Nani and Tank are officially an item, dating a few months strong. After Nani's parents' blessing, the Subjects have accepted Tank. Soon, Tank was befriending Lennard and becoming a fixture at the Subjects' house. The pair is happy and moving forward in their relationship smoothly, and it starts to get serious. However, the fact that Nani cannot be proudly introduced to his family as he is to her's weighs heavy on Tank, seeing as she is still a secret. But with a bitter younger brother with a vengeful, watchful eye it may not stay that way for long. Moreover, Nani quickly learns her family isn't as honest as she's come to expect with a Pandora's box of secrets asking to be opened.

HEY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. HERE'S MY GIFT FOR YOU ALL!
Wow. Just. Wow. Where do I start? Where to I stop? Just this. Fucking. Episode. I went in knowing it was going to be the longest, biggest one and it would put me out of my comfort zone, being such a novice Sims machinima-ist. And this episode didn't get done without a fight. Glitches. CC. Inspiration. Motivation. All of it became a roadblock.
In fact, the first seven minutes sat in my files since the Spring, without being touched for six months when I picked it up again two weeks ago. I spent all my free time working on this (with many long nights with dwindling sleep, so pardon typos/grammar/spelling mistakes!! ;__; I swear I rewatched so many times to try and catch them!). Editing this shit takes decades! But I was determined, and I still am, because I know as I write this description as this uploads I'm gonna hit another problem. I know my track record.
Next episode is the last, tying up the loose ends and calming the tides of the climax that is this episode. I'm already a gushy mess about the actual Sims from the Sims 2 this is all based off of (all found at youtube.com/user/Skyblue1022) but I am getting the fuzzy feels with this as well. It's a bittersweet, proud moment. This has been the hardest creative project I've done so far. Just how long it takes, the dedicated and the motivation to keep at it. I've always do small music videos, always under five minutes from already produced game footage. This is a big change, but I love it nonetheless. And I am so happy for those who have watched and enjoyed it too! I am just so sorry I kept y'all waiting!
I have a feeling episode 5 will be a taken back a notch and won't be as long. But I am getting some burnout, but not enough for another 6 month waiting period LOL *knock on wood, fingers crossed* Now to just find a way to get the More-than-8-Sims-to-a-house mod to work....
Again, thank you for watching, commenting, liking, enjoying, viewing, breathing, and existing! See you next time!
