About this blog

I’ve been a Sims fan for a long time, and I’ve always been a fan of creating big families and trying to control them all. So, what better way to do this than play a fundie family? 

This blog contains various fundie families and their stories, from Sims 2, 3 and 4. There are also some non-fundie Sim families included. It also has a few of my short stories, entirely non-Sims related, about a normal family who encounters some of our beloved (ahem) fundies in various situations, including at Wa-La Diner.

Williams Family Part Five: We're Gonna Need An Extension

At the end of Part 4, Lisa had just given birth to baby #5, Andrew. *** As space was now rather at a premium, we purchased a bunk bed for the girls' room.  My garden plants needed weeding, so I got going that evening whilst whistling my favourite hymn. Once all the older children had gone off to school... Success! Baby #6 was on the way! Meanwhile, little Andrew became a toddler. We love you, Andrew! Baby #6 turned out to be... ano

The Whittakers Part 3: Cones of Shame

The Whittakers have a pretty big garden, and I've got a few catnip plants (you can't plant catnip in previous iterations of The Sims, only catnip toys). Here's Julia feeding Olly some homegrown catnip. I decided it was time to get the cats spayed/neutered. Lily was first up! She went into a special machine to have it done. She came out with a cone of shame. Poor kitty.  Thankfully the cone didn't last long! Little James decided he wanted to pet the cute kitty.

The Whittakers Part 2: Expanding the Household

Last time we saw the Whittakers, it was late on Love Day. They managed all their traditions! This can be what happens when you eat ice cream... brain freeze! Uh oh, looks like Lily's frightened of the toilet. Poor kitty. Julia got pregnant!  This is the standard microscope in Sims 4... pretty huge! She needed to build some Fitness skill for work, so I sent her to the Movers and Shakers gym. This lot comes with a trainer, and you get a special mood

Same Game, Different Laptop: The Whittakers

So my laptop went stupid, again. I think the battery needs replacing. My mum kindly lent me her laptop (which she doesn't really use) and I downloaded Origin/Sims 4. My first port of call was to create the Whittakers! The little family consists of Mark and Julia and their kitten, Lily, who's a calico. Julia is a Nerd Brain, which involves becoming very good at Logic and Handiness. She also enjoys video games! But where's Lily....? She's so teeny! Unlike

The Sinclairs, Part Five: A Potential Courtship

Anna had recently heard of a family who lived in Windenburg and had several children. She decided to form a Youth Fellowship Club so she could get to know them better.  "Hello, my name's Anna Sinclair," she said. "Hi, I'm Thomas Barker," said the guy with a green jacket. "These two are Samuel and Jessica. We're triplets." "Triplets? Wow," Anna replied.  "Yeah, it was pretty difficult for my parents when we were little," Thomas explained. "But obviously we can take care of our

PRAISE RUFUS!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!!

SIMS 2 AND 3 ARE WORKING AGAIN!!! Not sure why Sims 2 was fucked. I disabled a mod I had, and it seemed fine after that, so I assume that might be why. It had been working fine beforehand with the mod, but games can fuck up sometimes. Sims 3 was more complex. I looked it up, did a lot of what internet forums said, made sure it was fully updated via Origin... PRAISE RUFUS it's working again.  So YAAAAAYYYYYYYY! Soon I can do updates on the Bancrofts and the Taylors. And I've now go

NEW Family! Introducing the Williams Family, Sims 4

Yep, I decided to start another fundie Sims family, because I haven't done one in a while. I have quite a few fun/useful bits of CC I can use, as well as a couple of mods.  So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Lisa Williams and her lovely, Godly hubby, Michael. Both have the "Big Happy Family" aspiration. Lisa is demonstrating a very useful bit of CC I found - the accessory top! Now I have access to a much wider variety of clothing, as long as I use the fundie-approved acce

Bancrofts Part Nine: The One with the Mass Drop-Out (Plus a Wedding)

I may have said this before, but I actually find the University aspect pretty boring. It just becomes this cycle of eat, sleep, go to class, study that is repetitive and boring. There are so many Bancroft kids that it's hard to keep up.  So, with this in mind, I instigated a mass drop-out.  I decided to check in with the college-student Bancrofts. In the big house was Max, Mason, Martha, Matthew, Mark and Morgan. Max was close to graduating, so I decided to let him. Like Madison and Mi

Wa-La Diner Revisited, Part Two: The Meal

"Dude... what is up with all these random lace doilies..." Marissa wondered aloud.  Annie explained. "She sounds nuts," Marissa said. "Oh, that's only the surface," Faye replied drily. Anna returned, with a sheaf of menus. As she walked away again, I noticed that she had a silver ring on her left hand. "Big Salad?" Marissa asked. "Garnished with raw egg dressing," Annie said. Marissa gagged. "Seriously?" she exclaimed. She glanced at the menu with a look of dis

Curse of the Bancrofts??

I’m kinda starting to think that the Bancrofts may be cursed/unlucky with God. First there was the incident I mentioned in a comment on their first entry: Christmas tree caught fire, as did Karen, had to exit without saving so she didn’t die. Second: I restarted the family, played for a bit before it randomly froze. As in time stopped, as did the family. You could click on stuff but nothing happened. Moved them into a new house. Third: they now have four kids: Madison, Michael, Ma

Taylors Part Ten: Introducing Bethany Wilson

Trying to keep tabs on multiple families isn't the easiest task! Bob knows that red roses are a solid romantic gesture. "Bethany, you are such a beautiful, Godly young woman..." "... will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" Front hugs a go-go!! Popping back over to the mothership, where little Hannah had aged up. I changed her outfit. Then we go to Andrew's house. Time for the twins to age up! Here's Molly!

Williams Family Part Seven: A New Season of Life... No More Babies or Toddlers

At the end of the last part, Lisa had recently given birth to twin girls, Bethany and Susanna. *** Rebecca is such a helpful young lady! Being able to cook will stand her in great stead when it comes to marriage and having children. I know my athletics outfit isn't the most modest, hence why I exercise indoors. The twins are such sweet blessings! It can be difficult looking after the two of them, but I know God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. Bethany's in

Williams Family Part Four: They Just Keep Coming

Having been blessed with four pregnancies so far, I had gained a little weight. I also hadn't had much time to exercise and keep fit, so I decided to have a go on the treadmill. Household chores aren't just for girls you know! Elizabeth had made a bit of a mess with the potty, and Joseph decided to clean it up. Such a good kid! As our kids were going to public school, we naturally required that they worked hard and did their homework.  And... baby #5 was on its w

Parkers Part Ten: Chloe Goes to University!

The first photo of the last post involved Calvin and an unfortunate bladder accident. This first photo is better... it's his birthday! Chris continues his plan of befriending as many inhabitants of Appaloosa Plains as he can. Perhaps if he dazzles them with his amazing charisma, they won't really notice his larger-than-normal family or conservative beliefs. Here's Calvin as a teen.  Amanda actually does some parenting! Caleb and Calvin are NOT impresse

Parkers Part Nine: Chris the Celebrity

We start off with a rather unfortunate situation... Calvin peed himself. Whoops. I changed Clara and Connie's outfits, to a t-shirt and skirt combo. Awww, baby snuggles! The kitchen was kind of gross, so sister-mom-helper Chloe stepped in. Ya gotta pay the bills! This is also the 2000th screenshot in my Sims 3 album. I bought the girls a kids' oven (forgetting that there were already two in the family inventory) and Connie approved.

Sims 4: Factory Reset

So I got Cats and Dogs, plus My First Pet Stuff. Which screwed up my game big time, it just wouldn’t load. Ugh. So I made a backup, and did the factory reset. Game is now fine. I decided that I wanted to start over completely, like I’d just bought the game and expansions etc, without any of the previous saves. So, my previous games don’t exist in this version, and I’ll be starting afresh with a new family.

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things: The Powells

So I've been absent for a while!! Life got in the way, really, and I didn't play The Sims for ages.  I'll be posting on this blog more often, but there'll be some changes. Namely, I think I'll be abandoning the Taylor family. It was a mistake making them Fairies - Joey and Melissa were becoming grandparents whilst still Young Adults (due to YA and A lifespans being 105 days instead of 21) and it just wasn't particularly realistic. So I think I'll start another 'fundie' family, but as n

I GOT SIMS 3 TO WORK AGAIN *dances*

When in doubt, uninstall and reinstall. Thankfully I have it on Origin, so no need to faff around with multiple discs and serial codes. And, because it was on Origin, I still had my original Sims 3 fundie family, the Taylors (remember them?) Only issue is that the audio is still dodgy, so I have to mute all the sound, but that's fairly minor really. It feels odd to be playing it again after such a long break, though. I may get into these guys again, or just create a whole new save game.

Smiths Part Eleven: OK, It's Mostly Pearsons...

Seasons! With this you get two new outfit categories, Hot Weather and Cold Weather. Here's little Adam Pearson in his cold-weather gear: And here's Mommy: Eliza's Hot Weather outfit includes cool shades. Only issue is, Sims wear their outfit both indoors and out... which leads to this. Further proof that Emily is slowly ditching her upbringing... VEST TOP. SHORTS. SHORTS. THAT SHOW. KNEE. *faints* Jobs require daily tasks. You don't technically have to

Wa-La Diner Revisited, Part Three: Close Encounters of the Fundie Kind

The Taylors finished their nasal singing at around the same time as we finished our main course. I could feel the grease around my mouth.  "Christ on a cracker, fundies eat this stuff all the time?" Marissa asked, wiping her mouth with a paper napkin. "Not all of them, some are very into healthy eating," Annie replied.  "Dessert, anyone?" I asked. "Yeah, why not," Faye said. "It's not that bad, actually," she added, mainly for Annie and Marissa's benefit. Anna came back.

How to Ruin a Restaurant's Atmosphere

This is a non fundie family, the Farnleys. Consists of Anna and Matt, their adopted daughter Cassia, and their bio twin daughters Alicia and Maddie.  Anna owns a restaurant, which is moderately successful. She's there at the moment. An elderly couple arrived, she greeted them. Suddenly, the male Sim got up... and DIED. Right there, in a corner of the restaurant. DUN DUN DUN Grim Reaper appears. I gave the post this title because the restaurant has always had a good ambiance ratin

They're Married!!!

The title is self explanatory... I've been mostly playing with the Bancrofts, mainly because I had the marriage storyline for Michael and I wanted to get that done and dusted before going to the Smiths.  Here's a photo of that all-important moment... THE FIRST KISS!!! I'll cover things properly later.  Madison has *temporarily* moved back into her parents' home, mainly for accountability reasons. Yes, I had moved Michael and Mary into the same house before marriage, but

Brief Bancroft Update

Madison and Michael are now Seniors in college! They’ve managed to maintain their 4.0 GPA. And... Michael has a girlfriend! It’s Madison’s friend, Mary Cole. They have gone on an unchaperoned date *le gasp* but I decided that, since I am essentially God in this game, I can be their chaperone (in a sense). Plus you can only really have a “date” with one person. I suppose they could go on an outing with some friends and just do romantic interactions... It’s still early days, though.  You can

Bancrofts Part Five: Ten Kids... ACHIEVED.

With that title, I think y'all can guess what happens here!! We start off briefly in Madison's place in college. She decided to invite her brother and his friends over. Ever the young Godly helpmeet, Madison makes the food. Madison maxed her Creativity! Selling paintings is a good way of making money for young fundie Sim women who won't get jobs. ***NIKE ALERT!*** Madison was on the toilet and... erm... WTF ARE YOU DOING MAX??? Originally, Madison, Mary and Lot

Smiths Part One: Third Time Lucky

Yeah, I was always going to, let's be honest...  This fundie couple is Edward and Nicole Smith. They live in Oasis Springs. I used the freerealestate cheat to blag them a big house. Yes, that IS a TV, but they ONLY use it for educational purposes. You know what's coming.... time to test the bed! Sims 4 is different in that you don't hear a chime, you take a pregnancy test instead. Sadly, that first act of sweet fellowship did not result in a pregnancy. I then

      Went here tonight for dinner

      They have a kind of Juicy Lucy called the Blucy - which is a type of Juicy Lucy with blu cheese.  When my mom, sister, brother in law, and niece were up last weekend we went to the 42nd street location in Minneapolis.  Tonight I went to the Como Ave location instead.  Yeah, it hit the spot.
