What Happened In Your Game Today, The Quickies

The derelict cemetery behind the historic Pebble Burrow Saloon.

I have been slowly renovating my château since moving the extended Keiser family in! It took quite a while before I started renovating because I had 9 sims in the household with 3 toddlers and that was challenge enough believe me. After a couple birthdays and an unfortunate death it became more manageable.

Here Elias and his brother-in-law are quite thrilled after finishing their pool area for the last days of summer.

The family enjoyed their new space to the fullest! Peep the grandmother Terra in her pyjamas haha, I think her age was catching up to her.

Eventually fall came around and with that, a big renovation! You'll either hate or love this, but I absolutely love it haha.

It was frustrating having that wonderful scenery which you could barely see from the small windows inside - but no more, windows galore!

The scouting twins are loving their new space.

I put the sofas facing the windows in an L-shape so even if you've fighting like these people to the left are, you're still enjoying the view.

I couldn't decide which pictures to use, the rest of them are here if you'd like to see :sweat_smile::


On a more personal note, Elias' love life is thriving. He met Kim and they are finally a couple. They enjoyed breakfast with a view this morning!

Her and his son Didrik are so fond of each other, she'll be a great step-mum I'm sure :blush:

I can't wait for Eco Lifestyle to come out! This family and their lifestyle is perfect for it. I'm so curious to see what their Water and Power Utility is actually like. I think I will have to make some changes for them to be more sustainable haha!

Nice lot. The terrain work is especially good. Are you having any routing issues with so much elevation?

@OEII1001 Thank you :blush: I made sure to playtest thoroughly before my initial build (pre-reno here) and made clear paths them to route through, so I don't have any issues.

Armando and Britta's Dad, Adam, are really good friends now. They both love gardening and spend time tending to Britta's garden, reading together, playing video games and just hanging out for a chat while Britta catches up on her Rocket skills and goes to work until the baby arrives.

"Are you going to do right by my daughter and marry her?"
"Yes Sir, sometime soon before the baby arrives."

Britta was just a few hours away from going into her 3rd trimester when a notice the Romance Festival was in town popped up, so they took advantage and got married there. Unfortunately, Adam missed the entire ceremony since he was too busy singing Karaoke. Silly man. Oh well...

When Britta came home from work the next evening, she gave birth to a daughter, Carina. She looks just like her Mother and nothing like the man she worships and mimics constantly, her Daddy.

https://i.imgur.com/q3on8mY.png

She also absolutely adores her Grandpa. He's quite smitten with her too. I'm so glad he's able to get to know his Granddaughter for a little while.

Britta has the Charmer trait and I can definitely see her working those charms on both the men in her life. She has them wrapped around her tiny, little finger.

"No she doesn't"
Yes she does Adam, admit it!
"Okay, she does."

https://i.imgur.com/Yrz2byD.png

Britta has used up all her Family Leave days, but luckily still has 6 vacation days to use. She'll go back to work when Carina ages up next week and then will age up to an adult herself the next day. She's Level 5 in her career and Level 9 in Rocket skills. She's well on her way in reaching all the goals. She's met an alien at work and befriended her too, but I might have her wait until she travels to Sixam to see if any of the aliens there would like to live with them first. At least she has this Gal as a back-up, just in case.

No sign of Ian yet. I keep hoping he'll call either Britta or Adam, but so far he hasn't. I hope he contacts them soon before Adam dies so they can spend a little time together again. Adam's life bar has been bubbling for a long time. He has the long-lived trait, but I don't know how many extra days he gets with that. Hopefully a lot...

Their house now has a second floor with the Master bedroom an en suite and an empty room for an alien's bedroom. Carina's room is downstairs. There's hardly any decorations on the walls (except family photos) or plants other than the garden yet, but she's getting there with help from her now expanded garden, salary and the SimRay. Speaking of which, I laughed my head off when Britta transformed something into THIS:

It's some kind of flaming toilet trophy! What!? I've never in all the years I've been playing TS4 seen this before. Does anybody know how a Sim would normally be awarded something like this? It's hilarious! :D

Thanks for reading and Happy Simming! <3

The twins were dressing up for Halloween today.

I'm still preparing my main savefile for Eco Lifestyle, because I have lots of plans for what I want to do with it... But since I can't play Eco Lifestyle yet, I had to make sure that my sims got prepared for it!

At New Years Eve, Arhun decided to invite lots of sims that had been important for him throughout this year to a big party in one of Glimmerbrook's local lounges.

Vlad, another vampire, Gemma Charm and the robot are dancing along to the music.

R-HUN The Robot challenged Vladislaus to a dance battle. To be honest, I don't think Vlad knows how to dance. R-HUN definitely won!

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49933052907_5c18dae7e6_c.jpg
A whole group of naked sims showed up at the lounge as well. They looked quite suspicious and I think that sim in the hoodie is their leader.
Luckily, nothing bad happened during the party.

Arhun also wanted to invite Lana McKinnon, his former professor and now a vampire, to the party so that he could get romantic with her... Lana came over for a little bit, but refused Arhun's romantic actions.

And now it's time to move over to my other household that I'm going to focus on during my Eco Lifestyle playthrough: The supernatural friends.
Arhun used to live here as well, but he moved out to study at university.

Meet Apocalypsia (in the cat hoodie since she loves cats) and Amaryllis (on the right). Amaryllis is the third generation of the Thompson family. And Apocalypsia is generation 6 of the Vajjer family, that originally started with Crypto Vajjer (an alien in The Sims 3). They don't really look all that supernatural, huh? Well, you might be wrong!

Amaryllis was born in Sulani and has always loved the islands. She enjoys taking care of the island and is currently working as a conservationist. But she's also a mermaid! Apocalypsia was born during the Strangerville apocalypse (hence her name). Though, with the apocalypse being over, she followed the path of a spellcaster. Apocalypsia and Amaryllis are going to be my two main sims for Eco Lifestyle, but I have plans with Arhun and the robot as well.

Arhun's sister, Rhune (a vampire), also lives with the group, but I didn't take a photo of her. And they have a cat in their household too, named Dixie!

This is Apocalypsia in her room, preparing another potion. So far, she only knows 2 potion recipes and one spell (Repairio).

And just for fun and giggles, I want to end with this picture:

A sim casually walking over water. :p

I like this photo of Benjamin & his wife Liberty Lee.
