Round 26: Summer 2023

Last update: Amar and Jacob/Gordon (plus Lia's last update)

Next update/Gordon's next update

Gordon Nott is 27, Amar Hamilton and Jacob Weaver are both 22.
(Lia is 26, Claudia is 22)

Narrated by Jacob Weaver

After I graduated, I was looking for a place to live and answered an ad in the paper from Gordon, who was looking for a room mate. He needed someone to pay half the rent, which I can't do on my salary so we ended up with Amar living with us as well.

You say it's your birthday, Summer 2023

Okay, this might be my biggest birthday post ever! I've decided to do my graduation posts in the summer instead of in the middle of the year in winter, so that added an extra 5 people to the roster!

As with birthday posts though, it's pretty much all pic spam so it only looks long. ;) Why don't we start with the pregnancy updates?

Tatiana is awake because she's uncomfortable and very pregnant and Jonas is up because he's being a worry-wart again! Not too much longer to wait though; Baby #4 is due in Autumn!

Over at Suffolk University, Victoria has just gone into labour, not that 2 year-old Declan cares at all.

Round 26 ROS

Whee, no deaths! I've got some elder deaths coming up though and I am totally sad about at least one of them. :(

Ugh, this 9 to 5 blows! You quit your job to be your own boss. Good luck to you! - I've got an idea for this one already. :D
Get gold badge
Errands - visit 4 community lots before the end of the day
Renovations! - a total makeover for one room of your house
Cheapskate (take someone out on date and skip out on bill)
Win 4 new friends

Nothing particularly game-altering at first glance but I think I might be able to make something interesting out of all of them this round.

Round 25 Outtakes

I said during the high school update that Rebecca was mortified by Tessa's eating habits. Have you ever seen a Sim look more disgusted in your life? She's even been put off her food!

Guess who? - the answers

Okay, here are the answers from Thursday's Guess Who. I was pretty impressed at the Sims some of you managed to identify, sans CC!

(Josie is 20 and Troy is 19)

Narrated by Zelda Benton

Tate and I have both been feeling a little run down about work recently, so we decided the best cure for that was a vacation! We wanted a private space of our own, so we started looking at real estate on Cape Elizabeth.

I'm having a really crappy time this spring. I've been plagued by acne, first of all. As soon it one breakout clears, another one arrives the next day.

Guess who?

So if you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that yesterday, I was afraid I'd lost Sullivan. I spent the better part of the morning troubleshooting and fixing it and then spent the afternoon replaying Joanna and Rose and painstakingly redecorating a house I'd just done the night before (very glad I took pictures!). It was so how I wanted to spend my day off!

Anyway, when I loaded up my hood to test it, I noticed that some of my Sims looked rather interesting with no CC so I thought we could play a game of Guess Who!

Some of these Sims' skin tones may be different, because they use an in-between tone and I only had the 4 Maxis tones in the game when I took the pictures. So keep that in mind when you make your guesses.
