I always love how detailed the format of your email is. Detail is so great.

I agree with you Landgraabs are well known for their lady and gentleman. They are rich, but always humble. They are strong but always help the needed. They act with such dignified and their grace always shines and makes others feel intimidated and yet fascinated with their presence.

That’s Landgraabs for me ::)

Simon ended up with Lexie? Why not? Go for it.
Sam and Sandi seem enjoy their moments, so when they will get married ::) ?
You did great job with creating all scenes Raia, even without a pose player. It’s so natural. Bravo ;)

Oh gosh, how many more kids are they gonna have?! I'd probably go insane with just one child.  :o

Yay for the new nooboo!
I love the way you wrote that chapter, the emails back and forth are a great way to show time passing and you get to see what's going on with everyone.

I've been meaning to ask, how do you get the pictures in black and white? I've been trying to figure it out and it just won't work.

I dips my lid to your Raia.  Awesome chapter and very well written.  Welcome nooboo Abigail.  Now Morgana can achieve her life time wish.  Sam and Sandi must be a good match as they usually get together in my games.

Nice emails chapter update. It was good to see Sam and Sandi studying in the university. And very happy welcome to nooboo Abigail. And love to see the cute face of Winter. Looking forward for more nice updates.

Winter is an absolutely adorable child. :) Thanks! I've been looking forward to sending Sam to university pretty much from the beginning.

Glad that they made it into one piece, not pieces :P
It seems both of Sandi and Sam really have fun there. They didn't do anything suspicious do they? I hope that they didn't ::)
I believe five is not enough yet for Leighton and Morganna. So, it is six now? I believe they will be craving more if the room still available ::)
I see that Landgraab and Sekemoto will be together. So many stories of the family in one update ;)


Anything suspicious...well, Sam did tag a few places, and to be honest I was actively trying to get him arrested for it (would have made an amusing plot point). He must have a hidden Lucky trait or something.

As for Alexia and Simon, they still have a long way to go. Lexie it still getting used to the whole "friend" idea first. :P

That’s Landgraabs for me ::)

You did great job with creating all scenes Raia, even without a pose player. It’s so natural. Bravo ;)

Honestly, Lexie doesn't have all that many options. There are a total of six teens at the moment: Johnny Keaton, Alison Ursine, Lacey Steel (Jamie and Thornton's daughter), Randall Langerak, Simon Landgraab, and Alexia Sekemoto. Lacey is going steady with Johnny and has been ever since she turned teen, and Randall aged up with a couple of rather...unfortunate traits (Couch Potato, conflicting with Lexie's Athletic, and Evil, which turned him into a real jerk).

Simon on the other hand has an amazing list of traits: Brave, Over-Emotional, Charismatic, and Friendly, sharing the Brave trait with Lexie. About the only thing I don't like about him is that he looks too much like his father.

And thanks!

Oh gosh, how many more kids are they gonna have?! I'd probably go insane with just one child.  :o

This is it on the kids, I promise. :P My goal was to allow both Leighton and Morgana to achieve their LTWs of Surrounded by Family. Leighton will reach that when Winter ages to teen, but Sam doesn't count for Morgana, so a sixth child had to come into the picture.

Yay for the new nooboo!
I love the way you wrote that chapter, the emails back and forth are a great way to show time passing and you get to see what's going on with everyone.

Thank you! I admit I love the e-mail format. It's fun adding all of the seemingly silly details. :)

I've been meaning to ask, how do you get the pictures in black and white? I've been trying to figure it out and it just won't work.

I process the screencaps after the fact using photo editing software, and just switch the color scheme to grayscale there. If you need any hints or tips to that regard, feel free to PM me. :)

I dips my lid to your Raia.  Awesome chapter and very well written.  Welcome nooboo Abigail.  Now Morgana can achieve her life time wish.  Sam and Sandi must be a good match as they usually get together in my games.

They do seem to be a common couple. They wind up together probably a good 60% of the time in my games, though a more recent save file has Sandi married to Arlo and Sam dating the Ursine girl.

Thanks much. :) Hope that everything is going well on your end.

Next up: Leighton and Morgana's anniversary has always been doubly magical, given that it also marks the day of their eldest daughter's birth. Now, fifteen years later, a third occasion will be added to the list. It's time for another wedding. :)

I believe that what she means here about the forbidden related due to sacred thing Raia. Eh, but that maybe just me ::)

Good to know and good move. Lexie still need to find about Simon first, because of the thing that happened earlier to her. She might be shocked and kinda mistrust male a bit, well she didn’t want to repeat the same mistake again is she :P ?

Yes, so many girls yet so few stocks of boy :(

I just wonder about that, do you dislike Geoffrey anyhow?
Would you mind to share me Simon close up view, just one screenshot please?

Okay! I will wait patiently for the next installment.

Actually this is what I mean :P Well, just forget about it ::)

Sam did that? Why didn't you mention that to your current story? That might be interesting to see his 'bad boy' side.
The next installment sounds appealing for me, I'll wait patiently just for that :)
Good luck, Raia.

Oh...OH! <blush> Well, that's between Sam and Sandi, y'know. Even a Watcher needs to respect her sims' privacy. :P

I thought about adding the tagging anyway, but thinking about it from Sam's perspective, I'm not sure he would have wanted his father to find out about that. He probably would have left it out of his e-mails...though I can almost bet that Sam's street art will make an appearance somewhere. :)

And the most amazing thing is he is a Landgraab ::)
I just wonder about that, do you dislike Geoffrey anyhow?

Oh no, I don't dislike Geoffrey at all. He's actually one of my favorite sims. No...it's just that Simon looks so much like Geoffrey and Lexie looks so much like Morgana that it makes me do a double-take whenever they're together. Once they become YA it's really going to get confusing. :P It would have been a bit easier if Simon had more of his mother's features.

Once I play the save file again I'll see about getting a good screencap of him.

Edit: Here he is.



He didn't inherit his father's dusty blonde hair, but other than that it looks like he is all Geoffrey.

OMG, Raia! You never mentioned me about this so I don't know. So, I checked this forum for awhile and looking at your thread and well what we see here. Yes, he looks like Geoffrey so much but without his skin and hair. What is his eyes colour? I can’t see them clearly with those glasses on. It’s the same colour like Geoffrey?

Okay! Thank you for sharing this Raia! You just made my day! I hope that I’ll see the continuation soon! Okay, time to log off again ;D

Simon just like Geoffrey, so I wonder where's Malcolm? *searching around*
Is he ended up with someone somehow? For example like Miss Alto with Mr Bunch :P ?

@ Eld - Yes, he does have the same green eyes as Geoffrey. Now that I look at him more closely he may have his mother's lips, so that's at least one difference. :P

@ Luna - To be honest I haven't really been paying attention to Malcolm in this save file. :P He is a YA at this point, that much I do know, and I'm fairly certain he's at least dating someone, though I don't know who.

Well, at least I wish that he's not end up with Cycl0n3 like in someone story :P

So, I want to know about him, Raia. Would you mind to include about his partner in the next update? You don’t have to include his screenshot (well, if there is one that would be better) Just to mention about him and I will be happy. Well, since weird syndrome seems attacking people game (I read some stories) so I want to make sure about yours too :p

@Luna: What? It’s not my wish that he end up like that. But at least that he's live happily ever after with Darleen :P

@Raia: Ah, so his father eyes. How many children that usually Nrass Story Progression gave you to the townies, Raia? I have tried it in non-challenge attempts and it's so awesome and unbelievable, the town gets the life back! In my game it’s quite something though. Can you believe that they’re keep ‘productive’ even they excess their household limit?

It really depends on chance. I've had some couples who had four or five children via Nraas story progression, and some who have had none at all. In this particular save file the Langerak, Bunch, Alto, and Landgraab families all had another child. Dave Ramsey (originally a homeless townie) got together with Monika Morris and they have two children, the Keatons have two, I think, and the Andrews family has at least one. Emma Hatch and Jared Frio are also married and have a child. Blair once again has had zero luck in the romance department, and Cycl0n3 is married to a (now elder) Fiona McIrish.

I went back to check, and Malcolm was dating Kaylynn, but they recently broke up. Turns out she cheated on him with Hank Goddard (I'm guessing she aged up with the Flirty trait...yipes!)
