Everyone aged up nicely. I am excited to see where it heads next. Will others be narrating?

Yeah, I'm thinking for the next update of letting Daisy narrate then the other siblings, dad and then mom. So there is a diffrence in how things are portrayed.
@loveSims

I'm trying out this story in different perspectives. So, let's see how this goes, sorry if Daisy's is serious, she just is.

Daisy
  Hello, I'm Daisy. But you most likely knew that from the header. But of course there is a fifty percent chance that someone would skip over that, but then they would know it's me anyway, but then of course maybe they don't know who i am yet, in that case I would have to introduce myself, but then there would be a ninety percent chance I would have to talk with them and invite them over, then there's a thirty three and three repeating chance that we would become friend...... Oh, sorry. I promised myself I wouldn't go on and on about something that most likely makes no sense to you, because it only makes sense in my little Sim brain. Now back to the update, everyone seems to have me worried about something, I'm not neurotic or anything [i have traits to prove it!], it's just the scientific part of me likes to analyze things. While the Sim part of me likes to figure out what they mean. I might as well tell you whats worrying me so I can at least get it off my chest. Emma has me the worried the most, like, ninety nine percent worried. Why? Because I think she is head over heels for her new Boy Friend, Parker. She texts him when we are on the bus to school then during school she doesn't leave his side ninety percent of the time. Then after school she talks to him as she does her homework then as she looks at his picture she took on their date. She is literally Head Over Heels, referring to when she came home from her date, was wearing heels and fell.
In her sleep she murmurs his name, I just afraid she is going to get hurt. My friend was telling me she dated Parker before we moved here and that he had cheated on her, almost everyone says he is schmoozer, and he can't be trusted. But Emma just says everyone else is jealous of her, she is going to take it so hard. Dad worries me just a bit less then Emma, but just a teensy, weensy little bit. Dad is getting older, he is already 154. No one really knows how much he has longer, he says he feels younger then ever, but huffing from going down the stairs isn't a indicator that you are still going strong. Then he spends his time typing away his stories,
Sleeping during the day, then writing when the moon is up. I just want him to live his life with no regret that he just wrote till the end of his days instead of spending time with his wife and kids. Sadie can't help herself. She lives to paint, and she paints and paints and paints. She's already reached level five fro painting in just about four days.
She is very skilled painter. But all she does is paint, just like dad and his writing, but at least Dad is an elder, Sadie is only a child. She paints till she has to go to school then she paint till bedtime. I just hope maybe she will take up a new skill so she isn't in front of the easel all the time. Aubry seems to be slipping, just slipping. She spends more and more time in her garden and fishing, dreaming dreams with happy ending, that would never happen. Aubry seems to want to hide from reality, and escape to dreamland. Mom says to leave her alone, but I feel like I need to shake some reality into her. She still dreams about being a princess.
And spends all her free time in her garden that mom started for her, She missed skipped school once too, because she didn't want to leave her garden and mom got real mad at her. Mom has been putting her whole self into cleaning, because she tries to forget about Dad and his age, and just focus on making the bed perfect, She says she is fine, but even Sadie and Cleo know she isn't. The other day when I was coming up the stairs she was just staring at the fish tank. Watching a virtual jelly fish swim back and forth.
Cleo is just her insane self. Of course you worry about her saying the wrong thing at school or just being.... insane..
She even copied Sadie's pink tips so they could be more like twins, let's just say Sadie did not take lightly to this. Jessi seems to be the only one who doesn't worry me, she does her school work. Her exercising habits might be a bit much, but she doesn't only do that. She will cook or help mom with cleaning. I even worry myself. I'm afraid I will never find someone who likes me, not like " Hey, I'll be your friend!" But like, boyfriend. I already know I'm young, but Sunset Valley isn't a huge town, every kid goes to the same school. I'm hoping that someone new moves in before it's too late, I don't want to end up like my mom...


Hope you liked the update! Next update might be a bit perky, it's Jessi's turn after all.

When you are in edit town area, go to options and go to game options, from there you can choose how long a Sim is in each stage of life.  I had the same problem so I change the life span. P.S I had that drowning problem too! In my story Little House in the Woods 2 of the main characters died! So I had to remake the WHOLE story, which kind of turned out not so good. I hope this helped! If I wasn't clear then let me know.


Just so you know, you don't need to be in Edit Town mode for this to work.

Sorry about not posting for a while, i just got Ambitions so I have been testing out the different, new features. Mostly they will be included in the next update, some in this one. Sorry about the no picture, next one will make up for it. I just wanted to try a new writing style, tell me what you think.

Jessi
 I wake up and my head is spinning. Warm light floods in through the window, bathing the room in a soft glow. I pull my hands room underneath the quilt and rub my eyes. "Why is it so quiet? It's most likely is Saturday. Aubry is in her garden, Emma is over at Parker's, Daisy is playing chess at the park, Sadie is at the art museum with her art group and Cleo is most likely scarring people for life at the library, poor people. But Cleo has fun. I turn over and look at the clock. " 10:34, man i slept in!' So much for a morning run, I mumble. Maybe I can run an Afternoon run instead. I swing my legs to the side of the bed and go to stand up. Pain shoots up my left leg. I let out a stifled scream before falling back onto the bed. I cradle my right leg and try to get my leg comfortable. Then I remember why I'm still in bed, it's not the weekend, it's Monday. Yesterday, we got a trampoline, a big trampoline, which we spent all day bouncing on. But then I fell, landed on my ankle, and blacked out. Man! How come I was the one that got hurt? I have the Athletic trait after all. I groan again as I shift my weight and my leg screams in pain. Where's mom? " Mom!" I yell as loud as i can with out sounding pathetic. "Mommy!" I cry again, my leg starts hurting even more. I second later my mom appears in the doorway. She has the basket of laundry balanced on her hip. "What's wrong?" She asked alarmed. I point to my ankle and groan again. She nods, " I know it hurts Sweetheart." She sets the basket down on Aubry's bed and walks over to sit on the side of my bed. " I called the doctor and he said that he can check out your ankle at eleven." I nod. " Here drink this," She reaches over to the night side table and grabs a little brown bottle. She pours the rich, brown syrup out a little spoon full and hands it to me. " What's this for?" I ask holding it out to her. " It will help with the pain in your leg." She says passing it back to me. I gulp down the syrup and feel warmth spread through out my body, tingling in my toes. I sigh in relief and lay back my head. "Better?" She ask smiling at me. I mumble yes with a smile. " I'll go and get you something to eat." Mom gets up and leaves the room, I hear the soft tap of her shoes as she descends down the stairs and the rhythmic tap of her shoes on the tile floor. Dad comes into the doorway and smiles at me, his face crinkling around her eyes and mouth. " How you feeling Champ?" he asked coming to stand in front of my bed. "Okay I guess." I told him tilting my head to the side on my pillow. " You look okay, for being Jessi and all." he said with a laugh. I pretend to look offended and broke out laughing till my side hurt. It was moments like this that I wouldn't trade for the world. Mom comes in, " What's so funny?" She ask holding a tray with one hand and a smirk on her face. " You wouldn't get it, it was a ' You had to be there' sorta thing." He said grinning. " You hush!" My mom scolded, setting down the tray. Then she started laughing her sweet, loveable  laugh. " Thanks." I said grabbing the tray and placing it on my lap. I shoveled the warm, sweet pancakes. When I finished mom helped me stand up and change into shorts and a tee shirt. Then with Mom and dad's help i got down the stairs and into the back seat of the car. I laid my bad leg out over the other seats, then lean up against the door. Mom gets into the passenger seat and lays her purse on her lap and dad gets in front of the wheel and starts up the car. He pulls out of the drive way and turns onto the street. The little hybrid speeds through the little town of Sunset Valley and all too soon, Dad is pulling into the hospital's parking lot. Dad supports me and I hobble into the doctor office. Mom signs in. The nurse tells us that we can come in to the office. My parents sit in the two chairs and i climb up onto the examining table. The doctor comes in a few minutes later, "Hello, I'm Doctor.Landagrab. Mr and Mrs. Hammings, how may I help you today?" "Hello Doctor. My daughter Jessi landed on her ankle while jumping on a trampoline, then she blacked out.' My mom informed him. He nodded then examined my ankle. He took an X-Ray of it and pulled on it. " Well Jessi, I'm happy to tell you it's not broken, but you did twist it." My face fell, a twisted ankle meant no sports. " So, no school for the rest of the week and nothings athletic, no sports, no running, no jumping for two at a minimum, you'll need to come back for me to check it. Try to keep off of it as much as possible." He wrapped it up and gave my parents a sheet of paper to tell them about whatever else. Mom payed and Dad helped me limp back to the car. Mom returned a bit later and we set off to go to lunch. How was I supposed to live two whole weeks without sports? I just don't think I can do it.

Hope you liked the new update! Sorry about the no picture again. Hopefully have the next update tomorrow.

Thanks! I'm glad them come across as different personality! Aubry's is going to be fun to write because she is kinda a flower child.
