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

@lanlyn thank you. I suspect there will be lots more photos to come. Even if I have to transport everyone to an empty world and freeze everything and move them around manually, I'm sure I'll come up with some sort of group photo.

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

I'm so excited. I have had my newest married couple return to Cake Island from The Great Southern Land. I settled them into their new homes and activate the main household - the place where they all grew up. My aim is to get it down to a 1 sim household. And it now has only 6 sims living in it. I'm putting the next video together now. Coby and Sharonda went to The Great Southern Land to meet their future spouses, Clarice and Stan. They got married on the same day - almost a double wedding. And then returned to Cake Island.

Gerri will be the final sim in the main household when they start having the 30 babies who will be the 30 Grandchildren. All of her children will have married and moved out to their own homes.

Currently only Gerri, Megan, Latoya, Joni, Constance and Kendall are left. Next episode Megan and Latoya will travel together to The Great Southern Land and they will meet their future spouses there. Lionel and Mark. I will send them home again fairly quickly too as the house in The Great Southern Land is a bit too overcrowded to successfully teach the untrained sims much. I think both Mark and Lionel will need to do more study before they will be able to get married.

I got the two couples who were married in Episode 36 out of the GSL fast because of memory issues. The new Imaginary Friends who I left there barely started learning skills before I had Coby and Clarice; and Sharonda and Stan married and home again.

@Karritz Amazing that you're so close to your badge goal now. Great job! Are you going to have a family reunion so you can take generational photos? That would be awesome. :)

@lanlyn thank you. I tend to keep whatever traits the imaginary friends get by default. Occasionally I might change one or two but there has to be a special reason. One of the IFs who is in The Great Southern Land (where Episode 36 will be set) has the unstable trait and is being a bit of a problem. I'm thinking of changing one of Cameron's traits too as I think Loves the Heat might be a bit of a waste of a trait. I'll think about it.

The will-o-the wisps must be from a fog emitter I think as they are there all the time and can't be caught.

I'm trying to get this series completed asap now. The household is getting a lot more manageable now it is down to around 8 sims. I haven't played the game for it yet, but I am expecting to have two sims married in episode 36. That will leave only 5 more to go. I'll try to marry off 2 an episode. If I do manage to do that there will only need to be 3 more episodes, unless we can squeeze in 3 in one episode without spoiling the fun.

I'm thinking of trying to incorporate most, if not all, of the sims in the main household and the imaginary friends made real, into my big game. There are a few of those Imaginary Friends I'd like to play in a game at some time. They could turn up in Oscar's Teen years or some other game.

@Karritz I watched 30 Grandchildren Episode 35. Fun to see Cake Island again. Very unique world, but it has some great homes and lots. LOL at all the imaginary friends! They all look different in human form though. I love Delores and Daryl's home. The IFs who took on human forms have a variety of personal traits. I like that. The will-o-the-wisps were cool. The proposal was romantic with the wisps circling them. Lovely wedding venue. The reception room was so colorful. Beautiful. Good luck to newlyweds Demetria and Dave and all the others starting new phases of their lives!

30 Grandchildren Episode 35 is now available for you to watch on YouTube.

In this episode Demetria and Dave conduct their romance at home rather than going on vacation. They have their wedding near the end of the episode. The other main activity is the final three imaginary friends are made real. We have a look around Cake Island and visit the gym, pizza place and nectary that come with the world. As you can probably imagine, they are in Cake island so think Cake when imagining their architecture.

In the end Coby and Sharonda, accompanied by the three new imaginary friends made real, head off to The Great Southern Land where Coby will meet and marry Clarice and Sharonda will meet and marry Stan and the imaginary friends will begin learning their skills and reading books that will prepare them for live on their own in Cake Island.

We are getting close to the end of this.

Happy Simming

I hope you enjoy the video.

@Karritz RE: 30 Grandchildren Badge, episode 34. I enjoyed the "next-level" romance between Delores and Daryl. The slow dancing and music was sweet. Fun message from the Love Machine. I liked the fountain and wishing well on the lot. Awesome park. Good spot for the proposal. Amazing red and white roller coaster and fun house arcade. I liked the dive scenes with Triton and Maya. Loved the unicorn and pond. Beautiful wedding and reception. Great attendance. Cute white boots on Delores. Nice family photos too. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I'm working on the next one now. The weddings are speeding up as there are less sims to keep my busy in the main household.

30 Grandchildren Badge Attempt Episode 34 is now available for you to watch on YouTube.

This has a lot in it. It follows on from episode 33 and at the start of the episode the couple, Delores and Derek, are alighting from their roller coaster ride in The Bluewaters Fun Park. They go on to a few activities at the fun park that include a slow dance, a visit to the Love Inspector and the Wishing Well before there is a proposal. By the time their night of activities is over the sun has come up and they head off to The Carnival on the Water where they have another roller coaster rids, Daryl tries a keg stand and they use another Love Inspector. They play a few arcade games in the games room. At the end of the day, after dark, they go scuba diving where they meet up with Triton King. Next day is the final day of their vacation. Daryl goes off for a swim while Delores visits the Festival. Daryl goes scuba diving and meets another mermaid, Maya Ocean. They chat for a while before Daryl remembers Delores, and his desire to find her a special sea shell. So he says his goodbyes to Maya Ocean and heads for the beach. Maya Ocean heads for the same beach and Daryl is captivated by the beautiful mermaid. When he finally comes to his senses it's already dark and he rushes off to find Delores. On his way he spots a black unicorn and he is distracted. He decides to watch the unicorn for a while. In the meantime Delores is beside herself with worry about him. When he calls her she rushes to the Lucky Fishing spot to see this unicorn he's going on about. She decides there is no way that thing is going home with them. Then the trip is over. They return to Cake Island II. Their big wedding is the next day.

The sim's voices are featured more in this video than in previous videos in the series. I hope you enjoy watching it.

Happy Simming

@Karritz Looking forward to the wedding! I remember your family wedding celebrations are awesome. :)
