This is something I made for August Goodies at N99 this year (which I think we actually ended up posting in September, due to the Yuku-to-Tapatalk migration) and am only just getting around to sharing here. They're the first clothing recolours I've ever shared!

Round 37: April 2045 (Autumn)




At the Carmody-Moretti house, the family is adjusting to life with baby Richie.

Richie is the fifth child for Nick and Sarah though, so it’s not as if this isn’t something they’ve all been through many times before!

Extra: Big family portraits!

I take family portraits of my sims all the time but about 10 game years ago, inspired by other simmers, I did a whole bunch of big family portraits. Generally, they are grandparents, their kids and partners and all their grandkids and partners. Or not-yet-grandparents and their grown kids and partners. I've decided to redo them every 10 game years, so I can see how they've changed and rather than throw them in at the end of my regular updates one by one, I thought I'd put them all in one big pic spam post instead!

          Miles and Matilda:

Miles and Matilda tried for a baby while I was doing this pic - no dice but I'm not expecting much from them. She's 39 already.

Now that James Novak has fulfilled his promise to retire and both are at home full time, Madelyn is at him to take her away on vacation.

Lot tour: Josh and Elspeth's house

Okay, so here is the requested lot tour of Josh and Elspeth's house. I was sick this week, then busy with work and other things and didn't end up getting a chance to play, so there was no story update on Thursday. I prefer lot tours to be extras rather than in place of story updates but I figure a tour is better than nothing!

Anyway, it's going to be a short one, as it's a pretty small place, really. There is an empty bedroom and an extra bathroom that I haven't shown off. There is also a sizeable backyard but there's nothing in it, so no pics of that either!



Here's the exterior. Normally, I'm pretty good with links but I don't have one for this house! It's from MTS and that's all I can tell you! I'll keep looking and add the link if I find it.

I have no one even engaged right now but I can tell you that we will be seeing at least one engagement and subsequent wedding in Sullivan next round. :D

Lot tour: Malcolm and Hope's new house

Okay, so here is the promised lot tour! I meant to have it up yesterday but got caught up with a few other things before I could get it ready. The house is this one from Mod the Sims. 


I didn't change much at all about the exterior - the windows and doors were it, I think.

Lot tour: Hubris Games

I've had Hubris Games (named after Hubris Comics, from the Fallout series) sitting around my hood for more than six months now. I started it, went full bore for a while and then lost steam for months. Last night, I had a sudden flash of motivation and decided to finish it. 

I'm intending this as a career lot for both the Gaming and the Game Development careers, so both Troy and Elspeth will work here. It's inspired by the Life Invader offices in GTA5, as well as various photos I've seen of Facebook and Google offices over the world. I still want to add/fix up a bit of the deco and I may turn the roof into *something* but for all intents and purposes, it's done. 


So here is the exterior. It was originally three storeys but I brought it down to two, because having all that space to fill was part of what made me lose steam with it to begin with.
