Chloe Curious is pregnant with Buzz Grunt's baby.
I had nothing to do with it, apart from allowing unmarried TFB on ACR.
My jaw is still on the floor.

For some reason, Chloe and Buzz are naturally crazy for each other. I guess he secretly loves aliens and she secretly loves buzz cut hair...or something.

I've tried to keep them apart before, but they're 3 bolters naturally. It's difficult.

Oh yeah, he was one of the people to welcome the Singles when I moved them in, and he immediately started to hit on her. I refuse to believe that the devs didn't do this deliberately.
PT9 currently wants a grandkid, he's going to be so conflicted that his first one will be fathered by his mortal enemy.

Mr Silke is a bit of a mess after getting himself electrocuted. I have no idea what he was doing since his wife was giving birth to twins in the orchard at the same time.

Mr Silke now wants to gain a mechanical skill point.

I've had a series of alien abductions in my neighbourhood. Evidently one of the PTs in my multi-PT set is much more fertile than the others so I have a large number of half-alien siblings. This is going to complicate things when they start dating.

Making the full Brooks family, so I can play around with them for Christmas photos (not that I've run out of ideas for the main family, but I really do want a bunch of family portraits, and I finally had some inspiration - Apart from a few, they've mostly been living inside my head, so best get them out while I'm in the mood to poke at them XD )

And also getting ideas. A couple (yep) kind of appeared out of the blue, so now I finally have an idea for something I was wondering what to do about (mainly a scene or two). Sometimes story gets made along the way

I'm currently working on my super uberhood (all Maxis neighborhoods + the recreated Sims Stories neighborhood by the Hood Building Group) and am done with my first week in all the Maxis neighorhoods and have now added Four Corners. I actually didn't read up on the Life Stories plot before I started, so my story and characters changed quite a bit.
Riley Harlow, the protagonist, received 100.000 Simoleons next to the house from her aunt Sharon to set her up for life. Sharon Foss is part of the upper class which mainly consists of the Goths, Montys, Capps, DeBateaus and Nigmos-Specters. So moving in these circles, Sharon met Antonio Monti who she fell for and now has a child with, Bernadette Foss. Meanwhile Riley had the life time wish of climbing the medical career track (in canon she works in entertainment which I didn't know at the time of playing) and one day brought home Kent Capp. They quickly fell for one another and just got married. My happy little accident of not looking deeper into the Life Stories plot before playing has now lead to further possible conflict as Riley and her aunt and cousin will be on opposing sides. Will they get dragged into it or can they keep their good relationship with one another? I don't know.

I found I had one of those "gap walls" due to the roof being against it. (Where in neighbourhood view it appears the wall is missing). So, I decided to fix it, when I placed the new roof it did this:


Ooops.

Also ignore the fat house, I'll fix that another time it was a rush build to fit a family of 8.

Also, my latest build is showing up my other builds in neighbourhood view, I mean:


It stands out pretty badly.

But, I think I'm getting the hang of building all my own lots. (No pre-made lots, or sims!):


It looks okay in my opinion! And makes the others look crap, so I'll end up rebuilding them.

Anyhow, in the hood itself we're now onto Generation 2 having their children. They grow up so fast! I have to keep building to keep up with them.

oopsie daisy Don .. ya'll shoulda went indoors
Don had a want to go on a date.. so I had him call up Nina .. she'd barely arrived and they were havin a pillow fight when who comes strollin along .... hahahahaha ...

Mess with my man will ya! (This was the 2nd time she did this in 1 day)

Due to a (not serious) knee injury requiring meds, I was falling asleep while playing today. Coffee seemed a good idea, so I made some, then walked (or hopped) around a bit, then drank more coffee, then went back to playing.

Where I found all 5 of the Appleby family members passed out, hungry, dirty, in various stages of aspiration failure. And I almost saved the game before I quit too - but, fortunately, I remembered not to save (thank you, Coffee).

Which was a signal that I had to go to bed and read a book until tomorrow or the day after.
