What happened in your game today, by ONE picture?

Just got the For Rent expansion in the black Friday sales ♥️♥️ I could of spent so much more but I know I'm getting a playstation store voucher for Christmas 🥰🥰

It is great that you now own For Rent and was able to get it whilst it was on sale! @cbarber89 🙂 Happy renting! 
I hope that her husband will enjoy being a dad to his alien baby @SheriGR 🙂

I do own all the packs, except for a couple of kits @cbarber89 🙂 Seasons would especially be a great pack to get. It adds many features to the game, through the changing weather and seasons.

@rosemow Thanks for the encouragement! I was considering a while back that if this guy ever turned up pregnant (he's been a space ranger for years and abducted a lot in my game, but almost always in a full house, so this is the first time it happened). However, I just went through the rigorous raising of those supersims (4 at once) that I talked about too much, and just popped in the new generation 'supersim' infant I 'bred' from one of them to include Grim in the family tree (grimborn), and I'm toying with slowly raising her... so I'm not too sure I'm motivated to raise the alien infant alongside. These 'supersims' have alien blood, but are very much a regular sim, not alien (aside from having the handshake). So... we'll see... I may have it live in limbo with the supersims'  alien ancestor and his 'Sulani spirit' wife in an unplayed household for now? I need to decide real soon! 😅 I've never raised an alien baby! 

I always make sure that I have musical instruments and an easel in homes where my sims live @cbarber89 🙂

@cbarber89 enjoy For Rent! My Sims love the rice cooker that came with that pack! They start new meals in it even if there are leftovers in the refrigerator! 😅  I think you will love Seasons, though it does change gardening. But it also adds a lot of new plants as well!  And the bee box for easy fertilizing, honey, and beeswax! You can make your own holidays as well, or change most of the ones that are already programmed to occur.  For example, for my single Sims on Love Day, I forgo all the normal activities and change the holiday to only involve putting up decorations and watching Romance TV!  Easy Aspiration points and my Sims that are single don't have to even be dating to have fun! 

@rosemow I also usually add an easel and instruments to a house, but I also usually add a chess set as well! 

@SheriGR That picture is hilarious! I have a copy of your SimSelf and your SimHubby in my game, so this made me chuckle!   Raising an Alien child in the game is really no different from raising a regular child other than a different bassinet and that the babies have a slightly different cry.  I raised a several of them in one household that started out with a Scientist that I named Ned who lived alone until Aliens abducted him and he had a little girl! Then I had him marry Eva Capriosa and they had their own girl at the same time that Ned got abducted and pregnant again, so that both parents were pregnant at the same time! 🤪🤣 Later they had a little boy and then 2 of Ned's clones from work joined the household, one being an Evil Clone! 😈😅🤣 That house was pure chaos!  

@SheriGR Sheri-sim hubby at least gets experience what Sheri-sim went through (or would go through) during a pregnancy. Probably has new respect now. 😃

Father cheering son on who's learning how to ride a bike. The look on Jason's face. Typical child. Has the "Really dad?" expression.

@LegacySims2017  Well, poor guy went through labor maybe close to 10 times while I tried experimenting to see if I could get a different result than green skin &/or alien eyes. Same result every time, unfortunately. I find the alien eyes to be creepy and the tone of green on green alien skin visually grating, so I feel that's unfair when raising it. At first I sent it home due to my 'prejudicial grating reactions' to those features. Then I rethought it. In the end I went back to the newborn part of the save, aged her to infant, and activated her disguise. So now I'm back to raising two infants side-by-side (alongside my new 'SuperSim' infant descendent of one of previous SuperSims with Grimborn also bred in). At least it's better than four at the same time like last time. 😁
Hopefully by the time they're teens the graduation bug will be fixed. You can always hope.

Technically this is one pic... a collage. 😁

Give me a break, right? Look at his little face! Felt like when one of your kids brings home a stray. I'm like, 'oh, okaaaayyyy... you can keep your alien baby....' 🙄

Edit: I've not played an alien before (aside from making an adult one for a different family), and for some reason I didn't think you could edit their skin. But... tried opening this baby in cas.fulleditmode and I was able to change her skin to blue not green . Yay!

@LegacySims2017  So true!! Maybe he's also annoyed like me that I cannot choose the color of any sim's bike helmet. 😁
Oh, on your floaty lounger sim... In my game I've gone through several sim pregnancies on a couple of Sulani lots that included water access and one of those water loungers... every time my sims autonomously head to the lounger in the middle of being in labor to rest a bit! 

@PugLove888  Oh my goodness... the last thing I want after I die is to sit at the table with a giant rat across from me!! Sounds like a level of purgatory from Dante! 🤣

Thank you, @rosemow ...you are always so kind! 🌹

 @BylineBelife  Awww... your house is lovely and I'm so glad you managed to get it done despite your physical challenges! I hope you will have fun playing in it (apparently in shorter pieces of time), and that you will find the play to be a satisfying distraction. There's a lot to be said for that. 🤗

That would be nice if we could pick the helmet color/design.

I can let you know she is not pregnant. 😃 I do find it nice she decided to relax, tho. If she's in the house when someone else is home, she always finds something to do, whether it's cleaning, fixing something, or making sure she's engaged with a family member in chatting.

He is being an encouraging Dad! @LegacySims2017 🙂 Perhaps underneath the look Jason is secretly happy that his Dad is supporting him but just doesn’t want to show it! 
It is great that he is raising both infants and that you rethought sending the baby back @SheriGR It is sweet photo of the two of them in their cots 🙂

@LegacySims2017 , that is the perfect expression of a kid who is a bit embarrassed by dad, but without being a brat about it! 😅  But I agree with @rosemow that maybe he is secretly happy his dad is supportive, but just embarrassed enough to hide it!  I also agree with @SheriGR that maybe he is upset he can't change the color of his bike helmet!  I get so mad when the game gives me one I like (like turquoise) only for the next time they ride a bike the helmet changes to a color I don't care for, like yellow! 😣 

@SheriGR I'm so happy you kept the alien baby and also happy you could change the color to blue! (Besides, green aliens are so cliché! 😂). And @rosemow is right -- the picture of the 2 babies next to each other in their cribs is endearing! 🥰
And I love how sneaky you are making 3 pictures count as one picture!  I need to know how to do that! 🤣
