Nathan transformed something into a fairy damsel. Such a usefull sim!

One of our pet guests totally scratched up the couch. We´ll need to replace it.

Kisa is always the first at Shaoran´s cot.

I think, I never properly introduced Liang Yat Sen. He´s a premade sim from China. His traits are never nude, neat, handy, good and easily impressed. His lifetime wish is leader of the free world. He also has already 9 skillpoints in athletics and is rather frighteningly muscled. Apart from that, he´s a rather nice sim.

He´s also quite bi. I noticed his „attractive company“ moodlet around Kym and checked his preferences with mastercontroler- he has some really high numbers for both genders. How he managed to do that, after I safed him to the library and added him to the town, I don´t know. Normally, all preferences are set back to 0/0.

Kym is straigth as a ruler, though. Besides, you have a girlfriend now, Liang. And a son.

Said son is growing up!

 

Ooh, what a cutie! I was a bit disappointed, that he is no fairy, but it´s not that important. That is Liang´s eye shape, I think, but he got his grandma Amber´s grey eyes (which she got from her dad Paul), and are those Violetta´s lips? Perhaps?

Jaron thinks, his grandson is adorable, too.

I feel a bit bad, that Jaron never got to raise his own child…

Jaron: Well, you should!

BUT you raised your own wife!

Jaron: … true.

Jovan O´Reilly is also a young adult now, so…

… those two can have a little fun.

He stays the night and plays with the cats. Good guy, that sim.

He won´t be moving in, though….

Because of this…

… and I already had to move out Steven and Star, which are now living in Amber and Jaron´s house. Steven is not happy about it. I even added another room for them!

… perhaps it´s the gigantic dog.

Kym makes a visit and invites himself to dinner.

And Pauline discovers that she´s pregnant in the worst lit spot on the lot.

It´s fullmoon and Kisa is a bit confused. Pauline doesn´t care.

Shaoran loves his drum! The other members of the household not so much.

Success! We have a purple dragon! His name is Phil.

One of our visiting strays. This one is rather cute.

Kym: So, how is being dead, gramps?

Paul: Well, you don´t have to do the dishes ever again!

Being pregnant doesn´t stop Pauline from playing an instrument everywhere.

Kym progresses in the styling career. He can now do makeovers.

The people love him!

Well, this one doesn´t. But perhaps she´s eternaly grumpy because of her name. It´s Reginald. That´s a boys name, yes?

Baby incoming!

Shaoran: Gonna play dwum!

Pauline: … I want to go to the hospital!

Safe and fast transport to the hospital.

Little Miles rolled grumpy (like his granddad!) and loves the outdoors.

I somehow have no pictures of Kym growing up to young adult. Here´s one of his graduation instead. He rolled bot-fan, and because he did not have a lifetime wish yet, I chose one from the provided list. He now wants to become a fashion phenomenon. I soon discovered, that this clashes with his can´t stand art trait. Every time he sits on the drawing table, he get´s a bad moodlet. Wtf, EA?

Kisa autonomously breaks spacerocks. A lot. As a result, there are gems everywhere.

That´s a pink diamond in the upper left corner. Go ahead, Kisa dear.

Part of our pretty collection.

Joe and Natan went on a date.

Rollerblading has hilarious animations.

And a bodyless female sim. Spooky.

While his dads enjoy themselves, Kym breaks up with his romantic prom interest.

She´s pretty angry.

Well, there are other fish to… style.

This fish sim is married with children. Pitty.

This customer is very happy with Kym´s styling. Though he doesn´t try the pumps.

Star´s „naked“ hair actually makes sense here.

Nathan is now able to repair and improve everything with witchcraft. Which is a lot more entertaining than the usual way!

He creates a portal to another dimension. (Anyone thinking of Stargate?)

Off he goes!

 

It´s just pop-up text like in the catacombs, but funny!

And now I admit to a bit of cheating. I saved some chinese households to the library and moved them to empty houses in Dragon Valley. But I just couldn´t be bothered to hunt potential spouses all through the town, just to find out, that story progression has married them to some cougars. So I just added Liang Yat Sen to the family.

I did not force a relationship in any way. Without his interfering mum, Liang and Kisa got on like a house on fire.

First kiss.

And commited relationship.

Posting this, it seems rushed, but it were actually several sim-days of gameplay.

Bonding parent-child interlude.

Despite his dislike of the drawing board, Kym does some cool pictures.

Kisa, are you unwell?

Kisa: This is all your fault.

You may be right about that.

But see? Now you are happy!

(And adequately clothed. My compliments.)

Steven and Star don´t get that much screen time, but they are also adorable with each other.

 

Pet invasion! Time to clear the caches!

All very tired.

Kisa is in labour, Liang thinks of his cousin-in-law (is that a thing?) and Nathan laments the difficult relationship of his son with the drawing board. Or something.

It´s a boy! His name is Shaoran. He rolls clumsy and easily impressed. That´s cute, as long as he´s small.

Kym makes a baby mat.

This looks cute, but I think, that thing is kinda bugged. It takes ages to order a sim to actually lay the baby on the mat, and as soon as he is on it, every sim in the house queues up „put baby in cot“. I think, the reason is, that the noboo is on the floor – and yes, sims tend to plop their babies on the floor, as long, as there is no cot. If there is one, the child is placed in it.

So, OMG, baby on the floor – pick it up!! Everyone, drop everything!

I used it once, I think.

We bought the martial arts training stuff in China. Kisa is disciplined, so she uses them on free will.

And lifetime wish achieved! Yay!

Now she can relax with her cousins.

They are pretty good friends, especially Kym and Pauline.

Speaking of Pauline… it´s her birthday!

This is Kym´s romantic interest, that he aquired at prom. I should have written down her name.

Well, at least I can give her a new outfit.

And Kym thinks, she´s boring. The prom RIs are mostly annoying. Poor girl, it´s not your fault!

It´s a garden party!

 

Pauline rolled brooding. She wants to become a creature-robot cross breader, like her grandpa. I think, she rolled it as a child, when she saw a ghost, it doesn´t really fit her traits (virtuoso, couch potato, perfectionist, vegetarian, brooding).

Garden parties are really relaxed, because there are few routing issues. I should do them more often. Just have to work on the lighting…

She has Violetta´s eyes, nose and mouth, but her mum Star´s face shape and the orange IF eyebrowes.

I like her. If a sim can be level-headed, Pauline is the one.

Nice graduation in the rain.

I bought a snow cone machine for Pauline´s birthday. Now I´m reluctant to sell it, ´cause…

… Steven does this faces when eating one.

Nathen rolled the wish to do a conversion ritual. He transformed an apple into a death fish!! I truely love this guy.

Second try is a shark. Ah, well.

Next try. We have tons of life fruit.

A seed. Okay.

I wanted to plant the seed to see what would grow out of it, but of course, I promptly forgot.

The couples enjoy a bit of dancing on love day.

It sure got Nathan and Joe in the mood.

Kym: Ewww, dads, get a room! You are so embarassing!

Being a teenager with such lovey-dovey parents must be tough.

Steven and Star with their daughter. They grow up so fast!

I went shopping at the store…

Pauline made the dollhouse.

It´s awesome! I need a toddler!

I want a purple dragon. So Kisa talks about friends…

… and Kym talks about friends…

*Poof* Green dragon. Methinks I´m doing something wrong.

Well, enough of that. We need a holiday!

In China. I love, love, love this world.

I chose Kisa, Nathan, Joe and Steven. It´s very relaxing to play with only four sims!

Those two want to sparr.

They are already pretty good!

So is Kisa.

Steven has no interest in martial arts, so he handles the shopping and fruit harvesting.

Sightseeing.

Flirting, while sightseeing.

Kisa loves China, too.

Although I did not want you to bring a dragon. They are glitchy as hell.

Kisa: I wanted to show her the land of her forefathers.

Ah, well. Okay.

Relaxing in the zen-garden.

I thought, a chinese partner for Kisa would be nice. This is Liang Yat Sen.

Kisa: So, how do you think about marrying into a kind of legacy?

Liang: Uuhmm…

I don´t know, Kisa. This one seems a bit dull.

Joe really hit it off with Zhan Su.

But despite the heart-farting, they stick strictly to friendy interactions.

Same with Kisa.

Maybe a good thing. I´ve seen Zhan in several legacies, he´s a really nice guy, but it probably would be weird.

Meanwhile, Steven wants to go home.

Steven: You made me phone Star, and now I´m homesick.

Relax, it´s just two more days.

Uh, no, I don´t like this one. He has shifty eyes.

Kisa visits Liang Yat Sen.

They have a nice chat, but his mom keeps interfering.

Don´t you want your son to become a legacy spouse??

Abi: No.

Kisa gets an opportunity to sparr with this old guy, Shen Hong. He and his son Shing both seem to like her.

She kicks his ass though.

I kind of gave up the spouse hunting after that, Kisa just isn´t the woman to hurry these things. So I kinda cheated (well not really. It´s not cheating if it´s in the game mechanics, right?), and saved a few of the chinese households to the library, to plop them down in Dragon Valley, when we get home.

The others went fishing…

… and a bit of treasure hunting.

I really thought, Nathan would get completly hysteric because of the bugs.

He so often shows his neurotic trait, that I kinda forget, that he´s also brave.

No problem at all. He found some nice stuff.

And I somehow forgot to take pictures after that, until they arrived home. Steven misses the limo, because he gets one of those annoying date calls.

Home, sweet home.

Here we have Pauline doing the laundry. Good girl.

Aaand Joe getting his lifetime wish. Missed the shot again. Sigh.

Now that Pauline is a teen, she can jam with her Dad. Steven is pleased.

Susan is sad.

But there´s Violetta! Hi Violetta!

Violetta: Rocking chair!

Kisa is awake and starts chatting.

Sybil gets petted. Then Vi drifts back into her urn. *sniffle*

Moving on.

There´s a cellar under the library! I sent Kisa to read a bit, and because it´s fullmoon, she wanders off instead and discovers two dragon eggs.

I let her talk red dragon talk to them.

*Poof!* Green dragons. Drat.

Well, I don´t know, what Kisa said to them in the library.

I then bought an egg and it worked! A red dragon! His name is Kero-chan.

Kym has his birthday!

Kym: I can´t go to school like this!

Right you are. I´ll fix your clothes. And I think, that´s your dad´s hair, even though it suits you.

Kisa´s lifetime wish is physical perfection, so she has to master the martial arts and athletic skill.

Kym looks like his dad. Well, like Joe. Obviously not Nathan.

He rolled can´t stand art, by the way.

This game is very popular at the moment.

Steven reached the top of the education career. But one of the smiley faces (the one for lectures) is always the angry red one, even though I sent him to school for lectures even on his free days. And he always comes home stressed. So I let him quit. He seems happy about that!

Pauline visits her friend, the one with the nice genes.

This is Jovan O´Reilly. He´s good, never nude, charismatic, a schmoozer and a heavy sleeper, and one of this traits he will get later, when he becomes a young adult, but I don´t know, which. So there.

His family is weird.

They move around a lot, so Pauline gets her first kiss in the garden, with an audience. But she seems happy.

I wanted her to grab him, before story progression got him a girlfriend, so it got quite late. Pauline was escorted home by a police officer and an umbrella.

Pauline gets chewed out by her mom. Hey, it was my fault!

Star: Well, then I forgive her!

She then sends her to bed.

Good night!

It´s Kisa´s graduation day! The whole family in one car!

It takes ages.

Everyone is tired and hungry, when they emerge again.

Kisa tosses her diploma anyway. Once again, I forgot, what she was most likely to do in her life. Bad simmer.

Violetta takes a nap in the rocking chair. And then…

Violetta: Hey, I´m see-through. Cool.

No routing problems for Grimmi this time.

Kisa is so distraught, she changes into an outfit, I definitley did not design for her.

Violetta is ready, though.

 

And then Sybil did something, and I MISSED IT! Gah.

Anyway, look, who´s back!

Violetta: Ooh, I don´t feel so good…

Violetta: Wait, what?

Violetta: I´m… I´m alive!

She then promptly faints.

When she recovers, she consoles the cats. First Susan…

…than the heroine of the day!

Sybil: You were a ghost!

Violetta: Thanks to you, I´m not!

After all the commotion, Steven tries to get back at Nathan.

Star is having nothing of it, though.

I forgot to mention, Kisa rolled supernatural-fan as her last trait. She now gets all loopy under the full moon.

Violetta: Breakfast is so much better, when you died!

I watched her like a hawk.

She takes a lot of fotos with other people…

… wants to play a game…

… has a sneaky rendezvous with her dead husband in the treehouse..

… visits the fortuneteller…

(I had to build the lot to fullfil this wish. Dragon valley is pretty, but you have to add all the extra lots.)

… skates on a frozen pond…

… and dies again on Pauline´s birthday party, two days later. The poor girl has the worst luck with her birthdays.

A lot more audience this time.

Again, she accepts her fate with grace.

 

 

We still have a birthday to celebrate.

 

Pauline rolled vegetarian.

 

I think, I will make a proper graveyard in the future. For now, they stay like this.

Goodbye Violetta.

 

It´s Spooky Day!

Amber: My mom is wearing my costume! And there´s a child running around!

Jaron: That´s your nephew, dear. Let´s wohoo in your parent´s bed, for old times sake!

Violetta is indeed wearing the same dress. For some reason, this child thinks, she´s really boring. Rude!

I bought a bar.

Nathan: Oooops! *rolls wish to improve bartending*

Very good idea.

Kisa and Pauline are also wearing very similar costumes.

And are gossiping about the dress choices of some guests.

This party really rocks. Perhaps I should have let them carve a few pumpkins?

Well, the food seems to be good.

I most definitely won´t make a joke about playing doctor.

Did Joe nab these coats at work?

Kisa grows up to young adult!

Nice outfit choice.

She looks a lot like her mum.

To be exact, they look exactly the same, apart from the eyecolour (well, and the wings). On the left Amber, on the right Kisa.

Ah, I don´t care. Kisa has a totally different character anyway.

I noticed, the fountain stopps sometime during the night. Nice touch.

Violetta and Steven decide to play football.

Steven looks muscular, but he has in fact only one or two athletic skill points.

So Violetta totally kicks his cute behind.

I will really miss her.

Violetta is making a high chair. From ice.

It´s pretty. But, no.

Kisa continues her good relationship with Pauline. Even if she is reading her school book to her. She´s projecting some kind of aura, that´s the reason she´s glowing red.

She also uses the „bloom“ action a lot on free will. She really embraces her fairy heritage.

Paul is the first one to actually use the pizza oven.

I want some!

Kym comes home just before curfew.

Pretty!

The house looks a bit better now.

I made Kym change form. Do they ever do that autonomously? If so, I´ve never seen it.

Nathan has a problem with choosing the right bed again.

Joe: We talked about this! Your BROTHER is sleeping in that bed! Just no!

Nathan: *doesn´t see a problem*

There´s a puddle in front of the door to the garden. Just like real life.

Steven gets bored to death (well, to sleep) by Fintan Mithrilen.

I don´t remember, who this is, but this town has really interesting faces!

Everyone is judging Steven.

Pauline and Kym still have the most interesting conversations. Kym is particulary fond of „presiding over court“, while Pauline goes for the costume chest.

Aliens! Hey, she´s an old woman! Be carefull!

 

Got cool photos, though.

Yes, Vi, they are annoying!

Kisa has the wish to fairy-prank someone, so…

Kisa: This won´t hurt a bit…

Star: Huh?

I think, it´s called „skivvies“.

Star: Wha…

Star is not amused.

Star: How dare you embarass me like that!

Kisa: Hey, chill! It´s just a joke!

Joe: I think, you are even more clothed than before…

Kisa: My point exactly! I was just trying to help!

She seems to be very pleased with herself.

Steven however, is not.

Steven: Did you have to do that to my wife??

Um, yes?

Steven does the best faces!

I always thought the fullmoon zombies are kinda scary, but Paul thinks, they are hilarious.

Kisa loves her little cousin.

They look good together, with their different complexions. Cute, too.

Pauline aged up! She rolled perfectionist, like Kisa. Makeover?

Pauline: Yes, please.

That´s better. There was no birthday cake, but someone made pumpkin pie.

Star is climbing the musical career ladder. No idea, what this outfit means. She still has to top charisma to get her lifetime wish.

Pauline wanted to learn painting.

She´s supposed to be a coach potato, but she likes to clean up the house.

This is Kisa´s prom. It is raining, no one knows how to door and dressing up isn´t part of the plan.

Kisa had a nice outfit though. But the prom was a disaster. She was actually in the red here, so I gave up on getting a better picture and sent her to bed.

I remembered to give a party!

Oh, hi, Amber! You are just in time for the caking!

Amber: Ugh, no.

Everyone: *cheering and stuff*

Amber: I need a drink.

Hi, cutie!

He rolled light sleeper.

Amber: Did I miss the brat? Good.

(She actually wandered off and got herself a drink, instead of birthday-cheering. If that is part of the dislikes-children trait, it´s kind of neat.)

Kym is allowed to wear the IF-trousers.

I got a weird glitch, which consisted of my sims leaving clothes piles, even though they didn´t had a washing mashine. The only working solution was, to buy a washing machine and dryer. I recoloured them, and Violetta made a hamper at the sculpting station on free will.

She moved on to ice, though.

Um… carefull with that thing?

Violetta: I got this.

The animations for ice-sculpting are way cool.

Pauline brought a friend home.

Oooh, look at thoses nice genes this nice young man! Play tag with him, will you? Good girl.

Violetta´s age bar is full, and she drew this. I´m a bit concerned.

For now she´s enjoying herself at the festival grounds.

Dragon valley has no festival grounds, so I plopped one in. The roof in the foreground is acually the family home, so it´s conviniently near.

She mets Jaron, and I let her dance with him. Why not?

Vi is having fun!

Steven and Paul are playing videogames and having a nice conversation.

About their respective work…

 

… cooking…

… and they kinda lost me there.

Oops, I wanted to throw her a party, but then I forgot…

… perhaps a haircut?

… I think she designed her sleepwear herself. If it isn´t to hideous, I let my sims keep their chosen outfits.

She rolled heavy sleeper, by the way. This outfit doesn´t reflect her personality at all, but I just got that shirt from the store…

The car is finished! The family (and some guests) did it all by themselves!

Nathan brought some refreshments to the library. Steven made this potion.

And now, ladies and gentlemen…

…ka-ching! Lifetimewish points doubled! I´m pretty sure, this will be the only time, I´ll remember to do this.

Violetta still faints every time Paul´s ghost shows up, but after recovering, she´s happy to see him.

I know, Paul, your garden is in a state! I´ll send someone to weed!

Violetta and Sybil cuteness.

 

Susan wants to yowl along again. Steven thinks, it´s funny.

Nathan just threw another potion. I wasn´t fast enough.

aaaaaaaaaaand….

… conjuring apples! Nathan is a witch now!

(Because Steven was able to brew this potion, and I think that a magician, who can actually do magic is funny.)

I immediatly bought him the lifetime reward for magic hands after this first attempt. It´s much cooler.

Joe: …um… why are your hands glowing like that?

Good luck charm!

Joe: Oh, you´re a witch now? Neat. Something else you can do with your hands?

Nathan: … I have one or two ideas…

(Can´t leave those two alone. Seriously.)
