A How To; Sharing mystery patterns

Okay so I have been helping ZB decorate her house. Slight problem she has a patern I want and no idea where she got it. Solution? This easy walk through I used to help her send me the file instead of spending eons looking for it as she can't find it in her downloads. If it were there it's be the last two steps. I'm using media fire and she knows those steps so if this actualy helps anyone and you don't know how to work mediafire you can ask.

Step 1; CAS the wallpaper Just click the CAS tool in edit mode and on the wall paper. Change something small about one of the colors like the red flowers but let me know the color using the Hex code or the numbers above if it's easier. (Click on the button with the # on it then highlight the Hex and use control C to copy it.)

Step 2; save new coloring. (The folder with the arrow. )

 Step 3; click on the share option and when the next thing pops up name it. Then hit okay. (From here either minimize or close your game depending on if your launcher messes up your game play. Either way be sure and save the game just in case. I won't tell you how many times I've lost a game due to my stupidity.)

 Step 4; open launcher and go to uploads click on the pastern so it has a check mark. (This should be a simple click and click again issue.) 

Step 5; Click on "Show File" it'll pop up the folder it's saved on and will be highlighted for you. From there drag it to mediafire.  (It took me about 10 minutes due to I was also taking pictures. But I find this is a fast way to share a file with fellow simmers without hunting too much for it. I a CC addict would have added way more then needed looking for the pastern I want.)




Note; I would suggest you first attempt to find the file in your downloads option in launcher and follow the last two steps. But as this style sneaked in on something of hers I am having to do it the hard way, whiich is easier then hitting up the net looking for a file.

They aren’t dead. I swear!

Well sometime after my last update Michael decided he was ready to talk to me. I really really tried to ignore him and only outlining that small bit he was dealing with. Then between a couple friends Avanis & ZBornie I ended up working on my actual book and got distracted for a bit more. Time goes on. Suddenly one night I get three gigantic Michael flashes. They are epic I'll tell you that much. The only problem is that they don't exactly flow in the timeline I need them to. Great. Well one of these scene has expanded leading into another character's backstory and so on so on. I am gaming I am writing It's just going very very very slowly. I am sorry for my absence and I do want to get back to Bebe and her story so I can move on to the next chapter. However these chapters I am working on are important and I admit I'm having fun writing them. The difference between writing stories and writing for Sims is you tend to need pictures for the Sims and to take pictures you need to play Sims. I have also been messing with pose player along with other things and am happy to tell you I have several poses lined up for upcoming chapters. Just bear with me while I work on getting this story done. I feel it's finally coming to a stopping point and am dying to jump back into my game with Bebe. But I am also trying to use the momentum of this story to play it out as well.

New stuff coming soon!!!! I hope.

Okay so I just laid out the outline of what I need to get done for a few new posts. Part of it was I had a crazy week last week up till today I had no time to even think of sims, part of it was I was trying to figure out how everything was going to go down and realizing I can't control everything, part of it was I was in a creative mode which doesn't strike me often so I went with it and decorated a bit when I could sim. All this leads up to five minutes ago when I went I need to sketch an outline of what I have pics of what i need pics of and what needs to happen in game. I try very hard to keep the story close to my actual game, sometimes the game decides to not save or something horrid so I have pics of what happened, yet didn't happen type of deal. Any who I have at least three new stories outlined not including the big dance and I will be cheating for that. And the dance will be at least three stories all in itself. I've had several pics already done for ages. Okay I'm off to game. I hope to get the scenes done so I can start tying up loose ends and you get new stories. I tend to be hot and heavy and then very absent.

Part 9; Walking Into A Nightmare

Bebe ran upstairs past the two creepy men covered in tattoos. Past Judy who was chatting with them like there was all the time in the world to discus local gossip, and started pounding on her mom's bedroom door. It wouldn't budge.

"Mommy, mommy. You need to come out. Mommy!!!"

There was no response, but Bebe could hear her mother talking to herself. And that was good enough for Bebe. She called to Judy to get the men up her and do everything to break the door in.

It took all four of them several minutes, but finally they managed to get the door opened enough that Bebe could see her mother curled up in bed talking to one of her invisible friends. "Grim, will you love me forever? Will you?"

"Yes my darling, yes I will."

"Then I need to tell you something. I'm pregnant and it's yours."

Bebe had heard enough rambling from her mother. It was time to send her to the hospital, but it sounded as if she'd be okay. And that's all Bebe needed to know. That her mom would be alive.

Bebe slid through the small crack in the door and moved the dresser so the others could enter. The bed had been moved against the other door. Whatever happened here mother wanted to be sure no one could get to her.

"Give me a minute to talk to her okay?" Bebe asked the others. Judy nodded. "Mom, it's me. It's Bebe."

"I know who you are. Grimmy told me you'd come. But I told him I wanted him to stay with me. We're having a baby you see."

"I heard. I can't wait to meet my baby sister or brother. But now you need to go with a couple nice people to make sure you're okay. Do you remember what happened?"

"Daddy accused me of being a witch, said I had to get clean. While I was talking to the magic mirror he set the bathroom on fire. I jumped out of the window and put myself out. He stopped talking once I left. Then Grim came and saved me. Told me that I'd be safe here. That daddy would never hurt us again."

"Mom, daddy's gone, really gone. He'll never hurt you or me again, but now you need to go to the hospital. Okay mommy? You know Doctor Lock. She'll go there with you. These men are going to drive you there. I'll see you soon mommy."

"But Grimmy told me not to leave. I can't leave. Or Grimmy will never come back. Baby can't be daddyless."

It hurt Bebe knowing there was no such man, that her mother's delusions were increasing due to what happened. "Mommy, he'll come back. But you need to go with these people now. Okay?"

"Okay, Bebe. Mommy loves you." And with that she followed the men out the door with no resistance.

"Doctor Lock, is my mom going to be okay?"

"It's Judy, honey, and I don't know. The burns look very severe on her, and her mental state has deteriorated due to today's incident. For now I think it'll be safe to keep her hospitalized indefinitely. I'm sorry sweetie." Bebe received the hug feeling numb by this news. She was all alone. 

When Judy finally left Bebe broke down and sobbed.

Part 8; Harts on Fire

Dorie didn't even notice Gus enter the bathroom as she talked to the man in the mirror. He was a wise man who could predict the future and she was going have a good year. That's what the man said as Gus turned and yelled at her. She turned and saw the room was crammed with stuff from her kitchen and their stereo and her precious guitar.

"What are you doing to Maxine and Benji?" She yelled at him as he ducked and covered his ears.

"You're all going up in flames. Then you'll be clean."

"What did you..." She turned to leave but the fridge was blocking the door and a giant red light was blinking. 

Then it exploded in her face. Her words were morphed into screams as she caught on fire. She had to get out; the voices were all telling her that. She was going to die here is she didn't escape. But how the door was covered in flames. Then one voice spoke to her.

"The window. Jump through the window. I'll protect you." So she did, she ran past Gus who stood there still as ice despite he was on fire and jumped out the window. The whole room exploded right behind her. Gus screams echoed through the yard. But the only voice she heard was the man's voice telling her what to do. "Run upstairs and jump in the shower?" Was running a good idea? Shouldn't she go to the pool or lake or ocean? There was water there. "No Theodora, go upstairs. Now!"

She did as the voice told her. Once the flames were out a cool mist surrounded her and the burning stopped. "Now go to your room, but lock the bathroom door first."

"Okay."

"Move the dresser and block the door. And the chair and bed against the other door."

"I can't."

"You can. Do it."

She did as the voice told her and felt a surge of strength rush through her as she moved the furniture. She was exhausted at the end of it. "I'm so sleepy."
"Lay down my love. I'll come for you later."

 

~*~

 

He appeared, dressed in black, and summoned her downstairs. "I want you to see that I have taken care of him. That he'll never hurt you again."

He summoned her to him and kissed her. "My love come with me. It's time."

"Are you going to take me to Gus?"

"Nay, you won't see him ever again. Now come with me." They were suddenly in her bed, in her room as it was before. He took her then and kissed her. "I will show you the world."

Part 7; Bearer of Bad news

Judy knew then and there that despite Nikki's accusations and her own freak out that these two had not 'slept' together yet. But they were indeed getting very serious and she'd need to sit them down for a talk. No need to rush another life into the family quite yet. Maybe they should get a puppy first. She quickly changed into her uniform before heading to the car to wait on Bebe. She was smiling upon her arrival and Judy hated being the bearer of such bad news. 

As she turned the car on Judy spoke. "Bebe Honey, something has happened. Your father's dead, some sort of explosion. And your mom is locked away in her room."

There was no need to worry Bebe on the horrid details of the situation. But Bebe seemed to know. 'Dad went crazy didn't he?"

Judy's silence seemed to confirm it. "That's why I was at your place last night. Ethan asked me out to dinner after my shift at the bookstore. Daddy arrived at the restaurant. He was going crazy. Ethan had gone in to get our food right before daddy showed up. He was acting crazier than normal so I pulled him away from the majority of the people and stayed with him until we finished our dinner. Daddy seemed to realize I wasn't supposed to be there and went crazy accusing me of not caring and horrid things. He said if he caught me out with a guy he'd send me off to boarding school. Like we have the money for that?" She sniffled. 

"I tried my best to calm daddy down, but then he started calling me all these names and saying I was sleeping around with every boy and man in town and then he… He got creepy. I tried to take care of him and mom. I really did. But when he said those things to me. In public! I was mortified. I started running. I was halfway home when I realized I didn't feel safe there. I told Ethan I'd sleep on the couch, but he insisted I take the bed. I was still so worked up I didn't want to fall asleep on my own. I just wanted him to stay with me until I fell asleep. I never…. I mean we've never. I'm a virgin."

Judy squeezed Bebe's hand and chuckled softly. "I know dear. Mom instinct kicked in. I know Nikki is a handful, but when she said you and Ethan, well he's my little boy. I'm sorry you had to be put through so much. I wish I could do more then tell you you're welcomed anytime you want. But with the babies and the twins, Nikki and Ethan our house is chaos on a good day. Ethan does so much around the house. I don't think he knows how grateful we are. Nikki, well between the twins and her I'm always waiting on the police to call. I love all of them, but I can't add yet another child to my household. Not with the house already so full."

"I understand. I'm sorry and I swear nothing happened."

"I know sweetie," Judy said as they reached the house. Two men in white scrubs were standing outside chatting up a storm.

"Yo, doc. Where have you been? We've missed you the last few months."

"Maternity leave, Sammy. Vane, how's the girlfriend?"

Vane laughed dryly. "Gone. Found her in bed with….Oh hi." He seemed to just notice Bebe. "Well she's no more. Now how are we going to do this? It sounds like the woman in there is bat-shit…"

"This is Bebe Hart, their daughter." Judy interrupted. "I think between her and I we can get her out of the room. Bebe do you think you can handle this?"

"I think so," Bebe sighed. She feared what was to come. But she had to be strong.

Part 6; Wakeup Call

Judy had been awake for several hours tending to the triplets.

She had just set the plate of pancakes down when her phone rang.

The babies had all fallen back asleep and she didn't want to wake them. But who'd be calling at 4:30 in the morning?

"Doctor Lock? A man's voice spoke before she could address herself.

"This is her. Who is this?"

"My name's Chris Steel. I'm neighbors with the Hart family. There's been an issue. And I was told you were the one to contact."

"What sort of issue?" The Harts were a special case in town. And she was the only doctor qualified to handle them. There went her nap before the triplets woke up.

"It appears as if there was a large explosion in the downstairs bathroom. From what the Detective told me Gus is dead. I saw him last night and even for Gus he looked as if he'd lost the last of his marbles.

"Is that her?" Someone in the background barked.

"Yes, Detective, I was just…" Static hit Judy's ear as Detective Clavell, as it couldn't be any other with that attitude, grabbed the phone.

"Doc you need to get her ASAP. It's confirmed Gus is dead and Dorie's barricaded herself in their room. She won't let anyone in but she's lucid. Well lucid for her state. From what we gather Gus tried to kill her. She managed to escape, but now she won't leave her room. We need you. Now!"

"I'm on my way Detective, but what of Bebe? Is she alright? Was she hurt?" Judy knew Ethan was dating her, and from what Judy could see Bebe was a good girl who was forced to live in a horrible situation.

"She wasn't there when the firemen cleared the house, unless she's locked in the room with her mother. But from what we gather Dorie's alone.

"Thank you." Her heart went out to Bebe as she hung up the phone. The poor girl continued to get dealt bad cards. Judy went to wake up the twins before she had to leave. Before she made it up stairs Nikki walked out of the downstairs bathroom wearing the same outfit she had on yesterday. Judy didn't have the time to deal with Nikki's behavior problems. She would deal with it later. "Have you seen your brother this morning?"

"He's probably doing the nasty with Psycho Chick. She came here as I got home from work. You were already asleep but dad said it was cool." Nikki left out the part where she decided to ditch the kumbaya family moment and go hang with VJ. Now that was a fun night even if she was tired as hell.

Doing the nasty? Psycho chick? Dad said it was cool? Too many questions ran through Judy's mind as she ran up the stairs to Ethan's room.

There he was sound asleep. Only he wasn't alone. Bebe Hart was sleeping beside him. Judy stood there stunned. Hadn't she taught him good values? Didn't he have enough siblings to know the basics of boy + girl= babies? 

Judy yelled at the top of her lungs. This wasn't the proper time to be freaking out, but after just giving birth to three babies she was tight on sanity herself.

"WHAT. DO. YOU. THINK. YOU'RE. DOING. WITH. MY. SON?"

Ethan was the first to jump out of bed. "Mom, mom, it's my fault. Really and nothing happened."

Bebe was right behind him on explanations and excuses. Babbling on how her father threatened her last night and she got scared and ran here. And…. 

Judy's mind halted at that. Bebe's father was dead. And her mother was in critical condition and could die if she didn't get her to the hospital soon. If Bebe did sleep with Ethan last night it was the least of he r problems.

"Bebe, I need to take you home now."

"But, my dad. He…"

"No sweetie, you need to go home now. I'll explain on the way."

"But…"

"No more buts. Ethan there's pancakes downstairs. Make sure the twins are ready for school and don't be late. I'll talk to you later. Now get dressed Bebe, I'll meet you in the car."

Ethan let Bebe changed in the bathroom before he had his morning shower and got the twins ready. 
When she came out barefoot he made sure to stop her, giving her a quick kiss. "I'm sorry about last night and this morning. I really did mean to sleep downstairs. You just looked so peaceful."

"It's fine. I actually haven't slept that well in a long time." She said putting her shoes on

"Bebe, look there's something I've been meaning to ask you, but stuff keeps happening and I don't want to wait to ask. Willyougotothespringformalwithme?"

"What?"

"I mean if you don't want to I guess that's okay.

"Ethan!" She interrupted, "What did you say?"

For someone who could smooth talk almost anyone Ethan seemed to be tongue tied with Bebe. He tried again. Will you… will you go to the spring formal with me?"

She gave him a quick kiss, "Of course I will silly. Just don't do anything than might embarrass me." He blushed.

"I'll try not to." She kissed him again.

"Silly, I'm teasing." 

He pulled her tight giving her a long kiss which left them spinning and her on the opposite side. 

"Now go before mom comes back." He gave her a quick embrace, "Bebe I uh.... Have a good day. I'll see you at school." Then he went to take an ice shower.
