Thanks, Granny! I appreciate it.  Just trying to remember what's going on with the story.. we shall see if I can get back into it. The idea to speed run the rest is an urge I'm having to curb. Lemme tell ya. But I have soooo many screenshots. Like the ones below!

Chapter 72: Teenagers - Round Two

Lulu: How about we do something after homework is over?
Ashwin: Nah. I think I'm gonna work on the garden.
Artie: You're allowed to have fun.
Ashwin: Don't talk with your mouth full.
Lulu: C'mon Ashy. Weston is here and everything.
Ashwin: Just not today Lulu. Besides Weston is busy
Artie: Busy?


Racheal: Rawr.
Weston: Wow.. you're just amazing.


Weston: Oh! Our first text.
Racheal: Uhh.. sure. So I was wondering...
Weston: Yes?




This accelerated quickly.. silly teenagers.


Brynnlee: I'm not looking.
Alena: Why not?
Brynnlee: Why don't you go find something else to do? Didn't you want to see if the new machine was actually going to help with your Komorebi aspiration?
Alena: Oh yea...


Alena: This is.... not helping!
Which is sad.


Not bad considering it's his second degree and Art History at that.


Alena: If you spent more time with them, they wouldn't react this way.
Ashwin: It hurts!
Alena: Pain is temporary, Ashwin. Just calm down and they will too.


Lulu: What's wrong with your brother?
Racheal: I don't know. He's been like this all day.
Ashwin: Psst. Guys. He had a birthday with no party. Give him a break.


Lulu: -Teen mood swing activates-
Whole House: -shudders-


A new work outfit in your favorite color and looks totally insane on an erratic sim?  Score! (I previously posted she had finished her career but I think this is when she actually did it.)


Ashwin: Oh Eggton. There's nothing like having a chicken best friend.


Alena: Here you go my friends. Just going to take of this little problem to keep the teenager happy.


Well that's one way to tell jokes to your 'friends'. Raising Comedy skill and keeping a sim busy.. check


Racheal: Have I ever told you that I love your pink shirt on you?
Weston: No but I was hoping you would. I know it's your favorite color.
Racheal: Oh? How could you tell?


Brynlee: Um.. excuse me.. a little attention over here...


Reaper: Huh. I thought this was the house for sure. Okay, who do we have here?


Reaper: Yea... Mena. Okay well.  Looks like you're coming with me.
Racheal: Oh Mom.. no.


Racheal: Why?
Reaper: -sings- It's the Circle of life!
Racheal: Wha?
Reaper: -mumbles- definitely not the right house. Well, I'm sorry kid.


Racheal: I thought you were leaving.
Reaper: I was but the door is locked.
Racheal: It's selectively locked. How did you get in?
Reaper: But I was hoping to check the computer.
Racheal: Wow.


Obligatory oversized crop shot! Ashwin's first try at it. Not bad.

So glad that you have made it back to your Grims, Rica!

Ashwin looks fantastic with green hair!
Weston is such a cutie with his pointy ears.  What exactly is his skin color?  A cream color or light yellow?
Artie and Alena are really into the whole nudity thing. I wonder if Ashwin will inherit that tendency, too.
Great job on the oversized crops, Ash!

Welcome back, my evil little friend. I am sorry that you are having real-life problems. I know the feeling.  Now, I am curious as to who that red male is.

And so the fun continues! Nice to see you back, and take care.

Welcome back and thank you!  Actually the day I was supposed to update this last was the day I did a thing.  Something that is coming to a forum message near you!

The Stayin' Alive crew will be back in action soon enough. I just needed a break while still hanging with the Sims.. and I got one. More to come!

For those that haven't gotten a peak at it - While I've been away this last month I was still Simming, I was just doing a speed run of a different dynasty as a palate cleanser if you will. I managed 8 generations of Grim Adjacents in a RL month and in 1.25 Sim years. It was a lot of fun and the entire time even when I knew I wasn't doing a story. I knew I wanted it to have a tie-in to this one. You'll notice that one of the founders is our boy Adrien who gets a second chance at having fun in my little world.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support my madness. I do appreciate it and hope to be back to the entertaining part of this journey soon.  To catch the stats of the Grim Adjacent Dynasty, head over here for a sneak peak at all the pretty faces and RED SKIN!
