Thanks for the lovely comments!
@lordtyger9 Aww, thanks for reading, I'm glad you're enjoying my pics!
@Cher64 Thanks for the lovely comment! :lovestruc Ha, I was waiting for Melba to get eaten by the cowplant too, but she went looking for Zeke instead. The hack I had that stopped the pizza parties was Pescado's Apartment Hack, maybe you have that one?
Today I was playing Wade, and he's looking for friends. He chatted to a neighbour:
And one of his room mates, Rojo Caliente:
Wade has tried to flirt with Rojo in the past, but they just don't get on too well and there seems to be a bit of negative chemistry in play!
The daily Audrey picture:
She doesn't look happy today!
Help! Apartment tree fire!
I have a mod to increase the intensity of lightning storms, so I get a lot of these!
Wade had a lucky chance card:
You can see his seedy apartment in that shot!
His other room mate is Theresa May, and things are going a lot better with her.
That's the most enthusiastic falling-in-love I've ever seen!
Fleur LaBelle the florist lives right out by the viaduct, in a little cottage.
She recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Leonard Rossiter. He has moved in, and things are looking good!
Fleur's a bit of a bossy sim though, and so she made Leonard get a decent job. They went to the Labour Exchange:
He has ambitions to reach the top of the military career, so he signed up!
I know what she's thinking-
"He has pointy ears, maybe we could adopt..."
He even took her out for dinner- Zom Zom's! (Sol is at the bar, as usual!)
Remember when Atticus went to Lake Secret and saw Fleur fighting with Floyd? Well, it turns out he has some sort of an axe to grind with her...
"The gnome's going to get it!" (Don't worry, no actual gnomes were harmed)
"Leonard, those undies are a disgrace! You would look great in slippers like mine, though."
Pregnant sims always have odd necks and pyjamas that clash with the decor!
Lenny in his work uniform:
Yeah, the bandana and face paint really add to the rugged appeal of that outfit!
In the quiet of night...
(Can you guess whichFloyd sim kicked the bin over? )
Thankfully, Fleur has a burglar alarm and the ploice woman saved the day!
The burglar's name is Bobson Dugnutt!
Poor Leonard was quite traumatised, that's his first red memory!
(He got to see a shooting star, though! )
I like the carpool vehicle that picked him up the next morning.
Thanks to Floyd, we now have vermin.
The pest controller van is my favourite NPC vehicle! Look at his little tongue (do cockroaches even have tongues?) :lovestruc

Yes, I do have the apartment hack that prevents pizza parties. I just reread what the hack does and I think I like it enough to forego pizza parties.
Wade's neighbor seems a bit dramatic, but at least she's interested in what he's saying. That picture of Theresa May is hilarious. It's like she really didn't want to fall in love with him and now she's stuck with it.
I wonder what happened in Audrey's day to make her look like that.
Your picture of Fleur's cottage is beautiful.
"He has pointy ears, maybe we could adopt..."
Atticus and Floyd, you aren't being very nice at all.
Huh. I think if my name were something like Bobson Dognutt, I might also turn to a life of crime.

I really Love the picture of the cockroach on top of the Truck.
Theresa May does look funny, lol.
I am now thinking of making a Labour Exchange in my game. sounds like a good idea. Especially in some of my new sub Neighborhoods of Strangetown.
Does he have Pointy Ears? I only have the Summer Dream Sims with Pointy Ears so far. I would think that they are Genetic.
Great Pictures as usual.

Thank you all so much for the nice comments! :lovestruc
@Cher64 Yes, Theresa May isn't overly enthusiastic about anything! Wade is a bit of a dreamer, I can't really find a direction for him yet, he's Pleasure aspiration but has Family as a second so I'd like to get him a girl or boyfriend. Do you think Theresa May could be the one? Wade's LTW is to have 20 puppies or kittens, which isn't at all what I envisioned from what I already know about him!
@lordtyger9 Yes, the pointed ears are genetic in my neighbourhood as they are fromthe Maxis template. It all depends upon which features each parent have as inheritable, and the roll of the random (or sadorandom) generator! I like the labour exchange for those times when a sim has a wish to get a specific job, but the job isn't in the newspaper.
@Lamare Thanks! I'm glad you are reading! :lovestruc
In Lacuna Delta, there have been a few shooting star sightings recently.
In the Nouveau-Riche household, Babbage still isn't keeping up with his duties.
Outside, it's still raining-
The pictures of Ulysses are especially for @Charmful !

Francesca goes to Sherman's Electronics shop, and buys a gadget to help with the cleaning.
Hmm, I hope Sherman designed it well!
So far so good...
Meanwhile, Ulysses (who is a pleasure sim) has been chatting to Audrey Hepburn every day, and they are getting along rather well.
Rare picture of Babbage doing some work!
Ulysses asks her on a date and this happened:
Yuk, more hearts!
I'm not sure when Ulysses learned to drive, but he took the car anyway...
Uh-oh, cue the Unsavory Charlatan music!
Inside, this is going on-
Poor Audrey was so overcome with passion that she didn't realise what was going to happen-
Oh no, her paper round money!

Ulysses offers to buy her lunch- he still has plenty of money!
I think he was trying to console her. :lovestruc
Audrey wants Lobster, but knows it's too expensive. So she doesn't ask.
Looks like the waitress, Cubah Sugar, has learned to hold a pen !
Of course, Ulysses buys her the lobster!
Sighted at the bar-
Sal Sample and Austin Powers the vampire look perfectly in tune with each other!
Well done Ulysses!
Wow, Babbage is certainly trying his best today!
Later-
Where the heck did Audrey find the money to buy that? If Ulysses had known, he could have made her buy her own lobster!
Elsewhere-
Gump has some friends over to tell ghost stories:
At the toy shop, Emmett Lloyd hires Jessa Bloggs to do the restocking. I don't think she really knows what she's doing, yet...
Ethel Merman empties the bins of the entire neighbourhood!
Emmett and Cherry look to be recovering from their falling-out:

OOOH I was about to say, this was a trove of rock star chic sim! Aka Ulysses, king of Audrey's Odyssey Haha so maybe Audrey got a discount from Sherman. Could Sherman be supplying robots and mechanical spinning machines? Is Ulysses face design like a clan symbol or could it be, like all his kids if he has them will have the same face symbol? Or does each sim get their own, or is that all just up to...Femme Fatale???
Hmm I'm interested in a 'day in the life of Babbage' so see what all chores he does or does not do. And um...Jessa dear...the wall cannot be re-stocked.

I love it when someone has a Great Date. I like Audrey besides. :lovestruc
I don't think it would be wise to ask Audrey where she got the ElectroSphere, sometimes it is better not to ask where someone obtained something.
Lovely pictures as usual.

Was he? Or was he really just spying on Ulysses and Audrey? Their date was sweet, and Ulysses seems to be a pretty good guy, treating Audrey to something she could never buy for herself. Because she spent all her money and probably an inheritance on a post-date gift.
I think Charmful has a great idea about a 'day in the life of Babbage.' Maybe we'd get an idea of why he does the (very few) things he does choose to do.
Maybe Jessa found some damaged bricks that need to be replaced? Or should we just feel good that in Lacuna Delta, there's a job for everyone, no matter their deficits?!

Hi everyone, thanks for reading!
@Charmful I think the face paint is just a phase Ulysses is going through. Of course, Femme may get a say in that...
@lordtyger9 I think you're right, I won't ask Audrey where she gets her money! I might not like the answer...
@Cher64 Haha, there is a very poor selection to choose from on the 'which sim to hire' panel. Jessa looked the most capable- we'll see if she learns!
So it's a gloomy day in Lacuna Delta, and we can see Worthington Manor, home of the Nouveau-Riche family, on the outskirts of town.
Babbage has just turned up, and is already on a course for the upstairs rooms, to make five beds after the family have arisen.
Our family are all suffering from 'flu, thanks to an infestation of cockroaches. Alaric is going to call the exterminator, but he finds that Babbage has already done so.
Babbage cleans a toilet...
And Fran gets fed up of waiting for the table to be cleared of dirty dishes, and does it herself.
Babbage looks to be enjoying himself!
He cleans another toilet.
Well, you did ask for a day in the life of Babbage! I didn't promise it would be interesting. Plus, they have six bathrooms, and they all look the same.
Babbage discretely pretends not to overhear family gossip...
And cleans a shower upstairs.
Ooh, another toilet!
I think Wilamena chose the colour scheme, she is very conservative!
The oven needs a clean...
And the bins need to be emptied.
The kids have gone to school and Fran to work, and the exterminator has done his job. So Babbage clears up the cockroach corpses.
There are a lot of them, and he's still doing it an hour later when Alaric goes out to pay the bills.
Oh look, the hedge needs trimming.
It took Babbage around 30 minutes to walk around to the side of the house, to where some bushes need a trim.
There are still plants left to do, but Babbage abandons them and saunters all the way upstairs to clean another shower.
For some reason, he decides to water the hall tiles...
The teenagers are home and someone is hungry.
"Lunch, M'Lud".
In the back garden, a flower needs some water.
And there's one in the front garden, too.
OMG, he's back in the rear garden again, walking all the way around the swimming pool...
Who put those flowers all the way over there? It takes an hour to get to them!
It's beginning to get dark. Where's he going now?
As Tarquin is being tucked into his bed for the night, Babbage is still trimming hedges.
Looks like he missed some flowers earlier, better go back and water them now!
Supper time. See, I knew he was capable of more than just egg salad!
Verity and Ulysses are having a deep conversation in the downstairs loo, and Clunky the CleanBot has taken it upon itself to mop the floor.
Clunky returns to his station and Babbage dishes up the salmon.
Whilst I was watching Francesca playing with a colleague she brought home, I missed Babbage picking on Ulysses.
They have negative relationship scores with each other!
Quick, call the social worker!
Wilamena doesn't look too concerned. She watches the squabble for a while.
"Grandma, what's a woohoo?"
"And is it expensive?"
"Never mind that, Ulysses dear, just remind me of the combination for the safe. I seem to have forgotten it and I put my false teeth in there!"
Babbage is pretending not to listen, but Francesca's clown colleague doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's listening!
I think Babbage is stalking Ulysses...
Babbage watches some TV- he is still burning with fury!
After a while, he sits at the table in the office and stares at the computer. Maybe he's trying to guess Worthington's password?
Wilamena seems to have found her teeth and joins Babbage for a game of Mah-Jongg. She tells him how well the family investments are doing.
After a while, Babbage leaves...
And Clunky finishes the cleaning up.
Next week- A Day in the Life of Clunky The CleanBot!
In other news-
Ethel empties the bins of the entire neighbourhood.
Sim Sample gets his own flat!
This is what his parents did approximately 30 seconds after he left-
Look, you can even see the taxi through the window!
Sim gets a new room-mate, called Homer Simpson-

First of all, I love the pictures of the hood, is beautiful!
Second, Poor Babbage, he's having a lot of work with that big house!, Maybe that's the reason he's stress and fight with that teen..., so much work for that poor man, He should stole the money in the safe and buy a house in another place xD
Wonderful story! I will keep reading your hood story!

Hahaha oh man this was a treat, thanks for showing us a day in the life of Babbage. There were more than a few times i laughed out loud and woke my husband up. I wonder why Ulysses and Babbage started their tiff? I have a feeling there's more aggression to come if you don't keep an eye on them when they are in the same room. Showing Babbage's day also showed off a lot of the manor, and it is beautiful; LOVE the interior rooms and that pool house, lounge/sunroom thing. Why are Wilamina's false teeth kept in the vault, are they made of gold???
Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

I liked looking at a day in the life of Babbage. The manor is beautiful, too bad that I suspect that I can't make one that looks that way since I don't have FT, AL and M&G etc. Oh well.
Do the lights on the exterior of your Casino work in BV and earlier? If so I would love to know where you got them. I want them in my game if possible.
Ooh almost forgot, why does Homer Simpson have one Alien Eye and one normal looking Eye?
Is it something you did? He does look cool.

I wonder if Babbage knew he was being recorded? It seemed like he did do a fair amount of work that day, albeit in a completely inefficient manner. Am I weird for thoroughly enjoying that sequence? I also laughed out loud several times.
Lester Rossiter is as cute as can be! So is Luna, but Lester has such an adorable expression on his face.

@srtv Haha, yes- I agree with you, I don't think I could put up with that family, so I don't see why Babbage should. Maybe he can find the safe, and make a getaway...
@Charmful I'm glad you like the manor! I think Ulysses is probably quite rude to Babbage, and as for Wilamena- I think she's going a bit senile, poor dear.
@lordtyger9 Ahh, I think you could probably make something very similar, it's not a very complex build and the only things that you'd miss are the windows which are AL, I think you have Seasons for the glass roof and the spiral stairs. Some of the furniture is AL too, but nothing that I suspect you couldn't replicate with custom content. The lights for the Casino are also from the High Rollers project- they require NL so you should be okay. Homer Simpson is wearing this accessory by HP. Cool, isn't it?
@Cher64 Ha, yes- I think Babbage did know I was watching him! You know how they look at the camera sometimes... :cylon:
Of course, as you all know really, Babbage's problem is that I didn't design the place to be very easy to look after! I did put lots of doors so that he could get out and in easily, but I put a wall with no gate to one side of the house, so if he's trying to do the gardening or clean up cockroaches (the Nouveau-Riches seem to annoy a lot of people into kicking over their bins ) then he has to walk all the way around the lot to get from one side of the wall to the other.
(The black square room is a bathroom- the light was off! )
(The black rectangular areas to the left in the bedrooms are closets.)
I'll put a gate in that wall next time I visit the family, and maybe remove some of the flowerbeds. Is it possible to hire a gardener as well as a Butler? I don't think I ever tried that. Maybe I'll see if it's possible, to help old Babbage out a bit. I have rather a soft spot for him, but don't let him know!
Thanks all for being so good to me! :lovestruc

@simsample I love reading your posts
I am pretty sure that the Spiral Stairs do not come with Seasons. I will check again, but I am pretty sure that I don't have Spiral Stairs available. I do know that Seasons does have Greenhouse Roofs, so I could experiment with them I suppose. I have never really done much with Greenhouses up to this point. I do like to incorporate other people's ideas, but I seldom copy something totally, so I would just use elements if I could. I sort of like how I have my houses, rather simple in design they are mostly.
Thanks for the links! I grabbed the Casino Lights. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to them before. I also went and downloaded the Mismatched Eye and the Cyborg Eye it needs. I think I will have some of my Aliens have mismatched eyes. I already have some with human Eyes, so I am planning to add one Alien Eye to some of them. I hope that this works.
I would guess that you could hire a Gardener even if you have a Butler, won't hurt to try that is for sure.

Correct, Spiral Stairs came with Apartment Life.

HA! that mismatched eye thing is perfect for a character I have in mind and I don't even have to worry that it's genetic. The only drawback is that one is always brown so maybe i'll look into seeing how hard it would be to do an add on set to that where the brown is just a different maxis color each time so you can get a full range instead.
ETA:Or maybe HP just did it off a brown eyed sim to begin with to show it off because it looks like u can put it with different ones

I'll never understand why my Sims chose some of the routes they do. I've got some at Uni in a small house and they will go way out of their way to use the back door instead of the front. It's because the stairs are too close to the front door, I'm sure, but there are open squares all around the landing. And they do use the front door at times. Maybe they just want to get their 10,000 steps at day.

Thanks for all of the comments, it's nice to know someone is reading!
@lordtyger9 I apologise, it seems that the spiral stairs are AL, as @Prah confirmed. So you don't have those... But for the design of this particular house, the spiral stairs are not critical anyway. The hallway stairs are M&G stuff, but I remember having some of a similar design many years ago, before M&G was released. So I think CC creators are way ahead of EA, it was just the animations that used to be the problem. I'm not sure if you can have an alien contact, although I know I do have alien contacts for both eyes... I'm pretty sure you could make an alien recolour of the mesh though- I couldn't find one already done on here. I'm definitely going to try to hire a gardener too!
@SingleClawDesigns Yes, HP just had a brown eyed sim to start with, and the contact she made picks up on your Default eyes. Hence, my sim had alien eyes, and I can give him any human colour as his second eye. If you take a look at the original upload for that mesh by Generalzoi, on the 'related uploads' tab there are lots of further recolours that people have made for you to look at.
@Cher64 Yes, Babbage does look very fit! I think he must get paid by the hour, and so likes to take his time. I'm going to swap a few things around to see if it makes things easier for him.
@Charmful Yes it is, or at least it's the vehicle he took Audrey on a date in. The car that is being restored is Verity's.
So this is a collection of random pictures, to show what's been happening recently in my game...
More successes in 'Blonde Ambition'!
Whatever did Homer say to make Sim pull that face?
A new maid in the town- her name is Constance Stench. I think it was all a bit much for Ethel to manage on her own!
Turned out that sim had a broken outfit and wouldn't go back into his apartment. I felt sorry for him and fixed it, but it was fun whilst it lasted!
Poor Sterling, five sims got struck in that hot pool whilst I was watching!
Verity has acne!
Yuk!
A neighbour was complaining.
Zeke's new employee, Ann Chovie.
Zeke's girlfriend, Melba Toast, has had a makeover at Femme's salon!
Noisy neighbours woke them up.
Guess which lot that sim visited!
SMUSTLE!!
Must be Ethel's day off.
New topiary park.
Oh, Cubah...
There's Ethel!

@simsample I certainly admire your Sim's house, but I don't really want to try to make one like it except for the Sun Room part, I will try to make one using the Green House parts that come with Seasons when I get around to making a new house from scratch on the empty lots that have families needing to get a house built. I frequently use the Simlogical Mortage Shrubs when I am building one and then I pay off the mortage first thing.
I will try and remember to share a picture of my attempt once I make one.
I found these Alien Eye contacts that appear in the Face Paint section {MTS_AlienEyesUnlockedContacts_TNM} and I found that if you first put the Alien Eye contacts on and then put a Human Mismatched Eye in that I get the effect that I am looking for. I have a set of Default Replacement Eyes, but there is one Mismatched Eye that looked right to me in the set of Mismatched Eyes with the others looking odd. Anyway I am happy to report that I can have Sims with one Alien Eye and one Human Eye and they look pretty good. I changed one of my Human Looking Sims that has an Alien Father and gave her an Alien Eye. Made sense to me for her to have an Alien Eye and a Human Eye. I am going to change some of my Aliens with human Eyes later.
I will try and remember to post some pictures of the Sims once they have been changed, got one so far, I will try and post her tomorrow.

Oh, fabulous @lordtyger9 - I'm glad you found a way to make it work for you! I never thought about layering the contacts. Nice find! Looking forward to the pictures.

@simsample I love reading your posts partly because I get ideas.
I looked at my Default Replacement Eyes and I realized that I didn't have a full set, so I had to discover which set I was using, took me a while to find them on MTS...but I did and I downloaded the other colours and made notes while I was doing it
Oh yeah layering works, I think because the Alien Eyes I am using are coded as full face make up {or whatever that kind of make up is called} and the contacts are coded as accessories.
Not Genetic of course, but that doesn't make any difference to me. I just wanted to have Sims that have one Alien Eye and One Human Eye and too be able to mix and match is great. Yay!
I can also have Sims that have mismatched Human Eyes and I am going to make some of them too.
Going to have to practice doing close ups.
Also I wanted to share what I found out as maybe there might be some others that want to do the same thing.
I am using Redsimmies Default Replacement Eyes. , and I used the Contacts version of AlienEyesUnlocked, plus HP's Mismatched Eyes, and Different Colored Eyes by GeneralZoi all together works great.

That was a fun update, and I have a few comments.
In your random pictures, the maid doesn't look as shocked as I would expect. Does she see kitchen sponge baths often?
I hope I never pass out in that hood -- the neighbors seem a little uncaring.
I just had a sim on her honeymoon get struck by lightning in the hot springs, followed by an unplayable. I made her husband get out in a hurry before he was next!
Zeke seems to like Melba's makeover.
It was great to see Audrey having fun on the stairs.

LD Businesses
Hi all, thanks for the great comments! I've been busy lately but am catching up today. I'm loving the Business theme you are all playing, so thought I'd show you a few of mine- although you've seen most of them already!
Benefact Lacuna Charity Shop
This is Atticus Benefact's business. He is a true philanthropist, using his time and money for the benefit of others. He has lived in Lacuna Delta for a long time and decided to try to beautify the surroundings, to cheer up a town that is full of dirty bricks and cold, wet weather.
Atticus lives in a tiny apartment:
His business is a bit bigger, and he does the sales and cash register.
He has one employee, Pat Butcher, who does the restocking. She is on the left of this image- the red head on the right is Anne Robinson, the local business critic.
Atticus is sure to be nice to Anne, and he always gets good reviews and 'The Best of the Best'.
Atticus sells all sorts of odds and ends, and if sims in Lacuna Delta are buying new furniture, they always make sure to donate their old things to the shop.
He is very persuasive, and has a lot of customers. His business is level 8 now, and Atticus always takes the cash business perks.
Recently, Atticus purchased the Lacuna Delta Common (the large lot in the middle) and renovated it, adding a coffee shop and toilets, plus play equipment. All with money raised from the shop. He donated it back to the community.
Blonde Ambition Salon
This is Femme Fatale's business, and she uses it as a way to meet hot men! Also, it's one of my favourite to play, as it allows me to make my sims look silly.
Most of the customers seem to come in to study Femme's booty-
H.G. Wells (the man with the beard) is always there- he seems to like being around Femme!
Oh dear...
Sometimes she gives free makeovers to those who have had a bad makeover, but there are only so many hours in a day...
She has a gold cosmetology badge, and the business is level 6, but still she does more bad then good makeovers.
Some turn out perfectly...
Some, like Hank here, will never be changed because they have become local legends!
Femme has no employees- she works alone.
Zeke's Shack
This is the business of Zeke Destitute. He has one love- money! Plus, he likes to play the violin.
Zeke's is meant to be a kind of pawn shop, but not that many sims actually pawn anything. If they do, they will give a valuable item to Zeke and he'll give them a SimWardrobe cheque for part of the value, then if they haven't paid the loan back in a couple of rotations he sells the item. All of my sims in Lacuna Delta are currently doing quite well though, so mainly he sells junk. Like this toilet roll holder. My aim is to have one in the inventory of every sim in the neighbourhood!
Zeke's shack is at level seven, and Zeke does sales and cash taking, whilst his one employee, Ann Chovie, does stocktaking. She can't afford any decent clothes because Zeke doesn't pay much!
She's always farting hearts at him, though, poor girl!
Most of the items in the shop are quite small, but occasionally he has something pricey, which helps raise profits.
Zeke always takes the wholesale discounts for rewards- he's a good businessman!
The shop is quite cramped, which makes for some funny queue habits-
All of the famous local sims come to Zeke's Shack, including J.M Pescado (he was looking for books)...
...and Will Wright (who got sold a Will Wright scarecrow).
In other news...
A baby got abandoned...
...And later adopted.
(Unfortunately, one of the parents- Gunther Tyler- had a bit of a meltdown! )
Lacuna Delta gets a beach!
Okay, it's actually on a river...
But it's tidal, so we can pretend! Plus, it has ice cream.
Zeke got burgled- the police watched as his violin was stolen!
Oh, and as usual, Ethel emptied bins...
And Audrey got wet!
Thanks for reading, I'm off to catch up on all of your stories now! :lovestruc
