Sandy's 'Hood

Aw, Sugah has such a cute family! Her daughter is very pretty. I think she looks even prettier in your in-game pictures than the mirror pictures.

Thanks Em-I think she is so pretty too!!

Sandy, I am still thrilled that Sugah married gorgeous Lucien (YUM to the umpteenth power ).
I really do love the hairstyle and makeup you've chosen for Sugah, too...Very pretty!
Autumn ... I like that name. And what a pretty teen she's grown up to be!
She wears her (daddy's) gorgeous dark hair in the style her mom does...
And those blue eyes with the black hair ... One of my fave color combinations!

Sugah's bored potty training face

That about sums it up how ALL MY Sims feel about potty training, Sandy.
I usually skip that phase of toddler training.

So fun seeing my Simself and snackolicious Sim hubby in game!

Thanks Sugah :)

In this NH I've used (which I had been dying to try out) the CAS Default templates called Butterflies and Hurricanes  I have not been disappointed and can see why so many people rave about them.  I have also used Default eyes, eyebrows, and skins.  I can post links for those also if anyone is interested.

Paige Harmon and Blake Turner met in Uni at Romara Dorm!  It was practically love at first sight!  After graduation they moved back to Greenbridge and started their lives together!

Here are Paige and Blake at their new home in the kitchen posing!  



And then of course eating!!



In the backyard of their new home:

Sandy, thanks for the link to the face templates; they're gorgeous. I haven't seen those before. I'm using this set by Selzi. Since it was my first time playing around with default replacements, I didn't stray too far from the basic Maxis when I downloaded these. Now I want to try the Butterflies and Hurricanes.

I'd like to check out the eyes, eyebrows, and skins you're using. I like the ones I have, but you never know -- something better may be just around the corner.

I'm anxious to see how Paige and Blake's relationship progresses. College sweethearts.

Sandy - I'm looking in your thread for a link to Butterflies and Hurricanes. I'd appreciate if you could point me at it. In advance -

Thanks Cher! I'll be back with the other links!!

Mac, if you hover your mouse over where it says Butterlies and Hurricanes you'll see-guess I should have underlined it-so sorry :)

Cher  You are welcome! Oh yes, that set by Selzi is one of my top favorites, in fact I am using them in one of my NH now :)

Defaults used in this NH with the Turners are ones I got off Poppets Resource page :)  I wanted to try them out.
Here is the Feathers Defaults plus creatures...
and her Genie Default.
Here's the Default brows---arrrggh!

I can't find the eyes here for some reason but they are called Poppet HoPu default eyes (has Alien also).

Mac You are most welcome!

Thanks for the additional links, Sandy. I'll check them out. Since I discovered default replacements, I use them for nearly everything. I'm already using the same default eyebrows in my games; I like them a lot.

Blake and Paige have their first child a son whom they named Sam!

How quickly they grow up! Sam looks a lot like his father so far. Blake, Paige, and Sam look like a nice little family.

Thanks Cher They are a lot of fun! I've been saving up their pictures to share. They are actually already elders in my game with three kids, one of which "Sam" is done with Uni and moved back to the ancestsral home, married with his own kids being born-fun household! I'll be sharing more don't worry!

I'm so behind in the game threads! I don't know if I'll EVER catch up properly.

Sandy, thank you for sharing the Butterflies & Hurricanes link.
I've never heard of those CAS default replacements and look forward to checking them out.

Paige is a beauty! Don't you just love it when two Sims meet and seem meant to be?  
I love her hair...VERY pretty! Congrats to the happy couple and welcome little Sam!

WOW!!!

SIMkids really DO grow up far too quickly these days.
Before you know it, they're having children of their own.
Sigh.

 Yes!  

And then all the fun of playing Cupid and throwing them together and watching the sparks fly!

OTOH, it's also fun when the simmies surprise you! Torrid affairs popping up out of nowhere as in the sudden infatuation of Nathaniel and Odile

Yes, I remember them. Are they still in Uni? I'd like to see them when and if they have babies!

Patience! They're both still in Uni and are several spreadsheet pages away. Probably getting to them in late Feb or March. I'm currently importing men into my 'hood and designing them with certain single females in mind. Mind you - since Odile is an NPC, she and Nathaniel won't be in the offspring project but you can be sure that they'll be having babies!

Yes, patience is key I know, especially when you play in rotation as I do also (kind of) !! Ok, so now I have something to look forward to
I introduce new Sims also when I have someone that graduates Uni with no love interest, and then sometimes as you know they have their own plans

I don't know how I missed this before. It must have been posted at a busy time for me. Blake and Paige are a really pretty couple. It sounds like they had a great life together and a nice family.
