- karritzSeasoned Rookie@DivaDoodle thank you for all of your comments. I included that martial arts scene because I hadn't seen it before either. I was somewhere else in the world doing something else and popped back to the home lot and saw that going on so had to quickly pause for a bit while I got a suitable camera angle. I'd had something else in mind to do with them but couldn't resist videoing that autonomous scene in action.
It's funny when you get married couples playing up and the partner of one doesn't care. The strangest thing I ever saw was way back when only the base game had been released. I had my Patience working at the science facility and having a bit of a romance with Gobias. Then one day she was out collecting seeds and found Christopher Steen fishing at one of the big ponds in Sunset Valley. Well, she took one look at Christopher and it wasn't long before they were married and having children. But she never seems to have told Gobias and she used to spend the night at his place occasionally. Christopher either didn't know or didn't mind too much. Eventually she had babies with both of them. Then one night Gobias visited her home where she had all the babies and he autonomously got down on one knee and proposed to her. He appeared to beg her to marry him. In the end she had about 6 children and they all had the betrayed moodlet as she was cheating on both of Gobias and Christopher. At that stage the 'no jealousy' lifetime reward wasn't in the game. When it did appear in the game I gave it to her but the children all still hated her. They no longer had the betrayed moodlet but their relationship with her was totally red.
I really do enjoy making those imaginary friends over. My challenge is to not have any two sims look too much alike. Most of my older sims are quite similar. Having custom skins and makeup and hair helps.
The funniest thing my original Louise did was probably a reaction to Oscar's flirting with so many others. But she is a flirt too I think. There was one particular paparazzi she'd try to seduce every time he stood outside their home. In the end he'd arrive for duty and she'd rush out to greet him and he'd turn and run. Unfortunately it wasn't long before a new paparazzi turned up to complete his shift. She was the best at getting rid of that one paparazzi. Eventually he stopped coming at all.
I'm about to record something for the next video. I haven't played any further than was in the video you've just watched. I did something unplanned last night before I shut down the game. I added that evil Klaus Warner to the household and gave him new skin and added a bit of makeup. The makeup was just some bags under his eyes and slightly enlarged pores on his face. He was dancing with Clara at the weddings and now she has the evil trait. I purchased the more expensive brain enhancing machine. It will allow me to fix her traits and have a bit of fun in the video while doing it.
Happy Simming
EDIT: I thought Klaus Warner might liven things up a bit. First thing he did autonomously when I opened the game today was to 'mastermind plot' with Cameron (the IF made real you liked the look of in the last video). A few of them were still at the wedding dancing and eating cake.

Hi @Karrtiz! How nice to see the continuing romance of Latoya & Lionel and Megan & Mark!
I love seeing all the romance, the sims are just so cute! (EA just did such a good job!)
The will-o wisps look enchanting! and hahaha TY for including the scene of the 2 watching the martial arts with the watchers all worried, looking. I've never seen that before, so funny!
Super cute guy you made, the imaginary friend trying to make the forbidden fruit, his face reminds me of an old classic Disney Prince Charming. You really have the gift of making such interesting and looking sims! :)
Such darling scenes on the beach, on top of the water!!! hahaha And a proposal on top of the water! how Fun! :D
Great wedding! Nice that the concession guy came to watch the wedding as well.
I like Latoya & Lionel's wedding too, he's was already thinking of baby blocks, so cute. btw, I do love to see what they are thinking about! I don't know if I have mentioned that before.
The brides wedding dresses were really beautiful!
Cute houses on Cake Island for the newly weds. They have everything they will need, for sure.
Lovely meeting at the Beach! Great ending of a great video! I really enjoyed watching!???
Off topic, I finally have a situation you had with your original Louise, which is making me laugh and laugh. I have a married couple and the husband is continuing his affair with his romantic interest, and the wife doesn't care! ?♀️? I have never ever had that situation before! Anyway, it made me think of your stories you were telling me about your Oscar and Louise and You with a big fond smile! ?? - karritzSeasoned Rookie30 Grandchildren Badge Attempt Episode 38 is now available for you to watch on YouTube
https://youtu.be/rWFRj7LtUrI
I do hope you enjoy it if you get a chance to watch. If you do enjoy it, please remember to give it a like on YouTube. That helps the channel.
In this episode Megan and Latoya continue their romance with their future spouses, Mark and Lionel. We see the happy couples involved in a variety of activities in several different locations including the Dome that I made and it's features in a few of these videos; the festival lot in the Great Southern Land (Sunset Valley festival ground); and a beach.
At the end we see the double wedding in the wedding venue in the Dome. The happy couples then return home to Cake Island II and move into their new homes where they will raise their babies. It's getting close to the time when the 30 grandchildren will begin to arrive. I was just thinking I might have to space out the baby arrivals a bit as the game might crash if 15 sims all have a baby a the same time. I will need to have a think about that.
After Megan and Mark; and Latoya and Lionel move into their new forever homes the final 3 of their unmarried siblings leave for The Great Southern Land and at the end of the video we see Jack and Chris splashing in the ocean with two of the imaginary friends made real, Cameron and Bruce. Obviously Joni couldn't wait to meet her future spouse and she rushes down to the beach and meets him there. And that's the end. Next episode coming up soon.
The couples to meet, romance and marry in episode 39 are Joni and Jack; Constance and Chris; and Kendall and Karen.
A few pics from this episode (Sadly I'm really bad at remembering to take screen shots)

Happy Simming All - DIVADI52New Spectator
@Karritz Ah yes I make all of mine learn cooking, too, because it is too sad for me to see them eat burned food! And I make them learn their (and their partner's) favorite food too, because why wouldn't someone know how to make their very favorite?! lol
That will be nice to see some of them in your other series for sure! I look forward to that! - karritzSeasoned Rookie@DivaDoodle thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
The skills I make them get are just some cooking, hopefully at least to level 3 and regardless of the level they get to I make them read all of the recipes available up to that skill level; fishing to at least level 7 so they can read all of the bait books; and gardening at least to level 7 so they can plant any of the seeds they collect around the world.
My reasoning for making them learn all of this is, even if I don't play them later on in this game, I like to keep my sims and reuse them in other games and it's easier if I don't then have to start training them from scratch. Since I have so many sims in a single household it is quicker to train them all at the same time rather than doing it one at a time.
Expect to see these sims as townies later on in other series based on my Big Game. Currently the Big Game is the setting for the Oscar and Louise stories and also for the McFluff story. - DIVADI52New Spectator
@Karritz I'm watching your new episode :)
All these lovely imaginary friends are so nice looking!
That's a good idea to keep Bonehilda locked up so she won't scare Bruce!
The bowling looks so fun, I do like the looks of cosmic bowling.
It looks so nice when they start pairing off and get to know each other better with their future life partners!
Wow it was an hour long roller coaster ride! that must be nice, ours here in r/l are so short! (probably to prevent heart attacks!)
Yikes barefooted slow dancing! LOL Oh that first kiss is so cute! I so like watching their times together!
What are all the skills they need to learn before the can marry? I know for sure the cooking gardening and fishing, from past episodes.
I like the Spectral bakery! What a nice job you did on that!
haha I think Mark and Megan might need a basket ball hoop at their new house after they marry!
I love seeing their romance develop, they are so cute!
I really enjoyed watching! :) - karritzSeasoned RookieThe 30 Grandchildren Badge Attempt Episode 37 is now available for you to watch on YouTube.

The couples who are expected to get to know each other with a view to imminent marriage in this episode are Megan and Mark, and Latoya and Lionel.
https://i.postimg.cc/pTbMT9wM/Megan-Mark-Lionel-Latoya.jpg
Romance starts out relatively slowly but by the end of the episode they are on the brink of deciding to spend the rest of their lives together. The weddings will be in the next episode.
They visit a few venues around the world of The Great Southern Land by FrogPrincess_q. I added some of my own builds to the world and the sims spend most of their time in my builds but venues that came with the world, or Sims venues from Expansion or Stuff packs are also seen.
You will find them at the Festival Grounds (Sunset Valley Festival Ground), Caroline's Bowling Alley (my own build that may have CC in it so is not in my studio), The Spectral Bakery (my build that was made before I added any CC or mods to my game so is in my Studio on the Exchange), The Bluewaters Fun Park (another of my old builds that is in my studio on the Exchange); 'The Cake Pleasure Dome' (from Katy Perry Sweet Treats Stuff Pack - I added some bakery items to it); 'The Dome' (my build that is packed full of 3rd party Custom Content so will not be going onto the Exchange)

I hope you enjoy the video. - karritzSeasoned Rookie@DivaDoodle Klaus's traits are Brave, Disciplined, Evil, Flirty and Great Kisser. His LTW is Master Romancer.
I have occasionally had a sim that will autonomously brawl with others. I clearly remember one that I banned from my game for years because she was constantly rolling around on the ground with one other member of the household. Then I added her to the household for my Isla Paradiso Bunch videos and she behaved her self throughout the series.
This is a screen shot I got of the final fight she picked. I saw her jump onto her housemate who was about to walk down the spiral staircase. The housemate is the one with the blond bun. Josephine was still a blue genie at the time.
Josephine was kept out of all games for years until I finally added her to the Isla Paradiso Bunch household and gave her a makeover.
https://i.postimg.cc/wv0KKjTL/Josephene001.jpg
I don't remember all of Josephine's traits. She is a coward and often fainted when the ghost of Mia Azul came out to haunt the house. Mia Azul died in their house at a bachelorette party that went on unsupervised for too long.
Here she is slapping one of her household members, Diana. This pic is from the Isla Paradiso Bunch series. The sim working on making an elixir is Judy, my first ever witch.
https://i.postimg.cc/NMpDwxFj/Josephine-And-Dianna002.jpg
I have two series of videos on the Isla Paradiso Bunch in my channel. There are a few people hoping I do a third but I want to get a few other series completed first. In the first series they are trying to get me badges from the Island Paradise Expansion and in the second series they do walkthroughs of all of the tombs in the World Adventures tombs. If I do a third series it will be family life. The household expanded greatly during their adventures and I used Porter mod to move them to a new home world (Dragon Valley) and then started breaking them up into family groups. I do really want to continue playing them. The first family group I broke off has Judy (the witch) as head of the household. Her household is so large that it is already overstuffed. That is where I first started giving major makeovers to my Imaginary Friends made real. Although Judy has no life partner and has never been pregnant she has numerous children she's collected during her adventures including a mermaid (clone of Triton King) and two plant sims (Judy picked in Isla Paradiso) and a plant sim Judy planted when the plant sims first came into the game. And she cloned herself in that same game from years ago. And there is all of their imaginary friends made real. I knew I was forgetting someone, Judy also cloned one of the Sims from France and that's how she got Donna Dutiel who is currently a child.
I do like colourful characters in my games. I spent years playing with households of 8 unrelated sims. I just made a new group of 8 sims in Create a Household whenever I wanted a new game. I would put them in a big house with lots of stuff in it and watch them. I usually kept them home but some went out to work and sometimes they'd go somewhere to take a class. Klaus and Josephine were made for this type of household. Most of the 'old' sims I have as townies are from these groups of 8 unrelated sims. I'd mostly just direct them towards skills but left everything else up to them. I found it hilarious to see what they got up to sometimes.
EDIT: Josephine doesn't have the evil trait so that isn't what made her so combative. The only one in Isla Paradiso series with the evil trait is Meryl and she never gets into fights.
https://i.postimg.cc/63YmdQP7/Meryl001.jpg
She is constantly autonomously going into town to try to find out if various townies are rich and if they are she tries to seduce them as she wants to see the ghost of her wealthy spouse. So far she's had no luck. - DIVADI52New Spectator
@Karritz wow that sounds really interesting, and also I am glad to hear all is going well with cleaning out the backpacks! I do that too, it seems to help the game run better on my laptop, the only sims I let keep some of their stuff are the snobs, because they love to brag about their possessions! :D
So this Klaus guy, wow he went off on his own and won you an award! hahaha that is so cool!
Is he also mean spirited? I never had an evil sim try to beat up someone, they just mostly rub their hands together evilly and sometimes try to steal candy from babies, mine are kind of wimpy! lol
I can't wait to see what you decide in the video!
PS Lucy is adorable! - karritzSeasoned RookieUpdate.
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.
https://i.postimg.cc/14xnyh6c/TheGrill.jpg
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.
https://i.postimg.cc/90ww3F4Q/Klaus-Warner.jpg
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
https://i.postimg.cc/jjGDFykR/Lucy-Holden-IFmade-Real.jpg
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.
