#nan garrett

It's been a few days since I've filled my queue, but I have a minute between Halloween and multiple children's birthday parties, so I'll do my best!

Brooks, like a good boy, is up bright and early to deliver the newspaper...along with a couple of notifications! Yay!! Another wedding in the works! Unfortunately, I suspect I won't be on rotation for it, but don't worry, as with Redwood Harbor, I plan to take some posed pictures for an album!

Jasmine was up before Shorty of course so she had a little fun before taking care of Ephraim. It's a weekend so everyone is home...well, off of work.

I guess Story Progression didn't take my que when naming the Garrett's new LO. Jill, Joe, Blake?? One of these things is not like the other! Oh well, it's a solid name. And I try to stay away from renaming babies born to SP unless I absolutely need to for keeping my sims straight. I may be alone in this, but my gameplay feels more immersive to me the less I interfere.

We begin Spring with everyone's favorite time of the year...Tax collection.

And refunds for some lucky Sims, so I guess it's not ALL bad!

Oh hey! Lori got promoted! Hopefully that means I won't have to spend my next rotation with her dumpster diving for extra cash!

Okay, finally on to the Socialby household! With Bella married and moved out, there's only Simili and little dog Barky left.

Fun fact. Simili is named after the Simself I made waaay back when the Sims Social was on Facebook (Meta). Get it? Simili Socialby?? LOL! Anyway, you may have noticed I'd changed up her look when I made her for TS3, but I kept the name.

Simili is currently preggers with Gerald O'Connor's child so she woke up with the want to get a massage and I obliged. In the meantime, I did...what else...checked out who else was in the area. I came across Nan Garrett in the dojo and snapped some pretty awesome screenshots if I don't say so myself! You go Nan!

Okay, the massage is done and it was off to the library to catch up on some reading.

Hmm...I feel like there are several sims in St. Bernie who could use some advice from that book, LOL!

Welcome to the Lum household! I know it's been super long since I've updated this playthrough extensively, but you may remember that Lilly kicked Lawerence out of the home. ( like I said in my previous post...never been a big fan of Lilly in my game.) Anyway, Theodore and Petunia, the family dog really miss him. And the house seems so empty without him.

Looks like Petunia is out to greet Andrew, who is walking the dog...(Molly?) OMG! I can never remember that poor pup's name!

Meanwhile Lilly is about nine months pregnant so she's back to bed after breakfast. Almost due to deliver the new baby and overdue for a good makeover...

As was Teddy. I normally wait until round two to allow makeovers, however, I've decided that Bin families are the exception. They've been rocking the old EA look for long enough to deserve a little early refresh! LOL!

Not surprisingly the kids and Tom slept late. Nan took advantage of the extra time to get a head start on cleaning and breakfast.

And the open computer before Joe got up to do a little reading in preparation for the upcoming school year.

Tom and Nan enjoyed a little "me" time while the kids were still in bed.

Then it was off to the dance studio for some more practice for Jill. Looks like Isaiah is just leaving the dojo and Pablo already there!

It's Leisure Day! This time the whole family is at the beach because why not? Look at Nan! Attention!

Hmm...last time I checked he was still at the beach???

Well this is nice! I'm still not pleased the Lum household is all broken up! I played this family extensively and this has NEVER happened before!

Aww...New puppies in St. Bernie! Oh great...looks like someone's fur is glitched...facepalm.

Hi everyone! I am finally getting around to at least one or two posts in my queue. I have been beyond busy and on top of that my little one is sick so my simblr has had to take a back burner. I can't tell you how much I've been wanting to get more posted AND get back to my game and working on Pickerling Cove! Anyway, enough of my personal life, we are back in St. Bernie with the Garret family!

This is a family I have made in literally every version of the Sims I have owned! I happened to find them on my old flash drive when I was searching for the old builds for Pickerling Cove and thought this would be the perfect playthrough to drop them in! Tom is at the highest level of the Military career and Nan, his wife is a socialite, though through free will she's taken on some collecting for extra cash which I am not opposed to because they live in one of the most expensive homes on the island along with their two child wonders, Jill, a teen and Joe, a child.

And we can't seem to escape drama in the sims! I know I directed Andrew to break up with Remi when she kept blowing off his proposal, but honestly, these two were never a really cohesive fit. Oh Andrew, it's time for you to move on!

And here we have little Joe Garret who wasted no time changing into a costume to visit the family fun center I built. A Center of Fire and Ice... Sadly, I can't make him the child prodigy he was in past games because apparently children can't play the piano??? Is that a thing I've never noticed or is my game glitched? Are there mods for that?

And the rest of the fam! Tom and Jill seem to be catching on quickly! Nan isn't quite as athletic, but she's holding her own just the same.

What!!?? I moved Korey in with Angela and her roommates seeing as she's carrying his child and he's hooking up with one of them! Does Angela mind!?
