A Dynasty of Koffi - Update 1-6-2016 - Gen 10 - FINISHED

[fanofaband]

Grim came for Patches, finally.
Java:  *cries*  My puppy!
Splotch:  *whines*
You'll be okay girls, I promise.  It'll be awhile, but it's true.


Cherie's had to pick up Talia's training.  Jana won't do it anymore.
Talia:  *cackles*  Oh this shall be fun...


Hey you, and... you in the hat.  What's going on?
Kurtis:  I wanted a clone.
Why?
Kurtis:  Why not?
....oooookay...  So what are you naming him?
Kurtis:  Kory.
Kory:  I can hear you, you know...
Very sorry, just... a little surprised.
Kory:  Can we go home now?
Kurtis:  Yep.


Whoo!  Chairman of the Board!
Java:  I'm awesome.
Yup, just need about six more opportunities.  What's up with that?
Java:  *shrugs*  They just aren't calling me for anything, it's weird.
Very.  At the very least, the Omni plant ones should have rolled by now.
Java:  The what plant?
You'll find out soon enough.


Cherie:  This is when I usually cackle at people...
I could do it for you?
Cherie:  Charming.
I thought so.  At least there are people mourning for you!
Cherie:  Shocking.
Talkative.


On the plus side, Tracey's a child now.
Tracey:  *delightful cackle*
Should I be worried?
Tracey:  Yes.
Joy.

Go play with your mother.
Tracey:  *snickers*  It's fun to mess with her.
Jana:  Ugh... I love you, but at the same time...
Tracey:  What Mother?  Do you want me to leave?
Jana:  *grumbles*


Also, Kurtis is old.
Kurtis:  I hate you.

And Talia is a child.
Talia:  *evil smirk*
At least it runs in the family.  Three generations of it.  But they're stunning kids, don't you think?  The Koffi/Alvi line did pretty well.

In Java-related news...

This is Marques Chase.  Java tried proposing to a man she'd been seeing, but...
Java:  He laughed in my face.  So here I am.  And he actually loves me back!
Good for you, honey!

Wish I could see his face though.
Java:  I'll give him a makeover.
I think you're robbing the cradle.
Java:  What?

Well, I'm pretty sure he just got out of high school.
Java:  And... your point?
*snorts*  That's my girl.

As you can see, I've had to pack a lot of things into this.  The dynasty almost ended with Java!

Kory has become a teenager, and is quite handsome.
Kory:  And I'm a professional painter!
And you got to level 6 almost immediately.
Kory:  Ah... the smell of perfection.
Yeah... you keep saying creepy things like that.


The girls love playing chess together.  It's fun to watch, both being Evil and Genius'.  They're plotting something, I can see it...
Girls:  Shove off!
Rude!

Luckily, or maybe not, due to the mood swings, Tracey becomes a teenager.

WAIT.WAIT.  What is this??
Kory:  Us being happy?
Yeah but... you're her... father's uncle's clone...
Tracey:  So?
I... think my brain just exploded a little.  But I will admit, you make a cute couple.  Have fun at prom.

Java finally got her last opportunity, which was the very last of her moving requirements.  So, the obligatory picture of her with her colleciton.

Java:  Not like I really found any of it.
It still counts.  7 Supernovium and 3 Plutonium, totalling $59,914, which puts the Dynasty's collection total at $126,724.  Completely respectable amount, wouldn't you say?

Java:  Can I show them?
Of course you can.

Java:  I thought I should keep my style going.
I approve of it, most definitely.  Let's just get Marques over here, what do you say?
Java:  Agreed!

[fanofaband]

Well you seem nervous.
Java:  We shouldn't have scheduled it so late.
It's for 2 in the afternoon...
Java:  Exactly.
Well slow down, that's your second bottle and it's not even noon yet.
*doorbell*
Java:  FINALLY!

Java & Marques:  *kissy faces*
Get a room.
Java:  Give us a minute.
Congratulations you two!
Marques:  So... I have to listen to you too now, huh?
Yup, you're so lucky!
Marques:  Yeah, that's the word for it.  I guess.


The Chase household lives in the old Bunch house.  I like the Chase's better though.  Sadly, Marques' mother, Shawna, is a vampire.  So, since I'm not one to split up couples (at least right now), Shawna and Kirby left to find a new house.  This leaves Java and Marques Koffi, and Marques' younger brothers, Feisal and Reinaldo Chase.

Java:  Oh Marques... we have something we need to do...
Marques:  Oh I like the sound of that.
Java:  I was sure you would!
Ahem, I'll just... leave you two alone.
Marques:  Good.

After all the fun and games, there were makeovers to be had.

Marques Koffi, Java's husband, has Swimming in Cash as his lifetime wish.
Marques:  I love money.
I'm sure you do.  But you're getting a job.
Marques:  Meh.
You're going to be a cook.
Marques:  Oh, yay!
Being a Natural Cook helps.

Feisal Chase, the middle brother, wants to be a Professional Author.
Feisal:  You did it wrong, they were here for a couple of days before I graduated.
I know, but I want to lump you all together.
Feisal:  Is that a fat joke?
...go start writing.

Reinaldo Chase, the youngest of the brothers, wants to be a One Sim Band.  I'm going to try it with him, unlike Kurtis, who's wish I ended up changing.
Reinaldo:  I'm just better.
We'll go with that.
Reinaldo:  HEY!
You're just younger, deal with it.
Reinaldo:  *fumes*


Java:  Marq!  Did you poison me?
Marques:  I couldn't have, they were your ingredients!  Unless you're growing bad food...
Java:  Hmph, I never!

Java:  NOOBOO!
I know right?  I was afraid you weren't going to make it.
Java:  *glows*  Nooboo...

I'd like to pause for just a moment and show you something.  Reinaldo was playing guitar in the park...
Reinaldo:  It's what I wanted to learn first!
Which is why you learned it first!  Shush and let me talk.

Talia's a teenager now!  That's her in front, and Tracey's in the back.  I hope Tracey and Kory end up having a kid or two together, townies really aren't having babies all that often anymore, it's sad.

Java:  UGH!

Hey, don't look at me, you're the one who didn't want to go to the hospital.
Java:  This is YOUR fault!
...I believe you needed Marques for this to happen, go yell at him.
Java:  He's hiding.
Good man.

Java:  Awww... I even wanted a little girl!
Congratulations honey, what's her name?
Java:  Latte.  Ooh... what's that?
Uhhh.... hang on *buy mode*

Java:  *gasp*  Marq wanted a little boy!
Good for you!  How's it feel to have twins?
Java:  Like I just lost about 75 pounds.
So what's his name?
Marques:  Ethan.  Found it carved into a wall and I like it.
I approve.

So please welcome heir 4 of the Koffi dynasty, Latte, and her brother, Ethan!

[Lunarpixels]

I love how all the heirs are named after coffee of some sort. It took me until Java to figure it out though!
And welcome Latte and Ethan!

[alex51299]

I just finished reading all of this and I love it. Welcome Latte and Ethan! 

[fanofaband]

Yay!  I love comments!  *hugs*  Good to see you picked up on it.  *laughs*  Not like I know much about coffee, so if anyone has any name suggestions, feel free to let me know!  Very happy to see people are enjoying this family, I love playing them, so it's great to see people wanting more.

--------------------

While the rest of the household does important things, Reinaldo goes to school, does his homework (only because I make him), and then runs to the backyard to play with his new toys.

Reinaldo:  SQUEEE!  They're all white, too!
You're such a girl.
Reinaldo:  Shut up, go away, go bug someone else, let me drool in peace.


Java:  Awww... nooboo!
Well, you both wanted another kid, so I figured why not?
Java:  How nice of you...
No need to be sarcastic.  Now hurry up, it's the twins' birthday.


Awww... hi there, cutie!  I was hoping you'd have your daddy's hair, but that's okay.  How'd you get green eyes?
Latte:  *gurgles happily*
Awwww...

Awww... hi Ethan!  Wait, how'd you get brown eyes?
Ethan:  *chews on hand*
Alright then, continue!

Marques:  Doesn't that mean...?
Yep, toddler montage!




Marques:  Ugh... I'm not even the Family-Oriented one.
Correct, that would be your wife and your youngest brother.
Marques:  Reinaldo's Family-Oriented?
Yep, weird, right?
Marques:  Very.


Java:  UGH!
At least Marques is here for you to yell at.
Java:  Yeah but he's busy with the twins.
Hmm, true.  I could get one of his brothers to do it?
Java:  Eh, too late!

Java:  Awww... another little girl!
Congratulations, Java!
Marques:  What about me?
Push a baby out of you and ask me that again.
Marques:  Er...
Java:  ANYWAY!  He wanted to name her Darlene, but I said no.
Good girl.  What's her name?
Java:  Linette.
Unusual.  I like it!

[alex51299]

Ooh okay names, how about Cappuccino and/or Frappe? Welcome Linette!

[loveSims]

I love your story. Another nooboo, yay!

[fanofaband]

I've run ia bit of a problem.  Aging in the house is glitched.  The first time I start up the game, everyone will age a day, but after that, everyone in the house will stay at the day they were at.  I've noticed the townies around the city are still aging, just not my current family.  Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

[fanofaband]

If necessary, I'll manually count the days for them all to age up.  If that disqualifies me for the Hall of Fame, so be it.  I just really want to keep working with this family in this manner.  Hopefully the bug will fix itself when Latte moves out.  Please cross your fingers!

-----------------


Linette:  I'm cute and you know it.
Yes, yes you are.  I wish you would have gotten blond hair though, but you're still adorable!


Hey, look who's finally a Young Adult!  No more high school for you!
Reinaldo:  And nothing else to worry about.  Ever.
HA!  You wish.  You have instruments to learn, and you're going to be a singer.
Reinaldo:  What?  Why?
Mainly so you'll unlock the outfits for me, but also so you can actually earn some steady money.
Reinaldo:  *mutters*



Linette's a fast learner.
Marques:  Speak for yourself, you're not the one teaching her.
So you're saying you don't want to spend time with your daughter?
Marques:  You're a jerk.
Whatever you say.


BAM!  Guitar maxed!
Reinaldo:  I'm awesome.
Not yet, go work on the next one.


BAM!  Professional Author wish achieved!
Feisal:  It feels really good to have that finished.
I bet it does, buddy.  What do you want to do now?
Feisal:  Write some more?
How about we have you paint for awhile so you can write a few children's books?
Feisal:  Alright.
Finally!  Someone who doesn't argue with me.
Feisal:  Well, they're all dumb.
Good man.


Yay, you're a child now!
Latte:  WHOO!  Can I go fishing yet?
Not quite, you have school to focus on first.  Trust me, you'll have plenty of time to fish later.
Latte:  Meh, fine...

Ethan:  You're forgetting me!
No I'm not, I just wasn't getting to you yet.
Ethan:  Hmm, no wonder they don't like you much.
Hey look, chess set!
Ethan:  I LOVE YOU!


Well, you look younger.
Java:  Why thank you.  We piled a bunch of stuff into a chest out by the mailbox at the old house.  Figured I'd partake.
*laughs*  Well you look great dear.
Java:  Thanks.  I didn't really get to enjoy being this age, it feels good.
I bet it does.


I see your mom gave you a present from the old house too.
Ethan:  Shush, it's trying to do its.... whatever it does.

Ethan:  H...Hi Nina....
Nina:  Hi Ethan.  See??  He's not crazy!
If only you knew...

Feel better in white?
Nina:  Much better.  What do I get to do now?
Play chess with Ethan?
Nina:  I LOVE YOU!


BAM!  Child stage!  Hey there cutie.
Linette:  Hi!  What do I get to do?
Have fun outside!
Linette:  Best.  Person.  EVER!


There, you finally get to fish.  It's the weekend.
Latte:  Hehe, I love it!  I want to do this more often!
We'll try, sweetie, we'll try.


BAM!  Bass maxed.
Reinaldo:  I'm still awesome.
Only halfway.  Now go work with your piano.
Reinaldo:  *grumblemutter*
Hey, it's your own fault for having such a pain for a lifetime wish.
Reinaldo:  *glares*

[fanofaband]

Well, after trying everything people have suggested, as well as moving a couple of people out of the house, it seems like aging will be glitched forever, at least for this house.  I can play for two days, as long as they're supposed to age a day only ONCE before I have to save, exit, and start it back up again.

So here's the connundrum.  I either take forever to get through this household and get all of Latte's moving requirements met with a lot of interference in between aging, or... I stop this DecaDynasty due to glitches and try again.  On one hand, I love this family, and I'll keep playing it either way, but I really want to get into the Hall of Fame with this family.  I have no idea if the glitch will quit when Latte is able to move, and I can't see myself being patient enough to deal with this for another 6 generations.

I'm really on the fence about this, so what does anyone else think?

[Lunarpixels]

What I would do is continue and see if the glitch quits when Latte moves out, and if it doesn't the I suggest starting over.
I hope it stops so you won't have to.

[RainBeau]

I started both of my dynasties over multiple times, and on the Immortal Dynasty I'm not sure I've got the right one yet. It's really a matter of personal preference. I want my Immortal Dynasty to be HOF, so I have restarted, although I thought of it as practise to begin with anyway. I have accepted that my DecaDynasty will not be HOF so I am playing it to get the feel of a DecaDynasty before I do a "real" one. If you want this family to be HOF maybe you should start over Big pain though, isn't it?

[fanofaband]

So that's what I'm doing now, waiting for Latte to get all her moving requirements set and see if the glitch stops when she moves.  Right now I'm playing a sim-day at a time, closing, then opening again.  Quite annoying, but I really hope it works.  I really don't want this DecaDynasty to end right here and now, aha.

[loveSims]

I can understand that you don't want to quit now, when you say you close, do you quit the game or go to the main menu?

[fanofaband]

Full close.  Either way though, it's still quite a bit of a start-up to go through.
