Snowflake Day started with yet ANOTHER hairball! Poor Otis, he's getting old, I don't think he'll be around by the next time I get back to this household.
Meanwhile Terrell spent the Holidays with his kids over at Allyson's house. Not gonna lie, I'm still kind of bummed it couldn't work out between them, but it is honestly for the best. Their relationship was not healthy.
Back at our household, after breakfast, Everyone got dressed and ready to head out for some fun family time.
And it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day! Marsha took the boys to the park to play with the Jones kids for a bit, but the Winter Festival won't be in town forever!
And it looks like Terrell had to work for a bit after spending time with Jerrod and Lloyd. Gotta grind if you want to make it as a rockstar!
Thankfully this performance wasn't interrupted by rude sims who drop their screaming toddlers on the front of the stage IN THE MIDDLE of a performance! LOL! I'm lookin at you Ida!
Aaaand apparently everyone in our household was underwhelmed by the performance and the festival itself because by the time I finished getting photos of Terrell Singing they'd all run off again! The boys played football and tag outside.
And speaking of Ida, Marsha was invited to a party at the Gale household where she danced...alone...in their office/spare room. LOL! Sims are so weird! Oh look! Rayne showed up by the end of the night too!
It took me a minute to find Billy. He was down at Saucy Jack's telling his troubles to the bartender.
Oh Billy...you're looking a wee bit toasted...
Oh! OMG! He IS! And he's fighting with the bartender...and losing! Oh Good Grief...what is wrong with all these sims!?
Finally, everyone is starting to get home and settle in for the evening.
We finish out the night with Otis being freaked out by Bucktooth and another toddler aging up in the town!
Sheree is a BOSS! She loves her motorcycle and autonomously over the years has made this her preferred vehicle. Again with the individuality of these sims. LOVE IT!
Aww, look at that! Sheree passed Jamie and Frankie on her way to work!
Meanwhile this townie is on her way to the arcade! Hey! I could have sworn today was a school day!
It's Field Trip time!
Even newly aged up Bethany Gale made it!
Umm...Thomas?? Okay...Are you trying to say something or just trying to butter up your boss?
Yay!
Some more slice of life pictures :)
And a pile up outside of our house! That truck is another one of Sheree's vehicles out there! Better call insurance!
Town news!
Ugh! It's a full moon and our house has been invaded by zombies again! Reset Sim and she's outta there! Now to get all those kids to bed!
As you can see, Jamie stayed at the gym until sunrise. Adriana was up bright and early and finally over those creepy crawlies!
The last day of summer makes for some good mother/daughter bonding time!
And creator/plumbot bonding time LOL!
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion for rotational play, but I LOVE Story Progression! Not even just nraas, the whole concept that your sims lives continue when you aren't actively playing them. It was one of the things I was most excited for when ts3 first came out! So adorable! This townie may be Jody's best friend for life!
I guess Juliana found the hotspot for all the kids on their last day of freedom!
What!!?? Why does he need Sim Finder!!?? OMG! What Is He Going Through!!??
Jamie! Sushi! I'm impressed! I had no idea your cooking skill was that high! Now if you could just get your cleaning skill to that level LOL!
Method felt the need to absorb some energy, LOL!
And Adriana has apparently been working at the chemistry table.
Wow! A raise now! Jamie! Your career is really taking off! It's about time!
Aaand as soon as I exited to switch households for the season. Well, at least the Bright/Torrez family should be on a better track, even if Brianna clearly is still struggling!
While Jamie took care of the kids again, Adriana was back to the lab for some more work!
Maybe next time she makes a plumbot, she can sell it for actual simoleons!
Juliana took advantage of the last few days of summer and met up with friends in town! Aww...look at the Kyle practicing piano at the Java Hut! And LOL! Even Petunia Pollack is there!
Oh no! The creepy crawlies! Poor Adriana! She understandably refused to work anymore for the day.
Just an adorable picture of Juliana playing catch with Jodi McAlister!
As you can see, I HAD to jump into the Gibbs household for a minute to fix Shayne's hair LOL!
Looks like some Autmn Salad for dinner tonight!
Jamie was off to the gym after completing an opportunity for work. Gotta keep earning those promotions!
I was afraid of this. Alyson may be a collector, but even her earnings from her collectables is nothing compared to the money Jess earns with her painting. And Alyson's photography career has definitely stagnated. I hope she figures something out because it's going to be sim years still before I get to her household!
Just an Intimate (get your mind outta the gutter!) Gathering
It's a slow morning on Leisure Day. While these sims still like to tie one on once in a while, most holidays are quieter with smaller gatherings now that many of them have settled down and started families. So realistic. Anyway, after a few chores and a good breakfast, Method stayed home with the kids while Jamie and Adriana hosted a beach party!
Not surprisingly Harold was the first to arrive and he and Jamie immediately ran off to have a private conversation while Adriana waited for the rest of their guests to arrive.
It was just a small intimate gathering of close friends. The Gibbs were there and the Jones's, Baldwins and Gale's. And of course, they didn't rent the place out so there were a fair number of townies and tourists who showed up as well.
Overall, it was a beautiful day for a beach party! Oh gosh, Adriana!!! No! No more fantasizing about Thomas!!!
Sims came and went, more sims visited the beach and left, but Jamie stayed late into the night!
Oh no! Oh Shayne! Bahahaha! First off, Happy Birthday! Secondly, that hairstyle does NOT fit your personality! But hey! At least it isn't pig tales!
That babysitter doesn't look too sure about being in the same room with Method! Poor Method! Maybe the sitter is just a technophobe or something.
The sun is rising and all the zombies are transforming back into sims...but they won't leave!
I thought at first they were stuck, but nope! They just hung around talking, the guy in the blue even started randomly doing the Smustle when one of them randomly set down a radio for a minute! What in the world!? I finally sent Jamie out to tell them to quit partying and just leave! Of course, Armando WAS there. What an icon...maybe he's the reason everyone was partying LOL!
Everyone finally cleared out and Adriana decided to take Frankie for a little walk.
Juliana had fun playing with her imaginary friend on the slide!
**Ooops! I see a part of the Baldwin's wall that I forgot to recolor when Brianna added a bedroom and play area to their attic!**
Adriana took Frankie home and what's this!? Yeeaahh...My bad...I obviously forgot to take a picture! Adriana made her first Plumbot! His name is Method and I don't normally play with bots and supernaturals, but you know what? Adriana IS in the robotics career, and Shorty DID have an alien baby in St. Bernie, so she's keeping him!
Just a normal night. Adriana with the help of Method got the kiddos all ready for bed while Jamie earned a promotion at work. This is great news! Maybe they'll actually be able to afford taxes this year! I sold off some inventory already so they can pay bills, but with both adults earning promotions and the ability to make plumbots to sell hopefully these two are finally reaching the point of financial stability...fingers crossed!
Financial stability because...yeah...Jamie and Harold are STILL harboring secret feelings for each other. No matter how many sims I try to set Harold up with, he has never entered into a relationship, but Jamie still shows no signs of wanting to break up his relationship with Adriana for him. I guess I'll just continue to let them decide what they want to do and see what happens in the end.
Oh gosh, Jamie! Who are you lecturing to in the middle of the night!? Just go home and get some sleep! LOL!
We're already up to the Bright/Torrez household and so far Jamie and Adriana are still engaged which is honestly surprising to me, but with now two children since the last time I've been through their household I think they're really trying to keep the family together.
Though neither of them seems to be too monogamous in their romantic life. If it's working for now, I guess it's working...just as long as they don't break up any otherwise happy couples with their antics.
Jamie is in charge of childcare today! It's summer so no school for Julianna and Frankie has some skills to learn!
Yay! One more toddler now able to walk!
Meanwhile, Adriana was down at the Science Center earning a promotion! She's still only making 60 Simoleons a week! Yikes! But hey, every little bit helps and hopefully she'll be able to build and sell plumbots soon!
Thomas Jones is off work and spending time playing games before heading home. He's been having a time of it lately in his career. I really worry that he's going to get fired!
What's this!? No! Adriana! He's already at a crisis point in his life, PLEASE don't break up his marriage! Oh no! I really hope this doesn't progress. Thomas and Corinna were our first wedding in Redwood Harbor! And they have three children!
Maybe it was just the full moon. Fingers crossed. Anyway, we'll blame the full moon for this too!
Well that seemed to cause an unnecessary amount of damage...facepalm! This family is already struggling the last thing they need is to replace half their kitchen!
Ugh even with insurance that took most of their summer budget, but they have to be able to cook. I sure hope they can pay bills this week! After a delayed dinner it was off to bed for Adriana and the kids, but the full moon had Jamie feeling restless.
Oh man, please don't get bit!
Phew! Nope! Just off for a bath fully clothed and then a change into formal wear...facepalm...gotta love full moons!
Well at least Jamie was feeling lucky through all that chaos. Maybe he should have bought a lottery ticket tonight...Simgods know they could use winning the jackpot!
And in one last bit of town news, another toddler has aged into a child!
Ah Cats...Always bringing home "presents" for their owners...I started with 8 households. That first rotation took only 2 sim years. But their lives have been unfolding. Sims moving out on their own, sims settling down and starting families. This rotation I have 16 households! I'm amazed Majora Gibbs is still alive and Kip is one of her babies! I honestly don't know if he'll be around by the next time I get back to the Gallo household. Of course, I don't know that anything will be the same at all! Just musing about how fast life goes...both in game and in reality.
Clark is hard at work today I see...LOL!
Brianna must have heard Reggie is on the market again and is trying her luck...This is years past being healthy at this point.
Oh gosh girl...have you ever thought that maybe backing off and not continually chasing/harassing your love interests would work better than being a creeper?? You know...let them chase you for a change? And if they don't, move right along...
Just another night in the Gallo household. Edith has gone to work and Clark is home playing games.
After a rocky start, it looks like Rayne is finally finding her writing niche and an audience!
Now this surprised me...Joanna! She's one of the most responsible sims in rotation!
Oh greeaat...A full moon to end our week with the Gallo's and Clark hired a sitter and ran off to the Torrez/Bright household for a party! Facepalm...
