Sorry for not being here much, I've been a bit busy, but I thought I'd take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas, in case you celebrate it; if not, very happy holidays anyway to all of you, your families and of course your sims. 😉 May your homes be filled with love and blessings in the closing year, and in the one about to come. Be safe, be happy, I love you all. 🤗❤️

Finally, around noon, suitcase in hand, Allan is back home. Kennedy and Anika came out to greet him. Anika: Wait, what is he wearing? Kennedy: Don't ask.

Nobody asked, and a few hours later, Allan is dressed in his regular clothes, ready to go out and celebrate his return with his family. While Zoe and the rest went to change, Allan and Zeke waited for them in the kitchen. Zeke: So what did you do at that relab clinic? Allan: (Chuckles) It's rehab, and we didn't do much, we just relaxed, painted, exercised, took naps, you know, the usual.

Zeke: Was the food good? Allan: Not as good as your mom's, but it was pretty decent. There wasn't any fast food, though. Zeke: Did they have a bar? Allan: (Gets serious). No, Z, there were no bars there, and there won't be one here anymore either, I assure you. Zeke: That's good. I don't want you to get sick again. Allan: I won't, I promise, buddy.

[anamoon63]

Nothing to worry about, Zoe has come to the rescue with breakfast.

Things may not be quite settled with her and Allan, but a good breakfast has never lacked at the Wilsons' table and today will be no exception. Especially not today.

All in all, Zoe is happy to have her beloved Allan home again. It's about time!

[anamoon63]

Lukas: Hey, Nikkie, you made breakfast. Anika: Yeah, but I don't recommend it. Lukas: Why not?

Anika then tells her brother about her little misadventure with the saltshaker. Anika: … So it turned out a bit too salty. Lukas: Oh, well, I think I'll pass, then. Anika: If you're not eating, would you wash those dirty dishes, please? We don't want Dad sitting at a messy table.

[anamoon63]

Anika wanted to surprise her family by making breakfast for them, but she had a little accident with the saltshaker.

Anika: Ah, sure it's fine, but I'll still try it first.

Anika: Aw, no, too much salt, now no one will want to eat this!

[anamoon63]

Next to arrive in the kitchen is Kennedy, who immediately starts goofing around with Zeke.

She knows he's been pretty sad all these days, but this morning he obviously looks cheerful.

[anamoon63]

Luckily, she has the help of Zeke, who also got up early and is helping her wash the dishes.

Apollo was the second to arrive to the kitchen, he too has been a bit lost without his owner. Zeke: You heard the news, Apollo? Dad's coming home. Isn't that great? Apollo: Meow. Yeah, just in time, cause Apollo, like everyone else here, misses Allan too much.

[anamoon63]

The next morning, 7 am.

It's finally dawn! The sun is streaming through the windows of the bedroom where Zoe has slept alone for several months now.

She doesn't wait for the alarm clock to ring, and gets out of bed immediately. In truth, she could hardly sleep knowing that today is the day Allan returns, with all that implies.

Anyway, the first thing to do is to tidy up a bit. Admittedly, she's been slacking off since Allan left. But it's been enough rest, it's time to get back to her chores.

[anamoon63]

Meanwhile, Anika had a bit of a hard time trying to explain to Zeke why people go to a rehab clinic.

But apparently her explanation, (quite adapted to her little brother's tender age of course), was enough, and he went to sleep calm and happy knowing that his father is well and will soon be back home.

Kennedy on the other hand, took a while to fall asleep, so she preferred to go to the living room to exercise a bit before going to bed. She is also happy with Allan's return, but she's a little worried about her own dilemma: Orange or Yosef, Yosef or Orange?

[anamoon63]

The evening before the return, Lukas went for a walk to the beach and stayed there for a while, drawing pictures in the sand and other silly stuff to make the time pass faster.

He is impatient for his father to return. He has so many questions to ask him about life and love. Maybe Allan can advise him whether he should go ahead with Savannah or try again with Lucas.

[anamoon63]

Back at the Wilson's home in Brindleton Bay.

The days without Allan continued to pass for the Wilson family, each of them trying to cope with life as best they could.

But happily, today is the last day they will spend without him, as he will be released from the rehab clinic tomorrow. Anika is one of the happiest; we know she adores her dad, and just like the rest of the family, she misses him so much.

Yes, everyone is excited about Allan's return, although to tell the truth, Zoe is a little worried, as she doesn't know how things will go between them after everything that's happened.

[TS3] Less Banding

Haii honey buns!!! :3

This is an ASI mod for TS3 that addresses banding by giving the game a bit more color depth. Unlike my older attempt using shaders, this one doesn't have any weird artifacts!

Download: Patreon (Free)

Instructions are in the post. Simply drop wininet.dll and BandingFix.asi into your Game/Bin folder in your Sims 3 installation directory.

As a caveat, screenshots taken in-game will still appear banded as normal. You can get around this by using print screen or an external screenshot tool and using F10 to hide the UI.

Kayla's response to Tyron's unexpected invitation was not a resounding yes, though. She's asked him for time to think about it. She wants to be sure that they do have a future together. Also, in case she accepts, she won't be able to move in right away, she'll have to settle her work obligations and notify her parents ahead of time. As she walks away, Tyron's phone rings; that must be his next Sing-a-gram client.

And… today's Sing-a-gram goes to Gywneth Dipperson! Jasper's cousin. Again. Just great. Tyron: (To himself) Yeah, one of the things I'll finally get rid of when I leave Hidden Springs is bumping into members of the Goth family all the time... Wait, Grandma Tanya is still there! Did she see him with Kayla? If she did, that's okay, he'll explain to her later. He's sure she'll understand. And so will Mom, and the rest of the family, hopefully.

[anamoon63]

Tyron: Yes, but only if you want to. Now, keep in mind I still don't know where I'm going to live, or if I'll be able to sustain myself there. We might be a little cramped at first, but maybe if we both work and you help with the bills, we could…

Now it's Kayla who interrupts him with a kiss, again not caring that they're in the middle of the Spring Festival. Tyron doesn't know if it's too soon to ask Kayla to share his life when it's still in chaos, but they say one devil drives out another, maybe starting something with Kayla is the easiest way to move on and forget about Candice once and for all.

[anamoon63]

Tyron: So if I'm given the custody, I won't wait, I'll move out right away. Kayla: And you'll get it for sure, so I won't see you anymore. Tyron: Well, maybe you could travel there once in a while. Or better yet, you could come with me. If you want to, of course. And if it's not a problem for your career. Kayla: It wouldn't be, on the contrary, I think there would be much more scope for an Architectural Designer there, and…

Kayla: Wait, did you say, 'you could come with me'? Tyron: Yeah. Kayla: You mean as a guest, a roomie or…? Tyron: What I meant is we could move in together. Kayla: Together? As in a couple?

[anamoon63]

Tyron: It's not just the divorce, it's also Brandi's custody trial, I don't think it's going to be easy. Kayla: Come on, Ty, I'm sure the judges will give custody to you. For obvious reasons. Tyron: Yeah, me too. But if I do get it, then nothing will tie me to Hidden Springs anymore. Kayla: (Gloomily) So it's a done deal, you're moving to Starlight Shores. Tyron: Yeah, I'm sorry, but I can't be the local starlet forever and I can't advance my career here.

Tyron: There aren't even enough venues to sing in. Besides, everyone knows that all the action for a singer happens at Starlight Shores. Only there will I meet the right people with the right venues. Kayla: Yeah, I guess if you wanna really make it these days you gotta go where the limelight is. Tyron: That's right.
