My Blog is Moving!



I am excited to announce that from this point forward, new updates to the Simdale Valley Post will be located at the new site,www.simdalevalleypost.blog!

In making this transition, I've tried to think about what is easiest for my readers, who I appreciate so much!  I am 99% sure that you don't have to log in to leave a comment on my new site. I have a spam filter, Akismet, and if spam does become an issue in the future, I may have to require log-in at that point.  If you do use WordPress or Gravatar, you'll be able to follow the site that way.  Or, you'll see a place to register to receive updates by email.   Please contact me using the links on the About Me page if you have any trouble following or leaving a comment, because I am still learning.  

A Regular Day was the last update that will be added to Blogger; it was also posted at the new site. This blog will remain here as it currently is, indefinitely, in case it is needed.  Blogger has been good, but for a while I've been thinking of switching to WordPress as a platform.    Once I took the leap, it didn't take long before I felt the change was worth the effort.  I hope you like it too, and it is easier for more readers to access.  

See you at the new site!

Take Me to the Moon 4.15: A Regular Day

Previous Chapter / Previous Post (Lot Tour) / Next Chapter:


I decided to queue up a short update for this week; then I decided to ramble on for a couple paragraphs BEFORE the update, making it a little longer!  Maybe I have villain tendencies, addicted to soliloquies.   

Maybe this shorter post will be a nice break from my usual very long posts!  (By the way, if you have an opinion about long or short posts, please vote in the sidebar; I appreciate feedback.)  I've noticed that lately, as I've become more attached to my sims, my posts have been more and more detailed, which might be off-putting to read.

In addition to the time-consuming preparations for Cacey and her family's reunion with Delaney and her family, many other important things taking place outside of Sims 4 are requiring my attention right now.  This is  one of my busiest season at work, it's my daughter's birthday :-), and next week I'm travelling for work.  All good things; all competing for those 24 hours a day.

But back to the Tesla Family!  Just before receiving word that Cacey was returning to my save file, this is what Delaney, Alexander, Ewan, Elise, and Eric were up to.



It was just a regular school day; Delaney had been away on her third mission to Sixam.  The kids were doing their homework together while Alexander fixed supper.  






Delaney returned from a space mission feeling very confident, and kissing followed.  Of course.  I love how the kids just take it in stride.






Alexander was feeling confident as well, and suavely returned her amorous advances.
