"Don't you want to change into your pajamas? It's 10pm!

"Uh, I'm meeting some work friends for a birthday meal. They'll be here soon, so we can go to the restaurant, since a couple of them drink."

Phone buzz

"Oh, I think that's them! I'll be back soon, Jo, but don't feel like you have to wait up."

"Alright, you guys have fun. But make sure you're, uhm, honoring Christ with your actions, you know?"

"Of course I will, don't act like I wouldn't. Anyways, see you later!"

"Hey, are you Don? I'm Tony, from, you know..."

"WookUp? Yeah, that's me, I don't just hang around outside houses for no reason. And do I know you from somewhere? I swear you look familiar?"

"What? No, I don't think so, I don't really get out much. I think I'd remember too, I've got a pretty decent memory. Where do you think you know me from?"

"Look, you can chill, it's not like I'm going to tell anybody. I probably just saw you in a store one time. Now, if you're not going to have a panic attack or something, we can get in my car and go to my house."

From Amos Abram's Diary

So I sinned after church. I haven't wrote anything since then because of the guilt. I was out campaigning for Sons for Liberty and this really pretty girl came to chat to me. Properly pretty girl. I like short hair on girls. Immodest clothing, but they fit her, mom puts Libby, the twins even Cheer in potato sacks. I expected her to yell at me. People like that yell. Harder than even the most watcherly pastor. Telling us we're evil, and that a baby is just some chunk of tissue. But she was really sweet to me. Got me chatting. I don't remember what about. She was chatting to me about music. She told me she was a pianist like my old man, she sang too, her name was Elsie or was it Elise. My buddy, some not-so-watcherly guy won't say anything, I know. He's not really from around here, so he ain't used to standing out in the sun on a spring afternoon, he also probably doesn't give a shit if I did anything. He kept staring at Elsbeth's rack. He also tries to flirt with the girls who sometimes hand out flyers with us.

But if he did. At least church would be easier. And at least it shows I'm not like stupid, vapid Asher. He'd probably become a monk if we were like those Catholics. He probably will end up one anyways, I doubt any watcherly woman would demean herself, at least if she isn't a Jezebel.

Scrawled underneath in blotchy, barely legible writing

Watcher, why did you make sin so good? I cannot stop thinking about her. Thinking about seeing her again. I feel good. I feel strange. Maybe I should follow Christ's example and cast my own eyes out.

Here’s the video for the gender reveal, the sun had set but there was no way I was going back and changing the time so I’ve edited the brightness. @pandasamacc did such an amazing job with the animations that I felt they needed to be seen. The guy at the back randomly running to join in also made me giggle, I'll have to do this again for one more pregnancy but with the weather it'll have to be inside. You guys also get to see how the labour & delivery mod works when this new batch of babies are being born!

From Lydia Pearson's Simstagram

We've gotten a handful of asks of what we do in a school day now that Abigail is a child! Well we're happy to answer that question. We usually start out the day cooking breakfast! I wake Abigail up at around 5:00 Am to start cooking breakfast. It's good to start teaching her how to cook now so her husband doesn't starve when they get married! Plus it's a great bonding experience and we make fond memories every morning while cooking!

After breakfast we start on the workbooks we bought from the Institute of Joyous Life Principles (IJLP). It gives children a quality watcherly education that makes them prepared for the skills they'll need as adults! This lesson was a biology lesson where we learned all about Carpenter Ants! The little kids are usually off in the other room playing while I instruct Abby.

After workbooks are done for the day we start music lessons! Abby has such a heart for music and has picked up the violin very quickly. She says she wants to use her music to spread the word of the watcher! That's so cute! I told her she should pray for a husband that also has a heart for music so that they can spread the good word together!

After music lessons it's chores time for Abigail she usually washes the clothes and I dry them as she can't reach the dryer yet. She also uses this time to do the dishes. While she does that I start work with the littles. We usually go through flash cards like number flash cards or some nice animal flashcards that were donated to us after Abby was born! The kids really like this learning time with mama and it's a great way to bond 1 on 1 with the kids.

Usually after this point they're done learning for the day and they go play while mama naps!

Ok. Deep breath. I finished it! I managed to (after a ton of research and note-taking) set up 10 full generational challenges since my Mini 5 Gen version went over so well with everyone. Please use #VaultTecChallenge if you take it on! 👽 Once again... just to be thorough... Mods, Downloads and relevant cc below the cut.

-MODS- You need some kind of homeschool mod. The one I found was: Better Schools: Online Schooling by KawaiiStacie A mod that allows your children to attend school via computer. -BUILDS- If you don’t want to build your own vault, there are some vaults on the gallery that could easily be gently modified for this challenge. I looked up some builds, but I’m sure there are many more out there. If you build a vault and upload it to the gallery, tag it with#VaultTecChallengeso others doing the challenge can find it! >>Vault 148 by ChillyAcademic- This is by far the most detailed and realistic vault I have found on the gallery thus far. >>Fallout Shelter 14A by Hero_E92- A really good-sized vault that probably doesn’t need a ton of adjustment. >>Bunker by Mariedcause- A really great build that could work for this challenge very quickly. >>User RistoTCThas a set of modular vault rooms built along with a base lot to attach them to. Check their gallery to see them all. >> Fallout Bunker by erinmeakin- This is a large vault that would likely need some adjustment, but many facilities are already done for you.

-CC- There is a TON of Fallout cc out there to make your gameplay more true to the source material. I will try to list a lot here just to get you started. 👽

"Hey beautiful, enjoying the wedding?"

"Yeah, it's fun. This is such a pretty venue."

"I guess it's pretty nice. You're all on your own though, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just pretty loud inside, and this dumbass bartender won't even serve me. My dad must have told them I'm 18."

"Tell me about it. If I even tried that, my parents would kill me. But you're too pretty to be sat by yourself, not getting served. I'm Natan, by the way."

"Thanks, that's really sweet of you to say. My name's Vivian."

"Tell you what Vivian, instead of sitting out here, all sad, why don't we go and have a look around the building? Everyone's just in the main hall, I bet the rest will be quiet."

"Sure, that sounds fun."

Author's Note and Transcript Under the Cut

(AN: Hello! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my fledgling fundie simblr. I’m by no means new to simblr, but because this blog and story is new, I figure an introduction is due.

So: hey, I’m Talia! I had another fundie simblr a few years back (it’s now inactive for a multitude of reasons), but like a certain someone, I have risen again! My fundie sims obsession was reignited over the summer after I joined a wonderful fundie sims-themed Discord server. Somehow they convinced me to make a new blog, and a few months later, here we are! In the intervening years I continued to lurk, so if you’re an active fundie simblr, I’m probably a fan of your story.

I’ve been playing the de la Cruz family for a while now and they have a special place in my heart- I can’t wait to share them with everyone else! Get ready for lots of God-honoring drama, mildly dubious baby names, and leopard-print modesty undershirts. Note that as the de la Cruzes are fundamentalists and this story is satire-heavy, there will be some viewpoints expressed that I very much disagree with. I’ll trigger tag certain sensitive subjects (e.g. physical violence, miscarriages) as ‘tw [thing]’ but fundie-typical bullshit will go untagged for the sake of my sanity.

Some basic housekeeping stuff to wrap up this far-too-long intro note: I have a queue full of posts ready to go, but I’m a busy student with unpleasant things like homework and AP classes, so I’m still not sure how frequently I’ll post. I’ll do my best to ensure that stays consistent, though, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out via my askbox or DMs!)

PRAISING HIM!

Every Sunday, Praising Him! features a family dedicated to spreading the Word. Today we meet the de la Cruzes, a San Sequoian family of 16.

When Alejandro and Alina (née Fletcher) de la Cruz married at nineteen, they could not have imagined what would come next! Over the past twenty-six years, the couple has made faith the centerpiece of their lives, and has continued to “Praise Him!” through the ups and downs of busy family life.

Read more about their family below!

-

Alejandro, 45, works as a programmer at United Christian Publishers, and holds a Distinguished Degree in Computer Science from Foxbury Christian University. He began his journey into higher education not at 18, like many students, but at 26, shortly after the birth of his seventhborn, Cecilia! Owing to his unique circumstances, he chose to enroll in a six-year program that enabled him to work full-time as a freelance programmer in addition to his courseload. Though money was tight at times, the Lord provided, and Alejandro welcomed five bundles of joy (including a darling set of twins!) with wife Alina while enrolled at Foxbury. Whew!

Alina, 45, has chosen to fulfill God’s design for women by staying at home with her family. Raised in a devout household, she always knew He was calling her toward marriage and motherhood, and she says the “greatest blessing” in her life was the day she gave birth to her eldest son Gabriel, ten months after her wedding day and just shy of her twentieth birthday. In addition to raising and homeschooling the seven de la Cruz children who have yet to graduate, Alina is active in her church and in Institute for Strong Christian Standards (ISCS) circles, and enjoys spending time with her four (soon to be five!) beautiful grandbabies. A true Proverbs 31 woman if we’ve ever seen one!

You may recognize Gabriel de la Cruz and his lovely wife Esther, 23, from last summer’s print edition of Praising Him! At just 25, Gabriel is a rising star in the Christian legal world, coming to the aid of innocent Simericans simply trying to practice their faith. Ten months ago, they welcomed their first little girl, Abigail, and just last week they announced the upcoming arrival of their second child! Congratulations to them.

-

Althea Brown (née de la Cruz), 24, is following in her mother’s footsteps and proud of it! The young woman, who wed husband John-David, 28, three years ago, resides in Newcrest and is a content stay-at-home-mother of two.

Jasmine Booth (née de la Cruz), 23, known to friends and family as “Jazzy,” is enjoying the bliss of new parenthood alongside her husband of two years, Jason!

The first set of de la Cruz twins, Joshua and Sofia, 21, are both unattached and living at home. Sofia is pursuing a calling in missionary work, and Joshua is hard at work saving money and praying for his future family. “If you’re reading this as a young Christian woman,” Sofia jests, “have your father write into Praising Him! and I’ll set up a date with Josh!”

Caterina de la Cruz, 20, is diligently knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidering, and cross-stitching her way through her season of singleness! Though she prays every day for her Prince Charming (nonbelievers need not apply!), she assures Praising Him! that she’s quite content to assist her mother in running the busy de la Cruz household in the interim.

Cecilia de la Cruz, 18, the only unmarried de la Cruz not living at home, declined to comment.

The rest of the de la Cruz children, who range in age from 8 to 17, are kept busy with homeschooling, ISCS conferences, music practice, and Bible study.

🌲🍁🥧 Harvestfest 🌲🍁🥧

(Adalynn's POV)

Happy Harvestfest! We all made out way to my parents house in Newcrest for a weekend full of family, food, and fellowship. One thing we tried to arrange beforehand was the grandkids picture since we didn't manage to get one last year, and now that the babies that were in utero last year have been born (and no one that we know of is pregnant) we decided now was the perfect time. We mixed up the kids so that there was a big kid-little kid plan, mostly for crowd control purposes so that they would be able to handle the toddlers. The oldest four (Noah, Luke, Chloe, and AJ) were holding the youngest four (Grace, Everett, Jackson, and Bethany). As the years go by and the children grow (and with more being born, Lord willing) we'll have to keep finding new ways to arrange all the children.

Annette (21), Macie (33), Casandra (53), Allan (56), Ashton (17)

My parents and the girls at home are all doing great! Now that there's no longer anyone in school, my parents have more time for their other things, though it seems with the more the family grows the busier they'll get! My dad continues to shepherd the flock of Newcrest Baptist, there's a blossoming pastoral staff that also help to keep the place running for the Lord's glory. It also gives him time to travel to speaking engagements at other churches as well as different revivals, jubilee's, hymn sings, and festivals. My mother is also busy with her role as mother, grandmother, and pastor's wife. She somehow finds the time to show all of us that we're definitely loved and valued. She helps to homeschool Barrett and Kyleigh's kids whenever needed, as well as the kids coming to their house for music lessons. When they're not home or travelling to commitments, they're usually visiting with one of us that live out of town, they try and schedule their visits to us to coincide with their travelling for their commitments. My sisters are all busy busy bees! Macie splits her time between being at home or in ministry, and when she's not doing that she's visiting with one of us. Annette works as a babysitter helping families at church that need that extra support, she just loves children and is grateful she gets to spend time with children all day. Both girls remain in a season of singleness, and they're using it to the full, with our cousin Celeste getting married this winter they've been recruited to help with the planning and execution of the wedding. Ashton also babysits children in the congregation, she's in the church choir and spends her days helping out wherever she can. Since she has less responsibilities she spends the most time travelling, so she gets to spend longer amounts of time with the siblings.

Mason (35) & Adalynn Leonard (34) with Titus (2) and Bethany (3m), Luke (10), Paul (8), Caleb (4), Joshua (6), Jonah (4), Noah (12), Aaron (9)

We are so thankful for the Lord's grace! Little Bethany joined our family this summer and we are over the moon that the Lord chose for this little girl to join us - her 8 older brothers and her parents are over the moon! We've had two kids get saved this year (Paul & Joshua) and it's such a blessing that we've been able to lead our kids to the Lord for his glory! Since the arrival of little miss, Mason and I have been feeling like the Lord is leading us in the direction of a new house. Since she's so young and has about a year in our room with us, we have time to see whether we're going to extend the house by adding a level or whether we'll move to a whole new house altogether. We've got a bunch of prayer warriors on our side so I'm sure we'll get an answer soon.

(AN: Ignore the height differences, planning poses with so many sims means you gotta sacrifice a few things here and there)

Barrett (33) and Kyleigh Collins (31) with Preston (2) and Jackson (6m), Marigold (6), Daisy (7), Benjamin (9), Rose (8), Olivia (4), Violet (8), Jefferson (1), Allan Jr (9), and Chloe (9)

Barrett and Kyleigh are also thankful for a new blessing from the Lord, little Jackson made his appearance soon after Parker and Lana's wedding, so we got a 2-for-1 deal really! They're also prayerfully considering their house, so our prayer circles are really working hard in this season our two families are in. They also had two kids get saved this year, it brought so much joy to my heart when Kyleigh shared in our group chat that the girls had gotten saved and baptised at church! My parents started the tradition of gifting the 'savee' a bible and a family lunch, and it's such a precious tradition that they're able to now carry out with their grandchildren. They only have 12 grandkids that are in the average age range for getting saved (of course it can happen before or after that time period - all in the Lord's timing!), but as the grandchildren grow and continue to multiply they're going to need the Lord's help to get them everywhere that they're needed!

Francisco (34) and Zoe Moreno (30) with Javier Jr (3) and Cassie (1)

Zoe and her family are happy and thriving in Windenburg, Francisco's job gives him weekends off so the family gets to attend church on the weekends. Zoe has amassed a solid amount of students that she teaches piano and violin, as well as some students that she video conferences for their lessons. With two young children to care for and a house to maintain, she's an expert at managing her time. They're slowly approaching the time when Francisco gets his orders and they've got to move, but they've not put their choices in yet so we have no idea where they'll be right now. Little Cassie turns two years old in a few months, so the plan is to have a birthday party for her when we're all back in town for Celeste's wedding. Ashton is heading back to Windenburg to spend some time with them as well as with Amira and her family, she'll ride back with them for the wedding.

Shane (28) and Maggie Wright (27) with Iris (2) and Arlo Wright (2)

Maggie and her family are doing wonderful! They were in Sulani earlier this summer with Reece and Amira's families, it's wonderful getting to see my younger siblings bonding as adults with families of their own. Little Arlo and Iris seem to have grown leaps and bounds since I last saw them, the kids love getting to video chat with them and love whenever they get to visit with each other. Usually Maggie and her family will try and pass through to see us during their travels, so that's when the kids get to see each other.

Reece (26) and Stacie Collins (26) with Liam (5) and Hazel (2)

Reece and Stacie have also been doing great, Liam has breezed through kindergarten and is getting ready to start grade 1. Stacie will be homeschooling Liam through a homeschool co-op, they said that they felt that was the best option for getting the kids socialised with like minded children.

Beckett (24) and Mandy Collins (22)

Beckett and mandy are back for their yearly vacation from the mission field. It's so great to see them in person and hear the wonderful stories they have to tell about the great work that they're doing out there in Selvadorada. Whilst they haven't been blessed with a child as of yet, the Lord has kept them content with their current life and has showered them in blessings of many kinds. They'll be focusing on fundraising efforts for the mission field, as well as trying to see as much family as they can.

Thomas (24) and Amira Eichelburg (23) with Maya (1)

Amira and her family are wonderful and thriving! Little Maya is such a sweet girl, a total reflection of her wonderful mother! Amira was such a wonderful baby and child, and Maya is exactly like her mother. Their little family are wonderful and are so blessed by the Lord, and they've been doing more travelling this year when their schedule allows. They'll be sharing Ashton with Zoe this winter as they get to have some quality sister time before we meet again for Celeste's wedding.

Felix (26) and Priscilla Robert (21) with Andrew (2) and Grace (9m)

Little Grace has joined the family since we were last all together, and her name is so precious! Little Andrew is such a wonderful big brother and these two babies are the light of their parents lives! Priscilla always says that life in Oasis Springs spoils them with the heat, but she does miss having the traditional autumn and winter weather and is glad to be with family - as we all are!

Charles (20) and Lorilee Collins (19) with Everett (9m)

Charles and Lorilee welcomed little Everett into the family around the new year, and have been thanking the Lord for that blessing. Lorilee has been sharing that she's been doing better than expected at the postpartum period, especially for a first-timer. They're talking about moving out of their apartment and finding a house for their little family (that they're hoping to expand!)

Parker (19) and Lana (19) Collins

Lana was also a new joiner to the family this year! She's such a sweet girl and is a wonderful wife to Parker. Their wedding was beautiful and wonderfully glorified the Lord, which is a testament to the minds and hearts of Parker and Lana. As an older sibling, it's been my prayer that my siblings find spouses that challenge them and push them to the Lord, and I'm thankful to say that Lana does exactly that!

We also managed to take a group picture! There's 55 people in our 'immediate' family - imagine that! There's my parents, then the 13 kids, the 10 spouses, and 30 grandkids! The lord has blessed us greatly and beyond our wildest imagination.

For comparison, this is a picture from way before any of us got married, and then a picture with Mason, Noah, and Kyleigh in the family. Who would've thought that in less than 15 years we'd go from a family of 15 to a family of 55! This is probably the biggest example of God's goodness in our lives!

aletyler is great don't get me wrong but did nobody notice the way ezekiel was like "woww eh?" when alejandro helped him up?? imagine a big stupid polycule. aleheatylezeke. flirtatious manipulator x socially blind homeschooler x strategic ambitious girlie x oblivious jock who keeps getting injured. we get the aletyler romantic tension, the aleheather plotline, and an excuse to keep ezekiel in wt longer. it's perfect! then throw the heather-alejandro-cody family dynamic in there. not only does cody now have a mom and dad who won't forget his birthday, he has two extra dads! silly gay dads! the best kind of dads!

and because i can't have polyamory in the sims without a mod, i'll be downloading one soon (and i'll probably get a virus /j)

Al-Qahira by RI0711

Do you like exploring tombs? Have you done the tombs in the WA worlds approximately 1,571,342 times and you're looking for something new? Or, do you like exploring tombs but not so much doing quests? Well, I have a world for you!

As you can see, this is an Egyptian-themed world. It's an old one, uploaded in 2010, and it might not be much to look at from a distance, but it's chock-full of tombs, about a dozen of them, which I'm sure is why I downloaded the world, whenever I downloaded it. I was figuring on one or two tombs and/or maybe recycled EA ones, but nope! They are all original and they range from small to very, very large.

The world is large, too, 2048x2048, unpopulated, and entirely roadless. Although it's large, it ought to run smoothly on most machines, since it has few lots, only about 35, total. Some of the tombs are far-flung, so it will be a bit of an expedition to get to them, explore them, and then get back to your home lot. Bring snacks, a tent, and maybe a camel horse.

Tombs aside, the world is pretty basic, though it has some nice desert scenery here and there. It might be better to use it as a vacation world via the Traveler mod, though it would be possible to use it as a homeworld, too. However, except for a mausoleum in the graveyard, it has no rabbitholes at all, though there are three empty lots that they could theoretically be added to, especially if you were to use rugs, since they take up less space. There are also none of the "standard" community lots aside from one large and several smaller markets with the WA registers (so you can buy groceries and books, at least) and the afore-mentioned graveyard. You could certainly add some rabbithole rugs to the large market, in particular. You could also add lots for rabbitholes and such, as most of the world is routable, BUT not much of the terrain is flat aside from areas that are already built on. So, you'd have to do some creative construction. Of course, you could have your sims make money in non-rabbithole-career ways, but they'll still be lacking services and entertainment and such, if such things matter to you.

There are about a dozen pre-built houses, concentrated in two small parts of the world. They are mostly small and basic, just simple rectangles or a few rectangles stuck together, much like the houses in Al Simhara. Most of them are just basically furnished with the essentials, but some are empty. Most of them have only one bedroom. So, as-is, between the one-bedroom houses and the lack of a school, it's not really a place for families. That said, the houses are mostly on larger lots with lots of leftover space, and because of the basic-ness of their layouts, they could be expanded/re-built easily if you wanted to play growing families in the world. (Or maybe steal some lots from Rusalem and replace the ones in this world. ;) ) And there's always homeschooling, via mods, if you don't add a school rabbithole. (Boarding schools won't be accessible since the world is roadless.)

The world only requires World Adventures, which I think was the only EP that existed when this world was uploaded. I didn't notice any Store content, and there's no CC. The world has all of the basegame and WA spawners, including dig site spawners. You might need to use the Collection Helper reward to find them because most of them are widely scattered across the world.

As usual, the title of this post is a link to the world's Exchange page. Or, if you don't want to deal with the Exchange/the launcher/sims3packs, I have uploaded a .world file here. If you get that, it goes in your game install files under GameData - Shared - NonPackaged - Worlds.

Note: The creator of the world is a Spanish-speaker, so all of the lot addresses/descriptions as well as things like those little plaques that your sim can read in/outside of tombs that can give you clues are in Spanish. So, if you're not a Spanish-speaker yourself, you might want to keep Google Translate on-hand while you play. :)

More pics and stuff behind the cut!

I usually put Edit Town/map view pics here, but it doesn't seem really necessary for this world, since there are no rabbitholes and the only community lots are either tombs or markets. So, we'll jump right to lot pics. Here are some pics of some of the houses:

As I said, they're very simple and quite similar to the houses in Al Simhara, but as far as I can tell they're all new and only one is duplicated. Because they are simple and placed on larger-size lots, they could be expanded or simply demolished and rebuilt, if you like to build.

Moving on to community lots, here is the graveyard, which is pretty plain but it could certainly be jazzed-up:

Here are some pics of the big, main market, which is actually two lots, basically, one 64x64 and the other smaller with the tower-like building on it.

The tower building in the first pic is dedicated to nectar tasting and sales, but it doesn't have nectar-making machines. The other, main building has some snake charming baskets, chess tables, lots of bookshelves, and the WA registers. The building on the left side of the last pic just has a little pond and some seating in it. If you wanted to add rabbithole rugs to the world, this lot certainly has space to add ones that would make sense, like maybe the business one or even the city hall. It would also make sense to add consignment registers here.

This is one of the smaller markets, which has book and food registers:

And, aside from another even smaller market that is basically just a food stall, the rest of the community lots are tombs. Here are some spoiler-free pics of some of them from the outside:

I don't want to spoil any of the tombs, in case anyone decides to download and play this world, but I will say that I did two of the tombs when I took pics of the world, one fairly short and one very long, and they were both challenging, at least more so than the EA tombs. In the two that I ran through, there were lots of non-obvious traps, many of which couldn't be disarmed, so I had to cross them to advance farther into the tomb. So, Athletic skill is recommended. Also, many of the traps are fire traps with no dive wells to extinguish yourself, so if you don't just cheatily remove the "singed" and "fear" moodlets like I did, bring showers in cans and prepare to wait while moodlets wear off! There were also lots of mummies hiding in sarcophagi, which you have to open because some sarcophagi have switches that you have to "flip" in order to continue. Such sarcophagi are often in rooms with no quick way out, so you might have to fight the mummies (or go to Al Simhara first and stock up on mummy snacks). Also, there were some puzzles that took a bit of thought to solve. Not like RPG game levels of thought or anything, but certainly more thought than the WA tombs. And you won't get rich from tomb-raiding because at least in the two that I did there were no gems or relics, but I did get lots of ancient coins (which are useless in this world, of course, but you can use them in the WA worlds) and a nice little stash of high-quality nectar! The two tombs I did were quite fun, so I'm sure the others are as well.

And that's pretty much all I have to say. We'll finish off with some random scenery pics.
