💙🖤 Life’s Little Twists – First Gen Update 💙🖤 Part 5

Hey, Simmers! 💚

Time for another Life’s Little Twists update—and things are moving fast! Zephyra is growing like crazy—our picky little bean has definitely inherited some attitude. Salomena is doing her best, but mealtimes have turned into full-on negotiations.

Meanwhile, Salomena’s been feeling a bit insecure about her looks after gaining a few postpartum pounds. But then she checked herself out in the mirror and saw she’s still marked as "very attractive"—a win! She celebrated the moment with a little fart. Classic Salomena. 😂💅

Zephyra is also extremely moody, but one thing that always calms her down? Dinosaur bedtime stories from Clyde. She’s obsessed with dinos—she even has dino bedsheets. 🦕📚

Oh, and guess what?! A burglar broke in! I honestly forgot burglars were even a thing in this game! 😱 This lady thief just strutted upstairs like she owned the place. Meanwhile, in true Sims fashion, Clyde completely glitched out and kept walking in circles with Zephyra because the thief was stuck on the stairs. Eventually she disappeared, and everything un-glitched—honestly, would it even be The Sims without a few bugs?

Progress-wise, Salomena maxed her Writing skill! ✍️ Just Charisma left now to complete her generation goals.

Clyde also hit level 10 Cooking and had this super sweet dream about owning a vet clinic and is now “working hard to make it a reality.” Ugh, my heart. 🥺 Do I have to buy Cats & Dogs now just for Clyde’s dream??

Zephyra’s been spending a lot of time at daycare since both parents are working full-time, and she’s making new friends.

Salomena aged up into a full Adult, but I kept it simple—just a cake and family time.

I’m saving the real party for Zephyra’s birthday, which is coming up soon!

I need to focus now and get those skills finished so she can grow into a healthy, smart little girl. Can’t wait to see what kind of chaos she brings to the next stage! 💚

Stay tuned for more updates, dinosaur dreams, toddler drama, and of course, life’s little twists. 🦖✨

💙🖤 Life’s Little Twists – First Gen Update 💙🖤 Part 4

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss ⚠️ ⚠️ This post contains sensitive content related to miscarriage. ⚠️

Hey, Simmers! 💚

I’m back with another update from my Life’s Little Twists legacy—and this one’s a real emotional rollercoaster.

First, the good news: Salomena completed her Joke Star aspiration! 🏆 I’m honestly so proud of her—she’s been working hard, even with all the chaos life keeps throwing her way.

But then… something unexpected happened. After reaching her aspiration, Salomena started feeling strange pain and had to rush to the hospital.

And then… she lost the baby. 😢

I legit started crying. It completely broke me. She and Clyde had been trying for so long, and this hit harder than I ever expected a moment in The Sims would. Both of them had the +100 Sad moodlet for 18 full days, and I couldn’t even look at them without feeling crushed.

I tried my best to focus on them healing—supporting each other, comforting one another, just being together through the pain. I didn’t take many screenshots during that time because I was honestly too sad to even document it.

But… after many more hours of gameplay, there was finally a spark of hope: Salomena got pregnant again! 🌱 This time, I’m not taking any chances. I’ve been taking her to the doctor constantly (thank you, Wonderful Whims + LittleMsSam's Ultrasound Mod + Adeepindigo bg health system)—I seriously can’t handle another loss.

Meanwhile, Clyde is aging fast—he’s basically in full dad mode now. He’s constantly cooking up delicious meals (finally, not just cake 😂), and he even started working out to “stay fit for the baby”… which backfired because he threw out his back. Like… are they both magnets for injuries?? These two are really made for each other.

One touching moment? Salomena had a dream about the baby. 😭 That completely melted me. And then… it happened.

She gave birth to a baby girl. Welcome to the world, Zephyra 💚 ( ChatGPT picked her name! If not, she would’ve been named Vesna — so say hello to Zephyra “Vesna” Seals ✨)

This family has been through so much already, and I can't wait to see where their journey leads next.

More updates soon! 💫

[awayellis]

💙🖤 Life’s Little Twists – First Gen Update 💙🖤 Part 3

Hey, Simmers! 💙🖤

So, Salomena is officially dating Clyde Seals now — and let me tell you, he’s surprisingly the perfect NPC. Like, who gave this man level 10 guitar AND violin skills? I’ve literally never seen a townie with actual talent before. Usually, they can't even cook mac and cheese. 😭🎻🎸

Speaking of mess... Salomena broke her arm again. I swear, she’s a walking disaster magnet. She’s constantly in a cast thanks to my new health mod (Adeepindigo's BG Health System).

But despite the injuries, she still managed to get a promotion and is now a Jokesmith! 💼🎤 Go girl!

With more financial stability now, she and Clyde started trying for a baby... which has not been easy. 😅 But hey, at least Clyde does appreciate her WooHoo skills — he literally got the "WooHoo talent" sentiment and I’m howling 💀💕

Even after a few failed attempts and some treatments (shoutout to Wonderful Whims), the baby news just wouldn’t come... BUT Salomena kept slaying at work and got another promotion — she's now a Storyteller.

Meanwhile, she’s been bonding with Brunhilda (yep, that Brunhilda, the one married to undead Bruno Di Caprio 🪦). They’ve become great friends — Salomena gives the worst/best advice, so now Brunhilda has randomly joined the Spacey career path because Salomena just says yes to everything 😂👩‍🚀

And finally, the big moment — eating for two! 😭 Baby is on the way!! Which means… wedding time.

And you know Sims weddings are always a nightmare, but this one actually turned out cute?? Salomena wore the most gorgeous dress (I’ll link the CC once I find it), and there was even a random ghost playing piano at the ceremony 👻🎹… classic Sims.

Both mom and baby are healthy and I couldn’t be happier 💕 It’s a girl!

And since the next generation’s color is green-ish, I guess it’s time to start decorating the nursery! 💚🍼

More chaos to come – stay tuned 🌟

💙🖤 Life’s Little Twists – First Gen Update 💙🖤 Part 2

Party Farts & Bald Boyfriend 😅

Hey, Simmers! 💙🖤

Salomena’s got her work cut out for her – she needs to master the violin 🎻, max out charisma, writing ✍️, and comedy. So she hit the local club to work on her social skills. While there, she bumped into Brunhilda (without her ghost husband this time 👻), and… her dad. Awkward.

She wanted to join the Punch Lines comedy club, but turns out it’s full. No big deal – most of the members are elders, so she’s just biding her time. 😏

🎉 After finally reaching Career Level 4 – Opening Act, Salomena threw a big party to celebrate!

I let the game choose a random caterer and crossed my fingers for someone “workable.”

Well… first up was immortal townie Alex Moyer. 🙃 Yeah, no thanks.

So I kicked Alex out and waited. And then — success!

At first I thought it was Salomena’s dad walking in, but no — it was Clyde Seals.

Potential love interest alert! 💘

Oh — and did I mention Clyde cooked only cakes? 🎂🍰 Like, thanks for the sugar rush, but where’s the real food, my dude? Hopefully if he and Salomena start dating, he’ll level up his cooking game. Poor girl can’t live on cake alone. 😂

Well, time to break out the comedy…

Except Salomena’s prepared routines were all rated poor, and while telling jokes she kept… uh… letting out a little extra 💨💨💨💨 So yeah, the party kinda stank. Literally.

Surprisingly, Clyde either doesn’t have a nose or didn’t mind, because the next day… he came over again.

Except… this time he had no hair?? Eh, whatever.

Salomena thinks he’s very attractive, and he sees her as basic looking — we can work with that. 😌

Clyde’s traits? 💪 Active 🎭 Captivating 😑 Joyless (cool cool cool…)

No job (I picked Market Research Analyst for him), no kids, not married (a miracle), and — since this is The Sims — he moved in that same day. 🏡💑

So we’ve got our first serious romance and an unexpected roommate situation. Will it lead to wedding bells, chaos, or more unfortunate party farts?

Stay tuned — Life’s Little Twists is only just getting started. 💙🖤

💙🖤Life’s Little Twists – First Gen Update 💙🖤

Hey, Simmers! 💙🖤

It's time to kick off the Life’s Little Twists challenge, and I’m starting with the very first generation! 🎉 As you may remember, the whole idea of this challenge is to blend quirks, drama, and a few surprises to make the journey memorable—while keeping things simple, with only the base game needed. 🎮

✨ First Generation: "The Way to the Heart" ✨

Meet Salomena Knox, our ambitious Entertainer, driven by dreams of making it big in comedy. And so begins a story filled with love, laughter, and some serious career goals.

📝 The Rules for this Gen:

Start your career as an Entertainer.

At Level 4, host a party, perform a comedy act, and meet your future spouse, the Caterer.

Once married, no cooking for you! Only eat food prepared by your spouse. 🍴

Max out the Comedy, Charisma, and Writing skills.

Complete the Entertainer career (Comedian branch) and achieve the Joke Star aspiration.

Have one child, and name them using a random name generator (talk about leaving it up to fate!).

🎭 Traits: Self-assured, Slob, Cheerful 🎨 Colors: Blue and Black 🏆 Goals: Comedy + Cooking = A Life Full of Laughter and Love

I’ve also been putting a lot of thought into Salomena’s wardrobe. 😂 I spent so much time in CAS that my boyfriend jokingly asked, “Are you still making that same sim?” Ha! Guess that means Salomena’s getting a lot of attention, huh? 😜

Now, about her life. Salomena inherited a house from her father, and while it’s nothing extravagant, it’s definitely a cozy spot to start her journey. First things first—she wants to give the place a fresh coat of paint and make a few changes to make it feel more like home. (A small touch of change to represent the new chapter she’s about to begin!)

Next up, I began working on the furnishings for her house, and of course, I started with the kitchen! 😂 I always seem to begin with the kitchen when building. The color? Blue and Black, of course! Because that's the theme for this generation, and let me tell you, I never knew how many shades of blue there actually are. I even downloaded the Coolors Custom Palette Wallpaper from CCBriekel, and wow, there are so many amazing shades of blue to choose from! To make sure the walls weren’t too monotonous, I also added a Magic Garden wallpaper from MrOpossum, where you can find a big selection of wallpapers. It's a small touch, but it definitely adds some character to the place! 🌸

And guess what? I finally found a place for that gorgeous Celestial rug (Celestial Rug from Samtuse963) I've been hoarding! 🌟 t's now proudly displayed in the hallway, which ties together perfectly with the new paintings from Emblema Paintings by SIMcredible I added. The hallway looks so vibrant now, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything is coming together!

But decor aside—time to talk gameplay! I’m officially starting my Life’s Little Twists challenge with my lovely founder, Salomena, and of course, she’s already being dramatic. 😅

She just started her job in the Entertainer career, trying to get those sweet promotions... and on her first day at work, she comes home with a limp leg?! 💀

(Thanks to adeepindigo��s BG Health System—my new favorite mod that adds realistic illnesses, injuries, and chaos.)

So, what did I do? Sent her to the doctor immediately. Turns out... "The injury is more serious than it looks. Salomena needs surgery."

Excuse me??? I nearly passed out. Anyway—painkillers, bandages, and straight to bed she went 🛌

The next day, she was still limping around with a post-surgery debuff, but she got a promotion! 🥳 And that’s when she was told to learn to play the guitar or violin. Cool, right? Except the game hits me with a pop-up that says: "Salomena dislikes playing the guitar." Of course. OF. COURSE.

Now, usually I click “No” and ignore it, but this challenge is all about stepping outside my comfort zone. So I clicked “Yes.” ...Then I sold the guitar and bought her a violin instead. 😏🎻

The goal is to reach level 4 in the career, because that’s when she’s supposed to meet her future husband 👀 So fingers crossed her leg heals fast, and that she doesn’t hate the violin too much.

💫 I’m so excited to keep playing and see where Salomena’s chaotic journey leads! What do you think—is she gonna make it or cry over every single instrument?

Stay tuned for more updates, more disasters, and of course, Life’s Little Twists. 💚

🌍 7) Social Activities by LittleMsSam Adds tons of rabbit hole events—your Sims can send their kids to daycare, visit friends, or even attend concerts! It makes the world feel much more alive.

💘 8) SimDa Dating App by LittleMsSam Think of it as Tinder for Sims! Your Sims can go on blind dates, specific dates, or even find a hook-up.

Life's Little Twists

Hey, fellow simmers! 💚

I’ve always been obsessed with legacy gameplay—the drama, the storytelling, and watching families evolve over generations is chef’s kiss. But let’s be real, not all of us have every shiny DLC (and that’s totally okay!). Instead of wishing for more packs, I decided to get creative and craft a legacy challenge that’s bursting with personality without needing anything but the base game.

That’s how Life’s Little Twists was born! This challenge is all about leaning into the quirks, drama, and surprises of life while keeping things simple, yet full of heart. Each generation has a unique story and a little twist to keep you on your toes and make your Sims’ lives truly unforgettable.

And now? It’s time to put it to the test! In my next posts, I’ll be playing through my own challenge—since I’ve done similar generations before, I’ve added new elements that I usually don’t focus on (helping kids with homework, reading to them, dancing, painting from reference, repairing broken objects, and more). Just small details to shake up my usual playstyle!

Right now, I’ve planned 10 generations, but I’m thinking about stretching it to 26—because how cool would it be if every gen had its own letter? 🤔 Let’s see where this journey takes us!

Stay tuned for gameplay updates, chaos, and, of course, life’s little twists! 😏✨

Rules:

⚙️ normal lifespan

💸 no money cheats

⚙️ No mods that make the game easier (let's keep it challenging!)

🎨 CC allowed

Ready for generational stories? Let’s go! ⬇️

🌟 New Update: Kitchen + Living Room! 🌟

Hey, Simmers! 🌸 So, while playing, I took a quick break and popped into another household to redecorate a bit. I’ve got some fresh CC, and I couldn’t wait to try it out!

In the kitchen, I added the usual essentials like oven mitts and a countertop outlet (because, let’s be honest, every kitchen needs them). I also got a new pot and appliances—sadly, they’re just decor and not functional, but they look cute! 😂

I also found some new wall art!

Finally, I don’t have to resize some smaller paintings over and over with cheats. My favorite creator for these beautiful pieces (and rugs) is samtuse963. Definitely recommend checking them out!

And then, there’s the new armchair I got. I’m in love with it! The floral pattern is just perfect. Shoutout to AggresiveKitty, the creator behind this gem. It’s just chef’s kiss! 😍🌸 Curseforge download (armchair)

Can’t wait to share more updates as I keep adding more fun details to my Sims’ homes! 💖

🌿 New Gameplay Update – (Not Quite) Rags to Riches! 🌿 Part 2

⚠️ TW: Death 💀 (elder Sim passing, ghost interactions)

Hey, Simmers! Brunhilda has been playing her guitar anywhere she can, trying to earn enough simoleons to survive. She even played in the park, where her questionable musical talent put the surrounding Sims to sleep. 😆

But let’s be real—what’s a Sims playthrough without a little romance drama? I decided that Brunhilda needed to find the love of her life, so she started dating non-stop until she met someone she found Extremely Attractive. And guess what? That person was none other than Bruno di Caprio. (Yes, this was supposed to be Leonardo di Caprio, but my naming system dictated Bruno was next, so… here we are. 😆)

Small issue: Bruno was already an elder. 🫠 And when he and Brunhilda finally took things to the next level, well… he literally dropped dead. Right after woohoo. 💀

I begged Grim Reaper to spare him, but no luck. And then, just when I thought things couldn’t get more ridiculous, Bruno’s ghost picked a fight with Grim. Like sir, you just died, this is NOT the time! 😭

Also, Bruno was married before all this, but fun fact: when a Sim dies and becomes a ghost, their marriage status disappears. So... problem solved? 😂 No longer bound by his previous commitment, Bruno proposed to Brunhilda from the afterlife. Because nothing says "till death do us part" like… completely ignoring death. So yeah, now Brunhilda has a ghost fiancé. Because, of course.

Then, I wanted Brunhilda and Bruno to have a baby. But, surprise surprise, ghost Sims can’t impregnate anyone. (EA, please, let me have ghost babies properly!!) So I thought—well, why not try for a baby with Grim Reaper instead?

A great idea, except... it wasn’t working. No matter how many times they woohoo’d, Brunhilda just wouldn’t get pregnant. (Brunhilda + Grim Reaper ... and Bruno just playing video games)

So I caved and used MC Command Center to manually assign Bruno as the father. I had planned for one baby, a single little sim boy, and moved on.

Then, I took a quick detour to fix up some CC outfits for my townies. While I was at it, I noticed that one of my Sims had just given birth to identical twin girls, and I was genuinely impressed because they looked exactly the same—like, perfect copy-paste twins. 👀

Feeling good about my little makeover session, I went back to Brunhilda’s tiny home and started renovating a beautiful nursery with the money she and Bruno had saved up.

Everything was set up, all ready for their one baby.

Then I sent Brunhilda for an ultrasound and...

"Excuse me? Why are there TWO babies? I ordered ONE!???" 😭

Sooo, yeah. Looks like Brunhilda is having unexpected twins. Thanks, universe. 😭

— Looks like I forgot to set the "number of girl babies" in MCC To get just one boy, I needed to set girls to 0… but I left it blank. And of course, the menu says "leave blank for random." RIP me. 💀😂

Hey, Simmers! ✨ So… what’s next after completing Not So Berry? 🤔 I’ve been thinking about trying the Sims in Bloom Legacy Challenge (Base Game version) since I only have Jungle Adventure and Get Together. But, I wanted something different in the meantime.

I decided to do a money struggle challenge, kind of like Rags to Riches, but without following the actual rules—just my own chaotic version of starting from nothing and building up from there. 😆

Meet Brunhilda Shadowheart (yes, her mom is Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3—don’t ask, I was deep in my BG3 phase when I made her 😂). I dropped her onto an empty lot, set her funds to §0, and let her figure it out. Just pure survival.

At first, she was scavenging for fruit, digging up fossils, and selling selfies (as you do in The Sims 4 😆). After a while, she managed to buy a tiny shack—literally just a bed and a fridge. And where does she pee? In the bush behind her house, obviously.

Brunhilda kept hustling, collecting everything she could, and after a few more selfie sales (honestly the real money-making strategy of this game), she finally had enough for an actual tiny home.

Since I put her in the Entertainment career (because apparently, I’ve never finished it for the achievement? How?!), I decided she’s going to become a famous guitarist! 🎸 Right now, she’s making questionable music in a local bar for tips. 🎶

Small house update before work.

After her first day at work, she was able to add windows and wallpaper—big progress! 😆

And now… the roof. My nemesis. I hate doing roofs in this game, but we’ll see how it turns out.

Honestly, I’m loving the money struggle, because in generational challenges, my Sims always end up filthy rich way too fast. Even with donating to charity, they still have stupid amounts of money sitting in their household funds. This way, it actually feels like every simoleon counts!

So, let’s see if Brunhilda can go from broke to legend! 🌿✨

💙 Not So Berry: Base Game Edition – Part 7 💙

Jett is over the moon about another baby… but of course, he is—he’s not the one going through labor! 😂

Meanwhile, poor Dobroslava is running around, juggling the kids, keeping up with her writing career, and trying to find at least a minute of peace. She barely has time to sit down before another toddler is crying for food, another diaper needs changing, or someone is throwing a tantrum. But hey, Jett is totally thriving. He’s focused on maxing out his career and skills, and the only thing left for him is gardening—which, in my opinion, is one of the most annoying skills in the game. It’s right up there with fishing, which I’ve never liked in any game. (Not even Stardew Valley, sorry!)

But something weird happened—Jett suddenly got a "Growing Family" moodlet. I have never seen it before, and I think it’s a new one from completing his aspiration? Either way, it made me really happy! Finding something new in The Sims 4 is always fun, even after playing for so long.

Dobroslava woke up feeling sick but happy from the dream she had… where she was pregnant again. Girl, you ARE pregnant again! 😂 At this point, I can’t keep up with all these babies!

Thankfully, I have LittleMsSam’s Social Activities mod, so I always send the older kids to daycare. I swear Dobroslava would have lost her mind by now if I didn't. 😅 Between writing books, managing the household, and being heavily pregnant, she barely has time to function. And then… baby Květuše was born! 🎉

But, just as I thought things were settling down, BAM—another baby! A few days later, Milíč joined the chaos.

But the biggest moment? Jett finally reached the top of his career! 🎉 And with that, Not So Berry (Base Game Edition) is officially complete!

I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been such a wild ride—so many kids, so much chaos, and so many burglaries. But I had such a blast playing through this challenge. Now the real question is… what’s next? 👀

🏳️‍🌈 LGBT+ Representation 🚗 TW: Car Accident / Parental Loss

Hey Simmers! 💙 Burglar chaos continues! 🚨 Now that burglars finally actually show up in my game (probably sensing all that Simoleon wealth 💰😂), I might even turn off the lot challenge that attracts them. I got to experience the thrill, so mission accomplished!

Meanwhile, Dobroslava is busy juggling her writing career and raising the kids. 📖💙

And then there’s Jett… who woke up from a terrifying nightmare (shoutout to the Dreams & Nightmares mod, one of my faves—currently working on translating it into Czech!). But instead of just shaking it off, he immediately rolled a whim to… have another baby. Jett, my guy, aren’t six enough? 😅

Well, thanks to Wonderful Whims and my questionable habit of forgetting protection during woohoo… surprise! Dobroslava is pregnant again. At this point, I might as well start the 100 Baby Challenge too, right? 😂

In other family news, Barnabáš found love! 💙 He and his girlfriend Pěva now have a daughter, Alida.

Pěva’s backstory is kinda tragic—her parents, Maxima and Slavoj, died in a car accident (according to my lore), so she and her brother Slavibor were raised by their aunt Vilia and her partner Fatim. Fatim was originally Fatima before transitioning!

💙🎭 Not So Berry: Base Game Edition - Generation 10 (Blue) 🎭💙 Part 5

Hey Simmers! 💙👶👶

BIG update today because things are getting crowded in my legacy house.

So, after Dobroslava’s ultrasound… surprise! She’s expecting TWINS—one boy and one girl! 😱 The house is basically bursting at the seams at this point, so I had to start planning ahead. Checked the calendar for name inspiration, and we’ve got:

🍼 Milík (boy) 🍼 Adolfa (girl)

To make room, I finally moved out the almost-adults: Aniyah, Amelia, and Caiden.

🏡 Aniyah moved in with her fiancé Kian (no kids yet!) and took her brother Caiden along for the ride. 💰 Amelia found herself a rich boyfriend, Dobromír, who conveniently had a huge house… and they wasted no time adopting FOUR kids! 😆

And because my game loves chaos, guess what? A burglar showed up at Amelia & Dobromír’s place too! Seriously, now they’re invading every household. But the only ones bothered by it seemed to be Dobromír’s dead ancestors (aka ghosts). 👻😂

On the bright side, this baby boom helped me complete Jett’s aspiration—he officially has four grandkids! 🎉 With that checked off, he’s now focused on maxing out his career and gardening skills.

And as for the newborns? Milík and Adolfa are basically Jett’s mini-me’s. Can’t wait to see their personalities unfold! 💙

Hey Simmers!

This update is WILD from start to finish, so let’s get into it.

Aniyah and Kian’s date went so well that they ended up getting engaged! 🥹💍 Yay!! But literally the second she pulled out the ring…

A THIEF APPEARED. Yes, you read that right. My first-ever burglar in-game! I’ve been waiting for this moment since the update, and FINALLY, it happened. (And that’s with a lot trait that increases the chance of burglars too 😭).

At first, Jett wasn’t too bothered—just chilling there like, “Oh, we’re getting robbed? Cool, cool.”

But then something snapped, and he decided to fight the burglar. Big mistake. HUGE. Jett has level 1 fitness, and well… he got absolutely wrecked. In front of EVERYONE. The humiliation was real. 💀

Meanwhile, Dobroslava went for an ultrasound, and guess what?

She’s having TWINS! OMGGGG!!! 👶👶💙💙

So, to sum up: ✅ Aniyah is engaged! ✅ A burglar finally showed up! ✅ Jett lost a fight in the most embarrassing way possible! ✅ And Dobroslava is about to add two more babies to the chaos!

This legacy is getting crazier by the minute, and I LOVE IT. 😆

💙🎭 Not So Berry: Base Game Edition – Generation 10 (Blue) 🎭💙 Part 4

Hey Simmers! Big update today because things are moving fast in my legacy! Aniyah, Amelia, and Caiden have officially aged up into teenagers, and you know what that means… classic horrific CC choices.

😭 Anyway, after a much-needed makeover, they’re looking much better—what do you think?

But there’s no time to waste! Aniyah is on a mission. Since Jett’s final aspiration milestone is “Have 4 Grandchildren,” she needs to start working on that ASAP. So, it’s time for her first date! And the lucky guy? Kian Villareal. It went so well—both of them see each other as extremely attractive 👀 I think we have a match!

Right after that, Maxmilian invited Aniyah to a party, and of course, she went. And let me tell you, it wouldn’t be a proper Sims party without:

✔️ Some random Sim dropping down to do push-ups 💀

✔️ Svatoslava showing up as a ghost, STILL ready to party in the afterlife. This woman literally never stops.

While Aniyah was out having fun, Jett was having some thoughts about family life. He has the aspiration and traits for a big family and kept rolling whims about wanting another child. So, I figured—why not? He and Dobroslava tried for another baby.

And of course… first try. Because of course.

Dobroslava is pregnant again! 🎉👶💙 Looks like Aniyah better start working on those grandkids quickly because this household is getting crowded!

TW: Pregnancy complications

Hey, Simmers! 💙 I was so excited for the new update, but of course, with new updates come new bugs… and oh boy, there are plenty. The first and most horrifying one? Kids with extremely exaggerated body curves. 😭 I tried everything—CAS, resetSim—nothing works. I am losing my mind!

So, I decided to just focus on playing my family instead.

But then—Dobroslava woke up from her afternoon nap in excruciating pain! My heart dropped.

I thought this game was about to hit me with another tragic blow… but luckily, the baby was fine. Phew. 😮‍💨

I also finally managed to complete all the tasks in the Time Travelling Event with Emit! ✅

And at last, baby Víta was born! 🎉 Welcome to the chaos, little one.

Aniyah, however, was not happy about yet another sibling. She already felt like she had to share her mom with two others, and now there’s a third? Yikes. Guess I need to work on those family relationships. 😬

Maybe that’s why Aniyah randomly joined the Garden Gnomes club? 🤔 She has never touched a plant in her life, but okay, girl, go off. 🌱😂

Meanwhile, while Dobroslava was out bonding with the kids at the circus, Jett was supposed to be babysitting Víta... but instead, he used that time to get closer to Emit. 😏 And, well… we all know how that turned out.

BUT! I don’t think this affair is going anywhere because… Jett actually finds Emit very unattractive. 😂 Meanwhile, his wife thinks Emit is hot. Oh, the irony!

Stay tuned for more drama! 🎭💙

💙🎭Not So Berry: Base Game Edition - Generation 10 (Blue)🎭💙 Part 2

Hi Simmers! 💙 Aniyah is not happy about her newly adopted siblings. She was used to being the only child, and now—bam—two new kids in the house. Meanwhile, her new siblings are thrilled to be part of such a big family.

While playing, I suddenly noticed something weird—Caiden was standing while peeing. Uh…? Checked CAS and… oops. Turns out Caiden is actually a boy, not a girl. My bad! Time to fix that in the family tree. 😂

Meanwhile, Dobroslava got an invite from Gulliver to join Club Cosplay. I have no idea what this club actually does because it has zero assigned activities. But hey, Gulliver looks like a complete clown in that CC, so at least it's entertaining. 🤡

Oh, and about that time travel event—after a "satisfied woohoo" (ahem), Dobroslava randomly rolled a whim to flirt with Emit???! 👀 Excuse me, ma’am?! Then I remembered—Jett is actually supposed to have a secret affair in this generation… sooo, maybe we’ll spice things up. What if Jett’s secret affair is with Emit? 🤭 Oh, the drama!

Speaking of Dobroslava, her next whim? "Become a parent." As if three kids weren’t enough! 😅 But hey, since she’s been writing excellent-quality bedtime stories for children, maybe she’s destined to become a famous children's book author.

And guess what? Dobroslava and Jett are expecting another baby! 🎉💙 Let’s see where this chaos takes us next!
