OK, here it is! (PB took FOREVER! I packed 3 boxes while I waited! Lol!)
Let's wrap up our rotation of Holley/Karima's place first:
Poor Job is being replaced in Karima's life because she just can't get over her (literally) lost love, the famous Danza DiAblo. She wanted to be fair to Job, since she just couldn't love anyone but Danza, so a good-bye was in order.
He did not take it well, causing Karima to whip out her famous "stink eye". (You may remember this from the Simsylvainia Challenge)
But, when she got back from breaking up with Job, She had a lovely surprise waiting for her back at the Farmhouse where she lives with Holley and Don Lothario, and their son, Donnie Jr.
"Danza! I thought I'd never see you again!"
"You almost didn't - I was deleted by Maxis, but RL Karima found a way to sneak me back in to Simsylvania."
"I'll hold onto you so tight, that evil Maxis will never make you disappear again!"
Once Danza untangled from Karima, he found her easel in the loft of the Barn, where she lives. He didn't stay long, though.
Holley and Don in a rare moment where they're not leaping into each others arms, flirting, kissing, caress, ...you get the picture. The absolute ONLY time they take a break is to dote on Donnie Jr. They both absolutely love him and spend all kinds of time with him.
They did of course notice the PDA going on behind them, and would of course top it as soon as Donnie went to bed.
"Let's go away together!"
"Let's go upstairs." Two "Lotharios" in one house. I hope I have fire insurance...
And we leave this lot with Holley sporting her first baby bump with baby # 2. They both have a want for a boy, but I'm kind of hoping for a girl to see who she looks like.
But we'll have to wait and see, because it's time to move on to another simself lot...
Next up, Sawyer, Puddin, and Anna!
We find Puddinroy searching the skies after work at the science lab. (this is one lot where all the sims have jobs!)
"Curse you, Sims 3! Where are the aliens!!! How can you have a legacy with no aliens!"
*Um, it's not really a legacy, it's just random pic spam to catch up with you guys after the challenge ended, and...
"Quiet! How will I hear the aliens?"
*Um, Ash, behind you! There's an...
"Fine! I'm going back inside! I'll never get an alien to land with you running your mouth!"
Meet Pollination Tech (how original, I know, but it was really, really late!) Polly for short.
"Hey, you haven't seen any aliens up here, have you?"
"Aliens? That's crazy! There's no such thing!"
(Polly and Puddin share the insane trait.)
"I'm actually a criminal!" And having the klepto trait, that comes in handy with a LTW of criminal mastermind!
Inside, I had some housemate re-arranging to do. The game moved in Hunter Cottoneye with the simselves, but I'd thought I had Sawyer's squeeze Sherman Bagley in there. He wasn't, so Hunter was kicked out, and Sherman was invited to come stay.
Sherman needed a few things. A new wardrobe, a long workout, and...
a job change. His LTW was to he head of forensics for the police, and here he was, stuck in the military. (His mom is a general or something, so we helped Sherman cut the cord.)
Sawyer was thrilled to have Sherman move in, and threw up the want to 1) go steady, and 2) propose marriage, almost instantly! They're together constantly, wheter at home,
Or when Sawyer plays for tips in the park for aspiration reward points!
Close up of fierce flamenco guitar playing face.
But poor Anna didn't get to do anything fun but sit and write a romance novel. Her LTW is Illustrious Author, so she needs to max writing and art. Her writing was level 6, so I thought it was time to move her over to the easel to break up the boredom.
But Sawyer can't help but jump in and try to show her up!
One more testament to the "Magic" treadmill...Meet the new Sherman!
Apparently, Sherman was happy with the transformation, because after this, he pretty much never got dressed. So his buddy wouldn't feel embarassed, Sawyer decided he would only go around in his underwear, too. Luckily, everyone got dressed when it was time for work!
But look what happens when Sherman comes home from his first day on the force! I thought I had a crappy metabolism!
Yeah, don't even make me tell you. You know what you need to do...
Polly needs some treadmill time, too, for a promotion. A criminal's gotta be in shape, right?
In the meantime, Ashley gets dolled up to go have lunch with Crissy!
"What are you looking at? You think I look fat in this dress, don't you?"
Pudd meets Crissy at the Bistro. I was glad to hear from Crissy, because I have no idea where she's living now! When the game broke up my simselves, Crissy must've moved in with someone else, cuz she was nowhere to be found.
Crissy explained she was with Jon now. The only Jon I know is the rock star, Jon Lesson, so I'll go there to look for her next. Way to go, Crissy! I was pretty worried about her after Buck Broke, well, broke her heart, but she sure showed him!
They also bumped into Sarie, who is living with Jessie and Pixx in a simself house. While Crissy was telling her story, Puddin changed into her swimsuit and went to go yell at the hedges. (see her in the background of Sarie's pic?)
Sarie had a good laugh before everyone went home.
The next morning, Puddin went to work, and acheived her LTW of becoming a creature cross breader! She's my second simself to reach their LTW, after myself. Yay, Pudd!
This was a great day in the house, because Sawyer, Sherman, and Polly all came home with promotions!
Anna commemorated the events with portraits all around!
And lastly, Val and Tina's house. Here's a sneak peek of some of the candidates for Tina's simfections!
Tina, on yet another run, meets a new neighbor. (notice Val and Logan dancing inside - they do that ALOT.)
"You're new here, aren't you?"
"Well, I wouldn't say 'new', but I'm not from around here, no."
"Your face rings a bell. Have I seen you somewhere before?"
"Look into my eyes. You don't know me."
"The name is Damon. Damon Salvatore." (Excuse Damon's un-likeness. He was kind of an after thought I made to toss into the ring for later.) Potential candidate #1.
"What're ya doing, Val?"
"I was told we have to take Tina on a world tour to find her a man! Woot! I always wanted to travel!"
First up was China, because it was Val's want to see it.
Val's LTW is to become a top atlete/Sim-fu expert. (I don't remember the name, but that's what it amounts to) Logan was happy to spend time with Val, so together, they honed their Sim-fu skillz.
Resulting in leaving China with Green belts!
Where was Tina while all this was going on?
Chatting up Zhan! He's just too cute, and very single! (I checked)
Potential candidate #2.
The group went home, having no adventures this trip. Next time, guys. We have a timetable here!
The next trip was to France, which was Logan's wish.
I was going to send them to the market first thing to meet some locals, but Tina found a new "friend right there at base camp!
She sat herself down to join Liang Yat Sen for some chess...
...and some chat.
"So the beds here, do you find them large? Like maybe large enough for two?"
"Smooth, Tina. Really smooth."
The beds downstairs were NOT large enough for two, but I hung with Liang to see if Tina popped up in his dreams. Nope. Just a Yeti. Amylu, can we borrow Freud for this one?
Meet Liang Yat Sen, potential candidate #3.
Finally, the group took off for the market.
Where Tina laid eyes on THIS guy, IMMEDIATELY throwing up wants to kiss him! So I figured I could at least introduce them, cuz I'm cool like that.
Tina barely spoke to the poor man; she just stood there, staring at him with a cute little smile on her face, and cute little lips in her want bar.
Meet Napoleon Depardi, potential candidate # 4. It should be noted that they already call each other, but have not had that first kiss yet.
She visited Gustave, who is the Relic merchant in my game. We've already seen plenty of him elsewhere, (BUT NOT RECENTLY. *coughNELLIE) so without further pics, Potential candidate # 5,
At the book store, she chatted up the book merchant, once Val and Logan had made their purchases.
She talked about art with Yves Bernard, potential candidiate # 6
But mostly, they did a lot of this:
Back at base camp:
Tina and Val played some chess, while
Logan read his Photography book. He has the Photog's eye trait, so I'm hoping for some good things, even though the only camera the shop had was the el-cheapo disposable.
As the crew rests up for a trip to Egypt to round out the candidate pool for Tina to narrow down, I'll leave you with some of Logan's pics.
And this is how he looks at Val when she isn't looking. How sweet is this?
Let's wrap up our rotation of Holley/Karima's place first:
Poor Job is being replaced in Karima's life because she just can't get over her (literally) lost love, the famous Danza DiAblo. She wanted to be fair to Job, since she just couldn't love anyone but Danza, so a good-bye was in order.
