It is clear that this is all going to take some time for Fabio. All changes have happened at high speed.
I am sure that Rasmus will become a very good stepfather. He is a good and positive guy and he has found a woman who feels good about who she is. Someone who appreciates what he has to give.

Elijah has a very winning nature and he makes other Sims flourish. Fatima became very stylish indeed.
I’m still a little unsure about what secrets Elijah is hiding.

Allan attaches importance to his honor and wants to bear responsibility, but he has had the wrong tools until now. If he’s going to be able to accept wisdom from others, then it has to come from a man he looks up to and doesn’t dare contradict. There’s a big difference between a leader and a boss.

It was so surprising and sweet that Fie found Tusnelda on the beach ❤

Don is a big mess, even though he’d say otherwise. Can you say that he and Rasmus have switched roles? Maybe not completely, but still.

It’s really been a while since we’ve seen Don and Rasmus together. Hopefully they’ll have a moment to catch up soon. Rasmus has a lot of news to tell him!

Elijah hanging the pictures of Jade in her underwear on the wall is… well, he’s a professional photographer, but knowing that underwear doesn’t fit the advertisement anyway and then hanging them without Jade’s knowing/permission really rubs me the wrong way =l he sure seems to be mixing business and pleasure there.

Aww, okay, Elijah gets some big points back there. I love how he helped Fatima to feel good about herself and her own looks. He’s right; she looks like an amazingly sophisticated woman against that background =D

Yeeeeees she said yes! Congratulations to Rasmus and Izumi! Looks like he got his happy ending – though in many ways it’s not an ending at all, but a happy beginning. Rasmus asking Izumi if he should buy Fabio a ring made me laugh. I have good memories of my own stepdad marrying my mum. At the time, he actually came to ask me for permission. He probably still would’ve married her even if I said no. But the gesture meant so much to me as a kid and I still have a great relationship with him even now. I bet Rasmus will be a great stepdad to Fabio. <3

This is the first time we’ve seen Allan at work around his superiors, isn’t it? I’m deeply impressed with the Grand Marshal for diffusing the situation so effectively. He not only saw the problem, but also the flaws in Allan AND knew exactly what to say to get through to him. That takes real people-skills. I really hope Allan takes that yoga lesson to heart and grows through it as a person. Maybe there is still hope, indeed!

And aww, I love that Fie found Tusnelda and she brought her safely back to Rasmus’s house. It isn’t just Fabio that is still adjusting, I’m sure.

Suuuuure, Don. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. Pffft. xD

Thank you cathytea
I love adding that layer to Allans development ❤

I know I’m letting Allan go through a realization and transformation in one day that would normally take months. His nature is still hot-headed and jealous, but he has found a mentor in the Grand Marshal whom he not can/dare to contradict.

Fabio requires some time to adjust to his new reality. He likes Rasmus, but he is in a rebellious phase right now.

It was so much fun giving Fatima a makeover. I think it’s especially interesting to dress up Sims who don’t have the ‘perfect’ body shape. I definitely want to experiment more with her attire.

I often find it fun to let the camera follow the cats in the game. Fie suddenly went on an excursion and to my surprise she ran straight into Tusnelda ❤

I know that Fabio thinks Rasmus is okay, but he seems to be struggling at least a little with adjusting to all of the changes, so I hope that he’ll be happy about a proposal and marriage.

I was secretly rooting for Fatima to be picked by Elijah for a photo shoot. Her photos turned out great!

Fie and Tusnelda’s reunion. <3
