I never have trouble coming up with baby names. Last time a baby was born, the mother screamed EXACTLY when the lightning went off. I laughed my ass off. So I named the baby after the Latin word for thunder, Tonitrua.

Must be a signal. What is the future planning for this baby?

I finally go for the "smite" option. The sim who started the fight got smited.
It seems that, for now Bonneville's inhabitants play kickybag instead of fighing.

The German for thunder is Donner, which is homophonic with Donna (a real name).

Oh, I don't know! Nothing special. What should I do then? :o Maybe she needs to become an evil witch.
She may be the heiress of the family, I don't know yet! I'm playing a kind-of legacy where every generation must have 10 kids, and when there's 5 teenagers, they go to the university, and one of the sims in that first group (the prettiest of course ) becomes the heir/heiress and moves back to the same house. So her future is very unknown atm!

I read "homophobic" I was like WHAT is going on? xD
Oh that would have been a pretty name! But also quite common, so I prefer Tonitrua Although Donna sounds nicer, I admit. Oh well

I've been on a same-first-letter twin naming kick for the last couple of years. It kind of just helps me keep track of who is twins with who: Roderick and Rosaline; Sherya and Shalin; Atticus and Amelia; Franz and Fauna; Andante and Adagio; Pryce and Peirce; Marquez and Mercedes, etc

Before that I used rhyming names, but it gets a bit hard after a few to keep finding Rhyming names unless you want to go with Mary, Gary, Barry, Jerry, Larry, Terri, etc but at that point why waste tha ton twins when you could make them quintuplets? (I don't have that mod, yikes If I did!)
Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

I need to break myself of the habit of thinking that once I've started work on the interior of a lot, I can no longer make changes to the exterior. The cafeteria on the terrace of my hospital lot has been bothering me because it's too small for quite a while, and yet it only occurred to me this afternoon that I could expand it.

Still have to see if that approach works the way I want it to from an aesthetic standpoint, but it was really kind of a "hey, duh" moment for me...

Any suggestions on fitting names? I can't seem to think of any baby names any more, last two babies in born in my game were called "baby girl" and "baby boy" until turning toddlers when I finally gave up and asked my sister to name them


Assuming their last name is Lindstrom: For boys, Frederik and Valdemar; for girls, Sofia and Freja.
If their last name is Flex, maybe replace Frederik with Magnus and Freja with Laura or Lorelei.

I had fun designing my Kingsman Tailors lot after having seen Kingsman: The Secret Service a few years back... When I was watching Kingsman: The Golden Circle today, I kept finding myself thinking about how I'd design a similar lot with a more Western-Americana theme after seeing the distillery that the Statesmen use as their HQ in the new film...

I really need to get a new photo editing program or figure out what's wrong with mine. I have some houses to share and would like to've shared other pictures to the various threads, but my paintshop pro has been crashin on me when I try and use it for over a year now. I've tried Gimp and it just confuses me so after givin it a try I close it in frustration. Done that many times hopin that one time I might actually understand it ... lol. They do say that hope springs eternal. *sigh*

Do you have a lot of custom brushes and stuff added to your paintshop pro? Or have the disk where you can reinstall?

You can do that? ... lol. No, I don't have anything special added/ downloaded for PSP other than what is on the disk. I have not tried doin an uninstall/ reinstall as of yet as that means I need to go track down where in my box of stuff the cd is :P. Seein as how I'm havin more Sims time I just might need to do that here soon and see if that doesn't fix my issue. I was just a bit peeved that I tried to use it a bit a go and it crashed on me ... again.

Which version of PSP is it? I've had mine for years (and years and years) and it's still working fine. You can get a free and older version of Photoshop here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-su...romoid=19SCDRQK
