Arielle wants to learn martial arts. This looks promising.

Arielle: Hyah!

Some horses show up. The grey one seems to want a trough.

So I provide one. Also a salt lick.

Stupid horse then just walks away and stands at the other end of the lot.

Arielle has a failed sing-a-gram with Kisa. Gabby and Miles show up as well.

Creepy vampire Miles.

Gabby: Awww, but he´s still my littel cutie-pie.

Whatever you say.

Arielle meets Shaoran. I don´t know, what they are talking about, there was no fire recently.

They bond over their mutual clumsiness.

Randolph takes the kids to the summer festival.

Crystal thinks, that´s a marvelous idea of him.

Liam seems bored.

But he finds some random kid to play football with.

Cute elder Randolph.

I gave Arielle our motive mobile, because her needs drop like crazy otherwise. It fills all of them up, apart from hydration. I call that bad programming, EA.

And what is this supposed to be?

Arielle: This car has a really good all-round-vision.

… right.

At least I can improve the paint job.

As this town doesn´t come with inhabitants, I dropped some random families from other towns in it, including the Ziggfields from Midnight Hollow. So Arielle meets Iman Alia.

I gave her a tiny makeover, mostly reducing her heavy make-up.

Arielle got invited to a pool party. Of course, there´s no pool. In the backround we have Beverly, David Ziggfield, some unknown face one, and Kisa with her new husband, Theodor Medina, whom I brought over from Isla Paradieso.

Beverly is her usual self.

 

The only person Beverly ever really got along with, is her husband Wigbald. Which is kind of cute with her being evil and him being good.

Arielle has a much better conversation with David. They both love music.

Back at home there´s a fridge crisis.

Catherine: Liam is in the way!

Liam: I´m in the way…

Crystal: Ghost don´t have that problem.

The actual problem is the refrigerator glitching every other day. I have to replace it nearly every sim-week.

Did I ever mention, that Crystal is a djinn? ´Cause she is!

Before I moved Miles and Gabby out, I fished out all of Gabby´s selfies out of her camera. I think, she´s got an addiction.

 

So this is chapter 100. Yay me, I guess.

I was totally fed up with Isla Paradiso and EA-worlds in general, so I downloaded a world from the exchange. This is Cake Island II by Rflong7.

It´s pretty awesome. I have been playing with create-a-world, and actually have one working world, but this really made me ponder about my effort.

Every lot is custom made. I especially like this little pond/swimming pool.

Here we are. There´s a godzilla right next door.

Everyone is behaving like usual, though.

So this is part two of my plan for Miles.

I love how gentle sim vampires are with their lovers, compared to how they treat aquaintances. Although poor Miles looks frightened.

Gabby: You sure about this?

Miles: Y-yes…

Gabby: Here we go!

 

Seems to hurt.

 

 

Miles: Guh.

Gabby: Yummy!

Miles: And now we wait?

Gabby: Yes!

Miles: Okay, in the meantime, let´s make out!

Gabby: Totally.

I built a lot just around the corner for the ghosts.

Everyone is present and activ on this fullmoon night.

 

Occasionaly my sims bake autonomously something they can´t eat, like a birthday or wedding cake. They are pretty angry when that happens.

Miles seems to be increasingly wary of the sun.

I could not not take this shot.

This is a cake with no limitations. Isolde made it.

Arielle: It´s really tasty, but I´m not that sure about the flames.

I made a point to feed Miles only really nice food during his transformation days.

Liam: That´s an excellent idea!

He has to resort to juice packages in the future, after all.

Gabby: They are totally tasty.

You are not very convincing, you know.

It´s time!

 

 

 

 

So?

Ah.

Miles: I´m feeling pretty well, actually.

Vampire Miles looks a bit creepy. I moved him and Gabby out that night, not because of creepyness, but because I needed the room.

Have a happy undead life out in story-progression land!

Last time little Crystal was born. Her Grandpa loves her.

It´s a bit sad, that she isn´t green like her mom.

Liam loves to do ballet. He also does the ballet club at school.

This baby doesn´t lack attention.

Gabby wins.

But sim babies are boring, let´s age her up!

Crystal: Nah, I´m good.

No breast feeding in the Sims 3.

I seriously considered buying Sims 4, the base game was really cheap at cyber monday. But NO TODDLERS. No.

Arielle is totally smitten with the little girl.

Randolph drew this. Never seen it before.

Learning to walk.

Learning to fly.

Grandma helps with the xylophone.

Arielle grows up to young adult and I totally have no photos of her.

She rolls proper. Her lifetime wish is vocal legend.

There are so many things wrong in this picture, and I don´t think, it´s the lack of an umbrella.

I always forget, that the toddlers can ride these things until some adult rolls the wish.

Gabby finally got her grandchild and she´s making the most out of it.

Arielle tries to swim to her graduation, and when I cancel the action, she graduates in the middle of nowhere.

She wished for an aquarium and takes good care of the fishes.

A mermaid with an aquarium. Is that weird or cute?

Her first Sing-A-Gram!

Liam talks to this random stranger and has the option to „show“ something. He shows a pirouette! RS seems thrilled.

It´s already time for him to become a teenager. He rolls easily impressed.

What´s wrong?

Liam: I didn´t get a cake!

Sorry about that. But your dad made these nice cupcakes. With a cherry on top!

Liam: Ah, you´re right!

So this guy steadily refuses to die. He´s well over 200 days now, with my normal lifespan set to 128. So I decided to fulfill a wish, that I actually never locked in. First step is this.

 

Hi, there, young Miles!

Step two will take place, when we move. And we will move soon, because Isla Paradiso is driving me insane.

But as long as we are here, Arielle can do some diving.

At night, because bad time management.

She catches some interesting fishes and finds some treasure.

Then she swims in a cave and ends up at some beach. Okay, enough of that.

Crystal ages up as well. She rolls animal lover.

Last time Connie and Randolph got married.

Connie: Why do I have a toddler at my age?

Yeah, sorry, I guess, that´s my fault.

Arielle ages up at full moon. I can´t remember, why she´s in costume. It´s probably halloween. I do remember, that I was afraid, it would mess up her aging.

Added zombie.

Lovely outfit. She rolls green thumb.

Hi, Fiona!

Liam, you look a bit demonic here.

Liam: Hehehe.

Arielle got her makeover.

She seems to be a good mix of her parents.

Unicorn interlude.

Randolph is in the vicinity and offers refreshments.

 

So, Arielle´s tail is blue.

Totally blue.

The scales on her land legs are pink.

I could change it, but I think, it´s funny.

It´s Liam´s birthday!

Oops.

Yeah, the toddler is crying. Never mind the FIRE in the living room.

Randoph channels his mum, and puts it out.

Beverly thinks a party with a fire sucks, and leaves, just as the fire brigade pulls up and fines us for a false alarm.

Wigbald comes late and brings a pie.

He´s an elder now, but still looking fierce.

I bought another cake, but it kind of didn´t work, so Liam takes a little nap and ages up in the middle of the night instead.

He rolls daredevil.

Oh, my. That´s a cute one.

He picked the coat himself. Who am I to change it?

Liam: Pink suits me.

I got the message, that Kym married some Jaron Weissweiler. My game is a bit wonky when it comes to distinguish between male and female names, so I send Randolph to explore.

Nope, my straigt-as-a-ruler Kym married a guy. That´s actually the first autonomous gay marriage in my game, so I got pretty excited.

I give him a little makeover. So this is the love of Kym´s golden years. He´s good, family oriented, artistic, nursering and an angler. They live in a little house with an orange tabby kitten.

They are so cute, I saved them to the library. Some day, when I´m feeling brave, I may start a story based legacy with them.

Randolph: Uhm, this is getting a bit awkward. Can I go home now?

Sure, sweetie.

Only two days later I got the notification, that Kym died. That mad me sad.

Isolde isn´t feeling so well.

She discovers that she´s pregnant, while Miles and Gabby are having a little tiff outside.

I don´t think I had combined pregnancy book reading since Violetta and Paul.

Isolde, aren´t you cold?

Isolde: Nope. I´m a djinn!

Oh, okay.

She has to be the happiest pregnant sim ever, alway cooing over her belly.

Randolph is pretty fit for his age.

It´s a snowflake party.

Isolde: I think, I´m getting the baby now.

Sure, go ahead.

Isolde: This hurts quite a bit!

Connie: Aaaaahhhh!

Kisa: Is she done yet?

Here we have little Crystal. She rolls good and loves the heat. Liam doesn´t seem to be thrilled.

Liam: I bet, she´ll scream at night.

Quite possible.

It´s still enough time for presents.

 

Miles gives his granddaughter her first bottle. I never thought, he will live to see her, but he´s stubborn that way.
