Because these people are breaking my heart around here lately. (Just wait until we get to the next chapter - it's like everybody decided to fall apart at the seams simultaneously.) So I decided to do a collection of happy and uncomplicated moments from happy and uncomplicated couples. Okay, so maybe not all of these couples are (or will be) completely uncomplicated, but they're all very happy together, for sure!
A lot of these were going to go in my extras at the end of the chapter, but it feels called for now :)
Catherine and Jacob: sister and brother for 2 months...*Who doesn't love babies in bear hats?*Charlotte and Paul, married three and a half years.*Despite her fears, Charlotte and Paul are both very much in love.*Felicity and Connor, best friends for five months.* I'm telling you, if I were the type to pair them up, people!... ;) *
Liza and Robbie, best friends for six years.*This last one was one I started for the "couples guess who?" that I'm not going to end up doing. Because it took me about a half an hour just for this one shot, lol! It was a nice idea in theory.*Orion and Violet, married twenty-one years.*Love shy Sims flirting! Or maybe I just love Orion and Violet ;) *Delphie and Dakota, sisters for thirteen years.*They'll always be twins, but I love this age they're at, where they're starting to become their own little women. *Natty and Charlie, going out for four months.* Sigh, young love... :) *Riley and Chad, reluctantly happily married for fifteen years.* The secret they're keeping, by the way, doesn't really have anything to do with the state of their relationship. These two were also a young marriage, at nineteen (and Liza on the way.) But Riley is so funny in my head, every time she looks at her husband, I hear her say, "I can't believe I'm still in love with this fool!" Because she is, very much so, lol! *Amelia and Drew, engaged for twelve days.* This last one is the one I especially wished I could see people walking around my city in TS2. *Bella and Cameron, married two months and together ten years.*See, they are nice to each other sometimes. *Adrian and Aurora, together thirty-two years.*This was a funny blooper that happened right after they came back from their vacation. They'd been on so many dream dates while they were away that as soon as they got home, after having a quick little afternoon delight, they both popped out roses for each other ;) *See, I do have some happy couples in this hood! :)
Awww, thanks, I needed that. And ROFL at the last photo. I've had that happen too, right after they woohooed too!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that not everyone is falling out and breaking up :)
ReplyDeleteI've had the date glitch happen too, when both of the sims lived on the same lot. One sim wouldn't stop putting the roses next to the door. It was like she had an endless supply!
Awwww! There are some really great shots in here. I love Liza and Robbie in the tree. And the very last shot of Aurora and Adrian.
ReplyDeleteLove those baby hats, mind me asking WCIF?
ReplyDeleteFelicity and Connor are adorable! I LOVE the background with the farming, looks like my parents place (hence no reception). Luckily for your sims you don't have no cell recpetion in the country. :) I really like Liza and Robbie and Natty and Charlie... heck, I really like them all. :p
I'm obsessed with those baby hats. I'm not going to use another mesh for my babies ever, unless someone comes up with an even more adorable hat!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, even with no couple "guess who", you got a cute shot out of it!
I giggled at Riley and Chad being "reluctantly happily married". LOL. But I'm glad you revealed that their secret isn't about their relationship, because that's where my mind jumped to when you posted that picture! I'm still crazy curious though!
I love Amelia and Drew "engaged for twelve days". What a great time this must be for them, with their engagement still fresh and so exciting for them.
This was fun...it's nice to have some levity after a lot of sadness around LH recently!
Riverdale, lol, yes, woohoo seems to bring it out of them, doesn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteShake, there's definitely more happy than tragic in LH-land... it's just that happy doesn't make for very interesting stories, lol! Maybe I should do more happy picspam to balance out the tragic?
Lunar, thanks! Some of these were really fun to make. Especially the Robbie and Liza one, and the Drew and Amelia one. Sometimes it's fun just to take a neat picture, with no other motives in mind.
Maisie, hmmm, baby hats... fakepeeps7 at MTS!
Thanks! I could take pictures all day out in Bluewater! I grew up in rural Michigan, so it's very dear to my heart, and the kids out there remind me so much of my childhood. Even Fiona, lol! :)
Carla, I know, aren't those hats just the best?!?
Riley and Chad, as unromantic as they are, somehow manage to make my heart glow. And you know, I'll probably need a couple of beta readers for that story when it's done ;)
And Amelia and Drew, they're lovin' it up all over town, as Corbin can attest to, lol!
I agree, maybe I'll have to do more of these random happy posts.
I love those pictures!!! How did you make that pic of Liza and Robbie sitting on the tree? I wish I could do that.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the happy pictures, too... and lots of different kinds of relationships, too, not just romances.
ReplyDeleteProbably the best stories come from people who are unhappy in some way, but its good to see the happy ones sometimes too!
I have also now downloaded bear hats... you have started a baby fashion trend in sim-world :)
Thank you. For a lot of reasons. Absolutely wonderful of you to do this! The shots are gorgeous, as usual, creative and beautiful, and your choice of 'happy moments' perfectly composed.
ReplyDeleteM.J., the advanced OMSPs! Really, I don't have many "tricks" - just my OMSPs and my freezer clock mostly. They're using the hang out on the swings interaction, and I moved them up to the tree.
ReplyDeleteBlackcat, ah, but the happy ones are only happy because they struggled to get there ;) Either that, or they don't know the shit is about to hit the fan, lol!
I can't take credit for the baby bear hat trend, I think that would be Carla!
Beth, you're welcome! It was a pleasure to do this one! :)
These extras are great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has to be Liza and Robbie in the tree... wow! I can't believe how awesome you've become at staging screenshots!
There are some other gems in there too... Catherine and Jacob, and Amelia and Drew in the city!
Billy, well the Robbie and Liza one took me a good long time, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's just trial and error, really. But thank you! :)
