I’m getting an error message whenever I try to train a stallion.

You’ll want to redownload, there was a BCON error.

lauriempress replied to your photo “Camp Nano is back and we’re going to start doing some weekly word...”

Probably not good for me to start before my time on Sunday. I might be able to get there Tues or Wed. :)

No, probably not, but there are times you can do later in the week!

[penig]

lauriempress asked: For the ship meme.  How about Val and Dina?

Who needs a T-bird? They’ll have fun fun fun no one can take away.

Val spending money because that’s what it’s for; Dina letting him. Until she actually sees inside the checkbook, at which point she gasps in horror and sits down with Candy and makes a financial plan.

Double-dating with Rhett and Nina, in defiance of Mrs. Crumplebottom.

Chocolate fountain, champagne glasses.

Remembering late spouses together, late into the night, laughing and crying and a long slow woohoo which is, in a lot of ways, a foursome..

lauriempress replied to your photo:For StrangeTomato and anyone else having problems...

You’re shortcuts sound like they come from Karate Kid. “Snap on, Snap off, Daniel-san.”

lol Actually I’ve had the jingle for The Clapper commercial in my head since. “Clap on! Clap off! The Clapper!” XD

[totallymaxis]

Jill Smith as Primrose Everdeen.  It is easy to overlook the younger Everdeen sister, when you’re looking for Kick-ass ladies, but Primrose has a courage and dedication that easily matches the power of her loving nature.  I chose Jill because she was the first sim to come to mind when I thought of Prim, but the fact that her mother works in the medical field in my mind explains why Jill would choose Prim. @by lauriempress

lauriempress replied to your photoset “Cynthia gives birth to a baby boy (yay, finally some much needed...”

"I keep mentally renaming him to Harry Kim, because of the Star Trek Voyager," and because you said this, and because it rhymes, I'll keep trying to change it to Neelix, thanks. ;P (poor kid)

Oh no! XD Literally the worst Star Trek character ever. EVAR.

[direwidget]

lauriempress replied to your photo:My Boss.  This is right at the start of the game,...

Is it you, or Fuzzy without her dye job. ;)

Heh.  It's sort of me, but not really.  My boss always wears purple because that's the Saint's colour and I'm unoriginal.

[strangetomato]

Because of you, I've learned a new word! Compersion! Also, don't recall if I ever saw it or if my memory fell out but what are they in a group for?

Nice! I’m always happy to learn a new word, so that’s good news to me. :) The group is a mental health/illness peer support group. mdpthatsme replied to your photo “Compersion. I’m like the King of that.”

THIS IS FANTASTIC!

THANK YOU! :D san-myshuno-dreamin replied to your photo “I’m sorry, friend. :P”

The king sought guidance from the Watcher? hehe

Haha! Perhaps. I was also thinking he might be looking up and wondering why they’re all in this weird set location again. That moment every simmer has (or is it just me?) where they start to wonder if they’re becoming self-aware. lauriempress replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Oops I got mixed up about who Ripp's night was being shared with. My bad.

No worries. :) I suspect you weren’t the only one, just the only one who admitted it. I was hoping to play with expectations there a little. ejsims replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Sounds like they really need to bring Johnny into this conversation.

No doubt. *nods* I probably won’t rehash it, but rest assured that will happen eventually. pleasant-lives replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Lol. I'm like Rip

Guilty as charged. :P In the both the chips and the not wanting to share my chips. And also the sulking, I’ll admit, though I’ve been getting much better at that over the years. wickedjr89 replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Aww poor Rip :(

Ripp appreciates your sympathy. lauriempress replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Hmm, from that last line it sounds like the one he really needs to talk to is asleep upstairs.

We mention this above, but I was thinking that the fact that he said this line to her would reveal the truth about whose night it was supposed to be, but I don’t think it really came through clearly until the next post. *shrugs* Oh well. thisisej replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Ohohohoho! *insert surprised Chris Pratt GIF here*

Though I do think you figured out whose night it was, right? :P I like this reaction. A lot. :) penig replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Not like Ripp to be pissy, but he's also dealing with Dad feelings right now.

Ripp can definitely have his moody moments. The Dad feelings bring out the defensiveness, for sure. Getting into that head space probably takes him back to a time when that was his only recourse. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Looks like this is going to take more than just an apology. Maybe something they'll have to journal out and talk about in group.

Yes, perhaps. Definitely some communication is in order. :) jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Look at that face. :(

jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Poor Ripp. :(

Thank you for your reactions. :) vladora-sims replied to your photo “(part eight) “Well that was nice,” she said. “Unexpected.” ...”

I love the creative discretion shots : )

Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to figure out those shots, haha! I realized after I had done these that she was getting into her pjs instead, so I could have gone with the tank instead of the bra, but there’s no way I was re-doing it. :P holleyberry replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

*gets out my simlish dictionary*

I appreciate your dedication. haha. Maybe I should provide a translation? w-sims replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

This is so adorable!

Thank you! I’m glad you think so. :) timberwolfoz replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Awwww. :(

nicbemused replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Disappointed Ripp is disappointed. Poor baby.

I’ll answer these together. Thank you for your reactions. :) mdpthatsme replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Oh snap!

I like this reaction. heehee. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

I agree with Peni.

penig replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

You can share.

Yes, he certainly can. And he does. ;) pixelcurious replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

His facial expressions are PERFECT.

Thank you so much, Pixel! :D I couldn’t ask for a nicer compliment than that. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Damn! My hopes have been shattered.

Next time, Holley. Maybe next time. *makes note to deliver at a later date perhaps* ;) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part five) “Alright, let’s get you ready for bed,” she said,...”

...and then Ripp walks in.

Pretty obvious, right? :P esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

The 'your other father will string me up' line made me chuckle. Gotta love Ripp.

I’m glad you like that line. :) I imagine he’s right. Johnny probably wouldn’t approve of Ripp’s rule breaking, haha. He may be a tad too lawfully good? furryjackal replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Hahaha I love when Sims play Sims! Even mine do too.

Yeah, it’s funny, for sure. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Oh, I wonder who it was.

It was Buzz. I actually added a little link there for a refresher, because I’m sure people have forgotten. It’s been a while. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I love their cute little house.

Thanks. :) I love that lot, too. I really ought to get them a bigger one, because they don’t really fit there anymore, but I’m so attached! holleyberry replied to your photo “(part three) “Night night, little bean. How about you don’t come...”

Good daddies are sexy.

They sure are. :) Good mommies are too! ;) holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Also...Yay! More JRO!

holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Should have scrolled down a bit more

holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I'm hoping a reblog means an update soon!

I’m glad you were so enthusiastic about the update. It made me smile. :)

............................................................................................................................

And one anon ask that goes with this topic, too...

                                                                                                                              Anonymous said:                                                                     

i don't get it, why did ripp get offened? why do they have a sleeping schedule (erm,,, is it a sleeping or a sex schedule?)? i have been scrolling your tumblr for a while but couldn't find anything :C            

My response:

JRO have six children and four relationships to balance. There's most likely going to be some scheduling involved. Some might leave things to chance and inclination, but many people in polyamorous relationships do this. There's a lot of communication and often a lot of intentionality. This is, of course, different for every relationship(s). But even couples do this, especially once children come into the picture.

I don't imagine JRO started out that organized, but as children came along, and in the interest of fairness, this was the system that worked for them. They do leave room for spontaneity and flexibility, as illustrated by R leaving J&O to themselves even though it was unplanned. Of course, he also becomes jealous, but those sorts of things will invariably pop up too (and are not always logical), which brings us back to communication.

It’s a sleep schedule, yes. :P But woohoo often goes along with that. But then again, often it doesn’t. They're certainly not doing that every single night of the week. Well, maybe Ripp would be. haha.

I think it depends on whether you have a mod that allows you to get University careers without a degree, Pen, 'cause Show Business requires a diploma.

Well, that’s just silly! I guess that means there aren’t any teen versions of the job, either. I guess he can stop looking.

She looks happy to be out of the townie/adoption pool. Is it a mod that allows you to adopt townies?

Sort of. I use Simlogical's Teleporter Cat to teleport in/move in the townie children, then I can use the "Put up for adoption" option on them, and voila, they're in the adoption pool.
