Selfacy 1.3 – The Speed of Love

Love is born with solar flares
From two magnetic poles
It moves towards a higher plane
Where two halves make two wholes
Like a force of nature
Love shines in many forms
One night we are bathed in light
One day carried away in the storms…

…We don’t have to talk
We don’t even have to touch
I can feel your presence
In the silence that we share

Rush, “The Speed of Love”, Counterparts, 1993

The Grofs – 1.5

A fair warning- this chapter is a little long. I wanted to end it with the wedding, so there’s a lot of in-between stuff that happened. I know I could have just married them right away but I like there to be a small semblance of reality in my games… outside of Vegas, I’ve never known a couple to get married within a few days of meeting (even in Vegas this is usually impossible. It takes a week or two to get a marriage license in most states).

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, on to the fun stuff!

Selfacy – 1.2 – Need Some Love

Well I need what keeps
a young man alive
I said I need it now
I’m gonna get my message across to you
Someway, somehow
Ooh I need some love
I said I need some love.
Ooh yes I need some love
This feelin’ I can’t rise above

“Need Some Love” – Geddy Lee / Alex Lifeson

The Grofs 1.4

So I’m realizing the “journal” style just isn’t going to work for the ISBI, so this will be the last post styled as such. I might pick it up for my selfacy that’s a little more well controlled.

Also. I know. I’m technically a day late posting. I’m sorry.

Blythe rolled snob so I kept it. She’ll take childish when she hits her teens. I don’t do much with prissy sims so that should be fun. She took her free child action to meet the Imaginary Friend because her social motive was super low due to me being an awful sim parent.

Selfacy – The Life and Times of Marcus A. Thompson, 1.1

Heya! I was looking for something a little more casual to do alongside my ISBI, so I decided to start a (very relaxed) selfacy in another of MySimRealty’s worlds (to which I added a few lots from MTS and MSR), the gorgeous Sim Lau Isles. I even took the time to use Nraas’ Tempest mod to set up a climate similar to that of Havana, Cuba.

Check below the cut for (relaxed) variations on Pinstar’s rules and to meet the founder, my self-sim, Marcus Thompson.

The Grofs 1.3

So far everything seems to be going pretty good, other than Saul sleeping with the town and impregnating the female populace. Today’s episode will be our first positive point count as Aura gives birth to a baby girl named Blythe, who rolled Excitable and Loves the Heat; negative points too, though, because EA’s babysitter AI is stupid. At least he was kind enough to change her diapers after.

She may have a difficult time meeting someone who isn’t related to her given what Relationship Panel tells me, so she will probably not be our heir, adorable though she may be.

Blythe used her toddler free action to potty before going with Aura to the summer festival.

The Grofs – 1.2

So, Story Progression tells me Saul is sleeping with half the town (and I won’t lie, I took a look at his traits, Aura has no idea but he has commitment issues. I don’t think this ‘ship is going to work out). I still adore his genetics, however, so I’ll probably just Risky them until she gets pregnant and won’t move him in (because DRAMA). Poor Aura is likely in for some heartbreak, I’m afraid…

The Grofs 1.1

So, I had to give up on my last ISBI after I made a poor ‘hood choice that resulted in no eligible mates for my founder – bummer. But we’re back again with another attempt in Meadow Glen by MySimRealty. I’m also going to be trying a new writing style. Enjoy!

The Single Mother Challenge

source

Life as a single mother isn’t easy. You only know you’ve done well once your kids are grown, and getting them there is tough. For this single-generation challenge, you will follow the life of a single mother of no less than 3 children, seeking to raise them to be productive members of society. The challenge is complete when all children have reached the “Young Adult” age stage without cheats or early aging AND have jobs of their own in alignment with their lifetime wishes.
