Just as different people generate multiple, conflicting interpretations of a single moment in time, one narrator may convey multiple, conflicting theories about a single event.

The Ramirez family had a normal day. Since Lisa's once again unemployed, she's running the household. And greeting guests. She tries to not bring up everything she saw when she wandered in on Kent's housewarming party.

wow new neighbors all over the place yippee

Armando is the easiest sim baby I've ever dealt with. He literally never wants or needs anything he's just chillin all day. Tessa came home and got herself a job as a nanny because all she wants is to make money.

Martin's predestined hobby is science. He wanted a telescope and the family certainly had the money to spare.

We experience events in association with an ongoing story about who we are, in which we struggle to achieve coherence and continuity rather than objective truth. Similarly, our memories do not consist of snapshots of our experiences; rather, we store our experiences in memory in connection with a web of associations that is consistent with our narrative. Further, each time we store or recall an event, we invoke and reconstruct ("re-member") not an isolated occurrence but the entire web of associations: our story. This storytelling is central to the protean self's capacity to shift shape while sustaining its inner form.

Who do you pair Chester Gieke up with to have cute babies? In my game he's cute but his kids end up like gremlins

Chester Gieke - Brandi Broke

Chester Gieke - Melody Tinker

Chester Gieke - Kent Capp

Chester Gieke - Samantha Ottomas

(I do like his itty bitty nose)

Honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask this because I don't just let sims have children jaja. They have a baby, I merge the parent's faces in CAS until I get something I like, I replace the baby's face with that.

Just gameplay wise I do enjoy having him meet Lisa Ramirez and let ACR do its thing... they have such a ridiculous amount of chemistry. Their kids come out either really pretty and interesting or completely wonky, not in between

Companion piece to

Bail

Not Now, Not Ever

Conjugal

It’s four in the morning during his second month of incarceration that Jeff realises where the gun is. That weapon had been the crux of his whole trial, his gun, his bullets, his crime.

They’d never found it but the ballistics were enough to put the nail in his coffin.

You had done everything you could to find it, to prove his innocence. You’d hired a PI to follow Lisa, trying to track down the location, and Jeff had wracked his brain trying to figure it out. The two of you had created a timeline, Haye’s death up until when his body was found and the police had turned up at Lisa’s place and then subsequently Jeff’s. There were only a limited amount of places that Lisa could have stashed it in that short space of time.

Now that he doesn’t have your visits to look forward, he has lot more time on his hands. The guys still take it in turns to visit. Severide had reamed him out over ending things with you, but he knew the other man understood. Hermann had promised to keep an eye on you, you were part of the family after all and so was Jeff, it doesn’t matter that he’s locked up. Capp regales him with firehouse antics whilst Casey assures him they’re doing everything in their power to work on his appeal.

After each visit he lies in his bunk and he thinks about you, the snippets of news he’s received from his visitors. You’re working more shifts, burying yourself in your work. You’d almost gotten yourself arrested for harassing Lisa, but Antonio had let you off with a warning. It had been the day after Jeff had terminated his visits with you. He wishes you’d just let it go, that you’d forget about him and move on but he knows it isn’t that easy. If your roles were reversed, he would be doing exactly the same thing.

He had never told you that Lisa had come to visit him a few dayss before Hayes was killed. She’d drove past the old house and found herself sitting in the garden underneath the tree they used to have picnics under in the summer. It had been sold almost six months before but the family had decided to renovate it before moving in, leaving it vacant.

“Do you remember carving our initials into that tree before you were deployed the last time?” She had asked him as they’d sat on his porch. He didn’t want her in the house, that was your place, the home you had created together, he hadn’t wanted this ex-wife to taint it. “They’re still there Jeff.”

There had been a nook in that tree, a vacant space. He used to hide Easter eggs in there for Lisa’s nieces and nephews so they could hunt for them over the holiday.

“I want to try again,” She’d told him, reaching for his hand. “I know we can be happy.”

He’d withdrawn then, crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned back against the railing. If it had been a couple of years before, he would have jumped at the chance to rekindle their marriage but now he has a home, a family and he wouldn’t give that up for the world.

“I am happy.” He’d told her. “I’m building a life with someone else, I’m in love with someone else.”

She’d been furious after that, angry, tearful. He’d tried to pacify her but she’d climbed back into her car and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

He has to wait to make his phone call to Antonio Dawson, it’s a tedious process but he’d gotten used to it back in the military. He plays solitaire to pass the time because he can’t focus on the book he’s been trying to read. He doesn’t dare allow himself to hope that he’s right.

It’s the next day that Antonio comes to see him, the two of them sit across from each other. The convict and his arresting officer.

“We found the gun, along with her bloody shirt in the tree, just like you said. Her fingerprints where on both the weapon and the bullets.” Antonio tells him, his hands clasped together on the surface of the table. “The family moved into the house a few days after Haye’s death, she couldn’t risk going back to retrieve them.”

“When she came over that day, she wanted to get back together…” Jeff says, shaking his head. “I wonder if she had this in mind all along.”

“When she found out Hayes was cheating on her, it looks like she came to you for comfort and when she couldn’t get that she decided to take out two birds with one stone by killing him and framing you.” Antonio tells him, his jaw clenching as he looks around at the other tables. “You don’t deserve to be here Jeff, and I’m sorry for my part in that.”

“You were doing your job.” Jeff tells him, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in his seat. “I don’t love how it turned out but I couldn’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing if I was in your position. I just need to know what happens now.”

“Your lawyer will be getting in contact later today to go through the process with you, it may take a few days but you’ll be released, your record expunged, then I’m guessing they’ll be a conversation about compensation.” Antonio explains before meeting the other man’s gaze. “I’ve spoken to Boden about getting you reinstated, he’s working on and Noelle…”

Jeff’s body tenses at the mention of your name because he can’t allow himself to entertain the possibility of you stepping back into his life, not after all of this.

“She said she’ll be waiting for you when you step outside those gates. Both her and Rocco can’t wait for you to come home.”

Like My Work? - Why Not Buy Me A Coffee

[sillysoraya]

I've been enjoying playing my maxis uberhood recently. I made quite a few premades into townies or just am choosing not to play some households except to age sims up manually every now and then, as it's overwhelming enough as it is! It's maybe 36 households currently I think, so it's taken ages to play 11 days each!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to list the babies born so far, and the ones due in the next round:

Born so far: Pascal Curious & Alien = Qi Curious Samantha & Peter Ottomas = Leah Ottomas Brandi & Skip Broke = Betty Broke Jenny & PT Smith = Joseph Smith Ana & Ramir Patel = Uma Patel Dina & Mortimer Goth (was Caliente) = Yuri Goth Wanda & Stephen Tinker = Aria Tinker Sophia & Marcel Jocque = Blue & Blanche Jocque (twins) Circe & Loki Beaker = Cassiphone Beaker Vidcund Curious & Alien = Dag Curious Pascal & Nervous Curious (was Subject) = Enya Curious Lisa & Checo Ramirez = Fabio Ramirez Jennifer & John Burb = Grace Burb Rose & Jason Greenman = Hibiscus Greenman Ana & Ramir Patel = Inaya Patel Kaylynn Langerak & Daniel Pleasant = Jared Pleasant

And currently pregnant: Cassandra & Darren Dreamer (was Goth) Titania & Oberon Summerdream Circe & Loki Beaker Albany Capp & Alien (twins) Lisa & Checo Ramirez Opal & Edward Contrary Armand & Samantha DeBateau (was Cordial) Chastity Gere & Gabriel Green Bianca Monty & Vidcund Curious (twins)

I'm really looking forward to seeing all these kids grow into teens and start running around hanging out, and seeing their genetics play out! I'll post an update once I've got a bunch of born in-game children, so we can see how they look a bit better than the usually-bizarre toddler stage.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day

I was gifted the book Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War! The book is being published by an imprint of Lerner books (www.lernerbooks.com). The book was researched by children’s author, Talia Aikens-Nunez whose previous publications include the OMG series. Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War is a nonfiction chapter book. While war history is not really my favorite subject to read about, Aikens-Nunez does a great job of capturing your attention with a great introduction. The book is filled with great facts and maps at the beginning of each chapter. I love the inclusion of a glossary as well as a bibliography. While it was a struggle for me to read because of the topic, I really appreciated learning about a facet of history I was not super-familiar with before.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/22) is in its 10th year! This non-profit children’s literacy initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.

Ten years in, MCBD’s mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in homes and school bookshelves continues. Read about our Mission & History HERE.

I didn't forget about them this time! It's their final day of vacation.

They kinda did everything though, so I had them play in the sand a bit then head home.

Their high-rise apartment was a pink soup factory, plus they needed out of downtown. Bluewater Village has some promising new apartments.

Their visit to the island had them agree that they needed to be somewhere with a little bit of beach access. Sure the beaches aren't quite the same but it's not city smog.

Kent once again had to throw a housewarming party and invite almost every member of the family plus his friends. he's got wealth to show off.

Lisa Ramirez heard word that someone new moved in and was greeted. She walked in on the party right as it was starting to pick up. her first impressions have got to be great. there's a makeout session, a fight, and a guy explaining stocks to his very disinterested wife right in front of the door.

NO KENT DOUGLAS IS ON HIS WAY HOME YOU WILL GET CAUGHT!! The action was done before he got home... they were safe. but seriously kent... douglas hasn't even been in that bed yet.

BUT! I think this is the first time I've ever seen a jealousy event stem from gossip. Kent was literally just chatting with John. At first I feared he tried to hit on John, but Douglas was mad at Martin. I don't even exactly know who told...

...but i do have some theories. to be fair, it could have been tybalt OR alex, because both of them love gossiping. literally every time they're in a room with each other they just gossip back and forth. they went from just met to best friends that way while i wasn't even on either of their rounds. also could have been someone else but idk who.

today is just everyone kicks martin ruben's ass day. he was asked politely but firmly to leave. kent got right to apologizing. their marriage may be saved, but at what cost?

Kent had to work that night and Doug found solace in stargazing, as usual.

[lurking-lilibeth]

Lisa leaves for work early in the morning. She doesn’t plan to retire yet - in fact, she got a promotion not so long ago and it seems like she might get another one sooner rather than later. 

That, however, means that Checo has to run the Ramirez Community Center by himself for now. He’s doing well enough... but not too well. A reporter comes by the Center but leaves without a promise of a good review (thankfully, he doesn’t threaten to give a bad one either), and then the barista quits because Checo is unable to pay her on time.
