2019 has been in insane year, both good and bad! I really wanted to make a separate post about where each of my Sims saves has gotten over the past 10 1/2 months or so. I can't believe it's been so long since I started this blog. Thank you so much to everyone who has read one or all of my posts. I appreciate every visit to this page and I started it because I wanted to share my Sims' lives and stories with the world!
I also enjoy sharing the homes my Sims live in and the lots they frequently visit. Remember, every Sim and build I make is uploaded on the Sims 4 Gallery. My Gallery name is PhilliesPOPster5, hence the name of this blog! :) I do not use any custom content or mods. I only use what the SimGurus put in each pack. There are some builds where I use the MoveObjects cheat and I always specify which builds use this.
CAMILA MOLINA, SHADOW, CHESTER, KITTY - Brindleton Bay
Camila has come such a long way since February. She went from literally ZERO Simoleons to pushing for a true mansion in beautiful Brindleton Bay! She completed the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration, where she got her home redone when she reached each level of the aspiration. She is now halfway through the Mansion Baron aspiration, where she will continue to build her wealth and her beautiful home.
Along the way she befriended a lot of the neighborhood stray cats, including the lovely Mayor Whiskers. Although the first cat she adopted was Shadow, who came from the Brindleton Bay Animal Shelter. Her best feline friend was Chester, who glitched every time Camila went to adopt her. Fortunately Camila was eventually able to adopt Chester and Chester was able to join the Molina family. She waited a long time until she decided to adopt another cat. About a Sim year went by before Camila decided to adopt Kitty, a black cat who was formerly a stray.
As of now Camila is single, but after she completes the Mansion Baron aspiration, she may settle down and look for a mate. If he has a job, he will be the only one working in the household, but she will continue to make money by painting, selling harvestables, and other methods Camila has used to get where she is now.
BATISTA FAMILY - Newcrest
This is one of my favorite families to play. Alec is in the Gallery under Jordan because that was his original name; I decided to change it when I decided to do the A to Z Legacy Challenge instead of just a legacy. I did cheat a little by finding his wife Jordan on the Gallery because none of the townies really appealed to me. He made his family home on the 50X40 lot in scenic Newcrest and joined the Entertainer career. She was in the Culinary career. Alec retired shortly before he passed away, while Jordan worked until she passed. They had two beautiful children, Bort and Bethany.
Bort was a great toddler and child. He really wanted to get into art like his parents. Alec and Jordan made painting the great Batista pasttime. I decided to switch things up by making every other generation have jobs, so Bort and Bethany did not have career jobs. They made their money by harvesting collectables and painting, just like Camila. Afro, aka Bryanna Crane (if you're familiar with James Turner's Rags to Riches series, she's a major character in that LP), married Bort and was a Detective until she eventually died of old age. They had a beautiful daughter named Cassidy Batista. Bort's younger sister Bethany originally wanted to marry librarian Jeremy, but he was a jerk. So she quickly moved on and fell immediately in love with Ian, the trainer at the gym in Willow Creek. They had a handsome son named Chad. (If you're familiar with HollieBB and her Twitch streams, you'll recognize Chad as sort of a channel meme.)
When Bort, Afro, Bethany and Ian passed away from old age, it was Chad and Cassidy's turn. Cassidy is in the Athletic career, while her cousin Chad is still a teen as of now. When he ages up we shall see what career he enters. So far we have only played with Chad and Cassidy for short time, but we will continue to play them and see how far into the Batista legacy we can get in 2020.
BERRY FAMILY - Oasis Springs
We started the Not So Berry Challenge with Mitchell Berry, a Scientist with a huge mischievous side and lived in Oasis Springs. He had always been a huge fan of warm, dry weather, so that's why he chose Oasis Springs. He fell in love with Nina Caliente, the flirty girl who lived next door with her mother Katrina, sister Dina and friend Don Lothario (if anyone knows Don's relation to the Calientes, please let me know!) They had a handsome son named Ross, who is the heir of the Berry family. Mitchell made it to level 9 of the Scientist career, so he didn't complete the requirements. But rather than quit and try again, I decided to do my best the first time then maybe run through it again trying to perfect everything. But before he passed away, he was able to move to another beautiful home in Oasis Springs. I love the current Berry home because it's larger and I like the layout more than the other one.
When Mitchell and Nina died, it was all up to Ross. This save has taken me so long to play because it's so much different than I normally play. I'll be honest, I've debated quitting this challenge numerous times in the past, but I've been pushing through. I'm glad I haven't quit because Ross is becoming a great Sim to play. He's currently on level 3 in the Business career and he's still a Young Adult.
ALDO JANSEN AND HARMONY RAINIER - Strangerville
When the Strangerville game pack came out in February, I knew I had to have it and add it to my list of saves on the blog. Harmony and Aldo originally started as friends and co-workers who wanted to solve the Strangerville Mystery together. As I started to go through the Mystery, I realized it was difficult if not impossible for two Sims to solve the Mystery. I wish there was a way for two Sims to do it though. That's when Aldo decided to become a bodybuilder rather than solve the mystery.
Unfortunately Harmony was unable to defeat the Mother Plant and she died while fighting it. Aldo gave himself time to mourn, but now he's ready to honor Harmony and defeat the Mother in her memory. Aldo is still going to finish his bodybuilder aspiration, then he's going to defeat the Mother. We shall see what happens because Harmony was so close to finishing it.
WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE SIMS?
For Camila and the kitties, they'll finish the Mansion Baron Aspiration and then work on settling down and finding a man. I've been inspired by James to do a mini Legacy/Rags to Riches with her family. I may try to do one in every world. Keep an eye here and my Twitter to see what Camila's options will be in the future.
Chad and Cassidy plan on getting as far as they can in their careers and find love along the way. I want to try to get them married as young adults because I realize both parents can't die until their oldest child is at least a teen, if not a young adult. I have generation D names picked out, but I won't mention them until the D generation is born. I'm hoping to keep the heirs to a male and a female but I know at least a few will be the same. We shall see how far I get in this. Realistically, I want to get to the E or F generation. I would love to make it to H but I don't think that's realistic for the Batistas.
My goal with Ross is complete the Serial Romantic Aspiration as quickly as possible. He currently has a girlfriend named Brooklynn, who may or may not have his child. I'm still debating between her and Scarlet (his teenage crush). My goal for the Berry family is to get to Generation 5. Remember here are the Not So Berry Rules, and here are the Base Game Rules for those who don't own all the packs like me.
As for Aldo, I want him to work on getting to the top of the Military career. Then he will go to the Athletic Career, while I'm not sure what aspiration he'll have after Strangerville. I eventually want him to get married and have at least one child. I will renovate his home to accommodate for kids and maybe get rid of most if not all the Strangerville things in their basement.
I want to thank you all again for reading my blog in 2019 and I look forward to sharing even more of these Sims' lives in 2020! Have a great and safe New Year! See you tomorrow for the first Camila post of 2020! I'm still keeping the Wednesday posts until summer! Then in June, July and August I'll go back to Monday/Friday and return to Wednesday in September! I thoroughly enjoyed doing that this year and plan to do this more in the future! :) <3
