More Sims 3 goodness

Starsha Simme, Gage and their family continue to grow, as Sims are prone to do. I'm discovering a lot to discover in this game. Things to collect, Opportunities that feel like mini-quests. The more I play it, the more I like it. :) However, my big complaint right now, is Weddings PHAIL. They failed to include a wedding arch, even the wedding rings have to be added to outfits in Create a Style, by adding it as an accessory. I only discovered this recently, so most of my pictures don't show wedding rings on married Sims. Sigh.







Lelaah, miss Evil Twin, keeps spinning up a wish to Steal Candy from a Baby. I usually deny it, but she took Tommy out of his crib when he woke up, set him down, and stole a lollipop from him. Who knew he had a lolli somewhere in that nappy. Ewww. *giggles*



Doesn't he look so sad about it? He didn't even KNOW he had candy, and now he knows, but can't have it. Poor wee baby.



Later on, when it was time to put him down, Lelaah volunteered, tucked him in, then turned around and started flipping out. She makes weeeeird faces and talks to herself a lot. Insane sims are interesting, that's for sure. ;)



Tina, one of the elder twins, really loves playing the guitar. She likes playing in the park. People just stop and watch and tap their foot along with the music. It's kinda nice, but even when they play at home, people will stop what they're doing just to watch. Sigh.



Since I accidentally aged up Tisha and Tina before they were due, I had the chance to age up Lionel Wainright. He was best friends with both girls growing up, and as teenagers he and Tisha developed a romance. I didn't want that romance to fade, so I grabbed a birthday cake, invited him over, and sure enough, when the pop up came for me to select which sim Blows out the Candles, he was in it, so he got to grow up too!



As you can see, Tisha is quite pleased that he grew up, and they can resume their quiet, shy little romance. They're so cute. Subtle flirts, shy kisses, hugs. But now that they're grown up....



They can sneak off for quiet romantic moments alone, without worrying about curfew. :)



Back at home Tisha took the opportunity to read a story to Tommy before tucking him in for the night. She gained Family-Oriented as her adult trait, so she has these wants to do things with her baby brother.



I caught this right as the Grim Reaper was fading away. This is Cornelia Goth. Sigh. So sad when they grow old and die. Layna got to witness it and see her very first ghost. She wasn't scared at all, but then she has the Brave trait.



Little Tommy's birthday. Just a family gathering. It's in the morning, everyone's still in their undies too, obviously. :)



Well, except for Lelaah. She doesn't wear the right clothes. She works out in formal wear, goes jogging in it even. Sleeps in her swimsuit. She's just a strange one, indeed.



Tommy grew up to be quite the cutie. He doesn't look too impressed with his dad standing there in his little yellow ducky undies though! *snicker*



Her's Tommy after his makeover. Yeah, the poor boy needed glasses. He looks good in them.



Right after he changed appearance, he started doing this in the mirror. I thought only teens did that. LOL. It was cute and funny to watch.



Now, another thing I really don't like in The Sims 3... painting a still life. It's UGLY! You get this horrible screen (Click here to see) and you have this teeny little box to frame the picture in. It's REALLY difficult to position, and not at all friendly. This is a still life Tina did and I captured Lionel when he came to visit.



Here's how Lionel looked when he came to visit. No more painting realistic portraits to hang on the wall. Later on when her skill is even higher, and she has the actual option to 'paint portrait' they don't come out too much better. They still look stylized and kinda blah.



Lionel has the Childish trait. Also Daredevil, Mooch... I can't recall what else. His lifetime wish is the one where you master the painting and guitar skills.



He stays for dinner, but wound up spending most of his visit playing in the sprinklers, or playing with the dollhouse. LOL



But afterward, it wasn't too difficult to convince him to spend the night, and forget his childish wishes and focus on his woman. Yowza! :)



They look so happy together. ;)



The next morning.. Tisha proposed. She's such a sweet thing. I couldn't let them shack up like her parents have all these years. Heheh.



So the wedding was planned and took place not long after. She has her white and pink dress. It's a night time wedding, I arranged it to try to get some pretty shots. THis was the best of the bunch, sadly.



Everyone gathered awkwardly around the area. Nobody would sit on the benches I had placed. They just gawked at the couple exchanging rings, and applauded after.



Exchanging vows, Tisha's phone starts ringing! OMG. Leave her alone, she's trying to get married for cryin' out loud!



Somehow they manage to make it through and finish their vows, and share their first kiss as a married couple.



Starsha's very happy. She gets a moodlet for Mother of the Bride, that boosts her mood for awhile. It was very sweet.



Another moment of PHAIL. Before the wedding party, I had Gage fishing at the park. When the party started, I canceled it out and told him to head home. He got STUCK here. So he spun into his formal clothes, and kept trying to get home. He missed the wedding. Silly game. I had to go into Edit Town, and remove the fence behind him so he could move. Sigh.



Lionel moves in, and here's his makeover. He had the same hairstyle as Gage, and I didn't want that, so I went with a different style that seems to fit his personality a little better.



Here's Evil Twin, having been in her Formal wear, and now she's just .. sitting on the edge of the tub. Sitting. That's all her action icon says too. Sitting. O.O Why? Move you crazy loon! LOL



Course, while she was sitting there, she had company run into the bathroom. Uh, aren't you supposed to be enjoying your wedding night Tisha? Heehee



Yep, brushing your teeth might just be a wise idea. She never seemed to notice her crazy sister sitting on the edge of the tub, just staring off into space.




We close with a shot of the parents of the Bride. Gage already got into his undies, but Starsha stayed dressed up awhile longer. Starsha's now spinnign up wishes to have another baby. OMG no way! I helped you raise FIVE, that's enough. Give your eldest a chance now!
