When you suddenly realize you might not be ready for a second child.

#EAPartner It's 5 a.m. Do you know where your Toddlers are? #TheSims4

#EApartner Figures.

#EApartner It's really hard to raise an infant, cows, chickens, and crops off the grid. Also I forgot how funny mud is. Also, you actually eventually get eggs if you remember you might have for some reason had animal aging off... #oops #sigh #TheSims4

#EApartner One leettle change to Morgyn Ember's settings, and Cassandra's going to have one cute little Spellbaby... 🤞 #TheSims4

Ahahaha. Skillful Sleep Projection caught me off guard. I was *pretty sure* Mortimer's not dead yet. Also TIL you can't pick the skill they work on :D

#EAPartner Muffin Goth doesn't want to be a Baby, thank you very much. #TheSims4

This was very good to see today. #TheSims4 #NoHate Turns out Sims *was* banning the Nazis on the Gallery, just sending a misleading email when there were multiple reports. And that will misleading email will get fixed. (And thank you to other people who could see that post on X)

#EApartner Bit invasive, this inspection is. Didn't even knock first. #TheSims4

#EApartner Don Lothario is an adorable if not responsible dad. Also, then my game crashed because I often forget to update my own Mods folder when I'm reporting updated mods. 🙃

#EApartner I have no idea why my Sim is glaring at the milk carton like this. Also, I forgot to take more screenshots, but caught up on #TheSims4 reward event! Took a while because I had to move her out of her apt., which meant *hours* of redecorating 😂

#EAPartner My Sim just said "Yibs! Moooo" to the new cow, and my day is so much better! #TheSims4

#EAPartner Natural Bunpocalypse. #TheSims4

Successful Sims 4 wedding. Kind of. Somehow the bride and groom both changed out of their lovely wedding clothes at the altar. And the officiant was late. I retried a few times and gave up. But hey, they'll both know they had a wedding? And nobody died in the middle of it.

Is baby

#EApartner Alicia Christmas is ready for the next challenge, now that she has her awesome new #Shrimpmas dress! (Thanks, @ice-creamforbreakfast.com and @surelysims.com ! ) #TheSims4 #TheSims4CC

Oh, Sims... I know I call my actual son's dog my granddoggo, but that doesn't mean my Sim having a dog means she had a baby.

#EApartner They're still adorable :) Also I love that both their breath is so cold. (It's really, really cold out. I feel that -- I had a LONG walk out in the cold wind today IRL.) #TheSims4

He's only a level 4 painter still, but he did get a different Bucket List item completed: He has a new baby. This is Desdemona Goth, child of his old age. #TheSims4

#EApartner The new pizza delivery person is veeeery suspicious, says the old pizza delivery person... #TheSims4

#EApartner I just spent waaaaaay too long setting up a save for #TheSims4 rewards event 😂 But Alicia Christmas and her doggo Frosty the Poodle and her redecorated Brindleton Bay house are just too adorable. I love them.

#EApartner Today in #TheSims4, Mortimer -- who just became an Elder -- has decided to pursue his Bucket List goal of painting a Masterpiece. This is his first ever painting. He might not make it. (Also, he's left handed!)

Age yourself with your first computer. (Okay, not "mine" technically. 15-year-olds did not own IBM mainframe computers and punch-card machines.) I think the first my partner & I had at home was an Amiga? Maybe this one? But I remember 5-1/4" discs. Maybe I just had those for the campus labs.

And here's my #DragonAge #Veilguard character Osla Ingellvar! My kids kindly directed me to Storyteller mode. So far she's made it through one short scene (in which she towered over everyone) and has survived... without me having to win a fight. 😅 #EApartner

After hair (physics!! that was fun!) and makeup came class and faction. October 31 was also release day for #TheSims4 Life and Death, so "The Mourn Watch" it is! Plus she looks great in that outfit. It was meant to be. #EApartner #DragonAge #Veilguard

The detail options in the scars in the #Veilguard character creation was nice, and I like the result. Layering multiple scar patterns would have been nice. Gave her one tattoo, but I didn't play with paint. #EApartner #DragonAge

The different lighting options were a nice touch even if I don't know (as not a previous player) when I'll see the different ones in game. If I survive long enough to. #EApartner #DragonAge #Veilguard

"Left" and "right"?! Crooked noses? It was awesome to find asymmetry in the #Veilguard character creation. That's something I really wish Sims had. I ran with it and made a character who's been bashed about on one side. #EApartner #DragonAge

Using the #Veilguard sliders was a bit weird after the dragging right on the body in The Sims 4. But I like the word "Jowls". Also the overbite setting. I revisited some of these settings later in the process. The skintone tool was fabulous. #EApartner #DragonAge

#EApartner My kids got me try #DragonAge #Veilguard even though I'll die the first time I fight anything. This morning we all hung out on the family Discord while I made my character. So... Veilguard "CAS" thread! (Well, create-a-whatever-this-is - definitely not a Sim!) I started with a default:
