Hi friends! I feel like I need to address it, even if it's really nothing, but for a while I've been watching myself disappearing from here. I don't have much time to post and feel less pleasure doing so. Also, comparing myself isn't challenging as much as it's paralyzing now, so... 🤷🏼

They all have a favorite color, and if you know my characters I'd like to know if you noticed ? ☺️

Post the pic you’ve recently taken of your pet I love seeing all of your pets on the timeline 🥰 Here's Oscar (and a hairy leg bit that's not mine)

Hi everyone ! The feeds are working again, so I just updated it with the latest chapter 😊 Happy Sunday, happy Simming 💚

The conversation ended there. Liam chose to keep quiet rather than get into an argument and make his situation worse. He lay down in bed and fell asleep before Penny had even turned the next page, sedated by the few drinks he’d had.

Caught off guard by the ice-cold tone she used, Liam first tried to explain himself, but that only made things worse. He crossed his arms tightly and said the first thing that came into his mind. It wasn’t the best thing to say, for sure, but even if it had been, he couldn’t have won.

3 a.m. 🌙 When Liam got home, he did not expect Penny to be awake. Nor did he expect the reception she gave him...

As always when they were together, they lost track of time and got lost in endless conversations in which they reimagined the world.

Clearly, he was on the wrong track... she needed something else, and he didn’t know exactly what. Zach was always good at giving advice, and even though he already knew it deep down, Liam realised, thanks to him, that just managing everyday life wasn’t the solution.

Naturally, the conversation soon focused on Penny. Liam shared his concerns with Zach. He knew that becoming a mother wasn’t easy for her, and he was doing his best to take as much responsibility as possible.

They poured themselves a few drinks, exchanged a few jokes, and caught up on the latest news.

That evening, Liam had a special visit. It had been a few months since Zach last visited Nordhaven. After spending every day together, the two best friends now barely saw each other. That evening was quiet. Liam closed earlier and reserved the bar for his friend.

Even bedtime was a struggle for Penny. Ellie didn’t want to be put down. Carried either. Hours before Liam came home felt like an eternity.

Penny couldn’t say the same. The baby’s sweet, toothless smile vanished the moment her father left for work. Penny’s evenings were punctuated by crying, even tantrums at times. She tried her best, but her daughter wasn’t the same with her.

He didn’t mention it anymore for the time being, hoping it would soon pass. Thankfully, Ellie had a smile bright enough to light up the whole room. When he looked at her, he saw Penny’s smile again, the one he used to bring to her face without even trying.

Whenever she was holding Elisabeth, or cooking, Penny was performing her role. She would hold her head high, stand up straight and complete her mission. As soon as she stopped playing her part, her expression changed, her posture too. Liam had already tried to bring up the subject, without success

At home, you could also notice a pattern. Change the sheets, change diapers, fix the leaking sink, feed the baby, vacuum, feed the baby... And watch Penny wander around the house, shoulders bowed.

The days at the bar were starting to all resemble each other. Some customers came in regularly. Liam knew what they were going to order before they even asked. Eliza Pancakes would start with a Salty Lama, followed straight away by a Ridgeport. After that, she’d hang around for a bit... dazed.

Didn't feel like playing in live mode today, so I decided to bring my favorite artist into the game ❤️‍🔥 Have a nice day, friends !

I’ve been tweaking the lighting in my game for a while now, and I’ve only just compared the before and after… 😯 To me, it looks so much better now 🧡 I can't wait to start sharing the screens with this new lighting I wish you all a good Sunday 💐 And a Happy Easter to those who celebrate it ✨

5 subs and we are at 700! 🥹 It would be cool to wake up for that tomorrow! Mostly making sims4 fact videos and sims2 legacy and when the Paralives comes out I’m gonna make special month around that. 💜🫂

Hi friends! If you are interested, I just added a small upadte to the feed 😊 I wish you all a good day/night 🧡

Clearing her head wasn’t her only aim. She also wanted to get rid of the lingering effects of those 9 months spent carrying her child. Realising that Juniper wouldn’t understand, she closed the subject sharply. The two women didn’t say another word and each concentrated on their run after that...

Penny felt more secure in women-only gyms. When a stranger initiated a conversation, she didn’t feel the need to walk away, and they were more likely to relate to each other. Although … Clearly, not all the women shared her perspective on her situation.

She hadn’t realised that her legs were pedalling faster and faster until the pain from her overheated muscles pulled her out of her rambling thoughts. Enough cycling for now, she’d try to burn off the weight she’d put on during her pregnancy on the treadmill.

The aim was simple: to clear her head. Yet, as she pedalled, Penny's mind was far from clear. She kept thinking back to her daughter's angelic smile the moment she'd attempted to leave. She was doing everything she could to be a mom. Not a perfect mom, just a mom. And clearly, that wasn't enough.

"It’s a good thing she’s calm with Nonna. It’s a good thing, and it’ll make things easier for her. It’s a good thing she’s calm...", she kept telling herself as she left Nonna’s house.

The moment she handed Elisabeth to Nonna, the little terror turned into a sweet little angel. She was beaming with a charming smile, miles away from the tears and screams she had been throwing at her mother all day. It shouldn’t have, but it hit Penny right in the heart.

There was a reason why the whole neighbourhood called Giuseppina "Nonna". She had endless patience, and no child could resist her natural warmth. Penny was surprised to hear her daughter described as "calm".

No, turning back was out of the question. She needed to do something for herself. Those two hours would be like breathing again. She knocked on the door, but Giuseppina was already on the other side, aware of their arrival thanks to the baby’s cries.

Penny had been waiting for this moment for weeks. Elisabeth’s crying only made her impatience worse, yet at the same time made her want to turn back… Did she really intend to inflict this to Giuseppina?

Late night in Nordhaven 🛥️🌔

And so Liam’s bar quickly became a Neighborhood Gem. ⭐⭐⭐

If you read my gameplay posts, can you guess who she is ? 👀

I was so eager to play with better autonomy and to let my pixel people live their lives without doing nonsense... I guess it's for another day. 🤦🏼 (Autonomy is my main issue at the moment, so guess how disappointed I am right now)

These two are best friends! 🐕🧡👶🏻

This one's much better ! Ellie learned to sit up ✨

Oops... wrong milestone unlocked ! First diaper blowout 🦨🌫️

Working on those milestones 🎯

Good morning friends ! 👋🏻 I finally updated the feed with the latest updates if you want to read it ☺️ Have a nice day 🧡

He now met lots of people every evening. Girls, among others. He wasn't doing anything wrong, he would never do anything that could harm his family, but his natural charms were hard to switch off. And after all, if it was good for business...

After Thorne left, only a few customers remained. Liam's heart was still racing when Summer ordered a drink. She had seen him take a photo and chat with the celebrity and wondered if they knew each other. He wanted to impress her.

After a few minutes of watching and hesitating, she turned around and walked away. Everyone was having a good time, Liam seemed perfectly happy, and she didn't want to risk ruining the party...

Thorne was charismatic. A real star! He complimented Liam before asking him for a drink.

Liam couldn't believe his luck. Thorne Bailey, in HIS bar. He was already thinking about showing the selfie to Penny and Zach.

Outside, a woman stood there. She was watching through the window as people were having fun, seeing the excitement in the air, the neon lights of the bar, and heard the music loud enough to be heard outside. She hesitated. Her hand was ready to push the door, but she stood there, in the cold.

The moment he recognised him, Liam put down his guitar and rushed to greet this special customer.

Liam had slowly gained confidence and now played guitar for his customers on some evenings. A face everyone knew stood at the entrance. The room went quiet before the whispers started.

Aaand so the Palmieri Dynasty was born. 👑
