Isla Paradiso Bunch

I have now published Episode 30 of my Isla Paradiso Bunch videos.

https://youtu.be/axkEtEhm3AQ

The 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.

    Do you recall the first ever video series I ever made and put onto YouTube? It was the Isla Paradiso Bunch.

    Initially I just wanted to see if I could get the badge for having a sim make 300 elixirs.

    I used an old sim, my original witch who I first made way back when Supernatural Expansion Pack was first released.

    In this original game I made my Crystal Gardens build and posted pictures here and people wanted me to put it onto the Exchange. I'd not planned to do that but I did because people asked for it. In the end I think it is a bit complicated for most people's computers. It is huge but has had quite a few downloads and is still in my studio.

    It was in this build that brand new Judy lived with a few housemates.

    One of her housemates was Lorna Lake. Here is a pic of Lorna in a different game as I don't have a good shot of her in the game in Crystal Gardens.

    Here is a pic of some of the housemates relaxing in the Crystal Gardens house. Lorna is seen sitting in one corner. Judy is holding Anne (more on Anne later)
    https://i.postimg.cc/wvWyrN98/Screenshot-110-zps2794b3ed.jpg

    Lorna is important and you'll see why soon. She is also one of my old favourites and has been in many games and currently resides with her husband and children in a world in my Big Game so it is possible for you to see her in one of my future videos of Oscar's Teen Years or The McFulff story as they are both set in my Big Game. Lorna is human.

    When Supernatural was about to be released I wasn't sure if I'd get it. I really did not want supernatural beings in my games but I did want the build items that came with it. I changed my mind over and over and eventually decided to buy it as I'd probably regret it if I didn't. As it turns out I grew to love having the supernatural beings in my game.

    I decided to make a witch. So I made Judy. She was my first witch and I think she initially wore a white cowboy hat.

    Since University Life was released I thought I'd try to learn a bit about some of the new things that came with it. I'd seen people posting their plant sims. I thought I'd have a go and decided Judy could be the mother of my first plant sim. I bought her a Science machine and she set to work learning the science skill and it took such a long time for her to successfully make a forbidden fruit seed I thought she (and I) was completely useless. She planted her seed in their large garden. I think it was in a pot.

    This was long before we had soil rugs in the game. And I already had indoor gardens but usually they were up high in the build. Usually on the roof.

    https://i.postimg.cc/NMNMSp19/CGFl4Garden.jpg

    The first seed didn't get picked in time and it died. I think, or maybe it was a forbidden fruit. Something went wrong with it and I got Judy to make another forbidden fruit seed. That took ages too. She planted it and I was nervous of it dying too. So I watched it carefully. When it was finally ready to pick Judy was out somewhere so I got Lorna to pick it and it turned out to be a plant sim baby boy who I called Charlie.

    I wasn't entirely happy to discover Lorna was the mother. That's when I learned the parent of the plant sim baby is the one that picks it. So Charlie and Lorna were an item and I referred to him as Charlie the Plant Sim. Charlie and Lorna spent quite a lot of time together arguing with Charlie the Evil Chicken.

    Somewhat frustrated I decided to get Judy to take a DNA sample from herself and decided since she's so useless with that science machine contraption she may as well fail at cloning herself too. So she used her own DNA to try to clone a baby. It worked. I was shocked. So I named the baby Anne and it had no parent so I decided Judy could be her mother.

    Charlie and Anne were toddlers together and became children together and then I moved on from that game and didn't play them for a really long time.

    Here they are. Anne is a toddler and Charlie is a child already.
    https://i.postimg.cc/1tW43GWx/CGEntrance.jpg

    They played and studied together happily.

    https://i.postimg.cc/wv0SWmYF/CGPlayArea1.jpg

    I'm sure I used them is a variety of new games over the years but never aged Charlie or Anne up beyond the child stage.

    I started a new game with Judy and Anne and moved Charlie in with them. I played for ages and they had a lovely home in Dragon Valley, up on the plateau where I had established a huge witches village.

    The part of this house you can see is just the entrance to a huge underground mansion.

    The Isla Paradiso Bunch begins

    I had Judy making elixirs and I discovered there was a badge available if your sims made 300 elixirs. I was sure Judy had made more than 300 elixirs but there was no badge. So I moved her out on her own to a new game in Isla Paradiso. I decided to get her to make 300 elixirs there. I planned to have her back with her children and friends in Dragon Valley after she'd got me the badge.

    Playlist 1
    Spoiler

    In Playlist 1 of the Isla Paradiso Bunch I started trying to get all of the badges that I didn't already have from the Island Paradise EP. This failed miserably. I later learned you need a single sim household to be sure of getting those badges. I started the Caroline and Friends series and Caroline lived alone until she achieved all of the missing IP badges for me. That series is continuing and she now has many housemates who are going for various badges including the badges from University Life EP.

    So in the beginning of Playlist 1, I had Judy as a single sim household.

    ----------------
    A little bit of background so you can see where this is going....
    I left Anne behind and I was using a new version of Judy so she didn't remember her cloned daughter.

    Eventually, by the end of playlist 2 Judy had a few new children. She had cloned Triton King and picked two plant sim babies and then cloned Lea Dutiel from France. Her children/toddlers at the end of Playlist 2 are Bertie and Benjie Butler (plant sims), Terry King (clone) and Donna Dutiel (clone).

    All newborns get an imaginary friend doll in this game.

    ---------------

    In the beginning, due to boredom, I couldn't play with only one sim in the household.

    I added a friend for Judy and looked through my library for a suitable sim to add to Judy's household.

    I chose Josephine who was a blue genie that I'd previously banned from my games years as she was too hot headed and constantly picked fights with one of her housemates.

    Here is a pic of the last fight she had before being banned from my games. Her housemate, the blond, was about to walk down the stairs when Josephine jumped on her and attacked.

    https://i.postimg.cc/50shhRK0/GenieFightInCasino.jpg

    I decided to give Josephine one last chance. I was very tempted to delete her, but I gave her a makeover. I had mods and custom skins by then so she got a new skin and clothes. Fortunately, she hasn't attacked anyone in this new game. But she is a coward and often faints when the Ghost of Mia Azul appears.
    https://i.postimg.cc/wv0KKjTL/Josephene001.jpg

    I just couldn't leave it at only one extra household member for Judy so I grabbed another two blue genies from my library. I don't have much of a memory of having them in my games but I did make them in CAS. I gave them both makeovers with new custom skins and new hair.

    Jeannie
    https://i.postimg.cc/LXysxvzk/Jeanie001.jpg

    Haley
    https://i.postimg.cc/wvWhDXMZ/Haley001.jpg
    Haley joins the military career but doesn't make much progress in it. She meets up with an evil mermaid, Salty Seaworth. Salty's lifetime wish is to see the ghost of his wealthy spouse. Haley seems to think so long as they don't get married all will be good. They are eternally engaged and they ended up having twin daughters.

    Wendy as a toddler
    https://i.postimg.cc/hjpgp3tR/Wendy003.jpg

    Gerri as a child
    https://i.postimg.cc/ydL6vcJK/Gerri005.jpg

    Wendy as a child
    https://i.postimg.cc/k4j2pkVB/Wendy007.jpg

    Wendy and Gerri
    https://i.postimg.cc/TwCrmxJR/Wendy-Gerri001.jpg

    When Haley and Salty got engaged, Haley had a bachelorette party. I watched them for a while but eventually left them to it to play with other household members who were not at the party. When I got back to the party, Mia Azul had died of dehydration. I got her into an urn and she became part of the household.

    Craig Miller
    Once I'd added Judy, Josephine, Jeannie and Haley to the household I decided I had to have at least one male sim so made a new male sim. He's human. His name is Craig. I keep meaning to change the colour of his eyes but haven't yet.

    https://i.postimg.cc/XJsBh9MW/Craig002.jpg

    By the end of Playlist 2 Craig has had 2 alien babies.
    I eventually captured the alien mother and added her to the household.

    Diana
    Before starting this save, I was testing some of my custom content and needed a tester sim. She was a throwaway sim and I didn't take any care when making her.
    https://i.postimg.cc/Twkqmpck/Dianna008.jpg
    Diana joined the Magician Career and added some magic to various episodes of the Isla Paradiso Bunch Playlists 1 and 2.

    Meryl
    While Diana was testing I made her an evil 'friend' to help out.
    https://i.postimg.cc/xCsLp3Nm/Meryl010.jpg
    Since Diana and Meryl were already an item I added Meryl to the household too. Her dancing style is hilarious to watch.
    Meryl needs to see the ghost of her wealthy spouse to satisfy her Lifetime Wish. She adds some hilarity as she autonomously heads out on her own to find out if various sims around town are wealthy.

    Sam
    At this point I decided the household was a little unbalanced and made another new male sim. Sam. He's human and by the end of Playlist 2 had one alien baby. And I caught the mother and added her to the household too. I also would like to change the colour of Sam's eyes.
    https://i.postimg.cc/hj2cJpff/Sam004.jpg
    In Playlist 1, Sam is in the Lifesaving career and gets to the top of it.

    Muriel
    Next I made Muriel because I needed a self sim. She doesn't actually look much like me but she'll do. I use her for my avatar on YouTube. She might as well be added to the game. Because - well why not? It was totally out of control by now anyhow.
    https://i.postimg.cc/bJ3WcvsS/SelfSim001.jpg

    So began Playlist 1. This was meant to be a way for me to learn about YouTube. I discovered I enjoyed making videos.

    In playlist 1 the household gets to know each other. They make hundreds of elixirs but no badge ever appears for them. And they fail to get my badges for Isla Paradiso too in spite of completing all requirements for each badge.

    I built them a huge resort and it was a 5 star resort.
    https://i.postimg.cc/hj290cF8/Resort013.jpg
    They also owned Hobarts resort and didn't get a badge for that one either.

    There was nothing wrong with the resorts. It turs out a single sim can own only one resort at a time to get the badges. Caroline got the badge for running a 0 star resort from Hobarts. Then she sold it and I added the resort I built for the Isla Paradiso Bunch to one of their hidden islands and she got the badge for running a 5 star resort as soon as I added the build to her island. I was a bit miffed with that as I'd been planning to get her to work on improving her resort. But then I decided it was probably a good thing because I'd already put a lot of effort into building it up with the Isla Paradiso Bunch.



    Playlist 2 (walkthroughs of all tombs in China, France and Egypt)

    Spoiler


    They completed all requirements for all of the badges in Island Paradise EP and I moved them to one of their owned hidden islands and they lived for a while and I started Playlist 2.

    This playlist is a series of episodes where they complete all of the tombs in all of the three World Adventure Worlds. The episodes are basically detailed walk throughs of each tomb as well as other things they get up to when visiting France, China and Egypt.

    This is most of the household towards the end of Playlist 2

    https://i.postimg.cc/PxShKB0f/BertieBirthday004.jpg

    I had made the aim of Playlist 2 to find all of the special Tomb Objects from each world. They are differently named in each world - can't think of the names right now other than in one world they are the Sigil of something or other in one of the three worlds.

    Here are pics of their collections from the end of the playlist
    China

    France
    https://i.postimg.cc/KvdZddQ6/France.jpg

    Egypt
    https://i.postimg.cc/ZqmJqpGj/Egypt.jpg

    By now the game was totally unplayable as there were too many sims. I moved the alien mothers to a separate house. That helped but not much.

    End of Playlist 2


    I wanted a stable game.

    I used NRAAS Porter mod and packed up everyone from the household plus the alien mothers plus the related mermaids. The mermaids I packed were Triton King, Maya Ocean and Salty Seaworth plus a fourth mermaid who the game had generated, presumably to replace Mia Azul who had died and her ghost resides with the main household.

    The household set up in Dragon Valley
    Spoiler

    I built them a new house in Dragon Valley and added them to the world.
    https://i.postimg.cc/wThdgFBd/Home-From-Above.jpg

    I was experimenting with a new style of house. I enjoyed this idea of a large courtyard inside the 4 walls.
    After everyone was added to the world the main household was too big.

    I had also added at least one extra sim to the world as a potential wife for either Sam or Craig - if they were every to marry. Not sure about that yet.

    I had recently made Penny and here she is.
    https://i.postimg.cc/cJnZjR1n/Penny003.jpg

    https://i.postimg.cc/26y295j1/Penny002.jpg

    I found and added child versions of Charlie and Anne to the household and added them to Judy's family tree as her children.

    I played with them for a while and this is where I started giving major makeovers to my imaginary friends made real.
    The first one to get this major makeover was Anne's imaginary friend, Ruth.

    Here is Ruth as a child when she was first made real and given a makeover.

    For some reason I added Joe Hart to the household. I'm wondering if I had ideas of giving Judy a future spouse.
    https://i.postimg.cc/kgpfYPqn/Joe002.jpg

    Now their traveling to other worlds is over and her twins are growing up, Haley decided to focus on her career. Here she is heading off to work.

    Obviously this whole thing was getting seriously out of hand. I needed to break them up into their own households. But I didn't want the others to go off and do their own thing. So I decided I'd move Judy with her family to a new world. They travelled to Sunlit Tides where I built them a new house with a big central courtyard near the beach.

    There might be a playlist 3 but it won't be for a long time. I was just thinking about them over the past few days and decided to post this here now. I hope you enjoy them. I used spoilers so there wouldn't be so many pictures to wade through whenever you visit this page.

    Happy Simming All

    Hi all. I'd like some feedback please.

    Part 1 of The Isla Paradiso Bunch was set up for me to learn how to use YouTube and for us to get to know the sims in the household. The game evolved and I decided to send them off exploring the tombs from World Adventures. That became Part 2 with walkthroughs of all tombs.

    Now, I know some of you would like to see more of this group of sims and so would I. But I don't feel I can manage another series of videos as I have so many stories going and I need to finalise most of them asap.

    Then thing I am thinking about doing is to start doing some Live Streaming. I've never done that and am just beginning to work out how to do it. The reason I've decided to do this is YouTube is trying to get people to live stream. My channel is way too small for me to monetise it and I thought you needed to have more subscribers than I have to be able to live stream. So either something at YouTube has changed, or I just wasn't aware of it. I know YouTube puts ads on some of my videos but I get nothing from that.

    If I do go ahead with live streaming I propose to begin with about an hour of game play from The Isla Paradiso Bunch.

    Here's a bit of a back story to show what's been going on with them.

    At the end of Part 2, I was struggling to complete the final tombs. The household had grown quite large. I was having a problem with the final tomb in France. I think I worked out what the problem was. It was a random thing that I hadn't expected.

    By the time they got into the final tomb in France they had been living in their own home in France for a long time. The point was, they no longer stayed at the Base Camp. When working on the final tombs there are a series of mini adventures, one of which requires the sim to visit Egypt to get something from a Sim living there. Every time my sims visited Egypt the adventure dropped out. Even if I used a mod to restart the adventure it immediately dropped out so the adventure could not continue.

    I started a fresh game several times and kept trying to work out what was wrong. Every single time, while they were living in a house in France, the adventure dropped out in Egypt. The only time it worked was when I got exasperated with it and didn't bother buying them a home in France. They stayed at the base camp in France and finally, the big tomb in France went through without any problems at all. So I was able to complete the videos showing walk throughs of all tombs, including the final tombs in France.

    My objective for that series was to collect the major tomb objects from each world. They got them all. They have different names in different worlds but in one world they are Sigils. I hope you know what I'm talking about there.

    China tomb collection
    https://i.postimg.cc/wvTHXHTm/Screenshot-149.jpg

    During their adventures, both of the male sims from the household had alien pregnancies. I kept all of the alien babies and managed to capture the alien mothers and added them to the household. I decided the babies need to know both parents.

    The original sim in the household was Judy.

    https://i.postimg.cc/RFqBm0B8/Judy002.jpg

    Judy is a witch I had grabbed from another game in which she had a daughter she had cloned from a sample of her own DNA. That daughter, Anne, was never in the Isla Paradiso Bunch videos.

    https://i.postimg.cc/rsS9bDN5/Anne001.jpg

    Judy also had a plant sim son, Charlie, who also never appeared in the Isla Paradiso Videos.

    https://i.postimg.cc/rpKNTn9V/Charlie-Lake001.jpg
    I allowed the wrong sim to pick Charlie so he doesn't resemble Judy. But she made his forbidden fruit seed and planted his seed and cared for him so I tend to think of him as her son even though another sim who is not part of this story picked him.

    So I took Judy from her game and she left her two children behind to start a new game in Isla Paradiso.

    At this stage I had no thoughts about making videos. It is just that this was the game I was playing when I decided to make a channel and start loading videos to YouTube.

    That channel currently has 200 subscribers. It has taken a really long time for that many people to subscribe.

    As I played with Judy, a lone sim trying to make 300 elixirs I found it all a bit boring. I like big households with full autonomy.

    I thought if I added two or three extra sims the game might be a bit more interesting.

    I have hundreds of sims saved to my hard drives. These are sims I've made and played at various times since June 2009. I decided to add a genie to Judy's household. I found some old genies I'd made back when we could first make genies in CAS. I had no mods at that time. The genies I selected were the original blue colour. I chose Haley, then decided I needed one more and couldn't decide between Josephine and Jeanie. Josephine had only ever been in one previous game and she'd given my so much trouble I'd decided never to play her again. She's hot headed and a coward and she kept on picking fights with other household members. At first this amused me but eventually I was really over having her roll around the floor in a ball of dust as she attacked another household member. I hadn't deleted her but she might as well have been deleted as I never used her again. As I pondered do I erase her totally from my computer or do I give her another go? So I grabbed her and added her to Judy's household along with Haley and Jeannie. I gave them all makeovers, including new skins, but I didn't change their traits.

    Haley

    and

    Josephine
    https://i.postimg.cc/wv0KKjTL/Josephene001.jpg

    Next I added Craig as I thought the household needed a man.

    Craig

    I might change his eye colour as every time I look at him I want to do that.

    Then I thought Craig might need some support from a fellow bloke and I made Sam and added him to the household.

    and Meryl

    The number of sims in the household was getting out of hand by this time.

    Haley met Salty Seaworth while out diving and when Salty realised she was wealthy he pursued her romantically until they became engaged and they had twin daughters who were toddlers for most of the series.

    Wendy

    Judy with her family of clones and plant sims

    Over time Judy acquired two plant sim sons, Bertie and Benjie, and a clone, Terry King, she made using the DNA from Triton King. Then she made a clone she made of Lea Dutiel from France.

    Mia Azul died during Halye's bachelorette party.

    They keep her inside in an urn and she regularly haunts them. Josephine faints from seeing the ghost.

    The household when they started Part 2 of the series consisted of Judy, Haley, Jeannie, Josephine, Craig, Muriel, Meryl, Sam, Diana, Wendy, Geri, Bertie, Benjie and Terry.

    During their adventures in Part 2 of the series Craig and Sam both had alien pregnancies and three alien babies joined the household. Judy cloned Lea Dutiel and she ended up with Donna Dutiel joined the household.

    I captured the two alien mothers of Craig and Sam's babies.

    The household was on the verge of explosion. The house was stuffed full of relics collected during their adventures. The game was unstable.

    I used NRAAS Porter mod to gather up the household plus related sims. The related sims included Salty Seaworth, Triton King and Maya Ocean plus the two alien mothers.

    I started a fresh game and built them a huge new house in Dragon Valley. The alien mothers were placed together in a nearby house and the mermaids were put into a home of their own too.

    Then I added Judy's two children from her previous game, Anne and Charlie. And I moved another sim I'd made into a house near the Dragon Valley home of this huge household.

    Penny lives alone in Dragon Valley near the house containing the sims from Part 2 of the Isla Paradiso Bunch. I thought she might be a potential wife for Sam or Craig.

    Next I played them for a while and aged up the twins to teens. They were children for a while before they became teens.

    Naturally I made all of their imaginary friends real. The household was too overstuffed. I wanted to break it up but keep the unplayed sims in stasis so I moved a group of them to Sunlit Tides. This is Judy's family. She has a big house in Sunlit Tides and she lives there with her children and their imaginary friends made real.

    This is the household I would like to try streaming to start with. If the streaming works I expect to include all of the sims I moved to Dragon Valley from time to time.

    Some of the children in Judy's household have aged up to teen.

    This is Anne Butler, Judy's clone.

    And Benjie's Imaginary Friend made real, Pippa

    I tried to make Bertie and Benjie look a bit different from each other as they were identical. Here's Bertie

    And Bertie's imaginary friend made real, Carl Butler

    And Terry King

    Of course, Terry is a little Mermaid.

    And Terry's imaginary Friend made real, Harry King

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

    I think her imaginary friend has not yet been made real but it is live and they run around together.

    Their house is on a large lot and there is an inner courtyard.

    They have a small basement garden
    https://i.postimg.cc/vB1Zzhcc/JoePeter001.jpg

    That's Joe and Peter in the garden. I think I made Joe as a possible love interest for Judy. Nothing much is happening between them so far. I've never given her a romantic interest before.

    They've also got a small outdoor garden for their trees

    I'm thinking maybe streaming for about 1 hour initially to see how it goes.

    What do you think?

    Thank you. I don’t know when I will be ready. It looks like I already have all of the software I need. I don’t have a camera on my computer so it’ll just have to be the game on screen. At least in the beginning. I do have a microphone so can talk. I will need to know the best time and day to do it. At the moment I have extra commitments taking my time as I’m in a play and need to go to rehearsals and then we’ll be on stage for 3 weekends. It ends in mid December. So I’ll spend the time between now and then getting it set up. I’ll let you know how I’m going with it.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. We might start with only one person watching but I have to start somewhere.
