I had a sim who spent nearly her entire college career in her jammies. She only changed into everyday after a shower, and then immediately went to bed ... she even went to her exams that way. But, major digression. What's happening with Emmy?
I have just downloaded some pretty shortie nighties for YA's, and put one on my female Romance Sim, Suki. She pretty much spent the rest of her college in her purple nightie!! Except when she got in the hot tub, then she was naked!!!
Dalila and Emmy are awaiting while families get organized so that Nightlife can be installed. Also real life gets in the way of sim life (mother-in-law had surgery--she's OK--son's plans for trip to Netherlands for job and his flight out to California yesterday to visit Aunt and sister). Also, hubby expects me outside with him right NOW doing yard work. Emmy is looking forward to taking Alon on a date Downtown. Dalila is old enough now, too. I'm wondering what designs Candida and Mercedes have on the Sparrow family--probably the money. And does Phineaus need to worry about Remington? There's college football on TV this afternoon. Hubby will be in front of it. I'll be in front of Nightlife (I hope.)
Leo's tend to get into the hot tub naked, which was annoying when I first started playing. My computer was just barely up to the task of running the sims, so instead of pixellated blockers I got a solid block of color. I could barely see the sim in question, let alone interact with them very easily. Kristal, you are a tease. Where did you download those nighties, exactly? I have mentioned this before, but I can't wait until I get NL! I have a romance sim who lives with her sisters and she's always up at night when they're asleep. She's bored, so am I! She needs to hit the town! Lynet, I understand completely about real life interfering. Funny how husbands actually want you to DO things LOL. We spent this weekend replastering our kitchen. Not much sims action to be found, though I did manage to squeeze some in. One of my sims reached her lifetime ambition, almost accidentally. She's a money sim who wanted to be a business tycoon ... she got out of college with so many skill points her very first job was CEO. So becoming a tycoon wasn't that hard to do ... and she gets to go to work in a helicopter. If her sisters leave at the same time they get to ride along.
Dear Dalila, Hope you're doing OK, now. I know that Dad's sudden death was a shock to you, but he lived a long, good life. Mom seems to be OK, too, even though Dad died right in front of her and there was nothing she could do. They were watching TV, I understand, and he said he was hungry, got up to get a snack, and then the spirits appeared and took him away. The funeral was nice and I was glad to see all the friends that gathered to say goodbye. You're still planning to be at college this coming semester, right? I'm looking forward to showing you around. (You've grown so tall! Can't call you little sister anymore, can I!) Love, Emmy
Dear Emmy, Yes, I'll be there. Still trying to decide what to major in. Mom's OK, but so much more tired then she used to be. I'm afraid we're going to lose her soon, too. I'm even thinking of asking that crazy lady across the street if she has any potions to give Mom more strength. I asked Mom if we could get that witch to bring Dad back like she did Aunt Kiara, but Mom said absolutely not. What will be, will be, she said, and it is not a good idea to mess around with the mysteries of life and death. Terrible things might happen. Uncle Drake was lucky. Little George and Esther are the best of friends. They do everything together. I like them both a lot, too. I have a couple pictures for you here. My camera is working again. One of them shows you, me and Great Aunt Sadie. That really is Aunt Elizabeth sitting with Griffin at the reception after the funeral. I didn't even recognize her at first. She's aged overnight, looks older even then Mom (though she's Mom's younger sister.) Mom says that's what having six kids and a farm can do to a woman. They take a severe toll. And all this time I thought living on a farm would be healthier then living in the city. Maybe it's the combination of kids plus farm. Do you think? The last picture is of Mom. She was hardly aware I'd come into her bedroom last night. Just indulging herself in memories, she told me. She also said to get rid of the picture. A picture of a lady in her nightgown was not appropriate. But here it is anyway. I think she's beautiful even when sad. I'm doing OK, too, Emmy. Love, Dalila
(Thanks, SBW. I'm a nut with the in-game camera. I've got so many pictures for that neighborhood it takes me forever to sort through them to find the ones I want to post.) Hi, Georgie and Esther, Are you taking care of Mom? Now that I'm at college she needs you two to keep her company. I know she'd like to play chess and read to you (even if you are old enough to read by yourself.) You already do a good job cleaning up after dinner and keeping your rooms straight. She likes that a lot so keep it up. I'm not in Emmy's dorm because there wasn't enough room, but my friends Leila and Anna Cox are in my dorm and so is our cousin Grace Furley. I've decided to major in Psychology. Grace was going to stay in Emmy's dorm but at the last minute decided to come here. Our two dorms are right next to each other anyway, so I'll see Emmy all the time. Sheila Mae and Griffin are in a house down the road. They're seniors now and will be graduating in another semester. Griffin plans to move back in with Mom. That's so exciting. We talk alot now and are good friends. Here's some pictures of my friends Leila and Anna. Leila was going to shave her head and be completely bald to protest the College here supporting research into food chemicals but I talked her out of it. So she did her hair in painful looking knots. Her sister Anna is really, really cute. Well, so is Leila, but in a more exotic way. I also got a picture of a girl who lives here named Wendy who can't stand Carl, the cafeteria cook. Those two are always fighting and slapping each other. I don't know Wendy or Carl very well so I don't know what started this quarrel but they do it all the time. Sometimes we call Wendy over to join our group just to get her to leave old Carl alone. I don't like her so I don't ask what the problem is. Anyhoo, gotta go to class. Write to me, too, guys. Love, Dalila
Oops, I didn't notice that question earlier. Post #74. She's a little girl that Dalila's Mom and Dad adopted just after bringing little George and his mother Candida in to live with them. By the way. I loaded JMP's clock in order to speed up college life a little and it seems to be working fine.
I plan to get some of his hacks as they have been tested, after I get NL. No sense in getting them now! But the college clock is one I definitely want, so that's good to know! Love the story! Keep writing, please!
Dear Emmeline, Are you watching out for your sister Dalila for me, Sweetheart? She's so impressionable. Of all my girls, Emmeline, you were always the most focussed and responsible, even at a very early age, and that's why I depend on you to keep an eye on Dalila. I'm sorry that you couldn't be together in the same dormitory but since you're next door I will try not to worry. George, Esther and I are all looking forward to Griffin and Sheila Mae's graduation this spring. Then Griffin will be moving home with us. I have met Felicia, his intended, and I'm afraid I find her a little flighty, but perhaps that's because I do not know her very well. Griffin is an intelligent young man and would not fall in love with someone not suited to him. Don't you agree? I have some amusing news about your Uncle Drake and Aunt Kiara. They had been living, you may recall, with Cleve and Meadow Cox. However, that was only temporary until Drake and Kiara had adjusted to her...well...return. The Cox house is very small so Drake and Kiara finally moved out and went to an apartment Downtown, They're in the same buidling that your Great Aunt Sadie and her husband Mitch moved to recently. All four of them went out on the town the other night and had an absolutely wonderful time. I'm thinking about joining them the next time they go. Anyway, Uncle Drake wore that dreadful mascot costume of his and talked the DJ into letting him handle the records. Sadie sent me the picture of him, and also of the snapshots she had taken of herself in some strange little photobooth she told me about. Your Great Aunt Sadie always liked to have fun. I guess that's why she's lived so long. She also enclosed a picture of her kitchen in the new apartment and what a grand kitchen it is. I am envious. I must go now, Emmeline. Please write and tell me how all of you are doing. Love, Mom
This is a soap opera thread following the lives of one of my sim families, the Sparrows. Check out the East Simders and River Valley Daily Herald threads (also under the Sims 2 General Discussion.) Several members tell stories about their sim families--very entertaining, often quite funny. Starring in this thread, so far: Sybil Sparrow, Mom to 5 children. Sheila Mae, Griffin and Emmeline are now at college (Le Tour). George (actually a child born to Sybil's husband by another woman named Candida) and Esther (adopted by Sybil) are still at home with Sybil. Candida has also moved in with Sybil (she arrived with little George and Sybil is a very practical and forgiving woman.) George Senior died recently of old age. Sybil is also elderly. The family is fairly wealthy--more than 400,000 simoleans earned the hard way through 3 generations. Sheila Mae, Griffin and Emmeline, etc are the 4th generation and all still in school. Do you have the University EP? Anyone at college yet? Have you got Nightlife yet? Whether you've gotten to the expansions or not, have you got sim family adventures to talk about? You can start here.
I have been hanging around this site among others for quite some time, maybe even a year, and I just couldnt decide which site I wanted to join. In the end it was this site.
A year! Goodness gracious. I couldn't keep my mouth shut that long. And that's a lot longer, anyway, then I've been reading it, so you probably know more about what's going on and who the moderators and regular participants are much better than I do. So I say, "howdy." By the way, the bunny is more recognizable with whiskers.
