I know, it’s been a hot minute since I posted anything Sims 4 related, but I’m gonna give Pleasantview a break for now. I need to sort a lot of stuff out before I can continue posting stuff in the right order, and then I’m gonna play around with SimPE, so I decided I should get this out of the way. This and the few things I’ve done in Veronaville.

Dominique applied for Foxbury Institute. He wants to major in Computer Science.

Proof he doesn’t hate Magali and they’re still very good friends: she came for a visit.

Yay, he got in! He invited his crush, Sarah, to the school spirit event.

Crystin finally worked out the courage to flirt with Fred Smith, her crush. She has her birthday and becomes a young adult. Her parents are really proud of her.

The beginning of the Tottenburg family

So, this is my first post on this Tumblr account and I’m feeling once again like an awkward newbie - this is nostalgic.

The Tottenburg family name came to me almost immediately when I went into CAS. Traditionally, as a child, I liked creating one Sim and making them master all skillsets, reach the top of their career and pretty much find out all the possible game features through them. Of course it got old, so I eventually developed an interest for huge family trees, since I really liked to explore the premade Sims’ ones on TS2, and creating storylines for each of them (writing is pretty much my favorite hobby). Anyway, now you know the backstory; into the CAS page.

Ironically, I created one Sim initially and launched him into the world. His name was Lucien and he was supposed to be me - or at least a version of me -, I made our initials the same for that reason. He aspired to be a great writer,  but since writing on his own wasn't profitable enough, I made him get a job as a politician. I completely ignored the writing career and I'm not sure if it's because I'm just dumb or if I did it on purpose. No problem though, because even though I myself have no political aspirations, the thought of making the world a better place really appeals to me.

He was an activist as a politician, advocating for his cause No Sim Left Behind. He got to sell some books, but his fixed job came first, sadly. Focusing on the two was very hard, especially because he was trying to save money to move and to find a wife. He eventually found a woman he liked very much, her name was Izumi. They made friends really quickly. As he was preparing to propose to her, though, she asked him if he'd like to come to her birthday party (she was already an adult and Lucien was a young adult). They got married after she grew old and it proved to not be a problem, since Lucien could get pregnant and Izumi could impregnate others. 

The picture above is the only one I have of Lucien, in which he is kissing his first wife.

They had their first child, Ian, who was a very active baby. His square jaw was one of my most loved features on him when he grew up to be a teenager. He loved exercising and dancing. His mother died when he was still a child. So Lucien married his old friend Uriel Fausto, and they had a beautiful baby girl called Ursula. Ursula was trans and I was pissed to see the game misgender her consistently throughout her childhood. I don't agree with the fact that you can't change a child's gender until they're teens; that has nothing to do with their bodies.

Anyway, at least Ursula was free to wear whatever she liked, with her parents full support, since they were both trans. She was bold, confident and had very strong opinions and behavior. She was also very jealous of the people she loved.

Unfortunately, Lucien was very unlucky when it came to his marriages. For some reason, he would always date much older women, and that's why Uriel died of old age just like his first wife. Damn, Lucien. You lost two wives already. Time to stop marrying and focus on your books.

Well, he managed to resurrect Uriel the first time by pleading to the reaper. Uriel was very thankful and used all that emotion as fuel to paint much more. She was a painter, I forgot to mention. But then she died again and he couldn't save her this time. It's okay. It's life. My game progressed really fast back then, I guess it's because I had less people living in the household.

Lucien grew into an elder and Ursula became a child. Without his wives, Lucien decided he wanted to make his dreams come true and he'd waste no time working on something that didn't really make him happy. So he quit the politician career, got a job as a writer and kept writing books at home. I made quite some progress, but he died before he could fulfill his lifetime aspiration.

Ursula and Ian were devastated, but they managed. The family had quite the amount of money (I used cheats to make them move into a big house and I didn't know how to make them lose some), so they survived even with no one working. Lucien, Izumi and Uriel were missed.

After giving him a gift on Love Day, Oswald asked Rafael to be his boyfriend.

John had to sit and think about his behavior after his dad caught him smearing paint on the floor. Luckily, it was very inspiring, which helped him paint on actual paper afterwards, to Rupert’s relief.

Oswald has been single for too long, so he invited his crush to a date at the aer gallery. He’s quite of an art lover himself.

It went well and they ended up woohooing at his place, through which he found out Rafael was actually an alien!

It didn’t change anything for him, although it did make him think about how his family was becoming more and more alien as time went by. The next morning, he made him breakfast and they talked.

It’s John’s birthday! After much suffering, the baby is finally about to grow up. At least now he’ll go to school and thus give his dad some me time.

His brother Henry is spooked, but happy with the situation. He thinks of their long lost cousin Gustavo, who gave birth to five alien kids! He supposes he could ask Wren for some advice.

The other pictures just show the John’s two sides.

Yes, he got abducted. He wasn’t happy with it either. But he just couldn’t resist the cute little thing.

Raina and Henry argue constantly about raising Talyn. He isn’t committed to the task and Raina uses every opportunity she has to tell him how much of an irresponsible father he is.

Henry is honest and tells her he just doesn’t want to be one.

She makes her decision. Her daughter will not grow up with a father who doesn't give a damn about her, especially if he's not even an alien like her. She breaks up with him and moves out.
