Thirty Grandchildren Badge Attempt - ongoing so it now has its own playlist

@lanlyn thank you. I was finding this pair a bit slow and suddenly thought of that Carnival on the Water park because I built it on the lot I placed it on in Isla Paradiso. There are a lot of other things that can be done on it but I thought Dolores and Daryl did enough there. I will have them engaged and back home in the next video. I'm planning a family wedding for them in Cake Island before moving them to their own home. I still have to find a house for them. There are a few empty houses left but they are getting smaller.

@Karritz I enjoyed the video about Delores and Daryl, episode 33. Awesome amusement park! Fun to see Delores on the gyroscopic. I didn't use it very often, so didn't know about all the different options. I always loved that carousel. Great diving scenes. Isla Paradiso is a beautiful world. That roller coaster is amazing. :)

30 Grandchildren Badge Attempt Part 33 is now available for viewing on YouTube.

Delores and Daryl are enjoying their vacation. They visit two roller coasters in this episode and ride them both. Delores does two keg stands with the able assistance of Daryl - sort of able assistance of Daryl. In spite of a few mishaps along the way they are growing accustomed to each other and flirting and some romancing has begun. There was too much going on to squeeze it all in this episode so expect their vacation to continue into the beginning of the next episode.

In this episode, apart from riding roller coasters, doing keg stands and riding a carousel they go scuba diving and explore two dive lots and meet a mermaid. They met Maya Ocean in episode 32 and in this next episode they met Mia Azul.

I hope you enjoy the video.

@Karritz lovely watcing your newest video!

I LOVE seeing them standing there with toddlers and doing their animations!!!

What aa beautiful house!

I like the house boat and of course their lovely surroundings!

Oh I like that eating together mod as well!

haha I love the twizzy too!

It is really cute how Derek loves splashing in the water!

Cute bowling alley venue you made! It's really fun to see them bowl in video!

That was nice there with the calypso music in the back ground!

It such a nice vacation with so many fun things to do! Now diving in that gorgeous water!

I hope they get closer as they continue their vacation! I know in my heart it will work out! <3

30 Grandchildren Badge Attempt Episode 32 is now available on YouTube.

https://youtu.be/9AYq3woQVCQ

In this episode we will get an update on all of the married couples in the 30 Grandchildren main family. Then we have a tour of the new house Wilfred and Wendy have moved into after they return from The Great Southern Land where they were married in Episode 31.

Derek and Delores leave for their vacation in Isla Paradiso and choose to live on a luxury houseboat while on vacation. Their fist day in Isla Paradiso begins with Derek cooking them a hearty breakfast which they eat together then they decide on what to do that day. We join them as they visit the beach then a bowling alley and finally go scuba diving where they meet a mermaid, Maya Ocean.

I hope you will enjoy the video. It runs for approximately 31 minutes.

Happy Simming

@DivaDoodle I've noticed the seasons in the world they visit are not necessarily the same as the world they live in. The game remembers what season it was last time sims visited and the season just continues from there. It is Summer in Isla Paradiso at the moment.

It is nice to see a pic of Louise. She does seem to keep up to date with whatever's going on around her. Maybe she's always on the lookout for someone to flirt with. In my original game she could make one of the Paparazzi run away by just walking towards him. Unfortunately a new paparazzi would show up to take his place after a few minutes.

I was just reading through your Watcher Watches thread. But I need to shut down now. It's almost 1:30 am. Need to get some sleep.

Happy Simming

@Karritz I love that about the simmies, we never know what they will do next! :smiley:


Oh my, I would go crazy if after 8 days they didn't want to marry! But already being friends is a great start, so I think it will happen, sending them off together, is just such a brilliant plan! I also think slow dancing together brings them closer in bonding!


I love the bowling lot!

I find my sims will always like swimming if it is summer, but I don't know if that will effect the seasons back home or not.

Paradisio is just so beautiful, I adore the water there in your pics!!!

Glad you fixed Maya Ocean! :)


I am playing a new family and just saw Louise walk by their house, Somehow Louise already knew this new household (well she IS amazing! But I didn't know she had that power!)

I got this pic, LOL Louise!!!! <3

@DivaDoodle thank you. When you said you were going to watch it on your Big TV I wondered if your husband would watch too. Thanks to him, and you, for subscribing.

I wish I could move like that too. And get up and down from those counters. I thought the second party was more fun to watch than the first. You never know with sims what they are going to get up to. I didn't tell them to dance on the counters. I just watched and waited to see what would happen.

I'm almost sad to say goodbye to that lot but it won't be for much longer. The series has to move on. I have people waiting for me to get back to work on a few other series and I want to get this one finished before I do. So the bridal couple are now settled into their own home in Cake Island II.

My voice isn't going so well at the moment. I haven't done any singing at all for over a year now. I really need to get back to it. I can't get to choir practice while my son needs my car to get to work as his shifts are all over the place. 24hrs 7days a week. They just tell him when he's needed. So I am stuck at home.

I've started on the next video. I've got Delores and Derek in Isla Paradiso. I added a new venue to IP world. I've added it to the Great Southern Land too. It is one I made fairly recently for the Caroline and Friends series. It was originally made in Isla Paradiso so I have put it back onto its original lot.

It's been a bit hard going at first and I am at a bit of a loss to start with but I think they are warming to each other. They should as they have a few traits in common. They have 8 days to decide if they want to stay together or not.

Not much of Daryl's personality is coming out yet but I'm sure it'll happen.

They are sleeping at the moment. I'll probably get back to them tomorrow. At least I've got them to move from barely acquaintenances to being friends.

Here are a few Pictures of what they've been up to so far.

They are in a huge luxury houseboat. It has 2 bedrooms. I've not had sims in this one before so it's new to me.

Here is Daryl climbing between decks.

Daryl was awake first so he prepared breakfast of waffles. I think he has a fairly good cooking skill and the waffles seemed to turn out well. Here are Daryl and Delores eating their breakfast.

They went to the beach after breakfast and I wanted them to swim but they don't seem to like swimming.

After they'd had a swim I told them to go the the new venue I just placed. It is a bowling alley. The locals started turning up soon after Daryl and Delores arrived. I find it is always popular and lively when I send sims to it. I was planning to use it in the Great Southern Land soon. I already placed it in the world but haven't sent any sims to it yet.

Then I told them to go snorkelling. I want them to dive but the need to get to level 2 scuba diving skill first. So they need to snorkel first. They didn't really want to do this either. Shades of when Alecia and Dennis went diving on their vacation. Alecia left Dennis down there and went home. That's what Daryl did to Delores. Maya Ocean turned up and I wanted Daryl to talk to her but he shot straight to the surface and went home to read something on his tablet. But Delores was happy to chat.

Maya Ocean had no scales or mermaid tail so I fixed that. I think I recorded how I did it so if it looks OK will leave it in the video. I do have a tutorial specifically about fixing that problem. It is quite popular.

Thanks for your support and feedback.

Happy Simming

@Karritz we watched that night on the big TV! I was on my hubby's account and we liked it and he subscribed!

I Just LOVED all the dancing on the table tops! gosh I wish I could move like That! LOL

the sound was terrible because of our hideous sound bar that came with the TV, but once I put in ear buds it was perfect as usual!!! and I so love your voice!!!

Great Update!!!

@Karritz Oh the pictures are wonderful! I will watch it tomorrow on the big TV!

The parties look really FUN!


I had a good time with the unstable trait, but I think it will be best if the unstable part can get changed! LOL :D
