Another Hollingsworth Dynasty Story - Completed

[Nettlejuice]

Julien, what a perfect name and he's quite a handful already. I laughed all the way through his conversation with the Bear, you always know how to bring out the best in your Sims. I know the police career has it's ups and downs but it's fun nonetheless and I think it's wonderful how you worked the glitches into your story. Always a pleasure to read updates on the Hollingsworth! <3

What a great father/son bonding trip, I gotta make my sims do that kind of stuff more often. Julien is a riot, good luck with him! LOL

[hazysmith]

What a lovely wee trip to Granite Falls, Julien's conversation with the bear was hilarious. Loved the observation about how time stands still for other sims while you're at work with Caleb. Its looks annoying but the police career looks fun!

Love Helena's new coif and the way Caleb's swimming trunks match his mohawk, hahaha.

You made the comment to dethduk a few chapters ago about working like a Trojan to max your doctor career.  I'd never heard that expression before and thought you might be referring to a brand, but I googled it.

I'd realized with a start last night that you weren't showing Caleb's face.  I hadn't noticed before because I'd just been inserting Matt's face, haha.

BAHAHAHHAHAHEehheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*dies*

What great screenshots when you had Caleb on the 'beat'! The hands covering his face? Really clever. Julian's personality is fantastic, you are great at being able to have such individual personalities for each of your sims. Loved the camping trip, and the conversations with the bear and ranger.. more please!

Oh my gosh, you guys crack me up totally! I'm sitting here laughing at all your comments!  Thanks for reading and sticking with my story!

I've realized something... I always match male swimming trunks to their hair!! How weird is that?!? 

[oshizu]

A little question about the doctor career for you.
Thanks to all of your tips, my sim is zipping along with his doctor career.
Today, one of the dynasty pollinator's girlfriends came in sick. She looked pregnant but was actually treated with bloaty head.
I wanted to ask you if the pregnant sim that Zahra delivered was a random townie and if all pregnant sims requiring delivery would be random townies.

[Playalot]

@oshizu, the pregnant sim that Zahra treated was a random townie. I don't know if you would get an in-house sim or not. I had just assumed that all the pregnant sim's would be game generated seeing as it's a promotion requirement. It would take a bit more game play time to figure that out, aaaaand to be honest, if I never play the doctor career again, it would be too soon. It's not one of my favs that's for sure. Not enough sand-box type play style for me that allows player in-put to actually affect the outcome.

Chapter 116: A Passing



Hey Grim!
Grim: Hiya watcher.
Soo, whatcha doing in my neck of the woods? Oh, and by the way... what IS it with all the hand washing in this house?
Grim: Umm...yeah, I dunno, every time I visit you guys I end up having this totally over whelming compulsion to wash my hands.
Yeah, you and every other sim in the simverse. I spend my day cancelling hand washing and auto helping yourselves to drink... gah!
Grim: Hmm, anyhoo... was just reaping Ray.
Oh cool! Thanks.
Grim: Your welcome. Nice guy.
Yeah he was.





Grim: Morning Caleb, long time no see.
Caleb: Yeah, jobs kept me quite busy.
Grim: I know that feeling. Hmm, nice legs your missus has got.
Caleb: What? Are you hitting on my.....er...
Grim: What? No! Geez, it's just that not having any it's nice to see a nice pair.
Caleb: Oh, k then. I guess. So whatcha been up to?
Grim: Just reaping Ray.
Caleb: Oh, nice. Thanks.
Grim: Your welcome.





Julien:...and then Grim sort of sucked up his soul. I didn't know whether to cry or what. Made me feel all weird inside.
Mal: Well Julien, when an old sim has lived their life the Reaper comes along and helps them into the next realm. It's all part of life.
Julien: Is that what happened to you?
Mal: It is.
Julien: I don't want to be helped into the next realm.
Mal: Well, if you work hard and get all your requirements completed you won't ever have to my boy.





Julien: Does that mean I get to live forever?
Mal: If you work hard, yeah, pretty much!
Julien: Woah! Like...woah!





Mal: Ok, I got to go now. Be a good boy and work hard, ok?
Julien: I will great granddad, I really will.
Mal: There's my boy.





Oh! See ya Mal, take care.
Mal: Bye watcher, don't really want to meet Grim. Give that gorgeous wife of mine a hug.





Morning.
Caleb: Before you ask, clear mind distillation. I've run out so I thought I'd make a new batch.





I can always tell when you're making that.
Caleb: How so?
It's smells...well let's just say it has it's own unique aroma.





Caleb: K, well I'm out.





See ya, have a good day. Knock out another chunk in your promotion metre and I'll hang with you tomorrow. K?
Caleb: K, see ya.





Wow, I haven't seen you use the pool in ages!
Dude: I know, life seemed to be really hectic there for a while.
Agreed. Well, enjoy your swim.





After school...

Julien: You know, I want to get my homework done really well from now on.
Dude: That's a good attitude to have.





Julien: Yeah, I'm sick of being in trouble at school all the time.
Dude: You were in more trouble? What for this time?
Julien: I tied a girls braids together.
Dude: Doesn't seem too bad...
Julien: Hmm..I guess the fact that it was around her chair was the deal breaker...when she got up her chair sort of dragged behind her...





Dude: Let me tell you about a little boy who got sent to a planet far far away because he couldn't control his behaviour and so was sent on a quest... to learn how to behave....
Julien: I get it granddad...and like I said, I'm going to be good from now on.





Julien: OK, soo... can my horsey thing jump over other bits to get where he wants?
Dude: Umm, yeah. Maybe we should go over all the names of the playing pieces again eh.





Huh, impressive!
Julien: Thanks, I doubled the amount of...





Thanks *sigh* I'm starting to think that 'trouble' is his middle name.
Dude: Hmm...it's a bit of a worry.





Dude: Make sure you scrub everything twice Julien, don't want the charred smell lingering.
Julien: K, you don't have a smaller mop do you watcher?
Dude: No she doesn't. Get scubbing!





Did Winston say you could use the chemistry table again?
Julien: Yes, just as long as I only used the microscope.
Good plan. Anyway, you've got some friends downstairs.

[CiaraCarter]

Poor Julien, we all have days (weeks even) like that LOL.  Cute scenes with him and Mal though! All my ghosts got lost, I'm bummed.

[Playalot]

@CiaraCarter , aww that's such a shame. Mal's my only ghost left now too. All the rest have been culled. It's basically an absolute that your ghosts will be culled. It's really only a matter of when. This time around I've been using 'paint from reference' to capture everyone's image so at least I have my family wall to remind me.

[Nettlejuice]

Grim's comment about Helena's legs, wish it had gone down the wrong way and he got his butt kicked by another Hollingsworth!

[Playalot]

@Nettlejuice , lol, I did think about it...but seeing as Caleb's a 'good' cop, I decided I'd leave the butt kicking to Mac
