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

Verv is so pretty!  I feel like those unique eyes are always such a gamble, but they really suit her especially with those cheekbones.  Poor Eunice with that dress.  If she ever meets Percy, they can talk about awful default clothes.  Of course this would mean I would need to be able to play for more than 1.5 sim days at a time ... but, you know ... that's off topic.

The talking lessons were great.  I agree.  Punching time cards is the worst.  Best instill that in them early.

I'm pretty sure those are her dad's eyes. His used to be blue like that before they got all glowy. Thank you though, I thin she's really pretty too. I could never have predicted just how well Zack and Marjorie's genes would combine!

I would love to see that conversation, but I agree with glitches it's not worth it to try.

I agree! Steady jobs are boring! Although, they do help pay the bills . . .

Hey, I knew that hairstyle. Wasn't that the hair that Ombra's had? *well, please correct me if i wrong*

I love how you write about how Marjorie and Zack teach Ash. So cute and adorable XD
I love how Vervain looks, she's great with the makeovers.

Hahaha, Rose was so funny. I still love her even she was in Put on a Bus episode.
She had 5 screenshots! So I wouldn't miss her so much.

No. None of Vervain's hairstyles are the same as any of the Sims's hairstyles.

I've seen lots of really funny toddler-training scenes, so I try to make mine humorous/touching/appropriate.

I like Vervain's look too! It was really fun putting her wardrobe together.

She did have quite a few screenshots for not being there.

[RaiaDraconis]

Wow, Vervain is beautiful. Poor Zach...four is a lot of nooboos, even if two of them can more or less take care of themselves now.

[Eldridge]

(I love this hair so much)

Oh, yes. My mistake! I only looking at the back view
Well, this is a great update anyway. I can't wait to see Rose more. And Branch XD

[azokka361]

Vervain is so pretty! She gets most of her features from Zack, I believe.

For some reason, I especially love her formal outfit. Because it's black, and gold, and I love that hairstyle, and . . .

She really is. That's true--I guess his family-orientedness has bounds. In reality, it's been a long time but I think he actually did have a wish to have a baby with Marjorie.

Stay tuned, then

Could be. I haven't done an analysis on it, so I don't know.

Her favourite colours is black and her wings are gold, so that was kind of her theme.

[PeregrineTook]

You suckered me.  I thought the "put on a bus" link would show some little mini side story with her.

That's not my fault *pout* I thought people might like to know what the term means. Lower your expectations, Pippin! She doesn't need a mini-story, she wasn't doing anything interesting. I think she actually went to school. I can't remember because it was a million years ago, but no one else would have been going anywhere since Vervain had her birthday so she could skip school.

[PeregrineTook]

Well, I just got my hopes up since Rose is my favorite.  Entirely my fault.  I'll own that one  :=)

[Pyro0001]

Yay for a birthday! Vervain looks great as a teen.

I just was playing my Moonlight Falls game today, and I noticed a toddler (forgot his name, sorry) who looked exactly like Ash! He even had the same hair

Eh, guess I can't blame you for that

Hmmm. Alfred Hoppcraft, maybe? No...I can't think who it would be.


Chapter 42: Best Part of Growing Up

Rose: Fanksh, Daddy, zhese cookiesh are delishush. (Translated: Thanks, Daddy, these cookies are delicious.)
Zack: You're welcome, Rosebud.



Marjorie: Whoa! I'm pregnant!
Vervain: Um, yeah Mom, you already knew that, so . . . can we continue my driving lesson now?



Guess she gave up on you.
M: Well, I'm more comfortable riding my bike anyway.



Whoa, you are really tipping the bed there, Rose. Too many cookies?
R: No. I only had one. Don't be ridiculous, it's just a glitch.
Again with the disconcerting medium awareness.



Now that Vervain is old enough, she is excited to start helping her mother in the garden. Did I mention she gained the Green Thumb trait?



She tends her mother's mausoleum pieces.



M: Guess what, baby boy? It's almost your birthday! Yes it is!
Is that the back of Jamal Jawarholal's head? 



Rose writes another book. Or works on the same one. Don't remember now. Either way, her first book was entitled Fairy Vampires.



I give her new sleep wear, just because.



And then it's the nest day and Ash's birthday! Rather an odd assortment of clothes they're wearing . . .



Ash watches Daddy blow out the candles for him.



Yes, of course Marjorie is there for her son's birthday, and of course, she's laughing at him.



Then . . . sparkle attack!



Cross-eyed, weird hair, the whole bit.



R: So, when are you going to have the nooboo, Mum? Are you going to follow tradition and wait until the next chapter? Cliffhangers do increase suspense. Besides, we've already had one birthday this chapter.
M: What on earth are you talking about?
R: *sigh* Never mind.



Ash: Oh my gosh, yes! This thing is awesome! I think I'll totally spend my entire childhood on this thing!



Z: Hey there, elm blossom, long time no kiss *wink*
M: Ooohh!
A: Yuck.



Ash braves the minefield of parental affection and makes it to the dresser/mirror for his makeover. His favourite colour is purple, which was so much fun to work with.

Everyday



Formal



Sleep wear



Athletic



Swim wear that I am inordinately proud of



Lot update. Notice Ash has no bedroom. He sleeps in the Fairy House, so he doesn't need one.



So, Ash, you're a child now! So much more you can do! What do you want to do first?
A: I have just the thing!



A: Hurray, fishing!
*sniffing proudly* That's my boy!




Author's Notes
Looks like Rose was right about the birth of the nooboo!

She reminds me of Abed from Community. Not while I was playing her, but as I'm writing. He's my favourite, so that's makes me happy.

[azokka361]

Ash is adorable (still)!

And I'm actually watching Community right now! Rose is a lot like Abed, the way she refers to the "show" as a show and is generally subtly hilarious.

Great recoloring. A purple tux is every boys best friend.
