Since Patience, Calvin and Troy are all away at college, it's now just the three of us. It's almost eerily quiet and the house feels so empty.Friday, 26 February 2010
Download: Inge's Age Group Tweak, modified by me
Someone left a comment yesterday, asking if I would be willing to upload my age tweak. So for those of you who are a little nervous about SimPE, you can use my edit of Inge's file instead.
With this file, the age stages last as follows:
Baby - 3 days
Toddler - 4 days
Child - 8 days
Teen - 5 days
Adult - 39 days
Elder - 3-33 days
Please note that I have removed the aspiration bonus, which gives Sims extra long lifespans for aging up to elder in green, gold or platinum aspiration. Post-AL, I find that most Sims are perma-plat by the time they reach elderhood, whether they've reached their LTW or not, so having a bonus for that seemed pointless to me. With this tweak, the number of days your elder Sims will live is purely random.
Since I edited this file, I've made some changes to how my Sims age but seeing I do all my aging manually and keep very detailed notes about my Sims' aging, I didn't bother updating the file. If I ever do, I'll upload the new version.
Download it here! Please let me know if you have any problems with downloading it.

So far, Jessica has been so much easier to raise than Josh was. She's so easy-going and gentle, whereas Josh was more of the pull-Mummy's-hair-and-then-laugh-because-it's-so-funny model of toddler.Thursday, 25 February 2010

Anna is never quite sure what to do when people are blubbering. She could comfort them but it feels so insincere when she does it. Even when her own sister was going through her separation, she was always at a loss for what to say.Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Principal Betsy Carmody is 50, Kendal Draper is 45, Sarah Carmody is 16, Ethan Novak and Matilda Jacobson are both 15, Adrienne Novak is 14 and Rebecca Kirby and Tessa Novak are both 12.
With such a small enrolment this year, Betsy has been able take on a non-teaching role. Kendal's been teaching long enough now to handle all the students on her own and now Betsy's admin work won't have to take a back seat this year. Maybe she can finally get on top of everything!Sunday, 21 February 2010

I'd still like to look at adopting a third child and Betsy's completely against it. I know she's right and that a third would be a bad idea but there's still that little niggling feeling that I can't seem to ignore.Saturday, 20 February 2010

Declan is 5 months old now and I feel like Finn and I aren't ever going to get to sleep in again. When we were in the dorms, I used to love cuddling up in bed if we didn't have anywhere to go in the morning.Wednesday, 17 February 2010

With the arrival of the new freshmen at Novak Hall, there are reunions going on all over the place. Aaron is thrilled to see his best friend Maia again and after being stuck in the dorm with two girls who aren't very fond of her at all, Maia's not sure if she's ever been happier to see anyone else in her life!Monday, 15 February 2010

Sullivan's Top 20 - a Valentine's Day interlude
I'd been thinking of doing something like this for Valentine's Day for a couple of months now and Laura's post with Lakeside Heights' hottest couples made me actually get my butt in gear and do it, rather than forgetting about it until February 15th.
I have not kept truly consistent records of my chemistry scores in the past, so all of these couples, bar one, are currently together. I'm much more meticulous about noting chemistry scores now but my former slackitude means I don't have the scores for a lot of my former couples. All these couples are three-bolters - I didn't realise I had so many!
With no further ado, the Top 20 couples in Sullivan!

Twin watch, 2021! The time is drawing near for Evan and Ione Moretti - just a few months to go now! Thank goodness they've been able to find a house with enough bedrooms with what little money they have - no one will be sleeping in a hallway, at the very least! They're living right across the road from Evan's older brother Caleb and his family. Caleb and Cara have plenty of experience with twins themselves, so maybe they can offer Evan and Ione some pointers!Friday, 12 February 2010

Round 25: Summer 2021

Not long before Mum died, we made plans to drive up to the university and meet our new grandson. Victoria called Megan and specifically requested that she come. Megan really didn't take Victoria and Finn's news very well and they didn't speak much during her pregnancy.

Round 24: Summer 2021
Narrated by Caleb Moretti
Nick didn't manage to sell his car before he went off to college - I guess the neon green was a bit off-putting to people - but we finally managed to offload it and send the money to Nick. The buyer was also a student, so Nick might see his car driving around campus one day.

You say it's your birthday, Summer 2021
Evan and Ione have only been married for three months and already they're facing a move and the impending birth of twins! Yes, that's right - come winter, Evan and Ione will be the proud parents of two new babies!They had hoped to be able to squeeze a crib in somewhere in their tiny house, at least for a little while but a new house has now become a necessity. One crib might have fit in their current house but two definitely won't!
Round 25 ROS
Yay, I don't have to kill anyone! Two rounds in a row! I'll probably have to kill like 8 people next round now. :(
- Change of heart: change your turn-ons to match the Sim you are most attracted to, whether that's your spouse or not... Hopefully, this works out in favour of this Sim's partner!
- PMS - annoy the next walk by 3 times Depending on who the walk-by is, this could end up being very appropriate!
- Weekly night in - poker, movie, sports, pool, chess, LAN party - Not sure what I've got planned here but I think it will be fun, at least for the Sim!
- Travel for 1-2 years - You can always tell which ones are my ROSs, because of how boringly they're written! I only just added this one the other day though, so give me a break! I'm going to have this Sim do a trip similar to what Joanna did, where he/she is away for an extended period of time. I'm still thinking over exactly what I'll do but I won't go for the mementos this time, seeing I've done that. A working holiday, maybe? I'll think up something!
- Fire! Place two intense fires on the lot. - Fingers crossed this isn't a deadly fire because apart from an elder, I actually don't have to kill anyone this round! And I really love this Sim and have plans for them!
- Cheapskate (take someone out on date and skip out on bill) - I'll probably do this as an outing instead but it'll be a fun, easy diversion!
Round 24 Outtakes
Is it just me, or is Finn kind of rocking the kilt? Or, at least, rocking it better than Brandon Lillard does?Friday, 5 February 2010

Tatiana is now the principal of Sullivan Primary School, which the whole family is really proud of, no one more than Tatiana herself.

Seeing Oliver and Sebastian are the only 4 year-olds at SPS this year, they have their pick of the toys.
