Lazlo Curious' Certified Simp

In light of the recent re-release of The Sims 2 and a flood of new players lurking around the community, I'd like to take a moment to remind about my CC Finds blog which you can find right here.

Majority of the custom content in my game you can also find there. Feel free to lurk around there, though I cannot guarantee everything works properly in the Legacy Collection.

I'm also a WCIF-friendly Simblr and have a tag with answered asks over here, in case there's a piece of cc I might've not shared on the CC Finds blog.

Anyway, have fun with the game~

Might take a small break before the next round of Tellermans. For one it's holiday time and I will be a bit too busy to play/edit the pics. Another thing is I'm also on a short leave off work due to back pains and I just want to relax for a few days.

So apologies and I will see you all soon with more Uberhood o/

Aldric managed to finish his novel by the Sunday evening. Of course, with his creativity it sold very well on the first try. If his company would allow it, he'd happily write a series of novels based on the games they've been developing to advertise it better.

He couldn't help sharing his success with Arin, too. After he found out his boyfriend comes from the wealthy founding family, he felt somewhat inadequate next to him and wanted to prove his worth.

Almeric and Beatrice spent the rest of the Sunday chilling. Seeing how much her husband was getting into cooking, Bea didn't want to stay behind and worked on further improving her culinary knowledge.

The week finally ended on a peaceful note, but not before an emergency diaper change.

Next time - the Tellermans in Strangetown.

Antonio had the privilege of showing up whenever he wanted, since they were literal next door neighbours. He couldn't pass the opportunity to finally meet his first grandson.

After seeing little Marco, he could now understand what Brandi felt when she got to hold Dustin's twins for the first time. He couldn't be more proud and happy about living so close to Beatrice and being able to see the boy whenever he wanted.

He couldn't help asking if the two are planning to have any more children in the future and Beatrice - with absolutely no shame - reassured her father she definitely wants more and soon. Luckily for Almeric, he was completely occupied with the cookbook.

They might be the horniest couple in Veronaville at the moment, but they can also be very wholesome. Especially on the weekend morning, when Almeric doesn't have to rush to work.

He's been getting interested in cooking, especially local cuisine. Although he's not particularly skilled, he enjoyed learning the recipes from Antonio's cookbook.

He still had a lot to learn, but Beatrice didn't want to hurt his feelings and ruin his fun about cooking. She just asked him to prepare smaller portions, so they don't have their fridge stuffed with too many leftovers.

Aldric was feeling pretty good now that Arin agreed to be his boyfriend. It made him feel inspired to read about lifelong happiness and keep that great mood for longer.

Beatrice tried to focus on studying more cooking recipes, but kept getting distracted by her husband throwing it back right in front of her. He knew exactly what he was doing.

She just couldn't NOT woohoo this man after seeing his moves.

Beatrice and Almeric were possibly the most passionate couple in Veronaville. Maybe even more than the Summerdreams known for their affection. They just couldn't keep their hands off of each other whenever they were around.

Sometimes Bea had to shoo her husband away to work on her art in peace, otherwise she wouldn't be able to focus. That's when he'd get completely distracted by his son - the cutest boy in town.

Beatrice enjoyed not having any career commitment, cause it allowed her to take care of Marco in peace. She had mad respect for parents managing to balance raising kids in a healthy way and having a full-time job.

Of course, Almeric helped however he could. He wasn't very experienced with small children at all, but still tried his best. He knew sooner or later they will end up having more and wanted to be prepared better for that.

The two returned to Aldric's place and ended up having their first woohoo together - and first overall for Arin - on the uncomfortably small bed. It had some true dorm room vibes.

It was a pleasant experience for both of them, but Arin felt especially good about his body with all the love and care Aldric was giving him. He was really happy to have him as his boyfriend.

After Arin left for the campus, Aldric experienced a wave of post-woohoo clarity and felt inspired to write a novel. He thought it would be fun to write a fantasy title based on the game he was working on.

Aldric didn't want to be around Almeric when the guy he likes was around, so he invited Arin out for some local karaoke. He knew Arin was still not very confident about his voice changing after the transition and he wanted to help him get more comfortable with it in a fun way.

They both ended up having a blast and Aldric finally had the courage to ask Arin to go steady. He didn't have to ask twice, since Arin already couldn't get the cute dorky tutor out of his head.

Arin reassured Aldric he couldn't care less about any embarrassing stories. He grew up with too many older siblings to not know Almeric is just messing around to boost his own ego.

Beatrice also scolded her husband for bullying his brother. To her the bond between twins was sacred and even if she picked on Benny a little bit in the past, she wouldn't try to embarrass him in front of Hal and warned Almeric she will not tolerate them acting like children in her house.

Almeric returned home with a promotion and determination to drop this horrible work suit in favour of something nicer. He didn't want to be known in the Veronaville politics as a guy dressing as his own grandpa.

He joined the rest at the table and immediately started bullying his lil bro by bringing up embarrassing stuff from his past. Like how Aldric refused to participate in PE ever again after getting hit in the face with a baseball. Luckily, Arin couldn't care less about stuff like that and just politely nodded.

Arin showed up with an unexpected visit shortly before Aldric's return from work. He was visiting his sisters during a short break before finals and thought he might pop up for a bit while he was in town.

Aldric was excited about the surprise when he got back home. Though he wished he'd knew sooner about the visit. Arin always looked so effortlessly good and Aldric couldn't help feeling like an unprepared mess. Even if Arin reassured him he looks fine.

Beatrice asked Arin to join them for dinner. It's been a while since they've seen each other and she was curious to know him better now that he was finally open about being who he is. He was so much more chatty and confident than she remembered.

With Almeric in town hall, Beatrice had to take care of the baby alone and couldn't stay in bed too long. Thankfully, Marco was a very calm boy and easily fell asleep after getting his bottle.

Bea had to call her entire family and let everyone know about her son's birth. She asked them not to rush with a visit, though. Having so many relatives come over could be overwhelming for such a small baby.

With more free time than she expected, she enjoyed a peaceful breakfast alone and planned to work more on her crafts during the day. The thought of just being a self-employed artist was really blooming in her mind.

Beatrice enjoyed her relaxing bath after Marco's delivery and was already wondering about names for their next children. Of course, she wasn't going to compete with cousin Romeo and his wife...

Almeric didn't think about expanding the family further just yet. He was a little overwhelmed with being a dad for the first time, but tried his best and loved his little boy from the moment he saw him.

Aldric didn't think he will care much about his brother becoming a dad, but he had to admit having a cute little nephew was a nice feeling. Maybe one day he could get little Marco into video games.

This time Beatrice's screams managed to wake Almeric up, though arguably they could bring dead man back to life. He really wanted to help his wife with the delivery, but couldn't see jack without his glasses after getting up so quick.

Thankfully, the baby was born without problems and the couple welcomed their firstborn son - Marco. Beatrice kinda hoped for twins, since both of them had the gene. But even the nightmare-ish birthing experience couldn't stop her from trying again in the future.

Antonio didn't realize how much the twins liked him - both of them. When they found out he was over, they both rushed to greet him. His friendly fatherly aura was making them feel very comfortable around him and he had to admit it was a nice feeling.

Once her dad left to rest with Brandi, Bea enjoyed the rest of her afternoon arranging flowers. She managed to finally master this skill and couldn't wait to start working on some really unconventional bouquets.

Almeric found the textbook his brother finished the other day and got curious about it himself. He didn't exactly feel the need to save his relationship, but being able to prevent any future problems would be always useful.
