Do you think he favors his mother looks-wise?
Only in colouring – otherwise, he’s more of a mixture of both parents.
They sure spared their Watcher sim-hours of spamming romantic socials, haha.
Very true
Only I had to keep intervening to make them do little things like eating and sleeping instead!
Nah, they're just making it more challenging - the electronic version of blindfolded chess. They're old enough to be bored with the vanilla version .
Aha! That might be it
I love how in love Matthew and Lily still are. Fifty is a lot of interactions to do autonomously! Very nice!
They’re adorable, but also a little bit sickening
I may have pushed Reuben a little too hard on the song writing front, but he completed his fourth song before he passed out.
Once he’d recovered from the exhaustion, Lily was persuaded to play the piano for a few hours so he could mentor her, and he finished off Musical Genius.
With that out of the way, he’s moved onto painting.
With Matthew’s elder birthday in sight, he began the usual round of spamming cheerful introductions, compliments, and cloudgazing.
His collection of carved camping mascots was added to the family museum.
Reuben became a young adult, and threw himself a gold medal party to celebrate.
And the next day, Matthew became an elder...
...and had his first serving of ambrosia.
Lily aged up a couple of days later.
They renewed their wedding vows, just because.
Reuben’s joined the Painter career, so his life currently consists of being chained to his easel, and not much else.
And the elders are eldering.
A group went into the city so that Ada could learn some new recipes (the only fly in the ointment being that they forgot to invite Ada...).
Chris and Ada are keeping themselves relatively sane by teaching themselves new skills (programming and baking respectively).
Matthew and Lily took to autonomously woohooing in every room in the house.
And, of course, there’s always fishing to be done.
Lily earned her promotion to Double Diamond Agent. Not the most flattering of screenshots, but she was knackered.
Alas, Matthew awoke in the night to be confronted with an extremely unwelcome and unsettling intruder in their bedroom.
Rest in peace, Lil
If there’s a bright side, it’s that there were two empty spots in the household. Reuben rang up a friend of his, Chantel Ojo, and invited her to move in. Chantel’s just into the adult life stage, and is a creative, romantic glutton.
Once she’d had a much needed makeover, Reuben did something he claimed was flirting. It seemed to work, anyway.
They tried for a Gen 7 (
).
And Reuben popped the question. To his apparent surprise, Chantel agreed to marry him.
So she did
