Hi!

I have my first update with the Dreamer family in Lucky Palms. I hope you enjoy it.

I did :) Darren is certainly a fast-mover when it comes to relationships but then again, in the Sims, one has to be! Darlene's wedding dress is beautiful :)

MayaRose1138- Aww rembrandt is adorable. The triplets are lovely. Ginger and Amber are lovely also. :mrgreen:

Thank you :) Most of the girls have turned out quite lovely, especially when they hit their teen years. The only problem with Rembrandt is that because I have the cheats on so as not to worry about food and stuff, he's never hungry and my sims, when they are idle, keep trying to feed him! Not good for their relationship :)

@Mayarose1138 The stuff wasn't free for everybody. Rednenemon was talking about complete your set. With the sale lowering prices depending on how many items you had already bought for a set, it made it even more likely to be able to get the sets for free or for a song lol. I had some sets that I got for 125 sim points and some for free.

Well, that explains why I could barely find anything. I don't have much in the way of sets at the moment, especially as I've decided to save for the Renaissance Fair (which will take me forever but I'm prepared to wait since I haven't bought a new copy of Dragon Valley yet anyway).

Btw, I think the mother is Antonia this time (she certainly seems to have had a lot of kids!)

@MayaRose1138 - Your Wright-Mitchell family looks like a lot of fun! I'm so happy Sapphire found a date for the prom. My teens are usually too busy with their studies to socialize much. Most of them end up going to the prom single. Sometimes, they end up with a boyfriend or girlfriend at the prom, but not often. As for the Free Vacation opportunity, I've never taken them up on it. I guess I should experience it at least once. Is it always a given that a party will be held and the police called, I wonder? And I hate it when a fire breaks out. My Sims freak out and almost seem determined to set themselves ablaze. And if they manage to put it out before the firefighter arrives, then they get fined. Aaaargh! Congratulations to Sapphire on her engagement. I hate it when Graduation Day imposes itself on the events I otherwise have planned. LOL at tying the knot in their graduation gowns! I hope you enjoy Pets and Seasons expansion packs! LOL at Rembrandt sleeping on the old newspapers! Nice birthday pictures of your Sims.

The only ones of my sims who have had dates were Sapphire and Cedar, and that was only a fluke because of the teens who came home with the kids!! I've only taken the game up on the vacation twice. Jamison had the party straight away and got caught; Sapphire and Cedar waited two days and when there was no sign of their mother coming home, had a small party so that they would come home. Now I just ignore the opportunity when it comes up because I don't have any teens who love to party :)

The first couple of Graduation Days, it was all I could do to get the sims there! For the last one, I just let the sims do nothing on that day and they actually all got their on time :)

I'm enjoying Pets and Seasons so far. Each family has a different animal (the Glovers have the cat, the Millers have two dogs, and I've just given the Wrights a horse). The fairs aren't too bad (have only had summer and autumn so far) but getting everyone together for the greeting card photo is difficult, especially if someone gets interrupted by a phone call or something and you have to start all over again!!

@MayaRose1138 - I tend to agree with you when you say that you hate swimming pools. The Landgraabs had a huge pool in their back yard and the Sims seemed to always use it when their task queues were empty. I'm currently playing the Dreamer household in Lucky Palms and the back yard is begging for a pool. I might just put in a hot tub and be done with it. Maybe also table tennis and a few other activities.

I fenced off the swimming pool in the Miller's new house but now they keep going to the rollerskating rink that I got from the summer festival!! Looks like I'll have to fence that off too :) They either do that or try to feed the pets when they don't need to be fed!

MayaRose1138 I hate it when my game kept freezing after I first got World Adventures and found out it was defective and had to go back to the store.I also had another issue with Supernatural and have to buy a replacement disk because it was too late to get it back to the store when I found out the other disk was defective and caused the game to hang on save.

I hope none of my new games are defective! It's only been crashing with the one family so far and I haven't learnt from mistakes and save more often :( If it keeps doing that, I'll have to start a new save and see what happens.

MayaRose: There are a good number of free items yet available in the store..maybe
you have downloaded all the free items and bonus downloads from games you own
but if you haven't I have always found the items to be nice and useful in game.
As far as from the sale...some where buying pieces to sets they have been picking
up either through daily deal or often as gifts from other simmers...then they
check complete my set and find they can download the remaining items for free.

Okay, that explains why I could hardly find anything. I always download the free content (I have the Celtic stuff from Dragon Valley even though I don't have the game downloaded because my friend didn't use the code :)) Maybe I'll go have another look around.

@Unlockedinferno: I'm really liking the redecoration of the house :) I'm not the best with redecorating so it's always interesting to see what other people have done.

It's Mira & Matteo's quads birthday today.


Alejandro.

Oh, he's cute! How did you have quads though? I didn't think the game allowed anything over triplets??

I would have had an update on the Millers today but as I said, the game froze and so all my photos that I had are now worthless. But when I was in the game the other day, I went into CAS and the random female sim that appeared was lovely so I have used her to create one half of my superhero duo. I don't have a name for them yet so suggestions are welcome :)

I must have gone through fifty random sims before I came across him :) I've tweaked the hair and eye colour on both but other than, I've left them as I found them.
