Xizzle Gaming Center is a lot I downloaded. Its got a bowling alley in the basement, video games, Don't Tip The Llama game on the main floor, PC's, chess, on the main floor, and the top floor is a coffee shop/bakery/ice creamery that looks like a retro soda pop diner. I created a club called "Teen Fun" (Yeah not very original I know) which was originally started by my sim Graham. But as he aged out of the club, new teens were added and new teens became leaders. Some of the teens have dated each other and gotten married. Its just a fun way to manage the teens in my game and make friends for them. I would definitely recommend that lot because it combines a lot of fun elements and is a great teen hangout. OH here it is: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=600808 |
I love her blue dress and I never have seen it in the game? Is it from a pack or cc?

Theres quite a few in the recolor. I love it too! So bright and cheery. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=599231

I might buy the Parenthood pack and see which of the sextuplets have phases and what kind of phases they are. I have seen numerous pictures of those Care Bear-like costume and in all honesty, they remind me of Outdoor Retreat's Bear costume (which is available in Grizzly, Panda and Polar bear)

Anyway, I had underestimated the exact effect of the "cat hangout" lot trait. Currently I have a quintet of cats in my living room, carolling me with the song of their people, and none of them is mine. (My own two cats are out carolling the fishmongers)
A couple of them have already raided the food that the butler keeps making, and it seems like I can't lecture cats that didn't move in with me. I avoid using the word "own", because as the ancient Egyptians had already found out, cats are demigods and can't be owned by mere mortals
Not that I care about the food, since the butler doesn't actually make anything a vampire can actually eat, but some of that stuff is not good for cats. I mean, spaghetti with tomato sauce? Cat metabolism isn't tuned for carbs, and tomatoes are downright toxic to cats.
Speaking of butlers, the new butler for this family showed up in a track suit and with a Roman helmet on.You're drunk, MCC Dresser. Go to sleep

What else is happening is this:
I was tired of crack lines in some of the hairstyles of my sims. (White lines mostly) It occurred in some EA hairstyles and some custom content hairstyles. I have a Radeon graphics card and a six core processor, this is a gaming PC, so while most info on the web is geared to fixing rendering issues for simmers who have NVidia, I was able to find some info that helped. See, I'm not very techy about graphics and graphics cards, but what I ended up doing was turning on Anti-aliasing and some other settings and it solved the cracks in hair issue about 95%. Also I actually had to enable the graphics setting for Sims 4, don't know why it wasn't enabled. O_o
Cracks in hair would appear mostly in males hairstyles. Sometimes in seams in clothing. What would happen is, the more I zoomed away from the sim, the more cracked and terrible it would look. Apparently this can happen with NVidia too and there is an app that can correct these issues, but if you're a Radeon user you're hooped, no such app seems to exist and good luck finding anyone or a post who knows how to help you. Anyway now that I've changed the settings somewhat, there is a huge improvement in the graphics overall (and I already thought it looked good!) and game performance (frame rate) has not been compromised one bit, in fact it seems to be running better than ever.
By the way; here are the white cracks:
The white cracks would disappear zoomed in but further out they became very severe, although some hairstyles were still terrible close up.

Not sure why would a cat want to eat CHILI, but I guess if you want to melt a hole through the litter box, that's one way to do it

Big developments for Kristopher. Click spoiler for pictures/story.
After his big date with Elsa, they went to Windenburg hotel (Downloaded lot - lounge from the gallery) and spent the night together. The next day, Kristopher's older sister called and had some juicy gossip about Kristopher. (this actually happened, she did call) He had been seen going into the hotel with Elsa. Father Gavin decided it was time to have the woohoo talk with Kristopher (again)... and told him explicitly... no spending the night out (Curfew is 11 but Kris had snuck in) and no messing around in the apartment.
Kristopher wasn't about to abide by these rules so he moved in with his brother, and Elsa. Oh and he got this dog, Bandit who is sooo cute.
Older brother Colby wasn't thrilled with having two flirty teens in the house. He insisted that they must abide by his rules. No teen pregnancy. Don't be loud! Do your homework. Maintain at least a B grade average. And if you're going to insist on living like grown ups... you gotta get a job, cook, and clean. Kristopher now works as a barista and Elsa as a Nanny.
Kristopher could deal with those rules. But he wanted to legitimize his relationship with Elsa. And not just that stupid promise ring thing, but a real, legit proposal. "It's just tin and glass. But when I get a real job, we can buy the real thing." ... Of course she said...
Yes!
Not wasting any time at all, they ran away and tied the knot.
And spent their first night together as married teens in a nearby suite.
The following day; "Guess what! I got married! Elsa and I! We're married!"
"YOURE AN 18 YEAR OLD KID! YOU'RE INSANE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" (Kristopher has the insane trait LOL)
"You're just jealous! I'm practically an adult!"
Colby does have a girlfriend actually. He just recently asked her to move in. But they're not at THAT stage yet (woohoo) so Colby is feeling more hotheaded than usual. He went to the library to play chess for his job and hit it off so well with the librarian... the rest is history!

Right now, my sims family is going down the line... I may have cried when my girl's dads died, but i guess that's just what happens, right? ;-; |
Totally. I might have when Henry's dad died (Henry is my fave sim) but I was more upset for Henry than for Hugh... T^T

What's going on here then

@spidergirl79 Happy setting it to 50 worked out for you! It really feels needed when you've got to wash up and care for pets on the daily.
A day in the park, music warms the heart and this my readers shall be thy final part!
Warning: 24 Images Long!!
Joselyn made a gourmet birthday cake for Bailee! -Jimbo caused my first attempt at the party to fail when his queue bar bugged and caused mcc to spam warning alerts till the game crashed
Following day Jimbo took the family out to the dog park for some fun!
-Hot dogs just seemed the appropriate dish!
Time finally caught up to old Jimbo. -You think your ready. You never really are
Another mommy and me morning food run! -You can see Maaike feeling her age in the window behind them
Not long after wrapping up their breakfast at the dinner Joselyn got a strange phone call. -Don't get why we can't invite the ghost back home to hang for a little.
-Ghost Jimbo is pretty much the same as living Jimbo!
Bailee prepping her hands to woo a certain someone off his feet at the club meeting later that day!
-The look of determination!
-He said yes!
Romance Festival was where they first started their romantic relationship. It just so happened to start up again so why not have the wedding there?
Out with the old.
In with the new!
Meeting the in-laws. -Interestingly they were both living in the apartment I planned to move into so I just merged the households.
Bailee's new stepmother is a bit of a drinker and her stepsister is a wicked mixologist.
Though her daughter's drinks didn't quite fully quench mommie dearest thirst.
Or hunger.
"Don't mind me you pair of lovebirds, just here on business."
And with that both parents are now gone.
Joy wasn't too pleased with Grim.
Caught both mother and daughter howling away in the living room!
Scoots the shih tzu in a fancy tux joins the household!
Play Us Out Ishaan!

So, yeah, now between that and half a dozen visiting strays, it's like a church choir. Made me buy an organ for the occasion
And no, I'm not doing the challenge.
Then I switched briefly to the vet, to do some restyling the clinic, and when I came back, all the cats were apparently having a bulimia party. You know, where you watch the cake jump out of the girl
Seriously, all cats were puking non-stop. Puke, make a couple of steps, puke, repeat. Whelp, the house was turning into a bit of a swimming pool. Scared the crap out of me, but after spending the night at the vet getting every cat checked and having a booster shot, it turns out there was nothing wrong with them. That or the vet might be about as sharp as a bowling ball. I think he was trying to check the cat's breath at the wrong end
In other news, the butler spent about 14 hours scrubbing herself in the bathtub. Could have been more. After 14 hours I went to a party, and I had another butler when I came back. I wonder what made her feel so unclean. Was it my "horrifying joke"?
At the party, my ancient vampire got enraged at Ti-Ning Arroyo for "alien deception." Apparently the guy may have been walking around with bright blue skin, pointy ears, and an alien space suit, but forgot to inform her personally that he's an alien. That sneaky Ti-Ning...

and after some extensive renovation and remodelling, turned it into a dance club and christened it the Metal Church.
The stairs down to the lava-styled dance floor are supposed to represent the descent into Hell, but probably only the most artsy Toreadors know that anyway. Ditto for the 6 tables, 6 large windows, and 6 lighting towers surrounding the dance floor.
The gal in the lower left corner is the vampire prince of the town, and leader of the Toreador's dance club, a position she inherited after her sire retired from official positions to take care of her cats.
Edit: in case someone wonders what's with all the redheads, quoth the Malleus Maleficarum (the witch-hunter book that started the burning age): “Those whose hair is red, of a certain peculiar shade, are unmistakably vampires.”

In the mean time, big brother Colby is getting anxious about moving on with his girlfriend Aahana. So he took her to the rooftop restaurant in San Myshuno,
Where he proposed, and she said yes!
Her full name was "Aahana Kumar" making her South Asian. Quite a few of the lucky lady townies that have married my boys lately, were south asian.
Then Colby got a brilliant idea! It's the Romance Festival! Why don't we go there? Then, in the heat of the moment, they got married. They spent the night in Windenburg hotel.
They plan on going to a camping retreat (at a resort!) with Kristopher and Elsa. There, on Sunday, Kristopher will be celebrating his 20th birthday. Elsa will still remain a teenager for about another month... After that it might be time for some family planning. (I don't want another teen pregnancy. I did that once and thats enough, from what I understand the games limitations don't allow the children to inherit the teenagers genes, I think I lucked out because the kid looked like the dad who was a YA)

Other vampires seem to occasionally change to some second outfit that isn't either dark form, nor dunno, festival t-shirt or such, but just something randomly put together. For example, the guy my current sim was flirting with, showed up in some kind of... pimp outfit, and with earrings. (Gods dammit Dresser... drunk again?)
Now my current sim seems to think half her club mates are aliens. Thing is, though, they're definitely still vampires, or they wouldn't qualify for the club, and I've never seen them in alien form.
I'm starting to wonder if my current game is hosed, or I'm just seeing my sim's slow descent into madness. You know, really putting the "crazy" into "crazy cat lady"

Colby and Aahana were celebrating their wedding by taking a forest retreat getaway and Kristopher and Elsa came as well, and celebrated Kristopher becoming an adult!
Blapa burfna!
Kris looks very different from his brother, the only feature they have in common is their nose (although Kris here has a nose shader on that I forgot to give to his bro). They don't have the same eyes at all, nor the same mouth. Kris takes after his mom whereas Colby is more or less a clone of his dad..
See! Not so goofy looking now...
Like really
not
goofy looking...
Anyway since he grew up he decided he was no longer angry with the world and wanting to be public enemy so I changed his aspiration to master mixologist. He really enjoyed being a barista so I thought he'd enjoy being a mixologist.
When Kris was a toddler, I had turned auto-age on in other households but I only wanted it for the teens in my game, not children, but somehow Kris got missed and he aged up as a toddler without getting ALL of his skills (he got 3/5) and he was given a trait without my input- he was 'insane'!
Then, when I was playing another household, child aged Kristopher asked my current sim to come to his birthday party, so I thought, why not? and went to Kris' birthday party and he became a teen, getting the trait "hates children" Gah! Not the trait I would have chosen. This time I got to choose his trait so he is "romantic" just like his dad.

Still not sure what to do about about half a dozen vampires being "known alien", even though I checked their traits and they totally aren't alien and never were alien...

Spice festival? Its pretty much what it says on the tin - basically the only reason to attend, I think, is to buy spice. The geek thing, well, couldn't get a cosplayer to stand still (or in costume) long enough to get a picture taken or anything, then the computer competition took so long that the festival ended before I could get my sim to at least take a ride in the rocket. No big deal but not worth taking the time to go there, okay, so now I know that.
The flea market I did twice, and despite having two sims tending one table and one of those painting stands, not a single sale either time. Lots of interested sims gathering to gawk at my sims, but no sale. Huh, now that felt pointless.
And finally the romance festival - I made a third sim to move into the household (since the two I was playing were a couple and I wanted to see how it would play out with a single sim looking for love as well) and sent them over to the festival. ...yeah. Lots of tea-drinking at least, and a previously played sim selling her paintings in a corner, but other than that? Several sim couples I've made and played showed up and chatted, and there was quite a few new, unwanted, sims spawning for the event - but no love guru.
The most eventful thing was when my single sim joined a group sitting at one of the tables (hoping to strike up a flirty conversation at this point with just about anyone) and Moira Fyres stood up, climbed up (climbed, not just glitched up) onto the table, and then stood there chatting for the rest of the festival. I honestly thought it was a feature at first, that she was in such a flirty party mood she'd be "dancing on the table", kind of, and found it funny, but... no amount of interaction attempts could get her down from the table again, so clearly a glitch. Still, it was the most fun and memorable part of the festival.
Also, all of those "hey, want to go to the opera with me?" and "hey, let's go to this party!" calls my sims get from random acquaintances? Not sure how those are supposed to go normally, but in my game they only occur a few hours before a festival starts and would end up being at the same time as that festival - if agreeing to go actually did anything at all. Should there not be something, some kind of option or at least a hint as to where to send your sim for this?
Anyway, I'm through with festivals I think, it is actually more fun to send my sims to the restaurants on dates or just to learn the "experimental" recipes so far - actually, is there really no way to get those recipes without having to make your sim eat all those things at the restaurant?
