The Halliwell Dynasty 5. Practice makes perfect!

[Esther1981]

Esther's words:
Sorry to double post. But I wanted to post the pics of the house, on a separate update.
Here is our kitchen. This pic was taken after Jon got the fridge, but before he got the food replicators. Another thing to note is the only time the kitchen will be used is for making Ambrosia. After all, all of our moods are maxed all the time so we don't need to eat!

This is mine and Laurel's room. The only thing this room is used for is to show off the pic haha. And of course, we do use the dresser and mirror on occasion.

This is our living room, which we never use lol.

This is Jon and Betty's rooms. Which they don't use. I figured instead of making a room for everyone, especially since they don't use them, I'd save space and just make one non-immortal bedroom.

This is the bathroom which is again, never used.

And last but not least is Pam's bedroom. Again, the only thing in here that is used is the dresser and mirror.

That's our house! And of course, it is 2 levels down in the basement.   I have some things in mind for after Laurel dies, but thankfully I don't have to even think about that for awhile.

Ester with the eternaly faithull, when the date is over send them immediatly on a second date it worked twice for me. Hope it wasn't just luck lol! The never used rooms look great hehe

[Sophie98]

Pam is a stunner!

[Esther1981]

Thanks loveSims and Sophie! I had never gotten that rep until last night. And it wasn't Wyatt and Laurel, but I now know it is possible to get it. Only thing, the couple last night got it when they had been together for 20 days, and I know Wyatt and Laurel have been together longer than that. But I didn't have them start going out around town til a little bit ago, so maybe they will get it when they have been together 20 days after going in public? I just hope she lives that long. If not, I'm sure Pam will get it. And yes, the rooms look great for never being used!  Yes she is! She's so beautiful!!

[Esther1981]

Penny also turned into a teenager!

I tutored Pam out in front of the gate. See Penny? She is talking to herself which I find amusing. Oh and the LTHP you see were caused by it being 5 am and me growing a perfect life fruit.

Here is what Penny looks like as a teenager. She's pretty!

I caught me a green will o the wisp. Yeah, the spawners are still on my yard even though I've supermaxed it. I'm wanting to keep 1 of every beetle and butterfly and when that's done I'll post a pic but right now it's far from being done. Even though I've supermaxed it, I haven't found 100% of them yet.

Laurel painted Pam's pic.

Pam did her homework.

At 5 that day, all the stuff I had taken in sold, making Pam level 8 in her career. First day she is level 8!! I am so proud of her, yet also a little sad. In all this time, I am level 8 in my career and I've been working my bottom off, but than I think so did she, it just feels unfair because she sold all her stuff in one day. I'm very proud of her though!

The top 3 paintings that sold, were Laurel's lol. I'm sure you knew that though right? When she had her birthday, I got a wish to teach her to drive, and she wished to learn to drive. So the Halliwell's bought their first car!! It's a Bwan Speedster. The first few minutes felt like eternity. I was so nervous. She would stop, go, speed up, slow down. She even did a few U-turn's which I'm positive were illegal. But, thankfully there wasn't a cop around. She finally got the hang of it though. I'm proud to announce my baby girl can now drive! Proud and sad. She's growing up so fast.

I am ecstatic to report, I completed my LTW. Things are coming along so well!!

I'm also happy to report I completed the opportunity to let me plant steak and roast! Here I am turning in the cheese!

Last one tonight is Pam's museum. It's coming along awesomely!

Enjoy!

[loveSims]

Congrats on fulfilling the lifetime wish! That one is not easy! Pam is a cute teen. It so funny when they learn to drive. The meuseum look great! When you turn the IF real she don't have the same hair colour or clothes. Hope that make sense lol my english is not very good.

[Esther1981]

Thanks loveSims! I actually should have gotten it earlier, but I kept forgetting to re-plant after they died lol. Yes she is and yeah it is. She did some rather illegal stuff on the road that night haha. Thank you! Oh ok, normally when I see them on the sidewalk then turn them real, they look the same! I think your English is very good!

I hit level 10 in logic! And I finally learned the last potion!

I also supermaxed gardening!! Such a proud moment!

I saw 2 of my gnomes are now elders. They were at the fence, welcoming another baby! It's name is nooboo 2.

Penny's favorite pass time it seems is talking to herself. Hilarious!!

Another one of my money trees dropped a seed. Which I planted! I'm hoping that I will soon get enough to max my career!

Pam does her homework like a good teen.

Here is a picture of Penny. Well, this is what she would look like if she was real!! She doesn't have anything special, not even her eyes!


Last pic of the night is Pam getting ready to go to prom.

Next time, Prom night!

[loveSims]

I can't remember, has Pam a boyfriend?

[Esther1981]

Nah, she's not into boys right now.  Or it could be that I'm not letting her be into boys until she ages up haha. Either way, she's single! 

[loveSims]

Ha better be carefull! In one of my games I sent an male teen alone to the prom and he get a boyfriend!

[Esther1981]

Yikes! That would be awful! Thankfully that didn't happen. Thanks for the heads up though! I was already thinking about having her skip the next one, for several reasons and that's just another one! She gets one prom, and skips the other one!! 

[Esther1981]

It doesn't take me long to get dressed at all. One click and I'm ready. Pam on the other hand, took close to an hour just to get ready for prom. First, her hair had to be perfect, then her dress and shoes had to match, then the makeup. Oh man, I think she's gonna sit the next one out. Anyways, finally she was ready.

She went by herself, and I asked why. She said she's just not into boys right now, she wants to focus on painting. That's all well and good, until she ages up, then either she will change her mind herself or her dad will do it for her haha. She got to ride in a white limo for prom!

Here she is walking into the school, for prom. She was so excited.

She has always been a good girl, so imagine my total surprise when she got into a fight with a classmate! Penny, her IF stayed home, but was real in her relationship panel.

She also thought there were aliens coming for her. I have to wonder about my daughters sanity right now lol.

After all that though, she was still voted prom queen! I'm happy for her and she's beyond excited over that!

After she got home, we noticed something odd with Penny. Normally when Pam is on the lot, she's an IF but tonight she was just a doll.


We got the notice that Laurel's mother was going to die today, so she called her over.


After she left, Laurel went back to painting, and a few hours later we got the notice that she did in fact die. RIP Yvette Grisby. Plus the next day her dad died, so RIP Walter Grisby as well. That's it for this time. Next time, does Penny ever become an IF again or does she remain a doll?

[loveSims]

Pam's prom dress is beautiful! I wonder what is up with the IF it never happen with me

[Esther1981]

The next day, everything was back to normal with Penny. Thank goodness. I really don't want to lose my grams all over again!!

Everyone else has had their birthday, so of course Betty did too. Happy adult birthday Betty!

She got a makeover too. New hair and clothes in her favorite color, pink. Here is her formal and sleepwear.


Then she went back to fishing. She wishes to get to level 10 of the fishing career! After she gets that done, she will start working on other things, like cooking and painting.

I'm also starting to wonder if one of the 2 traits of Penny we haven't figured out is insane. She talks to herself constantly, and does other weird things. Like trying to make hand puppets or something!!

I myself love going to the consignment store. I've actually supermaxed that one too! There is all kinds of fun and interesting people there. They all do the funniest things!

My gnome population is ever growing!

Pam also reached level 10 in her career! Still a teenager and already level 10. Way to go Pam!!

That's it this time. Enjoy!

Esther's words:
Thanks loveSims! Yes it was and it really did take close to an hour to get her dressed.  I don't know, I just know no one else with an IF is getting a prom. It was scary!! Also, in case you guys are wondering why I had been trying to catch up, now I'm not, I am almost caught up, and in-game she is 2 days away from being a YA and there is nothing she wants more for her birthday than a sweet furry cat.  Also I've been playing another file. But I can guarantee they will be caught up by the 18th. I can't guarantee how long they will stay caught up however haha. 

[Esther1981]

I know I just posted one, but I just got done playing them, I have 3 updates not posted, 3 days til Pets comes out and Pam has about an hour left of being a teenager. I will not be playing them again until after Pets is installed. I took every precaution I could, so hopefully the installation goes smoothly and there are no new bugs to deal with. Haha who am I kidding?? Let me rephrase that! Hopefully the bugs will be minor and I can still play. 


Sometimes I forget Penny is in Pam's inventory. So Penny stands infront of the fence. Which in itself isn't freaky, but when a paparazzi gets combined with her, it is freaky.

I keep finding teddy bears at the store. I think we are up to teddy 9 now. The one by the one just turned got turned a few minutes later.

Pam discovered another one of Penny's traits. So now I know she is a heavy-sleeper, eco-friendly and eccentric. Maybe that explains her weird behavior.

My money trees keep dropping seeds, which I keep planting.

Since it is named Laurel's park, I let her do the renovation for it. Here is the bathrooms.

The cooking area.

And the rest of it. It's fully upgraded now! She said since she won't be here to see the next few generations, she wanted to put everything there so her grandkids and great-grandkids could enjoy themselves.

Also, we decided to try out the hot tub. We had a lot of fun. Yes, we got accused of public woohoo, but a quick control+click took care of those nasty moodlets.


Last one for tonight, after we got home, we kissed again. We are so much in love, it's scary!
