My #TheSims4 save file has a weird thing going on where even though I put down flooring and have the option to "remove floor/ceiling", the floors/ceilings are not showing up as I build the lot. Has anyone else seen this and know what it may mean?

Today feels more like winter with freezing temps and snow flurries. But last weekend autumn was autumning here.

I wanted to make photos while I traveled to and from my violin student's home, but I didn’t want the extra weight of my DSLR. Instead, I made the most of my phone's camera. It doesn't give me as much control over depth of field, but I like how this shot came out.

Mckinley is dealing with PPD after the first of her second child, Trevon. Thank goodness Grandpa Asante is good with both kids so Mckinley never has to worry about childcare on her bad days.

Phillip MatrixHobbs is Santos and Mckinley's firstborn, and he is a mermaid! I was hoping for a girl, but Phillip's twin first cousins fill the bill. It'll be fun watching those three grow up together. #TheSims4

Santos and Mckinley are expecting their first child. Santos is a bit of a late bloomer: he is nearly out of young adulthood before having his first serious relationship. Soon his childhood home will be full of baby noise again! #TheSims4

This remote beachfront loft located in a more expensive part of Sulani gradually fell into disrepair. The new owners built two modest townhomes on the lot. Though dated, the spot is still a peaceful place to dwell.
