When in doubt, rotate

Okay first, I don't always use this section but I know it is just being kind not to interrupt someone else's story but on this thread, if you're rotating and just want to dump pictures and tell us about it go for it. I would say we'll be fair about pictures at least use spoilers or add them in later if you have a ton. I would say more than 11 unless breaking it up in more than a post, I just don't fit into a lot of really busy categories and I wasn't sure if I could use my old rotating save it was cut for awhile, necroposting and all.

Mmkay that aside.

Now these are the Hearts, Gigi and her father Gio, he is visiting not just as a stay over but moved right in to see how things were going. He was playing friendly and it took all he had not to construct a pool wrapped up in a wall when he heard the horrible news. The supposed professional he hired to watch his daughter had fallen for her and now he was a grandfather, one that had to actually promise to behave. She had always been kept in another house far from work so she didn't know all the ins and outs of how he made money but he was The Boss for a reason, she wasn't dim, as much as it seemed otherwise.

"Please dad, he's good to me, isn't that what you always wanted?" he scoffed, he wouldn't answer, it was never that simple.
https://i.imgur.com/rv7d7Fll.png
He brought along his bodyguard Vincent who was trying to play cold and heartless (ha) but as much as he tried to keep it at disbelief, going after the boss's daughter and all he couldn't help but be jealous. He didn't think there was a chance in the world above the man would ever notice him and he didn't have the courage to go after him in the same way. Naturally, his affection wasn't for the other guard more his 'station' so to speak.

"You know it isn't going to be simple you can't just play happy family man now."

"Pfft, he won't touch me, not with my angels around, besides I was told to keep her safe which I did."

Vincent shot him another dirty look, knowing he was right he knew Gio would play big bad but if she wasn't in danger Gigi was his pride and joy and now the family was moving on he always had a different mood around his family. Not that he'd seen it much just being staff but he knew there was reason Gigi was still close to her father being the way she was and the way he did business.

https://i.imgur.com/H7GkKZ5l.png
He knew when to play soft if he was with the right person.
https://i.imgur.com/uIkxUQGl.png
He could have brought a bed but went with a sleeping bag to keep Vincent close to the door, he always kept a gaurd at the bedroom door even with a team watching the elevator or really any other entrance at all times. It was good to be cautious but with everyone else.
https://i.imgur.com/Ku9ADkkl.png
Gigi woke up fairly early to the sound of Vincent cooking, she didn't know much about him, she had known him in the general sense quite some time just because he was young didn't mean he didn't earn his place in her father's eye. Though he had always forbidden her from being too close, it had been a fight to get out of his house without a guard and this is what happens, she chuckled wondering if he thought Vincent was her type, or that she was his.

"Maybe he had a point, but don't ever tell him that sweetie." she had the family she wanted and it could only get bigger no matter what he thought.

At least he was being nice, by simply ignoring his would-be son-in-law.

She only cooed in response, not really caring about any of them, they weren't mommy after all.

https://i.imgur.com/n4uLNl2l.png
You could almost imagine they were a normal little family.
https://i.imgur.com/yqRc9O5l.png
Though there is always a reminder it isn't.

"I saw you with my granddaughter, remember these girls are my family you're the help, stay that way."

He only nodded.

"I'm sorry sir I thought you wanted me to help."

"Don't assume you're a fine worker beyond that, well, watch yourself."

"Yes sir."

Mmkay mostly it is generally light but a little intro I have more.

    Okay so arrived and I saw it was a lot busier than I was expecting which is always nice.
    https://i.imgur.com/KqHbJscl.png
    I let them get some food and take their photos, Jessica voted for them for prom royalty.
    https://i.imgur.com/XmVxb8rl.png
    They briefly spoke to the other students then clung to their sister's side maybe cause their close? I don't know but I found it cute I added them on a saturday I think so they hadn't even started school yet.
    https://i.imgur.com/lQ5FgLfl.png
    She worked them out of their shy state the rest of the way because she wanted them to have a good time.
    https://i.imgur.com/lcxajJ5l.png
    Funny enough I didn't see anyone vote most the other students were eating or hanging out as if they didn't care who won so maybe that's why they were both selected.
    https://i.imgur.com/VuQFGvHl.png
    Sam hurried off the stage to show off his crown to his sister were his much more relaxed twin seemed ready to give a speech out of his bubble. Lol (Yes I ignore the nonsense hat they are both royalty :p )
    https://i.imgur.com/dzVOxUIl.png
    Anyways, they were invited to the after party and I thought these two could be paired up, last time they were in game they died at their great nephew's wedding I think it was, with the other set of twins immediately after and never had their own lives. No matter how much I liked them was not good at rotating.
    https://i.imgur.com/bpseW0fl.png
    Now things are cute as I plan more for them.

    With my current rotating, and being careful with my temporary machine I have a few saves that I ended up keeping for a change in cast, who knows why that's fun now.
    https://i.imgur.com/Qp9ahYRl.png
    Anyways it was time for Kyle Kyleson and Xochitl to get married, I had been putting it off due to wanting to play in the time before work and not having time normally. Her daughter couldn't help getting a little emotional she isn't completely attached to Kyle but she is fond of him and he might just be an okay dad.
    https://i.imgur.com/hqt7IEPl.png
    Yeah that's my Kyle, our resident freeloader who cleans up real nice when he feels the need, I made a few edits here and there and all seemed to be going smoothly though I realized about here what I did wrong. The family lives together so I could just call them but they weren't actually guests I had to dress them and whatnot, that aside it works.

    Anyhoo.
    https://i.imgur.com/j5EjQR6l.png
    Almost immediately Kyle crashed into her life just like he did when he was couch surfing, now he had developed a loyal and cheerful trait since being with Xochitl. Though he wasn't aware of her brief romance with Christopher and that only one of their two boys was a science baby. An offer from a kind friend, she would just tuck that info into her pocket and never speak of it again.

    That's not to say she doesn't love Kyle but after seeing how little Christopher wanted from their "future" it was possible she could have chosen anyone.

    Yeah...she'll keep that to herself too.

    After cake I let them have their first dance and for once they stayed where I put them and didn't run outside, maybe the dip in the floor had something to do with that.
    https://i.imgur.com/PeXxS08l.png
    https://i.imgur.com/7v7JNLNl.png
    they actually danced for a good bit too and he is just over the moon over their first dance (yes there is a sentiment) she didn't get it but she is happy to be a newlywed.
    https://i.imgur.com/wIQ3OUwl.png
    I think they are dreaming of dropping off their family and going on a little honeymoon.
    https://i.imgur.com/iFKDe8rl.png
    Wish granted, she is already thinking after a long peaceful wedding and a honeymoon here maybe they ought to move. Kyle would surely do anything for his new wife.

    The next family outing figured I would play the Ito's, sometimes it is fun just to do what would be local.
    https://i.imgur.com/Na85chYl.png
    She really adores her big brother and they planned to enjoy themselves, I remembered they got to make a wish here snacking on whatever they wanted because their parents would do just about anything for them so long as they remained well behaved.

    In all the fun and games he had to stop and side-eye his little sister she was trying to snap pictures while he caught on fire from failing the fire dance, still adoring.
    https://i.imgur.com/tilDl8al.png
    They got home fairly late and Jessica called soon after to invite him over before prom, since they went to her house he at least met her parents but they don't need anymore kids in their home ha.

    not much to say because I was just enjoying what they were enjoying heh.

    Both Megumi and Naoki pulled themselves in, tired, in need of food and the bathroom but seeing their children were both working hard on homework so they picked a kid to help. The family has grown closer as Naoki made an effort to chill out, (that is I took away a trait).
    https://i.imgur.com/qgNLVGsl.png
    Even a hug is nicer, even though....they also need the bathroom here.
    https://i.imgur.com/5XohiObl.png
    They tried to hang in while Kiyoshi finished his homework but I think he was glad to be alone having a moodswing that both parents tried to help him through but it's not the time yet I guess.
    https://i.imgur.com/AgEwFXll.png
    Everyday Nanami gets a little closer to being a teen, with all the heavy rotation, Naoki is being forced to realize he missed too much of her youth being difficult and he is going to miss this. (me too, too cute, devs I need this hug all the time!)
    https://i.imgur.com/PTTeswil.png
    One by one they left the house though Megumi soon came back to have the baby, Kiyoshi invited Tom over and I found the hotpot is only working on the kotatsu. Anyhow of course Megumi was glad to meet one of his friends she worried about him being alone all the time since they gathered at the Howard residence for prom she didn't know he had any friends. Which sounds mean but it is just fact.
    https://i.imgur.com/ZptC0WQl.png
    They had a nice dinner and Nanami was going to go play while waiting for it to cook but I called her back and she of course had to be closer to Tom, everyone likes Tom. He seemed happy to be having dinner somewhere else, you know where he can get seconds. He loves his family and will follow a few of them around but he just had a sweet little smile the whole visit.
    https://i.imgur.com/BJ4uSUxl.png
    Now their last kid because I need to have other families have more kids and of course second gen and all that, I named her Tohru, Naoki tried his best to fight his son for his new daughter but he was just glad to see he was there taking care of her.
    https://i.imgur.com/qWpq1lyl.png
    It was time to tuck in Nanami anyhow, yeh he was going to miss this.

    So back to the Kyleson save, first with Eric dead Alice tried to hang on to the new house in Henford-on-Bagley but couldn't really deal with it. Considering Eric admitted he had been coming on to one of their stay-over guests, her father. He didn't say how far it went but the idea was burned into her mind. She decided they might as well get a big change and she took her daughter to Sulani. Feeling no connection Olivia didn't mind, it was nice to be so close to the beach. While her cat contemplated waking her up and giving her a hairball or something equally terrible she slept mostly peacefully.

    Though she was thinking of her obsessive crush formed on Wolfgang and moved on to trying to convince her mother to let him visit.
    https://i.imgur.com/xkfas49l.png
    It was the weekend and Olivia normally worked really hard on her schoolwork so mom wasn't hard to convince, he showed up while she was at school with the ride into town.
    "Thanks for letting me stay...er...Ms. Alice." he said not sure which last name she kept she was just grateful he didn't address as mrs anything.

    "Of course, Wolfgang, Livvy will be so excited our guest room is off the kitchen, make yourself at home."

    He thanked her again and quickly did as he was told, he wasn't much for behaving but a break from his house, here with Olivia? He was absolutely going to be the best his mother never saw.
    https://i.imgur.com/oRnl0xfl.png
    I know it's just a glitch but when Alice went to bed they couldn't wait to go out and see the beach, especially Wolfgang, not that Olivia minded. When she got home she remained tongue tied remembering she hadn't even asked him out yet. Though he was all for it.
    https://i.imgur.com/f0dnwNml.png
    Their puppy love is precious, he rather likes being wooed...as his mother would say.

    He almost misses her.

    Almost.

    A very tiny amount.
    https://i.imgur.com/bgtvS3Fl.png
    I touched up the bar that is near their house, this happened within the rest of the post but I kept it together they don't know each other, Alice was sure they were probably fine at home but figured since she was allowing the weekend visit they could handle hanging out with her one day.
    https://i.imgur.com/iKBI9rCl.png
    They went to the new restaurant I threw together, Wolfgang wasn't hungry but they enjoyed their meal and dessert and for once I didn't have to reset the chef she was ready to cook when they got there. She was not amused he was so obsessed over homework, she did not want her mom interrupting them for study time if she saw another willing student. He ate Alice's sushi at home leaving them with more time to hang out at the beach, he was already dreading going home.

    Normally I don't have a dinner or presents on checking day, which is a chance for other families to maybe meet santa as if he is his own elf on the shelf and have a little extra family time. Though I let them have it as I age up adopted kids differently so it would be time for Stella to go to college, didn't want her left out. As much as she hated being pulled from her bed it was nice to celebrate with the family.
    https://i.imgur.com/XWDZRIHl.png
    Aside from finding more than one can open a gift at a time if your sim is distracted you can just have them open a present to join back in pretty much, I let them sing and do whatever without watching too closely.
    https://i.imgur.com/YiIwYqjl.png
    https://i.imgur.com/qwA1uOBl.png
    Never the less it is time.
    https://i.imgur.com/YqO3YUJl.png
    She ended up going over to jeb's while I was aging him up too, and she was surprised but happy to see he would go to school with her and without his beloved bag.

    I can't wait.

    I noticed that Orion had aged up so I popped in to check on them, since they are half siblings to Xochitl's science babies, they don't come to family functions with their father appearing to have cut off his baby mama. Still they are good kids all the same, Atlas aging up was sort of sad as he always had a best hug for his father now he's too big. I realize these kids are all he has may have to get him a girlfriend.
    https://i.imgur.com/Tbo687ql.png
    Now back to the Kylesons, Stella and Jeb have moved to university, had an issue with their bleh roommates trying to go in their room after I locked it which is frustrating because it seemed like it was bugged and they were being summoned there. So I tried to kill one with the rabbit cheat but it wouldn't focus on the selected headache and killed Jeb. It is rare I change what happens in the game but as I was annoyed I closed without saving and put them in a cheap house on campus instead and will probably be deleting a lot of randos in the household, cause no. Anyhow of course they couldn't really be there for New years but with more kids aging up didn't want to miss altogether.
    https://i.imgur.com/zYRk63Jl.png
    Trinity just loves big brother Ryan, something about growing together it is different watching your kids grow up. That is, if you're like me he loves her all the same. I used to lock the tots in their rooms because they would get stuck mostly from being too slow and the fake teleporting issues like they were resetting but now they are fine so I'll let them chase whomever they want. Up and down the stairs who cares.
    https://i.imgur.com/vowlgTXl.png
    The television is not broken I just timed it between animations, Karmine aged up as well and it was prom so I took her and she got home in time for the countdown and fireworks with the family.
    https://i.imgur.com/rsee25ll.png
    Xochitl almost seems to be remembering when he was just a baby, these heavy rotations really make the passing of time different. Anyhow they had a good time and of course it will be spring so almost a full sim year I think I started this save in Summer. I used to play on long with long seasons but it is nice to watch the year go by and of course have sims live more of their life in a way. Read, I love them and they must be raised hehe.
    https://i.imgur.com/VcqNKOll.png
    I caught Trinity going for her brother she was talking to him from there and decided to come all the way down and no he's not stuck there either. Anyhow he misses Stella even though she's technically his aunt she ended up being more another daughter to them and of course his big sister, they'll have to visit when the term ends. I did all their major homework before moving around, presentations and term papers just in case.

    Now added a new house to rotation, I don't really play them that much but of course with kids and such aging many elders that are in a new clean save are dying. i noticed her grandmother already died and was culled from her husband's memory but their granddaughter remembered her. I aged her up, yeah I know teens are supposed to be able to live alone but just in case that ended bugged, anyhow I grabbed a picture with him since of course she didn't have any with grandma. she made a cake while he napped and they shared a piece few sim minutes later he was gone.
    https://i.imgur.com/ejsZ4Bql.png
    Feeling more alone than ever she didn't want to be in the house I just let her wander, though the game decided to take pity and her dead grandmother called to invite her out to eat, I would have assumed she had completely passed on. Couldn't find her grave.
    https://i.imgur.com/utJxEIbl.png
    She was glad to eat but it cheered her up to be able to get a picture with Sachiko and be out and about.

    "We'll be gone completely from this world before you know it."

    She sighed.

    "Grandma I don't want to think about that.."

    "I know little one, but it is the way of life, I want you to think of what you want...and go for it. We'll be okay, and we'll always love you."

    She cried a touch but stopped completely as that was all she felt she'd been doing.

    "I love you guys too.."
    one more hug...and grandma haunting the host stand and it was getting late. Rather than go home she went to a motel in San M.
    https://i.imgur.com/XasGkxjl.png
    After a long nap and a night of crying she pulled herself out of her room to get a quick 3 am snack wondering how much she hallucinated and went to get a makeover. Just a typical right of passage for the average sim, in my worlds anyhow, though it felt like she was saying goodbye to more.
    https://i.imgur.com/sN3wDUWl.png
    Spring is a time for new beginnings, she decided what she wanted was to stay far from Mt. Komorebi, at least for now and went looking for someone, anyone that needed a roommate. She found one easily enough he wasn't too picky as he wanted to move too. Hopefully it would be worth it.

    mmkay I know i was updating today already but I had more pics so yeah....I mean not updating again after this today but a few more pics.
    https://i.imgur.com/dhlGvuol.png
    So it was before they were graded near the end of the first term and I had Jeb take Stella out, he really is too pretty, he had been coloring on the placemat while she was in the bathroom and was quick to put it away.

    She giggled.

    "You could have finished."

    "I'd rather focus on you."
    https://i.imgur.com/YoZWVGOl.png
    I updated this Maxis restaurant a lot now I just leave it like this and I swear I never even thought about how much the front door would perfectly hit this table. Anyhow while they were peacefully enjoying their meal I noticed his family came in, maybe they were having some family time as his grandmother also died recently. They looked at him but surprisingly did not speak to him and you know how sims love to do that in restaurants. About here was where he seemed to really notice them though he was still focused on his conversation with Stella, he got the enjoying time by my family moodlet or whatever it says though he didn't get up to talk to them and they were still ignoring him.

    Stella kept him distracted but she found it strange there was no way they would get away from her family if they were out and about, it didn't seem to bother him. It made her think of his dedication to his bag.
    https://i.imgur.com/XWAhFlMl.png
    They finished up and without issue Caleb cleared the table so I had her order dessert while he was in the bathroom, and I was surprised he dropped food I feel like I've had my sim's food get ruined but not the NPCs I'm watching. Which embarrassed him and he had a minor issue cleaning up after dessert but he corrected that. Anyhow his family left, and they did look at him but he didn't bother with them, I feel like they may be a little miffed he wasn't there for the family but I think that is their fault he didn't t know when she died but they had to worry about their futures all the same.

    I took them home right after.
    https://i.imgur.com/uxPug0ll.png
    Maybe it was guilt but Jeb woke up fairly early sick from food poisoning and had to threaten them to get his money back people almost never get that I thought it was taken out lol. They gave him back his money.

    https://i.imgur.com/TK1MlZol.png
    Stella pulled herself out of bed to comfort him.

    "Next time wake me up."

    He only mumbled in response.

    They got all A+s and could move on to the next term.
    https://i.imgur.com/ipGgDwCl.png
    I went back home and prepared the family for moving, Xochitl has wanted to move to Tartosa since the honeymoon, which feels soooo much farther away now. I blame growing together it is effecting my sims and I like them even more now ha, anyhow it is cute how close the family is, they are done with babies the next additions will be whatever kids Stella and Jeb have.

    So they are almost done with their second term I think just a final exam left for both and figured they could go visit, the way I play university with them I will do homework or at least the presentations and term papers on speed three and move after that or do rotating on the weekends they do fine that way. Anyhow it was nice to see the family, Stella has been so angry and upset about questioning her purpose in life, she really wants to get married to Jeb but after that she's drawing a blank.

    Nothing like a hug from dad to make it better.
    https://i.imgur.com/ihuZQJwl.png
    She misses the old house but she seemed fairly over joyed just seeing how everyone was doing in Tartosa, she didn't feel so overwhelmed of course they were happy to see Jeb too. Karmine watched him play with the youngest family group. I made sure to cheat the always welcome and added the mod to stop random flirting so they could just be a family, worked out nicely.
    https://i.imgur.com/xxwIi6Gl.png
    Jeb finished the grilled cheese that was left on the stove....for who knows why and Ryan happily followed him around the house after this pic anyways. They thought about visiting his family but he couldn't deal with them and they went out on a date instead.
    https://i.imgur.com/DCGR05ml.png
    https://i.imgur.com/3rBP0ivl.png
    They rode on a few rides but they were exhausted from their school schedule and kept passing out so I took them home but they were at least peaceful.

    I love when it's chill.
