Aria and Simonis are such lovebirds!
Really enjoyed their photoshoot with the boys--it's so amazing (and easily seen) how each son has inherited elements of each parent.
Simonis understands what a spare's mission is and has lived that life with compassion, devotion, and panache.

I loved the shot of Cara and Marcus, too.

I loved all the photoshoots and the last one! That lot has to be one of my favourites by Maxis and I've been using it for Lana's club hangout.

I'm sad to report that, while I loved Reid to pieces, I never managed to do a photoshoot with him.  I can't find a camera shot of him his whole life.  Got one of his mother naked in front of the rocketship but not him!  Clearly an oversight but not worth redoing the whole dynasty for.  (I'm kidding).

And yeah I thought it was fun to see the boys in that way.  They're very much twins in some ways and in others completely different people.

Which just means I'll get to see it with the lovely shine that your graphics card/tweaking seems to give all your photos!  And I probably shouldn't include the photo shoots but I enjoy them.  During the normal hectic days of life, I forgot to pause sometimes and let the Sims have their way when goals are still a concern.

Phew!  Twist upon twist.  You sure know how to keep a story going!  Love it.
Thank you Joria!  That means a lot.  And I still have at least one or two more in my sleeve ;)


I'm currently attempting to work on the homeless challenge which I may just give up on because it's not holding my interest! I meant to do an update yesterday but went to Ren Fest and didn't realize just how exhausted I would be.   Hopefully will have one coming very soon, if I can concentrate enough.

Artie - So.. wait.. This is what you wanted to do for your Dad?
Ash & Air - What's wrong with a Dance Party?
Artie - I see your Uncle Alex, Simonis.
Simonis - Did you invite him?
Artie - Nope.  Guess he just likes to party.


Scarlet - Hi.. I'm your granddaughter.
Alex - Uhh.. hi. 
Aria - This is not a joke. Uncle Alex meet Margaret's little girl, Scarlet.
Alex - Oh well then come here so I can give you a hug. Why Scarlet?
Aria - No one seems to know.


Alistair - Uhh.  Why are you looking at me like that?
Ericka - You have really beautiful eyes; did you know that?
Alistair - Of course, I chose the contacts myself. 
Ericka - You're so funny.
Alistair - Thanks..


Alistair - Here, look at this.  Do you know what this is?
Ericka - A Rose for me?
Alistair - Of course not.  This is my new weapon of choice.  I plan to thrash my enemies with the mighty power of floral arrangements!  Feel my thorns, darkspawn!  *fake attacks the air*
Ericka - *laughing* You're something else.


This is the problem with having a club outing with working out as an activity.  Rachel decided to go jogging instead of dancing.


Clifton - You might want to be careful, Ash.
Ash - He won't hit me.
Aria - He might.
Ash - He's going to get those socks first.
Amir - That one was really close, Markus.


The party switched venues and Dominic Fyres decided to join the ranks of ghosts that randomly followed the family around during their night of partying!


But eventually we decided to stop that and go home. 
Simonis - Ahh.  This is much much better.


Aria - What are you doing?
Simonis - I don't know what you mean.
Aria - The whole house is right there.
Simonis - That's the fun part.


Air - Shhhhhhh
Artie -  Excuse me.
Markus - Why can't we get through one movie?


Aria - I'm onto you.
Simonis - But I'm innocent.
Aria - Uh huh.
Simonis - Thank you.
Aria - For what?
Simonis - Everything. 


Scarlet - Are you sure you're my cousin?
Ash - Yes.. definitely.
Scarlet - But.. I've seen nothing saying you are.
Ash - We share a great grandparent.  We're definitely cousins.
Artie - *internal: What in the world are they arguing about?*


Aria - So.. is this what you wanted?
Simonis - Absolutely.  Know what would make it better?
Aria - What? 
Simonis - Let's go stargaze on the roof and then have another one of our dates.
Aria - Of course.


Aria - Simonis.. get back here.
Simonis - Hey! *waves* Addy!
Addy - Aww man.  Of all the people I wanted to beat the odds.
Aria - What's going on?


Aria - That doesn't look like a good place to nap, sweetie. 
Addy - He's not taking a nap, Ria.
Aria - Oh.. oh no.  He's glowing.


Addy - No no no. You take that muscly little body of yours and turn around to go to school!
Alistair - I just want to see what's going on.
Addy - Nope.  I don't want to let you. 


Reaper Bob - So let me see.. I have.. wait there are two souls?
Artie - We know.
Margaret - Wait how's that possible?
Aria - Long story.  Tell you later.
Reaper Bob - I'm only authorized for one.
Artie - The Boss knows.
Aria - Just take Aker?
Reaper Bob - No I'm here for Simonis.


Artie - Oh man.  Look at what you've done.
Bob - Huh?  Oh .. Sorry man.
Artie - You should be. 
Bob - It's the job you know.
Artie - Yeah well you can't just live the other soul hanging around either dude.
Bob - But it's not my job.
Artie - Don't make me pull rank.
Addy - Will you stop arguing in front of the girls?


Artie - Hey.. why am I the one in trouble?
Bob - Fine.. Fine.  I think I got it.
Margaret - Are you new at this?
Bob - Me?  Uh.. no.  Just.. never done a double before.


Artie - *lets out a low sigh and stops swaggering for a moment*
Addy - Oh.. this emotional system is for the birds.  To the basement.  Moodlet solver for you, buddy.


Addy - *pans back to the widow*  Ria are you going to come in?
Aria - *starts smacking Death upside the head* How could you be such an idiot while he's laying there on the ground? What are you trying to torture me?  What about my Dad?! I can't believe-- *becomes garbled in frustration*
Bob - Ow.  Ow.  Ow Ow.. Please Stop.  Ow.


Aria - *is still tirading.. but winning*


Aria - So.. how are things?

Simonis, you made it so easy for me to get attached to your sweetness. Rest in Peace.
I'm glad the twins diversified, colorwise.

Congrats to Grim for being voted employee of the month, rofl.

Cara - Are you okay, Aria?
Aria – Yeah... maybe.  Sure.  I'm glad you were able to come over Cara.
Cara - Anything for you dear. 
Aria - I'm sure you're thinking I'm not in my right mind at the moment but this is something that Simonis said he wanted so.  Will you move in with us? 
Cara - You're kidding right?
Aria - All your kids are grown up, you have to be around my and Simonis's age so do you want to?
Cara - Of course!


Reaper - Oh... so bringing in more fodder for Artie's plan huh?
Aria - You're not Bob.  What happened to Bob?
Reaper - No, I am not.  He left for his next job while I came to visit.
Cara - You don't scare me Grim.
Reaper - I'm not trying to scare you.  I just… pity you.
Cara - I pity you.  Thanks to this family I've lived a far better life than I ever would have normally.
Reaper - Yes but now you'll have to do nothing but skill for their pleasure.
Aria - Actually we're going to let her do what she wants with her kids and grandkids.  You can leave now.


Addy - Aww. What is it, honey?
Aria - I miss him. 
Addy - I know.  I see you got the widow moodlet.  Want to have a drink or go talk it away?
Aria - I think... I think I should just give myself a pep talk. 
Addy - Okay. 


Aria - *sighs*
Addy - Not working?
Aria - No, I.  If I get rid of the moodlet does that mean I didn't love him?
Addy - Of course not!  Just means you're choosing to remember the good times instead of be saddened by it.
Aria - Maybe.  Okay.  I'm going to read some books for everyone and get back to talking myself back into leaving this room.
Addy - Take your time.


DJ Cara everyone!  Maybe I'll be able to hire her later.


Addy - Karli is looking.. well isn't she?
Artie - Yes.  She moved into Clara's old place.  Let's hope that old bag isn't haunting the place.


And I don't remember this happening again but Rachel the light bulb is pregnant again too!  If Karli and Pale Rachel both have one child that will be a grand total of 7 children for Markus.


Belinda - So this is what watching a cult is like.
Addy - Yes and you have a child that will be assimilated.


Ash - Ahhh!
Jamie - Why are you screaming?
Alistair - I'm fine.  No need for all that.
Carson - I think I'm on fire.


Ash - *freaking out*
Alistair - Could you please stop?
Carson - Why are you arguing while I'm dying?!
Markus - I got you!
Lorena - Aww what a pretty fire.


And then right back to cult activities. We lost the third male but the others listen!


Rachebe - Hi Air, how you been?
Ericka - He's been great.  Um Alistair can we talk?
Alistair - *still annoyed with the fire* I’m good Rach.  Let me see what Ericka wants.
Rachebe - Okay.
Ericka - I want to get to know you. 
Rachebe - It's okay.  It's almost dawn anyway.  Maybe we should rally and send everyone home for school.
Alistair - Good thinking.  Let's do that instead Ericka.


Alistair - *tries out his new bow on the girl that followed him home from school*
Ericka - Whoa.
Alistair - Did that actually work?
Ericka - *very flirty* Hi.
Addy - Guess it works!
Alistair - Crud. Now what?
Addy - You'll figure it out.


Alistair - Check out these guns!
Ericka - Oh. Wow!
Addy - Not what I had in mind.


Alistair - *just goes for it*
Ericka - *surprised*
Addy - *giggling*


Ericka - Thanks for asking me out on a date, Air.
Alistair - No problem.  *internal:  You were here, I need to get it done. Why not!*


Ericka - You first handsome.
Alistair - No how about you first.
Ericka - No you first.
Addy - How about now through the fence?  What is it with you boys and through the fence?


Aria - Someone is on a date!
Addy - Calm down.
Aria - They're only little boys.
Addy - No, they are walking hormones.  Have you even asked Air what he's chosen for his aspiration?
Aria - *straightening* No.
Addy - Probably should!

Reid would surely approve of Cara spending her final days in The House!
Brilliant idea to have Cara learn to DJ in view of your discovery about hiring party staff.

Naughty Alistair, naughty!
Is the woohoodar a genetically-transmitted hidden trait? lol

Great job done, Alistair and what a date. He finally found his future Mrs. Grim. Wishing them good luck. And by the looks of it, Cara can become a great DJ. Good thinking of Aria by letting Cara in the house. And hope Aria overcome her sadness and become happy, soon.

Alistair using Alistair's DA line, that's was awesome. RIP Simonis, I hope he comes back to visit as a ghost (it's lovely that we have frequent visits from ghosts but taking over clubs is still so annoying). That poor kid burning and Air just walks away casually. Have you thought about changing club activities from time to time? I find it can be helpful if guests/members are doing things that I don't want them to at different locations.
