Macella: Sooo… you are going to university again?

Shaoran: Jep.

Macella: Well, you´ll better have fun!

Shaoran: I will!

And off they go!

Shaoran thinks of Macella, while Macella thinks of Miles. Tsk, tsk.

 

That´s a lot of snow!

And we are greeted by a meterological unlikely rainbow. Still pretty.

First thing Randolph does, is light the fire and warm his butt.

University somehow plays havoc with people´s relationships.

Randolph: You know, I´ve never looked at you this way, but…

Cathy: Don´t you have a girlfriend at home?

They look good. Nice lighting.

Shaoran: So, let´s start!

Good boy! … wait… you are not studying art this time!

Shaoran: OK, this better?

Uhm, no, you already have that major.

Shaoran: Screw this, I´m playing videogames!

Hey!

Shaoran: Hehe!

… he´s studying physical education this time.

Cathy does communications.

I thought, they needed a baskedball court. And it was on sale.

Randolph texts Connie. Ain´t he cute?

He studies fine arts.

Although both he and Catherine won´t get diplomas – I just don´t have the nerve to do another week at university. I love all the stuff the pack gives you – the clothes, hair, objects, interactions – but I just think attending university with your sim is beyond boring.

I wait for the guys to finish their lessons when this young lady decides to destroy a snowman.

This woman is judging her. Harshly.

She watches her the whole time.

Shaoran decides it´s a good idea to relieve his stress by meditating in the deep snow.

Randolph crashes on a sofa at a party. The other students are making fun of him, but I think, they are just jealous.

And here we have Shaoran reaching his lifetime wish. I thought, it would happen after the ceromony, so I missed the shot.

I somehow have no picture of Catherine getting her letter.

 

Shaoran: So… I´m done?

You´re done! You can do whatever you want now.

Shaoran: I´ll think of something.

He´s so happy!

Shaoran: I decide… I want to play with the plush dragon!

You do you, Shaoran!

And we are home again!

Macella seems to be very happy to have him back!

I got a motive mobile with Shaoran´s happyness points. Wow, it´s ugly.

Motive mobile: Hey!

Watching the photos makes me nostalgic. And we even lost the oldest ones in the move.

Amber and Jaron are wohoohing in our bed. Must be a party.

WHO SET THE SINK ON FIRE??

Jovan: … um… me?

I think Jovan ate some chili and breathed fire after washing up his plate. We have cake, you know?!

I was a bit annoyed and just let them run around screaming, to see what would happen.

What happend was the COOLEST SIM EVAR!

Fiona: Out.Of.My.Way.

Fiona: No? Ok, just casting the spell through you then.

Doesn´t she look totally awesome?

She kills the fire with an ice blast.

Fiona: Maroons.

Right you are. At this point I begin sending the family AWAY, but they keep coming back!

The sink isn´t burning anymore, but now the pizza oven is on fire. And those sims are blocking the way.

Ok, finally someone finds a fire extinguisher.

Rowan is brave! I really would like to have him in this legacy, but the only remotly interested in him was Pauline, when she was already an elder.

And he keeps marrying elders, so no kids!

Jovan: THIS PARTY SUCKS!

Well, you suck!

At this point I got a bit nervous.

Fiona and Rowan manage to quench the flames. The fire fighter does nothing!

Jovan, you are still on fire!

Fiona doesn´t seem to care anymore, but Rowan saves the day!

Kym: I should have worn the other suit. Now this one reeks of smoke!

After that, most people leave, so they miss the cake!

Vampire birthday!

Catherine rolls angler. Her lifetime wish is news anchor.

Randolph: Should we have gotten you flowers? I mean, because the cake doesn´t do anything for you anymore…

Catherine: Still tastes good!

The sink and kitchen counter are a total loss, but the pizza oven is not damaged. And no one died.

Soon, Shaoran, OK? I want Randolph and Catherine to come with you to university.

Looking good!

Randolph really has a weird face.

I kind of want to put make-up on it. Maybe later.

Catherine shows her mum her vampire teeth.

Beverly´s only sign of evil so far is her obsession with the little drum.

It´s a baby gnome!

And an evil gnome. I totally freaks me out! *sells*

Shaoran and Miles friendship got a bit low, so I had them spent some time with each other.

Miles irresistable trait is kind of a bother, really. The poor guy is never alone! Sometimes he´s starving, exhausted and stinky and just can´t meet his needs, because everyone wants to interact with him! I have to sent him to our graveyard lot like this, to get a bit of peace.

Macella made a toy at the inventing table. Beverly loves it! It even moves its fins!

Randolph reminds me, that he´s a witch.

Some last time cuddling with the toddler…

… because it´s her birthday!

Small party. No idea, wh0´s that guy on the right.

Um… no. I´m all for forfeiting gender stereotypes and stuff, but this looks just bad. And it´s her formal wear, no less!

How about this?

Beverly: Meh.

Okay then.

She rolls frugal.

I gave her a baseball cap for her everyday outfit.

I love how the flame lights up the frosted window!

And hey, it´s Joe! And Violetta with Sybil! Good thing ghosts don´t get cold!

Another birthday. Randolph grows up!

He rolls green thumb. And you can´t see it very good in this picture, but he inherited all of his dad´s body hair! Which is a lot. It was black, but I changed it to his hair colour.

He does the test for university. Could be better, but he has a bit more time, until Cathy grows up.

Still a witch?

Nice!

We are saving lifetime points for the magic hands. His lifetime wish is magic healer, so they are a must, I say!

Don´t know what happened to Cathy. I guess it was the chemistry table.

Being the baby in the house, Beverly get´s a lot of love from everyone.

There was a prom. I didn´t expext Randolph to wear his formal, but what happened to yours, Cathy?

Catherine: … the limo was late. So we went here by bike.

And?

Catherine: Actually, I don´t want to talk about it.

OK.

I think there went something wrong because Randolph asked Connie to go with him to prom. She arrived at the house, but there was no limo, so I sent them on their own, and they didn´t change their clothes. Connie stayed at the house, but had a fabulous time at the prom with Randolph nontheless.

Catherine: I didn´t! I fell flat on my face! Perhaps if I also stayed at home, I would have become prom queen!

Sorry, dear.

Macella starts to work on her LTW. There´s an accident.

Macella: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I´m on fire!

I waited to see, if she would run to the shower herself. She didn´t.

So I made her. Stupid sims.

Randolph: That´s a magnificent picture.

Uhm… you don´t notice anything weird?

Macella: *sizzle*

Randolph: No, why?

No reason. Stupid question, really.

Macella repeatable sets herself on fire. At this rate, she´ll never reach her LTW.

Shaoran draws Miles.

Shaoran: Your hair looks a bit like a brush…

Miles: Huh?

Shaoran: Now both arms in the air please…

Shaoran: OK, perhaps I should have used the easel…

Miles: Are you kidding me??

Shaoran: Perhaps…

Miles: Are we finished yet??

Shaoran: A good picture takes time, I mean, think of the Mona Lisa…

Shaoran: Well?

Miles: … This looks nothing like me, but I like it!

This kind of turns into a berry-legacy, but that´s OK.

Someone suggested Shaoran should have a bachelor party. The groom is thrilled.

And I don´t really know what happend to Jaron.

I kind of treated this like every other party and just invited a bunch of people.

Including this lovebirds.

Macella: They are blocking the bed! I want to wohoo with my fiancé!

Amber: Dear, you look ridiculous!

Jaron: This better?

Amber: Much better, handsome!

Macella: Want to find another bed?

Shaoran: Uhhh… this is so embarassing!

The other guests meet at the bar.

Randolph: Hehehe, juice!

Gabby: Urgh, Fiona!

Fiona: …her outfit kind of resembles mine…

Gabby: Uhh…

Gabby: Who are all these people?

Just some random guests and family, chatting with the strippers dancers, or themselves, ominous puddles and clothing on the floor, underage drinking, and… Oh, f***, can somone put the toddler to bed??

Fiona: So, how do you stay so slim? Lots of vegetables?

Carly tries mixing.

Jaron: Let me!

Carly: I´ve got this!

Jaron: No, you don´t! What are you doing??

Carly: Phew, he´s gone! Better look this one up on the cooking chanel!

Uhm, I don´t think you can learn mixology that way.

Carly: You can´t??

I like her.

Nothing really interesting happened after this, and/or I took no more photos. One or the other.

I think we have a serious case of tctbe here.

This one was a total riddle for me – he just sat down to do his homework, and when I looked again after two seconds, he had fried himself. I just couldn´t figure out what had happend, until blamsart mentioned it in her blog here

It happens when a witch does her/his homework with magic! Who would have thought?

It´s Catherine´s birthday already!

 

You do love your hats. But it´s still pretty warm outside.

Catherine: Dolly seems to be cold!

He´s insane! And don´t call him that!

Now eat your cake!

Catherine: Mph.

Amber chooses this moment to die. Well, she´s way beyond 200 now, I guess it´s time.

At least I don´t have to make a trip to the graveyard to collect her tombstone…

Oh, and the creepy Llama is there.

Amber: This party sucks.

Hey, not our fault! But I guess, I can relate.

Amber: But look, what I´ve got here!

Everyone: Someone´s at the door!

… yeah. I gave her that flower when she moved out.

Macella and Abby: This is so sad! But door!

Grim: …

Amber: So, you gonna take that?

Grim: … I GUESS. CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THE DOOR?

Amber: Party sucks.

Everyone: DOOOOOOR!

!@*% Llama!

And there she is again!

She forgets, she´s alive for a moment.

Jovan: Why does no one answer the door??

Jaron: Seriously, dude, don´t you have other problems?? I thought I lost my wife here!

Everyone seems to be a bit confused after this. Oh. Makeover for the woman on the left.

Much better. That´s Carly Benton. She looks like she runs a lot.

Those two are the cutest.

They left the party, but then stayed outside for hours, making out and watching the stars.

 

I guess, they were really happy to not have lost each other.

Last time Pauline and Star died, so there are two free slots in the house.

And here we have Macella Gallgher-Sackholme. Well, actually, that´s Gallgher-Sack, but I think that´s because the rest of the letters doesn´t fit. She was born in Dragon Valley and I dragged her family into Lunar Lakes to have some familiar faces running around. Her fatherless son is grown up now and she´s already an adult. Her traits are perfectionist, loser, excitable, eccentric and athletic.

She wants to become a monster maker, but I don´t know, if that will be possible in the remaining time. She has zero skill points at inventing.

Macella: That was quick.

Well, we have kind of a tight schedule here.

She instantly tells Miles.

Wait.

Shouldn´t you be telling that someone else?

Gabby: What are you doing with that other woman??

Miles: Nothing! There never was anyone else but you!

Shaoran: Oh? Could´ve fooled me.

(There really isn´t. People just constantly swarm him because of the irresistable trait. He then snarls at them, because he´s grumpy.)

Macella then tells her boyfriend. Well, I made her.

Macella: So… We need to buy baby shoes.

Shaoran: Really??

*Instantly rolls wish to marry her*

We can do that. Proposing, at least.

He dropped the box, but I missed the shot.

Okay, we could have picked a better spot. At least Macella chose nice pregnancy clothes.

 

This one is just too cute.

As is this one.

That´s the only reason, I bought them the chicken coop.

Macella does the only athletic activity pregnant sims are allowed to do.

Perhaps I should have given Fiona something turquoise to wear.

Fiona: Not my style. I match the sofa.

True, dat.

Oh, hey, Star!

And baby time!

For a woman in labour, Macella seems unusually happy to see the father of the child.

Macella: Shaoran! How nice, that you are here!

Shaoran: You can´t give birth in front of the china gnome! He´s very sensitive!

She does it anyway. Best birthing shot ever!

Shaoran: Yay! My baby!

Beverly rolls evil and slob. What a delightfull combination. She´s also pink.

In other news, Gabby reached her lifetime wish of culinary librarian with this omelets.

Gabby: I can´t even eat them.

Don´t worry, there are enough hungry mouths in this house to feed.

And I kind of missed Randolph´s birthday.

Randolph: That´s not nice! I thought you liked me!

I do! Just got a bit distracted by the pink baby. You will totally be in the spotlight right now.

He rolls lucky, by the way.

This is Beverly´s birthday party. I invited a schoolmate of Catherine, Connie Ansari, who kind of grew up on the way. This is after her makeover. Her face is… interesting.

She´s evil, hot-headed, eccentric and excitable, and the moment she steps on the lot, Randolph is head over heals for her.

Randolph: *rolls every possible wish from pillow-fighting to moving in with her*

What is it with my guys and evil sims??

But she seems equally eager.

First kiss.

And she´s his girlfriend. That never happened so quickly before.

Macella: Um, can we, like, have a birthday here? The watcher is so flabbergasted, she forgot to move my plumbob.

Connie and Randolph: Busy, lol.

Everyone and plumbob: Yay, birthday!

She´s got a pretty strong jaw going on there, but otherwise, totally cute!

This is autonomous. I love it, if my sims do these things.

And here we have the empress of evil reading her son to sleep.

With a children-appropriate book.

So cute!

As is this.

And this!

Stop it, already!

The indian clothes were on sale. Fiona looks awesome!

And we have people violating the bedrooms. Must be a party.

Here´s Eddy. I actually moved him out, as soon as Randolph grew up to a child, because he´s really boring.

He adopted two giant dogs. This is Gulliver.

Susan: … don´t even think about it!

The birthday girl doesn´t seem to be in a hurry to grow up.

I made Susan sniff him.

Susan: This is animal abuse!

Those two never stop.

Cake!

 

Catherine: I like the hat.

Yeah, but I´m not sure about the coat. It´s summer.

Catherine: That´s nice, but where´s my hat??

With your formal clothes. I think.

She rolls cat person.

I like her nightgown.

Cathrine: That´s so chliché!

But it suits you!

Pauline´s lifebar is full and her mum is still alive. I think she´s glitched. And this picture is just creepy.

Star: Snake!

Shaoran took Catherine and Randolph flying.

Jk, the pool didn´t render.

Shaoran: Do you like the water?

Randolph: NO! Something is dragging me down!

Catherine: That would be your winter clothes, doofus.

He retreats to safety and reads a book.

Here we have some grandchild-grandma bonding.

Pauline: Should we go inside the house?

Catherine: Nah, I´m good. Will you make your move already??

Someone bought this guy at the festival.

I searched for Randolph and found him still at school, chatting about his mom with someone. His bathing suit is actually a good choice in this rain.

And in the evening…

Pauline: I didn´t finish my game!

Pauline: Can I please just finish my chess match?

Grim: NO.

Pauline: Drat.

Yeah, Star, your daughter just died of old age, and you are still around.

So I triggered her age transition when she reached 200 days. I´m playing with 128 days now. This is ridiculous.

Still feel like a murderer, though.

 

I would have totally quit without saving, if she had begged for her life. But she seems to be cool with it.

Surprisingly, Fiona seems to be the most upset.

She also gets Star´s inventory.

Oh, hey, Pauline.

And she finishes her game!

Pauline: You could play with Fiona now.

Catherine: Puleeze, she totally sucks!

Goodbye, both of you!

Those two both have the wish to marry AND to marry each other.

So let´s do this, shall we?

(Please ignore the phone and Gabby burning up. I always miscalculate the time she can stay outside. She will get a potion for the wedding.)

Outside wedding because routing. And scenery.

Unrendered scenery.

This is better. Even if the guest are not sitting down.

Except Jaron. I love Jaron.

 

They are really cute together.

 

 

And now the cake!

 

Randolph: CAKE!

Uhm… have some?

Teagan got old. Nice dress, dear.

Pauline: It´s hideous!

Teagan: Shut up.

She actually scares me a bit. I would never dare to change her choice of clothes.

Jovan: Soooo… wedding, mh?

Pauline: Nah, not for me.

She never wished for a wedding. Although she rolls a lot of wishes for Jovan, whenever she sees him.

So NOW you are sitting down. Enjoy your cake.

All in all it was a really smooth wedding. No one even got stuck while throwing rice.

This is what the newlyweds do on free will, after all the guest are gone.

Okay, let´s stop this sappy stuff right here.

Okay, no more clicking on Miles stressed-out moodlet. He doesn´t even have the „attractive company“ moodlet under normal circumstances, but as soon as he´s stressed he´s all about making babies with his second cousin.

They would have made a cute couple, though.

Miles reached his lifetimewish by the way – he´s now an astronaut.

And Catherine grew up. I think she´s got her grandpa Jovan´s hair.

Randolph loves to preside over his royal court, like his great-grandpa Nathan. Speaking of…

He´s a ghost but still a witch! Is this a glitch? It´s cool!

The only difference is, that he´s now using a wand instead of his hands.

Talking about witchcraft.

Fiona on the other hand prefers to start a duel.

Nathan loses. Must be the crappy wand.

 

Cute child-toddler-cat spam.

Cathrine: Wait for me Suzie!

Susan: In your dreams, runt.

More spam.

I misclicked and sent Pauline on a date with Jaron.

After rejecting his flowers, they have a nice chat.

Pauline boasts with her grandchild.

And here she speaks about Catherine´s hidden trait „can salute“ (because Miles is in the military). Never seen that before.

I had to move the ghosts out – they were out all day and everyone dropped their action queues, because they had to react to them. So I made a little lot next to the house, bought it and made a ghost playground.

Randolph is always busy playing.

He actually seems to be able to spy something.

Everyone loves Shaoran.

He makes a wine rack. Or something.

This was a fun date. They kept standing on different levels.

Fiona reaches her LTW. She´s now empress of evil!

I just don´t know who the other glowing guy is. Did she kick him out? And what happened to Teagan? Perhaps she´s already retired.
