Re: Playing The Sims 1 in The Sims 4 (The Newbies - update July 31)

@belalucina Wow. This brings back memories of playing the original Sims version. I like your renditions.

@LegacySims2017 Thank you! It was a lot of fun making them. 

I hope that Bob and Betty’s careers go well 🙂

More from The Newbies.

They met some of their neighbors - Diane Pleasant and Bella Goth.

Spoiler

Betty decided to play outside to try and earn some tips, even though she wasn't that good at guitar yet. Turns out, you need to be on a public venue to get tips I think. Oh well.

Or maybe she was just really bad...




Barbara was scared off by her playing, but at least Diane stuck around. Her and Betty actually got on quite well.



Betty had to go off to work, and...Diane decided to stick around and chat with Bob. Oh dear. I guess they got on pretty well too.




Bob, stop flirting with Diane! Time to send her home. The random flirting in this game is out of hand. 

Well, in a short time, both Bob and Betty were promoted to level 3 in their careers! I think an upgrade to the house may be in order soon...




More next time! 🙂

Posting another one since I have it ready. Just trying not to make my posts too long. 🥳

Along with her music, Betty's been working on her fitness as well. 

Spoiler

Though I'm not sure texting and jogging is the best idea.



Bob's been working on cooking and logic. 



They got a new chess table for the patio so Bob could work on his logic skill.





Betty seriously hopes the new maid will be coming soon...



Thank you, Bob!



He spent too much time staring at the Tragic Clown. Princess Zhagawa? Is that you?

And Agatha...I didn't know you delivered Pizza. 😃



Well, when you have a mod that prevents townies from generating, I guess that's what happens...



Diane and Betty have become really good friends now. Thankfully, Betty didn't find out about her fliting with her husband. Hopefully that was a one time thing.



Another neighbor come to visit? Hello, Bobby Jones! Where's your parents??




Bob and Betty like kids. In fact, Bob is ready for them to have some of their own. They use the money they've been earning to add an addition to the house.





The porch is smaller now, but that's okay.



Bob decides to plant some flowers out back. They will need to save up some more money if they want to bring a little Newbie into the world.



Bob, have you discovered a new talent?? Well, that's all for now. 🙂

@belalucina I haven't done the playing for tips at all. Hopefully she really wasn't that bad and that it has to be done on a venue or public lot. 😃 Oh, can't wait for Bob and Betty to add to their family.

@LegacySims2017 I think it must need to be a public lot because usually my sims get tips even if they are terrible lol. 

It was great to read the updates. Congratulations to them on their career promotions! 🙂 The nursery is sweet. 
I think that it does have to be a public venue  or lot to get tips.

@rosemow @Ellupelluellu  Thank you, both. 🙂

Here's an update from the Newbies:

The new maid came today! Meet Brigit the maid!

Spoiler

She was in a flirty mood it seems. Bob was at work, so Betty got to meet her. Brigit cleaned very fast. Betty was impressed.




Bob and Betty have completely different schedules, so they only see each other late at night and in the morning currently. Bob has taken up painting as an after work activity.



Initially, he's not very good at it and gets a fear of failure.



Betty is doing great at work though, and comes home with another promotion!



They add on a room upstairs with some of the extra money and rearrange the kitchen a little bit. There is no picture of the room upstairs, as it is still unfinished.




The next day it storms which seems to put a damper on everyone's moods.



Even the maid.



And poor Bella!



Betty and Diane hang out and chat while their husbands are at work. They've become very good friends and Diane listens to Betty's guitar music and notices that she has improved greatly!




As Bob comes home and Betty heads to work he takes up his painting again. The rain has inspired him.





He eats dinner alone, since Betty works late.



They have a good evening together later and then share breakfast in the morning. They have to take advantage of all the moments they can get lately.



Bob does some yoga, and then heads to work...and earns another promotion! 





And...to leave you, I give you...the garden which is coming along nicely.



That's all for now! Thanks for reading. 🙂

@belalucina Last time I hired a maid, she just sat around and didn't do much except eat my food and use my electricity. 😃 Glad yours was a fast cleaner. Maybe when I hire one for my current Legacy, they are like yours. I find it funny that Bob wasn't good at painting but then get inspired and likes it later.

Congratulations to them both on their career promotions! 🙂  It is great that now Bob is enjoying doing painting. The growing plants are going great. The porch is a lovely place to enjoy playing chess outdoors near the pretty flowers.

I've been remaking the NPC's that show up to match the ones from the original Sims. So far we have Brigit the Maid who you've already seen, and...

Freddy the Pizza Dude:

(Bob just had to have a pizza on his day off...)

Repairman Bruno:

and, Gardener Gloria:

@LegacySims2017 I think it might depend on the traits the maid has. Brigit has the neat trait, so she likes to clean. 

@rosemow thank you, I had fun decorating the porch. 😊

@Ellupelluellu thank you! 😁

@belalucina Good job on the NPCs. I enjoy Sims discover they have more personality traits than what is given to them. Makes the game more fun. And I especially enjoy the Clumsy trait.

Edit: You could be right about the maid traits. Mine probably had the lazy trait. 😃

Congratulations to Bob and Betty on the upcoming birth of their baby! 🙂 

It is great that Bob now has the cheerful trait. I don’t know if Betty will though like to have the clumsy trait.
Your makeover of the NPCs are very nice. 

It was Neighborhood Brawl Day, and Bob and Betty got a surprise...

Spoiler

Twins! And both girls too. I wonder if they will be identical. 

Bob was...getting himself a snack and almost missed the ultrasound. Almost looks like he's having a baby himself. 😃



Finally...about time, Bob!



They had to add another bassinette to the nursery.



Bob and Betty can't wait to meet you, little ones.



Betty is still keeping up with her fitness; she wants the babies to be healthy too. Though, given her clumsiness, I'm surprised she picked the treadmill again. I mean...it is raining outside, so I guess that was the only option.



The next day was sunny and Neighborhood Brawl Day. Bob met some of the neighbors and got into some fights. It seemed a great way to make friends actually.



And he won all his fights too...






Betty's impressed.



Some more weekend fun:







Random townie living life on the edge:



I'm purposefully not paying their bills so the repo man shows up (I have to give him a makeover!):



Betty is not pleased. "Bob, I thought you paid the electric bill!"
Bob: "Well, I can somehow still see to read, so it's all good."



Betty got a promotion and is now in the musician branch! She'll be taking some time off now until the twins arrive. 🙂

Congratulations to them on the upcoming birth of their twins! 🙂
It is great that Bob won all his brawls on Neigbourhood Brawl Day and made friends at the same time! 

@belalucina Ooo, I was browsing mods about a week or so ago and found the exact mod I think you're using for the ultrasound. The gender reveal caught my attention, so I downloaded it. I always with MC Command Center to know what gender and how many my Sim is having. I thought that mod would be more fun with the gender reveal on my latest legacy and then share it with those following along for Generation 2 and onward.

"Bob was...getting himself a snack and almost missed the ultrasound. Almost looks like he's having a baby himself." There's a baby (not literal) in his oven. His microwave oven. 😃 Bob seems to be a fighter and lover.

Hello! Sorry it's been awhile. I have a small update. Actually a BIG update...because I'm pregnant! My husband and I are expecting our second baby in March next year. So I've been realllllyyyyyy tired. But anyways...

Betty went into labor!

Spoiler

They were hoping for a home birth, but Betty was having some complications and so they had to go into the hospital.





Things weren't going well for poor Betty.



But eventually a doctor got her into bed and taken care of and things progressed naturally from there.





Eventually two healthy girls were born. Brandi and Brenley Newbie. 

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your baby in real life! @belalucina ❤️ That is lovely! 🙂
Congratulations also to the Newbies on the birth of their twins.

@belalucina Congratulations on your newborn to be next March and to the two Betty recently conceived. 🥳
