Herb Oldie
This is Herb Oldie. He is one of the elders in the sim bin at the start of Pleasantview. He's a romance sim. (or was since he passed away)
It looks like he is crying at another sims grave. When I took the picture, I imagined it was his wife. The stone is a fortune plat stone and his wife was family. I suppose, it could have been one of his many loves.

I don't think sim ghosts cry for other dead sims. I think this happened to be the location that Herb received his visit from grim. Ghosts will return to their original death spot and cry, then jump into the ground. I didn't notice if he did that.
I thought it made an interesting storyline photo op. Sometimes you can stage storyline pictures by moving a sim around (moveobjects on). I'm unaware of anyway to move a ghost sim around to stage a storyline shot.

Here is a sim using her power to manipulate and takes a -15k hit to influence. In the next pictures, she earns a 30K Impossible want.
The -15k to influence is probably a glitch related to getting a certain perk and has nothing to do with the manipulate option. The picture makes it look like it could be, but it isn't the reason.






This is a view of the house and pool area. I've made several pools with the hot tub in the middle. There is a walkway for sims to get to the hot tub without going into the pool.

44K Red House

3rd floor. Extra area for all those things that collect over the life of a family. Currently has a cowplant and candy machine.
2nd floor has 2 bedrooms and a bath. Large open are for individual creativity. Currenty houses some career rewards.
1st floor: Large study to the left (sleeps 4). To the right: living room with fireplace, bathroom and kitchen.
Another view of the first floor. Didn't notice the pink puff of smoke when I snapped the picture.
This is one of my favotire lots. The color is so bold and the floor plan is very different from any of my other creations.

Retirement Center: Here are a few pictures of the graveyard at the retirement center.

View: Back yark toward street.
View: Street side toward back yard.
A view of several graves.
This is Daniel Pleasants grave and the second sim to vacation with grimy. I had 2 GCS sims in my challenge. A father and son team. I orbed the son when he was a teen, so he grew up eating GCS with his father. It made for cute pictures. All the clicking can drive a person batty. I was glad to get their IW done and had no interest to repeat it again. I found GCS to be a point maker in Legacy(aspiration points for elixir), but the opposite was true in the prosperity challenge. Since the son was a cheese head from teen on, I didn't spend time on his skills. He managed one top of career in his elder years. I could have elixir'd him, but was tired of the endless wants to eat gcs, make gcs, serve gcs.
