Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard

Nice family! I really enjoyed reading about their lives so far. I'm glad Neil is out of the picture, he wasn't good enough for her anyway. I hope things go well for her and Mirador, the prince. He's a very interesting looking sim.

Thank you for the compliment and glad you are enjoying the story, I am working hard to keep it interesting. Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts.

I've pretty much finished the exterior of my little beach house. I'm thinking I will change the decor that's in this abode eventually.
I'd like to do some recolors specifically for this seaside bungalow whenever time allows.

Here's what I've done so far (subject to change):



I haven't done anything with the second level yet (bedroom/study area/bath).

I really love the colour scheme. Nice job!

Thank you, Ms Elle! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind comment.
I'm not sure about the furniture I have in Windswept Place yet, but I DO like the soft lagoon blue as the main interior color. :dancinkitty2:

Lovely colors This is very nice I like it!

Many thanks, Ulli!

Oh, how fun! I really enjoyed this exerpt of Everything Changes, Mei.

Royalty, huh? Prince Mirador and Princess Meilyn Xiloscient ... What a neat surprise!

I love that group picture. It's great! The kids (Lin and Li) in front are a hoot! :giggling2:

And twins for the newlyweds! WOAH! Definitely runs in the family.

Thank you so much for sharing your story here. I am thoroughly enjoying it, m'lady!

Here comes the promised update!

---Everything Changes, Chapter 7, I Believe that Children are Our Future---


After she had recovered from the birth of the twins, Mei and Mirador recieved a late but most needed wedding gift from Mirador's family.. a mansion house they used to use during their summer vacations that Mirador had loved as a child. The deed and the keys to the home were inside the sealed envolope that arrived that morning. They desperately needed to get their own place, the family home was too small for the four of them plus her parents, the now teenage twins Li and Lin and her aging parents.

It took a week but soon the home was complete and they new family moved in. Walking in her bedroom that first evening, just before the sun was setting, Mei smiled, rocking the older of the twins in her arms. She had named the younger twin Sariya and Mirador picked Kaliendi for the elder one, named after his grandmother. It was Kaliendi or Kali as her mother would call her in her arms right now. Smiling, she now knew what her mother always meant when she said a baby can make all your other worries seem as nothing. Only thing on her mind was Neil.. she had run into him while at the grocery store with her babies and did not like the rather intense stares he directed at her and had wished her husband had been home to go with her at that moment.



Sighing softly, she then felt a tug on her blouse and looked down at Kali.




The infant seemed to be able to sense her mother's distress and starting to fuss slightly a moment later. " I'm sorry sweet pea.. mommy will stop brooding now.." She said, kissing her daughter's forehead. A few minutes later, Mei tiredly took Kali back to the double nursery and stopped in the doorway as she noticed her brother Liang. The sight was so sweet, her brother was temperarly living in her home until he could get on his feet again and heal from the nasty accident that had ruined his car and nearly killed him.



" Careful Liang... Sariya might get to thinking she is your favorite.. did she awake or something?" She asked, knowing his room was two doors down from the nursery and was worried for a moment that Sariya had cried and awoken him. Liang shook his head, laughing very softly, as he had noticed his niece had fallen back asleep. It was true.. he was very attached to his nieces, and knew he would miss being able to spend much time with them once he had gotten back to his normal routine and to work.. which meant he would move out, that was what he promised Mei and Mirador, though both had insisted he didn't have to leave, he felt they needed their home to themselves at some point and he was not going to wear out his welcome.



After making sure Sariya was indeed out like a light, he snuggled her one last time and placed her in her crib and a moment later, Kali was in her own as well. As they left the room, Liang let out the yawn he had been holding in that entire time. " Laing.. go rest... I know the pain medicine is making you sleepy..." Mei said in a motherly tone that made her brother laugh lightly. " Wow.. can't tell you aren't a mum at all.." he replied teasingly and was amused by Mei's eyes rolling and her gently shoving him down the hall to his room. " Go to sleep you dingbat..." She said with a laugh and was glad when her brother complied and went into his room and shut the door.

Well the years flew by as they tend to do and soon Meilyn and Mirador's little ones grew. Kaliendi was the more outgoing one, while Sariya was the ore quiet of the two, but also the more curious one, often getting into things that were not for babies.. such as the pans in the lower kitchen cabinet. But still the girls were sucha blessing and joy to the couple that they could forget the times they wanted to pull their hair out during the tantrems and launching of the food bowls when the girls wanted out of their high chairs or the toy launch when they wanted out of the play pen.

Finally it came to their fifth birthday and they would be starting school in the fall, and Meilyn was admittingly a bit sad they were growing so fast but was still proud that they were such well behaved children in the presence of others and generally for the most part on a day to day basis.
Their birthday party was a huge success and a big affair for all involved, Mirador even took a sick day from work to be there.





After the party, the twins were taken for a few days for a minor surgery.. to remove the tails that had been there and growing since birth. Mirador had explained he had been born with a tail, that all his people were but Mei agreed with him that like he had, it was best the tail was removed before the twins were in school, to curb a way too easy way to torment them from other school kids, it was going to be enough for them to face the snide remarks about their pointed ears and their amethest skin color. After the surgery was complete, the girls returned, jovial and energetic as ever.

Jokingly, Mirador set up the camera on the stand and the twins giggled and ran in front and struck poses for it. Soon Mei and Mirador joined in the sillyness and the camera shot the picture.



Kaliendi looked at the image in the window of the digital camera and scowled slightly. " Me and Sari are almost cut out of the picture.. can we do it again?" She asked, looking at her mother, for her father had left the room to get ready for work. Laughing, Mei went and reset the camera. " Okay.. 1..2..3...!"



Kali, after looking at the image, seemed satisfied and ran upstairs to her room. Sariya looked over at her mother, tilting her head slightly, noticing Mei was paler than normal and she was sure she heard her throwing up this morning. Was her mother sick? The younger girl kept her worries to herself however and followed Mei into the other room to help clean up the breakfest dishes. It was then that the phone rang and her mother moved over to answer it. Bewilderment drew Sari's attention from that to her father, whom was carrying a suitcase. " Papa.. you are leaving?z" She asked, panic clear in her voice. Why would her parents be seperating?!

Laughing softly, Mirador dropped the luggage and went over and ruffled his child's hair. " No silly.. now go pack your suitcase with a weeks worth of clothing and essentials.. we are taking you girls on a week vacation to Takamizu Villiage.!" He shared and Sariya laughed in relief and went upstairs. Soon the family was walking outside the home and over to the taxi taking them to the airport.. this vacation was going to be a memory in more than one way for them all.

Wow sugah that is one awesome house I love the use of colour inisde and the shape outside is perfect, i look forward to seeing what you do to it next!!!

Thank you! :) I wish I had more to show, but I don't have my own computer for a few days.
Ringlan has grown up to an adult and Smosen and Istottan are teens.

ooh.. pics girlie.. pics..!

Raven, thank you so much! I'm not sure what will become of this little abode, but hope to return to it soon.

I don't know if I'd use the word "tacky" per se, dahling.
I can tell you it's ... ummm ... let's see ... interesting.
Yes, that's it! It's an interesting recolor of the set. :giggling2:

Mei, thank you for sharing your story here with us.
I just finished reading it and enjoyed it as much as the previous excerpts.

I love Mei's hair (in the first pic and on the twins). Where'd'ya find it?

Liang's tenderness towards his nieces is so endearing.

My how quickly the kids do grow! Love the group photos!

Can't wait to hear what happens on the fam's vacation @ Takamizu Village ... good job, Scribe Meilyn!

"the box" house has been beautifully decorated edward looks like a fantastic home now, i love the use of earthy colours and tones.
And you re really very good at recolouring, the black and lime sofa/pillows are my favoruites.
I look forward to seeing more soon
Oh and i almost for got your mail sims :droolin\':

I've been playing on my puter that has Apartment Life installed these past few nights and trying to learn my way around the last TS2 EP.
So far, I like it (though the green fumes and bubbles around the evil witches is rather distracting and annoying ).

This is Tia Santiago (on the right) and her roomy, Marie Rauscher.



I have only had two Sims with roomy experience thus far and usually choose NEATNESS as the big thing my Sims are wanting in a room mate.
So far, they are completely happy with their living situation.
Marie is a back up dancer - a neat and playful Capricorn - and a Fortune Sim.
Tia is an Aquarius - with similar qualities only more active then Marie.
She is moving up the Culinary ladder and is currently an exec chef. She's a Popularity Sim with a second aspiration of Fortune.

I'm also attempting to build my first little apartment complex, probably just for fun.
I'm definitely in the beginning stages and have tons to do on it yet. Not even sure if it will work as apartment units!

I don't have a name for it yet and I think I need to change it up so I can have some community shared space between the duplexes
(like for chess and/or bbqs ... can't fit a pool).



Bay is on her way. Will share more asap!

I actually think it works. All sims cannot live in spreads out of "Better Sim Living", lol. I think you did a good job of putting these pieces together, and the recolor is well done.

I'd have to check... I think it was a peggy mesh but I will double check that for you.

Hehe Liang will be the focus of the next segment so stay tuned if you are curious about him.

The trip will be discussed in the chapter after next, for I have to organize the photos and the twins have undergone a change not too long after the vacation that I have to account for... sorry its taking so long x.x

Thank you very much for the complements though ^^

I like the red and greey sofa they are very nice. :dancinkitty1:

The picture goes very well with the sofa`s.

great work!

That is precious!

I want it!

I love the color and the style Sugah! It will go so well in my new Model in Miami (yet unnamed) neighborhood!!

Can we have it?? Can We?? Can We??

When I first made Desirae I considered replacing Hunter (avatar, top model). I actually did.

After much thought though - I just LOVE Hunter. She's such a perfect model (to me) and so versatile. I don't think I'll ever get rid of her as the face for Basic........unless she loses the current competition.

Desirae will have a spot in my heart too - but she'll only get to model if the voters decide she does. I'm not giving ONE clue as to who the front runners are.



Currently I'm still working on relinking. I'm also working on creations. Gifts for other sites.......I'm tired!!
I've also got it in mind to do a series of houses with different themes. I toyed with the idea of doing custom content recolors for furnishings - but with so many other great creators out there (Sugah, Sami and many many others) I can not even commit to that.

I'll focus on fashions, Sims, art and some housing.
