Update.
Episode 37 is getting very close to completion.
I had almost 3 hours of video recorded for this episode. The problem is I have about 1 hr 45 minutes of the recorded video left to squeeze into less than 10 minutes if it's going to be restricted to 30 minutes long.
I'm thinking maybe I'll have to finish it off in another episode. There is so much happening in this episode.
Previous episodes recorded in the Great Southern Land had to be rushed as I had the house so overstuffed with sims I was having major problems with game stability. I also finally 'bit the bullet' and cleaned out the personal inventories of everyone and that helped a bit. It turned out that their inventories weren't as full as I thought. But they did have quite a few harvestables stashed.
Consequently, with this episode the game is running much better, and I've been able to do a lot more with everyone living in the house and some of each of them needs to be shown.
And I discovered the two brides who I sent to the Great Southern Land to meet their future husbands and to get married still needed to complete a lot of reading. They had their skills but still had recipes and fishing books to read. While they did that I recorded activities of some of the other residents.
Plus there was time for a slightly slower development of the romance between the two couples. I'm hoping to get this episode up in a day or two. Really I want to get it done tomorrow but I have to add the music and that can take a lot of time looking for it and getting it into the video.
Another complication is this couple discovered the Teppanyaki Grill in the basement at the dome. They made good use of it during their date.

However, it then caused mayhem at the wedding with everyone wanting to go to the grill when they were supposed to be dancing or getting married.
I don't think the double wedding went as well this time. The guests got a bit out of control.
Another development. This sim is Klaus Warner. He's an old sim I made years ago - while Sims 3 was still getting new packs. He is evil and his lifetime wish is Master Romancer. He has his eye on Lucy. She is evil too and is Jonie's imaginary friend made real. I'm sort of wondering if I might develop them into another romance and possible wedding in the final episodes. When I send the final 3 sims to the great southern land to meet their spouses. There won't be so many sims in the household and I'm sort of thinking it might be fun to team this pair up.

In the game for which I first made him he was part of a household of 8 unrelated young adults. He kept beating other household members up and I was glad when he started disappearing for most of each sim day. I suspected he was going into town. It was unusual for my sims to leave the house back then. But it was much more peaceful not having him around. Then I suddenly got the 'Big Meanie' badge awarded. I can only assume he was beating up townies while he was away from home. I never went to check on him.
The only trait Klaus and Lucy have in common is the Evil trait. They could be a fun couple.
This is Lucy

EDIT: If I do include Klaus in the story, I might give him a makeover as he has no CC on him. He was made a long time before I started adding CC or mods to my games.
