Woo hoo! I agree that was a smoking hot chapter and a long time coming. Now Carolyn just needs to get Kyle off the phone. Tell him he'll be alright, that you've moved on and he can too. (Like it's that easy). I like the montage, sultry, yet tastefully done.

Well, my dear Em'....let's hope our Carolyn does the right thing. Rolling Eyes *cough*

You guys totally rock! dancintrio

Oh, and by the way...Carolyn's brother Marc proposed to his girlfriend Kana, when she graduated. They'll get married once he's finished his medical internship.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_fa3f5afd_bacf368a

And seeing as I've shared photos of my other two favourite big families. I thought I'd also share Marco's family, the D'Angelos. In my first install of TS2, I created them as a test family, to play without cheats and to test new (and in those days, dodgey) mods. they were supposed to be dispensable, but I got attached. lol! Marco and Vinnie were my first set of twins born in game (In later incarnations of my hood, they were CAS created). Joey was a toddler who hadn't learned anything when the twins were born, and their parents were passing out from exhaustion all over the place. By time Teresa came along, I had to use a motive cheat to keep them from dying! laughin

Anywho...meet the D'Angelos...starting with the youngest - 13-year old Salvatore - first.

My my what a gorgeous family! They are all stunning, but Vinnie is definitely my favorite. I also think Teresa and Sal are quite beautiful, too. And what a pretty montage to show them all off. I love you

By the way, do you have a mod that tells you how old a sim is? I mean, you often refer to them in human age, I just wondered how you figured that out.

Naw! I write it all down! I rotate aaaaaall my families using each semester as a time marker. I play a semester, then go back to the regular hoods, and play my families for what I figure is about four months. Then have my uni sims do their mid year exams, and play them til the end of he next semester. Back to the hood for another imagined 4 months. Then to uni to sit year-end exams. THEN I play everybody a little bit to create what I think of as 'summer memories.' That's a year! I then go to my trusty notebook, and update all the ages!

I have annual groups for all toddlers children and teens. And I keep the adults in groupings of: 22-25 (post uni), 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49. Then I start using middle-aged wrinkles here and there for 50-54 and 55-60...Then I age them to elders. Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 774807

OKAY, OKAY! I'm obsessive about these things! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 97206 I also age my townies and social groups. Haven't figured out what to do with my adult NPCs for whom I've created family connections. Some should be getting ready to age. I'll probably just use some serious aging makeup so they look right, and eventually when I figure it's time for them to die, I'll do the deed, and let the game regenerate some new ones.

WHAT?! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 99672 YOU asked!!!! sunny

The DeMarco and Garcia families are both so gorgeous! Love the Garcia family pic, especially.

Thank you, as always, for sharing your incredibly well written, beautifully photographed Sim tale with us, m'lady.

Weeeellllll....it's time to see how that whole phone call from Kyle in the wee hours of the morning played out. Ready? Are ya? You sure? Okaaaaaay.......

---
Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_1ac6a3e3
"That's not fair!" She said, her voice trembling. She stood up and slipped into the bathroom with the phone.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_fac6a5fc
He could hear her talking softly. She sounded like she was crying. Marco sat up on the edge of the bed. He was sweating.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_3ac6a849
Even in the air conditioning, his skin was prickling and he could actually feel his blood rushing through his veins. He leaned over, pulling his clothes from the tangle of garments on the floor.

He was reaching for his shirt when she came out of the bathroom a towel wrapped around her, the phone in her hand, her face streaked with tears.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_9ac6a925
"Marco...he's very upset..."

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_dac6a9e7
"I don't want to hear it." His voice sounded hard.

More tears spilled down her cheeks.

"It's just so complicated!" she cried, her voice shaking as she wiped at her cheeks and runny nose.

He continued to get dressed.

"I...I...He's coming back from France...to...to...to..talk to me...just to ta..."

"Stop," he said harshly, cutting her off. He realized his fists were clenched.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_1ac6ab73
"I don't want to know. I can't go through this with you. You're on your own."

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_9ac6b3c3
He didn't recognize his own voice. It sounded so hard. He didn't understand this horrible sensation he was feeling.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_1ac6b3f9
"Don't look at me like that!" She cried descending into sobs.

Marco glanced at himself in the mirror and was startled. His face was dark and his eyes glowered. It was rage.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_7ac6aed9

For the first time in his 24-years, Marco felt rage, and it shook him to the core.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_3ac6ac10
"I have to get out of here."

"Marco!" She cried as he strode to the bedroom door.

"No. Don't follow me. I don't like who I am right now. You need to figure out what you want. Let me know when you do."

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_1ac6aac3
He swung open the bedroom door, darting through the living room...

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_7ac7c293
...He threw open the front door and dashed out slamming it behind him.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_bac7c2e4
He didn't wait for the elevator but ran down the steps just needing to get outside into the fresh air.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_5ab40c5b_7ac7c3c2
The sky was just beginning to get light when he jogged across the parking lot to his new Mercedes Benz.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 2
His hand shook as he fit his keys into the door.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 4
He suddenly turned away bent over, and heaved.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 3
He felt like he was throwing up everything he had ever eaten in his life. When there was nothing left, he leaned back against his car and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

He groaned. When he stopped shaking he opened the trunk and finding a big bottle of windshield washer fluid, used it to wash away the mess he had made. He tossed the empty bottle into a dumpster, and slipped behind the wheel.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 1

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 5
He looked at his cell phone. She had called and sent a text asking him to call. He turned if off and tossed it into the glove compartment.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 6
He turned on the ignition, slid the car into gear pulled out of the parking lot and drove across the city...

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_fa3f5afd_facfb8c0
...Heading for the highway

Well. First of all - your shots are just gorgeous. All the car pix are awesome! And the bedroom scenes are tasteful and pretty.

Marco is quite the gentleman to clean up the mess he made Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 738528 . I have to say that I agree with him. It does appear that Carolyn is conflicted and she needs to figure out what she wants. Although I don't know the circumstances behind her relationship with Kyle, I know that he's hurt her more than once, and I can think of little he can do now to upset her new relationship, unless she was already willing to let him. I think she needs to stand by her resolve, and really mean it when she says it's over. I'm hoping she'll realize that.

Great update! I love you

I know she is torn between wanting to help butt head (oops Kyle) and exploring the possibilities with Marco but dang girl you just CANNOT have your cake and eat it too.....

Your screenshots are absolutely beautiful and gorgeous my dear...

OH the suspense is killing me as much as I would like to kill Kyle.

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 319331 *flings self at Ari and Jen! I totally love you guys! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 12612 dancintrio

You're so emotionally involved in this mixed-up affair. verklempt

Ari, Marco really, really is a nice guy. It's those little things...like his being horrified with himself for being angry. I love him! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 503793 Why, oh why, is he being made to suffer so?! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 729422

Because the author of this sordid tale is a fiendish drama queen! :muahaha: Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 363286

But I totally do love Marco, even if I confess to having a soft spot for bad-boy Kyle. I don't know why! I guess in RL, I've been in situations where I've had to choose between the bad-boy and the nice guy (not to these kind of extremes, but...), and it's quite confusing! But I must say, though Kyle was a bit ahead in my favour going into this story, Marco has completely won my heart! It's a good thing I made a perfect sim match for my sim-self or Ms Garcia would have some competition! sunny

I was thinking "that's one pretty bedroom" and "that's one gorgeous, shiny set of wheels" myself! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 940149

Carolyn has a serious decision to make.
What I don't understand is, it's obvious what she and Marco feel for one another.

Of course, I don't know what the dealio is with Kyle and why she is so hard-pressed to end it once and for all with him, but...
She's going to lose that darling Marco, if she doesn't figure it out SOON.
I felt so badly for him, that he was so upset he puked his guts out (Then, cleaned it up? ... What a guy! laughin ).
I don't blame him for feeling enraged.
Just when he thought his beloved Carolyn had figured it out...that Marco was the one she loved and wanted...She gets a call from Kyle.
UGH! GRRRR! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 971462

But there are some happy things going on in my game. Marco's sister Teresa just graduated from university and before she and her boyfriend Patrick Benoit (Cassie and Maxine's brother) headed home to Christophe Harbour, he proposed!

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_b9e8fd11_3adb0294
These two are going to make some pretty babies!

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Patrickteresa

Beau Brookes (Broke), Brandi's son graduated and also proposed to his girlfriend Audrey (a fromer NPC paper girl) before they moved back home. Yes, he had a little plastic surgery. Come ooooon, for such a pretty woman, Brandi's first two boys are...well...Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 46579

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_b9e8fd11_7adb0068
While on the subject of Maxis families. Alexander Goth (also heavily plastic-surgeried. What was Maxis thinking?!) graduated with a degree in Astronomy, and is heading straight from the Academie to Pleasantview where he's taking up an internship at the Observatory there. With a last name like Goth...well, it's inevitable that he be a 'goth' right? Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 12612

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 Snapshot_d9ea0318_3adb1005

What a bunch of gorgeous kidlets! I can't wait to see them all grown up. And Teresa and Patrick are sooo pretty together. Bring on the spawn! Can you tell I just love breeding sims in my game, LOL!

Yes - I totally agree with you. I don't get Dustin and Beau - Skip Broke wasn't that bad, and Brandi is drop dead gorgeous, what's up with these two? And the Goth kids - seriously, - Morty is a pretty dang nice looking guy and Bella is pretty hot...why are their kids so...not? I had to plastic surgery mine, as well.

I was laughing myself silly over this whole post of yours, but I forgot to comment on it. So you are a teensy bit obsessive about aging, and I'm having the darndest time figuring out how long to play uni vs. how long to do a hood rotation. In my royal kingdom, I usually play each household for an entire season, then when the kids went off to uni I just played them straight through. It worked, but probably isn't the best way to approach the neighborhood if you want chronological aging. Especially since I want different levels of teens and uni students. So...what do you imagine 4 months to be (and a summer) when you return to your hood? Given your experience in the matter, I figure you're the best person to ask.

Who'da thunk old Al would turn out lookin' so handsome & stylin'?
Is Astonomy a Uni thing? Or did you download that career?

Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 243713 Ari and Sugah!

Sugah I have an astronomy custom career. I particularly like it, because the first couple of levels are graduate school, which I think is most realistic.

Now Ms Ari...about my imagined four months of time. I use a semester of uni as roughly four: Sept - Dec and the next (2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th) Jan - May. Most unis break around May.

Now, I suppose for the summer months I should say something sensible like 'play your simmies for 4 sim days' but....Toni doesn't play that way. Do you want to get a coffee? This might take a while laughin

Well see, I like to read my simmies' stories in their memory panels, which is why I'm so obsessive about chronology. 'Met x,' 'saw first snow,' 'learned to cook whatever'....you get the picture? So....for my imagined summer, I play all simmies (note wording here. I play ALL simmies. I'll get back to that in a moment) long enough to create at least two or three memories in their panels, even if it's just meeting a few new simmies...to suggest a passage of time.

If a uni simmie gets a new boyfriend or girlfriend during the school year, I'll have them meet the parents and siblings 'in the summer.' Uni simmies will meet new partners of family members back home, or new babies (though if they're immediate family, I usually teleport them to the home lot soon after the birth to meet the new baby right away. Wouldn't you go home from uni for the weekend, to meet a new brother or sister or niece or nephew?

I also usually have my simmies marry 'in the summer'...it's also quite realistic and it immediately creates a nice 'summer' memory for the whole family whether they attend or not.

Now, back to my note about creating summer memories for ALL simmies: *ahem*

1. This does not necessarily involve playing every lot (we all have boring households)...I will usually just teleport in simmies to a lot I'm playing make the visitor selectable and make sure they get a memory or two.

2. As you know I've used SimPe and TwoJeffs' simBlender to create family ties and make some NPCs and townies related to each other and even playable simmies. Soooo........well, I teleport them into lots I'm playing too, and give them a 'summer memory' or two. This is not always necessary, as things like marriages, and a-pluses, dean's lists, deaths, break-ups etc, are automatically created as memories for all family members.

3. With households I don't enjoy playing and just want to race through and get on to a fun family...I use a new mod (a small, stable, conflicts-with-nothing new and improved version of inSIM) called the Sim Manipulator which with a click, allows a simmie to make the acquaintance of any simmie on the lot, make best friends, enemies or even BFFs...and it creates the memory. You can set an A+, get a kid into private school, teach toddler skills, learn FT skills (fire safety, parenting etc) even vacation skills (hula dancing, local gesture etc) all with the click on the mod...no queuing required (you can do it while they're sleeping even!) and they GET the memory and the want fulfilled! And family members will get the appropriate memory for stuff like A-pluses, private school etc.

So there you have it! 'Summer' = making sure that most simmies get a coupla memories in their memory panels to suggest some sort of passage of time.

And that my dear, is how obsessive simmers sim! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 85797 sunny Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 99672

Wow...you're quite...detailed. Thank you so much for your in depth description of how you play your 'hood. I appreciate the time you took to type that all out. But for me, that is way too much work because I'm lazy, lol. Townies in the hood that I'm not interested in, I'd rather kill than make a life for, ha ha. And that was my original plan when I started making over Pleasantview. But I'm satisfied enough for now to just give them makeovers. And I created a new batch so I could have some decent looking folks for marrying and such.

As far as time rotations for me go, I guess I'll just have to find what works for me best. I love you

It's really interesting to hear about how you play, Toni. I never even pay attention to my sims' memories. I do try to keep track of their ages though and keep everyone the same and have experimented with different ways of doing that. But like, Ari, I'm kind of lazy about it. laughin I think it's neat that you're so detailed and organized with it.

By the way, cute kids. And Teresa and Patrick make a very pretty couple.

WOAH! I can not believe how "detailed" (as Ari so aptly put it) your Simming technique is, Toni. Holy Rigatoni! affraid
Like Em, I never even pay much attention to my Sims' memories.

Your game is so well organized. My gameplay is quite dull in comparison! Life in Christophe Harbour - Page 18 100574
