Grow up Glitch

Irilly ages to (forced) elder. She never drank elixir but wasn't aging up. None of the sims who have returned from Uni are aging normally. I decided to age them up using a cheat when their spouse ages. That's the easiest way to keep track of their age. I'm hoping Irilly will age now as an elder. If not, I'll have her die of old age a day or two after her spouse.

I took the pool out and played around with some other pool shapes.

There are about three sims who found their way into the pool maze. If they have no interest in exiting, they swim around as if they are lost. Since they are sims, they have an inner program that allows them to actually find something when they need or want it. They only way any of them will drown will be if they can't get out because the ladder is blocked by other sims. Otherwise, I don't "expect" any accidental drownings from this set up. But if it happens, it happens. gggg

G5 as a New Teen

G5 plays with a workbench toy, plat deaths

I've sent toddlers and children to spin on this toy. Its fun to watch them, but doesn't build a skill so rarely end up using it. I added the shots because I rarely use it.

This little guy gets off dizzy.

I didn't plan this. The little guy recovers from his "spinning fun" to go to Dew U.'s funeral.

Dew U's spouse Renee got $20k (top amount). Their relationship is the highest possible. Oddly, he gives all his OFB shops to Eye Hatesims. (interesting)

Just a few hours later, Renee joins her husband. She leaves her child Irilly $10k. In my experience, that is the highest amount a child can get. Malcolm, as a friend, gets $1k. All of her OFB shops went to Malcolm. I'm not sure if the game is suppose to work this way or if the OFB shops are given to another member of the household by some random picking. From what I've read, it is suppose to go to the person the sims has the best relationship with. In my game experience, this isn't what I've seen. As long as someone is living on the lot, the shop has always remained on the lot.

I guess Dew U. wasn't happy with G5 throwing up just before his funeral. First night, and he haunts the new kid in the house. ggg

Move Graves to Community Graveyard

These shots are just for the purpose of points. I moved three stones into one of the sims backpacks, then clicked on one of the other stones and picked "move all stones" then picked the community lot. (5 more pet stones)

This is a shot of all the 7 pool party deaths. Next shots are just of the ghosts poofing up and then leaving.

Doom dog is at the top left. I didn't want to move him, I wanted to see his haunting ghost. I'll visit the graveyard and bring him back to the lot.

G5 Arrives and a Pool Party.

The social worker brings G5 to the house. The child is one of the kids from the toddler mania challenge.

To celebrate the arrival of the fifth generation, Eye decides to throw a pool party. Eye is in another room calling friends to join the party. Wood U. is saying hello to his new son.

First of about 6 guests at the party.

Gardner asked if he could join the party after his work was done. Sure, why not.

Mr. Big is waiting to jump in the pool.

I send one of my playable sims to the pool. That will make it easier to get "the pool party" off to a blast.

The coach arrives and heads to the pool.

The pet police joins the fun.

Eye's relationship to the cop was a little low. I wasn't sure he would come over. This is the pop up I got. (he he) He doesn't think it could hurt if he came over. To bad for him. He should have said he needed to wash his hair.

The police arrive and join the others in the pool.

My playable sim decides she is done with her swim, so exits the pool.

oops.... the ladder is gone. I didn't see that coming, did you?

I'm mighty mouse!!!

I guess G5 sim wants to join the party. (screams.... NO NO NO... freezes game cancels action to dive in.... )

Opps to late, he jumps in. (shakes head)

He swims to the far end of the pool.

(holds breath) Ok, hurry up and get out already.

Sheesh, that was close. Diving board is gone and the ladder. Time to wait.... and wait.... and wait.... and wait.... Then finally....

The mailman is the first to go. (I jut realized I didn't' get a shot of her getting in the pool. She must have snuck in before I started asking sims to get in.)
