As a point of full disclosure, posts 1-6 were originally published back in 2023, Posts 7-19 were played but never blogged until 2024, by which point I was merely guessing the direction in which the Sims were being gently prodded. Furthermore, it became rather obvious that the genetically corrected pre-mades, acquired from SimGiggleGirl were not actually implemented into play. I also discovered that ACR required an adjustment to work correctly with the longer lifespans mod which was in place. Poor Consort Capp was absolutely knackered by Kara Asland’s desire for kids except ACR believed she was an Elder and therefore impregnable. I had silent pregnancy activated and no knowingly pregnant playable Sims so have absolutely no idea how widespread the issue was. The longer lifespans mod has been removed and a fix installed. Time will tell whether the issue has been resolved.
At first I intended to just not say anything and have the corrected Sims simply show up as if they had been there all along but some, most noticeably the Pleasant twins, Angela and Lilith, and Stella Roth (who featured in the last few posts) now have dark hair, whereas Juliette Capp is now blonde. Those are the most obvious changes, with many of the others simply being slight changes in face shape or eye colour.
I also added the Functional Milk Bottle Warmer by jacky93sims, and the mods Antibodies After A Sickness and More Dangerous Burglars & Enhanced Car Alarms! by LimeyYoshi, the Teen Graduation Yearbook by beestew, and Outerwear Change Made Smarter by jonasn after someone *cough* Helga Goth *cough* decided it was sensible to constantly go out in the snow in their underwear…
On moving to University, any Teen Townie Sims friendly with the new Young Adult Sim, have a 50% chance of being converted into a Young Adult. Any Townie Teen friends, of the new Young Adult Sim, have a separate 50% chance to also be converted into a Dormie. On moving to the Retirement Village, any Adult Townie Sims friendly with the Retiree, have a 50% chance of being aged up to Elder. Any Townie Elder friends, including those who have just recently aged up, of the Retiree have a separate 50% chance to also be moved to the Retirement Village, subject to sufficient space. At the earliest opportunity, all unpaid fines and/ or taxes will be retroactively applied. Impacting any challenge scoring appropriately.
