I have now published Episode 30 of my Isla Paradiso Bunch videos.https://youtu.be/axkEtEhm3AQThe sound has improved - I hope. My laptop is now working better than before and I have headphones with a microphone so it sounds better.The crew are at the base camp in Shang Simla and having adventures there.This was a fun series to work on and I learned a lot about World Adventures and supernatural sims.Enjoy.

This is the link to my channel - just in case you have missed any of Episodes 1 to 29.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuW44b3uCMtCSaq4gwC8EZg

Thank you for the link! I subscribed and am looking forward to the story.

I watch 1-2 episodes of lets plays before bed each night and have been looking for a new one.I'm not good at little snippets. But... I'll try.I've been playing Sims 3 since release. In late 2014 I decided I needed to do 'everything'. I'm still trying to achieve that goal.Another thing I did in late 2014 was I started adding Custom Content and mods to my game.I have all of the store (that I could get given some items are no longer available) and I have all of the Expansion and Stuff packs including KPST. It is all installed and used.Late in 2016 I decided to go through my CC by @luna as I have so much of it and wanted to eliminate a bit. I needed a tester sim and made one quickly. I used a default from CAS and kept her just as she was - except I gave her a CC skin and a new hair I'd just downloaded. I named her Dianna Martin.Dianna did what I asked and sat on chairs and lay on beds etc until I decided she needed a friend. I thought her friend needed a slightly different, more interesting personality and I made Meryl Manson. Meryl is an Evil sim and was a bit of a waste of space as a tester sim as I found I continued using Dianna almost exclusively.After finishing my testing and eliminating a disappointingly tiny amount of CC by luna from my game, I had an idea to start a fresh game in Island Paradise. Mostly because I hadn't played there for a long time and I thought I might get a few new badges.I added Dianna and Meryl to this new game.Here is a picture of Dianna.https://s5.postimg.cc/xesznzvlz/Dianna001.jpgDianna's traits are Star Quality, Natural Born Performer, Social Butterfly, Night Owl, Party Animal.I wanted to see my sim dance on a counter during a party.Her LTW: Master Magician - get to level 10 of the Magician career. By Episode 30 Dianna is still working on this LTW. I do plan for her to complete it before I end this series of videos. Meet Merylhttps://s5.postimg.cc/eazo7nirr/Meryl001.jpgMeryl's traits are Mean Spirited, Mooch, Party Animal, Evil, Schmoozer. I wanted her to cause a bit of interest/trouble in the game.Her LTW: Gold Digger. She needs to see the ghost of her wealthy spouse. I find she likes to go out and autonomously discover if sims about town are wealthy. She often rolls a wish to find out if xxx sim is wealthy and I find when she is in public she will become a bit agressive in her tactics as she goes about getting to know new sims.She's still working on her LTW. I might let her complete it. She also loves to dance - autonomously and hilariously.Initially, they lived in a pre-built house at 45 Surf Circle, Isla Paradiso.https://s5.postimg.cc/r2990f35z/Surf_Circle_Home002.jpgThis is an extended version of that house. I added an extra two bedrooms by adding a floor.I'm accustomed to using more than two sims in a household so had to add an extra sim. Craig Miller was added to the game and I needed to built an extra bedroom. Decided I may as well add two bedrooms to even out the house.Here's Craig.https://s5.postimg.cc/d9zfij1s7/Craig_Miller001.jpgCraig's traits are: Vegetarian, Savvy Sculptor, Angler, Handy, Sailor.His LTW: Descendant of Da Vinci. Master Sculpting, Inventing and Painting skills. By Episode 30 Craig has completed his lifetime wish.Since I had a spare bedroom I decided to add a fourth sim to this household. I have a BIG GAME that I love to play and it is full of Sims. I thought I'd go searching in it for a suitable male sim to even up this household. I found a witch named Judy and decided I didn't really need a male. A house with 3 females and 1 male could be fun.Judy is a Sim I made when University Life was released. I have been playing her in my Big Game for a few months and she is fun. She came to the Isla Paradiso bunch with a lot of skills and experience. I left her cloned daughter behind in Dragon Valley with other members of the household -actually Judy is still there too. I just brought a copy of her into this new game.Here's Judy.https://s5.postimg.cc/rgjuqo2x3/Judy005.jpgJudy's traits are: Angler, Loves the Outdoors, Friendly, Handy, Neat.Her LTW: Zombie Master. Turn 10 different sims into a zombie using Reanimation Ritual or Zombification ElixirShe still has to complete this LTW. I do plan to have a go at it. She knows all of the elixirs.I played for a short time with this four and then decided I really needed a genie. Genies are so useful.I went into my library and found several genies. I ended up with three and couldn't decide which one I wanted in the game so kept all three.They were all old genies I'd make long ago and all had the default genie outfits and blue skin. I took them into CAS and gave them nice new CC skins and new hair and clothes. Hair and clothes may not be CC in all cases.Meet the geniesJeanie Joneshttps://s5.postimg.cc/3ue9mlyvb/Jeanie001.jpgHer traits: Animal Lover, Good, Friendly, Green Thumb, NurturingI'm not sure why I chose her - maybe it was because she was an animal lover and I like to have one of them in my household if I add a pet or two and maybe I was planning to have a pet or two at some stage.Jeanie's LTW: The Fairy Tale Finder - maybe it was this LTW that I liked as I've never completed it and hope to do so at some stage. So far she hasn't managed to adopt a unicorn. I will get her to work on it though.Haley Armstronghttps://s5.postimg.cc/llpw12e9z/Haley001.jpgTraits: Athletic, Daredevil, Brave, Charismatic, Handy.Her LTW: Become an astronaut. She's had plenty of time to do this but hasn't completed her LTW yet. She's been a very busy little sim in many other ways. She has now made time to join the military career and is currently at level 4 - Squad Leader.Haley had a different hair style when in her sleepwear and I find she looks a lot like Dianna and I sometimes have difficulty telling them apart.Josephine Barker.https://s5.postimg.cc/gogwtp1on/Josephene001.jpgHer traits: Equestrian, Irresistible, Hot Headed, Coward, Good Sense of HumourLTW: Reach maximum influence in all social groups.This LTW is still to be achieved but she is making good progress.I was taking a huge risk adding Josephine to my game. She is a sim who likes to pick a fight. I had previously banned her from my games, and she stayed banned for several real life years, due to her persistence in jumping on another sim I had in that previous game and they would roll around on the floor fighting. It was funny at first but when it became a constant thing I decided to end it and she got evicted.I haven't seen her get physical with any other sim in this game so far - but she has made a lot of enemies.Here are the three genies outside their home in Isla Paradisohttps://s5.postimg.cc/kyvkpa6rr/Genies001.jpgJudy is there too - with her back to them.With three new sims I needed to add more bedrooms. Didn't want to add extra floors up top, so added basements. I played with this group for a while.Then decided to add another male sim to try to even things up a bit.Sam Lewis was created specially for this game.https://s5.postimg.cc/6jg02six3/Sam004.jpgSams traits: Loves the Outdoors, Loves to Swim, Sailor, Angler, BraveSam's LTW: Grand Explorer - own all uncharted islands. By Episode 30 Sam has achieved his lifetime wish. There is plenty of action from Sam in many of the earlier videos as he works to achieve this LTW.Muriel Weston.https://s5.postimg.cc/g323fcvrb/SelfSim003.jpgMuriel is supposed to be my Self Sim and that's why I've used her as my avatar for my YouTube channel. The other reason I used her is I couldn't think of what to use and she was available.Muriel's Traits: Friendly, Family Oriented, Artistic, Brave, AdventurousLTW: Master of the Arts. Get to level 10 in Painting and Guitar. She has achieved this LTW by Episode 30 of this series of videos.I do paint but have never learned to play the guitar in real life - and although I do have excellent opportunity to learn I have never really wanted to do it. She really isn't a lot like me but she'll do the job.They adopted a stray dog and the dog's name is Stella Dog.I used Master Controller to add the dog to the household so it wasn't a part of game play to befriend and adopt the dog. She was there so I added her to the household.----------------------One day, unexpectedly Craig was out looking for seashells and he simultaneously discovered not one but two hidden islands. I suspect he must have found a message in a bottle while close to another island.I'd been thinking about trying my hand at YouTube but I always thought it would be too hard and I'd make a mess at it and lots of other negative reasons why I shouldn't try.But I did a bit of research and discovered some software I could use for recording and got started.Episode 1 of Isla Paradiso Bunch was put onto YouTube on January 1, 2017. I was so happy with myself at the time for doing it. I didn't have a proper microphone but people seem to have enjoyed it and I got the courage to continue with it. Now I'm up to Episode 30.They have since added a stray cat to the household - the cat hates Judy and is constantly attacking her feet. Judy is the witch of the household and I'd have thought she'd have a great relationship with the cat. Haley is engaged to Salty Seaworth - they'll get married after she's achieved her lifetime wish as Salty's LTW is to see the ghost of his dead spouse and I'm sure he has his own reasons for wanting to marry her. She's very wealthy. In the meantime Haley and Salty are the parents of two little girls who are toddlers in Episode 30.Judy planted two forbidden fruit and they both grew into plant sims, so there is a pair of plant sim toddlers in the game.Judy cloned Triton King using the Science Station so there is a mermaid toddler in the game.Someone, I forget who and will have to read back through the proceedings to find out who, cloned one of the Sims from France so there is a toddler named Donna Dutiel in the game. Craig got abducted and became pregnant with an alien baby while they were living in France.Sam got pregnant from an alien in China.I was stunned as I have only had one other sim get pregnant from an abduction and that was years ago. Now I got two in the same game.There are two alien toddlers in the game.So that's about the state of play by the time you get to Episode 30.There's been a lot happening in Episodes 1 to 29. I'm sure you'll have fun watching them.Here's a few random shots of what's happened so far.https://s5.postimg.cc/4bcdz25dz/DiannaAndJosephine001.jpgThere is always a garden - this one was to support the elixirs.https://s5.postimg.cc/yniz0fy6f/OsvaldoRayla001.jpgI had them making lots of elixirs so I could get the badge for making a lot of them (forget how many). Apparently it doesn't work with occults. Most of my elixir makers were occults. I abandoned that effort. They do have a LOT of elixirs though.There have been a few parties. There have been deaths and there is a haunting (unplayable) ghost with them too - I forgot to mention her earlier.Here's one of their partieshttps://s5.postimg.cc/4l9so67d3/Party008.jpgThere are lots of underwater scenes in the earlier videoshttps://s5.postimg.cc/n1g9rzu13/TragicClownFish004.jpghttps://s5.postimg.cc/cbk7grop3/Divers001.jpghttps://s5.postimg.cc/fcvxag7uv/HaleyAndMiaAzul001.jpgMeryl chatting to an Isla Paridiso local.https://s5.postimg.cc/7nded2e9z/Meryl009.jpgShe gets a bit aggressive in her pursuit of anyone she thinks might be wealthy.Meryl doing the smustle dance at the festivalhttps://s5.postimg.cc/5o5itrhs7/Meryl007.jpgMeryl got toadifiedhttps://s5.postimg.cc/kv7q8w5hj/MerylAndCraig003.jpgThat must have been from an accident while making an elixir as I don't think any of the household members would have dared to deliberately toadify her.Haley fishing in the wishing well they keep in their basementhttps://s5.postimg.cc/wfm7bsa87/Haley003.jpgSam at work in the winterhttps://s5.postimg.cc/bhv0iwfd3/Sam007.jpgBuilding a snowman with a visiting simhttps://s5.postimg.cc/6ob9e1ivb/EvilSnowman001.jpgSleeping gnomeshttps://s5.postimg.cc/fnf28rfev/GnomesAndAPumpkin001.jpgSam waking up to go to workhttps://s5.postimg.cc/5xqmaujev/Dan002.jpghttps://s5.postimg.cc/f73rueqbr/Household001.jpgApple bobbing at my build - The Carnival on the Water.

There is a lot of different things going on but it is always working towards one of more objectives.By Episode 30 they are trying to get all the items from the tomb collection in each of the world adventure worlds. Then I'm going to take them around a few different worlds to showcase some of my builds that I have in my studio. I haven't added anything new to my studio since I put CC in my game so it is all CC free. This extra will also give me an opportunity to have them all complete their lifetime wishes.The only build of mine that's in my studio that you see in the videos so far is the Carnival on the Water lot. Happy Simming.

Episode 78 of the Isla Paradiso Bunch is now on YouTube and ready to be viewed

https://youtu.be/xpoqTOMJCBA

This episode continues on from Episode 77 in which Judy and Craig went to Egypt to find more information on the elusive tombs under the Nectary in France.

In this episode they return from Egypt with the Ruby of Sachara. The Nectar Merchant at the Nectary directs Craig to place the Ruby into one of the mysterious holes in the creepy room they found (in Episode 77) under the nectary.

With the entrance to the Tomb of Isael revealed the pair of adventurous sims work through many puzzles and dangers to eventually find the French Signet of the Tomb of Isael. It is a dangerous, difficult and stunningly beautiful tomb.

I can't guarantee I found every single hidden door but we did find a lot of hidden doors and treasure and eventually Craig retrieved the Sapphire of The Crescent Moon. Then they had an unfortunate encounter with a pair of mummies that were determined to prevent Craig and Judy from leaving the tomb with the Sapphire.

In the end all is good and finally get to taste some nectar after Craig reports to the Nectar Merchant. Of course the Nectar Merchant now wants them to use the Sapphire to get into the final French tomb and that story will be told in Episode 79.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Happy Simming

Isla Paradiso Bunch Episode 79 is now available to watch on YouTube.

https://youtu.be/00_bSxygq0M

There will be only 1 more episode of this series after this one. I'll start work on it soon and hope to have the series complete by this time next week.

This episode is about 50 minutes. It does the complete adventure of the Tomb of Jean Necteaux, the final big tomb under the Nectary in Champs Les Sims.

When I started the videos for the second playlist of the Isla Paradiso Bunch I said I wanted to have my sims find all of the tomb objects from each of the World Adventure Worlds. This challenge is successfully completed in this episode with the addition of the French Signet of the Tomb of Jean Necteaux to their collection.

Craig and Judy are the adventures for this episode. We do, very briefly, see the entire household at home in Dragon Valley at the end of this video.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Here is the rest of the household I started showing in my above post.

If you've been watching the Isla Paradiso Bunch videos you will know Bertie, Benjie, and Terry.

Bertie and Benjie are twins - because Judy picked them both at the same time.

There is a 50% chance of getting a Plant Sim baby or a Forbidden Fruit when a sim plants a Forbidden Fruit seed.

Now the trick is that percent chance applies to each seed without any regard to any other seeds that were planted.

You'd have to plant thousands of seeds to see the result of a 50/50 mix of baby or fruit being produced.

Anyway, Judy really wanted one plant sim baby so she decided to hedge her bets and planted 2 seeds. She got 2 babies that both needed picking at the same time because she planted her forbidden fruit seeds at the same time. You would have seen them being planted and cared for and picked by Judy in a few of the episodes of the Isla Paradiso Bunch.

When I built the house for this group I left a huge courtyard in the middle. This is a playground for the whole household, but the children have most use of it. I'd like to keep most of these children as children for a while. Bertie and Benjie and their Imaginary Friends made real will age up next as the plant sim twins have been children for a long time. But I haven't played them much as they've been living in Isla Paradiso and the game there was getting progressively more unstable for a long time. The second playlist of the Isla Paradiso Videos were mostly about adventures and tomb walkthroughs with very little time spent at home with the family. Towards the last few episodes it was almost impossible to play them at home. I took the children to France or China occasionally just so we could see them and let them develop skills.

Bertie was picked first - I changed his hair to blond as I could never work out which was Bertie and which was Benjie. I also experimented with their skin colour by sliding their slider as far as possible to the left.

Bertie's traits are: athletic, eco friendly, green thumb His LTW is Illustrious Author

https://i.postimg.cc/XJ1Kp4zt/Bertie-Butler001.jpg

This group includes Bertie, Donna and Pippa. You'll meet them down the page a little.

https://i.postimg.cc/Bb8TFRWb/Donna-Bertie-Pippa001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/9F7PQ3tN/Donna-Bertie-Pippa002.jpg

And this is Benjie. His traits are: Good, Loves the Outdoors, Loves to Swim His LTW: Become a Creature Robot Cross Breeder
https://i.postimg.cc/DZv5SCy4/Benjie001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/zfS0Xm51/Benjie002.jpg

This group are left to right: Donna, Pippa, Bertie and Benjie.
https://i.postimg.cc/C1c7kjzP/Donna-Pippa-Bertie-Benjie001.jpg

Here are Terry King playing with Pippa.
https://i.postimg.cc/2jH9ZfWk/Terry-Pippa001.jpg

Pippa is Bertie's Imaginary Friend made real. Pippa's name as a doll was Peaches.

I didn't like the traits Pippa arrived with and changed them. She started out with the traits of Evil, Slob, Never Nude. She might have been entertaining to play, but I was tired at the time and didn't want to contemplate what she might get up to. At another time of day when I was less tired I may have just chuckled and left her alone just as she was. However I did change her traits and now she is: Good Sense of Humour, Loves the Outdoors, Equestrian.

Good Sense of Humour and Loves the Outdoors can both be excessively annoying traits but I hope they are not going to drive me crazy with Pippa.

Since I deleted the race track because I didn't want to play with horses I thought it a bit ironic I now have a sim who has the equestrian trait. I think I gave her that trait because she has a hidden trait that has something to do with loving horses. She may never get to ride a horse, but then, when she grows up she might move to a different world where she can do whatever she wants with horses. And there are lots of horses roaming wild in Sunlit Tides. It has plagues of wild horses.

Pippa's LTW is still to be chosen.

https://i.postimg.cc/T3btFL41/Pippa001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/9FKxLt1s/Pippa002.jpg

Carl is Benjie's Imaginary Friend made real. Carl's traits are: Adventurous, Sailor, Dog Person. LTW still to be chosen.
Carl's name while he was a doll was Cuddles.

https://i.postimg.cc/5tx8gXcZ/Carl-Benjie-Harry001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/QM01yjhV/Carl-Butler001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/Nj81R1n6/Carl-Butler002.jpg

Anne and Terry are chatting here. Terry is a mermaid. Both Anne and Terry are clones. Terry is the clone Judy made from a DNA sample she got from Triton King. Anne is a clone Judy made of herself.

https://i.postimg.cc/qqCKqnnC/Anne-Terry001.jpg

Ruth, Terry and Anne
https://i.postimg.cc/L4qQLb3j/Ruth-Terry-Anne001.jpg

Just Terry.
https://i.postimg.cc/XXSCCJc1/Terry-King003.jpg

Here are Benjie, Carl and Harry
https://i.postimg.cc/bY2Ls2qT/Benjie-Carl-Harry001.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/qqnGYW1Y/Benjie-Carl-Harry002.jpg

Harry is Terry's imaginary friend made real. Harry's original name was Hesper.
https://i.postimg.cc/mDKwmTyC/Harry-King001.jpg

I had a lot of trouble caused by Hesper. He was happily running around after Terry after he became live. Then I didn't notice him for a while. When Terry got the potion to make Hesper real there was no sign of Hesper. His picture was still in Terry's relationship panel but Terry couldn't interact with him. This led to panic on my part. I'd gone to all the trouble of getting Terry to make that potion and now his IF had done a runner. Apparently he was well on his way out of the world and existing with the homeless.

I used Master Controller on countless occasions to reset Hesper and to add Hesper to the household.

I tried the cheat ResetSim Hesper a few times too.

I don't give up easily. I kept it up well beyond the point when I should have given up.

I was thinking I was going to have to shut down without saving and put myself through the tedium of Terry making his potion again plus lose progress other sims had made.

I tried again to add Hesper to the household. As soon as I did it I thought I shouldn't have done that because Hesper wasn't made real, he wasn't ready to appear in the portrait panel on the left of the screen. He was live but not real.

Anyway I had one more go at adding him to the household knowing it was futile when suddenly his portrait appeared in the portrait panel. This was a bit of a worry - he shouldn't be there. I just wanted him back on the lot running around after Terry. Then I spotted him just inside the front gate and Terry was with him. Terry had to be active for me to see Hesper.

Terry was already best friends with Hesper so they ran all around the outside of the house to where there was a bit more room and then Terry offered the potion to Hesper. He drank it. This was a relief as he now belonged in the portrait panel. When he became real I named him Harry.

Harry's traits are: Can't stand art, virtuoso, heavy sleeper. I don't like two of this 3 traits but I'll live with them. He hasn't chosen a LTW yet.

Finally there is Donna. In these pics she's playing tag with Charlie. Donna is a clone Judy made from a DNA sample she got in France from Lea Dutiel. Donna was cloned in France and this process was shown in one of the videos of Playlist 2 of the Isla Paradiso Bunch.

Donna still needs to discover the potion to make her Imaginary Friend real.
https://i.postimg.cc/DZ4QJt3Z/Charlie-Donna001.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/ZqMFqJg2/Donna-Dutiel001.jpg

Poor Riley is having trouble keeping up with Donna. In this pic Riley is standing next to Harry but of course, Harry can't see Riley as until Riley drinks the potion and becomes real only Donna can see him/her. And I can only see Riley when Donna is the active sim.

https://i.postimg.cc/QMYGxWjD/Riley-Harry001.jpg

That's it for now. There is still much to be done with this household but I probably won't do much more until I'm ready to start making more videos on them. I think at least one or two people have indicated they might like to see more of this household.

Since there seems to be a romance developing naturally between Judy and Joe there might be babies born. Eventually I'll expect the children to age up to teens in future episodes and the teens will probably age up to Young Adults and might move out to set up their own households. But before that happens I want to enjoy some of the children playing in the big courtyard full of wonderful things for their enjoyment.

Only time will tell. Happy Simming all.

EDIT; I'm thinking of using this picture as the thumbnail for future videos when the videos are about the household in Sunlight Tides.

Thank you. I do hope you enjoy the videos.

The next few (I don't know how many) will be devoted to them completing the tombs in the three World Adventure Worlds. I have it all recorded but don't know how many videos I'll end up making with what I've got recorded.

Update

Today I did Episode 32 of The Isla Paradiso Bunch and will be loading it to YouTube in the morning. I need to sleep first (it's almost 2:30 am here now)

I just went through my recorded videos on this story - very quick look at what I've got recorded and stopped counting at video 43 and they still have to go back to China after spending time in all three World Adventure worlds. I stopped checking at that point because I don't know how much of it I will need to cut out - such as when I didn't realise I was recording when I saved the game and left it for an hour or two before going back to continue recording/playing. There are a lot more videos to come.

Episode 32 is a quiet wander around China where we see some pre-dawn scenery while it's raining in China. Craig and others go fishing. Sam finds lots of unsmelted mercury. Muriel works on her Martial Arts skill at the Academy and the Scholars Garden. She has an adventure to meditate at the scholars garden for 2 hours and she has just started meditating when the video ends.

Episode 33 will show Muriel completing that adventure as well as many other interesting adventures for the adventurers before they finally leave for France.

Episode 34 shows them in France.

I need to load Episode 32 in the morning (my time) before I start work on Episode 33 which I'll load some time next week.

Happy Simming. :)

EDIT: Having a wild guess - I'd suspect the images in my previous post where they are living in Sunlit Tides will probably be in Episode 60 something.

Enjoy and Happy Simming.

Any and all constructive feedback appreciated.

This video features the tomb found in The Ancient Monk's Retreat

https://s5.postimg.cc/w2zosh8ef/China_Ancient_Monk_Retreat003.jpg

Their next destination will be France in Episode 34.

Since I'm using NRAAS Traveler mod they can go direct to France from China and this is what they will do.

I added Episode 34 this morning.

In this episode the sims travel direct from China to France. The NRAAS Traveler mod lets you do this.

When in France, Muriel completes the first adventure at the Celtic Foray with some help from Sam.

At the end of the video Dianna gets into her limo and visits the bookstore to buy the books they need from France.

https://youtu.be/Y2QWjva4xSM

I'll start work on Episode 35 later today. It takes place while Muriel and Sam are doing the tomb at the Forgotten Burial ground. I just made two separate episodes as it was easier to follow the story when doing just the tomb in one and the other adventure in the other instead of skipping back and forward between the two groups of sims all the time.

Happy Simming

I hope you get a chance to watch and enjoy the video.

It's been a while since I last posted a video on YouTube. This has been due to a combination of factors.

Firstly, I have had consistent issues with using the free software I have been using to edit and narrate my videos.

When I made the first video of my proposed McFluff series I worked on it for about 2+ full days and as I was saving the final version ready to load to YouTube it said it was corrupted. I'd never seen that particular issue before so I just gave up on it for now.

Secondly, I have purchased a new computer and I was planning to buy new software to allow me to edit and narrate my videos with something that would hopefully work better. It has taken me this long to get the computer up and running due to various issues at home. But the new computer is now working and I have the new software and this latest video is my first attempt at using it. I think I'm getting the idea.

And regarding the McFluffs, I have since expanded my story and will be starting the videos with a full-blown prequel showing the back story of where I originally planned to start the videos. This back story includes a certain amount of witchcraft, a lot of cats and lots of ice sculptures. I'm currently recording video for this prequel.

I was initially planning to use a few screen shots from this prequel as part of my original idea for the McFluff videos. But my main sim in the prequel managed to complete the one and only tomb sequence that the Isla Paradiso Bunch have so far not been able to complete. Yes, she got into the tombs under the Nectary in France and completed them. I recorded the process because that was the only place I couldn't get the Isla Paradiso Bunch into and that was due to a bug in the program - the adventure simply disappears half way through the sequence of initial tasks they have to get through to get the key to get into the tombs.

I still have hopes for getting Craig into the Nectary tomb but realistically I doubt it will happen. So I was delighted and surprised when I was able to record another sim doing it. One thing led to another and I decided I'd just record the whole McFluff saga and start at the beginning instead of half way through it.

--------

I am about to make a series of videos about Caroline's story. I've recorded enough for a few videos.

Caroline is a sim living in Isla Paradiso and her function is to get me some of the badges I have so far not managed to get. She is doing very well and has recently been joined by her friend Wilma. These two ladies may make an appearance in parts of the McFluff prequel.

The Isla Paradiso Bunch Episode 35

https://youtu.be/fXHkT8vlDHI

Episode 35 is slightly shorter than usual.

Episode 36 may be a little longer than usual.

In Episode 34 they have arrived in France and Muriel gets an opportunity from the Adventure Board to investigate the Celtic Foray. She goes off to do that and takes Sam with her to help.

In Episode 35 Haley, Josephine, Judy, Jeannie, Dianna and Craig decide to give the Adventure Board a miss and visit the little fishing hole while Muriel and Sam investigate the tomb under the Celtic Foray. Judy and Co plan to enjoy the day fishing, catching butterflies, picking flowers and taking time to chat and relax.

At the end of the video Haley takes an interest in some large boulders near the fishing hole. She encourages Judy to see if she can do something to find out what's under them. Judy manages to reveal something interesting and Episode 36 will be the full investigation of that particular 'something interesting'.

I hope you enjoy watching Episode 35.

Happy Simming
