The Smith Dynasty(completed)

[Nilla]

That was a lot of drama! Great updates, I’m glad they seem happy together again now.

[Joria]

The hot tub whoo hoo is a riot.  I loved this update and seeing them back together again. 

[ratchie]

Looking good Hebe!
I know pretty hot for a women in her eighties.
So what you up to?
I am just of to a community lot.

You don't think you should use a safer form of transport.
Not at all.
Or perhaps wear a safety helmet.
Why whats the worse that could happen.
Um death!
I have a death flower, come on Grim if you think your hard enough!
Fair enough, by the way where are you going.
Guess.
The library?
Nope.
The grocery store.
Nope.

A tattoo. Doesn't that hurt?
Kinda tickles.
You go grandma!

So what did you get?
Can't you tell?
Not really.
It is Grim playing a guitar.
Cool!
Meanwhile Sunset has been invited over to a friends house.

So your a single dad then?
Sunset don't you think he is a bit old for you.
Shush voice, So what do you think me and you in oh about 3 weeks time.
Sunset this is really inappropriate.
Later's stud muffin.

  Hilarious! I love the conversation between Sunset and that Adult.

Just a quick update on each family member.

Hebe is enjoying Immortality she spends her days socialising and hanging out with her many friends. I am thinking of sending her out on a few dates most likely with younger men. Lets face it you cannot get much older then her. Hebe the cougar 

Sam is 77 days old he has completed his lifetime wish so I usually just let him do what he wants.

Bronte is 1 day off becoming an elder. She needs to get two more points on the writing skill and she will have fulfilled her immortal requirements. Oh yeah just remembered she needs to sell a painting for at least 1500 to reach level ten of the painting career but that shouldn't be a problem.

Herbert is employed in the angler career. He came with the brave and loves the outdoors traits it seemed sensible to make the most of them. He also came with level 7 handiness with also if you excuse the pun comes in handy as I don't want any of my immortals gaining any skill points in that area.

Kumquat is 4 days from adulthood. She spends her time working on her supermax skill. She will be getting a job in the medical field very soon.

Sunset is 3 days from becoming a teen. She is destined to become a superstar athlete with athletics as her supermax skill. I have plans for her to marry an older man. At this point in the challenge I believe an older spouse is just good strategy.

O Hebe is getting something to play with Great!

I agree that older spouses are better than younger, once you pass few generations. Sadly, but their main and, in most of the times, only contribution is a heir. Good luck to Kumquat with career, you could have her supermax logic in WA, in China at least she could look for stars, have ranged chess matches and tutor around, but I don't doubt that you two will make it on time.

[ratchie]

Bonjour my petti pois.
Kumquat you do realise you just said hello my little peas.
Do you av une a nectar rack sil vous plait?
Your french really needs some work Kumquat.
Danke schön
Ok now that is German for thank you but well done anyway.
Um I mean Merci
That is better.
Did you get a nectar maker?
No I don't know how to.
I will look at Pam and Carl's Sims 3 guide later.
Who are Carl and Pam.
They my little Kumquat are the font of all knowledge.

So I cannot help but notice that you are rich?
Not to mention near your own age Sunset.
Yes but also rich.
Who is this your talking to.
His name is Laron Goth he is an insane loner and did I mention he is rich.
Wow insane Hebe is going to love him.Why are you looking at your shoes.
Just thinking of how many pairs of shoes my rich husband could buy me.
So your not interested in marrying an older man now then.
No he is already an adult so he will probably be dead by the time I am old enough to get married besides he isn't...
Rich yeah we all get it.

Happy birthday Bronte.
I wish to stay beautiful forever.

Bronte are you o.k?
Sniffle, gulp, hic.
Bronte you still look lovely.
I am so old and hideous.
Really it is not that bad.

There you go a bit of hair dye and you look just the same as you always did.
Not exactly the same.
Stop sulking your not a teenager anymore.
That is very evident.

Bronte is not happy with her elder look but I think she looks pretty good for an elder. Here she is in her everyday and formal outfits. I decided to keep the shorter curls I think they suit her.

[Lilygirl]

Great update as always!

I'm quite enjoying Sunset's quest for a husband. She seems to be very open-minded in terms of age, not so much in terms of wealth, though!

[ratchie]

I know two posts in one day you lucky lucky people.


This is Bronte's elder portrait. She looks so young in it. This just goes to show how a person looks through the eyes of their loving husband. Bronte and Sam have had a long and happy marriage they got married the day she turned young adult I know she will be heartbroken when he goes. The amusing thing was right after Sam completed this portrait Bronte of her own freewill went and held his hands, kissed him and popped up a wish for woohoo. I am guessing she really liked the portrait.

These next shots are from Sunsets birthday party. Just for a change we decided on a swimwear party.

The young gentlemen with blond hair and dark skin is named Van Stokes. He was a child when he got invited to the party and arrived as a teen. I think he is a newspaper deliverer which means he is out of the running for Sunsets hand.
The young man with the red hair is Laron Goth as we discovered before he is an insane loner. He must really like Sunset to be around all these people.
The man stood next to Laron is Sunsets older man. He is called Reuben and he is already an adult with a teenage daughter. So he is probably out of the running too.
Sunset has also met a boy called Nicholas at school. He has bright orange hair. That is all I know about him so far.

Another birthday shot. The young lady in the green top is Reuben's teenage daughter. She was a child two days ago.

Here is Sunset all grown up. Reuben seems to like it which in the real world would be very worrying but in the Sims not so much. Laron looks like he is about to throw up which is not the best sign. The man with the dark hair and blue top to the right of the picture seems to be interested. I have no idea who he is I don't recall inviting half of these people.

Here is Sunset after her makeover. I was going to give her short hair but look at her she is stunning a proper beauty queen.

O.k ten points if you can guess what Sunsets lifetime wish is going to be. Her traits are Brave, daredevil,adventurous and friendly.

[Asleep]

Either Seasoned Traveler or Great Explorer? Those were funny updates. Sounds like Sunset really likes money!

[Chsharpe]

Sorry to be a killjoy but aren't tatoos banned or has the problem been fixed. And Ratchie I love the way you tell the story,

[ratchie]

We are allowed to give our immortals tattoos when they have eaten ambrosia as it won't have any effect to the challenge at that point.

Later's stud muffin~~!  Hilarious.  Great update.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. I am planning on Sunset working on the Great Explorer lifetime wish. I have never attempted it before but it wouldn't be called a challenge if it were easy. I did debate doing the superstar athlete LTW but I have done it so many times before I might just get bored with it.

Rachel

[Anushka]

Rachel, that wish is pretty easy to fulfill, but I would advise you to reconsider it. My current immortality to be almost got that LTW but after adventure board got bugged no adventures were available, not even the small ones, nor did the message appear about coming another day. Also if she got a phone call, she would act like wrong number is dialed and hang up without any message popping up. And it stayed bugged for a several trips until I gave up. And most of tombs are not possible to fully research without adventure. So maybe reconsider having her martial arts related LTW and do adventures along the way? Or is it too late? It does sound like you already chose her LTW.
And she's a beauty!
