Penny Pizzazz caused Scandal

(Year 234, Spring) We planned to wish everyone a brand New Year 234, but instead we got this serious report from Chestnut Ridge, that can not wait. Popular model and all around artist Penny Pizzazz (56) caursed drama at the Rusty Horse Shoe at New Appaloosa in Chesnut Ridge by seriously harming a fan.

It started with Penny arriving this popular water hole. She was in Chestnut Ridge for a business meeting next morning. Photographers where there, thanks Similius, because they also captured the drama to follow!

Penny Pizzazz celebrating 25 Years

(Year 229) Model and Actress Penny Pizzazz (50) celebrates that she has been working in showbiz for 25 years! She started out modeling in San Myshuno at 22, but her first real gig came 3 years later. Later she landed a few commercials and even got a minor role in the popular TV-series "Silly Wives". Recently she surprised everyone at the set at Plumbob Studios during a take for the mentionewd series. Penny pulled out a guitar and sang a short song composed by herself.

Colleagues admitted that Penny might do better in modeling and acting than as a singer, but the stunt still shows that Penny holds many talents.

I love taking photos of my sims to decorate their wall. Sometimes they create several copies, and then visit relatives to gift them one. Show me the Granny who would not appreciate a portrait of her grandchild?

But this post is all about the  photo backdrops. In the past I created 3 new versions of TS4 Photo Studio (GTW pack), with each their theme: In-game destinations, noble backgrounds and Victorian paintings. My top society often make use of the two latter. But most of my sims are actually quite regular, they need backdrops that are less complex.

Misc pictures #1

 (Year 227) I'm out of town for the Summer, meaning I'm off my game. When I get back home the Cottage Living will just have released, and I'm looking forward to catching up with everything.

Meanwhile I will share some screenies gathered over the last months. I'll keep the text at minimum :)

This is Chaos Kessler (33), a hopeful Actor residing with his father, Psychologist Salvador Kessler (81, known from my As Sims Go By video series). Chaos' twin sister Micka is currently in University. Chaos had to practice a romance scene, and invited a co-actor over. Typically, his old dad walked in on them, and I have no idea what he might be thinking...

Penny Pizzazz - Aiming for Global Fame?

(Year 225) There's been a lot of upper crest nobility posts lately, so how about some celebrities instead? The next Reg12 NEWS with a celebrity section is weeks away, but actresses and musicians work hard on their careers - constantly.

You definitely recognize the blond actress below, but how about the one wearing a yellow dress? Well, it's Penny Pizzazz, in my region she was among the first sims to embrace an acting career.

Back then Penny had already done some modelling, and I don't really think she was ambitious, beyond getting her 6 stories tall outdoor commercial poster displayed to all San Myshuno citizens forever. That billboard is from her modelling, though. As an Actress she is more humble. She is now living with the famous Painting Artist Vince Remeréz, and their toddler daughter, Sandra.

Unexpected Family News

Well, not totally unexpected, but still made me whisper a "oh no!".

I have a routine for whether my couples can and should try for a baby. When they do, I shortly will exit their house to move on to the next on my rotation list. So, I ever check whether they actually got pregnant. You know, there is a certain chance they did not.

I also use the household manager tool quite often when making my videos. And that might be how I discover that some baby was born.

Today I suddenly noticed that Antoinette Morck (you might have seen her as one of the Reg12 NEWS hosts?) and Salim Benali were blessed with their 2nd set of twins! :o They reside a very tiny apartment in San Myshuno, and there's absolutely no room for 2 more kids! I wonder if they will need to move to Oasis springs, where Antoinette grew up? They have little money, so they will need to go for something small, though...

On another not, also actress Penny Pizzazz and painter Vince Remeréz are pregnant! It's probably their 5th attempt, so I'm quite happy for them. Besides they are rich and even have a spacious bedrom waiting for the newborn baby.

Get Famous: Notable Newcomer

I just grabbed the Get Famous EP on sale, waiting this long because I know I will not play celebrities. I prefer normal sim lives, or even community matters. But, isn't a fame system part of a community? I don't know yet if the system will work well outside the sims' Hollywood, but i will find out.

While I will mostly focus on my regular sims where of some might deserve a little fame - like painters, musicians, writers, critics, politicians and a few with more custom types of careers. For now I'm just taking a round allowing a few residents build their 1st star.

There is one resident who it feels natural to give a shot for the Plumbob Studios of Del Sol Valey; namely Penny Pizzazz. In my game Penny has been modeling for at least 10 years, so I don't mind her trying out some acting as well.

I want her to gain minimum 3 fame stars in the long run.
