Herbert aged up into quite a handsome little child, if I do say so myself!
I'm not sure why his hair is magically a darker brown than it was when he was a toddler (he had light brown hair), but it was the game, not me! He went straight to work painting.
So far his traits are: Artistic, Insane, Cat Person. Somehow "crazy" and "cat people" just seem to go together. I also plan for him to gain the Savvy Sculptor trait to follow in his mother's footsteps.
Terry and Herbert got along well, but only got to be children together for one day.
After that, Terry aged up to Teen.
She's got Thea's eye and skin color and Thea's nose. The face shape and mouth, though, are very Fred.
As mentioned earlier, the red hair isn't something she was born with. It just seemed to fit with her personality so I changed it. So far her traits are: Neurotic, Eccentric, Handy, and Daredevil. I haven't decided on a fifth trait yet, but I'm thinking to either do Genius or Insane. Either way, this gal is a firecracker! I have big plans for her and lots of explosives and fire.
Just for fun, I tried styling Terry with something closer to her original dark hair.
It just didn't feel right though. She looks too porcelain and delicate. No, I think red suits this spicy gal much better.
Thea paints a somewhat off-center portrait of Teen Terry. Hey, at least it's not all fuzzy this time!
Per usual, Hebe does the sculpting.
That's Terry in her everyday outfit. I think colors like black, orange, and maybe red will be reoccurring themes for her.
I think it's because of her daredevil trait, but Terry
never just walks down the stairs. This gal always slides down in style.
In her off hours, Terry invents at her table. She's also registered as a self-employed inventor.
Fred, meanwhile, gets prepared for the big day by reading the Ambrosia recipe . . .
And purchasing some land!
I haven't done much with Upper Lake so far: some bathrooms, grill, picnic tables, sandbox, benches, and a little screen-in hot tub.
His requirements are coming along quite nicely. He's maxed the Culinary career, super-maxed cooking, completed his black ops, has 5 of the 6 best friends, and has purchased his properties and upgraded them. Hebe caught the perfect deathfish, and Fred's garden has outstanding life plants which will soon be ready for harvest and hopefully produce at least one perfect fruit.
All too soon, but not nearly soon enough, little toddlers Miya and Josie age to child. Finally, I'm done with toddlers (for the time being)!
Here's Josie:
Ah, the age-old cross-eyed age up!
And Miya:
Miya's hair was the same color as Josie's, but I changed it to blonde to better tell them apart.
Then it was time for Fred's Elder birthday. Whew, so many birthdays around here lately! I threw Fred a party. After all, this is the last birthday he'll ever have!
Well Fred, what did you wish for?
To be immortal, of course!
Sparkles engulf Fred . . .
Not lookin' too bad!
A few moments later, I scroll over to check on the rest of the family, and what do I find?
Do I even want to know why all three children are staring at this man? What did he just do?
