It's been a while since I posted anything about my gameplay, around a month I think? Time has gone so fast, but also slow at the same time, I feel. Anyway, I thought I'd give an update on the Blackrose twins!
Charlotte and Louisa finished school early as teens, and after some convincing, Louisa joined Charlotte to Innisgreen. They were both still struggling after losing their mother Victoria as children. They thought that the change of scenery would help them move on. Turns out, it's not easy living with your sibling when you both have very different ambitions. Charlotte wanted to embrace the natural way of living like their mother, and was captivated by the magic of Innisgreen. Louisa... not so much. The lifestyle reminded her too much of what they'd lost.
Shortly after, they turned young adults. Louisa had enough of Innisgreen and wanted to follow her own dreams. Charlotte struggled to accept it, but respected her sister's wish. Louisa ended up moving to Nordhaven, where she immidiately got busy building her business.
Despite living their whole life together so far, Charlotte decided to stay in Innisgreen. She didn't want to give up on Innisgreen, or why she felt so close to it... even if it meant living apart from her twin.
Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 253 (A Pleasant Wedding)
Most of the extended Pleasant clan came together in San Myshuno for the wedding of Angela Pleasant to her formerly time-travelling fiance, Emit Relevart. The simple church wedding was a chance for the fractured family to gather in celebration, setting aside their dramatic differences to help the devoted couple set the right mood.
Their four-year-old daughters, Selene and Solange, wore matching heart-print dresses and cardigans in different shades of red and pink, excited to watch their parents get married in the old stone church.
Cousin Lucy sent her love along with her parents, Jennifer and John, but she had exams and college visits, and couldn't reschedule because this was the only weekend her boyfriend, Greyson Pancakes, was available, too.
But not having Lucy there wouldn't dampen much - ever since Jennifer Pleasant Burb had told Lilith not to visit them because of her kleptomania, her brother Daniel's daughters mostly put up with their paternal relatives as a matter of course.
They both put in a lot more effort trying to make amends with their father and his new wife. Kaylynn was younger than them, and their infant half-brother, Marshall, was younger than their own children, but they wanted peace. They wanted their children to know their grandfather because family was important, but it wasn't easy to forget how Daniel and Kaylynn broke their mother's heart.
Ange and Lil attended Daniel and Kaylynn's small wedding at home, without their own families, in an attempt to bridge the gaps that formed after the affair. Kaylynn's parents, who were Daniel's age, weren't in attendance either - besides the twins, only Kaylynn's brother Parker, sister-in-law Monika, and niece Mae witnessed the simple vows. But today, Daniel, Kaylynn, Marshall, and Mary Sue were all coexisting peacefully in the same room for Angela and Emit's sake.
Recovering their relationships was a slow process, but one they were all mostly committed to.
Mary Sue was thriving in Ravenwood. She joined the local Welcome Wagon soon after her arrival, because it was a great way to meet new people and help others adjust as quickly as she did.
She and Olive Specter forged a friendship despite their differences - both were elder women looking to keep busy, but while Mary Sue genuinely wanted to meet and connect with every new face she met in Ravenwood, Olive followed her around on the welcome wagon to load up on town gossip.
And the most gossip-worthy newbies in Ravenwood these days were Lady Mimsy Alcorn Shallot and her ghostly husband, Lord Bernard.
The couple lived in a massive old home that had seen far less maintenance than the estate-turned-museum they'd haunted for over a century, but the new abode was at least grand enough for a lord and his lady. Bernard told Olive and Mary Sue about his plans for restoration, but few of his ideas could be executed in his current ghostly form.
Lady Mimsy and Lord Bernard weren't quite equipped for manual labour, but Mimsy was in an even more precious predicament. Soon after moving to Ravenwood and settling in, she visited a modern physician who told her the same thing she'd been told the day of her death. She was expecting a child, and she was more excited than her husband - but that alone left her feeling fearful of the unknown months ahead.
Whether Mimsy had conceived after her resurrection, or had remained pregnant until her resurrection, was unclear. Traditional medical expertise had one opinion, but Mimsy was a resurrected occult. With that in mind, anything was possible.
One way or another, Mimsy was determined to make a home for their future child, while Bernard was working through the revelation his own way.
How things would work out for Mimsy and Bernard was anybody's guess, but Mary Sue was keen to find out.
Today, however, her second daughter would marry her great love, and she got to spend time with her granddaughters. Despite her own heartbreak and her ex-husband's much-younger wife seated across the pews, she couldn't be happier to celebrate Angela and Emit's - and Selene and Solange's - big day.
The only non-family guests were Emit's boss, Jonathan, and his judge-turned-almost-time-thief wife, Robin Banks. They brought their infant daughter, Snow Banks, who was just walking and crawling and curiously explored the church floor beneath the pews.
Guests took their seats as the ceremony began, with Angela approaching the altar on the arm of her fiance. Their four-year-old daughters followed with excited smiles. During the short vows in front of a wooden altar, the twins were on their best behaviour while their parents' exchanged romantic 'I do's.'
The guests mingled during photos after the short ceremony - the shorter, the better, to keep young guests in attendance from getting restless. As it was, both Selene and Solange napped in the church pews between photographs. Angela chatted warmly with her new, younger, stepmother, choosing not to let an ounce of family drama ruin her wedding day.
Felix followed curious Jasper as he explored all the nooks of the church, but he was pulled away by the ring of his phone. It was his boss, Lex Mattingly, looking for Felix to take another case. "I'd love to handle this one," Lex lied. "But my wife just spent a fortune on a pair of designer puppies that are supposed to live over thirty years, and she booked us into obedience school for three weeks."
"Thirty years? And the dogs are healthy?"
"Our vet said they were perfectly fine. Two Bernese mountain dogs, clean bills of health. And all new expenses for me," he mused as the line crackled between them. "Sorry about the connection. I'm on an earpiece in the pool and it's pretty hazy out here."
"I heard you fine," said Felix. "Do you mind if I tell my friend, Colonel Gordon, about this? He's researching a case about a mysterious puppy mill selling designer dogs. It's kind of personal for him; their family Bernese, Gord, might've come from the same breeders. Or people who know your breeders."
"You think it's too good to be true?"
"Conrad thinks a lot of their research is outside board-certified parameters, but if they're openly selling to people like you, they must not be black market dealers."
Lex laughed, because they both knew that was no given. "Sure. I don't mind talking to Colonel Gordon. I remember him from your wedding. Real nice guy, and if he's got one of these magic Bernese dogs, too, he and I should be friends. Just don't let this end in anyone coming to confiscate those dogs; my three-year-old would never forgive me."
While everyone was in the church taking photos, Lilith slipped away with a test she'd stuffed in her luggage before the flight from Ravenwood. She didn't want to steal her sister's thunder and announce anything at the wedding, but she could think of little else until she finally peed on the stick.
After a few minutes, two lines formed, and her heart filled with excitement at the thought of Jasper being a big brother. Siblings could be dramatic sometimes, but they were a blessing, and she wanted him to have someone as she had Angela. She had Marshall, too, but in a different way; the infant couldn't even talk yet.
She found Felix quietly watching Jasper in the pews. "I don't want to tell everyone yet, but I want to tell you. I'm pregnant again, Felix."
With a fist pump to the sky, the attorney was just as thrilled by the news the second time as he was for their first.
"Lilith, that's wonderful! How far along?"
"Not long at all, but I feel good."
Felix grinned as a thought struck him. "Would you let us call the baby Maude, if it's a girl? It just feels like a dream - Maude helped us with the time thief and the Gordons resurrected Mimsy a month ago. We're helping her and Bernard, even if he doesn't really want to be helped, and now you're pregnant. We've been trying since Jasper was almost a year old."
Spoiler Alert: It IS a girl!!
Lilith smiled. "I love that name, and she is my great-great-grandmother. You think she's like our guardian angel, sending us a baby to say thanks for helping her sister?"
Felix grinned, with the same jovial laugh Lilith fell in love with years earlier. "Considering everything else we've seen, would it really be so hard to believe?" ->

WCIF: The church lot is from the Sims 4 Gallery by lololaura12 (an update of the original by Ashoram1), and I used combinations of several different poses for the wedding portraits - old standbys like LuckyCC's Wedding poses, @traveling-sims' Big Family poses, @rebouks' Infant Insanity Family Photos, and Cute Little Twins by Katverse.
But I also had the chance to use my first in-game pose by @changingplumbob!! Selene, Solange, and Jonathan and Robin Banks' daughter Snow Banks are posed with Kirsty's Tiny Trio pose pack in two different images. In the official family wedding portrait, I toggled the twins closer together because there's no infant. Perfect pose, easy to understand and use! Thank you for sharing it!
I noticed you guys were asking for a jewelry collection so this set has been in my plans for quite awhile. I wanted to make something versatile that could go with many looks and for many occasions so the Minimalist set was born. It comes in 10 swatches and includes 5 pairs of earrings, 2 necklaces, 2 bracelets for both wrists and 2 sets of rings. Some of these I own myself so this collection really reflects my taste in accessories. Hope you like it and happy simming! 💗
Extra long braids are here, plus cute scrunchies you can wear if you’d like! Longer braids have been requested for a while, so I figured it was time to finally make it happen 🌟 Enjoy!
