@Peachy: Thank you!
Also I completely understand... sometimes we all have that moment of not knowing what to do in-game! I'm glad to hear you're taking a stab at making your own houses now.
Long time, no post, BoolProp! IRL does get a touch more busy in that period following Thanksgiving into the holidays. With a brief free moment, I want to post about the last Crystal Valley family before 2021 is up! (Procrastination is a helluva drug. >_>)
Our last family is the
Thompson family!
Family Description:
The Thompson's claim that they're the image of "perfection," but does that claim really hold up? The facade is crumbling, but Crystal Valley is going to be the catalyst for the end.
We'll start off first with the patriarch, Patrick.

Next up is the matriarch, Annabelle.

Creation Notes:
- This family is also one that changed since the 2011 version! They were more of an ordinary, "picture perfect" type of family. I decided for the remake that I should have it be a bit ~different~ in that two completely opposite people got together and had a family. Better as friends, not so great as lovers perhaps?
- Their house is unmodified, save for two slight changes I didn't feel the need to photograph: I added curtains on the windows and I gave them a car in the garage (a purple Yomoshoto Evasion).
- Although, yes, the story set up here is an affair by Tyler... I don't actually have a sim to fulfill that role! Maybe I'll make one? Maybe it'll be a townie? That's to be decided!
- Also I completely dropped the ball and forgot Samantha's bio as of the initial writing! I know I gave her one (as you all may have noticed, every sim got their own custom bio in this 'hood), but I just. Forgot to add it to my notes? I only noticed while writing this, and it's a happy coincidence I'm going to be in-game tonight! I'll make sure to add it in ASAP.
And with that, this is the end of the Crystal Valley updates!
...Well, sort of. As alluded to in that last bullet point, I've been playing the 'hood! I may or may not share further updates on this, but that's something to be decided at a later date. I'll still be around BoolProp like usual! I just need some time to figure out what I'm going to share next.
Maybe another legacy
... that by having a new audience I'd actually finish?
Thank you all for letting me share this with you! I'm humbled that, as of
this post's writing, this topic has garnered almost 16,500 views! Whether they were legit or bots, it still is amazing to see that people were interested enough to come back to check for updates on this little passion project of mine.
Here's to more simming in 2022!
