TS4 stories returning soon!
need to catch up on Boxes & Squares before we start again?
Boxes and Squares is an ensemble drama series about a wandering group of misfits trying to live their lives boldly, no matter the consequences. Jordan wants to escape, Maria just wants to love him, Colette wants to crucify him, and Ingrid is just playing games… probably. New friends and lovers enter the picture, highlighting the messy and beautiful connections between imperfect people as they search for adventure, love, belonging, forgiveness, and what it means to be home.

Even though we are pausing their story for now, we still need to give baby Eris her first birthday cake so she can join her sister in toddlerhood!
True to character, big sister is clingy and jealous of all the attention little sis is getting today! 😆
[Note to give Cassie the jealous trait when she's grown!]
Who wants a bite of baby-spit flavored cake?
Never mind this little CC hiccup. 😳 Her hair is not meant to be that color.
Cassie says, "Who are you?"
Then we have two toddlers in the house, at least until September when Cassie ages up for her 4th birthday. We think Cassie might enjoy her little sister more now that they have more in common.
February birthdays:
2: Naomi Gibson is 6
3: Lilian Riley-Kim is 7 (Justin & Steph's middle kiddo)
4: Hope Phoenix is 3 (Hayden & Piper's youngest)
7: Ronnie Steele is 32
7: Samuel Harris is 18 (age up!)

February anniversaries:
2/18/2068: Maxwell & Valerie Shaw, 21 years
And here is Lucy & Sarah's little brother, Sam, aging up into young adulthood. He grew up so cute! I think he looks a lot like Sarah.
He didn't get any graduation distinctions because I neglected his gameplay in these recent years and he had a C for grades, lol! Oops! Being a perfectionist, he's probably very mad at me for that. But his traits do earn him +2 in health points for being outgoing and perfectionist.
We'll likely hear a lot more from him when he goes off to SNU in the fall and in Delphie & Dakota's stories when those start up.
Also in February, JoJo turned 5. Her family's stories have been going so slow and for so long I feel like she should be a teenager by now, lol! But no, she's only just turning 5 and she'll start kindergarten in the fall.
We kind of skipped over everybody who has a January birthday in the recent stories, just because, well, I didn't feel like doing birthdays for a while, lol! But we will still mark some of these for time keeping purposes. Nobody this month has an aging-up birthday this year, so it's not a big deal that we glossed over them.
Remember this time Colette stalked Darwin's date and had a spectacular time doing so?
In the story, this would have taken place just after New Year's, so we're going to make it canon that it was Colette's 32nd birthday on January 4th, and she was just taking herself out for a good time. We forgot her birthday last year, too, so maybe she was feeling extra salty, lol!
Last year, Maria got a whole chapter devoted to her birthday, so this year we'll just imagine her 27th birthday was lovely and her family gave her lots of pampering.
Carly and Kyle had a nice dinner out a little bit ago, so we can imagine that was in part to celebrate her turning 34 as well has his turning 32 next month.
The same night and restaurant where Violet and Orion had dinner with that mystery girl to celebrate their 27th anniversary?
January birthdays:
3: Erin Close is 45
4: Colette Marin is 32
5: Lane Rodriguez is 10
7: Cora Lawrence is 28
8: Paris Wynn is 13
9: Martha Booth is 52 (Bentley's mom)
11: Audrey Roseland is 49 (Colette's only friend)
17: Carly Cook is 34
19: Hayley Sanders is 46
21: Jeremiah Day is 32 (Stephanie's crazy ex & Willow's dad)
22: Liza Hathe is 20
23: Amorra Pendleton is 57 (Jamie & Jessica's mom)

January anniversaries:
1/21/2062: Orion & Violet Deppiesse, 27 years
Please don't worry if you don't know who most of these sims are! I have nearly 300 sims between legacy heritage and friends/ex-lovers who have joined the timeline over the years, and I do keep track of their aging in time. Even I forget who some of them are sometimes, and that's what blog tags are for! 🤣
Delphie & Dakota, freshman year at Sierra Nova University, spring 2089
Their story is going to be fun! It's going to be so juicy to get absolutely lost in! Someday...
This is just a little note to say that I still absolutely LOVE these girls and they will still totally get that story. But as I've mentioned, we will move on to visit Selena and Summer in the next batch of stories instead, after which, we will return to our Boxes & Squares characters. So I will need to pause the Deppiesse family story that I only just started, lol!
Some reasons why...
When I first imagined these stories, I wanted them to be just a quickie little short story in between Boxes & Squares chapters. But as I picked at this little story for them, it got bigger and bigger. More characters got involved (Andre and Karla) and their parts got bigger, too. Then it felt like it needed so much backstory and setup before we could properly begin. Then I needed to introduce "new" characters who weren't really new at all and came with so much history. Then what was supposed to be their little short story left off with so much forward momentum (a good thing!), but that momentum would be wasted if we didn't continue with those threads.
It just got bigger and bigger and needed more and more. It started to give me a little existential crisis, because y'all, we need to finish Boxes & Squares first before we start an entire new giant saga!
Especially when B&S has come all this way over the last couple years and is nearing its hard-earned ending with book 6. This was all giving me an overwhelming feeling of unfinished business.
Easy fix. I'm just going to pause these Deppiesse family stories for now and finish my business!
Then the Deppiesse girls and their family and friends (and the expedition into space!) will have the freedom to become as large and sprawling as they want to be, and they will carry the next "round" of the timeline from about 2090 forward.
What will come next?
We still owe baby Eris her first birthday party! Even if their story is paused, the littlest Deppiesse girl still needs to grow up! 🎂
And some other notable birthdays to celebrate from January - March 2089
Selena & Summer mini book (only 3 chapters) will start next week. These stories *are* totally B&S adjacent, you will see how as we get into it. Selena and Summer stories run from March to April in the timeline.
B&S book 6 comes next, covering April 2089 through the beginning of 2090 to "complete" those stories. After which they will live on (happily ever after 85% guaranteed!) in gameplay.
Then, around spring/summer 2090, we will start the next round of stories, which will follow the Deppiesse family, the launch of the Cassiopeia mission (also featuring Keri & Bentley), the Deppiesse girls and their friends at SNU, and Andre and Karla will fit in here, too.
Sorry if anyone was super looking forward to that one. I think only 5 people even saw it, so hopefully the five of you can forgive me for that oops, and we will try it again properly later! 🤪
Selena only needs one man in her life. His name is Fabio. He has a long, flowing mane, he drinks from the toilet, and he will never ever disappoint her.
This is a good faith offering that I have opened my TS4 game and started picking at a new chapter. I am having fun with the game and not trying to fight with it! These sims are giving me gold, so I'm looking forward to sharing.
But this summer has me worn out and doesn't plan to stop, so I might need a couple weeks longer before it's ready. I might post some reruns in the meantime since it's been so long since we visited Selena. Looking to start new stories around the middle of August.
In other news, my garden is thriving! Finished my pool and been floating in it. And my kiddo brought home a summertime cold from ESY. 🤧
I finished reading Yesteryear, and that shit was bananas! 😳🤔😶 If you have also read it, I would like someone to talk to.
We watched Hamnet, which destroyed me in such a lovely way! ❤️ But now I want to read Hamlet again, as an adult, because the study of literature is lost on 20-year-olds who are working two jobs while going to uni. 😵💫 We did 10 plays and a short essay on each of them, all in one semester, and I know I wrote most of those essays at 3am after getting home from my waitressing job, and I don't remember a damn thing. Somehow I got a C in that class. I know Shakespeare professors are notoriously hard, but my essays were garbage, lol!
The little cold my kid brought home ended up being a whole big sinus disaster. We even had to cancel a camping trip over it. (Well, the illness and the never ending daily thunderstorms! Like, I'll still go camping if I'm a little sick, but not if everybody's super sick and the weather is also terrible!) 😭 Now I'm still snotty almost two weeks later and pretty sure it's turned into a giant sinus infection. Ick. Not how I wanted to spend my last weeks of summer. 🤧
But I have a little bit of gameplay I can put together to post. It's been a while since I checked up on everybody's birthdays in the timeline, so I actually have a few age-ups to share!
Then I can also queue up some reruns for Selena before we start her chapters, and hopefully by next week we'll have some real stories happening?
Excuse me while I go blow my eyeballs out through my nostrils! 😵

It's not Colette's turn in the stories for a little while, but I stumbled upon these mods and they screamed her name! I had to have them! 😂
Both by Wicked Pixell // Hot Mess (trait) // Messy Relationships (gameplay interactions)
There are a lot of choices and I haven't tried them all yet. They mostly seem to function as insults in game, which Colette loves!
He was a little bit offended, but mostly he admires her excellent taste in decor! Now I need to find him a "loves being insulted" trait, and these two can just go off with their disastership.
Hey friends! I bring you, EVEN MORE sleeping overrides!
Give every Sim a more personal way to sleep! This version replaces the EA sleeping position with nine (9) custom sleep poses and adds a preference system so you can choose how each of your Sims sleeps.
Included Sleep Poses
Arm Under Pillow
On Back
On Side, Lay On Arm
Arm Hanging Off Bed
Arm Across Face
Arms Up
Restless
Stretched Out
Death
✨Save a Sleep Preference✨
Each Sim can have their own preference, so household members don’t need to share the same sleep style.
Select Random if you do not want the Sim permanently assigned to one sleeping pose.
When Random is selected, the mod chooses from the nine poses whenever that Sim goes to sleep. This allows the Sim to sleep differently from one night to the next without requiring you to manually select another preference.
Read more about this mod here! (Free Patreon) Ily :3

Wyles family & friends legacy-type Paralives gameplay (index)
Let's just start a little index, tags, and navigation for this thing before we get too far along.
Legacy rules (are made to be broken):
1.) Just have babies, I guess, lol!
2.) Keep the timeline moving.
3.) Don't let it get too deep.
4.) Focus on only one heir per generation? And only short updates for siblings and family friends.
This one will be the hardest for me to follow, because I know I’ll want to give them all stories, but that's always where the timeline dies for me. It’s really important to keep moving through time before you get bogged down with a dozen households in the rotation, between siblings and cousins and friends and former lovers, and wanting to give them all complex narratives! Been there, done that, and have 350 sims to prove it! 🤣
Gen 1: Cassia & Adrian
about: Cassia and Adrian are a vibrant and friendly couple who just moved to Melino. They quickly immerse themselves into the charming little town and make friends effortlessly. But which friends can they trust, and which might become unfortunate adversaries?
gen 1 start // tag // chrono
Adrian: energetic (need to move), taking care of others, fitness (happy exerciser) // elementary school PE teacher // physique 4, mind 4, creativity 3, charisma 4 // life goals: breadwinner ✅
Cassia: jester, making friends (lingering first impression), jack-of-all-trades (mastery) // part-time museum tour guide // physique 2, mind 2, creativity 1, charisma 3 // life goals: new family ✅ // so many friends [ ]
Isabelle "Izzy": [vibe], [social], technology (science) // elementary school student // physique 1, mind 1

I have learned how to put family photos on the wall and in frames! 🤩
It's not even really a secret or hard to do, I just didn't know how to do it, lol!
But I am so supremely impressed with how this works, because you can edit/crop/resize the screenshots outside the game first, then import them back into the game to use in photo frames. And the image quality on the wall is excellent, sized up or down, even close up.
(Shade 100% intended at TS4 and its botched family photos! 😒)
I am going to have so much fun with this! We had a trick like this in TS2 to put edited screenshot photos in game, and I have missed it so much. It's so cool the feature is just built into Paralives, no tricks needed.
previously: Sofia has an unsatisfying marriage // and a crush
cw: drug abuse kind of?
Before they knew it, the three girls were grown up enough to run from yard to yard between their two neighboring houses, playing as much as they liked as long as their homework was done. Adrian fired up the grill while the ladies chatted on the deck, keeping a close ear tuned to the baby monitor for little Juniper inside.
And this was what they all always wanted, wasn't it? To be neighbors and for their girls to be best friends and to see so much of each other every day?
If only Sofia didn’t have such a crush on him—her best friend's husband. It made things awkward, but Sofia was still the only one who knew that. She intended to keep it that way. Adrian was a good dad, a devoted husband, and a good friend. She supposed he wouldn’t be crush-worthy if he wasn’t all of those things. But because he was all of those things, he didn’t deserve to have his home wrecked, or for joyful friend Cassia to have her heart broken, or for dear Izzy and Juniper to have their childhoods ruined. So Sofia vowed that her secret feelings would remain that way.
There was too much at stake here. Too many friendships, and wasn't friendship just as cherished in life as some scandalous romance? Or more.
The men challenged each other to a spirited and friendly push-ups contest.
“Our dads are such meatheads,” the girls laughed.
They were silly together and had so much fun. So nothing terrible happened and the two families enjoyed each other's company most evenings until the fireflies came out.
“I know you’re unhappy,” Jason admitted to Sofia one night soon after.
Sofia hoped he didn’t also know the full extent of her unhappiness. She had wondered all these years what the problem was. Was he depressed? Was he gay? Was she ugly? Could he just try? All these years Sofia felt like she’d done all of the trying for them both.
“It’s steroids,” he continued. “That’s why I was ashamed to go to a doctor about… the problem. I know exactly why I have the problem.”
“Oh,” she said. She had no idea he was still taking those, and now everything made a lot of sense. She felt all at once betrayed, but also relieved. If the steroids were the problem, then they could also be an easy solution. He could just stop taking them.
If he chose to, that is.
“If I come off them, I’ll lose bulk. Nobody will take me seriously. I’ll never be a celebrity trainer. You don’t know how skinny I was. You wouldn’t still want me like that. You wouldn’t want me if I had to quit training and become some security guard or something.”
“You aren’t giving me enough credit,” Sofia said.
Her husband would still be strong, but wiry and lean and tall.
Oh. He would look like Adrian.
But if her husband was more like Adrian, then she wouldn’t need to have a crush on Adrian anymore. It all made too much sense. It could be the answer to everything. It could work.
A few weeks later, Jason was off his juice. And for the first time in their marriage, they went to bed together properly.
Everything worked. Everything did what it was supposed to do. This would be the answer to everything, Sofia thought.
Please. Please. Please.
gen 1 start // previous // next // index
So many story notes!
We needed a bit of storytelling in this one to make sense of everything this game threw at me! Sometimes Paralives is very fateful. There are usually three packs of story cards to choose from, but one night, Sofia was assigned a pack of social cards, and there was only one choice to make!
Okay, yes, one of them does have to do with Adrian, platonically, but two were for her husband and they are very sweet ones!
Aw, this lady wants her marriage to work. So we're going to help her fight for it!
We chose the one about “romantic interest” because I suspected that might be a problem with some of these premade couples. Soon after they added a romantic interest tag, they were able to roll the card for “get intimate for the first time.” And I think that might have been the problem all along. Romantic interest is an early relationship tag, but they were already marked as fiancés and lovers. Like the game had skipped ahead too far and missed that early tag that would have allowed them to initiate their romantic relationship.
It worked. Now they’re all fixed up! They can get intimate and try for a baby as they should be able to.
further notes:
It was *not* easy to get all those paras together in one yard. I wish it was easier to wrangle inactive paras. The girls can’t even invite each other over on their phones. So the best I can do is load and reload from house to house, telling the paras to “go here” and get them busy with an action before they can run away. I had in mind an evening cookout, but it was like midnight before I got everyone under control. 😵💫
It was not my intention for Sofia to hijack this legacy from my main family, but she had juicier drama, so here we are. But this is not turning into the Cooper legacy. We’ll still give priority to the Wyles kiddos as next generation heirs, as we do.
Kind of feels like the end of a chapter here, with the girls in childhood now, with resolutions to some drama and also some momentum to pull us back after a break to play some more. And I’ve been feeling my sims calling, so we'll come back to these guys in a little while. Maybe we’ll do back and forth between the two games? As long as Paralives continues to entertain. But I also finally miss my sim babies! So many stories, so little time!!!
I have one more Paralives update to finish off the gameplay I've completed so far, then I think we'll rotate to TS4 for a bit. And, maybe, back and forth like that for as long as both games continue to amuse me.
I also bought the restoration workshop kit while it was on sale. Jordan is excited, but he does not have room for any more junk at either of their microscopic properties, neither of which has a garage or any workshop space. Which can only mean one thing. We need a bigger house! Will he hate the idea? Can Maria convince him? More on that soon, but I have some other gameplay to finish off first before we get to the next story chapter for these guys.
Welcome to Rooted by Nature, a legacy challenge centered around exploration, self-discovery, and the connection between people and the worlds around them.
General Rules
• Follow the story and goals of each generation as closely as possible.
• Lifespan and aging settings are completely up to you.
• Mods, custom content, and gameplay tweaks are allowed unless they directly bypass generation goals.
• You may use cheats for building and decorating, but avoid using cheats to complete goals, skills, relationships, careers, or aspirations.
• If a generation requires a specific world, move your heir there when they become a Young Adult unless stated otherwise.
World Requirements 🌍
Some generations take place in destination or hidden worlds that are not normally residential.
For the best experience, you may need mods that allow Sims to live in vacation worlds or custom worlds.
Recommended examples include:
* Granite Falls (Generation One)
* Selvadorada (Generation Six)
* Any custom fairy-related world used for Generation Seven
If you do not use these mods, feel free to adapt the challenge and visit these worlds regularly instead.
Story First:
This challenge is designed around storytelling rather than strict difficulty.
If a goal becomes impossible due to pack limitations, bugs, or mods, use your best judgment and choose an alternative that fits the generation’s theme.
Also if you have questions, ask away pls!
Most importantly: enjoy the journey and let your Sims’ stories grow naturally ☺️
use the hashtag #rbnlegacy so i can see your legacy and families 🌸
What is the story behind your story?
What inspired you to start your current story? Was it a single Sim, a gameplay moment, or something completely different?
Join this week's Writers' Wednesday! 🤍
Answer the question(s) and share your post using #WritersWednesday!
Short answer is someone died very unexpectedly in gameplay (the ol' death by laughter while hysterical!), but that's not even the story.
The story comes from a chain of butterfly-effect events that were triggered by that death. Robert died two weeks before his son's scheduled wedding, which led Justin & Stephanie to postpone their wedding because of their grief, which led to Jordan having an unexpected two weeks off at the hotel where he worked which was suddenly no longer hosting a huge wedding. So with his newfound freedom he took his boys on a backpacking trip in Canada, which ended up being life-changing inspiring for him, because upon his return, he only wanted to burn down his entire life and run away again. But everyone else in his life needed him to stay. Chaos ensues.
Justin and Stephanie did eventually get their wedding, and it was lovely.

episode: "go get your magnifying glasses!" (year 6, day 7)
Right behind Izzy, we have Sofia and Jason's girls also entering their childhood years. Now, this family is an interesting study in Paralives genetics, because I *do* see a blended mix of features being passed down between the girls. Neither of them are 100% a clone of either parent.
Sofia. We will note that Sofia has a smaller up-turned nose and bigger, rounder eyes.
Jason. Noting narrow eyes and a rounder, wider nose.
First up, Nadia. She has her dad's wider nose and her mom's big round eyes. Mom's black hair, and her eye color is pale aqua? Is that how the game blends dark brown and blue?
Next, Reece. She has her dad's narrower eyes and her mom's smaller up-turned nose. Dad's brown hair, and light brown eyes. Reece aged up into glasses, so she will be keeping them.
I'm a little stumped on this game's eye color blending logic, in this family, and with my Wyles girls, too.
Now, if I could just get this game to give me some baby boys! 🤣
^ Their budding personalities. Nadia was a bit of a drama queen as a toddler, so I gave her two charisma points and she rolled "good at nothing" randomly. She's gonna be a fun teenager someday. She's gonna be the queen bee diva that has all the friends, while secretly none of her friends like her, lol!
(Just kidding, Nadia, I'm sure you'll grow up to be an absolute sweetheart! 😈)
Then Reece was always more cool and collected as a toddler, always shrugging off her sister's dramatics to go read a book quietly by herself. She gets mind/creativity and a talent in art, and I've made a note to give her "good at being alone" when she's old enough for it.
Oh man, please give me active high school by the time these girls and Izzy (and Izzy's yet-to-be-renamed little friend) are old enough for it, because I think their different personalities would be so much fun to play together as teenagers.
Or maybe I'll do a fakey university for them, like I used to do for my TS4 sims before Uni came out.
And after their outfit makeovers:
Because I always had Nadia in blue and Reece in orange, so we'll stick with those favorite colors for them as they're growing up.
episode: "here comes a little Junebug" (year 6, day 5)
It's the middle of the night, husband is asleep, got our laboring robe on. Cassia knows that means it's time to have a baby!
Adrian wakes from his slumber to stand beside his wife dutifully, in his underwear, looking concerned. Cassia is torn between feelings of fondness for him and the overwhelming urge to scream.
In the end, the scream wins. But she does appreciate that her man woke up from his sleep (and stayed awake!) while she labored for their second child. She knows that's better than some husbands do around here.
And we have another sweet little girlie!
(Man, this game likes to give me girls! I'm like 4-0 over here!)
I can already tell this one is going to be a 100% Cassia clone. It seems like, so far, this game makes kids either all one parent or the other with very little blending between. But it is interesting to note the same light brown eyes as her big sister, while neither parent has that color (mom is green and dad is blue).
Aw, and big sissy can hold her, too! 🥰
(Not that I would let my 5-year-old walk around the house with a freshly birthed newborn, but life sims don't need to make that much sense I guess, lol! But what I would really really love, either in Paralives or in TS4, is a kid sitting on the couch to hold their little sibling animation!)
