A Phillosopher's Tale - A Life States Dynasty (Chapter 6 7/20)

[Nettlejuice]

Jules is much improved! The girls are all gorgeous, I get the feeling a vampire will be the next heir. Or I could be wrong 

[peachjam]

Yay!!! Andrea is gorgeous! Love her style, too!

[laurela]

@Nettlejuice Thank you! Well, we'll see soon enough 
@peachjam Thank you very much!

CHAPTER FOUR: Does It Ever Drive You Crazy.... Just HOW SLOW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS

Andrea definitely enjoyed her childhood. She absolutely loved playing with her toys and baking. She also especially loved using the prize claw machine.

Because she was just THAT lucky, somehow she ended up grabbing and Sun-Cut Pink Diamond!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Like? How could she even do that? I've never even found a regular pink diamond and somehow she can get that from an arcade game? Anyway, Andrea always did her homework at a very fast pace (Thanks glitch?). She also definitely got the family trait of eating.. and eating.. and eating....
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I decided to keep writing books because (a) Jules was a lazy bum who didn't want to work and (b) I am basically the breadwinner of this family, so yeah. I tried my hand at writing another Masterpiece. It took 3 days this time (Thank you Moodlet Manager!!) and it was entitled Desiderata.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

We eventually decided to expand our house because, well Andrea needed a place to sleep, and we'd eventually need all the more space for her future spouse.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

As for Jules, he was on elixir duty to give us a lifetime supply of Potent Invigorators, Fountain of Youths, and Potent Blisses. The consignment store lady (where Jules bought all his ingredients because he hated gardening) was a weird, pale green vampire name Carmella Hai.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Jules didn’t really like her.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

One day, Jules came in and just saw Carmella turn.... old. Like, really old.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

A few days later, it was Andrea's birthday! And everyone was certainly happy! Andrea certainly grew up to be a beautiful, young woman. (well, teen, I guess)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Her teen years were basically spent by her doing her homework really fast (Thanks again glitch), going to prom with Waylon Wolff, learning Alchemy, Cooking, & Spellcasting, and me teaching her how to drive. (I gave up on that, by the way.)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

A few days after Andrea's birthday, Annie came home! And of course, a makeover was greatly needed.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Annire grew up to be beautiful, but she wanted to live away from her family, so she got a little old shack far away from town and she was happy there until she died.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

A week later, the dishwasher broke. Usually, this isn't a problem but silly BONEHILDA forgot to clean the floor first before fixing the dishwasher. The result? An electrocuted Bonehilda and a fire which was stopped by Jules. (Thank you Ice Blast!)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After everyone stopped freaking out, the fire department came. And surprise, surprise, they were LATE. Seriously the response time was super slow, even though I wasn't keeping count but I'm sure they were at least an hour late.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

A couple of hours later, everything (including Bonehilda) was back to normal as if nothing happened. But the fire was still the topic while we were watching TV.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I am working on making a family tree for the entire family, so stay tuned for that I guess. Other than that, a lot of the chapters have been written and my game is still in progress so woo!

[Nettlejuice]

So pretty, love the makeovers you gave them. Those silly firemen and Bonehilda , I haven't seen a 'fleshy' Bonehilda before. Andrea is super lucky, I have always gotten junk or worthless items from the claw machine.

[dontmindme]

Good looking girls. Good luck to Andrea! Hope she finds a great spouse and completes her reqs quickly!

[laurela]

@Nettlejuice Thank you! Neither have I, but she pretty much has the same genes as the Grim Reaper. Yeah she is! Her lucky trait totally worked for her this time.
@dontmindme Thank you very much!

I may or may not post an update today, we'll see because I'm feeling lazy to edit pictures for the next chapter. 

[laurela]

CHAPTER FIVE: Too Hot, Perhaps?

I passed by the elixir store this time, and I was surprised to see a new face manning the cash register.
"Hi! I'm Becky Younan, how may I help you?"
"What happened to Ca--"
"Carmella Hai? Oh she died."
She said that with a smile on her face. Weird girl.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And now, as Andrea is going into young adulthood, it is time to pass on the storytelling privilege to her.
(A voice at the back of the room) "Mom, you don't have to make it sound special. Also it's not a privilege it's a burden."
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Anyways, hi I'm Andrea. Yeah you already know me so I'll make this quick. My mom has to do this and we all have to do that and blahblahblah. You know the drill so let's get back to what's happening.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I didn't realize it was already my birthday! I was excited to finally leave school and focus more on life and finishing these requirements, I guess. I think I grew to look okay. (Dad thinks otherwise)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I liked the color red a lot (if it wasn't obvious yet), so I decided to make it my lipstick color. I also like green. And suddenly I looked like the flag of Italy (or I loved Christmas too much).
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Today was also graduation day! I was class valedictorian and I was voted 'Most Likely To Be A Rockstar' for some reason. I don't play a single instrument but thanks! To celebrate my graduation, my family and I, of course, ate!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

At a young age, I was deeply interested in baking, so I'm not surprised I took on cooking. I loved making whatever concoctions of food with the ingredients I had. Of course, my food tasted delicious and they were all perfect.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I eventually learned about ghost chillies, which are the hottest chillies in the world. I took a bite of it and it was amazing. Although, I had to make a quick trip to the bathroom afterwards. Mom and dad weren't so fond of it. Too hot, perhaps?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I enjoyed working at the Van Gould Merhcant House and Cafe. The people there were nice, the place had great ambience, and my boss was my mom's best friend, so it was quite easy to go far in the job.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

One day, the owner of the place, Tristan Van Gould, came in to do an inspection. That included employee inspection and food inspection. As the best chef there, everyone decided that I should cook the food Tristan should eat. Needless to say, he wasn't disappointed. He thanked me for the meal and I truly fell in love with him. Yeah I know, that was quick but our relationship moved at lightning speed and sooner than later we got married!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Tristan immediately moved in with me and everyone got along nicely. But clearly something had to be done with Tristan's face.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ah, that's better. The new hairstyle also suits him nicely. As usual, we settled down to watch TV.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Because I wasn't getting any younger, I rushed to make elixirs and I just decided to throw them at random sims at the park.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

At one point, I was so desperate to be able to cook 75 dishes, that I took it to La Shove Beach (Hey! Don't laugh! I actually finished!). Strangely enough, all the food was gone in the morning. (DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

We decided to expand the house again, so that everyone is covered until like the next two generations.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Much like my mom, I finished my requirements a few days before I became an elder, and of course to celebrate, besides eating, I drank a young again potion! I also got a little bit of plastic surgery.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And well..... I think you know what happened next.

[Nettlejuice]

Must resist looking at spoilers!

That smirk, Becky, I bet she had something to do with Carmella's death  I forgot how cute and funny the animations for spicy food is. Andrea reminds me of Ellen Page, so pretty.

CHAPTER SIX: If You Don't Succeed, Try Again

Where were we? Oh right. Me and Tristan had a bit of fun..
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

....And now I'm pregnant!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

While Tristan and I were celebrating our first nooboo,  Mafi and Jules were outisde on the swing set
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

They are SO relationship goals. Anyway, a few days passed and I went into labor.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

At first I thought, 'Hey, this isn't as bad as mom told me.' But I was so wrong. A few hours later, our baby Mikayla came into the world!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

BUT she was a witch, like me. So we had to keep trying for vampire nooboos. But first, we had to age her up, of course.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Soon enough, I got pregnant again and I gave birth to twin vampires!! Yay!! We named them Michaela and Ella. I eventually chose Ella to be the heir (because Absent-Minded and Heavy Sleeper are better than Evil and Couch Potato!).
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Because there were already 7 of us in this house, it was getting harder to manage everyone, so I had to ask Jules to move out, along with Mikayla and Michaela. Mom was a bit sad, but she knew they had to go.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Bye Jules, your elixirs will be missed.
Since Ella was a vampire, she had no problem learning skills and all we had to do was spend time with her. She also got this peculiar doll in the mail from a distant Aunt May. Mafi, who in the world is Aunt May?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Then, it was Ella's birthday! We were so happy to have another birthday in this household!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ella grew up, of course, gorgeous and even her little friend (that's what she told me) grew up with her!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Happy to announce that my final generation (7th) is almost done with her teen requirements! Woohoo! HoF here I come! In other news, the family tree has been updated to include everyone, including the last generation. So you can check it out in the first post if you don't mind spoilers.

[Metropolis Man]

Congratulations, laurela! You are now in the Sims 3 Dynasty Hall of Fame.

Congratulations, laurela! You are now in the Sims 3 Dynasty Hall of Fame. 

Yay! Thank you so much Metro! 

[laurela]

Hello everyone, I have decided to discontinue this story of my dynasty. I've simply just lost the time to continue it, and I've been having a lot of fun exploring The Sims 4.

This may most likely become a summary instead, so all of you may get to know the heirs. But as of the moment, I have no plans to continue the actual story itself. Thank you to everyone who has read this story, and hopefully I get to actually post a summary soon!
