First of all, I apologize... I really did have an ending to this story and may actually get back to writing it again in the future. I also have a really exciting (I think) idea about the next generation that needs some more fleshing out but it seems like a unique idea to me.
Unfortunately, real life had plans for me that prevented me from writing for a long time. I have been offline for several months due to a move to the country which left me without internet. It's only just been connected.
But I have been playing Sims, although it's not as much fun playing offline, I can tell you that much. I really missed being connected to the site so I could share memories. I actually have EA memories turned off in my game and only do custom memories. So, the rest of this commentary is going to deal with some glitches that have happened in my game that I find humorous. Some happened before I got back online and I took screenshots, but most of them have happened since I reconnected.
I hope you enjoy this entry and find it as amusing as I did.
All right, first things first.... spontaneous combustion. We all know this happens to Sims. I find this both strange and entertaining. Especially if it's happening to a paparazzi.

This paparazzi caught fire and the fire department came quite quickly and put him out. But this persistent guy didn't let near death stop him from his duties.
So, my Sim family (The Raynes') got up the next day and this doof was still out there looking like this. It was quite obvious my Sims thought he was on the smelly side. I wish there was an interaction to tell Mr. Lunkhead singed guy to go home and take a shower. But, alas, impossible.
Next day... paparazzi guy apparently had gotten a clue, gone home and cleaned up. But look! He came back to the Rayne home to take his tabloid photos and boom! Caught fire again. I'm not even kidding.
Then there was this time in Roaring Heights. My Sim came out of her house, walked past this poor paparazzi woman on fire and nonchalantly got her mail as if nothing unusual was happening at all. Heartless, I tell you.
Now, onto the glitches I have come across recently:
Now, onto the glitches I have come across recently:
This is a minor glitch indeed, but I am going to include it because it is interesting that a sim can just stand there like that on the water without sinking or falling in. She doesn't look worried to me, but one of her traits was hydrophobic, so I would have thought that would be the last place she would have wanted to hang about.
For the record, there are no glitches in this photo, just a set up for the weirdness that is to come in a moment.
It's an amazing time in a Sim's life, filled with adventure and wonder. The excitement of knowing your family is about to expand. Gene, who was family oriented, was so thrilled about the birth of his future son or daughter, it couldn't happen soon enough.
And that's where things went a little wonky...

Their son was born at the hospital and upon arriving home, Gene's wife, who had been holding the baby in her arms, carried the baby into the front yard and as you can see she is not standing on the ground. Nor is she holding the baby. In fact, the new baby is in mid-air also, upside down. What kind of madness is this?
So, I used "resetsim" and she floated slowly to the ground just like Criss Angel in one of his levitation acts and began to head into the house. But as you can see, (I know it may look as if the baby is in the middle of the road, but trust me, he is not), the baby was left floating in the air. At least he was right side up now.
Well, Grandma Rayne did not like this one bit and she decided to take action. She marched outside, bent her arms in a very unnatural, painful looking way, kind of backward but above her head and brought the baby down. Personally, I think she should have given her daughter-in-law a piece of her mind! But all seemed well after that.
If you have had glitches or funny moments like these, I'd love to hear about them!
