Well, shoot. This story is definitely on hold. I think I'm going to have to do a total reinstall. When I try to play the family, it just sits there.  I've waited for an hour for it to start...three times. I can start one of my other families. Just not the Crosbys :( none of my four saves are working.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. :( I hope the reinstallation works! You've worked so much on this family.

Thank you, Apples. I'm downloading right now. It will take a while. I started yesterday and it's only 44% done so it will be at least be another day I think. I would have to have all EPs and SPs. LOL

I am now installing...and updating...and installing...and updating...well, you get the picture. I am thinking positive and assuming everything will go well. So, I will go ahead and make the first post of the Hidden Springs Crosbys and, the others as I can. I did make it all the way through Hidden Springs (sort of) before the crash and burn, so we'll get started.

Hidden Springs is the eighth town that the Crosby family will live in. Here, the family is just moving into another house built by judewright. ZapKid had built me a house for HS but with a Lifetime Wish of Surrounded by Family it won't be large enough.

front:



main floor:



loft:



Davis Crosby is a Genius, Neat, Natural Cook and Family Oriented. His Lifetime Wish is Surrounded by Family. Unfortunately, I seem to have missed taking a Young Adult picture of him. :(

Lora Lancaster Crosby: Vegetarian, Excitable, Easily Impressed, Heavy Sleeper, Coward. Boy those are some traits to be stuck with. Her LTW is Creature Robot Breeder, but that will be changed. She is very pretty with large brown eyes. We'll see what the kids end up with.



They are getting a start on the big family that Davis wants.



Here, Davis is working in the garden that one of my other families started.



Here's Blaine, who wants to have Physical Perfection LTW. He is athletic and disciplined.



I've barely started playing this town and it's already lagging...sigh.

Connor has made his Lifetime Wish! He's a World Renowned Surgeon. Don't you just love the uniform? Not.



Blaine is now a toddler and has dark brown hair and light blue eyes. It looks like we've lost that chiseled cheeks look in this boy.



Isabella Crosby has joined the family. She randomly rolled the brave and genius traits.



I just realized how difficult it's going to be to get five children. We are already at our household max and won't be able to have more children until someone dies...sob. I also have to decide which child will be heir. Right now, I'm thinking the youngest one of the five.

Well, there's one question answered. Bradley Crosby left with Grim at age 99.



Oh, Man! The very next day Grim came for Thelma Goode Crosby. I wasn't complaining, Grim. Really I wasn't! She was 94.

Isabella aged up to toddler. She has dark brown hair and big brown eyes. She's a darling little girl.



And, nooboo number three is on its way.



Irene Crosby just became an elder. It snuck up on me so she didn't get the birthday cake I had planned for her.



In other news, Timothy Crosby was just born. He rolled the Excitable and Loner traits.

Connor now joins the elder generation.



Until next time...

I can't believe Connor is a elder! The nooboos are adorable. :)

Thank you so much for reading and for the comments!

We are back in Hidden Springs in time for another birthday, this time for Timothy's toddler birthday. His has dark brown hair and hazel eye color. These little ones are just too cute!



And yet another birthday. Isabella is a child. I apologize for some of the pictures being missing. Game crashes lost some of them.

There is one more baby on the way, making four kids. Then, they have to either wait for an elder to die or for Blaine to become a Young Adult. I think it will probably be an elder that comes first :( I've changed my mind about the heir. It will be child number four. That way we can make a move to a new town while number five is still young. Hidden Springs is seriously lagging for me now.

This is Olivia Crosby. She will be our heir. Her Lifetime Wish was rolled as Hit Music Composer. Her traits are Genius and Virtuoso.



Bruce Chesterfield fell asleep in the backyard. How did he get in? They have security gates.



Darn! I've lost the relationships in the relationships panel. Whew, they came back in after closing the game and coming back in! This town is an adventure, that's for sure!

It's Olivia's birthday. She has reddish brown hair and blue eyes. She kind of reminds me of her ancestor, Heather Crosby except Heather's face was thinner. What do you think?



Oh My Gosh! What a houseful to keep track of! Toddlers and Children and Adults and Elders...oh my!

We have yet another birthday. Timothy has aged up to a child.



We have a teenager. Things will definitely get interesting now. Blaine is now a teen. He has those pretty light blue eyes. This is the hairstyle the game gave him but I think it suits him.



Olivia is a little too close to the pool for my peace of mind.



I can tell that Hidden Springs is going to be a town of birthdays. This time it's Isabella's turn. She's a teen. She got the same hairdo as her older brother. If that's what she wants, that's what she gets. She is very pretty though.



No matter how many times Bruce Chesterfield is told to go home, he still comes and sleeps here. He thinks he is a part of the family I guess. He will end up dying on the property at this rate. I ended up doing a reset sim on him and he hasn't been back.



Both Davis and Lora are full-fledged adults.

And our heir has aged up to a child. She gained the Neat trait to go with Virtuoso and Genius. She's another pretty child.



Irene Su Crosby has gone with Grim at age 89. R.I.P Irene.



So, they will get going on that fifth child.

It's Timothy's birthday and that makes three teens in the house. Another lost picture :(

Grim came for Connor Crosby at age 93.



It's time for the last child of this generation to be born. It's a girl named Paige. Again, no picture.

This game is painful to play; there is so much lag. I'm spending most of my time sitting and waiting for actions to finish and saving every few seconds. They will be moving as soon as possible. But, I'm a stubborn old woman. I'm determined to finish!

I hope the game behaves long enough for you to finish in Hidden Springs, judewright! You seem to have a very busy household at the moment! :D
You've played too much TS3 when ... your 13 month old's babble sounds like Simlish!

Game lag can be terrible, I'm sorry you have to put up with it. Which town will be next?
All the kids are so pretty.

Awww, thanks you guys!

loveSims, Barnacle Bay is next.


We've finally reached the last post of Hidden Springs. Here kids of all ages are playing on the playground.



Paige has aged up to toddler. She is the only child with her mom's hair and eyes and her dad's hollowed cheeks. None of the kids got Irene's silver eyes.



Olivia also aged up to a teen. She has the natural cook trait now. Well now. She doesn't seem to look like either of her parents. Remember...she is our heir.



Oh dear. I hope I can make it through Hidden Springs. It is laggy and crashes about every two (real life) minutes. Only two days until Blaine is old enough to move out. Maybe that will help.

Blaine has aged up to Young Adult and has moved to a nice house downtown.



Well that didn't help much. Three more days until Isabella ages up.

We can't forget about young Page. She's learned all of her toddler skils and spends most of her time playing with her doll.



Isabella has aged up and moved out of the house. I so hate getting rid of family members like this. And, no picture of Isabella :(

Olivia has a boyfriend named Clint Song.

And, baby Paige is a baby no longer. Boy, she looks like she has a lot of Jones-Brown in her!



All of the children are gone except for Olivia and Paige. I have no pictures because of crashes. It took forever for the kids to all age up and move out on their own. Once Paige aged to teen, both Davis and Lora made their Surrounded by Family Lifetime Wishes.

Okay, I freely admit that I cheated. Since Olivia's boyfriend, Clint Song, is already an adult, I had Davis make him his friend and ask him to move in. Olivia still has four days to go and I don't think this game will last that long. Olivia and Clint will have to get married in Barnacle Bay. I just don't want to give up on this family with only two towns left, Barnacle Bay and Starlight Shores. If this was an official challenge, of course it would be a fail. Good thing its not...LOL

And, here we are in Barnacle Bay. This house is one that I built for my Wyndham Every Lifetime Wish Challenge. (Only made to generation 12 before losing interest.) The talented Joria did the landscaping for me. It's so nice to have everyone moving at a normal speed again, and no crashes so far. Yay!







Since Clint's Lifetime Wish is Animal Rescuer, he adopts four pets right away. I won't show pictures right now because I think I'm close to my picture limit with this post. Okay, except for Orion. I think he's so handsome!



Olivia finally made it to Young Adult and proposes and marries Clint.





Here's Olivia. Isn't she pretty?



And, her husband, Clint Song Crosby. He's quite unique looking. You can definitely see the Oriental but his eyes are hazel in color. His traits are Can't Stand Art, Good, Hydrophobic, Animal Lover and Friendly.



Let's stop here and continue with the Crosbys in Barnacle Bay next time. See you then.
