Another Hollingsworth Dynasty Story - Completed

[KRae]

Your elders still look pretty good. You would be pleased with how they look if they hadn't looked younger before that patch. Just remind yourself of the shuffling, stooped, bulbous nosed elders of ts3.

[Magpie2012]

I think your elders are hot still! Like KRae says, if they hadn't looked so young pre-patch you would think they were gorgeous compared to TS3

[Alarianna]

I am with Magpie and KRae on the elders. Mine never looked as hot as yours did at the beginning.

Now you just have to concentrate on character instead of looks  (great shots of Julien by the way   ).

I wasn't complaining about how my elders look... was more of an ongoing gripe about how I have to wait until my sims are elders before they can eat ambrosia even though I know those are the rules. lol It's just a long time from young adulthood till elderhood... a lot of down time waiting in Julien's case. It will most probably be the same for Abi as all she has left to do is max her career. All my other immortals completed everything while still adults and I'd have loved to be able to feed them ambrosia as soon as their requirements were completed instead of waiting.  Just one of my quirks!

You just need to be less efficient. It's much more exciting to have an elder who needs to work on requirements start getting messages from Grim.

lol MarianT! It just keeps getting easier and easier with each generation! I'm sure it has to do with the Quick Learner bonus trait. I think sim genetically get smarter each gen.

Chapter 164: Weekend


Justin: Careful sweetie!
Charlotte: Got it dad, it's just a chemical reaction... nothing to be worried about *cough cough*.




Charlotte: And then the chopper whirls in and rescues the .... *looks at doll*... damsel in distress... *sigh* I hate dolls. I really want a brother. Or a sister. No, a brother, boys are more fun.





ZaidenSKL: Brace yourself Clyde, incoming punchline!
Julien: Lol, I'm not going to tell you now!




Esque: Lol Julien, you're like a fish... you fall for it hook, line and sinker every time.
Julien: Oh well... least I don't wear a pink shirt.
Clyde: *Cracking up*




Hitting the juice eh?
Caleb: Hmm, my new favorite hobby.
It's driving me mad.
Caleb: Let it go watcher. Take a deep breath. And let it go...
Why can't you all just leave the bar alone... even for just one day?
Caleb: Dunno... it just sort of calls out to me. Want one?
*sigh* Might as well.




Charlotte: But I'm a scientist G5. I don't want to write girly poetry.
Dude: Well your English teacher has set your homework so you might as well just knuckle down and get it done. Why don't you write about this pretty rose?
Charlotte: I guess... I could describe it in terms of atoms I suppose... or it's scientific name.
Dude: Good idea!
Charlotte: What rhymes with Floribundas?




Justin: Did you finish your English assignment?
Charlotte: Sure, I rhymed every second line and also got a hidden pun about my teacher in too!
Dude: lol *cough* Well, that was a bit cheeky.
Charlotte: I'm sure she won't notice G5, besides I'll just say I didn't notice if she points it out.
Justin: I might just have a little read through if you don't mind luv.
Charlotte: K dad. I'm telling you it's fine though.
Justin: I'm sure it is but I still want to read it Charlotte.




Charlotte: Ugh! I hate English. I bet you dad makes me rewrite the whole poem.
Dude: Such are the tribulations of youth!




Zaiden: Hellooo earth to Julien?
Esque: Lol, it's old age catching up on him. I should know.
Julien: Hmm? Sorry Zaiden, what were you saying?




Charlotte: Thanks for rewriting my poem for me G5. You're the best great great great great GREAT Granddad in the entire simverse.
Dude: lol, don't you tell your dad though or I'll be in trouble.
Charlotte: Heh, as if G5, everyone knows you're the boss and whatever you say goes.
Dude: Hear that watcher?
Nope.



Early the next morning...

Charlotte: Could we go to the park today mum? I'm a bit bored of being at home.
Abi: I think that is a lovely idea. Let me save this and then we'll go.




Charlotte: Thanks dad!
Justin: You're welcome, go and have some fun sweetie.




Justin: Love you Abi. You look absolutely beautiful today.
Abi: Oh Justin, you say that everyday.
Justin: That's because everyday it's true.




Rheem: Are you sure that's right Charlotte?
Charlotte: Totally Uncle Rheem.
Townie: Hmm, I didn't know that at all.
Charlotte: My teacher told us all that all those TV's that everyone keeps leaving on all the time is using 10% more electricity than normal. So you have to make sure you turn it off!
Townie: K, thanks for letting me know.





Esque: Hiya Grim, lovely day.
Grim: It is. Want to play the winner?
Townie: *Glumly* He cheats.
Esque: Umm... sure. I guess.




Rheem: Oh look! That one looks like a toddler!
Charlotte: Silly, everyone knows there's no such thing as a toddler.




Charlotte: That was fun. Thanks Uncle Rheem.
Rheem: It was fun, see ya round squirt.




Justin: Wait! Is that.... it is! It's Grim floating along over there.
Abi: Cool, give him a shout out.




Abi: How are you Grim, it's been a while.
Grim: It is. I'm good thanks. Who's this?
Abi: Grim, I'd like you to meet my husband Justin. Justin this is Grim.




Justin: Nice to finally meet you.
Grim: Hahahaha that's not what most sims say when they meet me.




Grim: You two look really cute together. Shame it's not going to last all that long.
Justin: Thanks...oh...err, well you could always go on strike or something.
Abi: *sigh* Grim, remember... social skills....
Grim: Oh! *cough*




Charlotte: Hi, I'm Charlotte.
Brittany Caliente: Hi! I'm Brittany.




Justin: You're so cute Abi!
Grim: Oh yuk... Been nice seeing ya but if you're going to get all lovey-dovey I'm outta here.
Justin: See you Grim.




Brittany: What? You are part of a dynasty? Oh my!
Charlotte: It's not that bad... the worst part is the watcher... *mimics* Have you done your homework, go learn your skills*
Brittany: Wow! I just do what I want. Well, anytime you want to get away from it all just come over to my place. My mum's hardly home so we can just play all afternoon.

Chapter 165: Julien's Immortal

Caleb: Well son, today's the day!




Dude: The first bite's the worst. After that it seems to get a little better.
Julien: Umm, unusual taste for sure.




Mac: Well, another immortal joins the family eh love.
Zahra: Indeed. It's a beautiful morning and ...oh...the taste, ugh.




Caleb: Congratulations son. Well deserved too.
Julien: Thanks dad. Seems like I have been waiting forever.
Dude: Just remember to eat it all or it won't work.




Dude: There you go Julien. You are now officially immortal. How does it feel?
Julien: Great! I've never noticed just how blue the sky is! It's amazing! I feel amazing!




Dude: Congratulations Julien. You have done the family proud and deserve your hard won immortality.




Caleb: Sorry Grandma! Duty calls.
Mac: Ugh, it'll keep. You can do the dinner dishes.
Caleb: Lol, K.




Julien's museum items: 10 x Shadow Realm Mixology Drinks @$870 each Total = $8,700


Stats page updated.

[sdhoey]

Congrats Julien. I have to keep the museum locked. They are always wanting to put the recipe books up. Drives me crazy. Now they just stand next to the side of the building that has the books. LOL

Good job, and that Charlotte is the best, a handful for you lol 

[KRae]

Congrats! I just love little Charlotte.

[Alarianna]

Congratulation Julien.

[Joria]

Again, another cool interaction with Grim.  Which park was it Charlotte went to?  Doesn't look familiar to me but I stick with the two originals pretty much.  Loved seeing those mixology drinks!!  Can you get to that point without being in the mixology career?  Great museum pieces.

[Cristina]

Congrats to Julien! He was waiting a really long time for this 

[mpart]

Congrats on getting far! 

[Playalot]

Thanks everyone.  The park is just the Willow Creek Park. When we got the go-ahead from the team to place any Maxis lots I just went ahead and dropped everything I could find into Newcrest. The park doesn't quite fit and some bits got chopped off but it still looks and functions just fine.
