Supermanfan/Brandontaylor's Jones Multigenerational Save

[Supermanfan]

Quinton was already up and playing guitar when the women got up to eat their breakfast.




Then it was time for everyone's classes. Ariana had her last lecture while Cori and Quinton both had their last class activity days. One more day to go and they (and myself) are done with university. There will 78 more Sim days in Sunset Valley to reach 200 then I'll move them to a fresh save. Most of the current Sims will be deceased by then.



For supper, Quinton made the three of them macaroni and cheese. He's at a decent level of cooking that he won't burn anything and should be able to make meals for the family.


Then they got invited to a party thrown by a female townie whose name I can't remember. It may have been Jennifer Grey but I can't remember.
As you can see, Quinton decided to watch TV.


Cori met a guy she kind of liked but she didn't make a lot of progress towards a relationship. She'll just wait until she gets back to Sunset Valley and SP will set her up with someone.


Our resident handyman had to fix the kitchen sink again. If his music career doesn't take off, he could fix things for a living.


Between Cori's exams, she watched TV with Ariana who was already done with her exam. Quinton was already doing his exam and everyone ended up passing exams with flying colors.


Saturday, I sent the trio to use the computers and science machine until time for graduation.


At the sports center, I had the trio play in the snow as I didn't want them getting stuck in the crowd and not graduating.


The trio were already inside but Abigail Langerak and Jessica (Jones) Bunch were among the guests who attended. I also saw Dwight and Melanie, and Rain and Evan Langerak. This finishes up their time at university.


As soon as the three graduates returned home, I had Cori send in her resume to the science facility. She will start at level 4 in the science career, and I also saved her to the bin because she may get her own save in the near future. Afterwards, I used Edit Town to put her in with Abigail Langerak and her husband Andrea. Soon after, MC placed her in a home she couldn't normally afford, which is what I wanted to happen anyway.


Once that was taken care of, Ariana and Quinton both sent in their resume as well. Ariana will start at level 4 in the political career while Quinton starts at level 4 in the music career (rockstar branch).


With that settled, I decided to send the family to the Bistro for supper. They didn't have anything left in the refrigerator and since they were getting hungry, I thought why not.


Instead of hiring a babysitter, L4U-RN took care of baby Michael. He was actually born a few hours prior Sim time but I sent the trio to university directly after so it seems he's been around awhile.


Afterwards, L4U-RN went outside to plant the Forbidden Fruit. I'm having her quit taking care of the garden so that Ariana can get another skill.


Not much else happened on Tuesday but on Wednesday, the family somewhat had breakfast together. It seems like Melanie and Quinton are having a nice chat about music.


Being a police officer keeps Dwight busy. He also had an opportunity so I had him workout before his shift.


Ariana had her first day of work but Quinton won't work for a few days. Being at level 4 means he has certain days off, which happened to fall right when he started work. I just had him play guitar so he will be ready.


Before work, Ariana worked in the garden for a bit. She didn't get completely finished so L4U-RN was allowed to finish the last few plants.


Melanie became friends with her son while taking care of him. He only has one more day until he ages up as I have my settings changed slightly, although they still add up to 90 days. Once the baby was taken care of, I had her officially join the writer career. Up to this point, she was writing books but now that I have a working copy of Ambitions again, she could join the career.

[Supermanfan]

After graduation, Quinton now pops up wishes to paint. He also had gained the artistic trait so that is the main reason for the wish. I sent him to Dwight and Melanie's bedroom to paint on their easel that once belonged to the founder, Emily Jones.


Melanie decided to work on her next book to hopefully complete her LTW. She only needs a few hundred simoleons to do so.


About that time though, Michael needed fed and a diaper change. Dwight and Ariana were still at work and Quinton was painting so it was up to her to watch him today.


Quinton needed to cook some meals to put in the fridge as the family ran out shortly before University started. He decided on hamburgers and thought he could make more meals later.


Things didn't time out right as Ariana and Dwight were late to supper. However, Melanie did get to know her soon to be son-in-law a bit better. The wedding is coming up, although it will be an update or two before I play that.


Quinton had an opportunity to meet Andrea Langerak, husband of his future sister-in-law, Abigail Langerak. If you recall, Andrea took Abigail's last name when they got married. On the ground is their baby daughter, Sheena Langerak. She went and scratched chairs shortly after so I learned she is a werewolf.


They talked for awhile but Quinton needed to get home and didn't become friends with him. I'll try to get that finished next time I play.


Baby Michael needed taken care of early in the morning so L4U-Rn decided to help the family out.


Dwight and Melanie were up before anyone else so they chatted for a bit until Ariana woke up. They then ate breakfast together, although Quinton was coming down the stairs at the time.


Ariana then took care of the garden before going to work. It seems the Forbidden Fruit is growing just fine, as well as the 5 or 6 money trees.


Quinton always seems to be the most relaxed when playing guitar. He's only a few points away from maxing the skill.


Melanie continued to work on her newest book when she made enough money to gain a promotion to level 2.


Quinton returned to work for the first time since gaining his degree. He was at level 1 in the career before he quit to go to university, but is now starting the job again at level 4. I'm hoping he makes it to the top of the rock star career.



Quinton didn't get to see Michael's birthday/age up due to work but at least the rest of the household was there. Michael aged up into a cute little toddler, I'm looking forward to seeing him as a young adult. He won't be an heir or anything but it was mainly so the family tree would become larger. That's kind of the main idea for this save.


I have no clue why Dwight was having a fit. There was nothing in his way to the chair but he still acted like he couldn't sit down. Then, the full moon caused him to transform so it was a pain trying to get his supper finished.


L4U-Rn got Michael started on potty training. The family were getting ready to take showers and go to bed, or doing their own things.


Lastly, I heard music coming from the family cemetery so I looked to see who came out. It was Tommy Bunch, but I forgot how he was related to the family. I then remembered he was married to Jessica (Jones) Bunch, sister of Eric Bunch who is Melanie's father. I looked to see who his parents are as I also forgot that and they were Ethan Bunch and River McIrish.

[Supermanfan]

Michael's sleep schedule is just a bit off from the rest of the family so L4U-Rn stepped in again to take care of him, and start teaching him to walk. Going to have to look how to properly type L4U-Rn because I can't remember which letters other than L need capitalized.


Poor Quinton is the only normal Sim in this family. The other three stayed in their werewolf forms after the full moon as I just wanted to get them on their way to breakfast.


Ariana took care of the plants again and everything seems to be doing fine. I'm hoping to get a PlantSim as I have never played one before and thought it'd be nice practice for when I have to have one in the Ultimate Sim Challenge.


Dwight helped Quinton set up his bachelor party at Varg's Tavern, then they had a chat until the guests arrived.


Garry Sekemoto was the first guest to arrive and he is Quinton's father. They had a nice conversation but I realized that they didn't even have a relationship. Whoops, my bad. In the mirror, you can see Quinton's future brother-in-law, Evan Langerak. He's the one wearing a tuxedo, Dwight was headed over to chat with him also but you can't see him too well in the mirror.


Dwight had a chat with his eldest son, which both seemed to enjoy. I'll be inviting Evan and his wife Rain, and Abigail and her husband Andrea to the wedding. Cori Lucas will be invited too so we'll definitely see her again.


Things between Quinton and his father deteriorated while I was with Dwight. Apparently Garry thought Quinton was being boring so Quinton yelled at him and called him a piece of garbage. I'll try to fix their relationship but I don't really care about Garry anyway.


Abigail's husband Andrea and Quinton are barely friends so I had him give the toast. Unfortunately, nobody but Quinton listened to it before Andrea sprayed fizzy nectar all over him. Garry seems more interested in the dancing cheerleader.


The men then joined in on all the dancing until the ladies had to leave. Everyone seemed to have a good time.


Quinton had a chat with Evan in the hopes of getting to know him. They didn't become friends but at least they got somewhere.


Garry must be hard to get along with because not even Dwight could talk to him without Garry getting mad. I'm thinking something unfortunate may happen to Garry soon, although I may not go as far as killing him... yet. :naughty:


Pretty much the entire time the men were gone, Melanie taught Michael to walk and got started on talking. She must have thought she was going to the party as she changed into her dress to impress clothes.


I didn't pay attention to Ariana at all after having her garden so I found it funny that she was telling ghost stories to L4U-Rn.


Quinton made some meals for the following day, although it will only be enough for the day. It was getting late after that so I sent the family off to bed as we have Ariana's bachelorette party the following day.


Lastly, Melanie's aunt Jessica passed away so I collected her tombstone to bury next to her husband Tommy. I'll also collect their children but that will be it. I'm not too worried about keeping the entire family tree intact as that'd be a lot of Sims but I'll at least try to get a couple generations.


After getting up much earlier than I wanted him to, I sent Dwight to finish up his celebrity opportunity. He no more and started and he was finished with it.


He sat down to watch TV as Ariana and Melanie were just getting up. I was waiting on Quinton to get up so they all could eat breakfast.


Once Quinton got up, I sent the household to the kitchen for breakfast. I hadn't played the save for a little bit so I had no clue what was in the fridge. They only had Autumn salad so I just went with that.



If you recall, Cori Lucas was studying science at University with Ariana and Quinton. She successfully made a Forbidden Fruit which she then gave to Ariana. Upon returning to Sunset Valley, I had Ariana plant the fruit in hopes of getting my very first PlantSim ever. I'd previous cheated a Sim to be one but I've never had one be planted and harvested until now. Her name is Daisy Langerak and she'll most likely be the heir for generation 5 as I want different occults for the first so many generations.


Upstairs in the room I switch out as a bedroom and nursery, Ariana and Melanie discuss wedding plans. I plan on playing tonight so I can have a wedding.


Overnight, Garry Sekemoto aged up to elder so I decided Quinton better try to mend things with his father. Garry won't be around forever so hopefully they can at least make it to friends.


While the ladies were headed to Varg's Tavern for Ariana's bachelorette party, L4U-Rn was cleaning the potty while Dwight was teaching his son Michael how to talk. Quinton was bonding with his soon-to-be step-daughter, Daisy. Quinton and Ariana will have a biological kid together too, but they most likely won't be the heir, as I stated above.


Over at Varg's, a few of the guests that showed up were Cori Lucas, Carina Sekemoto, and Lois Bunch. As you can see, she is pregnant with either or first, second, or third child. I'll look in the family tree and see how many she and her sisters have.



Then Ariana chose her mother to give a speech before Melanie sprayed her with fizzy nectar.


A few more guests, L4U-Rn (who went home for some reason), Ariana's sister Abigail Langerak, and Christen Bunch.


Ariana was happy to see her sister as it had been a bit. They are still very close so I really need to invite the siblings over more often. Ariana did hit her up for campaign money though as she needs it for her job performance.


She also had a nice little chat with Cori because they are very close friends. I don't know at the moment but I think Cori is still single in this save.


Lastly, Ariana paid for all the guests to eat at the Bistro. The bill for all them was cheap though as it only cost $0.00. The Langerak's own the Bistro so of course they get meals for free.

[Supermanfan]

Two deceased family members appeared last night when I played. The first one is Tommy Bunch, who is Melanie's uncle and the second is Christopher Steel Jones, the husband of the Sim who started this family, Emily Jones.



Since Dwight was first up this morning, I decided that he could make breakfast for the family. He is still in the lower range of the cooking skill but he's good enough not to burn food anymore. Melanie was the next one up as she and Dwight have the best bed that's currently installed in my game so she barely got to eat with her husband.


L4U-Rn (proper way to spell her name, I had to look again to get it right) was the only one who was available at the time so I had her socialize with Daisy. Daisy seems to be a bit more needy than some kids as she always needs socialization.


Once Dwight was done with everything I needed him to do, I granted him his wish to use a telescope. He found a white star that he named Melanie, after his wife.


Ariana decided to watch her father and fiancé play a chess match. Quinton got his first skill point in logic, although I probably won't have him focus on the skill for the moment.


Then it was time for Quinton and Ariana's wedding. I can't remember all the guests names but the fairy is Rain Langerak and she is the bride's sister-in-law through Evan. By her wing is Quinton's mother, Carina Sekemoto, Garry Sekemoto (Quinton's father) is looking at Dwight and Abigail, Ariana's sister, is the woman near Garry. I sat up chairs for the Sims to sit in but I got them too close and they wouldn't sit down. Dwight was trying to sit in the chair so I couldn't get rid of for the picture.


Thinking about ghosts, we have Andrea Langerak (Abigail Langerak's husband), Cori Lucas near the cake, Evan Langerak in the black tux, and the other two I do not know.



Quinton and Ariana exchanged vows then Quinton kissed his bride. He ended up taking the Langerak last name which kind of fits, seeing as how he doesn't have a good relationship with Garry. He does have a great relationship with Carina though.


Both Quinton and Ariana made it to the cake alright but only Ariana cut it. They also got cake but some of the others did not in the end.


You can kind of see what I meant about some Sims having issues getting cake. Four people at least got cake, although the whole adult members of the household did eventually get some too. Christian Jones decided to sit with his great-niece Ariana and Quinton.


Quinton provided some music after he got done eating. He didn't make a ton of tips but he did make $185.


The wedding lasted a while so by the time it finished, Michael needed to use the potty. Dwight finished up his training so now I don't have to worry about him as much now.


When the humans went to bed, L4U-Rn invited the only other Plumbot over for a chat. His name is Toaster and he was built by Eric Jones (Ariana's grandfather) but I removed him from the family tree. They had a really nice chat about how they enjoy being around humans.


L4U-Rn put in Capacity to Love trait chips in herself and Toaster as I thought it'd be nice for her to have a romantic interest. I have another reason for this but I'll explain that later.


The following morning, Toaster was still at the house and he needed a charge so he used the Langerak's dishwasher. Luckily, it did not break.



Quinton took care of his step-daughter Daisy while Dwight took care of his son, Michael. Both wives were busy with other things at the time so the fathers got their bonding time in.


And lastly, Toaster and L4U-Rn spent some time together when Dwight went to work. The other three were busy at the time.

[Supermanfan]

Melanie decided to take Michael for a stroll to the park. However, they only made it to the money tree garden before the rain came. I had to send them home so they didn't get to have fun.


For some reason, Quinton was outside playing guitar when the rain started and he wouldn't stop. I had to send him in on my own.


Melanie decided to watch TV with Ariana instead. She had finished her latest book prior to the stroll with Michael and she completed her LTW. Her fun meter was almost trashed due to that so the TV was a quick way to gain fun.



Once Grandpa Dwight got home from work, Daisy was taken to her birthday cake by Ariana. She aged up into a cute little toddler with green hair and green eyes.


Before bedtime, Ariana started to teach Daisy to walk. She didn't get too far as Daisy got tired but it's a start. I love the fact Daisy has a trail of flowers behind her, I knew Plantsims do that but it's nice to experience that myself.


This is also my first elder gnome I've ever had. I was going to get another one so they'd have children but I'm not worried about it. His name was randomly selected as Gavin so that's what I left it at.



Once everyone went to bed, L4U-Rn met up with her lover, Toaster. She popped the question and of course Toaster said yes. They then had a quick ceremony out by the garage before taking off into the moonlight. When the Langerak's wake up in the morning, they'll be without a Plumbot but I'm preparing them for the move to a new town. There may be more Plumbots in the near future though.

[Supermanfan]

There wasn't really a lot of food in the refrigerator and since Dwight was the first one up, he got the task of making breakfast.


Melanie got up right after Dwight so her job was taking care of her son Michael, and her granddaughter, Daisy (a PlantSim).


Dwight finished the pancakes and had already finished eating by the time Melanie finished taking care of toddlers.


He then had a little bit of time to kill so I had him watch TV. Once I got the message that the carpool would come in an hour, I sent him to work on my own to make sure he got there on time.


Quinton and Melanie's friendship was very low so I had them watch television together in the hopes of them becoming friends. They didn't, but they did make some progress. He also needs to befriend Dwight for two reasons, one of which is the fact Dwight is his father-in-law, and two, they are first cousins.



While her husband and mother were busy, Ariana was teaching Daisy how to walk. After a while though, I remembered I needed her to take care of the garden so I switched her attention to the money trees.


I decided to have Quinton and Melanie talk face to face instead of using the TV and they ended up becoming friends. Of course, I didn't go much longer after that so it fell to acquaintances later that night.


Once I redirected Quinton elsewhere, I had Melanie continue work on her latest book. I don't remember the name of it but it really doesn't matter. Just know it is a horror novel.


I decided I'd like for the Sekemoto family to come visit so Quinton could reconnect with his family. Unfortunately, only his mother Carina (Alvi) Sekemoto came over. Garry, Brant, and Buddy didn't want to come for some reason or another. Carina is the daughter of Miraj Alvi and I forgot her father.

[Supermanfan]

Quinton and Carina were around the good friend level so I had Quinton take Carina out for dinner. I was actually surprised when they sat down at the same table as usually my Sims don't.


Look who decided to show up. Garry and his son Buddy just so happened to be at the Bistro, yet they couldn't be bothered visiting their son/brother.


Melanie's cousin, Lois Bunch, also was at the Bistro. She is Jessica (Jones) and Tommy Bunch's daughter and is also the granddaughter of River (McIrish) Bunch and Ethan Bunch, as well as Emily and Christopher (Steel) Jones.


Quinton decided to go over and talk with his father. They didn't become friends but they at least got along this time. If you remember, they had an argument at Quinton's bachelor party several updates ago.


Quinton's other brother, Brant, happened to be across the street. He came over to the Bistro but I didn't have Quinton say anything to him.


I also got to see Toaster again but L4U-Rn wasn't there with him. Apparently, Toaster is a big fan of Quinton's.


But when he tried to talk to Quinton's brother, Buddy quickly shut him down. Apparently Buddy isn't a fan of Plumbot's or something.



Quinton came home after the toddlers were put to bed and he and Ariana had some romantic time alone. Little did she know, but her parents were also having romantic time. Both couples woohooed before going to bed.

[Supermanfan]

Quinton and Ariana Langerak are still heir's in waiting. Technically, Ariana is the heir but her parents are still around so until then, these two will have to wait.


Speaking of, Melanie and her husband Dwight shared some romantic time after Dwight got home from work.


That following morning, Dwight and Melanie were first one's up again because they have the best bed I have in my game. I think they are eating autumn salad, although I'm not entirely sure.


Melanie's aunt Jessica showed up in the family cemetery. Several in game weeks ago, she was in the household but she wasn't selected as heir, even though she was rather pretty as a young adult.


Melanie took care of her fourth child with Dwight, a son named Michael.


She also had to take care of her granddaughter, a PlantSim named Daisy. (Note: Only re-explaining names and things for new members here but it's a good refresher if anyone else forgot)


Dwight watching TV. I can't remember, I think I was just having him watch before work but I could be wrong.

[Supermanfan]

Ariana got ready to go to work at the City Hall building. She's the first politician in the family so let's hope she gets elected to a higher status during this election season in the USA.


It's been a bit so I forgot whether Quinton had to work that evening or not. Anyway, here he is taking care of little Daisy, his step-daughter.


Since I married L4U-Rn off to Toaster, Melanie and Ariana have been the ones that take care of the garden the most.


Melanie then spent a little time with her son Michael before his next birthday.


Once his father and sister came home, his mother took him to his birthday cake.


I forget what his newest trait is but Michael turned out pretty good. I'm curious if he'll look like his brother Evan or if he'll be more like a male version of his sisters.


The whole family, minus Daisy ate cake and chatted about their days. The family's time in Sunset Valley is growing shorter as I feel it's about time to move to a new town and see some new townies. I really want to get to know some Sims I've never seen before in my time playing this game.


Lastly, Michael had a nice chat with his father.
Two day time jump


No Spooky Day update from me as I forgot to do anything for it. However, it was the full moon and Spooky Day when these few pictures were taken. Here, Ariana is in her wolf form doing the gardening.


Inside, Michael had his first transformation into his werewolf form.



The only non-werewolf besides his step-daughter Daisy, Quinton decided to watch TV and not deal with the family. Of course, he then had to get up to pee himself due to Michael's transformation.


Melanie autonomously picked up Daisy but I stopped her from running outside with her. Instead, I had her socialize with Daisy to increase their relationship.


Dwight was the only werewolf I sent on a hunt during this particular night. He didn't find much except for two gems that aren't worth much.


I guess I got a bit more of a Spooky Day post here then I originally thought, even though it is November 1st as I type this. Anyway, here is the ghost of Tommy Bunch in the family cemetery. Nobody new has been added for a bit but there are some elderly family members who will be added very soon.

[Supermanfan]

Update from October 30th. Just now got around to posting it. Its been long enough I forgot what even happened.


Dwight cooking breakfast for the family in his werewolf form.


Michael (or Mike, I'll use either one) taking out the trash in his underwear. He inherited Dwight and Melanie's lycanthropy like his older three siblings did.


Dwight and Melanie ate breakfast with their son-in-law, Quinton. He's the only normal human in the household, the others are werewolves and a Plantsim.


Quinton is still in the music career, although I forget how much farther he has to go. Anyway, he always likes to break out his guitar when I don't have him doing anything else.


Back in his human form, I sent Dwight out to get some elixirs and ingredients. Sadly, I don't even remember what he bought.


When I sent him home, I had him chat with Quinton. I'm trying to get relationships up as some of the household members barely know each other.


Finally got a picture with Ariana in it for this update, I was starting to think I missed her when taking screenshots. Anyway, she decided to play chess with her younger sibling. For those new to this family, Ariana is the next heir to the family and she is one of the triplets. Evan and Abigail have their own households elsewhere in Sunset Valley.



Dwight was also outside practicing his martial arts. Then, he gained his final belt.


I almost got them all to sit down together for supper. I don't remember but I'm guessing Quinton was at work as that's the most likely reason he wasn't here.


Never mind, I guess he already ate or was just delayed. Either way, he got stuck fixing the dishwasher.


Michael's Imaginary Friend wanted to come out to play so I reluctantly obliged. I don't remember its name or its gender but either way, I'll probably make it real and Michael will marry it later. I'm giving Michael up to story progression as a young adult anyway so I don't care too much who he's with.


Ariana was on the phone with someone, it may have been her one of her siblings but I think it was actually Garry Sekemoto, her father-in-law.


Dwight spent his evening working on police reports. I don't recall who it was on.


And lastly, Michael began using the chemistry set to bring his IF to life.

On day 135 of the save, Dwight and Melanie Langerak were the first ones up on the first day of winter. Since they had had a party the day prior, there was plenty of leftovers in the fridge so the whole family ate on those.


I kind of had to hurry and close the game down last I played because it was getting late and I had work the next day. I had forgot to clean up the dishes on the table so by morning, the Langerak's complained. Melanie had a whole stack of plates to wash before starting her day.


Dwight decided to practice breaking space rocks in the snow. I hurried up and gave him Immune to Cold so he wouldn't freeze. He had the LTP for it so it worked in our favor.


Daisy's sleep schedule is slightly off from everyone else's. She was up for a few hours before Quinton and Ariana got up but Quinton played with her once he woke up.


Anytime that I don't have Melanie doing something else, she ends up playing her guitar. Quinton seems to do the same thing so I'm thinking a jam session may be fun in the near future. Maybe I'll add in some other instruments but I'm not making a band yet, although that may happen in the family's future generations.


Quinton got the mail which included bills, two love letters, and a wall decoration.


With everyone either at work or school, Melanie watched TV with her son-in-law before getting up and finishing her latest book. She had already reached her LTW but she did get a promotion once she finished this book.


Random shot of Ariana heading home after work. A wild horse was in the background.


More leftovers were eaten for supper after Dwight and Ariana made it home. Michael, Dwight and Melanie's youngest was still on his way from school.


Melanie had an opportunity to make 4 new friends so I started working on that. This lady is Jennifer Bollinger and is just a random Sim created by the game. Jennifer later ended up with Christian Jones, a clone of the founders husband, Christopher Steel. She has been added to the family tree and is the only new person added.


When he had finished supper, Michael worked on his homework while Wiggles tried to "help".


Quinton finished his shift and then headed back home.

[Supermanfan]

Dwight and Melanie were first up this morning and they ate some more leftovers. By the time the rest of the family got up and ate, the leftovers were just about gone.


Mommy and Daddy were busy so Grandma Melanie spent some time with her granddaughter Daisy. She won't be a toddler for much longer so better enjoy while they can.



Dwight practiced his martial arts in the snow again before heading off to work.


Ariana talked with her brother Michael before he had to go to school. Ariana had the day off so she spent time doing what she wanted to do after her brother left.


One of the things Ariana decided to do was become friends with another Sim. This Sim is Anne Keaton who is actually Bella and Malcolm Landgraabs daughter. I think when Bella was with a Keaton, the game changed Anne's last name or something, I'm not entirely sure.


Ariana used her skills in charisma to charm Anne. She complimented her cleverness and discussed the medical field with her. By the time Ariana finished, she had made a friend out of Anne.


Back at home, Melanie read a book while Quinton watched TV. He still hadn't changed out of his pajamas and it was getting close to noon.


Ariana came back from her little trip into town and she quickly found Quinton. She kissed him then they had a little chat about life in general.


Ariana and Melanie then ate a later lunch as they were both getting hungry. A few of the others waited a bit longer as they weren't too bad yet.


Dwight got his next promotion and is now heading on the path to being an International Super Spy.


Melanie had a wish to build an igloo so I decided to let her do so. I never did check to see if she finished it but I'm assuming she did.


Ariana read a book autonomously so I just let her continue doing so.


Later, Ariana had a nice chat with one of her friends. I remembered who it was last night but I forgot by the time I started typing this update up.


The following day, Daisy had her transition from toddler to child. I was a bit surprised that Quinton was the one to take her to the cake, I figured it'd be Ariana instead.


I had a bit of a hard time deciding how to dress Daisy but I ended up with this. I care more about young adulthood and adulthood appearances more so this works well enough.


The whole family, minus Quinton, ate birthday cake together and that is where I closed the game down last night. It was nice to actually get some time to play but I had some things to do that caused me not to finish the day like I wanted to.


Continuing from my last update (when was that again? :lol: ) Quinton ate his piece of Daisy's birthday cake. He's still being lazy and won't change out of his PJ's unless I make him by showering or changing outfit.


Me: Dwight, what the heck are you doing? It's only 15F degrees out and you're breaking space rocks?
Dwight: Yeah, gotta show off for the ladies.
Me: You're married, remember?


Ariana: Hey, Mom! My teeth are so much better than yours are.


Melanie: Oh, please. I was a werewolf before you were even born, girl. Who do you think bit your father?
Ariana: Okay, you got me there.


Back to Quinton being lazy. I played this day without much intervention so he decided to go back to bed for most of the day. He's got the couch potato trait so that is why but I wish he'd do something else.


Daisy decided to play with her IF in the bathroom. I forgot what it's name is but one of the ones in the household is named Wiggles. I think that one is Mike's though.


Something changed Melanie's mood about the werewolf curse as I caught her complaining to Ariana about it.
Melanie: I mean, what kind of woman wants to change into a big ugly monster every month?
Ariana: Geez, Mom. Calm down.


After that conversation, Ariana decided to sit down and read a good book. I'm going to have to clean out inventories soon as I don't want a ton of books coming to Riverview with them.


Quinton: Stop judging me! If I want to watch TV, then I'm gonna watch TV.


However, Melanie complaining about being a werewolf must have rubbed off on Ariana. She was seen complaining to Quinton about it.


Then Melanie got a phone call from a friend so she chatted with them. She doesn't seem very excited here though, but she actually seemed to enjoy the call.


I had to bring Dwight inside as he was in need of a shower. Once he finished, he played games on the computer.


Quinton: You are so beautiful, I can't ever take my eyes off you.
Ariana: You're pretty handsome too, you know.
They went from being romantic to just talking then back to romantic talk. Nobody really done anything too interesting on autonomy but it was fun at least.

[Supermanfan]

Continuing from my last update (when was that again? :lol: ) Quinton ate his piece of Daisy's birthday cake. He's still being lazy and won't change out of his PJ's unless I make him by showering or changing outfit.


Me: Dwight, what the heck are you doing? It's only 15F degrees out and you're breaking space rocks?
Dwight: Yeah, gotta show off for the ladies.
Me: You're married, remember?


Ariana: Hey, Mom! My teeth are so much better than yours are.


Melanie: Oh, please. I was a werewolf before you were even born, girl. Who do you think bit your father?
Ariana: Okay, you got me there.


Back to Quinton being lazy. I played this day without much intervention so he decided to go back to bed for most of the day. He's got the couch potato trait so that is why but I wish he'd do something else.


Daisy decided to play with her IF in the bathroom. I forgot what it's name is but one of the ones in the household is named Wiggles. I think that one is Mike's though.


Something changed Melanie's mood about the werewolf curse as I caught her complaining to Ariana about it.
Melanie: I mean, what kind of woman wants to change into a big ugly monster every month?
Ariana: Geez, Mom. Calm down.


After that conversation, Ariana decided to sit down and read a good book. I'm going to have to clean out inventories soon as I don't want a ton of books coming to Riverview with them.


Quinton: Stop judging me! If I want to watch TV, then I'm gonna watch TV.


However, Melanie complaining about being a werewolf must have rubbed off on Ariana. She was seen complaining to Quinton about it.


Then Melanie got a phone call from a friend so she chatted with them. She doesn't seem very excited here though, but she actually seemed to enjoy the call.


I had to bring Dwight inside as he was in need of a shower. Once he finished, he played games on the computer.


Quinton: You are so beautiful, I can't ever take my eyes off you.
Ariana: You're pretty handsome too, you know.
They went from being romantic to just talking then back to romantic talk. Nobody really done anything too interesting on autonomy but it was fun at least.


Daisy got lucky as did Michael because school was cancelled. For some reason, the two kids decided to go outside to chat when they could have stayed indoors.


Then Daisy initiated a snowball fight with Mike. They did this for a while, with Daisy only wearing her shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops.


Ariana finished work where she was promoted to mayor of Sunset Valley!


Christian Jones is still alive and kicking (well, forget the kicking) surprisingly. If you remember, he is Christopher Steel Jones' clone so he is Melanie's great uncle. He's actually only slightly older than Melanie but being a werewolf, she hasn't become an elder yet.


Then it was time for Quinton's birthday party. Daisy is in the corner, then there is Ashley Bunch, and Rex Sekemoto behind Melanie. Cori Lucas and Tomeka Sekemoto were also there as well as one of Quinton's brothers.


The magic sparkles swirled around Quinton and he aged up to Adult. The only thing that changed was his hair but I fixed it later.


Some of the guests and the family got to eat cake but I had to fix a few routing fails and have some of the family eat other food.


Mike met Ashley for the first time. He thought she seemed nice but they didn't chat long.


Ariana caught up with Cori as it had been a while since they'd seen each other. She even donated to Ariana's campaign fund.


Everyone had went to bed once the amazing party had finished. However, Dwight had to go into work a little after midnight for some reason. I don't remember what the reason was but of course it's something EA put in.

[Supermanfan]

Dwight came back home just in time to eat breakfast with his wife and granddaughter. He took an elixir to help with his sleep since he didn't get a full night.


Then Dwight and Melanie shared a drink together as someone had left some on the mixology bar.


Afterwards, Melanie gave him a shy kiss like the one she gave him when they first got together so many weeks ago.


They hadn't had a good sparring session lately so I had them work on that. Dwight is so much better though as he has mastered the skill.


Upstairs, Daisy's Imaginary Friend became "real" to her. I don't know yet, but I may actually turn it real later on.


I sent the family to the Winter Festival to have some fun. For some reason, Mike didn't get any food so I had him buy some there. Look who happened to be the vendor, it's the old family plumbot, L4U-Rn.

Three generations of Langerak women skated on the rink together. It's hard to believe I've made it to generation 5 already.


Quinton played guitar for visitors to the park with some of the family watching as well.


Mike decided to talk with his brother-in-law when everyone got home. Ariana seems to be making sure the conversation stays friendly.


Today also happened to be Snowflake Day and Michael's birthday all wrapped in one. Ariana invited their two siblings, their spouses, and a couple of cousins.


Well, he didn't turn out too bad but I may change him a bit to reflect his traits. They are brave, athletic, excitable, and the newest is snob.


Everyone ate cake together or leftovers for the ones who didn't get any. Rain Langerak and Christian Jones are also in the picture.


And lastly, Ariana decided to learn to play keyboard so she can jam with her husband. She played for awhile until time for bed.


First of all, I meant to share this photo on my last update but somehow I missed it. You can't see his face completely, but it gives you all an idea.


I was happy to see Christopher come back, he'd been gone for awhile.


Eric also came back and you can sort of see how he inherited some from Christopher. He inherited from Emily as well, mostly in the eyes.


I hadn't done one for a while so I did a reset everything. This made the family hungry so I sent them out to eat. I hadn't changed Michael's clothes quite yet and Quinton had a different hair but that's the full household.


Dwight continues to practice his martial arts skill even though he already reached the top. I need to have him collect the space rocks he left behind soon.


Meanwhile, Melanie continued to write "Anywhere With You" in hopes it would be a bestseller.


Quinton and Ariana decided that they'd like to jam together in the kitchen so I let them do so. Ariana still doesn't sound that great but she's getting better.


Michael keeps trying to make his IF into a real Sim but he fails at creating any potions so he hasn't made much progress.


Behind him, Daisy was learning the cooking skill.


IF: You're never going to learn the potion to make me real if you keep blowing yourself up.


Dwight needed another shower after chopping space rocks in half. He wasn't paying attention so I got a picture for all you females out there. :wink:


The full moon was coming but Melanie transformed early because I made her write her book until her fun meter was in the red. Whoops.


Ariana got scared with her family turning into werewolves and she ended up peeing on the floor.


I then sent the whole family to the family cemetery so the werewolves could hunt and the normal Sims could play. I'll have to remember to take the graves with me when they move.


I still hadn't changed his outfit but I had to laugh at how ridiculous it looks.


They all had a nice night hunting and playing in the snow.

[Supermanfan]

The full moon came out the night before so no one slept good. Quinton works late so he didn't sleep well either so the family was able to eat breakfast together.


Daisy was the only one who had a normal sleeping time so she worked on potions with her IF, Wiggles. (I did a gender check and Wiggles is a she). Michael is sleeping in the background, his IF is on the floor.


Dwight had a bunch of gems he needed to collect so I had him do that and put them in a chest.


Melanie threw a party at Varg's Tavern and invited a bunch of family. Ariana went to talk with her brother, Evan, and they had a nice conversation.


Meanwhile, Melanie had a chat with her daughter-in-law which was very pleasant as well.


While they were at the party, I had Michael make supper for Daisy and himself. However, the family at the party were getting hungry so I put that food on the counter at Varg's for the family.


Neither Daisy or Michael have any luck with the chemistry set. At this rate, their IF's will be elders, as will they.


Quinton decided to dance with his sister-in-law, Abigail. Nothing happened, but I would have played it through if they started flirting.



Melanie's cousin, Alicia Bunch, was also invited to the party. Melanie gave her a big hug when she saw her and they discussed their lives. The party then ended when I felt it was time to send everyone home.


That following day was the first day of spring and Dwight and Melanie shared some time watching TV before the younger four woke up.


This time, Michael tried to create a potion but then it was time for school and he never learned one.


Once everyone got up, I had them sit down for breakfast together, at least those who were awake.


Ariana decided to read a book in Michael's single bed right before work. I had her make the family's beds and then clicked on a book so that is probably why as the bed was the closest place.


The mayor had to work today so she left before the carpool. I'm hoping Ariana gets promoted by the middle of the week.


I had a lot of gems that needed cutting so I had Melanie go to the alchemy store to cut them and consign them. Later on, she made around $40,000 or so off of them.


Once she got home, I had her check the mail and pay bills. I also had her send some metals for smelting as I don't have the store content that lets Sims do it at home.


Dwight had to disguise himself as a mad scientist for work today. The mission was successful and he was promoted. Unfortunately, his birthday is soon so he'll either have to work as an elder, or retire without reaching his LTW.


Most of the family got to eat supper with each other. I'm not sure, but it almost looks like Quinton is talking about a breakup or something.


I was a bit surprised when Ariana got an opportunity for work. It said that L4U-Rn voted for the other candidate in the recent election and that the council wanted Ariana to cut ties with the Plumbot in exchange for a promotion. I almost decided against it, but it's a small price to pay for a promotion. Ariana invited her over, then proceeded to insult her and declare L4U-Rn as a nemesis. Now I just have to wait until Ariana returns to work.


Lastly, Ariana wanted to increase her relationship with her father so I had her and Dwight have a chat. They are still friends but I needed to build up their relationship some.

[Supermanfan]

Someone didn't clean up their plate from the night before. Melanie seems to be looking at it in disgust, probably trying to figure out who to complain to. The Watcher was nice enough to delete the plate so it wouldn't stink up the dining room during breakfast.


Daisy doesn't have to worry about eating so I let her play with her IF while everyone else ate. When she was sleeping, the IF reverted to this form so I put it in the inventory. I'll let it out again if and when Daisy or Michael learns the potion to make them real.


Ariana woke up shortly after her parents and brother did. Quinton had a late night at work so he was later getting up.


I had Dwight watch TV when he was finished with breakfast because his fun meter was down and I wanted it filled for work. Melanie also had a wish to watch the cooking channel so I had her join him once she was ready for the morning.


Daisy and Ariana had a chat before school and work started. Daisy was talking about her upcoming birthday and how more of her PlantSim abilities would appear. Soon she will be able to photosynthesize.


Dwight is an Undercover Specialist so he has to wear random outfits to work. This one makes him look like he is ready to attend Comic-Con in San Francisco or something.


Ariana talked with a random guy named Oliver O'Rourke to try and raise her charisma skill. It did rise, but she didn't get a new level yet.


Melanie got an opportunity to resurrect a deceased Sim. She went to the graveyard to figure out who to bring back. It didn't take her long to decide who she needed at that moment.


Unfortunately, the scientists couldn't bring Emily back like they wanted to but Melanie had her beloved grandmother back. (Temporarily, I'll need the space in the future so she'll be going back to the Netherworld for a while again. Also, like I told @bekkasan, I'll be bringing Christopher back for a small return next time I play.


Emily and Melanie wasted no time in catching up with family news. Emily was surprised to learn she had a PlantSim for a great granddaughter. She also discussed with Melanie how there are certain fish you can add to life fruit to make a dish that brings back the dead. Melanie stored that in her mind for future reference.


Quinton didn't seem fazed in the least that their was a ghost in the house. He had a nice chat with Emily about Dwight and the police department in general.


Then came Dwight's birthday. Emily sort of remembered him as she attended the wedding between him and Melanie all those Sim days ago. Daisy wasn't quite home from school yet so that explains why she wasn't in this photo.


"Well, what do you all think? I still gotta dye my hair, though."


Michael attended prom but did not have a date. He did hook up with a girl there so he may not have to marry his IF now.


Daisy seemed a bit frustrated with her homework. She'd rather be outside, soaking in the sun than sitting at a desk doing math problems.


I had sent everyone to bed but then I realized that I hadn't had anyone do the gardening. I ended up waking Emily and sending her out do finish the gardening.


Once she finished the gardening, I sent her to the alchemy store to buy some ingredients and elixirs. If you remember, she has completely mastered alchemy, one of the reasons I brought her back.


The alchemy store didn't have what I was looking for so I had Emily create what I needed. Luckily, Dwight had broken some space rocks and the gem I needed for this elixir was one that he had. With Emily's skill, she was able to create three of the elixirs.


I didn't really do anything with Dwight's clothing but I plan on it soon. Anyway, both he and Melanie still have the nicest bed so they wake up before anyone else does. I'll have to remember to pack the things I need when I bring them to Riverview. I don't know that I'll get to that point tonight but I will see.


Emily (and my) plan was to cure Dwight of his lycanthropy once he became an elder. Melanie will also get cured when she becomes an elder, mostly so I slowly get rid of werewolves so I can bring in a different occult. Fairies, Vampires, Aliens, and Genies are the ones I need still unless I add zombies and mummies. They already had a Plumbot so I still need to have them get a SimBot. I also want to get each pet in the game for this family too and when I get Island Paradise, I'll have a mermaid in the family tree as well. These are some of the plans anyway, just not sure when each one will happen except for the fact vampires will either be in Moonlight Falls or Bridgeport.


Emily also cured herself from being a witch. She will probably get brought back every once in a while as will some of the other ghosts in the family.


Dwight and Ariana watched TV together. This is just a side note but Dwight doesn't look good at all as a female so I'm glad Melanie's features mixed well to create Ariana, Evan, Abigail, and Michael.


Daisy finally learned one of the potions but not the one I need. I guess it's a start at least and she can use the Mood Enhancer whenever she wants.
