The Sandgem Dynasty's Journal

Great update! Your nooboo is cute.

For gardening as a self-employed career the secret seems to be Money trees. My suggestion would be to go seed hunting every day for special seeds, that way when Cherri reaches level 7 gardening she has lots of special seeds to plant all at once.

[Oathbear]

@lily : Thanks! But I guess I'll just flip a coin to decide...




Woo-hoo! Check out how's the Chef de Cuisine do her job!



Anyway, when Christopher is making friends with Zelda...



Oath had her Birthday! And when Cherri soaked her pampies, too!



Happy Adult day! Too bad no one's watching except your little nooboo.



And she immediately changed her pampers.



The next day, Christopher had his birthday when he's fishing. Alone, too!



And... Another next day, its Cherri's! Wow, three birthdays in a row! And it's my first birthday cake usage! Yipee!



Putting out the flames...



And, happy birthday, Cherri!

I have loads of pictures coming up... I'll do it in the next post, I guess. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of parties, and I don't really have time to hit the town for the first generations. Don't expect much about that.

[Oathbear]

I decided to change the font's size. I figured it's too small compared to the picture.




Aww... Isn't she cute?



Well, maybe not too much.

Oath really loves the little one, she prepared her food...



Taught her how to walk...



And talk.



Oath : Spa.
Cherri : Old hag with a masker, lime on the eye and towel on the head.
Oath : @*#*(%?



But after that all hard work, a woman needs to eat. Autumn salad would do, she could use a good diet!



And the next day, she finally hit the level 10 on Culinary! Oath's LTW, done!
After that, Christopher hit the graveyard for some deathfishes, and I freaked out when I saw her.



I believe she was Vita Alto who got the vampirism flu.



And this, is maybe an attempt Oath did to draw Christopher. Let's do a check up with his face.



... I'd say the hair and the eyebrow is similiar.

I think Oath's painting of Chris is spot on!

Congrats on Oath achieving her LTW.

[Oathbear]

@lily : It's funny how the doddle resembles Chris. They hardly talk to each other these days, maybe she misses him. But it's more like she's making fun of him to me.


Phew, time surely passes quick, and now it's Cherri's birthday!





She's now is an Eco-Friendly Child. Now to get her hair and clothes changed quick!



She got her mom's black hair and blue eyes. I guess she got that lip from Christopher.

First day she can actually go outside, she immediately went to the park. She loves the outdoor and now she can actually be in one. Here's she catching a butterfly.



And, since when she was a toddler it's mostly her mom who take care after her, she chatted with her father for hours.



There's a good thing for Oath when Cherri aged into Child; she can go back to her usual "Trade Kitchen Secret" stuffs.



In the night, Christopher fishes some Deathfishes.



And Cherri sleeps in her new "bedroom".



Yes, it's outside. Nevermind the arrow thing.

[Lilygirl]

Hey, she's got a roof overhead what more does an outdoor-loving girl need?

Cherri is beautiful! Keep up the good work.

[Oathbear]

@lilygirl : I wonder if there's any remote chance a meteor would fall on her when she's sleeping? Man... I had successfully scared myself.
I'm going to try to give a bigger picture now...


One day Cherri visited the Simhenge her mother was talking about, because she wants to collect butterflies there. Her mother also asked her to pick up gems when...



Cherri : What the? Why would anyone be here? Eew... This is creeping me up.



Cherri : And why the hell would he be following me? Eeew! (runs even faster)

Well, Cherri grew up as a level 1 Celeb. And Oath's at level two. That dude was a papparazi, but I too will freak out if some adult dude following me like that.

Christopher painted a "masterpiece" of Oath. Well, it's more like he was painting Oath's face from a blurry mirror to me. I'll give another attempt next time.



Cherri already know all of her classmates, and he wanted to invite a boy named Rico, who hopefully isn't a paperboy. Christopher just bought a Trampoline, so when her friend came, they decided to jump on it.



Rico : Who knew jumping on a trampoline would be this fun?
Cherri : True, let's invite the whole classmate here next time and jump on a trampoline!
Rico : Do you think it'll fit?
Cherri : I'm sure it will. Barely. Our class' totals to 4 students, after all.

I wish it was possible, but it seems trampoline are only for two.

Christopher wants to move the trampoline to the garden, so they stopped jumping and play tag instead.



Oath got one of the Painting Opportunity. I didn't think twice and accepted it, probably because I'm too impatient. With the opportunity finished, she had 6 BlackOps finished!
To celebrate, I bought the Stoney Falls, and had it upgraded to level 3! Well, another Amrosia requirements is finished! Here's the fishing area...



..and the "Necessary stuffs".



To continue the chain, I bought Oath three special Lifetime Rewards. One of them is "Better Mixologist", and she's going to love a new bar!



And, to get a Bartender outfit for her!



Well, maybe it won't be that easy.

Tag is still the best way to make friends, in my opinion. I always try and get my Sims kids to make a friend or two on after school or on the weekend. Good luck with Oath's remaining Ambrosia requirements.

[Isys]

Nice job, I missed alot since the last time I checked but I am happy with what I read it was great. Looking forward to more, oh and the falls looks fantastic I never would have thought to buy that place.

[Bde1225]

Cherri is so cute. She kinda looks like Periwinkle from the dreamweaver group. Congrats!

[Oathbear]

Thanks for reading my Dynasty, all of you. Even though it's only around three, I appreciate it.
I update slowly because of school. Even I can't relax in weekends. Homeworks all over my mind.

I would like to update now, but it's like impossible since the internet is acting up. I can't upload pictures this way. So I'll just do a mini-update.

Cherri's a teenager now. When she had her birthday party, I noticed all of her classmates aged to teen already! That means... she's abit late. Doesn't matter though, it's actually a good news.
She get to know more Sims as she started school as a Teenager. But I think I'll stick with her childhood friends for her boyfriend.
She's building up her gardening real fast, thanks to her traits, Christopher's big garden, and Skill Gain Drinks. Less than a week she maxed her Gardening skill. I'm still in dillema on letting her took the Gardening career thou.
Oath has officially aged to the haghood too. To be honest, she's my first elder and I'm having a hard time dressing her up.
Just a few days after she aged into Elder, she had her potraits and photo done, got her 6 Best Friends requirements (boy this is the reason I love Charisma skill), and volia! She ate Ambrosia! I didn't want to wait longer since accidents may happen, her Best Friend might die of old age, Christopher'll die one day and I need another painter, and I want to focus on Cherri, too.

[Choccolatee]

I just caught up and Cherri is really cute.
I like your humour as well.

[Saltypaws]

Nice update.  I don't think there is anyplace you can go and not have paparazzi show up.  Cherri is adorable.

[ILoveDolls]

Great story. Its great to see how Christopher's and Agnes' (the most popular in my opinion) varying children from varying dynasties turn out.

[Figwit]

I love your story.  You are doing so well.
