SUMMER SPLASH FESTIVAL
If you’ve been missing the seasonal festivals we had in The Sims 3, fret no more cuz I got you. I’ve taken things into my own hands by creating fairgrounds for every season in The Sims 4.
This summer festival has a water park (NO Growing Together splash pad needed), private grotto pool, & ice cream stand to cool off at. There's a bar & juice fizzing stations for outdoor drinking with your pals. A lush garden wedding venue in a converted barn, farmers market, & so much more.
So if you’re refusing to let go of summer yet, then this lot will help you squeeze in as much summertime fun as possible before the cold weather turns us all into prisoners in our own homes.
Lot Type: Park
64 x 64
$224,500

Levi: What do you want?
[Robin shrugged, peering around Levi’s head]
Robin: Nothing in particular-.. who’s that, your sister?
Levi: Yeah.
Robin: Wanna ditch her n’ hang out?
Levi: With you?
Robin: Uh-huh-.. Jacob and Jude too, his dad’s looking at a house for sale over there.
[Levi glanced over his shoulder, grimacing at the prospect of being stuck with Tiffany and her annoying friends]
Levi: Fine, whatever.
Levi: You know you forgot your shoes, right?
Robin: Shoes are overrated-.. I like to feel stuff on my feet.
Levi: [scoffs] Weirdo.
…
Levi: It’s tiny.
Jacob: Houses are expensive though, right?
Robin: Uh-huh, everything is.
Levi: How much do you think this one’s worth?
Jacob: Uh-.. ten thousand?
Robin: [laughs] Try that times twenty.
Jude: Woah.
Jacob: How big is your house if this one’s so small then? Bigger than Robin’s?
Levi: How should I know?!
Robin: It’s kinda big.
Levi: If you say so-.. our last house was massive, but we had to move.
Jude: Why?
Levi: None of your business!
Jude: Alright, geez.
[Jacob rolled his eyes, wondering why Robin had even gone to the trouble of bringing Levi over]
…
Jude: Did you get it?!
Ivan: It ain’t that quick, bud! We’ll see.
Oscar: How you doing, Levi?
Levi: Uh, yeah.. I’m great!
Robin: Can he come over?
Levi: Wai-…
Oscar: Sure.
Robin: You wouldn’t rather be stuck with your sister all day, would you?
[Levi squinted at Robin and his irksome brazenness, but he merely gazed back at him calmly-.. he knew he wasn’t wrong]
Jacob: He better not make a habit of inviting Levi to hang out with us all summer.
Jude: Maybe he just feels bad for him. He did almost die.
Jacob: Only almost.

The Landgraab Foundation is known for being the jack of all trades when it comes down to the all mighty simoleon. Perhaps this is the opportunity for Benji to find his place with the rest of the Briar's.

AN: Annnd we're back! with mods updated, I'm back to updating my stories. Still working on COTF but I have another MM update that I will post tonight! :)
Ami: I never thought I’d say it, but I’m dying to wean Saroi. She must think my nips are made of rubber.
Benji: Looks like everyone had fun at Batuu. The whole family was there.. wow. The kids got so big.
Ami: You do know we were invited, right?
Benji: No, I know... I guess it’s easier to avoid family functions when I’m busy with work.
Ami: And why’s that?
Benji: It’s the dynamic. I was too young to hang out with Mel, Lyric and Sonny and too old to relate to the twins, Amir and Olive..doesn’t help I’m an only child either-
Ami: You want to know what your biggest selling point was for me when we met?
Benji: My good looks? My great work ethics?
Ami: Your big family. I’ve always wanted siblings and cousins, and knowing you had all that and seeing how crazy they were about you made me realize how loved you are.
Ami: Look, I love the dedication you put into your business but I wouldn’t mind seeing you enjoy life outside your office more. Why do you think I stepped down? I can do things like take Saori to her appointments or visit Finn’s class. So our kids wouldn’t be raised by a-
Benji: Servo?
Ami: [laughs] Yes. No offense.
Benji: Speaking of, the Landgraab Foundation called again looking to meet about the merger.
Ami: Are you considering it?
Benji: It’ll expand our customer base to the states, not to mention it’ll save cost by outsourcing material. And.. it’ll take a lot more off my plate. I can spend more time with our family. The kids can meet everyone sooner. I can spend more time with you.
Ami: Then I think you’re making a great call.
Benji: Then it’s settled.
Ami: Should I check on Finn? I have a feeling he’s been sneaking down into the kitchen.
Benji: [yawns] Nah. He’s probably passed out by now.
Ami: [sighs] I love you, Ben.
Benji: I love you too.
Finn’s Inner Monologue: Did you know the best way to get away with a late night snack is to hide the cookie jar in your baby sister’s crib? Works every time!

That moment you find out the girl you’ve been seeing is famous - for being a 130-year-old missing persons case with an entire "theories and speculation" section on Wikipedia.

Yes, I made Lilith a Wikipedia page because I'm just that extra. If you want to read it (I threw in some new information), you can find the whole thing following the transcript below the cut.
Real-time footage of Helena researching:
[Snippets of Caleb's letter echo in Helena's mind] I will put it to you bluntly: Lilith and I have been vampires for some 100 years. Faced with your otherwise certain demise, I chose to make you one too. You may not believe me. It will feel like a bad flu for a day or two; then it will feel like the heat of 1000 fires blazing inside. I very well knew it would turn you into a monster against your will.
Helena, thinking: It's just a hangover, Helena. It's just a hangover. Yeah, that crazy bitch bit you, and her crazy brother wrote a dumb letter to scare the shit out of you. But vampires aren't real.
Thank god Ulrike left all these fucking tarps. This sunlight is murder on my eyes.
Several internet rabbitholes later... [Helena scanning Wikipedia page on computer screen] Last seen alive March 16, 1918... disappeared under mysterious circumstances... seemed to fall ill... Tangled Vines... immortal vampires... This can't actually be her. It's impossible...
Lilith Violetta Vatore (December 2, 1891 – last seen alive March 16, 1918) was an heiress and socialite who disappeared under mysterious circumstances at the age of 26 along with her brother, Caleb Vatore, 24. Before vanishing, the siblings were poised to jointly inherit the Vatore fortune, home, and 100-year-old vineyard and winery. This was considered unusual for the period, as family property, wealth, and business interests were often only passed to women in the complete absence of a male inheritor.
Despite societal expectations, Vatore reportedly had little interest in courting or eventually marrying. She was said to have rebuffed dozens of engagement offers, much to her parents' dismay. However, she rarely turned down an invitation to a ball, and her baldly flirtatious escapades were frequently reported on in society columns. One such columnist wrote that she "bandied about in a bold and bawdy manner most unbecoming of a respectable lady, laughing uproariously, drinking excessively, and making coy conversation with every handsome man in sight." Some historians suggest based on a series of candid letters from Vatore to fellow socialite and confidante Prudence Crumplebottom, donated to the University of Britechester by Crumplebottom's daughters, that she may have preferred the company of women in private.
The Vatore siblings were said to be so close that one was rarely seen without the other. The society columns were not kind to Caleb Vatore, calling him a "poor chap" who seemed "nothing more than a playmate, servant, or lapdop, his role at any given moment wholly dependent upon his dear sister's whims." Little is known about his personal life.
In the days preceding the siblings' disappearance, Vatore seemed to fall ill. She sequestered herself to her bedroom, allowing no one but her brother to enter. On the morning of March 16, a maid found Caleb's chambers undisturbed, and Vatore's locked bedroom door was forced open, whereupon she was discovered to have absconded in the night, along with her brother and her finest jewels.
Various court battles ensued over the fate of the Vatore estate, and interest in the siblings' disappearance was briefly renewed when their alleged children materialized in the mid-1950s. However, the entire ordeal all but disappeared from public consciousness until the recent publication of Tangled Vines: A Complete Investigation of the Vatore Disappearances by journalist Salim Benali. Benali posits that the Vatores are immortal vampires who still live today, and though some scholars find elements of his research intriguing, others dismiss his argument as an elaborate, attention-seeking hoax.
