So, I realize I haven't recapped what's been happening with the Barbie save, and boy, some stuff has happened! As I mentioned, Barbie and Charlie moved out of the Gen 1 house, but why did Charlie go with her older sister? Charlie's pregnant.

I tried my hand at making a Bratz-inspired house! The exterior is modeled after the Bratz World Mansion. Added a gated entrance and a backyard with a pool. I challenged myself with the lot size and it was a bit tight, but I think adding the clear fence at the pool makes it feel bigger!

Trying to figure out the best way to help connect you guys to the larger Tumblr with all the Fontenot storylines. Feels like I'm just talking to the void most days, but I really want to share my story and hear your feedback, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know! ❤️

The Barbie save is moving onto Gen 2! Barbie and her sister Charlie have moved to San Myshuno, and we are officially leaving sleepy suburbia and the Gen 1 house behind. ❤️ Barbie gets the biggest bedroom (of course), and the girls have their first ever TV! They didn't have one in the old house.

So I haven’t been playing much sims lately but I loaded into the Legacy save and decided to do some fixes. When I transferred laptops my sims ages got messed up, so this whole gen is off. I just aged down the kids a bit and y’all… we only have 2 more full weeks of them being kids 🥺 I’m not ready 😭

Ya'll. I hadn't gotten back into lighting mods since getting my new computer but finally started adding some of the basics in and the difference in that even without reshade is crazy 🥹 forgot how much I missed these Before and after! Will I ever be brave enough to use reshade? Only time will tell...

Sabrina's trying to prepare for an uncomfortable conversation. Marquise doesn't know the history between Lanuola and Beau. He doesn't know Sabrina's reservations about him moving her into his apartment. Still, Sabrina is willing to talk things out and hopefully make things good for everyone.

Sabrina wants the best for their child first and foremost. Lanuola is still an unknown factor. Perhaps she means well, or perhaps there's a secret motive.

Sabrina's not lying because they don't want Juno and Marquise to hang-- Sabrina has always struggled with facing conflict, and finding out your ex-fling is now dating your boyfriend's ex (the one who tried to once ruin their relationship) and moved her in creates a lot of conflict.

Marquise does miss Juno. Three weekends without a visit will do that. That being said, he believes Sabrina when they come up with reasons Juno can't come over. He's sad, but having Lanuola has helped. Still, what will happen if he ever finds out Sabrina's been lying this whole time?

The family retires back to the rental house early since they have to get back home in the early morning. The kids talk about all the fun they had, while Sigrid and Robin bond over how good of a team they were on this trip. In the evening, Sigrid and Sabrina talk about what happens next.

Day 2, the family attended the Festival of Youth and then went on a hike. Alma pretended to be too cool for a lot of this stuff, but she actually had a lot of fun 🤭

As a result of two weeks lying to both father and son (😬), Sabrina suggests an impromptu weekend trip to Mt. Komorebi to get out of the house and blow off some steam. So the family packs up and makes their way there!

Testing out a recap format for the larger legacy posts on Tumblr (please let me know your thoughts!) Starting with the backdrop: Sabrina's been lying to Marquise in order to stall Juno going over his house since they haven't chatted about Lanuola living there. It's left them very stressed.

Curious about anyone else’s experience! I prefer to put updates to the Legacy on Tumblr for more space to write long form, but does anyone have experience doing both? Would anyone want to do quick reads on here instead? I might do a recap and maybe update summaries for new posts

Also I’m terribly awkward about posting a lot but I’m sure my posts probably get lost in people’s feeds since a lot of people post a lot in a day 😅 I would really like to connect and share with more people but I’m quite shy!
