As you will have noticed, Poly and Ingo had triplets, 2 golden girl ghosts like Ingo and 1 mummy boy ghost like Poly. They were born just before midnight. So just after midnight, they aged up to toddlers. They learned their three essential toddler skills (thank you playpen and walker for talking and walking) and aged up children. They spent the day doing childhood things, and the next morning were aged up to teens and spent that day skilling towards their maxed skills, and then the next morning they were aged up to young adults. All through the use of cakes. So no school for them, and the more expensive brain enhancement machines are on hand to assist with better traits, as needed.
The boy ghost was first to be born and was named Uni. His two sisters were Bi, and Tri. After birth they were put into swings while the caking station was set up. Then they were taken to cakes one at a time after midnight, and put into a walker to learn walking then their siblings followed suit. Then it was into a play pen to learn to talk. Then finally daddy taught them to potty. This was because Mummy was busy learning how to tame a baby dragon. Because she spoke to it about gardening it became a green dragon. And this dragon helped enormously with Queen Ingo's 2nd set of skill challenges. But now, some pictures of ghost toddler ghastness or cuteness, whichever you prefer.
The watcher was pleased that his plan of properties to put down worked so well. One of the houses he put down was 'Grandpa's Grove'. One of the five properties he put down was the greenhouse set (the one with the dancing sunflowers and the fast grow stations and all the seed spawners). Between the green dragon and the tractor, both Grandpa's Grove and the Greenhouse were easily harvested and Queen Ingo became both a Master Farmer and Master Planter.
Just because I can ... a literal Ghost In The Machine.
In order to stock the family pond, Uni and Tri spent their day of childhood fishing. They would be using gardening as their max skill, but gardening wasn't available for them until their teenage years, and so rather than playing with the toybox, the doll house, the activity set, hopscotch, the tree house or the rocking horse, they fished. Bi's career was to be that of a self-employed Artist. So she spent her day of childhood painting so she could get the needed points in painting in order to register as self-employed.
Come midnight, and they all celebrated with cake again. The three were sent off to the science lab to learn gardening, and Tri took the family dragon with her. As luck had it, gardening was at 320 not 400 that day, so they saved more than usual. They then headed to the greenhouse. Uni gathered seeds at the greenhouse and then harvested plants. Bi collected and sold suns at the greenhouse and then harvested plants.
Tri called on Emmy the Dragon to harvest plants while her siblings collected seeds and suns and her gardening skill jumped from level 1 to level 7. Tri then went to Grandpa's Grove and jumped on the tractor and was able to fertilize, water and harvest the crops with it and then call on Emmy again to harvest the remaining plants. Her gardening skill went to just a touch under 9. Uni sent the seeds he collected to Tri and back at home she planted them and weeded the garden while she waited for Emmy to recharge. Once Emmy recharged, she harvested the home garden and Tri reached level 10 gardening. I am, incidentally going to have her do the Science Career not Band as initially planned.
Uni and Bi have also now gone home and they are now fishing until just after midnight when the first trio of Generation 2 ghosts become young adults thanks to cakes once again and prepare to move out into the wider world of Lucky Palms. Once Tri finished planting some seeds, she joined her brother and sister at the family fish pond. As the midnight hour gets ever closer.
While the teens were gardening and fishing away from the home lot, Poly became a Master Farmer and is currently creating lots of friendship and potent invigorating potions so that very little sleeping is going on, and also so he gains Excellent Elixirs. Poly and Ingo are both at level 8 of their SE Gardening Career and are working towards maxing various skills for the skill certificate collection. Friendship potions will be used soon for Best Friends and the second batch of ghostboos will be born.
And what has Ingo been doing? Well, she's become rather mad. One armed bandit mad, that is.
Following are pictures of Uni, Bi and Tri as Teens as normal sims and as ghosts.
Next up - the first departures and the second group of ghostboos are born.
