Supermanfan/Brandontaylor's Jones Multigenerational Save

[Supermanfan]

Eric made waffles for breakfast and finished before anyone else was ready. The triplets were next, while Dwight and Melanie were last.


Once they were done eating, the triplets went outside to have a water fight. Today was the first day of summer since I added Seasons, so I made use of the interaction.


L4u Rn took care of the garden. She has two life fruit plants inside, and two money trees outside. Now with Seasons, I'll have dormant plants in the winter so I wanted some inside.


Like I said, a China trip was coming up. I decided just to send Dwight and Melanie for this trip. He headed to the academy while Melanie checked the board. She had already done one tomb when she was a teen, so she had a tiny bit left for visa level 1.


Dwight decided to head to the dummy to train while I was with Melanie.



Melanie was told to spar with Bao Louie so she went to his house. They had a bit of a chat where they learned they were both brave, before starting their sparring session. She lost round one but won on round two.




Melanie then had to check in with this Sim, who I forgot the name of. She gained her fifth skill point in martial arts and then took off for the academy to meditate.


Dwight made salad that night and thats what they had for supper and breakfast on day two.


Dwight needed his next sparring contender so he tried to call them up. Unfortunately, his opponent was none other than his wife! He ended up winning so Melanie gave him a kiss before they headed for the shower.


Her next adventure was here. She found a trap activated when stood on, and it revealed stairs to an underground level. She was a werewolf, she wasn't going to be afraid of what may be down there.


She had to clear some debris as well as find a key for a door, which she did perfectly. Then she found a room with five doors so she checked every single one of them. This unlocked floor plates.


She couldn't just stand on them, so she had to move statues around. Luckily, this worked for her and she went on to the next room.



She had to go through some wells and set off some traps but one of them caught her on fire. Lucky for her, the well was nearby. It was the full moon so she transformed and then called Dwight who brought a tent to sleep in. The two then went to bed. One more day left in China.

[Supermanfan]

Once it hit six in the morning, I woke Dwight and Melanie up so they could transform back to their human form. I then sent them back to bed as werewolves don't sleep well in werewolf form.


Once she woke up, Melanie checked in to finish her most recent task.


By this time, they were both hungry so Dwight and Melanie bought egg rolls for lunch.


Melanie: I want to thank you for this trip.
Dwight: You're welcome. I know we didn't get a honeymoon, but this has been as close to one as possible.


Even though Dwight is farther along with the skill, Melanie ended up beating him this time. Both have been doing great at it.


Once their sparring sessions were done, Dwight taught Melanie how to meditate properly in hopes of xeneporting.


Paparazzi: This will make the headlines! Jones Family Heir Meditates In China! Okay, maybe let the reporter pick the headline title, mine stinks.


And they were successful. Once they got to base camp, they ate supper before catching a plane home.


Back at home, Eric gave L4u Rn a more feminine paint scheme.
Eric: Hot pink and white suits you far better than red, black, and white does. Hey, what's that over there?
L4u Rn: Where?
Eric: (hits over head) Alright, let's upgrade those trait slots.


Melanie continued work on her fourth book, Mr. Goth Goes to Town. It's about Gunther Goth's eventful trip one summer evening in Sunset Valley.


Dwight has made it to oak boards now, should be moving to stone blocks next time I play. I'm waiting for space rocks to collect some nice gems.


Eric decided to play chess with his wife. Fawn is still trying to max the logic skill before she passes but I doubt she'll make it.


I sent Eric to look for some elixirs but he didn't find any I wanted. I did find an original townie who is still alive, Zelda Mae Jones. She is married to Christian Jones who was a clone of Christopher but her son is Denny McGraw. Zelda was given a young again potion, hence the reason she is still around today.


The children had their first day of homework to do. They weren't very happy about it but at least they only have four days of school. Friday is Leisure Day since I installed Seasons on a Monday.


The family decided to have a nice, quiet dinner at home that evening. Eric made egg rolls as he got the recipe from TV or Christian.


However, the full moon was tonight so the werewolves all transformed. Dwight left work early so I had to send him back and get the others supper done.
Fawn: If you're all going to eat like dogs, I'm out of here.


And then she peed herself from seeing them transform. I mean, really? You're not used to this by now? Her traits aren't even anything that should set her off!

Once supper was done, I sent the triplets to take showers before the whole family went to bed.

[Supermanfan]

Tuesday was cooler and rainy but Eric still got up to make breakfast for the family at 2:00 A.M. He always wants to make sure his three grandchildren are fed a good breakfast before school.


Fawn and Melanie were the next ones up so they joined Eric for breakfast. Unfortunately, Melanie had a few hours before the sun rose so was still in her wolf form. Eric couldn't help but crack a smile at Melanie's lack of table manners.


One of the money trees dropped a seed so L4u Rn ran outside to plant it. There are now 3 of them, and two life fruit plants inside.


Melanie decided to work more on Mr. Goth Goes To Town while Dwight went back to bed. He had to work in the afternoon and evening and since he didn't sleep well last night, he wanted to be prepared.


L4u Rn and Eric had a nice little chat about upgrades up until he tried to implement them. Once again, he was on the receiving end of a nasty shock.


Once Dwight got up, he went to the TV to do a workout. His boss wants him to gain some athletic skill but he was putting it off.


Early that afternoon, the rain had stopped so Eric, Fawn, and Melanie decided to go to the festival. First thing was the eating contest, which Fawn ended up winning.


The hotdogs didn't agree with Sam Sekemoto and he ran off to vomit. Fun fact, he was Fawn's former boyfriend way back in high school.


Melanie decided to learn to skate. No one else was on the rink so she figured if she fell, no one would see.


While she skated, Eric and Fawn played chess together. Fawn was hoping to gain a skill point but that didn't happen. She is now 89 so she could go as early as tomorrow.


The triplets did their homework together again. They were to name several of the constellations, a subject on Ariana seemed to like.


A cop named Santos decided to skate a bit later that night. Melanie decided to skate with him as she felt a bit of attraction. She won't cheat on Dwight though, she loves him too much for that.


Fawn got tired of chess so she decided to practice her soccer skills. Then everyone went home and I sent them off to bed.


L4u Rn is practicing her logic skill because she will outlive everyone most likely. She can tutor future generations as well as being a butler bot.


Most everyone was up by 4 in the morning so they ate breakfast together like usual. Abigail had already finished eating so she was off getting ready for school.


Abby decided to join L4u Rn at the chess table. Since Grandpa Eric had read her the toddler books, she started out at level 3 logic.


Fawn, who actually turned 89 and not 90, decided to play her guitar for one of the last times. When she passes, one of the triplets will inherit it.


L4u Rn harvested the money trees, bringing in almost $3000.



I was off with another of my Sims when I decided to check in with Eric. I was too late to stop him from setting his wife on fire! Needless to say, she was not happy with him and yelled at him. Luckily it didn't hurt their relationship any or we would have had a problem.


Dwight and Melanie did a little bit of fighting training as werewolves, then went around looking for collectibles.


Tired of hunting, Melanie decided to work on her book outside. The neighbors probably wonder how she has a floating computer when they don't.


Fawn decided to play guitar in her nightgown so Melanie joined her, although she wore her everyday instead.


Ariana started work on her painting skill. She isn't guaranteed to be the heir yet, but I want them to learn a variety of skills like they were chosen.


Dwight lost his game and came home in a bad mood. Two of the triplets were finishing up their homework so he just read a book before everyone went to bed

[Supermanfan]

The family got up a bit later this morning as I am working on getting them on a bit later schedule. There was a lot of grumbling but it all worked out.


Fawn decided to play chess with L4u Rn. She ended up hitting level 9 but tomorrow is day 90 for her so she may not make it to ten.


Before school, Melanie joined the triplets in a water balloon fight. I sometimes have them do this to gain relationship. Just hope someone doesn't accidently hit L4u or Fawn.


Once the kids were off to school, Melanie decided to work on Mr. Goth Goes To Town. She finished it and will get 6 payments of $363. She's getting better, but hopefully she can complete her LTW of $4000 a week.


Eric got excited when he discovered a new trait chip. He is at a level of 8.5 so hopefully he can get to 10, make a Sentience trait chip, get L4u Rn to Future Quality, and get the Legacy Statue from ITF. If he needs to, he may eat some life fruit until he accomplishes it.


Speaking of, I sent L4u to collect gems and rocks. I had her do this as she was getting stir crazy.


After a late lunch, Melanie worked on her mixology skill. So far, she can only make party drinks, but hopefully can make more soon.


Fawn decided to try one of the mood drinks. She seemed to like it, even though it was nothing special.


Dwight and Melanie practiced their sparring. Dwight ended up winning and they had a shower together before being the last to head to bed.


L4u Rn has been doing her own maintenance now, on her own. That makes me happy because it means I don't really have to do much with her. She pretty much goes by the autonomy of the game. She has also been learning the bot skill to make trait chips, since she never knows when certain ones will come in handy. Also, the needs of her owners may change as well.


Now it is Friday, and that means Leisure Day in my game. As everyone was hungry due to the new schedule, I decided to send them all to the diner to eat. Once the finished, they headed home and when I play tonight, Dwight and Melanie travel to China to try and get the axe.


As soon as Dwight and Melanie got to China for the third trip, Dwight went to get an opportunity done. Brianna Alvi asked him to learn some athletic tips in China.


Dwight: Really, that's the advice you have for me?
Woman: Yep, now go away. I got a tournament to attend to.


Melanie: Hey, wanna do a tomb together?
Dwight: Sure, sounds like fun.
Melanie: Sorry, only one here is to look for some items. That's only a one person job, really.
Dwight: Yeah, I'll just stay here and do something.


Melanie got an opportunity to search for Lapiz Lazuli and Mercury. She found these relatively easy due to the markers on the map where they are common.


Melanie: Hello? I just gave you gems and a rock I could have kept for myself and you won't even look at me.
Man: I can't help it, I can't turn my head the right direction!


The man then sent her off to look for Assassin Beetles. That took a bit of time because I could find where they were at, but not see them crawling around. She ended up getting the two required though.



Dwight made waffles for the first time but they didn't turn out well at all. Melanie ate them but they weren't that good.


Dwight: Liking the vacation?
Melanie: Yes, but I like you more
Bet you can guess where this led to.


Dwight is now breaking stone boards. He's not too far off from breaking space rocks. Melanie was breaking oak boards not far away but I didn't get any screenshots of that.


That evening, Dwight and Melanie found a place where no one really was and they transformed into their wolf forms for some hunting. It was pretty productive, although Melanie did better than Dwight.


Dwight finally got to assist in a tomb, the Dragon Cave. He was pretty fascinated but doesn't have the experience Melanie does.


Melanie: You got to put your back into it.
Dwight: I think I got this.
I didn't take screenshots of every little bit of this but they ended up finishing it. I had a feeling I already did this but realized what it was. When my charger came undone (battery is bad) I lost this part of China. That's why I had to do it again.

[Supermanfan]

Dwight was up earlier than Melanie again so I had him make breakfast. This time, he did not burn the pancakes, although they are only normal quality.


Um, guys? You don't have to social distance, you can't get Coronavirus. Also, who eats pancakes with chop sticks?


Melanie telling Dwight how great he is.


She then got another opportunity, this time running around looking for gems and rocks. Still waiting on that axe one.


While she was off doing that, Dwight was sparring with another contestant, Ai Bei. Dwight ended up winning, hitting level 1 of the tournament.


Melanie turned in what she found, just to get told to look for more.


After a day of running around, Melanie decided to stick with a salad to eat. She's got to keep her figure after all.


That next morning after breakfast, Melanie went down in her short nightgown to check for an adventure. I bet the male explorers were happy with her choice of clothing.


Melanie: I heard you want some boulders smashed.
Woman: I do, and you get a nice, shiny ax for your troubles.
Melanie: Great! I've been wanting Pangu's Ax for a while now. So where is it?
Woman: Oh, forgot to mention. Run around some more and get three Chinese citizens to agree with smashing boulders, then go talk to someone who isn't sure we should smash them.
Melanie: Then I get it?
Woman: After you find it in the tomb. It's not going to be easy.
Melanie: Of course not.


Dwight spent most of his day at the academy, working on his martial arts.


Melanie was able to convince the man to let her smash boulders, but the full moon came out, causing her to transform. Also, a zombie appeared behind her. She hunted a bit before heading home to eat and go to bed.

Dwight kept waking up in the night to freak out over the moon. I was going to play a bit longer, but got tired of constantly sending him to bed. Now I'm hoping to get the ax today and send them home.


As Melanie was up late, she had a late breakfast at the market before her husband got there.


She then went to check in with the woman who wanted her to get approval. The lady gave instructions of where to go so Melanie headed off to get the ax.


Melanie located the first staircase in a secret room on the ground floor. Going down the stairs, she found a long hallway with a locked door. Realizing the way to open it must be under the debris, she took a pickax on the wall and cleared it away, unlocking the door.


There was also a secret door in the wall that she stumbled upon. Inside was a chest full of some treasure, which she promptly took.


She faced another locked door but luckily she found the stone key in a chest.


She found some more treasure inside the next room but came face to face with a maze of stairs and landings. She could see Pangu's Ax but knew it'd take some patience to get to it.


In yet another room, she found dive wells. Knowing from experience what that meant, she tumbled in on her stomach. On the other side, she found two more plus the one she came out of.


Traps were in the next room so she had to be careful. She found an unlit torch and figured it must be some kind of trigger. Apparently it was as it opened another door.


At long last, Melanie got Pangu's Ax. She could feel the power that it wielded and it made her happy. Too bad she has to give it to the woman, it'd sure come in handy.


She got too tired and hungry and it caused her to turn into her wolf form. She decided to try the Ax anyway before heading home. She figured she'd finish up in the tomb tomorrow.

[Supermanfan]

Melanie woke up and ate breakfast before meditating. She wanted to teleport to the tomb from the previous update. She was successful but soon realized there wasn't anything left to do there like she thought there was.


Melanie: I found the Ax. Where do you want me to put it?
Woman: That thing is too powerful for me, you can keep it. There is one condition though, you must smash a boulder for me and find an item.
Melanie: Sounds good to me.


Smashing the boulder


I always feel like this tomb is a pain in the rear to finish, especially this part.


Melanie has gotten much better at the dive wells.


A familiar sight, pushing and pulling statues around.


Trying to figure out how to get rid of the flames.


She finally found the item and returned it to the woman. By this time, I was starting to get tired of China so I decided to send her and Dwight home.


Bonus pic: I had the whole family get together for a water balloon fight. This was just to get them at a place for me to have them all together before quitting the game for the night.


Last time I played, I had the whole family minus L4u Rn have a water balloon fight. This was a good way to build up relationships while having fun.


Dwight had to leave though as he had an opportunity to finish. Brianna Alvi gave him some money for finishing it.


He had a few gems that needed cut so after talking with Brianna, that is where he went.


Eric has still been working on the bot building skill but hasn't made it any farther quite yet. It's starting to look like I may have to use some life fruit until he achieves his goal of making a future tech, sentient plumbot.


For supper, the family went to the Bistro and ate outside. Speaking of, Illinois is now going to allow us to eat outside at restaurants and bars again. Can only go inside for the restroom.


Eric said hello to his niece, Lois Bunch. He hadn't really been in touch much with his sisters family as I always forget to invite them over. That will change now though.


While the rest of the family was doing other things, Fawn decided to bring out her guitar and collect tips. She made somewhere around $500.


Dwight and Melanie enjoying Fawn's music. Fawn is at the top of the skill so she sounds great.


Cousin Alicia, all grown up. She is the middle child, between Christen (named after Christopher) and Lois. Her newest trait is Loves The Cold.


L4u Rn was the only one up so she had to do her own maintenance.


Seeing that Eric made breakfast all the time, she decided to surprise them all and make it herself for them.


Then, she took care of the garden like she normally does. When that was done, she worked on cleaning up the house.


The first two up were Eric and Fawn. Ariana and Abigail soon joined them when Fawn started talking about her time with the orchestra.


Eric failed again, and L4u Rn gave him another shock. She better quit or he may have a heart attack. Instead, someone else passed away later that day.


Abigail left after breakfast because she had an opportunity to finish. She was supposed to find certain gems and metals but she was just given them by her parents who had found them hunting and on vacation.


Ariana, Dwight, and Fawn watched TV together. Eric was busy setting up a party with the extended family.


The first guest to show up was Alicia Bunch. Melanie hadn't talked with this particular cousin very much and they had a nice chat.


Christen caught Abigail in the bathroom and they struck up a conversation. They don't show up as related since the game doesn't register extended cousins.


Tommy Bunch got the shock of his life when his sister-in-law Fawn kicked the bucket.


She wasn't afraid of Grim, she had seen him take Emily and Christopher and knew there was nothing to be afraid of. Oh, and she did reach level ten logic, dying the next day. The extended family seemed shocked but none of them were close with Fawn to cry about it.


Grim stuck around a bit and even had a pillow fight with Eric.


Much food was brought to the party so Eric helped himself. Zelda and Lois were wandering around the house before everyone left. Now Eric has 3 days left until 90 but he will probably eat some life fruit for a bit until his goal is met.

[Supermanfan]

I’ll update this some more tomorrow

[Supermanfan]

Eric made a new plumbot named Fiber Optic. He inserted random trait chips to make him a better bot.


Then Eric sold him for $4000. He isn't doing the career, just making extra money.


Everyone went to sleep so L4u Rn sent some metals to be smelted.


She also got a paparazzi named Tina Medina to play chess with her. L4u doesn't have an evil trait chip so she can't be mean to anyone, not even the paparazzi that follow Eric and Dwight around.


Had my first alien sighting last night. L4u Rn had to say hello to Ahilac, she'd never met an alien before.


She invited Ahilac in to meet the family. Eric and Evan don't seemed fazed, they even talked to her. Ahilac left half her hotdog though as she wanted to go home.


Eric went to the attic to work on his bot building skill. He reached level 9 and a bit towards ten but will need at least a life fruit or two to reach ten and get L4u Rn to Future Tech.


L4u Rn worked in the garden a bit in the morning. The third money tree is growing nicely, although fall is coming soon so it will go dormant.


Dwight is still working on his athletic skill. He is getting close to the top and should make it way before becoming an adult.


L4u Rn drove the kids to the grocery store to take a fishing class. This will help them in the heir competition. I'm going to play them tonight as I want the competition over before working on Ava's story.


L4u just stayed outside and talked to a Wan descendant. I believe her father is Hank, making her an alternate reality half sister to Brittany Goddard who was Ava's youngest daughter.


The triplets also needed to work on painting, mainly just to have another skill to work on.


Melanie began working on another book, this one is called FrankenSim. It is the Sims version of Frankenstein, only with differences. I'm pretending it is a modern retelling of the story, mixed with Sims related things in it. (Occults, plumbots, that sort of thing.)


Eric decided to try and upgrade L4u Rn and once again got a shock. Come on, girl, he's just trying to get you to Future Tech status. Geesh.


The family then headed to the the Bistro for supper. I was going to send them to the park but it was raining, then let up at the last moment.


But they didn't get peace for long as the full moon hit, transforming all but Eric into their werewolf formed.


Eric was first one up as usual, the others were at a slower sleeping speed due to being in their wolf form. He ate a life fruit in hopes of living just a bit longer to get that wish.


Nobody but L4u-Rn was up so Eric decided to go up to the attic and work on the bot building skill.


I had to wake the kids up without getting a full nights sleep. They all three needed showers so I had them do that, then head back to bed for a bit before breakfast. Ariana didn't quite make it into this picture.


Eric called L4u-Rn up to the attic so he could do maintenance. He was able to get her to Next Gen quality, or level 9. He already has the sentience trait chip, just needs her to get to Future Tech quality. He can't do that until he gets to the top of the skill.


Once he had finished that, Eric used some leftover trait chips and created a new Plumbot named Toaster. This one was not sold but instead released into the town to be one of the only Plumbot townies. This got Eric halfway up on getting the last skill point.


Waiting for the kids to get back home, Melanie decided to work on her mixology skill. Unfortunately, only one of her drinks was normal quality.


Then it became time to age up the triplets. Evan went first with only his siblings and L4u-Rn watching.


Evan grew up to look decent, although I need to get a headshot picture to share tonight so you can see him better. His traits are now: Loves The Outdoors, Neurotic, Daredevil, and now Artistic.


Next up was Ariana. By this time, everyone had joined the celebrations except for Dwight who was at work.


Here she is aged up, although I forgot to get her makeover picture. I was a bit distracted last night, I'll explain below. Her traits are now: Easily Impressed, Friendly, Computer Whiz, and Bookworm. Her traits seem to be a bit better than Evan's.


Last up was Abigail. Everyone was here by then as Dwight left work early because he got a promotion.


Again, I forgot to get a makeover picture. Her traits are now, Athletic, Brave, Grumpy, Artistic.


You may be able to see it a bit here, but anyway, the family ate cake before they had to head to bed. Tonight will be the competition and then I will give them a break to work on Ava.

[Supermanfan]

Eric and the girls were the first up this morning. They had been watching TV while waiting for the others to get up.


Once he was up, Evan got on the phone and called his family travel agent. He booked three tickets to Egypt and took off with his two siblings.


Ariana Langerak


Evan Langerak


And Abigail Langerak.


First up, we had the fishing competition. They all have at least one skill point in fishing before this but by the time they got to the fishing spot, they only fished for several hours. The results of this are: Evan ($66), Ariana ($65), and Abigail ($64). This was by selling directly out of the inventory. Evan is looking like the heir for now but it can change in the next part of the competition.


To get to a beach side campground, the triplets had to take an underground tunnel. I actually didn't even know this existed but I explored it and figured out that from certain directions, you don't need the tunnel but others you do.


For supper, they ate hotdogs and sat around chatting. They are best friends and even when the heir is selected, I hope to keep it that way.


The following morning, Evan started a fire and he and the girls roasted food over it to eat.


Now it was hunting time. Much more money was to be made by this than the fishing part did.

https://youtu.be/T8iK7mqjb1o
This is a short video of them searching for gems, metals, and insects. They went hunting 16 times. First place went to Ariana with $3696, Evan with $2198, and Abigail came in last with $1452. Again, this was selling from inventory. Now Ariana is in the lead to be heir.

Then the triplets ate their supper with an Egyptian townie before heading to bed. That next morning, they went another 8 rounds of hunting. In order from lowest to highest, when all hunting was done, we had our winner. Evan came in last with a grand total of $2862. Abigail came in second with $5096, and our winner was Ariana with $5966. This means Ariana will inherit everything, although she will have to give money to her siblings before they leave. Total earnings for all three was $13,924.

Last time, Ariana had been selected as heir through a fishing and gem collecting tournament in Egypt. When they came home, Eric took the entire family out for breakfast.


Beau Andrews was standing outside, he was given a young again potion several Sims weeks ago. I struck him with lightning to try and get rid of him. Apparently it didn't work. Next time will be a meteor.


Back at home, Eric continued his work on bot building. He had about 1/4 left until hitting level 10.


Melanie is still working on her Frankensim story. It seems certain genre's take longer to do than other ones.



Dwight spent most of the day working out before going to work. He talked to his teammates before practicing for the next game.


The triplets got home from school and began working on their homework together.


Eric made a new plumbot named Plumbob. He gave him some traits and sold him for $3000.


Finished with their homework, the triplets ate some leftovers before bedtime.


Eric hit level 10 in the bot building skill and upgraded her trait slots to 7. Somehow though, the Sentience trait didn't take so will have to try that again. He should get the statue then but they'll have to go to the future to see it.

[Supermanfan]

The triplets were the first to get up so they watched a bit of TV. Before long though, they got hungry so I sent them to get some leftovers.


The heir of the family, Ariana decided to make sure Abigail wasn't jealous of her. She wasn't, she didn't like the idea of being tied down to the Watchers plan for the family.


Apparently I still had rocks and gems in Melanies inventory so I sent her to the alchemy shop to cut some. She made a decent profit later in the day.


Dwight continued to work on his athletic skill but he still did not reach level 9 yet. In the background, Eric is practicing spellcasting while L4U-Rn is reading a book.


Later on, Eric decided to call his sister Jessica. She had just recently had her elder birthday and Eric is now 90 days so they are both discussing their plans for their last days.


L4U-Rn took a turn and did the cooking for the family. She doesn't have the cooking trait chip so has to learn the skill like everyone else. That may change soon though, probably tonight.


When the triplets got back home, the family minus Dwight ate their autumn salad. Dwight was at work in his third game, which he happened to win.


Once the finished, Abigail, Ariana, and Evan worked on their homework. Forgot to mention this, Abigail got stuck in a hedge during a field trip so she ended up missing most of the afternoon of school.


Just for something to do, Eric messed around with making drinks. He was not good at it however and he ended up breaking several glasses.


Everyone else had went to bed as they were tired so Eric stayed up for a while. Emit came back to visit so he talked with him until he got tired and went to bed too.


This time, Abigail was the first of the family to wake up. They've been getting up later now with just enough time to get ready in the morning before school.


Dwight has been continuing work on his athletic skill. He's not too far away from 9 but is still a bit of from getting it. He is still a YA so he has plenty of time left.


Eric made a new plumbot that was a future tech quality. He decided to try putting the sentience trait in him and was successful! Emit Relevart came to congratulate him before taking his leave. Eric decided he needed to take a quick trip to the future.


"Well, they got my face right but I look bald and I don't even like wearing shorts at my age! Gonna have to complain to Emit."


"I'm glad the lady at the desk was a fan of mine, otherwise I probably wouldn't have got these lotto numbers for tomorrows lottery."
Eric did end up winning but it was only $5,000 that he got. The family has $226,501 now.


Brock Keaton of Sunset Valley passed away. He was a Sim I saw around a lot, especially earlier in the save file.


Abigail decided to pick some pumpkins for her brother, sister, and herself so they could cut them Friday morning. Friday would be Spooky Day and she was looking forward to it.


Ariana bought some food from the stands as did the rest of the family. Eric can be seen to the right getting his food.


She tried to invite Harlan Goth over to the park but he wouldn't come so she invited Quentin Sekemoto. Unfortunately, there was no attraction between them. She'll try with Harlan later but if not, she'll find someone new or resurrect an original townie.

[Supermanfan]

L4U-Rn put in a Steel Chef trait so she can help the family out. Ariana will learn to cook some too, being the heir, but no food in the refrigerator meant I needed someone to cook something quick.


Someone interrupted the routing to the table so Abigail ate standing up while the rest of the family sat down.


L4U-Rn did what will probably be the last harvest before winter sets in. Today was Spooky Day so winter starts very soon.


The triplets had paintings in the backyard I wanted them to get done before the party. They all three sold their paintings for $11 each then I put the easels away for the party outside.


Ariana, Abigail, and Evan then carved the pumpkins that Abigail got yesterday. They just finished them when the rain cut loose and poured. This meant the party would have to stay indoors.


Dwight and Melanie sometimes don't get much of a chance to talk to each other so they had a little chat while the kids were busy.


The triplets decided for some odd reason to do their homework in Dwight and Melanie's room. I'm guessing it's because of the desk in their room.


Flirting led to kissing and kissing led to woohoo. They'd been on a dry spell for long enough. :lol:


Switching to Eric, I saw L4U in his queue so I checked to make sure it wasn't anything bad. It wasn't, she just wanted to hug her "Dad".


Eric's party was about ready to start so he and his family changed into their Spooky Day costumes. I'm not sure a 92 day old should ever wear something like this, lol


Melanie decided to dress up like a chef. Dwight was a cowplant but he was standing where I couldn't snap him in it.


Either Ariana or Abigail, they both dressed the same so it was hard to tell. Cats were pretty popular at this party.


Evan decided to dress like an alien, only the rest of his outfit is his normal everyday outfit.


Melanie decided to break out her guitar for the party guests. Unfortunately, most of them got stuck at the doorway so hardly anyone came in.


Eric met a woman named Brianna Alvi and the attraction was instant. He spent most of the party talking to her.


Brianna: Love your Spooky Day costume, Eric.
Eric: I like yours too. What character are you supposed to be?
Brianna: Oh, it's not a character. I'm dressed like a person who has no fashion sense at all.
Eric: Oh, that makes sense. I wondered why you were dressed like that.
Brianna: I'm just glad you noticed me.
Eric: How could I miss someone as pretty as you?


While Grandpa was flirting with a woman who could be his daughter, his grandkids were trick or treating at Toaster's house. Toaster was made by Eric but then I removed him from the family tree so we'd have another plumbot in town.


The party ended but Eric didn't get a kiss from Brianna like he was working up to so he visited her at her house. She has a sister living there with her as well as a nephew. Carina is the sister, you can see her back here.


In the bedroom, Eric finally got the kiss he wanted from her. She was still in her awful everyday clothes at this point but I soon changed her looks after that.


She and Eric then jumped into the only bed in the house for some romantic fun. Of course, Eric had to get a naughty reputation even though Fawn is gone. Oh well I guess.


Eric left later that night much happier than he has been since his wife passed away. Let's just hope Brianna isn't a gold digger or Melanie may have to fight to keep her legacy with herself and her daughter Ariana. By the way, Eric and Brianna are officially dating, at least for now.


Random screenshot of L4U-Rn. I only took this picture to send to my aunt as we like to talk about our Sims every once in a while. I just decided to add it here anyway.

[Supermanfan]

Evan was the first up so he turned on the TV to learn some cooking skill. L4U-RN was playing a game on her holo-computer.


Once everyone got up, Eric took his family to the diner for breakfast. Sometimes they just like to get out instead of eating home cooked meals.


Every single one of my Sims needed showers but since Eric can do magic, I had him perform a hygiene spell on them all, including himself.


Once everyone was sent home, Melanie took Ariana to learn to drive. She obtained her drivers license, the first of the triplets to do so.


Dwight took a jog through town as he is still trying to max athletics. He has that to do, as well as increase his relationship with his coworkers and perform well in games.


Eric met up with his girlfriend Brianna in the park for a date. Unfortunately, it began to rain so I sent them to the art gallery for cover.


Eric's brother Christian must think it is still Spooky Day, he hasn't changed his outfit.


At the art gallery, Eric surprised Brianna with some red roses. She happily accepted them but then told Eric she had to go to work and would be leaving. She then proceeded to tell him this was the worse date she's ever had. I was angry at her but decided against breaking them up as I knew it's just the way the game is set up.


Feeling a bit angry himself, Eric decided to chat to his niece, Christen Bunch. Christen is pregnant with a McGraw descendant's child and using mods, I saw she'll have a female baby.


He also talked to her sister, Alicia Bunch. If you can tell, Alicia likes to show what she's got. That outfit was actually what the game gave her but I just made her shoes match the dress.


One of the money trees produced another seed so L4U-RN picked it up and planted it. The family now has four of them and the two life fruit plants. They may start growing other harvestables in the spring.


Melanie decided to go to France. Unfortunately, she lost Pangu's Ax and buying it in debug works but it disappears in live mode. Due to that, doubt I'll make as many foreign trips. Anyway, Ariana tagged along for an opportunity for school.


Ariana went to the town center and talked with the woman at the food register. This finished her opportunity, although she has to go to school to complete it.


She talked with a man who had similar interests as her but that was it. I took a look at him in CAS and thought he looked weird. Hopefully someone good turns up in Sunset Valley.


Melanie decided to do a tomb so she met up with her contact. Apparently his name is Gaston Dutiel and he wanted her to find an object for him.


After clearing some debris from a secret door, Melanie went inside the room and found a foot plate.


After collecting everything in the room, Melanie found a switch that opened another door.


In yet another room, she had to pull statues onto floor plates.


While her mother was busy, Ariana made her an autumn salad to eat. She still has half a skill point to reach level one.


Finally, Melanie got to the last biggest room. She collected everything, including Gaston's lost object then went to give it to him.


Back at base camp, she finished her FrankenSim novel. She still needs around $2500 in royalties to complete her LTW.



Ariana transformed and did some hunting before coming in. Melanie was a bit busy and I was getting ready to direct her elsewhere when Ariana got into an argument with this lady. Needless to say, I sent them home after that.

[Supermanfan]

Eric went to bed the previous night and had been sleeping for several hours when his time was up. He seemed a bit surprised but was accepting of it.


The family made it in to the room just as Grim was showing up. That night was the full moon so everyone was in their werewolf forms.


As his father and wife before him, Eric welcomed Grim with open arms. He knew his time was up, why fight it? L4U-Rn knew what this meant but as she doesn't have emotions, she didn't feel the same as the rest did.


Everyone had to get some breakfast, even though they are upset. Melanie decided to cook, partially to get her mind off her fathers death. Ariana took it hard as she knew what being the heir meant to her grandpa.


Abigail worked on getting her license and she passed. Now only Evan needs to learn.


Even though it was snowing outside, Evan decided to play chess. His sister Abigail was driving and Ariana left to visit a boy's house.


Using MC, I checked to see how many teenagers there were in town. I saw that Misty Wan (pictured here) had a grandson that was around Ariana's age. Ariana went to check it out and talked to Misty for a bit.


I can't remember his name so I will edit this when I get the save loaded. Anyway, they did have attraction and compatible signs but I wasn't too fond of his traits or his looks. Also, romantic interactions didn't even show up. I don't have teenage romance turned off so not sure what happened there.



Dwight had won another game so he was pretty elated. He and Melanie had a bit of private time together. His work schedule makes it hard to work around.


By this time, it was getting pretty late so the family went to bed. A bit after midnight, L4U-Rn made egg rolls for their breakfast.


In my hastily made cemetery, Eric came back but none of the other ghosts did. Probably down the line, Eric will be resurrected but not for a long time. It will be once I go through all towns I own. (If I get that far, lol)


They all ate their egg rolls in their pajamas until I had a bit of an issue with a plate and Abigail. I reset her but it messed everyone up so I cheated their needs up and got rid of the food.


The triplets watched the cooking channel again before school. It has snowed but they still have school that day. Dwight and Melanie had a chat about how much Dwight hates art.

At this point, the family name changes to Langerak due to the fact Dwight and Melanie (Jones) Langerak are now heads of household.


Melanie (Jones) Langerak has been on her latest book called 'Jones Family: Generations 1-4'. It is the history of the family heirs. Emily, Eric, Melanie herself, and stops at Ariana's life up to this point. It will be up to a future generation to continue with this.


Dwight is getting closer to getting his athletic skill to 10. He has close to half a point left.


Today L4U-Rn made Key Lime Pie as it is Dwight's favorite food. He was at work but got some later that night.


Quinton Sekemoto came home with Evan today as they are friends. Quinton is also Ariana's love interest so she was a bit happy he was there as well.


The triplets worked on homework together while Quinton cleaned up his dishes. L4U-Rn was a bit mad as she was trying to get his plate to clean it. Quinton did join them soon after.



Ariana and Quinton flirted around a bit before she tried her luck. He accepted her kiss and her offer to go steady. We'll be seeing more of him. Sidenote: Looks like he may need work done on his nose and maybe a couple other small things. Gender flipping him showed me that we may have a problem with female children.


That following morning, Melanie and Dwight were up with Evan so they ate breakfast together. The two girls weren't quite up yet.


Evan and Ariana had a pillow fight in the back of the kitchen.


Today is Dwight's birthday so I had him call in to work. He won't age up until tomorrows play session though as I quit early. He will be an adult and since he is a werewolf, it will be a bit longer until his elder years.


While the kids were at school, Melanie finished her book and Dwight worked out some more.


Melanie did maintenance on L4U-Rn and gained her first bot building skill point.

[Supermanfan]

Melanie had a chat with L4U-Rn after giving her a tuneup. They are only acquaintances so they have a bit to go to be friends.


I was wrong, Dwight only had a tiny bit left to level 10 in the athletic skill. He knocked it out right before the triplets came home from school.


Then came his birthday. He now has 32 days left until he reaches the elder stage. I just reached day 110 so it should be on day 142 when he ages up for the last time. Melanie's birthday is in 2 days while the triplets have 5 days left until young adulthood. This update was on days 108 and 109.


Since everyone was hungry, I let them eat the cake. Sometimes if they already ate, I just sell it after using it to get some money back.


Abigail and Evan went elsewhere to do their homework so Ariana did hers and chatted with her dad. Unfortunately, Dwight was too interested in the MultiTab. The household only has the one and it once belonged to one of the recently deceased family members.


The whole family except Evan ate breakfast together on day 109. L4U-Rn was shut down for a bit because I didn't want her putting the food away like she usually does. I also removed her cooking trait chip as she was cooking food when she didn't need to. I can always put it back in, she has it in her inventory. Also, why Dwight chose to talk about garbage while eating breakfast beats me. Who knows what Sims think?


I made the triplets watch the cooking channel before school in hopes they'd learn the skill. No one did though but I'm sure it helped Ariana a bit. She did do a bit of cooking in France a few updates ago so has half a skill point at least. This time, we have Ariana talking about how delicious the TV chefs chicken legs look.


While they were busy, Dwight and Melanie snuck a kiss in that led up to the shower for some fun. The kids didn't even notice.


Dwight stayed home chatting with his coworkers while Melanie went and bought the Bistro. She then headed to the park to learn how to ice skate.


Melanie got hungry so I had her buy a pie to eat. It looks like it may have snowed on it though.


Ariana, Abigail, and Evan had a field trip to the cemetery mausoleum. One of them got a cool poster that I put on the living room wall. I may move it but just wanted to see it.


Another of the triplets got a Mysterious Mr. Gnome. I hardly ever collect gnomes so I decided to put this one out. One more and I can have a gnome family, something I also haven't done.


This time, the triplets chose to do their homework in the spare room. This was Eric and Fawn's bedroom until Emily and Christopher died, then it became Dwight and Melanie's until Eric died when they moved into the master bedroom. It will be Melanie's in a few days and then the triplets bedroom will be a nursery for a while again. I just keep repeating this process through the generations.


Melanie started work on her newest book called Sunset Valley: A History. It is a book about the founding of Sunset Valley and all the events up to modern times. It's title is also a spoof off the textbook in the Harry Potter universe called Hogwarts: A History.


Dwight quit his job as he is having a midlife crisis. I'm giving him as many of his wishes as possible except moving or cheating on Melanie. Leave the cheating for a future generation with corresponding traits. He then went to the police station and turned in his application. All that exercise makes him a good candidate for that line of work.


Ariana ate her breakfast with her parents. Abigail got up just shortly before they did and was already heading to the sink to do dishes.


Then the two girls went outside to build a snowman together before school. They were unfortunate as the snow never did get high enough to cancel school.


When they were finished, they had themselves another classic snowman. Someone had made one in the garden but it wasn't any of my Sims. I'm guessing it was the plumbot.


Dwight had his first day of work as in the law enforcement career. This will be his only day to work this week as tomorrow is Snowflake Day, then the weekend will hit.


Melanie knocked out another non-fiction book, earning her some more money. She still has over $2,500 to make before completing her LTW.


To celebrate, she drank a skill booster she had made sometime when I wasn't paying attention to her. As she was drinking, a man called her on a date but she declined.


The triplets came home to eat their supper shortly before Dwight finished work. He didn't get promoted as his logic is low but he has 3 days in a row to work on it before Monday comes around.


Ariana has a goofy look on her face while doing her homework. She can complete hers faster since she is a bookworm but it doesn't mean she likes it. Dwight was reading a book for a job opportunity. Not pictured here, but Evan had a book to increase his school performance, not that he needs it. My Sims children always do well in school as I make sure they do their work.


Tina Medina isn't a paparazzo anymore since she had her elder birthday. L4U-Rn is almost friends with her as I never really play as her. This means she meets people I don't normally let my Sims associate with. Anyway, the only thing L4U bought was one elixir.


In the nearby family cemetery, Emily came back to visit. I hadn't seen her for a while as she's been gone several weeks now.

[Supermanfan]

Dwight and Melanie ate breakfast with their daughter Ariana. Melanie was discussing to her how the house will become Ariana's upon their deaths. Of course, like typical teenagers, Ariana didn't pay much attention to her mother.


I thought this shot of the triplets turned out well. I was trying for a picture where they all faced forward with normal looks on their faces. Also, I think the gnome must have got tired on the table. Later on I found him outside in the snow.


Melanie works on book after book when she can. She doesn't make a ton of money right now but each book helps her out.


She wanted to have a Snowflake Day party so I had her set one up before playing guitar.


I invited only family members to the party. Christian is on the floor to the left, cousin Lois is the one clapping her hands by the presents, farthest back Sim is Jessica who is a elder now, Tommy Bunch is standing behind Alicia, and of course, Evan is thinking about Tommy for some reason.


Christen is right behind Melanie, I see the game changed her hair and gave her awful clothes. Apparently I didn't have much room for the presents as some Sims didn't even participate. Only one in the household who did was Melanie.


I don't really know how but somehow the party was an epic one and everyone had a nice time. Anyway, Melanie had her birthday once the guests left.


The family ate cake together and Abigail was talking about fitness.
Abigail: Honestly, should we be eating this? It's not very healthy.
Dwight: Hey, I've got a certificate saying I'm physically fit, what's a bit of cake going to hurt us.
Speaking of Dwight, he's got a bit of a scruffy look right now as he wanted to grow facial hair as one of his crisis wishes.


Once Abigail finished, she headed straight for the TV autonomously. I let her and didn't interfere with it.


Ariana called her boyfriend Quinton Sekemoto. They haven't seen each other since Thursday at school.


The full moon was that night so the whole household was forced to transform. I sent them all on a hunt in the cemetery, this is Melanie running around.


And Christopher decided to make a comeback. Hadn't seen him for a while, last ghost was Emily the other day.


The Halloween pajama party breakfast. Okay, just kidding there, the full moon was the night before and they hadn't gotten the chance to go back to their human forms yet. Also, Halloween/Spooky Day was several days ago.


Finally got around to Evan, he didn't fully get his license yet but is getting close. It glitched and threw them out alongside the road as well as the fact Evan got extremely stressed.


The girls went to the winter carnival where Abigail did some snowboarding. Ariana just watched this time.


They then went ice skating with Evan. I had sent him over after the driving issue but since he was so stressed, he transformed and just ran around the rink.


While the kids were away, the adults did play... under the sheets, that is. :wink:


Once they got hungry, I sent the triplets home to eat with their parents.


Then the family had a snowball fight in the family cemetery. It only has four graves right now so the rest is a big open space.
