Thanks for the input, Rose.  One of my first Sim friends, Simslover163​ who is also a Facebook friend likes the idea, too so that's what I'm going to do.  I'll move after my next visits in my game rotations and make sure I save their house and household as they are now so it will be more like a continuation of their story but in the new save, 

It would be  kind of like a parallel universe of sorts.  I hope to put most of them in the same worlds that they are now in unless any overlap then the household would go into a different world  fit my not-set-in-stone, one household per world.   I think the Sims 4 scenario, 'Aliens  Stole  My  Parents  would  a good way to begin that game save.    Would keep the orphans in their original game saves if they were adopted my one my original households, though.

Thanks for letting me brainstorm with you.  Now it's time to finish the back story I started earlier for Eugi and Giovannia that I'm writing in the first person with Giovannia telling her story.  Guess I got my scenario household mixed up.  They were  actually  for the Surviving the Holidays scenario where two Sims start out living together as enemies but over time slowly become friends and perhaps lovers.  Hope you'll enjoy their story when I finish with it.

Have a great night!

Thanks for the comment rosemow​ , 

Krystal's mother was actually a Quarter Horse mare named Goldie.  She was one of the two horses Dad bought on my birthday from a neighbor down the road in 1987.  He bought Goldie as well as the sorrel (like chestnut but more reddish) colored filly (Lacey) she had that year out of a stallion that was at the stable where I took riding lessons that year when I started to ride.  Later that year, Dad bought a two year old Quarter Horse stallion named Sandman.  Goldie was bred to him the following year and Krystal was born in Apr 1989.  Although Krystal wasn't Goldie's first foal, she was the first to be born in our barn.  Krystal was an escape artist who would frequently get out of her stall and and let the other horses loose.  One of those horses was our Arabian stallion, Clippy shortly after she turned and you guessed it, she gave birth to her first foal the following year in 1992 about two weeks before turning three.  At the same time she got pregnant, Clippy also bred Lacey who also had a colt that year.  Things could get quite hectic in the barn when the horses got loose thanks to Krystal although almost all of our horses at the time learned to be escape artists.

The basement is lovely! 🙂 Very nice warm brown room colour and the plants are very nice. The furnishing is lovely. It is a nice place to workout on the treadmill,enjoy playing the pipe organ and use the other machines.
They are lovely photos of the sims that you have in your game 🙂It is special that you created Krystal in memory of the first foal that your parents’ horse had ❤️

It sounds like a good idea for them to have a separate save game, corresponding to their thread 🙂  You could then follow along with how their sims lives are progressing in that particular save and it relates to that thread.

Hello Again,

Last night I was able to decorate most of the open area in Eugi & Giovannia's basement.  After Giovannia accepted a job offer in the Athletic career at level 4, I decided give her some place to workout downstairs and then ended up decorating the whole room accept for an area in the hallway where I may put a dollhouse or another desk during other visits.

Below are some candid pictures of some of the other households I play in Silverford Valley.  

Meet Krystal Sand who I created in memory of the first foal that was born on my parents' horse far  awhile a teenager in 1989.  The foal was a filly out of a Quarter Horse mare that my father bought for me for on my birthday in 1987 the first year we had horses. I named pretty filly,  Krystal Valley Sand.  Krystal was a palomino filly sired by a palomino stallion, Sandman whom my father had also  purchased in 1987 as a two year old.  When I made the Sim version of Krystal, I kept her blonde (flaxen in horse language) hair and golden looking skin.  You will meet her next time I'm playing that game save.  Krystal lives on a ranch in Chestnut Ridge with her two adopted horses and a dog that she got while I was visiting Eugi & Giovannia according to the 'Neighborhood Stories' news.

The sim the left is one of the Orphan Guerra teenagers who had been adopted by a Sim in my main game save and had passed away of old age before one of them had become a young adult.  Since Valley Ventures is mostly full with only one world left to put a household, Tartosa, I decided to put them my Silverford Valley save.  I'm saving Tartosa for next teen Sim from one of my households there, for when he or she graduates university which I'm thinking will be Maxwell Lorford's triplet sisters if one of them gets a degree.

Above are Jana Stoner who lives with her husband and children in Del Sol Valley after having their 'Beach House' from a previous game save moved from Sulani to the empty lot across from the Jeong house.  Updating the house to include the infant cribs and other changes that happened in the game during my absence from playing for two years, those changes ended up being an almost full renovation.  That's usually what happens when playing Sims, I guess.

The other Sim is Braydon Belanger who was from my former 'Alphabet Sim' series from Covid days.  This is where I created Sims using every letter of the alphabet and building a corresponding letter shaped house for them and giving them traits and/or aspirations that began with the letter of their name.   For example:  Braydon's aspiration is Big Happy Family and he has the bookworm & bro traits.  Since those were the only two B traits at the time, I gave him 'kleptomaniac' trait since he likes to borrow things without asking.  Since there are more 'B' traits now than then, I probably could find enough for a B Sim if I were to create another Alphabet Sim game save today.  I also built their houses in the shapes of their letters.  Braydon's house is in shape of a lower case 'b'.  Many of my Alphabet houses can be found in my gallery.  Will share Braydon's family's story in my next visit.  Since most adopted children come with their own name and babies are named by the game, they don't necessarily begin with the same letter unless they are created in CAS.

That's all for now!

Hello rosemow​ and everyone!

Hope you're all having a Splendid Sim Saturday,

Just a question about an idea that has been going around in my mind since my Orphan Sims stories was highlighted this week.  I was thinking of moving them all to a separate game save called Valley Orphans to go with their corresponding thread.  That way each of my games have their own thread and it would also free up some space in my main game save for the grown children in that save to have their own homes after graduation or am I overthinking things?

Thanks rosemow​ ! 😊 The pool house is decked out with a dinning table, small kitchenette and nectar making/tasting area. 🍇🍷

Thanks SilverJanSims​ and nice to meet you too! 😊 This lot is one of my fav's in Chestnut Ridge, it has so much space to play with and I love that there is already a little horse training area set up opposite the lot. 

Nice to meet you, simmemoirs​  The ranch looks wonderful!  Horses will feel like they are living in luxury much like many of the big Arabian horse farms in US.   I have a ranch on that lot as well in both of my game saves.  Will share pictures of them next time I visit (play) the households living there. 

Have fun as you continue working on your ranch and many Happy Trails to the sims who will have the joy of living on a ranch!

Giovianna’s bedroom is lovely! 🙂 The stained glass canopy bed is pretty and very nice corner study desk nook. The design of Eugi’s living areas is very nice. The furnishing is lovely and pretty stained glass windows. Very nice wall pattern in the bedroom.
