Oh, Boy! Another new baby and some more stalking followed up by some rebound canoodling! Andrew, get it together dude!

With town drama out of the way, it's back to our actual household!

Just a little skill building to start the new day.

And a whole new lighting mod! I know I hinted at this weeks ago, and here we finally are! I started testing out different lighting mods for the remainder of my time in St. Bernie. I've been using Fresh Cut Day by @brntwaffles with @gelinagelina's Lighting Tweaks, but had been toying with the idea of using different lighting for different world play throughs.

Up first is the BEAUTIFUL Sims 3 Beta Lighting Mod by @boringbones. Seriously! It looks like I have some Reshade or HD mod going on, it is so clear and bright and the shadows are absolutely gorgeous!

Along with testing new lighting mods, I installed Tree and Plant Replacements (also by boringbones); Reworked And Improved EA Lights by simsi45; More Light Coming Through Windows by Blyss; the Electrical Storm Mod by @mathmodder; and TS3 HD Texture Series-Terrain Pack by @greenplumbboblover.

And here we are! It's a sunny spring day, perfect for a trip to the town plaza to meet up with Gerald!

I can't get over how crisp everything looks!

Hey! We're outside in the sun and you can ACTUALLY see Simili's face! She's not all washed out or too dark to distinguish! I haven't gone for Reshade or Gshade yet, because my main focus is gameplay and I've always been a little afraid that keeping either of those programs going in the background would cause my usually smooth gameplay to stutter or crash so for me and my screenshots, this lighting mod is seriously game changing. I couldn't stop zooming around looking at everything!

Simili has been waiting for a while here...where is Gerald?

Of course it did...Well, this doesn't exactly bode well for their relationship, now does it?

Bright and early the next morning Milo was out the door to explore.

Bella took Moody for a nice little stroll in the rain. Looks like she needs a new umbrella!

Poor Brooks doesn't know how to unclog a toilet I guess Bahahah!

Aww!! Bella and Moody are BFF's after their walk!

Guy is off work, which is probably good after plowing his way through all the alcohol at the beach bar. Anywhoo, they don't have a ton of room for a garden and he's got a seed or two in his inventory so I bought a couple of planters for him to work on his gardening skills!

What a rainy day! Someone has been using that fireplace, but I don't know who. It could be a good day for a toasty fire though!

Okay, I know I haven't been on here in a several days...life is super hectic as per usual! Anyway, here we are back with Lori for Spooky Day. I found her autonomously digging through her trash and that gave me an idea! What better day to go dumpster diving in the hopes we can find something valuable enough to pay bills!

Also, woohoo! Another wedding is in the works! And another break up it seems as well.

Just a random picture of the neighborhood from Lori's dining room. If you've followed me for a while you know how obsessed I am with looking out of the windows in every world, LOL!

Yes! We can finally afford to pay bills! We've avoided the repo man for one more week at least! I got so into the game that I literally forgot to take pictures of Lori while she dumpster diving at the Sports Bar across town. But that's okay, after all that stinky work, she deserves a little fun.

Jasmine ran to the bathroom first thing...uh oh...did something happen before I got to the household, or was it that risky woohoo she initiated after another spat with Shorty?

Alright Ephraim! And another happy memory for Jasmine too!

I don't remember quite what was in the newspaper, but there are some ne notifications to read!

Andrew and Angela are hooking up now, the neighborhood dogs seem to all be getting it on with each other, and ... oh dear! Facepalm. I don't usually play with aliens or supernaturals, but it is St. Bernie after all. And the namesake of the world was the eldest of my friend's zany family. I feel like if an alien pregnancy were to fit in any of my current saves, this would be it.

Isaiah has taken up another hobby! I always add a dance studio and dojo to my saves somewhere. In St. Bernie, I added them above the laundry mat!

Brooks is cleaning house...thank goodness SOMEONE is! And thankfully Ron, the only one with cooking skills is doing the cooking this morning...fingers crossed!

Oh no! Seems there's trouble in the Snooty household!

Korey and Angela have plans for that shower Brooks just spent an hour scrubbing and he is NOT having it, LOL!

The next morning was b-e-a utiful! If you haven't guessed by now, Isaiah has the loner trait so at dawn he was off to surf before the beach got crowded.

He stepped into the house and...This time it was Garth who sent their newly decorated kitchen up in flames!!! You guys!!!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a really long time again! Life has just been, well, BUSY! I've had these next several days worth of pictures on my computer ready for upload for a while, but every time I get the time to post or play it's really late at night and I'm just too exhausted! I've been working on our house, on going through the last of my beta reader feedback, trying to get a query together and sort of start a second book, and if that isn't enough I've decided to try my hand at a Youtube channel for all the doll crafts my kiddo and I have been working on (that isn't really up and running yet, I'm still working on my first video, but when it is I'll post a link for it and for the separate Tumblr I'm setting up for it). Anyway, enough of my excuses, enjoy the pictures from the next household in rotation for Isle of St. Bernie! I'd forgotten how wild the week with this household was!

As you can see, we're already off to a good start! The household consists of Isaiah Gage and Korey Quick, who are constantly fighting; Donnell Dougherty, Ron Ricketts, Brooks Cassidy and Garth Reeves.

In other news, Freddie and Ivy have started dating so that should be interesting, and Lilly Lum is expecting and decided to kick Lawerence out! He's currently crashing with his best friend John Snooty and his family.
