The Jade Dynasty - Failed (Read the New Jade Dynasty!)

[samoht04]

I have a small one that I am going to start when I get home.

Chapter 11 - Ready, Set, Sculpt!

Most mornings begin with the Lower Family eating some breakfast in the kitchen together. Diana tends to sleep at this time of day then Garden in the Afternoon. (You can see where Declan takes after the most...)



That very same day was Dec's birthday into a Teenager...






Dec got the facial features of Gabriella I think, he also got the Slimness of his Mother and no Muscles from his Father what so ever! He got the Sculptor Trait.



Within minutes he was down in the Basement and Sculpting away, he has yet to sleep as a teenager and he has a lot of work to do!



Cemre is really slow at working on Martial Arts and keeps hurting his Hand.



I think I am going to love Dec's neurotic side which has surfaced!



Gabriella only needs her friends now and I am in no rush, so she just Chilaxes with her Sis in the Hot Tub.



This is the new Alto residences, where Gabriella's best Vampire Friend, Carly, Lives. Carly has had a daughter who is a Teenager now. Unfortunately I think she is a Vampire. Nick and his Granddaughter don't get on...




Meanwhile back at home Dec can now sculpt Ice and is going to try and knock out two Challenges (Ice Personality and Master Sculptor) but I am hoping that Cem can get us a Holiday Home for some long term Sculpting.



That is all for now but the family are about to go to China for a holiday and hopefully get to VISA 3!

[Asleep]

Happy Birthday, Declan!

[Lilygirl]

Good luck on your China visa!

Chapter 12 - Cemre's Adventure

We start our Hero int he small town of Shang Simla deep in China. He needs to get some supplies and goes to visit the Merchants. He meets an Old Friend of mine, Wu Character Xio, (Married into Generation 2 of my Legacy)



His first Adventure is to Spar with some old woman who is on the larger side. He thinks he will win.



Final Score = 2-0 to the Woman.

He cycled out of there pretty quickly...



Now he has to Meditate and stuff in the Garden place.



Holy Cowplant! What is That?



After running from the creep he entered some tombs and other places and quickly got to VISA 1.

He battled piles of Rubble.



He opened heavy Chests to take the goods.



He raided ancient Temples.



He dived into Wells.



Meanwhile Madeline was digging holes for him to get around quicker. (However every hole went Glowy Yellow on me)



Then the best news happened...




Life got so much easier with the Pangu's Axe! (If only it worked on Paparazzi back at home)



Cemre left China at a VISA 2 but had a lot of stuff with him. Including TJ the Red Assassin Bug!



Jojo the Ninja Gnome.



The Collections are building up:






Madi was digging a new tunnel at the house when it went glowy yellow again and she came out dressed like this...



Gabriella painted this from Memory!



 (Next Chapter coming very soon, maybe this hour?!)

Chapter 14 - Dec and his Challenges

Let's start this Chapter with Madeline, in the Bath. You may be think 'Why...' well let me tell you. My Sims often are in weird places when LTW's are completed, Madeline just happened to be in the Bath when she completed Swimming in Cash.



Cemre then left for China again but with Dec, Diana and Madeline. (Madeline for her Lifetime Happiness Reward) The first opportunity Cem got was something that had Treasure like this...



Cemre completed more Adventures then got his final one and reached VISA 3!



The new Vacation House (Not fully finished due to low funds)



Madeline was painting and then maxed her skill!



Now that we had a house Dec could start Sculpting! This Sculpture was what caused him to Max out Sculpting, he then shortly completed the Ice Personality and Master Sculptor Challenges, the next day and he had done five Clay Sculptures and five wood which got him his Prolific Sculptor Challenge. At the end of the Holiday he had done five Stone Sculptures. He only needs Five Topiaries and Five Metals to Supermax Sculpting, he is not even half way through Teenager. I am amazed!




He did a Ice Sim of Cemre but on returning home it turned to a disk so I just sold it for $0. He is now at level 7 of the Sculpting Career as well. (With most of his challenges and the Artisan Crafter LTHR)

Dec at the moment has achieved over 60,000 LTHP in his lifetime. My other teens in games have only reached 20,000. He is an A in school. Dec has the LTW of Swimming in Cash which will stop any other Immortal having it, mainly as there are no individual Sculpting LTWs.

Madeline also bought us the first Teleporter Pad of the Dynasty which will be placed at the Home Lot. The next one I get will go to China.

If anyone wants to know anything about either of the Sims in the family just ask! The main house is coming along nicely and is really getting work done!

I love Gabriella's painting! I'm missing the teddys because when ever I have some, sneaky vampire gnomes will appear out of nowhere and turn them ):

I really like sculpting, it is easy to accomplish and more interesting than painting. I made my founder sculpt tons of chairs and tables and what not around the house since he doesn't have to pay for materials after supermaxing the skill. The downside is the lack of LTW, Da Vinci is a bit too much for an immortal to complete so I had to pick a totally unrelated LTW for the founder.

[Asleep]

Was that single read gem is chapter 12 Vampires Eye?

[samoht04]

Yep, one of my favourite Gems. 

[Lilygirl]

WOOT! Go Dec, super awesome teen Sim!

FYI: Pangu's axe works fabulously on the paparazzi.

[samoht04]

Great to know!  I think he will be Supermaxed by the time he is a YA. 

[kattiq]

I WISHED you really could use the Axe on the paparazzi. I hate them following my family around! (especially when Julia is trying to steal something ) I'm impressed that you can keep up with all your stories and still make every single one fantastic! Talent I tell ya, talent.
These last few updates have made me want to make Alexander Lancaster have a level 3 visa so they can have a vacation home too!

[Pam]

Great job, Thomas!  Dec is doing fantastic and he's a good looking Sim, too.  He might have some muscles from his father show up when he ages to YA.  Teens don't have much muscle from my experience.  Also, the reason Cemre keeps hurting his hand is because you probably have him breaking boards that are too high for him.  You have to work your way up through the different types of boards.  In case you didn't already know that. 

[samoht04]

He had a weird moment when he was breaking Space Rocks but no Gems then i remembered he needs Timber Terminator first so changed to Oak Boards and he then started to hurt his hand. It's normal again now though and he is getting loads of Gems. I have all the Basic Cuts of Lapis Lazuli but now I need to do some Transfiguring and such. I think another Holiday should help get Dec to complete his last challenge without that annoying thing in the middle of the day that last from 9am till 1/2pm that stops him from sculpting! I think I will have the next Generation as the Athletic/Martial Arts Sim. I can already see the Moodlet Manager flashing away!

Chapter 15 - A Supermaxed Dec

Dec has now got 4 of 5 Metal Sculptures Completed! Next is the Topiaries.



I sort of showed you Maddy's new outfit from the Glowing Hole, here it is with her designs.



Dec is now a Honour Role(?) Student.



Dec's main Friend from School, Jacques Something. They are Best Friends Forever!




This is how I get my collections: Cemre Breaks the Space Rocks. Then Diana gets them cut, she needs to pick up the Gems though as I forgot about the Heart Cut. Dec gets the Gems cut into Sculptors Eggs.



Diana made her first Skull Cut! Lapis Lazuli, the almost Normal Cuts collection (No Large or Spire/Splits other than Large Skull)




Sometimes my Sims seem to give the impression that they have no Pixel Brains at all...



Well what happened was Gabi was posing for her Adult Sculpture and Dec is getting his Portrait made, if one stuffs up then the other can sabotage! Uh Oh!



Yes I stole Pam's Wedding Dress Idea! But I want a Museum Piece and just something for Dec's Frozen in ice Room.



Waahay! Metal Sculptures = 5 Completed! Only Five Topiaries, that is going to be so easy!



Tiberium is so awesome! There is a Heart Cut that isn't in picture, I placed it up there so I hope it doesn't change On that display? -- Thanks to the extra Tiberium being sold Declan Jade completed his LTW! He now has all his LTHR, Artisan Crafter, Steel bladder and Fireproof Homestead. I may swap out Steel Bladder for something else later on before he is Immortal.



So off to China for a day or two! Cemre got enough Opal to almost make a full collection! (Of Basic Cuts) The House is developing, I am thinking of getting this one which is Communal Living and then getting that really remote place on top of the Hill for any Sims on their own.



Cemre's Meditation garden:




Topiaries here Dec comes! I think Topiaries are an over statement, Hedges are better.



Meet Felix, the Fifth Topiary made by Declan Jade, wait... Does that mean?! Yep it does, Declan Jade is Supermaxed in Sculpting and he is not even a Young Adult!



Who needs Guard Dogs? I have Guard Pandas!



 - - Back at home in Sunset Valley - -

This is Declans Refurbished Frozen in Ice Room, Each section has a Box with Black floor and walls with Light's set to that Sims favourite colour. These are the current pieces, more will be added.
 - Diana Jade (After Ambrosia so does not count)


 - Gabriella Jade (Wedding Dress - I have to be in the other Cubicle to take a picture that is why the light is there)



 - Cemre Jade



 - Madeline Jade (Always in the Sprinklers so I will remember her for it by having one of her in Swimsuit)




My favourite Gem, Vampire Eye, looks really cool in Heart Form!



Gabriella now has her Six Best Friends, pitty that this one (Forgot name!) is a Vampire, she is okay looking. Dec has a woman in mind but she is a lot older than him as she is a quarter into YA. She looks good looking but I can't find her household, she won't come over either.



Dec is now a Level 9 Sculptor Career, Gabriella has the Suave Seller LTHR and sold some of his Sculptures worth about 10,000 for Around 60,000! So Dec only needs a little more to reach the top of his Career! He got an award for going over $25,000



Dec is also a Level 3 in Photography, I don't really care about the Photographs but he needs something to do other than Sculpt!



This is his Property, Fully Upgraded. I think that the Graves and stuff are coming back to the Main House and going deep into the Basements. I miss Chris!



See you next time!
