You're always entitled to change their looks however you wish. Really. It's been so long I doubt I could find the conversations regarding it, but they are there on the thread when it comes to changing how anyone looks. Especially if your sim falls for a face one. You can't help that your sim loves their personality (especially since in Sims3 that's all attraction is about! lol) when they don't have an original feature on their face. So no overactive conscience. It's allowed. =DShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-62859226528550203822016-04-23T18:02:32.320-05:002016-04-23T18:02:32.320-05:00I played with it, separate save like you just desc...I played with it, separate save like you just described, because my 4th gen heir is almost a clone of the 3rd gen, but I couldn't let myself keep it because I felt like I was cheating.

Ha!<br /><br />Because if they predicted nothing but happy they'd get far fewer repeat customers! xD Sabria (my phone keeps wanting to auto correct to Sangria. Lol) has made her living and her name giving people their very own mystery to solve. She's forgotten that outside of her business she could tell it straight instead of just frustrating Ignacio to no end.<br /><br />So.many!toys. All so appropriate. Ha! <br /><br />Ooooo! I love this feature. For me, CAF never lets me pull in more than 2 sims as genetic donors. This lets you pull in something like 16 (it might be 12 or 8. Can't remember.) And use all of them to pull genetics from. So you could put in aunts and uncles or great grandparents to bring back features/colors that have bred out or to give greater weight to certain features. Clones are still possible, but just hit the button again until you get a blend you like. I usually do it in a special separate save, then save the result I like to the bin to drop onto the toddlers. Love that feature.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-19336030911575956102016-04-20T07:39:13.319-05:002016-04-20T07:39:13.319-05:00Why do psychic predictions love to circle around a...Why do psychic predictions love to circle around above our heads like vultures with their doom and gloom? Why can't they be about puppies, rainbows, and unicorns? (Well, discounting the nightly unicorn visits with Helen, but even that unicorn prediction was doom and gloom) 'Circling around our heads' also makes me think of deerflies. Those things are a.noy.ing. I accidentally swallowed on once, and I immediately got that song in my head. I'm getting off topic again.<br />Back to Sabria. Don't get me wrong; I like her! But those doom and gloom predictions make me want to shove her face into the wall. Shut up and let me live my life! I'm going to make mistakes! It's just what happens! Oh, I get it, really. She's trying to protect them all, mostly Ignacio. /sigh. Sadly, in many cases, trying to protect the ones you love can be the catalyst that pushes them to make the mistake(s).<br /><br />'Appropriate child's toy' LOL!<br /><br />You know, I've seen the 'play with genetics' thing in MC, but I've been too chicken to try.

No matter what, he'd have to accept something in order for her telling them anything outright to work. She's tried telling them now several times and both time both of them have simply brushed her off. It's a really big dilemma for her in the end, and one that in many ways is just out of her hands.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-27092968542379215842013-08-23T14:50:43.513-05:002013-08-23T14:50:43.513-05:00Tough call.

I'd say, what Iggy may think if her prediction is wrong should be a low priority, but then there's the very large question of what may go wrong if she does attempt to interfere. She could make it worse. I have to respect the fact that she's trying to respect everyone in this situation, but that really would be a big dilemma in this case since she knows *something* bad is about to happen.

And who volunteered their baby for that experiment?<br /><br />Yes. Yes it is. It fits the color scheme nicely. lol<br /><br />I don't think Tibi was expecting Dad to buy it for her like that. I honestly think she thought she could ask and would receive. Well, technically, she is indeed receiving, just now the way she'd anticipated. Ha!<br /><br />Yup! Tibi gets what's going on now and isn't around all the time, so Mariah to the rescue to clear up those niggling little questions. Sabria is really trying not to be the bull in the china shop with this. She's trying to respect that Layla is a little fragile still and that Ignacio truly cares for her. But what she does know is becoming clear enough that to her it's urgent. At which point though, she herself is tormented with a "Should she interfere or not?" dilemma. Forcing interference might change the course of things which would make her prediction wrong and earn further scorn from Ignacio for her butting in. But she knows what will happen if she doesn't press the issue too much.

Look at all those flowers! When is someone go...OMG! Look at all those flowers! When is someone going to smack some sense into her about that stuff! <br /><br />It is sweet to see Layla falling into motherhood more easily than she'd thought, and how touched she is by her baby daughter. Good question! Who on earth did figure out that green slop is good for babies? <br /><br />Awwww. Buck really would've made a wonderful grand daddy =(<br /><br />LOL isn't that one of Gem's sims in the portrait on the wall? <br />I can understand her being upset that she never even invited her parents. She could have. Helen only told her not to come back, not that they couldn't come there. But then, I got the impression that Helen was pretty frail in those final "years", so it might not have been feasible at all. <br /><br />Silly Layla. You can accept help, and still be 'as good as any woman' at being a mother. Your dad helped on night shifts, remember? <br /><br />o.O Damn. I should've used Tibi's trick when I was that age. Asking for the credit card, which would be an obvious No, and getting Dad to offer to buy it himself. Well played, Tibi, well played. <br /><br />Oohhh pretty Mariah! Look at those bright green eyes! At least Sabria was able to come for her birthday. Although I see Sabria has a new little medium, lol. <br /><br />Oh Sabria. I'm just not sure that advice is getting through. Layla is blinded by herself, and perhaps things she herself doesn't even know yet, and all Iggy sees is that she's been a diligent mother. Is it possible that Sabria has discerned something that Layla doesn't know yet? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-37503591397831484672013-08-22T17:03:51.355-05:002013-08-22T17:03:51.355-05:00He said it that way because it wasn't an offer...He said it that way because it wasn't an offer. Ha! It was a demand. It would happen that way whether she wanted it to or not if she wanted to attend the dance. I don't think Iggy will ever really lose Tibi. Those two had to lean on each other for so long I'm not sure I could break them apart.<br /><br />Yeah, the clutter remains in copious amounts all over the downstairs no matter how much "better" Ignacio thinks she's doing. She's just transferred her obsession from one thing to the next. We'll get some help with that soon. It just might not be a happy help.<br /><br />Yes! Try it. It's so nice to be able to pick the pretty and still see grandparent features along with parental features. I love it! <br /><br />Nope. She's obsessed with 'making it right,' as she sees it. And while her methods were to suffocate Mariah with her attentions have largely succeeded (at the sake of her getting proper rest) she's still not completed her goal and she's determined to do that. I hope Layla doesn't do anything she regrets too.

Give me a week or so and we'll see it.<br /><br />Sadly, no! I'm sorry! I'd really like to get to include Tibi more often, and we'll see her a little more next time but no father daughter shopping trip. I've been working on another scene and set and I'm not sure I'd be up for the rigors of a shopping set. Ha!

I didn't even make that connection even though I've had Eight Days A Week stuck in my head for nearly two weeks now.<br /><br />Yeeeeaaaaah, she's not alright. She's just transferred her obsession from one thing to another. Ignacio is purposely trying to be blind to it all. He just sees she's really trying to be a Mom and that thrills him. Why question success?<br /><br />I loved that bit too. It's such a typical teenage way of thinking. We'll do it my way! And then begrudgingly go the other way just to "Get their way."

I hope Iggy gets her some help before whatever Sabria is hinting at happens.<br /><br />Mariah is pretty cute, and a good blend! Wow. Gotta try that new MC feature for my next generation for sure! Tibi is very expressive, too. Love when sims are like that :)<br /><br />So... Layla was thinking about going island hopping looking for Phedra? Does she realise that would mean she'd essentially be doing what Phedra did? The same thing she's so against and cut up about? I'm sure Phedra will get round to phoning her back soon! Well, hopefully she does before Layla does something she'll regret!gemly_teddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384732672776498936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-50581407310024326912013-08-22T12:47:04.864-05:002013-08-22T12:47:04.864-05:00I hope Sabria manages to get Igancio to take her w...I hope Sabria manages to get Igancio to take her warnings seriously and they manage to get Layla some help dealing with her issues.<br /><br />Tibi & Ignacio's talk about the dance and her dress was great - I hope we get to see their shopping trip!AliHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088235841224977814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-89522782267138275702013-08-22T11:01:29.563-05:002013-08-22T11:01:29.563-05:00I don't know if it was intentional, since it&#...I don't know if it was intentional, since it's just one word, but your chapter title is a Beatles song.
