Sharing The Ups And Downs Of Your Sims In Stories And Legacies Is Hard Work. Sometimes It Feels As Though

❤Sharing the ups and downs of your sims in stories and legacies is hard work. Sometimes it feels as though all that effort is for nothing, but I wanted to tell you I noticed. Thank you for sharing and entertaining us with all the blood, sweat, and tears you put into every post. Your work is amazing and valued. Send some love to other simmers that have entertained you with their stories and legacies so that they might know they are appreciated.❤

Thank you, friend!

I’ve seen a few posts about Tumblr eating asks lately.  I tested it by sending some to myself and, sure enough, they didn’t show up.  If you have sent me an ask recently, please let me know.  I feel like I don’t get a lot of asks anyways, but I’d hate for someone to send something and have it get eaten before I even knew about it...

Malcolm is my favorite.  Jodie was spying on him with her telescope (which is a super powerful one, since it can see him all the way in Downtown) and he came over to yell at her.  He made his angry face...but became best friends with her at the same time.  He’s just a marshmallow. :)

hey! are you still doing writing prompts?

Hey Anon! Yes, I absolutely am still doing writing prompts. I haven’t had any for a long while, though. I would love to do some more, though. (Maybe it’ll get me off my butt and back to my sims!) If you do send some, please include character names and the actual prompt (like “What the heck is that?”) and not just a number. I will look around for my lists of prompts to repost, but right now I don’t remember any of them.I love writing and am trying to get back to it more often, so please, send me writing prompts. 😁💕💕💕

Sorry this didn’t go up with the end of the round.  I had it in drafts and forgot to finish it!  I hope you all enjoyed the Ramirez round.  I certainly did.  Look below the cut for a few background details and my thoughts on what happened.  

The Ramirezes are generally an easy family to play, especially after the chaos of the Tinker house. We only managed two of the three challenges this time, though, because I failed to throw a roof raising party for Tessa. (Whoops!) On the bright side, Checo did meet the extra challenge of getting fit again, and we did have baby Carmen, so I think that makes up for it. 

 I love how Tessa grew up, and I love her homework face. She really is a gorgeous sim. I’m already matchmaking Tess and Justin Kim. He is going to grow up when I get to his family this round, and I think the two of them would be good together. They both love their dogs. I can see them with a dog training business maybe. We’ll see what happens with attractions and aspirations and such, I guess. 

I really don’t know why Checo couldn’t earn a gold fishing badge. I tried to look up how long it takes (or how many fish, or whatever requirements there might be) but couldn’t find any info. It could be a mod conflict, or some other game glitch. I’m not terribly worried. I just kind of wish I had used all the time he spent fishing to do something else. Ah well. At least I have 47 pictures of him fishing in various locations. 

I feel like there’s always just a little story tucked into the Ramirez round. I liked writing the conversation between Checo and Lisa about her pregnancy. I want to do more with their friendship with the Tinkers next time around. Maybe a double date? Tessa could babysit. 🙂 

I’m eager to see baby Carmen grow up. I think she is going to be lovely, just like her sister. I’m also excited to see how Tessa really does as a big sister. 

 The Ramirezes are just a fun family to play. I love them a lot. Hopefully we will see them around town a lot for the rest of the round. In the meantime, the Larsons are up next, and I’m planning on adding something to their mini-challenge to make them a bit more...exciting. I haven’t started playing them yet, but I’ll let you know when I have posts queued up again.  In the meantime, thanks again for reading and for all the likes and comments.  See you soon!

Now that Tess is a bit older, she and Checo don’t just dance together adorably.  She’s officially old enough to participate in the town sport, pillow fights in inappropriate places.  Yay! (She still has amazing faces.)
