The Does of Dragon Valley

[Playalot]

lol I was thinking, 'Oh good traits' as I was reading too!! The toddlers both look unique and lovely so that's good too. 

[PeregrineTook]

Hmmm, I'm up in the air about the next heir.  Either could end up really interesting with those traits.
Genetics-wise, have you considered abducting proposing to and marrying a foreigner?  Perhaps from that foreign land of University?  Or France.

[KRae]

@Alex , The no shoes dress code is rather unique.
@hazelnut , It's amazing what we've come to accept as good traits.
@Playalot , The toddlers seem to take after their mother's side of the family. In other words, not boring.
@PeregrineTook , That exotic land of University may be their best bet, but the long load screen is scary.

The twins learned their skills quickly and had plenty of time for play.
Hannah: The laptop’s broken and Daddy’s trying to repair it. I hope he survives.
Me too, Hannah, me too.


Roland: You’re right, the little people are much tastier than the blocks.


Ruth and Christopher have a wonderful relationship. I’m not sure how, but I’m grateful.


Now this is the Ruth we know and love. Go to a party at the O’Reilly’s, who into gen 6 are still alive, insult the hosts and tell jokes. Don’t forget to scare them on your way out.


Eva finds Ruth’s form of evilness quite boring. If I had Pets, she would probably be doing a Cruella Deville by now.


Christopher completed his Professional Author LTW quickly, and decided a job outside the house would be a good idea. He’ll start on Monday in the science career. Fritz will be at his astronaut job and Ruth will be teaching, but the toddlers will be okay at home with Anna and Cleo for a couple  of days. Right?


Wrong. Sunday night, at age 90, Anna left with Grim.


For some reason, it was especially difficult for Cleo.


Leona autonomously comforted her clone. Death seems to have improved Leona’s personality.


Fritz found himself carrying around Anna’s guitar. It made him feel closer to her.


The next night Fritz was scheduled to work until 1am. He left early at 10:40pm. Uhoh. Rest in Peace, Fritz Doe, age 92. Your steadying presence will be missed.

[PeregrineTook]

Still no preference on the next heir, but enjoying the current one!  Ruth's hateful pleasantness is a delight!

[Alex]

I agree about Ruth - she's got a wonderfully weird personality

[Playalot]

Chloe seems more upset that Grim claimed Anna before she could do away with her! Either that or she's just hit the angry stage of grief first!

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook , I'm slightly favoring Roland due to his coloring, but only slightly.
@Alex , Ruth is one of those sims that I could watch all day just to see what she does next.
@Playalot , With Cleo it's probably the anger stage thing first, last, and always.

The next day, Roland blew out his candles first. He is Neurotic, a Loner, and a Vegetarian. Okay, no more meat dishes. Got it.


Hannah is now Insane, Excitable, and Brave. We can live with that.


Roland’s first wish was to learn how to paint. Just as he was enjoying his alone time, Hannah popped the same wish.
Roland: Good thing I’m not Grumpy.


Ah, tiny plant, you’ve been ignored for far too long.


What’s wrong?
Roland: Something moved out there.


Roland: Okay, so it was a bug.


Hannah is more worried about what’s under beds.
Hannah: This is Cleo’s bed. It explains a lot.


Ruth and Cleo were having an argument about nuclear waste or yellow signs.


Before they could start to exchange punches, Ruth swirled out of her work clothes and became an adult.


The fight was delayed by mere moments. It was bound to happen.


It was good practice for the next burglar. Our observant Ruth beat the tar out of him, and then found out he’s Evil, Insane, and Excitable and wanted to get to know him better. No you’re not singing karaoke with him in the middle of the night.


They share a moment of family peace the night before their next birthday. Stop worrying about dirty dishes, Roland, you’ve cleaned them all. It’ll be okay.

[Alex]

I love Hannah's fairy outfit with big boots - pretty, but with her feet protected from any monsters that might be lurking under beds.

Also nice of Cleo to cheer for Ruth's birthday before resuming their fight

[Playalot]

Loved Hannah making sense of Cleo's personality through finding monsters under Cleo's bed! 

[PeregrineTook]

Pretty sure that's Leona under Cleo's bed  ;=)
Still up in the air, but I think I'm leaning a bit more towards Hannah.  The insane ones are always fun  :=)

[JudesSims]

I'm really enjoying this story! "It was bound to happen" indeed. Too funny!

[KRae]

@Alex , I think that's her formal wear.
@Playalot , Very clear thinking for an insane sim.
@PeregrineTook , I keep going back and forth on these two. Their teen traits put Hannah in the lead.
@JudesSims , Thanks! I've found that writing about all their silliness makes me look at my sims through fresh eyes.

The next day Roland added Absent-Minded to Neurotic, Loner, and Vegetarian.


Maybe he would forget to stare out windows…..Nope.


Here’s Hannah after aging up. She’s now Insane, Excitable, Brave, and a Daredevil. This is a great combination of traits!


So what is the first brave, daredeviish thing she does? Paint.


Way to go Ruth, scare the one who’s already nervous about everything.


Hannah gives herself a good talking to.


Someone’s watcher went on a little shopping spree.
While everyone was at school and work, Cleo visited the Early Learning Center. It’s never too late for early learning.


For a town of mostly elders, Dragon Valley is certainly a party place. Almost every night someone’s invited. Christopher ran into Mitch and told him about his latest promotion. One of Mitch’s simbots, Kathleen Doe, is Christopher’s boss.


All members of the family eventually make it out to the local nectary. It’s a good place to meet new sims. Roland is the first one to actually wish to learn to make nectar. He’s really good at it.


This lovely girl, Mindy Lowe, followed the teens home from school. A little map stalking revealed that she apparently lives with her mother and two toddlers. If there’s a father, he’s never home.


Mindy was more interested in cuddling in the hot tub than homework.


Cleo is now an elder.
Cleo: I look good. Good enough to clone.

[hazelnut]

Nice to see the Return of the Tiny Plant

Cleo: I look good. Good enough to clone.

 

[Playalot]

Poor Roland, I loath the Absent-Minded trait....queue up a load of things... nope, forgotten! 

[Alex]

Here’s Hannah after aging up. She’s now Insane, Excitable, Brave, and a Daredevil. This is a great combination of traits!

It really is - although she'll be able to eat beetles and dirt .
