Such a cute update! The wedding was beautiful. <3 Joshua is lucky to be born into this lovely family. :) I love the dress cleo wears during her pregnancy! Do you know where I can find it?

Thank you. :) Joshua is indeed lucky. So many adults/elders to take care of him, too!

The dress is by Amaryll, you can find it in many varieties and colours here. :)

Great update as always. Baby Joshua looks scared when Catherine is feeding him.

And the wedding was adorable.

Thank you. :) Heheh, babies always look a bit shocked when the sims cram the bottle into their mouth, guess I snapped a picture at the right moment.

This was lovely! You also managed to accomplish a huge feat that still escapes many simmers - getting everyone to sit down during a wedding!

Thank you! :)

Getting them all to sit down and watch is a pain!! I usually lock the doors so they can't go into the house and start raiding the fridge/playing games/watching TV/be jerks, try to get them all to be in the general vicinity of the wedding arch, then make them selectable when the ceremony starts and command them to 'watch' again if it drops out of their queue because someone else took the seat they wanted. :P

This was only eight sims, doing it with many more can be really... complicated. Then I might make them all selectable, turn off free will, make them all sit down ahead of time, and then make them all watch. Pausing the game a lot is essential!

Since you can't command sims to watch birthdays, those always end up being a lot more random, heheh.

The wedding is lovely. I agree, it is hard to get everyone to sit and watch a wedding. I've had more family members watch from inside the house then out on the lawn most times. :P

Birthdays...heh, heh...I always love the one sim that shows up after the child/adult has grown up and starts blowing a horn or something.

The house looks so nice, too. They really are a very nice family.

Thank you. :)

Yeah, left to their own devices the sims will just scatter all over the place. I also REALLY hate how usually, 3-4 of them will try to get into the same seat, and instead of finding a different seat the rest will just give up, drop the action, and go play chess or something. Jerks.

Haha, yeah, the latecomers are funny.

"Hooray!! Woo!! *blows horn*"

*crickets chirp*

"...Dude, the party finished hours ago."

Yes, who needs a nanny when you have a super grand-aunt?! :D
Can't wait to see Joshua face when he gets older :P

I really like your take on this family meetme! Last time I played them was only for 10minutes and, only to send Jacob to college and to move Cleo and Patricia in because I was too lazy to play and makeover the girl's house! Those old ladys need more love :P

(Now I'm going to peek your tumblr ;) )

Joshua has a really great face, I'm looking forward to showing him off. :D

Thank you! This family is a bit difficult to get into, but I think they can be a lot of fun. Betty and Catherine are both great! And the weird dynamic of them living with Andrew and Jacob is interesting.

Hope you like my tumblr... :) Do you have one?

No, I don't have a tumblr but, I like Yours and, almost every day I go peek it to see if you post a new picture from Pleasantview. I don't comment there (sorry) but, I love all your work and it's always nice to see your pictures :D

Aww. Thank you. :) I'm not sure where I'm going with my Pleasantview yet, but I'm enjoying making it over. Posting on Tumblr is more casual than on LJ, although I still prefer LJ overall. I might post some more of my PV makeovers here eventually. :)

A real feelgood update this! I love your version of this family, probably because it is so different from mine. :D

Thank you! :) They are very different, aren't they? I like your take too, though, I think it makes sense for Andrew to get together with one of the old ladies. ;)
