Only in Redwood Harbor

It's party time!

Just the typical hilarity of sims and their choices in costumes, but Cristina isn't feeling it today.

Aww...the wonder of first trimester pregnancy symptoms.

She was finally feeling well enough to at least see what all her guests were up to, but she's still not too happy. I bet she's regretting her decision to throw a party today!

At least she's got one of her best friends, Edith, to chat with. And some of the guests are beginning to leave now that it's getting late.

Aaaand that's when Cristina decided to go outside...facepalm... Oh Gosh! I wonder what happens to a Sim who's abducted by aliens while pregnant!?

LOL! Poor Cristina! She looks a little shellshocked.

Okay, everyone, It's the middle of the night. I think it's about time to head home.

Finally...a little peace and quiet.

Home From the Library

While Clark was at the library with Annie Edith earned a promotion!

Not wanting to get into any more trouble, Grace DID stay home the entire day today! Playing video games which apparently is allowed while grounded! Facepalm...you can't go to school or your ballet recital while grounded, but you can play all the video games you want!

Hey look! It's Maggie! On a now rare outing downtown. Is she trying to tell Sheree it's time to go home?

Woot woot! Happy birthday to yet another toddler who's aged up!

We say goodbye to the Marks family with some more adorable pictures of their life!

And Grace chatting with her bestie!

The Laundry Glitch

When I first got back into the Gallo household I noticed Edith doing laundry. Nothing out of the ordinary…but then I noticed that she was for some reason leaving her house to do it…aaand taking a water taxi off world! This of course crashed my game. I thought it was a glitch, but as you'll see, it has continued to happen in other households. I thought my save was corrupted, but it began to happen in other saves and worlds…so…I still haven't figured this one out and it's been literal months…close to a year since it started to happen. One of the reasons, along with the constant fudging up of my computer and game from Windows Updates, One Drive activating itself and general lack of time that I have hardly touched my game in a looong while! I figure it must be some mod or cc that is causing this particular laundry glitch, but honestly, I just haven't had the motivation to go through everything and figure out what it is. So, in lieu of actually fixing the problem, I've taken to trying to catch my sims as they're doing laundry, cancelling the action and then directing them to use the washer and/or dryer! Ugh…I just wish my game would behave as it did a couple of years ago.

Anyway, after I restarted my game and made sure Edith was NOT doing laundry autonomously this time, I began checking out the new house they purchased while I was on rotation with Brianna…or was it Shayne and Cristina. Anywhoo, I heard crying so I went to investigate…Um…Edith?? Who even is this!?

Yeah so, apparently they bought a house with some random sim's ashes in the attic! Not haunted at all!

I found Kip asleep in his favorite place...the bathroom!

And both kiddos were down for a nap. Hmm…better make sure they have enough beds for when summer time comes and Clark gets Zachery for the season! Overall, it is a very nice home! Smaller than Terrell and Alyson's old one, but I have plans for that…

Oh gosh! I know several months ago I mentioned that Thomas was really going through something this round and this was the moment I began to really worry about him…and his family with Corinna! I have my SP settings set pretty high as far as dislike goes before causing a divorce. I did this for two reasons. Namely, I don't want my sims swapping partners every two minutes while I'm on rotation, but also realistically it is more difficult to get a divorce than it is to just break up with a partner so I wanted the game to reflect that as well. But that doesn't mean my married sims can't get divorced! And as I was to find out over the next couple of households, the Jones's are having some marital difficulties…

On a happier note, Clark stayed late to complete an opportunity and it really paid off!

The Times They are a Changin

Um...why is the baby's name different?? Hmm...maybe Alicia and Kyle are deciding to call their daughter by a middle name?? I don't know, but this will require further investigation!

Reggie is feeling a little ahem "restless" this morning and seeing as Brianna keeps following him everywhere he again rolled the want to send her a woohooty text...so I let him do it, but I take no responsibility for the chaos this could cause.

She agreed to come over, but then must have thought better of it. Either she got wise to the fact he's only interested in one thing and decided not to let him use her, or this has all been some diabolical plan to make him crazy or something and she really isn't still pining away for him. I'm honestly not sure, but she never showed and eventually Reggie headed to work. All for the best I say!

Just a few last pictures of Reggie's little house he's lived in since the beginning of the playthrough..

It's the end of my time with Reggie for this round and I decided to end it at Saucy Jack's for a relaxed night after work.

But, Reggie had the last say, LOL! Life has changed, his home has changed and Reggie himself has changed. One thing that doesn't change though? Reggie LOVES to dance, LOL!

Learning Those Skills

It's before sunrise on Snowflake Day, and while Edith tends to Annie, Clark has some big plans for Cristy!

Talk about starting the day off on the right foot!

Aww...These two are still besties! I love town notifications!

OMG! We have walking down, so Edith autonomously took it upon herself to start teaching Cristy to talk! I'm impressed! She just might get all her milestone skills done before aging up! I only have two days left with the Gallo's for this round so let's get crackin!

Speaking of skills. Edith has her one hobby that she loves and excels at, but hasn't had time for in a good while...sounds familiar! So Clark tucked the kids in for the night and she went down to the gym.

Yep! She's still got it! And I think she felt good getting back to her martial arts!

Oh thank goodness! I personally HATED these two together! I was going to be so mad if they'd wound up having a kid together!

Another of my original population aging into an adult! Can I cry now!?

Future Child Prodigy

Oh great! The dishwasher broke! On a side note, this guy looks SUPER happy to be working on it! Hey Sir! We're paying you good money to fix it...and you know, it's kinda your job!

Just going through relationship panels...Edith! What beef do you have with Joanna and Woodrow!? I didn't even know! Hmm...I wonder what happened? I never had any notifications. I guess some sims just simply don't like each other.

Booyah! As you may recall, Kyle and Shayne are in a property investment business together...at least that's in my mind as that isn't really a game mechanic now that they're no longer roommates, but I do have plans for them, hopefully this round!

Way to go Cristy! I could definitely see you becoming a musician when you grow up!

Clark is home and ready to relax for a bit now that both kids are napping again! It's Edith's turn to be at work tonight. I sure hope they don't have to work opposite schedules all their lives!

Both girls are up! Annie just needed a bottle and quick snuggle, but Cristy was itching to play blocks!

And Kip woke up for some brushes and care!

The End of Summer

It's the last day of summer and after the early night Brianna had she's ready to be up and out enjoying the last of the sun with Petunia!

Also, we have some news. Even though the Gallo's currently live in one of the largest homes in town, they're apparantly moving to a better one? Hmmm...I'm going to have to inspect that!

Little Frankie Torrez has grown into a toddler and Andrae! I'm surprised at you!

Brianna decided to go fishing for a bit. Gardening and now fishing! She's becoming quite the talented sim!

Alright! Terrell has earned a promotion!

Which has apparently attracted the attention of Alyson! I swear, if those two wind up back together after all these years...

Petunia was off as always in search of collectables.

With a new baby on the way, Alicia called Brianna up for one last job. A new nursery! Unfortunately, their house will require some significant reorganizing to add stairs to the current attic space. Well...we'll try our best with what funds we have left over. Also, I'm going to leave an extra bed because I'm pretty sure Berty will age into a child by the time I get to the Baldwins in the rotation.

In the end, it's not perfect by any means, but technically we DID stay within the requests and budget Alicia wanted. I sure hope she likes it, I'd hate for a bad reno to impact Alicia and Brianna's friendship!

Way to go Brianna! The job may not have netted her a huge bonus like Harold's , but it was enough to earn her a promotion!

Finishing up our week with Brianna with an Autumn Salad featuring home grown veggies! Yumm!

My first shared screenshot of the new Pickerling Cove! I have finally set aside a little time every week so I can get this puppy DONE! And heads up, Microsoft will stop ALL support for Origin in April, so I don't know how us world builders with the EA app are going to use Edit In Game 😞

After I predicted these two as a couple back in round 2, Clark and Edith did eventually get together on their own and tie the knot in Round 3 of Redwood Harbor! Now if my game can STOP throwing Clark into flirtation situations... it's not in his personality so I don't know why it keeps happening 😭
