We start off with Peter being thrown into my game. Poor guy, doesn't know what's happening to him.
This is Peter. I tried to find a hair in my game that looked closest to his. I feel like I made him look older, which I wasn't trying to do. OH WELL. He's a cutie.
A very quick, crappy look at his little house. I didn't move him onto a 5x5 lot, but a smaller one. I don't know if that's allowed though, so yeah. Hopefully I'm not already breaking the rules!
The obligatory "Learn Cooking and Cleaning Skill" wants pop up, and with that we begin to skill! He also got a job in the Military career track, which I didn't take a picture of. Whoops.
Then we see this guy -- the first person to roam the new neighbourhood as of yet (Peter got thrown into a brand new spankin' neighbourhood, so there is like no townies atm). I like his name... Phillipe Potts. He has a cute face.
Peter is a cutie! He's got some very interesting bone structure. I like his makeover in your game.
I don't know if you're interested, but you can get rid of those red pause lines with a hack, which makes resizing/editing easier. The one I use is here.

I was just being lazy at the time -- I hate editing my pictures. I didn't know there was a way to get rid of that red line though! Thanks a ton for that! Now I'll actually be bothered to edit them, since before it was just a pain in the butt to do so.

From what I've gathered, it doesn't matter what size of lot you place your Sim in. As long as they only start with $20k. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
Ohhh I really like Phillipe's face too! You must have a nice default replacement template set? If so, mind sharing? I have been looking for a new one lately.
Also, I love how you're setting up your thread. Just thought I would mention.
Oh, wow. But you see... It's, like, nobody's freaking business.

I use Joedy_76's Butterflies & Hurricanes Face Templates. They're really great. I think they're my favourite face templates yet. I was about to link you to them, but her livejournal has been purged! I've uploaded them here if you want them. I'll take down my link when her livejournal comes back (if it does -- which I hope it does!).
We start off with Phillipe and Peter playing games throughout the night.
The next morning, Phillipe stopped by again, and ACR took over.
Peter asked Phillipe out on a date, and he agreed. ON-A-DATE pictures starting now.
ACR decided to REALLY kick in and the two of them ran for the bed. However, since I had thrown it against the wall, Peter stood there moaning about how he couldn't bang Phillipe. This happened three times in a row.
Then, random-walkby-elder-guy decided to stop in on the party.
random-walkby-elder-guy: "Hey guys. What's going on? Can I join?"
Eventually, I decided to be nice and move the bed.
random-walkby-elder-guy: Boo, no fun.
He has the biggest crush on Peter it is not even funny. He constantly heart-farts at the sight of him, and stalks him. Creepy.
The date went really well.
And I'll leave you guys with the two of them smoochin'.

Thank you much for the link! You've now made it very difficult for me to decide if I want to play The Sims 3 or The Sims 2 today! haha. I think I'll go with TS2 today, lol.
Like your update! Not gonna lie, when it's my turn with the Bebees, I'm not going to edit my pictures. In fact, you'll be lucky to get me to use FRAPS instead of the normal game camera.
Oh, wow. But you see... It's, like, nobody's freaking business.

I'm glad I won't be the only one!
The Bebeess Family: 7.3
I'm about to have to run to school, so if this post gets randomly cut off at some point, that is why. I'll come back and re-edit it, though, don't worry!
We start off with Phillipe moving in, bringing in $20,000 dollars! Thanks, Phillipe! I think I'm in love with him already.
Phillipe's stats.
They're so cute! *squee*
Phillipe got a job in the Dance career. They're pretty well off with money now, but it's always good to start saving before those babies start popping out!
Peter got a promotion at work, and because of this...
He decided it was time to pop the question. So, it was date night! Peter decided to take Phillipe out somewhere very nice (AKA a tiny restaurant I threw together quickly because I love these too and want them to have a cute little engagement thing).
They decided to celebrate with some love-makin', and I heard a lullaby...
First baby bump pop thing.
Since Phillipe was starting to show (and because I wanted the baby to share the Bebeess family name), Peter decided it was time to pop the qustion.
Overall, it was a good wedding. It ended up being a great party.
As soon as the two lovebirds got home, they decided to consumate the marriage. Ohhh, ACR. The things you make Sims do.
Second baby bump! In the next update, I'm sure the baby will be born by then. Can't wait to see what he/she looks like.
I *think* I'm all caught up on the legacy now, and it's great to see the progress since legrande's run! (I think it was around then I dropped off the side of the earth.)
Phillipe is such a cute spouse! ♥ I love his hairstyle, and he and Peter are adorable together. Looking forward to gen 8 babies! God, it seems ages since we started.
I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off this weekend, what with my prom and my boyfriend's birthday happening yesterday (I had to quickly throw together a cake, wrap up his gift, make sure I was all ready for prom, and get my nails done while stressing over making prom perfect the next day!) I had a blast, and really enjoyed it. ANYWAY, I only have a couple pictures, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm not dead and wanted to show you the new little member of the Bebeess family legacy.
Ohh I like that townie! I downloaded that set of default templates and I like them in-game too! Although I have to make the eyes bigger before leaving CAS. Can't wait to see how Benjamin looks! Baby #2 too! haha.
Oh, wow. But you see... It's, like, nobody's freaking business.
So, I've been having some technical issues with my laptop -- very bad ones. My LCD monitor has decided to randomly start throwing a bunch of stuck pixels in my face. At first, it wasn't so bad -- just a big blob of yellow that eventually went away:
But now, there are some all down the top of my screen (which I beleive are dead, not stuck) and a streak down the middle of my screen. I would still be able to play, but my screen constantly jitters around and glitches out sometimes, making it almost impossible to use.
Which brings me to this -- I may have to send my laptop in to get fixed, which means I won't have TS2 to play. I'm hoping someone could come to my house and just replace the screen here, but I'm not sure if that'll be what happens.
I was wondering if it was okay with you guys if I just quickly aged up the two children in the household at the moment and then upload an heir poll for them. I know they haven't been able to develop any personality at all, but it's impossible for me to play like this.
it's like we're too old to trick or treat and too old to die.
It's okay with me. It's sad that you won't be able to finish your generation, but you've got to do what you've got to do. Sorry about your computer! That's a pain.
lauraplayssims: Sup! I'm going down a internet rabbit hole, and stumbled across this. Ah, good times Hope all other former BBSers are doing well.

Samantha: OOh I meant to say: what drew me back to this site was that I had a dream last night that I was playing TS4 (which I've never played before) and it looked EXACTLY like TS2 (of course)
Jun 18, 2018 12:28:29 GMT -5
Samantha: then I worry that it's a rabbit hole. But I agree, Zoe. This place and TS2 will always have such a special place in my heart
Jun 18, 2018 12:24:20 GMT -5
Samantha: It's so strange looking through this site after so many years away. I hardly remember the lingo that was once so integral (I no longer play Sims). Sometimes I think about it, about just downloading the game and giving it a play for old time's sake, but
Jun 18, 2018 12:23:56 GMT -5
Samantha: I had to log in just to see if I *could* remember my password. Last I knew, Photobucket had gotten rid of third-party photo linking, so I was certain this place would look a mess (all images are hosted on PB)
Jun 18, 2018 12:22:19 GMT -5
Zoee: Also I no longer remember my username or password haha
Oct 24, 2017 22:50:33 GMT -5
Zoee: I hope everyone is doing well! Even though I no longer play the Sims, this forum and all of its members will always have a place in my heart.
Oct 24, 2017 22:50:06 GMT -5
Bea Glass: I'm still playing! Happy holidays to everyone
Dec 23, 2016 5:46:28 GMT -5
Samantha: Checking in as well...does anyone still play?
Dec 19, 2016 13:21:31 GMT -5
Slurpee: I check in, update my story, and generally lurk around here every once in a while, but I wish this place was lively again as well!
Jun 24, 2016 23:30:37 GMT -5
Caitlin: I hope you are all doing well <3 decided to check in.

Samantha: I have not opened my Sims game in...a year? 10 months? I actually gave away my computer which has my Sims games on it...
Apr 22, 2016 11:55:55 GMT -5
Bea Glass: Still playing Sims - uni has gotten abit in the way
Jan 17, 2016 9:59:53 GMT -5
Samantha: Yeah, I'm sorry to see that this place basically died. How is everyone? Still playing the Sims?
Jan 16, 2016 12:36:28 GMT -5
Bea Glass: I miss this place
Jan 1, 2016 7:47:11 GMT -5
Zoe: I was reading a blog post and it reminded me of this forum, so I decided to check back on it. There were a lot of great times spent here. I hope you're all doing well.
Dec 28, 2015 0:09:52 GMT -5
PlyPlay665: That awkward moment you're like, "Oh, I cycled that family a few months ago!" and then realize you last played them A YEAR AND A HALF AGO!?
Jun 11, 2015 20:47:19 GMT -5
Bea Glass: Reinstalled TS2 on my laptop - yay!
May 25, 2015 9:55:39 GMT -5
Samantha: Too bad I have a ton of work I need to get done...
Apr 25, 2015 12:42:06 GMT -5
Samantha: I'm feeling pretty nostalgic for my game right now haha
