It's party time!

Just the typical hilarity of sims and their choices in costumes, but Cristina isn't feeling it today.

Aww...the wonder of first trimester pregnancy symptoms.

She was finally feeling well enough to at least see what all her guests were up to, but she's still not too happy. I bet she's regretting her decision to throw a party today!

While Clark was at the library with Annie Edith earned a promotion!

Not wanting to get into any more trouble, Grace DID stay home the entire day today! Playing video games which apparently is allowed while grounded! Facepalm...you can't go to school or your ballet recital while grounded, but you can play all the video games you want!

Hey look! It's Maggie! On a now rare outing downtown. Is she trying to tell Sheree it's time to go home?

Woot woot! Happy birthday to yet another toddler who's aged up!

We say goodbye to the Marks family with some more adorable pictures of their life!

When I first got back into the Gallo household I noticed Edith doing laundry. Nothing out of the ordinary…but then I noticed that she was for some reason leaving her house to do it…aaand taking a water taxi off world! This of course crashed my game. I thought it was a glitch, but as you'll see, it has continued to happen in other households. I thought my save was corrupted, but it began to happen in other saves and worlds…so…I still haven't figured this one out and it's been literal months…close to a year since it started to happen. One of the reasons, along with the constant fudging up of my computer and game from Windows Updates, One Drive activating itself and general lack of time that I have hardly touched my game in a looong while! I figure it must be some mod or cc that is causing this particular laundry glitch, but honestly, I just haven't had the motivation to go through everything and figure out what it is. So, in lieu of actually fixing the problem, I've taken to trying to catch my sims as they're doing laundry, cancelling the action and then directing them to use the washer and/or dryer! Ugh…I just wish my game would behave as it did a couple of years ago.

Anyway, after I restarted my game and made sure Edith was NOT doing laundry autonomously this time, I began checking out the new house they purchased while I was on rotation with Brianna…or was it Shayne and Cristina. Anywhoo, I heard crying so I went to investigate…Um…Edith?? Who even is this!?

Yeah so, apparently they bought a house with some random sim's ashes in the attic! Not haunted at all!

Um...why is the baby's name different?? Hmm...maybe Alicia and Kyle are deciding to call their daughter by a middle name?? I don't know, but this will require further investigation!

Reggie is feeling a little ahem "restless" this morning and seeing as Brianna keeps following him everywhere he again rolled the want to send her a woohooty text...so I let him do it, but I take no responsibility for the chaos this could cause.

She agreed to come over, but then must have thought better of it. Either she got wise to the fact he's only interested in one thing and decided not to let him use her, or this has all been some diabolical plan to make him crazy or something and she really isn't still pining away for him. I'm honestly not sure, but she never showed and eventually Reggie headed to work. All for the best I say!

Just a few last pictures of Reggie's little house he's lived in since the beginning of the playthrough..

It's the end of my time with Reggie for this round and I decided to end it at Saucy Jack's for a relaxed night after work.

It's before sunrise on Snowflake Day, and while Edith tends to Annie, Clark has some big plans for Cristy!

Talk about starting the day off on the right foot!

Oh great! The dishwasher broke! On a side note, this guy looks SUPER happy to be working on it! Hey Sir! We're paying you good money to fix it...and you know, it's kinda your job!

Just going through relationship panels...Edith! What beef do you have with Joanna and Woodrow!? I didn't even know! Hmm...I wonder what happened? I never had any notifications. I guess some sims just simply don't like each other.

Booyah! As you may recall, Kyle and Shayne are in a property investment business together...at least that's in my mind as that isn't really a game mechanic now that they're no longer roommates, but I do have plans for them, hopefully this round!

Way to go Cristy! I could definitely see you becoming a musician when you grow up!

It's the last day of summer and after the early night Brianna had she's ready to be up and out enjoying the last of the sun with Petunia!

Also, we have some news. Even though the Gallo's currently live in one of the largest homes in town, they're apparantly moving to a better one? Hmmm...I'm going to have to inspect that!

Little Frankie Torrez has grown into a toddler and Andrae! I'm surprised at you!

Brianna decided to go fishing for a bit. Gardening and now fishing! She's becoming quite the talented sim!

Alright! Terrell has earned a promotion!

Which has apparently attracted the attention of Alyson! I swear, if those two wind up back together after all these years...

JAN

My first shared screenshot of the new Pickerling Cove! I have finally set aside a little time every week so I can get this puppy DONE! And heads up, Microsoft will stop ALL support for Origin in April, so I don't know how us world builders with the EA app are going to use Edit In Game 😞

Joanna McAlister casually trying to give birth just outside of the hospital in Redwood Harbor Round 2!

Okay, a lot of these aren't separated into months from here on out because my posting got a little spotty!

A random townie I found singing in the empty karaoke bar while my active sim was at work 🤣 Go for your dreams dude! Redwood Harbor Round 3.

Dimitri giving an expression I can FEEL dealing with two crying kids and a begging cat. Redwood Harbor Round 3

After I predicted these two as a couple back in round 2, Clark and Edith did eventually get together on their own and tie the knot in Round 3 of Redwood Harbor! Now if my game can STOP throwing Clark into flirtation situations... it's not in his personality so I don't know why it keeps happening 😭

Antonio and Joanna worked on this car for YEARS!! Redwood harbor Round 3.

Howard breaking the fourth wall with some mad side eye while on a date with Rayne in Round 3 of Redwood Harbor.
