The Jade Dynasty - Curse of the Unicorn

So much adorableness! Poor Tristan, he doesn't even get bathroom breaks?

I really cannot believe Rosalyn is already an elder . Where's the time gone . Two very handsome boys . I especially love the very last photo of Samuel . What a precious little face . Great update ! 

Yeah, she joined the household with 13 days left of Adulthood. However you'll be seeing quite a bit more of her still! Thank you!

Oh he does, he just finds it easier to pee on the floor!

In game I am a long way ahead right now, I've just been very slow at updating. Although lately I have been in the mood for playing a lot so I'm taking advantage of that.

You've got some colorful nooboos there! And I have to say that I love Strawberry with the red and black spots. She should appear more often.

Thanks! I'm very glad they're colourful! Yeah I've grown quite fond of Strawberry, considering she was mainly to be just a tool to get Deathfish initially. However I just couldn't let her be stuck with a Red Ghost, despite it being fitting. As a Blue Pet Ghost had more LTHP at the time of death. She must have had over 25k LTHP over her entire lifetime.

Had? Is she gone already?? I know you play ahead of your posts.

For me yes, I'm at Generation 3 in game. I suck quite a lot at updating.. I will on Friday though! Maybe tomorrow. I was planning to update today but I had a revision session all day for Chemistry and I have the same tomorrow for Biology! Uhg.

I will however upload Strawberry cause I liked her so much. I will try and find a file where it has all her traits she earned, if it's possible. Either that or upload her as a household so people can have a level 10 hunting cat if they want.

Wow... Since I have never heard anyone real have the name Tristan before, I thought it was really uncommon. Little did I know that your dynasty founder was a Tristan as well..... but mine's a lot pinker. Great story!

Hehe, yeah I know three people called Tristan, but yeah it's unusual. Thanks!

Since I'm terrible at organising my Sims' lives, as also shown by my infrequent updating.. I rely heavily on the motive mobile to cater for their needs, Tris drives his son to school and then hops on over the park to the police station - it's so handy having the same starting work hours!



Stephen was an interesting child, flippers were the norm. As was playing with robots in the hallway getting in everyone's way.



Tris was quick to paint Stephen's portrait, changing Stephen from a redish-orange to full on red. This was the 8th attempt to get a clear portrait!



Both parents took to reading Stephen to sleep, strangely enough that one bunk has become the book reading hot-spot. All children in the house go there to be read to.



Samuel was able to enjoy the perks of independence early on, with both parents in full swing skilling and careers. He was more neglected that Stephen but he had his own moments.



Strawberry also aged up into an Elder Cat, adding some dusky white to her red and black coat.



Here's one of Samuel having some quality time with his dad, it almost looks like he's sticking that hand up Tris' nose but I assure you he isn't!



Stephen spent a long time on his homeworks, he seems slower at everything than other kids. It might just be not being able to do anything till he's a teenager but still..





The wedding has finally happened! It's been locked in to both wish panels for a long time now and it's official - husband and wife!





With a romantic selfie to capture the moment in time!



From here on it's picture spam of a family day out at the summer festival!









Remember the moments Sam gets? Well here are two of them!

The last pic of Stephen and Sam reading together is just so cute! My sims tend to be only-children, so I miss out on cuteness between them.

Congrats on the wedding finally happening.

I'm so excited you're trying again, and I'm rooting for you the whole way. I just want you to know how much I love the screenshots and the story so far. You're so good at taking fun screenshots, it makes the story so wickedly fun!

I've been too much of a weenie to try this challenge out yet. :x

Better late than never ! When you said wedding , I thought , well who's getting married the boys are still too young . I guess that I just assumed that they were already married .  Great update and the photos are awesome ! Those two boys are just full of cuteness .

Thank you! Yeah I don't normally have this either, most of my Sims, if they have multiple kids are either in batches of twins or far enough apart not to see this sort of thing either.

Thanks! I find screenshots wickedly fun to take! It's a very fun challenge, I just have bad luck with it..

Yeah I nearly forgot as well! Thank you!

Samuel aged up shortly after the game loaded up, which was at the same time I was walking up the stairs after making myself a tea.. So apologies for the lack of birthday shots. Here's one of his makeover instead.



Tris and Rosa seem like one of the most interactive couples I have had in a while, these two are constantly flirting or dancing, I let them since she is nearing 80 days around this point. So she should enjoy life.



Sam has taken to painting, well, he is painting. He is my Tris Elder portrait just in case Rosa is gone by that time, that and Rosa and Tris did wish for another child. He won't be chained to the easel for the rest of his life however. Just until he maxes it.



Stephen's birthday rolled around within a few days of Sam aging to child. They didn't socialise much, still don't. Sam was painting, taking photographs and skilling in general. Stephen was trying to keep out of my hair for his lack of anything to do. I forgot the CAS picture but Stephen under flame fruit illumination is not much different to normal Stephen skin colour.

Also yeah, that is frost on the ground. Considering my seasons are only Spring and Summer with snow and every weather turned off this stuff stayed an entire day.




When I said Rosa could enjoy life.. I almost regret the Keg. The sign of University's arrival!



The nearly compulsory shot of Tris being insane..



I had Tris and Stephen fill out the Aptitude tests, here are their scores:




Prom came around later, Stephen despite knowing anyone won Prom King. Well.. there was only one other Teen in the town. Ironically they ended up going out after that. Must be that whole "if it was just the two of us left." idea.



You have to wonder what goes through these Sims' minds sometimes. Or with Tris.. nothing.




Rosa was particularly fond of Samuel. She read to him every night, he and she had the best parent-child bond that was natural in the house. I say that because Tris so used a BFF elixir on Stephen...



Samuel's birthday came around, he aged up. His hair went further up as well.




Strawberry finally caught three Deathfish - one to use and two to breed. Rosa's homegrown Life Fruit was the final ingredient left and so the Ambrosia was stored! After much irritation, I actually had to wait for a fourth deathfish cause Rosa kept cooking past the storage. There now seems to be a tray of Ambrosia in the Spouse Chambers.. I wonder if someone will be able to finish cooking it in the future.



I leave you with a picture of the whole family, at Donnovan Steel's house - who yes, is still alive. I'm not sure if he may still be alive in game now or not. I don't remember hearing his passing but he's been an Elder longer than Rosa has for sure.

Happy Birthday boys ! Two teens in one household spells trouble for sure . I'm sure there will be many pranks in the Jade household for a while . Stephen did really good on his Aptitude Test for someone that just turned teen . What a great selection of screenshots . Great chapter !
