How Do You Get Rid of Zits?

Alexander's kind of grown on me, with a makeover he reminds me a little of Egon from "Ghostbusters." Paired up with Lucy Burb they do actually make some cute looking kids.
I paired Alexander with Lucy as well, and they have really nice looking kids, too. Only one, Bartholemew, looks like him. And my avatar of Herman Goth is his by alien abduction. Elvira, btw, is one of their kids. (My screen name.) She looks just like Cassandra. Since Cass was still in the Goth house, she helped raise Alex's kids and Cass and Elvira were very close. I had Elvira resurrect Cass after death because she missed her so much!
And yes, zits go away by changing appearance. I had to do that with one of the Goth kids.

Rainbow, if you have the Special Event Camera option ticked, this should happen every time you move a teen into college and put them in an empty dorm or house. it won't happen if there's already someone living there, though.
In my game, Cassandra married Max Durham, a fortune sim with one son (who didn't move in with him). They had a child (Desiree Durham, who is rather nice) and Mortimer moved out with Alexander and left them the house. Mortimer now lives with his lady friend in a condo, I've made them both adults so he could satisfy his LTW to become chief of staff, and he's very happy.
On the other hand, Cassandra made a dead set at Ty Crewe, a romance sim also in the police at the time, and kept bringing him home, or following him home to is house, where she made a pass at him and nearly broke up his relationship with his partner, Cory. She then did the same thing at her own house, and Max was absolutely livid, beat the daylights out of her and threw her out! She's now living in the little cabin in the woods and every so often appears around town dressed as Captain Hero, although she's only just made lieutenant!
So the Goth money has gone! - Max has it now, but I think Desiree will get the house and the money eventually, that's only fair, isn't it!

Now that's a good idea, I had not considered those two together. I had hopes for Alexander; I thought he was a cute kid. I still can not understand why his features changed so much when he transitioned, I felt sure he would be a nice looking man. Did you happen to have both Lucy and Alexander in private school together? At what age did you have them get together? I love to hear other players versions of these things. It is very interesting how many similar stories develop. I had Buck Grunt and Jill Smith pair autonomously in one game version while at Uni, which I was sure would cause a fireball with their families. Then I read just the other day where another player had this same match. I wonder if that was built into the program.
I downloaded AncientSim's Martha at MTS2, who is the daughter, born ingame, to Marisa Bendett and one of her CAS characters. She is very cute and I like her because she is not a picture-perfect specimen of custom content. In fact, the only custom content I used was to replace her dark blue Maxis eyes with a pretty set of Echo66's eyes in the nearest shade I could to her original color. They are a little more intense, not flat like the originals. All she has is a pretty, but natural peach lip shine and a hint of blush peach blush, but everything is Maxis. Not sure yet where I want her; Pleasantview would be kind of strange since Marisa is still there and unattached.
Thanks for the suggestion, Cabelle.
Jill Smith & Buck Grunt seemed to go together like "peanut butter & jelly" in my game too. I've wondered if certain relationships are programmed in the game. When I moved in the Burbs one of the first things I did was to get Lucy in private school. The next time I played the Goth house Alexander brought Lucy home with him from school and within a couple of sim days they were best friends. I have seen private school kids bring home kids from regular school so I don't think that matters to the game though. Well as soon as they transitioned to teens (Lucy as Family & Alexander as Knowledge) a bit of flirting, hugging and a first kiss later they were head over heels and went steady. I changed Lucy's hair to black and she resembled a young Bella strangely enough. I had them marry as soon as they graduated from college, so far they have a handsome son named Brendan and a cute toddler daughter named Fiona. They'll probably have one more kid so that Lucy can satisfy her "three children graduate from college" LTW.
I've got some plans for extended family drama in Pleasantview. I had Cassandra dump Don when she caught him with Nina and marry Adam Prescott, "heir to the Prescott family fortune." Don & Nina's son Nick just brought Cassandra & Adam's daughter Lily home with him from school. Hmm, wouldn't that be a fascinating wedding? I wonder what kind of score a wedding party would get if the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom get into a catfight. :o
ZephyrZodiac:
You don't actually need three children to graduate to satisfy that particular LTW! More bad programming!
In my game Lucy hardly knows alexander, she's hooked a CAS Romance sim called Kyle Kendal and they're nearly ready to graduate and get married - and I'll tell you now, like it or not, he's going to do the proposing! Kyle Burb sounds absolutely dreadful and totally unromantic, whereas Lucy Kendal is acceptable!
I think you're right, and there is something in the programming, but you don't have to follow it if you don't want to! Just as you can alter behaviours - sloppy sims who gain a lot of cleaning skills may still pee in the shower and spread water all over the bathroom floor, but unless they have a desperate need for fun or food or something, they'll clean it up without being told!
