Amber goes to a pool-party. Of course, there´s neither pool, nor hot-tub, but she finds another dragon egg.

We now have a black dragon. His name is Dan.

Steven continues to study alchemy.

 

He´s having fun.

He didn´t make this one, though, he bought it at the shop.

Jaron: Should it do this?

Uhm… I guess?

Jaron: Neat!

Yeah! Just let me…

There you go! Do you like it?

Jaron: Yes!

Me too.

Testing out the new possibilities.

Short break to pet the feline glitch guest. (She just didn´t go home, even though she had one. I reset her, when she started scratching the furniture.)

Projecting the aura of creativity.

Jaron, I don´t know, what you are thinking, but stop it!

Jaron: OK, so I just get naked again.

Amber likes the view.

So does Joe. And the zebra.

After they wohooed (is that even a word?) in every possible location, I thought it was time to make this relationship official.

 

Suddenly everyone was thinking of children.

 

Even Amber.

Who suddenly feels quite sick.

Sadly, this means for Jaron to leave – I don´t have the portrait-panel mod (yet), and don´t want to overstuff the house.

Goodbye, Jaron! See you around!

Nathan had his first good show.

I often send the family to the shows.

Nathan manages to let his mom, as well as his husband, vanish and reappear.

 

Joe seems to be particulary happy about that.

The audience had a lot of fun watching. As did I.

I have to change one of their outfits. Oops.

And! I discovered, that you can change the music playing at the gig. And the 2. music is from SimCity 3000! That made me ridiculously happy.

We got this little guy.

Uhm. Yeah. Skinny dipping with your daughter and the man who tried to get in your pants since he reached adulthood. And who now dates said daughter. Really, Vi?

She seems to be really happy for Amber, though.

Everyone loves Minty.

Steven rolled the wish to work in the education career, so he now works here. I totally would want to do that, too. Hell, I would scrub the toilets in this place, just to be able to be there. It´s gorgous.

Jaron isn´t the only one with cool probs. Nathan got some, too.

Nathan: Uhm… is this safe?

You´ve got a deathflower. Everything will be fine.

Nathan: Tadaa!

I added some things to the pub and let Amber have some fun.

 

No one else showed up. It was a bit sad.

She still had a blast.

I cheated the sim fu items into the gym.

Although we will travel to china some day. I love shang simla!

Paul wants to catch a death fish. So far, he only got some vampire fish, but that´s fine.

Sim-parenting at his finest.

Guys. It´s after midnight. You´re at a graveyard. There´s a ghost hanging around. Don´t you think, you should take your children home? They seem to be tired.

(Jaron is there to befriend some ghosts. It didn´t happen.)

The groom wakes up grumpy on his wedding day.

Steven: This chair. It´s hideous.

It looks like all the others. Granted, it´s a cheap one, but…

Steven: I don´t like it.

Well, you have to deal with it. No one will probably sit on it, anyway.

The bride jams with her future mother-in-law.

Steven thinks, this is actually a good idea and joins in.

Yay, wedding arch.

The guests are actually sitting down to watch the ceremony. I think, Nathan took the offensive chair.

Nathan: Whut?

Never mind.

 

Why is my timing never right? It got dark again.

Steven: Cake!

Yes, dear. Will you cut it, please?

He does. The guests eat it. Successful wedding party!

(Just ignore the guy in speedos. He found the hot tub.)

Nessie Lochlan (HAH!) got stuck clapping. But she thought, it was a great party.

These are the gifts. I sold everything apart from the drawing table and the fountain. I love the fountain.

I kinda wish, the „get frisky“ interaction wouldn´t be restricted to newlyweds. It´s so cute!

 

The groom is definitely not grumpy anymore!

Jaron found a dragon egg in the graveyard.

*Poooof*

It´s a green one! I named her Minty.

Apparantely, little dragons love fish!

Energized, she makes herself usefull by harvesting the garden.

Jaron spends every uncontrolled moment at the mirrow.

Jaron: There are wrinkles, right? I´m OLD!

You still look fine, sweetie.

Violetta hijacked Minty.

Violetta: When is their wedding?

Soon…ish. Stop nagging.

Violetta: I like weddings.

I don´t. Not in the sims, that is.

Amber came home from work with the stressed moodlet. I clicked on it, and she decided on „try for baby“ with Jaron.

*cancels action*

Amber: *pout*

One, he´s a tiny bit old for you. Two, you haven´t even kissed yet. Three, you don´t like kids!

Amber: *pout*

He changed your nappies!

Amber: *pout*

Sigh. Fine, go flirt with him.

Things got a bit out of hand.

But nobody was complaining.

Well, why not?

It´s a double gig!

Because Steven has already fullfilled his lifetime wish, and hasn´t rolled any job related wishes, I occupy his time by dabbing in alchemy.

 

Violetta has a new friend.

And Amber and Jaron a new hobby.

(That´s Nathan and Joe´s bed, by the way).

So we reluctantly left Lucky Palms and moved to Dragon Valley!

The barn got a makeover to fit better into the surroundings.

We even have our own stone circle!

Nathan and Jaron go to the park to check out the people of the town. Very nice genetics.

And clothes.

Violetta trys archery.

She misses.

Violetta: Booooooo! This stinks!

You tried like, once.

Violetta: I don´t like this game.

This world is pretty.

So pretty, that after visiting the school lot, I spontaniously trashed my plan of a double wedding, and sent Nathan and Joe to have a nice private wedding at this beautiful place.

It just got kinda dark.

 

 

 

I also sent Violetta and Paul.

Violetta! Will you stop that!

Violetta: I´m just providing some nice music!

You are playing for tips!

Violetta: Well, weddings are not cheap, you know!

 

 

 

Well, those two are happy.

Then the camera zoomed home, because Jaron had his adult birthday.

Sigh. I´m so good at planning. Not.

Jaron: I´m still looking hot, right? Right??

Midlife crisis. Yay.

As a mad scientist Paul can experiment on things.

It worked, but because there are no babies or toddlers at the moment, I don´t know what changed. The cot pulsates now, though.

Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

Steven: So… you and my brother, huh?

Joe: Jupp.

Steven: Cool.

Steven and Joe actually still have a decent relationship. Star and Amber´s friendship fizzled out when they grew up.

Joe wanted to join the medical career. His LTW as Renaissance sim is not career based, so he can do that. A reason to build logic.

Pretty.

Violetta wanted igloo-wohoo. I can´t imagine, why.

Amber dancing alone…

And the three couples dancing at spring festival. Time to get romantic.

 

First Nathan and Joe…

 

 

 

 

… then Steven and Star.

 

 

 

Violetta: I LOVE THIS! IT´S SO ROMANTIC!

Paul: Yes, dear.

Violetta: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

I wanted this settled, before I saved the family to the library and moved them to a new town, because despite my best efforts, this game file became nearly impossible to play. The loading time got ridiculous, the lag and freezing really annoying. On one memorable sim day, everyone was in the red, because of the constant lag, every action took ages. Overwatch deleted 60.000 (!) cars that night.

So, we´re moving!

Nathan has his first show at the bistro, in the dark, at fullmoon.

The audience is not impressed.

He got a pretty bad moodlet, so I let him cuddle with Joe.

 

It´s snowflake day!

We throw a gift-giving party and invite Joe´s romantic interest from prom, Cara Rangel. This looks promising, but they don´t get along at all.

So Joe breaks up with her. She doesn´t take it very well.

Not well at all.

The constant bawling drives Violetta to drink.

Violetta: Was it really necessary to do this on snowflake day?

… I guess, you are right.

Party girl Amber is having fun.

The family dances to their own music long after the guests are gone.

Nathan: There is a mistletoe on the ceiling.

Joe: ... that means?

Nathan: That means, I´m going to kiss you.

Joe: Oh, okay.

(Don´t know what´s up with Nathan´s neck here.)

 

That went well.

So let´s have a proper first kiss.

And a little bit more kissing.

Let´s take this even further.

They seem to be happy.

(That „leap into arms“ was autonomous. I always take it as good sign for a relationship, if my sim couples continue to make out after wohoo.)

I added another room, so that Steven and Star can have their own bedroom.

From the outside. It still looks like a barn. Maybe it´s the roof?

On the way to Amber´s and Star´s graduation. This taxi contains the whole familiy.

See?

Violetta: Flies! There were flies in the trunk!

Those two are at it again. Always looking at each other.

Violetta and Paul got their revenge on Steven and Star for wohooing in their bed.

Steven: I just want to sleep! They are in the way!

This is the first time I see a proper mindmeld. It looks… weird.

And no, Violetta, your baby factory is closed.

I let Nathan flirt with Joe, which he liked.

Violetta also seems to support the idea.

Violetta: They are so cute!

Jaron reached the top of the acrobat career and fullfilled his lifetime wish.

I missed the shot of the points again.

The acrobat career is fun. Jaron mainly reached his goal by performing for tips, because I always forgot to get him a gig.

Did I ever mention his stage name? It´s Black Panther.

Nathan is Dusty Nathan.

I´m so good at names.

We have a Deathflower!

And someone with a green thumb!

Jaron flirts with everyone with a pulse. Even if he looks like that. (I think he exploded the chemistry table. Again.)

I forgot to pay the bills and this repo-woman came. She took the wohooium of all things!

Lady! Cowardly Violetta fought through the catabombs for this! Couldn´t you take the tv or something??

Repo-woman (mumbles): Just doing my job.

… we now have the no-bills LTR.

Amber starts her cooking career. This outfit doesn´t do much for her.

Got it! Lifetime wish complete!

Aaand the points for reaching level 10 of the guitar skill.

Well done, Violetta!

More birthdays!

Star rolled handy. She needs her hair back. Her lifetime wish is golden tongue, golden finger.

Amber rolled nightowl.

Her lifetime wish is celebrated five-star chef.

 

Now that they are both young adults, Steven and Star instantly jump each other. Paul seems to approve.

I don´t know if he approves of them using his and Violetta´s bed though. Then again, it´s sims…

The girls had no birthday party, and everyone wanted to celebrate spooky day, so…

Paul and Jaron have the same costume. Awkward.

 

 

Tammi got invited. She brought her husband, Christopher.

Yep, pretty, even if she´s currently stuck in the door.

It is a nice party.

It gets a bit more spooky than intended, when some of the guest turn into zombies, because of the full moon.

Sometimes I get the impression, most of the party guests just come to wohoo. But that´s okay, work on the pretty babies.

I saved them to the bin, just in case.

Nathan invites his romantic interest from his prom over. She´s nice enough, but they have absolutly no chemistry.

He breaks up with her, and she´s just like „meh“. Probably her evil trait.

NATHAN! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??

Nathan: Spooky house.

Oh. Yes. Of course. Whew.

So, these two are giving me a headache.

Joe, wohooer and master controler say you are straight. You got a female romantic interest at prom. What do you want?

Joe: I want to talk to Nathan, play a game with Nathan, and mindmeld with Nathan. But I´m not attracted to him.

Sigh.

Nathan, wohooer says you are gay. Master controler says you are bi. We just got rid of your female romantic interest. What do you want?

Nathan: I want to show Joe my magic wand.

A-ha! So you are… Oh, right, magician. Right, run along.

 

Nathan often blunders his magic tricks, but never when he shows them to Joe. True story.

Jaron has a regular show now.

The audience loves him.

I sent Steven to the library to read some cooking book. We encounter the fashion disaster paparazzi again.

This time I sort her out.

And this is Steven fullfilling his lifetime wish of culinary librarian.  I looked it up, this LTW is seriously bugged. He´s reading the volume 2 cooking book and is at skill level 5. There´s no way he could know „every recipe“.

Well, I take it.
