Yes I'm still playing through the rotation and I have some more picspam to share with you all.

The next house on my list was Stanley's.  He's currently living in a clone of the observers house from the BC.  All I've done is take out the CC ceilings and replace them with AL ones.

Anyway the welcome wagon contained a sim who lives on the other side of the village.



Yup Orikes, your simself has now been Victorianized and has met Stanley.  They actually hit it off pretty well and ended up playing pool for ages.  Why's Stanley in his gym kit? I hear you ask.  Simple, the boy likes practising yoga.



In the middle of the road no less.  I'm sure that this is so that any passing ladies see his toned body.  You just have to love this sim, you really do.

He is still being himself, as the following pictures show.






Doesn't Circe look thrilled?  I really thought that it would be a bad conversation. but actually it was good one and they got on really well.

Stanley lives opposite the last building I play at the moment in the main 'hood.  It is an apartment building I downloaded from Parsimonious and contains 3 families, only 2 of which are part of the rotation.  It's not the nicest lot to play because the flats and public areas are too small really.  I've found this with some terrace houses I downloaded as well.  Builders please make at least one bedroom big enough for a double bed!

Anyway the first family I have to play in this building is Abigail's (Vi and Thomas's daughter)

Abigail has married Shane Wong, whom she met at uni.  He has the Remington Harris face.



In order to keep her slightly oder than Alexandra I had to play for slightly longer than the other houses, plus I used boolprop to speed up her pregnancy.  As is so often the case she gave birth in the bathroom.



Did you know neighbours living inthe same apartment building will rush in to witness the birth?  I didn't so I laughed when this resident rushd in and them prompty complained that the sink was in her way.




Ah she looks so much like her father in that first picture.  Bee and Becca are the family that aren't part of the rotation in the building.

She watched the birth and then stayed to use the barre.



The barre was the first thing that she headed to when she moved into her flat too.



Poor Bee stood behind her for ages waiting to talk to her.

Abigail had a little boy called Basil who soon became a cute toddler



And an even cuter little boy.





I can honestly see him being a heart-breaker.  Generation 4 really has thrown some good genetics.

Both Abigail and Shane are family sims, and although I won't be going for their LTWs (they both want to marry off 6 children) I did relent and let them have one more.

No prizes for guessing who was present at the birth again.



Their second child is a little girl called Amelia, and she is a sweetie.



My simdaughters seem to cause havoc in the building, and I have had such a laugh playing it, both in Abigail's flat and Carmen and Laura's.

Becca likes to witness sims giving birth, Bee likes to block pathways.



And get struck by lighting in the hot springs out the back.




Alright Bee?

"I've been better."  Her face then glitched like that for ages.

Oh, interesting fact, naked hot tubbers put a swim suit on to get into a hot spring.

Becca has given me quite a few banned 4 lyfe moments.



"See anything you like?"



"Oh yes!  Er I mean..."

No word of a lie, straught after Becca started to talk to him about bangs and bombs.



And then Bee came and stood behind them both.



I love my simdaughters.

Oh and the next day Becca did this:



I did laugh.

Stanley was a frequent visitor when I was playing Carmen and Laura.  Because of his proximity and outgoing points he comes over nearly everyday, lets himself in and does things like this:



Becca approves by the way:



It really makes me glad that I had Carmen argue with Stan and get rid of her crush whilst they were at uni.  She has tried to give him a backrub though.

Poor Carmen spent most of the rotation eating grilled cheese sandwiches.  She's up to 74 now, and is always gold or platinum.



The penultimate house to share is Samuel's.  Sam is Abigail's brother, and I forgot he was in the simbin.  Because of that I had to play/cheat him through two and a bit rotations.  He's living in one of the tiny terrace houses with no double bed.  He has a photobooth instead.

Poor Sam is a bit thick.  I had him invite over his fiancee, but he couldn't work out that he had to open the door to greet her and not try to do it through the wall.



He also did it when he invited over his family to witness his wedding.



"I've just walked through the hall to try to greet Doc, but I can't because the wall is in the way."

Thankfully Doc, unlike Samuel, has a brain and knows about doors, so she walked into the house to be greeted.



She then did a chest pound because it's epidemic in the neighbourhood.

Anyway, Samuel married Heather Schwebber, one of the slobs. 



Surprisingly, he does know how to use cutlery.



They have one daughter, Susannah.




She takes after Samuel. 

Last house I've played so far is Alexandra's.  I still have 3 days there actually, but I wanted to share some pics i have already.

There is so much hate between Alexandra and Joe and Anthony and Joe.  First morning I was in their house, this happened.



"Mwhahaha, I am going to steal your paper."

"Grr Joe I HATE you."

"Is he here again?  Joe I told you to stay away from Alexandra and I."



"Grr I am going to flamey-thought balloon Anthony as I steal the paper."



"Well I am going to stand here flamey-thought ballooning you whilst you try and fail to get off of our front step."

Alexandra can be a bit of a stern mother at times.  She lectures the twins when they fill their nappies.



True she then fingerguns the twins, but this is one of the reasons I love her so much.

She is a good mother though.



Even if she does flamey-thought balloon their biological father in front of them.



The twins have no had a birthday, and all I can say is that there is no mistaking that Joe is their father.




Christopher looks so much like Joe it's scary.  I'm going to have to extract him and grow him up in body shop to see if he inherited anything from Alexandra.



Bethany has Joe's nose, but Alexandra's mouth, and what looks to me like William's chin.  I used to think that Alexandra had William's chin until I painted her portrait at the Acadamie and hung it next to Charlotta's.  She actually has Beth's chin.  Anyway I think that they are adorable, and I look forward to playing them as they get older.

That's all the pictures for now. 

I've started work on the recap chapter, and I'm making ok progress, but I haven't really felt like writing much the last few days, so I could have more done if I'd put my mind to it.  I've also finshed the second set for my plan with Joe, but bcause it doesn't look like much when it doesn't have sims sitting in it, I'm not sharing pictures yet.  This means I have one more set to build and then I can start shooting on it.  I want to get that done before the next proper chapter.  So yeah I'm busy and I have more to do.

YAY! I'm time travelin'!!! That's awesome. And it's equally awesome that I got to meet THE Stanley and hit it off with him. Apparently my self-sim is generally pretty easy going. :)

I always get a kick out of seeing Bee and Becca, so it's cool to see them here as well. And it's obvious they haven't changed all that much. Did you actually link their family ties to you and Indy?

The kids are adorable, even the Joe Spawn. Basil is gorgeous. He's probably going to be a looker when he grows up. Even if Christopher has Joe's mouth, he's probably going to overcome it with his personality. :)

Yay for Victorian Picspam!

I am adding more simselves at the moment and I thought that you wouldn't mind travelling back in time. :) Your simself and Stanley really do get on well.

Bee and Becca are just so much fun to have around. I've not sorted the family ties yet, but I will.

I really do think that Basil will be gorgeous when he grows up, and I'm sure that Christopher will be lovely, because he is being brought up to two wonderful sims.

At least you've got an easy going simself. I've heard my simself tends to like to beat people up on community lots.

Ooo have you got a simself available for download? Since you made a couple of suggestions as to what Joe's punishment should be I'd like you there to witness the short term stuff.

There I be. My simself has been around for.. ages but since I was gone for awhile I don't think she's been used in anything. If you're gonna use her, she's Knowledge, a Leo, likes beards and black hair, and usually wears red.

Hope I didn't overwhelm you with those requests.

Yay for picspam! Those are some great shots, Di :). I love the toddlers, and I hear you on apartments being too small for a double bed. That's one of my biggest annoyances as well.

This is shaping up to be such a fun rotation this time. So many funny things are happening, and of course I'm seeing lots of babies grow up.

It annoys me so much when I can't fit a double bed in, and of course with apartments it means finding the right cheat to be able to move a few walls.

Yay for Victorian Picspam!

It's nice to see Stanley being Stanley.

Becca and Bee never fail to crack me up. If you still had ACR in, I'm sure Becca would already have gotten friendly with Stanley.

Cute toddlers! The "Joe" genes do seem to be dominant. One can only hope that Alexandra/Anthony babies will get some more of Alexandra's features.

I love Stanley being Stanley, it's why I couldn't have him settle down. he makes me smile so much when I play him.

I love having Bee and Becca around. They were always up to something this rotation. I am thinking about having Becca and Stan meet. I think that I could have a lot of fun with that.

Joe's gene are dominant definitely. I've grown both the kid up and whilst Bethany takes after Alexandra more, Christopher, is certainly Joe's son. The only thing he gets from Alexandra is the Legacy brow (yay) and his cheeks aren't as puffy as Joe's.

There should be an Anthony baby on its way by the end of the rotation.

Bee and Becca are so much fun. I think Becca would be more than a match for Stanley! Bee just loves to meet people. Becca wants to get them into bed. I swear, I burned through so many Love Tubs when she was in college...

I really, really do want to get Becca and Stan together. I can just imagine it. I might have to move Laura out of that apartment building though, otherwise there will be slapping!

Aw, Stanley! You had better enjoy your ladies in that dimension, because you're getting hitched in mine! Muahahaha!

Geez, Di, your simdaughters are gorgeous!

LOL at Alexandra and flamey-bubbles for Joe. Cute kids, but I really wish the twins had taken after Alexandra more. *pout* Better luck with Anthony, eh? I hope they get his gorgeous green eyes. =D

I am really looking forward to seeing what Stanley gets up to in Simshire. :D

Everytime they're on screen I'm struck by how beautiful they are, btu I have to say that their father is to thank for it. Both Bee and Becca inherited only one feature from my simself. Bee has her eyes, and Becca her mouth. Everything else is Indy.

Alexandra flamey-thouhgt bubbles Joe A LOT. She absolutely hates him.

I've grown up all the kids in this post in body shop and Bethany actually has a lot of Alexandra's features. She is beautiful.

I really can not wait to see what Anthony and Alexandra's children will look like.

From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
If you take a good look at Bee, I think she inherited SimDi's nose and cheekbones. The nose difference is pretty subtle, but it's there, and the cheekbones don't look like Indy/Raven's to me. I think if you swapped her to a lighter skintone, she'd look more like your SimSelf. Becca, however, does seem to be mostly Indy.

Date: 2008-12-01 06:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dicreasy.livejournal.com
Yeah I think you're right. The reason Bee's cheekbones look different to SimDi's is her face is longer. Her nose is a bit of a mystery though, because it's narrower than Di's and doesn't seem to turn up as much at the tip. It's also longer.

Becca is definitely Indy's daughter. Gender swap her and you get Indy with a different mouth.

Date: 2008-12-01 07:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
I wonder if Bee's nose isn't the result of SimDi's nose being stretched out a bit due to her face being a bit longer. Because it's not the same nose that Becca has, which is Indy's, and it's DEFINITELY not the SDN, so it HAD to have come from SimDi.

Becca did get a great mix of both SimDi and Indy, that's for sure.

Date: 2008-12-01 08:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dicreasy.livejournal.com
Could be, that might be why it looks narrower.

Yay Picspam!

I love Stnalet, I must say that just in case I haven't mentionned it in the last 30 seconds.

Ok, no offense to your sim Daughter Di, because I love Bee and Becca and they're totally gorgeous, but when I saw Becca there was a split second before I recognized her where I went "Di has a Victorian prostitute living in her neighbourhood"

The Twins are adorable!

I think everyone loves Stanley, and he would certainly love everyone given the chance.

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be offended lol. I will admit that when I first downloaded it and saw it in body shop my first thought was "tart." I've been waiting for a female romance sim with the right attitude to wear it ever since. Given the fact that she is permaplat in Riverblossom Hills thanks to the 20 woohoo LTW, it seemed the sort of dress she'd like.

I think that the twins are adorable too. My brother walked into the room whilst I was taking the pictures of them, and said he thinks Christopher looks deranged, but what does he know?

From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
Heh. Becca was Permaplat off of 20 WooHoos, then rolled Professional Party Guest, and now she's on 20 Simultaneous Lovers. She is a Romance Sim through and through.

...She's not getting the 20 Simultaneous Lovers, though.

I can answer Becca's! It's Nouk.

From: [identity profile] orikes13.livejournal.com
Ooer. Do you know which hair? I have a bunch of Nouk, but I don't think I have that one. Though, it is possible I already have it and I'm just a doofus with too much cc.

Date: 2008-12-01 07:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dicreasy.livejournal.com
That is a very good question about Basil's hair. Answer I have no idea. I've popped it into an empty AGS to get the tooltip in that bodyshop and it says it's a Dachs edit. I might have got it from simscave then or her site when it was up. I can't get simscave to work for me at the moment to check.

If you want it, I can always pop it on my box.net. There's a female conversion of it too.

Date: 2008-12-01 07:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] leaths.livejournal.com
Well, I don't know about Orikes, but I would love for you to put up that hair. It's such a perfect boy hair. I need more "normal" boy hairs. A lot of the male hairs out there are too trendy for some of my sims.

From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
"A lot of the male hairs out there are too trendy for some of my sims."

Or too feminine, or designed for a guy with an "anime" face--really really narrow jaw and not much of a chin. I got rid of a bunch of that in my last CC-cull, because aside from my actual aliens, my male Sims all have strong jaws and chins. And I have despaired of finding CC hair that doesn't glitch through the facial features on my Uglacy guys.

Ok, I've popped them on my Box.net.

They are slightly gappy.

From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
Slightly gappy I can live with. It's when they're visibly gappy in CAS that you wonder why Rose/Peggy uploaded them. And they you giggle that you didn't actually PAY for them, and delete them.

Date: 2008-12-01 08:44 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dicreasy.livejournal.com
I made the mistake not long after I discovered CC and before I knew about the Booty and the whole paysite issue of buying a one month subscription at Peggy. NEVER AGAIN! I deleted all but two of the hairs as soon as I had them in body shop.

These really aren't that bad at all I don't think.

Date: 2008-12-01 09:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] docnerd.livejournal.com
Some of those hairs are just such a visible WTF that you don't even bother downloading them. And the true horror of some of the others doesn't manifest until you get into CAS or BodyShop. The gonads it takes to make people pay for some of that crap is staggering. I mean, Nouk's hairs are never obviously gappy, and the few gaps I've found are at odd angles. And those are all free hairs!

Oddly, Archie's hair, which seems to be based on a base game mesh, gapped really badly when he was a Teen, but less so as an Adult.

Date: 2008-12-01 09:43 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dicreasy.livejournal.com
I know. There was one hair I got from the booty, I can't remember who it was by, that had a huge gap in body shop. For the lulz I went into the game and CAS to see what it was like when the sim was animated. It looked like half the back of her head was missing.

I was astounded that the artist was expecting people to pay for shite like that when they obviously hadn't looked at it in game. Artists such as Nouk put them to shame.

That mesh that Archie's hair is based on does odd things in my game at times. I was playing around in body shop yesterday and aged down Anthony. His forehead was clipping his hair slightly as a child at the hair line. No reason for it to be happening, and it looks fine as an adult.

Christopher and Bethany are lovely, even if they take after Joe.

Basil is adorable too. I can't wait to see him grow up.
