Also agreeing with Rosa, it's just the distant members that I tend to forget. Still, family trees, yay!

The Grim Recap:

Here's where I think  we are on Grim.  Both houses have managed to regain the tie between them even with the fact that our little heir, Casper Grim, was late in coming.   Little Clawdeen got honor roll after four days of school which allowed her to age up with her siblings in the middle of the week.  Now it's time to see if Casper can keep the race close by doing the same thing for his grades.  Also did anyone notice the mystery picture in the Grim family tree?




Adrasteia: "Hey that face looks familiar."
Airica: "Yeah it does.   You going to be ok Mischief?  It will all be over soon.  Promise."


Adrasteia: "Whoo!  He's purple. "
Airica: "What do we call him?'
Adrasteia: "Random name generator says Jax."
Airica: "Works for me."
Tala: "We should get him a friend."
Adrasteia:  "Really?  Another pet?"
Airica: "Why not."


Adrasteia: "Welcome little Calyn to the nuthouse.  All kitten toys can be found complete with catnip in the hobby room."


What?  I can't show random pictures of cat cuteness?


Adrasteia: "Finally.. midnight.  Welcome to childhood little guys."
Baron: "Tada!"
Casper: "That was it?"


Casper: "Ehh. Dad you're a ghost."
Gunther: "No kidding.  Looked in the mirror lately?"
Casper: "What's with the skulls and bats?"
Gunther: "Welcome to haunted ghastliness son.  You'll get used to it."


Casper: "Hey look what I can do.. Rawr!"
Tala: "Very nice son but you need to get back out there.  Grandpa wants to tutor you for school so you can get on honor roll early."
Adrasteia: "Wait.. what about new clothes?"
Tala: "No new clothes until they both have an A."


Adrasteia: "Can we dress them yet?"
Malcolm: "Yeah I think they're ready.  By the time you're done primping Casper, Baron should be there too."


He's a wolf and a ghost.. Why not a superhero as well?   New trait: Never Nude


Because I had to show how awesome it was in ghost form too.


Favorite color is black.   With blue hair and red skin.  Who doesn't like those options hmm?  New Trait: Never Nude.   Yeah they both got Grandma Airica's trait.


Casper: "Find anything yet?"
Baron: "No all I see is rock."
Casper: "Look over the rock."
Baron: "Not sure that's possible down here.   The pirates came come from that direction anyway."
Casper: "I'll never sleep until I've gotten me treasure back.  Argh."


Adrasteia: "It wasn't hot was it?"
Malcolm: "No not at all."
Airica: "It was supposed to be.  Firecracker Shrimp or was it the Curry."
Adrasteia: "My question is - why did he choose to sit between the chairs to steam up?


Adrasteia: "Look who finally got enough points to freeze their age."
Tala: "Not that it does much good if it's going to wear off in 8 weeks but yeah I did."
Adrasteia: "It's not like Mom doesn't know other ways.  She ate ambrosia for weeks before."


Tala:  "So we ever going to get beds for the boys?"
Adrasteia: "Oh man.  I completely forgot.   Ok everyone to the center of the house or outside."


I had to add in a whole second story.


I didn't forget a room for the twins but most of the others are unfinished until they are needed.


Casper: "Creeper watcher detected.  Dive Dive Dive."
Adrasteia: "I just like how you match the bathroom."


Casper: "Hey.. you're a ghost, too."
Cornelia: "I sure am."
Casper: "How did you die?"
Cornelia: "Old age.  You?"
Casper: "I think technically I was born dead.  My dad is a ghost."
Cornelia: "Yeah I'm not sure how that works either.   You smell funny."
Casper: "I'm also a werewolf.  You smell like blood."
Cornelia: "That's because I'm a vampire."
Casper: "Cool!  Wanna fight?"
Cornelia: "Maybe when you're older kid."


Malcolm: "This is so much easier than having to hunt every third day for ingredients."
Adrasteia: "Yeah it almost feels like cheating."
Malcolm: "No it's just using the technology that is available to us."


Casper: "Mom! Mom!"
Tala: "What's up C-dude?"
Casper: "Don't call me that.   I made honor roll."
Tala: "You did!  It's only wednesday."
Adrasteia: "Wow.. honor roll in three days?  I think it took Clawdeen 4."


Tala: "Aww yea.  Eat that dollface.   Let's get us some cakes!"


Adrasteia: "I have to say that Really Not so Great Grampa Artie had it right.  Birthdays are fun just to watch the faces you guys give."
Airica: "Be careful you might hurt their precious male egos and then I'll have to handle it for all of eternity."


Baron actually beat the kid that could walk through walls when it came to getting to a dresser so he went up first.  I have no idea what his new trait was though.  The glasses just kind of do it for him though.  Don't you think?'


There's only so many hair options that work well in ghostly form.  So we had to choose one that was awesome and would show up appropriately.   New Trait: Childish

Because one just isn't enough for this house.  The llama had to bring back another one!


Malcolm: "Tutoring time."
Baron: "Ugh.. again?"
Malcolm: "Yep.  Need honor roll again boys."


Adrasteia: "Really woman?  We leave a MultiTab out and you use it to play Sims?"
Airica: "Leave me alone.  Go pop out a kid or something."


Random family spotlight.  This is Ian Grim - son of Ulric and Jamie.   He's also the targeted BF for Casper.  I feel sorry for his little wings.


Another random sighting - Lupe has become old now.   She lost the cool hair we gave her but maybe I can get her over to the house for a makeover.


Casper: -makes a move-
Sha Sha: -shies away-
Casper: "Wait..  no you didn't just move away from me."
Sha Sha: "I need to know you better."
Casper: "We're best friends!"
Sha Sha: "You used a potion.  I want to be actual friends."
Casper: "Look sister.  You can either work with me here or I can just tell my Grandpa to use his social networking skills."
Sha Sha: "I feel like you're using me."
Casper: "Of course not.  Fine let's go inside and talk."


Casper: -heat of the moment kiss-
Sha Sha: -surprised-


Sha Sha: -decides she wants more-


Casper: "I'm sorry Sha Sha.  I think you're moving too fast for me.  We need to be just friends ok?"
Sha Sha: "I hate you Casper Grim."
Casper: "I'm ok with that."


Gunther: "So got rid of the babysitter already huh?"
Casper: "She just didn't do it for me."
Baron: "You mean she was a bad kisser."
Casper: "Totally."
Tala: "While I'm enjoying the red vs green rivalry we have going on.  I think you two should go out for spooky day."
Casper: "Do we have to?"
Tala: "Yes. Out.  I want your father and the house to myself."


CowPlant Casper: "I'm not sure anyone's home."
Sixam Alien Mask Baron: "OF course they're home.  It's Spooky Day and everyone knows to be at home to give kids candy."


Casper: "I told you he wasn't home."
Baron: -throwing more eggs- "How dare Christopher Steel not be home on Spooky Day!"

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see any of the pictures. It just shows the link itself.

Now I can't see the links, but there's a big white space where the pictures are supposed to be . . . it's probably just my evil computer.

Give it a moment to see if any of them load.   Photobucket recently changed so it was giving me flack earlier and might just be taking it's time showing you guys the pictures.

After I finished the first half and refreshed, the pictures in the second half showed up just fine.

Baron looks like a sexy nerd with his glasses. And Casper just looks plain sexy. I love his mohawk, especially in ghost form. The Supernatural ghost types are just the coolest. I love the little floating symbols.

At this point in the story, Team Grim is one day ahead but it will only work in favor of school and not work because Clawdeen aged up in time to start work at the cemetery on the same day as Casper. 

Part of me loves this challenge because I get to age up early.  The bad side is that the child cuteness doesn't last long because I've streamlined it to 24 hours as a toddler and 3 school days for children.   I'd probably be done a lot faster if I let them skill up prior to Young Adult but where's the fun in that right?

Thank you guys for reading!

Casper and Baron both aged up very well. There are some hot teenagers in Sunset Valley these days.  ;)
Clawdeen isn't bad either. Or to be true: She is really stunning, I like her and her mothers round cheeks.
I'm still Team Reka, go Dolls!!! ;D I'm curious what these plans are that you have for Howleen?  ???

I can totally subscribe what you said about this challenge. It's great you can go ahead really fast but the dark side is that there isn't enough time for the childhood, especially for the spares'.

Casper and Baron look so cool! Casper's brief romance with Sha sha gave me a good lol. Sometimes it just sucks to get involved with dynasty sims. I look forward to seeing what other antics the boys get up to.

The Grim Recap:

What you might have missed on Grim.   Teenagers!   Last week for the Grims and Dolls, all the kids finally aged up and now it's time for hormones to rage all in the name of the game!  Will the Grims be able to hold a lead or can the Dolls make up the difference?  Does it really matter?




Random Babysitter: "I thought I'd never find anyone as nice as you."
Clawd: "I thought I'd never get a date for prom.  Want to go?"
Random Babysitter: "Isn't it about to start in like 80 minutes?"
Clawd: "So.. yes or no?"


Howleen: "I can't believe she said yes."
Clawd: "I can't believe you got hit with the limo."
Adrasteia: "You know having a prom in winter sucks.   You guys keep switching to your outerwear. Everyone in the vehicle."


Adrasteia: "Apparently the kids aren't the only ones having fun.   Llama ride anyone?"


Clawdeen: "What's your problem?"
Random Babysitter : "You had your grandfather put a love spell on me and now you just want to be friends?!  How could you be so heartless?"
Clawdeen: "I'm not the heartless one.  That's Howleen."
Random Babysitter: *frustrated scream, stomps away*
Adrasteia: -snickers-  "It'll be alright sweet pea."
Clawdeen: "I know.   One more night of work and one more day of school.  I should have honor roll then."


Adrasteia: "You know I was wondering what that lump in the snow was. Happy Birthday Cat!"
Reka: "Aww.  Spots!"


Clawdeen: "Hey Mom I did it."
Barbie: "Got that final promotion huh?"
Clawdeen: "Yeah finally.   Just one more day of school."
Barbie: "I'm proud of you, sweetheart."
Clawdeen: "Thanks Mom but you're happy we're keeping up with the Grims too huh?"
Barbie: "Naturally.  They wronged your grandmother and haven't tried to set it right.  Why shouldn't we hate them?"


George: "Just as beautiful as the day I met you."
Reka: "Thanks to all your hard work."
George: "I'm 92 today."
Reka: "I know but I don't want to think about it."
George: "You have to be prepared.  Barbie will be here for you and so will Addy."
Reka: "Shhh.  Let's go make an igloo."


Barbie: "So you all made honor roll?"
Howleen: "Of course we did. "
Clawd: "Yeah I was really shocked."
Clawdeen: "I was, too.  I never thought you'd get an A."
Clawd: "Ouch."
Reka: "You guys ready to do cake?  We need to get it done before I decide it's bed time."



Clawdeen: "Ugh.  Why does the universe hate my hair? I call dibs on the mirror & dresser."
Clawd: "I call second dibs."
Howleen: "Fine I call dibs on cake first."


New trait gained: Loner   LTW Chosen: Illustrious Author -- Social Group Trait Gained: Daredevil


Clawdeen: "Grandpa, you ok?"
George: "A little light headed that's all."




Reka: -starts crying- "George!"
Adrasteia: "Oh no."
Clawdeen: "Grandpa.  I don't think you're ok."
George: "Oh.  So that's what it feels like to die."


George: "Please just come back tomorrow?"
Reaper: "I can't do that.  I'm sorry Reka.  A schedule is a schedule."


Reka: "Wait.. Is that.."
Reaper: -poofs-
Adrasteia: "You know I've decided you guys need a party."
Reka: "A party?  My husband just died!"
Adrasteia: "Exactly.  And sometimes the best way to get over grief is to party.  Also - the party was already scheduled and we can't cancel it."
Reka: "Oh yea.. Fine.   But I don't think I'll be in a very festive mood."
Adrasteia: "That's what moodlet managers are for.  Barbie - get to it.  Chop Chop."
Howleen: "I'm off to get dressed."



Adrasteia: "Now it's time for everyone's favorite game!  Who will the heir choose?"


There's Walter Grisby.


Walter again but in the background is Bob Newbie as a choice.


Hal Breckinridge or Aiden Jones?


Adrasteia: "Wow George.  It's only been like 8 hours since you died. "
George: "Super fast processing.  You know some of those Grims aren't as bad as my wife said."
Adrasteia: "I know we're not."

Stay tuned!

So who will our heir choose?


Walter!
Clawdeen: "So you're kind of cute and I really enjoyed dancing with you yesterday.   What do you think about moving in and being my main squeeze?"
Walter: "I've been kind of lonely ever since Yvette died.   I've done nothing but think about you since yesterday so yes!"
Clawdeen: "One thing.. I want you to forsake being a fairy."
Walter: "Wait what?"
Clawdeen: "Please?"
Walter: "Ok.  "


Adrasteia: "Miss us so much that you're going to stay forever huh?"
George: "Shhh!"


Adrasteia: "What on earth are you writing?"
Clawdeen: "A comic book."
Adrasteia: "That's a new one on me."


Walter: "Sorry Elaine.  I can't be with you anymore.  I've started dating Clawdeen now."
Elaine Joy: "I can't believe you're dumping me for that dog."
Walter: "She's not a dog.   Oh and when you stop being mad, I may need a favor."
Elaine: "I don't think so!"
Good thing Story Progression sucks.  Could you imagine  what that child would have looked like with his features and her jaw!


Clawdeen: "Walter.  I've decided I want to get married.  Marry me?"
Walter: "Oh it's so shiny!  Yes yes yes."
Clawdeen: "Oh and about that fairy thing."
Walter: "Sure thing my love."


Adrasteia: "Clawd!"
Clawd: "Go away busy."
Adrasteia: "You were supposed to make a wish not makeout."


Walter: "Bye friends... Bye wings."
Adrasteia: "You ok?"
Walter: "Yeah.. Just feels weird to not be able to fly anymore."
Adrasteia: "How about we go get you a shiney new wardrobe?"
Walter: "Yeah and maybe some hair."
Adrasteia: "I think I can swing that."




Adrasteia: "Still no wish to get married?"
Clawdeen: "Not yet.  But I did just complete a wish to max my painting skill."
Adrasteia: "Awesome.  Good job, furball.  Your phone is ringing."


Genie Athena: "I am free!"
Clawd: "So .. can we be boyfriend girlfriend now?"
Genie Athena: "What?  No I don't think so.  Later loser."
Zombie: -snickers at Clawd- "That sucks."
