A New Outlook on Life

Oh, Boy! Another new baby and some more stalking followed up by some rebound canoodling! Andrew, get it together dude!

With town drama out of the way, it's back to our actual household!

Just a little skill building to start the new day.

And a whole new lighting mod! I know I hinted at this weeks ago, and here we finally are! I started testing out different lighting mods for the remainder of my time in St. Bernie. I've been using Fresh Cut Day by @brntwaffles with @gelinagelina's Lighting Tweaks, but had been toying with the idea of using different lighting for different world play throughs.

Up first is the BEAUTIFUL Sims 3 Beta Lighting Mod by @boringbones. Seriously! It looks like I have some Reshade or HD mod going on, it is so clear and bright and the shadows are absolutely gorgeous!

Along with testing new lighting mods, I installed Tree and Plant Replacements (also by boringbones); Reworked And Improved EA Lights by simsi45; More Light Coming Through Windows by Blyss; the Electrical Storm Mod by @mathmodder; and TS3 HD Texture Series-Terrain Pack by @greenplumbboblover.

And here we are! It's a sunny spring day, perfect for a trip to the town plaza to meet up with Gerald!

I can't get over how crisp everything looks!

Hey! We're outside in the sun and you can ACTUALLY see Simili's face! She's not all washed out or too dark to distinguish! I haven't gone for Reshade or Gshade yet, because my main focus is gameplay and I've always been a little afraid that keeping either of those programs going in the background would cause my usually smooth gameplay to stutter or crash so for me and my screenshots, this lighting mod is seriously game changing. I couldn't stop zooming around looking at everything!

Simili has been waiting for a while here...where is Gerald?

Of course it did...Well, this doesn't exactly bode well for their relationship, now does it?

Guess it's back home for Simili...I wonder what was so important for Gerald anyway?

Oh look...protesting healthcare in the ocean...seems a logical place for that! Facepalm...

At least he's got principles I guess, maybe he's concerned about how much the medical bills will be for the birth of that baby...Still doesn't explain the location, but you know...Sims...

I went to see what was going on at the City Park. How adorable! Pablo is teaching little Stevie to talk! In his pajamas, that I discovered from this point on he was always wearing LOL! And who's that? Guy Summersville and one of his dogs playing drums dressed as a robot? Again with the Sims logic! Bahahaha!!

Oh wait! I hear some commotion!

Who is that!!?? Never a dull moment in St. Bernie!

O...M...G!! Bahahahaha! A burglar and a mime!!?? Why is this so funny to me?!

Nothing like a couple of random townies brawling in the park! This, right here, is the beauty of an open world with story progression! I don't even know who these two are and neither Simili, nor Barky was even here today! This is just what was randomly going on in the park while my sims are doing whatever they're doing! Same with the protest Gerald was attending! This is the best part of TS3, there is ALWAYS something going on somewhere in town!

This Last One's a Doozy!

I finally managed to put in a lifeguard chair at the beach, yay! Also...I've finally made it to the end of round one in St. Bernie! Here we are with our last household, the Williams and I am DREADING it! I had no idea what my SP would get me into when I added this nice little bin family to my playable population, but as you may recall, in the Snooty rotation Aimee gave birth to triplets!!! And that's on top of Malika, who is a toddler when they are first loaded and son Myles. So...They have two toddlers and three infants and I am certain I'm going to lose my mind keeping them all happy this round!

Right outta the gate! Yes! Does this mean you've been earning lots of money writing, Marley? Please let this mean you have lots of money stashed away! Your family lives in a pretty small two bedroom with only one crib for all those kids!

No such luck...How about inventory...anyone got anything of worth??

Of course not...facepalm! Ugh, what am I going to do!!??

Just look at little Malika! She is BEGGING you guys to get a bigger house!

Aimee looks a little over this cute cottage too...

Yeah, I might have to actually intervene in this situation. Don't worry, I'm not letting you off that easy though! I'll float you a loan, but you'll have to pay it back every tax season to keep gameplay as realistic as possible!

Poor little Martina, just laying in the middle of the kitchen waiting to get tripped over!

Okay, I'll take a hint. While you divy up time in the crib and take shifts sleeping and apply for that loan while you watch Freddie next door try to rescue Nickolas from the hail (geeze, Martina doesn't have it so bad by the looks of this!) I'll do some searching around for a good-sized family home!

Huzzah! Success! Now get those kids inside before the social worker gets called or something!

The poor babysitter is completely overwhelmed! I don't blame you, but...

Myles is starved for food and sleep!

Hey! Kizzy has earned a promotion! And Billy Bob is now a toddler!

Marley and Aimee split childcare responsibilities when they got home from work and crawled into bed completely exhausted after that eventful day, but I have a feeling they'll be getting a lot more rest now that all the children have a proper place to sleep and there's room for them to grow!

All is quiet here at the end of our first night with the Williams's.

It's a Good Thing She's a Family Sim

Yep! There's definitely a baby alien hybrid on the way and Shorty doesn't seem too thrilled. Don't mind the green mist right at his crotch Bahahahaha!! My screenshot skills on display again LOL! Facepalm...I swear it was by his belly button when I hit the camera button!

OMG This guy!!! Grr!! Jasmine! How are you okay with this treatment!!?? You deserve better!! Also, part of the reason I'm building her mixologist skill because not only do I suspect they'll eventually break up, I REALLY hope for her sake and the kids, they do.

Aaand yes...she is officially pregnant as well, so as sad as her life is I guess at least she's on her way to fulfilling her family sim lifetime wish, because yeah...If they break up, Jasmine's going to take custody of all the kids, alien included.

Just another normal day after that. Both Jasmine and Shorty were off to donate organs, mail carrier throwing their mail on the ground (and no, this wasn't because the dog chased him off, Brooks wasn't around), and the babysitter providing questionable care for little Ephraim.

Wow! Big surprise Shorty has coworkers who don't like him. And POOR Jasmine! This girl can't catch a break!

Shorty being the A-hole that he is got mad at Jasmine for trying to cheer him up after a hard day at work and began to berate her yet AGAIN in front of Ephraim. I have never been so tempted in my gameplay to arrange an "accident", but in an effort to let my Sims use their free will I just allowed them to work it out themselves. I'm just ready to be done with my time in this household :(

Aaaand she's still trying to be romantic with him.

Thank you for sharing that Kizzy! I needed something crazy or cheerful after the day I've had following this household!

Aww...what better way to end a bummer of a day than with an adorable doggo!

Unexpected Weight Gain

Jasmine ran to the bathroom first thing...uh oh...did something happen before I got to the household, or was it that risky woohoo she initiated after another spat with Shorty?

Alright Ephraim! And another happy memory for Jasmine too!

I don't remember quite what was in the newspaper, but there are some ne notifications to read!

Andrew and Angela are hooking up now, the neighborhood dogs seem to all be getting it on with each other, and ... oh dear! Facepalm. I don't usually play with aliens or supernaturals, but it is St. Bernie after all. And the namesake of the world was the eldest of my friend's zany family. I feel like if an alien pregnancy were to fit in any of my current saves, this would be it.

It was leisure day and Shorty was off to yet another party, this time at Korey and Wanda's place. Looks like he's having a good time eating hot dogs.

And getting into fights again.

They really can't afford it, but there was a discount class on mixology. I was thinking Jasmine could try to up her skill in mixology enough to one day bring home tips as a side hustle.

I am LOVING those faces!

Poor Jasmine WAS up all night and was so tired she ignored the crowd and performance and immediately took a nap outside when her class was finished.

Just a quiet rest of the Leisure Day.

Why not end the festivities with a lovely picnic that randomly spawned. And the dog, (Brooks) who is pulling his best "I'm a good boy" face to mooch some of that food!

[expirisims]

More Sims to Move!

With Korey making inappropriate forum posts and Wanda leveling up after deciding it's better to wear clothes for cooking, it's time to let these two be until round two! Now back to the main house to move Angela and the twins out!

Kasey won't be there to say goodbye, though. She's in need of some cheering up and the best remedy seems to be a date with Garth.

Aww...They're so cute!

Bye Angela! I hope you love the little house I'm moving you to! And don't worry, once summer comes it will be Korey's season with the twins. Until then, he better be keeping up with his child support payments!

The house seems so quiet and empty with the most dramatic sims moved out. Oh look, it looks like Korey managed to break the computer before moving out. LOL! That's so Korey, he's such a jerk of a sim!

There's finally room for a pillow fight now! Kizzy and Trish are probably the closest out of all the roommates.

Kasey finished up her date. Looks like she worked up quite the appetite with all that PDA!

Poor little Snowball having nightmares about fires after all the chaos of the past week.

Aww...How sweet!

Just that darn Freezer Bunny Gnome again! And one last task bright and early in the morning before we say goodbye to the Malloy Household...

Uh oh! Looks like some of my sims are going to be paying back taxes next year!

And then I got a notification...

Aww...He may be a jerk, but he does actually love the twins. In that expensive house though, I wonder how long this will keep up!

[expirisims]

Well the House was Already Cooked Anyway

Bright and Early the next morning and it looks like everyone is off to work like they weren't all just about killed by a meteor the night before! Well almost everyone! Come on Angela and Korey! You've got to earn your keep too!

That's more like it. Hmm...I wonder what kind of sport he plays with those amazing boots? LOL! I can't wait until the next round when everyone gets to have their makeovers and I get rid of some of these randomized outfit choices. I do it to myself (well my sims) honestly, LOL!

Woohoo Kizzy!

It's the end of the workday already and Wanda is HUNGRY! Off to cook some mac and cheese.

Oh gosh, I was just realizing at this point that the house didn't entirely escape damage. Just look at that door!

And the now the rest of the kitchen! Oh no! Wanda!!! Also, PLEASE don't die!! You'll see in the upcoming play throughs that one of my towns has been having several accidental deaths! I have been holding my breath every time my sims do ANYTHING now I don't want to lose any sims in any other play throughs!

Well I guess at least the house was already damaged...and we have a literal gold mine in our yard to help pay for repairs!

Wait...What!!?? Not again!! And the dog too!!?? What happened with poor Lawerence now???

O M G Story Progression...WHY??? These two have a super strong father/ son bond! What in the actual heck!!??

Angela wasted no time when she got home packing up one of the babies to take to the family rec center. And she met an adorable stray dog! This guy could be a great addition to the family if she can get it to trust her enough!

Wanda and Trish had a small spat, but put their differences aside to cheer on Kizzy while she played bass for the neighborhood.

Angela in the meantime ditched her kid somewhere in the rec center and headed straight to the dance sphere...Good luck, you've already gotten stuck in the elevator!

Everyone else wound down for the night and where was Angela in the wee hours of the morning?

Girl, I knew you'd get sick or hurt riding that thing! Poor Angela!

[expirisims]

Welcome to the Chaos

Welcome to the Malloy household! As you may have guessed by looking at all the cheating and back and forth these four sims have gone through, this house is absolute chaos!

Just your average family, spoiled mac and cheese on the counter, kids on the floor, everyone's mad at the tv, and the dog is out of food.

And Korey (who seems to be the root of all the trouble) is fighting with our head of household Kasey. Kasey is with Korey's old roommate, Garth, now but, these two had a quick fling while I was in the Lum household. More like he ditched a pregnant Angela to get with her for a day and then moved on to Wanda, another household member!

Trish, gets along with everyone and Wanda and Kizzy mostly do as well. I haven't quite figured out who to move where yet, but it's pretty clear that by the end of this rotation, this household needs to be split up.

In the meantime, I got rid of the double bed in Angela's room so at least everyone will have their own bed. Even though I'm sure Wanda isn't crazy about Korey sharing a room with Angela, it's better than him sharing a bed with her! I was just finishing up when I heard the noise I dread most in my game...

No, no, no, no!!! Then ENTIRE neighborhood is running over! No! Go home everyone!!! Oh geeze! I really hope I don't lose any sims tonight!!

And there it is...Leaving a huge crater in my pretty yard, BUT at least the house is intact, and most importantly, no one was harmed.

Now to collect some space rocks and sell them for profit...muahahahaha!

Kasey looks DONE with the night and everyone else just went to bed, so I guess that'll have to wait until tomorrow. In hindsight, this was actually good luck, the extra money will help me divi up the household at the end of the rotation.
