The next day there were two birthdays. First up was Victor. He’s now a Perfectionist.
Victor: These clothes are not perfection.
You might have time to fix that later. You need to register as a painter.
Veda became a Young Adult. She wants to be a Renaissance Sim ( she has for a while now). Her traits are Brave, Excitable, Neat, Born Saleswoman, and Unflirty.
Veda: Just as soon as I eat my cake, we’re fixing this.
Victor asked Whiskey to teach him to drive. They took off in the motive mobile, and all was well until about 3am. When he was at level 2+, they suddenly quit and ended up at opposites side of town from each other. Of course this happened.
Veda: I’m a grownup now, and it’s up to me to discipline you. You’re grounded!
Victor: I was just learning to drive, and Mom abandoned me.
Veda let him off the hook.
It went much better the next day.
Who let you out, Pal? That’s just creepy.
Veda gifted Pal to Whiskey. Victor followed her advice and did the same with Snuggles. The dolls are now sitting in the family graveyard.
Wine has been at level ten in social networking for quite some time now. Getting that five star block has been more difficult. Things started going faster at about 3 stars.
Wine: Just another 200 followers or so and I never have to write another post. Who am I kidding? I love it!
Whiskey was off fishing when the sparkles hit.
Whiskey: I don’t mind the white hair or the wrinkles, but these overalls will never do.
Go catch some deathfish. You’re almost at level ten, then you can change.
With her extra happiness points, Whiskey bought an extra motive mobile. They’ve been known to disappear sometimes when elders park them somewhere and die.
Barry and Whiskey finally have time to enjoy each other’s company.
Victor has been consigning his paintings and is at level 3 in his painting career.
Victor: The clothes, Watcher?
Oh sorry, before prom. I promise.
Family togetherness time! Victor is at level 6 in painting. Veda has maxed gardening and is working on her third skill, logic. When Barry's gauge is full, he will max logic. It’s very close now.
Victor went to prom. He saw this girl, and I was hoping it was a some enchanted evening moment, but no. They didn’t interact and he never saw her again.
While Victor was off becoming prom king, Wine completed his lifetime Blog Artist wish.
That night, Barry, age 31, made the mistake of sitting in the rocking chair of death. He completed his LTW, his career, the logic skill, and provided a medium tombstone. Thanks for the 4 points, Barry.
Grim stuck around to play video games.
Wine, no! Get out of that chair!
Wine: Relax, I’m only 26.
Grim: Yes, who doesn’t like music? I’m not dancing with you.
Victor’s birthday was the next day. It was such a time of joy.
Victor’s traits are Artistic, Friendly, Snob, Perfectionist, and Neurotic. He conveniently wants to be a Visionary.
Nice clothes.
Victor: I’m keeping them…exactly the way they are.
Even though each sim is limited to 9 travel days, a quick week at university may be just the thing to build up Victor’s painting skill and, most importantly, meet that special someone.
Victor was evidently listening to that final Photography tabcast while taking the test.
Victor signed up for one class, packed his bag, waved goodbye, and was off.
Family: Have fun storming the castle!
