Thank you, Trip. I finally can found the teeth things. It was awesome!

Game of Gnubb comment:
I love Screwtape's hair. It's a CC or a Store Content?
The Window comment:
Six children... Wow
Interesting! I never had that many children in my game!
How could you stand that... I usually restricted to one or two children because I can't stand it.
That was really something @_@
Oh, and R.I.P Harwood!
The Timing Comment:
Sheila is growing beautiful. I just love her look, still hoping that she is the one and only for Screwtape
It's nice to see that you're on generation three already! Good luck! There are five more to go! And please be careful Trip because I still want to read more! And it's a nice update, I'm really enjoying your story. I just wish that story progression will be fixed, I want something cool happen like when I read Dreamweaver ID. That was cool to see original townie blood instead random created NPC who pop around...
And Happy Easter!
1. Screw's hair is from the Store.
Right here.
2. Thankfully, Harwood had them all outside of the house, so I could have made him an absentee father. Which I mostly did; I sent him to the Knacks every day, but he mostly just wanted to flirt with Julienne and occasionally talk with her parents. I wasn't even aiming for six kids; I envisioned five at most due to the household space in the Knacks being limited by Julienne's parents. When her mum passed away, I just had to give them a sixth.
3. Ah, Sheila and Screwtape. Things got weird, and that's all I'll say.
4. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still trying to formulate the fine points of the story in my head, but I have an idea of a story for this to follow. I don't like the generated sims either; it's hard work, but it's great to see generation three have some very interesting original townie kids as schoolmates. I'm happy to be so far with the dynasty at this point.
5. Happy late Easter to you too.
To everyone: I just saw generation three as a teen. He's so
cute! I also got my first glimpse at generation four's spouse. Generation four will be a very lucky lady. I'll probably end up moving in generation three's future spouse pretty soon. She's distinctive (best way to put it), and I want to control her so I can do my best with what I'm given (as a hint, you can probably guess her father, and she gets most of her looks from him. For better or for worse).

Sinbad had a kink in his back, but Vega didn't care. “Eva's getting quite old, and I need a sculptor. Please?”
“Unless Dennis needs some new stairs for the warehouse, ugh, no thanks.”
“You're just a difficult rotten peach, aren't you?” asked Vega.
“And you're a miserable gloom cookie. Go away.”
“I forgot to mention the chainsaw.”
Sinbad called Goodwin with vindictive glee. Yes, evil prevailed, and it was going to live in an awesome mansion on Puddlewick Drive with a chainsaw in its hands.
Though he learned about ice the hard way.
Now that she had a successor for Eva, Vega got to focus on her alchemy a little more. Her last bottles of Invigorating Elixirs were at a rolling boil, like the badly reheated coffee they were meant to replace.
She also had a strange focus on the Knack children. Hugo was their youngest at the time, unaware of the fact that an unborn sister was going to steal all the attention from him within days. Vega adored the little man, and since Julienne's impending sixth child sapped most of her energy, it was up to Vega to take Hugo off her hands for a few hours.
“The claaaaaaaaaaaaw.”
Vega couldn't spend all her time focused on her best friend's children. She couldn't ignore Screwtape, could she? As much she loved the Knacks, he was her shining star and far more precious.
“Parental unit, are my brownies up to your standards? I cook them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, as per the recipe. And did you know that the cocoa you buy isn't actually imported from Sunlit Tides?”
“Yes, dear.” What would she do with that kid?
But maybe she needed the Knack children in her life. They were so young, but Screwtape was entering his teen years.
He took a giant leap, looking at his housemates. He was tired of feeling like the baby of the family.
Screwtape got dressed for the first time as a teenager in his new bathroom right away. His father's features became far more prominent, especially the sunken eyes, but Screwtape did what he could with it.
“Parental unit! I am experiencing a wardrobe change!”
“Yes son, but I have to go.”
Downstairs, the three girls treated themselves to birthday cake.
“You look gloomier than me,” said Vega to Eva, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Not, well, not really.”
“Is it me?”
“Vega, never in a million years. I've been so happy here. Perhaps I'm just tired.”
“But mum, what about dad's death scare last week that you were crying about?”
“Hush. Auntie Vega bought our favorite type of cake, so eat up,” said Eva before having another bite. Shamus was still alive, but deep down, Eva worried. Neither of them were young, and Eva marveled at how she still woke up each morning as a healthy woman. However, after Shamus had a false alarm over chest pains, Eva feared the day it would become real. She had no choice but to, even with a forkful of white cake with authentic vanilla.
Vega decided to leave the two of them to speak it over, and a part of her wondered how her own elderly husband was doing.

I love Sinbad. Usually, he's a long-lived occult and I always make the note to save him for later. He wasn't this time, but he was really a contact from a PI case. Somehow, Vega became best friends with Sinbad after that, and moving him in was easier than usual when I needed him. Eva was about 90 at the time, and I needed Sheila to focus on painting.
Oh, and I bet you can guess my
real motive for moving in the evil, flirty, rather hot Sinbad.
At the time of writing this, I had no idea what to think about Screwtape's looks. Now I think that he's uniquely handsome as an adult. No other dynasty has an immortal with those Keane eyes, after all.
