Summer, Year 02

As Summer rolled around, we made our way to the Pinnacles of Del Sol Valley, specifically to the residence of the Zest-Abrams household. This modern 3 bedroom mansion houses 3 people and their trusty butler.

Johnny Zest (57) is a famous comedian and the chief writer of a popular sitcom named The Urbz. Vasyl Abrams (56) is his husband of over 20 years, a famous actor and the director & star of The Urbz. Their sitcom is one of the highest rated shows in the comedy genre produced by Del Sol Film Industry and it has all been possible thanks to these two’s years of hard work and incredible passion to deliver their best work.

The third and cutest member of the household is Ava Zest-Abrams (6). Johnny and Vasyl adopted her 6 years ago, right before moving into this mansion. Ava is not in contact with her birth parents, but these two men, her two dads, have given her every happiness she could ever ask for.

Ava started going to the local grade school this Spring. Johnny and Vasyl decided to send her in a little later because they did not want to put too much pressure on her. But she is almost catching up with kids of her age already. However, with only 3 months of school before Summer break, Ava has failed to make any friends to hang out this summer with. So her dads signed her up for a Leadership summer camp. She has not been particularly enjoying it, but well, it is almost over now.

Johnny, our dear old Johnny, seems to be defying his age and still going strong with bringing in the laughs. He has also found a passion for sports in his later age. He installed a basketball court in their backyard and every week, he invites over Richard and Braylon, children of his best friend Allyssa, to spend an afternoon at the mansion playing basketball and ping pong and hanging out.

Are you drowning in all the character references yet? There is another form of drowning happening in this household. The fear of drowning. Their mansion came with a pool on the back deck and Johnny has found the courage to get his feet wet only once. He found it unbearably difficult to keep his head afloat in the pool and ever since he has been keeping a distance from that thing.

But recently, the fear has been acting up for some reason. Johnny has been having persistent nightmares of drowning in the pool water and dying. He cannot get over it. Vasyl suggested he get a few swimming lessons so he starts feeling confident, but Johnny just cannot bring himself to go near water! He has been considering therapy. But being a celebrity of his multitude, everything he does is news. Going into therapy, therefore, equals to HUGE news.

People will gossip, point fingers, try to figure out what’s going on. And the first fingers will inevitably be raised on his marital relationship. He does not want to bombard Vasyl with the media's questions about his relationship because Johnny could not bring himself close to a 4 feet deep water body!

Vasyl, on the other hand, has been having a regular summer - filled with filming and work. One thing that happened to him as ‘new’ this season is his friendship with Allyssa - Johnny’s best friend whom I mentioned before. Johnny and Allyssa have maintained their unbreakable friendship over the years and Vasyl always wanted an opening to get to know her better.

This year, he found it when he realized that novels are not that different from dramatic tv serieses. His newfound love of reading has given him an opportunity to bond with Allyssa, who is a well-known nonfiction writer. Of course, Vasyl does not read nonfiction. He reads sappy romantic dramas and the occasional thriller novels. But with the amount of books Allyssa has read in her life, they always find a common book or author to discuss. In fact, Vasyl has been inviting Allyssa for coffee way too often to discuss literature!

However, Vasyl’s regular mundane life was disrupted by the doorbell one Saturday morning! He looked through the peephole to find a familiar face - a 24 year old man with mint-colored hair, or at least it’s supposed to be mint.

“Micah! What are you doing here?” exclaimed Vasyl while holding the door open.

“Uncle…” that’s all Micah could master before breaking into tears.

Vasyl was quick to hold his nephew into embrace. He has always loved and cared for this child like his own and today was no different. A look of glum shaded Vasyl’s face. “It’s okay, my boy! You are with me now. Everything will be fine. Why don’t you tell me what happened?” “Dad..dad passed away last night..” Micah took a deep breath after saying this to gather himself. Then continued, “I am sorry I didn’t call to let you know. I didn’t know what to do. The medical people were asking me to hold a funeral? How can I hold a funeral? How can my father be gone, uncle? I have no one to go to.. All I could think about is seeing you.. So, I took the first bus this morning and came here, Uncle Vasyl, I don’t know what I am gonna do…”

“You have done the right thing, Micah. Nobody blames you. I will take care of the funeral and everything else. You just try to take care of yourself. Have you had any breakfast?”

Vasyl talked to his nephew in a calming tone while walking him into the house. Micah is his only elder brother’s only child. Vasyl knew his brother was on death bed. But they were never close enough for Vasyl to go and visit him in the countryside. Maybe he would..someday. But that’s not going to happen anymore.

Micah, on the other hand, is very dear to his only uncle. Unable to have a child of his own, Vasyl always loved and adored Micah like an offspring of himself. Right now, all he can think about is taking care of Micah. He knew his brother had not left anything to his son’s name. They didn’t even have a house, they lived in a rented apartment the size of a storage room. Micah got through college thanks to his own scholarship money. But now he is fresh out of college, with no job. No money. No place to live. And Vasyl as his only guardian. Vasyl had to take care of this kid.

Over the next few days, Vasyl and Johnny put their heads together to figure out how to help Micah. The funeral was done. Micah’s CV and papers were sent to potential employers. And their realtor was sent on a hunt for affordable one bedroom houses nearby. Meanwhile, Micah became a part of the Zest-Abrams’ mundane lives.

He would spend a lot of time with Ava. She is the sister he never got to have, after all. They would play video games together and Micah would help her with homework. He even taught her to use sim.tv on their computer and recommended some amazing kids’ shows on there. He also joined Johnny’s basketball group along with Richard and Braylon. They have been getting along well-ish too. All in all, Micah finally felt like finding his own place, his own people. Unlike his previous life where his whole life was his father.

Before Fall could roll around, Micah got a job offer as a Lab Tech in Oasis Labs. The payment was not good and he would not be starting before Fall, but it is something on a very short notice and Micah welcomed it with excitement. The house hunt, unfortunately, was not going well. The realtor has not been able to find any house in Oasis within their budget range. As a last resort, they decided to convert the downstairs skill room into a bedroom for Micah until he could find a place to stay.

Which, lucky for Micah, did not happen. He actually proved himself very resourceful and found a listing of one part of a duplex for rent in Oasis Springs. A girl the same age as Micah was living on the other side of the duplex and she wanted someone to share the cost. 

So Vasyl took care of the purchase. Micah Abrams and Hannah Hudson moved into a duplex property in Oasis Springs on the first of Fall. 

Where will this settlement lead? Will Micah be able to stand on his own ground? What does life have in store for him and Hannah? We will find out soon!

How to Hide Plumbob and Keep Other Headline Effects

Do you want to hide the plumbob in your game but still want to see other headline effects like a sim’s name and age? Here is how without needing to install a mod! This is a simple edit to the Default.ini file that is very easy to do. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being a piece of cake and 10 being way too tedious, I give it a 3. This file resets every time the game updates, so you’ll have to do this over and over. I found it laborious at first, but after 4 years it’s second nature now. 

Onto the good stuff!

NOTE: It’s always a good idea to save a copy of a game file before you make changes just in case something happens and you need to revert to the default settings. Some suggest saving a copy as something like “defaultoriginal” in a DIFFERENT location. But, it’s your game. Do what you wanna do. (I hope somebody somewhere out there sang that lol)

1. Find the Default.ini in the Bin folder.

On Windows, the location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin. I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember the path on a Mac even though I played 2 years on one.

2. Open the file. You will make changes in the [Plumbob] section.

Refer to the picture below to make the following changes. My file is already edited, so you won’t see the original values, but change everything underlined in red to 0.00.

The ones in blue control the clear icon when sims are in club meetings or groups. If you want to hide those as well, change everything underlined in blue to 0.00.

3. Save

If you did not do the whole save as thing, just save the file and close. If you did, be sure to save as Default.ini or the game will not be able to read it.

4. Enjoy your plumbobless life.

Dassit! That’s all you have to do.

Come on Bray, my dear, focus on the right person now.

MONDAY - HOUSEHOLD 3: BEATRIX + BEXLEY + BRAYLON + CANDICE + GLORIA

look, things were going alright with gloria until xavier decided to check his phone...😣

i think he lost money in one of those shady investments of his... xavier's brother, paris, appeared right when xavier was having an emotional breakdown, but left quickly 😆

xavier's attempt to 'recover' the dating vibe was... disastrous!! badly played, xavier... 😳😫

back at home, gloria decided she needed a bit of yoga 🧘‍♂️ and xavier shared his misfortunes with klara, he's (still) only friend in the challenge. and klara did talk to gloria about it with good results... it seems 😉

ooooohhh! someone's got a new crush 👀❤️!

💜💜🦈 Go send this to ten of the people who make you happy or to someone you think needs cheering up. If you get some back, even better! And have a lovely day 🦈💜💜

The Landgraabs

Spring 4th, Year 02

Charlotte’s day starts bright and early, earlier than Malcolm. Although they have both been suffering from the seasonal flu, it doesn’t stop her from freshening up, eating her breakfast smoothie bowl and going on a run around the property. She had a good run today and as soon as it was over, she got a call from her agent at the AI Staffing Agency.

“Hello Mrs. Landgraab, hope you are having a wonderful morning. This is Alana from the AI Staffing Agency. I called to check if you’d like to audition for the Urbz? They are looking for a young actress to play the protagonist’s niece.”

“Did you say The Urbz? Can you really get me an audition for The Urbz?”

“Of course, Mrs. Landgraab. You are a talented and promising actress. And not to mention that Mr. Landgraab is one of our most important stakeholders. We want the best roles to go to you.”

“Umm.. okay? When’s the audition?”

“It’s noon on Spring 5. And the role is a comedic one, so please brush up on your comedy skills. We will send you a book to read and a few past recordings of the show along with the audition details. We will make sure your audition is prioritized and you don’t need to sit around waiting with other aspirants.”

“Thank you so much, Alana. Don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“Without me, you’d be assigned to an equally competent and convincing AI Staffing Agent, Ms. Landgraab. Have a good day!”

The line cuts off and leaves Charlotte wondering if Alana is even a real person. She sure does sound like one. But why has she never met her in person?

However, it does not matter as long as Charlotte’s business is handled well…

Hi! For the ask game, please: 14, 15 and 20! Thanks.

Hi Ana! Thanks for the asks. It's always very nice to see you around 💖💖

14. My favorite color is Blue. Specifically the deeper shades like royal blue or cobalt blue.

15. My favorite season is Spring. I love when the weather starts to warm up. And I love all the flowers that bloom in that season 😍

20. Right now, what I miss is having a structure and routine. I am starting my MBA this month and my classes start on the 22nd. Ngl, I am already bored of the break and can't wait to get back to having regular classes and a purpose in life 🙈

The Landgraabs

Charlotte, however, was too stressed and sad to sleep. She, like her husband, drew herself a bath to relax in. The silence and serenity of the bubbles swelled her with emotions. She didn't know how to feel anymore. Malcolm was sometimes so nice and he took good care of her. He gave her everything she asked for. But then again, he was just so mean sometimes.

And the baby..she was going to be a mother. And yet she didn’t feel any kind of attachment to the baby growing inside her. Only if Malcolm wasn’t so overjoyed to have this baby, she would totally have gotten rid of it.

Was her situation ever going to improve? How was she going to deal with the upcoming 8 months? Only time will tell!

“Babe, happy Love Day!”

“Wow, thanks Malcolm. I… I am sorry I didn’t have time for you today.”

“That’s okay. Maybe we can go on a date this weekend? When’s your shoot?”

“How did you know that I passed the audition?”

Malcolm smiled silently at the question and decided to go to bed. His shoulder and finger both were not feeling very well.

Charlotte, on the other hand, had good news. She actually got the part. However, she wasn’t happy. Her agent told her that she needs to work on her acting skills. A clear indication that she was selected only because of her reputation, not her skills. Charlotte just..can’t deal with these insults anymore.

She made her way upstairs and had a good cry under the covers before Malcolm came around looking for her.

Lol thanks for the asks!!

29. Does it take a long time for you to make a decision?

I'd say I take 'average' time to make decisions..not too long, not too short. Unless its purchasing something. i m an absolute underbuyer and take forever to make any purchase.

33. Do you sleep with your door open or closed?

Closed. And I sleep in complete darkness too. I m a light sleeper and the slightest disruption would wake me up.
