Not So Berry Rose Gen Part Eighteen

 On our last visit to Oasis Springs we had a dryer fire! Yannick was also able to bond with Ross and Brooklynn a little more.

Ross is working on wooing a couple more Sims before he ages up. This is ___. As we could tell by the last part, Ross isn't picky about wooing men or women. 

It looks like things are going well! He was quite shocked to have Ross kiss him so fast. That's one of the perks of Ross being so infamously flirty.

Ooh, what is this? Ross is WOOHOOING! I guess Ross really likes him. Maybe we'll keep him around ;)

Yannick doesn't seem to happy that Siobhan is trying her best to help with his homework. Math wasn't her strong subject in school, but she's doing her best.

It's also Siobhan's birthday! Happy birthday Siobhan! She is now an adult.

Right after the celebration, Yannick decided to make a mess in the hallway. Scarlet suggested he clean it up before Ross saw it. Good call, Scarlet. Yannick immediately cleaned up his mess.

This is adorable. Ross is reading Yannick Lord of the Swings. I hope they enjoy it.

After storytime, Yannick wanted to work on his Mental skill. He's been really into space and Sci-Fi lately, so we'll see how everything goes. 

Scarlet has really caught the painting bug. She seems to paint all the time, which isn't a bad thing.

Ooh, Ross is wooing yet another Sim. He really wants to woo everyone in Oasis Springs! 

It's New Year's Eve and Ross is getting in the spirit! He just made the resolution to get promoted, so now that's even more of a goal for him. 

Scarlet and Yannick are watching from the living room while Ross and Siobhan watch from the dining room. Happy New Year, Berry family!

It's a beautiful early spring day in Oasis Springs, so Ross got the mail. Someone sent Siobhan a birthday gift. I think it was her dad Dominic.

Ross really isn't picky about who he tries to woo. This is ___, who is clearly an elder. Let's hope this goes well.

Hmm, so far it's not terrible. Let's hope Ross can pull this off.

Oof, and ___ didn't like it. Ross has wooed an elder, but ___ just isn't having it. Don't worry Ross, there are much better Sims than this crazy dude. Most Sims appreciate your flirting and consider it a compliment.

Ross is getting closer to becoming an elder and Yannick is getting closer to becoming a teen. Hopefully we can still leave someone at the altar and marry Scarlet as an elder. Since he already has Yannick, he can't have kids with anyone else. But at least he can woohoo ;) Next week is our last official post of 2020. This year has been good and bad for all of us and we can only hope that 2021 will be better. Next week we'll be catching up with Aldo and Harmony. If you're traveling this week (or next week), be safe and have a great time wherever you go!

A to Z Batista Legacy Gen C Part Seventeen

I can't believe this is the last time we visit the Batistas in 2020! This year has been great at times and miserable at others. Keeping up with this blog has been one of the things keeping me on track this year.

When we last visited the Batista family, it was Winterfest! Leilani got a less than desirable present and we were continuing to work on Chad and Leilani's relationship. 

It seems like Dave also got a less than desirable present too. I forget what it was, but he wasn't happy.

I don't think Dave and Cassidy really don't know what personal space is. They morphed into one Sim for a moment. 

Ooh, we have a baby!! Cassidy has given birth to a BOY! So if you guessed she was having a boy, congrats! :D His name is David! I had planned on naming my D-generation boy David (one of my best friends is named David so it fits) and Cassidy marrying Dave was a complete coincidence. But now his name has a little sentiment behind it.

After Cassidy gave birth, Leilani wanted to chat in the kitchen. Leilani was asking Cassidy if she'd make a birthday cake for Chad since today is his birthday. Cassidy said yes. She and Chad have always been close, so it was an obvious choice for her. 

Um, Chad? Number one, why does your bike have a flower power type paint job? And two, why are you riding the bike in the house? (disclaimer I accidentally hit "Bike Here" instead of "Go Here" when I tried to get everyone in the kitchen.

Happy birthday, Chad! Chad is officially an adult, and is one step closer to retiring. We shall see how far we can get him in the Painting Career.

This part is super eventful so far! It's now wedding time! And look who our caterer is! It's Mila Munch from Windenburg! 

Before the ceremony got underway, Chad and Leilani are having some chips while Dave orders a drink.

Chad liked her, so he put a ring on her! 

Congrats Chad and Leilani! <3

Here is a good shot of the lovely wedding guests. They all know the Batistas and how iconic they are in Newcrest.

And they carried out the tradition of sharing the first piece of wedding cake. Chad and Leilani are so cute.

Everyone was hungry and tired after the official part of the ceremony (that's what happens when you plan a late night wedding in the Sims). I do miss when you could plan social events in the future.

Musician Kimberly Pratt and Chad's friend Willie Logan were chatting it up while Kimberly played some lovely violin tunes. Cassidy walked away to let them get to talking.

I guess it's nap time? There is a ton of down time in a wedding, so it only makes sense to catch some zzz's.

I decided to end the wedding "early," so everyone went home. Well, Mila Munch left two dishes on the counter for someone to finish. One was the French Toast Chad is cooking, and the other is a black and white cake that Chad also finished. He is now level 2 in the Gourmet Cooking Skill.

Since it is the last Batista post of 2020, I wanted to share some pictures from the Wedding Venue in Brindleton Bay.

It's my favorite world in the game and having Seasons just adds to it, especially in the winter. What's your favorite world? If you could live or take a vacation in *any* world from any Sims game, where would you go? Next week we catch up with the Berry family, so let's see what we can get into with Ross and Yannick. We'll be focusing quite a bit on Yannick since he's about a week from aging up into a teen, which means he can start working on his adult skills.

Rags to Riches Mansion Baron Part Seventeen

Last time we visited Camila and the kitties, Camila showed off her DJ Skill at a club meeting in Windenburg, recycled some things, started making candles, and worked on her rocket. Also this is our last visit to Brindleton Bay in 2020. :O

Camila's rocket is coming along smoothly. She doesn't work on it a lot, but she's making good, steady progress. She will eventually go in space, but that won't be for a while since she still has a while to go for the Rocket Science skill.

Happy Spooky Day! Camila is talking to this lovely witch and she was reminded she needs to get in costume before handing candy out to other Sims.

Much better! She looks great! Even Chester is liking her look.

Camila is doing what she does best and that's painting. She left a bowl of candy on the porch and went upstairs to make her next masterpiece.

Kitty and Lilly were sharing a sweet mother/daughter moment in the kitchen. The cats are so cute in this game.

A few minutes later Lilly was sick! Oh no! That's not a great look for her.

But don't worry! Camila is here to help! Unfortunately she can't take care of the NPC cats that pop up sick, but she can take care of her four girls.

I forget what Lilly had, but she's feeling much better now! All thanks to Camila and her increasing Veterinary Skill! 

Aww, Mayor Whiskers decided to take a nap on the living room floor. He's such a cute cat. Has anyone ever tried to adopt Mayor Whiskers? Did it go well?

Annika and Alexander came over to hang out with Camila. They love coming over and spending time with Camila and the kitties. Fortunately neither one is allergic to cats.

That night Camila was invited to a Partyhaus gathering in Windenburg. Camila never says no to a chance to hang out with her friends.

The following afternoon Annika asked Camila on a date. For whatever reason there was no progress/award bar. 

Camila tried using a pickup line but apparently Annika wasn't having it. To make things stranger, Annika is MARRIED AND ASKED CAMILA OUT. Yes, she is married. I don't know why we haven't met her husband.

After Annika decided the date was no good (that was her fault, not ours. She asked Camila), Shadow and Kitty were sharing an interesting moment. So apparently the Free Love goes for pets too. Good to know lol

Oh no Shadow! She's now sick. She's in good hands, as we learned with Lilly.

Shadow is already feeling much better! I forget what ailed her, but she feels significantly better!

That wraps up our final visit to Brindleton Bay for 2020! I did go and renovate Camila's house a bit, so the official reveal will be the first week of January! Camila's home value as of yesterday when I played was roughly 285,000! We're getting a little closer every time we visit!
