Thanks for the update! The dog in the first picture is so pretty! And thanks for showing us your new Sim Lola, very pretty!

My favorite pictures of the dog "Honey" are here and here

Not only is Crystal obviously Sugah's, but Kane is obviously Keanu's!  

I love the Australian TV show Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Mac Thanks for the "Honey" picture links! My favorite was the "playing dead" training  

Aw, shy Jeremy is so sweet.

You'll have to let us know how the sloppy/lazy couple gets along. How crazy that a hack prevented her from eating at all with no neat points.  I guess if they can't eat at least a little neatly, they can't eat at all.

Wow, that sim does look just like the real Miss Fisher. I wonder if I've seen that series. I don't think I have, but the lady looks familiar. Maybe she reminds me of someone else.

It's always fun to Sugah's family and watch her kids with Keanu as they grow!

At least the first season is on Netflix. Well worth it - lots of fun and great clothing!  

I took the fan away from Toni's Catalina - it just didn't look right with many of the animations. She's kept the rose in her hair and her necklace. My resident ballet teacher emeritus has pointed out that she would have come down like a ton of bricks if any of her charges ever showed up with flowers or jewelry!  


She did notice however that when Toni's Reshma came by that she was standing in fifth position!  She's talking with Jen's Fin


Stella Walker is from LoWiSa's site. She's Family/Pisces Veterinarian/Science. She and Sim Em's Sabien (Popularity/Gemini CruiseShips/Dance) seem to have found each other. She's quite a serious gal, and we know why cruise ships hire blonde handsome doggie-woggies!   Nonetheless, they're an item!


Ari's Cammi and Robert Downey, Jr are now married and I think we can expect a Robert Downey III sometime soon. The beautiful paintings over the couch are thanks to Toni and are included in her Spanish Farmhouse and Winery lot.


Will Smith and the lovely Casadora ( Hunter) have a little boy, Malcolm. (He's actually named after someone I knew.) This is just as he was turning from toddler to child  Way back I posted this picture of her in her stunning red formal dress.


Toni's Connor had barely arrived in my 'hood when he found the lovely Leanne (by Ari). This looks serious. She's a World Famous Model and he's an aspiring artist (still at the stage of whittling wooden Llamas). I think that he'll be painting her a lot - maybe some of the portraits might be acceptable on this site   BTW, Leanne has over 210K aspiration points!!!


Next morning at breakfast. No further comments...


Two of Jen's creations, Robin and Fin are now engaged. They're both Romance sims. She's at the top of the Dance career and he's in Technical Theatre, picked wrong on a chance card and suffered a 5-level demotion! Here's a picture of Robin admiring her engagement ring. There's a pic of Fin with reshma early in this post


Paul and Milano (a RL and brilliant sims creator) and their daughter Raluca who just became a teenager


Weston Cage (the son of Nicholas Cage and Eliza Dushku  - I knew her RL mom) isn't sure just how all this happened. I don't think that Raluca has any doubts!  

Fascinating, I never tire of your posts here in Mac's 'Hood. Thank you!  

Love seeing all of your "couples" and the kids! Enjoy hearing your comments passed along from your ballet emeritus too!  

Wow! those paintings you have from Toni's newest lot are stunning!

Thanks for the update!  

Leanne is definitely a looker! Nice update!

This update is all about our beloved Toni. The self-sim is hers, as is her sim husband, Kostos, and the house "Aries". I had thought of moving her into the vineyard house but remembered that she liked the ocean view from the computer room.   In the Sims, she's Popularity/Aquarius Sims2Creator/Fitness and Kostos is Popularity/Gemini Fitness/Fitness. He's at level 9 of the Fitness career and she's at level 8 of the Sims2 Creator (doh) career. They're both at permanent platinum thanks to a lamp. Meanwhile, Sims Toni and Kostos created Sim Chris Nevis. Kostos helps with the diapers, but there are certain things only a mom can do.


And, by golly, mom's going to take out some time for MOM!


Chris eventually turned into a monst... er... Toddler


But staying home with children has enabled Toni to continue her writing career. You may recall her first book: Sim-marillion, which got only lukewarm critical acclaim. She just finished and is taking delivery of her second book: Sim-Maug's Deception, which is a best-seller. Lord of the Sims is in the planning stage!


She also found time to study mechanical to advance her career


But maternal duties intervene, here Toni's teaching Chris the use of the potty (love her expression ) and talking. Kostos finished the training while Toni was at work. Permanent platinum is a big help - get the smart milk and the thinking cap and teaching is a breeze. One of my RL colleagues with 2 kids really wants to find out where to get this "smart milk"  


And social life goes on, Delphy came home with her, but couldn't stay


And Hunter's Carole came by. She bailed out and went home    just before Kostos was beginning to get some "frisky" ideas around the pool.    


But more playing with Chris. Teaching him the nursery rhyme "Baby Cumba Looba" (Do I date myself if I get it mixed up with "Be Bop A Lula"? )


Later a fun game of peek-a-boo


That's all for now. Chris has 2 more days as a toddler. We'll have to wait until the family comes around in the next cycle. Babies (especially) and toddlers (somwhat) are generic. Children, teens, and YA give you more of an idea on how they will look.

Lovely update on our lovely Toni! Beautiful house too!

Thank you, Mac! I am hooked on your 'hood happenings.  

Oh that helmet suits Sim Toni well.  

Now and then you get a pic that you just have to share right away. Here are Ari's Lenora and David Tennant at the birthday of Heath as he became a toddler. Lenora is probably the prettiest of Ari's contributions ever! (And that's saying quite a bit!) She's at the top of the medical career and is Knowledge/Cancer. David is at the top of the science career and is Knowledge/Virgo. They have three bolts with each other, as well they should. Interestingly, David Tennant as a child wanted to "be" Doctor Who - and he achieved his want as the 10th doctor!

When I anticipate an interesting scene, I step it frame by frame by repeatedly clicking on the "Pause" icon. If I find something I like, I'll rotate, zoom, put up walls and ceiling to get the best shot. I do tend to crop "in the camera". This shot is essentially a birthday shot but what makes it special is the wonderful reaction between Lenora and David - very special!

Great shot! Most interesting post info.

Great shot Mac! Love the look on their faces, especially hers! 

Mac where did you find David Tennant? We watch Dr. Who on Netflix and are on season 4 with him as the doctor with Donna Noble as his companion. Eric is obsessed with the Daleks lol. He wants all his Christmas toys except 2 of them to be Dr Who toys. If I could find Rose Tyler that would be even more awesome!

Hi BeckyLynn,

Here he is! There are a couple of Rose Tylers here and here. The Rose Tylers are a bit crude compared with the sims (including yours! - right now I'm actually playing Amare and Grace   - they're married and have a teenage son) on your site and on Sugah's. I think that the second reference to Rose Tyler might be better. I'm not familiar with that character so play around with her. Enjoy!  

There are no Daleks on MTS2,    but there is a t-shirt here

mac

Better late than never (Ooooooo! an evil pun lurks here, but modesty forbids   )

Here is a Tardis. It doesn't do anything, it's just a sculpture.

Sorry for the double    er... triple   post, but since we've been snowed in a bit, I've been really running my 'hood.
I finally got around to Audrey and Gerard Depardeau - and here Audrey was entertaining all of the Hough's: Derek, his wife Melanie (Jen -  )  , and teenage daughter Margot.


Later they both came back from work one day, and since they're both family sims, they put on quite a display


Now, what we've all been waiting for... Just how will Germain look as he grows up? I think he's his dad's son all right!   He'll have to compare notes with Humphrey Bogart's son, Stephen.   


Toni's Kofi Annan is engaged to an NPC, Erin Toyonaga (she doesn't look Japanese...) She's a Senator.


Sugah contributed Sofia Zucchero (that's Italian for sugar). She's a model with the hobby of dance. She's DDG in that formal     - Sophia Loren - look out!


Claire Danes is at the top of the Natural Science career and is displaying the "Working clothes"     


Later she was reading to Raymond, the little boy that she and Hysterical Paroxysim have adopted


Ari's Nora is starting out in a Pharmaceutical Industry career. It's a good thing that she's a knowledge sim, because the career is swot swot swot. She's entertaining Jessica Biel and the evil wizard Alan Rickman. "Pharmaceuticals, potions, what's the difference?" I have noticed that he's more given lately to diabolical laughter    Is this a behavior of an increasingly evil wizard???


Michael J. Fox and Jessica Biel tied the knot in a quiet private ceremony


And then she came home in her "working clothes" The result - there's another baby in the works!


I've said that my I.T. career is full of geeky guys and gorgeous women. Thought I'd introduce you to the women. That's BeckyLynn's Cambrie in the blue, Scarlet 117's (MTS2) Sarah in the rose knit dress, and BeckyLynn's Vanessa in the same rose dress - oops!   facing away from the camera. Vanessa is married to Harry Potter, who is sort of a geek and they have twin children - Gavin and Lily. Do you think they're discussing C++ and OOP??? I don't think so!  Toni's Marnie is also in I.T.  - working hard     and is engaged (see the stone?) to Matt Damon - he's not a geek, either, he's in business. Toni's Chauncey - Sugah's Site's answer to Dilbert is single - maybe he'll score with Cambrie or Sarah.   News Flash! - new simfemme coming to the I.T. career - Scarlett's Kira!   


Finally we come to my self-sim, and that of my RL wife, maikkij. I got the job of doing most of the teaching. Permanent platinum, a thinking cap, and smart milk make it all (relatively) easy. Maikki got the job of teaching Morris (yes, that's his name!) a nursery rhyme, and he has at long last grown up into a child - having dinner with mom and dad.

Fascinating, mac! Thank you for your continuing saga of Mac's 'Hood.

Stop the presses! Late breaking news!

Tim's George Yehsreh and Jen's - well - Jen, became engaged over breakfast


They had a wedding at home, with an arch and Champagne, but not a party


Then, they had twins! (I didn't want twins and tried restarting several times, including rolling the pacifier, but apparently that switch had been set).
Here are Jen and George - Jen is holding Adrianna (sort of a namesake) and George is holding Charlie (named after that intrepid sled... er... scooter doggie)   

Where did you get Tim's George Yehsreh? Is he available to the general public?

Right here on Sugah's Place

Thanks, mac!
