— Account Update —

It’s already been half a year since I’ve been posting on here, wow! Seeing everyone’s posts and updates on their sims and families brings so much nostalgia... You guys make it so hard for a girl to just quit! 😭

As much as I want to come back and post again, the reason I disappeared for so long is that I lost everything on my laptop. I was devastated, and as much as it’s just a game, I was so attached! I had so many plans for the next generation! I even searched my emails for older versions of my sims that I sent to myself to save! However, after some thought, I realized I’ve been at it since 2015 with different branches of this family... And I’ve decided to just let them have their happy ending and let them go.

For those that have any of my sims’ files, feel free to keep collabing with them! For those close friends that have Lohi, feel free to use him for an AU or combined legacy! Go at any pace you want! Just have fun with your games, that’s what it was always about anyway!

When I left, I had three more posts left in my queue that I never shared... The last one being family photos, which I find very fitting as a last goodbye to the Lancasters. I wanted to share these with you before I officially end their story. I’ll keep my account up though! I want to be able to keep up with your families once in a while. 😉 Feel free to tag me in your sims stories to read!

I love you all! Thank you for including me and making me feel a part of something. — Philippians 1:3 ❤️

“Time to reset and regroup! Sometimes it’s good to step back from everything and spend time together as a family away from all the noises of life… With my kids getting older, I want to make sure they stay as close as they were when they were little… To always have each other’s backs...” ❤️ -Lea ‬

“I can’t believe it’s prom already… You already know this mama bawled her eyes out the moment they walked out all dressed up! I remember the daycare days, just three years old, when they became best friends… These two have grown up into the most incredible people… But man, they grew faster than weeds!” 😭 -Lea ‬

David lunged forward to grab her hand. This can’t be goodbye!David: What if I don’t want to move on and heal? Clementine: Excuse me? David: Your heart is too big, Clem. Don’t excuse my own actions and mistakes just because you felt you messed up too. There’s no words to fix this, but I’m so sorry for how I treated you. You didn’t deserve that. Lara was jealous of our friendship, yes… But I chose to cut you out. I chose to be blinded. I chose to be selfish. And I was so wrong… I deserved the consequences I got. After cutting everyone out, even my own family, she dumped me… That’s when I got my own wake up call. You kept saying that you understand if I never want to talk to you again, but that’s all I ever wanted to do! I just didn’t know how to even begin… I just want our friendship back, but if it hurts too much, I understand. But please don’t blame yourself… It was never you, it was me. Clementine: So… You don’t hate me? David: I could never… If anything, I thought you hated me! Clementine: Absolutely not! I just want my best friend back… David cupped her face, tears brimming, then pulled her into the biggest hug he could give her. He didn’t deserve a girl like her… Clementine: I love you, David. David: I love you too, Clem.

Did he want their friendship back? Yes. Would it ever be the same again? Probably not. He didn’t even know how to begin saying sorry… The moment he got into a relationship, he ghosted her to make Lara happy. Now, he lost them both. David: Clem, I— Clementine: Please… Hear me out, I just want to get this off my chest, then you can leave and never talk to me again if that’s what you want. Wait what? Clementine: It really hurt me when you completely disappeared. I lost my best friend of 14 years… And as much as I tried to convince myself, I couldn’t get over it because I was in love with you. I even started learning sign language because of you and I almost quit learning completely out of bitterness… But after talking with your sisters, I realized I was being selfish. While I was learning sign language for you at first, growing up with your family helped me realize how much more important this language was. You all helped me find my purpose, my “why.” I want to be an interpreter one day, and maybe even a teacher like your mom… To spread awareness and teach future generations to be more accessible. It’s not just some tool, it’s a culture and way of communication that everyone should know and normalize everywhere. While our loss of friendship hurt at the time, it was what I needed to wake up. I wanted to apologize to you personally for being selfish… Don’t feel obligated to forgive me either. It’s okay if you never do. I just wanted to tell you all this so we could both move on and heal… Just know that I’ll always care for you and cheer you on from afar. Goodbye, David.

It was too late... His gigantic 10 page research paper was gone. Blipped out of existence. Everything was going wrong today, it seemed… His laptop kept disconnecting from the wifi, all the books he needed were checked out except for one (and he needed five resources, only one online was allowed…), and now his laptop shut off… Taking all his unsaved hard work with it. What next, universe? ???: David? David’s heart lurched into his throat as he caught the eye of his former best friend standing before him. What on earth was she doing here on a Saturday? Then it dawned on him… She used to come here every Saturday… Well… Apparently she still did, and he was even sitting in her spot. All the guilt of how he treated her now flooded into the forefront of his mind, forcing him to avert his gaze in shame. David: Hey, uh... Sorry— He quickly began gathering up his stuff but before he could shove it all in his backpack, she intervened. Clementine: Is it possible that we could talk? David froze. The warm, welcoming smile on her face that made him sick with guilt now melted away into hurt. David hesitated, glancing back down at his things before nodding in defeat. He needed to apologize and make things right…

David’s been spending a lot of time in his room ever since the breakup… It worried his parents to no end, but before they could intervene, he finally invited them in to see the big surprise! Say hello to David’s comfort hobby, Rick, as in Rick Rolled. 😂 #sosorry #ricktherobot #rickrolled #nevergonnagiveyouup #nevergonnaletyoudown  #nevergonnarunaroundanddesertyou 😘

Trigger Warning, just in case! This is a story part which includes sensitive topics. I understand if you rather not read this, remember that you’re never obligated to! Thank you for your time. ❤️ -Brittany ‪”Where did we last leave off? Oh, right… I got dumped. But don’t worry, I’m doing much better.

‪At the time, it stung really bad because it felt like it took a lot to open up about me and my family. But that was the whole reason why she dumped me… I wasn’t open ‘enough.’

I got defensive at first… But maybe she was right about one thing…

I shouldn’t have hid a part of my life away. More importantly, I shouldn’t have been ashamed.

While it hurt so bad, it forced me to face the reality that I was insecure about my family and what people thought of us. I’ve seen how people treated my fully deaf siblings… I didn’t want to be treated that way… I wanted to be treated like a normal ‘hearing’ kid.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be treated like any other person, but I took it too far by shoving away anyone that would associate me to the deaf world. That was wrong.

Being deaf isn’t a burden, the people that think it is — are the burden.

If people can’t accept me and my family as we are, I don’t want it.

‪I’m deaf, I’m proud, and I’m not a burden.” - David

Hello! The first two couple poses are from @eunsims specifically from this pose pack!

(The bottom pose where Anthony is flexing is from @pixeljackpot from this posepack. Lea isn't posed in the bottom one though, she just started laughing and I paused at the perfect time! Wanted to share that as a bonus. 😂)

Hope this helps! Thank you for your patience! ❤️ (if you want a preview of how I used these poses, here’s my post! I’m aware it was linked in the ask, but might as well permalink it so it’s only a click away, lol.)
