Iris: [knocking on the door] Ash? Asher: It’s open!

Iris: Ezra’s here. Are you coming down? Asher: I don’t know. He’s here to meet mom, dad, and Spencer. You don’t really need me there. Iris: Yes, I do. You’re my brother, and I want you to get to know him. Asher: I know enough already.

Iris: That’s bullshit. You only know what Atlas has told you. They were teenagers; you can’t judge him based on that. Asher: Why not? People don’t really change that much. Iris: Please stop being difficult. At least give him a chance and develop your own opinion.

Asher: [sighs] Fine. One chance. Iris: Thank you! Hurry down, dinner’s almost ready.

…

Asher: I told Iris I’d have dinner with them tonight. Are you sure you won’t come down with me? Atlas: I’m sure. I’m gonna focus on work tonight. Asher: Are you hungry? I can bring a plate up for you. Atlas: No thanks. Asher: Okay, well, if you change your mind, feel free to come down. Atlas: ...

Atlas: Hey Ash. Asher: Yeah?

Atlas: Don’t talk to him about me. Asher: I won’t. I’ll just sit in the corner and glare at him while he tries to impress me. Atlas: [chuckles] Thanks. Asher: Love you. Atlas: Love you too.

…

Ezra: Are you sure you don’t want to join? We can pull up another chair. Asher: Absolutely not. She’s banned from getting within ten feet of a puzzle. Iris: You’re so dramatic. I don’t even like puzzles. Asher: Exactly. The only joy she gets from them is to steal two or three pieces and watch us get frustrated searching for them.

Iris: What? I get bored. Ezra: Is that why you told me to put this in my pocket? Spencer: Hey! Give that back! Iris: [laughs] I did not tell him to do that! Asher: Y'know what? You two deserve each other.

Spencer: Can you bring Milo next time you come over? Ezra: Sure. If no one minds? Megan: Not at all. We’re all dog people in this house.

Asher: What kind of dog is he? Ezra: He’s an Airedale. Asher: Very cool. Those are great dogs, super smart. Ezra: Too smart [laughs] and so much energy. He’ll play fetch for hours.

Asher: Tell me about it. I used to have a border collie. Have you worked with training him much? Ezra: I’ve tried, but I don’t really know what I’m doing. He’s actually my first dog. Asher: I can help you. When you bring him over, I’ll show you a few tricks. Ezra: Yeah, that’d be great.

Spencer: ATLAS!! Atlas: Hey bear.

Spencer: We’re almost done with my new puzzle, do you wanna see? Atlas: Not right now. I’m just grabbing some food and then getting back to work. Spencer: [disappointed] Awh.

Atlas: Leave it out so I can see tomorrow. And I can help you frame it and put it up on your wall if you want. Spencer: Okay. Guess what! Atlas: What? Spencer: I’ve been making a list of ‘S’ names! It’s getting really long. I didn’t know there were so many. Ezra knows lotsa good ‘S’ names too!

Atlas: Does he now? Spencer: Yep! Wanna see? Atlas: We’ll go through them tomorrow. But look, it’s important to give people credit for their ideas, so do me a favor and make sure you put Ezra’s name next to each of his suggestions. Spencer: I will!

Asher: Don’t forget your plate. Atlas: Changed my mind. I’m not hungry.

Asher: [under his breath] shit.

Casa Amani : a Midcentury Home in Copperdale (NO CC)

SPECIAL EDITION: Casa Amani is reviewed and architect approved by Jakarta based architect and urban planner, Alyssa Wibowo.

Casa Amani – A Midcentury Jewel in Copperdale

Perched atop a serene hill overlooking the misty waters of Lake Copperdale, Casa Amani is a masterfully restored midcentury modern retreat that effortlessly blends natural tranquility with sophisticated design. Originally constructed in 1964 by Lesmana and Sons Co. , this home was thoughtfully renovated in 2024 by Lesmana Enterprise, preserving its original soul while introducing warm, modern comforts for a new era.

With its flat rooflines, expansive glass walls, and natural stone detailing, Casa Amani exemplifies midcentury architecture’s love for harmony between structure and landscape. Inside, the earthy palette and rich wood tones create an atmosphere of warmth and calm. From the handcrafted stone fireplace to the built-in shelves lined with books and records, every corner tells a story.

The red-toned blinds filter Copperdale’s golden hour light, casting soft shadows on heirloom rugs and polished teakwood furniture. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, allowing the surrounding pine forest to become an ever-changing backdrop.

A Home Designed in 1964, with the Comforts of the 21st Century.

Lesmana Enterprise approached the renovation of Casa Amani with deep respect for its 1964 midcentury roots—preserving its architectural charm while reimagining it for modern living. The exterior was subtly refined to harmonize with the forested landscape, while the interior was thoughtfully updated with warm wood tones, renewed midcentury furnishings, and contemporary comforts. Every detail, from the lighting to the layout, was carefully planned to meet today’s aesthetic while honoring the timeless soul of the original design.

Carefully Planned Living Quarters that Blends with Nature

The living quarters were reconfigured with intention, offering a layout that suits the needs of a small family. Communal spaces like the open living and dining area encourage togetherness, while private corners and a spacious bedroom ensure comfort and quiet. It’s a home that balances nostalgia with functionality—perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with room to grow.

Outdoor Living, Elevated

Casa Amani’s outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and year-round enjoyment. A heated swimming pool invites quiet morning swims or moonlit dips, while multiple balconies offer sweeping views of Lake Copperdale and the surrounding pines. An intimate outdoor fire pit area creates the perfect setting for cozy gatherings, storytelling, or simply unwinding beneath the stars. Thoughtfully integrated with the natural terrain, the exterior is as much a retreat as the home itself.

Currently listed at §160,000, Casa Amani is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle of slow living, mountain air, and curated peace. Whether you're a writer, a creative soul, or simply a Sim who craves a break from the noise of San Myshuno, this hilltop haven offers a timeless escape.

Transcript below the cut:

Ezra: Thanks for coming over. I know I’m probably the last person you wanted to see. Atlas: Not the last. Definitely the bottom of the list, but not last. Ezra: [awkward laugh] Atlas: …

Ezra: Um, so, how are you and your sister? Atlas: Are you kidding me? Ezra: What? Atlas: Can we cut the bullshit? We are not old friends catching up. Just tell me why you’re here.

Ezra: I moved to the Bay a few years ago. I swear, I had no idea you were out here, let alone that I was dating your sister-in-law. Atlas: I don’t understand. You left? Turned your back on all of it? Ezra: Yes. The town, the church, everything. Same as you. Atlas: Why? What changed your mind?

Ezra: I wouldn’t even know where to begin. But Henry was a big part of why I started questioning things, and then— Atlas: Henry? Ezra: [nods] He had a really hard time after you left. I realize now that talking him into staying was the worst thing I could’ve done. He was so unhappy. Atlas: Was? Is he…?

Ezra: No. No no no, sorry, he’s okay. He’s good now. Atlas: [sigh of relief] Ezra: About a year before I left, after a particularly awful night, I gave him what I could of my savings and helped him leave.

Atlas: So, how do you know he’s good now? Ezra: [pointing] Behind you.

Ezra: He traveled all over and sent me postcards along the way. Atlas: … Ezra: He found you, in San Myshuno. Atlas: Really? He never contacted me. Ezra: He said he saw you with someone, and that you looked happy. He didn’t want to disrupt your life, so he stayed away.

Ezra: Eventually, he settled down in Henford of all places. He has a small cottage where he raises chickens. Prize-winning eggs apparently. Atlas: [chuckles] That’s perfect. He always dreamed of a quiet life in the country. Sprawling green hills and blue skies and a bunch of smelly animals. For a while, he was obsessed with the idea of raising llamas.

Ezra: Really? He never told me that. Atlas: Not surprising. You always had a way of shitting on his dreams, tearing them down. Ezra: [incredulous] I did not. Atlas: Oh please, you did so. He thought the world of you, and you used him.

Ezra: I— Atlas: You are a self-righteous asshole who told yourself that you were looking out for him, “guiding him”, but the truth is, you made him feel small. In fact, I think you liked that he was gay because it made you feel superior. And now, what, you want a goddamn medal for getting him out of there when you were the reason he was stuck there in the first place?! You never cared about him. You just needed to ease your own conscience because you could no longer deny the damage you caused.

Ezra: You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m the one that’s been by his side all these years. You’re the one who left! Atlas: I had no choice! And I tried to take him with me. But you stopped him. You made him feel like there was something wrong with him. You didn’t stay by his side because you cared about him. You kept him around to feed your fucking ego.

Atlas: How bad did things have to get, huh? How bad before you realized you couldn’t “fix” him? Before you realized you’re the one who fucking broke him?!

Ezra: Get out of my house. Atlas: Gladly.

Atlas: Stay the fuck away from me and my family. That includes Iris and Spencer.

you call your friend:

 you call your sibling:

you call your wife/husband:

you call your girlfriend/boyfriend:

you call your parents:

there's a small chance of having an unpleasant conversation. this chance increases if you're talking to someone with traits like mean, hotheaded, or bully.

notifications are also distributed by age. children will receive unique notifications, and other sims will get specific notifications when calling children. there are also specific teenage notifications about admissions.

unique flirt notifications are also available if you own the "cupid's heart" expansion pack. through the "flirt" action on the phone, you can flirt with people outside of a relationship and receive new notifications and buffs.

there's a chance the person will tell you they don't want anything serious. this chance increases if the character has the noncommittal trait.

at night, long calls are possible only with partners. from 00:00 to 06:00, specific late-night notifications apply, with unique ones for parents and grandparents.

changed phone interactions include: "chat with...", "video call...", "chatty a family call with...", "flirt with..."

changes to the relationship panel interactions are: "chat", "chatty a family call", "flirt".

notifications and buffs are also added to incoming calls.

the mod will conflict with other mods that change calls in the game. for example, such as scumbumbo's call anytime. it is compatible with mods that add custom incoming calls or texts, such as 'connected sims' by adeepindigo, 'randomtexts' by kuttoe, and 'more send text variety' by tyjokr.
