Henry Jr got married





And Marnie is pregnant. YAY



Apparently there is more fire/heat in Henry's loins than in the fire pit. Okay.



For their honeymoon, Henry and Marnie went to Granite Falls (Where else) and they brought Huey. (You can buy a dog bowl at the supplies center in Granite falls) This was a great experience to have Huey along, and Marnie got to know Henry's dog, which is now their dog. After they returned home, Marnie adopted a kitten.

Also I'm pretty sure sims won't woohoo when a pet is in the room...

It took some time, but Vlad was able to repair his relationship with Kelsey and soon professed his undying love. They eloped. Vlad V was born shortly thereafter. Victoria wasn't too happy about the new arrival but Vlad was over the moon, and has been a surprisingly good parent. Then we experienced a series of unfortunate events. He was invited to the Romance Festival by Lilith Vitore and even though he shouldn't have accepted, he was super thirsty and it was almost dark anyway. So he left his wife and newborn baby at home. Turns out, it wasn't as dark as he thought when he got there, and instead of going home or getting indoors, he drank deeply from the first sim that he saw and, well, he died. His sister came by to pick his urn and he's now buried out front.

Kelsey was pretty upset. She's been figuring out a way to bring him back to life ever since. Little Vlad aged up and is pretty cute. He has his mother's blonde hair, skin, and nose (thank goodness!), red eyes, and his father's long face. He's naughty, though. His mom spends a lot of time reading and collecting things in order to bring his dad back, so Aunt Victoria (who is now a Grand Master like her brother was) takes care of him. She hopes to mold him into the most powerful vampire yet.


Victoria showing off her Dark Form.


Kelsey as a new vampiress.

The cutest thing; Huey was being affectionate with the new kitten and Marlie freaked out at the cuteness



The next amazing thing happened. I never do hospital births, but I made an exception this time. Why? Because Henry Jr's dad is the doctor! Daniel delivered his own grandson! Hell I was excited by that! I created Daniel myself so I really like him.





Henry Jr and Marlie are pretty excited to have their first child, Damien.

With the week so far being a mad dash to get me ready to watch the house and make sure Gemini is fed, my real life is getting in the way of a supposed life.

But I would probably put Adam and Jamie into careers fitting for their Lifetime Wish to be Renaissance Sims so anything involving handiness to be helpful.

Dana might get back to his stand up and I would casually explore the town in cosplay.

The Matsuno brothers will search for jobs fitting for each personality.

I will eventually make the Four Sailor Guardians from the first Arc who accompanied Sailor Moon.

But I am tired from today. I better rest for tomorrow.

Um, so there i was just innocently playing my game when it notified me that the cat Gacy (She was adopted with that name) was going into labour. UM WHAT? Gacy only aged up to adult 4 days ago, I didn't even KNOW she was pregnant. And the father? MAYOR WHISKERS. Apparently, because my cat likes to wander at night, she got herself knocked up by Mayor Whiskers.




OOPS.
Soooo let this be a lesson to you folks, always spay and neuter your pets, both in real life and in the sims!

Reminds me of my cat Minnie (IRL)! I got her when she was about 5 months old and she ended up being pregnant. She had 6 kittens! I always tell everyone she was a teen mom.

A lot. That's what has been happening. Basically, Vlad was resurrected. Little Vlad developed a little schoolyard crush (and made a few enemies, too) before aging up. His parents had another baby, Aleksandra, who is now a toddler. Victoria went on a date with Caleb Vitore, her brother's mortal enemy. Vlad got his butt chewed for making the baby cry.

LOL oh dear. Welll, I didn't even know this was a thing in the game. I thought Gacy had to have another male cat in the house that she had a good relationship with, and they had to be encouraged to mate. She never even showed any signs of being in heat... she just suddenly was pregnant! Anyway the kittens have been transferred to a new home, as a pair, so they'll always have each other. :lovestruc For some reason though, my cats eyes are glitching and I cant change them. Same thing happened with male children a while back...

That's so random, I love it.

"Forgive me, Father Wright, for I have sinned...and I lost count."

I committed that common "marry a celebrity" sin. In this case, I made my simself with my screen name, Panda Queen to be more with the "keep to your username" rule.

Panda married Grant Imahara and she had sextuplet boys. They take after their daddy. They bear the names of the Matsuno sextuplets. Eldest son Osomatsu is an independent toddler, second oldest Karamatsu is a charmer, third oldest Choromatsu is Inquisitive, fourth oldest Ichimatsu is something of a crybaby, fifth eldest Jushimatsu is silly and baby Todomatsu is Angelic.

Grant is trying to bond with his sons, but his sons toddle off and he tried reading to Osomatsu, but it's chaos with six toddlers and their mother doing her best to keep them in sight.

Todomatsu was a bit of a crybaby because he wasn't having fun, so Panda, being the best she can be, played with Todomatsu and he felt better with a gentle shakedown, toss in the air, piggy back and flying spin.

Update 2017/12/02: Good thing that weerbesu still had their UI mod. I was given a threat by Social Services in written and musical sting form.

I cheat to put the odds into my favor. I also never correct mistakes in my favor.

Not as much to write in overly done details this update. Image taking stops short of Bailee's birthday as it seemed a good cut off point!


Romance blossoms, wrinkles form and drool overtakes the household!

Warning: 25 Images Long!!

Henry Jr and Marnie's son Damien aged to toddler. Ugh, hes so cute. His dad's skin tone is #5, his mom is 15, he's at #10, so its nice to see he's not as light as his dad not as dark as his mom, but a lovely mix of the two.





He got his mom's nose, dads eyes and chin. (I checked what he'd look like as a young adult )

Unfortunately my game is glitching with eyes So his eyes are amber and the cats that are aging up are glitched too.

Eliza and Bob Pancakes divorced right after they had their child, Timmy Pancakes. Timmy now lives with a criminal caregiver who hates children. (wow I am evil)

Playing granddaughter Molly and her husband Orion (and their kids Rigel and Vega)



Remember a few posts ago I said I hadn't had a kid go into bear mode since I bought the pack (when it came out)? Well, this kid is in bear mode! In fact, prior to playing this family again, he'd always be moping around... perhaps wishing to be a bear all along!

And their new dog from Sixam, Sirius. Yes. Sirius.

Realised recently that I had (different household saves sometimes, but still the same game) played the same save since the year Sims 4 came out, and thought it might be about time to clear it out and start a new one. So I saved all the families and houses I wanted to keep, dumped my old saves, and started a new one. Putting my households back in takes a bit of time, of course, but it is interesting too because of various little oddities that happen.
Anyway. A weird thing that never happened before is that now the game -completely on its own- seems hellbent on creating random clubs and cramming my sims into them. As I go about fixing funds and relationships (both of which are set to base minimum with the restart - in fact some parent-child ties have disappeared entirely) I've taken to checking up on this as well, because... well... Vortigern, you are a VAMPIRE, with withered stomach AND sensitivity to sunlight - why are YOU in some random "Mixer's Club" (or was that "Mix-it Club"?), whose sole purpose apparently is mixing bar drinks and drinking bar drinks? And why is Lexa in it as well? Why is Clarke Griffin in the Angler's Club, for that matter? She barely knows how to fish at all.

Remade the Grounders' club, of course. And the Bicycle Club (kind of have to, since I'm keeping Mystia Hemlocke in my game ).

Last time I visited the Imaharas, the sextuplets were sleeping in one room, because I went nuts with blueprint mode\premade mode in build mode. I just removed the three rooms and because the rooms for the other 3 were side-by-side, I tore the walls down.

I adore Traditional Japanese domestic interior and home design. But right now, it's a kitschy love child of the dissonance of Weird Al and the mad cap visuals of Mr. Bean (Yes, same bad paint job, different house)

Update:
That awful paint job has been replaced with shoji wallpaper and the ugly flooring with tatami mats where applicable. It has come to Panda's attention that Grant needs to potty train his sons. He started with Osomatsu, the Independent son, and learned the hard way that Osomatsu was adamant about that transition. While waiting for Grant to help Osomatsu be a big boy, Panda read to the younger five.

Grant was upset and tense that the whole affair of cajoling a strong willed toddler went over like a lead balloon. (Very much aware they did a lead balloon myth during the first series)

In the Straud legacy, Little Vlad isn't so little anymore. He's a teen and Aleksandra is a child. I can tell already that Aleksandra is going to look more like her father but she's still cute, for now. Victoria married Caleb Vitore at the Straud mansion. Vlad still isn't a fan. He didn't even watch the ceremony; he was busy draining the life out of one of the caterers. Caleb yelled at him afterwards but instead of dueling, Vlad challenged him to a game of foosball?! I think he might be losing his touch. Little Vlad is now dating Alaina King.

Victoria moved in with Caleb and Lilith. They have a toddler son now, named Dean. He has Victoria's red hair. Lilith Vitore is in love with Alexander Goth, who is now grown up and a scientist and secretly gay (he had a short-lived, top-secret relationship with Malcolm Landgraab and was just asked on a date by some townie). Then I went off on a tangent and started playing around in other households.

Despite her ongoing affair with Don Lothario, Bella Goth wanted another baby from Morty, who died right as she went into labor. It was a girl, named Gracelyn. She looks a lot like Cassandra. Don moved in while Cassandra (who had been crushing on Don since she was a teen) joined her boyfriend's household in Oasis Springs (I downloaded Darren and Dirk Dreamer from the gallery). Alex Goth still lives at home with his mom, Don (whom he dislikes), and his new little sister. He is constantly embarrassed by Lilith Vitore's attraction to him yet he hasn't told her that he prefers men. Alexander Goth is actually starting to grow on me so I think I'll play him for a while. He's giving me major David Fisher (Six Feet Under) vibes.


Vladislaus Straud V as a teen. He definitely inherited his father's exaggerated features and droopy eyes, but at least he got his mom's nose!


Alexander Goth on a date with the townie he met at a club in San Myshuno. He had just been snubbed by his secret lover, Malcolm Landgraab, and was sitting at the bar alone when this guy came up and starting hitting on him! They hung out all night, and then went on this date the following day. Unfortunately, Alexander is socially awkward and confessed his attraction too soon. That, combined with the fact that someone died right in front of them on their date, made Dhruv Anand (I think that's his name?) tell Alex he never wanted to see him again. I feel kinda bad for him now.

I've had 3 sims die of hunger since the last update. So weird. Is it just me?

My game auto-added my high-level food critic sim, Umbriel Antimony, to the Upper Crusts club, and for once I actually felt that was a good match. So I had my sim go to a restaurant (another of my sims, Blanchefleur Bismuth, got the chance to create her restaurant, Carte Blanche, again, and this time it works a lot better. Still, service is waaaay to slow for a place where everyone working is a super fast vampire. ) and start a meeting, and, well... Let's just say things did not go entirely well. The club members scattered around the lot and only a few ate, so points were earned but it wasn't quite the club meeting I had imagined. So, given that of course my food critic sim is also maxed on culinary skills, I used the day off to have a gourmet meal made, drinks for all, primped up the apartment a bit, and had Umbriel start a club meeting at home.
All in all that went better - sort of. They all ate, I'm sure, just not necessarily the meal they were invited to (there was a cowplant pie in the fridge, along with a cart of ice-cream), and socialised a lot (a lot of flirting going on there, I noticed) - BUT. Oh. My. God, the musical chair madness. I have actually never had it to this extent before - this is truly insane! Even though there were the exact number of chairs at the table for the entire club, everyone kept hopping around so much that even though I'm pretty sure everyone ate something at some point, it felt like an utter failure. Ugh.
I suppose it was lucky I didn't try to combine (I'm not sure that even works?) a ceremonial dinner (that's what they're called, right?) social event with a club gathering like I wanted to.

I was gifted C&D so I decided to boot up my old buddy S4 to check it out, I've never had a Pets EP before (because I've never had a pet in RL) so it's new for me.

The day my main family loaded up on was apparently the day MCCC assigns marriage or whatever. So, before, I wasn't going to burden my elder sims with the responsibility of a pet, but then MCCC snatched their YA daughters girlfriend right from under her and married her off to some random male sim and also moved him into their 1 bedroom apartment.
I moved her back home, and had her parents graciously gift her with a Shiba pup...and then immediately go on vacation (Courtesy of this lovely mod ) without her.
I'm glad sims don't react to house maintenance, I had to get delete the porch stairs and lower the foundation of the entire house so it could go outside and poop!
It's hard not being able to see when it ages up...puppies are super boring.
Fortunately it's cute, and Daughter is in the Social Media career, I haven't taken advantage of the Simstagram thing yet, but I can smell the sweet sweet media attention already.

On another note, while I was cleaning out my old useless saves with 1-2 families on them, I accidentally deleted my only successful legacy. Rip Orlando and Co.
I want another family with the children growing up with pets so im currently working on my couples face but I spent time randomizing their children just to see what they'll look like.
Was randomizing a girl, and they all had the exact same nose as their mom, but their other features were randomizing through the parents normally, I thought there was a CC conflict for a while until I switched the child to male and the nose changed immediately to their dads! After being confused for longer than I should have. It turns out that mom and dad have the Male/Female version of the exact same nose preset.

Am I crazy? Or do these look like...completely different noses...
Still stuck on this one...

One of my sims was cooking and he was putting salt or whatever it was in the pan and threw the salt cellar up in the air and it came down and hit him on the head. I thought that was funny but my sim was very upset, and even more upset when he and the stove caught fire and another sim came and put him out. Then they were all tense for 8 whole sim hours.

Yeah male and female equivelant parts don't actually look identical, otherwise, if your teenage son got all the mom's features, he'd just look like her face was pasted onto his. I realised this when switching genders of sims I created (Temporarily in CAS, as an experiment) that the parts inherited by the opposite sex child are not identical to the parent they got them from. Only if a boy inherits all his dads features will he look like his dad is copy-pasted onto him. Thats why its always good to get a reasonable mix of male-female traits from the parents.

Not much is going on in my game... I'm still playing Orion, Molly and their kids and dog. Here is the dog Sirius doing a delicate Pirouette. Those dogs from Sixam I tells ya.

After much frustration, Grant Imahara finally got Osomatsu potty trained and it was easier with Karamatsu and Choromatsu. He's not finished because he still needs to train Ichimatsu, Jushimatsu, and Todomatsu. It was chaos getting the family of eight organized. I changed Panda Queen's look to resemble a rock slacker chick.

Eventually, I'll max the toddlers levels before I age them up to children. By the by, what are all the toddler skills and what is the max level in numericals?

This is what I was talking about when I mentioned how children who inherit their opposite sex parent's features will not get the identical features. Quinn's nose and lips stand out as being the most different, but when I switch her gender to male, masculine presenting frame, suddenly she more closely resembles her father, having his exact nose, eyes and lips. Shes basically her dad, but in feminine form, and with a narrower face.

Here are some cute things going on in my game: (God I love these frickin toddlers theyre so cute and fun)




This looks funny and I don't mean because of the dog butt! I mean who wouldnt love cuddling an enormous teddy?

Whelp, I should have known something was fishy when the vet was in the cosplayer club. In retrospect, I think it was just some gal cosplaying a veterinary.

Anyway, I took the cats to the vet be "fixed", and, well, I'm not sure she knew exactly what to take out. Seems like they got lobotomized instead.

Either that, or they lost all will to live. I mean, I would too.

For a starter, they never seem to clean themselves. I have two stinky cats going around depressed, and I don't even seem to have an option to wash them myself. I know, I know, washing a cat is a martial art, but I'm a vampire with 10 athletic, 3 levels of the vampyric strength skill AND all 3 levels of being stronger at night. I think I can overpower a cat at night. Most of the time. That or I'd just put it in the toilet, drop the lid and flush a couple of times

The female also goes around yowling, and showing streams of little hearts, and thought bubbles with a burning heart. I don't even know what that means. Is she looking for love? Yeah, you and me both, girl, but in your case let's just say they don't grow back. Plus, I'm living proof myself that screaming for sex doesn't actually get you laid -- well, not unless you count "laid OFF" -- so you can pipe down and accept fate

Meanwhile the male seems to avoid the room with the automatic food dispensers. I think it's on account of the mouse hole there. And I mean the one from the TLC apartment, not the Cats And Dogs one. I guess he'd rather not disturb the mouse. Whelp, I think I may have accidentally adopted Garfield...

I also think he's trying to upgrade my computer. I have the modded one that goes under the desk, and, well, half the time the cat seems to be waist-deep head-first in the computer. Either he's trying to upgrade it, or, I guess, he's getting a nice hot kinda sauna from the overclocked CPU and graphics card. I guess it's true what they say: 8 out of 10 cats endorse Radeon
