She's Popularity, so she usually rolls the want to get fit again. But her weight has gone up and down since she was a teenager. <br /><br />I can see the 20 grandkids want popping up for Kendal too! All of my Sims who wanted babies at a later age have eventually had that want. Calvin and Troy are both at least a few years away from having kids though, so she might be annoying me with that want again soon! I guess Josie could have an oops but she and Troy are both neat, so they're on double BC. Josie wouldn't want to get pregnant until she's completely done with med school and established in her career.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-37399341875980202592010-07-30T03:36:12.110+10:002010-07-30T03:36:12.110+10:00Aww, Sylvia's even cute when she's having ...Aww, Sylvia's even cute when she's having her tantrums. What a beautiful tot she is and I know she'll be a beautiful young woman.<br /><br />Is it me or didn't Rose's boobs look huge in that shirt while they were eating? LOL! I'm watching Big Brother here in the States and she reminds me of this girl on there who has big ones. Really big....<br /><br />Anyway lol, glad to see Troy finally got a job. It's been so long. I thought they'd be announcing an engagement too but in time, I guess :). I can't wait to see a Josie/Troy wedding.<br /><br />And I can see Kendal wanting 20 grandkids once she becomes an elder if she's still thinking about having another at her age. She'll soon find that being a grandmother is better than having her own kids cuz she can spoil them and then send them home :). Although some of your sim grandparents didn't have the latter luxury ;)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-49033841544777219692010-07-29T16:41:20.598+10:002010-07-29T16:41:20.598+10:00Lunar, heh, I've put a bunch of other people&#...<b>Lunar</b>, heh, I've put a bunch of other people's Sims in as townies lately but it was especially fun to see Anjali, seeing she's already a character elsewhere.<br /><br />Josie makes that face a lot but not usually when talking to Troy, so I decided I had to use that picture!<br /><br /><b>Laura</b>, I know, isn't it sad? Kendal's very likely to be widowed again. <br /><br />Without aging hacks, I didn't think Sims could live past 85 - that was the highest I ever got before I did my own aging mod, anyway! I've got all my elder deaths listed in Flashnote and I have a couple of Sims who are going to live to their 90s, the highest being 93! Whether one of them is Lake remains to be seen. To you guys, anyway!<br /><br />I can't wait to play Sylvia again - Joanna and Rose are so cute with her.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, Anjali bought over $800 worth of pottery! I don't know what she's going to do with it all, given that she's a homeless townie but it might end up being a nice nest egg to sell if she ever marries into one of my families!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12328406818198655342010-07-29T13:49:57.568+10:002010-07-29T13:49:57.568+10:00Oh poor Kendal!

My oldest in real gameplay so far has been about 88, I think. And the oldest in testing my aging mod has been 92. I hope he lives to be 92 then!)<br /><br />Sylvia is just adorable!

I saw your original comment in my e-mail and figured you just missed the notes. :)<br /><br />I'm not wedded to having all of my businesses be family businesses, but I do like to do it for a few of them, this one included. <br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, you know, it never crossed my mind that you guys would think Troy and Josie were engaged, even though it looks like a few of you thought the same thing!<br /><br />I'm all over absolutely anything that lets me be even nerdier than I already am!<br /><br /><b>Flit</b>, I think so too! Chris has a lot of Kendal's other features, so why not her height as well?<br /><br />I do use Laura's scale, except that I make my 4 year-olds a couple of notches shorter than she does. <br /><br />If you mean what age do my teen girls stop "growing", for most of them, I bump them up two notches (so say, from 0.90 to 0.92) every year. For example though, for Tessa, I had planned her adult height to be only 0.93, so she stopped "growing" at 15. <br /><br />I will definitely have a look at your blog and try to help you out but I'm only quickly replying to my own comments this morning. I'll get back to you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. :)<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, heh, my Sims that have died as young as 70 are few and far between. Most of them make it past 75. But yes, Kendal is very likely to be widowed again. :(<br /><br />I don't have many short guys, so it'll be fun to have another. I won't make him too short - I've got him set to be around the same height as Jace and Gordon (who both have short wives!)<br /><br />Lake was almost 40 when Rose was born and she's starting her family quite late (for one of my Sims, anyway!), so he is pretty old for a first time grandpa. I hope he's around to see Patience's kids. It seems unlikely that he'll be around for Chris's but I haven't done the maths yet. <br /><br />I kept telling you guys that this is it for Troy and Josie! They roll so many wants for each other.<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, ha, you and Kendal were hoping the same thing!<br /><br />My Sims hardly ever use their backyards, so I've been making an effort to do more of that lately. More realistic. People here are in the backyards all the time in summer.<br /><br />Chris has plenty of time to change his mind if he is off kids now because of Sylvia! And perhaps he'll see how charming she can be as well!<br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, for today's update, I did something similar. There are so many things I do in the game that are unnecessary but it makes it a bit more realistic, so I do it anyway. Sim staircases are scary!<br /><br />A moment of madness for Kendal, I think! She's entitled to one but I'm not going to indulge it! I fully expect it to roll back one day.<br /><br />I can see Josie as the type to talk something like to death, so I'm not positive when these Troy and Josie will actually tie the knot although it will almost definitely happen eventually. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-30978648087601574642010-07-24T06:19:33.263+10:002010-07-24T06:19:33.263+10:00I do the same thing with a fence around the pool. ...I do the same thing with a fence around the pool. I put one up around Orion and Bessie's pool when I noticed Kat toddling around the backyard when she was smaller and thought, "Um, that's not very safe!" I know the toddlers can't actually fall into it, but I felt better with a fence around it anyway. ;) I put railings around the openings to staircases too because it makes me feel better than to just have that sudden drop off.<br /><br />Ha, Kendall was a bit crazy with that baby want. At least it rolled away quickly. I can't believe Lake is 70! I'm glad Troy finally found a job, but I had also thought that maybe they were going to announce their engagement. But yeah, I could see Josie waiting a bit longer.<br /><br />lol at poor Chris with cranky Sylvia!Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-20473965484146859262010-07-24T00:26:24.086+10:002010-07-24T00:26:24.086+10:00I was kind of hoping Troy and Josie would anounce ...I was kind of hoping Troy and Josie would anounce their engagement, but the news he has was about as good as an engagement. I'm glad he finally found a job.<br /><br />I loved the night with the family next to the pool. It looks so cosy.<br />I know what you mean with the fence around the pool, I do the same thing.<br />Someone asked me once, why I was putting fences around a staircase since my sims couldn't really fall into it! But it just feels so much safer with a fence.<br /><br />Sylvia is such a cutie, and I'm hoping with Kendal that Sylvia hasn't turned Chris off ever having children. He looks really frustated with Sylvia's tantrum!<br /><br />Exploring every possibility really isn't a bad thing, I guess. And Chris is only a teen anyway, so he will figure it out one day.Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-46907349922399161422010-07-23T21:24:45.933+10:002010-07-23T21:24:45.933+10:00Man, 70 really snuck up on me for Lake, I was conc...Man, 70 really snuck up on me for Lake, I was concerned he might not make it through the sickness, and then your post at N99... Kendal is so much younger then him, and the odds of her being a widow twice are so realistic, makes me worry for the little thing.<br /><br />I love that Chris has his mom's genes for height!! <br /><br />Yay for Rose taking over the pottery shop, it will be in the family, and I think that's great. Maybe Sylvia will want to run it someday. She's one spoiled girl, and Lake is pretty old for a first time grandpa. I'm glad Troy got a job.

I'm glad he's finally gotten a job in the gaming career though, he's waited so long.<br /><br />I've started using Maisie's method too to link height to eye color. It's so cool and it's much easier to figure out how tall (or short) everyone will be. I love all this nerdy stuff.Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-62170599047236251222010-07-23T18:05:16.832+10:002010-07-23T18:05:16.832+10:00^^^ I was getting into my stride writing about how...^^^ I was getting into my stride writing about how familiar one of the 'new' customers looked, posted it then realised I hadn't read the notes and she'd already got a mention, lol.

Reading Maisie's method of bringing genetics into it just made it even better to me. <br /><br />Kendal and Lake are probably one of my couples where it's most obvious because Lake is very tall and Kendal is my shortest female Sim (equal with Cara). It can get annoying to do things like lining up kisses and stuff but I either use different angles or I temporarily make the Sims the same height and then pop them back down. It's a minor annoyance for someone that I think makes the game so much more realistic.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-58407286419192954262010-07-23T11:55:09.496+10:002010-07-23T11:55:09.496+10:00Okay, so I've been absent from the Simming com...Okay, so I've been absent from the Simming community for a while, when I saw your family portrait at the top of this post I was amazed at the heights. I absolutely LOVE the idea. (Shows that stuff is always new to someone.) Thank you for the information and the links to the other sites with more info. I've always been annoyed with the fact that my female sims all seem to be taller than my males. (I know they're not, but with some hats and what not, the guys look short!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
