Beatrice continued to spend a lot of time, apparently in regret, for the way she had treated her mom, Maddi.

Simdale Valley Update: Ono Family First to Move to Sims 4

Sayuri Ono is 51; Daniel Ono is 46; Seiki Ono is 21; Yuki Ono is 12.  Ono Family Profile  (Profiles have been updated with Sims 4 info)


Seiki's Previous Update / Ono Family Previous Update

This is a mini-update.


This is the neighborhood (open world segment) that the Ono's live in.  The green house in the foreground is the only house I left standing, that shipped with the game.  It looked a lot like the Endeavor's house did in Sims 2, and I loved the placement right next to the children's park (as it was in Sims 2).  It's fun to imagine Simone taking Sienna and Charlotte out to the park.   I renovated the interior and a little bit to the exterior front.

Across from the Endeavors (next to the Ono's) I will probably build Laney and Declan's house.  There is a community garden behind that lot.  The last lot, I currently plan to be the location of Simdale Valley Church (and graveyard).  I will probably wait a bit to see if graveyards are added to the game before building it.


The Ono's are the first family to make the move from Sims 2 to Sims 4.  Their house is pretty close to the way it looked before; except before it sat on a bluff overlooking Port Prominence Bay.  In this world, the commercial area and one residential lot overlook Port Prominence Bay and the other homes are on rivers or canals.

One of the proposed expansions (in the survey that was circulated by EA)  would allow players to customize their worlds more.  That's one I most hope is made reality eventually.

Take Me to the Moon 2.7: A Little Bit of Each Other

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter




"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere."  Tim McGraw


From the outside, everything looked idyllic and peaceful at the Tesla home.




But inside, the situation was  not fairy-tale worthy.  (Evil witch forced to wash large piles of dishes: not by the book.)
