I got four interviews for Japan! How exciting. I really hope I get one job offer! I would be so grateful. I'm going to work really hard to prepare for them! By the way, I managed to get them to travel back to university, but now the game won't even save. I'm just trying to get them through university. Once I do that, I'll be plopping Phillip into a new save slot so I won't have to worry about any of the loading garbage. I'll be sad to say goodbye to the house and all of the relatives, but I won't be sorry about saying goodbye to the long load times!

Still can't go to university in the game. I published a demo for an otome game woohoo! And finished applications for Japan jobs. I should find out by the next few weeks if I get an interview. Please hope for me! I don't have any of the next chapter written out, but four chapters in one year is the best I've done since 2013, so I'm not bothered. If I finish this challenge by 2022, I'd be overjoyed. One generation per year! We all know that won't happen. I hate how fast time goes by as we get older. Please check out my Tumblr and message me if you'd like to say hi. I have some good stories on there too. Thank you for reading!

Haven't made any more progress on the newest chapter since I'm still swamped with work. And there's a new devastation: when I try to go to university, the game shuts down. I've tried everything to fix it, but NADA. Trying again today.
19/10/2018
Apparently I didn't even bother writing something for last chapter. SO! Two chapters for Phil have been published. I've actually completely finished writing another one and will publish it next week. I'm halfway writing ANOTHER one after that and will try to publish it after that. I've been working full-time since May, and am now taking one class. Anyway, I go back to school in January and hopefully will go work in Japan for anywhere between four and sixteen months after that, so I won't be able to play Sims anywhere between 8 months and 20 starting January. Basically, I'm trying to pump out chapters while I still can. On the other hand, I am writing a visual novel and would like to put that on the top of my priority list. This blog is over six years old—a little waiting is usual for me.
23/02/2018
I can't believe I've had this blog since 2012. And I can't believe that I'm still writing posts for it. But it's an outlet, and I like to use it. I'm planning on reducing Yuki's segment to one more chapter. Just cut out a lot of unnecessary garbage. To be honest, I probably could have cut out this chapter entirely (NOTHING HAPPENED BASICALLY) but I needed to get back into the flow of writing. Okay, yeah, I just looked over the pictures in my folder. If I'm being honest, I might cut out the next chapter entirely. I'll end up posting all of the extra photos on my tumblr anyway, so it's not loss. Yeah, I think that's what I'll end up doing. So, wow, I'm going to be cutting out a lot of cute baby stuff so if you want to see it look at my Tumblr. But YEAH, I guess Gen 4 starts next chapter!!
27/11/2017
I may try to squeeze in another post before Christmas (probably not though). So much of this generation has been fluff, so I think I'm really going to try and focus on key events. There wasn't even any conflict in the last chapter. Gah. I'll try harder from now on. I didn't like this generation from the beginning—I like Yuki, but I really didn't like the dislike between her and her siblings (in game btw). The family just felt so... stilted. The OG Casmin family was definitely my favourite. I loved having Buzz, Andy, and Sandy interacting and getting into no good. That's why I like Gen 4. I'm seeing a lot more of that interaction again. It's great! I'm struggling a bit with how quickly the parents are aging in each generation, though. Thankfully I have something planned that negates that factor. I've been keeping my Tumblr (both of them) updated now, so you can check out my simblr for a story. Once the Haddad Challenge is done I'm properly updating my game and continuing the Templeton storyline. I'm quite happy for it. I realize that I have hundreds of fluff TS3 screenshots, so I tomorrow I think I'll go through everything and just put a bunch in a folder to upload to tumblr rather than try to construct a story around it here. Because, honestly, I don't really have anything left of Yuki's story to tell. Also I just noticed that my "rules" tab is gone???? What the heck?? I just added it again... Anyhow, Yuki's story involved a lot of not doing. Gen 4 has goals rather than guidelines so I'm going to enjoy it more.
I noticed that my blog was given as an example on a wiki! Which made me BLUSH. Any last things... right, so chapter estimate: two chapters are necessary, I might be able to compress two others. Until next time!
18/09/2017
Was I numbering the dates the American way???? Oh man, that's confusing. Sorry, sorry. But hey, I'll be consistent now. Not about updates though, of course not. This is my second post in one year so that's better than LAST TIME WHICH WAS TWO FULL YEARS HOLY COW. Again, writing outlet so I apologize for any RUBBISH writing but it feels good. It's like... spa day. For my brain. I'm not even active on my Tumblr anymore. And I hadn't been updating my other tumblr for a really long time (thank goodness I had 300 queued posts). Somehow, even though I've got a heavier courseload, I've managed to get my life together more. I think it's because of my cat. Oh man, in 2014 do you see what I said??? "two or three more chapters in Yuki's story" well this is the third chapter, and I can tell you right now that there will be about four or five more. Maybe less. It depends. I can tell you that I already know who her heir is an I'm actually very excited! I'm not totally sure when I'll switch the point of view, but I'll try to make it soon. Who knows, I might even have an update out next month.
But yeah, this blog is five years old and we're only into the third generation. Crazy to think about, eh? Even crazier is that I had planned on doing other ones after this. Don't worry. I'm not one to give up on projects. See you next time!
11/05/2017
So this is awkward. I've outdone myself this time, haven't I? It's been a full two years. Still, this blog has been going for five years so I guess it's impressive. Throwback to when I planned on this being a small project... I'm in university now and I need a writing outlet, so I've got this. I've discovered that the best method is to play far ahead and then write later. It's good for plot twists.
24/05/2015
"So, Nat, what's your excuse this time? This'll be rich!" Haha yep. It's grade eleven man. Three sciences, lit, french, ancient civ, grade twelve math... I've been more than a little busy. Not to mention that I'm writing a book (with much higher quality writing than this, in any case). But I uninstalled like 1.5 GB of CC, uninstalled two stuff packs and used a save cleaner and I can actually play like three days without a crash. I really miss the Cindy/Prince/Andy/Buzz/Sandy save, though. That was the best! They had so much character. I don't like Yuki nearly as much :/ I'm not exactly thrilled for the next two generations, either. On the plus side, I'm psyched for generations 6, 8, 9 & 10.
04/11/2014
Yooo, less than three months! Holla! Sorry guys XD Two or three more chapters in Yuki's story? If I keep going at this rate then I'll be doing one generation per year.
13/08/2014
It's been less than two months! I'm getting better at this, to be sure. I'm still on track for the 'four more chapters' thing. Not much to say other than the fact that one of my Tumblrs has been pretty inactive.
ALSO SIMS 4 AHAHAH
I will be so sad if people abandon TS3 because of TS4.
21/06/2014
So it's been half a year. OOPS.
SCHOOL IS SO DIFFICULT WTH no seriously guys this is 50% because of school, 30% extracurriculars, 20% because the gaming is so fudging difficult to load. Can you imagine that I had wanted to finish this challenge in one year? AHAHAHAHA. As I'm writing this I have five minutes before I need to leave for a soccer game I'm assistant coaching SO basically yes Cinderella had 39 chapter do not ever expect that again. Ever. Each generation is going to have about 8 chapters, like Andy did. Expect even fewer for the next 3 generations because I think that their challenges are boring. Expect more for generation 9 (I'm so pumped for that generation).
ANYHOW I GOTTA GO UM I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH 20 500 + PAGE VIEWS AND 50 CHAPTER ANNIVERSARY KISSES I LOVE YOU BYE
30/11/2013
*cough* um... uh... so... long time no see, right? It's been what, two and a half months since I've seen you guys? Er, well... I have 5 pictures so I'll need to take more, but I've planned out what I'm going to do and I think I've fixed the save, so that's good.
I've just been busy with rl stuff and quite involved with Tumblr stuff (you can check out mini stories which I have on hiatus for like ever). Also Twisted came out and I hadn't written anything in a while so I realized-I gotta write.
Yep.
Dats all I gotta say. I added a banner... also, Yuki's generation is probably only going to be five chapters since she's kind of boring, and they'll be short, too. YEP. BYE.
15/09/2013
*Nearly a month later* I finally did it! Yay! *throws pom poms in air* I'll have to take pictures and everything and change it to Generation 3, but I did it! I mean, yes, Andy only had 8 chapters in the spotlight, but Cinderella had 39. Okay, I'm literally laughing out loud at how bad I am. Each generation is going to have about 10, or less than that, for now on because of Sims 4 and I have plans and they don't need to have what Cinderella had. Fewer pictures=shorter chapters=moves the story along faster.
And I don't have any pictures, currently, so I'll need to take some more and change the banner and table of contents. *shrug* Andy wasn't even heir for 2 months! XD
And I have new pictures to add to the gallery. Yeah, not much to say.
20/08/2013
Oookay, so. I have 0-0+0x0(0+0)0+0+0-0-0x0=the number of screenshots I have to work with. WITH ANY STORIES THAT MEAN THE CASMIN LEGACY, LATOSHA YORK, AND COTTON AND CO. HELP ME OMB. I'm playing tomorrow, thank goodness, so I'll get some pics then! But I also plan on working out everyday instead of 3 times a week sooo I'll probably go for a swim too. :) Until then.... BABY GNOME, ELDER GNOME AND CHILD GNOMES
SAY HI TO MY FIRST SIMS 3 RAINBOW (also heheh a leftover Buzz prank I'll need someone to fall for it cuz it ruins pictures)
Uhm. So. Whatcha think of this dude? Based on Tumblr responses, I might include him in the story (lies I actually had him pollinate several female Sims in town before we have a town of Face 1s and elder Sims.)
One last thing:
Jessie: Woohoo good! Approval granted! Thumb
They're still living young. Which is a freaking problem. Twallan's freaking mod what the freak have you freaking done. I followed everything Nraas website says aoisjdlkfjaslkdjfal skdfjkls jdfklasj d I'll figure it out <3 Don't y'all worry your faces off 'bout it <3
So yeah, I didn't really want them to go vacationing but they ended up going anyway :) Yeah, that's all I've got for you. The twins are going to be toddlers the next time you see them, Bert will be a child and Seppen will be 1 day away from being a child, meaning that she will turn into a child quite soon afterwards. I might do a birthday post for everyone, but it's difficult to be original while writing them. Stay safe, love you guys <3

18 FREAKING PICTURES. DO YOU KNOW HOW PATHETIC THAT IS NO YOU DON'T. I'M A TERRIBLE HORRIBLE MESS AND I SHOULD BE ELIMINATED *ZAP* ACTUALLY NO I SHOULDN'T I'M BEING HARD ON MYSELF HERE'S A CUTE PICTURE OF ANDY TAKE IT
ALSO OF CHAR AND BUZZ AUTONOMOUSLY HOLDING SEPPEN HIVER I CAN'T THINK OF NAMES DID YOU NOTICE THAT I SUCK
SPEAKING OF CHAR'S GINORMOUS BOOBS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU ALL WERE WHAT HAPPENED CHAR I DIDN'T GIVE YOU GIANT BOOBS WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS
OH AND SHE'S A STRIPPER NOW APPARENTLY
Yeah that's all I've got for you. I'm super sorry. I've been concentrated on a Tumblr story I'm starting to write and my ongoing Lat story. Natty sowwy :( My game save has been super glitchy. I should be able to publish one decent length chapter or two really short ones before I'm out of pictures. I just need my babies to age up they glitch up the game. So I think I'm going to have to manually do it, which I don't like doing but I'm left with no choice *sigh*
Okay. I've made my decision. I'm going to do it. Wish me luck <3
08/14/2013
I've been at my internet-free cottage for the past 10 days, so I don't feel the slightest bit guilty at not pumping out another chapter.
I must say though, I do feel a bit of guilt that there won't be much more seen of Andy's generation. Don't be surprised to see potential kid(s) aging up quickly. I have a plan laid out and right now Andy and Jessie and Cinderella and Prince and Buzz and Sandy and holy cow every single Sim is just so boring. I love them all, but I want a little bit more drama in my story and that's hard to do in my game right now as I have a set storyline. *sigh* I plan on doing some nice screenshot taking tomorrow, as right now the only pictures I have in my Sims 3 Screenshot folder are of Jessie and Andy being lovey dovey *gag*
So expect one more chapter of drivel. After that, it should be more fun. I guess I've only realized now that the story goes along so much better with children and teens in the house. Welp, I'm excited for what I've got ahead. Oh, and I've written more than 11 000 words for my Latosha York story, so I'm definitely going to publish it soon... just need a good title for it.
Right, so I only feel it fair to introduce to you what I like to call: "WHEN BABIES ARE IN MY GAME EVERYTHING GETS MESSED UP."
Example 1:
Why Sandy, what's your hair doing all the way over here? EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN. HUH.
NO JESSIE, I'M ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SURE THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT
AND THIS! THIS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME! BABIES RUIN MY GAME OMSDLFJSLDFJ. HALP ME PLEASE I DON'T WANT BABY PICTURES THAT BAD BUT SOMETIMES THEY'RE IN THE SHOT IN THE BACKGROUND AND THIS BROWN CABBOBLED MESS COMES UP AND RUINS IT
On a lighter note, haha, he must be a Sim version of trans because I do not remember having this hair for guys. Or maybe I do. In which case, I should probably change it (Nope.)
Apparently Buzz didn't really like Cinderella's singing. Honestly, neither do I. I had a male singer Sim and his voice was great.
This was a reminder to myself that Prince was about to max out his writing skill-or maybe because he was almost done his masterpiece book. He did both, soooo yeah.
Andy: I am one with my wife.
Yeah, you sure are. It's a lil creepy.
AKLJSDF I have 55 pics in my picture folder and 50 in my screenshots folder and there's no way I'm going to use all of them halp me I need more pictures JIOWEJF
Anyway, thumbs up for a sucky chapter + sucky title. Love and kisses, Natty <3

Happy (late) 1 year anniversary to the Sims 3 10 Gen Legacy Blog: The Casmin Legacy! It's been a better year than I could ever anticipate. Sure, I wanted to be at like Generation 6 by now, but the other generations will go by much faster, I promise. Ever since April, my view counts have been much higher. 959 in April, 991 in May, 973 in June, and passing 1 K with 1049 views this month! Advertising on boolprop has really helped, and now I have a Simblr! It's a Sim Tumblr. You can follow me here, at kscriba.tumblr.com. 62 pics might've been a bit much, but I had to cut out enough pictures as it is. I think next chapter will be the last one where Buzz and Sandy live in the house, so be prepared to say goodbye! Also, I knew that Sandy and Cid would be perf for each other. Look, they're attracted to each other and both hate benches! Meant to be!
Here is a friendly reminder that Sandy is disciplined:
And that Jessie is the cutest thing ever, despite being a face one:
And here is the room makeover. I styled it red and dark grey and changed the curtains to blinds.
And Sandy is way prettier than I initially thought she'd be.
This has got to be my favourite picture. I don't think the gnome was there originally. Can gnomes photobomb?
And my gnomes reproduced without me gnowing (haha). Gnome babies are the cutest <3
Oh, and well shucks, I guess I'll add in this guy. He was a face one and I was like "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS" and changed his face. Now he's... er... unique?
I only have about 100 screenshots left! Hooray! But I don't have much incentive to take more... which sucks. SIGH. Generation 2 is so boring. I'm excited for Gen 3.
Ta ta, sexuals!
20/07/2013
I'm in a hotel in Boston and I feel dead right now. We lost our first soccer game, which really sucks. But hey, I managed to get a new chapter out! And now, I can finally transfer the pictures from my Screenshot folder to my Disney folder. I'm kinda annoyed, since I wanted to get ahead on math but there's a lesson missing online, so I can't do anything until he fixes that. Sigh. OOh! I have some artsy pics! Heh. I altered the lighting, added a dark border and added my penname to it. Definitely won't be on every picture though, just ones that are photo shoots.
You know what this is? THIS IS MASTERPIECE, according to EA. Also worth a lot of money. And it's a botched scenery picture that I took. Nice one, Sandy. Your masterpiece sucks.
Oh and I smell a hunk coming up
Buzz aged up very nicely. Although he still has a little boy face :)
Buzz: Hey sexy faces-wait, are the walls down behind me?
Yep. I do that to remind myself that this pic is going in Notes.
Buzz: Huh. I think I should have more pictures in the story.
Well, you had a lot this chapter. Don't expect if every chapter, buddy. I love you to death but you're not the heir. I'll probably end up playing you in another save file
And here we have the lesbian adult-to-elder lovin'. That's Alora Platt that is. At first I was like yay EA autonomously has them doing that happiness but after watching them for a long time I realized that all they were doing was cuddling. No kissing. Poo you, EA. (kidding hearts I love The Sims 3)
Awww how'd these get here I told you that they were adorable together :) The far left is my favourite.
Look how dark the original picture is! It's crazy! When I edited it, I turned the Saturation for the water allllll the way up (using my magic wand of course oh my deary that sounds so disgusting but that's what it's called oh wait I just checked and it's called a fuzzy select tool see I'm a creep but it looks like a magic wand). I turned the brightness and contrast up and for the background sky, you can see how it looks really weird. That's cuz I turned up the Saturation more than Char and Buzz, but less than the water, so it looked really sharp and I had to blend it a little. But aside from a little overdoing and a few small errors, it looks WAY better than before.
Look! Andy actually is legitimately good at hiding! He can turn himself into a bush. THAT'S PRETTY PRO. No more holding up two bushes when standing in a park?
Hmm. I wish Buzz had bought a green/pink/blue dye pack instead of neon. Rather boring, I must admit.
Lookit! *squeals excitedly* I got Cindy to upgrade it to glow in the dark! <3
The hypnotizer.... I'm still not sure what it does. Cindy went into a trance for a while, but that was it.
Mmm I love Buzz's face. It's interesting to look at. Now, I'm pretty sure that the plump nose that the kids all have is Cindy's which is awesome. I want it to continue down the family line.
Yeeahh, I can't think of anything to say >.< Only 350 some pics to go! Until next time <3 :*
15/07/2013
I just noticed that I wrote last note as 2014 XD I'm from the future! Changed it.
Er, I'm a little inconsistent with my updates, aren't I? I just really needed to get the whole Andy/Jessie thing out there. :D I WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS. And to think that Cindy doesn't even meet Prince until Chapter 19 :) Ahem:
Buzz's pranking strikes again! Perfect timing!
Here's the gnome that Andy 'gave' Jessie. He 'apparated' into the bathroom and that's when I had a good look at this creepy creature.
So here is how I imagined the following scenes play out (this is the actual mistletoe animation):
Jessie: So, mistletoe. Above us. That means you...
Jessie: ...and me do the smoochie.
Andy: Haha you're so silly Jessie.
(ROFL WHAT A TERRIBLE WAY TO PUCKER UP!!!)
Jessie: Smoochiesmoochiesmooochiieeee
Andy: Wait... uh... you're serious?
For whatever reason, EA didn't count the mistletoe kiss as Jessie's first kiss. So had her do the heat of the moment kiss, zoomed in on Andy's face...
Andy: balkjsdlfkjas HELP I'M DROWNING
And then during the normal make out...
Andy: OM nom nom
Elderly luv <3 (Yeah, they really did go upstairs and woohoo.)
Arkljagslkj Buzz is so cute toooo
I don't how much I'm going to say next time, so slight(?) spoiler alert-Buzz is Prom King, Sandy is Prom Queen (HA! Awkward Prom dance) Buzz had like 5 updates about Char even though she never went to prom (she was in the Casmin's living room the whole time) about how great they were hitting it off, and Sandy had a sucky prom besides being Prom Queen.
So Jessie serenaded Andy, but the screenshot opportunities are terrible, and at the end Andy does the weird swooning-I'm-a-fangirl thing (I was going to use this one, but then I noticed the music notes -.-)
She's a born saleswoman, so she
And that's all I have for you cuz I have soccer and really have to go right now. Wish me luck! Next time, Sandy and Buzz age up! Marriage proposal! Maybe even two! (I don't know yet.) Same sex loving! Lots of Buzz! Nomnomnom Spring Love! Make out sessions! Er, possible Woohoo! Possible pregnancies! (Holy cow I'm moving quickly!) We'll see next time on, the Casmin Legacy.
14/07/2013
*cough*
I've had online summer school okay? Reach ahead in math. IT'S TIME CONSUMING. :)
If it wasn't obvious already, I don't... I don't really like Andy that much. I loved Cindy so much :( WHY DO I HAVE TO MOVE ON NO NOT FAIR. 46 pics, decent amount...
FYI, Jessie did graduate
She only had 1 day of school, so she graduated with merit (how did she graduate XD) and was voted most likely to be a millionaire, probably cuz they shipped her and Andy. Heehee. Also, Andy can ask Cindy to break up with Prince. Isn't that weird? I didn't know friends could do that. WEIRD.
Also, I just needed to brief y'all on something I didn't think of until now. Buzz Lightyear and Jessie are so cute together. And in the game, Buzz and Jessie had the in game attraction system for each other. And I love Buzz. And Buzz kept autonomously trying to talk to Jessie. Nothing romantic though. See?
Also this proves how good EA's attraction system is. Yeah, cuz Andy totally digs paparazzi in creepy I can't even pants and a face one.
Look how pleased Andy looks while eating! OM NoM NOM
I have no regrets about breaking those two up. I hated them together. In game, Leon was alright, except being a face one. I think he has the same face as Jessie, except Jessie has a massive nose. Which is why she's better. Also she makes the best faces. I JUST WANT TO SMOOSH HER FACE LOOK SHE'S SO CUTE
Um, so... here's the thing. Cindy... kind of... well... I'll just show you.
Cindy is an unlucky Sim, which means she can't die anyway. So instead of having to explain why she talked with the Grim Reaper and trying to make it realistic, I just quit without saving and then returned to the previous save file.
Okay no.
I'm lying.
I totally freaked and was like NO MY HEIR THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING NOT THIS WAY NO CINDERELLA I WON'T LET YOU GO and I quit without saving and it was only until recently that I was like oh wait she can't die anyway *facepalm*
Yep. I'm a cheater *blubbers*. Another death was my first pet one. It was fun to watch, really. It's more cute than sad.
I've also changed my photo editing style a bit, and it looks way better (it doesn't change for another 40 pics or so though). Just a quick run through of what I'm doing for ALL pics:
Open GIMP
Colors>Hue-Saturation
Set the Saturation to ~25, depending on the picture
Colors>Brightness-Contrast
Set Brightness to 40, Contrast to 30 depending on the picture
Colors>Auto>White Balance (depending on pic)
Colors>Auto>Color Enhance (depending on pic)
Colors>Auto>Normalize
Filters>Enhance>Unsharp Mask
Set to radius of 5, Amount 0.25, Threshold 0. Sometimes I apply twice (for 0.5)
For scenery:
If the sun is in the picture, I'm now applying Filters>Lights and Shadows>Lens Flare. It's a really sucky version, so if someone had a free recommendation I would love to try it out.
I also work on enhancing the colours for scenery.
For close ups:
Like the below, I may blur out the background so that the concentration is solely on the subject.
Any other effects that I may use depend on the photo.
Also. So. Um. I think Andy's on a bit of a rebound. He was innocently chatting with Talan, when he rolled a wish to kiss him...
I granted his wish, then they were romantic or whatever, so I had him break up with Talan. Then I wanted them to become friends again, so I used "smooth recovery" but they just ended back as romantic interests, so I had to ask him to be "Just friends" again. Okay, so here's the thing. I ADORE in game Andy. He's so cute and really great. I really don't like story Andy. Sorry mate. Later I will, though. Just you wait. <3 Uh. Does anyone know how to take screenshots of the popups in game? On a Windows? When I press Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn it just shows up black. :(
The updates are that the first time Buzz asked Char to prom, she said "Do you have the dance moves to keep up with me? I'll give you a shot but be prepared to prove yourself!"
There were two snow days two days in a row, which is epic.
After I freak-out quit the game, Buzz had to ask Char to prom again. This time her response sucked. "Sure, can you just make sure I show up?" But you'll see later how it applies... ALSO JESSIE'S PHONE SCREEN GOT CRACKED AND I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ACTUAL SCREEN AND I HAD A HEART ATTACK.
Uh, Scotty Beaver (Anastasia's bf) is dead. Saw that coming.
There's probably about 300 pictures left until Gen 3, which is better than Cindy's gen I think.
FYI I have ditched writing Prince's story because 1. It's no longer relevant 2. The game save crashed and I lost all will to continue
Also, I'm going to be getting a Simblr at the end of this month, once I'm done math. I'll have a Simblr and then a personal Tumblr :P
Oh, right, one last thing. I got the HQ Mod Here if y'all are interested, but the lag vs graphics improvement was NOT enough for me to permanently switch over, so I'm changing back. And I didn't say before, but I'm using CC magic, and holy cow do I ever recommend it. It lowered my loading time from 30+ minutes to 5ish. You can get it here. And I'm trying to use Awesomemod, but it's not working. I don't think I have any other core script mods, but it's really annoying me because I know I've done everything right, and I'm not going to ask the users of MATY, because although I understand their annoyance at those that ask familiar questions, I don't feel like wading through pages of questions mine. And I'd love to use Twallan's mod, but it seriously crashes my game so unfortunately, I'm stuck with EAxis stuff. All I want is 1. A good SP and 2. NO MORE FACE 1s PUDDING VANILLA FACE ETC. I'm so sick of it. Like, really tired and annoyed of it. But Awesomemod refuses to work, so I'm stuck with what I have.
And one question-does anyone know if you can have children with merfolk? Shanks :) Hearts and luv! <3

I promised I'd be done by the 24th, right? And I'm right! So glad exams are done!
WE'RE ONTO GENERATION 2 HOLY COW FINALLY I'M SCARED AND EXCITED AND ALKSDJFLSDJFDSLKJF BUT CINDERELLA DON'T LEAVE ME. D:
*cries zee tears*
A few things-first off, I've started doing photo editing! And I got a new lighting mod! So my pictures should be much prettier. Basically all the photo editing is... well, I'll show you.
The left pictures are the before ones, obviously. I basically just opened up Gimp, dropped the photos in, clicked on a Saturation function, increased the Saturation (desaturation makes it black and white, for example, so I did the opposite) and fiddled with the brightness & contrast. I also made them slightly sharper.
In this pic, I also edited her eyelashes slightly so that they wouldn't be bursting out of her eyelids.
Here I did a lot more editing, and it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped it would, but it's all about practice. So I smoothed out the line above his athletic speedo thing and tried (but failed horribly) to blur his background. I also sharpened his eyes which looks really bad. But the most important thing is the line.
Now... let's talk about my Disastrous Sims Fire. Waiwaitwait. Before that. Char totally vomited for no reason orange coloured and I freaked out and I was like I don't have a teen pregnancy mod I don't remember Buzz having le woohoo what happened did she cheat.
And This Is The Day That Jessie Spontaneously Combusted
I've never had a cake go up in flames before, though I've read of it happening to other Simmers. See, the thing here is that 1. Jessie is standing like a fire demon and 2. She, Char, Buzz, Robbie and Wayne are just standing there with their eyes open and vacant expressions
And then Buzz and Prince's brave traits kicked in and they started helping. Wayne did too. Now, while Wayne has an intense, concentrated face on, Buzz has the same one on, but he looks terrified (understandably.) Char is freaking out, while BECKY IS LOVING IT. WUT.
After a few Sim hours (no joke) I grew tired of this and kinda went well they have school I don't want them missing school (my logic? Well, turned to Sim logic I guess :/) and I decided to find the problem. So the thing is, the fire kept randomly sprouting out of the ground which was dirty. For example:
None of my methods were working. And I wanted to lock everyone out of the house, but they wouldn't get out of the house (they kept wanting to see the fire.) So I built a little tiny boxed in area in the backyard, turned on the testingcheatsenabled true, teleported every member of the family to the box and went oh okay I'll just let the whole house burn down it'll be fun to watch (don't judge.) No such luck. It was stuck in that one room. Sick of EA's bull, I teleported Sandy into the room, deleted the tiles surrounding the fire so that it wouldn't spread, and had her clean up the mess. That STILL didn't work as fire kept MAGICALLY coming up out of nowhere, so I had to ctrl+delete every little fire patch thing and have her clean it up. At that point, I said screw it and just quit without saving.
I just feel like I have to justify myself. It makes sense, right?
As for these two photos, I could not find any way to put them in context, but they're adorable so here y'are.
Buzz does his flirty trademark move thing on his own brother.
I was going to use this pic but then I realized that I would have to explain the guests in the background... eh, it was too much work. But basically I thought that Buzz and Char making out in the background was just priceless
These next two photos are because Jessie is precious, makes the best faces, and is such a better adult than teen.
Barry is really creepy
I loved how the jacket that Andy auto aged up into read "Lucky Charmer"! Lucky? I'd vote no. Charmer? I'd say he's a Charming all right!
And we end with Prince escorting Becky the Midget (that's the disease she has, remember?) out. Thankfully, she's a vampire, so the disease's effects are slower.
Big stuff next chapter! I finally make the thing happen! Which I wanted to do since it began! Because I had to! Because it said so in the rules! Why am I using exclamation points! Use can guess what it is! Also Cinderella dies haha it's true but not you'll see. And yeah the twins don't have their bday until 2 chapters from now.
PS I'd estimate we have about 250 pics left oops that's actually not a lot I'd better get going hehehehe <3
09/06/2013
Holy beeper it's been a while. After exams are done (I'm done by the 24th I believe) expect to be BOMBARDED with new chapters :D Next... next... next chapter... Andy ages up. ;_; So... so does Cindy :( and... I think I'm going to make it in Andy's POV... which means... next chapter is the last Generation 1 chapter! Holy! Mother! Of! I! Can't! 40 freaking chapters of generation 1! I'm going to try to make every generation after that <21 chapters. I think I can stick to that, because generation two has already been born in my game and... *checks pictures* there's about 500 pics until that. Hmm. I'll cut down on the pictures, promise. But some of them are so cute! Like... this! I didn't know that Sims could sulk!
And for these three pictures, I was legitimately planning on having Buzz go "Now kiss!" In the first one at first glance it always looks like those hands are Buzz's XD And in the third one, I was going to have Buzz go "YES! My brother's gonna get laid!" But it was way too ridiculous and I basically laughed for ten minutes about it.
As soon as Prince aged (yeah, I did forget about his birthday lol oops) he rolled the want to Woohoo with Cinderella, just like he did when he aged into an adult. So here is their pre-sexWoohoo position. They look cahute even though it's a wee bit creepy. Trust me, I was so glad when Cindy aged up and made their relationship less awkward.
Okay, just creepy.
Heheheh Jessie looks so cute in this XD BTW don't you guys love her? She looks adorable! Well, er, not in this specific picture, but when she ages up I'm just like o my i made de righ choic.
One last note, for pedophiles-no, I do not have "cute child boys naked pics" or "child boys naked" on my blog. Stop searching for it. Cheers :D
19/05/2013
Heh heh, been a while, eh? *looks down in shame* My bad. Been really busy with homework and stuff. NOT MY FAULT PLZ BELIEVE ME! Anyway, this chappie was like 72 pics so don't complain :) I have a few pics for ya
So first off, I had about a 10 minute playing session, and in those ten minutes I bought Buzz a little cute smart car of his own. Then the game crashed and the next time I played I decided not to get it for him.
Everyone wanted to go downstairs at the same time so they ended up crowding around it with the same expression. And oh deary look what happened to Andy! XD
Buzz pranked Sandy and I thought she looked cool (high five for perfect length hair?)
I got backpacks for the kids with colours and designs that suited them :) So at this point I had gotten University. Wow, and I still have like 600 pictures to go o.O
So there's this guy, Nigel Martin-HOLY CROW GUYS THAT'S WAYNE MARTIN'S KID ALL GROWN UP FROM A TODDLER THE FEELS-cough anyway he was stuck in the library along with a horsey and instead of resetting them I just left them there. Not sure why. Anyway, a townie walked in holding a baby. At first I was like YAY but then I was like oh no face 1 genetics *sob*
There's the midget disease surrounding the can-that was the disease I was talking about in the story ssh
The last photo I have for you is rather interesting... IS IT JUST ME OR ARE THERE SPARKLES COMING OUT OF THAT MAN'S CROTCH
Sigh... anyway, see you guys in a bit. Hehehyou'llseeJessieinhumanformnextchapterbye
28/04/2013
Aha, I was correct about my prediction of three posts this month! XD I cut out a bunch of pictures, thank goodness, and it went from 95 pics to 56. Here are some other pics though:
First off, Cindy is an embarrassing mum, honestly.
Buzz is being trying to be sexy:
So Sandy rolled a wish to make Andy her BFF, so I had them chat up for a while. When the interaction to "make Andy BFF" or something came up, Sandy ran away and was abducted by aliens. Normally I would be pleased by this, but it came at such an inconvenient time. I think eventually they became BFFs though. BTW, Sandy's cover photo is her being abducted ;D I think it's pretty great. Cindy's is her striped and leaning backwards. BTW doesn't she look pretty in this photo besides her skin?
Here is the photo of the fam jam and the photo of of Prince and Cindy (top left is my fav)
And... I took this photo to show 1. Cindy's adorable/beautifulness and 2. THE FACT THAT IN THE BACKGROUND THE PHOTO PRINCE IS KISSING CINDERELLA HOW ADORABLE IS THAT EH
So anyway, I'm adding a gallery page where you can see the photoshoot I had (I'm thinking of doing one per generation or something) and I really love how they came out. I now have 795 pictures in my folder, after transferring them all, soo... I have a lot of catching up to do, to say the least. I'm now so frustrated because I was planning on sending the kids to university, but it seems that going to university has no effect on the careers that come with Ambitions, showtime, etc. so you only get a foot up with worm-hole jobs which sucks. EA was really lazy with that aspect, because honestly the wormhole jobs are super boring. I'm going to be sending Sandy, but I'm debating on whether or not to send the other two. If I just send Sandy it'll be super boring, but if I send the other two it'll be a waste of time... I dunno, I think I'll send them anyway, cuz why not? Anyhow, I love Seasons as it's great for couple picture taking opportunities. I'm probably forgetting something but.... whatevs! See ya next time!
23/04/2013
I finally finished the Characters page. Good. Dear. I. No. It. It was terrible. So much code to work through. One "</div>" tag changes so much. I used BloggerSentral's Spoiler Code (lifesavers, love them so much!). The older version was working fine besides the ID assigning, which I had no idea how to fix. So the layout isn't pretty, but it's much nicer than before and it'll save your finger much scrolling. I don't think it works on mobile, though, so don't try. I also now have downloads for Teenage Andy Casmin Here (includes .package file and face and clothing pictures which are seen on the page) and Teenage Buzz Casmin. I'm going to work on getting up downloads for Cinderella, maybe this weekend. I'll have to dig around in my game, first though. I forgot to mention (aha, I remembered what I was going to say!) this, but I purposely gave Andy much more conservative clothes in comparison to Buzz. If y'all head on over to the Characters Page, hit Show for Generation 2, Show for Teen Andy, and Show for Teen Buzz, you can see how their clothes differ (I love all of this now! I'm quite proud of myself).
As an update on the non-legacy blog that I'm planning, it's going pretty well. We're in our self-defense unit right now, so I can apply some of that to the story. I'm really liking how the characters are developing. Anyhow, cheers!
21/04/2013
I finished my English summative! *boogies* So, this one didn't take that long, eh? A week and a day. Pretty good, really. Um. So. Cinderella. Needs. To. Stop. Sleeping. With. Her. Eyes. Open. Oh. My. Dear. Lord.
So I was planning on including this in the update, but I decided that you guys would appreciate and understand the antics of Bonehilda more. We all know how crazy she is. So, first Sandy waves the skeleton key and Hilda is like I'm here.
I took these photos from the boys' perspectives, because imagine waking up to see a skeleton maid in your room walking away. PRETTY FREAKY BONEY.
Then she took out two things of ice cream, put them away, threw them out, took out more ice cream, and at that point I was like bonehilda wat r u doin bonehilda stahp
I finally figured out why Cindy's work outfit is so messed up. So Becky was walking by in her medical outfit, and it hit me. Cinderella has her chemist outfit, and the game categorized that in the Other section, which is also where her career clothing went, which meant that the game got confused and put Cindy in the chemist clothes.
Andy got his first wish to be naughty, so of course I had to do it. BTW, Jessie kept trying to 'accuse' Andy, and I was so confused, but I finally figured it out, I believe. She sat on the whoopie cushion, so maybe she was accusing Andy of planting it? That was my theory, at least, so Andy's wish to plant a prank was perf, and I was like k go Andy on that chair that Jessie sat on you show her btw I love Jessie so much more in humanmodeimeanwhatnospoilerspromise
As for the birthday scene, I tried experimenting with sharpness adjustment. Buzz's face is absolutely adorable.
Is it just me, or do Sims pull an extremely insane face that makes me want to scream and run away when it's birthday time? These pics go from bad to worse. (Does anyone know how to fix the exploding eyelash problem with Cind?)
Laffy Taffy Sandy is back! Why was I not surprised? Buzz didn't go through this syndrome
She then had to get jaw realignment surgery. But afterwards, she looked pretty. Not as pretty as I had been hoping for, but pretty enough.
So about the chapter itself... Yes, there were a lot of photos (85), a lot of dialogue, and a couple POV switches. But it's my story. Be prepared, because next chapter will have almost one hundred photos lapsing over the time period of one day. And yes, I know, it's weird, but here are the popups I got (which changed Andy's future so that he's no longer straight and I was like wut Andy how could you do that):
Andy convinced the entire school to vote him for Prom King. It's dubious whether he should be proud of his victory, but "A" for effort!
Andy's friend was drenched in punch by a rude schoolmate. Andy was so angry that a fight broke out!
((I know, that's not what I wrote, but whatever))
Leon revealed that he likes Andy a lot. Andy was so happy that he couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
Andy Casmin just became romantically involved with Leon Deleon. Getting to this stage with a Sim is a gateway to amorous new memories!
Oh, Andy hopes they play his favourite song!
Oh my... Andy just spotted a three-eyed llama! Help!
That concludes the notifications... oh, Lucifer died, too :(
Lady Tremaine really did die. I wasn't too upset about it, honestly. I'm in the middle of fixing the Character's page to add show/hide buttons so that it's easy to look at the different characters. Plus I'll be adding in Buzz and Sandy as teens. Ehhh, I feel like I'm supposed to add something else RIGHT. So. My non-legacy/challenge story. I've started writing it in a notebook. I'm going to try and write at least one page every day/night. I plan on completing the writing bit by next year, and I'll probably start writing it out with pictures then. Maybe. The reason why Prince's story is not being updated is because the game keeps glitching out. It's super annoying. What else, what else... Oh, yes. I'll have DOWNLOADS up soon! *party* By soon I mean by next month. Because I'm still trying to sort out the characters page. Sorry for disappointing you. But I have about 70 sims in the save file so I don't know which is which (there's like 5 different Cinderellas). That's all for today, love and kisses <3

I didn't take too long for this, did I? Eh. Maybe. But whatever. I needed to cover it all. Next chapter, Sandy and Buzz will be aging up for sure. And don't get mad that neither is all that pretty, k? Just leave me be. So, I've been deleting a bunch of unnecessary pictures so we can really move along faster. As you can see, I'm starting to morph into Andy's point of view a lot more, but he won't officially take over until he's an adult. A young adult, excuse me. It's just the way it is. So in game, he's a YA, but Sandy and Buzz aren't yet because I want them to attend prom. Next chapter is probably going to be extra long, cuz I have to fit in about 70-100 pictures. Not sure how many I want to use, yet. Here are some examples of pictures I didn't use, but really like.
Also, the bus driver has messed up eyebrows???
31/03/2013
Whew. I think I'm slowly building back up again. Hopefully next month I will post three, and in May I'll post four. I don't think I'll be able to post four in June, though. By July I should be posting a lot more, like maybe even nine. Wow. I'm approaching my one year anniversary, and I've only just gotten to Generation 2 in game. My blog is the length of a novel. Wow.
Anyway, on with the pics!
So we have Buzz, because I love Buzz. I don't known why he's my favourite. I really don't. But he is and I love him. So I thought that his armor get up was fabulous and I also wanted to show you guys the defaults that I was using (now I'm trying out oh my Tiffany. I'm still not sure though, I want something else.)
I believe I took the next picture to show the similarities and differences of the two boys. It's still difficult to tell, though, but Andy has Prince's jawline, whereas the twins have Cindy's. All three kids have Cindy's nose, which is kinda funny since Prince actually has a very nice nose and Cindy's is... well, weird. Andy has Cindy's eye shape and rest of the face structure (like cheekbones and stuff. I think. O.o). I think the boys have Prince's lips and Sandy has Cindy's.
Andy has Prince's eye colour, and I am going to dye his hair Prince's colour, as well, because it's stupid that he got white hair. I'm not going to deal with that. Buzz has Cindy's eyes and Prince's hair, and Sandy has King's eyes and Cindy's hair.
Cindy's figure is really good, but I did notice that she did have droopy boobs? Is that normal?
Andy had the taffy disease, too, and his jaw stretched weirdly in the pics.
There were a couple things I wanted to say but I forgot (obviously). I'll update the characters section again to include Andy.
ARGHSOIFJLSDKFJ so happy that you guys finally know what Andy looks like! He's the most attractive out of the three of them (I know, you expected Buzz to be since I love him), and yeahh.Oh, right, one more thing. WHO WAS LOOKING UP YOUNG NAKED KIDS? HMM? Don't hide, you pedophile, I see the search result thingy. Stats>Traffic Sources: Search Keywords: Entry: young naked kids Pageviews: 1
I don't want you pedos coming to my blog that way. Creepos. Ugh.
BTW I have begun Prince's backstory! I know, very late, but whatevs bro! XD He's an adorable toddler btw. Once I get the first chapter completed I'll leave a link. Loves and kisses xoxo <3 (BTW exactly 900 views from US. Plz 100 more my OCD will be happy)
18/03/2013
I know, I've only posted one chapter all of last month. And only one this month. But it has 56 pictures. Also I'm super busy this month, so chances are I won't post again this month. I'm a terrible person. Moving on because I don't care. Lets start off with some pics. Here is Cindy's new look:
I really do think that the red lipstick makes her looks prettier. As for Jessie, I wanted to show you guys the surprising amount of detail that EA put into these little guys.
What's that? An extremely bad Gimp background blurring job? What makes you say that? No, of course I would never do that! ...moving on...
As for the new rooms, I am extremely proud of them. I wasn't planning on redecorating, but I gave in when I saw how ridiculous they looked in little kid rooms. So here are the original photos...
And then I realized the floors looked stupid and I redid them:
Red is Andy's favourite colour, and I forgot about Buzz's and I was too lazy to check (it's Irish green btw) so I just improvised. So the bunkbed's bottom bed has red with black stripes (cuz I thought Buzz slept there) and the top has like an archaeologist pattern. There's a watermelon beanie bag and a shark beanie bag, a dresser, mirror, standing mirror, phone, globe thing, t-rex, disco ball, and other random little things. Yeah. Next up is Sandy's room, which wasn't as much work, surprisingly.
Alright. Princess pink bed, fairy bedside lamp, castle/rainbow background, butterflies and castle bed drape thing. Desk with some junk on it. Two mats, a door leading outside, one beanbag, and a dresser. A girly room that's pretty realistic, actually.
I caught Prince making this face in game. I was really weirded out, but laughed because his personality is so cute.
Plus, bonus pictures!
Ehhhh. Anyway. HOLY COW I ADDED A BANNER *cries in pride* I did a photoshoot so in a couple months I might put them up. MIGHT. Don't hold me to it. Also, part of the reason I've been so busy is because UNIVERSITY AND AVPSY (A Very Potter Senior Year *cries* *sobs* If you haven't heard of it, then I'm not going to bother explaining. Google was invented for a reason. Just start at AVPM if you must) asdlfkjasldfkjsdlaf;sd. University is amazing besides little things like when I'm making them skip class and try to fill up their needs, IT DOESN'T FREAKING WORK. I'm like Oh look, they have two freaking hours until the freaking need to get to their freaking class well I'll just make them eat a sandwich cuz they're hungry. What's this? You're eating the sandwich but the bar isn't filling up? What? You ate the sandwich and it's still not full? That's okay I freaking love EA's freaking glitches. Strangely enough, if I make them eat in between classes, it works. Also, this almost made me cry. So basically, I had my three peeps set up at a Dorm. Sean (low lvl jock), Jason (low lvl nerd), and Shannon (lvl 6-8 rebel). I was shipping Shannon with the hottest guy I've ever seen EA make ever in my life-wait, I'll include a pic:
A pic or three ;) Yeah, I know, he's beautiful, no need to thank me. Anyway, so their first kiss was in the rain and they were attracted to each other and LITERALLY EVERY DAY he invited her to a party at his place (eventually it was a party in his pants I mean wut). I was all like OTP *cries*. And then, remarkably, even though Shannon was failing until two days before the exam, she got all of her credits in one go and graduated. BTW I think the hot dude's name is Cyd Severus. So yeah, his last name is Severus. I know. Don't worry, I saved him to the Sim game bin before any damage took place. What's that? Damage? Yeah. So, I started noticing some more glitches happening after Shannon graduated. Then it was time to go home. And that's when everything got messed up (messed up is a kind word and not one that fits the scenario). Basically, by the time it was over, I had four icons on the left side of the screen, the one where you control the characters. Who's the fourth? ONE OF THEIR ROOMMATES. The other three's icon was simply a green square. I was miserable. I had so much planned for them. I saved them all, but still. Two Sim weeks wasted.
On a plus side, the rest of my game is glitchy, too! For instance, Taffy Sandy is back (I've learned that the scientifically correct name for this syndrome, according to other Simmers, is Taffy Syndrome).
And on top of that, something really weird happened where the food that King had put in the microwave to cook before he died was rotten and stinky, right? So I couldn't 'clean up' the food, and no one could touch it. Couldn't move the food out, which meant I couldn't touch the microwave, which meant I had to use cheats to delete the microwave *facepalm* Proof that I tried it all. They said that they couldn't reach the microwave, apparently. You reached it mighty fine before.
Anyway, much love and kisses. Mwah. Also, Andy ages up into a teen next chapter <3 Oh right, and I update the Characters page. :) And added a Table of Contents page cuz I sure need it. xoxo
02/17/2013
Sooo, what, it's been 17 days since the last chapter? Heh heh, OOPS. Sorry, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to write. You have no idea. I was thinking about using multiple perspectives for a while, but here we go. I don't think it will become a regular thing. Maybe two different perspectives, but certainly not four. And of course, Prince doesn't matter, the poor man <3 So, as you can see, Andy is confused on his sexual orientation (this was an unplanned thing... I blame the game. You'll see what I mean later. Maybe.), Buzz feels excluded from the friendship between his siblings and devotes his time to making the imaginary friend potion, Sandy is crabby and dislikes being known as the goody two shoes, and Cindy is just caught up in the middle of it all.
An exhausting chapter.
If I actually had people who read my blog, this would be the time to make an heir vote. But, no such luck. I've got it all planned out anyway, since this isn't a casual legacy blog (although I plan on making one).
It was also difficult to get the pictures in the right order as I went a long time without playing, so as you can see, the default eyes changed (look at the difference between Buzz's soot covered 'outfit' eyes in the 7th and 13th picture). Awkward, I have no idea why I took so many bathtub pictures. I feel like such a pedophile. I mean, you can't see anything, but still! 6 out of the 21 pictures are of children in a bathtub. Really now. Sigh. I'm such a mess.
Lik dis fur de trollin photobombin gnome in pic numbah 20 (No but legit I laughed it was pretty hilari. Things I do love EA for are their love of llamas and gnomes.
Buzz has yet to be scolded for a prank. Score for Buzz. I dunno why he hasn't been caught yet. I was kind of hoping for him to be caught and sent in the corner for a time out, but (Spoiler) it never happens. :/ My Sim kids are too good.
The twentieth picture frustrates me. Prince has such a beautiful jawline and cheek bones and facial structure! Meanwhile the kids inherited Cindy's jawline. I think. I'm pretty sure Buzz and Sandy did. I think Andy got Prince's face. Not sure.
Here are pics of Cinderella's tattoo with stunningly high graphics for my computer (with shadows and everything!):
And her neck tattoo:
Lastly, I went cray cray three nights ago until last night downloading more junk for my game. I now have 788 items in my sims3package folder (the download folder) and 506 in my Mods>Packages folder, meaning that I have a grand total of 1294 CC, Mods, and store content in the game. And my computer hasn't blown up. And it still has 350 GB left. I'm going to run a test now to see if it blows up (I don't think it will, but you never know) and will tell you guys if it doesn't. I may get the credits page up soon, but probably not cuz I have a lot of organizing to do. Right now they're just links and names. Just as a note, I hate TSR but they have WICKED amazing items, hairs, etc. MTS is perf user wise but the quality of the items aren't always the best. S-club is sexy of course and I have other users and stuff that I'll add to the Creds page if I ever get around to putting it up. Ciao for now!
01/31/2013
I decided to pump out one more chapter for January, meaning that nine chapters in all of January, which is pretty good (even if the chapters aren't). I've had an all time of 573 views this month! Woot woot! That brings up the grand total to more than 1500 views. Chapter 7 receives the most views, then chapter 23, 3, and then chapter one. So far, I've received the most views from the States, then Canada, and then Greece, which I found surprising.
I apologize for the choppiness of the chapter and how it skips along the story-line, but I wanted this chapter to be more of a view of the life of the Casmins than a plot twist or something. I was super sad when I got the notification that Jared died :( I didn't even understand how he died so quickly in comparison to Cinderella's age. It was weird! Here's the face profile pic of Jared, but the original. It just shows how much better the quality is now that I've raised the bar on the options menu. And his eyes are a default that I soon deleted because I found them to be too bright, although I like them on him.
While playing on the rough copy of the Sims, I saw Drizella with this speech bubble thing (this was after Jared die) and I just went Awwwww. In another life, I would so have them date. :(
I now have around 700 pictures to work with :) I'm very happy with how my plot is turning out. I'm trying to focus stuff more on the family, so when I eventually have a new founder it won't be as big as a change and I'll have more to work with and less explaining to do. All three kids are now teens in my game and I couldn't have been more pleased with how they turned out. I now have screenshots that I'm planning to use for covers for the characters. I'm not sure what to call them...
I've noticed that my pics are starting to show up a lot higher on Google Search now. For example, if you search up Sims 3 Girbits, a screenshot I took is like the second row. Same thing for Ariella Chen, Drizella, Sims 3 Disney Challenge... also in the "Search Keywords" part which shows what someone has looked up in Google to find my blog, some are... amusing... Sims 3 Downloads Lesbian? Dirty people ;D
On another splendid note, EXAMS ARE DONE! I'm glad. I have all of today off to loaf around and then back to school tomorrow. New classes! I'm not excited, though. I have Lit/English, Science, Gym, and French this semester. Whoopee. Anywhoo, a new chapter should be out in like a week I guess. Cheerio!
*Special News Update*
I will now be writing from multiple Point of Views. When there's a point of view change, I will write:
______'s POV
Andy's POV will be in red, Cinderella's POV will remain in blue
01/27/2013
I have exams on Tuesday and Wednesday so I'm allowed to write a sucky chapter once in a while. Regarding the chapter title, yes, I am AWARE that it's 'tying up loose ends' but my teacher told me to stop using clichés unless I made them my own. And frayed ends is more relevant anyway, cuz now they're fixing things and mending and blahblahblah. Woot 33 pics that's a decent amount I should think. I apologize if some of you are offended by the fact that Cinderella thinks grieving for an entire month is ridiculous. I'm just trying to stress the point that Prince has been mooning about doing nothing but sleeping, crying, and barely taking care of basic functions. It's difficult for Cinderella to raise three children by herself. Now she knows how Prince felt when she left home all the time.
If the kids seem way too smart for their age... it's cuz they are. Sandy and Buzz are definitely above the average intelligence of a child, and Andy is cleverer than the average boy.v fsdj frjle frw3ijl,ewd jiuwao; ufeI LOVE BUZZ. Oh my gersh. Sorry. But dark hair and blue eyes are the best combination. No, I'm not creeping on a little boy LOL. I aged him up in CAS (I tried not too but I couldn't help it). I don't think anyone will be disappointed by the outcome. I have to say, though, Andy and Buzz got a nice bit of mixed genes.
I HAVE STARTED PLAYING AGAIN! Wooot woot woot! I love how it's going, but I just realized that Andy is one day away from aging up! (In my game right now, not in the pics). STRESS. SO much to do.
Oh, I can finally post these pics now that Sandy has aged up-sorry for the nudity. But anyway, this happened and I nearly peed my pants.
And here's an okay shot of Cindy's tattoo. Don't worry, you'll get to see it in full later on. It's a fish jumping out of the water I think (fish out of water)
18 pics left in my Picture folder, 90 in my screenshots folder

*SPECIAL NEWS UPDATE*
I will no longer be following the matriarchy pattern. It takes the fun out of writing the story. I will be editing the rules to remove that.
I was so heart-broken while writing this chapter. It all happened so fast! I didn't have time to capture it all. I decided I had a lot of answering to do, which is why I made the letter. I hope that those of you who dislike King respect him more now. He was searching for love in everyone, anyone. He of course, has the 'family-oriented' trait so he rolled a wish to have grandchildren (that's why Cindy had three kids) and I finally put my foot down and stopped granting those wishes. I swear, he must've rolled it FOUR MORE TIMES after! And then he wanted to have a kid, so I was like ohmygerd, fineeee so that's why the whole Becky thing happened. And I know I didn't take any screenshots (I'm such an idiot), but King really did go to Becky and Wylie's estate. He really did talk to Becky and mend their friendship. And he really did never get to meet Jodi :( I knew he was going to die soon. I'm pretty sure he lived until like 95. He was strong. He put up a good fight.
Uh, Prince looked pretty sexy in that pic. Yum. I made sure his leg was up so that you guys wouldn't see anything rude. And King really was on a date but, like always, he rolled a wish to talk about his grandkids. Which was fine, but I didn't like doing it five or six times in three days. Girbits looks creepy. And the reason why he still looks like a YA is because vampires age slower! Duh! Andy is perspective, which is why he checked out the underside of his bed (it was confirmed that there were, indeed, monsters under his bed. I was going to snap a pic of him running, but he had no facial expression so it just looked dumb.) Cindy does become good friends with Wayne Martin (he became an 'old friend'! <3 Old friends are my favourites). To my fellow simmers: No worries, you don't need to buy ingredients to make a potion in game. Cindy was just completing an opportunity.
Two more things-Cinderella's tattoo represents when she cheated on Prince (she broke her and his heart), but it was so perfect to talk about the moment with King. I have about 72 screenshots left, so I HAVE to start playing again. Oh, the pain ;) Lastly, in case you guys hadn't guessed yet, I'm going to be making a back-story for Prince! Yay! I think he deserves it. Only a little one, which ends with him meeting Cinderella or something. I have a lot of small details to smooth out. ALSO, I just realized that Sandy got her eye colour from her grandpa *facepalm* OOps. That's fine, though. I wouldn't want her to be an exact duplicate of Cindy.
Here's a preview of one of my future Simstory's face. Here eyes, at least. THEY ARE SO PURTY.
01/19/2013
Right, so this chapter was a little quirky... But something mind-blowing happens next chapter (well, kinda) so no matter where I ended the chapter, it would've been either awkwardly long or awkwardly short (awkward that's what she said). I think I only have like one more pic of Bonehilda in the future because she only does three things-take out leftovers and quick snacks (LIKE A LOT OF THEM), clean, and freaking hold the children. I'm not kidding. She stalks them like a creep. It's freaky. Regarding the 'old' pictures and their different tintings, this is my first Sim blog, so I'm trying a lot of things out. But I really enjoyed the picture of Drizella eating her hamburger, so I'm making a 'cover photo' for her! Yay! Excitement. Aw Lucifer! I was so sad when I saw how pitiful he look :( And Scotty Beaver is creepy whatareyoudoingAnastasia ARGH. I was so shocked when Cinderella ran into Talan. Gaspers. And I think Medina was destined to be a tattoo artist! It fits her so perfectly (although I prefer her lively look). I only have like 94 pictures left, so I feel like I have the right to start playing again! Hip hip hooray! I apologize for how much I'm rushing all of this, but I really want to get onto the next generation. Also, I have a 'rough' game slot for the 10 Gen game, so sometimes I play around with it (I haven't actually seen Jodi yet! I think they sent her off to boarding school :( She's never at her home at even when I max out the friendship bar thing for her and Prince and invite her over using Prince, she says she doesn't feel like coming over. THE SUSPENSE!!!!!) On the rough game slot, Cinderella puked and she threw up like THIS:
I didn't know they could miss the toilet, stand or tilt their heads like that while vomiting! My whole life has been a lie! On another note, I have a few Sim stories piling through my head, and one of them involves this guy:
He could totally be a model. And I have two other Sims in his story. WAIT. It's not his story. It's someone else's story. Eugh. I don't want to ruin it. But he's in the story. Then I have another Sim story planned involving one Sim I made, and another complicated fun one involving 11 (I think) Sims I made. Anyway, chow! I'm going to play some Sims! <3
01/16/2013
Here's the song:
Isn't that just perfect for describing the situation???? I mean wow! And the part about "Just Felt like Destiny" I was like freaking out. I mean WHAT! PURE COINCIDENCE I PROMISE!!!!!!! I chose the name Destiny for the car, I wrote the situation, I planned what was going to happen and then I look up "Forgive me" and this is what I get?! It's like it was written for my story!
Anyway, I know it's ridiculous to expect to be forgiven right away for cheating on someone. But Cinderella's story isn't supposed to be a love story. Cinderella's story is about how she picked herself up and goes from being the worst to the best. I didn't want her to cheat at all, but the Sims was all like yep, flirt with sumone, yeah, have dat midlife crisis... and tbh Prince "Decided he wasn't going to make this work!" blah-blah the game broke them up! I didn't know that that could happen! So I freaked out and was like oh shoot Cinderella flaunt your stuff flirt flirt flirt! And I thought it was nice that Becky just happened to be in the karaoke club. Cinderella got a wish to karaoke so I was like k cool go dere den, Cindy. And now that I think about it, all Cinderella did (in game) was give Chad a "first kiss" thing. Okay. She kissed someone then she fessed up right away, but in game Prince was like hell no! You ain't gonna kiss no boy behind my back! Uh yeah, so King and Andy and Sandy and Buzz were all broken up about it even when I got them BACK TOGETHER. GAWSH.
The only reason why Prince could console Cindy and stuff after he told her was because he has the friendly trait or whatever, so I just went special>freindly>hug. Ya know. And Andy was like watching his crib for a while and I was like AWW, baby!! Also when he's hugging his little sister. TOO CUTE. You finally get to see IF Jessie full sized! Hoora! & King wished for Bonehilda (I think) so I was like sure! Bonehilda is awesome, but creepy. More shtuff later <3
01/10/2013
Extremely short chapter, I know. Only 12 pics, I know. Uh hello though, no blur screenshot ftw! Don't be too angry with me, but it mainly happened because Cindy kept rolling wishes to cheat on Prince. Yeah. I know. What a jerk. But that's midlife crisis for you! And I wanted to make Chad a jerk, I really did, but I looked back at the old chapters and all that and I realized that Chad would've had to have had a personality switch to be a jerk. Also, the blame falls on Cinderella. She can't go about blaming Chad for all this. Love you guys, post later <3
01/06/2013
CELEBRATING 25TH CHAPTER!!! :D
I realize that a lot of time passes in this one chapter, so don't freak at me. As I've said, I didn't have enough pictures to make proper time passing chapters. It's also difficult because I have to play on Normal and babies live for like 2 days. I don't understand why the game randomly changes Prince's clothing but whatever, right? I think that he look like the perfect dad and husband. And I only realized while writing the chapter the irony of Buzz's name XD And I only noticed that Sandy had dark blue eyes which I found strange.... Buzz is adorable <3 You may have noticed in the zoom up with Cinderella's face that they're different eyes. I dunno but I like the new ones... And I think the skin is new too, but I'm not positive. When Cinderella aged up I was literally appalled at the difference. And yes, the game claimed Cinderella was having a mid-life crisis. -.- Great. OH MY GOSH. HER NEW LOOK. I DIED. Please ignore the fact that it looks like she has fake boobs. They're real. Probably propped up but still... And.... starting next chapter, no more blur! Yay! I took a shot of Cinderella bathing (from the back) just to show how much more realistic it is. Uff, I really want to play ahead, but I still have about 160 pics left. :( Oh and cuz school starts back up tomorrow I won't be posting as much and probably not at all come exam time. Sowwy.
Here's a pic that's too adorable of Cindy and Sandy :)
01/04/2013
That's gotta be the stupidest name for a chapter. Anyway.
Sometimes the game just makes the dumbest maternity outfits... sigh. I don't even know who Scotty Beaver is. I think he's black and old and crinkly. Great. And meanwhile Drizella prefers her men younger. If I had my way, Drizella would be knocked up with Jared's kid and Anastasia... well I dunno. I feel like Anastasia should be dating Robbie instead of Drizella. Oh well. The game does as the game does. Twinsssssss yayayayayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayyayayayayayya!!!!!!!!!!!! Step-mother really does look innocent and gentle. I'm going to go ahead and say that she has Alzheimer's disease. Aha I was laughing as I looked at the fourth picture because it really does look like Cindy's suffocating Andy!!! XD Um, by big I mean that Cinderella's tummy was never as big as it was while she was carrying Andy. Which makes sense since she had twins. I was so disappointed when Andy came out with white hair. REALLY???? And I left Prince alone and then suddenly two women are offering him flowers! And he refused them. I was so amused with his loyalty. I only realize now how stupid the name Sandy is. Not the name itself, but to name one kid Andy and one kid Sandy. Really? Now, I have a problem for you. I want to continue the legacy going through the girl's line. So what, right? But the problem is, I expected Buzz and Sandy to get IF toys. THEY DIDN'T. The only way I can complete this legacy is if the Andy carries the torch, but then my rule about the matriarchy doesn't work. Decisions, decisions... The reason why I named Sandy 'Sandy' was because I was naming them after toys. Buzz 'Lightyear' (cutest name and suits him I swear). I was NOT about to name a kid Woody. And there were no girl toys with normal names... I thought Andy was appropriate. I should have named Sandy "Molly", but it's too late now. I freaked out and went uh Lol how bout Sandy. I'm so dense. I'll post toddler pics of Andy soon. <3
AND CELEBRATING 1000 PAGE VIEWS!!! <3
Here's a photo to celebrate.
01/01/2013
Omagersh happy new year!!!!!!!
Before I comment on the chapter, I want to clear some things up:
Becky got pregnant a few times before, but she miscarried. She didn't tell anyone about it and fails to tell anyone about it in the future, which is why I have to mention it here. It's not important to the plot, but it helps build on Becky's character. Becky threw up in the toilet when Andy was almost a month old. Becky was carrying a child and it was morning sickness (which is why she said "I'm fine). Soon after, she miscarried. When Andy was two months old, Becky got pregnant again. So Becky is two months pregnant and Andy is four months old when Becky confesses her pregnancy to King. One of the reasons why Becky didn't let King cool down and come back later was because 1. Becky was never truly in love with King & 2. Becky had been working up the courage to tell King about a pregnancy at last, because she had kept her several other pregnancies secret, so when King rejected her it was the worst thing in the world and her hopes and everything was crushed.
Now onto other things.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL AMOUNT OF PICTURES. Especially the weirdness of them. I promise the next time I start up this game file I'll take a lot more. Uh what's this? Special doll? For you Simmers, you know what'll happen next :D Becky was licking the plate because she's a Slob and I've never had a Slob before and I was like wut lick plates lol do it becksss. Can I say that Cinderella and Prince look ridiculously cute cuddled up on the bed together? If you guys are wondering why I made King reject Becky.... There are numerous reasons. One is that I only got King together with someone cuz he kept rolling wishes for it. Two is that once Becky was pregnant I realized that my household would increase to King, Prince, Cinderella, Andy, Becky, Becky's future child and Cinderella's future child. Ouch. That's a lot of people to take care of. So I decided that King deserved to be alone anyway the pedophile and Becky deserved better. I loled at the events that happened after that but whatevsss. As for the baby safety thing, Andy really shouldn't be wrapped up in that blanket but I can't help it. As for the toy, they just looked so cute together... And finally, in the last picture, that's Cinderella's elbow. Just in case you thought she had a messed up shoulder blade or tumor or something. Also she looks too skinny. I will have to fatten her up. Have a great 2013!
12/29/2012
So much happens! In only 17 pictures! I'm sorry that it has to be that way, but it's because Sims can't be pregnant for all that long and I don't know why I didn't take more screenshots. :( Stupid mistake. Anyway, in the future there won't be that many screenshots. Near future. Once I start playing again I'm going to take more. Also, Andy wasn't premature. Cinderella just assumed that he was because she guessed that he was conceived the very first time she and Prince did it, while really Andy was conceived about a week and a half later. I didn't know what to put for the title, so sorry about that. About the thing with King, it's just a reflection of his quirky personality. I don't want to upload maternity clothing to the Character section, so I'll put the other clothes Cinderella wore right here (she already had her nightie and formal, so here's her swimsuit, work out outfit, work clothes, and day wear.)
I thought that it was pretty decent for maternity clothes! I have about 200 screenshots left to use, so I'm going to start playing again really soon <3 Yay for me! Hmm, what else... I love the look of pregnant Sims and the way they walk. I dunno why, but I just do. Also, I would vote Becky as being the prettiest Sim I've seen. In this town. Pre-made I mean. Uh, Andy is adorable and I apoligize for any confusion regarding the deaths and all that. But it's just to show how much grief Prince and King have had to deal with. Just in case you thought they had perfect lives.
12/23/2012
I think this is the chapter size I should be aiming for. Larger, singular pictures, about 30. Anyway. Merry Christmas! (Or Merry Early Christmas!) I think it's perfect that Prince is embarrassed about his morning breath. I know he didn't say so, but I imagine he would be. Okay so I lied. The real reason why I used a blue dress instead of a white dress was because of the wedding dress. Don't hate me, but I thought it was a wonderful touch and didn't want to ruin the surprise for you. In case you were wondering about the informality of the wedding and odd lighting and such, it's because Cinderella Casmin is freaking Unlucky and she woke up feeling freaking unlucky on her freaking wedding day so no one showed up so I had to give her the party animal or whatever opportunity so that NEXT time I held the wedding everyone WOULD. And the amount of old people was because they were King's co-workers, I believe. The old man standing in the back looked enough of a minister, so I thought hey! Go ahead with it! The whole reason why I made King date someone was because he rolled out wish after wish after wish to meet someone new, flirt with so and so, go on a date, first kiss, etc. I was so fed up with him I just made him date the first person he met. Then I felt bad for him and made him propose marriage. I'll talk more about what happens after I post new chapters <3 So I have one foreshadowing (I won't say where) and one cliffhanger (hopefully). Merry Christmas!
Also I've updated the characters page.
12/21/2012
Happy Doomsday!
SOWH. I'm terribly, ridiculously sorry that there are no screenshots of Anastasia, Drizella, Lady Tremaine, or Lucifer. BUT. Here's what happened. I switched households. To a premade one. I KNOW SHUT UP A SEC GUYS :( So anyway. Although it's apparently illegal to do with these rules. HOWEVER. Before my game crashed, I had Cinderella proposing to Prince. He said YES. Which means I am not cheating. Prince just went to Cindy and proposed, because I thought it would be more romantic and would make more sense. So of course I couldn't make Cindy hug her fam jam good-bye :( And I know it might be weird that they kissed before they got married (it might've been better at the wedding), but Prince just had all these wishes to kiss Cindy and I was like aw why not. Um the 3rd pic of them hugging is just too much for me I think they're uber adorable. Prince's house is absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, I don't explore the 3rd floor as much as I might've liked. Future generations might, though (not promising ANYTHING.) BTW, as for the fire, I never realized how ironic it was! I think Cinderella was the one who lit it. I think she just had a wish to. And, I was going to make Cindy and Prince 'woohoo', but I'm not going to write anything remotely graphic. Also, I felt it went against their nature (in-game, they both had raging wishes to woohoo each other of course). Hmm, anything else... Right, I absolutely love King. I think he's my favourite (until he does something but I'll leave it there *(*(*((*FORESHADOWINGLALALALLALA**)*)*)*)*)) XD Anyway, hope you guys see this before the world ends! Ta tah!
Also, here are pics of the house <3 Sorry for the really messed up views.
Floor 3:
Treasure chest, dollhouse, children's learning set stuff, bookshelf, child's oven, bear, bar, Foosball table, treadmill, weight machine, desk and chemist's table. Also, I added in washing machine and dryer. This floor doesn't change too much.
Floor 2:
On the far right is Cinderella and Prince's room, which I don't change, I believe. Then the washroom, another washroom next to it (change the tub), and two bedrooms. The pinker bedroom with the pink bed is currently where King sleeps. I haven't changed it yet. The other room is the 'baby' room obviously intended for a child. I change it quite a bit, so just go with the flow.
Floor 1:
Dining room, bathroom, living room, family room, and kitchen. I think I change the kitchen a bit. I don't really care for the first floor.
12/17/2012
GUYS. NOM NOM NOM NOM CINDY GAHAHAHALA I CAN'T EVEN IT'S TOO PERF.
And if you guys thought that it was too much like the Disney version (yes, things are literally scripted word for word from it)... well that's the entire point, sweetheart. How else is Cindy supposed to fall madly in love with a guy at first sight, huh? I WOULD NOT INVENT SOMETHING COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS LIKE THAT. BTW, I do not recommend going for the kiss with a guy you just met and don't know his name, even if you think you're madly in love with him. Cinderella is, though. (I used to believe in love at first sight. Now I believe in lust at first sight ((ew)) and TRUE love later). Love is a serious thing. We'll see that later, as well. (BUH BUH BUHHHH Foreshadowing).
Jack and Gus died :'( I'm sorry. But that's the real reason why Cinderella was crying in game. I'm so terribly sorry. I feel really bad. I was legit sad when they died. I was like WHY NO. BTW slow dance wasn't there yet. If it was, I would've certainly used that mad sick yo option.
I was laughing so hard when Cindy ran past step-mother XD I was like SO TRUE YOU READ MY MIND. And Drizella and Anastasia autonomously walked up to Princey boy (why? why would you ruin her? what isicanteven) and started yapping to him. I think they even offered him flowers.
RIGHT. THIS IS BIG. READ HERE.
Regarding Cinderella's dress, I know most people think her dress is supposed to be silver, but not only did it look ugly on the dress I chose for Cinderella, later versions were coloured darker blue anyway (because it was on the cover, and they wanted to be able to see the sparkles around her dress) and because this is a more modern Cinderella, it's only natural I use a blue dress. Also she looks beautiful in blue <3
As for the whole running away thing (because I can only control Drizella, Anastasia, Lucifer, Lady Tremaine and Cinderella), the Prince ran away, which was perfect timing for me. Um, yeah, I know. Like they were all romantic and stuff and in-game Prince was like LOL no I'm going now sweetheart. But I think that's when the party ended... Anyway, so I was like cool, Cinderella run and I'll take screenshots of both of you.
Hmm.. Right, in-game Talan cheated on freaking Anastasia and I didn't get to FREAKING SEE IT LIKE WHAT THE BEEP. I'm all like romantic with Drizella and Jared (who, by the way, ran away after Drizella kissed Jared... but he enjoyed it, no worries) and Cindy and Prince, when suddenly all I see on my screen is "Oh no! Anastasia discovered that Talan cheated on her! How embarrassing!" (or something like that :D) I was SUPER mad at Talan. What a dirty son of a dead mother.
I really want Lady Tremaine and Hodges to happen. At least it'd get her a job boost if anything.
Um, right. Sooo, pretty much, Cinderella had creepy wishes to kiss the prince. I tried not to, but I finally gave it. Obviously I didn't include it in my story, but here ya go.
Right after this happened, my game glitched up, so I had to REDO THE ENTIRE PARTY/BALL. Oh ma gerd why me. Anyway, it was good because then Cinderella was kiss free. <3 Pure again. The game didn't like the idea of Cinderella kissing a boy who's name she didn't know. He was cool with it. I made him pretty accurately. I think he looks pretty hawt. :/ I dunno. I prefer the darker hair lads. This was before mods and stuff, so he'll look even smexier later. Yeah. They're cute. Even if Cindy's neck looks strangely long or she looks less pretty.
12/13/2012
Hey guys :) Haven't posted in a while. I'll post more during the holidays. My plan is 3-5 posts every month. I've just been really busy with homework. I have exams in about a month, so I'll be busy then as well. After exams I'll post more again.
Also, you guys may be confused about Anastasia's personality. Bear with me, here. I'm trying to make her nice on this blog, but Cinderella and her are enemies in the Sims. -.- Also SEASONS!!!! OH MY GOSH. Amazing. I've only played summer, but I love it! Absolutely fantastic. I can see why people were biting at the bit to get seasons. Adios for now, amigos!
11/19/2012
These two chapters combined equals one satisfying one. (BTW, up to 704 pictures! Woot!) So, I only had like 22 pictures left in my special folder I use for this blog, so I brought over a hundred from the original screenshots. Still about 350 left in the screenshots folder. :) Big part coming up next chapter! Stay tuned!
11/18/2012
So, now they're out and about. Graduated! MAN OH MAN! And maybe you're wondering why instead of having one picture at the end, I used three? It's to represent how they've come to an agreement (same with how they all got along, just like sisters). And I apologize for the shortness... Just pretend it's like... a chapter! Oh, wait, it is a chapter. -.- I take back my apology. I can make my posts however long I like.
And those "Most Likely to be..." awards were legit. They were what actually happened in game. I think Anastasia's might've been most likely to be billionaire, but I can't remember. WEREN'T THE KITTENS ADORABLE? I took like eighty million (okay, like ten) screenshots, so I had to delete some of them :( Isn't Talan just such a creep? Um, anything else... Right, Lady Tremaine's outfit was her career outfit. So don't blame me for that. Drizella is just a creep, though. Durr durr, magic will be mentioned. Soon. I will update. Soon. I love you. ;)
11/13/2012
I apologize for the extremely anticlimactic chapter. But did you like my reference to the best commercial ever? I felt it certainly applied in this case. And in case you were wondering, the horse was white. One more thing-I have no idea if that was Myah Shah or not. Which is why I'm waiting to play some more.
11/09/2012
I know, I haven't posted in a while... But really! 70 pictures! Give me a break, man. So, I am here to celebrate 500 pageviews. Aw yeah, baby! Also celebrating Cinderella's total awesomeness. She's too cool. And if you're wondering why Cinderella aged up first, I didn't cheat or give her a birthday cake when it wasn't her birthday. What happened was that when I exited CAS, Drizella was older and Anastasia and Cinderella were the exact same age, right? But then I went on another game slot and edited the life span to be longer (obviously). So when I went back to Cindy's game slot, I forgot to change the life span time back, and when I did it got messed up so that Drizella and Anastasia were the same age but Cinderella was older (I think it was cuz I was playing as her when I changed the life span back). So that was an accident, but as you see I've managed to play around that. Also, Cindy's pretty eh heh I'm proud that she managed to turn out alright. BTW I still don't know what her child(ren) will look like as (a) teenager. Yes, that's right. I stopped playing Cindy's game slot on the Sims so that I wouldn't forget important events, like someone not in the family dying (ie: friend). If you're all wondering why Lucifer is so nice now, it's cuz I can't stand to see an unloved cat... And also, LOL, yeah, the ball. I am following the Disney story lines! YES! Excitement! Sorry if I gave anything away by doing that...
Anything else? Oh, right, yeah, I kinda hate Talan, that creepy perv. Uh, lets see... 161 pictures left in the main picture box, and a little more than 400 in the Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Screenshots folder. Yep, still a while to go before I can play again. SIGH. GUYS. THIS IS KILLING ME.
What's that? Mods? Yes, I am in the process of making a credit page, chickees. I won't publish for a long while though. What's that? Well, when I was dropping files in, the number magically changed from '399' down to like '202'.... WEIRD. Now, it says '363'. Okay then. Still a lot. Not to mention the Sims 3 downloads I have on the launcher part.
10/23/2012
Eek!
Eek!
Cinderella is such a pretty YA!
10/20/2012
I worked hard on this chapter! And BTW, I never look over chapters until the day after at least. Otherwise it's too fresh in my mind. Plus, I like to publish as soon as I'm done, because I like being able to edit as I read, after it's published. And yes, I know. 55 pictures. But I did warn you. 94 pictures, I said, right? And I didn't use all of them, obviously. I always delete a few random pictures. Soooo 94-55=40. Ha, jk, I can do math. It's 39. But there's really on 38 pictures until you see Cinderella as an Adult. Oops. Young Adult. Haha, don't worry, I'm not skipping and age on you. :) On the 39th picture Cinderella ages up. But I'm not promising anything. So get your teenage, vulgar language Cinderella time in when you can! Maybe I'll make her PMS-y. Oh wait, she is practically half the time. What? I don't hate Cinderella, silly. I love her as an adult, for the most part. I mean, really, my favourite time period right now is when Cinderella is a Young Adult. But YA have the most fun, real life and in the Sims, anyway. And Lucifer shall be featured! Yay, little kitty! Even though he's kinda evil in the movie, he still is an animal and so I love him. (7 pics with him).
Also, I put the girl as Alora Platt since that was the only person who could possibly be her. Ah, well. BTW, I have stopped playing so that I don't get to a point where I don't remember events that pictures can't show (ie: people dying, dating certain people, etc.) Oh and I LOVE YOU <3
10/15/2012
Went insane on TSR :P
10/13/2012
I'm on a roll! AHHH!!! Ahem. Here are the complete pictures of Girbit's household:
And of Calvin's house:
Also, I know that this is an all time high for photos. 58. Whoa. Why? Why? Cuz. Soon, my pretties, soon. I have about 94 pictures until Cindy ages up, so I'm thinking two more chapters. Hang on, kids. You can make it :) And I don't mind saying that Cinderella is quite a beauty when she ages up. Yes sireebob. Purty. As for Drizella and Anastasia, sure, they seemed nice this chapter, but don't let them fool you. They'll soften you up before pounding you. Ooh, and in-game, I think that Girbits was Cindy's first date? Cindy here doesn't consider her get together with Girbits as a date. Also, what's with Becky? Obviously there are tons of rich guys around. She could just date Mr. Best. Aha, no. I'm going to be frank with you and tell you that I don't condone people marrying a generation up. It's wrong. 1 last thing-I thought that Drizella actually looked kinda pretty in her work shirt! With her hair up and makeup off, she looked normal. Much love sweetheart. Prepare for the party.

What's this? A post the very next day? Well, yeah, since it was a continuation of the previous post, kinda. This is mainly to show that not only did step-mother actually get what is going on, but Cinderella never gets a break. She has to deal with the same s*** all the time. This is also when Cinderella begins to suspect a rumor going round town (bout the girl I love-forget you, forget her too). Or her high school, at least.
Confession #2: I don't like Cinderella too much. She just says damn and hell way too often. I mean, girl, you kinda vain. She is, really. You can tell when she says, at the very start, "I am proud to say that I look very much like my beautiful mother" which means "I'm a sexy beast". But actually, no. I like Cindy. She has a hard time, but things get better. Life goes on. There will always be ups and downs, though. Especially when you're a Sim controlled by someone as crazy as me.
And try mixing corn starch and water and then punch it! It's really cool!
And...
EEK! CELEBRATING THE 10TH CHAPTER!

Hey guys! Sorry for the random post! Not too much longer before a lot of action happens though <3 Also, Anastasia is wearing a bracelet when she's repairing the toilet because step-mother gave it back to her. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Oh, right! I think this is Becky's first picture appearance! She's one of the few Sims I find that are actually naturally pretty. And then there are very few boy Sims that are good looking. (Confession, I think Talan is super duper ugly UGH). Have you noticed that a bunch of girl Sims are all blond with the same face and hair? What the fudge? They all look like hookers... why, EA, why!

Right and some heads-ups:
If you see like, wall (cuz at the beginning I was quite noobish and all like, I'll just keep the walls on the middle section), just ignore it. I'm not claiming I'm professional, so lets just ignore it and move on.
09/02/2012
So, something you kids may not know is that I've played wayyyy ahead. Understandably. I probably have 1200 pictures? Not that I'm going to use them all! I'm still on Cindy, too. Right now she's an Adult! Hah, spoiler, right? You thought I was going to kill her off and end all my work, right? But really, I've jumped ahead, and I have a few... warnings for you. Warning 1: Dang nab it all, I cheated! I be using mods! BUT, they are not cheater mods! I will tell you exactly what I have and why, when you're looking through the pics later on, you'll go the fudge? When did she look like this?
Mod 1: Cigarette Mod.
AWESOME FREAKING MOD!!!!! (No, not awesome mod). It's really cool, and I say kudos to cmomoney, the creator. Very nice, well done-the moodlets are realistic (though more could be applied) and I thought that cigarettes would certainly give the game a more realistic touch. I did NOT get this mod for the purpose of the 10 Gen Legacy Challenge. I got it cuz it looked cool. I will NOT tell you whether any characters in the game use them or not.
Mod 2: AutoSave
I don't even need to defend myself here. Really? This is probably a cheater SAVE. Maybe I progressed then went, nah, I don't like this, then the game shut down and I was like YES I can RESTART. Wouldn't that be sucky? So I use this so everyone's happy
That's it for mods, but there are some care packages we need to discuss!
CC:
Watercolour Contacts
I feel like this is kinda cheating-you go to change your makeup, and you can change your eye colour? So I kept the eye shades as close as possible. See Cindy's baby blues now? They'll be more realistic looking and pretty, but still the same colour (hopefully) later on
S-Club Junk!
These people create beautiful stuff. The ones I use are (dey aren't cheating cuz they just appearance! But this will be why Cindy's lips change)
I got 5 lipsticks that are super awesome (2 are 'chapped' looking, very realistic) a realistic eyebrow, and eyelashes I haven't tested yet.
LadyFrontBum's Skin!
Awesome socks! I got Naughty and Nice (Naughty) Default skin for women, and the Naughty and Nice (Naughty) Default skin for men, which I'm not happy with. It's a muscly version, but I'm looking for realism. You can't adjust the muscle sliders, so I might delete the default skin and just go with the default face skin. BTW, though it is compatible with... meshes.... I DO NOT HAVE ANY, so don't go calling me a perv.
NoMosiac
Again, don't go calling me a perv. I just want it to be more realistic. DO NOT FRET, for I shall show no nasty body parts :) No bums. No front areas. No lady chest. Nothing like that. I have one of Cindy in the bath, and it's so much better, because I don't have that danged blur in there screaming "I AM A SIM STORY DO NOT RELATE ME AT ALL TO REAL LIFE, DO NOT BECOME PROPERLY ENGAGED." You know the one Sim picture? The one EA has? No? Here's a pic to prove that even EA wants to remove that annoying blur. http://s2.static.mmoga.com/ga/images/screenshots/_p/1009682/bf022911ddf5133ca8f3802e18a07654_the-sims-3-master-suite-stuff-addon.jpg Do you see a mosiac thing there? NO? NO? THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING ANNOYING.
All-About-Style
One of the sexiest CC places to go. I got... two dresses there. Next.
Lipsticks
From the creators of Watercolour Contacts, I present "Simply Sweet Lipstick"!!!! Got the three SICK lipsticks there. Oh, and I got eyebrows from her too, here
Lastly, I give you...
MAH CRAY-CRAY HAIR
This no longer working, but the hair still works! Lovely darlings, I use this hair to represent the sim who represents ME. You'll see this hair on a Sim later.
And that's it! Guys, you're the bombdiggity dawgs. Please feel free to complain!
I'm really enjoying your story. I just started this week and is almost done with the first generation. You are a phenomenal writer.!
