Another awesome chapter! < 3
Spoiler:
Damn it, Kayson, don't make the same mistake as I do IRL and put your Fun need before your Sleep one! XC Glad he aged up though! Sofia is so pretty, I love her so much. Shame she had to lose you 5 points though! I imagine pregnancies don't make ISBIs fun, even if you need them for future THs. Gotta love those minus points for self-wetting. : P
Loving this challenge so far, although I feel like out of all the ISBIs I follow, your Sims seem to be the ones that disobey you the most! : P

Guess I can't really be too mad at him for it, 'cause I do it, too. xP I love Sofia a lot, even though she's been almost as bad as Katelin lol. For now she's got the excuse of baby brain, I guess. I'm really excited to see these kids.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying! :spin:
And yeah, I see that too. ISBIs are like, my favorite challenges to read from other simmers and I don't think I've seen too many where they got quite so far into the negatives as I have. Eventually I'll at least get to 0. I will. :llama:

Spoiler:
I know I shouldnt laugh because karma, but the number of fails you've had at this point are just comical and i cant stop myself from laughing. And now I feel terrible...

But yay for a new baby?
And a tip I find helpful for ISBI toddlers: no high chair. Then you can drag food out of the fridge for them to eat without having to worry about having someone available to feed them. Unless you are playing on hard mode. Then disregard this lol

XD I'd be laughing at me too, tbh. You're good lol
And yes, yay new baby! :celebration:

And my toddlers never seem to grab the food on their own, or I absolutely would! (And have tried, once or twice.) And the option 'grab food for [toddler name here]' only shows up sometimes? Which is weird and annoying, but whatever, I guess. My game's just out to get me. :spin:

Spoiler:
XD Yeah it was. At first I really wasn't looking forward to another kid, but then I got weirdly upset at MCCC for taking it away? Then to find out it was gonna be twins . . . :heavybreathing:

And he is! I love him already, though that could be because he's not clingy like Cody and Ellie both were lol

Maybe, lol. It's the only explanation I've got for all of her fails. :shrug:

I really love that whole-house screenshot, it looks so nice! Really love the pops of colour around the house. Tommy and Toni are too cute! The 'revoked favouritism' made me laugh. I guess in an ISBI, there are no favourites, because your favourites will turn their back on you. : P
I like that even though your Sims disobey you constantly, you're still going with it though! I think given all they've put you through, they owe you a good +200 points by now. :P

^^ The house has to have color, I can't do black, white, and shades of grey, it's just not happening lol. And yeah. XD I love them all, but wow can they be frustrating. At this point, I think I'd just take a few positive points that weren't immediately overtaken by more negative ones tbh. :smiley:

Considering how much your Sims like to utterly betray you, I'm glad Toni netted you a +5 at least! Also nothing says 'Sims' like someone T-posing inside of an object. Welcome baby Jake, I hope you aren't a self-wetter or a passer-outer! Lee's older version is really cool. Mara is so pretty!

Yeah. ngl, I'm leaning toward Toni for heir this next generation (I am very biased toward the girls in this game, but also I've just already fallen in love with her). omg, it was weird, the game like, wouldn't recognize the one bed as an object so I couldn't delete it, and then putting the house down didn't get rid of it. I spent what felt like forever in build mode trying to figure it out. Jake is adorable, but I really didn't want another kid. I about screamed when that eating for two notif popped up. And Lee! He's so cute! He and Cody are just :heartbeat: :heartbeat: but also kinda weirdly shaped? Their like, thighs/hips/waists are just . . . a lil off-kilter, in a way I didn't notice 'till I looked at their like, portrait thing. And I love Kayson's lil family, they're so cute.

If you have the Sims 3 installed through origin you should have the rewards lamps. There are a couple that give off focusing auras.

Otherwise the easiest way it elements. If you have any of those lying around, those have focusing auras as well.

And if your sim is in a focused mood, you can paint a focused painting and hang those around the house lol
