Author's Notes: My experiment, and by extension Velmoor's, is not, does running make Sims live longer, it's what makes Sims live longer. I notice you all say run, but you all also say "I think"
So I'm experimenting, so far, though I haven't tested my thoughts on nearly enough Sims, the biggest data point so far is whether they were employed, my employed elders all lived to 100 or more, unemployed ones, including Karina who retired,despite being fit, running everyday, and having the 500 m bonus (as does Allison at this point) only lived a bit over 90. Is it coincidence, at this point, very probably, but maybe it's significant, and me and my science-y, experimental mind wants to find out! So Allison jogs at least 3 days a week, but I give her varied exercise because it's one of the things I want to find out if it has any effect as well. After I've tested my thoughts over at least 50 Sim lives, I may show all my data
Thanks Juxt! You're awesome too! And that was an awesome update! 
Velmoor is very handsome! Shouldn't Allison be jogging if she wants to live longer though? Or does it work like that too? I usually use the treadmill for that one, so I'm confused on how it works lol.
Thank you Esther, Velmoor may be no Antonio Dreamweaver, but he's at least a bit dreamy LOL Your confusion on the matter is understandable, no worries
Brilliant update.
Just a tip, I was able to use the 'Dispel Rumors' on Friends were the rumor had damaged the Friendship. This allowed them to be friends again, but 'Dispel Rumors' was only available if 3 days of shame moodlet was showing.
Can't wait to to find out what Quain's super max skill is going to be. He is super cute
Thank you SassySimmer, and you are totally right, it does work on new friends, sometimes even mere acquaintances you've barely met, I should have made that clear, I'm glad you pointed it out. However, to get to non-household people, you have to go out, or invite them over, you frequently pick up the negative version of the "got recognized" moodlet, which is another negative that lasts 8 hours, so I only used outsiders to dispel when I didn't have enough family members, I only mentioned what I considered the easiest way, but that wasn't complete information.
Yes you need the shame moodlet, which frequently Allison doesn't get when she gets rumors, which seems strange to me. The reason I brought the topic up at all is that I've mentioned dispel rumors as a way of dealing with celebrity rumors before and a few forum users were like "Dispel Rumors, what's that?" So I thought I'd help by showing and telling
Plus Sims make funny faces when dispel rumors is going LOL
I *hate* getting falsely accused. If nothing else it shouldn't affect relationships with family members. Grr. And I think Esther's right - if you're trying to extend Allison's lifespan, she needs to be jogging. A lot. I think 500 km to get the challenge works out to about 50 hours of jogging time.
Good luck with your skill, Quain! I'm sure you'll be as good at it as your daddy is at doctoring.
Thank you cathyknits, thanks for the advice, don't worry she hit 500 km LONG ago. Quain has fisherman's luck for sure!
Quain is so cute
Thank you Alexandria, I can't help but agree, *sigh* but all cute little things must grow up in time.
ME: At an epic family party, little Quain becomes a child, but it seems as though something is distracting them from the occasion, because no one is smiling, and hardly anyone wanted to watch the birthday boy, maybe that's why they're pouting.
Sashyna: Aww, my cute little toddler is a big boy now *pouts.*
ME: Quain's child fashion show! He picked out his own formal wear, I just recolored it because I thought it was a funny choice.
ME: Quain dreams of his future. He dreams of school, and of course, of fish.
Quain: Every morning is just a little nicer with a nutritious snack.
ME: I find it amusing that his juice box matches his outfit, that's what I call high fashion.
Draigoth: People are still saying I was arrested, but I was home all night!
Sashyna: People can be terrible gossips, it just so unwarranted.
ME: So dispelling rumors with Sashyna removed now -16 hours total of the 3 day negative moodlet. So without leaving the house, Draigoth's shame lasted only about 30 hours, and I can live with that, at least it's better that 72.
Quain: This is awesome, it's quiet, beautiful, almost meditative out here, I think I'll be going fishing a lot in the future.
Quain: Wow, my first fish, and it's a nice plump goldfish instead of a puny minnow. I love fishing!
ME: Of course anytime any member of the family is off their own property, they're followed by the paparazzi, Quain is no exception.
Next Time: More dancing, and some more little peeks into the daily lives of the De D'Onlyn Family. (Who has guessed yet that I like dancing pictures? LOL)
