the genes are set when they are first generated no matter how many times they dye their hair, which is kind of cool actually. And lol I love the pictures they're great. You never know what is going to happen in this game haha! I need to take some good pics of my remodled house and garden. Oh and I bought the strategy guide on the way home from work tonight. The actual hardcopy one. I'll let you know how it is. As for Chris, virtual or not old men just seem to have a thing for him. In my game he tried to schmooze the headmaster into letting the Kay into private school, well he didn't let her in but he did seem to take a liking to Chris and calls the house now and asks for him all the time, so much so that it's become annoying. IRL this professor friend of mine who's much older than both of us tried to hit on Chris while I was out of town knowing the we were going out. I guess art imitates life.

Well sim Cali met sim Chris today, at first they seemed to be getting along until she decided to tease him, and keep on teasing him. So much so i had to make her go in the house in the end to leave the poor guy alone ;D Didn't stop him form getting in my hot tub though She missed sim Mike as she was asleep when he walked past

haha lol! In my game I played the house where Kay's teenage boyfriend lives to try to age him to adult in prepartion for her becoming an adult. I got him into red on the aspiration meter and used the elixir. That way it backfired and made him 3 days older, until he became an adult. Well he was a cute kid and an attractive teen but my goodness what an ugly adult he made! I wonder if it was because he was in a bad mood when he grew up. So I made a new family of 'breeding stock' potential mates and tried to use different attractive faces and see how they would interact together to make a child. In the create-a-sim menu in the game once you have at least one male and female you can then try and make a child and sample what a child between the two might look like. If you don't like what you get the first time you can keep reloading, but some combinations of faces I have discovered at not such a good match for breeding even if by themselves they are attractive. Also the child you make will carry both parents genes, so a child from someone with one parent with brown hair and one with blond will always have brown hair but will carry the recessive blond gene so that if they breed with someone with blond hair it's likely they may have a blond child. And once you make a child between the two sims you can change it to any stage of life or gender so you can get a good idea what the child will look like as an adult. The child carrying both genes can be bred again with another sim and that one with another and so forth. You can only have 8 people in a family, but you can keep deleting the older generation and making newer ones. Chris accused me of being a Sims Nazi and engaging in eugenics with my sims. I suppose I do heh. I did make a child between your sim and mine and though her came out rather nicely with your arched and sculpted eyebrows and brown hair haha. Oh and I saw this that someone put up for download at the official site: thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sim_detail.php?asset_id=66749&search=1&asset_type=sim&key=&order=RATING+desc&nrows=50&age=&gender=male&custom=&locality=&country=&view=I certainly don't want my Sims breeding with him that's for sure! There are some other celebrity ones there though that look quite like the person.

oh god that is scary Well Cali's had another little girl, this one's called louise, i shall just have to see if she takes after her dad as well I can see i'm going to have generations of gingers ;D I just stuck your sims in a house and left them ;D i will go back and furnish it though because i tried to phone Chris and of course you have no phone I also stuck Mebyon in a house as well i'm going to see if i can get him to lure Patrizio's wife away just for the fun of it, so far i've played nice but it gets dull after a while so i want to have some fun with them now ;D And that old guy came round again because Cali was spying on him but instead of him having a go she started poking him instead, never have a go at a pregnant woman as they turn nasty ;D

lol none of my characters ever poked him back, they were all intimidated by him. Patrizio's wife Isabella went completely nuts and had a breakdown, therapist came and all. But Armando the former mailman turned con artist (he's on the criminal track and his current job title is con artist ) has his sites on her. The ironic thing is, when she came over to our house, she apparently has a higher creativity than Armando and taught him how to lie better on the lie detector machine, little does she know he will be using those skills on her. Oh and yes most definitely put a phone in the house of any sims you move in even if you don't intend to play them. They wont' starve or anything like that without other furniture and appliances if you never play the house, but your sim will need them to have a phone to call them and for them to call you.

If you guys want me in your games, you'll have to do it yourselves because I have no idea WHEN I will scrounge the time. My computer is giving me issues, the damn physics is getting on my nerves and time seems to fly right by... ...so no clue when I'll get around to doing my face...

I might wait till Emma becomes a teeenager then i can marry you off to her I have come to the conclusion that Cali's husband Victor is a dead loss,he is obsessed with holding the baby's, no matter what else he needs or i tell him to do he keeps holding them for ages and his first thought when waking or coming home from work is hold youngster. Trouble is he just stands there holding them while they scream because they need changing or feeding and he doesn't seem to notice while Cali screws her face up at him because it smells bad He did get a promotion at work though, and i finally managed to get rid of his gut again, everytime she gets pregnant he gets fat ;D And i wish you had some control over the Nanny, i think she's a bit daft, poor Emma was exhausted and i finally managed to get Victor to put her in the crib when the nanny goes and gets her out to feed her, she wasn't even hungry, she then put her down and she passed out on the kitchen floor I had half a mind to try again for a boy but i think it would end in divorce if Victor didn't buck his ideas up, It's funny because i think he's gormless but most of Cali's aspirations lately have been to do with kissing or flirting with him so she still likes him anyway ;D And they met Mike at last, everyone seemed to get on well he came in and sat watching the new flatscreen telly i bought with Victor's promotion bonus, and Cali won on a lottery scratchcard , so the home has had a makeover.

Ah cool. I was thinking instead of posting pictures maybe I'll just pack up my house and move everyone out, or have just Blanche in it lol. Better lock your husband away though Remodeling is fun I think. At first I planned to move when I got more money, but then I remodeled the house and I quite like it now. Don't forget to check the career rewards. It's on the same panel as the aspiration reward but there's an icon below that one you click on. Each job track has a career reward and once you get promoted to a certain level it opens up that reward and you can place it. The reward for the culinary track is a chocolate factory machine. They can make money making chocolates and learn the cooking skill at the same time. I believe it gives them some fun too. It's funny because as they are making them, they start turning the machine faster and eventually can't keep up and start eating some off the line like Lucy. Well now in my game Armando the former mailman and his daughter with Blanche, Bianca, are living with old lady Monty (who is now old lady Turner ) until she kicks the bucket. Bianca is about to grow into a teenager. Kay just became an adult and is a policewoman now as she started that track as a teen. I did some weird finageling to get some kids that had the genetics of Chris and my sim mixed together and have now adopted one of them, a little boy named Ricky. There's also Joey, Ben and a little toddler girl (I forget her name but Chris says she looks like the looka-lika-man lady from Mad TV :laugh4: ). My Mike sim's current aspiration is to have 10 kids! *faints* He lost his culinary job some time ago from a bad outcome of a chance card and is a stay at home dad now. I finally got him back in shape, he's a pain because he's resistant to getting in shape (which is a little too realistic, but I'm also trying to get in shape irl and lost 20 pounds in the past couple of months. Not that I was terribly fat or anything, but I had a bit of a gut, though I hid it well in clothing heh) Blanche married old Consort Cap but his grandkids absolutely loathe her. She's going to have a wedding party soon and they hopefully that grumpy old fart will kick the bucket, but not before she can pop out a kid with him if I can help it. I hope those grandkid teens become adults soon because I want them to move out and if Blanche moves out alone and leaves them there after the old man dies they keep all the money which isn't happening. But if they hate her enough they may run away haha. As the families are multiplying and branching off I'm having more of them to control and it's getting to be time consuming and like a big soap opera since I have divide my time between houses. I noticed some larger lots actually have two homes together on the same lot and I may try to move Kay and a friend into one of these and play two families at the same time. The nannies are strange that's for sure. They all have different personalities though. You can fire one and call up and you'll get a different one. It's kind of a toss up. I've read where some people say they make layer cakes and are great with the kids while others watch tv, piss on their floor and swim in the pool. Besides trying out different nannies you could also try tipping them and/or chatting with them/befriending them.

Hmmm my nanny has been swimming, don't tell me she'll become incontinent next Well i put mebyon in a very nice house just opposite Cali's and they finally met up, it didn't go to well Mebyon welcoming Cali The conversation turns to marriage Which for some reason he found very funny but Cali was not amused. Looks like he thinks Victor's gormless as well ;D One if his aspirations now though is to be her friend, and one of his others is woo hoo
