Welcome to the Valley
Amanda was befuddled, who made these crossword puzzles anyways. Why did they have to be so hard? It wasn’t easy on her, being a stay at home mom, you know. Especially with only one kid.
Amanda believed the men should work while the woman take care of the kids. Thats how it was back in the day and that’s how it should stay. Of course Amanda only wanted one kid. They just consumed too much energy, time, and money.
Amanda and Calvin’s baby, Daisy, was adorable of course.
And that sight would scare any baby. That’s Calvin Cole, a casanova in training. The only woman he’s been able to woo is his wife but he is planning on changing that.
Here’s the other family in Sunny Valley. Meet Sara and Allen Brooks. As soon as they arrived at their new house they decided to start making babies. And the short lullaby after the woohoo is a sure sign of sucess. With another babay on the way, Allen had to work of course.
So Allen got a job as an Emergency Medical Technician. It’s just wonderful when your Fortune sim wants to be Chief of Staff (which requires 10 Cleaning) and you just gave that sim 1 point of Neatness in CAS. But besides that the Brooks’ lives were moving along smoothly.
That was great, I loved it. Brings me back to the simple beginnings of my legacy where they were just trying to get by with their kids and the pregnancies were awful. But really, I think your families are adorable. It’s great to hear another update from you!

Hey, you’re updating again! Welcome back. Wow, and twins–congratulations! An interesting contrast with the ‘normal’ family and the family with a ‘cassanova wannabe’.

A tour of the first Westfield lot is up! (If you haven’t read the post before that, it’s the custom neighborhood I’m attempting to build…)

I hope you’ll be back, I miss Sim Soaps! A Thatcher update is up at my site. They’re back, finally. I just couldn’t leave them. Pop over and read if you want.

A Thatcher update has arrived, the first with the new SEASONS ep! (YAAAYYY!!!) Claire makes a desperate decision and fall sets the stage for a blooming relationship. You haven’t posted in awhile, you have me worried!

I have a Thatcher update up. Devon deals with jealousy over her sister, the pressure to recieve scholarships in time for college, and a new relationship suddenly thrust at her.

Where are you? I hope Sim Soaps isn’t dead! Or you, for that matter! Excuse the slight spam, but I have a semi-announcement: Simply Sims is turning in a whole new direction while the Thatchers are put on the backburner. A new family. A new story. A new struggle. I have focused my attention on a more story-oriented idea, with higher-quality pictures and more conflict. So hurry over to www.simplysims.blogspot.com to check out Chapter 1: The Safe House!

I feel like I am just running a bill board here at your site. I am just updating you that Chapter Two: Border Relations is posted at my site. If you would like me to stop posting when I have an update, just let me know. Thanks!

Post a word or two if you’re alive! We all miss your stories! Chapter 3: In the Trench, is up at my site. Nikki tries to quiet Catherine’s questions while her mother’s nerves are on edge.

Couple things: Chapter 4: No Man’s Land is up at my site. A trip out leads to conflict between Nikki and her mother. Also, I am cleaning out my links on my site and need to know if you are still updating this site. Let me know!
