Another requirement down

Dad says I should have taken over the updates when I graduated high school.  I'm just glad that he let me be who I wanted to be for a while.  I don't think I would have been ready to handle the reins until now.   I've reached the midpoint of my career and Landgraab Science finally gave me a new uniform.   They said if I work a little harder, I'll get a new banisher too. 


Some weird things have been happening around Sunset Valley.   Lately the ghosts have been attacking parties.   The latest incident was at the house of my late friend Candice Gould.  Her brother was having a party when some ghosts started acting up.  Some of the guests came to stare at me while I was working.


Randall was at the party, so I tried to give him courage to make a move on Regan Gould.  He tried but unfortunately, everyone kept stopping what they were doing when they saw him.  We don't think it worked out but I tried. [All of the relationships in Sunset Valley outside of my house are same sex so I fear for the marriage options of the next generation.]


On a whim, I also took a three day trip to France to finish supermaxing my inventing ability.  I got an opportunity to go for logical reasons and decided it would be a great place to blow stuff up.  A lot of stuff, including some stuff that wasn't supposed to explode.   I'm a grown man.  I'm a Steel man.  However, after what happened in France, I realize that I am also a man that's afraid of his own mother.



Despite all of that, I've also managed to reach Superstar status.  I guess have two parents with 5 stars of their own seriously helps.  Yusun got four stars just for moving in with us.   One of the first gifts I got as a 5 star celebrity was a new car which I had repainted for her. 


Speaking of Yusun, she seems to really enjoy living with us.  She got a career in the journalism field and told me that her ultimate dream is to become a Star News Anchor.  I told her that I would be there every step of the way to make sure she got everything she ever needed.  It's the least I could do, considering how happy she makes me.


I can't believe my adult birthday has already come.  It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from high school.   Mom threw the party together for me.  She tried to only invite family but we have so many extended family members now even that seems like a lot.  All three of Mike's boys came.  They're now teenagers and I think the resemblance is uncanny to Mike.  They all seem to have his lips.


Then it was time for me to blow out the candles on my cake.  Yusun had a good laugh at my expense but I'll get to laugh at her in two days on her birthday.  I don't know why  my hair falls back into this position every time but it's just slightly annoying.


When I went to visit the mirror to get my hair fixed, I also decided to try something new out in commemoration of my birthday.  Dad says I look like a giant parrot between the hair and my clothing colors but I like it.


Yusun seems like to it, too.  She let me know that it didn't bother her at all to kiss a man with a beard.  That look in her eyes made me realize that I have something I have to do for her.   So I called my boss and got the night off to plan.


Ricanote:  Yusun's new traits will be Ambitious, Charismatic, Couch Potato, Neurotic and Friendly.   I decided to keep three of her current traits because it will help with reporting and getting her to be a News Anchor.  I know she's going to be taking time soon to raise the newest member of the family.  Whenever that actually happens after Generations comes out lol.  I'm still waiting for a death in the family. I actually had one but the game crashed when I took a screenshot of it.  So it hasn't "actually" happened yet.  I've been getting more crashes and the Steels game file runs really slow some days.  Already had one error 12 as well which I think means I need to make the house smaller or something.  Anyone know?

Yay for blowing stuff up, always good times to be had!

Too bad Simbots aren't more inclined to start up their own relationships, mine never even found a girlfriend, *sigh*.

My Simbot had no trouble finding a boyfriend of his own but that's not what I wanted so his best friend Mike Steel told him to break if off with the paparazzi guy.

OK, first, how in the world did Cori manage to blow up the hill?!!! Am I the only one that saw that?

Second, 'fraid so. The Error 12 comes from the game using too much memory space. Send me a PM if you want, my husband has a neat and safe trick to increase the amount of memory available to the game when it's running. Saved my Dynasty!

Happy Birthday to Coriander!

Good thing he went alone to France, I vaguely remember a Jasmine Starr who was hated by everyone after she blew the hole of France up!

I too, do wonder what that floating house is all about; did he blow up the first two floors? :P

The floating house was created by the hill disappearing.  So basically he just blew up everything holding up the house.  The house itself save a couple of stairs is pretty much intact!  Actually, it was a really bad fire that bad little Coriander put together.  Silly inventing nuts. 

Also - he managed to supermax inventing without maxing Handiness !   I'm so excited to have a backup in case one of the other skills proves evil.

Coriander's Plan

Unfortunately, by the time I remembered to call my boss to get the night off, he had already put up two jobs for me to do that night.  He's giving me Monday night off though.  Geez.   The first job was at the Welshs house.   I don't know if anyone has mentioned before but apparently they are a distant relation through Grandma Agnes.   Dad was visiting with Patricia and Damion when two things happened.  One of the jobs I was slated for was going on - a spirit invasion - and Grim came for Patricia. 


I tried to get in and out of there as fast as I could to give the family time to grieve.   Dad called Mom up and told her to meet him at the Aquarius.   He wanted to spend time with her and dance away his sorrows after seeing a close friend pass.   Mint and Uncle Dill were also at Aquarius for celebrity reasons.  They said that Mom and Dad only had eyes for each other. 


My second house call got cancelled so I went home to snuggle in with Yusun.  In the early hours of the morning while it was still dark out, I took her out for breakfast at the diner.   She loves the blueberry pancakes that the chef makes there.  Then I asked her to come down to the beach with me.   Right across the road from the place she grew up, I told her how I really felt about her.


Then with the sky starting to brighten, I got down on one knee and asked her to be mine forever.  I told her I would do everything in my power to make sure she's happy if she would be my bride.  She gladly accepted and jokingly asked me what had taken me so long to ask.   I told her that I wished we could get married right then and there, but I wanted to be the first Steel to at least have witnesses of my wedding vows.  I wanted my mother to see me get married.  Yusun said she understood and for that I am eternally grateful. 






The rest of the weekend was spent just spending time with everyone in the house.   Mom and Dad did a lot more dancing.


The other men of the house do what I'm told is a Steel men tradition - they played video games.


On Sunday night, I threw a party for Yusun's Adult birthday.  We told everyone about the engagement.  I don't think anyone was surprised or worried.   We tried to only invite family and a few close friends but something about a Steel party always attracts extras.


My lady love aged up into a beautiful adult.  I can't really tell the difference between how she was just moments before.  Well, the hair was different but I know better than most the cruelty of birthday sparkles. 


Officially, my first house party was considered a success.  Mike's boys told me they had a great time and couldn't wait for the next one.  I hope that we can remain close to them even after Mike passes.  I can't imagine what life is going to be like for them since Mike and Shanika are so close in age. Actually I'd rather not think about it at all right now.  I have a beautiful lady to tuck in bed and some cleaning up to do.

Happy Birthday, Yusun! Congrats on the engagement and successful party! It's nice to see Mike's boys making it out to the house every now and again.

Yay! I loved their engagement pictures. I'm excited it looks like you have the Steel house all set up for Generations to come out today.  :D  I am especially looking forward to the next generation because of it.

Well with Generations having come out, I have a lot to work on in terms of getting people where they are supposed to be.  Fully under my control, there are new interactions and everything else to work out. 

Also, as soon as I get them all out of the house, I am most likely going to be completely rebuilding their house.  It hurts me to do it but I need to see if adding a second floor will make the game easier to play.  It's too bad because I love their house too.  :-\

Since it will probably take days to actually build the house, I just wanted to warn everyone it might be end of the weekend or middle of next week before we find out what school the Steels went to.  There isn't a boarding school of gaming so I have no clue!
