Hello and thank you to my newer followers!

These are my current Sims 4 series that will probably turn up on the dash at one point or another:

Story Mode:

* The Lunar Zodiac Challenge (Maxis Mix)    Cast: Diana Armstrong and her (hopefully) 12 daughters    (also a few LZC: Side Snippets, of the girls who’ve moved out)

* Kenzie Gets Her Groove Back (MMix)    Cast: Kenzie Holmes, Malia Nichols, Will Holmes - with appearances    by her family & other Very Special Guests

*  Magic Maeve  (Realm of Magic, MM)    Cast: Maeve Barrow, Daryn Alonzo, Charles, Aileen & Ian Barrow,    and the usual Realm of Magic suspects

* Rose to Fame (main characters are Alpha CC)    Cast: Comedy King Johnny, Global Superstar Rose, their children             Melody & Harry Zest, various guest appearances

”Check-In” Posts: (just little bits of life, not trying to document everything)

* Wells-Born, formerly my Ultimate Sim save    Cast: Ult Sim Ben Wells, Cam Wells, Peter Wells & others

* The Darwin Awards (mostly MM, but in the same save file as Rose)    Cast: the Kinsey Family: Darwin, Dayna, Alya, Vega, Rigel and Sirius

* Plants/Paint to Riches (mostly MM, but in the same save file as Rose)    Cast: Marc Boudreaux, Kikuko Yamada Boudreaux, Tori & Eric Boudreaux

So far CAS-and-backstory only, we have Those Darn D&D Elves... I might start playing them eventually, when some other storylines wrap up.

(Saves in bold font have links to chronological pages for that story.)

Had a rotten cold since Monday afternoon, yay. >,<

Today I finally felt better enough to play a little TS4, trying to catch up on the progress I lost on the LZC. Made it to about halfway on getting that save back to where it needs to be. 😁

The house will not look exactly like it did in my last few posts because HELLO moon wallpaper from Crystal Creations. 🥰

(Then we had thunderstorms and I stopped playing to be safe lol)

Colour palette generator based on your name… 🌈

Got tagged by @jonquilyst 💜

My username gave me nothing but error messages; RL name gave me... well. Pastel sunrise/sunset maybe? More my mom's preferred colors than mine. *side-eyes the generator*

I am horrid at keeping track of who's done these and not, but... @medleymisty, @mysimsloveaffair, @memoirsofasim, @seyvia do you want to try color palettes? (No worries if you don't have the bandwidth for it at the moment 💕)

Meren's riding skill and Mithril's endurance are now up to long canters around Chestnut Ridge. (Also, it's much safer to keep Mithril entertained - he's a downright nuisance when bored!)

Poor Meren - not even an elf can look dignified in the early stages of learning nectar-making!

Merennaur: "....Ow. Also, ew."

(Look on the bright side, your apple nectar will now be flavored with a hint of aged denim and notes of delectable elf derriere!)

Merennaur: "Somehow, that does not make me feel any better!"

I don't remember exactly why Meren was rocking such a pout (I think it was some failed interaction with his horse Mithril), but it didn't stop him from trying the new rock climbing machine at the gym.

He's long since maxed out Fitness, but this looked like an interesting way to maintain his physique.

(I did buy him one for home use, but there's no room for it inside the house, and Chestnut Ridge had a long streak of rainy weather, so I had to chuck it back in the household inventory for now.)

It's not morning, but have a Meren post anyway: he's learning Gemology quickly, and having a great time making jewelry. (It helps that he can buy 1/2 price gems in The Realm due to Spellcaster perks, and has a fully-upgraded rocket for trips to Sixam! 🤣)

And as you can see in the background, he has a crystal tree growing in the yard too. He'll be set for gems, but will probably have to Copypasto some of his metals.

Last night: me noodling around in CAS, makes a set of 3 siblings with a cutesy theme

This morning: brain spits out a semi-dramatic backstory for last night's trio, "Yeah, the theme's a disguise, they changed their names and appearances lol" and now I'm trying to figure out if they can fit into an existing save somewhere because I really don't have time and energy to start a new one for them...
