Bonus pictures of the two siblings I pay less attention to!

So you don’t like the mountain skylines? I saw you didn’t use them in your last scenery post.

I love the mountain skylines! I’m just really behind on updates, so the gameplay pictures I’ve been posting from the Dunne-Blake round are from before I put the skylines in my game. (I played the household almost two months ago… D:)

Your game is so beautiful. I saw some pictures on my dash once and then went through the entire Sycamore Cove tag (back when it had only 75 pages thankfully). Little creepy sounding and I apologize, but I’ve never been as inspired to make a custom hood as when I’m looking at Sycamore Cove. Don’t lose that love for this silly game!

Thank you so much!! What a lovely message. ;_; ❤ It’s not creepy at all, I love hearing that people enjoy Sycamore Cove so much that they go back to the very beginning! ❤ I really hope you decide to make your own custom hood, it’s so much fun and there are so many awesome TS2 players who are still active in the community that you will never be at a loss for inspiration!

PS. This game keeps me coming back even after 14 years, so I’m sure I’ll be playing it for a loooong time to come! 🙂

I freakin’ love your blog, I love seeing your updates on my dash <3

Ahhhhh thank you!!! That means a lot <333 I feel like I’ve been spamming everyone’s dashboard with my extreme backlog of updates! :3

My obsession with family outings continues! It’s stressful playing a large family (I get so focused on making sure everyone’s basic needs are met that I often neglect to do any “extracurriculars”), so with both Matthew and Graham out of the house, it became slightly more manageable. So I thought it’d be a good opportunity for the quadruplets to have a some sibling bonding time at the bowling alley. 🙂

Some defaults I made aaaages ago that I’d been too lazy to take preview pictures for. (Does anyone even need more defaults? I feel like we have so many already?) Anyway, just in case anyone is interested or needs a bit more variety, I’ll share!

First, this basegame outfit replaced with this outfit (an oldie but a goodie!) by cloudlessnights. All four original colors, yf-enabled.

Then a replacement for this basegame outfit with this dress by JaRo & Skell. Four colors, yf-enabled, everyday only (~~despite it being a replacement for afbodyformaldress because I’m picky about what gets categorized as formalwear~~).

Note that you can only have one default replacement for a given outfit at any one time! Please keep this in mind as I’ve been going back and re-defaulting some things I’ve already defaulted with different outfits. 🙂

(I feel like no one in this household goes to school/work)

I love Ava’s secondhand embarrassment as Alfred relives his college days by performing the school cheer for Charlotte. He’s just excited that ~~I’ve decided~~ Matthew will be attending his alma mater!

How long does it take for you to load the game? It takes me more than 30 minutes, so I don’t play often.

Hi there! Mine takes about 20 minutes to get to the neighborhood screen, and an extra 5 or so to get into CAS. 🙂 It used to take 40+ minutes (possibly even close to an hour?!) before I got my SSD drive and back when I had over 17GB of CC… :O

As much as I loooove CC, I’ve trained myself to become a lot more selective when downloading because having the game load (relatively) quickly and running smoothly makes a world of difference for me. 🙂

got distracted while trying to take preview pictures for some long-forgotten default replacements
