A to Z Batista Legacy Gen C Part Seven

Last time we visited Newcrest, Cassidy painted a masterpiece and joined the Powerhouse Club, while Chad got to know his "friend" Leilani better. 

We pick up today's visit at Harbor Quarter Gym in Newcrest, where Leilani wanted to throw her party. I know it's an odd place to throw a party, but this is the Sims and she is a townie. Lol. Here's Leilani in her final moment as a teen.


Welcome to adulthood, Leilani! Do you guys think we should have Chad wife her up? What about Cassidy? She's going to be an adult soon so we need to find her a man!

After Leilani aged up, Chad was talking to Leilani and a couple other Sims near the treadmill. I'm not exactly sure what they were talking about, but I assume they were giving Leilani some advice. Chad doesn't like flirting with other Sims around so he went with casual and friendly conversation.


While Chad was celebrating with his friend, Cassidy was still working out. When she finished she decided to take a relaxing swim. Here she is back floating. It's so relaxing just being in the water like this.

Now it's Chad's turn to back float a little.

Cassidy was so tired she ended up passing out right as she got upstairs. I love when Sims pass out in random places. But sometimes it's annoying.

The next morning Chad decided to do some self care with a bath and face mask. Every now and then he likes to feel zen.

Cassidy wanted to strengthen Bort's spirit so he'll keep visiting. It can be frustrating having ghosts visit all the time, but it does make Cassidy and Chad work on their handiness skills.

After work Cassidy was tense. She hates when her teammates stress her out and make her do more work than them. Fortunately she's the one moving up the ranks while they're stuck in the same spot. Plus the coaches like Cassidy more.

It's yoga time! Yoga is her favorite way to relieve the stress of everyday life. 


She's still a little tense but Cassidy feels much better. She heard Chad come home so we'll see what he's up to this afternoon.

Oh, um, okay. There's a random floating dish in the kitchen and everything fell onto the floor *facepalm* I'm not sure how that happened because I didn't have MoveObjects on. Sometimes when you have that cheat active dishes and other things tend to randomly float midair.

That wraps up today's trip to Newcrest. Not too much happened but sometimes we have that. Starting next week I'll be doing twice a week posts like last year! I can't believe I've been doing this for 16 months and that this is the second summer I've done twice a week posts! Thank you all so much for following the stories of these Sim families :) Posts will be on Mondays and Fridays at noon eastern time (the same time I've been doing) :) Monday we go back to Newcrest to hang out with Camila and the kitties!

Rags to Riches: Mansion Baron Part Seven

When we last saw Camila she got abducted and was enjoying some time getting to know Easton's family.

Annika called Camila and said there was a party going on at the bar in Willow Creek. I love that there are parties and get togethers now. I love having my Sims mingle with other Sims in new ways.

It's a full house here! Camila loves it. She's not super introverted but she has days where she wants to be around a lot of people. Tonight is one of those nights. She's having her favorite drink, a Sea Splash.

Camila is meeting Candy Behr! She's heard a lot about Candy from Annika and also the TV.

Annika is practicing her speech in the bathroom mirror. After this was taken a Sim kicked her out to use the bathroom while Camila was in the other. Sims are so funny sometimes.

The next morning she was feeling inspired, so Camila painted. She also loves that it's her income and favorite hobby.

Easton invited Camila to his house to hang out again. She's glad he started inviting her over rather than constantly asking to come over or just showing up at random times.

Annika called to tell Camila about yet another party so she decided to go. When the party calls, Camila must answer.

"Ooh, this is a really nice place!" Camila thought as she started dancing with the others. The way Sims dance with Get Together reminds me a lot of the Sims 2 Smustle. 

When she got home and got some sleep Camila was feeling really inspired. Visiting new lots inspires Camila to paint something new.

I think this one is a masterpiece. If she didn't need the money she would've kept it. Oh well. She will eventually paint an identical one.

Annika invited Camila to her house to hang out. She doesn't visit Oasis Springs as much as she'd like. This view is beautiful!

I think Annika may be a Glutton. Either way this facial expression is hilarious!

Camila is bonding with her family while watching an Action TV show.

That night she was invited to guess what? Another party. Don't worry there are nights where she doesn't go to a party.

Camila loves dancing when it's cooler outside but she isn't a huge fan of dancing with snow on the ground.

But she is learning some sweet moves from Candy Behr. Candy seems nice and she talks to all my Sims. Have any of your Sims befriended Candy? Have any Sims had babies with her? Should she be a love interest for Camila?

Look who decided to show up to the party: BOB PANCAKES!! <3 Bob is my favorite townie from Sims 4. He's great! Should Camila take Bob from Eliza (or Ewwliza)?


That's going to wrap up today's trip to Brindleton Bay. I want to start finding a significant other for Camila. Should we pursue Candy, Bob, or another townie? I know Johnny Zest and J Huntington III make cute babies from other saves. Tweet me @Tessaundra :)

Strangerville Part Twenty-One (contains Strangerville Mystery Spoilers!)

Last time we visited Aldo he was going to the deepest part of the Secret Lab. There are a few things I wish would change about the pack but the way they made the lab is incredible.

Here's Aldo going through the hallway between secret doors. I love the layout of this lab.

He's about to meet the Mother. He has a vendetta with her (it? them? Not sure.) I love how they decorated this hallway with the vines. It's such a nice contrast between the dark hallway and bright vines.

He has met the Mother. I kinda like how Sims automatically have a fully negative relationship with the Mother but it can get irritating. 

The last task on the third part of the aspiration was collecting spore clusters. The best spot to find them is near the bizarre plants outside the lab. You usually get 5.

Harmony left Aldo one bizarre fruit, so he used it and some of the spore clusters to make one vaccine. If it doesn't work then he will stop by the Curio Shop to get more.

Aldo wanted to try the vaccine before he made more. Harmony told him it took her three tries to perfect the vaccine, so he figured it would take three tries for him as well. Here he is trying his first dose with Bethany Levesque, a fellow Military Personnel. Unfortunately it didn't work.

He was out of bizarre fruits, so he went to the Curio shop to get more. He could have gotten some from the Secret Lab, but he likes the idea of helping other Sims.

He was about to go to the bar to get a drink when Cassandra Goth asked him if he wanted to come over. He hasn't been to the Goth home so he figured why not. Mortimer made macaroni and cheese, so they're having some great discussion while eating dinner. 

Alexander and Bella joined after Aldo finished his meal. And this angle makes Alexander look like he's hiding behind a pot.

Cassandra was working when he got there. When she got home she started to play violin. Aldo watched for a few minutes and tipped her 20 Simoleons. Then he started playing guitar. I'm sure Cassandra is maybe a level 2 in the Violin skill, while Aldo isn't even level 2 in Guitar. He does level up a couple minutes after this was taken.

It was nearing midnight on Saturday night, so he figured he should go home. He cleaned the vines out of the downstairs toilet then worked on his speech. His criteria for a promotion is reaching level 8 of the Charisma skill. He's barely level 6, so he has some work to do.

Sunday Aldo wanted to work on his vaccine. He can't wait to defeat the Mother for Harmony.

He's hard at work on this vaccine. Let's hope it works!

Aldo knows plenty of possessed Sims hang out near the 8 Bells Bar and Strangerville Library, so that's where he went to try it. This is Military Personnel Stephan Harris. Let's see what happens.

Uh oh, it didn't work. Instead of curing him from the infection, it made him pass out! After a drink, it's back to the lab.

Aldo really likes coming to the 8 Bells Bar. The drinks are good and he meets people that also work in the Military career. He's having his favorite drink, Cupid Juice.

That wraps up today's trip to Strangerville! Next time we visit, we'll see if the third time really is the charm for the vaccine. Since I recently bought Get Together, I plan on adding the Sims Aldo vaccinates in a club and having them meet at the Lab. If you have Get Together, I recommend creating a club so you don't forget who you're recruiting. I had that issue with Harmony and another Sim I had solve the mystery (in a different save).

Not So Berry Rose Gen Part Seven

On our last visit to Oasis Springs Brooklynn moved in with Ross and Ross got his second "first kiss" with his teenage crush, Scarlet!

While Ross was at work Brooklynn wanted to watch some Culinary Training videos. I seriously wonder how townies get so far in their careers without skills. She's a level 3 Cooking and level 0 Gourmet Cooking and get this...she's LEVEL 8 in the Culinary Career!

Tom watches as Brooklynn reads a Gourmet Cooking book. Since she and Ross already have a lot of food, she figured she might as well read a little. She may venture to a community lot soon so she can practice and not have tons of food go to waste.

It's love day so what better way for a couple to celebrate than a good classic woohoo?

While Brooklynn was at work Ross was invited to a party. I forget who invited him though. So his third "first kiss" is with Candy Behr! Will he also pursue a relationship with her? Since one of the goals is have a strong romantic relationship with 3 Sims. Hmmm....

I think Candy liked it. She's single and kinda cute. Plus her hair is Ross' favorite color: pink.

Ross has found his inner dance machine so he's letting it show.

The next morning Brooklynn figured she'd get some housework done before playing with Tom and studying cooking some more.

Tom was chasing his tail! I love when pets do that especially in person. My brother's dog will do that and she's so cute!

She also wants to try to be handy. I know I've mentioned it before but I hate how ghosts break all the plumbing.

Here's a couple more pictures of Tom chasing his tail.



When she was done working on her skill Brooklynn decided to talk to a few friends. Fortunately she's not too far from anyone else she knows. I'm pretty sure she lived in Oasis Springs with her mom and brother before she moved in with Ross.

When Ross got home he was asked to join the group The Paragons. They're composed of Sims who like the finer things in life, and one of Ross' traits is Snob. They love trying on clothes and drinking coffee. For some reason they're all wearing swimsuits but they don't go swimming.

Ross was feeling a little sleepy, so his first stop was making himself a mocha latte. It was good.

Look, I found Andre DaSilva! He is a base game Sim created by Maxis and he's on the gallery! He is base game so anyone can use him in their game :)

That concludes today's trip to Oasis Springs! Next time we will see how this first meeting of the Paragons go with Ross. Hopefully he likes them and they like him. Also Candy Behr became the third Sim Ross had a first kiss.
