The Java JiveWelcome back to the Sotelo's and their amazing adventures!
Sofia was a lovely addition to the family, she quietly got on with school work, skilling and the Barista career, while being friendly with the rest of the family.
Having aged her down to the start of Teen when she joined, it seemed appropriate to age her up to YA before she went home. And home she went to her mothers delight, a fine, highly Responsible YA with 2 levels of her aspiration complete and Art Lover as her 3rd trait. I used Pinstars Legacy random trait generator for that, it seemed appropriate.
The Java Jive is now a reality with both a tea and coffee maker in the kitchen. The kitchen has had a slight revamp to accommodate them but needs more work.
There were other birthdays too. Madhukar became my first teen Vampire and started exploring his new abilities, not entirely sure about Nancy Landgraab as a first meal though. He had maxed all the child aspiration and got a good start on the Parenthood traits as well.
Seiji took him fishing so they could top up the supply of plasma packs and Madhukar did a lot of reading which was too boring to take pictures of. His main aspiration is Painter Extrordinaire as he will be the Master of the Real but he has jumped around all the Vamp aspirations and bodybuilding for the points. I may see how low I can get the bills by having even more sims with Frugal.
A few days later it was Ninian's turn. He has also maxed all child aspiration and made huge inroads into the PH traits.
The boys do a lot together, they train together, do homework together, even feed together.
The fact that people in a nightclub have normal clothes is due to a mod. While they were at the nightclub we had a vampire break-in, still not fixed. The woman dancing in the stripy top is the vamp causing the trouble. Thankfully Madhukar asking her for training was enough to stop the break-in and let them go home.
Some others got a bit of coaching too. Seiji decided that his best friend and favourite food souce really needed to start on homework, and Gzifa got fed up with Lily Jack making a mess and insisted that she clean it up.
While all this was going on, Lucilla was beavering away in the background. Well actually as a responsible sim, her work from home task auto completes and she long ago gained all the skill levels she needed, so it was just a case of going to work in the right mood and picking the chance card options carefully. Unsurprisingly she came home with her final promotion. We can self-publish books and sell sim produced items, even more reason to revamp the house.
The girls were not forgotten and spent a lot of time working on aspirations. They are just trying to finish Social Butterfly and Rumbunctious Scamp. This means they are now officially Best Friends and took a photo to prove it.
Gzifa and Seiji have found the perfect way to get some alone time - send the kids volunteering. Teens can take their younger siblings and the parents get to have fun.
So there we are, Sofia has been and gone, leaving coffee pots in her wake and Lucilla has cleared the way for a clear-out of paintings and sculptures.
Madhukar is a prime vampire with all 5 PH traits in place, an A grade and nearly 2 levels of aspiration complete; Ninian is a minor vampire with 4 PH traits in place, he has his A grade but has jumped around the aspirations so much I can't remember what I gave him; Ophelia and Odiyah both have their A grades, 2 aspirations complete and 2 on their last section, they are also making good progress on the PH traits; Seiji still has vacation days to take because he only works 2 days a week so is around to help whoever needs it but Gzifa has had to go back to work, she's just cruising at the top of her career.
