No! Fish tacos got calories? I may cry. Okay, swapping to grilled chicken only from now on. *sigh* My sims are as lazy as their watcher and don't do much working out, so they have strict diets.
Thanks for explaining about the different save files! It's very interesting.

And lol. Base game dancing does look pretty dorky. That ol' bounce and weave.
Good job on the spouse prospect there, Brendon! She's gorgeous!
So Kourtney's evil? I never would have guessed! Well, doesn't stop her from being an awesome spouse, and I'm sure it keeps things interesting.

I'm drooling over your cc kitchen counters. I might have to try and find those myself. Very nice!

Wow, that's a lot of teens!  Hehehe, love Brendan and the poor teen XD  I always like the idea that these NPCs know what's happening, when there's a dynasty, etc lol  I always kinda think of it like an urban legend.  Most think of dynasties as a myth, a rumor, but then you have those few that can tell you stories lol

@FrancescaFiori  simsationaldesigns Shaker Kitchen It's one of the wood tones from this set, I think! Kourtney's never done anything even remotely evil, in fact it's like the evil trait doesn't even exist with her. Apart from the occasional evil laugh you wouldn't even know!

@Shewolf13  That's how I treat it all too, some sort of weird urban myth that can't possibly be real... or is it? My game has continued to spawn in teens too. Every location that we visited teens were spawned in. I have no idea how many but it's around 18-ish as there were 12 spawned in originally at that first park visit and I've definitely seen at least 6 new ones. I can see a few in houses when my sims travel so that's a good thing. I'm not using any Lot Traits at all mainly due to not wanting to make it any easier and because I didn't want to be stuck with the same one for all 8 gens so I'm really not sure why there are so many teens. It's not a bad thing though.  :)

Some mornings are just so beautiful they need capturing forever. Weirdly renewing marriage vows doesn't give any moodlets so it may be due to some CC but I'm not that bothered. They still look so nice together, even with the casual attire of the Founder.

Kourtney: I love you Jax.
Jax: I love you too my darling.

Kourtney spent a lot of her time each day practicing her piano skills.

Kourtney: Practice makes perfect watcher.
Watcher: Indeed.

Jax makes sure Brendon gets a good breakfast before school each morning.

Dale: You know you're pretty smart for a squirt.
Brendon: Thanks... you're pretty good at painting.
Dale: Thanks

Often Malcolm joins Jax down by the river.

Watcher: Bet you're wishing you said yes to joining us when you had the chance eh Malcolm.
Malcolm: Well, kinda, maybe..With the 'rents getting on in years I have to admit to being a little lonely.
Jax: You're always welcome Malcolm, any time.

We spent a lot of time fishing, just the two of us, Watcher and Founder, leaving everyone else at home to look after themselves.

Jax: Good, another one.
Watcher: You're doing well, we've got enough for quite some time now.
Jax: I bet they'll go quick though.
Watcher: True dat, once there's a few of you eating ambrosia the stocks will definitely need close monitoring.

On one of our fishing trips we met a nice young man and invited him home to meet everyone.

Dale: Oh! So you're creative too! Nice.
Watcher: Oh for carl's sake Cali! Get out of the way!


Dale: Well there is a lot of opportunity for mastering your painting technique if you came to live with us you know.
Young Man: Well, that does sound rather tempting...

Brendon works hard at his charisma skill, reckons he's going to need it when he grows up.

Watcher: Come on squirt, time for your dad's birthday...if I can drag you away from talking to yourself in the mirror for a second!

Birthday wishes and congratulations were shared.

Watcher: Happy adult birthday Jax!

*eyeroll* I guess someone's a bit insecure in their advancing age..

Kourtney: I'm not complaining watcher.
Jax: lol..smooch!

Our new boy Maverick (yes that's his name, I'm not making that up!) proved to be quite the wild boy.

Watcher: I don't know whether to be shocked that you're so successful or happy tbh.


Bob: I'm not happy.
Watcher: *cough* Quite. Err...I'm very sorry, didn't intend to be a home wrecker. You were supposed to stay in the other room...
Bob: And that would have made it better..how?

Lessons learned. Jax became wing-man.

Maverick: Hey... friendly neighborly call and all that.
Jax: Hey Daniel, wanna come hang out and chat down at the local park? Course ya do.
I'd say I'm sorry but quite frankly it's pretty fun to play. It is also a pretty good way for Jax to make his required friends from sims outside the Dynasty House. *shrug* Bite me!

Anyway, enough of that, we certainly don't kiss and tell.


And we certainly are not home wreckers.


Besides I'm blaming it all on SheWolf who requested a certain sort of eye candy...


Cali continues to be quite successful at fishing.

Cali: Thanks.
Watcher: Hmm... *grudging praise*

Kourtneys day came.

Jax: Woo! Happy Birthday my darling!
Kourtney: Oh, ouch!

Little Brendon loves to watch his mother play and often requests his favorite song.


And in turn he got a few pointers for his own skill, which helps Kourtney to perfect her mentoring.


Kourtney shares her love generously will all her children and gave Dale a few last minute painting tips.

Dale: Awesome! Thanks Mom, finally mastered my technique.

Jax helped Brendon do his last homework assignment.

Brendon: Thanks dad.
Jax: You're welcome son.

And gives him one last big squishy hug.

Jax: I love you so muuuchhh *squeeze*
Brendon: Ohh, love you too dad.

Because when Brendon gets home from school today it'll be time to make a birthday wish.

Brandon: Yay!

Gimmee!  --makes grabby hands-- Wow, that is SOME eye candy!  Certainly wouldn't mind more of that lol  So uh, think there should be a rule of men must run around in their sleepwear?

Hehehe, Brendan is such a little cutie!  Can't wait to see him as a teen.  And he and Jax are so good together ^^

Laughed at Cali standing in front of Maverick in your first shot of him in the dynasty house.
Malcolm, you're gonna need to bring a whole lot of sumpin to the table cuz...Maverick (he don't even need to work out!)

Can't wait to see Brandon as a teen.

P.S. Does watching someone play piano (rather than listening) gain piano skill, like a toddler watching another toddler on the potty?

@Shewolf13  I'm glad you approve. Took quite some hunting to track down Maverick but I enjoyed the time fishing to be honest. It's so calm after the dynasty house madness! I'll try to include some sleepwear shots in future chapters lmao... Jax and Brendon are so cute together, I agree.

@oshizu  ha! It made me laugh too, trust Cali to be in the way, just too good not to include. I don't think watching gains skill, it was just a cute moment with Brendon and his mom.  :) I'm starting to feel bitter/sweet about Kourtney aging up.

@sdhoey   8) Dunno...guess he lost his shirt somewhere...

« Reply #53 on: March 21, 2018, 08:19:13 PM »

Dale: Careful squirt or you'll choke on your own spit!
Watcher: Lol, someone's super keen to age up!


Jax: Happy Birthday!!
Dale: Wooo!
Kourtney: Hmm, these fish tacos look nice.
Watcher: Yay! Finally! Wooo
Brendon: OMG Don't show me looking like this!

Jax and Kourtney still find time away to be with each other.


There's something a little poignant about these moments.


And we nearly had a heart attack when Kourtney got out of bed after... err... you know...and was very uncomfortable.

Jax: You ok darling?
Kourtney: I don't feel too good.
Watcher: Take a nap. Quick! *Note to self: no more 'poignant moments'.*
Jax: Dang.

Jax suddenly has become very fond of telling unbelievable stories. I guess it is the fisherman in him coming out.

Blake: I don't really think the fish was 9ft between the eyes, not really.

Weirdly, despite spending all my time watching Brendon, I have very few photos of him. I may be biased but I think he's gorgeous.

Brendon: You don't have any pictures of me! What the heck!
watcher: I know, right..lol You're pretty cute though.
Brendon: Ugh.. you can't go around calling men cute.
Watcher: (Men?) *giggle*

Maverick struts into a room. Most people walk, but not Maverick.

Maverick: You called watcher?
Watcher: Nope but could you go back out and then enter again?

We're all very polite in the Dynasty House. A lot of handshaking goes on.

Maverick: Manly handshaking watcher.
Watcher: k... *clears throat* A lot of Manly handshaking goes on. *smh*

So does a lot of fishing.

Watcher: I can't actually see any fish here.
Jax: Hmm, me neither.


Watcher: Oh hey Bob! You're looking much happier today.
Bob: No thanks to you and your boy.
Watcher: Heh, welp, time flies and all that. Gotta go.


Watcher: Hi Mortimer. Mortimer! Oh my! That reminds me...


Maia: This seems a much better fishing area.
Watcher: Yes, yes it does.

All sorts to catch here.



A little later sees us all back home. Maia looking absolutely stunning.

Maia: Thank you watcher!

Just in time for her Elder Birthday.

Maia: Oh my back!
Watcher: I know, right.

A quick trip to the gym to make some new friends.

Jax: Am I the only one working out watcher?
Watcher: Nope the others are around here somewhere.
Jax: Well, I think I've done enough for one day.

He can turn around and walk out and come back in backwards 8).  Where did you find him? Dang, you got me coming back for more now.

Awww, no! Not Maia! :(
She's so beautiful but she didn't get to find love or anything of that.

Look at that last shot--a male teen, two young adult males, and an adult male! Plus two elderly women and Cali don't count.
Now there's a household that's practically begging for an abduction, lol!

Brendon is so cute! And that hair! Watcher is going to have to up her picture-taking game, because I want to see lots of that guy.
Maverick . . . *shakes head*. That is just too perfect. I love it! And him. No shade from me. I'm all about that pollinating life.
Sorry to see Kourtney age up. And Mortimer. Oh, well. At least we know the townie genes will live on!

@sdhoey  literally a newly spawned in YA sim when we first traveled to the museum in Willow Creek to do some fishing. I nearly didn't add him to the house due to age-timings etc but I needed something to do while waiting for Jax to become en elder. I can't remember his exact traits as I'm not currently in-game but he's Creative and has the Family Aspiration (which of course I've now changed out).
@oshizu  lol yeah, except I'm playing Base Game only!  Maia really is a beautiful sim. I'm not saving any of my dynasty sims this time around to my library as tbh my tray folder is just so huge and I don't often let my house mates have a life as they are there to serve the dynasty really. I also don't want any potential spouses to come from a sim that I have played in the house - just would make point farming ridiculously easy.
@FrancescaFiori  I will definitely take more screenshots of Brendon. I guess I was so in the moment of playing him last night that I simply forgot! Yeah, I wasn't intending to use a pollinator but, well... it is what it is! :)

Well, I'm off to go read all of your stories while I have the rl house to myself! And then seeing as it's raining here I'm going to turn my phone off and play some more Dynasty.  :) I've been updating the stats page so this is reflective of where I am up to in-game.

I'm with Shannon!  Maverick needs to go back and come back out again, backwards and forwards for good measure.  And wow, Brendan is- he is his father's son!  Really loving all this ^^  I also can't wait to see Maverick's kids XD especially any kids with Bella.  That combination could make some seriously beautiful children!
