Magic is in the air - playing in Nova Sedona

I'm enjoying Apartment Life so much that I'm surprised. I didn't expected that. First, I love the apartments more than I thought even if I have to exit the lot, load the hood and re-enter the lot to play another family (that could be more simple, don't you think?). I also spent 2 days trying to fix an apartment building that I downloaded because for some reason, the lot didn't liked the second floor and didn't zoned the second floor as part of the apartment in the first floor. But after several trials, I fixed. I also have a bugged apartment building that amuse me: originally it was a community lot with a diner in the first floor and 2 apartments upstairs fully decorated. I fixed some things, rezoned and moved 2 families. For some weird reason the diner in the first floor is still working as in a community lot so now I have the clerks cleaning my apartment for free and I can have a dinner there like in a comm lot.
But what I simply adore is the magic! I didn't expected to like that so much!

So, first things first. The reason why I installed AL: Thomas and George (from WhisperDoll).



Nova Sedona is a strange hood with strange houses and strange beautiful people.





This is Edward. The original one. <3
He just moved to an apartment with his dog.

Amazingly, Thomas and George seems to be adapting themselves very well.
They moved to a 2 story old restored house with 4 apartments. The place is kind of old, decayed and gothic but oh, well... There is a microphone in the common area and Thomas decided to try...



He is too cute.<3

And this is my new love, Kellan. <3



I made him to post at the pixel-trade founders in august and I instantly felt in love with him. He is a good warlock because I wanted to try the witchcraft features of this expansion.





Thomas likes him.



Maybe they become good friends.

Since I'm using the awesome mods to avoid exaggerated NPC spammage I just have one good warlock and one evil witch but now I wish I had more. I gave them some makeovers.





I also tried to have a room mate in one of the apartments and got some "social sims" as neighbors in another one. For some strange reason all of them wear these scifi military uniforms.



I suspect that this is a Borg's invasion. Ô_Ô

AL is full of adorable features like this one, so far, my fav one.



Lovely. <3

One of the Ice King's son married a good witch and now I have this strange couple, good and evil living together.







Most lovely pregnant sim ever. <3





I love the new idle animations. :D

Ice, the Ice King's son is really evil. Really really evil.



He was throwing balls at Hiro, who appeared with the welcome wagon.



He is also adorable, I mean, evil with his son.

They hired a butler because both of them wanted to have a child and both of them have serious jobs so I was delightfully presented with this:



My game knows me so well. LOL

And since I'm talking about the Ice King (whose original name is Ebony), a gratuitous picture of him:



He is now a grandfather. <3





I'm going to post the pictures of the witches hut in the annex area. I'm really happy with their house, specially with their magic scriptoriums.

And to finish this post another pic of my fav interaction, this time the original Shakti and Teizo, who are also living in an apartment now:



Stay tuned for more...

Graduation Party

I never took graduation pictures before but I was inspired by this thread. I'm playing Nova Sedona which is basically my test hood so some of the sims I wanted to play were in UNI and I had to play them so they could conclude the college.

This is the original Ice King, his wife Snow and one of his kids, Ivory. The kid is graduating, as his older brother, Ice.





Snow spend all the time jumping rope (one of the reason why I wanted to install AL):



Ivory looks too cute in his special outfit for the occasion (we call "beca" in portuguese, I don't know the name in english):



His brother was more serious cause he is a serious, bad mooded and a nasty sim (no nice points):



Ice doesn't look so evil in this pic:



Ivory's boyfriend arrived with style:



.. and runned to kiss him (another reason why I wanted AL):



... and Ice got his first kiss from Ai-li:



They are going to marry. ^_^

There were some another friends graduating too, two siblings, Chao (the guy) and Ai-li (the girl, the name sounds like "Eileen"). The parents, Jun and Haneol are married for years and years, they have one more kid who still is a child. Haneol have elf ears, he was modeled after a BJD. They are both tanned because they were travelling in vacations.



I discovered that I love to have ceiling. ^_^





The party was great, everybody, including me, had fun.

Kato's test - the devil made me do it.

I had to test Kato. Aren't you curious to know if Tarn is his true love? Maybe is the Ice King. Maybe is Smelly Adam.
Aren't you curious?
I was.

I teleported The Ice King, Kazui (because I wanted to know what Kazui is thinking too), Tarn, Smelly Adam and Stephan was already at Kato's house, visiting.  I turned the jealousy off just to be sure that a catastrophe would not happen. First I asked Kato to "scope room". Kato thinks that Tarn is the hottest cookie in the jar.



And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.

Then I asked Tarn to scope room. Tarn thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie.



And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.

Then I asked the Ice King's opinion. He thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie...



... and that Smelly Adam stinks.

Stephan thinks that Kazui is the hottest cookie. I even did the test again teleporting Alice to compare both and for some unexplained reason that only Stephan can explain, he thinks that Kazui is hot and Alice is not.



Smelly Adam thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie...



And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.



Poor Smelly Adam.
But don't feel sorry for him. He was all happy, pleased to talk to Kato and confide to him the biggest secret of his life!



He hates Tarn.
Kato was deeply amused.

I dismissed everybody but a sim who Kato is wanting badly to flirt. He has been pestering me with wants related to Stephan, he wants that Stephan becomes his best friend, he wants to flirt him, he wants, he wants, he wants.



I can't really deny anything to Kato, specially now that I must think about what to do with the Dragons, since Stephan seems to be more interested in Kazui than in Alice. I also need to think about the Ice King, because he loves Kazui but I think he is more crazy about Kato.



Gratuitous screenshot  of the Ice King in the hot tube (that he gave to Kato as a present after a date) just because he is gorgious. <3 <3

Also Kato is quite busy right now to have one more lover. He needs to focus on his career as a dancer.



He can't be a cabaret dancer for the rest of his life. I'm dying to see the next clothes in this career. Also I think Kato can help Samantha with that talk about bees and flowers and boys and boys. They are great friends.



The next event captured by our hidden camera didn't happened at Kato's place but at Dr. Frankenstein's place but I thought it would fit the subject of this thread. Somehow Smelly Adam and Tarn were in the welcome wagon at the new Dr. Frankenstein's house (the guy needed one, he was living in a parking lot with a fridge, a bed, a shower and a telescope. Naomi loves him, they can marry and have kids, he needed a house).



You saw this coming, didn't you?



Tarn won. He is in better shape. Smelly Adam was mumbling and harassing the others because of that. He wasn't happy at all.



Poor Smelly Adam, nobody likes him.

Next: Let's go talk to Samantha!

And: my butterflies go to Uni and apparently, Angelo is not mad at Eugene anymore because of Julia.



And: I went to the moroccan club at Sedona with Angelo and Eugene and apparently was "Single Gay Sims Men Nights Out". I was amused. Even the Count Vampire (whatever is his name) was there.



Stay tuned...
