Sims Flashback Challenge

Rules: There aren’t any rules, just snap a photo of two sims, one recent and one of the oldest you can find and post it! Tag it #simsflashbackchallenge and @lovelysimies so I can see your progress!

I was tagged by:@kaylynn-langerak

The above shots were taken from my very first story update of The Higgs in December 2008. Has it really been that long?

Here's The Higgs now in 2022, after reinstalling my game several years later, and restarting with generation 2 as teens again (they were YA where I left off). I try to keep everything as close to the original as possible, so it's like I just pressed pause for awhile.

I don’t know who to tag, since I recently came back after a long hiatus. So consider yourself tagged, or say that I tagged you.

Here we go again! Just to give me some peace of mind, I've uninstalled the game, and will now reinstall all 21 discs. *crosses fingers*

I forgot to turn off my antivirus software when installing the last time, and one disc gave a prompt that it might not have installed correctly. Happy Holiday Stuff also gives that same prompt, so I just ignored it (and it's been in the back of my mind ever since). [ETA] Every disc installed correctly, including Happy Holiday!!!

Justin is a flirt, and likes to see how far he can push it while still staying under the radar from his parents.

"Oh, sure. Just take it all, why don't ya?", Atlas mused.

Cindy rolled her eyes, "It's exactly the same as the one that you're eating.". She thought this was silly, childish behavior.

"Kids these days.", Robert chuckled.

Katrina saw some of her friends hanging out after school, and decided to hit Justin up about prom "I was wondering if you're... umm... if you've asked anyone...". "If it's about the prom, he's already going with someone.", Atlas butted in.

"Yep, sorry. My dance card is full.", Justin replied. "Right, of course. I was just thinking that maybe going with a friend might be a good idea.". Katrina felt silly, she knew he was most likely going with Atlas, but figured it was at least worth a shot.

Justin looked Atlas dead in the eye and asked, "Would you run away with me to a remote island if you could? Hypothetically speaking, of course.".

"Of course. I'd go to the ends of the SimEarth for you, hypothetically speaking.", Atlas smiled.

"It would be nice.", Justin pondered for a moment, "To just be free, and open about everything. No more sneaking around.".

"Everything will change when we start Uni.", Atlas assured him.

The Klines bought a pool table for their patio, and the boys spent much of Saturday playing. Justin made his winning shot, and proudly declared, "You owe me $50.".

"That's not fair, you can practice anytime.", Atlas protested.

"That's how you hustle. Now, cough it up.", Justin joked. "Hey, if we keep practicing like this, we could go downtown and make some serious cash.".

[ETA] I gave Atlas some new eyes, and I'm really happy that he can make expressions like this now.

"We should get some some cool clothes, and go out like this some time.". Justin felt like a badass, and wanted to spring it on the world.

"I think I need a little more practice first.". Atlas took a deep breath, "You clearly have more more experience with this stuff.".

"Nonsense! You look fucking adorable. You're just going for a different look is all". Justin tried boosting his confidence, but he also meant every word.

Atlas headed toward the bed, "I think I'm going to call it a night.".

"You know, you really shouldn't go to bed with all that makeup on.".

"I know,", Atlas sighed, "I'm beat though.".

Still plugging along on the Super6 Roadside Motel. I merged some of the rooms, and it's mostly furnished now, with the exception of the front office/check-in. Average sized rooms for a mid-century era motel, and most units have kitchenettes - this isn't luxury lodging by any means though.
