LEPacy challenge: The wedding of Lucy and Cycl0n3

 LEPacy challenge: The wedding of Lucy and Cycl0n3.

I used to simply have my sims have a private wedding and get on with their lives, but lately I've really enjoyed trying to put on a formal, public wedding and see what goes wrong. Here is a run-down of Lucy and Cycl0n3's wedding.

So far I'm only playing with the base game, so I'm limited on things like wedding dresses, etc. I'm also not using anything marked in my build/buy as store content, which means no wedding arches. Because I don't have control of Cycl0n3 yet, I decided trying to have the wedding on the home lot would make things easier to control.  I wanted to get some good wedding pictures. I tried using the rose trellis as background, and my goal was to have them get married in front of it, in the back yard which I had set up with the wedding cake and chairs for the guests. 

*** In retrospect, the wedding cake was probably store content and didn't come out until Generations, but this was an oversite.

Here's what actually happened.

The guests arrived and I sent Lucy to stand by the trellis in the back yard. Then I clicked "get married." She went to the front yard and found Cycl0n3, and they stood in the front yard.  I figured they were going to get married there, so I moved the trellis as a backdrop behind them.


This is where I thought the action would happen. (Thanks for getting dressed up for the occasion, Cycl0n3!) However, Lucy went inside and got their toddler daughter Stormy, which makes sense - she should be able to witness her parents' marriage.

When they came back, there was a big smooch, so I thought there might have been a glitch and I missed the ring exchange.  I moved the trellis again.


The guests watched from the front yard. They were carrying on, so I assumed the wedding was happening.


However, when I clicked on the cake in the back yard so it could be cut, I got the "only married couples can cut the cake" message, so I knew they hadn't gotten married yet.  I clicked on them and "get married" again.  They hunched up tight against the house, so I couldn't move the trellis behind them.


Oh well, at least now they can cut the cake. (I moved the trellis yet again.)


I'm glad I took this picture when I did, because the very next instant, Cycl0n3 gave a big, "bored" yawn and walked off.  This left Lucy to cut the cake by herself.


I love Nancy Landgraab's pant suit. Very elegant. Simis is expressing his disapproval of Cycl0n3's behavior. I found Cycl0n3 inside dancing to the stereo, and made him come out and have some cake.


Lucy had to pee so bad she nearly wet herself, but the good news is she made it to the bathroom in time. The bad news is she had to deal with a clogged toilet.

Then she had to deal with a broken sink.


Meanwhile some of the guests thought it was appropriate to turn on the sprinkler in the garden and play in it.


There was some dancing, and then the guests went home while Cycl0n3 and Lucy cleaned up the mess.



What's next? To be continued.

Tiny Town Challenge Part 1

Image
 I started my version of Deligracy's Tiny Town Challenge. Hers is for the Sims 4, so I had to adapt it. I also created a Builders Version, but I'm trying the gameplay version. Here are the rules. MODIFIED TINY TOWN CHALLENGE The aim of this challenge is to build 7 tiny homes on one lot, for 7 sims that match their desires and skills. The Rundown: - Each sim has a set skill that you must utilize in order to fund their tiny home build. For example Frank Stem likes gardening, so you must sell things he grows to fund his Tiny House build.  - You must also represent each sim's favorite style and color in the build (see sim characters below) - You can only work on one sim's house at a time, move each sim in individually as you "unlock" them.  -To "unlock" the next sim, you must complete the previous sim's home.  How to play: - Start by moving your first sim into the Tiny Town lot. (64x64 size recommended.) - To select your first sim, you could use an ...

4 Seasons #7: Aspen and Vinny - The bachelor party and miscellaneous observations.

Image
 At the beginning of Spring, Aspen and Vinny had their first spat. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Vinny channeled  his obnoxious inner nerd and insulted Aspen's intelligence.  She was mad at him all day, and they spent the day apart doing their own things.  Too much togetherness can be a bad thing.  At any rate, they quickly patched things up. This woman is bad news.  Her name is Hayley Thibordeaux. She's married to a guy named Garth and both of them are hopeless romantics. She was incessantly flirting with Vinny. At first, Vinny seemed immune to her advances.  He enthused about his upcoming wedding, etc., but she was persistent, and he finally flirted back. I sent him home before he got into too much trouble. Time passed, and she aged up to an elder.  The last interaction she and Vinny had, she was asking him for money.  He didn't give her any, however.  The Meyers' apparently aren't getting along too well lately. According to ...
