With a few hours to spare before Mase and Zoe’s wedding, I step out of the house to enjoy a long jog. The only thing I miss about country living is the cool, crisp morning air, so I’ll enjoy as much of it as possible while here. Shortly after Dub has left for his jog,…
Help me say goodbye to the oldest Brown Triplet, Jalin Brown (ATC Part 13 | Banks Days 43.4)**. Jalin started a media company with his high school friend and enjoyed many successes. He didn’t play a huge part in the later chapters of the Banks Dynasty, but he was the one who influenced Dub to…
With Dub and Tami gone to Windenburg, Maia and her father celebrate her birthday traditionally…at their favorite barbeque spot in the city. Maia checks in with the host to grab a table. Host: And are you celebrating anything today? Maia: Well… yeah, it’s actually my birthday. Host: Happy birthday, let me show you to your…
Me-Me and Kai’s plan for celebrating Tambara’s birthday is to invite cousin Terra’s children to join them on a trip to the play castle that recently opened up in nearby Windenburg. Since Tambara has never met these distant cousins, they figure it would be the perfect chance to introduce her to them while giving her…
I had every intention of posting new Banks Dynasty updates this week. But while writing the latest updates, I realized I needed to provide some background information on recent additions to the family that I never told ya’ll about. My long-term readers might remember one of my favorite sims, Prosperity (Dub’s grandmother) from Generation 2….
Maia has some news for me as soon as we wake up the following day. Maia: I’m not going to Henford with you and Tami today. But I’ll still try to make it to Mase’s wedding tomorrow. Wade: What do you mean? Why not? Everyone is looking forward to seeing you. Maia: And I’d love…
Tambara: Did my grandma like to play? Clyde: Play? With, like, what, toys? No, playing wasn’t her thing. But she liked to cook. We never had money, but if anyone ever visited the house—she insisted on feeding them. Maia doesn’t remember that about her mother, but maybe that’s where she got her love of cooking….
Familiar meowing coming from downstairs awakens Tambara. She jumps out of bed and hurries down, excited because it can only be her beloved cat, Luna. Sure enough, Luna is standing there—dirty and smelly, as if she’s been through hell and back. Tambara: *scolding tone* You silly, silly cat! Don’t leave again without telling me! Tami’s…
We arrive at the local rec center. I have on my stuffy knight’s helmet, with my breath bouncing back on me… making me wish I had refreshed it with some toothpaste before leaving. We see another little girl, with her father, dressed in the same costume as Tami’s. Tami greets her. Tambara: Hi! Are you…
Maia and Tambara return home from their day at the salon with fresh braids and pretty nails. They can’t resist a selfie or two. Tambara: *taking a selfie* I look like a big girl, mommy. Maia: You are a big girl. Maia pulls out her phone. Maia: Say cheese, Tami! Tambara: Cheese? Why? Maia: It’s…
