It's <a href="http://sullivansims.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/lot-tour-bramble-cottage.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a> but I've redecorated it fairly extensively. The nursery will stay the same though, so you can see where Baby Whitney will sleep. Or see it again, anyway, as I noticed you commented on that tour, lol!<br /><br />And yeah, the lack of chance cards in TS3 is disappointing. The rewards for the opportunities are never that great and they get really samey after a while too. :\<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-85524895859476818922015-11-28T15:32:55.286+11:002015-11-28T15:32:55.286+11:00Wow, was Samuel lucky or what with the chance card...Wow, was Samuel lucky or what with the chance cards! I always loved those when they popped up in TS2 but I find in TS3 that they don't pop up as often. I think with TS3 it's more about the opportunities and I'm just not down for those, they actually annoy me, lol!<br /><br />Congrats to them both though, baby news in the sims is always exciting! Hope everything goes well for them! :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261344314447423273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-69029401192659306232015-11-28T07:50:43.496+11:002015-11-28T07:50:43.496+11:00I'm so glad Julia finally got pregnant.

I love that with ACR the sims don't get pregnant just like that because it's so much more realistic than without any mods.<br /><br />I really like that career and hope to use it although I don't have any sims in mind for it right now.Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-66428970356173575482015-11-23T07:20:50.929+11:002015-11-23T07:20:50.929+11:00Ha, the car obviously has a reputation!

I'm glad you liked the posed shots - I really missed doing more of those and am happy with how they turned out.<br /><br />Yeah, I need something for all those political sims to do when there are no elections...though I do really need to hold another election soon. I put it off while I was rebuilding, and then again while I was adding in all my families and decorating for them. But I could do it now and it might be a bit more interesting with the political strategist career in now. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-33783641490580632472015-11-23T01:24:17.873+11:002015-11-23T01:24:17.873+11:00So happy for Julia, and before I read Maisie's...So happy for Julia, and before I read Maisie's comment, I was thinking, "try in the car!" I love the poses you did and screenshots you got, of Julia's disappointment, and the one you used of her telling Sam, that is so cute and a nice change from the same one every time. <br /><br />I love Starr's lot, as well as Pru's career you are using. It does make sense, and I did something similar with mine in Simdale Valley, because elections aren't constantly going on. It makes sense to me they would collaborate with lobbyists and develop those relationships they'll need at the next election.<br /><br />Laura, I totally agree about them getting pregnant too easily. For S4 Command Center lets you set the odds now as low as you want, both for TFB and for Risky. But we still can't have decreasing fertility with age, which would just make sense.

She's a true Family sim, that one. ;)<br /><br />In TS2, once your sim is 6 days from elder, she can't get pregnant any more. ACR adds onto that and gives them actual declining fertility rates as they age, which I have always thought was so, so cool. I think you might be able to give individual sims different rates but I haven't looked into that at all. That way lies madness, at least for me!<br /><br />I don't think it's that cars are easier to get pregnant in, exactly. I think they just weren't coded into ACR properly (you still have to direct them, for instance - they won't woohoo in a car autonomously), so trying for a baby in a car is pretty much a guarantee, because it uses the EA odds. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-89028545692736022112015-11-14T11:57:50.046+11:002015-11-14T11:57:50.046+11:00Aww, I'm happy for them that it finally happen...Aww, I'm happy for them that it finally happened. She looks so happy in those pictures! <br /><br />Sims do get pregnant so easily. You pretty much have to use mods to make it any sort of challenge at all. I am disappointed that TS4 doesn't even have declining fertility rates for older adults. Or maybe that was always part of a mod, but you'd think by this late in the series, it would be standard. ... But then, we also naively assumed that toddlers would be standard. :\ <br /><br />How funny! I had no idea cars were easier to get pregnant in, lol!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-10880535094018173842015-11-13T09:25:35.601+11:002015-11-13T09:25:35.601+11:00I can see myself using this career far more than t...I can see myself using this career far more than the regular Politics career now. Realistically, of a group of ~150 people, how many are going to want to run for office?<br /><br />I think Zac will be a pretty good brother. He doesn't have a ton of experience with younger kids, apart from his cousin Alex, but he's a very sensible sort of kid. I think he'll be fine. :) And I have to do pretty much nothing to get him to get along with Julia. His personality is identical to Sam's and she gets along with Sam, so it follows that she'd get along with Zac too, I guess.<br /><br />I thought of your Elise actually, a couple of days after I finished writing! Julia has control freak tendencies for sure and this is something she really can't control. It's just all up to nature, really. It's funny you mention cars, because I think Araminta and Henry conceived Elspeth in a car! That was quite a miraculous pregnancy, so cars really must be magic!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-3070623029861296132015-11-12T06:47:06.447+11:002015-11-12T06:47:06.447+11:00Oh I love that career!

I am super excited that they are having a baby! I'm curious how Zac will be as a big brother, I've got a strong inclination that he will be awesome. He's such a good, sweet boy. Julia really lucked out with him for a stepson, and I'm so glad that she treats him well. I could see Julia being very impatient to get pregnant once the decision was made, in the regard for not being patient when it comes to getting what she wants, I'd say her and my Elise are the same. When suffering from infertility, the photobooth and a car seem to be the quick fixes! I just had another car pregnancy, totally unplanned, and Mavis was conceived in a car over at Emma and Chris' house. Cars are dangerous! ;) Can't wait to see what they have! maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
