines families are in this shot. I think is was meant to be just the wedding party.
https://i.postimg.cc/V6K9gbWX/Ted-And-Helena-W027.jpg

Helena's brother Harry is at the far left of the picture. Her father, Marty and her mother Patience are behind on the left. On the right are mostly Ted's family. The two little bridesmaids are Marty and Marcie's daughters, Helena's little half sisters. Mena is the teen in pink on the right and the teen in pink on the left is one of Helena's half sisters. I think she could be Allyson's mother. That would make her a daughter of Ted and Patience. And finally, the young male on the right is Percy. He is Helena's half brother and father of Eric and Susanna.

This is an interesting picture.

https://i.postimg.cc/nz0bh2fy/Ted-And-Helena-W001.jpg

It shows Ted waiting for Helena. Helena is at the back with her father Marty. Up above, the dark haired sim in pink is Haley. She's Kathleen's mother. You can also see Patience sitting in the front wearing the blue dress. She's doing her usual Patience thing - waving at the celebrant and trying to flirt with him. The other sim in blue is holding a toddler. She's another of Patience and Ted's daughters. She's Heather and she currently lives in Sunlit Tides.

There is another sim about half way back in the seating. She can be seen just behind the little girl in pink who is standing in front of the seats. That's Marcie. She is the mother of the two a little girls in pink. She's Marty's second wife. They got married after Patience ran off with Gobias and left Marty with 5 children to raise alone.

This is a better shot of Marcie. The teen with the spiky hair behind Marcie is Harry. He's Haley's son and Kathleen's half brother. Harry inherited the Imaginary Friend trait as his father is Bob. Bob is Percy's Imaginary Friend made real who married Haley. They had one baby together before she ran off to live with Gobias - while I wasn't playing their household. I had 'happy families' ideas for Haley and Bob. But the game/Haley decided otherwise. She always wanted to be with much older male sims.
https://i.postimg.cc/hj2rfcBM/HwD118.jpg

Marcie and Marty are both elders now and live in Dark Harbor in the Big Game. Four of their young adult children live there too but are gradually moving out to set up homes of their own. Oscar and Eric will visit them all eventually.

The celebrant has his back to the camera. He was made to do this job and I tried to keep him in the game after that but he was too crazy for me to cope with so he got evicted. Since then I've mellowed a bit and if you watch the series I'm doing on Caroline and Friends, well I've just added a few new sims to her household and this same sim is one of that new household. I can't wait to see what it's like to play with him as his trait combination is unusual for me and he is a very different type of sim to play. I think he'll add lots of laughter to the videos - I'll just have to remember not to make any actual plans for him as I find him difficult to direct when played with full autonomy on and I must play with full autonomy as that is how the game is fun for me. I love to see what sims do without direction.

This is a picture of James Karter (the celebrant in Ted and Helena's wedding but now a member of Caroline's household in Caroline and Friends video series)
https://i.postimg.cc/x14RXjWP/James-Karter-Sunlit-Tides001.jpg

This is a picture from Heather's wedding to Duncan. (Heather's the sim in blue holding the toddler in a pic above. One of Helena's sisters and a daughter of Patience and Marty)
https://i.postimg.cc/4dwDsYx3/HwD123.jpg

Later on I accidentally added another copy of Ted to the Big Game. So I changed the second version of Ted's name to Alf and added him to the family tree as Ted's brother. Alf currently lives with some townies in Sunlit Tides. He has a couple of children of his own somewhere too. Or at least I think he does.

So Now I just want to play a little with Mena and her parents. Mena is getting some lifetime happiness and skills but her parents are a bit frustrated with lack of attention from me.

Apart from all of this, when I send Kathleen home to her household I've decided to age her little sister, Jaimie, up to child. I'll check she's done all of her toddler skills and read all the books first. I'm pretty sure she has, as have most of the toddlers in that household. But I'll only age up the eldest toddler at this point. None of them were multiple births. I will show video of her household because Oscar will probably get to know all of them eventually. Same for when I send Allyson home.

I just realised - in their complicated family tree it turns out that Kathleen is half sister to Percy Koffi. Which means she's Eric's half-aunt.

That's it from me for now. I'm off to send the little girls back to their respective homes and take Mena and her parents on their first vacation to China.

Happy Simming all

I just finished Episode 19 of Oscar's Childhood. I loaded it to YouTube last night and was about to close down my computer this morning when I remembered I have to make it available for you to watch. So I've done that now.

https://youtu.be/6TcRHMvCBf0

In this episode we open at the Boarding School in Chocolate Cake Island. Oscar and his friends continue to work on their skills and go to school. We see Mena harvesting with the tractor in the garden. That was caused be me clicking the wrong menu choice. I'd meant to tell her to fertilise. Thought I might as well let you see her harvesting too since I had the video of it.

Then Mena takes Kathleen and Allyson home to Lucky Palms. They all stay with Mena's parents at first. Then I send the girls to their own homes and Mena takes her parents on a vacation to China. That was because her parents have lifetime wishes to either get to visa level 3 in all WA worlds or to complete 6 tombs in each world. I've not played with them much and they've not even started working on their LTW. I don't plan to try to get them to complete them but I wanted them to have at least one vacation before they finally die of old age. We see them arrive in China but not much else. As I say in the video it is not about completing tombs and if you need to see tomb walkthroughs there is the Isla Paradiso Bunch videos in which I've already done detailed tomb walkthroughs.

Updated background info on Oscar's Childhood video.

I've now moved Oscar and a few of his buddies from the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island to the new boarding school in Moonfall Island.

I've not spent much time playing in this boarding school and it isn't completely finished. I hope I don't introduce lag as I add to it. I suspect I will though. It is currently totally lag free.

Moonfall Island Boarding School

https://i.postimg.cc/pXnK1Pnp/Moonfall-Island-Boarding-School001.jpg

Yes - it's built into a slope.

If you're watching my videos on Oscar's Childhood while he's been at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island, you will have noticed the videos only included sims living at the boarding school. That was because that world didn't have other sims living in it other than a few role sims the game had generated and the sims living at the boarding school didn't interact with them.

If you watch the Moonfall Island version of this video series you will notice a difference. There are a lot of sims living in the world. Many of them are homeless or role sims the game has introduced. A lot more of these than are in Chocolate Cake Island. Plus there are a lot of my sims that I've added to the world. This post is meant to give you an introduction to the sims living at the boarding school. I'll add some information on other sims living elsewhere in the world later on - maybe. There are a lot of them.

I left a few sims back at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. I will work on including them in the game in future but for now I will leave them alone in that world. While they are there they won't age so they'll still be playable whenever I decide to go get them.

The sims I left behind are Mena and the Winterbottom family - Carlie, Bruce and their son Francesco.

I wasn't sure of how many sims I would find already living in the boarding school at Moonfall Island and I didn't want to overcrowd it. As it turned out, there were more sims already living at the new boarding school than I had anticipated. It surprised me there was no lag - but this build is new and it has no garden at all and very few contents other than things the sims will need to do their essential activities. As I move sims out of this building, I will move others in and that might include the sims I left behind in Chocolate Cake Island.

Here are the current residents of the boarding school in Moonfall Island. They will be the stars of the next few episodes of Oscar's Childhood.

I will list them in order of age...

Gaylord Koffi

https://i.postimg.cc/zB0k5pJv/Gaylord-Koffi001.jpg

Adult

Father of Gobias Koffi.

The reason Gaylord is here is Gobias's ghost has vanished from my game. I'm contemplating ways of getting him back. The only one I can think of right now is to add his tombstone to one of the worlds in the game again. That's how I got Gobias and Gaylord into the game originally. I had them haunting the boarding school in Cake Island.

The reason I needed Gobias's ghost was several of his children had dropped him from their family tree and as a result they were no longer related to each other. So I sent a sim to Sunset Valley and he picked up their tombstones and returned to Cake Island with them. Then I used Master Controller to add Gobias to the family trees from which he was missing. All was good until Gobias went missing. He's still in the family trees, but only as a white square. I was not controlling Gobias or Gaylord at the time. Since Gobias had vanished on me, I grabbed Gaylord and eventually got him to eat ambrosia. While he is in the family trees, Gobias will probably stay there even if he is only a blank white square.

Gaylord wants to be a hit movie composer and he's currently a Fan, level 1 of the music career. I suppose I ought to leave him in it for now.

Just in case you haven't noticed, sometimes, when you first start a new game in Sunset Valley you get a message about it being a shame Gaylord Koffi had died from starvation. Something about it being so sad a sim had died just for the lack of a sandwich. If you go into the graveyard in Sunset Valley you'll find Gaylord's tombstone. It's a tall tombstone in that graveyard.

Erica Wolff

https://i.postimg.cc/fRzmWmr0/Erica-Wolff001.jpg

Young Adult but she's the eldest Young Adult in the lot. She came from Moonlight Falls originally, but was at the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school with her children Wilhemina and Gator.

She wants to become a professional athlete and get to level 9 of that career. I'll probably move her to that career once she gets her gardening, fishing and cooking skills up to where I want them to be.

They will all be returning to their original home in Moonlight Falls eventually. They need to learn a few things first though.

Erica has been placed her into the culinary career by the game - this seems to have happened when she landed in this world. Probably there is no garden around for her to use to continue with the gardening career I think I already had her in to keep her around the house during the days. She's level 1 in the culinary career. I'll probably get her into a different career that'll keep her at home. I suspect I'll add a small garden somewhere on the boarding school lot so they can all learn their gardening skill. I hope that doesn't introduce lag. Only time will tell.

Isabel Howe
https://i.postimg.cc/Z5sBTgN1/Isabel-Howe001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/522QW1XB/Isabel-Howe002.jpg

Isabel is an old sim I made years ago and grabbed from my library. I gave her a makeover. She was probably originally made to be a member of a household of 8 young adults. This version of Isabel hasn't been previously played so she hasn't got much in the way of skills. That's probably the reason she's at the boarding school. Currently her only skill is at level 1 - it is writing. Her LTW is Master Magician so I'll probably put her in the magician career fairly soon.

Many of the sims who were already at this new boarding school are in the fortune telling career. Isabel is in that career - at level 1.

The gypsy caravan, vault of antiquity and arboretum are in a park very close to the boarding school.
https://i.postimg.cc/3JnWB6td/Supernatural-Park001.jpg

It is so close to the boarding school the sims could walk there easily. But the carpool arrives for them each day and they have to run farther to get into the car than they'd have to run to get to the park to go to work. It can be entertaining to watch the antics of getting to and from work each day, but I think I'll move most of them to a different career.

Coral Carpenter
https://i.postimg.cc/Fzn5fjxs/Coral-Carpenter002.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/PxykHGpD/Coral-Carpenter001.jpg

Coral is a new sim I made last year. She has been played a bit in another game before moving her here. She does have quite a few skills already.

She wants to be a Seasoned Traveler. I don't think I'll be taking her on any vacations in the foreseeable future.

Kaylie Flower
https://i.postimg.cc/dVbrKpr4/Kaylee-Flower001.jpg

Kaylie Flower is a fairy. She was made at the same time I made Coral Carpenter. I was having fun making a few sims at that time and they were all different. Except for Kaylie. She is a clone, a made over version, of Paula Flower who is a fairy I made a few years ago.

Kaylie likes to sleep in the fairy house which has been placed indoors for her comfort.

https://i.postimg.cc/W3XxKMC6/Kaylee-Flower002.jpg

Kaylie's LTW is Magic Makeover. She's a Horoscope Reader currently.

Kaylie has only one skill - she's level 1 with the guitar.

Elouise Britton

https://i.postimg.cc/br5WYqzZ/Elouise-Britton002.jpg

Her LTW is Perfect Student.

She is level 1 in Logic and has no other skills. Her current job is Kitchen Scullion.

Eloise has a special relationship with Oscar. She's the mysterious sim who turned up to rescue Oscar and deliver him to the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. She is also the mysterious sim who was occupying the house that ought to have been empty when Mena arrived in Lucky Palms with Kathleen and Allyson.

Elouise is meant to be in the boarding school in Moonfall Island so she has now come home. Last time she was living here she was in the Horoscope Reader job. Obviously the game decided to move her to a new job. She's been around a bit since she was last in her home world and probably there was no gypsy caravan for her to continue with her original career in one of more of the worlds she's been in since she left on her mission to rescue Oscar.

https://i.postimg.cc/9QRZKCRD/Elouise-Britton.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/yNK58Qzy/Elouise-Britton003.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/tgzcZ3qQ/Elouise-And-Kaylee001.jpg


Harvey Miller

Harvey is a new sim. Made at the same time as Coral and Kaylee. A few other sims I made at this time are living in various houses around Moonfall Island.

https://i.postimg.cc/FsKjbjhg/Harvey-Miller001.jpg

Harvey was having a very animated conversation when I got that shot and it was the 'best' of a bad lot as he was pulling a lot of faces at the time.

Harvey's LTW is Celebrity Psychic. Maybe I'll leave him in the Horoscope Career.

His only skill is Writing and is at level 3.

All of the above sims, except for Gaylord Koffi, are young adults. Harvey being the youngest.

Now we move on to the teens.

Bailey Swain

A townie from Moonlight Falls.

I moved her to this boarding school due to lag in Chocolate Cake Island. I did this ages ago, long before I got the idea of sending Oscar to a boarding school anywhere so she's been here, forgotten by me, for a very long time. Fortunately she's just as young as the day I left her here.
https://i.postimg.cc/fW6hhvkB/Bailey-Swain-Whilemina-Wolff001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/Kvst0RzX/Bailey-Swain.jpg

Bailey seems to have done most of the skilling I'd want her to do. I'll keep her around for a while to be sure and then send her home. She might wait for the Wolffs to be ready to go home so I can send them all home together and pick up the remainder of the sims from Chocolate Cake Island on the way back to Moonfall Island.

Eric Koffi

I think anyone who has been watching the videos will know all about Eric so I won't say much here.

https://i.postimg.cc/1XF2zL4M/Eric-Koffi002.jpg

He's a teen, will be Oscar's best buddy for a long time and lives permanently in my boarding schools due to parental neglect. His little sister is with him.

Eric's LTW is Illustrious Author. He has almost completed this with just a little way to go with his writing skill to complete his LTW of getting to level 10 in both painting and writing.

Eric was an A Grade at school but the move to Moonfall Island made the game reset him, and all the other children and teens, to Grade of C.

Now for the children.

Whilemina Wolff

https://i.postimg.cc/FHpq1bst/Whilemina-Wolff001.jpg

Whilemina is about to age up to teen so she's going to have to concentrate at school to get back up to Grade A in order for me to be able to choose her new trait.

She is from Moonlight Falls and is the daughter of Erica.

Her LTW is Master Magician.

Jeanette Bright

https://i.postimg.cc/JnDdT93m/Jeanette-Bright001.jpg

I picked up Jeanette from the Inkbeard family in Barnacle Bay. She didn't seem to belong there. She isn't in the Sims Wiki (or I couldn't find any reference to her). She was a toddler when I got her and when she was ready to go home as a child I decided to keep her in the boarding school. She got moved to Moonfall Island boarding school ages ago as I needed space in Chocolate Cake Island Boarding School and I had nowhere else to send her. She's seems to be just a stray, apparently unattached child the game created in Barnacle Bay.

Oscar Jacobsen

The star of the Oscar's Childhood series of videos.

https://i.postimg.cc/65Lb1VZ7/Oscar-Jacobsen001.jpg

His story is long and involved - he has no Lifetime Wish at the moment. Briefly, he is an orphan and thinks his entire family was killed in a meteor strike caused by an evil alien his family had taken in and given a home to.

Petal Jayne
https://i.postimg.cc/PJnKSNrz/Petal-Jayne003.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/8Csy5q0W/Petal-Jayne001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/63vYVCwp/Petal-Jayne002.jpg

Petal is a plant sim. She was picked in game by Olivia, the founder of my Perfect Genetics series of videos.

The Petal in the Moonfall Island boarding school is a copy of the original Petal who is still living happily in her original family.

I wanted her to be in my Colourful Mermaids household and videos. So I took a copy of her. I've since broken up that household and moved Petal to this boarding school. I might eventually move her back in with someone else from that Mermaid household. Several of them are living in Moonfall Island.

When Petal aged up she had a very unfortunate look around her eyes. She got a bit of plastic surgery from me to fix the unsightly problem. I was worried when she aged up to child in the Perfect Genetics series I'd have a similar problem. Fortunately she didn't have that issue there so that version of Petal as the game made her.

Susanne Koffi

Susanne is Eric's little sister. Her parents are Percy Koffi and Lorna McCann who are very happily married and living in Lucky Palms. They have absolutely no time for their babies/children as they just want to be with each other.

Susanne, Eric and their father, Percy, are all witches.

https://i.postimg.cc/43r13ntk/Susanna-Koffi001.jpg

Susanne recently aged up from toddler while at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. She will stay at the boarding schools until she is old enough to fend for herself - unless Eric decides to take her adventuring with himself and Oscar later on.

Gator Wolff

Gator is the son of Erica and little brother of Wilhemina

https://i.postimg.cc/j2TQz9ZM/Gator-Wolff001.jpg

Gator recently aged up to child at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island.

Erica, Wilhemina and Gator are all werewolves.

Wilhemina and Petal.

I'll post more info on the other sims I have placed in Moonfall Island later on.

You will already know a few of them from earlier videos. There are several from the colourful mermaids household, including the only three toddlers in the world - Mary Azul and Sandy Seaworth who are mermaids, and Gavyn Flower who is a fairy. They are clones of Mia Azul, Salty Seaworth and George Flower.

That's it for now.

Happy Simming all.

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.

https://i.postimg.cc/tgrX7rJs/Tammys-Ghost001.jpg

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.

https://i.postimg.cc/3RDP79v5/Ambrosia001.jpg

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.

https://i.postimg.cc/KjtS7QGr/Patience002.jpg

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

This video is about returning Allyson and Kathleen to their homes in Lucky Palms.

It starts in China with Mena and her parents. Then moves on to Allyson's home where she now lives with her parents. We see a short look back into Allyson's mother's childhood. Tammy was killed by a meteor as a child and her mother got her to eat Ambrosia eventually. We see a short episode of little Tammy haunting her home. We also get to meet Allyson's father, Jebidiah Wilson, and her little sister.

Next we go to Kathleen's home which is large and full of toddlers and a baby. Haley is Kathleen's mother. She is the mother of 9 children, 8 of them live with her and 6 are still toddlers with one baby. During the visit we get to know something of the other members of this household and see some more of their extended family out and about Lucky Palms. There are two birthdays during this time - Kathleen's little sisters - one ages up from Toddler to Child and the other from baby to toddler.

In the end we go back to Mena who moves in with Elouise and we see them leave Lucky Palms to travel back to Chocolate Cake Island.

There are all sorts of little complications and adventures sprinkled throughout the video.

Have fun and Happy Simming

The upcoming episode 21 of this story will have a brand new thumbnail to reflect Oscar's move from the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school to the new boarding school at Moonfall Island.

They travel to Moonfall Island and move into the new boarding school.

We see the base camp, the boarding school and get to meet a few of the sims from Moonfall Island.

@Karritz: Great update on Oscar's childhood. Your boarding school is awesome.

Thank you. I think this will be a much more active place for the story as the sims around town are so active and involved with the sims in the boarding school.
