Up With The Clouds 1.4

It was nice to read part 1.4. And, "welcome!" to Evan. She's got a whole head of hair. I like CC hair for toddlers as the choices are so limited with the EA hair. The new heir home is very nice. You did a good job. Looking forward to the next part.

Have you rolled the Pacifier before Harley gets pregnant (or is it before they are born)? I do that and then have my Sim get pregnant and play through to birth. If you are leaving the game between babies, then it gets re-set at the beginning each time and then the "first born syndrome" comes into play. So, before each NooBoo is conceived (it might be before each is born but I don't recall exactly so I just do it before the "Try for Baby" interaction), I "Roll the Pacifier" (if I've exited the game since the last birth). Only problem, I always like the families I create in CAS and have a tendency to save rather than delete then. LOL. My McGreggor family has 4 kids and all have different personalities and interests, etc. They do all have brown hair and brown eyes because Leod does and it's dominant. And, before each "Try for Baby" I "Rolled the Pacifier" since I had exited the game since the last birth. It might help--so that you get a personality other than Gemini. Just a thought. Lilly

Thank you Lilly!
What do you mean "Roll the pacifier"? I never wait for there to be a want for a baby, they need to have babies

I can't take credit for the term "Roll the Pacifier" as i got it from another site--TS2, I think.

It comes from CAS or Create-A-Sim. After you have created two adult sims, if you want the third one to be a child, you click on the pacifier and a child will be created and you will see a picture with the two adult sims with lines coming frome from each Sim that come together, then go down with a pacifier followed by a picture of the child. If you click on the pacifier, it will "roll" or again combine genetics to give you another child, hitting that pacifier several times is called "rolling the pacifier." I usually take it a step further and create a family with several kids, checking to make sure there are differences, and then delete the family. (Well, I don't always delete the family, sometimes I save and play with that Sim family. ) This process of rolling the pacifier sets the genetic combination at a different place rather than it starting at the beginning each time which results in First Baby Syndrome which means all the kids are like first kid. If you don't save and just play through, then this isn't necessary as the game doesn't re-set to the beginning as it does when you exit. When I do this I get different genetics in the kids (although some things may stay the same such as in my McGreggor family--the father has brown hair and brown eyes and the mother has blond hair and blue eyes--which, since the dominant factors are brown hair and brown eyes means that all the kids have these features; however, with rolling the pacifier, I've been able to get some different skin types, different facial features and different personalities for the kids. All three girls have different personalities and skin types and interests. I'm not sure about the fourth one yet, since he's still an infant.) I hope that helps. Lilly

Oh, I see, thank you Lilly!
And thank you for reading Tasia! I'm trying to not get right to the point, but I haven't been very creative with this :/ I just cant get into it at the moment :/

Sometimes I have the same problem with creativity which is why I tend to play one family for a while and then move to another. Sometimes I'll even move to a different neighborhood. Even if you aren't feeling very creative, I still enjoyed reading. I always like the surprise when I see if an infant age transitions to a boy or girl toddler. I think that a fun part of your story.
