—————————————————————————————

Okay, first glitch I noticed with this family is that they reverted out of their custom skintone even though I haven’t deleted any custom content.

As always, I forgot makeover pictures, but Meadow came walking by and I had Laurence greet her. They have 3 bolts.

And lucky me, Sarah decided to fall in love with the slob.

*growls* who is VERY glitched.

Kayleigh playing with the teddy bear. She did this all week.

o_O Laurence, that is inappropriate in your mother’s bed!

ACR at work here *headdesk*

Uh, there is just something not right about that.

*headdesk* 3 bolt couples are quite annoying actually.

Really? How do you like talking through the TV Lucie?

Aww. Lucie is still a little kid at heart.

Sarah got her dream job in the military.

I just don’t think that Laurence’s teacher is going to believe that the dog ate his homework.

And they got a new house because their old one was making me angry.

Sarah invites Willow over to celebrate.

And of course, Meadow is over again.

Poor Kayleigh is going to be ruined for life.

Oops. Maybe I shouldn’t have her repair something with no mechanical points.

This is all Sarah did after I added this to the house.

Kayleigh learning to study.

And Laurence learning to study.

This is what Lucie did most of the week until they finally got a dishwasher.

A+ for Kayleigh.

Try for baby time.

Sarah asked Willow to move in.

And I quickly changed her aspiration to grilled cheese. I really don’t like pleasure.

She cleans up decent.

Sassy grew into an adult dog.

Laurence got an A+.

Sarah impaled herself through the window because of a fire.

She got a makeover to get another bolt between her and Willow and then popped.

Uh what???? How do they both get pregnant?

This was when I first started noticing more glitchyness.

Sarah proposed to Willow.

And then they got married.

Sarah invited over her parents Charlie and Lacey to tell them about the marriage and the baby.

Thats alot of candles for a little girl.

Very pretty. What do you aspire to do in life?

Uh WHAT??? She’s not romance, shes popularity, but ok.

Well, she changed LTWs after a few hours. It was weird stupid glitches again. She turned out pretty though.

Once again what? She popped from no tummy to third trimester.

Sarah popped too. *headdesk* That means twins.

Willow had a hard pregnancy so I used the energizer.

Kayleigh called the matchmaker, but didn’t have that much money, so her date didn’t go very well, but she got a few wants fulfilled.

Baby time!

Thank goodness. Welcome baby girl May to the family.

Uh? What? Okay, first she popped into third trimester again and then 5 seconds later gave birth.

Oh good, just two babies. Welcome baby girl June to the family.

Uh Oh, This was another glitch. Willow went into labor again and gave birth to another girl, July. Oh goody for me, now I have triplets to look forward to next week.

Ok Kayleigh, way to make friends with your brother’s girlfriend.

And we end this week with another fire.

Points this round:

+6 for starting sims

-2 for sims moved out (Charlie, Lacey)

+4 for added sims (Willow, May, June, July)

Hedwig the popularity sims starts making friends right away, starting with her family.

Howie calls to buy a business to get started on his LTW to own 5 top level businesses.

Me: *hits head on desk*

He arrives at the land he bought and attempts his first makeover. It didn’t work out too well.

Although, after that, they got much better..

and again…

Eventually he added some baby items to sell to the neighborhood and got to a Rank 2.

Me: This is the first time that I have had a business actually.. and I tried quite a bit to get it working

Another good makeover.

I sent Howie back home and sold the business back for now. He met Sadie Oates.

Who is obviously blind to how he looks.

He invites her to move in.

She got a makeover and wound up being very pretty. She’s a fortune sim like Howie, but has a much more do-able LTW.

Howie quickly asks her to marry him

Me: Probably before she gets her sight back and runs the opposite direction

And they get married right in the living room in their undies.

Me: One of these days, I will give some of my sims actual weddings

They adopted a male adult cat named Sweets

And Howie got to work on getting a flower badge

Me: which took making 40 daisy bouquets to get a bronze one.. sheesh

Hedwig looked for a job in the politics career, but couldn’t find one and gave up.

Baby on the way?

I have fallen in love with the Pets EP again (for now)

Rufus has a liking for sports and spent quite a bit of time on the basketball goal.

Me: That ball is bigger than him

First day of school pic for Rufus.

Uh really? Hedwig, I don’t think you should wear a ballet outfit to play basketball

HAHA = I don’t think they feel the same way about each other.

See? I definitely think that these two are going to be together.  She came over randomly and they started dancing.

And Hedwig gets her first kiss from Rosemarie Jitmakusol

Me: really MAXIS? what kind of name is that?

Awkward hug right in front of your stepmother.

Me: Oh, I edited the family trees so that Howie is Rufus and Hedwig’s father because it better fits.

Esmond Kirkendall came over for 2 days and played video games. The only reason he left was because he “popped” out when I installed the freetime patch.

Hedwig learned to study from Sadie.

And she was the social one in this house.

They adopted another cat, this one a female named Roux

first bump!

I thought Hedwig looked cute here! She was having a water balloon fight with one of her many friends

Sadie taught the cats the tricks needed to work in the Show Biz career.

Howie, really now? That’s your daughter and looks very inappropriate

Hedwig was excited about the new baby. She did this on her own quite a few times.

Howie attempts to fix the shower, which he did, but it still looks broken.

Instead of waiting a few minutes for his wife to finish dinner, he stuffed his face 

Have to love the insane amounts of chance cards with freetime. Lets go with slide tackle…

Yay! I win.

Uh, creepy townie, it’s not appropriate to look at your friend’s stepmother’s chest.

I forgot that there was a toy car in the yard and at first I was like WTF is she doing?

Oh! Second bump!

Yay! The cats are becoming friends!

Which means one thing! Kittens on the way..

Rufus decided to go swimming right before school and almost missed the bus

Sadie finally decides she wants to kill Howie.

Hedwig gets an A+.

And so does Rufus.

Baby time!

Just one. 

Me: Thank goodness

Welcome baby girl Summer.

Me: Enjoy looking cute now, the toddler days are near

Uh… Is that such a good idea with two of your children in the room?

First storm of the fall and Hedwig plays in the puddles.

More freetime chance cards. Lets give her the headphones

oops. Oh well, at least you don’t get fired.

Hedwig took care of Summer the whole time she was a baby.

More chance cards. Uh… Lets work the commercial

Ugh. I’m so bad at this..

Sadie finds a job in her chosen career, business.

Me: Which I decided right after was a bad idea since she didn’t have a chance to get promoted before maternity leave and lost her high paying job

Something tells me sticking your head in the trash is not a good idea.

See? *please don’t die!*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Howie, you better win.

Good Howie!

Me: This is the first death & save I have ever had

That dogs name is Tiffany! She shares my name

Really Sadie? Did you finally gain your eyesight and want out or something?

NO! Please, not again. 

Me: Her motives didn’t go that far down the second time thank goodness

Hedwig somehow finds time between making friends to keep the house clean.

No one cares that you made the crepes catch on fire Sadie.

Birthday time!

See? I told you to enjoy being cute while you could..

And Sadie is still trying to get over the electrocution so she kept falling asleep in her food.

O_O. Toddler makeover. She’s cute… in her own way.

Does it really take two of them to potty train her?

Kitties!

Meet Miracle and Love

Uh.. I don’t think thats a good idea Hedwig.

Sorry for the bad pic.. but TWO wolves? (look at the two hearts)

Apparently, Sadie sleeps in the nude. Baby bump #1

This is what Sadie did most of her toddler days.

And when she was out, she was bothering the kitties.

And no one put her back in the crib, so she slept on the grass

Birthday time!

He’s cute…?

And he aspires to…family!

With a do-able LTW, it will just take awhile.

And Rufus gets his first kiss from Jessica of course!

Makeover pic. 

Me: He’s quite fit from the basketball.

Uh.. they can hope to “get abducted” by themselves? She’s not even a knowledge sim…

Baby bump #2 ends the week.

Points this round:

+3 for starting sims

+2 for added sims(Sadie, Summer)

This week started with Jessica playing with the toddler table, a trend that continues throughout this update.

Meanwhile, Belle and Brittany get started on teaching the toddlers their skills.

This guy, Chandler Dennis, showed up right after the welcome party, and Brittany liked him right away.

I didn’t play this hood for awhile and I installed pets during that time, and the toddlers got stuck with the sleeping zzzs.

Jessica’s first day of school.

Brittany didn’t have much time to do anything during the first part of the week because she was busy with the toddlers.

See? More block playing. 

Brittany got a job in Athletics since Oceanography wasn’t open.

Jessica learned to study from Belle

Actually, Belle spent most of her time being a good grandmother this week.

Isn’t this just creepy?

See? More Belle being a good grandmother.

3 people in the family wanted to adopt a pet, so I had Brittany call and adopt a puppy.

See? Isn’t he cute? His name is Maxx.

Brittany worked out while the toddlers were sleeping so she could get a promotion since Oceanography still hadn’t opened.

More of Belle being a good grandmother. Most of the toddler skills were taught by her actually.

AWWWW! Maxx watched the TV. I didn’t know this could happen.

Oops. I guess I should of fed her. (Is she supposed to sit IN the pet bowl?)(And those silly zzzs again)

Rufus is just all popular in this town. I think Jessica will actually wind up with her, not a Rosada. He came over everyday of the week and their relationship was 100/100.

Birthday time! First Justin.

He grew up quite well I think.

Oh no, don’t eat that!(He did and got sick before his sister even got to the cake)

See? Now it’s Julie’s turn.

She grew up well too. Except her hair changed colors?

Post Makeover: Justin

And Julie

More block playing.

Justin’s first day of school.

Julie’s first day too.

After the twins grew up, Brittany had time to focus on a relationship again. She invited over Chandler and asked him to move in. (He added 3000$)

I think he cleaned up well. He does have a little bit of a mouth on him though. 

Knowledge: TOC Medical – Sagittarius – Nature

He soon asked her to marry him.

Justin learned to study from Chandler.

And Julie learned to study from Belle.

Chandler played ball with Julie most nights. (I cropped the pic together)

Belle being a good grandmother again tucking in Jessica.

Brittany and Belle wanted a makeover chair so I got them one. Belle’s first makeover didn’t go so well.

Luckily, she got a second attempt and did much better.

And Brittany got it right on the first try.

Ouch. Doesn’t that hurt Justin?

Of course, I have a pic of Jessica…

…and Julie looking goofy having a water balloon fight.

Oh! First bump! Isn’t she gorgeous?

More good makeovers.

And more blocks!

Second bump (and still and engagement ring)

Oh, Chandler got a job in the medical field since that is his lifetime want. Career chance card. Lets choose Ask Custodian…

Yes! That was a good move.

Maxx grows into an adult dog. He’s not as cute as when he was a puppy, but still cute.

Time for Jessica’s birthday!

I think she grew up well. What does she choose?

Knowledge of course!

And her lifetime want is doable of course (did freetime add new LTWs? I’ve seen alot I haven’t seen before)

And her post makeover shot. I didn’t change much. Just added a little makeup and she has a labret piercing.

Baby time!

Only one. A little boy named Camden.

Once again, Belle took on her grandmother role and started taking care of Camden.

Points this round:

+5 for starting sims

+2 for added sims

First thing that happened this week was that Cameron greeted the neighbors. He practically fell in love at first sight with a woman named Camryn. Of course he had to, he wanted to confuse me with names.

Next, I had Riley greet one of the passing teen girls so he could have a friend.

Nichole met Alan on Tuesday morning and fell in love.

Right before her first adopted child, Temperance, arrived.

Me: Hey, she wants to marry off 6 children, I sure am gonna try. Temperance makes 2.

Meanwhile, Cameron had Camryn move in and proposes to her…

And then marries her right away.

Me: Is is really good to be dreaming about that right after your first woohoo with your husband?

First signs of pregnancy on the way!

I had Camryn find a job even though she won’t get to work until after the baby.

Me: Sometime right around here, I had Nichole, Alan, and Temperence move out, but forgot to take a picture.

Riley’s friend Debbie decided to stay for an extended time just like Aquamarine’s did at the last house.

Me: Anyone know why it might be doing that? They both left at the end of the week saying they had a great time. I noticed I can’t just invite teens over from the phone. You can only chat or invite them as a houseguest.

Riley learned how to study and now finishes his homework super fast.

First bump!

I’m going to try and get someone to be able to make snapdragons. So far, Riley and Cameron are close to bronze badge.

Riley finally gets his first kiss from Debbie.

And they quickly become an established couple.

Riley plays basketball with friends from school to keep his fun up enough to do homework.

Camryn cleans the house while on maternity leave.

Me: I wish my bowls stacked that perfectly!

Second bump!

Cameron spends alot of his time painting.

A+ for Riley!

Me: I don’t think your dad cares Riley. He won’t even get dressed.

Riley sits down and tries to have breakfast with his new mom, but she falls asleep in her food.

Baby time!

It’s a girl! Welcome baby Yasmin. She has red hair and green eyes.

Me: It’s Cameron so cute making the picture frame over his wife and new baby?

Camryn goes back to work so Cameron takes over the main baby duties.

And somehow still has time to max his enthusiasm in art.

Birthday time already!

I didn’t get a picture before her makeover, but I think she is adorable!

This is how the whole weekend went: Cameron worked on snapdragons, Riley talked to his girlfriend, and Camryn taught Yasmin her skills.

And then Cameron started a fire. Thank goodness for smoke detectors.

Me: For the first time ever, I saw a sim actually leave the fire. Riley picked up Yasmin and went outside by the mailbox instead of yelling and screaming at the fire.

And the week ends with Camryn up early teaching Yasmin to walk.

Points this round:

+3 for starting sims

+4 for added sims(Camryn, Temperence, Alan, Yasmin)

-3 for moved out sims(Nichole, Alan, Temperence)

+1 for hobby plaque(Cameron)

Which is with Aquamarine giving a bath to Danielle. She did most of the toddler rearing because she was a family sim, and Amethyst the fortune sim got an after school job.

Both Aquamarine and Amethyst spent most of the week looking like this though. Their fun bars would never go up, they were constantly tired, and the environment was a wreck (blame the nanny).

Aquamarine greeted a few walk-bys, including Margaret Turner (who she is now dating and who won’t leave the house) and she tried to have some fun playing kicky bag.

This is what the toddlers did most of the week when they weren’t sitting under Aquamarine screaming.

The teens both fell asleep in their food quite a few times. Maybe they should try to eat non spoiled food and they wouldn’t fall asleep.

Margaret, who still hasn’t left after being greeted on Monday, loves to play and talk to the toddlers. She helps out some at least.

The matchmaker came by on Thursday and dropped off a magic lamp. I had Aquamarine wish for peace of mine and wealth and Amethyst wish for peace of mind. They are now both platinum, so they don’t complain about their fun bars as much, although they still act grouchy because of it.

Finally it was time for the toddlers to grow up, first was Brigid.

Then Danielle.

Brigid, who I think is the cuter of the two pink girls.

And Danielle. Who I don’t like because she was the brattiest. I don’t know how the girls ended up with eyes that I deleted, I thought they would revert to default… I’ll have to check on that.

And finally Ariana, who was asleep when her sisters aged.

I definitely think she is the cutest.

Aquamarine got her first kiss from Margaret (I randomly set the hood to be bi, gay, or straight through the ACR and will go by that to determine what everyone is)

Here is another one of those headache pictures. This time it is Amethyst.

Rufus Busto came over to visit after school on Thursday and the young girls finally got high enough fun to do some homework.

Uh Oh. Who are all three of the triplets aiming their water balloons at?

Rufus of course! I think I might allow Brigid or Danielle to marry him later if they grow up into workable aspirations…

Amethyst and Aquamarine finally had time to do homework on Friday. This means neither will leave for college at the end of the week because their grades are so bad.

And of course right when everyone was finally doing homework all week a fight broke out on the porch.

Of course it is Meadow Thayer causing trouble.

The poor triplets just couldn’t get enough fun after school and resorted to playing in the tub.

And after finally getting everyone to sleep I hear the burglar music. I’ve never had a burglar in the game actually until this point.

I’m glad I had a burglar alarm though, but I was not happy that everyone got out of bed and then started complaining about being tired just to see the cop get beat by the burglar and she ran away. At least she didn’t steal anything.

These two became best friends by the end of the week while the other triplet was left on her own.

Aww. We end this week with Amethyst showing she can be a good family girl and tuck her sisters in.

Points this round:

5 for starting sims
