Sparks in the Desert (complete)

I love this story! And all the mention of the other Sunset Valley characters moving to Oasis Springs.

[Magz from Oz]

I've finally caught up with this story Marian.  I love seeing the Sunset Valley crowd in the Sims4 locale.  It seems a nice segue and the story is terrific too!   

[MarianT]

Thanks jillz and Magz!

Chapter 8 -- Life with Twins -- is now posted.

Really wanted to see Cyl0n3 in Oasis Springs. Did I miss him in one of the screenshots? Or is his more of an implied presence?

[MarianT]

Cycl0n3 moved out when Pauline moved in, but he's still in Oasis Springs. I haven't switched to his household because I'm afraid of losing the Goddards, or having the twins suddenly grow up. I do plan to come back to him later.

Poor Pauline! Your last picture has me thinking that the story could be called "The Perils of Pauline".

[MarianT]

Poor Pauline! Your last picture has me thinking that the story could be called "The Perils of Pauline".

Haha! I wish I'd thought of that.

I love that Hanks's becoming all responsible and grown up for his girls. It just seems so right. 

[Cheezey]

Good thing Hank was there to extinguish Pauline. I wonder if she has any idea about the roof project. 

[MarianT]

@Playalot, sometimes that happens in real life, too.
@Cheezey, she does know he's working on the rocket, but she doesn't know all that's involved.

Chapter 9 -- Birthdays -- has been posted.

[Playalot]

Oh lordy, as someone who always plays with aging off... an old Pauline and an old Hank is somewhat traumatizing 
lol @ the weight had drifted downward

[Cheezey]

Aww... poor old Hank and Pauline. Don't worry, guys, you're still young at heart!

[Ginj]

And here I've been thinking how good they look for elders.  A matter of perspective, I suppose.

[MarianT]

Thanks, Ginj! I think they look pretty good, too. Hank has retained some of his muscle tone, and Pauline's wrinkles give her face "character."

[KRae]

Compared to TS3, your elders look great!
