​What’s happening in the story right now?

→ We are currently building Skyler's adventures. She has established four rescue centers for neglected pets she saved during our live sessions, and viewers have already witnessed around 10 live rescue missions. Each live follows a daily routine while gradually revealing new events, new locations, surprises, and hidden secrets. Skyler’s wardrobe changes daily, adding a fresh and dynamic element to the story.

She is also engaging in spellcaster activities and runs a restaurant, laundromat, and retail store where she sells potions, baked goods, and other specialty items. Additionally, she sells photographs of her dogs in museums to fund the shelters and support her staff. Skyler has diverse hobbies, a boyfriend (they do not live together yet), and her mother belongs to a vampire lineage, a secret that remains hidden.

On the human side, Skyler is helping Russ, a homeless woman overcoming addiction. Russ recently discovered her estranged family, and Skyler is assisting in reuniting them. Her family is financially struggling, so Skyler is planning to build a home for them. Russ’s niece and nephew are currently under Skyler’s care until Russ completes rehab. She also ensures that Russ’s parents receive proper healthcare and support, her mother battles cancer, and her father suffers from pneumonia.

The story continues to unfold, with magic, chaos, and unexpected developments keeping the journey immersive and engaging.

It’s also a good idea to backup your saves before adding new mods.

  • Businesses & Hobbies – is another one of my favorite packs. I love this pack because it lets my Sims run small businesses, teach courses, manage customers, and turn skills into income. It’s how Skyler funds her rescue centers, owns a laundromat, and builds a real community. You can set opening hours, prices, and rules, create multiple businesses under one Sim, build a pottery studio, and if you own the Spa Day pack, you can even run a yoga studio, a spa & wellness center💛

She even sells extra items during yard sales, the yard sale tables come with packs like City Living, Eco Lifestyle, letting you place a table and sell items to visiting Sims.
