Hey guys!! Today is a Holiday in the states so I thought in between my cooking I would give you all an extra long update! Viktor has finished his time machine and decides to give it a whirl and travels to the future. I got updates on what he was doing (sadly you can't travel with them.. that would be awesome!) Everybody gather!! Virgil is having a birthday. Here he is as an adult and what a surprise he's aged into this very popular hair. No time for a makeover just yet. No sooner had the candles been blown out and Margo started to sparkle and float. Me: Grimmy you are so mean, couldn't you have waited just a little bit.. the family just had a birthday! I kid you not in response to my plea ol' Grimmy just laughed Here is Virgil after his make over. The next day Virgil invited his long time girlfriend Fanny to a very secluded beach and proposed to her. umm... yeah she is wearing a hospital gown Thank you EA random townie outfit generator. SHE SAID YES!! Attack hug RAWR! They decided beings they were already in a beautiful location to have a private wedding right there. Awww... the next generation leaders *warm feeling inside* Here is Fanny after a little make over. A few days later it's Vincent's birthday. Here he is as young adult. And he has to be the only sim so far I have not needed to give a make over to He soon hops on the net to look for a place to live and moves out. Fanny is not feeling well. Viktor took a trip to the past. Vicky's Birthday! Oh dear, it looks like she is still having some eye problems. here she is after a make over and the doctor suggested glasses to help with the eyes. A couple days later Fanny's belly popped! Fanny called her mom over to announce she was going to have a fuzzy teddy bear. Her mom was excited to soon be a grandmother. Okay that is all for now. I gotta get back to cooking ;D

Oh noes! I have missed a lot! I must catch up with all the Langdon updates I have missed! Curse you, university work. Lol at your comment about Viktor growing into an adult... He's so awesome and handsome the game decides not to mess with perfection and he grows up looking. exactly the same! Yay game for getting it right.. once! It's such a shame that the rest of the time the game gets it WRONG and transitions handsome boys into girly hair...sigh. I love Myrtle! She is so pretty. Better watch her with all that baby on the brain though! I also love how Viktor decided to blow up the flower pot in the front garden...don't worry Viktor, the house doesn't need to look pretty if it means you can get scrap LOL. (Although I am surprised that the scrap pile looks mostly metal when I'd presume a flower pot is wooden) I have just noticed that I've already commented on those updates I've just commented on (does that make sense? I fear it doesn't). Oh well, here, have extra comments hehe. OK SO NOW I will read and comment on the updates I know I've missed...silly Kate... Valarie's rock look is awesome...hope that guy she met is a good influence on her. Although she'll probably rebel since she's rolled the LTW to become Empress of Evil! Oh my.. Vicky has grown up, um.. special! AWWWWW! Her little face in that picture does nothing but make me giggle...I think that's so cute. Her eye movement is strange, but cute. OMG time machine! *grabby hands* I have never seen that before! Does that come with the new EP or is it something Simmies can build with their piles of scrap? RIP Margo Especially after Virgil's birthday too! (He has become quite the hunk though). Fanny is super sweet looking! I just want to pinch her cheeks lol. Her name makes me think of classic novels too hehe. Fanny called her mom over to announce she was going to have a fuzzy teddy bear. Aw so cute! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving Diz

I did have a lovely Thankgiving. I went to a friend's house... fitting enough it is a friend i met over the internet on another sims 2 site nearly 6 years ago! And about 2-3 years ago she moved back to the states, to Washington to be exact and only a few hours away from me. Although we never met and then s year and half ago she moved from there to the same city as me and we have been great friends since then... I even got her a job where I work when she moved here. It was awesome to spend time with friends and the two dishes I made were big hits and there were pretty much NO left overs The last two years when i would cook the same dishes on the holiday for my boyfriend and his friends they wouldn't eat it and he didn't either so it was making feel bad about my cooking, but not the same this year Thanks for reading! and recommenting on what you had already read...kekeke. The time machine was added in with Ambitions and if you get the inventor's work bench it's the last thing you will learn to make. Though I have read about people going into the consignment shop and finding one for sell there too. I like Fanny too, I think she's so cute. She comes from a huge Irish family that moved to the town when she was a baby (her maiden name was O'Brian) and she has a bunch of brothers and sisters. >.> Yeah i make up back ground stories in my head for my town Keeps it exciting for me. This is skipping a head a bit, but when i was last playing the family I noticed that Valarie is still with the same guy. They are only going steady though, but have had a kid. This is one of my pet peeves of the game. I don't mind at all that the game will have people not married have kids, it makes it more realistic. What bugs me is it goes sooo slow with non active sim relationships. They have been going steady for ages... YEARS in game terms enough to have a kid but the relationship never progressed. Or like another distant relative in the beginning of the legacy he too got hooked up with a girlfriend while he was an active sim and once he was moved out to be just a townie (cause he was not the heir) he and his girl didn't even progress to getting engaged till they were already elders! What's the deal EA?! Alright I will stop my ranting.

So sorry i thought I had updated more recently. Valarie often has to be shooed out of the bathroom because she spends so much time in there brushing her teeth multiple times and checking the sick. The other part of her day is spent sneaking around and scaring people. Birthday time... here is Velma first She keeps getting odd outfits. And after a bit of a makeover. Then it's Valarie's turn And she aged into... a wedding dress o.O and her make over. It also happened to be little Vicky's birthday Oh good the glasses are helping her eye sight. and her make over oh what the heck.. here is the next update as well Wasn't too long after the birthdays Fanny went into labor! Meet Flora Langdon, the name turned out fitting as was born loving the outdoors. Velma went online to look for a house, she found a cute one near the beach and her and Valarie moved out that night. Now that Myrtle has full filled her LTW and raised her five children to be teens she decides to take a job to bring in some extra money. Loving kids so much she takes a job at the local school. Viktor has been time traveling nearly every day. Looks like this time he had a narrow escape... as he jumped back into the present a volley of arrows followed him. Myrtle wanted a new lamp for the desk and instead of selling the one they had for credit Viktor things "why not blow it up!" of course he also ended up blowing up the desk, the chair and the computer and if Myrtle had not thought to buy no house fire extra I am sure the whole room would have gone up in flames. One of the items Viktor has made is a drill. and he put it to work and started drilling for gems and other neat things in the back yard. Late one night (3am to be exact) when just about all the family was asleep there was music playing. Viktor got up to see what it was and found that some person decided to have an impromptu concert in their front yard o.O He went out to shoo them all, but something was odd and he felt... hunted! I had never seen that before and upon closer inspection I found that one of the people there was a vampire! And they were not happy with him for ending the concert. Soon it's Flora's birthday. awww.. she is pretty cute if you ask me. Virgil i think you should start with something a little easier to teach her to talk. Okay that is all for now.

Okay since you asked so nicely Also looking at the pictures this update some how is all about Viktor o.O Grandpa Viktor is lending a hand teaching life lessons to the new baby. That is when he takes time out from blowing up things around the neighborhood. These were the next door neighbors and when they came out to yell at him for blowing their things up he found that they were vampires! He also ran into the first paparazzi!! But at the time he was not much of a celebrity so he was ignored. On his latest adventure through time he had a little difficulty getting back out of the time stream. It's Viktor's birthday!! Oh my.. this look will just not do! Here he is after a little make over. Viktor wanted to collect some more scrap so he headed to the junk yard and found... sparkling junk piles? o.O Eep! Viktor= My what glowing eyes you have. Viktor= My what .. *big gulp* .. sharp teeth you have. Hastily making his way out to the junk yard and away from the vampire Viktor collected some scrap. Of course he then got bored and though it would liven things up to blow up one of the piles. He however did not count on the ENTIRE junk yard going up in a roaring puff of flame and smoke O.O and he did not stand far enough away. Maybe now he will have leaned his lesson to NOT BLOW THINGS UP!! *wags finger at Viktor* That's it for now

HAHA @ Victor blowing this up. Some "boys" never grow up LAFFFS. He is a pretty good looking elder.
Haven't seen Vamps with glowing green eyes before...weird! I would run to LOL

problem is there is nowhere to run to :/ Due to craptastic EA story progression it turns more than half the town into vampires. And because asking to be turned is a positive friend interaction more are turned that way too. I am experimenting with some modified story progression controllers that are designed to stop making so many gosh darn vampires and random celebrities.

GAH! *shakes fist* I haven't noticed a problem with Vamps (yet!) but have with the celebs! Its SO annoying!!! I know there is a thing from Hysterical Proxy on mod for the celebs. But let me know if yours works, will more than likley swap it!

twallan's master controller is supposed to be pretty good. At the moment I am trying the Awesome Mod, but just started having trouble with aging up, but this might also be due to the patch before the latest. (haven't played yet to update to the latest latest.) I had the mod the first time i had the mod installed was also the first time playing since updating and that's when the aging up problem started. I took out the mod and still had the same problem happen so not sure which is the cause. It was actually a HUGE problem in my game and resulted in me totally deleting a rather important sim and replacing them and forcing relationships and what not. I didn't have the game playing long enough to see if there was a big reduction on the vamp and celeb populations yet, so as soon as I get time to play again i will get back to you on that. I might switch to try out the twallan mod, because if I have any problems with that he's on MTS and would be easier to ask questions there as apposed to trying to get help on MATY.. as we all know how it is asking anything from that site. Although i was desperate for help with the aging up issue and asked at MTS.. even explained that I took out the hack 9which is my only one) and also tried with not custom content in my game and still the same thing happened and i got some idiot not bothering to read my full description telling me to ask at MATY *rolls eyes* But i have read on MTS that quite a few people.. people that have never had cc or mods in their games are having issues with aging up, so that's why i am thinking it might be because of the patch. Again will find out after i am able to play again. Most like after the holiday... got so much going on right now. Good thing i have nearly 30 updates ready and waiting

Hallo to anyone still out there. I have an update for you. It's Flora's Birthday!! Here she is as a kid and after a bit of a make over because big surprised she grew up into a certain hair that shall remain nameless. She gained the shy trait and the poor dear rather eat her cake alone in the living room rather than be around all the people in the other room. It also happened to be Myrtle's birthday. Here she is after her elder makeover. Virgil is often at the computer working on a book of some sort. And later than night Fanny finds out she is with child again! And as all pregnant women should do she goes to the local dive bar for a drink the next night o.O Fanny = Bar keep! I'd like a drink please... umm, in a glass you didn't clean with your bare hand she ordered this lovely flaming thing called the Mistake.* There also happened to be a low level star there that night and after hours of chatting she finally impressed the star and gained one star herself. A few nights later Fanny goes into labor! Okay that's it until next time *The Langdon family does not condone drinking alcohol while pregnant, drinks in the sims 3 are "Juice" and not alcohol.

I am "still out there" LAFFFS Myrtle makes a pretty elder and Flora is a cutie. She looks a bit like Myrtle. The question was, was it a mistake? LAFFS I loved that, made me laugh! Looking forward to seeing the new baby.

Glad you are! Everyone else has been eaten by that life monster. I forget what effects it gave Fanny when she drank the mistake... i think it gave her daredevil for a while, but can't be sure. I am glad you found my disclaimer funny... I meant it half as a joke

Hm, major Langdon catch-up needed for me! Awww Flora is lovely Flora is also such a pretty name. Viktor seems to have an obsession with blowing things up! Not that it's a bad thing...well, I guess it is if he manages to blow everything up in the household I also didn't know the paparazzi roamed the streets in suits/formalwear LOL I wonder what that hair was??! *looks at a certain awkward hair with bangs/a fringe* LOL excellent! I am quite amused by the fact Fanny had a drink called 'The Mistake'. I can't wait to let my Simmies try that when I get the new EP! Christmas isn't too far away now!!

Sorry I meant to update long before now, but things have been a bit busy with the Holidays and all so to make up for it I am combining the next two updates into one When we last left the family Fanny had just gone into labor. Virgil was not too worried about the well being of his wife and their second born child as he soon went back to sleep o.O After hours of labor Fanny brought little Ferne Langdon into the world The next day.. well rather later that day as Ferne was born in the wee hours of the morning.. it was Fanny's birthday! Here she is after her adult make over. It also happened to be Vicky's brithday. Here she is after her young adult make over. WHOA! That is some toxic laundry you got there Viktor O.O Fanny is trying to become a world famous director or something like that so she has to be seen out in public in all the right places. Virgil decided to take her out to a fancy new club one night and they had lots of fun and were even photographed by some other people there. Few days later it's Flora's birthday. Here she is after a little teen make over. It also turned out to be Ferne's birthday. Here she is as a tot and i see she has picked up some recessive genes. Fanny was out one evening in the park and some paparazzi found her and photoed her chatting up people. Virgil has gotten a star or two of stardom just from being around Fanny so he also gets lots of invites to parties around town, but probably none as awkward as when June Fever invited him over. (if you don't remember June was one of the girls he went out with in high school.. and then never called again once he met Fanny.) Little Ferne almost didn't learn all her young life lessons as she was very fussy about being put on the potty, but finally she was house broken... I mean potty trained. Viktor tried to upgrade the trash compactor, but he only managed to break it. Happy Happy Birthday Virgil! I am not sure if Virgil's pained face is because he grew up into that hair or because Viktor has impaled him with a party horn. Needless to say he got a make over, but look exactly like he did as a young adult. Fanny got a mission from her agent to go befriend another celeb in town. When she got there is was dinner time, and the celeb was very hungry, or and did i mention she was a VAMPIRE!! Fanny make a quick get a way back home. This town is getting very dangerous to live in! Few nights later it was Ferne's birthday. and after her kiddo make over. Okay that is all for now I will try to remember to not take too long to update next time.

*thread pokes back* New paparazzi in town... this one is a vamp! I think the members of the family will be saying "no comment" more often now when stopped by the paparazzi. Some how the family has collected 3 or 4 maids.. i donno why so many come. Anyway this one came in and right away gets food and a drink from the fridge and sat down to eat! Fanny had to let her go. Viktor praised Virgil on his latest book being a best seller. Check out this awesome painting that Virgil did. Well I think it's pretty awesome anyways. And I forget now why, but this maid also did something bad, or just didn't work (it's been a long time since playing this and my notes don't say) So he was let go as well. It's Ferne's birthday!!! And she grew up all.... o.O stretchy? I loved Fanny's melodramatic pose at seeing how stretchy her daughter and grown to be. Here she is after her teen make over. This picture just amused me. Virgil chocking on cake... this family eats so much cake with all the birthdays they practically live off cake..lol The house is getting pretty old and falling apart now. Someone put a plate in the dishwasher and it broke. So Myrtle washed her plate int he sink and the sink broke. Fanny went out for a drink and got her first discount as a celebrity. And to close this update.. Virgil has completed his LTW!!! YAY!
