Cappuccino Reading Corner Set

I have a new set to share with you. Cappuccino Reading Corner Set.

You can find a reading chair, cushions (To put on a chair, "moveObjects on" cheat needed.) two shelves with new slots, a bookshelf (working), end table, decoratives, different size books and a cup of coffee.

 I would like to say big thanks to everyone who help me, while I was working on slots and bookshelf. And, big thanks to Murano for his great tutorial,  " How do I edit the slots of an object?".

Summertime

I ralised I havn't written anything in a long time. I guess studying takes up a lot of time. But now it summer break, and no studying for almost 10 weeks. But since we're moving in october, I have a lot to do anyway. And we are going to paint our house to, and it's big!

Yes, I almost forgot, I've got angaged since my last post! On the morning of the 18th of april, my boyfriend fell down on one knee by my bed and asked my to marry him, and of course I said yes!

So now I'm also planning our wedding. The big day is planned to the 18th of june 2011.

Have a great summer!

The Goth Sr. Family

Gunther Goth brought his family--his wife Cornelia and their son Mortimer--from the old country.  After a bit of hard work and a bit of good fortune, he founded--with a bit of assistance from the Landgraabs--what would one day become Old Town.

Eventually, as is the natural progression of things, Mortimer left to strike out on his own, leaving behind a gracefully aging Gunther and Cornelia.  With only each other and their cats, Hecuba and Menelaus, for company, Gunther left the life of a professor emeritus and became a College Dean.  Cornelia focused on Society (with a capital S) and, given her wealth and her family connections, became the focal point of what was developing into a rather elite and exclusive grapevine.

When Mortimer moved back into the neighborhood with his new bride, Bella, Gunther and Cornelia couldn't be happier...at least not until their first grandchild, Cassandra was born.  Glad to take a backseat to their son, Gunther and Cornelia became the Goth Srs., allowing Mortimer to step forward as a new player in Society.

After incorporation into Old Town, the Goth Srs. led a more reclusive life than before.  Gunther continued on as College Dean, and Cornelia continued with the Sim City Bridge Society, continued hosting high teas, and continued studying the shapes of people's heads.  Cassandra didn't come over as often (Bella was working to bond with her strange, unusual daughter), saddening both Gunther and Cornelia.  All that changed when a certain woman--two or three years older than Mortimer--arrived in Old Town and calmly told Gunther that she was his daughter.  This news stunned Gunther and Cornelia and Mortimer, certainly, but also all of Old Town as scandal seemed to raise its ugly head.  However, the young woman's story quickly proved that there had been no wrong-doing at all, just a bit of pre-marital hanky-panky.

Before Gunther and Cornelia moved from the old country--indeed, before Gunther and Cornelia even met--Gunther had served in the military.  While on a week's leave with his friends, they did a bit of traveling and wound up in a Danish tavern.  After becoming rather intoxicated, Gunther wound up in bed with a beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, buxom Scandinavian girl.  As they had to return to their unit, Gunther and his friends left the next morning.  What Gunther didn't know was that the one-night stand was sufficient to result in a pregnancy and, later, a baby girl, whom her mother named Hildegaard...or Hildy for short.  Gunther finished his term, went home, met and married Cornelia, and had a son with her:  Mortimer.  He had no idea that he also had a daughter.

Hildy, upon her mother's death, gathered up her belongings and moved into Old Town.  She hadn't planned on settling there--or even meeting Gunther.  But, upon learning that the man who might be her father was the town patriarch, she naturally had some questions...questions that her mother had never bothered to answer (or known the answer to).

Cornelia, naturally, became a bit upset that her husband had kept a secret from her all those years, but after getting to know Hildy, accepted that it hadn't been a secret so much as an unknown truth.  She graciously invited Hildy to stay with them until she found a place of her own.

Hildy, however, upon discovering that much of the family's wealth had been passed along to Mortimer and that Gunther and Cornelia were surviving--not living, but surviving--on his meager salary as College Dean, decided that she couldn't simply abandon the father she was just getting to know and the woman she was quickly becoming good friends with.  She began working as a Department Store Clerk, and--capitalizing on her striking Scandinavian features--became a much sought-after model.  In no time at all she became a Fashion Columnist.  But the income wasn't enough...not yet.

Around this time, Hildy met and fell in love with a struggling Subway Musician named Charles.  With her support and the permission of Gunther and Cornelia--who allowed them to marry and move in with them permanently--Charles worked his way through the industry, finally becoming a Rock Star.  Now, with a substantially improved financial situation, Hildy was ready to settle into her career, let Charles settle into his, and allow Gunther and Cornelia to retire completely and not worry about anything.

Gunther, however, refused to retire and Cornelia--with the finances no longer in dire-straits--resumed her high teas and bridge games.  Moreover, Hildy had to go on maternity leave, not once but twice, thanks to her loving, virile, vigorous husband.  Now, with two children--Emily and Arthur--to take care of and whose needs (and wants) needed to be met, Gunther had more reason to remain at the college.

Fortunately, though, Cornelia is happy to have the chance to spend time with her step-grandchildren (her own grandchildren are infrequent visitors after all) and help raise them while Hildy and Charles work.  She has even taken it onto herself to find ways to earn additional money to provide the children with allowances.  At a suggestion from Mama Hick, whom she knew through a mutual acquaintance, she looked into crafting Garden Gnomes or carving Stone Gargoyles.  The work was a bit much for an elderly woman, though, so she also looked at making homemade butter, canning preserves, and harvesting honey.  It isn't much, but she makes enough on the side to keep the children happy and contribute a bit to the family budget.

Hecuba and Menelaus, who only had the other for entertainment and society, now enjoyed the petting and hugging and games they play with Emily and Arthur.  They find the two children a welcome change from Cassandra, who always made them uncomfortable with the intensity of her observations of them.

Family base income: $2850 (College Dean-$700, Fashion Columnist-$1050, Rock Star-$1100)

***Update: 18 August 2010***

Despite Cornelia's contributions to the household income through selling Garden Gnomes, churning butter, spinning gold thread, and making preserves, Charles and Hildy felt it better if one or the other of them could earn more money.  So, Charles left the Music Industry and instead worked hard to become a Venture Capitalist.  It's only $200 more, but every little bit helps.  So, the income changes as follows:

Family base income: $3050 (College Dean-$700; Fashion Columnist-$1050; Venture Capitalist-$1300)

Stories of Mara Grimmer #5

Hello everyone,

the 5th Part of my Story is ready and submitted. I hope you will like it.

Nice day, Guslucky

I'm back .... had no Internet for 7 days

I am finally back online & on TSR after a week of not having a Internet Connection.

I've spent 2 hours last Thursday to my internet provider which didn't resolve the issue. I went and bought a new router today however, I had to ring them as I still wasn't connecting.

Hey presto ... within 20 minutes of sorting out the settings on the router .... i jumped for joy because i was re-connected to the Internet.

I have missed being on TSR & submitting my walls and floors

Having no Internet is not good for me as I don't watch TV.

Anyway, I am back now so watch out for my new items coming soon. :)

Another Lot Soon

As I mentioned in my prior entry, I did get a lot done this weekend. I repeat, A lot. One. Uno. I'm so disappointed. I thought surely I could get two done. The one I did do is bigger than my last two and frustrated me to no end with roof issues. But I got it done to my liking and it's fully furnished and decorated, ready for sims. All that is left is to snag some photos of it, do the techie stuff, and upload it. That should only take me three more days. LOL I didn't play at all this weekend so I still want to put some sims in the house and let them run around for a bit before uploading it. My simmies always try out my lots for me, and if I can happen to catch them in a shot or two, even better.

I also had to run my game with custom content disabled. Darn thing won't uninstall a piece of CC and I get an error message and the game won't run. Hmph. Yeah, yeah, I read up on a few things in the forums and I'll mess with that before gutting the whole thing and reinstalling. It's a little soon for me to reinstall. Sheesh. I just need to get the bad file out of the game somehow and I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe I broke it. I dunno. I won't think too hard on it since it's easier to just reinstall than troubleshoot for 6 weeks THEN reinstall anyway. I contacted EA but they just said they got my email and  asked if I had tried troubleshooting measures before contacting them. Um, not to be too picky, but... read my email guys. All the questions they listed for me to answer were already covered. Duh. Whatever guys. I'll figure it out. I always do.

Time for randomness! So, can anyone tell me why babies have favorites? I mean seriously, how does a baby know what falafel is? How does it differentiate between the music genres at such a young age? It can't even talk yet but somehow it knows it likes Roots best? And turquoise. Turquoise? Really? Red, yellow, blue, maybe green and the others, but turquoise? What? How does a baby know? Get a clue EA. I'd like to see the favorites change with every age, not some stupid reward thing. Just make it part of aging. C'mon, not every little girl loves pink until she's old and gray. I dunno. It just seems like a really unnecessary thing when a sim is born. "WAIT! It doesn't have its favorites assigned! You CAN'T take it home yet!" I will add though that the little blankie bundle of joy is much better than the poor naked things we got in the Sims 2. Poor naked babies freezing to death on the kitchen floor.

I still find the social worker coming to take them away, ha ha, from child abuse amusing. It doesn't happen to my families but it still amuses me. Wow. I was a kid in the 80s and man, nobody gave a rat's hindquarters if you were starving or getting beaten. Mommy was too busy with her new job to bother with you and don't ever ask Dad for anything or you'll get smacked because he's overtired, overworked, and underpaid. Babysitter? What's that? I tell ya what, a sim kid wouldn't last a day in my life. Why when I was a kid, I had a key to my house, a bike, some money from mowing the lawn burning a hole in my pocket, I could cook, clean, watch other kids be miserable, feed myself, bathe myself, and by gum I got that homework done by myself every night too. Who the heck needs a babysitter or parents? LOL Ah, the 80s. Good times.

I had to discontinue these storie much to my displeasure. My computer crashed resulting in losing everything (sims, cc, stories themselves). I am sorry and I hope to not disappoint any of my readers, and I hope that you read my next story that is coming out in the near future. Thanks for understanding.
