- karritz4 years agoLegend@DivaDoodle I really just want to get it done so I can move on to other video series. I found my two sisters who have gone to The Great Southern Land to meet and marry their future husbands haven't completed reading their books. I've got almost everyone in the household reading and learning things and some are trying to get a few extra lifetime happiness points. I will do the wedding today some time though. It's just gone 10 am here at the moment.
Next episode will probably see a triple wedding and then that'll be it for all the weddings. The following episode will see a sudden baby boom. Hopefully each couple will have two babies and then I think Gerri, their mother, will have to have one more for the badge to trigger. But only if I remember to log on while playing before all these babies start arriving.
I'm thinking Master Controller might be used to ensure each couple is pregnant. I don't plan to make them all instant babies. All 15 of Gerrie's babies were instant. They arrived in batches of 4 or 5 so it didn't take long. All on the same sim day. She was very surprised.

@Karritz I hope it all goes well and that you are logged on when the couples have their kids if that is what needs to be done! And of course Gerri, the super Mom and Granny!
I wonder if it must be horrible to play logged on, I imagine it can get laggy or have ads or something that makes people not want to do it very often!
I am very excited for you to get that Badge!!!
Your play isn't just play, it's an art form! Enjoy your time with your great sims! :) - karritz4 years agoLegend@DivaDoodle thanks. Well I am an artist. Have lots of watercolours and oils and drawings and things to show for it and plan to get into it more soon.
When I'm logged on it isn't too bad but can be a bit difficult at times. I don't have Origin on my computer so don't have all the problems most people have when they are logged on. My version of the game is from pre 2012 so I can play without Origin. We had something else that Origin replaced originally so that might be why. I pre-ordered my base game so I've been simming for quite a while. Started with the Original Sims and was about to move up to Sims 2 when Sims 3 was announced so I decided to wait for it.
I just hope the badge happens. It is difficult to get and may not trigger. I think I'll move on to some other series regardless if it doesn't happen. I could try again at some stage by just having a sim with maybe 5 children and age them up fast and get each of them to have 6 babies. Could do that in a few days and get a result. - karritz4 years agoLegendHello all. I didn't get lost yet. I've just finished playing the game to the point required to complete the video for the next episode.
The next episode will see Megan marry Mark and Latoya marry Lionel. I have about 3 hours worth of video to edit so it'll take me a few days to do. Hopefully the episode will be on the channel in a week or less.
Happy Simming all. - DIVADI524 years agoNew Spectator
That's great news, I'm glad to hear it's going well! :) - karritz4 years agoLegendUpdate.
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. - DIVADI524 years agoNew 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! - karritz4 years agoLegend@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. - karritz4 years agoLegendThe 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. - DIVADI524 years agoNew 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! :)
