Okay, so the Strand save? Borked. So I am testing to see if I could just save the lot and the families (like maybe four total) associated with The Strands. A bit more play is required before I can determine it ~*~Officially Fixed~*~ but it’s looking promising so far! Maybe! AHH~!  And if I managed to save even just a bit of this family I am going to happy-cry FOR REAL.  Still going to go forwards with the idea of fast-forwarding Bryn and Syd to college but I wanted to do a like, montage of what their teen years were like.  Very, very tentative hope that I saved them! I don’t think I’ll do a legacy for them, maybe some short story snippets? I have ~*~ideas~*~.

Took the red eye back to Brindleton Bay, where of course it was rainy and chilly.

And the last of the Strand pics, for now.  This sucks so much, I really adored this family and had a lot of fun with the girls especially. Bryn was clearly going down a more chaotic path. I think when I restart I’ll probably do a time skip of some sort to get into a new mindset.

Grim’s out here collecting chicken souls, but I got Arls a cute cow named Missy Tulips!

I absolutely love the group projects the schools give the kids, and I love even more that everyone in the family can help out

Some quick photographic evidence that both Braith and Llew still exist.

Off to Sulani! (Serious props to xldkx for the plane stuff! I use the deco sims all over the place when I need to make a place look busy but don’t feel like herding a bunch of sims just for a couple of pictures.)

This save file seems to be corrupted. I’m keeping a copy so I can return at some point, but for the time being, I’m gonna take a step back from it. Especially with the new update and expansion coming out.  These are some of the last shots I got of the Strand family. Bryn got to be a teen, Arls and Llew got to become adults, and Braith is still an old good girl (she was like a day or two from dying).  Gonna give myself some time to see if the Strands are truly not able to be saved, but might move on to another legacy type.
