Warning Pic spam and long post ahead!

I am working on three stories at the monet so this is a long and prob confusing thread, it may be best to more one story to the challenge section, let me know if you would prefer that

Ok No.1 is for Ulli, Jenn and Sugah.
I had a download spree here yesterday and many of the items made there way to my newly called "Beach Side Sisters" story.
Two sims are Rhiannon and Emily by Jenn (with little tweaks to clothing)
House is by the wonderful Ulli who asked I show her what I did with it.
And Some of the Recolours are by the lovely Suagh.

Anyway without further ado meet the Route Sisters:




There absoultly stunning abode which looks (if its possible) even better ingame than in pictures, a highly recommended download:




And lastly the starts of my decorating atempts for their living room:





My second story is my own little challenge of two twin sisters, both Fortune sims who want to own a business empire:


A picture of their house(Shop at the front, House st the bsck):

(Sorry for the dark pic it was night before I remembered I need to take a shot of the house


Day 1 and 2:

Learning to paint(badly).

Practising cooking, part 1:




Practising cooking, Part 2:




Firemen starting to get a little annoyed at this point. (this all happened in 2 sim hours)

Starting up the home buisness:


Going to work:


The cooking is Improving:


(I did also have a first day of buisness but appear to have forgotten to take pictures

However I took about 6 pictures of cooking for some reason


Lastly Chapter 2 of my legacy:
Lucky geine, Ugly sim alert, Skill building, more nature and still no house.

I'm gonna have a go at actually writing a story form the sims point of view but please be warned, my writing needs work and lots of it!

Hi all its Julie again, I've had another fun week on the outskirts of BellaDonna, I had a bit of Luck on monday:


A strange lady dropped this off.
Me being me I decided to have a rub



I'm sure in any other town this would freak me out!

Instead I wished for wealth as I'm still sleeping in a tent:


And almost got hit on the head, you think they would think of a less dangerous route:


I got three promotions this week as well so I'm ona roll at work:


I'm lovin working on my nature and tinkering hobbies:




I can now talk to plants, why I needed to learn this I don't know, I'm already nuts enough to talk to them without learning:


However the fruit is much better now, and I have a nice large space:


I got top hobby for nature, so it went in pride of place *Cough*:


The starnge lady came back on friday and offered me a blind date, I had to pay here 3,000:


And THIS is what she gives me:


Personally I want my money back! Then I found out she doesn't give refunds



Hum, until next time

Again sorry for the long update, let me know if you would prefer I move a story or two somewhere else as I have some Recolours to show you next and some sims I created so it could get confusing!

Nice!!
I can see that Nengi´s flowering wines didn´t show up you got a or four statues on the side of the house.
That´s strange because you have the one in the middle
Nengis rocks down by the beach has dissapered too??

If you want them here is a link to Nengi65´s blog spot Nengi65 @ nengis blogspot

Thanks Ulli, I didn't get the vines but had to delete the Rocks at the side as they came up blue for some reason

I don't mind though I'm lovin the house as it is so many thanks hun

That was very enjoyable. I liked learning about your two ladies and the adventures they're having. Ulli's beach house looks so beautiful. I am so happy you're able to play your game again. I had a thought though, about the hacks you removed. I am wondering if they are updated for the game configuration you have? I know when I installed Apartment Life, I didn't think to check all my hacks and mods to make sure they were safe to run with it. I had so many problems with my game that I stopped playing it for awhile. When I got a new computer and had to reinstall, I started over hack hunting and made sure that everything I got was updated for AL. The same can happen for just regular ol' downloads, too, if they don't match your game setup because they might use meshes from EPs or SPs that you don't have. I'm glad you figured it out, though!

Claire, WOW!

First of all, Jen is going to love seeing her beautiful Emily & Rhiannon (The Route Sisters) in your game.
Ulli's beach house looks fabulous, too!

I am thrilled to see my Coastal Living & love how you've decorated the room.
Great rug ... Love the 9 square artwork & ironing board ...
It really all coordinates well, doesn't it?

Thank you for your support, as always, my friend.

I love your witty commentaries, Claire. Too funny!

I totally enjoyed this episode of CLC's Stop By.
Thank you so much for sharing what's been going on in your game with us.

My eyes! My eyes! Why does Maxis do that?!!! And it's bad enough that he has a face like that, but to pair it with bad hair and clothes (I know that outfit!) is just adding insult to injury. He better be really, really nice!

I totally love your story-telling style. It's hilarious Claire!

More please!

The sisters in your first family are really cute. I'm going to have to check out that house of Ulli's. I like how you decorated it!

Your legacy sim is starting out rough living in a tent, isn't she? Looks like the gyspsy matchmaker strikes again! I hope she manages to find a better potential mate than that. He's bad even for EAxis standards.

Many thanks for the lovely comment Ari I'm so glad you enjoyed my update, I got a little behind with your thread but will try to post there again today

Thanks for the input on the issues Ari, I am updated to AL, I think it maybe because I have mansion uploaded I always had problems the first time I used it so it maybe the same again. Hopefully it will keep working for the timne being and I will sort everything out at the next big meltdown

Worst outfit EVER. (other than the clown costume)

Thank you so much for your comment Toni, I'm so glad you enjoyed my update

Em, thank you so much for stopping by! And for your lovely comment.
For the sisters you can thank Jen I just dressed them and I'm gonna torture them
I'm glad you like How I decorated Ulli's fantastic abode, I fully recommend it with bells on.

I'm gonna build her a house today Em, Julie didn't have enough money to start off with and I got so busy playing I forgot to build, shes got 20,000 now so I'm sure I can come up with something.

I'm not sure I want to follow the legacy challenge rule to only marry ea sims....
I may download a nice looking one and say to the rules!

I'm hoping to update either today or tomorrow guys (maybe both if I get loads done) we will see.

Thanks for the comments all

Elle sweetie thank you so much for the long reply I am SO glad you have enjoyed catching up with my thread.

If you want, Claire, you are free to showcase your Legacy Challenge in the Challenge Arena. There is a special section for that located here.

I hadn't noticed this I may do just that Elle, thank you!

I did play my families a bit last week but not enough really to post an update, I will try to get a proper update to you all on thurday, for the time being here is a mini update for you all.

Some recolours I did for just 5 at bps:

(I added two more when I uploaded to Is.)

I have started a request I am doing for a friend:

Quote:

I was hoping for some recolours of the lifeboat in this set(In yellow, orange and white) http://www.blackpearlsims.com/showthread.php?40926-October-2010-Simple-Life-Sims-2-Downloads&p=697884&viewfull=1#post697884 Also of the Binoculars in this set as well in all sorts of different colours (especially purple and white). Also I am creating a green and white house and have the meshes I want to use for the living room here: http://www.blackpearlsims.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1191 But not the right recolours. Lastly would you be able to do some blanket recolours with these patterns? A selection of oranges: A selection of blues: And five patterns:

And I started another house for someone, luckily they don't want it decorated as its fairly big:


And lastly I did two night time pictures for a challenge:

and:


I hope you all enjoyed.

I am so sorry it has taken me this long to comment on all of your lovely stuff sweetie...


Wow!!

Terrific update, Claire!
Where did you find that rowboat?
I'd really like to have it for some of my beach lots.

I love the textures/fabrics chosen by the person who requested the blankets.
Verrry nice!
And good job on the chair recolors, m'lady.
