Chapter 7
Chapter 6
Recap: Quads were born last time. That is all.
It’s a standoff…or is it a lay down? Cola cannot get up because Alex is in the way and Alex will not move even if he has to pee is spot.
The quads were aged up. I could not take it anymore.
Ecru: Has the purple hair and eyes, but she has Candlelight’s skin and is not fairy.
Eggplant: Has eyes, skin and fairy, but has Candlelight’s hair.
Eminence is just completely random. I think he might possibly have Candlelight’s skin.
Emerald: Success! We have our heiress! Hair: Check. Skin: Check. Eyes: Check. Fairy: Check.
Candlelight no longer needs the Fountain of Youth potion, but she still spends time researching alchemy to keep her out of baby making trouble.
Apricot and Amethyst age up to YA. Which I do not have pics yet.
Bavarian Cream ages up to teen and comes home from boarding school.
Apricot tries to singlehandedly take care of the quads.
Cola-Fizz bought an honorary degree. He now has 2/3 degrees. He is off to University with Candlelight and the twins. Bavarian Cream is left to find for himself with the quads.
Apricot spends her time playing pool.
Amethyst decided to lecture on gardening, a subject she has no skill at.
Apricot moves on to table tennis and Candlelight is addicted to the video game machine.
Cola-Fizz was found researching science.
That is about all that we have time for this time. I am not going to be documenting University, so the family will be back when they return (or if something interesting happens during the term).
I am just so glad that the 7th of 9 children was our heiress.
Chapter 5
Last time, the A (Amethyst and Apricot) kids went to boarding school, Cola-Fizz “adopted” Alex the cat, Cinnabar Melt was born and Bavarian Cream aged up and went to boarding school with his older sisters. Cinnabar then aged up and Dandelion Dew was born.
We open up to an adorable Dandelion Dew learning skills.
Cinnabar wastes away playing in the mirror. She has given the family three Social worker warnings for starvation because she never leaves this spot.
Cinnabar: “Feed me!”
Since there is plenty of food in this house, go feed yourself.
I finally gave Candlelight a new everyday outfit. This is also just seconds after the newest chimes were heard.
Dandelion Dew aged up a little while later. Cola-Fizz still has not wished for boarding school for them. It is the weekend, so I scheduled them and they will leave Monday morning anyway.
I have absolutely no need for this photo, but I liked it.
The girls are the first to ride the carousel that I wasted a tad too much money on.
I am really tired of the fairy tricks these two play. They are about to not be best friends anymore.
Candlelight explains where babies come from and the fact that they are getting a new brother or sister.
Cola-Fizz: “I would much rather watch the fishing channel, if you don’t mind.”
Candlelight: “Too bad.”
Amethyst and Apricot returned home teens. It’s a full moon, which sucks on lighting, so no more pics of them.
There we go. Here is Apricot.
And Amethyst.
The girls never got an official makeover, but off they go to boarding school…finally.
Candlelight went into labor and headed off to the hospital. She came out with a basket of babies.
Fertility treatment + kidz tv + kidz music = Quads even though my quad chances are set at 0 in woohooer. Dammit. I always forget that it happens until happens.
I cannot handle anymore. As of now, when babies age up to toddlers, then children will age up to teen…unless they are at boarding school.
Amethyst and Apricot are on the honor roll.
I just noticed this, so I am aging them up and moving them out. They will be up for download on their pages as teens.
Chapter 4
Welcome back! We are on a quest to have purple genes and a fairy. So far, not so good!
Amethyst was just heading off world in her taxi and I watched her leave for boarding school. It did not take me long to realize she ditched her cab and headed home. She was immediately re-enrolled.
Cola was worried for his shoes right about here. I was just happy for the next baby.
Cola hunted down Alex and they spent the day getting up to best friends.
Not a single choice for adopting him, so he got cheated into the house.
This caused a two hour follow of Amethyst as she went to every single cat item and cried over them.
Weirdo.
Got to have the potty face.
Oh! Baby time!
It’s a girl. Our first fairy! Too bad she has random black hair and her mother’s eyes. Welcome to the family, Cinnabar Melt.
They immediately got started on the next one.
Good luck you two. It’s almost fertility treatment time and I am not looking forward to it.
Bavarian Cream aged up to child and was enrolled in boarding school.
Grumpy little shit. All she does is cry.
We eventually get her potty face too.
Which led up to her growing up. As much as Cola hates his kids, this is the first one he did not want to enroll in boarding school. I guess that means Cinnabar Melt gets to hang around with us.
This is literally the most exciting thing going on in the house.
Until now! It’s another girl!
Too bad she is invisible. All I know is the fairy part at this point.
So, bad idea to age up a baby while still being held by mom. As soon as Candlelight picked her up, she appeared. She may not have perfect genetics, but she is the cutest thing yet. Dandelion Dew is adorable. I am in love. She has mom’s skin and eyes. She has Cola’s hair and fairy.
Hopefully, I get more time to play. They did not even start on the next child yet and Cola really needs to get back to University. Candlelight has actually advanced up to level 3 in music.
Chapter 3
I actually was only play for a little while, so have a half-assed update. The lighting mod was replaced.
Last time Candlelight gave birth to twins, Amethyst and Apricot. Neither one had a single genetic match to their father.
Be warned. Lots of toddler spam. I love these girls. Here’s a random pic of the girls reading.
And sleeping! Although I do have a hack that allows the swing to run for eight hours.
Someone forgot to tell Cola that he hates kids. He had actual wishes to potty train both girls and see them both age up well.
Apricot.
Amethyst
I was bummed that I did not have her hair in child size. This was the only one that looked good on her.
They do everything in tandem. Kinda creepy. I had just decorated their room when Cola decided that both girls needed to go to boarding school.
Candlelight randomly told Amethyst to rub the belly. I am hoping for the perfect kid to be in there.
Randomness is my middle name. Have a random photo of Candlelight burning lunch.
I watched Amethyst drag Cola upstairs to pillow fight. One shot and she knocked him out. She laughed, I was in hysterics. He is such a big baby!
The little bookworm was working at the potions table and missed the show.
For the second time, Candlelight bailed at work to go into labor. She will never get a promotion at this point (in my game, she wants to be a Rock Star).
It’s a boy! He is called Bavarian Cream.
Upon returning home we are sad. He has the purple skin and eyes, so we are getting close. He is adorable too.
Next time, the girls will leave for school, toddler training and hopefully another baby.
Chapter 2
Candlelight had spent the better part of the next couple of weeks decorating the house. She had just finished the kitchen and living room when the first pregnancy was made official.
Cola decided not to wait for Candlelight and immediately enrolled back in college.
Candlelight had just missed saying goodbye to her new husband. This did not stop her from waving and blowing kisses for the better part of two hours anyway.
Cola was quite happy to find that his house was still unoccupied. He fixed it up a bit.
A long while later, the rental was done. It was enough to make a person blind.
New Lighting mod, but Cola and I agree that it would only look good in Midnight Hollow. Going back to my old one on the next restart.
I am playing this triple speed until something interesting happens. Tonight, Cola made Hamburgers for an opp.
Cola: “The Meet and Greet is going on now. It sucks. That is all.”
After school party. Cola and I still agree that the red atmosphere is depressing.
Cola kept his loneliness at bay with nightly calls to Candlelight.
Cola: “I think I’ll study science next.”
Candlelight: “Not without me!”
Cola was invited to another party. He got sidetracked by the horsies. Both foals were hungry and so Cola helped them out.
Cola: “Can I…”
No! We need babies, not horsies.
First degree in hand, Cola heads home.
I decorated the formal dining room and the skill room. I even let them have fun stuff like this dartboard.
Candlelight: “Wooo, dartboard! Now let’s go to bed, I’m tired.”
Cola: “One more throw!”
Festival day! You can also follow this on my tumblr, less commentary, more to the point pics. I am not a very good tumblr person, so I will one day (hopefully) be able to set it up so that it does a chrono. Ha! I not only spent a long time (I’m tumblrtarded) setting up a new page and then spent another eon figuring the chrono posting out. You can now find a chronological posting order here. You’ll see some of the same pics, but mostly it’s these two talking.
Candlelight blew the others away. The first drop out left to pee her pants and I swear Cola walked away.
Poor baby.
Cola: “A snow cone? Really?”
Candlelight: “Not another word.”
This cat kept following Cola around, so I gave it a makeover.
Cat: “Pay attention to me!”
So, Cola ditched the game with Candlelight to love all over the cat.
This is what happens when you are nice to strays.
Cat: “Oh, leave to entertain sick children? I don’t think so.” *kills all newspapers on the lot*
Yay, the kids music and tv worked!
They only got to swing for an hour or two.
Color coordinated to their names. On the left is Amethyst Taffy and on the right is Apricot Swirl. If the goal was for Candlelight to have her perfect heiresses, we’d be done. They are identical to mom down to their pointy baby ears.
I have to say these two are adorable. I hope they all are.
The chime for pregnancy #2 was just heard. Stay tuned for the next installment.
Chapter 1
Welcome to my fourth attempt at the PGC. Hoping for better results, I am starting off with a male founder. Said male is Cola-Fizz Tart, spare from my Tart ISBI.
\
The house got started.
The first few days were spent reading all skill books and taking classes.
He got a lot of his skills between levels 3-5 and took the aptitude test for University. He scored 2399/2400.
Cola-Fizz traded his insane trait for dislikes Children and Eco-Friendly for something else. His LTW is to get 3 degrees. His first one will be Communications. He will need to do two terms, but I only have it set for one due to me getting bored.
After deleting all sims at University, I started replacing the new students with sims from the bin.
Cola really hit it off with Candlelight Mountain Mist.
She is super adorable.
After class that day, Cola wrote her a love letter. He hopes she will get over her aversion to his dip kiss attempts. She has refused every single one of them.
He got a letter back stating that she had been waiting her whole life for a letter like that.
Cola was always doing something to occupy his time.
Nothing much else happened that week. Candlelight agreed to be his roommate at one point.
He aced the term with an A. I think he only needs 6 credits for his first degree.
On his last day, Candlelight finally let him dip kiss her. She then agreed to be his girlfriend.
Cola is feeling quite proud of himself. After 15 rejections, he finally got what he wanted.
Thank you Paparazzi man for ruining the photo.
They had their first woohoo right before he went back home.
Cola did not even head home before calling up Candlelight and inviting her over.
Projecting an aura of soothing, Cola proposed right in the front yard.
She said yes and they got married right then and there.
They got started on the baby making in the hopes that only one will be needed.
Instead of rushing back to school, Cola decided to wait and take Candlelight too.
First one is on the way!
Failed
So, I failed again, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Here is what I did over the past few months. My game is broke and along with it all my saves…again. I have no information on the kids, but here they are in no particular order and no names.
This was the girlfriend of one of the boys. Acai and her did not get along and actually came to blows several times.
In all, there were about 15 kids with no perfect genetics to be had.
Then this happened. Even though nothing in this folder changed, it kept saying it was saved with missing EP data. So far, I have found library files for the other three legacies, but Acai and co. haven’t changed towns, so I do not have them in the bin. I am so bummed. Luckily, the Tart’s were in a different folder and I checked them out and they should be fine along with Hell Hollow.
As usual, when I lose something, I must immediately try again.
This time around, I am using my favorite sim, Ivory Mist. Previously, she was an assassin in Barnacle Bay. She was then caught by the cops and put in a prison challenge. She then escaped during a hurricane and became a mermaid. She has a role in my Hell Hollow BACC, as a good girl with good traits (also still a mermaid). She then enjoyed a threesome with Colin Kahekili and Cloudwalker’s Zane Mistry. She then voyaged over to Nirar’s Kahekili random legacy (squee!) and now, my poor mean spirited, evil assassin is now a mean, evil vampire who hates kids.
This time around I am aging babies up within 24 hours (or less), toddlers age up when they can walk,talk, potty and know their pegs and xylo. Kids age up when they master the blocks and get an A in school. Honor roll is not a requirement. High school students can age up after they get an A. Any non-heir child can move out with an exiting YA as long as they have earned that ages requirement.
Bad News
This was also posted on my main blog, but for the people who don’t follow it, here is what is going on.
As you might (or might not) know, I am a laid of medical transcriptionist. I got a call on Thursday afternoon from my old boss asking if I wanted to help out on a big project. I, know that that Dragon Valley and IP were coming out in the next two months, said yes.
My job is to update an address book of 950 doctors. 43 pages of doctors. Not the best thing in the world to do, but I am never going to turn down an easy $10 an hour to sit on the phone to update fax numbers. Anyway. My brain was fried after today’s batch of doctors (I knocked out 50 of the little bastards today), and I was doing some download maintenance because my sims3pack hairs have refused to show up since either Seasons or University.
I downloaded them again, but in package format this time and uninstalled my whole download folder and dcbackup. I was even smart enough to put my save folder on my desktop.
I then put all my downloads back in and reinstalled them, but they did not install because the game insisted that they were still installed. I loaded up my game and saw that everything looked weird. So, I quit without saving and uninstalled everything all over again.
This time I forgot to take my save folder out.
Saves Lost:
Acai Berry PGC
Name of the Game.
Random Town Jump
Silverflower Dreams Random.
25 Days Speed Legacy
My family that earns all my achievements including my first plantsim toddler.
Surviving saves in another folder:
Tart’s
Vinson’s
Freya WYD
Lavender Wishes
Supernatural Sundae’s.
I will post this on the relevant blogs also.

Chapter 2: Small Town
So, Rosewin’s Small Town is done and ready to be downloaded. I spent a lot of the day putting in housing and sims. I had good fun over the past little bit helping to test it out.
Nobody even attempted to enter their new house. Açaí decided to hurry up and get Tangle walking and talking.
Apple sat off to the side with her IF and ignored everyone.
Apple: Do you think if we take her down to the science center, I can trade her in for a replica mom?
Apple: Oh c’mon dad. You know it was a good idea.
Gaoth Garai stopped by to visit for a minute to chat and hopefully make a friend.
It did not take Apple long to find the pool.
She finally got hungry and ate some Brain Freeze since Acai doesn’t cook unless she is the one hungry.
She has to take a lot of breaks but she still tries to do Tangle’s training. Now he has to do the xylo, pegs and books.
The adoption guy showed up to drop off a new family member!
I am using TFM’s BI House, but doing a lot of changes. I deleted the bottom basement and put all the stuff in basements 1 and 2 instead. I also recolored a lot of stuff over a several hour period.
Apple hates homework, as a loner she hates school even more.
Someday, someday it will get done. I hope.
Acai passed by Talamh Garrai (same link as her sister, Gaoth), but was too stressed from work and kids to stop and chat.
She heads to the Greenhouse and proves that sunshine does not make a sim happy.
But there were a ton of collectible stuff for her to gather up. Not the bird though. She could only watch it.
I recolored the back yard items and saw the sun rising. So pretty!
I have the house recolored on the outside now with a new roof.
Apple was swimming and almost drowned herself again.
It’s not the best pic, but here is the newest member of the household. His name is Comet.
Peek-
– A –
Boooo!
They played together for hours. It was so cute.
Apple: Us rejects have to stick together.
I was bored while everyone was asleep and looked around town. I’m not sure where that hair came from, but here is Jill Cartwright
Tangle FINALLY had his birthday. He gained Eccentric.
Apple has a LTW of Illustrious Author.
Dan came over for a date, but spent most of the time playing with the kids.
Of course, that didn’t stop anyone from getting lullabies to ring out.
When she got this letter, she was done for.
She asked him to come over and after swimming around in the rain for a while, proposed to him.
He immediately gave her a massage.
Then they got married!
First bout of nausea!
Deric something or other: Brainnnnnz!
Tangle is oblivious. But why is he playing in the sand at 3am?
With her being a fairy (125 days to adult) there is no rush for potion making. I don’t want to lose Dan though, so I force her to work anyway.
Khalid Cartwright (brother of Jill) was seen while Dan was at the garden harvesting good stuffs for his Perfect Garden LTW. He is engaged to a sim I made named Chocolate Cheesecake. Jill is engaged to another sim I made Mint Tea Leaf.
Acai: Yay, I’m pregnant!
So odd. She likes being pregnant but hates the result.
Applelily finally reached her birthday. She was glad too.
She didn’t turn out half bad either.
Valentina: Something strange is about to happen…I can feel it.
True story, Val. Puppy time!
Hopefully, I will get better pics next time. I saved after the pups were born, but then my game crashed.
Next time, baby #3, Tangle will have a birthday and maybe Apple will too. I’m very slow going because I was setting up the world while playing.
