New Elementary School Update

The new elementary school update is up on the new blog. I can't believe Connor Gray will be 12 next round! He will have his trip to Peragama starting at the beginning of the round so he'll miss out on going to junior high on Earth. He'll be back in time to start high school though. Ryan Knowles and Georgia and Garrett Newson will also be heading off to junior high next time. The Newson house is now full of teens so playing next round should be fun lol. Check out the new update below!

Marshal White Update

Marshal White's update is up over on the new blog. I am still getting the auto center I downloaded for him ready, but I totally intend to let him own his own shop. Still working out how exactly he'll run it and make money from it. It's been so much fun catching up with all of my families! I link to the old posts so that anything from their past that has happened can be seen. I know it's hard trying to remember all the characters and what all has happened to them considering I took a two year break -_-. Check out the new post!

You Learn

Pace Update and Some Changes

Long time no see! So I am still playing the game but I've been gearing up for some changes I want to make. Because I feel like I've been leaning heavier on the storytelling side of the fence than game play, I've decided to focus more on that. I've started a wordpress blog and that is where I will continue my updates. I won't be deleting this one as I'm not porting over all these posts as the format will be a bit different.

I'm still playing my game in rounds but I won't be mentioning that in my new posts. I'll still post what month and year it is. There also won't be anymore game play notes at the bottom of the posts. Any game play things that I may change will be posted over on this blog. I'll also do a quick little post over here when there's a new update on the new blog. I think this will work out better since I have Connor's trip to Peragama coming up and I'll still be doing Arwen's story, both of which are all storytelling. So basically all this means is that they will be treated more like characters instead of sims if that makes sense.

Because I took such a long hiatus and those who were readers previously might have forgotten what was going on with each character, these first few post will contain some background on each of my sims. I will link to the posts here that correspond with whatever I'm talking about. Hopefully that will help those of you who were readers but may have forgot some points and it'll help anyone new to the story that might come across it solely on wordpress. I'll still be doing school updates and all that, it'll just have more of a story feel to it. That's the plan anyway lol.

Derick's post is up over on the new blog so I hope you all will check it out and let me know what you think of it.

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 9 - December 2043

So I completely forgot about this cutie's bday! Such a horrible simgod smh

Anastasia Gray is now a cute and very busy one year old. Parents Amanda and Corbin are very glad she's more mobile, but they forgot about how much energy it requires to keep up with a toddler! Thank goodness this is their last go round! Anastasia is a very playful(6) and active(7) child and is also very tidy(8) for a toddler. Like her mother she is pretty shy(3) and can be a bit grouchy(4) at times. Her big brothers are just glad that they can play with her more now!

* So somehow I forgot to do her birthday, glad I didn't get too far ahead of myself lol. Anastasia is definitely shy like Amanda, but she isn't very nice. Should be a pretty interesting combination to say the least lol.

Kenny Coners, Brian Johnson, and Slade Willis are 29 (Giovanna Steele is 29)

So I love when you call unexpected

So imma care for you, you, you

Imma care for you, you, you, you

Yea

Cuz girl you're perfect, you're always worth it

And you deserve it, the way you work it

Cuz girl you earned it, girl you earned it

The Weekend 

"You know that you don't have to do this, Slade. Like seriously, it's okay," Giovanna said.

"Why are you fighting me on this so hard? It's not like I'm asking you to marry me. Look, your lease is up, you're here all the time, it makes sense that you move in. I'm about to leave on this tour, you'll basically be here by yourself. And you understand our situation. You know that I'm not exactly a one woman kind of man. I see no problem here," Slade said.

  Relax my beloved, don't worry for me
Don't shed a tear for me, always be near for me
Be comforted my love, don't bow you head for me
Promise you'll smile for me, don't ever cry for me
You know these walls
They may fall down but I'll still hold on to you
At heights higher
Than you'd imagine me to

Alex Clare

The demise of the world as Ginger knew it began with three simple words:

"I'm getting married."

Alex didn't get what the big deal was about Anastasia. Everyone thought that she was so cute, but all she did was sleep, eat, and slobber all over the place. Grown ups were weird...........

Kinsley was glad that she hired Kali, the young girl really had a passion for fashion and worked hard without ever complaining. She had a very good sense of fashion and Kinsley knew that there were great things in store for her in the future. Escape was doing very well and Kinsley had been considering opening up a second location in Camden Park.........

Living in the real world

Life was good. Christa Brown had been dreaming about the day that she would leave her home and off to college. The day when she would be on her own, with her family drama behind her. And she had to admit, she hadn't been so at peace in a long time.........................

Matthew Picaso is 42, Jessica is 41, Hunter is 7, Miranda is 2 (Ginger Newson and Meadow Thayer are 22)

I'm in love with that girl, so don't be mad at me

I'm in love with that girl, so don't be mad at me

So what you're from the other side of the tracks

So what the world don't think we match

I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what?

I'm in love with that girl

And she told me, that she's in love with me

Justin Timberlake

Matt had been back from Three Lakes for almost 2 years and he still felt good. The restlessness that usually overtook him wasn't there any more.......maybe he was growing up? Spending his days with Jessica, Hunter, and Miranda when he wasn't doing his duties as General was.........just really nice. Miranda was almost potty trained, a feat that seemed impossible to accomplish when they first began the process...........

Summer was Kiara Ellison's favorite time of year. Nothing but fun in the sun with her friends! She and Lyria Nott had gotten to be good friends and played together a lot. Kiara's dad managed Lyria's uncle's band, Mellow Metal.

Slade Willis was a very lucky man.
He had dated a few women in his time……okay maybe more than a few, but none of them affected him like Giovanna Steele did. Oh he wasn’t in love with her, that wasn’t the nature of their relationship, but he was definitely in LUST with her..........

Kayden was completely and 100% done with girls. They were crazy! He had made the basketball team at school and was just going to concentrate on that and keeping his grades up so he could continue to play. He knew his parents would pull him off if his grades slipped...........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Clarence & Lily Phillippine are 34, Rainie & Ryder are 9, Logan is 1

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to  

Turn it all around or to throw it all away  

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say 

Gotta live like we're dying

Kris Allen

Raine and Ryder thought that having their mom as their teacher was going to be so much fun.......turns out your mother knowing exactly what your homework assignment is wasn't all that great! Mrs. Ellison was now teaching a separate class that allowed the twins to have a little space from their mom......things were much more peaceful now that this was the case!

I'm sorry I can't be, perfect

Simple Plan

Christian Brown knew he had screwed up. Royally screwed up. Things in their house had been strained since that fateful session with Mr. Nott. Christa was even more distant and Alana........Alana was slowly spiraling down and he didn't know what to do to save her........
