Here's my latest Sims 4 post, for those who may want to read it without cuts. 😉

[anamoon63]

Anika: And then having to continue attending school while Kenny and Lukas live their lives large, happy and worry-free…

"Happy and worry-free?" Are you sure, Anika? Because it doesn’t look that way. Kennedy’s been a bit pensive, and Lukas, unfortunately, still thinks of Lucas Munch. What's going on with them? We'll find out soon enough. 😉

Anika shared her concerns with her family. Everyone rushed to give him their humble opinions. Kennedy: Why are you so worried? You should be thankful you’ve at least landed a boyfriend. Anika: I’d be, if I could actually get to see him. Otto on the other hand, he never lets me down. Lukas: Otto is a great guy, and he’s head over heels for you. Zoe: I agree, Otto is a nice guy, but you can’t go out with both. Zeke: I don’t know Otto, but I like Alexander. Anika: I know, isn’t he adorable?

[anamoon63]

Class dismissed, Anika rushes to the door anxious to get home and call Alex. Otto: Hey, Anika! Do you want me to help you with math later this afternoon?

Anika: That’s lovely of you, Otto, but could we take a rain check? I’m a little tired. Otto: Sure, anytime.

Anika: Aw, Otto is such a sweetheart, had I fallen in love with him instead of that geek Alexander everything would be so much easier. Why is life so unfair?

[anamoon63]

Anika: Hey, wait, maybe if I tell Alex about math, he’ll offer to help me like Otto did. He’d go to my house to study with me. That’d be a great opportunity for us to be alone together.

Anika: Nah, that wouldn’t work. Alex is such a nerd he sure wouldn’t want to do anything other than study.

[anamoon63]

Back in the classroom, checking her phone again. There is only one message from Otto: “Hey Nika, what did the teachers want? Don’t tell me they found out about math?”

Otto, again worried about her. If only Alexander would do the same…

Well, if Alex knew she copied the answers to the math problems, he wouldn’t be worried but rather upset. He’d probably scold her for not studying hard enough. 🙄

[anamoon63]

It's not long before the bell rings. Anika goes to get a glass of water and is about to drink it when one of the teachers calls her to his table. Anika: Oh, no. What did I do now? It's only the first day and they're all over me?

The teachers only wanted to know how Anika’s father is doing and if everything is all right at home. Anika: My dad is okay. He’s still as famous, rich and handsome as ever. Why do you ask…? Of course that’s not what Anika answered them. She just told them her father is fully recovered and will be back to work soon. Her family is doing good too.

Anika: If you don’t believe me, you can go to my house and talk to my parents in person. Apparently, that won’t be necessary, the teachers seemed satisfied with the answer and left. Thank goodness!

[anamoon63]

Well, since he isn’t showing any signs of life, Anika decides to “revive” him by sending him a selfie.

Alex didn’t react to her selfie, so Anika gets fed up and calls him on the phone. Alexander: Hey Nikkie, why are you calling me? I’m at school. Anika: It’s lunchtime, silly. Alexander: Yeah, well, I used my lunch break to study in the library. Anika: Study? On the first day? You’re such a nerd.

That was the shortest call in the world, but at least she knows Alexander was in the library studying and not checking on the new girls at lunch hour.

[anamoon63]

Anika actually enjoyed her meal very much. Man, she was starving! Yeah, Life is good�� or should be.

Except Alexander hasn’t her called yet. Where is that rascal, and what is he doing? Isn’t it lunchtime?

Everyone is over there, enjoying their lunch and discussing the ins and outs of the first day of school, while she’s over here, brooding because of Alexander...

[anamoon63]

Lunch time, everyone is hungry, and Anika is no exception. Anika: Excuse me, coming through... Yep, that's my lunch there. As she makes her way to her food, Anika notices Otto isn't in a good mood. Anika: Otto? Are you okay? Otto: Oh, yeah, I'm perfect. I've just been waiting in line for my lunch like - forever?

Anika: Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, Otto. Here, you can take mine if you want. I owe you one anyway, you know, for the math problems. Otto: What? Oh, no way, that was no charge, please enjoy your meal. Ethan: These two should get a room already...

[anamoon63]

Unfortunately, all she can think about is Alexander. It’s a real shame that he’s going to another high school.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Alex could study at the same high school as her? They would spend all their time together!

Anika: Stop dreaming, Anika, that’s never gonna happen…. Besides, once Alex returns to school, he always goes AWOL.

[anamoon63]

The teacher has asked them to solve some problems, equations and stuff. Anika: (Mumbles) Just great... Otto: Okay, these are the easy ones. Anika: Are they? Otto: Yeah, I can solve them in my sleep.

Anika: Uh, do you think you could pass me the answers? Otto: Sure, or I could explain to you how to solve them anytime. Anika: That's very kind of you Otto. Thank you. Otto: You're welcome.

Otto is so cute, he’s always there to help. Anika knows that’s because he has a crush on her.

[anamoon63]

Copperdale High School, 8 am...

Summer is over, Anika is back in school, alone again, since as we already know, Lukas and Kennedy graduated early because of their good grades.

This was not the case for Anika, so she had to go back to school with her usual classmates. Among them Ethan Caliente and her loyal friend Otto. Class is about to start; everyone rushes to check their social networks, cause once they start there’s no way they’ll be allowed to use their phones.

The teacher comes with all the enthusiasm in the world to teach his algebra, calculus, or whatever he’s writing on the board. Anika doesn’t understand a peep of what he’s saying or is interested in it at all. What good is math going to do her, when she’s bound to be a successful actress?

[anamoon63]

And that's all (for now) about The Cho Brothers, Hidden Springs edition with Tyron, the oldest of the brothers as the protagonist. I'm closing with these photos of Hidden Springs at sunset, and a bonus photo of Jasper's house, with the Fire Engine included. 😉

Next up is a bit of The Wilson's, though I must confess I don't play The Sims 4 much anymore, you know, it's impossible for me to enjoy the game with updates every month and all those add-ons and events. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but it's a real pain to update all the gazillion mods I use, each time, to make the game work as it should.

Anyway, I love the Wilsons to pieces, so we'll continue to see something on them, but sadly maybe not as much and not as often as before. First, I would need to be able to play that game in peace and quiet to take more photos to show you, which is difficult for me now with EA constantly messing around with changes to the game. But don't worry, the Wilsons are staying with us., though it may take me longer to take proper screenshots of them.

*(End of the Sims 4 rant) *

-------

What will continue as usual are my posts on The Sims 3. Like I had already told you, in a few days we'll be back to the University with Dale, Kelly and company.

We'll see as well a little more of Lucky Palms, with Terence and Cynthia, and a bit of trouble in paradise.

Then we'll return with Tyron, and his new life in Starlight Shores.

I take this opportunity to tell you that I've continued to update the story of the Cho Brothers on my blog de Wordpress, for those of you who want to read it from the beginning or catch up with any posts you may have missed since this game began, you can find it here:

Also, probably next month... Really, I don't want to make any promises, but hopefully, by the end of February or earlier, the first episodes of my story Time Traveler. Part Three: To the Moon and Back will finally be ready. Mind you, it may take us a while to see Robin, our main character, again, but we will see some of his wife Ann, and the Shens, especially Dustin and Juliette in the hours following Robin's abduction.

Honestly, I hope I can keep up with everything, cause it's already difficult as it is to sit down and put my posts together. I'm juggling with two sim games, different stories and gameplays, not to mention work and real life stuff.

But don't worry, I promise this very year we will find out what happened to Robin Crane after he was abducted by aliens. We will also know who his parents are and why they had to separate from him. So prepare to go To the Moon and Back, and for lots and lots of drama! 😉

Until then, you can catch up with the latest episodes of the story, or read from the beginning if you must, on my WordPress blog here:

[anamoon63]

Katie: I’m sorry daddy, but if I want to be a model like mom, I don’t need to go to the University. Liam: Your mother got a degree; modeling was just a hobby. Wendy: You could pursue a career in Physical Education. That would help you with modeling. Katie: I’ll think about it. Just remember I became a young adult today. Whether I go to the University or to Starlight Shores is entirely my decision. (Katie is right. It doesn’t mean her parents agree).

Wendy and Liam know exactly the reason why Katie wants to go to Starlight Shores: that reason is named Tyron Cho.

(To be Continued).

[anamoon63]

MEANWHILE, AT THE O’DOURKE’S HOUSEHOLD…

Wendy: Katie? Where have you been all day? We missed you for lunch. Katie: I went to the beauty salon; I was sick of those silly pigtails. Wendy: Well, I must say you look lovely, my dear. Katie: Thanks mom. I might change hairstyle again later, but for now this one's fine. Wendy: By the way, your dad and I want to talk to you about your enrollment in the University.

Yes, that's right. The O’Dourkes want their daughter to go to college immediately, but the ‘new’ Katie has other plans… One of them, moving to Starlight Shores... Wait. Starlight Shores? What on earth is Katie going to do there. The University is right on the opposite side!

[anamoon63]

Tyron: Now stay here for a bit while I make breakfast for us, okay? Brandi: Mommy coming? Tyron: No, not today. Brandi: Where is she? Tyron: Uh, she’s…working. Brandi: I want mommy!

Yeah, it’s not going to be easy for Tyron to explain to Brandi why her mommy isn’t coming, and why she won’t be going with them to Starlight Shores either. Sooner or later he’ll have to, but not right now. Tyron needs some peace and quiet to think about everything that’s coming up for him.

[anamoon63]

Tyron and Brandi's 'temporary home' is none other than Terence's former house, where he and Cynthia, and even Dale and Kelly lived before they all left Hidden Springs. Now, with his brother's permission, it's Ty's turn to occupy it, though it will only be for a couple days, then he'll leave, too.

The house is quite comfortable, and has everything they could possibly need, including a packed refrigerator. Both he and Brandi are hungry, so…
