The Story of Oscar and Louise

I've almost finished the huge job of moving sims to new worlds to reduce the number of sims in any world. I still may find I need to add at least one more world if any of the worlds still in the game end up giving me problems. I've got graphics on minimums at the moment but won't want them like that when I get back to making the videos. Having said that, I have recorded snippets of what I've been up to over the past month and a half and might put some of them together to make some sort of out takes video at some stage. Just to give you a look at some of the sims in the game that you'll probably never see in a story but might see wandering around in the background of various videos.

I've been having a stressful and busy time over the past few days and haven't had much time for sims. Haven't loaded the game some days. But I do have a few screen shots I haven't posted yet so thought I'd use this post to do a catch up.

I left off aging up toddlers and making their Imaginary Friends real and giving them all makeovers when they started the Child stage of their lives.

Mostly the Oxleys

The Oxley household from Moonlight Falls, now living in Twikkii Island.

Here is Phil Oxley at home eating birthday cake with one of his children.

No hair on the child indicates to me she is Olive just after aging up and before her makeover.

I had some problems loading screenshots to postimg so had to stop posting them at this point. Now I'll try to continue from this point. I hope I can work out who everyone is now as it's been a while since I got the screen shots. Lucky I've got my spreadsheet to refer to.

I've been sending some of the young sims off to do classes while others are completing tasks at home.

Phil Oxley got added to my game twice so I renamed the second copy of him Eddie Oxley and Eddie is married to Chris. Chris and Eddie have two children who have been toddlers waiting for my attention for several real life years. They are Wayne and Jane. I just aged them up to child after sending them to the household of Tina and Will Flower with their son Lydell who has also just aged up after spending a really long time as a toddler. I turned this Flower household into a temporary boarding school and sent a lot of the uneducated young sims there to get their skills together before returning them to their own homes.

Rowan Oxley is the imaginary friend made real of Wayne Oxley. Wayne is Jane's older brother if you remember them from their time at the boarding school as toddlers.

I sent Rowan off to do a class - probably fishing class. Much later I found him playing catch with Freya Flower. Freya is the Imaginary Friend made real belonging to Stephanie Flower, she is one of Nate Flower's daughters. I posted details of the Nat Flower household in an earlier post.

https://i.postimg.cc/pTmBxxCs/Freya-Flower-And-Rowan-Oxley001.jpg

I sent Rowan home as it was getting late.

I'm now resorting to looking up baby names for these imaginary friends made real. I try to give them a new name starting with the first letter of the name they had as imaginary friend dolls.

Olive Oxley is Phil's daughter seen eating cake with her father in the pic above. Phil's wife is Gloria Flower, a fairy. All three of their children are werewolves like Phil.

Olive Oxley's imaginary friend was named Patches. When she became real I named her Piper.

Here is Piper Oxley after her makeover.
https://i.postimg.cc/K8bQT6cY/Piper-Oxley.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/q7bG9gst/Piper-Oxley002.jpg

Piper is Olive's Imaginary Friend made real.

I remembered I had not made Lydell Flower's Imaginary Friend real so returned to that Flower household as I felt I should get rid of all of the dolls before moving on the finalise Cake Island. There are only a couple of households left for me to fix here in Twikkii Island. But that meant I still had quite a few children to teach their child skills to and there might be a few toddlers who still need to read books and learn toddler skills. So I made this Flower household into a sort of pretend boarding school and moved toddlers and children with dolls to be made real in with the Flowers.

More Oxleys plus a few others

I aged up Jane Oxley and eventually gave her a makeover.

https://i.postimg.cc/prZr65j4/Jane-Oxley001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/CMHR1X27/Jane-Oxley002.jpg

Jane was born in game to Eddie and Chris Oxley so I left her facial features alone. In this instance, I just gave her new hair. I may have changed some of her outfits as well as some of the outfits the game gave her were not quite what I wanted for her. She's a werewolf.

Here are a few of the children. I have placed a toy oven for them to do their cooking skill and they have a play table too.

The doll is Jane Oxley's doll named Bo bo. That's Jane cooking at the toy oven before I gave her a makeover. The boy walking away with a plate in his hand is Rowan Oxley, Wayne's IF made real, and the one sitting with the curly blonde hair is Patrick Flower, Lydell's IF made real. Not sure who is holding court. Probably it is Lydell but it could be Wayne Oxley but is probably Max Webb.

Max's parents are Dave and Edith Webb. He now has a baby brother Gareth. I posted about the Webb household a few days ago. They moved from Moonlight Falls to Twikkii Island.

The Hayes-Barram household.

I had added a group of sims to my game and found one of them was a duplicate of Marcie who is married to Marty Hansen (the ex-husband of Patience). I renamed the copy of Marcie Moira Hayes and then went through a complicated process of making 6 ghosts. Two of the ghosts were Marcie's deceased parents, two were Moira's deceased parents and the final pair where the grandparents Marcie and Moira shared. Thereby I managed to make Marcie and Moira cousins. I don't think I'll put myself through that again.

I left Moira to do her own thing and she lived alone and was in the Investigator Career. She seemed to be doing well in that career. Then I realised she was getting close to becoming an elder and had no family yet. So I decided to give her some instant babies. I picked a male sim randomly from the list provided. He was Alf Fields. Alf is the brother of Ted Fields because I accidentally added a second copy of Ted to the game and renamed him Alf. Ted is an ex-partner of Patience.

Moira had two instant sons with Alf as the father. At that point Alf and Moira hadn't met each other but Alf seemed to know they were his sons and used to drop in to visit them. Alf was a very young YA at the time. I had another YA male sim named William Barram. I again gave Marcie two instant babies and chose William to be their father. This resulted in two girls. Marcie and William seemed to hit it off and he moved in with her and the babies. I think she needed help with four instant babies suddenly turning up at her place.

I posted earlier about losing a child in Sunlit Tides and managing to go back to an earlier save and used Porter mod to add him back into his family. Well this is that family. I moved the household from Sunlit Tides to Twikkii Island. Alf, the father of two of the children, was moved from Sunlit Tides to Twikkii Island as well so he is still able to see his sons.

I didn't do much with any of Moira's four children. When I moved them to Twikkii Island I found Alice, her eldest daughter had already aged up to teen.

https://i.postimg.cc/Y0RnC7ZZ/Alice-Barram001.jpg

I took Alice into CAS and Stylist and gave her new skin and clothes but left her face and hair alone. She was born in game to Moira and William.

Alice had an imaginary friend named Puzzle in her inventory. She turned it real. I gave Puzzle a makeover and she became Pia.

https://i.postimg.cc/ZYWx9r30/Alice-Barram-And-Puzzle001.jpg

This is Pia.
https://i.postimg.cc/J47YdyBL/Pia-Barram001.jpg

Donald Fields is the eldest of Moira's sons and he aged up to teen automatically as soon as I arrived in Sunlit Tides to collect them.

https://i.postimg.cc/g0hg681v/Donald-Fields001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/qvSmRjDJ/Donald-Fields002.jpg

Donald had an imaginary friend named Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean became real and turned into Jonah.

Here is Alf with his imaginary friend Boinky.

https://i.postimg.cc/1RbcDfcB/Alf-And-Boinky-Fields.jpg

Alf jnr aged up to teen two days after Donald did. I hope I managed to get him to do his child skills before he aged up. I'm pretty sure I did.

Here is Alf jnr as a teen. He was born in game so I didn't change his facial features or hair colour.
https://i.postimg.cc/3N0NKrkJ/Alf-Fields-As-Teen.jpg

Alf's Boinky became Breanna
https://i.postimg.cc/QCYQzdR8/Breanna-Boinky-Fields.jpg

The youngest child of this household is Lucy. She is still a child.

Here is Lucy after I gave her some new hair and clothes. She was born in game so no attempt was made to alter her features or hair colour. She did get a new skin. I don't like the ring around the neck that a lot of the EA skins have and most of the custom skins don't have that problem in my game.
https://i.postimg.cc/QN7WGS1g/Lucy-Barram001.jpg

Lucy's imaginary friend was Jelly Bean. Here is Lucy with Jelly Bean before I took Lucy into Stylist.

The teens were all arriving home from the prom.

The scariest household for me to move from Sunlit Tides was the Doweling household. Now I think this household was the one most likely to be causing problems with saving in Sunlit Tides.

Those of you who have been reading my posts for years may remember a huge wedding I set up for Heather and Duncan. Heather is Patience's daughter. The second born to Patience and Marty Hansen. So Heather should be an Adult now, almost an elder but Duncan gave her a Young Again Potion - or maybe she made it for herself. So she's a young adult again.

I'll just throw in one pic from their wedding.
https://i.postimg.cc/pTqHq1br/HwD053.jpg

This couple did a lot of travelling. So their house was packed full of stuff they brought home with them. They also had a huge garden and lots of decor items.

Then there was the sim bot Heather made. And the mummy they got by putting copic jars into a sarcophagus. It turns out that mummy and sim bot lived together in the house for real life years and I only just discovered they were terrified of each other.

Apart from Heather and Duncan and Ryan (the Simbot) and Nayr Perasonotep (the mummy) there was Heather's son she had with her Imaginary Friend way back. Since Heather had her young again potion she's a young adult but her son is an adult. His name is Perry Hansen and he is a pyromaniac. I did some research and it appears that children of imaginary friends often get this trait. Then there are the toddlers. Duncan and Heather had a son, David and Duncan got some DNA from a sim in France and cloned her. Plus, of course, Patience's last partner, Christopher Steel. Christopher and Patience visited Heather and Duncan once and when it came time for them to return to Legacy Island III Christopher refused to go so he stayed with Heather and Duncan. I went to have a look at Legacy Island III expecting to find another version of Christopher there but he wasn't. I think Patience's flirting with so many other sims must have made him want to run away from her. So he stayed with Heather, Duncan, Perry, Ryan, Nayr, David and Jolena and the two dogs in a house that was overfull of stuff and harvestables.

I moved them and most of their stuff in two moves. Then I moved Christopher out to live on his own. I noticed the terror that happened when Ryan and Hayr came near each other and moved them into separate houses but they ended up next door to each other. Later I found the game had moved one of them to another house that was a long way away from the other one. I think it was Ryan that moved.

I got Perry to make his imaginary friend real and then moved them out together. That left only Heather, Duncan, David and Jolena with the two dogs in the original household. Hopefully the game will cope better with this arrangement. They don't have a garden in their new home but they do have a lot of their stuff.

David's imaginary friend was Lucky and Lucky became Leo.
https://i.postimg.cc/RCW2MJZL/David-And-Leo.jpg

Jolena's imaginary friend was Wiggles and Wiggles became Walter.
https://i.postimg.cc/dtdXCMd7/Walter-And-Jolena001.jpg

And here's Perry
https://i.postimg.cc/yx3mwHB0/Perry-Hansen.jpg
He was born in game so I just gave him a skin. I think he kept his original hair.

Perry's imaginary friend was Lucky and Lucky became Lydia.
https://i.postimg.cc/FFw81Ff5/Lydia-Hansen.jpg

I don't usually change the traits of the imaginary friends becoming real unless I really don't like them. But in this instance I changed a couple of Lydia's traits to make her and Perry compatible and moved them in a house together. Hopefully they'll end up getting married by the game. He is the son of an imaginary friend and a human. She is an imaginary friend made real. It might be interesting if they decide to start a family together.



Finally, this is the Koffi family. Also known as the family of imaginary friends.

I moved them from Sunlit Tides and move them into their original house that I'd saved to my library for them.

This is an interesting little family.


Bob Koffi is the first imaginary friend I ever made real. I was so excited. I'd never seen it happen before. Bob's original owner was Percy Koffi. Percy is the son of Patience and Gobias Koffi. Percy is the father of Eric who will be roaming the worlds on adventures with his sister Susanne and their friend Oscar of Oscar's Teen Years video series. It is just possible Eric and co might visit this household at some stage of the series.

Here is Bob Koffi. Just add an o the the end of his name to get his original name before he became real.

https://i.postimg.cc/Hxc3C59J/BobKoffi.jpg

If you've been watching the videos and reading my previous posts you will know that Patience's daughter, Haley, married her half-brother's imaginary friend made real. Well Bob was originally married to Haley. They had a baby together and Haley made a plumbot while they were married and living together. Then suddenly, while I was playing another household, I discovered Haley had moved out. She wasn't happy with Bob apparently and she went to live with Gobias Koffi. Now I was a bit surprised about this because Gobias was the father of Haley's half-brother, Percy. And Bob was Percy's imaginary friend made real. Patience and Gobias had never been married to each other but they did have five children together.

Haley stayed with Gobias until he finally died of old age and they had four children together. She now lives with her new husband in Lucky Palms and she has had lots more children. Some with her husband, but she seems to like Shark Racket too and occasionally has another baby with him. I've lost count of how many she has now but we will see Eric, Susanne and Oscar staying with her household at some point during the video series.

Now, Harry is the son Haley and Bob had together.

Harry is the first time I knew an imaginary friend could be born in game. Harry is an imaginary friend. And Harry got an imaginary friend doll in his inventory when he was a baby.

Harry is a teen. I was going to age him up to Young Adult as he's been a teen for a long time but then decided to keep him and his imaginary friend made real in this household for a while longer. They are in the bottom basement of their home watching Harry's step mother play the drums.

Harry and Ronan are enjoying the music
https://i.postimg.cc/h4VbbKyq/Harry-And-Ronan-Enjoying-The-Music.jpg

Harry and Ronan spun into their toy form for a few minutes to demonstrate they are both imaginary friends. Harry was born as an imaginary friend and Ronan is Harry's imaginary friend doll made real.
https://i.postimg.cc/26ZdtYCh/Harry-And-Ronan-In-Toy-Form.jpg

Then they spun back into their Sim form.
https://i.postimg.cc/gkdyg1QL/Harry-And-Ronan-Koffi.jpg

Kitty Koffi is playing the drums. She is pulling a bit of a face here. I have some very pretty pics of her as a bride when she married Bob.
https://i.postimg.cc/L5ktHVYs/Kitty-Koffi001.jpg

I made Kitty as a single sim for one of my households of 8 unrelated sims and added her to the game. She and Bob met and decided to marry without any input from me.

I noticed Bob is an extreme example of a family oriented sim. He took wonderful care of Harry when they were alone together. I often saw the pair of them around town together. Most sims leave their toddlers home alone when they go out. But when Bob wasn't working he and was out around town he was always carrying Harry when Harry was still a toddler. When Harry aged up to child he'd walk with his father when they were not home.

Then when Bob was committed to Kitty I hadn't played them for ages and was playing Sally Bartlett. I wanted to get Bob to have a baby with Sally but he absolutely refused to cooperate. So I gave them an instant baby, Tina.

Tina was raised by Bob and Kitty. She is also an imaginary friend who received an imaginary friend doll when she was a baby. Tina made her imaginary friend real and here she is with Rowena. They spun into their toy form as well just to show you they can.

Riley Koffi about to become Rowena

The girls did all of their child skills together.
https://i.postimg.cc/T1cb8YFL/Tina-And-Rowena-Cooking.jpg

Because Tina is a daughter of Sally, she has several half-brothers and half-sisters. One of her half-sisters was at the boarding school in Moonfall Island and if you watched the recent Oscar's Teen Years videos you will have seen her there. She is Kirsten Faulks.
https://i.postimg.cc/WzrXXh2N/KirstenFaulks.jpg

After Bob and Kitty were married they had a baby girl together. She was still a toddler and I managed to get her to learn her toddler skills and read her toddler books before aging her up to child. She then turned her imaginary friend real. I was a little disappointed to discover Katy is not an imaginary friend. She's just a human sim. Katy's doll was named Patterns and she became Poppy after her makeover.

And that's it. All caught up for now. I still have to have a look at Cake Island.

I've been working hard over the past few days trying to fix Cake Island. I can now see why I ran away from it when I visited initially.

There are a lot of young sims in this world that need attention. The world was slightly overpopulated so I should have been able to fix it by just moving one or two households out.

I moved the Black Household. It consisted of a family with 5 children.

Rod and Fleur Black are an old pair of sims I made ages ago. Fleur is the first fairy I ever made just after Supernatural was released. I made Rod at some point but don't remember if I made him specifically for her or not. I think I've only ever played him with her though.

I moved the entire household and their house to a new world. That's really All I had to do. But I didn't stop there.

The world I chose for them is 'Ridgeview - in Summer'. It is empty. Flat. Nothing in it other than geographic features and empty lots. It took me ALL Day to add buildings to the community lots. Then I had to do the rabbit holes. I think I got them all eventually. So I moved the family in.

I was aging them up and working on skills first. Then I needed to buy books. I told Fleur to buy books on line but it was greyed out and it said there was no bookshop in the world to shop for books on line at. So I added a bookshop.

I just plonked the rabbit holes down onto the lots and rarely did any decorating to the lots. They look a bit 'different' with huge business buildings sitting on mowed grass. Then I thought - I've seen that look before - when I was working I had to go to Canberra a few times. That's the Australian Capital City. And I saw lots of huge Government buildings with just grass - no concrete or anything covering the grass. They just have grass growing from the footpath right up to the bottom of the walls. So I am planning to leave the commercial buildings in Ridgeview with just grass around them - mostly.

I didn't get many screen shots. None of Ridgeview actually. I did manage a few of the Black family members. The youngest is a daughter named Yvonne. When I moved them Yvonne was a toddler. She is a fairy and I didn't manage to get a screen shot of her as a toddler. She completed her toddler skills and read her toddler books.

Here is Yvonne Black in Stylist
https://i.postimg.cc/hPjQQvnt/Yvonne-Black001.jpg

She was born in game so I gave her new hair and outfits.

Yvonne made her Imaginary Friend, Rags real.

I needed a potion to turn all of their imaginary friends real. I set Fleur and Felicity to work making the potions. Felicity is the first alien baby any of my sims had born in a game. She came along a few years after 2014. I don't remember exactly when. She was at the boarding school long before I ever started even thinking about making videos. She's still a teen because her family has been living in a world that hasn't been played much since she aged up to teen.

Eventually both Fleur and Felicity managed to work out how to make the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion. In the end Fleur made most of the potions I needed because Felicity had to go to school and there was after school activities and it was really hard to pin her down to do much of what I wanted her to do during a school week.

Here are pics of Yvonne with Rags after Rags became live.
https://i.postimg.cc/kGV990rq/Yvonne-And-Rags001.jpg

And of course Rags became real.
https://i.postimg.cc/KzpF6ZH0/Rags-Becoming-Real001.jpg

And became Ross
https://i.postimg.cc/mrRbMp9y/Yvonne-And-Ross001.jpg

Yvonne and Ross (previously Rags) worked on their child skills together.
https://i.postimg.cc/JnzMYyPy/Yvonne-Felicity-Rod-Epsilon-Yvonne-Ross003.jpg

Behind them Fleur was watching Rod and Felicity have a pillow fight and Epsilon had his Sprite to talk to.

Rod is Fleur's husband and father to their children and Felicity.

All of Fleur's children are fairies. Most inherited her blue wings. This couple surprised me once when I told them to woohoo in a fairy house expecting Rod, a human, wouldn't be able to enter the tiny house but he managed it and they had their fun together in a fairy house. Having so many fairies in the household there are several fairy houses in their home.

Just a pic of Cake Island - it looks deceptively empty. I almost deleted it and replaced it with an empty world but sent a sim back there to be sure and found after a while all the houses begin to appear.

https://i.postimg.cc/ncjctDZB/Cake-Island.jpg

There was a traffic incident outside the school in Ridgeview.
https://i.postimg.cc/5N6jNr5H/Traffic-Incident-Outside-School.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/C561sC0L/Black-Family-With-Real-IFs.jpg

This is one of the family Plumbots. They've been in the household from before the children were all born. They used to have chips but the chips seem to have vanished. Some times one or the other of them can garden. But never both at the same time and at first I thought I was confused but I did eventually pin them down and am now sure both of them can, and does garden, But never both at the same time. Weird. The other one is Wozza but I have no pictures of him. He is very different from Epsilon and has an oval shaped head with long skinny limbs and is black and orange in colour.

This is Epsilon. I'm glad he's shiny silver again. There was a time when none of my shiny silver Plumbots were actually shiny.
https://i.postimg.cc/m2vZZg2q/Epsilon001.jpg

Here are Felicity and Yvonne.
https://i.postimg.cc/Tw0hpMHb/Felicity-And-Yvonne.jpg

Fred is the first born of the Black children. He made his Imaginary Friend, Boinky, real and she got the name Brooke. They were teens for a while but I needed to move a few of the children out so Fred and then Brooke aged up to Young Adult and I moved them into a house I placed from my library into the new world of 'Ridgeview - in Summer'. I think I'll just refer to it as Ridgeview as writing the entire name out all the time is a bit cumbersome.

Fred's Birthday - they had cake
https://i.postimg.cc/kMjBCCS3/Freds-Birthday001.jpg

Brooke had cake too. Ooh look - there's Wozza helping Brooke celebrate her birthday. So you do get to see both of the family Plumbots after all.
https://i.postimg.cc/SRKR9Twv/Brooks-Birthday.jpg

Then she went into Stylist and had an unfortunate moment or two with suggested hair and outfits.
https://i.postimg.cc/Z5v9jQCk/Brook-In-CAS.jpg

Brooke and Fred moved together into their new house in Ridgeview. I've given them similar traits so I hope they might end up a couple but I'm not going to do anything about that. I'll just leave them to it.

The second eldest of the Black family children is Frank. He is insane but manages to get along without too much trouble. I hope.

Frank had cake too.
https://i.postimg.cc/rmMKVFgc/Franks-Birthday.jpg

Frank had an imaginary friend named Buddy who became Bronwyn after being made real and aging up. I don't seem to have a pic of her. She standing directly behind him and is wearing a blue and pink dress with white spots. They've all just returned from Fred's graduation so they are in formal attire.

I moved Frank and Bronwyn out to live in another house I placed in the world for them.

Felicity had cake too and then she was a Young Adult. Her imaginary friend was Wiggles who became Winifred.

I got a couple of pictures of Winnifred

In Stylist
https://i.postimg.cc/zfnyYRC0/Winifred-In-CAS.jpg

And after she came out of Stylist.
https://i.postimg.cc/g09x7KZx/Winifred-At-Home.jpg

Winnifred and Felicity each got a small house to live in alone. We'll see what happens. There aren't many empty houses in the world currently. There might be one or two of them. I grabbed a sim from my library to help me set up the world before I put it into the game. That sim is living alone in a house on the other side of town.

Before moving anyone out to live in their own home I sent three of them to the Future. I'd been thinking Rod Black needed to go to the future to collect nanites. I've had these thoughts on and off for a few months now. So when I was actually playing his household, however briefly, I thought I should just do it. So I sent Rod with his son Fred and imaginary friend made real Brooke to the future.

This was a disaster. Nothing was visible inside the buildings. I could see sims sitting and using furniture but it was all invisible. And I couldn't move up or down any levels unless I had a sim with me. I tried really hard and they managed to catch a few nanites but in the end I just gave up and sent them home. The game crashed when they got home. So I had another go. This time it all worked perfectly. Maybe there wasn't enough available memory to cope during their first visit.

They came across a Spotted Sixam and I just had to get a screenshot of it. There was a nanite beside it.

They collected a few nanites. It was very helpful when Rod got enough lifetime happiness points to buy a Collection Helper. It made a huge difference when trying to find nanites in a hurry. They stayed a few days and collected some future stuff and picked some crystal flowers.

When they got home they planted a rough circle of crystal plants around the Tree of Prosperity.

A funny thing happened when I sent them home from Oasis Landing. They had to use the time portal and chose to travel home. Now, I'd sent only the 3 members of the Black household to the Future. But when they went 'home' from the future, they travelled to Twikkii Island and landed in the Genie household with Melanie Kelly. Now, Melanie is another sim I added when I needed a sim to assist me set up Twikkii Island. She never went to the Future with the Black family. While I am in Cake Island Melanie lives in a building I use as a traveller destination but isn't set up as a base camp. When I sent the Blacks from Cake Island to Ridgeview I sent them with Melanie so she could travel back to Cake Island and leave the Blacks all in Ridgeview. While I played with the Blacks in Ridgeview, Melanie was living on her own in a house near the Sim that I'd used to help me with setting up Ridgeview. However, when the Blacks arrived home from Oasis Landing in the Future, they turned up in the Genie Household with Melanie Kelly in Twikkii Island.

So I saved that and sent the Blacks, with Melanie, back to Ridgeview. I placed all of the Blacks into their new homes where necessary and grabbed Melanie and travelled back to Cake Island.

That's when the mayhem really broke out. The next post will explain what's happening in Cake Island.

Happy Simming All

Some time later I've had a bit of a think about how to explain what's currently happening in Cake Island. I've decided it'll probably take pages to fully explain so I'll give you an overview and show you a few screenshots.

This one hasn't got much to do with the story. It is an impressive social jig. These are the things that are usually invisible. Sims won't walk across or onto them. They should automatically be deleted after the sims in the social situation that generated them stop that socialisation. In this case the two of them are throwing ball to each other. Most social jigs I've seen are small circles or ellipses for human sims, or tiny shiny balls for pets. They are there to stop other sims from trying to use the same spot while another sim is using it for some reason. They are usually invisible and can be hard to find if they don't delete after the sims move on and you end up with spots of your lot that sims can't walk across. It can be really annoying if they are in front of something important, such as a fridge.

https://i.postimg.cc/xCtnnm02/Impressive-Big-Jig.jpg

I activated a house containing a single female sim with a toddler. Now I had paired this sim up with a male sim and placed them together in this house and gave them an instant baby before leaving them to it and playing the game elsewhere.

While I was dealing with the Black family I noticed the male sim, Jay Clarke, had moved out to another house and I wanted to check on him to see if his partner and child had moved with him. I found him living alone. I do remember, while working on the Black family, I had a very brief look at him in the distance and he appeared to be heavily pregnant so I was half expecting to see him with an alien baby. But he was living alone and looking his usual trim self. I didn't get a screen shot - sorry. He is one of the sims I made years ago when I was playing 8 sim households of unrelated young adults. I made a lot of sims back then. So I had established there was potentially a household of a female sim with a baby/toddler. I quickly tracked them down.

The female sim is an adult. Her baby had become a toddler. Now this particular female sim holds a special place in my games. I previously told you about Perry Hansen. He is now an adult. He was Patience's first grandchild ever born. His mother, Heather Hansen, had a baby with her imaginary friend. Heather's parents are Patience and Marty Hansen. Her elder sister is Helena Hansen, now Helena Fields.

This was my first imaginary friend encounter and really had no idea what was going on with IFs. I knew that Imaginary Friends could have babies with their owners because people were posting about it. So I told Heather to try for baby with her Imaginary Friend. They did it a few times before Heather became pregnant. Now at that point, the Imaginary Friend was live but not real. Much later I made the potion and Heather got her IF to drink it but that failed because I already had 8 sims in the household. So I moved them out to live on their own and she made her IF real and it turned out to be a female. Of course I now know the IF gender isn't set until they become real. I know this because I've made a lot of them real and sometimes the game crashes and I lose the IF made real and it returns to doll form so it has to be made real again and it often becomes real with a different gender than it had last time it was made real before the game crashed.

So this Imaginary Friend was named Annie Hansen when she finally became real.

https://i.postimg.cc/N0DWHwZ8/Annie-Hansen002.jpg

And, after her partner had moved out to live alone, Annie was living with her toddler daughter in this house.

https://i.postimg.cc/B6wkmBSX/Annie-Hansons-House001.jpg

Then something really dangerous to Annie's quiet existence happened. I decided there were too many toddlers in this world that were in dire need of immediate training. It would be far too time consuming for me to go to each of their households and train them individually. So I thought I'd better move them ALL in with Annie so I can train them properly and together which will be a much more efficient way of doing it.

So Annie's household expanded from 2 to 9 sims. Annie was there alone with 8 toddlers to take care of. Annie's reaction, at first, was to play very loud computer games but then she autonomously moved from computer games to playing the piano.

https://i.postimg.cc/Cxm3Zg3G/Annie-Hansen001.jpg

She started out without much skill and didn't stop, even after she got to level 10 in the Piano Skill. She has started learning some piano songs from music she purchased at the bookstore but seems to be more interested in the guitar now.

Having no conscience regarding my destruction of Annie's peaceful existence, I decided if I added the 7 unskilled children to the household as well, then I could give them some training too. And of course to add to her woes every single one of those toddlers and children had an imaginary friend doll that simply has to be made real. And then taught their skills. Fortunately for Annie I only thought about grabbing the teens from around town too but that thought led to the thought of endless crashes due to lake of memory so I relented and Annie doesn't need to worry about hoards of teenagers moving in with her too. I will ten to the teens once I've got the current sims in her household all trained and moved back with their families.

By the way, this is Perry, Annie's son with Heather.

https://i.postimg.cc/yx3mwHB0/Perry-Hansen.jpg

Perry doesn't appear in Annie's family tree. Probably because Annie wasn't real when Perry was born. Perry has the pyromaniac hidden trait and I've read that children of imaginary friends sometimes get that trait. I first realised Perry was different when he was a child and was able to pick up seeds lying on the ground. Apparently children with the pyromaniac trait can do that. I later used a mod to check Perry's hidden traits and confirmed my suspicions, he is a pyromaniac.

I'm thinking of giving Annie and her toddler a makeover. This is because Annie never got a proper makeover. I did give her a new skin and hair when I paired her up with her partner but that was it. She still has the default Imaginary Friend features. And her daughter seems to have been born with a custom skin and she looks as if she has the Imaginary Friend default features too. Although I rarely see a toddler Imaginary Friend. Of course she has a doll in her inventory.

I had a peek into a few houses. I found 8 toddlers without skills. They had all been toddlers for real life years. I checked, using Master Controller, and found there were 7 children without skills. Only one of the children was expected to age up soon. She was the first mermaid I ever had born in a game and she got me the badge to have a mermaid baby. That happened way back - soon after Island Paradise was released so it's about time she grew up. But here she is and she's still a child.

Here is a pic I found of MaryAnn with her parents in Isla Paraidso.
https://i.postimg.cc/26HGqqSj/The-Salty-Family.jpg

Her father is that evil mermaid, Salty Seaworth. But in this game I've given them a different last name as I had another version of Salty established in the world.

This is Annie's daughter, Margie Hansen, as a toddler. Margie is a born in game Imaginary Friend. She has her own Imaginary Friend doll in her inventory. (Actually I think she has gained an extra doll at some point. I checked and everyone else still has their dolls but Margie now has two.)

https://i.postimg.cc/4NX2p0bB/Margie-Hansen001.jpg

Well, the toddlers I moved in with Annie include Jeannie and Paul Fields. This pair are children of Ted and Helena Fields. Helena is the eldest daughter of Patience and that makes Jennie and Paul the youngest grandchildren of Patience.

This is John Paul Flower.
https://i.postimg.cc/6p5SxP8y/Johnpaul-Flower001.jpg

I don't have a picture of his sister, Nina. She has the same coloured hair and is older than JohnPaul. Nina is the oldest of the toddlers and is soon to age up automatically.

Here is Paul Fields. He has an older sister too. Her name is Jeannie. I didn't get a picture of Jeannie as a toddler. She had short strawberry blonde hair.

https://i.postimg.cc/GhjNNRhW/Paul-Fields001.jpg

Paul and Jeannie are children of Ted Fields and Helena. Ted is an ex-partner of Patience and Helena is Patience's eldest daughter.

Another toddler in the group is Larry Langerak.

Larry is the son of Carmel and Parker Langerak.

Carmel is the daughter of Patience and Ted. So Larry is the uncle and half-brother of Jeannie and Paul. There are lots of bizarre complications in Patience's relationships.

Here is Larry Langerak.

https://i.postimg.cc/2jQXbYv1/Larry-Langerak.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/QC344YLN/Larry-Langerak002.jpg

I made sure I got a good shot of Larry as he failed to age up until I reset him and of course once he got reset he lost all of his features and became a pudding sim. I tried to return him to the features he was born with but I suspect my efforts weren't perfect. Maybe I should have tried taking him into CAS and writing down all of the numbers for his various facial features instead of trying to rely on a screenshot.

I'll go through some of the other toddlers here now.

This is Paul Fields as a child, with toddler, Marlene Kluver and Tom Sekemoto is the child in the background.
https://i.postimg.cc/VN2HMLDC/Johm-Paul-Fields-Marlene-Kluver-Tom-Sekemoto002.jpg

Marlene Kluver is the younger sister of MaryAnne Kluver. I changed the Seaworth family name to Kluver when I added them to this Big Game as I already had another Salty Seaworth family in the save.

Tom Sekemoto is the son of Tammi and Leighton Sekemoto. Tom arrived at Annie's place with his sisters. They are all children.

Here are Johnpaul Flower with Mary Ann Kluver. I gave Mary Ann a makeover when I first moved her family to Cake Island and they joined the Big Game. Here she is as a child. She is by far the eldest child here and is about to age up to teen.

I added a chemistry table to the household and gave Mary Ann the job of learning how to make the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion. She then got to make potions to turn all of the imaginary friends in the household real. It took her forever to do and I'm sure she now has an aversion to the chemistry table but she did make it to level 10 in logic and has decided to be a Renaissance Sim. She only needs to get to level 10 in two more skills to achieve her lifetime wish.

https://i.postimg.cc/qqxm9c0s/Johnpaul-Flower-And-Mary-Anne-Kluver001.jpg

And one more pic of John Paul Flower - this time he is aged up to child. He is a hybrid genie and fairy. His mother is Lucy who is a genie who was one of the original nannies in the old version of the boarding school. She met her future husband there when I introduced him to the game and they moved out of the boarding school and got married and had two babies, Nina and Johnpaul.

https://i.postimg.cc/W3rY7LHf/John-Paul-Flower002.jpg

This is an old pic of Freddy Flower, John Paul's father.
https://i.postimg.cc/Px6CXmVg/Freddy002.jpg

And his mother, Lucy, while she was still a nanny at the boarding school.
https://i.postimg.cc/XJsj04MK/Reading-Room005.jpg

Of course, Lucy is a genie.

Here is Marlene Kluver. Mary Anne's little sister. They have a brother, Puck, in the house too. Puck is the middle child.
https://i.postimg.cc/FHW6rxSG/Marlene-Kluver001.jpg

Female toddler mermaids have pink scales by default. When they age up to child they get the female default purple scales. I decided to fix Marlene's scales so she has her own scale colour. I gave their brother Puck the same colour scales as their father, Salty.

https://i.postimg.cc/HWXFwXGs/Marlene-Kluver002.jpg

And a couple more shots of Paul Fields.
https://i.postimg.cc/cJvbr8MW/Paul-Fields002.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/Fsv8Dzmb/Paul-Fields003.jpg

I'll post more later. We will see more of the children. Probably not many toddler pics to be found and they have since all aged up to child. I've aged Mary Anne up to teen too.

Over the past couple of months I've been working through all of the sims in the Big Game. I had ignored them all for such a long time things had got way out of balance and I could no longer rely on my spreadsheet to tell me where they all were currently living. Many of the worlds were overstuffed. There were large gardens that were making worlds difficult to play in and often impossible to save. I found dozens of imaginary friend dolls in inventories of sims aged between baby and adult. I'd been ignoring the dolls. I find them useful for toddlers to have as they tend to play with their dolls instead of sitting crying whenever they have some idle time. I usually have large households and if there are a few toddlers in the household it is next to impossible for me to keep them all entertained all of the time and crying toddlers tend to disrupt smooth running of the game for most of the sims in the household and they are also annoying to listen to.

I decided I would have some fun and turn real all of the imaginary friends I found in inventories of sims that were child and over in age. The child sims still like to play with their dolls but I decided to make the dolls real where possible at the child age to give them a chance of learning some child skills. I doubt that level of skilling is of much benefit though. It would be better for them to age up at the toddler stage but then that would defeat the primary purpose of them getting the dolls in the first place.

My aim was to remove all dolls from inventories. I soon discovered that was fraught with confusion - I was constantly asking 'where did he/she get that doll?'. It turns out some of the children love having the doll in their inventory. They are quite happy to turn their dolls real as they seem to have a way of obtaining a replacement doll. At first I thought they were stealing dolls from younger siblings but I soon worked out that was not the case. Somehow the game generates replacement dolls for them. As fast as I make them real they generate another doll. As a result, several households have more imaginary friends made real than sims who received dolls in the first place. Eventually I got the message and stopped making the additional dolls real. I decided if those young sims are so attached to having a doll in their inventory they can keep it. I was so over making them all real and giving them makeovers. I started experimenting with all sorts of looks for them. I like to give my sims a unique look but after a while they seemed to me to be looking all the same so when I was moving around facial sliders I started forcing myself to do the opposite of what I usually did and this did add a little more variety to some of them. They are all still just sims though.

I have lots of short videos I recorded along the way. I'm not sure if I should put them together and put them up onto YouTube as an 'outtakes' type of video. Or maybe to a few short videos containing a few outtakes every so often.

Here are a few recent screen shots.

This is one group of Sims gathered together in Cake Island and about to set off for another world. Possibly they are headed for Ridgeview - in Summer. That was one of the most recent new worlds I added to the game.

This hair was given to a variety of newly made real imaginary friends. Not all had this particular colour combination. This is the second one I've posted here. It is not easily forgotten.
https://i.postimg.cc/Dw253r9z/Aother-One-Got-This-Look-Be-Default001.jpg

With this imaginary friend made real I resisted the temptation to give him a flat profile and a well defined nose. I'll have to do things like that more often.

https://i.postimg.cc/rsxgMQyD/ASlightly-Different-Look-After-Makeover002.jpg

I've forgotten his name but he was the Imaginary Friend of Stanley O'Shea. Stanley is the eldest son of Gloria O'Shea. Gloria is one of Gobias Koffi's daughters and she married Kearney O'Shea from Dragon Valley. Expect Eric and Susanne and Oscar to spend some time in this household. Gloria is almost an Elder now and she and Kearney had two teenage sons so during the time I've been doing this project I organised for them to have two more children. They now have a pair of toddlers named Tad and Grace. Tad was born while I was off doing something else and the game named him, I chose Grace and was so pleased to not have to look up a list of baby names beginning with c, or b, or j or anything not being a first initial of a given name of an imaginary friend.

Here are some more pics of the O'Shea household.

I tried to give most of the Imaginary Friends some skills after they were made real. While in Cake Island I made a lot of them real and they all had to go fishing at some point. Here are a couple of the latecomers. I was getting over the fishing idea by this time.

https://i.postimg.cc/XqfKTqxF/Cake-Island-IFs-Made-Real-Fishing001.jpg

This is the toddler I found living alone in the Lochlan house in Dragon Valley. Not only was he alone in the house, but he was the only sim living in the world. Last time I saw him he was a child living with his brother and mother in Norbrewych. Then he became corrupt and invisible. I tried really hard to fix him but couldn't and I think I eventually did the total annihilation on him to try to stop him from breaking the game. Much later I found him as a toddler in an otherwise empty Dragon Valley.

https://i.postimg.cc/RC6DgTm5/Davis-Mithrilen001.jpg

I took the toddler, Davis, to the library where it was quiet so he could get through reading his toddler books quickly. Fortunately the Sim with the megaphone didn't interrupt his studies.
https://i.postimg.cc/8c6XsT4P/Davis-Mithrilen002.jpg

Since the game wouldn't let my sims travel from a totally empty world I made a new fairy to stay all alone in Dragon Valley. I don't know if we'll see her again. But here is a picture of her.

https://i.postimg.cc/D09JWzSZ/Titania-Flower001.jpg

Davis's elder brother is a teen and his imaginary friend was made real and given the name of Carol. I didn't give the imaginary friends of the Mithrilen boys blue skin, but I gave their hair a blue tint. I like to try to make the imaginary friends blend into their new families if I can manage it. Since Davis was a child in this world I aged him up from toddler to child and he made his imaginary friend real too.

The little fairy with the curly yellow wings is the daughter of Lucy and Freddy Flower. Lucy is a genie and Freddy is a fairy. They also have a son, JohnPaul Flower. He is a hybrid Fairy/Genie. The little mermaid with the dark scales is Puck Kluver - he is the son of a version of Salty Seaworth and I changed his scale colour to reflect Salty's scale colour.

I don't remember the names of all of the dozens of imaginary friends I gave makeovers to but I did occasionally manage to get a screen shot.

https://i.postimg.cc/g2NszwpH/IFMade-Real-Getting-AMakeover001.jpg

These are some of the children who were imaginary friends and are now real and enjoying the tree house in Cake Island.

I moved all of the sims from the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. I deleted the huge farm/garden that was across the street from the boarding school building and the world is now playable. However I wasn't able to leave the world without any sims in it. The travel option didn't give me an error - it just didn't happen. So I moved a couple of households into it and left them there. If I ever use that boarding school again I suppose we might meet some of them. They've all come from really old games and haven't been played for years prior to 2014 so I'm sure they won't mind being left there without being disturbed.

Mara Nix was one of the teens who had travelled to the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island and she was returned to her parents in Moonlight Falls. I had to enlarge their house to make room for her and her stuff and her imaginary friend made real.

https://i.postimg.cc/GpmMGFKf/Nix-Household001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/GhvSCh9X/Nix-Household002.jpg

This was interesting to watch. While Mara worked on making the required potion I watched her Imaginary Friend stand and watch her for a while but every so often it'd wander off and set a booby trap on something. It did it in the adjoining bathroom and then I got a pic of it standing up from making a trap on the computer. I actually watched it doing it. For some reason it had never occurred to me that it was the imaginary friends that were not yet made real that were setting all of those traps around my sims houses.

This is some other Imaginary Friend becoming friends with its owner prior to being made real. The owner could be another imaginary friend made real. Those dolls were multiplying in inventories and I eventually gave up the idea of getting rid of them out of all inventories by making them all real. They multiply.

Finally, once everyone was settled into their worlds we dropped Melanie Kelly off to live with Mary Genie in Twikkii Island and then Isabel Howe headed back to the Boarding School in Moonfall Island. That's were I found Aislin Walshe's cat and then discovered I'd dumped Aislin there too. She came with Dragon Valley. She is almost an elder when a new version of Dragon Valley first starts up. She has interested me for a long time because I found her so difficult to get a hold of. She is there and then she's and elder and sort of vanishes. So I dropped her off at the currently active Boarding School where I plan to give her a Young Again Potion so I can play her for a while. This of course means I'll have to move a current baby sitter or two out of the boarding school. I haven't decided which ones yet. I'll have to check on their skills.

Happy Simming All.

Finally, at last, the video is now on YouTube and ready for you to view. It took me about 23 hours from when I started loading it to it being ready for you to view.

I hope you enjoy it.

https://youtu.be/XS-8BkPgMUk

This video begins in the boarding school in Moonlight Falls. That is where Eric and Oscar travelled with the sims from the boarding school in Moonfall Island. They returned everyone but Gregg Craig to their homes in Moonlight Falls. Gregg's parents have vanished. I had no idea where to even begin looking for them. There are 13 worlds in the game at this stage and sims live in all of those worlds. Several of these worlds are very overpopulated and very difficult to play in.

While at the boarding school in Moonlight Falls Gregg had made his imaginary friend real. When the four sims returned to the boarding school in Moonfall Island there were 18 sims living in the household. I sent Isabel Howe to The Isle of Sims III to look for the Craig family. She returned with a toddler who needed training. This brought the population of the Boarding School in Moonfall Island to 19 sims.

I then moved Petal, Mary, Sandy and Pat out to live with Mia Azul and Sarah Jayne. This house in on the beach (part of the lot is in the water) at the other end of Moonfall Island. So no travelling needed to get them home.

On arrival at their home Petal made her imaginary friend real. Then Sandy made his imaginary friend real. I discovered Pat (Mary's imaginary friend made real) had a doll in his inventory. It became live but we ran out of time to make it real so that'll happen in the next video.

Some extra info - Mary is the clone of Mia Azul.

Sandy is the clone of Salty Seaworth but I haven't found any trace of Salty in the game. He seems to have vanished completely. But that might work for me as I am considering adding the sims from the Isla Paradiso Bunch to this game and if I do that I'll want to use the Salty from that game. He is engaged to one of the genies and they have twin daughters.

Pat is Mary Azul's imaginary friend made real.

Petal Jayne is a plant sim who was picked in the Perfect Genetics Challenge and I made a copy of her for this game. In this game she was adopted by a sim I made to try out new skins and hair when I first started adding skins and hair to my game. Her name is Sarah Jayne. I've not done much with Sarah and I never had a game in mind for her.

If you'd like to see more of the mermaids and Sarah you will find them in my Colourful Mermaids playlist on my YT channel. I moved everyone from that series of videos to this Big Game and a lot of them are living in Moonfall Island and you'll be seeing them briefly in future episodes.

@Karritz I watched Oscar's Teen Years Episode 4. Glad you were able to get things organized enough to do another video. You really put in a lot of time, but the households certainly look great now. I hope all your families have settled in safely. ...TS4 is finally getting werewolves June 16th, so it was fun to see your Sims 3 werewolves. ...I liked your nanite and sprite collections. ...Your basement gardens are lovely, but I can see how their size might cause problems. ...You seemed to have fun playing with your families again. The intricate household connections are awesome. ...TS3 has some really beautiful scenery. Nice CC worlds too. ...I like the names you chose for the real IFs based on their doll names. ...LOL at the mermaid and the fairy arguing! ...The kids all lined up was cute. Each different.

Thanks for sharing your game videos with us. I also looked over some of the posts I missed in this thread. Great screenshots! Lots going on. ?

@lanlyn thank you, I always enjoy and look forward to your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm working on birds at the moment but will get started on the next Oscar video soon.

@Karritz: Great video. Awesome spirte collection and the tiberum skull cut! :)
