Simmie Life w/Ceicbot

moving to a new space... 👋

hey everyone, ceicbot here. i’m packing things up on this dashboard and moving my simulation blogging over to Pika!

with the new space, i'm also officially shifting gears. i'm leaving the sims behind to focus entirely on Paralives. i really just wanted a fresh, clean platform to get creative, share builds, and start telling some fun stories.

the new page is still a bit of a work in progress while i get everything set up, but if you want to follow along with the new project and see what bots that don't sleep get up to next, come hang out with me at the new spot.

Because we were limited on time with the baby on the way, we had to move as soon as possible to have a nursery set up in time. Thankfully, we found the best realtor with the R/E company. Our main realtor, Nichole, was absolutely perfect and found us our forever home: a three-bedroom, two-bath, two-story house with a nice-sized yard in a great neighborhood in Willow Creek.

Moving from Strangerville was a major change for Brooke; she was used to the desert and vastness of Strangerville, and now she would have to adjust to the greenery of Willow Creek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Brooke and Tristan wanted to celebrate with their family in their new house. Brooke decided to host at their place, inviting Tristan's sister, brother-in-law, and nieces, as well as Brooke's cousin and uncle.

Re: photo - Brooke received the most compliments for her Thanksgiving dinner! She truly outdid herself with a menu featuring roasted chicken legs, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, a side of ham, and a fresh salad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: Photo - Technically 40 weeks! Our baby girl could arrive any day now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo - Just as they were heading to bed, Brooke got up to use the bathroom and realized that what she thought was Braxton Hicks contractions was actually her water breaking. Tristan, who loved to drive fast, sped faster than ever to the hospital. Thankfully, they had plenty of time, as Brooke was only just beginning her labor

Re: photo - The doctor checked Brooke and found that she was already 6 centimeters dilated. They explained that because her case was a cryptic pregnancy—where a woman is unaware she is pregnant until late in the pregnancy—the lack of prenatal care and monitoring can potentially result in a shorter labor. This was indeed happening quite rapidly for Brooke.

RATED M POST - TW: Birth

Re: photo - Go Time no turnin back

Photo - Well, Brooklyn was pregnant, which was wild! She couldn't believe it herself, but she also couldn't deny how much she loved the way her growing belly made her feel.

Brooke and Tristan decided to do a few more photoshoots since the news came as such a shock. By the time Brooke started showing, her doctors informed her that she was already six months pregnant!

Tristan and Brooke met their photographer at the Copperdale Boardwalk to capture some official photos of the two of them together.

Even though their relationship was new, they were both incredibly excited.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RATED R POST

Photo - The lovebirds still couldn't resist getting close…

"Isn't that how we ended up in this situation?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eight months pregnant…

Tristan looked around their one-bedroom tiny home.

"Yeah, I think we're going to need a bigger space."

As much as Brooke loved the little home she had bought herself, she knew it was time to expand.

Brooklyn Kulin

She's a young adult who lives in a one-bedroom tiny home with her naked mole rat aka a Sphynx cat named Obi. She once aspired to be a model but decided to pursue her love of fashion via college. She earned her bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and now has the opportunity to critique others on their fashion choices, though she prefers to use her skills to help and inspire others.

Originally, she gained attention for her involvement with her well-known ex-boyfriend, YouTuber Jarvis Mondo.

The two realized they had more in common as best friends than as partners, so they decided to call it quits. After enduring the drama and pain of their six-month relationship, she decided to try her luck on Cupid's Corner. There, she went on a few unsuccessful dates until she met Tristan....

Who knew her soulmate was just a swipe away? Now, they have some big news to share…

Hi friends,

So, I've got some not-so-great news to share… I absolutely ADORED my last family—I still do! Sadly, there was a corruption in the file, and all the progress I made was lost. Honestly, it burned me out a bit, and I'm just over it LOL. But hey, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, right?

I'm definitely not giving up! It's time for a fresh start with a new family, and I'm actually getting kinda excited about it. Soooo, who's ready to meet the next focus😂 Stay tuned, because this new journey is gonna be amazing! 💫

Heres some sweet screenshots from what was lost and im sad sad lol

Re: photo- Adriel and Amiee in their first house with their baby boy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo - Adriel popped the question to Amiee, theyve been best friends and lovers for years and finally he had saved enough to get a ring and propose to his best friend (Duh, she said yes)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo - Little Leia as a teenager, cute as ever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo - Everyone aged up, Leia is a teenager and Izzy is a cute little kid.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo- Ayla googling: "how to get married with three children, two under two"

Issabelle Cata Naranjo was born a few months prior. She was definitely an unexpected oops when Ayla took a solidarity pregnant test with her friends…and her test had come out positive

Re: photo - It was difficult having two kids under the age of two, but she loved that her little girls would be built in best friends

Issabelle was hitting her milestones quickly and easily. Ayla thought this was because Leia and her were so close in age that they were able to learn from each other.

Re: photo- My first babygirl, Leia

Re: photo- Tummy time with Izzy. "You can do it babygirl"

Re: photo- Leia my picky picky girl

Re: photo- Leia can sleep anywhere

{AKA Time is relative and doesn't work the same way. So shhhhh}

Adriel was 8 years old and was having his first sleepover! His two best friends were the only ones staying over after the party.

Re: photo- Happy 8th Birthday Adriel!

Re: Photo - Best friends, Amiee and Stuart came over the bday sleepover

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: Photo - Leia loves to be artistic and play in makeup just like mommy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: photo- small achievements is getting the girls to take their naps at the same time .... well so I thought...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aimee and Adriel had been best friends since they were in kindergarten, so it was natural for them to get closer to each other as they got older. As they both were entering 4th grade, Adriel asked Aimee if she would be his girlfriend and she said, "yeah okay sure."

Last we heard from the Naranjo-Rocca household. They had moved into their first official house and were homeowners of a nice 3 bedroom with a pool house in Newcrest. Adriel was blossoming and being an adorable baby let's see what they're up to now…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ayla had decided to rid the purple and to try something a little more natural looking so she decided to go completely Blonde!

She also was in her 3rd trimester, pregnant with Baby #2! This time they were having a little girl and Ayla and Paolo were over the moon she couldn't believe that life could be so perfect she had also finally published her first book in her series and had a 5 book deal contract so she knew for the next couple of years she felt confident in her writing (and her income). Paolo was also doing well in sports, he had begun playing Semi- Professional Soccer and was in a couple of amateur leagues and was being talked about throughout the big names everything was looking up…except for one thing

Their wedding.

Ayla and Paolo kept trying to plan for the wedding and as soon as they wanted to get dates and venues booked another event would arise and they would have to pause and postpone the wedding. At this time, Adriel was 2 years old, and they were expecting their Babygirl any day now, maybe this year they could finally tie the knot.

Re: Photo- things were looking up but would they ever be able to get married??!

Speak of the devil… as Ayla got up from the bed to use the bathroom, suddenly--

her water broke.

Baby Time!

When Ayla and Paolo arrived to the hospital they noted that Ayla wasnt dialted yet and her contractions were pretty far apart, thankfully the maternity wing wasnt too full so they allowed Ayla to set up and labor within the hospital. So she changed into some comfy clothes and meditated before the real pain was to set in. Little did she know she was in for a bit of a wait…

She thought for sure Babygirl would come any moment, the aches and pain of the contractions were getting stronger, but the doctor kept telling her she had a ways to go before she was dilated enough. She asked Paolo if he would just hold her, she didn't realize how easy it had been with Adriel…

Everything hurt. The nurses kept insisting that she was right on track and that babygirl would come in her own time, all Ayla could do was cling to Paolo and let the silent tears fall. She was mostly exhausted….

At this point, Ayla was basically being held up by Paolo for support, the nurse insisted that Ayla staying upright would help gravity bring the baby down easier

Finally, 310AM Leia Mun Naranjo was born!

Re: Photo - Why must kids put everything in their mouths

Leia and Adriel, they were her life. She updated her bio - Part-time author. Full time Mom of two. She couldn't be happier.... maybe this year she could finally add Wifey....

Thank you to all the creators!! Your mods and CC make my creations come to life. I love you guys truly!

Meet Ayla Naranjo (Ay-La)

She is the daughter of Agatha Naranjo and Joseph Naranjo. She is the youngest of 5 children: Her Eldest brother Israel, Big sister Fatima, Middle brother Leland, and Youngest Older brother, Fabien

Re: Photo - Sissy time w/ Fatima

Re: Photo - Bro bro w/ Leland

Re: photo - I love mah momma (thanks for the photobomb Le -_-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was raised by her single parent mother because her dad, Joseph Naranjo had unfortunately passed away from cancer when Ayla was in middle school. Ayla and her siblings were actually step siblings. Agatha had been previously married before Joseph to Roy Kim and had 4 children with him, but he was unexpectedly killed in a car accident. Soon after, Agatha attended a Widow/Widowers Grieving Meeting and connected with Joseph through their past tragedies, which he had also experienced a loss with a car accident in which he lost his first wife and daughter. They were able to find solace in each other and married which resulted in Ayla!

Re: Photo - Agatha Naranjo (back in the day)

Sooooooo Meet Ayla Naranjo And Paolo Rocca.

Ayla and Paolo met when they were neighbors at the 21 Chic St Apartments in downtown San Myshuno. Ayla was interning at Publishers Publishing Co in the art district and Paolo was finishing his Sports Management Degree at the university. One afternoon when his class had let out early, he checked the mail and ran into a beautiful young woman with purple hair...

To say they hit it off is an understatement.

Re: photo -  Date night with the cutie in Apt 1071

Re: photo - “give me your best “model” face”

Re: photo - Great food, Great location, Even better Company <3

Soon Ayla found Paolo staying at her house "because it was closer to campus"

Re: Photo - "Does this man live here? in MY apartment" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few months of steady dating, Paolo received his Masters Degree in Sports Medicine and Ayla signed with an Editor so that she could begin her writing career. 

Paolo popped the question! Of course she said yes!! 

Re: photo - "Team Bride Party with the Bride-To-Be"

Re: Photo - "The Wedding Dress" 

As the wedding neared closer, Ayla was feeling sick more and more and so she decided to take herself to the doctor to make sure that it wasn't anything too important-- and that's when she found out that the second bedroom was going to need a bit of a makeover....

Re: Second bedroom gets a little makeover.... a wonderful oops! 

Ayla loved her dress and didn't want to stretch it out, so they decided to pause on the wedding until after the baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Months went by quicker than they expected and before you know it April 2nd had arrived.

Re: photo - PUSH!

Re: Photo- Its a boy!!!

Re: Photo - Adriel Ravi Naranjo was born into the world!

Re: photo - Baby Boy you are beyond loved. My little love

Re: photo - Shocking how natural this feels

Re: Photo - My son <3 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As tiny as Adriel was Paolo didn't feel like this tiny apartment was good for his little family, so he took a major leap and decided to set down roots and bought a house in Newcrest that was less hustle and bustle of the city and more family orientated.

Re: photo - First time homeowner!!

Re: Photo - Its wild how natural it felt being in the new house and having space for the baby things (that Adriel didn't need)

Re: photo - Baby boy in sight and workin out right! 

Sooooo its been a little while...

I actually made a move to Ts4 because my computer was crashing every time with Sims 3.

Soooo we are going to be starting over with a new family.

The twins are living their best life and everyone is happy.

A few weeks later the family has settled back down into normal life.

Gianna was starting kindergarten and talking more and more and wanted more playtime now that she was active in school.

Re: photo - Some mommy playtime with Gigi

A few months nearing December..Alamea took Ekram aside..

Alamea: "hey love soooo remember about 4 ish years ago and i called you at work to come home..." *Ekram thinks hard* Ekram: "--wait...are you saying..." Alamea: "Ready for baby #2?"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

August was soon approaching faster than they realized and so sometime in February Alamea and Ekram decided to mail their Baby Shower invites with a fun little spoilery photo.

Re: photo- The front of the invitation card read: We're overwhelmed with so much joy, because we are expecting a BOY!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The baby shower was small and intimate. A few friends and mainly family

Re: photo - Pregnant photo with the Mantu Twins..DeJa Vu anyone?

Alamea thought itd be fun to have pictures that doubled around the same time for the birth of the kids. But not using her own camera was a mistake. Certainly a photo for the scrapbook

Re: photo- Owwwww mom why is your front facing flashlight on!

All in all when presents were opened and games were played, Gianna was put in bed and food was cleaned. Alamea was grateful to cozy up with her husband and have some private quiet time before the next day of chaoticness

They had a busy busy weekend. They had planned the Baby Shower to be on Friday night because tomorrow was Giannas 5th Birthday. They were throwing her a Park Day At Home with a few of her classmates from school and were very excited!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Park Day At Home was a complete success!

All the kids had the best time and it was great to socialize with like minded adults and meet their families.

Re: photo- We used a Rent-a-Park deal to bring "A Park" to us and it was a hit. They set everything up and it was so fun to be near the house but have a personal park right next door to our house for a few hours

The photographer did an amazing job getting the reactions of our friends and family. I love how everyone came out.

Re: photo-A VERY Proud Momma

Re; photo- The view of our family and friends

Re: photo- Every Kiss begins with K

Re: photo- We're no one without our loved ones!

Re: photo- Tears were shed, but they were happy tears

Re: photo- Bridesmaids lookin Snatched!

It was now time for the Wedding reception!

Alamea and Ekram understood and appreciated everyone coming to the wedding and so they didn't expect everyone to stick around for the reception but a handful of the bridesmaids. They had rented out a patio attachment to the wedding hall that held a karaoke machine and unlimited fountain drinks, it also overlooked the wonderful beaches of Oahu.

Re: photo- Alamea and Kameo decided to entertain their friends with their rendition of, "We Are Family"

Alamea: " I got my BROTHER with me!"

Alamea & Kameo: "..Get up everybody and SING."

Re: photo- Maid of Honor, Natalie decided to sing A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Re: photo- Alamea and Ekram have always loved that song and they were honored to have the song be their first dance as Husband and Wife

The day has finally come! Family have flew in and friends have RSVPd and now they were arriving.

The wedding of Ekram and Alamea Kocak has begun!

The bridesmaids were done up and Alamea and Ekram decided to skip the formalities and be out amongst their friends and family and greet everyone. The wedding would be later in the evening and that allowed for everyone to have enough time to find the location.

Alamea looked to Ekram

"i cant believe this day is finally here, i love you"

Suddenly, it was time! It was as if everyone else disappeared and it was just the two lovebirds.

Ekram: "..i do take thee to be my wedded wife, legally, forever"

Alamea: "yeah you better"

*laughs from family*

Alamea: "and i take you to be my wedded husband, legally, forever"

And just like that, it was official!

World!

Meet Alamea and Ekram Kocak!

Happiness was an understatement!

Happily Forever and Ever

The Kocak Family

Summer was here again and that meant fun time in the sun but also Gianna and Emmy were both summer babies so Alamea decided to host a double Birthday/Summer celebration party for her little sister and her daughter. As Alamea shopped for birthday celebrations and snag enough hot dogs to accommodate the party members, Ekram was on his own shopping for something...special...

Re: Photo - Gettin Gigi Party ready

Re: photo -(Ekrams POV) I’m one lucky Fish to live amongst such beautiful Mermaids <3

The party was a hit and Alameas "cupcake" was now 16 years old. Lord have mercy Emmy was a teenager!

Re: photo- Watch out Hawaii. Emmy is 16 years old

In a lull between the partying, Ekram pulled Alamea aside. He looked her in the eye and there was a twinkle in them. Alamea: Babe, everything alright? I think the party is goin great Ekram: ...yeah no, your parties are always great fun...but i uh...wanted to talk with you...I just.. Alamea: *nervous* What is it? Ekram:..You are such an amazing woman. And our daughter which is amazing that i can even say, but You’re an amazing mother as well. You take care of our household and our daughter and I’m not home until I see you and Gigi. I love you so much. You are my heart and you deserve everything and i want to provide that for you...

Alamea:..babe..what are you saying..?

Alamea: OMG!

Ekram: Alamea, Will you marry me?

Alamea: Yes! YES! YESSSS!!!

Ekram popped the question and Alamea, excitedly answered Yes! The party was now a 3 reason celebration!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flash forward a couple months the newly engaged couple are planning the most perfect wedding. Alamea had been calling her friends from college and making sure everyone would be available on the perfect date.

Gigi was also now becoming a big girl and Alamea was excited that their daughter would be able to be apart of their special day.

Re: photo - Gianna "Gigi" and Momma <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally a date was chosen! The venue was reserved and paid for. September 26th would be the perfect night for a wedding. Everyone cleared their calendars and invitations were sent out. Although Alamea and Ekram loved their family they felt that they were so close that a party with their friends who they never got to see would keep the party to a minimum but also keep it financially possible. While the extended family was disappointed that they wouldn't be able to attend they sent their love and congratulations.

Re: photo - Alameas family and friends threw Alamea a bachelorette party near the beach at a silly restaurant. Strippers included!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks before the wedding date, Alamea and Ekram planned their wedding photos. They weren't worried about seeing each other in their wedding clothes before the ceremony because they knew they were destined to be together. They had an amazing life and a wonderful daughter. They didn't need that type of luck, they were already lucky

Re: photo - Taken, Happily Taken

The night before The Big Day the family spent some time together watchin tv--well snoozin. 

A family that snoozes together, stays together.
