  • Catchick: Hello, Death, My Old Friend

    What newer generations of the Catchick family do not – possibly cannot – remember is the tragedy which began their saga.  Allie, Feather and Beazus losing their parents.  Allie’s cancer.  The death and ghostly return of her husband. Tragedy surrounds them, never really leaves them. It’s possible that – had Elyssa known – she might…

  • Catchick: Mid Life Crisis?

    Event Roll #22 for the Catchick family was to change careers.  To be ‘fair’ all the adults changed careers.  Medehi joined the Athletic career and became a team mascot.  Cierra became a secret agent.  Meaghan turned to a life of crime, and Delilah became a police detective. Cierra promptly decided she didn’t want to switch…

  • Catchick: Trading Spaces

    Reluctantly and somewhat awkwardly, Delilah joined a singles group, where she met this guy.  Mehdi Mounib.  Which Google tells us is pronounced ‘Meh-hedi Moon-ah-bay.’   Their relationship started out pretty rough, because Delilah is a bit on the Unflirty, but eventually, they got to a point where Mehdi moved in and they got married. Delilah…

    Catchick: Catching Up

    I’m going to be honest – I got too wrapped up in playing and failed to blog in a timely fashion.  I’m somewhere heading towards Gen 3 and still blogging the death of Gen 1.  Boo on me! So here’s what I’m going to do.  I”m going to post some picture-posts to catch up a…

  • Catchick: New Lives

    Event #8 was to give someone a job/career I hate.  So I gave the newly YA’d Brenna a career in Business, as that’s one I rarely play. One of the first things she does as a young adult is head off to see the sites in the big city of San Myshuno. She also drops…

  • Catchick: Sugar Skulls

    Sometime between event #6 and now, I took some time off for ‘real life’ and just wasn’t playing Sims.  Then there was some updates to the game, a new expansion pack, and more updates. I got City Living, play tested while I waited for my mods to be updated.  Updated the mods.  Dumped some old…

  • Catchick: Ch-ch-ch-Changes

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) Ch-ch-changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can’t trace time Issac’s death was the first of many changes in the Catchick household.  Not all of them were for the good. First, there’s poor Allie… … struggling to make it as a…

  • Catchick: Life’s Unexpected Twists

    Last time, Beezus had eloped with her boyfriend and moved out of the Catchick household, leaving Allie, Issac, Bradley and (soon-to-be born) new baby Brenna in the small house. As Beezus predicted in her complaints, having another baby has sapped Allie of a lot of her health and strength.  And, she’s still working, so when…

  • Catchick: Baby Blues

    In my last installment, Allie gave birth to the first of Gen 2, Bradley Catchick. After Bradley was born, both Allie and Issac got right back to work. Beezus also works, but she works at night in a comedy club, so during the day she gets to be the baby sitter.  “Gets” is a loosely…

  • Catchick: First Comes Love, then Comes Marriage, then Comes…

    … Baby in the baby carriage. Yes, Allie is pregnant.  Really pregnant.  The baby makes her tired… even moreso than usual.  She falls asleep almost everywhere.  But not for much longer. Say hello to the newest member of the Catchick family… Bradley. I rolled for him upon birth.  He’s going to be a Family-Oriented, Creative…
