Detesters - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Arriving Galucca

The Detesters just arrived town of Galucca* by bus! Yay! The purple route, to be exact.

Pauline: Argh, I wouldn't have survived one single minute longer on that bus!

Hector: Well, we had a 3 hours break only 1 hour ago... but yes, it was a long trip. Easpecially to Sabrina and Sally. Even Sabby is exhausted.

Pauline: It looks like a gas station over there... I'll ask them where we shall go from here!

Gloomville Diaries - gen 1 - ch 29: A Glee next door?

Ochana visited the Crumpleton household again, but was told to leave. And she organized some information on the corkboards in the secret office. But then what?

Ochana finally got the new kitchen floor that she wanted for so long. She thought the upgrade from linoleum to tiles made a great impact.

Cleaning the kitchen was much more fun with a new floor!

Then she sat down to read a little. She wished there was a book telling everything about Gloomville's past. Instead she read about timber industries of the past, quite a boring subject, but maybe she would find something of interest?

TS4 - Get to Work - New hairstyles!

There was recently released a new promotion trailer for the Medicine career, and it also included images of new hairstyles - 9 male and 9 female. Which one is your new favourite?

There might be more new hairstyles in the actual expansion pack that is released April 2015.

Hope Terra - se 1 - ch 4: Growing up

Hope realizes that her beloved Sailor, Rasmus, is gone! The boat is found empty, and there's no sign of her husband.

Life goes on at Hope Terra, the tiny island surrounded by a few rocks and the ocean. Raising four kids alone is hard enough, if it isn't also Winter, and their's out of food most of the time. While the water is this freezing cold, Hope thinks diving underwater would be too risky. After all, she is now half human.

One day she tells the kids about their granddad, the merman Aquator Merez. Aquid is the oldest, wearing a yellow t-shirt. Davitor is the other one, both with their mother's hair colour. The two girls are still toddlers, too young to understand it all.

Detesters - 17 - bonus - On the bus

Pauline, Hector, Sally and Sabina are leaving Twinbroke town, heading for Galucca!* Unfortunately for Pauline, they are traveling cheap - by bus...

Hector: Such a wonderful landscape we get to see!

Pauline: Hmfp... these seats are painful, I'm sure that they forgot to test them!

Hector: In a few hours we'll reach Gulacca... uhm, Galucca. It will be wonderful!

Gloomville Diaries - gen 1 - ch 28: Oaksdale family tree

Ochana had to focus more on the Secret Mission. So many questions were still not answered. Today she had great plans!

She did not normally stand by the front door wishing each of the for children a nice day at school. Most mornings the house would be a pure chaos, and they would be gone before she noticed. But today she was eager to get on with her investigations. She planned a trip to Upperton hood!

- Have a lovely day at school, Paula! she greeted.
- Huh? How would that be possible? You know my teacher doesn't like me!

Hope Terra - se 1 - ch 3: Family life

Hope and Rasmus get their first child! And there are many more to come...

Hope gives birth to a son, and they gives him the name Aquid. He has got orange scales on his legs, so they assume he will be a pretty good swimmer when he grows up!

Home life is different with a baby in the house. Rasmus will need to improve the house once more. There is only one bedroom, but maybe they can add some extra room upstairs?

Hope keeps looking for seeds. She prepares a small plot of soil, but there is no seed to find anywhere! If only her dear father, merman Aquator Merez could bring them at least a fruit of some kind? He still leaves treasures on the beach almost every night.

The Sims 4 Get to Work announced!

The very first The Sims 4 EP was announced few days ago, and "Get to Work" will be released April 2015! That's only 8 weeks ahead!

I must be honest and say that The Sims 4 never grabbed me as much as The Sims 3 did. It's not just about the graphics, it's more that I miss so much from the previous series, and I find it harder to get attached to my sims. But with the Get to Work EP, I think this will change!

Medicine will include operations and delivering babies!

Get to Work will bring something that The Sims 3 never had, a through system for running public businesses. The Sims 2 Open For Business was probably my all time favourite aside of the weather and season EPs. This kind of challenges feels less as a preprogrammed challenge, they are more about who your sim is, what business should he or she run? If you choose a retail store, you can still customize it, say you want to only sell lamps. Designing the store, managing staff, talk up your customers etc, is adding lots of fun that don't feel repetitive because your next sim can simply run a different business!

Destesters - 16 - The farewell

Here's one more update from the life of my testsims, the Detesters...

They have been testing my cc for quite a while, and from testing all functions of some imported bed, they also became parents - to twins! They really give it all, don't they, even if Pauline felt a bit tricked into it by Hector. Sally and Sabina are still toddlers, and now the family seems to be switching homes...

Pauline: That testhouse... we'll need to know more! I'd appreciate to be out before Annie and her half blind hubby take over this house!

Hector: Twinbrook Imports Inc. might have sent us more info by now, they are so nice!

Pauline: I still think this might be a setup!
