Do you have the Patch-day blues?

Patch-day blues: Game not working. Mods not working. S4S not working. Discord help unavailable. It sucks.

Cry unstoppable under your blanket -> Does not help and gives you a wet blanket and red eyes

Drink a lots and lots of wine -> Does not help and gives you a headache

Go for a long walk -> Does not help but you might feel refreshed. Or exhausted.

Kick your computer really hard -> Does not help and your toe will probably hurt

Read a Sims story on tumblr -> Does probably not help either, but you will have a nice time, and maybe feel inspired. Which is a good thing for when things are back to normal. (Because it will be. Soon.)

The sound of Lena's frustration could be heard throughout the apartment. The newspaper had been violently discarded and now rested on the floor. Gordon found Lena gesticulating at some argument she was having internally. "What's wrong?"

Lena turned toward him and she erupted in a semi-coherent stream of anger and fear about the goings on in Poland. Gordon tried to reason with her. "You've been in contact with your family recently, haven't you? Maybe they got out?"

"I don't know! I hope they did, but I don't know!" Lena cried and balled up her fists. Emotion taking over and leaving her with ought to do but cry and rail at the injustices of the world. When words failed him, Gordon did the only thing that always seemed to work - he gave his wife a hug and let her cry all over his shoulder. When she'd calmed down, he picked up the discarded paper and read what had upset her so.

Colleen's efforts to revitalize the rec center were not going as well as she hoped.

The summer of '93 saw Heather's BFF, Adrian, move away. Heather tried to play with her brothers and their friends, but it just wasn't the same and she usually ended up playing by herself.

"I can't keep doing this, Colleen. This sneaking around. It's too much."

"What are you saying? I thought you loved me!? What about the baby?"

"It's over, Colleen. I'm done. I can't do this. I don't want to be a father. I have my whole life to think about. I'm leaving for college soon. My father was right. You should've told me no."

"What?! You said you loved me!"

"I guess not enough. Bye, Colleen."

In Memoriam of Norman Everett Gosnoll 1933 - 1998

Norman Gosnoll was the third son born to Gordon Gosnoll, but the first child of Gordon and Lena Gosnoll. Norman was a decorated soldier from his service in Korea. After his honorable discharge from the Army, Norman enrolled in university and earned a degree with honors in Psychology, and met his wife of 37 years, Lillian Marie Harwood, while she was studying to be a nurse. They welcomed three daughters; Bette, Colleen, and Debra. In addition to his wife and daughters, he leaves behind 4 grandchildren.

The tragic and sudden passing of Norman has left a hole in the family, and the family is asking that in place of flowers, donations to the charity of your choice be made in Norman's name. He was always advocating for the betterment of things while staying true to his patriotic nature. Any information about his untimely death can be forwarded to The Company.

In Memoriam of Francis Edward Gosnoll 1925 - 1997

Francis "Frank" Gosnoll was the second son born to Gordon Gosnoll and Evie Delgato. He had a twin brother, Everett, who he was quite close to until Everett's untimely death at the age of 8. Frank's childhood was shaped by the loss of his twin brother, but also by that of his stepmother, Lena. Lena doted upon him from the moment that she and Gordon became a couple. Frank learned responsibility and duty from his parents and joined the fight against Germany in WWII. Surviving the war, he came home and immediately joined the Del Sol Valley police department, where he remained until his retirement. His career spanned decades and he was a decorated detective within the force. His methods helped shape the department into what it is today.

Frank met his wife, Jacklyn, while on duty and he often said that it was the luckiest day of his life. He and Jacklyn lived in Del Sol Valley their entire marriage but often vacationed in New Orleans, which became their home away from home. Frank could often be found with a mug of hot chicory coffee and a fresh beignet while reading the paper.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Lena Gosnoll; his twin brother, Everett; his younger brother; Pvt. Thomas Gosnoll; and his wife, Jacklyn. He is survived by his brother, Norman Gosnoll, and numerous nieces, grandnieces, and grandnephews.

"I am never having sex again." This was the thought running through Colleen's head as she threw up for the third morning straight. She readied for work and then sat on the couch to collect herself.

"What's wrong, Coll?" Ken emerged from his bedroom, dressed to tackle the day, and was surprised to find Colleen sitting there morosely.

"I don't know how to tell you. I don't know how to handle it myself and I'm the one to blame. I've screwed it all up again!" She cried into her hands. Ken walked over and knelt before her. Taking her hands and trying to comfort her. He moved to the couch and pulled her onto his lap.

"You know, sometimes all you need is someone to hold you to make the world seem less horrible." She smiled at him. Ken was always there for her. He was exactly what you'd want in a life partner, ya know, if he liked women. Colleen moved off his lap. What she needed to say required sitting like an adult.

"Do you remember that guy from my trip? I told you that we slept together and I was glad to have been able to have a fling and let loose? Well, I'm pregnant."

Ken had kind of suspected she was, her boobs were bigger than usual. Ken ran his hand through his hair and asked, "So what? We'll deal. You're striving for that promotion and I have a wonderful feeling about today's interview. We'll make it work."

Frustrated, Collen stood and wrapped her arms around herself. She tried to hug herself to feel better or at least make the nausea less bothersome. Ken stood and placed his hand on the small of her back while taking her other hand. They were so warm and soft. His hands were like an instant balm to her soul. Ken always calmed her. Always knew what to say and when to say it. He was such a steadying force and she needed him so much. "It will be ok. Heather would love to have a sibling... I think. We can look at buying a bigger place. We don't have to be married to cosign a loan. There is no one I'd rather spend my time with than you and Heather. I'm not going to marry and I'm not going to have children. You and that little girl are my family. No, we're not married and we're never going to be an item, sorry - you're just not my type, but what we have is better than all that. We support and champion each other to do better and to be better. We will figure this out. We always do." Colleen looked him in the eye and knew that he was right. She was never going to find a better man than Ken and she was grateful that she had him in her life to help her along the way.

"I have to tell my family."

"I'll be there when you do."

Mid-morning sun streaked over the skyline of Sim Angeles with the hustle and bustle of the valley echoing off the buildings. It was madness, but Frank and Jacklyn were man and wife now. It had taken all of 30 minutes to plan their wedding.

Gordon and Lena came down and acted as witnesses to the happy couple and Jacklyn gushed at how nice it would be to have parental figures in her life again. His parents had insisted on hiring a photographer, but then they couldn't keep a straight face for any of the pictures. If our marriage is half as good as my parents, then we're going to be alright Frank thought as he posed for yet another photo.

By late afternoon, the couple found themselves standing in front of the house Frank had bought Jacklyn. He swung her up and made a big show of carrying her over the threshold.

**also can we talk about Colleen's mini-me? Heather definitely takes after her mom but she's got Terrell's eyes.

The rec center was 10 years old now, and the outside of it was still in good condition. Welcoming the residents of Port Promise along with the rest of Tinefell Bay to enjoy activities of all sorts, but inside told a different story. The building's maintenance was not all it was cracked up to be and the interior hadn't aged as gracefully as the exterior. Colleen knew what her next project was going to be.

A small fire sent Lillian into labor a tad early. Welcome to the clan, Colleen Grace Gosnoll! Would it have killed Norman to clean up?
