Not So Berry Rose Gen Part Two

Last time we visited Ross in Oasis Springs, he held the annual Berry Winterfest party and invited his friends! 
Yesterday my cousin and I went to Miami for her America's Got Talent audition! I'm really happy for her because I didn't realize how talented she really was until we started going to karaoke together a couple months ago! I'm also leaving for New Jersey this week for Christmas! WOOO! Every year we go up for the family Christmas party and the last couple years we've spent Christmas up there! I'm really excited to see my friends and family back home :)

When Ross got home, he was eating his dinner when Brooklynn asked him out on a date to the Rattlesnake Juice Bar. Of course Ross said yes! When they arrived, they were facing the opposite direction. Does this happen to anyone else's Sims?

They sat on the bench and talked. Then the talking led to kissing.

Then the kissing turned into a makeout session. Ross and Brooklynn are really into each other.

The way they look at each other after a nice kiss and makeout session is so cute <3

After they kissed a few more times, they decided to move and talk. Their romance is better than their friendship, so they're getting to know each other a little better. Although there are times like this that I really miss Mrs. Crumplebottom from the Sims 2. She would beat your Sim up with her purse if she saw you even holding hands with another Sim. What a gem.

The date went amazing! Ross is seriously in love. He is a serial romantic, but we will find a way to keep Brooklynn. She is wife material.

The next morning he took a bubble bath before work. Even as an adult you need to have fun somehow.

He had a longish day at work. His fun was low so he decided to watch the News. He wasn't bored after watching it, so I think that may be his go-to channel.

Brooklynn came over! Ross greeted her with a sweet kiss on the cheek. She liked it.

Ross realized the shower downstairs was broken (again! Thanks, ghost of Nina Caliente-Berry). He fixed it before the mess got too out of hand.

When he got upstairs, he had thought of the perfect question to ask Brooklynn.

Ross asked Brooklynn to be his girlfriend, and she said YES! Yay Ross! She is your first girlfriend! This is the first time any of my Sims will have more than one significant other, so this will be fun. We'll try not to break up with her because he wants to marry her. Sorry, Ross. We have other plans for you until you can do that.

Brooklynn and Ross were chatting when Ross remembered someone else was at the house. That someone was Zander and he came over before Brooklynn.

Brooklynn went to sit on the couch, so Zander came over to talk to Ross. He seems like a pretty cool dude. I think Ross will become friends with him.

Ross got some leftovers and joined Brooklynn on the couch. They enjoy listening to music and watching TV while having a great conversation.

The next morning, Ross' hot headed trait made him wake up on the wrong side of the bed (even though he slept on the same side he always does. We'll see what he gets up to later.

That wraps up the final trip to Oasis Springs in 2019! We'll continue Ross' story and see who our yellow gen heir will be. If you're traveling this week, please be safe! Check out my Instagram for some trip pictures from my Tennessee/Ohio trip! I will be posting pictures from Miami and New Jersey throughout the rest of the month as well!

A to Z Batista Legacy Gen C Part One

Welcome back to Newcrest! This is our first day with Cassidy and Chad as the heirs to the Batista legacy! Cassidy is currently in the Athletic career, while her cousin is in the Culinary career.

Cassidy is looking fine in her athletic wear. Also this is easily one of my favorite hairstyles in the game! It's from Cats & Dogs.

Crying over hot chocolate on a snowy day? Sounds like a normal day in Newcrest.

Look it's an Afro lookalike! I forget this Sim's name though. She's a townie.

Cassidy is super tired from a long day at work. She says being in the Athletic career isn't all fun and games.

Oops. She's more tired than she thought. She passed out after dinner. Chad is unfazed as he finishes his food.

Cassidy is taking a nap even though I told her to sleep. Afro decided to Hide From Everyone since she was embarrassed. How do ghosts get embarrassed? Hmmm.

It didn't take long for her to go from embarrassed to flirty. Those paintings really help the mood. If you know what I mean ;)

I love how I designed these rooms. The whole upstairs was originally going to be a master suite, but I decided to make two suites for Bethany and Bort's heirs. It can get a little overwhelming when there are 6 Sims in the household, but I like switching things up. Having two heirs is a lot of fun. If any future Sims have twins/triplets, I'll just make one of them the heir.

Afro! What on earth did you do? That's for Chad and Cassidy's future children! Rude. We know you hate children, but still.

Chad is taking after his mom, uncle and grandparents by painting.

He sold the large one then painted this beauty. Painting is definitely a Batista thing. They all paint so well.

Time for some cousin bonding over TV! It's New Year's Eve, so Chad and Cassidy are celebrating the new year! The past year has been a little crazy but they're ready to take on the world!

Happy New Year, Chad and Cassidy!

This wraps up today's trip to Newcrest! Chad and Cassidy are ready to show the world how they run the show and it's so exciting! I love playing this family so much! See you in Oasis Springs next week!

Rags to Riches: Mansion Baron Part Two

I hope all my fellow Americans had a great Thanksgiving! I'm just glad I can now show my Christmas decorations without being accused of forgetting Thanksgiving. I'm a foodie; Thanksgiving is the one holiday I don't forget about.
Anyway, Camila and her kitties are living the life in Brindleton Bay! When we last saw them, Camila was working on the second part of the Mansion Baron aspiration, which includes 5000 Simoleons of landscaping. Let's see what happens today!

Camila's feline friend Mayor Whiskers decided to visit. Cats love being on top of the fridge. Also he is so adorable <3

Clement is still at Camila's house. This glitch is super annoying. I can't control him and I can't ask him to leave. On the plus side Camila gets free food because he cooks a lot. We've fortunately gotten past the fire stage.

Shadow fell asleep right next to the cat beds! Of course Chester loves being on the bed and waking Camila up. Does anyone have a cat that loves waking you up?

But what's this? Do we have a new member of the Molina clan? WE SURE DO. I've been wanting Camila to have a black cat for a while. Everyone, meet Kitty Molina! She was a stray that hung out at Camila's every now and then, but now she's a member of the family!

At first Kitty was unsure of Camila, but then she realized Camila is a great cat mom.

The first thing Camila noticed was that Kitty was a little ill. Fortunately she's pretty close to the vet! Kitty didn't mind the vet, which is always nice.

If you look closely at her, you can see she has green drool on her mouth and stars around her head. Camila is thinking about buying the things to develop the vet skill. That way she can see if she can help the sick stray kitties.

The vet is ready to take care of Kitty! Fortunately whatever she had was curable, so Camila went for the expensive option. She always does that so the kitties won't get sick again for a while.

Camila was out finding treasures (the vet lot has a lot of things to find!) Kitty was just chilling on the counter-or was she?

Uh, whatcha doing there, Kitty? You must have discovered Wingardium Leviosa.

Camila and Kitty came home with a clean bill of health. Camila celebrated three healthy kitties by dancing to some Winter Holiday music. Who else plays this all year? I've been OBSESSED with the station since I saw SimGuru Steve's Twitch idle livestream last Christmas/New Years!

Also this is easily my favorite Realism painting in Sims 4. This one Camila did is valued over 3000 Simoleons, but she decided to keep it.

This is what Camila has so far for her landscaping. There are a couple animal shaped hedges that are hard to see because of the terrain paint. I may get rid of those, but they did help Camila reach the 5000 Simoleons of landscaping. Her ultimate goal is to line the whole house with hedges.

Here's the front yard at night. It is harder to see everything though.

This is another view of the landscaping without the open walls.

To end today's trip to Brindleton Bay, here's a nice view of Shadow jumping off the moving robot vacuum. I love that cats can ride it! Does anyone know if puppies or small dogs can ride it? I've never tested it.

That concludes our final visit to Brindleton Bay for 2019! In 2020, we will finish the Mansion Baron aspiration and keep an eye on my Twitter to see what we do after Camila finishes the aspiration! Right now we are halfway there! She already has more than 30 windows, so now we have to work on making her home worth 200,000 Simoleons! So far we are aroud 165,000 Simoleons right now. After she finishes, we will either we'll follow a new Sim on their adventures or continue following Camila and the kitties! Have a great week and see you in Newcrest next week!
