I wanna see Jazz aged up already =o RIP, Pappy.Ah, Bittersweet getting singed and the hair dye prank xD

I was mean about leaving it so long again, I know! I love the teenage/children's pranks. I really should uninstall some expansions to make my game run better and stop all the crashing (extremely ancient computer) but the pranks are pretty much what stops me uninstalling Generations.

I think Bittersweet turned out real nice! Hope Jazz is more like Bittersweet the Almond look-wise...

She's a lot prettier than I was expecting given their toddler looks! Jazz is somewhere in between, I'd say. But Jazz is pink and that's the important thing...

Romance Is Dead

Firstly, a massive apology is due for how rubbish I've been at updating. Work has completely blown up with disasters over the last two months, all of which seem to have fallen to me to fix, so I'm doing a lot of very stressful overtime! In happier news, I'm also expecting a baby which is mega exciting but filling my time with lots of sleeping as the pregnancy's making me really tired. So again sorry, and I hope to get to updating this regularly from now on (Gen 3 is about to be born, so I really do need to catch up). For those of you who've also read my Shark dynasty before, I'm hoping to get that back up and running soon too.



But moving on. Meet teenaged Jazz. Somewhere between Almond and Bittersweet in looks. It was hell finding a hair that suited her, she has really really weird cheekbones.



Her fashion, though, was easy. Slightly gothic, practical and definitely no shoes for our not-so-little wolfy.

She rolled the Athletic trait, making her Athletic, Mean Spirited, Neurotic and a Lover of the Outdoors. I have an idea what to do with her now.



Because we're trying to get through the teen stage in as few days as possible, the very first thing Jazz is sent off to do is get a job at the mausoleum. I very rarely get my teens to take a part-time job, so this is a bit of a learning experience for me. Keeping her happy for both school and work is by far the biggest challenge. Time for a Motive Mobile and some driving lessons!

And our poor Neurotic heir, having to hang around with all those ghosts.

Jazz: Dead people can't hurt you, right? They're transparent. They can walk through walls, so they can't!

That's the spirit, love. #unintentionalpun



Testing out her wolfy capabilities comes next. So far, we've noticed impressive claws, insanely bushy eyebrows and a load of her hair mysteriously falling off, but not a lot of hunting ability. That'll come with time.



She's got the poses though.

Moonlight Falls Next Top Model, here we come...



Because I'm a non-favouritist watcher (even though I'm a lazy one - Jazz is our heir and therefore the only one doing interesting stuff), we have to remember there are two other triplets.

If we were stereotyping, Bittersweet would be the smart one. She's busy developing her logic skill.



And the helpful one. Those toilets don't fix themselves, and we can't actually afford a plumber.



Almond's taken up cooking. She's good at it. Maybe it's to do with having a food-inspired name.



Meanwhile, Jazz freaks out about the enormity of the dynasty tasks. I don't blame her, I would if I was her.

Funny how the Wolff kids are still kids (and they're Jazz's neice and nephew).



Those of you who've read the Life States Dynasty ruleset will know that every teen heir needs a romantic interest. This is the one other teen in Moonlight Falls. He's grumpy, a babysitter, and generally a terrible choice, but he's the only choice Jazz has.



And he rejects her.

Poor Jazz. To be fair, though, they'd met about half an hour before and her chat-up lines need work.

Also, the graveyard for a date?! I know you needed to get to work, wolf-girl, but seriously. It's not usually considered a romantic atmosphere.



Not to be deterred (and it's the last thing she needs to do now before aging up) she invites him out again the next day.

Jazz: Hey, gorgeous. There's no ghosts watching us today.

The chat up lines still need work.



SUCCESS!



Jazz: Hey, I have something to tell you.

Jazz's RI: Oh, you're not going to dump me and break my heart are you? Girls are forever doing that. They just use me and all I want is a girlfriend to love and buy flowers for!

Jazz: Ah, yeah, I'm dumping you. Laters.



Well, you can't expect him to take it well, can you?

Jazz is actually really pretty, in her own way. The black brings out those glowing eyes.

And congrats on your upcoming real-life baby!

Pregnant?!?! Congratulations! ! I am so happy to hear that, atleast you got some practice with sims(altough real-life babies can do a bit more than sims babies)
Take your time with updating, rest is very important.
Jazz is cute on an unique way, I love her idea of first date at the graveyard, who can say that romance is dead? ;)

Congratulations!!!!

That stage when you're exhausted (and possibly also throwing up) but don't look pregnant is annoying.  No sympathy at all.  Then later on, you're all bouncy and full of energy (if huge) and everyone wants to give you their seats on the bus...  ::)

Look after yourself :).

Congratulations! Hopefully you will have a happy pregnancy and not stress too much. Somehow, the trees in some pictures reminded me of one of my best family photos, in which is me and my mother leaning to a pine and a lot of pine cones all around us, taken a few days before my mother gave birth to my sister.

Jazz and her sisters turned out very pretty!  Looking forward to seeing Jazz move forward in her requirements.  I also really like your writing style.  Very comical!

Also, congratulations on your own nooboo!  Good luck :)

Thanks for the congratulations, everyone! Pregnancy, birth and a newborn kinda took my time away from anything else for a while.

Baby arrived in May, a little girl weighing 7lbs.

Hopefully I'll start to have more time now I've got the hang of parenthood a little bit (do you ever fully get the hang of parenthood), and can come back to the Crayola family. I've got a gen 3 teenager waiting to be introduced!

Thanks all! We've called her Merryn Amelia.

And yeah, it is a bit dead on this board. I'm sorting my screenshots for an update now; though some of them were taken so long ago I have no idea what they're even of anymore!
