The Callahan Life States Dynasty--Ch 61: Arrival in Sunset Valley 20 August

[RainBeau]

Well, thank you kindly Rosa for answering and responding my comments. I am happy. Just want to say that.

Yes, I can't wait to see more of him Go! Go! Branch!

See you again in the next update.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked that.

I like this dynasty story very much. I have been reading it as a guest. I want to comment so i join the forum.

That is so cool! That is my favourite thing to read Thank you.

I am a generation and a half ahead of this in game, so I decided I'd better show this story some love and update!

Chapter 40: A Most Unusual Child

Of course, Ash needs to be taught important things like walking.





Both parents participate.



Marjorie: Uh oh. Mummy will be right back, sweetie.






Meanwhile, Vervain decides to get out of the house for a bit. She goes to the Fairy Arboretum for a peaceful place to do her homework.



She understands the importance of frequent study breaks.






M: Mummy's all better now, sweetie! Who's my little man? You're almost done learning to walk, yes you are!



M: You did it, baby! Good job!




Marjorie's midlife crisis resulted in her wanting a new car. A bit ironic for an Eco-Friendly Sim, but it looks pretty and I think it's her style. She of course never drives it. Because my Sims are ungrateful.
M: Hey, I'm grateful! I just don't want to waste the earth's valuable, nonrenewable resources!
Yeah, whatever.



M: Now let's finish your other training. *thinking* I'm going to have to go through all of this again!
You're the one who went and got another nooboo. You talk a lot, but I think you secretly like it.
M: *shrugs*



M: There's another one down!




*Using my teacher training* Tell me about your painting, Rose.
Rose: It's a businessman who's been laid off after twenty years' faithful service to the same company. He's thinking about the dire situation he's in now, as he hasn't yet told his wife, and he's contemplating suicide as an escape from his problems.
. . . Um, okay. Wow.




R: This toilet is filthy! Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?
Well, your mother is Inappropriate, your father is Hydrophobic, and your sister is a Slob. And your baby brother is still a toddler.
R (mumbling): No excuse.




M: Don't shovel your food, dear.
Vervain: Muuuum! I wouldn't think you'd care, of all people.
M: I suppose the pregnancy is bringing out my maternal instincts.
V: Well, put them back.
Vervain! Watch how you talk to your mother!




V: This homework is hard! Help me, Lucky!
Lucky: No way. I'll be waiting for you to finish so we can pillow fight, though.




Awww, they look like such angels when they're sleeping.





R: Ha! I'm first up. Now I can be the first to get ready for school!
Strange child.
R: Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
What are you talking about? Zack was too lazy to like school, and Marjorie never went.
R: Not talking about them, am I? I was talking about you.
You know too much, kid. You're scaring me.




In other news: I finally built them a living room! The previous room were either fairy-inspired (master and nursery) or a blend of fairy and vampire (girls' room, bathroom, kitchen). This room, in honour of generation two, is all vampire. I think this looks suits a house for a dynasty that requires a mausoleum, don't you?








This is the part where I admit that I built the whole thing because Rose had a wish to drive the sofa. I never build if I can avoid it, but my Sims are very spoiled. And this house is being built bit by bit as necessary. I'm scared to see how it ends up.



And finally . . .



Marjorie! What is this nonsense you're wearing? That is not your style at all!
M: Aww, nooboo.
She's not even listening.

[Eldridge]

Rose is an interesting child, I'd say. I love it when she told about her unusual painting story.
She should told about that more if she had a chance! Wow, that was so deep for a child like her
Rose! You got a fans here. Plus, haunting picture there is so perfect :3

I always love to see huge lifetime happiness point. +1000 is so wow.

Hmm, talking about Lucky. When Diana was born, she not received doll from any relatives. This is the first time that I had experience like this. So, there is any chance that getting a doll too is random?

The house is looking good! I love how you decorated the room

Haha, Marjorie. Can't wait too see what will nooboo like when reach toddler

I don't know that there's much else to tell. It's just a snapshot in time. She is unusually aware for a Sim, especially a child. Remember when she instantly figured out she was in a Dynasty without anyone telling her? She scares me a little sometimes.

Yep, toddler training is worth a lot of points.

It's something like a 3 in 4 chance. I don't know for sure, that's just what I vaguely remember from something I heard.

I'm glad you like it. You might not be able to tell, but I very slightly recoloured everything. It's all still grey, black, and red, but slightly different tones. So obsessive. *shakes head*

You haven't even seen the nooboo as a nooboo yet!  But then you make a good point, all nooboos look the same. Toddlers are much more interesting.

[azokka361]

Have I mentioned how pretty Rose is? I have? Several times? Well, too bad!

Rose. Is. So. Pretty. I can't wait to see her as a teenager and young adult!

And Ash is so darn cute.  He must procreate, over and over and over!

[Eldridge]

Thank you for the reply and the information, Rosa.

Then, it's decided then. Rose will be my favorite Sim ever in Callahan Dynasty :3
Don't worry Marjorie, Branch and Zack will still live in my heart

Well, obsessive? What do you expect from totally control freak, eh  (I am too somewhat a control freak)

Yeah the only difference that nooboo has only different blanket (boy or girl), different skin color (depend of their parent skin), starting traits that they have that's all. Well, nothing interesting more than that. And, oh yeah! How are their parent treated them in the story. Well, toddler is so much fun. Not only we can identify them, but also they can do something more like they can't when they still a nooboo and we can control them even it's limited and look at their adorableness... that is priceless :3

Isn't she though? She looks so like Zack. I'm really pleased about that. It would be really cool if each heir looked like the spouse.

She continues gorgeous. Just as a spoiler there.

He is adorable. He's a bit young to procreate just yet, though.

You're welcome.

You think that now, but you may change your mind. I'm sure they'll all be wonderful. Although gen 3 kind of is making my life difficult. I am fond of her though.

Hee

Yep.


I don't normally respond this much on this thread, but I'm bored and don't have time to post a new chapter. I think I may continue to respond though, if I have enough comments. It seems to work on The Bachelorette.

[RaiaDraconis]

I just spent the last couple of hours reading through this story, and I have to say I'm enjoying the heck out of it. I look forward to seeing Vervain and Rose as teenagers--and welcoming the new nooboo!

[PeregrineTook]

Rose is fantastic!  Well, of course she is, she's part of this story, but still, she stands out as being extrafantastic.  I want her in the story forever!!  Bend the rules and make her immortal!!

[Eldridge]

Don't worry nothing ever can change my heart and my mind if I already decided

Told you, Rosa. Even Pippin agree with me

I just want to see her more, if she has that chance.

[Pyro0001]

All the kids are so cute! Especially Ash. I can't wait to see the upcoming fae/vampboo!
Marjorie's new car looks nice, even if she never drives it. Damian had the same one, except I coloured his red.

[Dextra2]

He is adorable. He's a bit young to procreate just yet, though.

He will though. And unlike other dynasties, you can ALWAYS age him up early.

[chetanhaobijam]

Yeah, another nooboo in the way. And thanks for replying my comment.

Oh good! I'm so glad. It's a huge compliment that you spent so much time to read it all at once. Thank you. Yes, I look forward to introducing them. They are both so lovely although the only thing they have in common looks-wise is that hair colour from Marjorie. It is really resilient for a custom hair that I didn't even save. And yay nooboo!

Rose is fantastic!  Well, of course she is, she's part of this story, but still, she stands out as being extrafantastic.  I want her in the story forever!!  Bend the rules and make her immortal!!

Aw, thanks. Yeah, she definitely has a mind of her own. She's not a Genius, but she is very perceptive. I think she has stronger Medium Awareness than the others. She's incredibly Genre Savvy. But then, she is a writer! I suppose that comes with the territory. I had no idea she was going to be so aware, it's cool but a bit disconcerting. That's not bending the rules at all, in the Life States Dynasty the heirs all have to stay alive until the end of the dynasty. And they can be young as well! In the words of the 9th Doctor, it's fantastic!

Don't worry nothing ever can change my heart and my mind if I already decided

Told you, Rosa. Even Pippin agree with me

I just want to see her more, if she has that chance.

You will see her a lot. As the current heir, she is the main focus. I'm glad you will remain constant, I think she's a pretty great character but I am overly biased.

All the kids are so cute! Especially Ash. I can't wait to see the upcoming fae/vampboo!
Marjorie's new car looks nice, even if she never drives it. Damian had the same one, except I coloured his red.

I know! Pure adorableness! I love all my little Callahan babies, I just want more and more of them!
Thank you, I like it. It seemed like a very fairy car to me.

He will though. And unlike other dynasties, you can ALWAYS age him up early.

But I won't. I don't really age them up early, at least I haven't. They grow up so fast already.

Yeah, another nooboo in the way. And thanks for replying my comment.

You're welcome!

Please. stalk me! Okay, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean. I like to see the same readers across the board, and new ones too! It's exciting! And here's a new chapter for you:

Chapter 41: Leaving Behind Childish Things

To start off with some AA (Ash adorableness):
Marjorie: Sissy writes books! When you get older, you can read them!
Ash: Sissy a book!
Yeah, pretty much.



Vervain joins Rose on the sofa for one last--what is this called? I can't even remember! Something about driving, anyway--



Notice that even though Vervain is the elder, she looks to Rose for direction when it comes to things relating to imagination. And notice too that I remembered to put the roof on in these shots.



But why is it the last, you ask? Well, because Vervain is about to be too old to do things like that anymore.



It's a typical birthday at the Callahans'--toddler playing with his IF doll on the floor, Marjorie pointing and laughing, and a ghost celebrating alongside. In the middle of the day. Oh yeah, you can't get this stuff anywhere else.



Vervain! Where did you go? You've turned to wings and sparkles!



Oh, there you are.
Vervain: My hair!
Don't worry, I'll fix it.



Vervain: Awesome, I can use magic now.
M: Excuse me, some of us are trying to eat cake here.
Zack: And there's another one coming--madness!
Hey, what happened to Mr I-Think-I'm-Family-Oriented-Even-Though-I-Don't-Have-The-Trait?
Z: That was far too long.
It got away from me, yeah.



Z: Marjorie, why do you keep having nooboos?
Hey, it takes two to tango, Mister!
Z: Yeah, but you don't see me having them, do you?



Where are you going, Rose?
Rose: Away. Too many people. Too much noise. Too much parent grossness.



Z: Here's an idea for you: When you have about three kids, it's okay to stop. Especially when they all have nappies and need training and food all the time.
A: Bad idea!
You tell him, Ash! He doesn't even have to feed you, what a whinger.



Z: Also, cooking is hard work.
A: Daddy cook!



Z: If you can avoid it, don't get a job where you have to punch a clock. It's tying you down.
I don't think he's listening you anymore.



V: Well, time to get a job!
Already? You just had your birthday! I haven't even given you a makeover yet!
V: What can I say? Teen birthday = wish to get a Part-Time Job. Time to start growing up.
What are you going to get, then?
V: Probably Grocery Clerk. I'd like to work with produce.
Oh, I'm sure that can be arranged…



V: Okay, done. You can make me over now.

V: Not with my mum's hair! Gah! Get it off me!
I was just trying to see if you look like her. You don't, by the way. It's shocking.



V: Phew. Much better.
I agree.



V: Thanks, this is so much better than what I aged up in.
Darn right it is. That's one of the many privileges of being watched. A moment of silence for Eunice Classic's YA dress . . .

Everyday



Formal (In the case of teens, also known as Prom outfit)



Sleep wear



(I love this hair so much)



Athletic (I think this combination is too cute!)



And finally, Swim wear.



V: All right!
You're welcome.




Author's Notes
Sorry there's not much Rose in this chapter, especially you asked to see a lot of her. Don't worry though, as the heir she will be the focus much of the time. She was just Put on a Bus for this episode.



Hahaha I'm so funny.
