Want to know some gossip? Of course you do. Well it seems that even though she turned over a new leaf and decided to be nice to people, it wasn’t enough to secure the work she wanted, so Judith Ward has had a nose job. In fact she has had a complete makeover and what a difference! 
There's more, she had been seeing Don Lothario in secret. Don had been looking after her publicity and was rumoured to be the influence behind the make-over. His own success has ensured they are both treated like superstars everywhere they go. They even jointly own a 5 star restaurant The Swan for future income security.
And then out of the blue they announced their engagement.
Within days they were married! The official pictures of the wedding showed two people who totally understood the power of exposure.
 
They are now so famous the paparazzi risked Dons anger by following them to the honeymoon villa and taking pictures that were posted all over the net.
  
Far from being a problem the pictures humanised a woman who was famous for her tantrums and seeing her so much in love won over a whole new fan base. 
And it didn’t stop there... Judith is not as young as she was (obviously) so when she found out she was pregnant she almost fainted. Don on the other hand was over the moon. He knew this was his only chance with Judith to be a dad.
The media nicknamed her pregnancy the Honeymoon Baby and the fans followed every link and sighed over every picture of Judith proudly showing her bump and Don bursting with pride.
 
By the time baby Rosie was born she was as famous as her parents, but much cuter.
From the first touching pictures of the new parents being in awe of their new daughter and the rare glimpses as she is growing up, little Rosie seems to be set for a future of fame and attention.

I have enjoyed the narration of the lives of your (well-known) sims.
So lovely to see that other creators also enjoy actually playing the game.
I do hope that there will be more to come, this is like reading a book and wishing the end never comes.

Thank you. I started this because I had a perfect game, then coolspear retired and I was worried that all the play would be lost to damaging updates. But I still have this game and still enjoy the challenge of playing with great grandchildren I've never had that before. A lot has changed in their lives and I have a ton of pictures to sort out, I will get on and do this because reading back its made me realise how much has changed and how enjoyable documenting these sims has been. |

So much has happened in my game since my last post that it was difficult to know where to begin. Whole new neighbourhoods have been added including a university a magic realm and a mountainous country with year round snow activities. The most recent is a small county that has a village at the heart of the hills. All have had a major effect on the inhabitants, especially the children of the above Sims. But below are the highlights of the parents, a catch up if you like.

Alex & Sydney
After Harry went off to university Sidney changed her career and decided that she could now be more committed to work rather than home. Alex had long since tired of his job in IT and he left and began writing, this proved to be a smart move as soon they had a passive income from the sale of his books. As the years passed they both found that there was more interesting things to do than go to work, so they took early retirement and began to explore the world. 
The first place they tried was a skiing lodge, they quickly learnt to ski and snowboard. They briefly found a new interest in hiking, although Alex wasn’t crazy about giant insects falling on him.😂
Sidney had developed a passion for photography and was soon snapping everything in sight.
They also found new places to explore that had no snow. They both learnt to prepare new healthy food and even did a bit of rock climbing.
But mostly they enjoyed their new found freedom by staying close to home and living island life to the full.
As age crept up on them they continued to have fun the way they always had, computer gaming (against each other), meeting friends and family for dinners or just hanging out and most of all the parties that celebrated the milestones of life.
 
As elders they still enjoyed being outside, Alex took to spending the afternoons reading science fiction followed by a swim then a long cold cocktail with his wife on the deck.
Sydney learnt to knit and donated packs of clothing and toys to to shelters. She also occasionally asked Harry if he was ever going to leave university and make her a grandmother, he was after all on his third degree.
Age didn’t diminish the love these two had for each and they still found time to show affection.
And to bicker while being comfortable in the knowledge that a difference of opinion wasn’t the end of the world.
Alex had been feeling out of sorts for a while and guessed that maybe he was coming to the end of his very long life. So that night he led Sydney back to the waterfall where he proposed, and for a couple hours they spent some time remembering their youth.
 
The following day Alex passed away. Harry came home within hours of the news to comfort his mother.
But Sydney lost interest in life after loosing Alex and it was only a few weeks after his death that she too passed away peacefully, leaving Harry heartbroken. 😔

Daisy & Steve
Daisy always said that watching Adorabelle grow was like watching a weed. It seemed to both parents that one minute she was a child and the next she was applying to university. 
For a while after Adorabelle had left Daisy and Steve roamed the island doing island things and enjoyed themselves. But soon a need for new places and new experiences called to both of them.
So they sold their island home and moved to a little place near the buffs. The house was designed to use green energy, it was also modern and smaller that the previous house which gave Daisy the opportunity to decorate with new colours and styles.
Like the others they also did all the things they didn’t get around to when Adorabelle was small. They learnt to bowl, Steve won and Daisy sulked for 2 hours. 
 
They attended the opening of Lily’s restaurant, Sands Of Gold, in the desert. Its bright colours, friendly informal staff and a menu that offered a large amount of ice cream dishes and exotic cocktails, soon made it a favourite haunt.
They learnt to ski and explored snow covered terrain, discovering caves and shrines. Steve developed a taste for sushi and would often surprise Daisy with a new sushi dish for lunch or dinner.
They were very happy with their new house, especially as they had neighbours they had been friends with most of their lives. As age caught up with them they counted themselves lucky to have had such a long and interesting lives.
After Adorabelle graduated university they often stopped by to see how she was doing or take a treat that one of them had baked for her. She taught them to knit on one visit, something she found had relieved her stress when she had exams coming up.
One sunny evening Steve settled for a nap on the deck and didn’t wake up. Daisy was alone and grieving so Adorabelle moved her into her spare room. While Daisy stared into the distance remembering her husband Adorabelle quietly sold her mother's house and was there whenever she was needed.
It took awhile but Daisy did recover to almost herself. Adorabelle would walk with her in the evenings or swim or make sand castles after work. Having her mother close helped Adorabelle heal too the bond that was forged was something she hoped she would have with her children one day. When Daisy died peacefully in her sleep a few months later Adorabelle was grateful that she had had the chance to get to know her mother again as an adult.❤
Daisys last night.

Don & Judith
Judith had Rosie just before it was too late to do so, she and Don were mature parents and for this reason (as well as just loving their daughter) they spent a great deal of time with her.
Rosie grew with the same speed as the other kids and soon became a part of everyone’s life.
Judith encouraged all types of creative activities, from painting and drawing to playing make believe with her dolls. Don read her to sleep every night, taught her to play, Catch The Lama, and helped with her homework and extra credit.
Don had been working non stop on Judith's videos and blogs. He managed and directed her short classes in fashion and makeup. He had become as well known as his famous wife, so when he was awarded a star on the Walk Of Fame the whole family was delighted. Despite the bad picture (trust me they were all bad for some reason) all their friends attended and they went on to dinner afterwards.
Don felt he could finally relax and enjoy life.
Rosie meanwhile had grown into a teen and while all the other kids were at university she was learning to roller skate at weekends and making small geeky videos about computer maintenance and IT in general.
 
Something that surprised everyone was the fact that Adorabelle and Rosie became best friends. There was a couple of times that Don had to pick her up from a party at University that she had sneaked off to with Adorabelle, but overall it was a good thing.
It was not long before both Judith and Don became elders so they decided t take a family holiday, one that would leave pictures and memories. First stop was to try the local food. It was an instant hit, never one to cook Rosie learnt to make sushi as soon as they got home.
They all had a lot of fun, skiing and snowboarding, snowman building and rock climbing. And the best of all Don tried knitting and promised all sorts of bad things if his wife and daughter leaked the pictures.
They did, however, post lots of other pictures of the holiday that went viral and pushed Rosie into the spotlight.
When they returned home they found mail not just for Don and Judith but for Rosie as well which was worrying as she was just a teenager. Both parents asked Rosie to stop the videos and step away from social media for a while, she agreed, and was secretly pleased she had an excuse to back away.
The last party Don and Judith held was for Judith on her birthday. Everyone turned up and it was a blast, Don had celebrated his birthday some months before and still looked good with a touch of frost and a few laugh lines. But Judith looked spectacular. After decades in the spotlight she could still astonish everyone. 
Don passed away first, Rosie stayed with her mother for a while as they both needed comfort and someone who understood how they were feeling. But the house was too big and too empty without Don. So they packed up and moved to the desert, a house that was in complete contrast to her mothers, Rosie covered the roof in solar tiles and installed every green option she could find. Her mother lived out her last days with Rosie. Friends dropped in to check on them both regularly. Judith was awesome to the last, always happy to talk to fans and do interviews.
This is how Rosie will always remember her parents, happy and full of life. ❤

Goldberry & Robert Remember these two? Roberts parents were famous movie stars and his sister is Daisy. Goldberry is the daughter of Summer and Steve, she has a twin sister Lily and an older sister Sydney.
OK. That's all sorted then. Here are their twin boys Tom and Pip. Who have grown into young adults and moved out.
Here is Goldberry finally having nothing to do after two hulking young men have moved out and her husband is at work. 
After Pip and Tom moved into their own places Goldberry and Robert decided that a complete change made sense. Both were fed up with their jobs and didn’t need to work anyway, so they cleared out their big house by the water and brought a cottage by sea.
 Lavender cottage was a precious little jewel set by the sea that reportedly has a monster wandering about in it. Maybe that’s why they can't swim there? It had everything they needed, two bedrooms, one used as a study. A real fire, cosy kitchen and a huge cellar that housed everything Goldberry had sneaked into boxes Robert didn’t see during the move. They put as many solar panels they could fit onto the roof, and on their kids advice (nagging) they installed all green appliances.
Goldberry couldn’t bring herself to leave her delphinium covered bedroom behind, so she redecorated it in the same paper and filled the tiny room with all her and Roberts mementoes.
Life was good, they finally truly relaxed, and even leant new things.
 They slept in the sun without anybody asking what was for breakfast/lunch/dinner. It was sometime in the third week they realised that being active people they needed a new challenge. So they took snowboarding lessons.
Both were quick studies, plus they were competing with each other to see who could master it first.
 
Goldberry learnt to gracefully surf the sky.
 
And Robert learnt to push himself to exhilaration. 
And of course danger and fun reignites a relationship in the best way.
  Oh yeah, sorry about that...
Daisy and Steve had moved in to a new house just a couple of minutes walk from them so they spent a lot of time with them. Going out to dinner, bowling, and beach picnics. And when they just wanted to do nothing there was always fishing. It was a great life.
Time waits for no man or Sim, they decided to throw one last big party for Goldsberry's' & Lily’s elder birthdays. All the family came, Tom brought his girlfriend much to Goldberrys' delight.
  The sisters were happy to celebrate together surrounded by all their family, it was an emotional time.
 T he boys were also happy to spend time with their parents and family, Although Tom had to show Pip some of the crazy messages he gets due to being famous.  Now life was slower, and they had time to reflect and recall happy memories and to muse on the fact that wisdom is only obtained by plenty of experience. And there was always time for a romantic gesture or two.
 Lily passed away a year after the party. Goldberry said she felt a part of her was lost. A few weeks after Lily’s death Goldberry died in her sleep. Robert believed that she didn’t know how to live in a world without her sister. Robert took one last trip to the mountains to remember his wife and her love of life. He built their habitual snowmen before returning home and following his wife. ❤

Deacon & Kayko
Where do I start? I thought I knew these two then they go and turn everything upside down. I did the only thing I could, go with the flow...
So, kids (Terry and Mirabelle) moved out, Kayko was climbing the walls with her job but unsure what effect leaving would have on her. Deacon was still painting but felt as if he had lost any true love for the process. They lived on a tropical island, the only way to change this up big was to find snow.
So they did, and they learnt to rock climb, which led to all sorts of malarkey. I have a rule I never deviate from, no whim no wedding. There they are on the top on a mountain and BOTH decide they want to get engaged.
Sounds like fun, quick dress change and as Kayko had the whim first she asked the big question. He said yes!
They are delighted and send pictures to family and friends to announce the engagement.
And now they both want to get married. So I thought about it, and decided why not? What could be more unusual and adventurous than a mountaintop ceremony? A few small changes and then they were ready.
A real cerebral white wedding.
She loved the ring (that he had been carrying since 2001 just in case).
And the rose, red on white always works.
No wedding cake? Arghhh!
Forget the cake...
Ok...
Well they are up there and its beautiful, may as well stay in the lodge and treat it as honeymoon time. This lodge has underground rooms including bedroom with luxury double bed, real fires, deep sofas, massage table, bar, stereo and a hot tub room full of tropical plants and a champagne bucket. And an above ground kitchen with a fridge full of hand cooked delicious meals, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. 
The following day they do the usual romantic 'build a snowman together'. Its all good I think. Then a snowball fight? hell yeah!
Got ya! uh uh uh ahh ah!
LOL! no its like this...”random Egyptian dance noises”
Oh! like this you mean? “random chicken noises!
LMAO! Yeah you nailed it! 😂
(Me...wtf? Taking pics anyway) 😂
After a truly fantastic day that was more fun to play that take pictures of, they finish their gourmet dinner and desert and retire to the hot tub. Perfect end to the day.
After returning home Kayko arranged the re-decoration of the lab, and extensive changes that converted everything that could be upgraded to green status. Now if only the rocket was playable? She left after the upgrades were complete.
These two have always been water lovers, oceans, rivers, snow its all water. They used their hot tub to unwind, to argue, to catch up and for romance.
But their favourite past time seemed to be night fishing. The whims always wanted to fish at night so they would take their water craft out in the late afternoon find a couple of perfect spots and just fish. They always had food in case they got hungry. Very relaxing for me too.
They too aged and spent time reflecting on their lives.
Their last day together included the usual sail and fish. As the sun set I brought them back to the shore where Kayko passed gracefully away. Hours later in the company of his son Terry, Deacon also died peacefully out in the open as he wanted. ❤

LilyLily (Goldsberry's twin and Sydney's younger sister) faced every day with enthusiasm, she was never bored. But it seemed sometimes she appeared to be a little lonely. She sought out her family, her bond with he sisters was legendary. Whenever she was about fun was to be had.  She feared nothing and would try anything. She was one of the most adventurous sims I have ever played, and the most positive. Maybe it goes hand in hand, if you love life what would you have to complain about? 😁 You know I said that she often went where she wasn’t supposed to go? Well she saw someone move faster than she thought possible and found out that the secret was in the magic realm. So she went looking. She found Ash.  She studied and flirted and invited Ash on a date, he said yes. And it was a great date. They would definitely do this again.  They had lots of dates, and one night the house seemed too far away and the van was more convenient. This was a date that changed everything. ❤ Luna was born soon after, and Lily was enthralled with her daughter.  She asked Ash to move in and together they watched as their miracle daughter grew up.   Lily was shocked to find she was pregnant, she though she had past the point when pregnancy was an option, but like many surprise babies Luna was cherished by both her parents. Ash is a lot younger than Lily. It didn’t matter to him or her but it meant that her time with her daughter and Ash was limited. Ash was welcomed by her family and friends, it was acknowledged by all that Lily didn’t suffer fools. When she had Luna, all her family came to visit to hug her and hold the baby. Luna was a miracle, especially to her twin Goldberry who left Luna all her pictures of Lily in her will.Luna eventually grew into a young adult. With the DNA she has I have no idea why I sat opened mouth after her last birthday. She is stunning.  Lily aged and remained as full of life as ever. She formed a bond with Luna that was the equal to her twin sister. She made Ash promise that after she was gone he would look after her no matter what. The thing is, Luna has so much ability she doesn’t need her dad to look out for her. But knowing that he does is comforting. 😘 Age didn’t effect Lily or Ashes ability to do mad things. This is the result of turning off total control at a recycling centre. 😂😂 No matter what her age Lily danced and twirled through life, never thinking about any negative reactions or actions. She was a little light in a world designed to favour the dark.  Her death had a devastating effect on the world of her family and friends. Ash was bereft and moved out of her house to a house in GlimmerBrook, leaving the house, money and the restaurant to his daughter.😔❤

The sims I have documented here led fantastic lives, if only I could do the same. And their kids will lead even better lives because that's how humans are programmed. There are a lot of kids to make stories with, but so far they have just started to live and have limited photo stories. But I enjoy doing this and there is still stories to be told that I haven't put into play yet. It will not take me so long to document the new stories. I hope the update made you smile Thanks to Coolspear whos mods made these Sims possible and my game awesome to play

The van is a tent really made by Coffinfit (CF - Live In Van). She was here for a while I think she has her own site now. I recoloured it with the flowers for Lily to use when she went Jungle exploring. Glad you liked the story, I'm correcting spelling and grammer, no more posting through the night |
