I'm sorry for not coming up sooner, but your story more enjoyable to read when there's several update instead just one (for me).

Oh, I see! That's why I can see unusual things about your Sims. Uh oh, there you are tweaking your Sims with some skins. But, that looks good and I totally agree with you for Elder things. I hope that they will fix that in The Sims 4!

Thank you for granting my request for Family Tree things! This is the reason why I play a long family, I want to see their ancestor and descendant and I truly love it especially when the genetic things play with the next generation! I will surely to check it up frequently as the story progress!

Now, for the actual comments:

77 – 79
It seems that you having fun a lot with goggles, my Sims rarely play with that thing. Maybe I should try some to see interesting animation. Congratulations for Garrison and Kelly!

...and goodbye to Garrison, having Grim as your birthday attendee was unpleasant. It’s nice to know that he had a good life. So, larger the tombstone has more chance of peaceful animation with the Grim itself? What do you think about this? Or it’s random?

Interesting scene about Sasha! That's really a fun moment when we can see so many ghost lurking around at the graveyard.
Interesting moment when Grim... do that
So, Imsety is her choice or her imaginary... Hmm, maybe I just need to wait and find out.

In truth I gave them all a pair of goggles, plus the one pair I kept on the table in the living room, to keep them occupied and stop them flirting with each other because my family tree broke, if they were idle for a bit they'd usually get them out but sometimes they'd do it stood in front of the fridge or some other annoying place

Traits played into that a lot, Grace didn't flirt but Tracey being a hopeless romantic would keep trying to hug or hold hands with the boys, and they are both easily impressed so they kept flirting with Grace and Tracey. I almost dreaded somebody rolling a romance related wish for their relation but thankfully nobody ever did that, it would have been way too creepy.

And then there was Dallas who I had no control over and who from Stone down didn't recognise any of them as family so would flirt with his granddaughters, if the tree hadn't broken that wouldn't have happened, but I learnt to deal with it by keeping them all occupied as much as possible and cancelling any flirty queued actions I spotted.

I think the death animation is random, I much prefer the shake hands to the pleading but I don't know what triggers it, June and MaryKay did it but Dallas begged yet like them he'd had every wish fulfilled including his lifetime one so I don't know why it differed between them.

My updates slowed a little as I was waiting on my proof reader who was slacking but I poked him and he's got ahead again, I shall have some more chapters up later today hopefully if time permits.

It's so strange to see an IF with a cane. RIP, Harold, he's one of my favourite Uni sims.

Seconding Nettlejuice on the "RIP Harold" comment! It would have been nice for his distinctive-but-good genes to be a part of the family, but it seems that Imsety has already made his mark.

(Side note: Imsety was wandering around town the other day in my dynasty, and I just had to think of you! He's an adult and I'm just on generation three, so I think he forgot about the Egyptian fountain of youth this time.

)

Broken family trees suck. I'm glad you survived it.

Eldridge · « **Reply #229 on:** November 22, 2013, 05:42:04 PM »

Aww, broken family trees sucks! I hate if that happen to my current dynasty

Yep.... blood-related things romance always creepy

That's why I take full control over my Sims, no suspicious action! Just see and cancel as soon as possible.
About death animation, I think that will remain a mystery for now. Until someone come out from nowhere and explain about it.
Instead Harold, I prefer Che Justice instead. I guess that's just my interest

I totally jinxed myself yesterday saying I'd get more chapters up, the power went off not long after and only came back on an hour ago.

Congrats on the moderator job Trip

Yes Harold is a great choice but Kelly wasn't interested and while Willow was he went and died on me

If only I could have made him young again because I would have done so.

As for Imsety he was not even on my spousal radar as he was glitched but then he sorted himself out and well that nose of his was still putting me off somewhat but he has a nice profile and they were already best friends, I still wasn't sure about the legality of him though because he'd been age stuck, but well you read the dynasty thread so you know I asked and probably know what's coming next

Looking back now I wouldn't have it any other way, he was actually pretty awesome and I had great fun letting my imagination run wild with his story.

Chapter 80: Prince Charming

Kelly has been plotting something and it involves her old friend Imsety Amin.

She invited him to visit for a few days and guess what, he never left. We've all noticed how friendly he was getting with Willow, but that was all it was, just friends but then Willow asked him to move in, could this mean it was something more? Well after convincing him to ditch those corn rows and update his wardrobe a little I'm thinking she saw something in him I'd missed.

It didn't take him long to settle in, we set him up with a bed in Tad's room after realising we actually have no spare rooms for guests anymore.

He does like to sing though, he sings in the bath and in the shower.

He even sings while fishing, luckily he has a nice voice, certainly sounds better than I do when singing in the shower.

And he's very charming.

Yes Willow that is exactly what you do when a man gives you flowers, make a silly face at him, the girl has no idea how to be romantic.

But she can certainly make him laugh.

They decided to take a trip into town, I know Imsety has seen it all repeatedly but that was as a tourist, only they seemed to have taken a stray with them.

I have no idea how it happened, maybe he was haunting Willows car when she drove off in it.

"Dallas what are you doing here, Willow called me to say she saw you outside the bistro, I thought it was one of her jokes at first."

"I just wanted to get out, I never go anywhere I'm stuck in that house all the time and when I saw them leaving well I took a chance."

"Well why didn't you just say something instead of sneaking off, come on while were here lets have dinner, not like they can refuse to serve ghosts when the ghosts family owns the place."

As for Imsety and Willow, well they went to watch a movie.

Then just as we left the bistro, they arrived there for dinner so we went home and left them to be alone together.

And it did the trick.

It looks like Princess Willow has finally found her Prince Charming.

Chapter 81: Fast Potato

Whatever secret Imsety had used for staying young so long had most definitely worn off, in fact he was almost an old man now, when he came to stay he was just two days away from his birthday.

But there was something he very much wanted to do before it arrived.

We kept it just a family affair, Willow would have freaked at a room full of guests, she wont even go on a family group outing and makes excuses and leaves.

They both looked lovely and I've never seen her so happy.

Oh Tad for once can't we have a wedding where the family actually watch it, talk about rude.

Needless to say we wont be needing that spare bed anymore.

We didn't bother with a wedding cake because we knew there was going to be birthday cake that evening instead.

It's been a whirlwind few days for Willow, In the space of three days she has gone from being a single woman to a married and expecting one.

They both want a girl which is very handy as we are nearing the end now and Willow must have a daughter, good job she grew all those watermelons then.

Imsety though was a big surprise, would you believe he wants to be a Ghost Hunter, well just so long as he leaves ours alone I'm okay with it.

After all we wouldn't want them to miss out on moments like this.

I often find ghosts down in the museum, Garrison was in Kelly's room, I've found China in Tad's before and Dallas is often in Grace's room, why not mine? well I guess for him I haven't changed much but his little girl is all grown up and he likes to remember her when she was daddy's little princess.

The wedding presents arrived, I never know how the ghosts go shopping but somehow they do, Dallas and China sent pictures, Garrison sent them an enormous fountain, they even got a brain enhancing machine from Pete Kent, the fiery ghost Willow befriended in the graveyard. We don't have room for most of this stuff but the skating rink Stone bought them can stay for a bit, I have a feeling that was more for himself than for Willow and Imsety mind you.

"Gran I think the baby's coming."

"Oh god let me get Imsety, hold on and we'll get you to the hospital."

"No Gran I think the baby's coming right now!".

Imsety got there just in time to see his little girl enter the world.

For a couch potato Zahra sure made a fast entrance.

Is she winking?

Maybe it was just wind.

And after such an exhausting performance was it any wonder she dropped straight off into a blissfully heavy sleep right there in her mother's arms.

It's okay. Something unexpected always happened and we don't know when. At least you bring us another chapter anyway!

I'm so excited! Soon, I will reach the end of the story and see the epilogue but that also makes me sad, I mean that I will never see your story again beside this one

Unless that you have another story to share, Turoskel.

Ooh, I just look at the first page and looks how you do makeover to your thread! You even give information about the Shallow's, spouses and the spares. I love that!

Oh! The question just pop out from nowhere! Where do you get idea for your title? So far I liked them all, it's so fit to the story

80 - 81

Is there any chance to get Ambrosia while eating outside? Usually that only happens inside the bistro with some question that pop out from nowhere isn't it? Congrats on the new lover.

How much watermelon that Willow ate to ensure the 7th generation is a girl? Oh! Once I got my heiress winking at the camera. It's so random! Welcome Zahra!

Nettlejuice · « **Reply #233 on:** November 23, 2013, 05:51:50 AM »

Imsety stayed young just for Willow, that's great you managed to get him into the family. Welcome, Zahra, I'[m guessing she also had a dirty nappy? =P

Turoskel · « **Reply #234 on:** November 23, 2013, 06:12:38 AM »

Title ideas just come off the top of my head as I'm writing the chapter, sometimes they just seem obvious others I have to try and come up with something that sort of fits what happens.

I try to go for 10 of whatever fruit, I know what the code says and I realise that is probably overkill but I do it anyway

No chance for ambrosia as far as I know, I've never even had it at the bistro, Imsety just got age stuck for some reason and I'm thinking possibly that last time I invited him over with Wafaa unstuck him and he then got the npc age bug and jumped right past young adult

Of course Willow was still a teenager then so by the time I got them together he was almost an elder.

No other stories, took me nine months to finish this game, I'd like to try the other dynasties though so there may be something in the future, but no promises on that.

As you can see from Imsety's clothes I got India Inspirations from the complete your set deal around this time, gave me the perfect excuse to use it, and them having to have a girl meant I'd have all those lovely clothes for her when she grew up I just wish it had stuff for all ages in it.

Chapter 82: Who's your daddy?

Even after all this time Grace still loves to cook, and she is always on the lookout for new ways of doing so, she recently got herself a Teppanyaki grill.

"This is no ordinary onion prepare to be amazed!".

Volcanic onions, whatever next, what was it they said about Grace in school? oh yes, most likely to burn down her own house, oh dear.

Imsety is enjoying fatherhood although I do wish he'd at least clean the ectoplasm off himself before picking Zahra up, she doesn't seem to mind though.

My phone never stops ringing lately, and no it's not those old deaths door fogies, it's one who already entered.

"Look Harold for the last time I do not want to go on a date with you, besides you are dead already, what do you mean you thought I liked dead guys?"

Willow is doing good on her requirements, she's supermaxed her gardening and needs just one more opportunity and all before her adult birthday, at this rate she might do it as fast as Tad, it will depend on work really and both honeymoon and maternity leave mean she hasn't been for a while, and then of course she will need to get a little more sociable to make some friends. Maybe that is why she is having a mid life crisis.

"Hmm, I wonder if there is a wrinkle cream formula in here?".

Well it's the moment of truth, now we shall finally see who Zahra takes after.

Well it's nice that Willow finds it so amusing.

Yep there's no doubting who her daddy is, just look at that nose! she got her mum's eye and hair colour at least.

I got straight to work on Zahra's portrait, well perhaps she will grow into that nose, here's hoping anyway.

Kelly has been amusing herself down at the local Laundromat, I guess she could be doing worse things than dumping peoples washing on the floor but really Kelly, must you?

Imsety waited a long time for a family and in some ways it's come a little too late, it's unlikely he will be around to see Zahra graduate but he's making sure she gets as much time with him as possible while he can.

"Oooh more flowers, why thank you Dallas that's so sweet."

"You really need to stop giving me so many flowers, this place is like a florists shop."

"Never!".

"Well I guess I'll just have to get another table then."

Painting Willow's portrait brings home how close we are getting now, she will only need one more before her ambrosia.

And what of Zahra, what will she grow up to be? and who will grow up with her? I just hope Buddy doesn't turn out to be another Pat.

Nettlejuice · « **Reply #236 on:** November 23, 2013, 12:49:21 PM »

Zahra's a cutie, I can ignore the nose. Dead guys calling Tracey, that's just really creepy - but not Dallas, lol.

Turoskel · « **Reply #237 on:** November 23, 2013, 01:01:13 PM »

Oh she got all sorts of attention from some very odd places, it gets weirder than Harold trust me

Chapter 83: Unfazed

Zahra is totally unfazed by everything, the ghosts don't bother her.

Her mother's zombie makeup doesn't bother her.

Her grandmother's claw bothers her slightly.

But only for a moment.

And she has taken to reading like a duck to water.

I had the urge to play guitar in the park today, I was rather surprised to see a young lady wearing my old top, she probably thinks it's very sophisticated to be able to say she is wearing a vintage item, little does she realise just how vintage it actually is.

Imsety has been promoted and can now scan for spirits, not sure if he will find any in Max's old bedroom mind you seeing as Max is busy haunting our house.

He does find one in the old McDermott Barn though, and I thought my top was vintage fashion.

Pat has been hanging about Zahra and Buddy, he just appeared in the nursery and stayed there, at times I feel sorry for him even though I've never actually met him, I just know behind that doll is a potential person, albeit a not very pleasant one but circumstances meant he grew old without ever becoming real and having the sort of life Puzzle and China had, looks like Buddy might suffer the same fate.

Assuming he grows up that is, well I guess we shall know soon enough as it's Zahra's birthday.

Well it would seem he did and unlike Pat he seems to be much nicer, according to Zahra he's easily impressed a bit clumsy and really likes cameras, no evil divas this time then.

We set Zahra up a temporary bed in the nursery for the night, after checking for monsters she was happy to sleep there for now.

True to her couch potatoness she soon got settled in front of the television the next morning, that was until she got a phone call.

The science lab wanted her to bring them a rainbow gem, well we have lots of gems thanks to Tad so she set off to hand it in and came out with an imaginary friend metamorphum potion, just a shame she wont be able to give it to Buddy.
