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?

It's a serene morning as we prepare to say goodbye to St. Bernie for this round. Look at the silent majesty of the trees swaying outside...

And a paper delivery girl burping in our front yard, LOL! Hey! Her name is Kizzy, just like the Kizzy in our play through here! Such a cute name!

It's back to work writing for Marley. I don't know how easy it will be today though, the kids seem extra needy. Do they suspect I'm about to peace out of this household?

Aww...a quieter spot.

Or at least it was! Hey, those kiddos have got to eat!

Marley was feeling strained again so he ran off to the consignment store. Hey...Didn't I make over that townie working the register?? Does she moonlight as a magician by chance?

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.

Yep! There's definitely a baby alien hybrid on the way and Shorty doesn't seem too thrilled. Don't mind the green mist right at his crotch Bahahahaha!! My screenshot skills on display again LOL! Facepalm...I swear it was by his belly button when I hit the camera button!

OMG This guy!!! Grr!! Jasmine! How are you okay with this treatment!!?? You deserve better!! Also, part of the reason I'm building her mixologist skill because not only do I suspect they'll eventually break up, I REALLY hope for her sake and the kids, they do.

Aaand yes...she is officially pregnant as well, so as sad as her life is I guess at least she's on her way to fulfilling her family sim lifetime wish, because yeah...If they break up, Jasmine's going to take custody of all the kids, alien included.

Just another normal day after that. Both Jasmine and Shorty were off to donate organs, mail carrier throwing their mail on the ground (and no, this wasn't because the dog chased him off, Brooks wasn't around), and the babysitter providing questionable care for little Ephraim.

Wow! Big surprise Shorty has coworkers who don't like him. And POOR Jasmine! This girl can't catch a break!

Shorty finally got himself out of bed and spent some time with Brooks.

He wanted to go fishing and the family is always in need of extra cash so I thought I'd send him to catch some dinner!

OMG...facepalm...is that a random FLOATING fish I managed to never see when I was play testing St Bernie before release!?! Yes...yes it is.

I heard chatting while Shorty was fishing so I zoomed out to discover a whole gaggle of tourists chilling out on the empty lot just behind him! Some Day, I plan to put in a resort! I'm thinking either this lot or the small island in the background, but I can't decide so it hasn't happened yet.

I couldn't find Brooks when I got back to the house. He may have been too hot to complete his walk with Jasmine and Ephraim, but he had no trouble running all the way across the main isle to the Ferry Terminal! Mooching treats and belly rubs from Lawerence Lum of course, LOL!

With Korey making inappropriate forum posts and Wanda leveling up after deciding it's better to wear clothes for cooking, it's time to let these two be until round two! Now back to the main house to move Angela and the twins out!

Kasey won't be there to say goodbye, though. She's in need of some cheering up and the best remedy seems to be a date with Garth.

Aww...They're so cute!

Bye Angela! I hope you love the little house I'm moving you to! And don't worry, once summer comes it will be Korey's season with the twins. Until then, he better be keeping up with his child support payments!

Is that Trish?! I swear from this angle that looks like Aimee Williams. I've really got to remember to zoom in for screenshots, they always look further away than they seem in game. Anywho...it's our last day with the Malloy Houshold and the last day of winter, which means...Time to move some of these sims out on their own so they aren't all living on top of each other! I think everyone will enjoy having a little more privacy.

Kasey woke up with a hankering for a new tattoo!

Oh no! I wonder, how bad it could actually be...

Oh no! Bahahaha! She's literally COVERED with bad tattoos! Poor Kasey!

Kasey woke in the morning with the want to write a love letter to her boyfriend, Garth. How cute! So I obliged.

Don't get too comfortable Kasey! I have work for you to do down at the tax offices I set up!

That's right, you just sit there and play games while I do all the heavy lifting of assigning computers to households and city funds. LOL! Time to see what everyone else is up to!
