I just aged the twins up last night, so you're around 9 months behind now! ;)<br /><br />I get so many ideas from other people's blogs as well. If I ever do an aquarium, I will definitely post pics but you should go and check out the aquarium the writer of The McTavishams built for her latest update. It's inspiring and intimidating all at the same time!<br /><br />http://the-mctavishams.livejournal.com/23427.htmlCarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-34282414216520785302010-05-27T14:41:01.452+10:002010-05-27T14:41:01.452+10:00Very nice update and great cameo of Lia, Gordon an...Very nice update and great cameo of Lia, Gordon and the twins :).<br /><br />I always seem to get so many ideas from your blog, from either you or the comments lol. I wrote down a kids camp ground and an aquarium for Oceanography to work on in the future. I hope you post pics of the aquarium whenever the mood strikes to build it!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-8863765378737206562010-05-17T09:03:19.910+10:002010-05-17T09:03:19.910+10:00Lunar, yeah, I guess I did manage to cram everyone...<b>Lunar</b>, yeah, I guess I did manage to cram everyone in here, didn't I? LOL. <br /><br />I think Maia will perk up soon enough. It makes sense that she'd be in a bit of a slump right now. Flunking out and breaking up with Nick - even though that was the right decision, it still would suck for both of them.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-14142381570211274082010-05-16T14:04:23.318+10:002010-05-16T14:04:23.318+10:00What a full family update!

Mostly those darn bear hats really are too adorable.<br /><br />But poor Maia.

He's been a good boy for the past 4 years he's been back together with Lia, so I think he's proven himself.<br /><br />And that's all very true. I think people like Finn and Josie, who know what they want to do from early on and stick to it until adulthood are fairly rare, so it's nice to have Maia mixing things up a bit. <br /><br />I keep meaning to go and build more workplaces. I've downloaded stuff to build an aquarium for the Oceanography career (which I have Victoria in) but...lazy! And uninspired. LOL.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-11382655720134092922010-05-15T06:33:45.245+10:002010-05-15T06:33:45.245+10:00It's about time Jace warms up to Gordon! It wo...It's about time Jace warms up to Gordon! It would be just plain stupid to hold a grudge against him still after all these years.<br /><br />I think it's cool that Maia hasn't really found her place in the world yet. As Francesca put it, it's not the typical mold. Some sims (and people) take their time before they find out what they want to do.<br /><br />I love seeing glimpses of your community lots. I've been meaning to an office building for Wellington but I never seem to get going.Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-49048276670022244742010-05-12T09:17:00.236+10:002010-05-12T09:17:00.236+10:00I was a dumbass and hit publish before I was done!...I was a dumbass and hit publish before I was done! LOL.<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, yeah, I think Jace is probably wishing he never told Tessa an age. But Lia (somehow) had her first kiss when she was 13 and Maia started dating when she was 14, so Tessa had considerable ammo if her request was refused!<br /><br />Jace has plenty of other things to focus on besides Gordon now! His granddaughters, plus any boys Maia and Tessa decide to bring home!<br /><br />Perhaps Maia just needs an ambition thrust in front of her face. I think the flower shop might work for her.<br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, yeah, 15 doesn't seem as far away as it did when Tessa was 12! <br /><br />I've long thought about that, how Jace is completely surrounded by girls! He's friendly with Gordon now, at least, so there's that! He'll either have to make nice with future boyfriends or wait until Lia pops out a boy if he wants to get some more testosterone around the place!<br /><br />I was disappointed when I discovered flower arranging was an Arts and Crafts thing. I had some Sims I discovered were Nature early on and I was bummed when I figured out that flower arranging didn't boost their enthusiasm. I don't always pay attention to the hobbies now anyway. I can't remember the last time Luc did anything sports related but his music enthusiasm is maxed.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-16829302249804074082010-05-12T09:07:07.584+10:002010-05-12T09:07:07.584+10:00Apple Valley, it's funny to read different pro...<b>Apple Valley</b>, it's funny to read different professions others think Maia would suit. Everyone seems to read the same Sim quite differently.<br /><br />I like to show Sims at their jobs where I've got a workplace for them, so I'm glad you liked that.

I love the shot of him watching through the window.<br /><br />I just now realized how surrounded by women Jace is: his wife, three daughters, and now two granddaughters! He'd better start making friends with the guys the girls bring home if he wants some more testosterone around there. ;)<br /><br />I like the idea of Maia taking over the shop. And I agree, flower arranging should count toward nature too!Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-91009220500544404082010-05-12T00:12:28.726+10:002010-05-12T00:12:28.726+10:00Oh Jace, putting down an age limit... sneaks up fa...Oh Jace, putting down an age limit... sneaks up faster then you expect!! He should have said, when he felt she was ready, lol.. coudl be college for that one! Funny that Nathan didn't make the best first impression, I wonder if it was him genuinely, or just Jace's experience with Gordon/Lia in the past. <br /><br />But a big yeah for Jace warming up to Gordon now! About time! Now he can focus on Tessa's dating life, and intimidating those young men. <br /><br />As for Maia, I really like the idea of her taking over the shop. very fitting, I think, especially since she doesn't have any great ambitions.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-83773649707721935552010-05-11T15:58:57.778+10:002010-05-11T15:58:57.778+10:00Hmm, maybe Maia and the flower shop would work.

At least they worked out an agreement.

Apparently, I just forgot. LC reminded me. <br /><br />Nathan's a cutie. His freckles are two different masks by Corvidophile layered over each other. I do the same thing for Hope, Anna, Betsy, Jesse and Mitchell - it's a family trait!<br /><br /><b>Francesca</b>, glad you liked the title. It seemed to ring true for Maia although I couldn't articulate why. I think you did a pretty good job. <br /><br />There are probably a lot of things Maia could do but she's one I don't see finding her niche for a while. I think she'll own the flower shop eventually and she'll keep it but there may be something else out there for her too. <br /><br />And yes, I was very excited to see that Gordon seems to be just as devoted in my game as he is in yours! He and Lia are too adorable as parents. Gordon will go in to tend one of the twins and Lia will follow and just stand there grinning at him. And vice versa. They've really taken to parenthood!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-32260305139661930382010-05-11T11:21:11.226+10:002010-05-11T11:21:11.226+10:00The title was perfect.

She's having to break it. I love nature sims though.<br /><br />Oh, maybe she could run a camp for kids?<br /><br />What did I tell you??
