Poor April, it seems her husband is a MUCHO jerk!! ugh!!

Edit a day or two later

I would like to introduce you to the Giambani Family..

Marcello & Giana met 17 years ago when she came to Italy to study abroad. Marcello was her waiter at a cafe. Their first encounter was memorable to say the least. Marcello was awe struck by her and when he brought the food to her, he accidentally dropped the tray onto her table. Red sauce and pasta splashed all over her white dress. She didn't care about the dress, she thought he was the most gorgeous man she had ever laid eyes on and his smile was beautiful.
After offering to pay for dry cleaning services, a lot of apologizing and stammering, Marcello got up the nerve to ask her out on a date. She happily accepted. Marcello showed Giana all the beautiful things in his country that most tourist do not get to see. He took her to his family's vineyard and she could see his face light up when he explained the whole wine making process to her.
They fell in love over that summer and when her culinary internship was nearing the end, they were both dreading that day. Marcello could not stand the thought of her going back to America without him. He proposed that night and a few days later they were married in Tuscany.........


Marcello


Giana

They were married for a couple of years and then they had their beautiful daughter Tara. She is the apple of her grandpa's eye too.

Tara

Tara is now fifteen and has the looks of both her mother and father. Baba has all but retired now and lovingly dotes on his only granddaughter.
Tara is a typical teenager too, she loves her private time in her bedroom. She is such a good student that her parents let her have a tv in her room with the condition that her grades must stay up.



She loves her parents very much and is close to both of them. Her father won't let her date yet even though she has been asked by a couple of boys from school. Her father is very strict about the no dating rule and she is trying to get her mom to talk him to relenting just a little bit.


"There is this really cute boy mom and I want to go to the movies with him. Please, please get Daddy to let me go with Lucio for one date. I am not a baby anymore........." she whispers in her mom's ear while giving her a hug

Giambani House


All ready for Trick or Treaters...

Tara is a beautiful girl, daddy better keep an eye on her.

Love that garden with all those colourfull flowers! The trick or treat pic is great too!

Thank you Uli!!

I used your landscaping tutorial

Tara was born in game and I only put makeup on her since she is now a teenager......

You did ..then it actually works!

Yes sweetie, I actually love landscaping my yards now after following your tutorial!! Thanks :)

The family is beautiful, Adrianna, special the mother daughter is a fine girl, and her father is worried someone shall take her away. If we should decide our daughters should never date any one, at least not before they are 40 The house and surrounding's are beautiful, you did good wit it all, the inside of the house are sweet and realists, and the outside looks like it should be in Italy or Greece well, this was great!

Thank you....

This is my first story attempt, as I usually just post pics of my interior decorating stuff..lol.

Oh, my! Jen, I do NOT know where to begin.



First of all, let me just say your screenshots are all beautiful.
How crisp, vivid and colorful every snapshot looks!

And as for your awesome decorating skills ...



Every single room, not to mention the gorgeous exterior and landscaping, is SIMply lovely.
It all appeals to my eyes so much. I just love the entire Giambani abode.
You have such a wonderful eye for pulling a room all together.
I love your attention to detail.



And speaking of the Giambanis...

What a stunning family!
And what a unique, young beauty Tara is!
Her eyes are amazing & she looks fabulous with that hair, dahling.

I really like that you are sharing your beautiful family in story mode.
Keep it comin', my friend.

WOW!

The shrine for Elvis is so cool, Jackie.
What a unique idea and interesting structure!

Philippa is a pretty Sim.
Look at all those freckles!
Thank you for sharing her with us, my friend.

I think everything here is made of the amazing Sugah!

Some of the recolors are mine and some are the original meshers' goodies.
I like a man (Sani) who is not afraid of pink.
Thank you for downloading and for your support, as always, dear man.

Who is the ghost who's frightened poor Sani?

Thank you for sharing what's going on in your game lately.
I always enjoy seeing what you're up to.

Quote :

But after some testing, I've discovered my little pixel people are perfectly happy and safe!

Good to hear, Miss Kitty! I know that was a relief to you.

Aww thank you so much Sugah...it means a lot :)

I am still tweaking the rooms a little bit more but should have everything finished soon

I do love this family and have been playing them for a while. Yes I do think Tara is a beauty and the best part is she was born in game. I wasn't so sure about her when she was little though...lol.

I am going to try to keep the story up, this is my first attempt at story telling so hopefully it will go well. Having Fraps installed makes it so much easier to capture screen shots now and I can actually play my game in the regular mode which I love!!

The Ghost is a girl that was working on a Gym-Bath in my neighborhood, ones we visit the place, and with out any reasons she died that girl, like some Sims do sometimes in the game, I don't know if she drowned or if there was something else that happen with her? Sani was training on the run band machine, and we just here the reaper come... any way I got a tomb of Ghost (that I think "Smonaff" on MTS2 have done) (that is a handy tool) you can sign a ghost worker, and then the ghost works like a maid/gardener for you, and she/he also scare you! And ones can assign any ghost that are in the neighborhood (or any one that died there) he also have done the vial recurrent so you can bring back (My bonny to me) your love ones for a prise!


Sani miss the poor girl that died on the gym



Thank you for having interest, being nice and answer the post , the freckles skin I found on XTS2

Oh wow Jackie, the shrine to Elvis is totally cool!! Great work and it all looks fantastic sweetie.

I love the fact that a man is not afraid of pink, besides once he gets a girlfriend or wife, she is gonna decorate some room in pastels anyway, so maybe he is just getting used to the idea?


Ooooh a ghost, how spooky is that?

I love your screenshots and can't wait to see what happens next sweet pea...

Again; bless your heart sweet girl I think that most persons like bright colors, it is just men with fear that cant emit it!
Its totally cool with Pink




Edit The next day


Emile Lööv! :dancinkitty1:

Emile is a girl that lives in my UFO house 1950, in University.
She is a nice girl, Maxi done, but remake by me, she is higly trained and best of her class, well I like to play with Knowledge Sims



Emile is a nice Sim, she is always happy and friendly, I use to play with her often in my UNI game...


She have easy to to get friends and she becomes a wonderful mother, when I play her trough Uni and place her in the neighborhood...


This time I let her live in my UFO villa 1950, I think she likes that, all space and light, and she have a good view!


If somone is interested to read more about this house, or even download it here is the link to Basic!



Emile likes to study a lot, and she read everything she can find


Emile Painting




Here is her bedroom, its all Sugah made



Emile is a great cook, and she likes to eat Pancakes (who does not like Pancakes )


Evry evening Emile take the elevator down and ...


Have a nice bath, she likes to swim under the stars...


And where else can you see two moons in the night sky, then in Maxis Game? (Bite that EA)

Well I just wanted to show you, that some of the Maxi girls and even boys can be fun, to play with, and Emile I liked since the first time I played with UNI (many years ago ) in that time one did not know so much about building stuff, and that it was a whole world out there, filled with all you could even dream about, in Sims and CC, in those days, it was just the Base Game and UNI! any way to me... first time I saw CC was on the official site, and hey (don't want to be bad) but it was a realy bad site... Well good for us that Sim Players make own sites there we can play and become better (humans) Sim players on!

Woah, that's wild about the girl @ the gym!
Makes for a fascinating story, doesn't it?

Well said, Lady J!

Okay, where have I been?
Can Sims do push-ups? And one-armed push-ups at that?
If that option comes up when you click on a Sim, I can't believe I have missed it all these years.

Emile Lööv is darling, Jackie.
She is a woman that definitely has it all together. She's the whole package, isn't she?
And I really like your UFO Villa 1950. I've already downloaded it.
I'm thinking of changing it up a bit, as it's going to be in one of my beach hoods.
(I believe I mentioned that at Basic. Will definitely share pics when I do. )

How DID you get two moons and all those stunning stars?
WOW!!! What a lovely night sky!

Beautifully said, dear man.
And I thank you, as always, for sharing.

They have always been there, you just have to have a camera, so you can look up from the ground

You cant mark a Sim, for this future, you have to mark a radio, and push EXERCISE I think it can be done by a TV too, but that I am not sure of, why the one armed push ups, is that Emile have full physic point's and are trained like a Marin

Thanks for answer my topic


Edit the 4 of November 14:02

Happy to present to you : Sani's new girlfriend











Well its not official yet, but I think he will stand on his knees any day now


Edit Later that Day!


I have played a bit with my homemade girl Philippa She is a sweetie...


Actuality I love all the freckles she got, that was a good Skin I found at Mts2.

I did a photo series on her Posing!


Here she pose together with the big ape/Gorilla statue from Open for Business !









She are going first year on University and are study Mathematik!
I build her a little house (and its little)


Philippa likes her little house!
Inside is not much space, but Philippa have placed her stuff, so it fits together and still are useful!






The bedroom is light, and Philippa loves Sugah's beautiful Walls, Floor and stuff!


Philippa is making her homework, she have to read much if she shall have a+


Don't you just love this windows, the person that did them is a genius!



Philippa taps her self on the shoulder, because now she is sure to get good grade, this year...

And that was all I had for to day!

I have started working on Tara's friends house. (It is still a huge work in process)

This is the mom's bedroom, she is a big lover of shabby chic.....and thanks to Sugah for giving us this wonderful shabby chic set!!



I would just like to say that since I finally learned how to do this (thank you so much for all of your help Sugah), I am now a clutter freak...lol

It's a beautiful room Jen, you make a big effort to make your room's, Houses, game look good and realistic, It's good to know that your Sims living a good life I can sometimes make their life a mess, and they have to live in crappy houses and be poor! but you are to nice for not get them all they need and a beautiful life

Aww thank you sweetie. I figure if I can't have this nice of stuff in real life then my simmies can...lol. I love the fact that talented creators (such as Lady S) make our game so much more enjoyable and we can have these beautiful things for our simmies.

Really nice work, Jen! I am loving it!

Thank you so much Elle Belle!! I appreciate your support and gracious comments sweetie
to both of you :)

Well, first of all....Mitchell and Michael Et Al, are "On life support", but that's really good news because it implies that I finally archived one of my sim goals this year, and that was to get a larger hard drive, and I got that done about two weeks ago. After my friend Lynn installed his old 200GB hard drive on my computer, I copied my saved games into a special folder and removed my old install of Sims 2, and I then defraged my hard drive and right now, I'm in the process of finding all of my game disks, and after I get my new copy of UNIBLUE's Power Suite installed, I will re-install my game and get going on resuming my game and I'll finally have all of the EPs installed! Hooray! :dancinkitty1:

My next goal after that will be to possibly upgrade my memory, and then I'll be done upgrading this old Gateway E-6100. By the end of this month, I hope to finally get working on my first recolor...I can hardly wait!

By the way, I want to take the time to thank all who sent me wonderful tips and tutorials on how to do recolors...I read them, and they look simple enough for a novice like me to figure out...THANKS!

As I said on my sim blog recently...

Quote :

This is actually just one part of a much larger project, which for now is for now being called The "I Made a SIM of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" Project. (If you know your broadcast television history, you will be able to guess of whom I am going to make a celebrity sim of.) I won't say just what look he or she will have, but his or her costume is rather involved, and will take many parts, the first of which will be a recolor of part of the costume, the second will be of the sim himself or herself, the third will be a very important accessory, and there will be a fourth and final accessory.

(http://mitchellandmichael.blogspot.com/)



...This is a project of who's exact identity I'm keeping under wraps, but as I said on my blog, if you know your television history, and if you were one of the several people that I sent a PM to, you know what project I have decided to embark on, and the civil war hoop skirt recolor is just one of many parts.

I hope to post the finished first part of this project by the end of November...keep your fingers crossed, y'all!

...Wow...my first recolor, I can hardly wait toi get it done!

Oh, and one last thing...please forgive me of using this large font...I had my eyes checked recently, and my doctor says that I need bifocals! So, from now on, I'm going to use a larger font, if it's okay with you guys!
