Follower Series: Mizzgin03

I've always found interesting new blogs by looking through the lists of followers and commenters, not only on my own site, but the sites of others. I thought that I would do a monthly profile of the followers and commenters of Apple Valley so that others can see some of the other great blogs that are out there. I only chose the sim related blogs of followers or commenter (no personal or non-sim blogs) and of course there are many followers and commenters that do not have a personal blog.

This month, I'm profiling

Pierce University

Grandmother's Traditional, 2014

Lovar, spring, 2014
Alphonso is 32, Krissy (Thorn) is 30, Claudio is 6, Isabella is 4, Domenico is 1 

It was one of the last simdays that Krissy and Alphonso would enjoy the sweet baby smell of Domenico and Claudio's toddler waddle.

When the Bell Rings, 2014

Hapar, spring, 2014

Principal: Ilila Peterson; Secondary Teacher: Simlish & History: Jesse Kent; Secondary Teacher: Math & Science: Krissy Thorn

Secondary Students: Abel Wilsonoff, Amanda Wilsonoff and Serendipity Herendez are in 12th grade; Patrick Benson, Rex Mendenhall are in 11th grade, Derek Hair, Ashlee Dawson, Veronika Kent and Laci McMillian are in the 10th grade; Gerald Frankson, Aaron Sweeny and Simora Sweeny are in the 9th grade; Esther Dawson and Breckin Grey are in 7th grade

Anywhere Close, 2014

Hapar, spring, 2014
Ray and Lydia Wilsonoff are 45, Alia Shae is 10, Ari and Ava are 6

Forty-five. Lydia didn't know what to think. Forty-five wasn't that different from fifty, yet, she felt so much different than fifty. She wasn't anywhere close to expecting grandchildren like the others from her high school, in fact her children were still simyears away from their teen years.

ROS: 2014-2015

Here are the ROS for the next round

Old Mill Live/Work Units

I completed the trio of 1x1 live/work units. It ended up being only two different units-a 2 bedroom and a 1 bedroom loft. I used the combination of them to create a small street of live/work units.

Here they are: The Old Mill Live/Work Units (named after the image they're based on)




These are the original units, I made them as if they were the middle units. I figured that it's easier to delete the extra hanging wall than to add it. They would make decent apartments as well, but I didn't see the purpose since they're only a single living space. However if you wanted your sim to live above a small store or shop and not have to run the store or shop OFB style, then you could easily add the store there and change the door into an apartment style door.




The work part of the live/work unit. A small washroom and open area ready to be transformed into whatever your heart desires. The seperate entrance for the unit is also on the ground floor.

Family Wins Lottery

Cameron Smith

A local family won the lottery to the tune of §400,000. The family wished to remain anonymous, however trusted sources have said that the family has been busy donating the money to foundations and making wise investments. Congrats!

Baby Boom Graduates

Cameron Smith

Apple Valley's baby boom has graduated high school!

"This is so exciting, seeing so many teens graduate and start their adult lives."

The graduation ceremony was a bit somber as the teens were missing fellow baby boomer, Grace Elise Dawson who died simyears ago. Also, Jadhira Shazad, mother to twins Myra and Naraj, recently died.

"It should have been five of us here graduating tonight," one of the teens whispered.

The teens were excited about their next steps, Annie Grey would be attending Mount Braynon University in Simberry Fields, while twin brother, Bryant Grey would be attending the University of Riverdale in Riverdale. Myra Shazad would be attending WilTech and twin brother, Naraj, would be attending Pierce University.

Babies Would Be, 2013

Givar, winter, 2013
Julio is 46, Rebecca is 43, Abel and Amanda are 18, Ana Rayne is 9; (Myra Shazad is 19)

Rebecca couldn't help but notice all the changes in her family. Maybe it was the giving spirit of the winter, or the holidays or the Christmas spirit. Whatever it was, all she could do was watch in awe. Her newest children's book, "Freezer Bunny's Christmas Hop" was selling off the shelves faster than the publisher could restock them. It meant a nice little royalty check in the mail. The check did little to distract her from all the changes.

Regular Schedule Program

We interrupt this regular scheduled program to announce the birth of our son. He is big and cute and the joy of our eyes already.

Like Glass, 2013

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting them back together.”

Grayson Hill Townhome-Seperated

I've been "seperating" my rowhomes and townhomes thanks to lot adjuster, so here's a look at Grayson Hill Townhomes

The original townhomes were apartments (http://applevalleydownloads.blogspot.com/2011/02/grayson-hill-brownstone.html) and can be seen closer to the bottom of the screen with the apartment icon, and the seperated units are in the background.

So a few pics, not really much of a description since they are pretty similar to the originals
