Wonderful update! I'm not sure why EA thinks toddlers need to throw confetti during a retirement party, but hey there it is.

Good luck finding more tiberium.

Just glad I could help out with your HEL stuff.
Thanks! Yeah im sure it's just another one of those entertaining bugs EA has put last on their list to fix :P
The HEL stuff is awesome by the way. My favorite item so far is the aquarium :)

Lately, I've been switching back and forth between my dynasty and challenge because I can't do too much of either or else I get bored! Anyways here's an update!

Julia has finished supermaxing her cooking skill, she's pretty much eligible to eat ambrosia except she needs a few best friends, some portraits and age up to adult and Elder! I wished we could give them Ambrosia whenever they are ready no matter what age they are. xD

So speaking of finding some friends.. Julia decided to go out and talk to some people (plus her social bar was wayy low)


Later on during the conversation Julia was so hungery she ate some garlic. Needless to say her breath did not smell the best and scared her new friend away.. So she decided to brush her teefies.

(can't you see the green aura around her face? yuck!)

Suddenly a wish popped up for Julia. She wanted a Butler!
She begged Elias to get her one because the maid was just not cutting it.

Elias: " Alright amore, ya know how ze butlers are ze are not reliable!"
Julia: " You don't know if ALL of them are like that. PLeeeeeeaaaseee I want one!"


Ended up Julia won the battle and she promptly called up the butler service.

Meet Travis Bartes, he worked well the first day. (see below for more details)

Here's his bedroom. Yes, I know it's pretty dinky but he's just a butler right?


Elias decided he at least needed to lay out some ground rules for Travis

Elias: " Hokayz SO, Non flirting with my wife, Non leaving your trash around ze maison, non leaving before your job is done, ect ect"
Travis: " You got it sir! I won't sleep till everything is done!"


That night, it was time for little Vincent's birthday!


And here he is as a kid. Gosh, I'd have to say he's one of the cutest ones I've ever had!! Just look at that face!

He gained the trait over-emotional (he also has loner, artistic).

As soon as Vincent aged up his first wish was to paint. So here he is painting!


Now it's time for Julia to go on the hunt for Vincent's future spouse! Woo!

Speaking of Spouses.. Holly Lancaster made her first ghostly appearance. Alexander was SO excited to see his wife again! (but for some reason the relationship bar says Holly's is his fiancee??)



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so back to the butler, I'm not sure if it's a glitch but he won't sleep all night! He will get in bed for a hour and then he wakes up walks around and then goes back to bed for another hour. Or he naps all the time. And he also just leaves trash everywhere.. It's rather annoying!
Oh and the second Tiberium finally grew and it was 36k instead of 35k like the last one!!!

My butler keeps cooking! The next time I hire one I will put walls around the stove and give only Pie access. Aww Vincent's so cute! You should have used that expression for the portrait :) I wish we could make them immortal when they are adult but *sigh*.

Yeah I should have used it for the portrait. Oh well when I get Elias to do it I'll wait and see if he does the expression again!
I mean I guess it makes sense to wait till they are an Elder just for the challenge of making sure we keep up with how many days old they are. Which by the way Alexander is 163 days old!!

Vincent is a cutie!
YAY for tiberium! I don't have any yet.
You've played too much TS3 when ... your 13 month old's babble sounds like Simlish!

I always get annoying portrait shots with thought bubbles lol. My Strudel has lived for around 90 years from the start of the game which means he's around 110 years old. Vincent is your 4th gen right? (or 5th? *has bad memory*) My 4th gen just turned into a kid too but Strudel is so much younger than Alexander!

I always get the weird textured portraits!!
Nope, Vincent is actually the 3rd generation! I'm a rather slow player because I've got classes and work all the time. Plus, I'm doing the garden challenge too!

My classes started yesterday but I only have lessons on 3 (long) days. I managed to finish the gardening challenge in 3 days although I didn't get a good score. I work on Saturday and just rejected a tuition job so I am not that busy yet. Strudel is so young because Strudel, Pie and Cookie all got married on the first day they turned YA. I can't play the dynasty for too long at a time because I don't like to control such a large family. I like it when they go on holidays though. :) My portraits always turn out weird. Some are so bad that I can't even tell that it is a portrait. Nowadays when I have to paint one I always do it in the day in a room with large windows.

I'm not sure what "3 long days" mean...haha but I have classes from the morning till about 1 or 2 in the afternoon then I normally work afterward and don't get home till 6 or 7. With the gardening challenge I just get bored with the same thing everyday all day so I have to take a break! I'm hoping when my family gets bigger in the dynasty that it won't slow my game down too much. :\
I always try to find my sim a spouse while they are in high school but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. For Holly, she didn't meet Elias until I fired their first maid and hired a new one and all the boys in her high school were dumb and had horrible traits.(or they were really ugly, I'm a real stickler on my Dynasty's gene pool  :D)
Also, when you are painting a portrait stick a light right above the spot the other sim goes when they are going for a portrait. Because unless you move the easel every sim will go to that exact spot. It always helps my portraits look like a portrait :P

Vincent is adorable!
I KNOW! Now I just need to find him an equally adorable wifey ;)

Very true! I don't really care about looks. In real life looks doesn't matter to me so why should they in the sims? Although maybe I'm wishy washy on that cause if they are heavy, I always use the body sculptor on them. Makes no sense I know!

Yeah I'll have to agree on them not really matter in real life because of course personality is what its all about. But I think it's fun to have pretty sims because after all you can make two sims have the "same" personality but not the same looks. I mainly just try to stay away from the wide nosed and big eared sims. :D

Yea that's true. Although I made two UGLY sims and tried to see how long before the kids were pretty. I lost interest after awhile but I know generation 4 was still ugly lol.

Yeah, there's these certain sims that have these flat and wide noses --- for example: Monika Morris, I had her in one of my earlier legacies and ALL her children had her ugly nose, it actually got worse as the generations went on. I finally quit it because I was tired of the nose and I wanted to start a Dynasty xD

I think that sometimes it is hard to know the sims exact looks until you put them in front of a mirror. I thought Jamie was pretty but I had a shock when I placed her in front of a mirror! But I really dislike large sims. I would use the body sculptor but they keep returning to their previous state!

my long days are like 8-4 or 10-6 but it takes more than an hour to get home so I always fall asleep on the bus.
