We start out in Moonfall Island with the Mia Azul household. There are some children that need attention and one imaginary friend to be made real.

Back to the boarding school and little Chrissie completes reading her toddler books at the library. The Moonfall Island library is the Gothique Library from the Sims 3 Store (because I put it there when I set the world up for this game). We only see a single room of the library in this episode. Back at the boarding school Eric tells a ghost story to Oscar, Susanne and Coral.

Gregg Craig still hasn't located his parents and he needs to go home. Isabel sets out to look for his parents while Gregg and his imaginary friend made real, Russel, wait at the boarding school.

Isabel decided to travel through the worlds in alphabetic order and begins with Barnacle Bay. She searches the computer for Gregg's family but they are not there.

The next world is Bellatrix by @Rflong7. Isabel has another fruitless search for the Craig family. You will see a flyover of Bellatrix before Isabel moves on the Cake Island, another of Rflong7's worlds. Again there is no sign of the Craig family. There is a quick flyover of the world and a tombstone belonging to Gobias Koffi is located.

Isabel moves on to Chocolate Cake Island and there is another brief flyover. This world is almost empty but Isabel finds several sims still living at the boarding school. She can't move them on just yet as I had to work out how to free up memory in the game to allow her to travel with other sims. I did work it out eventually but not for this episode.

After Chocolate Cake Island Isabel heads for Cotes d'Ambonnay a beautiful medieval world by @xSorcier. Isabel finds 5 sims living in that world and they decide to leave with her when she travels to Lunar Lakes. The sims found in the world are three witches and a fairy and Aislan Walsh.

The fairy is Gladys Black. She is one of the fairies I made with the jeweled skins made by @Moonskin93.

The three witches are from a batch of 15 female witches and 15 male witches I made a few years ago. They are spread out across several worlds. The three I found in Cotes d'Ambonnay are Bambi, Biddy and Mitch Bombay.

Most of my fairies begin life with the family name of Flower, and all of my witches are given the family name of Bombay. They are not related to each other. Biddy has a pet cat that she takes with her when she moves. I found Biddy and Mitch have become engaged so I moved them in together with the cat in Lunar Lakes. You see a quick flyover of Lunar Lakes too.

Bambi, Mitch, Biddy and the cat all move to Lunar Lakes with Gladys.

I found a pic of Gladys

Aislan is a townie from Dragon Valley and she moves into the Moonfall Island boarding school with her pet cat. She will stay there to become a nanny. I've wanted to play Aislan for a while and decided the time has come to do that. She is getting on a bit in age so she gets to drink a young again potion on arrival at the boarding school.

Once the move to Lunar Lakes is complete Isabel, Aislan and the cat return to Moonfall Island just in time for the children and teens to return from school.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Happy Simming

@Karritz I watched Oscar's Teen Years Episode 5. Very fun. ...Pretty beach scenes. Loved the young mermaids. ...Sad to see so many children mourning the death of someone close. ...That Katy Perry table reminded me. Did I tell you that someone made a mod for Sims 4 reproducing all the Sims 3 Katy Perry pack? I have it installed, and there are some great items. ...I liked seeing the IFs become real. ...That's an amazing boarding school. Huge too! ...The horses look cool on the Lunar Lakes type world. I miss horses. ...Interesting buildings on the Cake Island world. A variety of styles. ...I enjoyed seeing the different worlds you use. Some of the locations are gorgeous. ...I had the Côtes d'Ambonnay world installed too. A lot of potential there. Different atmosphere. ...I felt the same way about Lunar Lakes as you did. Didn't think I'd like it at first, but I ended up appreciating its uniqueness. ...I also enjoyed meeting all your sims as well as exploring the worlds. Thank you for sharing your game play. Great video.

Oscar's Teen Years Episode 6 is now available for you to watch on YouTube.

Isabel goes to Dark Harbor to try to find Gregg Craig's parents. She doesn't find them, but does discover the world has become corrupt and the entire population of 88 sims need to be moved out.

Note: I have moved the 88 sims out of Dark Harbor, but not recorded video of it happening. They are all happily settled in two new worlds. They end up in Cornucopia and Glenvale City. Neither of these worlds appear in the video but they will eventually end up in future videos as I've moved several of Eric's relatives to both of those worlds.

I am also playing a small side game in Dark Harbor with a view to setting it up for future play. I will put the nhd file from that game into the Big Game so Dark Harbor will continue to be a part of this story as well as the McFluff Story.

In this video, we have a quick look around Dark Harbor and then Isabel returns to Moonfall Island Boarding School.

Eric decides it's time for an adventure and he dials up a travel agent. Eric, Oscar and Susanne set out to visit the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. We spend some time in that world and meet the sims living in it.

Eric really wanted to go to Moonlight Falls but didn't want to raise suspicions with folks back in Moonfall Island.

Faith MacDuff from Moonlight Falls is about to age up to Young Adult so it seems reasonable that Eric and Co escort her back home. Before leaving for Moonlight Falls, Faith makes her Imaginary Friend, Hesper, Real. Hesper becomes Henry.

Eric, Oscar, Susanne, Faith and Henry travel to Moonlight Falls.

Eric meets up with his special friend and there is some serious flirting. I think something might be going on with that pair. Interesting.

Faith and Henry have cake and celebrate their birthday. The plan is for Faith and Henry to share a house in Moonlight Falls now they are young adults.

In order to get some/most of the video for this episode I needed to go back to an earlier version of the game. I saved Henry to my library as he hadn't existed previously.

Back in March and April this year I spent ages doing lots of housekeeping on this game. I'd just continued to play it for years. It is the game for Oscar's stories as well as The McFluff Story. Just about all of the worlds had become so overstuffed with sims that it was often impossible for me to save them. I had this issue again in this pre housekeeping version of Moonlight Falls.

For the next episode of this video series I'll go to a later save. Eventually I'll get Eric and his buddies up to the current version of the save. At that point I should have no problems with saving. I have added several new worlds to the game and the game is now good to play. I'll try to progressively continue to move sims to new worlds as the population of this game continues to grow. I currently have 1,075 sim listed in my spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is up to date as well now. I need it to know where my sims are so I can send Eric to the appropriate worlds whenever he and his friends decide to travel.

I became aware of the problem of the location of sims not being recorded accurately in the spreadsheet when I couldn't find Gregg Craig's parents. I did eventually find them so he does get to go home, but not in this episode. I will continue to send Isabel out to find them and she will go through each world in almost alphabetic order. The next world in the next episode will be Grey Meadow Islands. It should have been visited in this episode if I'd stuck rigidly to the order. I don't plan to send her to Hidden Springs either as I currently have only one household in that world and it isn't overpopulated and Gregg's parents are not in the world. But I do plan for Oscar to move there when he becomes a Young Adult and settles down to raise a huge family. Currently the only household I have there is Gertie McFluff with her 15 cats.

I'm thinking the next video I made might be from a different series. Currently I'm thinking of doing a few episodes of either 'The Perfect Genetics Challenge' or 'Caroline and Friends at University'. There are interesting sims in both of those series and lots happening. With Perfect Genetics the first heir is about to take over from her mother. In Caroline and Friends there are a whole host of very different sims with different traits to allow for maximum achievements at University. Isla Paradiso Bunch is completed unless I decide to do a third series at some stage.

Happy Simming

@Karritz I just got through watching a video using the new TS4 High School Years pack, and then I watched your latest video about Oscar's teen years. ? I have to say I love your boarding school. Ambitious, but a great idea.

So sorry about the problems you're having with Dark Harbor (and other worlds). Dark Harbor is a beautiful world though. It was interesting touring the different worlds and the lots you created for each one. I also enjoyed seeing all the activities your sims participated in. Broom riding, sculpting, lab tables, etc. Some of those paintings are really lovely. I liked your makeovers of the Imaginary Friends too. LOL at Henry filling in that deep hole in the yard after being abducting by aliens! A big scare after just being made real. ? That was a nice birthday party at the end of the video. Thanks again for sharing your sims' stories with us. I know it's been a lot of work. ?

I'm planning on returning to this series of videos shortly. I'm not sure of exactly when but it is in my list of things to do asap.
