@Kiwicantdie - Yeah, doing kindergarten this way is definitely not ideal. :disappointed: I mean kindergarten is all about socializing and hands on activities, and with this digital format he's missing out on SO much. At the end of the 1st semester (in 8 weeks) we have the option to change back to traditional classes. I'm really hoping things with the virus will have improved and we can send him in person. Thank you for your virtual hugs :heart: I know they traveled a long way to get here so it's appreciated :wink: Enjoy your family time this weekend! I look forward to your post on Monday. I'm gonna hold you to it :lol:
@Wentcrazy - Aw, look at Iris and Aiyden :heart: Iris looked so optimistic about the new house and fixing up the town. While Aiyden looked like he could cry :lol: Poor guy, at least Iris was there to assure him things would be okay. Your house looks great. You should definitely be proud of yourself! I really like the backyard with the basketball hoop over the garage. So I was happy to see Aiyden playing basketball in your 2nd update :smile: omg I don't blame Aiyden for being upset with the way the movers left the house. Iris handled it though. I'm glad she was able to get a job, and starting the garden will definitely help to make their house feel more like a home. I love how Aiyden cooked Iris dinner to tell her the news about his job :heart: I really like the way you decorated their kitchen and dining room. Their bedroom looks great too, and of course it's nice to see Iris and Aiyden getting along so well :wink:
@OJenn - Thank you :heart: I'm doing better today. That fully grown beard really suits Aiyden. He had just grown it in my game and then of course he was eaten :bawling: Jade is such a pretty sim, her glasses look really great on her. And awww Flash! I wanted to call him Bolt. He reminds me of the dog from that Disney movie with Miley Cyrus and John Travolta lol. The pool seems to be popular. Aiyden's angry swimming is the best :lol: and he is the least subtle sim lol I think the kids are gonna be fabricators whether they want to be or not. Though Jade does seem to be showing some interest. Atlas is too busy with his sick dance moves to care lol. I think that random townie may have unlocked the secret to keeping Aiyden happy! Make all the de-stress drinks! Love his cozy sweater too btw.
@IllusoryThrall - Yessss! 1st update time! I really feel for Iris and Aiyden arriving in town and then pretty much coughing non stop. I really can't even blame Aiyden for his terrible attitude about it all :lol: I like that your Greene's are just roommates (for the time being?). They're relationship is indeed a rocky one. Especially with the added pressure of moving into a new home that neither particularly love... yet. I side with Iris a bit on thinking Aiyden's freelancing is taking a bit of the slacker approach. I think he can prove us wrong though. And I definitely see the potential of the community space being voted in as a maker space. With the new furniture Iris ordered things are looking up! I really like the walls in the kitchen. I think these two can get on the same page. I had to fight it in my game, but once you get them to really feel the love, their friendship will follow too.
@JordanNicoleJJ - Aw, were you having a bad day too? I'm sorry :heart: I hope things are better now. I don't really want to build everything myself lol though I did definitely feel like that in the past versions of this challenge. Now I'm just too lazy... but I did find after downloading your shell that I felt like a total loser/cheater/thief :lol: I didn't wanna decorate it and show it off knowing you put the most difficult part of the work in. I want you to get all the glory. I hope that makes sense? Cause when I tell you I love what you've done with that floorplan that's an understatement. I am not looking forward to showing you guys what I've built :lol: It's a mess.
You update was fantastic! Suri's outfit tour :love: Her style is so cute. I love those thigh high stockings. Plus she's just a really cute sim. She has a very innocent looking face. lol there were some characters in that new years party pic :lol: I hope the NPC mod treats you well. There was something therapeutic about the shots of Haven running in the rain. It also reminded me of the time his Mom was loving the rain in my game :blush: Suri's look in that first hot tub pic is so funny :joy: I may have been wrong about my innocent comments. I also 100% approve of the unnecessary spending on the hot tub. The hot tub romance interactions make the best pics. omg I totally knew Suri's Mom was having a midlife crisis. Good for her finding a younger guy at college :joy: Aiyden's face when he nearly drove the drone into them was so cute. I love him. omg look at how cute your community lot is! I need all of you guys to stop building such great lots. I don't wannnnnnnnnna build! :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: I'll feel a lot less guilty stealing a community lot then a house though lol. I like that you made the space have karaoke and actual things to do. Suri looked like she had fun with her family. The girl selling the candles is super cute! It's not too late! :lol: Smoggy Willow Creek was interesting to see. The steamboat pic was great. Too bad it makes for horrible exercising conditions. Lia looked happy enough though, she must've adapted. Eden's the other woman!? :flushed: Well... best of luck to her :lol: LOL Suri's children's book is perfectly named. I got your LOTR reference immediately. Plus your description of the book is great :lol: Anyway, their Valentine's day was perfect. Your Swan restaurant was the perfect setting :heart: and Suri made sure to take things up a notch when they got home :astonished: Haven's graduation pics look so good! I know you're proud of your little man :wink: lol!
@Mionax - I'm happy with Mariam being the heir, she was my 2nd choice :blush: and it's also pretty cool that she's moved out with my 1st choice lol! You nailed the generation B house! I recognized it immediately. Her greenhouse space is really cool, and the perfect place for a loner like her to hide out. It makes me happy she's a gardener like her Mom :heart: It was trusting of her brother to let her out on her own, but Mariam seems like a trustworthy teen. She looked so excited to get those celebrities autographs! The man painting graffiti may not be the best influence lol but she seems to have enjoyed herself none the less. Great Update!
