Coastal DecaDynasty - A Barnacle Bay Story - failed, mods please move

[Gogowars329]

Welcome Boston! I think I'm the only one who hasn't had their sculpting sim catch on fire.

[lvrugger]

Boston grew so quickly! I didn't take any screen shots during his infancy - nothing important happened. But, he did turn out to be a cute kid.



Three days before Boston aged up to child, his parents made some hearts in the shower. I wonder why?



Meanwhile, Aberdeen's sculpture garden keeps growing. First pic is the "great" sculptures, second has the "masterpiece" in front and "brilliant" in back:




Both Aberdeen and Lynda kept sculpting all the free time they had:



But with another nooboo, Lynda won't have that much free time. Please welcome Baltimore Coastal!



The day Baltimore was born, Aberdeen aged up to child. Ugh to the hair and the clothes. A quick trip to the mirror and dresser were made:





Boston is going to need some handiness for what I have in store for his future:



And the sculpture garden continues to grow (and my computer continues to get slower):



Baltimore aged up to toddler as the first Coastal to not have Josephine's hair color. Wow!



And, four days later, Aberdeen and Lynda are at it again... Actually, they both keep getting wishes to have a child. OK, why not. I like the kids. And they help the family get to know the younger girls in town...

[TheChronicR]

Aww, the kids are the cutest thing ever. Happy birthday everyone! Wow, a black haired Coastal!

Congrats on your first, uh, "immortal" as well? Lol. We got to come up with a new term. Anyways. Awesome updates there!

[lvrugger]

And I'm back from the dead! Work has been a drag and when I've had time to Sim I've been doing some challenges.

The Coastal Saga continues:

Lynda gets in on the fun parts of sculpting:



Boston ages up to teen with the same hair that he keeps getting. I can't stand looking at this on, so to the mirror we shall go:





For some reason, the maid keeps getting stuck in the bushes out front:


I've changed some of my plans, and now Boston is going to supermax nectaring. Here he is starting out:


Teaching a teen to drive in Generations is great if you have a Motive Mobile:


And Aberdeen gets to keep selling the extra sculptures at the consignment store. I've found a solution to the consignment bugs, so no problems even in the second generation.

[lvrugger]

Baltimore aged up to child with Jake's original haircut, but looking more like Josephine. Is it me, or does the game like to keep the same hairstyle for everyone?


Aberdeen's sculpture garden keeps growing. I'm glad he bought the No Bills LTR or they would be through the roof! I actually started selling off sculptures at this point as the lag on my computer got unbearable.


Baby number 3, Brighton, ages up to a cute kid, mixes of all his parents and grandparents:



Meanwhile, even at night, Boston keeps on working on his nectaring skill


Aberdeen and Lynda roll wants for kids AGAIN - but this time they went to the bedroom:



Baltimore ages up to teen. I wish I could see what the game rolled for outfits before I picked the trait, because I would have definitely picked rebellious for his teen trait:



His first day of school, Baltimore goes home with a friend who wears the same outfit!


And last part of the update: Brighton ages up to child as an odd mix of features. Jake's hair makes a blond comeback!

[lvrugger]

I let Aberdeen stop eating life fruit - he's been staying an adult while Boston grows up. Finally, I let him age up. He threw a fun party for his friends -


But he was still sculpting when the age-up time hit -



And on the same day - I guess using life fruit lets me pick the days to age up (except for the heir, that's why it was today) - so did Boston -


And he got the same hair that I hate so much until he made it to the mirror for a cut -



Boston also got to graduate at the top of his class -


Little toddler Bellingham - have I told you about Bellingham? - is a cutie pie -


Soon after, Brighton aged up to teen and Bellingham to child -



Baltimore graduated with honors, but I don't know how he got those spikes under the cap for the graduation -


He's always had a crush on the maid Gayle Metzger (I know Gayle, but I never wrote down her last name). He decided that he had to pursue her quickly -




After a quick trip home to start the marriage off with a nooboo on the way, Baltimore moves out -


Meanwhile, Boston keeps working on his nectar makers. Why is he upgrading them so much? And he keeps doing his work opportunities (he's a businessman like grandmother Josephine) -



Since Aberdeen and Lynda enjoy spending time together, why did he go to the science center and resurrect Adrian Fleet? -

[lvrugger]

Just a quick update -

Bellingham aged up to teen and Lynda threw a great party.



Of course, Boston took the time to meet some of the girls that Lynda invited.
Keisha Annan and Yadria Caliente are both teens. Brighton met them in elementary school, so they should be aging to YA soon. Which one does the watcher like better?

Keisha Annan has great green eyes - I think this is my first choice. I'll have to invite her over and try to determine her traits. Plus, Yadria is Boston's first cousin once removed. She is Lynda's half-sister's granddaughter. The game doesn't recognize relatives that far out, so no problem with the game mechanics, but it's a bit closely related for my tastes. But if I have no other choice come marrying time, she may have to be the one. The rest of the eligible girls I've found are all married or vampires or NPCs. These are my two choices so far unless I break up a happy home...


Oh, and Baltimore and Gayle had twins. Aberdeen keeps getting wishes to show off baby pictures.

[lvrugger]

Bellingham aged up to teen and seemed thrilled with it. I actually liked his look so I kept it.



Boston and Bellingham took a quick trip to France for opportunities. I didn't get any pics from the quick trip, but Boston abandoned Bellingham in the park, so Bell had to get some rest:


At least Boston has a great view at night when he's making nectar (over 650 bottles so far...)


And pregnant Lynda has the statues for beauty as she weeds the garden:


Athletically inclined Brighton is exercising when he ages up - no party or cake. He turns out to be quite the jock:




The next morning, Brighton is excited about his graduation, but Lynda wants to tell him about his new sibling, who will wear red sneakers:


But before they can go to graduation, Lynda goes into labor:



That same evening, Grim comes to visit for Aberdeen. Aberdeen's file says 94 days old, but his earliest memory is 126 days ago. He ate a lot of life fruit after Boston was born, so his age is screwy:


But at least Grim got to make a new friend in Lynda and Boston:

[lvrugger]

Brighton hits on Brandy Buffington, the repair woman. It turns out she has commitment issues so that goes nowhere fast:



And Boston ages up to adult. He only has to max his career and have one more NPC friend to be able to get married and move on:


At least he looks as unhappy about that hair style as I feel:


So, he gets new hair, and I never realized how blue his eyes are:


Later that night, Aberdeen's ghost pays a visit - way to go NPC number 10!


Why is it that youngest babies get the fewest photos? Meet Bristol Coastal - as she ages to toddler:



Spurned by Brandy, Brighton decides to visit France. Boston told him stories about the women there, and he thinks he'll find a nice, flirty girl to marry.
He meets Dommithilde Dutiel. She's a hottie. Unflirty, but I know how to get around that in France...



Brighton is a daredevil. When he did "watch this" with Dommithilde, he ran over and slapped the paparazzi. I've only ever seen them eat dirt so I had a good laugh:



They lovebirds got married in the nectary:



It turns out that Dommithilde's LTW is Bottomless Nectar Cellar. Coming home with Brighton, she fulfilled that immediately thanks to the nectar from Boston's basement. A quick change of traits and the LTR of fertility treatment for both of them.


Dommithilde is a hottie. Too bad she's French and can't be a DecaDynasty spouse:


That's OK, because Boston has been keeping tabs on Keisha. She turned young adult about the same time Boston turned adult. This is their first date:




Boston spends some time on the phone with her to keep her thinking of the wedding until he reaches that top of his career


And Lynda gets some advice from Josephine (whose grave was moved in to keep Aberdeen company) about the afterlife:



Boston reached the top of his career on Thursday. That Friday, the happy couple wed at home. And Boston had yet to figure out a single trait of Keisha's.

[lvrugger]

Now to close out Boston's chapter:
Boston cleared out his inventory of everything except his high school diploma. He figured his boss may want to see that one day. He knows he can keep some stuff, but why not start fresh:
His Valedictorian award and the award for most likely to electrocute himself along with prom stuff:


Some various metals he had scrounged from around town:


But the best stuff were the 10 sculptures made by Aberdeen. I even caught Boston mimicking them:


Boston won't get to see Bristol grow up, but maybe she'll go into business with him:


And Boston's new wife, Keisha Annan Coastal

Congratulations on moving out your 2nd generation! I love the idea of coastal cities for names.

Thanks, MarianT!

I'm back at the DecaDynasty now that I'm done with challenges. Updates in a minute...

[lvrugger]

Boston moved in with Keisha. Of course, he had to meet her family.
First was her mother, Kristie:


Then her sister Juana (teenager):


Who very quickly got a change of outfit:


And her youngest sister, Josie (child - named after famous townie Josephine Coastal, maybe?):


I like the hair the three sisters all have. I'm going to hope that either the hair or Keisha bright green eyes get passed on to the next heir.

After moving in, Boston takes Juana gardening at his grandparents' house:


While Keisha writes thank you notes (she blew herself up making potions):


Keisha also works on her LTW of Paranormal Profiteer (maybe stepping through a wall will help?):


But Boston and Keisha don't neglect their duties to the DecaDynasty:


Although I do tend to neglect the rest of the family - Josie aged up while fishing:


And she tuned out nicely -


But I did manage to get Kristie's LTW captured. Maybe I can get her high enough in LTH points to get a good gravestone...:


Keisha went into labor while making potions:


Please welcome baby Calais! Born 8 days after her parents' wedding.


Calais' birthday came quickly:


But so did something else:




RIP Kristie - age 91, with about 70,000 LTH points. Not quite enough to get the tombstone I wanted. Sorry, Boston, that means you get to die and all the young again potions in Keisha's inventory mean nothing for you. 

At least Calais is a cutie -

[lvrugger]

Calais' toddlerhood went by quickly.





Juana aged up to young adult and immediately called over her best friend from high school, Boston's brother Bellingham:


I couldn't move Bellingham in since he had lived in the last heir's house, so when they got married, Juana proposed and they took the Annan name. Juan moved in with Bellingham, Lynda and Bristol.

Josie brought home a guy from school. Not bad, we'll see if it takes off so I can marry her off and move her out.


Boston made his 1000th bottle of nectar. This was good for 17,000 LTH points. He's been racking them in.


Calais aged up to child with just family around. Cute kid - she got Keisha's eyes and hair. No more Josephine hair for the Coastals. I may work on her wardrobe later, but it's time to tutor her up to an A in school, first.




Thanks for reading - I know you're out there, I can see the number read goes up. Let me know if you want to see anything in particular.

[CreativeCrayola]

I'm reading! It's great, I wish you good luck for the rest of your decadynasty!
