LA FIESTA TECH (part 1)

we're off to a great start

next

Most of the uni experience was focused on Ceres and Atom since they had the most non uni related wants.

Ceres, finally out of the house, pretty much immediately approached the first woman she saw, Ariel Gicias

it went well...

Meanwhile Atom went around campus looking for something to do (preferably far away from his sister). He ended up finding a club and Ms Monica Bratford.

the two of them hit it off really well. They spent all day together but by nightfall Atom's whole werewolf thing happened-

-and he may have bit Monica

but it's all good, she's a knowledge sim, so she's cool with it.

like really into the werewolf thing

Everyone passed their first year without much trouble and Ludvig and the twins were due to move in.

i did not ask for this i did not even know they met before they don't even like each other Ludvig has like 1 bolt of chemistry. Moving on

Monica took Atom out on another date at the bowling alley.

They both had a grand time getting accuainted with the sorority girls and frat guys

and turning unsuspecting townies into werewolves

back on campus the smiths were super excited to meet their alien cousin Octavius. Justin quickly discovered why the two never spoke before. Sometimes I forget Octavius is full grouchy AND full shy so it's crazy hard to befriend him without macros.

Everyone passed this year without trouble too

Ceres, being a romance sim, seemed like the perfect candidate to join the Sorority. I've never actually had a sim try and join one so I didn't know what to expect.

So when the entire squad started filling the common room and swapping into togas I did not know how to act

Good news is after like 2 attempts she was friends with everyone and got to join

she's really excited if you can't tell

i had her move out right away to join them

and thats it for this post, im out of photo slots, but the next one should be up soon

Reblog if you are a simblr of either the Sims 2 or the Sims 3 (or both).

I wanna support more simblr accounts despite have being retired from Sims role playing myself, especially since they're overshadowed by the Sims 4 nowadays. I have nothing against those who enjoy the Sims 4, but as a long time simmer I still wish to support other fellow simmers who are active in the same simblr as the one I grew up with. 🫶🏻

And yes, you're free to reblog this even if you're retired but still love the Sims!

GOTHS ROTATION 6

B-...Bella...

Previously // Next

just to recap

Bella got caught flirting with the butler Eltanin Fuse. Obviously Christa did NOT take this well (wait until she finds out about the other 12)

Hsu, who at the moment is STILL Bella's fiancee, has to deal with this guy in her home daily because Bella pays the bills.

While she's busy losing her head about Mr Fuse, Bella is out collecting more lovers just outside the door. I don't think she's spent a single night alone since she moved into the containers.

After she met some of the Strangetown tourists, Craig, one of her former lovers, invited her on a romantic garden date. The two of them had a great night together and enjoyed some alone time before she had to head back home to her kid

NOT SO SINGLES ROTATION 6

Honeymoons and Hail

previously // next

With Erin and Lola being newly weds I thought it was about time I let them get the sunny island vacation they both wanted for so long

You'd think after spending her whole life in a desert town Erin would be a bit better about knowing when to cool off and get out of the sun, but she spent most of the vacation a little sun burnt

Lola was more interested in hanging out at the hotel and trying all the fun foods the Twikki islands had to offer.

Erin was a bit more adventurous hence why she got all the fun pictures

i tried hosting a little welcome back birthday party but Kristen decided to make it all about her that day

After the two were separated Erin and Lola finally got to age up into elders

look how cute they are!!

[bog-water-030]

GRUNTS ROTATION 6

Bad things are coming...

Previously // Next

Just as a recap Kristen Loste and Buzz grunt are married and had a kid, Burpee

Jill Smith also got married to Buck grunt and had a kid around the same time named Fartlek (like the exercise) and is currently pregnant again

Kristen's birthday fell on the very first day of the rotation so they had a whole party for her when she got back from work. She's certainly serving glamma in a way

After much pressure from Kristen (and bullying from Buzz) Stella and Tank finally got married after years of dating.

They both moved out as soon as they tied the knot. I assume to avoid the inevitable backlash, since Tank intends to take on the Terrano name. After everything he's let Stella suffer through with his dad I didn't think it was right she take his name

They'll get their own spot on the rotations as the Terranos

Little Burpee had his birthday the next day, he's shaping up to look a lot like his dad!

With Tank in the law enforcement gig maybe he could be the heir to the Grunt legacy instead

And of course since I can never have a moment of peace Jill has her kid in the middle of her brothers birthday party. Yay

Meet the first grunt girl Tupolev, like the jets

Baby fartlek had his birthday too! He's... Green... that's my only opinion. He looks like his uncle Johnny too..

While I don't think Buzz will ever really grow out of his alien hatred he doesn't seem to mind Fartlek as much. They even shared a bed while everyone was getting his room in order.

And baby Tupolev had her birthday the very next day! So cute!

They didn't throw a party but Ripp did hear about his new niece around town so he stopped by anyway. After all these years Ripp and Buck are still best friends, even if he's not ready to step away from the life Buzz built for him.

But I guess that doesn't matter much

Seeing as he DIED OF OLD AGE.

Kristen did not handle it well, poor thing.

But with all the insurance money she did get a renovation on some of the house a matching kitchen and dining room set up, a new bed and shower and bedrooms for the kids. A little retail therapy really got her back in shape for the next round

SMITH - NIGMOS - GRUNT ROTATION 6

previously // next

Just to recap Oslo aged up with the primary aspiration of Romance. Her half sister Aria is just 1 day younger than her so she needed to wait a whole rotation before aging up lol.

She didn't roll the want to throw a party and Johnny had work that day so I didn't see any point wasting simoleons on a birthday cake. Especially since she was sick with the flu and wouldn't be in any mood for the whole celebration

Anywho she aged up super well and rolled the Fortune aspiration, and pretty much immediately rolled the want to get a job.

She opted for the Delivery career and got promoted on her first day

She's been doing super well at school so it was no surprise when she came home with an A plus, even with the new job

And after a couple days of not much she got to the top of the career track, earning herself another scholarship! Go Aria!

Little Lucy, our black cat, aged up too and is now an elder :{

And Ophelia earned herself a raise as a barista.

lastly Ripp finally got his gold talent badge in pottery, he's shaping up to be quite the breadwinner lol. He's also half way to his aspiration goal. Still not sure if he'll make it before he ages up but he's making good progress considering all the delays!

And that's it for this round! next round the kids should be heading off to college so maybe we'll get more action from the OG trio. Unfortunately with the curious' being the majority of the town Oslo didn't get to do much as she doesn't have any teens to really date, maybe college will be different tho

SMITHS ROTATION 6

Full house now in mint flavour

Previously // Next

Rebecca and David have been hanging out a lot more often now. Becca has no interest in college so she'll be staying in Strangetown with him after high school. Her grades weren't that great anyways so it's not like she's missing out on much.

Jenny, after years of hard work, finally gets to retire and live out her stay at home mum fantasy, even without a husband.

Jonah has been wanting to go to private school for ages now and I thought we would all be okay to invite the headmaster over. I was wrong. He was gone in like an hour

Poor baby Scout is an elder. He retired from his job too and gets to spend the rest of his days snoozing in the sun.

As I said, Rebecca is not going off to college, so for her birthday she gets to have a family reunion

While Johnny didn't show up Jill did, and got everyone super excited about the new "Smith" (Grunt) baby.

Rebecca aged up fairly well, though she likely won't keep her job at Loners Grocers to find something with better pay

A few days later the quads all aged up

Jack rolled Popularity 

Jade rolled Family

Jasper rolled Fortune

and Jude rolled Pleasure.

And it was Twins Jessica and Justin's birthday too. despite Justin's lacklustre grades he did qualify for La Fiesta with his sister! hooray!

oh and Rebecca set the house on fire. No biggie ofc. Everyone survived

With so many kids growing up and moving out. Jenny was feeling a little sentimental. She was getting old and grey and with so much spare room there's so reason not to expand her family some more.

And so her and Bruce finally tied the knot, both keeping their own last names (because changing so many names would be such a legal disaster...

[bog-water-030]

BEAKERS ROTATION 6

once again it's pure chaos

Previously // Next

To start, the twins Atom & Ceres both made it into college despite their awful grades. You can find them in my next La Fiesta Tech post. They both aged up pretty badly and didn't get a scholarship like everyone else in town.

Loki had his birthday too. Becoming an elder is making him realise how little time he truly has left, so he's coming up with a few interesting ideas...

Space has been sneaking out everyday to meet his siblings and friends. His grades are suffering for it but realistically I don't think him or his dad would ever care.

This particular night was busy enough without him anyway...

Loki's first experiment included self induced lycanthropy, so he'd have more energy to work on his experiments over night.

Circe, without the luxury of maternity leave and running out of genie money, has been looking for quick and easy money, but got a bit too excited on her test prints.

When the police and firemen came, she knew getting caught with the machine would get her some pretty hefty fines (if not jailtime). With no way to get rid of the machine she decided to run into every individual flame until the counterfeit cash printer was destroyed beyond recognition. Every single one. And she LIVED.

Back to Loki's project--

Discovering Space's repeated fleeing, and with new unfounded strength, Loki thought he'd include his son in the experiment, turning him into a werewolf too. He couldn't imprison him (yet) but he still found new purpose in his nocturnal nature. I didn't know you needed a mod to get rid of that awful hair but not sure why the game decided he needed ginger roots to match...

Taking a little break from the madness, Ludvig is off to college too for the time being. IIRC he had some of the best grades in the family so he should have no trouble keeping up.

Harley gets to have the room all to themselves until its their turn for college

Circe had her elder birthday, and while she always dreamed of retirement she's still not made enough of a profit to quit just yet. She has one last plan in stock before she gets to enjoy her twilight years...

A plan that involves this guy! The family used the last of their genie money to buy up a cowplant named Beezlebeef, she is the goodest girl and lives on the balcony guarding the money trees. Best plant for the best plan.

CURIOUS D ROTATION 6

This one was a bit slow ngl

Previously // Next

The subject kids are getting along well with all their neighbours. Getting to meet their new family and catch up with all their milestones

Even baby Nomore got to learn how to talk in time for her birthday.

Jupiter aged up into an elder :( he's all gray

Nomore had a pizza party with all the kids in the apartment and finished up with a dance on the roof top

[bog-water-030]

CURIOUS C ROTATION 6

Previously // Next

Yet another short one.

I forgot Chloe was about to age up :( all the Curious' are getting old.

That didn't slow her down though, she went on another date the same day

And went out on the town in her finest? Lingerie? OK then

Meanwhile, Cosmo was having his birthday with his mama Ersa. She tried throwing him a party but nobody showed up.

And she doesn't handle rejection well :/

Unfortunately not much else happened. They went broke trying to renovate his room and without the help of a roommate they were all super busy painting and skill boosting to make rent.

[bog-water-030]

CURIOUS B ROTATION 6

Previously // Next

To start, Syzygy had her birthday this rotation! She aged up well enough though she didn't quite pick up on table manners it seems

Tycho brought her crush Gavin home to meet the family! He got along well with everyone it seems, and Tycho is even more in love with the guy

Orion had his birthday the next day. He rolled the Romance aspiration and his first set of wants all had to do with meeting someone new and flirting around

Since he didn't have a birthday party or a cake I thought a trip to the pool was a good way to make it up to him

And... oops all Curious

All curious. Only Curious. It was all so much green. No dice for Orion.

Moving on from Orions love quest, Tycho met Gavin the next morning before school. With her going to college soon she wanted to tie all her loose ends and telling Gavin how she feels was one of them. It went well! They went to the pool and spent their whole afternoon together

[bog-water-030]

apologies for the lack of updates. i am relapsing on my sims 3 addiction/hj

i have like 2 rotations worth of screenies lined up so hopefully ill get them done this month

[bog-water-030]

CURIOUS + SPECTER ROTATION 6

Previously // Next

This rotation was a whole lot of nothing. Pascal was sick most of the rotation so he stayed home and slept while Erinyes did most of the baby care. The twins were already toddlers so it got a little hectic for a bit.

Thankfully they have a lot of experience with the Beaker twins, so taking care of both of them was simple enough, they all got to learn their key skills without much trouble.

Erebus ended up a Capricorn while Calypso grew up to be a Gemini. Both ended up being adorable clones of their parents.

There were a LOT of birthdays though. Octavius went to La Fiesta Tech, he's not quite sure what he wants to do with himself once he gets there but he's got the grades to keep up

Nyx had her birthday soon after. She's still as adorable as ever. She grew into a Family sim and rolled the LTW to raise twenty pups and kittens. So cute!

Lastly Erebus and Calypso both had their birthdays at the very end of the rotation. So far they're doing well at school. it's a shame Octavius wasn't there to congratulate them but he'll be moving back in after college so they wont be apart for long

[bog-water-030]

[bog-water-030]

Omfg. The lovestruck pack may actually kill me. It's so sims 2/3 core with the weird super horny aura.

Cannot wait for the conversions, I have my soul set on that fucking eggplant.

LONERS ROTATION 5 + 6

Previously // Next

Firstly his corner store is finally racking up enough simoleons to be profitable

Although he's going through employees like crazy

Marsha came to visit on day 4, she revealed she was pregnant and Ajay really wanted to help her out and be involved with his baby.

So she's moving into his little house so they can raise their kid together.

Not much happened between then and the baby's birth ngl. Just a lot of work. So we'll skip to rotation 6.

Marsha and Ajay had an Aries son, Anu Trimble-Loner.

Anu's already a toddler making his way around the house.

Unfortunately this was one of the households that lost most of their screenshots, hopefully rotation 7 will be kinder.
