Immunity for Ghislaine or three get out of death cards works for me, definitely!

[@Jigtor17]

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!!🎉 That first trimester can be so trying! Good luck on getting through it as easily as possible.

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you so much! 🥰 If my first pregnancy is any indicator, I felt fine after about 12 weeks, so fingers crossed the fatigue and nausea go away soon 🤞🤞

[@annabananawitz]

This poor village was invaded by a flock of rogue bicycles and several time travelers. Better check that rye crop for ergot! Loved that Brayden and Fatima returned from counseling fully merged- that's how you know the counseling was effective, haha. Adrianna stomping away while thinking about cake is a total mood. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

[@citrinesimmer]

Maybe the ergot would explain everyone woohoo'ing all the time too 😂😭 And thank you!! 💕

[@TJ-ep6jl]

First off congratulations!! 🎉 The new lot is really cool, what a cool medieval build! Yay for the first gen 3 baby arriving!! That bike spawning bug is about the weirdest thing I think I've seen in the Sims. I can only laugh at it cos it's just SO weird lol and they DO look sinister somehow I'm torn on Ghyslain's immunity because I see what you mean about it being cheaty but you're also right that we went to all that trouble to bring back Gemma only for her to die having him so that would be the way to make her death worth it.....

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you! 🥰 and I love the build so much, my friend put so much time and attention into it 😭 I tried searching online to see if anyone else had this issue with bikes and I only found a single reddit post talking about it, makes me even more curious to know what is causing it!!

[@SleepyTimeSims]

First, congratulations (again) 🥰💜💜 Love the new lot!! And the debt arrangements are a great tie-in for the story! Also why you retraumatize me like that with those bikes!! 😂 Oh boy… braydan, braydan, braydan 😅 CLUB COSPLAY 💀💀💀 I like the idea of Stephanie trying to pass both babies off as twins. WHY THE BIKES WHY AT A DIFFERENT LOT. OMGGGGG. I’m glad you don’t play at night cuz that would scare me so bad!!! Give Ghyslain forever immunity. Hes a cutie and seems like he will be a sweet soul

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you! (again xD) 🥰 And thanks for your input! I think the debts make sense since Brayden is more ambitious than cautious.... Hopefully I'll be able to pay them before any debt collectors come knocking though 💀 and Ghyslain does seem like he's going to be sweet, for someone who has an evil dad 😂

[@cryingwatercolours]

I rlly wanna see you go around to all the side households and make sure all the furniture and lighting is medieval, it drives me crazy to see more modern furniture lol

[@citrinesimmer]

@@cryingwatercolours ughhhh I know what you mean, it drives me crazy too 😂🫣 I try to do a cleanup when I add new lots but always miss stuff and then see it only when I'm editing! 😂

[@sims4lover]

OMG the bikes are so creepy.. they just appear out of nowhere Yay! generation 3 incoming at a fast pace!

[@citrinesimmer]

right?! I loaded into my save and they were just THERE. I wish there was a way to know who the owner of an item is, it would at least give me a hint as to who is leaving all these bikes at my house 😂

[@cryingwatercolours]

so uh. i started watching this tuesday night. i literally have not put it down since. i stayed up that whole night watching it, and the entire next day. i only put it down this morning at 5am, woke up at 2pm and immediately started watching again. i shit you not ive been on my phone for about 47 hours this week, monday to thursday 3pm and ive spent over 35 of them JUST WATCHING THIS. i’m addicted and i’m running out of episodes and they’re getting shorterrrr. i’m so obsessed with the storylines and how you play, im personally working on a victorian save and ive been making families while i watch, i literally can’t stop. i had 22 hours of youtube of wednesday. all this series, not a single short or other youtuber. omg. i’m done sorry i just wanted to rlly hiit home how much i love this series and ur channel

[@citrinesimmer]

@@cryingwatercolours oh my gosh thank you so much, this made my day!! ❤️ It makes me so happy to hear others are as invested in my Sims' storylines as I am! I LOVE the Victorian era, I won't be getting there for a loooong time but I'm very much looking forward to it and hoarding cc in advance. Easily my favourite time period! If you ever share your sims, gameplay or screenshots somewhere, do let me know!

[@cryingwatercolours]

@@citrinesimmer i’m currently uploading some of my builds and victorian makeovers/townies to my gallery but i may start posting screenshots around somewhere. it’s a while off yet but if you ever need some victorian homes (none have electricity, all have outhouses unless more well off so wouldn’t be much to redecorate- i’m also doing semi furnished and fully furnished versions- my tag is either EnaysiaYT or LilPixelBigHeart not sure lol. i have stuff like workhouses, small cottages, attached miners homes with skinny back gardens, im going all out lol

[@fuzzykat97]

I love this series!! Just binge watched every episode and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for gen 3!! 😊

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you so much for following the adventure! 🥰

[@Saltyasthesea930]

Ahhhh!! Congratulations on the pregnancy!! 🎉 13:34

[@citrinesimmer]

Thanks again! 💕

[@jandjplus4More]

It was so hilarious to see this because this is the lot I've been using for my OG ultimate decades right from the very beginning. 😂

[@jandjplus4More]

And omg congratulations on your pregnancy!

[@citrinesimmer]

Really?? 😂 One of my IRL friends made this build when I told her I was doing the UDC and then it took me foreveeeever to get the funds to buy it 😅😅😅 are you very far in the UDC? Has the lot stood the test of time?

[@citrinesimmer]

​@@jandjplus4More and thank youuuu! 🥰

[@jandjplus4More]

@@citrinesimmerI've only made it to about 1340 and I've had to make very slight modifications to make everything run smoothly but so far I really love it! You're friend did an amazing job. And I can easily see how it could be adapted and upgraded throughout the centuries to be more fitting to the times which is more than I can say for most of the other lots that I found.

[@Saltyasthesea930]

I don’t know if anyone commented this but I find it easier for them to bond with the baby after the baby is born than get them to accept the pregnancy. I can normally get them to bond with the baby with like 2 attempts over the million classes they need to take

[@Saltyasthesea930]

Also, after they make peace with the pregnant the moodlet won’t change until the next trimester moodlet comes up. So once the time runs out on that trimester she’ll then be happy with the pregnant or neutral depending!

[@citrinesimmer]

@@Saltyasthesea930 ohhhh thank you for this! it was my first time actually attempting to have a sim make peace with it, I usually let them be miserable, and it felt like a lot of work... If this happens again I'll have them bond with the baby instead 😂

[@Jigtor17]

Do you have eco lifestyle with free love neighborhood action plan on? Your Sims are definitely woohoo obsessed.

[@citrinesimmer]

I do have eco lifestyle, and I have NPC voting turned off, but I checked just in case... the only NAP I have applied is Sharing is Caring, which I voted for myself because I have a mod by Chingyu that turns it into "Friendly Neighborhood" instead. It makes sims in their home neighborhood more friendly... I'll still try removing it just to see if it has any effect!

[@Bunnyrabbit-e7u]

32:51 So although he is gay, back in those days that would be hidden, so he would absolutely marry her, just to carry on the charade, but that opens you up to some intriguing story lines 😅

[@citrinesimmer]

That's a good point! It happens to be a perfect explanation as to why they get married but never have any kids 🫣

[@mollymollie6048]

Bicycle! Bicycle! I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike! 🎶 (Sorry, couldn’t help myself…massive Queen fan here 😁) Go ahead and give Guyslaine some freebie rolls (or save him a few times) Gemma had the worst luck ever. The new house is really cool, and making money challenges does make sense. It is so easy to make a ton of money in Sims 4. The flirting/autonomous woohoo is nuts…did a NAP get enabled for Free Love? Also, I could see Frederick being asexual or gay, but also wanting to fit into society and not have people be suspicious of him. He could feel a strong compatibility of a friendship love with Adelaide (and maybe he’s still figuring himself out wrt his woohoo interests.) Hopefully, he will try to be a good partner in raising animals for the farm and supporting Adelaide and her 3-4 (5?) children. I’m looking forward to seeing who Noah picks…that could be an entertaining side household! (P.S. who made the mod that sends all the judgy phone calls to poor Fatima…she didn’t make this baby on her own!!!)

[@citrinesimmer]

That song is the first thing that came to mind when I discovered those bikes and I actually considered having it play in the video but I was afraid it would be taken down due to copyright issues 😂 And I double and triple-checked, don't have any NAPs enabled except sharing is caring! (which I have a mod for that turns it into "friend neighbourhood" so that sims are nicer to people from their neighbourhood 🤭) That's a good theory for Frederik! Maybe he was in a bit of an exploration phase at first and ultimately figured out that he's not all that into women, but he still really appreciates Adelaide and they have a good partnership, while also using the marriage as a front to be accepted in society. I'd like to think that with his wife's farm to take care of and being out of his twin's shadow, he'll finally find contentment and grow into a more mature and well-balance guy! (and having three kids to raise will certainly keep him busy too!)

[@mollymollie6048]

@@citrinesimmer The game designers had a little fun, if you go to Build/Buy for a bike, it’s called “Bicycle! Bicycle!” I was fortunate enough to cross off a huge bucket list item and see Queen + Adam Lambert when they were on tour last year. We had fantastic seats, like 25-30 feet from the stage, and the show was absolutely amazing. (My husband who is 15 yrs older than me got to see Queen with Freddie in the early 80s…soooo jealous!!!!!!) RIP dear Freddie. I’m so glad someone made something to change the NAPs, I hate when I forget to turn them off!!!

[@lorrhania]

the new home is so beautiful!!! where do you get your medieval cc from? (build stuff)

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you!! It's the same friend who made the bathhouse I mentioned on Discord! 🥰 Most of my cc is from Ingeli or the medieval collection on The Sims Resource, but I also have a page on my Tumblr where I listed a bunch of creators I got cc from: citrinedecades.tumblr.com/cclinks

[@lorrhania]

@@citrinesimmer thank you! will be checking that out when i get back :3

[@PlumbobsandthePast]

Omg this lot is *the* cutest!!!! 🤩🤩 And congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope the first trimester goes quickly! Those bikes are seriously terrifying... but why? Why are they soooo scary? Oh dear... Adelaide (?) is so cute for Frederik! Like a partnership built on similar goals, rather than romantic love! It might be just what he needs. And it seems like she might be into him too 😉 although maybe she was just like, "please, come and help me on my farm and with my kids!" 🤭🫣 Oh my, your money situation is scary!!! Adding the tallage could really throw you far, far into debt 😱 You could always see how it goes the first decade then decide if it'll be too crazy while you've got all that debt? Because if something happened to Brayden's friendship or Quintin had a neighborhood stories accident... 😰😰 Btw, what is that toilet? 😂🤣 so gross and sooooo funny ❤ I say let Ghyslain/Ghislaine be protected, at least for a while!!! Gemma was an icon!!!

[@citrinesimmer]

Thank you!! 🥰 And those bikes, can someone just tell me WHY?? 😂 What have I done to deserve this? LOL Adelaide does seem like a pragmatic kind of woman, and Frederik already knows quite a bit about managing a farm so she probably saw the opportunity there... 😂 I have neighbourhood stories turned off, I do not want that feature touching my game with a ten-foot pole!! But Brayden has definitely put himself in a dangerous situation, although he probably doesn't see it that way... We'll see how the decade goes, but I wouldn't be against a bit of difficulty and poor Brayden getting sent to jail if things don't go as planned 😬🤭 The toilet is from a set of two chamber pots by MelonSloth over on tumblr!

[@PlumbobsandthePast]

@@citrinesimmer Those bikes are SCARY!!! If you ever find out why they're there please let me know!!! Eeek!!! 😱😱 Neighborhood stories causes so much chaos 😔 it's probably a good call to keep it off, especially if you don't want random people getting got in the game 🫣 I can't imagine Brayden in jail, but now that the idea is there I kind of want to see it too...🤭🤭 Also, the money piling up is legitimately an issue in this challenge 😒 That toilet is *such* a great find! 😂😂 it killed me
