Chapter 13 & 14 Picspam

[silverbelle1220]

I can’t believe that I forgot to do picspam for the past two chapters. Actually, I can. Work and real life have sucked as of late, and I just didn’t have a lot of extra motivation.

So here’s a treat for you: two chapters worth of spare updates & picspam.

That's a lot of deaths. I use the days left shrub now, it tells me how many days a sim has until their next birthday and to seeing Grim if they are an elder.

For the clothes I use the sim blender. I've had it awhile but only just realized you can change their clothes with it without moving them! It's wonderful! You go appearance/clothes/whatever type of clothes you need such as every day, formal etc. So long they are not frozen on the freezer clock as I found out last night. I was trying for some ambitious type portraits done in poses with objects and realized my Patriarch was in his outerwear when I wanted formal and the option for clothes wasn't there because I had him frozen.

I love kiddies sliding down banisters too. :D Teens will do it too. Actually I had one teen who did it while holding a toddler! I wasn't sure if that was a glitch or something that can just happen.

I hope you end up marring Marsha in. I've married her in twice now. One of my two favourite townie girls.

I usually check SimPE as I notice life bars getting shorter. I like to be prepared to shoot the deaths, especially those of my main characters.

I do have the sim blender, but I forgot to put it on the vacation lots. It's very useful when kiddies come home from private school in their uniforms.

Lila is the only one so far who like sliding down the banisters. I hope I get a few more though. It's a great interaction.

Lips are sealed on Marsha. You'll just have to read the next few chapters.

It's nice to see the doings of the rest of the hood, but you're right not to include them in story.

Sometimes, sims WILL do romantic interactions completely autonomously, as long as their gender preferences are set, but it's relatively rare - at least in my experience. I'm told it's more common with more outgoing sims.

I agree on the marrying cousins thing, btw. Not for the heir, of course, as that's against rules, but for anyone else? They can marry cousins. It helps the insanity.

Aw, but alien! You could always just show him/her in outtakes, they'd be far enough from the main line anyway.

Awww, Jefferson's 10 nice points really show there. He has 10, right?

Can't wait for your next chapter!

It's very hard to edit what I show in the story. I think I'm getting better at it, especially when there are so many families running around now.

I'm not sure what was going on with Sophia, but she was happy and that's all I really cared about. She is pretty outgoing, so that may be what happend.

There will be loads of cousins marrying over the next few generations. I've got far too many households to manage as it is.

I know! Aliens are awesome, but I've gone 5 generations without the supernaturals and I kind of feel like I need to stick to that. Besides, the span of generation 5 is alrady huge (young adult to child), and I didn't want any more sprawl there.

Yes, Jefferson has 10 nice points (and I can't figure that out, because Jan and Matthew have about 5 between them, I think). He's a really sweet boy, and I have plans for him. He he he.

If I can get all the playing I need done this weekend, chapter will be about two weeks out...but that depends on what happens this weekend.
