Channel Surfing Sims 4

I bet you thought it was a complaint about that feature...lol

So in the TS3 part I have this thread and thought I'd have one for this one, but basically it's remembering how back in the day when you couldn't afford much of a package your working channels would be all over the place pretty much. It was an excuse to drop my unused or even new pics when I got too many saves and didn't want to weigh down the active ones even using spoilers. I'll be returning to some of my older ones and thought yeah let's do it again. Also before anyone asks I put it here cause anyone can use it give your post a random channel number or say My "whatever number" and let's try and keep it to like ten pics outside a spoiler if you have more than that to ease up some loading. So we can you know...spam more pics later.

My Channel 890 - my uglacy

The setting chosen for this family was short mostly to just kind of see how features work themselves out or grow worse quickly and I ended up adoring the family so yeah.

So before I get to the main issue ha...pretty much the goths are part of the gen 1 of the town, I missed Bella's passing so unless she haunts randomly like Mortimer did she's gone but I wanted to reconnect the family I wish it was a little easier to get everyone reattached like they had a drop down menu or something to get access to another sim's relationship panel. Anyways the Goths had a very normal life, Cassie moved out and married Spencer and they had a kid when there was room they moved back home and Spencer died Alex is the head of the house and he married Nalani of course not knowing the future of their baby ha.

I have to remember everyone's names lol, anyways I took a break after their Halloween party but the last one getting as much of the crew together as I could Alex got a call that Cassie also died so most of them are upset about that.
https://i.imgur.com/pVsWN7q.png
Nalani is just delighted that like her dear boy her grandson is also a mermaid, I don't know what Alex's problem is but he's giving his little sister Bonnie the evil eye there.
https://i.imgur.com/O7CwTK7.png
Next I moved him to meet his great-grandmother the head of the uglacy, Maranda and of course all his great aunts he already looks different from some of the girls that inherited more than just their shape from their mother. She had love interests in Don, Johnny, Makoa and I think one more....but those are the main ones oh yeah he died pretty early on and Johnny stepped in for a bit, she was apparently too charming Makoa tried to pretend he wasn't digging her but gave her another daughter, along with Don fairly close together....Makoa was Ellie and Don's is Fatima, Johnny had Lacey who would be gen 2 heiress. Oh I can't believe I forgot yeah I'm writing this out as I remember her main squeeze for a long long time was Knox and he has a special memorial behind the green house ugh it's been too long. when he died Johnny was still hanging on so he moved in and when he passed his ghost joined the house.
https://i.imgur.com/wECocAy.png
I had to get a pic of him with his great-aunt who was the last child before Maranda and Johnny were too old and Lydia is just a doll I had originally decided that even though her eldest sister had begun her family she would get a chance too cause I make my own rules, so they are the two youngest in the role <3
https://i.imgur.com/lbSCdTg.png
Next the extended extended family, Don has a very love hate relationship with his daughter by Maranda and she doesn't like him around but Maranda treats all her family well and invites him to functions unless another beats her to it. He ended up with Salim who somehow ended up much older than him after their daughter was born he died while they were preparing to play and he moved to Strangerville and of course Maranda tracked him down to welcome his little girl into the family he tries his best to make it up to his first born for being an absent father but he values the crew for giving him that chance...though he's currently moody apparently we missed a birthday. Oh and Salim randomly haunted so he lives there with them.
https://i.imgur.com/Wz1CM12.png
now gen 2 heiress Lacey I started this when I didn't know much about eco living and when I had her go out and flirt the one who caught her eye ending up being one of the married premades so she found out some time into their relationship with her her adult half children that he abandoned for her after trying to resist Max Villareal which ended up in being with him and making the little brunette....the blond's uncle. She also adopted Max's son with Morgan who wasn't very close to her son so he didn't care when she passed and was happy to have Lacey he was also welcomed to the family.
https://i.imgur.com/oeYbff9.png
Grandma is so thrilled that her baby..Elliot is getting married she doesn't know they are playing in the street, that's a bad grandma I don't care how good you look lol.

"I have an idea, get out of my house."

Careful Max that's how you got your fortune, through deletion don't test me pixels.

"...yes ma'am"

hehe.

Lastly back to Gen 3 Elliot and Bronson they are glad to have him back cause tots don't stay small forever in this world I am looking forward to see if he stays cute, if Lydia has the rest of her dad's good genes or if they both get the curse of...the nose.

Yep...next I might revive my uni save, my first one that one is also all over the place.

    I did dig up an older laptop, not too old could still upgrade to windows 11 and it was fine with my tb drive to get more space but I found a different issue I have to figure out how to get my base game off steam so I can still have my dlc from origin. I have to do that because even though the steam deck recognized what was on my origin account I can't get the missing packs and origin won't let you buy it again meh. So for now I don't have everything installed but things are going well I'll just wait for my vacation coming up to try it out.

    Channel 14 if you don't care

    now I don't know if you're still on the forums I have migrated but I did want to let you know for old times sake I have taken your sim again he is part of the engaged pairs that will make a little town legacy for me. @Ulfric_Grimbrand
    https://i.imgur.com/vjDKba0.png
    So when I first moved them into their new tiny home I forgot to pair them up and he kept ruining things and for now I have things on normal so they don't have much time to mess around. So I deleted them and re-downloaded them. Now they are expecting some new residents.

    She's mad at him for some reason but oh well.

    Channel Ocho:

    I paused the game and got this reaction of my sim self's wife telling a story to her daughter Rhea, my sim self, her ex-husband and mother. They were all dying to know what happened to the basket ball!

    https://i.imgur.com/iEsrPW0.png
  • @Brd709 Oh goodie a new channel someone must have upgraded to premium lol.

    That just looks like one real fascinating story ha.

    Naturally I'm still on 14 don't want to go crazy though old girl is hanging in there for me for now.
    https://i.imgur.com/i6HdYpu.png
    First, I had the couples hang out and was taking a look at their baby bumps Judith was the smallest and you just know she was loving that, though at some point another one fell to the fear of cheating didn't see who did what but I ended the party early.
    https://i.imgur.com/sCJzCrA.png
    First came Deborah, I was setting up other families since it's on short so the game named them, I realize I don't know all their names yet ah anyways she is Becca's daughter.
    https://i.imgur.com/ealljDN.png
    Next, Ul and Judith ending up having twins and they are just darling, they aren't having any problems yet, going strong.

    This is Bernard and Nayeli...yep the game went there...Burrrrr...nerdddd lol.
    https://i.imgur.com/R6cyppK.png
    Lastly with the new anxious fellow, the twins Neal and Willie, diggin' deep here game...

    In true short playtime fashion it was soon time to age them all up.

    Think what you will but gen 2 is just darling, although being uneven I'll have to snag another sim when it's time to get married then I'll have to delete some families to even be willing to play with all their children at once. No it goes a lot smoother only spending a tiny bit of time with them at a time before rotating.
    https://i.imgur.com/MubtLMo.png
    Trying to be a star family, the twins don't care if they flirt with each other so long as everyone is together.

    https://i.imgur.com/jZ6n5mj.png
    These two don't feel as connected, all the same as a reward for surving toddler hood I have awarded the parents with a handy little aging serum so they can have some extra time and maybe just maybe meet their grandkids before they croak.

    @RedDestiny92 Thank you! I was browsing this thread recently and that screenshot felt ideal for it.
  • @Brd709 sure thing, oh yeah all nonsense and no nonsense is welcome here ha.

    Thanksgiving with my little families I love this little part in legacies just thinking how it'll change depending on who has kids, I got Becca, Aiden and Debbie some chickens...who knows why.
  • Yep button still broken so channel 14 just goes on.
    https://i.imgur.com/FcFRQCp.png
    He had a bad day but it seemed like he was crying over his boys growing up, he is a doctor so he hasn't seen much of them, yes I cheat on short life span.
    https://i.imgur.com/GFV2NSo.png
    Neal in front and Willie in back aren't they adorable?
    https://i.imgur.com/bBI1eN5.png
    The lovely Deborah is next.
    https://i.imgur.com/BdHsHKd.png
    Now the twins, as soon as she aged up Nayeli decided she wanted to flirt with Debbie so I made her able to give babies and they will be making gen 3 I'll put the boys in relationships and let ns give them kids. It'll be fun.
    https://i.imgur.com/bpzHQlz.png
    She's real proud of herself.

    Yay almost time for a new season!
  • So now some proper changes on channel 14.
    https://i.imgur.com/VKRXdqg.png
    Due to Nayeli falling for Deborah I let them rule and just focused on them, time to graduate.
    https://i.imgur.com/skng1cp.png
    I let them stay to get their diplomas, unfortunately those are decorations they can't take with them but at least they have them, other sims will go but they don't get a graduation pic a diploma will be mailed to them just the same. Anyhoo she's really going to miss her family, Ul and Judy did a fine job with her I gave them more time and Judy keeps getting upset about fake cheating, she got struck by lightening while fuming about it and before the snow melted she slept on the bench outside in her nightgown....they'll be fine.
    https://i.imgur.com/yMVbbDo.png
    They will have a wedding and begin on gen 3.

    She's learned well from her father I guess ha, smooth.
    https://i.imgur.com/4jZehjc.png
    A blast from the past, i remodeled this old house for them and visiting family, I don't think anyone saw me use this house that is still active but it was one of three houses that Wolfgang owned with his wife they moved a lot. Good times.

    Channel Ocho again:
    I missed the punchline but the audience must have got it as they were rolling with laughter!
    https://i.imgur.com/eirtiFx.png
  • @Brd709 something in her face says 'Just smile through it' hehe
    So I had shared it separately the whole nonsense with Deborah flirting with someone else in front of Nayeli, but things are moving along for them.
    https://i.imgur.com/qZE4o1j.png
    So wedding time, it was nice things were going so smoothly save for things i forgot which of course were technically working just not how I wanted them. Ul can't believe his little girl is getting married, as for Judith...probably something like yes the lovely bride comes from us.
    https://i.imgur.com/2PtYDOc.png
    Becca was determined to finish her conversation but at least they walked down the aisle.
    https://i.imgur.com/dKh7wst.png
    Even Judith's crying is more dramatic than her husband's lol.
    https://i.imgur.com/PvjuVcL.png
    Not sure what Willie was so upset about back there maybe he had a crush on one of them I can't remember, anyways finally married despite everything...just no more dating ever lol.
    I will put the rest of the wedding pics in a spoiler.

    Nayeli looks hopeful almost staring up at her new wife, I thought she'd be the one to carry the baby but apparently, I set Debbie for it so, working on gen 3 yaaaaay
