I Honestly Didn't Even Know that Was a Part of the Game
Aww...Kip had a cute little lizard in his inventory. He took it out to play, but I think I'll see how much Lori can get for it. She's in need of Simoleons after all.
OMG What!!?? He ATE it!!! How did I not even remember that being a part of the game!!?? I've literally NEVER seen this before! Poor little pixel lizard! Wow! I guess I'll have to keep a closer eye on cat's inventories now if I'm planning to sell caught animals!
Just casually licking his butt after eating that little lizard! Typical cat!
Now curling up next to Lori! Aww...they're so close!
Lori DID have work today, so I woke her up early enough to collect some (Erm a lot! She has close to 2,000 simoleons of unpaid bills due in a couple of days, okay?) of that produce before her shift.
Just checking in on some of the pregnancies around town. I'm going to have to get some cribs in homes pretty soon! Speaking of cribs, I got a popup that Angela and Korey's twins aged up...and they were bald. Oh no, we can't have that!
Much better! This means the Lum twins will also be aging up within the next day...fingers crossed neither is bald!
Way to go Guy! I'm kind of bummed it wasn't enough to get you a promotion, but you've got to be close!
Milo is sure after some attention this morning!
Chico is busy digging holes around the yard. I should complain, but these dogs have been earning their keep with all the valuable collectables they seem to find! I should have taken a screenshot because she had enough rocks and gems in her inventory to add 3,000 Simoleons to the family coffers! Good Girl!
Oh gosh! Everyone wants to go for a walk!
Oh lort! I am stoked that these two are expecting because I love them both and love them as a couple. I just wonder what hair color that kid is going to get cursed with though!
Isaiah as per usual was made using randomization so he's prematurely gray and Lori (who was made about 8 years ago now) has hair inspired by a bad dye job. That poor kid!
What!!??? I'm pretty sure my sp is set to a minimum of six month (10 sim day) engagements, so how did this happen? They got engaged while I was in rotation with them! Oh well, time to pose a new wedding album I guess :)
Just some wholesome family play. Bella is cooking while the dogs beg her for morsels.
Guy read a parenting book when he got home from work and then got a work out in...in a scarf and cardigan no less...facepalm.
Oh look! Freddie got promoted! Maybe he can afford his child support payments now.
What!!!??? NO!!!!!! They JUST got engaged and JUST found out they're expecting a baby! Tell me it isn't so! Oh, this one hurts...
Just getting back some of the goodies Chico dug up.
Really?? Ugh! Lady, just leave us alone!
Aww...some spontaneous flirting broke out when Bella went back inside.
And we end our time with the Summersvilles with Joy, next door at the Community Garden begging for treats from Andrew.
It's that Time of Year Again...No not that One...Tax Time
We begin Spring with everyone's favorite time of the year...Tax collection.
And refunds for some lucky Sims, so I guess it's not ALL bad!
Oh hey! Lori got promoted! Hopefully that means I won't have to spend my next rotation with her dumpster diving for extra cash!
Okay, finally on to the Socialby household! With Bella married and moved out, there's only Simili and little dog Barky left.
Fun fact. Simili is named after the Simself I made waaay back when the Sims Social was on Facebook (Meta). Get it? Simili Socialby?? LOL! Anyway, you may have noticed I'd changed up her look when I made her for TS3, but I kept the name.
Simili is currently preggers with Gerald O'Connor's child so she woke up with the want to get a massage and I obliged. In the meantime, I did...what else...checked out who else was in the area. I came across Nan Garrett in the dojo and snapped some pretty awesome screenshots if I don't say so myself! You go Nan!
Okay, the massage is done and it was off to the library to catch up on some reading.
Hmm...I feel like there are several sims in St. Bernie who could use some advice from that book, LOL!
Simili, of course, finished the book and then immediately went to flirt with Donnell Doughtery! Girl! Not only are you currently dating Gerald, but you're having his child! Have you learned nothing??!!
Barky was still at home playing toys, but Simili was starving...and I don't exactly trust her zero skill points in cooking, especially on an empty stomach so it was off to the Bistro!
Well, would you look at that! Free Desert!
OMG! Was this fight over Remi??!! I got a recent notification that Andrew was stalking her, and she's currently engaged to Brooks. I can't help but to think they were fighting over her!
This got me thinking...I better see what Simili's relationship status is with Gerald considering she was flirting with Donnell earlier in the day. Exploring their options...hmm...I'm not sure what to make of that. Maybe she's just not that into him, although they've been back together for nearly nine Sim months. Maybe tomorrow she should give him a call and invite him out so I can better see the dynamics of their relationship.
I see you Isaiah...Love em and leave em...well at least run off in the morning. Guess you're not getting your pats this morning Kip! I wonder where Isaiah's off to?
OMG! Are you serious!!?? Maybe he was trying to help Lori pay next week's bills LOL!
I am exactly 99% certain that Lori had some waffles cooking before taking off to work...
Yep...Thank goodness for smoke detectors!
Oh no!! With Lori hustling so much all week to pay those bills I knew she wasn't spending much time with Kip, but I didn't know it was this serious!!
Okay, I know I haven't been on here in a several days...life is super hectic as per usual! Anyway, here we are back with Lori for Spooky Day. I found her autonomously digging through her trash and that gave me an idea! What better day to go dumpster diving in the hopes we can find something valuable enough to pay bills!
Also, woohoo! Another wedding is in the works! And another break up it seems as well.
Just a random picture of the neighborhood from Lori's dining room. If you've followed me for a while you know how obsessed I am with looking out of the windows in every world, LOL!
Yes! We can finally afford to pay bills! We've avoided the repo man for one more week at least! I got so into the game that I literally forgot to take pictures of Lori while she dumpster diving at the Sports Bar across town. But that's okay, after all that stinky work, she deserves a little fun.
Time for another date night! Hmm...I wonder who else is at the dance club tonight?
Tom Garrett!! Didn't see that one coming! I wonder if Wanda's going to order whatever Brooks is eating? And Angela must have needed a break from the twins. I have a feeling she hires babysitters a lot!
Oh boy! Not only have the Lum twins aged up, but there's a new little bundle of joy on the way for Simili and Gerald! Gosh I'm hoping it's not another twin situation, with so many babies being born, I don't know how St Bernie will be able to house the next generation!
Oh boy...are these two next?
Isaiah seems to be having more fun than he did on the last date LOL, but Lori wants to ensure she's blowing his mind tonight...
I'd tell them to be careful, but it looks like Lori's already got that in mind...Or maybe Isaiah is really into the full parka look for romance...with these two, who knows? LOL!
Welcome to the next household in the playthrough. The Redden Household. Wait?? Didn't I just get done with that household?
Weeelll, originally, Lori was living with her cousin Shorty and his girlfriend, Jasmine, but even SHE couldn't take it and SP moved her out pretty much at the beginning of the playthrough. I freaking LOVE Lori! She's unique to say the least. Like Jasmine, she is a klepto, but she's also neurotic and talks to herself frequently. Her look is inspired by those of us who've tried and failed at bleaching our hair at home. You know what I'm talking about, making the mistake of applying bleach to your scalp first so the end result is platinum roots and carrot colored length? Yeah...that's NEVER happened to me before...clears throat. Anyway, Lori is a ton of fun when she's not working and she has a super cute cat, Kip, so enjoy!
Cats and dogs are great for catching animals and sniffing out collectables...not so great for keeping furniture looking nice. Even the park bench isn't safe!
Just an average morning of ice cream for breakfast and yelling at herself in the mirror. All while rocking her formal wear of course.
Kip meanwhile is engaged in battle with some kind of little creature. It got away, lucky animal!
Oh Gawd Lori! PLEASE be careful! You don't have any handiness skills and I'm still mourning the loss of a couple of sims in one of my upcoming playthroughs!
Phew! She's safe! And Kip is making friends with a random townie. Hmm...this gives me an idea. Like many of my households, Lori is near broke and doesn't have much in her inventory. However, she lives pretty much behind the community garden so maybe she can collect and sell some produce!
Lori happens to be off work tonight (She's in the Criminal Career) so I thought I'd send her on a date with her boyfriend, Isaiah Gage! I absolutely LOVE these two together! They're both eccentric in their own ways, they make the perfect couple! They're the St. Bernie version of Reggie and Brianna in a way though they're nothing like Reggie or Brianna.
Aww...not bad for being exhausted! Don't worry Isaiah, we'll try another date by the end of my time with Lori. Just promise to wear a shirt next time LOL!
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!
