Rediscovering the neighborhood

For the moment, I'm leaving aging off and story progression off until I catch up with what's being going on.

So at the moment, I'm flitting from house to house, seeing what's happening since I've rather forgotten after working on a different blog for a bit.

First surprise was that at 203 days young (long life span), here's Grandpa Muleskinner with his daughter Trisha


If he can catch one more perfect fish of a new species, he will have fulfilled his lifetime wish


Now my next surprise was when visiting Riley and Kanye.  Riley had this want to snuggle Garrett.  Garrett?  Oh dear, no baby on this lot.  Apparently Riley had married and had a baby.

She had married the long lost Jared Carter.  He disappeared from the share house weeks ago.  I knew he was officially still in the neighborhood, his original housemates all remembered him.  Unfortunately, Riley and Jared weren't really friendly enough to get him to move in immediately.  She spent some time talking to him, went to work, came home and chatted to him more.  Finally he and the baby could move in.  So Riley did get to snuggle the baby.


Jared has made level 5 in military.  Riley is at level 2 in politics.  Kenya moved out of this house but is currently level 5 in athletics.

Tanya Marsh achieved her lifetime want of reaching level 9 in athletics a Superstar. Since her husband Jon became a Rock Star some time ago, they are a rare couple who managed to achieve lifegoals in the free will game.  Here she is in her new professional outfit.


Middle child of the Marsh family, Dexter, is getting friendly with Marcy Leman


Here is Cheri the daughter of Samantha and Dallas Shallow. Neither Samantha nor Dallas are doing very well in their careers. My assumption is they must not be suited or they would be higher.

When I visited their home, I was amazed to find that Jerod is level 5 in medicine, officially a doctor now. And Kathryn has managed to write 3 books.

I am trying a gentle nudge or two toward a relationship

  1. Hehe that grampa :)

    As for Tanya and Jon.. Woohoo for them getting to their LTW freewill, that is so awesome in its awesomeness it is awesome beyond comprehension, sheesh I sound like Evan there for a moment.

    Another WIN with the freewill writing! I have not managed it yet with the nikanpoops in freewill, though jean simmons did it on her own in my trial game... I wonder if the game randomly decides with each story progression how things will go along?

  2. Amazing that free will sims can achieve their LTW. Congrats on that! None of mine even have jobs yet, but it's a relatively new neighborhood. And we KNOW what they've been spending their time doing. ;)

    Mmm, Sam and Zayne. That's a yummy combination. Thanks for downloading Rachel. I'll be watching for her. She's a bit of a boring homebody in my game, but now that the EP is out I can remake her with the proper traits.

  3. Some Sims seem to be suited for certain careers and on free will just zip along upward in the career. Don Lothario popped to the top of Politics ages ago and I've never had to help him at all. Since Jerod is level 5 in medicine, I think he'll get to level 10 sooner or later. If they stay at level 1 or 2 for more than a Sim week, they don't do well in that career.

    Yeah Sue, I'd love to see Sam and Zayne get serious about each other. But a little nudge is all they are getting, and they are both still new to the free will game. We will both have to wait and hope.

    I think everyone but Muleskinner has been added to the comments of this blog too.

  4. Great update. Awwww, adorable toddlers. Dexter and Marcy are so cute together.
    In pics like the one with Kathryn and Lacie it always looks like the toddler is saying, this is my mommy and you can't have her.
    Sam and Zayne need to get together and have us another little pink haired baby.;)
    Shantel is a very cute child.

  5. It will be interesting to see which if any of the teen romances last when they age up.

    Kathryn and Jerod give me some very cute children every time. Their three kids over in Sammy's blog were good looking and so is this pair.

    Yeah, Sam + Zayne == new pink haired boy. Come on guys, we know you can do it! LOL

  6. If Zayne and Lucky's baby ends up having pink hair in my game, I'm leaving it pink. But then the one in my game is a girl.

  7. Fair enough. Angel Landgraab quite clearly has the pink hair of her mom AJ. Unlike her older brother Andrew, Angel can stay pink.

    But I can't quite make myself leave a boy's hair *that* color. Maybe blue or green but not pink.

  8. I can't handle the boys with the pink hair either.
    Everyone but us must be off playing WA right now.
    I'm going to have to go to bed myself.
    See you tomorrow.

  9. Nope, I fell asleep like a big dope very very early. Now, I'm awake and afraid I won't be able to get back to sleep.

    I'm also very curious about a Sam/Zayne baby. That is a potent combination!

  10. :) You remember the Sammy blog poll? One option is the 20 day baby challenge? Well, sooner or later, I'm giving Sammy 20 days to father as many babies with as many females as he can. No cheats, no aids, he just has to really turn on the charm. It won't be a proper Sammy story but it should be entertaining.

  11. That's what that meant! That's some challenge. *laughs* Sammy babies everywhere!

  12. LOL.. poor Sammie, what he has to do for the sake of our entertainment... :)
