The Ridley Residence [Chapter 5.32 - 30.07.2023]

1.22: "Why am I moving against my own will?" Kiiii Ella, just go with it :lol: Alison's play date with Antonio was kind of awkward but I'm already cheering for them to be best friends and then marry each other once they're adults! I chuckled quite a bit at Brent being an overprotective dad, d'awwww. And happy birthday, Liz, and congrats on the promotion!

1.23: I have to say, Oliver looked pretty adorable when he was yelling he needed to go potty. Such a cutie♥ I'm SCREAMING at Liz slipping in the mud, yikesssss. I laughed too hard at that and the picture of her just lying there like she was making a mud angel :lol: Poor Liz! She really didn't have a good birthday, did she? :( But hey, she's a resilient girl, that Liz. I felt Brent being awkward like, what to do when Liz was complaining, haha. And the girls doing homework together, that was adorable! Ella is so pretty. Happy birthday!

1.24: Brent looks sharp in his new cold weather outfit! And Liz, man... I wish I could have your goals, eating three Mexican dishes, yummmmm. Though, gee, I don't want your new workout regime :tongue: More birthdays! I love how Master and Pupper had their birthdays at the same time, so cute.

1.25: Congrats Liz on completing the first goal! That's awesome. I really liked Liz in this chapter. Sure, she was a bit tough when she was angry at the kids, but she's a good mom and it really shows in the last part when Ella feels timid around her and Liz clears the air. It's awesome to see that Liz is such a good mom. I'm also loving the Lighthouse story with Brent and Ninja!

1.26: Oliver's face when he says he's forgotten... I love him, slkjadlfaj such a cutie :love: I also love all the romancing couples all over the pictures, there's a lot of love in the air here~ Dine Out is a cool pack! I also use that restaurant in my game and I love all the experimental food. It's so pretty! Also, Liz looking all muscular is making me giggle. "Fat, you said? Oh honey, let me show you how wrong you are..." and BAM, she's a muscled marvel. :lol:

1.27: Awwww, I loved Oliver so much as a toddler that I'm sad to see him age up, but that's life, eh? He's a good looking kid! I like seeing how you modify the house as the family continues to live in there, it's cool to see how you change up the layout and add more rooms. And the lighthouse mystery was fun! I liked that. Interesting ending, for sure... ALSO, just a fun little tidbit, Todd from my story was auto-generated to be a waiter in that same restaurant, and then I liked him so much I made him a full character in my universe. It seems like that restaurant (Chez Llama, right?) has a thing for red-headed cuties ;)

1.28: That family picture at the beginning, aww. But also, AHHH hahaha at Liz looking so buff. I can't help but cackle. About the cabinets: I also had NO idea you could do that! That's awesome. The Ridley kitchen is looking sharp! Congrats Liz on completing the aspiration! That's one I wish I could complete myself, imagine cooking perfect quality food that never spoils... dream. Aaand, so, Ella's love story begins! Levi is a cutie, and I love that name! (I was actually going to name one of my own characters that in the future~)

1.29: :lol: at Darryl trying to get some of that pork adobo... same, Darryl, same. (Also, side note: this reminds me that I should NEVER read your story when I'm hungry, because all the food looks SO good. unghhh) Dulce is cute! Ahhh, the family is basically complete now with the future boyfriends and girlfriend now.

1.30: Oh no, Ninja running away again :( He really knows how to get us sad, doesn't he? Alison is a good kid, though, getting right on it and posting about him missing on the internet. But awww, it's a good thing he came back so soon! We can't have a full and happy family without our Ninja♥ The girls being shady toward Dulce, that wasn't cool. I hope they warm up to her because Dulce seems... sweet *badum-tssssss*. (Dulce means "sweet" in Spanish, ehehehe OK I'll see myself out.)

1.31: Brent, it's OK to like kids' programs! No shame in it :smirk: AHHHHH I see Mitchell!! You have a K&GI contestant in your presence!! He looks SO different in my game, I had forgotten how much I made him over when I included him in my story. It's cool to see his alternate-universe version here! Congrats Liz on the restaurant! That's a huge step, and it's looking so nice. I love the snow-covered neighborhood and the restaurant, it looks so cozy! And a big congrats on learning all the food stall recipes! One step closer to completing the goals!

1.32: NOOO I went right into the chapter not expecting it would get sad like that. I'm sad :cry: NINJA, I MISS YOU! You were the best doggo, I love you♥ (Not gonna lie, my eyes got a bit misty reading that part. It's crazy how attached we can get to characters like this. Good job at making us fall in love with your characters :blush: .) The painting with Ninja in it is beautiful and I love it. Happy Birthday Alison and Antonio! Hopefully they'll grow into their looks because they're not the most beautiful of Sims right now, but I think that's true of most teenage Sims, and also they look much better in the screenshot where they're talking to each other. I think the CAS screenshots are unforgiving :tongue:
