  • This episode brings us to the Stratton family, and a nice and calm family day. Remington and Christy have their hands full with their four children, and yet they want more. An empty fridge and several age-ups eats away at their funds, but these doting parents couldn't care less.

    I love the family home, modern, but with heart. The back porch is wonderful! Christy is not all that attractive to me in the base game, but I find her so pleasing in your game.

    Haha, those secret blonde men!! That’s like when I had Gilbert Jacquet and Bella Goth have babies and they came out blonde and I went… “uhhmmm, what??”
    I’m sorry that the menu board didn’t work properly! I think it needs to be behind just a plain counter rather than one with a coffee machine on it. So maybe moving over the coffee machine and making sure it’s a plain counter in front of the menu boards will work!!
    This family is so beautiful and sweet. I also thought it was very funny and realistic how Christy wasn’t able to get away from the kids at all during the day to go clothes shopping… #mumLife, hey. Also, gee I would love a mod that made clothes shopping cheaper, it’s proper highway robbery isn’t it lol.
    Wonderful episode as always! I usually play Remington as gay so it’s fun seeing his biological babies. Very cute!!

      Haha I know right? I haven't played a lot with the PV townies before, so some things like that came as total surprises. Andrea Hogan is another natural blonde, apparently, and Jason Menon's a redhead. Total chaos, haha! And yeah, Gilbert Jacquet is definitely on a different level.
      Oh that was totally my bad! But that's how it usually goes for me: trial and error. That's part of the fun too :) I think you're right. I figured that since the coffee maker wasn't technically ON the counter, but inside of it (sort of), I'd be fine. Of course I wasn't haha! I'll work it out eventually. Thank you again for the recommendation

    I'm really glad you went back to that lot you built and provided a tour for us. It's beautiful! The room with the wedding clothes is so lovely and providing mirrors absolutely essential of course. I read below that the menu on the wall may be the problem with the missing barista. That's something I'd probably do as well. Every room looks professional and polished. Thank you for showing off that center staircase! It works perfectly and looks fantastic.
    When you begin with the house tour, I thought, ok this is going to be good. I've seen that old lot and it needs work. I love the way you changed it to a contemporary home - it looks so much better in that neighborhood and the home itself is much improved. There's space for more children since Christy wants more although I don't know how she would manage them. Poor thing, she could hardly draw a breath in the morning, running from one child to another LOL! The master bedroom is so cool and different, and that neon flamingo, wow! How did you ever think to use that in a bedroom? It fits them perfectly too particularly since Christy is romantic.
    Remington with that open shirt: starting his character presentation wearing that shirt was laugh out loud perfect! Since I've rarely played in many years, I didn't recognize him as one of the maids and had no opinion about his orientation so seeing him as Christy's husband didn't surprise me at all. He's certainly handsome. She's lovely and they seem to work together as a couple very smoothly. Let's see if they can manage all those children!
    I particularly love the wallpaper in one of the rooms, I believe it's the twins' room - the sea creatures wallpaper. It seems to suit them, not sure exactly why. The rest of the house is quietly almost traditionally decorated which seems appropriate for a couple who want a lot of children and presumably a lot of their friends and perhaps the friends' family members. They'll need that long table! That table is a favorite of mine, it's a beautiful piece of furniture and that color works well in the room.
    I'm aware of a mod that makes sims use the front door instead of the garage door to enter a house but not one to use an interior door. You're much more experienced with that kind of thing though than I am. I was also fascinated with the way you used what must be a hacked computer to borrow money. That's the kind of specific and clearly defined process you undertake as you show in the spreadsheet you keep. Startlingly and imaginatively detailed.
    You have provided us with another beautifully designed and written episode using a cast of characters probably nobody else would put together (Meadow and Christy) and Remington, moving on to fill a fascinating neighborhood. Thank you. (And I have to admit I didn't notice what you were wearing and still see nothing wrong with it.)

    I'm criminally long overdue for leaving you a comment. Firstly, thank you so much for being so passionate about the sims and the neighborhood - it translates to the way you present your videos and for me as a viewer it's so much more fun to see such pure joy! Secondly, wow, your storytelling abilities are next level! It never occurred to me to make the townies related to one another, but man, what a great idea! It's so much better than making them all just orphans in the case of the kids, and single sims searching for new life in the case of adults. And i mean, that's what i used to do in my neighborhoods, but no more. In my custom neighborhood I'm trying out your method and so far loving it! The dynamics are so interesting to watch now.
    You also opened my eyes to the possibility of playing with schools. It was a bit hard for me to set up and decorate, since I'm not a builder, but the end result was great. And most importantly it's such a thrill to watch your sims communicate with each other, have fights, become friends or enemies all while running from one classroom to the other. Today was my first day playing the highschool and I've already had two sims having their first kiss in front of the bathrooms 😂 you can't get more highschool than that in a sims game!
    I will be forever grateful to you for expanding my perspective on the game and how it can be played. Your every masterpiece of a building inspires me to try and give my builds at least a fraction of the creativity and talent that you showcase in your videos.
    Sorry for the long cheesy comment 😂 anyway, lots of inspiration for your upcoming episodes!

    I love Christy! I have Arcadia Bradshaw (Pleasantview repair women) as her mother and Marsha Schehl (blonde romance sim from Bluewater Village) as her sister as they have the same face templates. I also have her as Brittany Parker's mother with Koemi Tellerman (before cheats and marries Jan haha). They make a very interesting family. I'm considering marrying Marsha to Malcolm Landgraab as she has a gold sales badge so he would find her as a good partner, but she is also a free agent like her mother and is a romance/knowledge so I don't think she'd be interested in settling down for money. I think she'll become a witch and resurrect Don once Cass finds him cheating and wants to send him home to dads cowplant lol.

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love her too, she's lovely! Much like Tosha (I think you told me she's a favorite of yours?), she's a sweet family sim I feel protective of. I love the family constellation you have created for her; that's such a nice idea to put sims together into families based on their face templates. I can totally see Christy and Komei being the parents of Brittany - that fits perfectly! Haha, I see so that's how Komei and Jan got together for you, that's interesting. Love it! Oh wow Marsha and Malcolm - what an interesting pairing! For me, Marsha is a knowledge/family so for me I don't think it'd work, but if she's romance/knowledge with a gold sales badge (oh la la!) I can totally see it happening :D Hahahaha poor Don! Wow, that's cruel Cass, haha! Thank you for telling me of your story

    You mentioned here having too many kids in te soccer club. Have you ever thought of doing scouts? It could be a nature oriented club where sims hunt bugs and catch butterflies at the park.

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have, actually, but I had just considered adding a scouts club into the weekends rather than the week days, so I hadn't quite figured it out. But you've got me thinking from another angle now, so thank you so much for that! I even have the leader picked out and everything (Benjamin Day (Long)) - just need to build a community lot for it 😊

Haha oh well, I haven't counted the number of families, but there's a lot! Checking my spreadsheet, I currently have 117 playable sims. I plan on making a sort of wrap up episode as the final episode to this first let's play part, including a hood tour. After that, as we move on to Tuesday, the series will change shape a bit, but I'll explain more of that when it's time :)

    Just so you know, that shirt you are wearing is skin color, so it almost appears as if you are, well, naked. I would suggest changing the color or maybe the lighting of the room.
    As for your neighborhood, your neighborhood seems to be pretty old. The children are now adults, and the adults are now elders, and the elders are now dead. So, you must have played Pleasantview for quite some time. In my own Pleasantview, every household has been played for 1 season, and that's it. Well, everyone except the Goth family and the Caliente family. I am hoping that Mortimer Goth would marry Dina Caliente, but as of now, he just wants to skill, skill, skill. His LTW is Maximize All Skills in my game. If he doesn't get married to Dina, then that means he is just going to die, leaving his fiancée (Dina) single again. Then, Dina has to find a new rich guy to be with. She could be a doctor's wife (ahem... Don Lothario's wife), but Don is a Romance Sim so he may be too afraid of commitment to marry her.

      Haha, that's funny :P Nah, I think it's fine.
      It's currently Monday Week 4, so yeah, it's been a while since I began. This isn't my first rodeo though; I couldn't tell you which number of PV this is for me, haha. There's just something about this hood that makes me (and many others) keep replaying it over and over again. Love it.
      I see, you have a lot of fun stuff about to happen then :) Haha yeah, Mortimer is all about he skilling usually, and about family I find. I think of him as a family man. The LTW you have for him suits perfectly, nice. Haha yeah, Don would be a difficult catch - but not impossible! I've played many times with him marrying Cassandra, so he could get married if the stars align :D I have a soft spot for Dina and Don after watching Bigmouth's amazing machinima of Pleasantview (dreamy eyes). I'd be rooting for them if you ended up going for that :)
