Checo And Lisa Are More In Love Than Ever. Seriously, If I Leave Them To Their Own Devices, This Is What

Checo and Lisa are more in love than ever.  Seriously, if I leave them to their own devices, this is what they do.  I love it!  

Malcolm is my favorite.  Jodie was spying on him with her telescope (which is a super powerful one, since it can see him all the way in Downtown) and he came over to yell at her.  He made his angry face...but became best friends with her at the same time.  He’s just a marshmallow. :)

I’ve seen a few posts about Tumblr eating asks lately.  I tested it by sending some to myself and, sure enough, they didn’t show up.  If you have sent me an ask recently, please let me know.  I feel like I don’t get a lot of asks anyways, but I’d hate for someone to send something and have it get eaten before I even knew about it...

Sorry this didn’t go up with the end of the round.  I had it in drafts and forgot to finish it!  I hope you all enjoyed the Ramirez round.  I certainly did.  Look below the cut for a few background details and my thoughts on what happened.  

The Ramirezes are generally an easy family to play, especially after the chaos of the Tinker house. We only managed two of the three challenges this time, though, because I failed to throw a roof raising party for Tessa. (Whoops!) On the bright side, Checo did meet the extra challenge of getting fit again, and we did have baby Carmen, so I think that makes up for it. 

 I love how Tessa grew up, and I love her homework face. She really is a gorgeous sim. I’m already matchmaking Tess and Justin Kim. He is going to grow up when I get to his family this round, and I think the two of them would be good together. They both love their dogs. I can see them with a dog training business maybe. We’ll see what happens with attractions and aspirations and such, I guess. 

I really don’t know why Checo couldn’t earn a gold fishing badge. I tried to look up how long it takes (or how many fish, or whatever requirements there might be) but couldn’t find any info. It could be a mod conflict, or some other game glitch. I’m not terribly worried. I just kind of wish I had used all the time he spent fishing to do something else. Ah well. At least I have 47 pictures of him fishing in various locations. 

I feel like there’s always just a little story tucked into the Ramirez round. I liked writing the conversation between Checo and Lisa about her pregnancy. I want to do more with their friendship with the Tinkers next time around. Maybe a double date? Tessa could babysit. 🙂 

I’m eager to see baby Carmen grow up. I think she is going to be lovely, just like her sister. I’m also excited to see how Tessa really does as a big sister. 

 The Ramirezes are just a fun family to play. I love them a lot. Hopefully we will see them around town a lot for the rest of the round. In the meantime, the Larsons are up next, and I’m planning on adding something to their mini-challenge to make them a bit more...exciting. I haven’t started playing them yet, but I’ll let you know when I have posts queued up again.  In the meantime, thanks again for reading and for all the likes and comments.  See you soon!

Checo and Tessa are both super excited to meet little Carmen.  Yay!

99. for Jill and Buck? :)

Okay. I’m assuming 99 is from the most recent list of prompts I posted, so that means the prompt is “You’re not crazy”. In future, it would help if you sent the actual phrase the prompt goes with. —“You’re not crazy.”Buck jumped. “What?”“Sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s just me.” Jill held up her hands. “I just...I heard what those guys said.”“Yeah, so did the rest of the shopping center,” Buck muttered.“Well it’s not true. You’re not crazy. I believe you.”“Great. One person believes me. I feel so much better.”“My family believes you too,” she said. “Mom, Dad, Johnny, they all believe you. So do my uncles. Mom had to tell Uncle Vidcund he wasn’t allowed to go interrogate you, actually. He’s really interested in lycanthropy.”“Tell him I’ll gladly switch with him,” Buck muttered. “He can try getting hairy every night and see how he likes it.”Jill giggled. “He would love that. Seriously, he’ll probably ask you to bite him if he sees you. But that’s not the point. My point is, you’ve got about half of Strangetown believing you. You have the whole Smith-Curious clan behind you. Don’t let a few idiots get to you.”“It would be easier if I wasn’t related to those idiots.”“I know.” She held out her arms. “Do you want a hug?”He nodded and she wrapped her arms around him. “Why don’t you come home with me?” she suggested. “Mom’s making spaghetti.”Buck looked up at the sky. The setting sun was turning the clouds pink and orange. “I’ll eat anything,” he said. “Just...don’t mind my table manners.”“Uncle Lazlo is coming to dinner,” Jill laughed, slipping her hand into his. “You’ll be fine.”—Hope you enjoyed, Anon! I had fun writing this. 😊 Thanks for the prompt!
