Spoiler:
It's always frustrating when the game crashes, and you haven't saved for a while. It's like it knows! :thdown:
All your scenery pictures are so pretty!
Yay for Norah and Miko!
Seems love is in the air for Salim and Jo too.
I love your Father Winter!

Spoiler:
Proposals in 4 can be so finicky! I've had some sims propose without a problem, and others it takes several tries despite both sims having a high relationship? At least it makes for some interesting sims drama. Poor Dusty. :(

Woah, the sudden summer snowstorm is really cool!

Floorcakes make all sorta-break ups better, obviously. At least it has a wrapper on it so it wasn't directly touching the ground? :lol:

Man, vampires really love Dusty, huh? Also love Candy showing up just to play some tunes on the guitar.

It's nice seeing some drama in your gameplay! I also usually go the route of 'well I want these 2 sims to get together so I'll make it work no matter what', so it's refreshing seeing other people letting relationships play out differently. Hopefully Dusty will have a little more luck in her next rotation!

I love Candi just floating in the air with her breakfast. Poor girl!
It's nice to see Dusty hanging out with her friends. :grin:
Wow poor Dusty getting rejected! I had a string of rejected proposals in my game for a while, even with both relationship bars maxed, it hurts to see.
Hopefully Dusty will find true love!

Spoiler:
So I hear, once I started looking into it! I was surprised, I've never had a problem before! It certainly spices things up, though. Although it's no fun for Dusty!

It was really random and I loved it!

It's free cake, afterall. I probably still wouldn't risk it, even with the wrapper :lol:

She's a vampire magnet, apparently. That was quite amusing :D

I actually like a little bit of drama! :D It left me wondering what to do for a few days, but it did spice things up. I did consider just trying again at a later point, but I think it'll be a lot of fun finding someone new for Dusty.
108sims:
Spoiler:
It was just so random, I had to include it :lol:
I really like getting them all together!
It was so unexpected! I have heard that it happens quite often, after it happened to Dusty. It's a shame but at least it spices things up a little bit - it'll be interesting to see what happens to her next!
Thanks guys! :hug:
There's a new update up tonight as well! :) Enjoy!!

Spoiler:
Vacation update! Exciting! :smore:

I love the little dialogue bits you've been incorporating into this! It kiiiinda makes me want to do it, but tbh that might make writing out updates feel like more of a chore. :lol:

Granite Falls is gorgeous (especially with seasons!) and I love that little dragonfly thing. Also you totally could have fooled me with the graphics not being on ultra, I just assumed yours was!

As an extremely uncoordinated person who has (attempted) to play horseshoes, I can confirm it is very possible (and very embarrassing) to lose playing by yourself. :lol:

Bless Akira for trying, and also bless the low resolution chipmunk and his pigeon friend.

Love the ladies going out for lunch together! Also meant to comment on this in an earlier update, but that food truck lot you found on the gallery is great and I'm seriously contemplating trying to build one in my own game now.

Spoiler:
Summer really is the best time for it!

I have quite a bit of fun putting them in there! But only if it feels "natural", I try not to force them into every update, if it just won't fit. Hopefully that way it won't become a chore :lol:

It really is! I always forget how much I like it in between visits. Yeah, my laptop is a little sad when I force it to run ultra! I've got things dragged up fairly high, but it still doesn't load everything properly when it gets too hot, poor thing. Resizing & sharpening my screenshots hides most of the evidence :lol:

I can imagine :lol: I don't think I'd be much good at it either, to be honest!

I like Akira :D and I adore the low poly animals!

It's nice to get them all together! I'll have to put in some bigger tables in when Kirby starts hanging out. I love that lot - I'm not very good at building in TS4, I rely heavily on lots from the gallery :lol: I'd love to see yours, if you build one! :D
Thanks Heather!! :)

Spoiler:
Granite Falls is always so pretty!

It’s fun to see what kind of randomly generated outfits the game comes up with for townies. Maybe Akira is embarrassed by his legs?

I’ve never seen the rainbows before when they sing. Maybe I should pay more attention!

I love it when sims actually like fruitcake.

I agree with the rest of the pals. I’m not a fan of the outdoors!

This looks like such a fun way to play!
Spoiler:
I think Dusty is my favourite. I actually love how you handled the rejected proposal - I never quite know what to do when the game throws those curve balls but you handled it well.

And I really need to explore more of San Myshuno. The game really is gorgeous, isn't it?

One of my favourite places in game!

That's a good explanation for those socks :lol: it is fun seeing what it comes up with!

Sparkles and rainbows, I swear! I'll try get a screenshot next time :D

Same! It's so rare!

I quite like the outdoors, but probably not camping :lol:
Jenga_Sims:
Spoiler:
I'm having such a great time playing this way!

I love Dusty, and I have always loved rolling with the curve balls sims tend to throw at me - even back with TS2! I guess it just makes things more interesting for me :)

There are parts of San Myshuno I have only just seen for the first time! It's such a pretty game!
Thanks guys! :hug:

I've been looking forward to getting another update! Good luck finishing up those renovations! :D
Spoiler:
I never noticed the little turtle on the back of the sketchpad, that's super cute! My Caleb lost his sketchpad, so I hope yours takes better care of his. :lol:

Love the little stealthy vampire puns in their finance conversation. :lol:

Caleb Dee would have been a pretty great surname for him, although Kirby Vatore definitely has a nicer ring to it. ;) Also, I want to know what kind of sorcery you used to get all those sims to sit the heck down for the wedding, because I cheat like a madwoman trying to guests to sit down at mine!

The picture of them with the umbrellas, rootbeer float, and Kirby's lil eyeball ring is really cute in particular. <3 And the misty bench picture!

Ugh, of course the new freelancer careers are buggy, too. :indifferent:

Vlad's got good taste in places to eat. He looks so happy with his bowl of ice cream!

Your Caleb is super cute. Makes me miss my own idiot. Maybe I need to figure out a way to resurrect him...

Thanks! :slaphappy:
Spoiler:
I didn't know they could lose their sketchpad :lol: Caleb is left his in the street or the hallway a couple of times already

Totally necessary :yes:

It probably suits Caleb better seeing as he's not the dark emo vampire he pretends to be :lol: Honestly, they took so long coming down the stairs to the seats I was beginning to think no one was going to watch - and I'm not convinced all the guests made it to the seats! :D

I really like the pictures I got in the mist :D They're such a cute couple

Can't have functioning things ! :roll:

Highlight of Vlad's long immortal life, I bet! :lol:

He is my favourite idiot :D Good luck with that, if you decide to go for it! :)
Thanks for stopping by! :hug:

I'm interested to see what Caleb gets up to in the Digital Artist career since I haven't played that one yet. It seems cool so far!

Well vampires technically don't need a bad, right?

Such a pretty view of the city!

Yes, the other Culpepper Pals need to hide from the vampire feeding frenzy!

Woo for alien abductions! Too bad that he didn't get pregnant.

Spoiler:
I really like it so far! I do wish it wasn't so glitchy though.

Technically not, the only reason they had it was for woohoo - and I guess for guests to sit on for some reason??

It's so nice up there!

Definitely lock the doors once a vampire party starts :lol:

I was hopeful that he would but nope, nothing came from it. Maybe some day? :D

What a lovely little update!
Spoiler:
It's always fun when they're struggling. Gives the game that much more of a challenge.
I haven't tried the new careers yet, shame they're so buggy. I do like that they're expanding options for earning money from home more than just off-the-lot.

Shame about the baby! Would have been great to have a vampire alien!

It really is, isn't it? :) I do love a bit of a challenge!
They're a lot of fun despite the bugs, but it is a shame there are bugs. I do like seeing what they come up with!

I was really hoping he came back pregnant, but oh well! :) Not meant to be, I guess!
I've been lurking lately as things in real life are pretty busy, but I'm sneaking in to drop off a new update for you guys! Enjoy! :)

Spoiler:
I love how many sims showed up for a party for a tiny cat. :lol: And Snickers is so cute! It's very easy to just spend half a rotation following the pets around. (And hey, I'm not going to complain if you do. ;))

Man, Salim really just does what he wants, huh? I think Fitness Jo and her new best friend Snickers are better off without him.

5am towel and sparkly collar guy looks like he's escaping from a hook-up gone wrong, lol. :lol:

Harvestfest has to be my least favourite holiday, between vampires that can't eat, and those darn gnomes! I always have to pull up a guide for them, too. At least they leave you some free money in the form of 500 seed packets?

Oh shit, I have never gotten that random food poisoning before! That is unfortunate for Jo, but really cool.

Doublefisting drinks is definitely the best way to handle parties.

Best reason to go to a party, right? :lol: It's just so easy to follow them, they're just so cute!

He really does! I know a lot of simmers like him but I can't get on with him at all. I think so, too! :)

Brilliant :lol:

I'm thinking of swapping it out for Halloween/Spooky Day or something. The seed packets do boost the bank balance, though :D

It is a really neat feature! Although Jo probably wouldn't agree :D

Totally agree!
Sorry I disappeared, I moved house! And then played a lot of Sims 1! But I'm back with an update :)
