Working on my legacy again, so updates here will be slow until Ambitions comes out and I explore it a bit. My Gen 5 heiress, Aludra, is proving quite interesting… so I’m glad I’m able to play again. Still having some minor issues, but I think I’ve sorted the bigger → Read More: ‘Back to the Legacy‘

Just a short post this time, I really haven’t had much of a chance to play this week. I spent most of the time decorating a new house, buh. I like to decorate, but it can be really time consuming, especially when you kind of want to play.
Anyway, I figured I’d make a quick post about the whole break-up situation.

Sun Young and Malachi flirted in front of Carisa outside, but she didn’t get the Betrayed moodlet from that. I was experimenting, so I kept it going. I let them kiss in front of her and bam, there it was.
I haven’t had my sims have much break-ups/etc. There never seems to be much of a need, as a sim’s reaction over cheating (flirting, kissing) seems to be pretty null. I haven’t tried the whole woohoo thing yet. To be honest, I wish the system was more… developed. Remember in TS2 when if a relative saw someone cheat, they were supposed to run and tell someone? Sure, it was removed… but why can’t they do that here?
It was funny, Maria got mad that Malachi was cheating, but only because she was friends with Carisa. I tried to check and see if there was any special dialogue, but no. Very lame.

I really wish I had more pictures of Maria and Mason, but I think FRAPs closed and this was mostly played while I was cooking dinners last week (yay multi-tasking.) Anyway, Maria went into labor at the fishing spot behind their house. I was kind of hoping she’d have the baby there, but she ran home. Boo!
They had a boy named Malachi. I swear the “M” names is NOT a theme. Malachi was the result of the Woohooer’s 10% chance.

Petra’s attempts at childcare were mediocre at best. The only reason the twins survived is mostly due to the assistance of babysitters! I tried to get Demetri interested in the girls, but he ignored them. CloneChristian, however, was more than happy to play with them when Petra had parties. Very odd.

I’m taking a break from my legacy because of time constraints and whatnot, not to mention the lot is lagging since installing High-End Lot Stuff and I can’t quite figure it out. Maybe it was me having to reinstall around 1,000 simpack files? Perhaps. Anyway, I finally updated and everything. Create-A-World is beyond anything I’ll ever mess with, but I have enjoyed playing worlds made by other folks! I’m especially in love with Neverglade. I was originally just using it to test the lagging issue, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit… I know, me enjoying just playing The Sims 3… what is wrong with this picture? Unfortunately, I have so little time that its short, to the point play is a lot more accessible to me right now than anything I do with TS2.
Anyway, I loaded up Neverglade and started with a sim that had an interesting mix of traits. Meet Petra Delgato… don’t ask about the name, sigh. I let my husband name them.
