Nothing they provided gives us anything like what we had with OFB. I should probably shut up about TS4 too though (spoiler warning: I won't).<br /><br />I know, Nick and Sarah are crazy people. Or one of them is - I can't actually remember which one has the baby want, lol. I can see them being the kind of people who are totally content with their gaggle of kids. :) I don't know that they'll ever have a fifth but I'd consider it for sure.<br /><br />Ah, good point about the athletic scholarship! That could definitely pay off for Catherine one day but we'll have to see what happens in the future. It's a long time away. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-80637062365195345192014-08-10T13:02:41.786+10:002014-08-10T13:02:41.786+10:00I miss OfB so much when I read your updates. I kno...I miss OfB so much when I read your updates. I know I say that often, but it's so true! Stupid EA. Why can't they implement awesome things consistently? I won't even open my mouth about TS4.<br /><br />FIVE kids? Oh boy. You'd think four would give them enough gray hairs to stop there, haha! Brave folks. I can't even begin to imagine the chaos that five kids would bring.<br /><br />Poor Catherine. The allure of being outside is just too hard to deny, homework be damned! Hopefully she can get it together a little better. Bad study habits will come back and bite her in the butt later on... unless, of course, she goes the athletic scholarship route. ;)Maohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055085789427987065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-76399847290077231632014-07-02T11:54:12.377+10:002014-07-02T11:54:12.377+10:00No, plenty of room around here without everyone ge...No, plenty of room around here without everyone getting on top of each other, which is quite a feat with a family of 7!<br /><br />Oh man, sims with multiples who still want more babies! Insanity. TS3 sims seem even more nuts about babies than TS2 sims, in my experience. You just have to put your foot down at some stage. ;)<br /><br />Sam and Susannah were sort of thrown together when she got pregnant. He had a ton of problems getting along with Kimberly and that soured things things a bit for Susannah. Mostly though, they just weren't right for each other, so Susannah ended it before Zac was even two. The update where they broke up is <a href="http://sullivansims.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/hand-to-mouth.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-60169312877466160892014-07-02T11:45:12.638+10:002014-07-02T11:45:12.638+10:00I think those lazy Fridays with just Nick could sw...I think those lazy Fridays with just Nick could sway Sarah's opinion as well. A fifth child would put an end to that for another five years or so. <br /><br />Susannah and Daniel are coming up soon in the play schedule, so we'll get to see what they're up to. :) I imagine they'll fulfill Kimberly's yen for another grandbaby eventually, though maybe not as soon as she'd like. Susannah may even already have the want for another baby. I'm not sure.<br /><br />Bookworm is one of my favourite traits in TS3 as well. :) I'm liking reassigning a lot of my sims' hobbies according to interests. It seems to be balancing out the hobbies in a way that randomising them didn't. <br /><br />I definitely plan to have Lucy take over completely one day. It's just a matter of when. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-91939184692338516072014-07-01T20:24:53.971+10:002014-07-01T20:24:53.971+10:00So a big house for a big family!

I don't see anyone getting in anyone's way in this family even with four kids. ;) Little Alex is so cute and I don't blame Catherine ditching her homework for something a bit more fun. lol I have one family that I've been playing for a while and they just keep on rolling baby wants. They had triplets last time which was unexpected, I thought they were having twins! But I think I'll stop there because that is now a total of 6 kids and I'd feel bad if I let them have anymore. lol <br /><br />I'm curious to know what happened between Susannah and Sam but her and Daniel seem sweet together. They'd definitely have cute babies, haha!<br /><br />Nice update. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261344314447423273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-17742037382955839642014-07-01T20:18:59.747+10:002014-07-01T20:18:59.747+10:00I love this family, they seem so cosy.
Silly famil...I love this family, they seem so cosy.<br />Silly family sims, always wanting another one. I could see these 2 with 5 though, but 4 seems good as well. Maybe Sarah will think differently when Alex starts school as well, and their fridays off, will be just for the 2 of them.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing more of Susannah and Daniel. They look very well together. And I hope they can at least fulfill one of Kimberly's wants :)<br />I don't get why simgrandparents never seem to be happy with the grandkids they have. They always keep rolling wants for another one, when they already have 5 or so running around.<br />Tao and Yena on my hood are the same. They now have 11 grandkids, and they still have the want for another one (which I doubt they will ever get).<br /><br />I love Thomas and Ryan as little bookworms (that's one of my favourite traits in TS3 as well). They seem so sweet. I even love Catherine as the sports-enthousiast more! I think it's great that she, as the only girl in the family, likes sports :)<br /><br />I never got around to commenting on N99, but I was going to suggest the same thing as you actually did in game. And I really hope Lucy will be able to take over completely one day.Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-47209329856752659962014-06-29T09:32:35.515+10:002014-06-29T09:32:35.515+10:00Not including the couple of times I've over-co...Not including the couple of times I've over-committed and crammed 8 college students into the one household, this family is my equal largest. The Gottliebs were this big at one stage too - after Sophie went to college and Michael was born. It probably seemed smaller though, because the kids weren't outnumbering the adults!<br /><br />I kind of love Thomas and Ryan as bookworms. They're pretty active kids (like both their parents), so I think we'll still see them playing outside a fair bit too. I think Nick and Sarah would encourage that kind of thing anyway. <br /><br />I was so happy a couple of elders came in when I sent Kimberly down the salon. It made sense to me that most of her long-term clients would be older, seeing she's worked there for so long. I haven't touched the salon yet - it's pretty much exactly as it was when I downloaded it. I want to get rid of those clothing racks opposite the stylist chairs though. I don't use them anyway, so I might put up some shelving with some beauty-related clutter there. :) But the salon is pretty set as it is. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-47565904570171880292014-06-28T13:24:41.722+10:002014-06-28T13:24:41.722+10:00What is the largest family you've had in your ...What is the largest family you've had in your game, is it this one? I think they should definitely go for number five, and preferably before they ar 58! They have such cute, and sweet kids, and how funny that Catherine was hiding her pile of homework, and ignoring it. I always forget that the want only pops up if there is homework on the lot, mine always seem to come home with it, so it's usually there.<br /><br />I really like the new hobbies for the boys, very sweet seeing them reading together in the living room. Catherine and Sarah bonding over soccer is also adorable, and so atypical for mother/daughter events that I love it even more. Kimberly handing the reigns over and cutting hours works perfectly, and I like that her long standing customers come in on Friday's to see her. The salon looks great from what I can see of it, I'm excited for Lucy take over eventually. I can see her enjoying that aspect of the salon.

Four is definitely enough but if Nick ever rolls a baby want...I'm not sure I'll be able to say no.<br /><br />Some of my sims tend to go <i>out</i> on dates more than others. Some of it is probably just what I feel like doing at the time I play them but also, some sims just seem like homebodies to me. <br /><br />LOL, actually, last engagement in Sullivan was in July, with Sophie and Oliver. But looking at my play schedule, there are a few more possibilities. I think we'll definitely see at least one more engagement before the round is out. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12073896218895688722014-06-26T12:32:11.643+10:002014-06-26T12:32:11.643+10:00Wow, a fifth.

They all say going from two to three or three to four was fine but going from one to two was a massive adjustment. <br /><br />I have a few kids who somehow get around the Desk Locator! I don't mind too much - keeps it interesting!<br /><br />LOL, I know, you want to shake them and say "hello? You literally just had a grandchild! Can't you enjoy that one a bit before wanting another?!" I don't even tend to write those wants in if the newest grandchild is a newborn, because it's just a bit silly. But two years in, I guess Kimberly has the itch again!<br /><br />I downloaded both Daniel and Susannah ages ago. I forget where I got Susannah but Daniel is actually strange_tomato's Morrissey sim. <br /><br />Yeah, I'll have to send Nick and Sarah out on a proper date soon. ;) I think it's been a while! It seems realistic with four kids though, even well-behaved ones! <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-29414242732191055342014-06-25T11:15:17.763+10:002014-06-25T11:15:17.763+10:00Oh, I forgot, I meant to comment that those couple...Oh, I forgot, I meant to comment that those couple of hours after lunch Fridays are really nice for Nick and Sarah, but I hope they get to go out too before long.ShannonSimsFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927796423854363819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-10316409175598177112014-06-25T11:13:52.304+10:002014-06-25T11:13:52.304+10:00What a great family, and how true to life, that so...What a great family, and how true to life, that sometimes people just seem to handle a larger number of children so gracefully. It is funny that Catherine put her homework outside IN SPITE of the desk locator, I have never seen a sim do that, it reminds me of kids who go to great lengths and subterfuge to avoid homework. <br /><br />The solution with Kimberly is a really good one, and nice for Lucy. It makes total sense to me. As for her engagement, marriage, and grandchild wants, sometimes it gets aggravating when a family has just had a grandchild, or even two, and the grandparent still keeps rolling those wants. <br /><br />Daniel and Susannah are both so striking looking.ShannonSimsFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927796423854363819noreply@blogger.com
