I've had this idea in mind for a while, but it's definitely not something I have the bandwidth to do. So, I'm going to share it here, and maybe someone will find it interesting enough to pick up, or not. 🤷 I really like the show Traitors, and I thought it would be interesting to do a TS4 version.

Carol and Bill Reeves, they're Rhett and Levi's parents. They're initially from Chestnut Ridge, but after retiring and leaving the ranch to Rhett, they moved into a smaller home in Oasis Springs.

The Reeves family. Levi (Left) is Rhett's younger brother, and while they are close, they couldn't be more different personality wise. Levi works in tech and he and his husband, Braden, live in Oasis Springs with their two sons, Parker (toddler) and Miles (infant).

The Andrews/Reeves family. Rhett and Sienna were high school sweethearts. They had their son, Noah, at 16 and got married a few years later. After having their daughter, Lily, it became clear that, while Rhett and Sienna still cared about one another, they were no longer in love. Ultimately they

I really wish 'divorced' was an option in CAS when making sims.

I may have made a male sim that I don't hate, but I don't know which hair/beard combo I like the most. (I hated the second hair with no beard, so I left that out completely). He's supposed to have a more rugged look, but I'm worried adding a beard makes him look too similar to my other male sims.

Carson Mallory, not sure how much I want to share about her, because knowing me the story will never actually see the light of day. But, she's cute and I love her. Now if I could only adequately make the MMC the way I see him in my head, but I suck at making male sims, so 🤷

So naturally, I had to make the main sim I had in my head. I'm not quite done, and I forgot that I downloaded some new skin blends to try out. Hopefully I can take a better photo tomorrow.

Why is it that I always come up with story ideas when I’m on a break? A new idea came to mind today, and now it’s all I can think about.

I’m going to be honest, I have been feeling pretty burnt out with the sims lately. I adore my sims, but I find that I have to force myself to play and update every week, which takes the fun out of it. So, I’ve decided I’m going to take a break for a bit. How long? I’m not sure, until I get excited

I was going to play TS4 today, but I got sidetracked and made these instead…oops.

I’ve made a bit more progress, but now I feel like I’m running out of things to add.

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

That's all for today! I wanted to do another scene between Garreth and Drew at the party, but the sims stop cooperating and I got frustrated so I cut it. I'll probably tweak it a little and at it in during a future update. I hope everyone has a great rest of their day!

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"You've got to come to my bachelorette party," Victoria told her. "I know it's not usually this close to the wedding, but this is the only time I could get all the girls together to celebrate." "I'd love to" "Perfect!" Victoria exclaimed. "I've got to continue making my rounds, but you two enjoy."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"And you," Victoria turned towards Ainsley. "Must be Ainsley, we've all been very excited to meet you. Garreth isn't one to bring his girlfriends to meet the family." "So I've heard," Ainsley replied flashing Garreth an amused look. "He's very secretive with his personal life." "Is he now?"

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

As soon as the door shut behind them, the bride rushed to greet them. "Garreth!" she exclaimed. "I'm so glad you could make it, I know you've got a lot going on back in Windenburg." "Well, this gave me an excuse to take some time off," he replied. "Congratulations, Victoria." "Why thank you."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The welcome party was being hosted in a winery, not necessarily a choice Garreth would have made, but he also wasn't the one getting married. Honestly, he was just glad to be here with Ainsley. There wasn't anyone else he'd rather suffer through an event like this with.

051

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"Well if you need anything, I'm only just down the hall," she told him. "I'll be fine," he assured her before taking the opportunity to drop a kiss onto her cheek. "You look beautiful by the way." "This old thing?" she joked. "I've had it for ages." He smiled. "Come on, we have a party to attend"

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Ainsley gave a look that said 'I don't believe you.' Garreth sighed, "annoyed that Drew and I are sharing a room," he admitted. "But, we don't have to spend the whole week together. You've never been here before, so I had planned to spend the week showing you around. He'll find that boring."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

After a tense afternoon by the pool, Garreth couldn't wait to get away and begin getting ready for his cousin Victoria's welcome dinner tonight. It was the whole reason they were even in Tartosa, Victoria's wedding. "How are you doing?" Ainsley found him in the hallway. "I'm fine," he replied.

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"Drew," Garreth tensely greeted him. Things hadn't gone the greatest the last time they'd spoken. Drew's responded by taking off his shirt and lounging on the chair beside his cousin. "How's Diego?" Ainsley asked, she knew they'd been spending time together since Diego's move to San My. "Good."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

They'd grown apart, and while Garreth had grown up, Drew still very much hadn't. Drew liked partying, staying out until dawn, going home with men he'd just met, and it seemed he'd never fully accepted that the last summer he and Garreth had spent in Tartosa had been a one off.

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"I wanted to-" Ainsley found herself being cut off by the man descending the pool steps. "Garreth, Ainsley, nice to see you both again." "Hey Drew," Ainsley greeted him as she noticed how Garreth tensed. It wasn't that he disliked his cousin, just that they'd grown apart in recent years.

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"I called Mariah earlier," Ainsley said in an attempt to change the subject. "You didn't." "I was checking in, wanted to know how everything was going with the bookstore." "We haven't even been gone 24 hours yet. Plus, if anyone is capable of running that place in our absensce, it's Mariah."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Of course, he'd told her all about that summer. It'd been right after he and Isabel had broken up. He couldn't stand spending the summer in Windenburg, so he'd come here, and let his cousin Drew push him into doing things he wasn't otherwise comfortable with "I'm not one to judge," she assured him.

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"I mean, there was a girl I was seeing the last summer I was in Tartosa. She didn't want to put a label on things, I did," he quickly explained. "That's kind of how I figured out I like being monogamous." "I get it," Ainsley assured him. "I'm also not mad, it was before we got together."

050

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Quickly, Ainsley and Fiona both changed and headed down to the pool to meet up with Garreth. "So," Ainsley began. "I'm the first girlfriend you've brought to meet your Nonna huh?" "Well, you're only the second girlfriend I've ever had," he replied. "Technically." "Oh, technically?" she teased.

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"But-" "But nothing," Ainsley waved her off. "Garreth and I live together, one week in separate beds won't kill us. Plus, think of this like an extended sister sleep over." "Are you sure?" "Yes, now go put your swimsuit on, Garreth's aunt did insist we try to pool out."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

After introductions were made, Garreth's aunt Emilia showed them to their rooms so they could unpack. "I'm sorry," Fiona said sitting down next to her older sister. "About what?" "That Nonna said you and Garreth aren't allowed to share." Ainsley let out a laugh, "I'm not bothered by it."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Abruptly, Nonna turned towards Fiona. "and, aren't you just a little doll. When Henry told me he and Christine were taking in a teen I was happy to welcome another person to the family, we always have enough room for more people." Fiona smiled, "Thank you, Henry and Christine have been wonderful."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Nonna took a few moments to study Ainsley, who just stood there awkwardly unsure of what to say. "I've made up my mind," Nonna finally said. "About what?" "You. I've decided I quite like you." "Oh, well, thank you." "You seem to make my grandson happy, and that's the most important thing."

140

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Simmons," Ainsley smiled. Nonna waved her off. "None of that Mrs. Simmons crap, that was my mother. Just call me Nonna, everyone does." Ainsley let out a laugh, "Okay then, Nonna, you have a lovely home." "You're too sweet, now let me get a look at you." "Okay..."

140

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"This girlfriend of yours," Nonna said. "She must be pretty special if you've brought her all the way here. You've never done that before." "She is," Garreth smiled as he gestured towards where Ainsley and Fiona stood. "Nonna, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Ainsley." "Hello," she waved.

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"Let me get a look at you first," Nonna said, studying her grandson. "You look better, less like a delinquent, if only you'd just shave that rug of your face." "Nonna, I like the beard," Garreth replied. "Ugh, you'd look so much younger without it, I tell your father the same thing all the time."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"I'm glad you put that nonsense behind you," Emilia said, hugging her nephew. "If only Drew would follow suit. I flinch every time he calls wondering what kind of trouble he got himself into now." "Garreth!" called his Nonna. "Come over here and introduce me to your girlfriend, will you?"

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Ainsley and Fiona stood back and waited as Garreth and his family greeted one another. "You look much better than the last time I saw you," Emilia said as she made her way over to Garreth. Garreth winced at the mention of the last time he'd been to Tartosa. "I try not to remember that summer."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Without any further warning Garreth's Nonna rushed forward pulling Henry in for a hug. "Nice to see you too, mother." Two other figures appeared from around the corner, likely Garreth's aunt Emilia and uncle Daniel if Ainsley was to guess. He'd told her much about his extended family.

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Hesitantly, Ainsley followed Garreth in. As the door shut they stopped behind his parents and Fiona, an elderly woman standing excitedly in front of them. It took Ainsley no time to realize that this must be Garreth's Grandma, or Nonna, as he often referred to her. "You're here!"

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"Yes," was Garreth's only response. Ainsley shook her head in disbelief. She could count the number of times she'd left Windenburg on one hand, and Garreth had grown up spending many of his childhood summer running around Tartosan vineyards with his cousins. "Come on," he said. "Let's go inside."

040

🎃 Katie 🎃 @00katrinka00.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

"Your grandmother lives here?" Ainsley gaped up at the villa looming over them. They'd arrived in Tartosa only about an hour ago, and ever since getting inside the cab that brought them to the home of Garreth's grandmother, Ainsley hadn't been able to stop staring, at everything.

There was a big storm last night and a portion of town lost power (not my area thank god). So many people were driving with their brights on this morning and I get it, it’s pitch black and you can’t see anything, but also the rule is to turn your brights off when you see other cars, and nobody was.
