The Halliwell Dynasty (IV the win!)

[kattiq]

I'm proud to see my "lock unruly spouses in the basement" idea has caught on.

Allen caught his butt on fire. Have no clue how, but he did!

I bought a couple cribs for the girls. Aren't they cute?

Mortimer finally got his 25 ice sculptures done, so his 26th was Allen!

It was put downstairs in Allen's room.

Melinda had her birthday. What is up with the baldness in the family??

This was very shocking too. I gave her hair, and she didn't have the trademark Halliwell hair!

So I quickly ran to the store and bought hair dye. Now she looks like a Halliwell!  

I was teaching her to walk,

And decided to have my adult birthday.

Hmmm. No sparkles. Well, that was weird. My age still says YA too. Oh well, I know how to fix it.

Yep. That worked. Although now I'm almost an elder. Wow thankfully Allen knows the Ambrosia recipe! I know I'm not supposed to eat it til I'm an elder, but I'm also not supposed to be an elder the next day after my adult birthday!! Anyways, here is Melinda and I. Aren't we adorable?

I was teaching Melinda to talk and we started talking about moons! They are pretty!

Then it was time to teach her good bathroom practices!

Allen did my adult sculpture.

Mortimer was painting my adult portrait and decides to have his adult birthday too!

Allen does Mortimer's adult sculpture,

And Melinda's toddler one.

Since Melinda will also be a painter, I gave her the books Patty read. Here she is reading them.

My money trees gave me 3 gifts this morning!!

Last pics of the night is my room,

Melinda's

And Mortimer's!

Enjoy!

Esther's words:
Yep aging bug hit again. I can confirm that changing her hair fixed it. Well, actually all I did was gave her a little eye makeup. But the scary part was coming away from the mirror, and looking at her age. She was at the end of the adult stage, almost an elder. I immediately had Allen make an Ambrosia and gave it to her to reset it back to the beginning of Adult. If this attempt fails, before I restart my 5th attempt I'm going to uninstall reinstall and hopefully that will fix whatever this bug is. But at least we know how to fix it now!

Of course. Where else? Haha.

Happy birthday Melinda!
And you do have a point. I mean the basement is a prime location

[Esther1981]

Thanks Kattiq! Yes it is! 

[kattiq]

Oh and I'm really glad you fixed that darn aging bug. I'd hate to have to see you start all over again!

[Esther1981]

Thanks! I am glad too, I would hate to too! Stupid bugs. I love the game, just wish everything would work the way it's supposed too!

[kattiq]

Yeah this has to be one of the most temperamental games I've ever played. But it's too awesome to pass up just because of a little hiccup every once in awhile. My game has been freezing lately. So it's been frustrating having to "re-play" stuff all the time!

[Esther1981]

I know the feeling. Re-playing things is the most irritating thing! At least I got to the third generation last time, hopefully I'll go all the way this time! Sorry about your game freezing!

[TheChronicR]

Wow, that's a bit too many children. Happy birthday Melinda, Penny, and Mortimer! And thanks for buying the cribs!

[ILoveDolls]

Lock Mortimer up, Esther. -.-''

He should be locked up! And hung out to dry! Sim ladies need to fear the Mort-Man

[RubyLovesSims]

Esther, great re-start! By the way, where did you get the last name "Halliway"? It's pretty cool. Did you just make it up, or is it a "real" English last name?

[Esther1981]

You're welcome TheChronicR! Thanks! Yea ILoveDolls! Fear the powerful Mort-Man!  Thanks Ruby! The name Halliwell is from the TV show Charmed. It's an awesome show about witches! All the names are from the show. Well except Mortimer of course. Technically Christopher isn't, but Piper and Leo have a son named Chris, so in a way it is too! 

[Esther1981]

Grrrrr. Have I said I hate the aging bug?!?! Ok let me say it again! I hate hate hate the idiotic bug. I just opened up my game to play and guess what? Penny is an elder!!  Which means I missed an entire life stage. Thankfully, I got her adult pic and sculpture done last night before I closed it. I have been rushing around, trying like crazy to get everything done she needs before eating Ambrosia for real. Lot of good it did her last night though.  Hopefully I can do the 3 gardening ops but I seriously doubt it now. She's still on the cheese one. I know she could have done it no problem if she would have been allowed to age properly. I might even need to add the other plants just to get her to supermax gardening. Oh man I'm so mad at my stupid game right now. Good news is I'm not having to start over! 

[TheChronicR]

That's horrible, Esther! An entire life stage! Maybe Metro will allow you to turn off aging temporarily to have more days to manage to finish the requirements?
