Discovered I had enough screenies for an Eighties update! Whoo hoo! This is good, since I have had no time to play Sims in forever. Tragically, work and life have been In The Way.

Now, everyone remembers the deal here: it's an I'm Surrounded By Idiots (ISBI) Challenge, featuring our founder, Jenny Eighties. She married Luiz, a gorgeous imbecile, and they proceeded to have twins, the charming and dim-witted Jack and Diane. And oh yes, the naming theme for this legacy is the wonderful and often cheesy music of the 1980's. And other 80's stuff, because I am an Old. Anyway, let's get started!



We start with Jenny outside in her PJs, picking up the trash can, YET AGAIN. Why? Because she's the only one who can. Who cares if she's pregnant! I have no idea who keeps knocking it over, unless it's Diane. (It's probably Diane.)

Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed it, and here's hoping I can actually get some time to play again soon. If only I didn't require sleep!

Long delay between entries, I know, but that's the usual for me. This is a pretty sizeable one though, so maybe that makes up for it! Anyway, in our last delightful episode, everyone finally finished college, and there was much rejoicing!



First off, let's meet our main heir: Celia Gorey! She's rocking her new gothier makeover.

And that's all for this massive update! Hopefully I can be a little quicker on the next one.

It's been a while, but I've had work and real life interfering with my Simming time. Already totally blew my "I'm going to be more active in the Sims community and post more!" resolution I made and it's only February. Ah well! But here we go, a honking huge Gorey update, since I want to GET COLLEGE OVER WITH, GOOD LORD.



We start with a bright new day, and Ortenzia looking a bit melancholy since she is STILL IN COLLEGE. (I kid, I kid, she's probably melancholy because she slept alone.)

That's all for this chapter. Thank god, college is finally finished. Next time, there will be wedding spam to end all wedding spam, since Epitwee's lifetime want is to see all six of her children married off. Thanks for reading!

In case you have not heard, MATY and PMBD (The Booty) are in a bit of trouble and need some funding. There is more information about the situation here, and you can donate here.

If you can't afford to donate, please consider spreading the word! :) These sites have definitely helped out simmers and their games, and hopefully it can stay that way.

Thanks to CuriousB and lovelyxwow for the post I based this on!

The Booty is one of my favorite places to browse CC (though I don't download much from it anymore), and the hacks at MATY literally keep my game from self-destructing or from me rage-smashing the keyboard when my Sims do something too stupid, so I donated what I could!

Bill Nighy is my favorite. And I watch Love Actually every year, on Xmas Day.

Hope all my friends out there in Simming-land have a wonderful holiday season, regardless of whatever holiday you celebrate!

It's that time of year again to head over to allthingsimlish and share some warm fuzzies with the rest of the Simming community!

It's one of the nicest traditions in the community, I'd say even nicer than all the lovely Advent events!

EDIT TO ADD: Forgot my other favorite part of the meme: finding new Simmer journals to read and new CC creators to admire! It's a giant ball of win-win!

SO LONG since my last updates. I apologize. Too much work, not enough free time. But who cares about that, let's get to the Sims pix, right right?

Last time, the Goreys were still in college. AND THEY STILL ARE. I swear, college will never end. Why I ever let Epitwee have six children, I will never know.



Since Celia is super super artsy, she gives Louise some unasked for and unheeded critique.

And that's all for now. Next time, the END OF COLLEGE. (And there was much rejoicing!) Thanks for reading!

Finally some free time to do an update again! I warn everyone, this chapter will have my terrible tiny screenshots from when I was finally able to play again after reinstalling my game- I had forgotten to reset my screenshot size, so they look just awful. Apologies in advance.



We start with Jack, playing in the tub, little suspecting that in mere minutes of game time, he will be captured for all time in a cheap, poor resolution fashion to be displayed on the internet!

That's all for this update! Next time: bigger screenshots, the birth of the newest addition to the Eighties clan, and more wacky ISBI hijinks! Thanks for reading!

Teeny weeny update for this, as I haven't gotten a chance to play more of it yet in the what, two weeks since my Sims game has been working again...? Either way, I had some pictures saved up so those will be what we use!



We start with Meg and Tracy becoming best friends. Tracy seems happy, Meg seems.... blase.

And that's all for this update. More to come when I get some more time to play!

STATS FOR THIS UPDATE:
Cases of pants-peeing: 1
Cases of passing out: 0
Cases of aspirational failure: 0
Cases of illness: 0
Deaths: 0

(Pretty good stats this time! They all managed to keep themselves reasonably alive and kicking!)

It has been a while for my Goreys, my actual no-cheating-do-things-by-the-book Legacy, hasn't it? A refresher, if you've forgotten who everyone is by now: Epitwee Gorey is our founder, a Family/Knowledge Sim with the lifetime want to marry off six children. She married Hal Cooke, a handsome Knowledge Sim she met in college. Hal wants to become a Media Magnate, which may or may not happen, as he's already an elder. They had six children: Quentin (Knowledge), twins Celia (Fortune) and Thump (Knowledge), twins Louise (Romance) and Ortenzia (Pleasure) and the baby, Maud (Family). Quentin and Thump are very dull. The girls have much more personality, making the heir race a close one to call. And, the naming theme for everyone are names and words taken from the works of Edward Gorey, which means if these Sims aren't goth, they'll likely be pretty eccentric.

Everyone is in college at the moment, and let me tell you, University takes for-freaking-ever with six kids.



Celia passes on some important advice to Maud over some mac & cheese. You know, as you do.

And that's all for this update. There's MUCH MOAR COLLEGE to come, tragically. It takes so long! But hey, they're halfway there, at least!

Thanks for reading and comments are love. ^_^
