Shaoran has a lot of fun playing with Randolph with the dollhouse.

It´s actually kind of sad, that only childish sims can do that.

Shaoran really loves his little… very distant relative.

Gabby: Whyyyyy do I feel so bad?

It´s a secret. But you will know soon.

Gabby: You´re mean. ´scuse me, gotta barf.

Gabby: Oh, this is why!

Pauline visits Jovan and spends the night.

And Star is still alive.

Randolph: This OK? It´s a ghostie.

He won´t drop you.

Randolph: Really?

Promise.

Randolph: OK, then.

Randolph: Wheeeeeeeee! I´m flying!

Star: Hello, dear!

Randolph: Again!

He is the first toddler who ever was picked up by a ghost.

Child-gnome grew up to a grumpy teenager!

Uhm, Miles, I think you are doing it wrong.

Miles: What? I repaired it, didn´t I?

See all this ghosts out at daytime? I ended up reseting them one by one.

Gabby is a very happy pregnant sim.

The kitchen counter seems to be hungry today.

And Gabby is also the most stylish pregnant sim I ever had.

I alway let them choose their preggo clothes themselves, because I think, it´s funny.

I love her!

The party is for this little boy.

This toddler suit is adorable.

The moment I click on the cake, Gabby goes into labour.

So I sit and hold my breath, while my game tries to handle two major events at the same time.

I didn´t dare to move the camera so there´s no shot of Randolph growing up. He did so very well, I think. He rolled computer whizz.

I also missed the shot of little Catherine being born, which is a shame.

Because she´s not only a vampire, brave and loves the heat…

… she´s also GREEN! A nearly fluorescent neon-green.

*Glares at parents*

*Drags Miles into CAS*

Turns out, Miles skintone is on the blue scale. Combined with Gabby´s tone and the vampire glow she´s… well, neon-green.

Pauline: She´s adorable, that´s what she is!

Yeah, okay, that as well.

Oh, hey, Fiona, feeling sick?

Fiona: Yeah, must´ve been something I ate.

Fiona: Oh, no, actually I´m totally knocked up. How nice!

Congratulations.

I don´t care much for military men, but Miles looks pretty snazzy in his uniform.

Gabby has an open vendetta with the science machine and sabotages it every opportunity she gets. Then she wishes to repair it. Sigh.

Oh, hi Steven!

I staged this, but isn´t it totally cute??

It´s Miles adult birthday.

And the ghosts are out at daytime. Yay.

I didn´t take a picture, but he pretty much looks the same. Midlife-crisis, though.

This good boy doesn´t have one.

But this is what he does, when I send him to the gym.

Something wrong, Fi?

Fiona: This is very annoying!

And here we have little Randolph. He rolls heavy sleeper and insane. Actually, he´s my first insane sim! How exciting!

He´s also a witch.

Miles wishes for a makeover. I thought, it would be cool if Kym would do it, but he´s already retired.

But this guy also does a good job.

I don´t know, if this is cute or terrifying.

I have gnome spawn! Never happened before, even if there are tons of gnomes creeping around.

Pauline and Steven still jam together.

Fiona beats up Miles. Those two really love to hate each other.

Little Randolph has his first birthday!

Uhm, yes. That´s Teagan´s hair and… Eddy´s eyes? Perhaps?

His face is… interesting. Like his mom´s was.

Randolph: She dozzn´ like me!

Jaron: There, there! You´re a beautiful little boy!

Randolph: Zis man is nize!

He is! And I do like you!

Randolph: Uncle Jawon, zere are loz of ghosties!

Yeah. The ghosts are getting a bit annoying.

Rowan´s elderly wife dies, while he is at the party.

Rowan: My heart is broken! Lovely party, though!

I made Eddy put his son into bed. This guy doesn´t do anything with him.

Oh, and Fiona als has a birthday.

Nice eyeroll, dear.

Oh, come on, I didn´t mean it like that. Show your pretty face!

Fiona: No. You can look at my tatoo that I got ages ago.

Pauline gets kidnapped again. The aliens sure like her.

Pauline: But I don´t like THEM!

Joe and Nathan! Hi there!

Kym visites for one reason or other and Gabby tries her vampire hypnotism on him.

He then flirts with her, which Miles totally gets the wrong way.

Gabby: It´s not my fault! I didn´t even accept his flirt!

Miles: I´m not sure about that.

Oh, he wished for facial hair. I think, it suits him.

They made up and I let them try the sauna, because I wanted to test the try for boy/girl option.

AND IT TOTALLY DIDN´T WORK!

It was such a pain to even make them sit at the same time to start the interaction, because the kept jumping up to do random stuff. Also, it was daytime, so Gabby started to sizzle.

And she didn´t even get pregnant! I tried six times in total, and it just didn´t work.

They had shower wohoo the next day and there were chimes.

Otherwise the sauna works just fine. Hmph.

Everyone loves the sleeping bag.

Jaron is still pretty flexible in his old age. Although I´m a bit confused, that my fairies are actually skating and not just flying round the rink.

Pauline meets Rowan Orange at the festival and decides to watch the stars with him.

Rowan is a berry fairy from one of my other saves, whom I plopped in town long ago as a potential spouse for Kisa. They didn´t get along and he kinda hovers at the back of most of the relationship panels since then. He also refuses to produce offspring, by always marrying old women. As a matter of fact, he has a wife at the moment.

And Pauline has Javon.

Who just reaches his lifetimewish of golden tongue, golden fingers in some tiny bathroom.

I clicked on Miles stressed moodlet. I guess, he still carries a torch for Shaoran. In any case, he wants some risky shower-wohoo.

Miles: Hey, how about some fun in the shower?

Shaoran: Uuhh…. you know, I have a girlfriend? And what about that nice vampire girl you met at university?

Star: *totally ignores the not-quite-incest in front of her.*

Anyway, I cancelled the action.

Miles: Rude!

Go play some videogames or something.

Steven argues with the rooster.

It´s snowflake day! And look, Teagan is glowing, meaning she reached her lifetime wish of being empress of evil, all on her own. You go, Teagan!

Teagan: Well, I would go, but that cat is in my way!

Kisa and Liang only come for the comfy beds.

 

Don´t you like your present, Teagan?

Teagan: As if I need a chess table!

And here´s Rowan again.

And Jaron!

And Kym!

This girl is cute. Too bad, I have no children her age right now.

And after the last guest leaves, Steven decides to go as well.

 

While Shaoran has is birthday in the next room. Forgot about that one.

Eddy: This is like, totally uncool!

Steven changes his mind (probably wants to celebrate Shaoran´s birthday), so Grimmy has to use some force.

And Shaoran reaches middle age.

Shaoran: Wow. Are those wrinkles?

Grimmy decides to join the party.

Grimmy: FELICITATION!

Shaoran: Dude, really? Someone just died.

Grimy: MY BAD. DOES IT HELP IF I CLEAN THE DISHES?

Shaoran: NO!

Grimy: GOOD THING, I´M MY OWN BOSS. KINDA MESSED THIS ONE UP.

So, Star is the last one of the old gang.

Look, who´s here! (Well, she kinda already photobombed Steven´s passing). Moving Gabby Ahmed in gave me a bit of a headache. She left, right after she arrived and I couldn´t invite her back , because the game insisted, she was still there. So I quit without saving and kidnapped her the moment she set foot on the lot.

Anyway. Gabby Ahmed is a natural cook, absent-minded, has a green thumb, is a technophob and family oriented. Her LTW is the culinary librarian. A absent-minded vampire, that should be fun…

She´s also adorable and totally smitten with Miles.

 

And hungry.

 

I like vampires. As long as they don´t insist on staying in the sun all the time.

Pauline tries to comfort Star.

Miles is angry.

And this made me laugh out loud.

Last time Joe died and everyone is sad.

He was friends with nearly everyone.

 

But we have to think of the next generation, so Fiona invited Eddy Mullis from university. I really tried working with the game mechanics, and everything went fine, until Fiona asked him to move in. He totally agreed and then Fiona threw a script error and we were back to step one. So I added him with mastercontroler. I don´t think, I would be playing this game anymore, if not for those modders.

So, Eddy is a loner, a virtuoso, a perfectionist, artistic and a vegetarian. His lifetime wish is Hit Movie Composer. Time to get a job.

Shaoran meets his mum at the library and has a sparring match.

I think, Kiso goes easy on him.

She still wins.

Miles is there as well. I don´t know, why he´s wearing his pyjamas. He´s not insane.

Miles: It´s comfy.

It´s winter and you are not wearing shoes. Just saying.

Oh, hi, Joe! You look really good there.

Joe: Why, thank you!

Miles thinks a lot about vampires lately. We will invite her soon…ish.

Shaoran doesn´t have a work related LTW, and he wished to become an author. So he´s now a self-employed author and starts his first book.

Kym became old as well. He´s a sweet old man.

Pauline has still a high relationship with him.

So she can take a dna-sample. I don´t think, I will do anything with it, but the option was there, so…

Shaoran manages to get frozen outside. Star has to warm him up.

He´s still blue. What were you thinking, young man??

Shaoran: Uhm…

The aliens kidnap Pauline.

Makes for a cool picture, though.

Pauline: I really don´t like her!

Understandable.

Pauline: Dad! The aliens did THINGS to me!

Steven: There, there! It happens to most of us.

Being a sim must be really weird sometimes.

And we are back at university. Miles and Fiona continue studying technology and business, Shaoran starts his second degree, science and medicine. And Jovan trails along to study some fine arts.

Also, it would be nice, if Miles were to find his significant other at university, so he tests his irresistable trait. She isn´t interested, though.

Shaoran on the other hand is thinking of his girlfriend, which is cute.

How about a fairy? No?

Miles prefers to use the megaphone, that somehow appeared in his inventory and rant about something.

Fellow student: Dude, can you shut up? I´m dead on my feet here!

Shaoran and Fiona both wanted to go bowling, so here we are!

Yeah, really good idea. This whole generation is clumsy.

But I found someone. Miles, come here, quick!

Miles: What? I was working out! This athletic skill won´t grow on his own!

Talk to this nice young woman, please.

Her name is Gabby Ahmed and she´s a vampire in my game. They danced until they were friends, then she had to leave in a hurry. But we´ll see her again, I think.

And it´s graduation day!

Everyone got their degree!

Not everyone chose the right attire, though.

Two down, one to go! But it may take a while.

And we are back! Where people play baseball in the snow in their swimwear. Home, sweet home.

Joe and Star are stir-crazy, so they visit the park. And awwww… There´s Jaron, all old!

Have a winter jacket, dear! It´s cold.

Amber is there as well.

Joe dies the moment he comes home.

Joe: This is kind of awkward. Where is he?

Stuck at the door, I think.

Ah, found a way. Stupid routing.

And Joe´s so ready to go. It seems longer, with university and all, but he outlived his husband for about 10 sim-days, and never really recovered from his death. That was a sad bundle of pixles moping around.

Grimmy hangs around for a while to diss some gnomes. They are indeed numerous and creepy.

After chatting with Pauline, he leaves.

I honestly couldn´t find a picture of Joe alone. It´s just as well, I think.

Goodbye, friendly Joe with the brightest eyes I´ve ever seen on a sim.

We are back from university! Shaoran visits his grandparents.

Shaoran: Did I interrupt something?

Amber: Kids these days!

They then have a sparring match. Shaoran loses.

I bought this hair with the hat just for Fiona. You look fabulous, dear!

Fiona: I do!

It´s Pauline´s elder birthday. Time flies.

 

 

Pauline: Eh, I´m all wrinkly!

Your boyfriend doesn´t seem to mind.

Pauline and her boys secure some cake and the couch while the others route-fail.

Pauline: Good thing, we were quick, huh?

Jovan and Miles: Jep!

Shaoran catches himself a girlfriend.

Macella Gallgher-Sackholme-Mithrilen is a perfectionist, a loser, excitable, eccentric and athletic. She managed to get involved with a Landgraab while we were at university, but is happy to let him go. She also has a teenage son, who was imported with her from Dragon Valley. His father seems to be lost in the void.

She won´t move in for now (gotta raise that son), but they can have some fun.

Oh. Yes, I miss him, too.

Jovan was due to age up that day, so Pauline asked him to stay the night. When I checked him out before make-over, I discovered that he was homeless at the moment. Can´t imagine, why, but we have a free spot at the house…

We have a lot of gnomes. And look! It´s a graduation gnome!

Fiona and Shaoran go to a costume party at Liang and Kisa´s house. They meet Teagan.

Like mother, like daughter, or something.

I don´t know, why they are living in this dump. I surely didn´t put them there. And why all these dragons?

Pauline rolled a wish to retire.

OK, why not?

Impromptu party!

Fiona uses the opportunity to brain Joe with her sign. I saw that, young lady!

Fiona: And again!

Stop it!

Nathan is out this night and I nudged Joe a bit.

 

 

 

And a cute shot of Miles and Susan, before we are off, to study some more.

Pauline isn´t tired, so she tries the science machine.

It´s pretty cool.

It´s the elusive professor Wade Anthony. He doesn´t like to be photographed.

Shaoran meets Che Justice in his class.

Why the long face, sweetie?

Shaoran: Studying is hard!

Well, chin up, you need three degrees for your LTW.

Shaoran: Meh.

Pauline is having fun. I sent her to have the very expensive spa-treating (the one for 7500,-), and now the relaxed moodlet prevents her from getting stressed. Gonna do that for all of them next time.

Personally, I wouldn´t trust that machine.

Shaoran draws, while his classmates are chatting in the bushes.

Shaoran: It´s a kitten!

… I`M VERY PROUD OF YOU, KEEP GOING!

Fiona´s presentation seems a bit manic.

Do you hate studying as well, Miles?

Miles: No, but I can´t concentrate with that snoring behind me!

Pauline scans a pomgranate.

Pauline: This is making no sense whatsoever!

Uhm… I´m sorry?

There´s a swimming pool with a barista bar right next to the dorm. Fiona tests the food.

Then she meets Eddy Mullis in the gym. We like.

I then let her alone for a minute.

OK, we have no time for this.

This is better.

And this is supposed to be a dip kiss. Something went wrong.

Guy-in-undies: Mh-mh, very interesting technique.

Fiona: So, we just met, but wanna be my boyfriend?

Eddy: Of course!

Guy-in-undies: I don´t approve.

Guy-in-undies: Microscope! The best thing ever!

They then watch the stars.

Pauline is pulling the lever of doom!

I thought my monitor was broken.

Pauline?

Uhm… Pauline?

Pauline: Bzzzzzzt!

Ah. Hive mind. Do go on.

She has a very productive afternoon.

I gave Shaoran a play chest to help with the stress.

Fiona prefers to play pool. Or not.

And Miles reads.

It´s Liz Tarry. Do you want to meet a nice sim named Miles?

Liz: No time. Busy.

And I never saw her again.

The employees at the comic shop are slacking a bit.

Fiona was playing with Minty when I called her home. Apparantly, dragons and brooms don´t mix.

This doesn´t look much better.

It´s graduation day! Pauline gets her major in science and the additional trait handy.

Fiona gets good grades, but has to do another term.

Shaoran gets his major in arts and the additional trait artistic.

And Miles gets also good grades and has to do a second term, like Fiona.

Pauline: That was fun, huh?

Miles: Yes, but we didn´t see a single plant-sim.

There is one! On the last day, when no one can interact with her. Sigh.

Pauline: HAH!

Shaoran: I have to do two more…

Oh, but you love university!

(He does. And for a childish sim, he really has a lot of discipline, always learning on his own. I, on the other hand do not love university. It´s boring as hell. The things I do for my sims…)

The house is still in a tizzy about Nathan´s death.

*sniffle*

I saw Joe taking a lot of selfies and began pulling out photos out of people´s cameras and inventories. I think, they are neat!

Pauline is now a mad scientist and can do experiments.

It gives that pouf some kind of nice moodlet. Well, it gives the sim, that sits on it the moodlet. I think. Perhaps the pouf is now a very happy pouf all the time.

Miles has a fight with the rooster.

He wins for a change! He loses most of his fights.

Miles: And stay inside!

Don´t harass the poultry, please.

Shaoran has a deluxe foot massage.

And promptly falls asleep.

I missed having a witch in the house, so…

… Fiona is our new one. It´s cute, that she chose this spot for tranformation.

Fiona: This is cool…

Poisoned apple. She´ll be a menace!

Fiona: Oh, yes!

Poor Joe gets a bit loopy with grieve and old age. He inherited Paul´s walking stick with Nathan´s inventory, and now often just stands around and „rants at world“ or something.

Oh, hi Nathan! I missed you!

Sadly, they don´t interact on their own.

Fiona wished for a tatoo. She is much more relaxed than Violetta was.

And I did not take a picture. It´s on her lower back, so it will take a while until it is revealed.

In the meantime we´ll go to university!

I chose a dorm. More fun with uncontrollable sims running around.

Everyone heartfarted everyone. Even my guys each other. Sigh.

Group conversation.

Miles says something stupid. His mom is embarassed.

The family gathers at the tv. I think it´s cute.

Shaoran, who needs three diplomas for his LTW, starts with fine art. Fiona with business, because she wants to become the empress of evil, and Miles with technology, so he can become an astronaut. Pauline studies science and medicine. She´s already done with her LTW and near elder stage, I wanted to do some more with her.

So, let´s study hard!

Pauline does the test for university. Of course, she gets a full scholarship.

These three have to study a bit more. I don´t want to spend ages at university.

Liang and Kisa still seem to be very much in love. I plopped the whole extended family in a big house just across the street. Kym does a pool party, so Fiona, Nathan and Joe go, to check things out.

There even IS a pool!

But this is not a good way to celebrate a party.

Joe comes running. Weirdly enough, no one else does. Except our cat Susan, who isn´t even supposed to be there.

Nathan: I´m see-through! How extraordinaire!

 

 

 

He goes with dignity. Of course he does!

 

Joe is heartbroken. Poor guy.

 

Steven is angry.

And sad.

Everyone is sad.

Especially at the sink.

Fiona: Grampa always used to check it! How can we be sure now, the water isn´t running??

Uhm…

Joe now has to sleep alone.

Goodbye, Nathan. You are an awesome sim!

We start with the first autonomous repair I ever witnessed in the Sims. He´s not even handy! Well, it was the first and only time. But remarkable nonetheless.

Shaoran meets the love of his life in the bathroom, as is fitting in the Sims. Her name is Macella Gallgher-Sackholme, she is one of the sims I brought over from Dragon Valley. Her parents are named Gallgher-Mithrilen, so Aine Mithrillen´s genes have to be somewhere in this woman. She´s also SINGLE! Before Shaoran can change that, she runs off, but we will see her again.

Graduation for Fiona.

Fiona, Shaoran and Miles go to the library to do some skilling before enrolling to university. Kym and Teagan are there.

I patched the family tree with MC, so the game recognizes them as Fiona´s parents, but they are only „acquaintances“ yet. Fiona is no charmer – left on her own she repells people very quickly.

So we cheat with some handy elixier.

BAM! Instant friend!

Uhm, where´s Teagan?

Oh, with Miles, who accuses her of cheating.

Well, I wanted him to ask her to just be friends, but this works, too. Just walk away and nurse your broken heart…

He turns back and slaps her! Bad Miles!

(That is one interaction I really do not like. Especially if a male sim slaps a female.)

Luckily, Teagan isn´t someone, who just swallows that.

Teagan: Youuuuuuu…

Miles: What!?

Shaoran: Hey guys! Just coming through! Nice hat, Teagan!

Teagan: I´m gonna smash you!

Miles: *Gasp*

Smashing him she does!

Teagan: This will teach you!

I hope it will!

Snow Cones in Lunar Lakes are as good as in Dragon Valley and Lucky Palms.

I bought some of the magical items at the store.

 

The animations are pretty cool, but Fiona threw a script error every time she tried to use a spell. ´tis a pity, that.

Nathan transforms some more fish.

Nathan: I would rather play some computer.

After this four fishies, OK?

Nathan: Well, then.

Mostly butterflies. I was hoping for another death fish. Ah, well.

The three „heirs“ in a row.

Fiona: I want to marry some day.

Miles: It´s more likely that you get hit by a falling star!

Shaoran: Guys…

No love lost between Fiona and Miles. But they both like Shaoran.
