The Immortals are Misbehaving! an unofficial updateJorianne and Jasmine keep sneaking off to cook when my back is turned even though there is a refrigerator packed with all kinds of perfect food that Jackson and various butlers have prepared. I finally removed the stove and the grill so that there will be no accidental leveling. I'll have to put it back when I need Jackson to make more ambrosia.
Jackson's brain has officially turned to mush. The only thing he will do on his own is play in the sprinklers. At least he is not attempting to level someone else's supermax skill.
Jessica is the best of the bunch - she always gravitates to sculpture or painting if I leave her alone. They all pretty much ignore the beautiful rec room I built for them on the 3rd floor.
I've decided that I am not going to use any of the instrument skills as supermaxes for gens 5-8, so I built a music studio and Jessica started a band (Starr Quality) with Jackson on bass, Jori on drums, Jasmine on keyboard, and herself on guitar. Do you have any idea how hard it is to coordinate 4 sims to get them practice or play in the park together?! God help us the first time I have to get them all to a gig!
I've also dropped all of the Late Nite bars/clubs into SV, but so far Raj is the only one who has shown any interest in them without my intervention. Jess is actually quite a good dancer, so I think with a little encouragement *cough* alcohol *cough* she might be persuaded to shake her groove thang on a bar or table. It's always the quiet ones!
Jocelyn celebrated a birthday last night and added bookworm to genius and friendly. She's really good about getting her homework done and loves to work on leveling her logic skill. The great husband hunt of generation 5 is officially on. Her first friend at school is a paperboy, so he's a no go. Then the Ursine boy (I forget his name) invited her over to play after school...woot!...descendant of an original townie! Oh crap, he's a vampire...strike 2. There are still a couple of interesting prospects, though. A little guy named Angel something-or-other. He is absolutely adorable from his thumbnail in the relationship pane - I think Jocelyn will
stalk *ahem* call him and invite him over to play.
The other fellow is none other than Estevan Lam (seen here with his Mom and Jeremey at a party).
He is something like Jocelyn's fourth cousin several times removed. (Jackson had a relationship with Raven Lam after Agnes died and fathered Cecilia Lam. Cecilia (now an elder) had a child with Clifford Hay (son of Bree Hay) - Estevan - so he is Jackson's grandson.) I think the relationship is distant enough that it won't be a problem for Joce to marry him, but his genetics are questionable. What Jackson never knew was that Raven was evil - even though her other traits were fine. She passed that trait on to Cecilia and it actually comes out pretty often when my sims are around her. It turns out that Clifford is also evil (no idea where he got it from because both of his parents had excellent traits), so I'm a bit worried that Estevan may also be evil. It's not the worst thing in the world...I can always give him a midlife crisis if he has any undesirable traits. Also, Steve Starr sounds a bit better than Angel Starr, which is a little too stripperish for me.
We'll have to see who Joce hits it off with and if any other boys come out of the woodwork.
Oy vey, I've got my hands full!
