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.

Bancrofts Part Four: College and a Catch-Up

Last time we saw the Bancrofts, eldest twins Madison and Michael had just headed off to college. Madison chose the Mathematics major. I moved her into a small dorm with a group of other "fundie" Sims. As I'd created them, they were all controllable; I soon realised that this was too much so I moved Madison out after her first semester. (Two semesters per "year", four "years". Each semester lasts 3 game days/72 game hours). This is Madison coming back with fellow math major Mary Cole. T

Smiths Part Three: Yup, More Twins

We start off with a picture of Eddie on a toddler tablet. There are five toddler skills in Sims 4, four of which can be learnt using the tablet; Communication, Imagination, Movement and Thinking (the other being Potty). I know Imagination and Thinking seem incongruous with a fundie family, but they apply to all toddlers, so... they lead to faster gains in the appropriate child skill, i.e. communication leads to child social, imagination to child creativity, movement to child motor and thinking t

Boo hiss to crackly audio.

So the audio is still fairly crackly in Sims 3. It's not all the time, but it's enough that it's irritating. Sims 2 and 4 are fine. My audio drivers seem to be up-to-date. So, for now, I won't be playing the Taylor family. I managed to get Bethany and Christopher to age into Children. But for now I'll be focusing on the Bancrofts and the Smiths. Sucks, but it happens sometimes. And 2 out of 3 games isn't bad.

Smiths Part Two: MOAR BAYBEEZ

So the last time we saw the Smiths (Sims 4) they had just two kids. Surprise surprise there are MORE! We start off with a random photo. When Sims are Energized they will randomly do sit-ups or push-ups wherever they are. He then decides to go jogging. After all, fundies are often into fitness. Sims 4 Get to Work introduces the Baking skill. There are three related cooking skills: Cooking, Gourmet Cooking and Baking. You can cook recipes using the oven and the cupcake f

Bonus Post: The Eastleys

I haven't been playing my fundie families much lately. I thought I'd do a general overview post on the Eastley family. Saskia Eastley (nee Pinkerton-Jones) started off as a Young Adult at University of Sapphire Springs. I decided to make a really posh dorm, each room having an ensuite, and full of expensive furniture, just for the lolz. Saskia moved in with Jessica Parker-Smythe and Louisa d'Armigny. Saskia's the redhead, Jessica's the blonde and Louisa is in all-black. Jessica a

Bancrofts Part Three: Let The Good Times Roll

First of all: NO MORE TODDLERS! Second: Madison and Michael have moved to college! Madison lives in an all-girls dorm with four others who are all like her; long skirts etc. She's a Mathematics major; I figured she should do a fairly academic subject rather than something potentially "iffy" like Art or Drama or Philosophy (fundies THINKING! *gasp*) which her family probably wouldn't look too well upon. OK. Let's GO! First up: Martin took a "missioncation" to Twiikii Island with Madison

Quick Update

I’ve mostly been playing the Bancrofts today. Karen and Martin are slowly adjusting to life with six children. As of my last save (when I quit the game) there are now two Teens, two Children and two Toddlers. Martin took the three eldest on a “missioncation” to Twiikii Island, except in typical fundie style they didn’t get much mission work done. Just a brief reminder of the kids: Madison and Michael are the Teens (twins), Max and Mason are the Children (not twins), and Matthew and Martha are th

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

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

Unsure what to do

After I stopped playing with the Taylors the other day, I went to bed. Next time I tried loading Sims 2, the graphics had gone weird. The texture of the grass in the Sapphire Springs neighbourhood looked off, and then when I tried to make a new community lot the build/buy grid kept disppearing whenever I moved the mouse. Sims 3 was similarly fucked; the graphics settings had seemingly changed by themselves. After changing them back to how they were, suddenly the sound was crackly during the load

Taylors Part Two: One Child, Two Toddlers, Three Babies

We start off with a sweet photo of Andrew in his highchair. I love toddler faces in this game! Here we have a perfect tool for fundie Sims: the Head Start Playpen (Sims 3 Store). Bung your child in and she/he can teach themselves to talk. Parent doesn't have to bother. Win win! Joey was a self-employed gardener, so he dropped off some produce at the grocery store. I say "was" because there wasn't much money so he joined the Science track instead, which emphasises Gardening

Bancrofts Part Two - Private School, Parenting and (Sort-Of) Permanent Bliss

I take a lot of photos with the Bancrofts. And because I've had issues lately with exiting without saving, it's hard for me to tell which photos are which. So some of these will be all over the place. Here is Madison as a child. The dress is from Mod the Sims. I've never been much of a mod/CC user as I tend to be wary of fucking up my game but I know Mod the Sims is a trusted site. We also have Michael. These photos are from the old house. I decided to get Martin to ring up the H

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 Week One: Instruments and Gardens and Babies

This couple is Melissa and Joey Taylor. Melissa wants to master all the music skills, and Joey wants to raise five children from babies to toddlers. Obviously he'll end up having more than this, but it's a start. They live in Appaloosa Plains. I tend to use this house in Pomona Promenade for my fundie families as it's big and cheap, with potential for expansion. You'll notice the stairs behind Melissa in the first photo; downstairs is the basement music room and upstairs are the children's rooms

Bancrofts Week One: Babies, Jobs, Lesbians

Here we have Martin and Karen Bancroft. They've just moved into a house in Sapphire Springs. What they don't know is that Sapphire Springs is for the so-called "odds-and-sods" of society, people who don't fit into the man-woman-two children model of family life. They were told Sapphire Springs was good for raising families. Which, as wannabe Quiverfullers, is their dream. Obviously, their first objective is to, ahem, use the marital bed. Sadly, we didn't get to hear that chime, so to speed

Slightly New Direction

I know I haven't updated in a while, but I hadn't had much inspiration. HOWEVER, I thought of something recently. Rebecca"discovers" a "new" fundie blog. This is of a fictitious family ofc. The fictitious family (Bakers) lives in a town near Rebecca. Their oldest daughter, Mary, is 22 and courting, and their youngest daughter, Emily, is seven months. The kids all have Biblical names; Emily isn't Biblical but it's a traditional name anyway (they felt 'led' to use an E name) and her midd

Wa-La Diner, Part Two

“Well, I recently began a courtship,” she said, the pitch of her voice increasing. “Oh, just like my daughter here,” I said, pointing to Faye. “Well, I’ll be sure to pray for you.” “Thank you!” said Grace. “What would like for your main course?” “I will have the Tater Tot Casserole,” I replied. “Jessica?” “I’ll go for the Chickenetti,” Jessica replied. “And you, young man?” Grace asked Charlie. “Oh… umm… I’ll have a burrito, please,” Charlie said. “And I will h

Wa-La Diner, Part One

A while ago we came up with ideas for a potential fundie-themed restaurant. I decided to write a story featuring the Masons and a visit to said restaurant. Families are referred to, although not by name. “Mom. Mom. Have you seen what’s in the newspaper?” Faye was running into the living room, waving a copy of our local paper wildly. “No, you’ve been reading it all morning. What?” “There’s a new restaurant opening. It’s called Wa-La Diner and it’s run by a fundamentalist Chri

County Fair, Summer 1999

In this part we're introduced properly to Rebecca's friend Sandra, and her daughters Annie and Marissa are also mentioned. It was a hot summer day. Sandra and I had arranged to go to the County Fair together, not least because I had never been. “Jessica! Come downstairs, please!” My oldest daughter, Jessica, came running. Her blonde hair was tied in bunches decorated with pink ribbon bows that matched her pink t-shirt. “Jessica, how many times have I told you not to run down

An Introduction (second part)

This follows on from part one. Back in the present, I received a Facebook message from Jessica. It was a photo of her and an off-white cocktail. I guessed from the wedge of pineapple on the rim of the glass that it was a piña colada. She was revelling in the fact that she could drink alcohol now, but I knew she was a sensible girl. Even if she did get drunk, hopefully it would be a lesson learned. That was normal young adult behaviour, after all. (I certainly recalled getting drunk at a fr

An Introduction (first part)

It was a peaceful Wednesday afternoon, and for once I was on my own in the house. My twenty-one-year-old daughter Jessica was on holiday with four of her friends in Hawaii. My nineteen-year-old other daughter Faye was in Wichita with her boyfriend. They had jam-packed social lives, but also enjoyed spending time with me and my husband. I was idly flicking through the television channels. I reflected upon the fact that, no matter where you lived, programme choices during the day were always

  Wishing I had a dollar for every time I burped on my back porch after dark and set off a neighbor's dog. The best part is that I'm sure everyone think it's my BF and not me, because it's surely not possible such a huge noise could come out of my body.
