Sunday Post #464: When It's Not One Thing, It's Another

Welcome to The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I talk about what is going on in life and the blog, and show you all the bookish things I got that week!

What I've been doing:

I honestly don't know how much more my body can take. This whole year has been super stressful, I've been dealing with some medical things, but luckily I hadn't had any bout of anxiety in quite some time... until this week. It's always super fun when my anxiety shows up, telling me I'm going to die 🙃 I've felt awful all week, and work hasn't been helping. I need a break. I have a vacation coming up in like two weeks, and I literally cannot wait! Because what are the odds that I start feeling better the moment the weekend hits 👀😂

What I've been watching:

I finished watching Schitt's Creek and it was so good 😭 It was just so wholesome and funny and I already miss it 🥹

Right now, as I write this, I'm re-watching the new Final Destination movie because it just came out on streaming and omg it is just SO good! I love it! TV show-wise, I've really been wanting to rewatch The Middle. I just need humor in my life right now, and I remember really liking that one.

What I've been listening to:

"This song is about whether or not you actually mean something to someone you care about. Do they even care if you disappear? Or will they move on immediately. it's heartbreaking to think about these kinds of things happening, but... sadly they happen." -Unlike Pluto

What I've been playing:

The drama in the Very Veggie save is nonstop, I tell ya. Lol. But first, starting with something wholesome, the butler playing peek-a-boo with his daughter 😭 So, family reunion day was coming up, and I thought I would take my sims on vacation so that they could have it there.

 

It was gonna be at the beach and it was going to be fun! And then, I get the notificiation that my legacy founder DIED 😭

We just can't have nice things in this game. Anyway, Jade is the mother of Amethyst, who is my current heir on vacation with her family.

 

Here they are having breakfast, and then the family reunion started! Without Jade, of course 😭

 

It was funny because as soon as the family got there, the baby of the family, Amber, gravitated toward the werewolf, who is her older sister's dad 😂

 

She then went and met her cousin...

 

And they played together while the rest of the family celebrated and had dinner! It was a good time despite the death.

 

And then there was another death immediately the day after 😭 Sienna was the wife of Amethyst's brother, and now their family only consists of my heir's brother, his kid, and their dad. Plus some pets. Lol.

 

I was going to have them be on vacation for the weekend, but because of everything that happened, I had them go home early to have a funeral. And for some reason, the Grim Reaper showed up and started talking to my next heir 😭 Leave her alone, she's just a kid. We don't need anymore death 😭😂

 

In other better news, her horse aged up!

 

Which means she can now start to learn to ride! It was a little rough at first...

 

But she eventually got the hang of it. Even baby Amber went to say hi 😭

 

Carrotlina kept getting sad because people kept dying (can't blame her there lol), but one person who died I didn't recognize, but apparently it was her family, so I went to her family tree, and her dad's side of the family is quite extensive 😲 Lol. And then her grandpa on her mom's side died too 😭

 

Poor Amethyst lost both her parents in the span of days. But she's totally fine! She's still being devious, and things with the hot butler are going great.

 

And then Carrotlina aged up to a teen!

 

She's so cute! Also, I didn't mention it before, but she is a werewolf, just like her dad.

 

I also had Amethyst really start raking in that money because Carrotlina was going to need it soon when she moved out. Her eggplants made her really good money, but selling finely aged nectar (aka wine) was where it was at!

She literally sold ONE bottle for 16.5k simoleons 😭 Who buys wine that expensive?! 😭😂

 

Meanwhile, Carrotlina is doing the werewolf aspiration and reading a spicy book?? You go, girl. Lol.

 

And then she transformed for the first time... and was still using her phone 😂

This was so funny! Sending people weird memes while rampaging 😂 After her rampage on the full moon...

 

Well, first of all, she did not like it at all, so when she finished the aspiration and unlocked the other werewolf aspirations, she decided to go with Cure Seeker. (In reality I picked it because I don't want to deal with werewolves in the next gen 😂)

 

So she goes to the land of the werewolves to try and find everything she needs for the cure, and she runs into her dad and some of her half-siblings. She tells them how awful her transformation was and talks with her dad a bit.

 

Meanwhile, at home, baby Amber aged up into a kid!

 

And things with her parents are going SO well that the hot butler officially asked Amethyst to be partners...

And THEN he asked to move in together, officially. Now, my plan was to do exactly this, but until AFTER Carrotlina moved out. But I ended up saying yes to everything, because why not. Lol.

 

I've also been having Carrotlina work on her horse riding skill and training Buttermilk. I also gave the horse a little makeover and gave him a hat 😆 (Oh, and the horse's name is Buttermilk Ranch because it's the carrot gen and you can have carrots with ranch 😆)

 

And then one day after school, one of the kids invited this kid Orion over to hang out. It took me SO long to figure out that this kid was their cousin! 😂 And then the kid's dad, Amethyst's brother, also showed up.

 

And they had a little impromptu family get-together! It was nice. And Rusty, the surprise middle child, aged up into a teen! He ended up being super cute, but that's because he looks exactly like his dad, who was also cute (that dad is dead now lol).

 

Rusty is also an animal lover, and one of the first things he did when he aged up was interact with the horse. Aw. Lol. And then he went to visit his half-sibling, from his dad's side of the family. Everyone else was at school/work, so I had some extra time with Rusty one day.

 

Carrotlina is still training, she's mostly doing good, but she did get bucked off one day... directly into a pile of manure 😭😂 And I just wanted to share my start-up screen... the family looks so cute! 😭 I love them!

 

Look at them, eating together 😭

 

As for Carrotlina's werewolf issue, she spent a lot of time in Moonwood Mill scavenging for a book to tell her the recipe for the cure. People didn't like it, but she eventually found the recipe!

 

And when she gathered all the ingredients, she was finally able to make the cure...

 

And get rid of the lycanthropy! She is much happier now. Lol. (I love playing with occults, but with this generation, I just didn't want to deal with it. Lol.)

 

One thing I find hilarious is how Amethyst managed to land such a good guy. The hot butler is always interacting with the kids, looking after them, and he does this on his own! He has the romantic, family-oriented, and neat traits, so it makes sense. (I mean, it's not THAT strange because I literally made him and put him in the game specifically for Amethyst to romance him 😆 But the sims don't know that lol). Anyway, the youngest kid, Amber, aged up into a teen! (I think I aged all these kids up early. I was really wanting to get started on the next generation. Lol.)

 

And she is SO pretty! Of course, both of her parents are gorgeous lol (this is the one who is the daughter of the hot butler lol).

 

And then I also aged Carrotlina up into a young adult, finally, and her mom gave her some gifts before she left. Unfortunately for Carrotlina, the moment she moves out and into her new house, she pees herself... right in front of the toilet 😭 How did she not make it?! It was right there!! 😭😂

Anyway, hopefully I'll remember to share her house next time. And this ☝️ is what we have to look forward to with the next generation. She was tired of her mom's drama, so she decided that she likes horses better. I mean, it makes sense to me 😂
