I always look forward to January in my game. :) <br /><br />I think the thing with vacations in TS3 is they didn't really give you a ton to do if you felt like your sim wasn't really the sort to go traipsing around tombs, setting off traps and being chased by mummies. Which, in my game at least, is basically all of my sims! That's what the issue with WA is for me, anyway. Although my Far East and Mountains destinations need a lot of sprucing up before they're as fun as the Islands. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-65633197400057682842017-09-25T20:58:59.125+10:002017-09-25T20:58:59.125+10:00Love seeing so many birthday's and graduations...Love seeing so many birthday's and graduations! <br /><br />Looks like the Novak family had a great vacation. I've always loved the vacations hoods in TS2. For some reason it feels more like a real vacation for my sims than in TS3. Maybe because they are smaller hoods and you only have a limited amount of time to do vacation things. lolJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261344314447423273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-55059366344673162322017-09-07T09:24:47.765+10:002017-09-07T09:24:47.765+10:00The islands are the absolute best, to me.

The Far East has the winning combination of ugly lots and there being very little to do! I want to make that whole place over, eventually. <br /><br />Yes, Corbin's face is definitely one of the defaults - that's all you can get with TS2 townies. I never noticed the resemblance with him and Cameron but now that I'm thinking about it, I can see it! You might be right. As for personality...well, he's got one, obviously but there was no lore or back story or anything for any of the townies in TS2 (except Bella Goth in Strangetown). They were just kind of there! <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-21339518804189812722017-09-05T02:33:14.861+10:002017-09-05T02:33:14.861+10:00What a fun vacation for the Novak family!

My sims rarely ever went to the Far East location until I built a university there. <br /><br />I have to say, it is indeed weird to see Corbin as an elder here! I don't think he ever made it past 33 in my hood, although he made it a bit further as a story character. I always forget that his face isn't mine, and then I see him all over living all of these different lives. I don't remember how much of a personality he ever came with in game, but everyone (myself included, eventually!) seems to settle him down with a family in the end. As a face though, I'm pretty sure it's one of the standard TS2 types. I think my Cameron Gibson (Bella's guy) had it, too.

I've never, ever lost weight though.<br /><br />I'm going to go and add those freckles this morning, before I forget! Jesse still has his boyish charm as an elder, which I was quite pleased with. I was sad to age him up because he really was a good looking adult. But I wasn't quite as sad once I did age him up, because I still love his looks. :)<br /><br />Agreed, the Ashtons all have great genes! No need to feel <i>too</i> sorry for Brendan! His current household isn't scheduled until the second half of the round, at which point I'll already have him moved in with his friends. It's possible I'll pop in on them during a birthdays update but definitely not for a full session.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-43001703802266430222017-08-19T09:04:17.871+10:002017-08-19T09:04:17.871+10:00Heh, Maia's ideal family size is 1, so she pro...Heh, Maia's ideal family size is 1, so she probably didn't picture herself having three kids either. Ethan's IFS is 3 though, so he won out this time. :) And yes, Rosa Lucida is a florist. Maia's dad Jace was the original owner. I love going into my sims' inventories and seeing what flowers they've bought for their homes. Unlike a lot of other things for sale at my sims' businesses, I can pretty much always find a spot for some flowers or a pot plant. :)<br /><br />Gabriel definitely resembles both his parents, so it's not so crazy you saw Gordon in him. Like you said here though, he has Lia's mouth. Lia's mouth is quite distinctive to me, much more so than anything he inherited from Gordon. <br /><br />I love Jesse as an elder, although I was a bit sad to age him up! And come to think of it, I don't think I'd seen Corbin as an elder before either. Jen, who used to write LaQuest Beach, had Corbin in her hood too and I'm almost positive he never got as far as elder. In my hood, I'm going to have to be careful not to mix him up with Caleb. They sort of look alike if you're not paying close attention!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-32343396351834713402017-08-13T09:13:02.478+10:002017-08-13T09:13:02.478+10:00Wow, I want some of the Novak's luck.

I've never come back in better shape. <br /><br />Byron and Noel are adorable and will be even cuter with freckles. I was sad to see Jesse on the elder list. He's still a good looking guy, but man he was super good looking in his adult years. <br /><br />The Ashton girls are adorable! Very good genes they have there! I like the facial hair on Gabriel too, I agree that the facial hair brings a balance to his face. Caitlin looks great, and poor Brendan, that's quite a full household that he's moving back into! At least it won't be for too long. maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-66496977016971028812017-08-12T23:40:18.899+10:002017-08-12T23:40:18.899+10:00The Novak's vacation looked super fun!

I didn't expect Maia and Ethan to have three kids, and Willow, River, and Wren are so adorable. What kind of business is Lucida Rosa? Is it a florist?<br /><br />The stubble is nice on Gabriel with his mouth shape. I can't believe I didn't notice that was Lia's mouth when I first saw him and thought he was Gordon.<br /><br />Your elders look great! Jesse Carmody is really cute, and I don't think I've ever seen Corbin Gray as an elder before! He's been in several of my games and then I always remember his character in Lakeside Heights/Fish and the Bird, too.
