DD RR ~ Rounds 1 & 2

[amylu1988]

Wow, Darcy really is a different kind of physique when you compare him to his brother, I hadn't realised they could be so different in TS3.

Doug grew up really nicely, I still love his hair. ;D And it was still a nice party, despite poor Bebe being shouted at all afternoon. And yay for the expansions to the house, I wonder what the 'more' is?

[joandsarah]

Thanks everyone for reading. I've made a small start on the next part and seeing it's Saturday over here I should be able to play some more too. I've kind of used up nearly to where my pictures end now. Just wait until you see what the 'more' is.

[jillyson]

Can't wait to see it!

Did you see the post in the coffee house thread? Holley said it was OK to pass to her early.

[holleyberry]

Yes! It's okay to pass to me early
I'll try to come up with some creative way explain it.

[joandsarah]

How about something with that burglar woman? She threw me some plot at the start and then I didn't see her again, but I was thinking about trying to get her involved, even if it was just her talking to Deaglan. I don't know how to set scenes in TS3. I'll see if I can do something to end it with her in it.

I finally read this Jo, and as always I loved it. I think you did such an amazing job with Deaglan's narrative voice. I don't know if I can do first person

Yeah the brother really is scrawny. Feed him Jo, feed him. And then take him to the weights machine But Darcy's physique makes up for his bad-ass attitude. Still love him though.

I can't wait to see what else Deaglan did with his bonus. So how much was it exactly? He sure did a lot with it

[joandsarah]

Thanks Val. It's just a bit of my usual fluffy stuff interspersed with things any serious first person narative shouldn't contain! lol I don't care, so long as people get a laugh. It will be good to see everyone's different approaches.

Well wait no more! DD RR 1.8 Expect a few surprises.

I'll see how I go, but I will probably pass it along soon.

I loved it - although I was sad poor Douglas missed all the fun! Boy they really age up hard in S3! Dawn is a real beauty - a good cross between her mom and dad!
Graet job, Jo!

[Aussie Karima]

I loved it Jo,I am sad that the founder is now retired,but I guess it had to happen sometime!
~ What aging did you have it on?I have only played it on epic!
~ Dawn did turn out a beauty,& as Jill said a good mix of both her parents!
~ I guess it will not be long now,before you hand the reins over to Holley!

Great chapters. Dawn is a good mix between her parents. Aw at our founder for getting old. I can't wait to see who is heir/ess. A simbot-cool! I haven't even tried for a simbot yet. Keep up the good work.

[joandsarah]

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed.

What did you think of the surprise simbot? And did anyone else know they can die on other lots?!

Karima, legacy rules say you must play it on normal with nothing used to extend or shorten the life. We are already bending the rules by caking the babies early, although I only caked Dawn, the boys got to be babies until I got the birthday pop-up. We agreed people could cake the babies if they can't stand three whole days of them.

[jillyson]

I did mean to comment on that - that's the down side of reading at work - I always have to rush the comments!

It looked like the whole family was hating on the poor simbot! Didn't anyone like him at all? I did know that they can die on other lots - they're like a sim that way, I guess. I think water kills them - the fear of it is always in their thought bubbles. I liked that they got Dawn the bike for her birthday, and then her brother goes and nabs it at school!

I meant the death at Deaglan's party.

The simbot is well and alive. He arived best friends with Deaglan as he 'bought him' But the rest of the family constantly go "Yuck a simbot!"

[amylu1988]

Getting caught up now...

Aww, Deaglan had to grow old. He doesn't look too bad as an elder, but it's still strange to see him old. But yay for the simbot, I didn't know they flew around, and although he doesn't seem too popular with the rest of the family, I think he's a cool addition.

Dawn grew up really pretty, and I love the fact that she beats the bus to school on her bike! ;D

Wow, way to upstage Deaglan's party old woman; tsk, dying like that right in the middle of it, you just can't get the guests! Loved how you wrote the reaper though, it made the whole thing so comical.

[joandsarah]

Thanks Amylu

I've had a few pop-ups about so and so dying, but never expected it at a party! At least with TS2 they have the decency to die at home!

I have no way to make Deaglan look better apart from longer hair to hide his wrinkles so figured I may as well just run with it.

Brian the simbot is pretty cool. He spends most of his time going through scrap-which is also his diet, and inventing.
