Chapter 17 - What Is Snow

 Chapter 17 - What Is Snow

I have two parks - the one in Oasis Springs which I use mainly for the teens to use during the summer time. I modified them both to include more of the newer objects that came along during the development of the game, such as the skating, pools, and toddler slides.  The one in Willow Creek is targeted towards winter, with the only ice skating rink.

The island people don't know much about snow. So after Winterfest, Kade took the family out to Willow Creek park and have them experience snow first hand.

They were all newbies on skates.
No sandcastles here, but building a snowman was just as fun. It was a good day, with the sun out just after a good snow storm.
It also allow the islanders to meet some of the mainlanders. For Daniela and Tane, it was like going to Disneyland. There were all kinds of neat toys to play with here, but with the sun going down, they also learned that it gets cold here.  For someone always in swimming trunks, that thick coat was thick enough at sundown.  Time to go home.
The only TV on the island was located at the shack house and to satisfy the New Year's requirement of counting down, everyone showed up to watch the celebration on the 17" screen  pointing backwards. Technology and Islanders didn't quite blend well - they thought it was a fancy radio.
Daniela exploring. There is this path that goes up the hill and Daniela always wondered where it lead to, so on the last day of the holiday break, she took off a looking.
Theres a house here, interesting, but not as high as three peaks and it's almost a jungle.
She didn't see anyone home, so she went around the edge and not making any noise.
She got to a point where she can see the main beach down below through a clearing.  Nice view.
She continue on around and ran into some strange looking rocks. Those look like carvings, I wonder what that meant.
She has to tell Tane and Nani about this when she sees them.
When she came across Nani, she was telling her story and then suddenly she went into a child phase and totally forgot what she was talking about. This really frustrated her.
Leila had to go to a museum, so they gathered up the children and traveled to Willow Creek to visit the art gallery.  It's the only one in this game, but it did give a nice family portrait along with Tane, but he was considered as part of the family now.
It was the end of the holidays and time to get the children back to where they belong. The first stop was dropping off Nani and then on to Oliana's to drop off Tane.  His one week with the Helms is over.

Chapter 33 - Lucas

 Chapter 33 - Lucas When Christie broke up with Tane, she moved in with Lucas, who just lost his girl to the city with Blair moving in with Nani. A little bit of musical houses. Lucas, was a Jungle Explorer, which matches well with Christie's Archeology Scholar aspiration.  Christie also just aged up to Young adult and Lucas is not far behind. The only issue they had was money, but they had enough to do one three day visit to Selvadorada. Lucas Fyres is Morgan Fyres son.  The Fyres and the Bjergsen's in Windenburg are from the original save where the focus went from Windenburg to Sulani with the addition of Island Paradise.  Chapters 1-10 could be used to cover the time that Elsa Bjergsen meets Evie Delgato when they where children and they are close to being the same age. This along with my time at The Lighthouse and the Dresden house and the two sets of sisters that live there. Christie comes from the Strangeville add-on and is also about the same age as Tane and Daniela.  I

Chapter 32 - Moving On

 I using Pralinesims Flower and Tender overlay skins for now. I loose the tan lines when I do, going to try the default skins here soon and see what happens.  I like to get the tanning back in the picture, right now I believe its BetterBody default skin. Chapter 32 - Moving On With Daniela and Nani living in the city, I've been kinda stuck in the city with those two, so it was time for me to move on and see what's up with Tane at Pier Perfection. One big task I had with him was to break up or be just friends with the eight girlfriends he had.  Some were tough to let go, for all had their qualities.  The hardest was Christie, for she was living with him (and building character).  I just couldn't kick her out, so Lucas Fyres would eventually to the rescue. Without Daniela around, Tane wasn't the same. With all these girls, you would think he was in heaven, but none really fulfilled, there was always something missing. Allie was mostly writing, either on the computer or in

Chapter 15 - Move In

 Chapter 15 - Move In Having the calendar gives me the opportunity to put in break days for my Sims.  In the summertime, I have a one week summer break with one the days requiring fireworks and a barbecue and in the winter I have another one week break around Winterfest and New Years day.  I played the Ngata house at the Pier Perfection for a few days leading up to the winter break and decided to give Tane a break from his mom and spend it with the Helms. This required me to have Tane move in with the Helms, which required Oliana become friends with the Helms.  The easiest path was through Kade whom befriended Oliana enough to get Tane into the household. Oliana is a tough Sim to play for the slob trait isn't one of my favorites. I usually escape with Tane when I have a chance while playing this house. Oliana hugging Tane goodbye.  It's only one week - I promise.   Feast day. Tane was impressed with the number of games the Helms had on their computer. Leila's relationship w
