  So after my nasty breakup with Tanya I moved on, and into a new apartment. Along with a new place comes a higher rent, which meant I needed to find a roommate.

MIA... again!

Sorry I haven't been around in a few months, but life's been a tab busy. Hopefully I'll be back soon but until then happy simming!

We finally moved out of our small apartment and into what I call our dream home. I'm truly in love with the place, it has all that I've wanted, besides a pool.

I do my best trying to convince her that everything will be okay. I mean, I know it will. I have faith. Plus my attorney told me that things look good. I have to take him at his word, I mean, that's what I am paying him for.

The Birds and the Bees - How Reproduction works in my game

Reproduction in my hood has always had a place in my thoughts. For those who have been following my blog for a while knows that my game loves to throw surprises at me. And by surprises I mean pregnancies left and right. lol

But for me I seem to have found a good fit for my playing style. While I do have my sims, or the majority of them, use the birth control that comes with Inteen, accidents do and have happened. I know that ACR also comes with a birth control option, but for me I prefer Inteen more.

So I'm finally settled in my new place, and getting to know my neighbors. Needless to say I was a bit surprised to find that Richard Smith was one of them. WE didn't really get along in college because of Nora, but now, we actually do!

It's so exciting finally starting high school. Though it's going to take some getting used to rising before the sun is up to attend school. But that's a moot point, I'm just glad to be here!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! School Year 2016 - 2017

Circle of Life: Birthdays for Summer 2016

This summer there are many birthdays to celebrate. First up is baby Desteni, to parents Justin Kim and Ginger Newton.

SAT's and college bound!

So, like so many others I have grown tired of my educational limitations for my simmies. On my main site (which I no longer use, I mainly use this blog now) the bar was set with focus on Cleaning, Logic, and Mechanical to get into university. Students graduating from high school had to have at least 6 bars in the three listed skills above, and at least three scholarships to attend college. It's worked for me a while, but with adding the harder grades mod, and me just growing bored of this rout, I've decided to tweak my college requirements yet again. I think this will be my third or fourth attempt!

Narrated: Amanda




So my long lost brother returned home this summer. I don't even remember him. And when I would ask mom or dad about him, and why he was gone, they would always blow me off.

Sand, Surf, and Sorrow

August, Summer 2016, Tynisha Corbin and Kirk are both 39, Kobi is 15, and Natalie is 7. (Anan Reed is 15 and Lana Corbin is 20). Last update.

Summer has been pretty uneventful. I've decided to take up surfing, which isn't going to well. But Anan still cheers me on from the safety of the beach. By summer's end though I'm certain I'll be able to hang ten.

She Blinded Me with Magic

July, Summer 2016, Zayllia and Christopher Shahan both are 36,  Bri is 17, Willow and Seth both are 4. Last update.

"Wow! Time really does fly, and it's not only when you're having fun. Not that the twins aren't fun, but when they were toddlers they were a handful. Now they are four and will be heading off to school this fall. It's a little bitter sweet. I'm glad to see them growing up, but with them entering school, it means that Bri will soon be leaving, and moving out.

You Belong to Me

July, Summer 2016, Rupert Cotton is 37, Sharla Ottomas is 33, and Jordan is 7.  (Samantha Ottomas is 63, Peter is 64, and Amanda is 13.) Last update.

"Not much goes on at the house during the summer. The only change to our daily schedule is that Jordan isn't in school. She loves spending most of her time indoors reading. She doesn't get that from me, I'm guessing from my mom.

"I can honestly say that this summer break I was looking forward to one hundred percent. Not just with the goings on with Justin and Ginger. That's a mess contained within itself, and I'm just glad to be done with it.

I wanna be a rock star!
