  • Chapter 8: Unlucky in love

    Hey there! Welcome back to the Boolpropian Olympic Challenge!

    Last time in this household, we had a lot of fun taking care of our little toddler, Oscar, who grew into a child at the end of the update. We had a bunch of parties as usual, and slowly worked on getting Brin’s skills up for out 100s goal.

    This time, we’re gonna be having some teen adventures as I try HSY and the follow to school option for the first time with Brin and Oakleigh! Also, more parties lol and more family fun~ let’s see how the family’s doing now:

    This was how the game welcomed me back lol. Game, there is not an infant in this household. There has never been a single infant in this household. Get it together game lol.

    But anyways, we start with the family being back from Oscar’s birthday party. Our little boy is looking very proud of himself for being all grown up~

    Also this picture makes me realize again how ridiculously slim Brinley is lol but again, she’s also so ridiculously pretty ❤

    Ah, we immediatly start with the funny sim shanenigans lol seriously is it possible to go through an update without a new Jokesters dynamics? Lol I kinda love it.

    For some reason Morgan had to give a speech uptown for her job, something that I find kinda weird for a social media Star, but hey, I’m definitely not one of those, so what do I know? Lol. Anyways, Morgan and Darling went to take care of that.

    Morgan needed to be funny with a bunch of people for her job, and Darling has to mentor some people for theirs. It was a quick and easy process for both of them.

    Back home, I decided to try the ‘cook together’ Activity because I always forget that it even exist, and when I remember it’s with a family that has a much too small kitchen to do it lol.

    It’s honestly such a cute feature. Matbe not the most efficient, but hey, who plays the sims to be efficient?

    Oh, I’m not dealing with this again! Go back into the house Brin!

    I am slightly traumatized after what happened with Dandelion in my 100 babies lol that was wild.

    Thankfully, that last go with the telescope was enough for Brin yo earn her Young scientist badge and complete scouts! Now we can focus in getting skills up from here onward.

    Darling is not impressed with me sending them to work today lol.

    Darling: “It’s winterfest! Why am I the only one who has to go out? I wanna decorate the tree!”

    I’m sorry! But you’ve had a want for a promotion for a while now and your working days are getting scarce now lol. Also sometimes I get overwhelmed when having so many sims in the house ay the same time lol I kinda love when kids go to school and give me a break.

    Besides, look at that! We got a good fame chance card and secured that promotion~ I was kinda hoping it would send Darling to top of the career, but I guess only entertainers get that chance lol. Still, I approve!

    And then Oakleigh and Oscar started decorating the tree while Brinley and Morgan prepared the Grand metal. I’m really liking cooking together ❤

    The tree was acting up on me today tho, for some reason they would start working on something for a while, and then move to the next without anything being added to the tree. I had to make them do everything twice before it was finally decorated lol.

    I think all the trouble with the tree got Oscar annoyed and he decided to decorate the house on his own way lol at least I can make him clean up afterwards.

    And after some effort, the tree was ready and the family joined around it to sing some songs. I love it when they do this ❤ it’s very cute.

    Así you can see, my game tells me that Darling is still at work…but they clearly are not lol drunk again Game?

    Darling: “I thought matbe You didn’t want me home at all! Seeing you all did the fin stuff without me already!”

    …Why are Sims always so dramatic?! We were even waiting for You before starting the party!

    Darling: “At this point that’s a given! We always have parties!”

    …They have a point, bit still! I was getting worried about how late they were from work. Give me some points? Lol.

    We had a dinner party just with Venessa and her daughters, because Winterfest is a time for family. I gotta say that I’m very happy that they finally made it so you can have goaled parties on the same days you have holidays~ it does help a lot for this challenge lol and also makes for better stories.

    Anyways, they all had dinner, opened presents together and then the teens played some games together, it was a fun evening.

    Also, somehow Darling and Morgan both got karaoke machines from the tree lol it was pretty epic, and while we’re not struggling with money anymore, that’s probably one of the better gifts I’ve ever gotten for winterfest, and I got it twice!

    Then it was time to meet Father Winter for the kids.

    I randomly noticed that Brinley had the option to ask Father Winter about his job, and I had a chuckle out of him working at “The Far North” lol it’s so obvious, but I thought it was funny.

    Surprisingly, Father winter gave us both an upgrade for our fridge AND stove! It’s even a matching set lol! I think the Fyres-Walsh are his favorites, I’ve never had such good luck for winterfest lol.

    And then it was at this point, at around 2AM, that I remembered the kids had school the next day lol so their parents help them complete the homework we were forgetting about lol.

    Thankfully we we’re able to finish in time and get the girls ready for school. I’m excited because this will be my first time trying the Follow to school option! Let’s see how we do!

    Also I gave Brinley and Oakleigh HSY outfits. CAS was the part of that pack that got me more excited back when it came out lol the clothes are so cute!

    Right before leaving for school, Morgan got a promotion! She’s doing great so far, I feel like matbe we finally got the career for her…maybe lol.

    Anyways, time to finally visit the Copperdale highschool and see how this works~

    Also, why do all kids wear the same two/three jackets? lol is it supposed to be some school spirit thing or something?

    Ah, look! Kids here al on top of their game already. They have dominated the art of T-posing for dominance lol.

    Yes I know I’m like a year late with that joke lol sorry, it just makes me laugh.

    The game said to go ask the principal about the school, so we did that first thing. The the girls claimed lockers and went to class together, which I find funny since Brinley is more than a week older than Oakleigh lol.

    Honestly I kinda like the interactive school, at least a lot more than I thought I would like it lol the classes are simple but I like having a place for the teens to be by themselves and interact with more teens.

    Also, Brinley got her first crush! Alfredo is quite cute, but he’s a looooool younger than her lol so I don’t think it’s gonna work out. Still, I really like the crushes feature.

    Wait, why do the other class gets the cute teacher? Look at him! That’s the kind of teacher people get crushes on! I feel robbed lol. I just had to say it.

    The school day ended and we went back home, where we moved immediatly to do another party~

    It’s a new one for me today! Morgan is organizing a Charity party since she has enough fame for it.

    It was honestly a very fun party to try! I’m not sure if Charisma helps with it, but since both Darling and Morgan had the skill maxed I didn’t have any trouble getting large donations. Except for the moment Venessa got really angry about being asked lol that was a surprise, I guess our girl Venessa isn’t big in whatever the cause it is we’re supporting lol.

    That little hiccup didn’t stop us from a Gold event tho, so great!

    And coming back home Morgan decided that she has been quite happy lately, so she’s a Cheerful sim now. I think this is the trait I’ve had my sims earn the most so far lol I guess I gotta be proud that I keep my sims happy.

    Random pic of Oscar recieving the pizza we ordered~ Just because I always forget about pizza so when I remember I have to buy one lol.

    And also because Morgan was a little busy to make dinner tonight lol apparently she had a little too much fun at the party and she came back histerical. We can’t risk that at this point in the challenge! We’re getting very close!

    Also I like Morgan a little too much to let her die like that lol.

    We followed the girls to school again today, and they both needed to work out before starting classes. Looks like Brinley had a hard time on the treadmill tho lol She may be in the way to become a clumsy sim once she grows up.

    Also, look! Oakleigh got her first crush now too! She has very good taste too, Savannah is really pretty.

    Saddly we quickly discovered that Savannah is not interested. I think it’s very cool that now we can have canonically ace and gay characters, but I feel for Oakleigh </3

    Savannah was very kind and accepted to go to prom as friends tho, so it was a nice ending for them.

    Lol this is one of those times I actually understand the Strict dynamic. Oscar has turned into quite the mess maker since he grew up, so I send Darling to tell him to stop and then this popped up. Let’s hope it helps keep him out of trouble lol.

    Lol this little girl got super intense about a chain letter. Needless to say, now Darling sends one to her every two days or so lol I just think it’s funny making enemies with a little girl.

    While his sisters are already having crushes and stuff, Oscar is also growing up very fast! Today he had his first lose tooth. I had him pull it out because I’ve found it’s the most convenient option lol if you leave it, it keeps getting them uncomfortable until it falls, and usually it takes a while. If you take it out they get uncomfortable for a couple hours, but then it stops lol.

    Trying to get Brinley a date for prom since Oakleigh has Savannah, I went ahead and invited Salvador over since they already had some pink bar. But turns out his preferences stayed at ‘none’ from when the LGBTQ+ mod made him arromantic lol I thought about cheating that out for him because I really liked them together…but I mean, Brinley is gonna meet lots of people still, she probsbly will find someone who is into her eventually.

    Later that night, I decided it was time to give Oscar a delayed birthday present. Our little boy grew up a Dog lover, and You guys now how much I love doggies, so Darling called the adoption agency~

    As usual, the game changed my initial plans lol I was gonna get Oscar a puppy because I felt it made sense to get a kid a puppy, but I had just watched a video about Greyhounds the day before I played this, and so when I saw this big, really long boy, I had to take him lol.

    So, welcome our newest family member~ following the Boolprop Sixteen naming scheme, I named him Legolas, I felt like his appearece does give kind of an elf vibe lol. He is very cute and very loved, and is Active, Loyal and a Glutton.

    I sent Morgan to publish a book and she decided to become Ambitious~ This is one of my favorite traits lately, I think it should help with her career now.

    Oscar meets Legolas ❤ and they immediatly become friends. Look at my super cute little boys~

    I don’t remember why I was looking around the beighborhood, but I had to share this picture lol the two types of people when it’s raining; either holding an umbrella and trying to get out of the rain asap, or standing with no rush and no umbrella lol. I’m usually the second one, I love rain.

    That day we threw the other Get famous party that I was missing: a Fan meet&greet~ we went to the Sulani bar this time so Brinley could comb the beaches for some treasure. So far her aspiration seems to work great without even living in Sulani, so I’m happy lol.

    It was another gold, we’re on a roll now~

    Random little moodlet of the day~ this one is cute lol I gotta spend more time at the beach.

    Next morning, Reynaldo, Dina’s son, comes Home before school and asks Brinley to go to prom with him as friends. We say yes, so now both girls have a date~ Just in time because Prom is tomorrow lol.

    Paka’a came that afternoon to give us a wooden statue as a gift. He then stayed and livestreamed some my sims racing with Morgan. As you can see, Legolas was very interested in the game lol.

    Also I gave Legolas a bowtie lol I loved how fancy and funny he looks with it.

    Oakleigh went outside to cook this food, that as far as I remember Darling left in the grill like… Two days ago lol! I’m kinda glad that grills don’t catch diré like they did in The sims2, but I also kinda miss the chaos lol.

    And then Prom came upon us, sorry for the random cut n change lol. Here’s a shot of their respective outfits, and I’m loving having an excuse for teens to use their formal wear from time to time lol.

    Rhings were very fun for the girls in general, even with Brin not having a date because Reynaldo ended up not even showing up, that’s not cool kid! At least Oakleigh and Savannah had a good night together.

    I think Brinley got her win by becoming the prom jester tho! That’s the first time one of my sims wins this! I am very proud~

    The girls were invited to the afterparty, but since this prom fell in New year’s eve, we prefered to go back home and see the countdown with the rest of the family. Watching the countdown is always my favorite part of this holiday ❤

    Just a couple more pics of our good boy later that night ❤ since he’s loyal he loves going up to sleep in Darling and Morgan’s bedroom. Loyal is probably my favorite pet trait<3

    Next morning, Darling mentors Oakleigh to try and get their job bar up a little bit more. We’re so close to that final promotion that I can almost taste it lol!

    Also, Legolas earns his first bath lol he’s not as naughty as other dogs I’ve had, so this actually took longer than I thought lol.

    He such a happy pup ❤ he makes me happy.

    I’ve been slacking a little bit on Morgan’s aspiration (because honestly, she already completed two lol) but she’s been getting lots of “play the guitar” wants lately, so we keep working on getting her skill to level 9 so she can start writting songs.

    Oh, looks like out last thunderstorm took out the toddler gym lol those things are dangerous for sure.

    … Seriously. We have no infants lady! We don’t need you!! Why does she keeps calling? lol!

    Anyways, I bought a treehouse to put in place of the gym, and Darling and Oscar got to work on it right away~

    With some pauses to give love to Legolas of course ❤

    And then we threw the party of the day~ An easy and simple house party for today because I didn’t feel like going out. Besides, I think we have all the parties done at this point aside from family reunions and baby showers, and those are gonna have to wait until the kids are older.

    Lol! I love how I just said that Legolas wasn’t as naughty as other dogs, and here we have him rolling around in a pee puddle, again lol! At least he quickly learnt to stop doing that, so he should be needing a lot less baths now lol.

    Hey! I bought some training equipment for Legolas thinking Brin could train him for the skill, but I didn’t know he would use it on his own! Cool, very cool~

    I love you Legolas ❤

    Next day we have both of our younger kids coming home with Bs! nnot bad at all. Brin is already an A student, but she’s quite older than them lol.

    We also have Morgan bringing us a promotion! I love that her new title is Cat video creator lol specially since we have a dog instead of a cat.

    Surprisingly, all of the girls brought home friends from school that day, so I decided not to throw a party and instead let all the teens hang out.

    Well, Oscar and Oakleigh hung out with their friends lol Brinley came back in a mood swing and had to go take a couple jogs before she could talk to Salvador.

    Next day while the kids were at school, Geekcon was back in town~ so I sent Morgan and Darling to try the gaming competition again~

    Well, Morgan tried the ultimate gaming test, where she got a much better score than last time and even got some prizes, but we’re still working on getting her skill up.

    Darling meanwhile was dealing with a Fear of crowded places that they got during last party. That was a new one, and fortunately an easy one to get rid off. They just needed to tell some jokes around in a public space.

    Oh, look, another Cheerful sim lol! Seriously this is the most common trait for me now lol.

    Ah, look, now we don’t only get random toddlers when we load into lots, now there’s random infants too lol what’s up with that?

    We threw another weenie roast after coming home, and hey, we only had a fire once lol! At least these parties are making me a little more comfortable with fires so I don’t get paranoid lol.

    Also, this time the party was kinda bugged I think. No matter what I did it wouldn’t check off any of the goals aside from the main one lol. At least completing that main goal got us the gold in the party, otherwise I would’ve riot lol!

    Brinley woke up early morning to get into the “rebellious phase” lol she’s such a bad girl…doing her homework!

    Morgan works on making some upgrades to the treehouse that I somehow had missed existed lol she’s installing a bell…somehowshe does it banging on the lower part of the tree instead of up where the bell ends up being, but you know #SimsLogic lol.

    Lol! I caught the principal playing the sims in the school computer. I love it, she’s one of us!

    Oakleigh got invited to prom as friends again. I said yes because we have no reason to say no, Oakleigh haven had anymore crushes and prom as friends is my type of night~

    Brinley isn’t gonna have to worry about anymore prom dates tho, because we reached a very important party to end th eday today!

    IIt’s Brin’s birthday party!

    Again, I think it was bugged somehow this time, I invited a lot of people as usual, but nobody showed up, which made me kinda sad because this is probably one of the most important party we have thrown. *sighs* Sims always ruining my plans.

    But anyways, I guess the family wanted to keep this one just between them? The party was successful anyways, and after some jokes and dancing, Brinley finally blew her candles into young adulthood~

    Apparently, she also graduated Valedictorian! That’s my first, can’t wait to see what that does lol!

    But anyways, I gave our girl a young adult makeover, and I’m in loooooove with her! She’s still ridiculously slim, but I think now that she’s all grown up she doesn’t look lanky anymore. As usual, loving my smaller teens mod lol.

    This is where I stopped playing since it semed like the perfect closure for the chapter, but I have a couple more pics before leaving you today!

    This is an update on where Brinley’s skills are right now! In case you didn’t wanna count, I did it myself; Brinley is currently at 58 points! That’s already more than halfway! I think we’ll have no problem completing the 100 by the time we finish the parties!

    And speaking of the parties, we’re officially ten away from our final goal! 40/50! I think I’m gonna take my time with those last 10 parties tho, I really want to try the Baby shower and Family reunion before we’re done with the challenge.

    Anyways, next chapter we should be having Oscar turning into a teen, and me deciding if I’m gonna be sending Brin to Uni or have her get a job right away, I’m still not 100% sure of my decision there lol. Probably some more parties, and just lots of family time.

    I’ll try not to take too long to come back! Thanks as usual for reading, and happy simming!

  • Chapter 7: Oscar is the star of the show

    Hey there guys! Welcome to a new chapter of my Boolprop Olympics challenge!

    I gotta apologize lol I’ve literally had this pictures ready since last year, literally more than a year ago lol. I stopped simming a blogging for a while, and I’m just now getting back in track with my updates. Good thing is, I’m only missing this one, and another update from my ISBI, and I’ll be officially all in post-infant updates! Yeah I’m really loving infants lol they’re so much fun.

    Anyways! Last time I decided to have Darling and Morgan have another baby, and we ended up with the first boy of the family! Little Oscar. We enjoyed life with our teenage heiress, and also had Oakleigh joining her after her birhday at the end of the update! Other than that, tons of skilling, tons of parties, and tons of fun! Three things I think we’re also gonna be having in this update!

    Now, bare with me a little because, again, it’s been a while since I played this lol let’s hope I remember more of less what were doing. Let’s find out now!

    We start the update with a couple cute little shots of our little Oscar being all adorable ❤ Gosh, I’ll never have enough of toddlers.

    And specially I’ll never have enough of toddler’s cute little moodlets! I never play with the big playgym so this moodlet took me vy surprise ❤ it’s so adorable.

    Oscar wasn’t the only birthday last chapter, here we have our beautiful Oakleigh on one of her everyday outfits ❤ I really love this girl.

    Geek con came around while the girls were at school, so I randomly decided to send Darling and Morgan out to it since they were both home. Thankfully it wasn’t raining today!

    I also randomly decide to have them enter the gaming competition, and of course it didn’t went great for them lol! I love how they both scored the same in everything, and it wasn’t good lol! But hey, we had fun.

    And we went back home and got this extremelly adorable pic of Oakleigh being the best big sister ❤ I just adore reading to toddlers, I love books, I love my sims loving books too.

    We have people over for another party! Poor Brinley doesn’t look too happy that she has to complete her homework before joining the fun lol I don’t blame her, but I want her to have good grades!

    Oscar on the other hand is really enjoying being part of the group ❤ shout out for him being probably my only toddler to actually use his party outfits lol!

    I think having Salvador over made things a little easier to Brinley at least. Even if he didn’t look too excited about it today lol sims can be so moody.

    Anyways, small montage of the party! This one was specially becase Morgan managed to max the Cooking skill during it! Congrats Morgan!

    And Darling also kept working on her voodoo on poor Mark lol He didn’t seem to mind too much this time though. He was distracted leaving us a painting, I appreaciate that!

    Maybe I’ll have Darling voodoo someone else next time lol.

    I don’t remember what I was moving around at this point, but somehow I ended up erasing the door to the kids room lol! I was super confused about why my sims couldn’t go help Oscar skill, until I finally noticed lol! I’m sorry Oscar!

    Lol the original Darling from this savefile married Wolfgang and they are having a baby.

    I’m actually curious about their babies, I like Wolfgang, and I like he’s a werewolf so… good for them lol.

    Checkin on Brinley’s skills so far~ she’s doing amazing! I love how easy to level up the cooking skill is lol but she’s really liking Fitness and Comedy so far too.

    Lol watching sims eat spicy food is one of my favorite things lol I love how unbothered Oakleigh is. She just thinks her parent is beign dramatic lol.

    Also let’s point out that Oakleigh is not eating spicy food lol smart kid.

    Darling: “Don’t put chili into that food Brinley. Please.”

    Brinley: “I’m just making a garden salad, abba.”

    Darling: “With more reason!”

    Also I was looking at non-binary ideas for parent terms and Abba was the one that I felt right with Darling. I think it sounds quite cute!

    Anyways, Darling’s encounters with spice food aside, Morgan got another promotion on her new career! Congrats Morgan!

    She needed to check in at a gym for her tasks that day if I remember correctly, so I sent her to Del Sol Valley’s gym, where she was mentored by alternate reality Darling when she decided to work out lol! I love having both versions around.

    It wouldn’t be an update from me including a toddler without at least one bathtime picture ❤ It may be because I was really missing having a little kid around this house, but I admit I have a soft spot for Oscar lol I’m probably gonna save him to use in another legacy once he grows up.

    Oh cool! I’ve been trying to go more with my sims’ wants to avoid the Fear of unfulfilled dreams, and they get this nice little moodlet! I love that!

    I’m working on the expansions to the house I wanted to make now that we have a little more money, and today we’re making a fake garage! We don’t have cars and so don’t really need garages in the game, but I honestly love to add them and then use them for other stuff around.

    Anyways, I put the garage door and then had the girls make a mural on it! I love this object so much!

    Salvador came to visit and I sent Morgan to invite him in since we’re having a party today (as usual lol) and boooy did he looked uncomfortable hanging out with her lol. I mean, I guess hanging out with your crush’s parents must be pretty stressing, but I thought it was funny lol!

    The mural is complete! It looks awesome! perfect to bring some color to the building! Also, people are ready for the party!

    I invited a bunch of teens again, I want the girls to have tons of friends. And things worked great for the party. I think I’m really getting the hang of this! I’m very proud of myself for that lol I never used to throw parties in this game.

    We did get to this dumb moment we’re the LGBTQ+ mod decided to act up on me and turned Salvador aromantic randomly *facepalms* as you can see down there, he wasn’t aromantic, they already had some pink going!

    I really want to try that mod again sometime, it is really cool, but for now, I ended up taking it out lol.

    Another day, another moment of me loving Oscar ❤ this kid is the cutest.

    Morgan had to livestream for her job if I remember correctly, so we get it done! I think this may be her chose career. It really suits her so far!

    Also, I want her to get better at videogaming so we can try the geek con contest again lol new personal goal: win that tournament!

    I had Brinley collect the badges she has obtained so far, we’re moving up on the scouts! she’s doing pretty amazing!

    She also decided that she likes Cooking while cooking the family’s Grand meal for Harvesfeast next morning! Makes sence, considering she’s already halfway into the skill lol.

    The whole family enjoying their grand meal ❤ I even had Oakleigh setting the table and pulled out a chair so Oscar could join. It was a pretty cute moment.

    Okey, I literally settled Darling’s sexual and romantic attraction manually, and the mod decided to make them aromantic randomly too lol wth? Also, they are married! How can Darling not be interested on their wife, who they have three kids with lol?

    Ok I’ll stop ranting about the mod now lol it was a weird time.

    Oscar is the little spoiled baby as usual ❤ Everyone is always spending time with him.

    We took a little break from that to visit Sulani again. Brinley needed to comb the beach for her aspiration, which I’m still trying to complete without moving to Sulani just for the funsies lol. I took Oakleigh along so she could meet some people, but we didn’t have much luck with meeting teens.

    We did see this really handsome man walking around tho. I like taking pictures when I see a sim I consider attractive lol and he looks f-i-n-e!

    Then we moved to the party of the night, which we decided to randomly throw in Diego Lobo’s apartment, totally forgetting that everytime I try this we end up getting kicked out while trying to make food lol!

    The party earned a gold though, so I’m counting it lol!

    And then I finally remembered to buy Morgan the Always welcome trait lol that should make a difference for us.

    Brinley keeps working out on her free time. She’s getting pretty buff already, It’s kinda funny with how small and lean she is lol.

    Family dinner ❤ while Morgan is working on another book.

    …Oakleigh… How were you not aware that YOUR PARENTS are married? WTH?!

    Oakleigh: “Well, they being together doesn’t mean they are married!”

    …Touché… Morgan, you gotta talk more to your kids. Jesus Christ.

    Morgan: *keeps writting*

    I’m not gonna complain about that because she wrote her first bestseller after that lol but still… what the hell game? lol!

    She also tried her hand at a novice games tournament and actually got third place! She’s getting better lol.

    I’ve had this game for years now and I’ve never had a sim win tournaments, so it’s nice to give myself an excuse to try this stuff.

    The girls are outside working on their badges~ it’s always busy at the Fyres household~

    It’s been a while since I last played the critic career, I didn’t remember this trait being a thing! That’s a cool extra, even if she didn’t maxed the career in the end lol.

    Aaaaand we have a maxed skill for Darling! Now I can concentrate on getting their Mischief up to complete their aspiration! We don’t get points or anything, but nice extra!

    Also as you can see up there, I finally built the rest of the garage and started furnishing it! I decided I wanted to make it a party room, and I got the family a couple of kegs so we can try our hand at the keg parties!

    I still want to decorate it a bit more, maybe get a dancing floor and a couple windows around, but we ran out of money lol. For now, this will do.

    So we went ahead and tried the keg party for the first time! This was a good one, I had a lot fo fun having the family trying the keg stan lol everybody drank and danced and even tried the karaoke, so I think my party room was a success! I’m gonna keep doing these parties lol They’re one of my favorites now.

    I do think it’s good that I waited until the girls were older to throw them tho lol they can get into the fun that way.

    Also, Oakleigh got a new like during the party lol I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, huh? lol.

    I’m very excited about playing this family after the self-discovery update and all that stuff ❤ I gotta go back into this save soon.

    We were having the party over at the garage room, but the living room still ended up covered in dirty plates lol that’s probably the hardest part about throwing so many parties.

    Lol! I love it when parents get this moodlet! It makes sence, it’s been a while since the last time they had a toddler lol And Morgan is an adult now and everything.

    More skills to gain~ Handiness is always a good one to get!

    More pics of Oscar being the spoiled baby because I love him ❤ toddlers are the best.

    Oakleigh made and sold a bunch of paintings for scouts and ended up with a fame star lol good for you Oakleigh!

    I wanted a calm night that day, so today’s party was just a cute family Dinner party with Venessa and her daughters. I still really like the friendship between both families.

    And then Morgan spends the night jamming away on her guitar since I had been forgetting to have her play lol.

    As you may notice, I am now forgetting to have someone clean that grill lol but I eventually get to it.

    This family just adores eating their food sitting by the pool lol it’s not that I blame them, pools are awesome, but c’mon girls! I bought you a picnic table and everything!

    Oscar, I love you ❤ and I still love that sims can sit on the cooler lol.

    … The what houshold move in? lol Are they ghosts or something? Spies~?

    Cute baby boy is cute working on her skills, and cute big sis Oakleigh works on her Good deeds badge too~

    And meanwhile Darling does more mentoring to increase her chances to get promoted~ Brinley can use the little extra push anyways~

    And then some bonding over homework for the teens~ that now decide to use the picnic table… at night. But hey, small victories lol.

    Morgan decided that she wants to freeze to death today… You’re not done with this challenge Morgan! Out on some warm clothes!

    She does and then she goes inside to work on her work tasks, and while doing it she finally makes the final friends she needs to complete Friend of the World!! Man, two down for Morgan and I’m still procastinating with Darling lol I better get serious with that.

    Anyways, Friend of the World actually gives one of my favorite reward traits lol now Morgan doesn’t have to worry about frienships falling off anymore, which is great for a sim that’s so outgoing.

    I was about to say I had no idea what aspiration I gave next, but past Salem saved me this time by taking this screenshot of her now working on Musical Genius lol It makes sence I gave her this one since honestly it’s the one I always thought she had lol!

    And immediatly after last pic we went back home because of rampaging werewolves lol! I love them, but I wasn’t dealing with them today.

    I was gonna plan today’s party and I saw we have this as an option now! I always forget these ones exist lol! But I gotta remember to plan one~ as you can see, we have a gold in basically all the other parties so far, so we’re very close to my goal.

    Brinley is gonna have to have at least one kid once she’s heiress so I we can get a Gold baby shower now that I think about it. More things to put on the list~

    Anyways~ for now, we threw a normal house party tonight and everything went great!

    Brinley and her friends sneaked out to the juice kegs and tried and failed a keg stan though lol that was funny, I hope it wasn’t too painful.

    I think Morgan got this fame star from playing guitar during the party~ whatever it was, congrats Morgan!

    And then birthday time for best boy came up! Darling is giving him a bath before we go out for his birthday party~

    As usual, here are some pics of the party on a presentation~ I threw it again on this little family park that I dowloaded because I really like it, and everyone had fun playing around and grilling food~ and of course, Oscar blew his candles into childhood!

    And here we have him all grown up! Again, I’m in love, this kid has my heart ❤ He grew up with the Dog lover trait, so we may be having a pet in our future~? And he’s a Rambunctious Scamp just like both her sisters lol I think Darling’s genes are very strong!

    And here is where I stopped playing, so we’re gonna be stopping here for today! Good thing about writting these posts it’s that I get excited about my families, so I’ll probably be playing them soon! Let’s hope I bring you another update very soon *winks*

    For now, I hope you had fun with us! Take care everyone, and happy simming!

  • Chapter 6: Experimenting

    Hey there! Sorry for the long silence with the Fyres family!

    I gotta be honest, I realized (again) something while trying to complete this summer sims challenge: I suck at timed challenges! I should remember this since I don’t even like time-limited events in games or timed-based boardgames *facepalms*. I love this family and I’m having a lot of fun with them,  but the idea of playing them that much, in that short time, it started to get me cranky with no reason lol so in the end I decided to take a break from sims, and eventually I decided I’m gonna let SummerSims go and just finish this as I can. It’s still on my high priority list tho, I wanna try to finish some of my shorter challenges before I impulsively start another one lol but we’ll see which one gets finished first lol. I already have played another full update for this one, so it’s in a good place lol.

    But anyways, rambly explanations aside and all that, I think it’s time to go and see how the Fyres-Walsh family is doing today~ so let’s jump into the game, shall we?

    We start right where we left last time, just finishing with Brinley’s birthday party and guest starting to leave~

    The party left us behind a broken stereo, which doesn’t surprises me as it’s probably the most used item in the house lol, so Morgan quickly repairs it while Brinley cleans around a little.

    *sighs* she’s so pretty~ I’m very happy about our heiress y’all, I hope we can have some fun with her.

    Speaking of fun, I decided what i want to do with Brinley for our 100 hurdle. I wanted something that wasn’t too repetitive or easy but that we could manage to finish around the same time we finish those 50 parties we already need, so I finally chose:

    Earning 100 skill points! There are dozens of  possible skills to try and we can tailor her skilling as she starts liking and disliking stuff, so I said, why not? She’s already doing a great job earning her first and second Fitness points here~

    Aaaand this is the moment I remember that Morgan decided she doesn’t like painting anymore lol damn, this is gonna make her career a pain… Yes, I’m probably gonna have change carrera again lol I kinda like the idea her trying a lot of stuff out while she finds her true calling, if she ever does lol.

    Cooking is one of the easiest skills to level up, so of course, Brinley is now in charge of the meals~ she gets started with a nice, easy garden salad.

    The free time leaves her parents with some extra time to themselves, so they finally fullfill a whim Darling had about making out with Morgan.

    Aaaand then we also worked on fullfilling another whim~ one involving making this family a little bigger~

    We’re having another baby! This time Darling is the one having it, because it felt fair after Morgan had the last two. You guys know I love big families, and I honestly toddlers always make things more fun, so why not? lol maybe this time we’ll pull a redhead from Morgan’s genetics~ we’ll see.

    And as said before, we allowed Morgan a change in career parts. I decided to try my hand a  the Salaryperson career since I haven’t played it yet, and I’ve had the pack for a while now lol.

    She had a daily task to fill reports, I think, so she takes care of that asap.

    Darling, you probably don’t want to really eat that lol. I gotta say I’m kinda impressed we have spoiled food tho, with all the parties we throw usually not even the food I leave out of the fridge gets to spoil before being eaten lol.

    There, that’s better. Nothing like grilled burgers on a sunny afternoon, by the pool! These two are trully living their best life lol.

    …Or something like that at least lol Poor Darling, they’re having a rougher pregnancy than any of Morgan’s were. Thankfully they’ll only be going through this once! watch me randomly decide to have six kids lol.

    Anyways, with another baby on the way, I decided to expand the upstairs a little and add a small room for Brinley to move into. Oakleigh will take the loft bed downstairs and that way I can get the toddler stuff back in that room.

    Brinley’s room is pretty bare and small right now, but I think it gets the job done just fine! Also with Morgan changing careers and all that, we don’t exactly have a lot of money lol.

    Also since Darling can’t really workout a lot now, they take the opportunirty to mentor Morgan instead. Morgan keeps getting a lot of work out whims for some reason, I hope she’s not getting self-conscious about her weight or anything, she’s just one of my favorite premades ❤

    At this point I ended up deciding to try my hand at Lumpinous LGBTQIA+ mod out of curiosity. I gotta say I looooove this mod! I’ve always been a fan of “all sims are pansexual” basically, but this just gives it a little extra personality to them! I’m having fun so far!

    I manually setted Daarling and Morgan’s stuff because headcanons lol but I had Brinley ponder her preferences, and she decided that she’s straight!

    I gotta admit that a big part of why I decided to use the mod was because I’m really loving Brinley and Monique’s relationship, and I wasn’t totally sure if I wanted them to stay as friends or become something more, so now I can know what Brinley wants!

    And so this will be keep as a beautiful friendship. I adore Monique ❤ she even started helping Oakleigh with her homework all on her own!

    We move to the party for today, a black and white bash! This time just at home because I’m still annoyed you can’t do these ones in the San Myshuno Art Gallery… it’s like the perfect place to throw one of these!

    Anyways, we manage a quick gold party! that’s 26/50!

    Also I invited some teens around to see if they catch Brinley’s eye for later lol you may recognize them, on the left we have Dina’s kid Reynaldo, and on the right Geoffrey’s boy Elliot!

    Brinley didn’t seem to like any of them a lot tho, but we tried lol.

    Also, I almost died laughing when in the middle of the party Venessa’s kid Alma decided to grow up, into an almost perfect copy of her mother lol they really have the same hairstyle now! Alma is a little bit paler than Venessa, but I think that’s the only difference lol.

    Next morning, I don’t remember if I mentioned but Oakleigh is now working on the Artistic prodigy aspiration, so Morgan takes some time to encourage her for the first tier.

    And then is baaaack to repairing the dryer… why do this thing keeps breaking so much??

    Seriously Darling is having a terrible time with pregnancy lol and I’m having fun with it but shhhh.

    Oakleigh on the other hand, is having a much better day~ it took her a longer time to get her A than it took to Brinley, she has always been more interested in art than study.

    The two of thwm are still very close tho, they share their love for sports after all!

    Since Darling needs to mentor for work and Brinley needs to earn skills for the challenge, we hit two birds with one stone! Also, I really love my smaller teens mood ❤ look at how tiny and cute Brinley looks with her parent~

    And then it was party time~ Brinley needs to throw a gold Kava party for aspiration purposes, so we did it in location to shake things around~

    As soon as we got there Brinley rolled a whim to build a sand sculpture, so she does that with Monique’s help. They made a cute little turtle ❤ I love it.

    Anyways, after adding some random stuff to the lot as always, the party went pretty great! I enjoyed playing around with the DJ booth, I think it’s one of those objects I don’t use nearly enough!

    With this Brinley got one thing checked out from her aspiration milestone, so yay for progress!

    We decided to keep the ball rolling~ My secret reason to throw the party here was that I remembered Brinley needed to eat a coconut for the aspiration, so she buys a couple before going back home~

    Where Oakleigh keeps chugging away at her aspiration with some violin music~ that I still wonder why never gets any better lol.

    Morgan was chatting on her computer and she completed another milestone of her new aspiration! Since she has maxed Charisma ages ago, she nos just needs a couple more Friends to be done with this! *Proceeds to procastinate on making said friends lol seriously*

    Next morning, Brinley gets the last part of her first aspiration milestone out of the way by getting a tan.

    She ended up looking real pretty afterwards ❤ and she now needs to beachcomb for her aspiration, so more trips to Sulani in our future!

    Darling got a promotion! They now need some more fitness for the next one. Two more levels, but thankfully as you can see, level 7 is just like 5% from done lol. Sadly, since Darling is pregnant they can’t get fitness right now, so we have to wait to get it done.

    Thankfully (again) baby #3 should be here very soon!

    With tons of skillpoints to earn, Brinley starts learning Handiness by repairing the toilet. It’s not a very good one, so it breaks aaaaaall the time, but at least is usefull for this lol.

    She then goes outside to greet the guests that are coming home for the next party~ I still laugh everytime I see Venessa and Alma together lol they’re identical!

    I invited a bunch of teens for the girls to make friends, and also for Brinley to get her moves on~ this guy here is Salvador, I have no idea how Morgan knows him, but he’s good-looking so let’s see if Brinley likes him too.

    I didn’t take many pictures of this party, but here we have Leila and Oliana having a party games session with Morgan and Darling. I like to think it’s a couples competition lol.

    OMG, is it just me or Brinley looks like she’s blushing un this picture? lol I’m glad to know she’s liking Salvador, I like him too. They kept flirting the whe party and got me reaaaaaally distracted lol

    So distracted that I was looking for their first kiss picture, and while doing that the party ended and I didn’t take a screenshots of that! And while panicking because the party was ending, didn’t talso get a good picture of the kiss! Thanks kids…

    I know realized I could’ve take the screenshot of the Gold party from the notifications menu… But it’s been like two in-game weeks since that party and I didn’t do it, sorry lol but Nyways, we got another party done!

    Since scouting aptitude is one of the best reward traits kids can get, and scouts in general mean lots of skilling, I got both Brinley and Oakleigh Signed for it~ it’s been a while since I last played scouts actually lol.

    Brinley starts earning badges right away with some food grilling, since we hace no fishing spots or frog logs near the house for her to use. It’s good that this family always needs more food tho lol seriously parties drain your fridge fast! Also I love that we have so many new recipes lately! Watching sims Cook has been one of my favorite activities since the first Game for some reason lol.

    While we wait for Darling’s pregnancy to finish, they take some time to work on their aspiration because as usual I’ve been slacking lol. Chief of mischief is honestly such an easy aspiration, but I suck at remembering to have my Sims be mischievous so it always takes me ages lol.

    Another new skill for Brinley: wellness! I really enjoy this skill honestly, it’s fun to see Sims doing yoga.

    And there’s the notification I’ve been waiting for!! Time to meet our newest baby~ I’m ready to have toddlers again in this household ❤ I love me some big families.

    So we went to the hospital for the birth, and as usual, Morgan is panicking lol meanwhile Darling looks more worried about their wife than anything.

    Darling: “Sweetheart, you do remember this is our third kid, right? You know how this work, it’s fine!”

    Morgan: “Yeah! But I had the last two!! I don’t know how to be the parent that’s not giving birth yo the kids!!”

    Darling (who has no right to talk because they also panicked for the last two births): “Relax! Just relax and it’ll be over soon!”

    And then Morgan went and played games on the computer to ‘relax’ lol! But hey, at least she chose the computer in the same room Darling’s giving birth in!

    Which probably caused her to remember what was happening moments later and she went back to panic lol I think Darling probably doesn’t even know what they prefer right now lol!

    Bit anyways, other than Morgan being dramatic the birth went without a hitch, and we have a boy! Yay~ I randomly decided to name him Oscar, and I bet he’s gonna be adorable, and also 100% spoiled! I can’t wait ❤

    Then we went back home, where Darling shared a moment with little Oakleigh.

    Oakleigh: “So, you had the baby?”

    Darling: “Yes, he’s upstairs.”

    Oakleigh: “Cool.”

    ????

    And then she went and broke the shower! WTH kid?

    I mean, at least it gives Brinley more chances to earn Handiness, but why?

    Oakleigh: “I didn’t want a baby brother.”

    … well don’t take it out on my house! We’re still too poor to afford replacing stuff and I still wanna complete some building projects before buying better stuff!

    So she was sent to keep working on her aspiration. I took the pic like this to show she had already finished her five drawinga and only needed to max the skill, but I later realized that I had her draw shapes twice instead of an animal, so we take care of that later.

    Oscar needed attention and Brinley was the closest person since Darling and Morgan were downstairs eating, so she takes care of the baby~ I still think it sucks that teens can’t earn Parenting skill btw, makes no sence!

    Morgan followed on her daughter’s footsteps and broke the laptop… At least she didn’t do it because she didn’t want another baby lol.

    Morgan: *is confused.*

    Later, since it was the weekend and sunny, I decide to test my luck and go for another weenie roast for today’s party. Brinley is again in charge of food, so she grills some delicious looking steaks for the guests~ and now I’m hungry… Thanks game.

    Marshmallows were had~ honestly, Even with the fire risk these things are, I really like them… It’s fun to use them.

    Sadly, this party ends up just with a silver because it took me a while to find out how to make guests roast marshmallows/sausages. But hey, we had zero fires today, so it’s still a success in my books!

    Also, damn! How many sims can you fit around a fire pit? lmao! I’m really glad there was no fire today, every sim that’s there kept throwing logs into the pit between conversations and I was getting anxious lol.

    I bought the girls a telescope so they can both work on the young scientist badge. I’m very glad that telescopes are back in the game<3 I love the observatory (specially because it’s a woohoo spot lol) but this family is too poor to afford one so this is a nice compromise.

    It also makes for some pretty good shots like this one, I really liked it! It’s only missing a shooting star or something in the sky.

    Brinley is really the best big sister ❤ she’s always the first to get to Oscar when he needs something. It’s nice because it leaves Darling time to catch up on their skills.

    I also think she’s warming up Oakleigh to little Oscar, it’s just a matter of time, Oakleigh Will love him.

    Morgan and Oakleigh are giving an impomptu concert before Morgan starts her new job ❤ it was a cute moment.

    And Oscar also gets a morning cuddleveight before work ❤ this is one of the few tims Morgan interacts with baby Oscar lol seriously Brinley takes care of him half of the time.

    Morgan got this event at work and I took the choice to stay late because like ..we know that’s the right choice lol I’ve played a loooot of Don’t get fired lol but it actually made her come back home like 3 in-game hours later… So I’m guessing this is quite a time-comsuming career and it’s probably not gonna work out for us.

    Morgan: “You put a music lover into a corporative job. Of course it wasn’t going to work.”

    Hey, plenty of people can be happy with an office job and loving music! I know I’d be happy with an office job! But I work reatail so basically anything is better than that lol.

    On a happier note, Brinley got an A in high school! Congrats Brinley! Also, Oakleigh is sad for some reason.

    Oakleigh: “I didn’t get a high school A today.”

    …Well, yeah, because you’re in elementary. Also You already have an A in elementary so it’s not a big deal!

    Brinley gets  hold of the easel, which is good because it’s been a little forgotten since Morgan decided she doesn’t like painting anymore *sighs in almost maxed career*

    Speaking of Morgan an careers, I made her quit the salaryperson career as soon as she was back home lol the long hours don’t really work with our party needs, so I put her into Social Media now. We’ll see if she likes  this one! It’s a fun one, I remember loving it back when Nina had it in my Name Game.

    Also, what the hell are you wearing girl?! 

    Morgan: “It was a crazy night out with the office guys. It was fun.”

    Oh, it’s nice you had fun then. I would’ve let you into that career, but seriously the late nights are no joke. We’re already like 3 hours late for tonights party, and it’s an important one!

    It’s a Birthday party! Specifically, it’s Oakleigh’s time to become a teen! She will be able to get that high school A she wanted today.

    It was a pretty standard birthday party. Brinley spent some time chatting with Reynaldo, though I still think I like Salvador a little more, while Oakleigh seems to be becoming friends with his sister Juliette, and everyone has some fun all around.

    Darling also took the chance to be mischievous lol They’re at that point on the aspiration when they have to do voodoo, so we linked their doll to Mark Eggleston back there because they already had a tiny red bar somehow, so nothing to lose lol

    And then Oakleigh blowed her candles and became a teen! Happy birthday Oakleigh!

    I think she’s a very good mix of her parents, and she’s rocking the short hair! I love her already ❤

    And se finished the party soon after with another gold! Yay for progress~!

    Just as the party was ending, we also got the last notification I was waiting for the night, it’s also Oscar’s birthday!  And I find it funny that he and Oakleigh share a birthday after she didn’t want a sibling lol.

    But anyways, happy birthday baby!

    Here we have him all grown up! He’s such a handsome boy, even if I’m a little dissapointed that he also didn’t get Morgan’s hair, but hey, he’s beautiful! He’s also Clingy, as you can expect from a youngest kid lol I love him already.

    And the last picture of the day is of Oakleigh after her makeover~ She’s still rocking the short hair, I really likes how it looks on her, even tho it makes her look even more like Darling lol but hey, it will never be as bad as Venessa and Alma lol.

    I think I failed to mention it before, but her newest trait is Loves the outdoors and she got the Mt. Komorebi sightseer aspiration. It’s a shame she’s not the heiress because I haven’t tried that aspiration so far, and I love Mt. Komorebi lol.

    Anyways, I’ll have more than enough time to try the aspiration later, and I’m still super happy with Brinley as our future leader, so the show will go on~ but later, I think it’s time to let you go *winks* I hope you had fun with our dear family, and I’ll see you soon with the next party adventure!

    Happy simming!

  • Chapter 5: The halfway point

    Hey guys! It’s time to try to do the final SimNaNo update for this year! I still feel a little dissapointed that I had to cut my picture goal a little short, but this was a very busy month and I’m cutting it close as it is, so nothing to do about it lol I still made some good progress on the goals I inicially set, so I consider this a win since I was working like 55 hours a week this month lol.

    Anyways, last time we celebrated some birthdays for Darling and Oakleigh. We also finally managed our gold Kava party and did some job progress~ Today, the main goal is to make it all the way to Brinley’s teen birthday, and I’m very excited to know how she’s gonna look, so let’s just get started!

    We start the day with a cute pic of Oakleigh giving mom a flower, because it’s love day~

    As usual I want to complete goals aearly so we can end the holiday, but we’ll see how things go.

    Also as usual, my kids don’t manage to have a good love day at school… Seriously in all my saves/families I’ve had like… Three kids succed on these things! At this point it’s ridiculous lol. Also at this point I don’t even expect diferent from them… This is getting sad lol or annoying.

    Now with all their skills at the right point, Darling gets their level 6 promotion! They now need another level of Fitness skill for the next one lol so time to get back to work.

    But work later, because Love day comes first ❤ these two are just so adorable together and I love them. Still very happy that I chose them as my couple for this.

    Looks like the love in the air put bosses in the mood to give promotions! Not complaining~ Morgan is a little higher on her career than Darling, because that level 8 fitness really slowed us down.

    Aaaand the girls are back home from school and Brinley now has an A! Very proud of that ❤

    Aldo, now that kids are back home and I finished with their parents’ work stuff for today, I think it’s time to complete the Date goal for the holiday!

    So we took a quick travel to My restaurant Ondinas for some late lunch/early dinner~ I’m still very proud of this restaurant btw…

    Apparently love day was in the air today, because I saw some of the other costumers and workers giving eachother flowers, it was pretty cute. Also the date went pretty great as usual and we scored a gold and a completed tradition~

    I gotta admit that this time we had a very weird problem where food was taking a long time and I realized that it was because the chefs were randomly frozen outside… But somehow they just went back to normal when I got the camera on them? lol? Maybe they just wanted to become internet famous, so there you got it chefs. Everything else went great!

    Also, since the game has been considering festivals and other random events as social events for the aspiration, this date actually completed Morgan’s aspiration! That was unexpected, this is my second time playing this aspiration and actually my first one completing it!

    I gave her Friend of the world next, since she already has a lot of friends and Charisma maxed, that should be easy to complete.

    Anyways, with the date completed and me wanting a quiet and calm night to end the day, I randomly decide to sent the family to Mt. Komorebi for a quick retreat.

    While Oakleigh decided to try snowboarding, Darling took Brinley to slide down the bunny slope~ I love these activities honestly, I need to do them more often with the rest of my families.

    And of course my second objective for this trip was to have Morgan try rockclimbing~ I still don’t know if I want to try the mountain excursion thing, but I haven’t played around with this skill so far soooo…

    Also Morgan decided she likes to do it, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to keep it up (if I remember lol we all know I suck at remembering stuff).

    Anyways, it was very late at night and everyone was tired, so we went back home~

    Where I finally decided to sell the toddler toys and get the family another computer in exchange. Only one really was not being enough anymore lol.

    Next morning it was saturday, and I took the whole family to the arts district since Morgan had work. The girls took advantage of the Monkey bars there to keep working on their shared aspiration, and they became good Friends during it ❤

    Meanwhile their parents were trying to have a good time singing some karaoke. Trying being the key word here, because Dirk was making it very dificult lol.

    Darling: “hey! WTF with the backhand dude?!”

    Dirk: “Watch me I’m SO famous! Everyone watch me inside this tiny room that clearly can’t hold more than two people at a time!!”

    Inmediatly after that Dirk left the room, bit things didn’t get better for poor Darling since then his paparazzi decided to take photos of Darling’s clavicule or something lol.

    Darling: “I think she just wanted to leave me blind… And succeded.”

    Poor Darling was really not having a good time today lol.

    Thankfully the girls had a much better luck and did enjoy their singing. I gotta say I’m not sure where Brinley’s picture ended tho lol I was sure I got one of her too.

    And we were back home in time to throw another easy dinner party~ Now that Morgan completed her aspiration she has a trait that apparently makes it easier to reach gold rating, so I think our endeavor should be picking up the pace hopefully~

    I had fun preparing spicy food for everyone because why not? lol and also while playing videogames for a goal Brinley finally maxed the Motor skill and completed her aspiration~ I gave her Whiz kid next, I think it’s gonna helps us when she’s the heiress later. Yep, I’m officially trying for the 100 hurdle with Brinley! Wish me luck!

    Morgan also earned a great reputación after this party! And this started the unstoppable phone calls trying to get her to change jobs lol.

    We also got another (probably bugged) achievement for throwing ’50 gold rating events’… And I’m sure that can’t be the case because if that was true, we’d be done with this challenge already… Sooooo my game is already drunk again lol Oh well.

    …. Morgan, when I told you to take the computer out of your inventory while being inside of your house I really thought you would put it on the dinner table. Thankfully it isn’t raining today, but that would’ve been hilarious lol.

    Next morning starts with Darling cleaning the bathtub because today it’s an important day for us…

    We are, officially, trying to get a gold of the Gold Weenie Roast party… And I’m scared of that thing now lol can child sims burn to death in this game? I really hope they can’t lol.

    Things started pretty normal, people hanging out around the fire, Morgan managed to make some food while the girls entertained the guests, so my idea to not throw parties with one single person was a good choice lol.

    The campfire did caught fire as I was expecting, but thankfully it was only one time… And I can’t believe that feels like a success lol.

    I gotta give props to Lou here for being completely unfazed by the fire and just eating his marshmallows lol talk about being hardcore.

    Lou: “did it get a little warm around here or something?”

    Somehow Lou didn’t catch fire, but poor Tucker Landgraab did lol he was alright tho, Darling and Morgan were able to put the fire out very quickly. And that’s while you need two people to plan parties.

    Aaaaand second part of the party. Since it was hot outside we even took the chance to have a water ballon fight, this is another object I don’t use enough and I always have fun with it!

    And because it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t point it out: Oliana’s hot weather outfit? *Chef’s kiss* damn is this woman good looking! Also loving the side eye from Darling back there lol I wonder what’s going on.

    And we managed the gold! All in all this time it wasn’t thaaaat bad lol maybe I can try this party again later if I’m feeling brave, but nothing’s sure for now lol.

    But anyways, since I was feeling weirdly productive for this playsession, I decided to throw a second party for the day~ we went for another Black and White Bash!

    At first I wanted to throw this party in the San Myshuno art gallery, bit I discovered you can’t throw this type of parties there… Which I still find a little annoying considering it let me throw it at the Oasis Springs museum *sighs* I really wanted to use the gallery because I know there’s a kitchen area there already.

    We had a couple mishaps with the party, for some reason the ‘have Sims listen to Clasical music’ never checks out for me and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong lol and I had to add another random kitchen to the place aa usual lol but in the end we managed another gold, so success for that!

    This was also the moment I realized that Morgyn’s outfits are settled to ‘female’ in CAS, which is why he was wearing the maid outfit during that one costume party. That’s a nice little details to know now!

    Next day it was Rebate day, another easy holiday to complete and then cancel and that would’ve been perfect for that time I bought the computer lol I gotta remember to check the calendar before doing stuff like that. I gotta admit I don’t remember what I actually got the family for this thing tho… I think it was a better fridge? 🤔

    Anyways, it was another ‘spray graffiti’ day, and since I didn’t want to restart the garage mural, we went to the City to complete it. This time Rohan came to paint with us.

    It was Morgan’s adult birthday! I wanted to try something a little diferent and check how birthday parties work on restaurants, so we went to Ondinas again.

    Things were pretty much a mess with it honestly lol for some reason the restaurant doesn’t let you ask for a table for all the guests, just for the family (which is a shame because I did this cute party room upstairs specifically for ocasions like this one) and we also had a lot of trouble getting the cake out for Morgan to blow out her candles… So this is another one of those ‘I’ll take the gold because this was just a mess’ lol. I still believe that birthday parties hate me.

    Also for some reason Venessa and Victor were found talking on the trash alley I built for the restaurant lol I think I gotta lock all these doors next time.

    Anyways, we go back home and Morgan finishes her work tasks. I really feel I should get this easel inside lol painting in the middle of the night can’t be good for her.

    Ever since we moved hear I would hear these distant ‘boom’ sounds I had no idea what they were lol tonight I finally found the zone where they are throwing fireworks! I loved that smiley face one!

    Next day the girls keep working on their aspiration. I’m trying to get Brinley to complete Whiz kid before her birthday, but said birthday it’s today so we’re running out of time, yikes. I try to improve our chances by having Morgan write an email to get her out of school for the day, I love that writer sims can do that stuff!

    Nos that Morgan got her fame back, she finally got her first quirk, and as usual, it was this one lol I kinda miss having that quirk that makes sims look in the mirror a lot, I need variety!

    Meanwhile, outside on the playground Oakleigh also completes her first aspiration! Somehow hers went along a lot quicker than Brinley’s lol I gave her Artistic Prodigy next, I feel it suits her and also they got an activity table for Winterfest so I wanna make sure we use it lol.

    Aaaand then I looked at the calendar an realized I had Brinley’s birthday date wrong and it’s actually tomorrow lol I have no idea why, but this happened to me A LOT while I was playing around this time lol I also mixed birthdays in my Random Legacy and My Name game lol.

    So anyways, that basically means I had been overworking this girl for nothing lol I’m sorry Brinley! At least you got a day out of school, I loved having days off lol.

    As a side note, I think this chess set you get from the gold weenie roast is my favorite??? It looks so cool! Now I want one of these for all my families lol.

    And since I was not going to throw a Birthday party until the next day, but I was feeling kinda lazy at the time, I decided to double check if Dance parties could count for my goal, so we threw one at the Willow Creek bar, which I modified a little to fit that dance floor lol.

    We enjoyed one of the groups dance that I love, but then things got a little messy because Rory showed up in a wolf fury and started scaring everyone lol I feel like she’s been doing this in all of my saves lately lol. And also I confirmed that Dance parties can’t get a rating, which I still don’t understand, but oh well lol.

    Mmm so… That’s an idea… I mean… Why not? … I gotta think about it lol I’ll get back to you when I decide.

    I also saw this when I was gonna make them leave and I basically died laughing lol I’m guessing they passed out after being scared by Rory or something? Though that’s not how passed out Sims usually look 🤔 but hey, as far as I checked nobody was dead lol.

    On the way back we stopped by the gym to keep working on Darling’s skill. The plan was to have them mentored to make it easier, but the gym trainer was nowhere to be seen for some reason lol.

    Anyways, we go back to the Home and Brinley completes her second aspiration with time to spare because of my mistake lol She’s now ready for her actual birthday tomorrow~

    Oh yikes… Looks like that fake ‘dirty clothes’ moodlet led Morgan to disliking painting… It’s a shame, she was very close to maxing the skill… Maybe I’ll make her do it anyways lol.

    Specially since she’s like 2-3 promotions away from toping this career… But don’t quote me on this lol You guys know I just randomly change my mind about stuff when I’m bored.

    Hahahahaha I keep loving when sims fall into these pranks! I also love the idea of buying 100 llamas, so better make sure I never have the money for that lol.

    I gotta admit I have no idea why this pic of Oakleigh painting at the activity table, but hey, can’t complain about her cuteness ❤

    And the we got the notification, and it was time to start the party~ I invited some teens around so the girls can start making some more friends their age and I can spouse hunt because you guys know I love spouse hunting lol, and the time came for candles to be blowed~ Happy birthday Brinley!

    Oh My! She grew up beautiful!

    Brinley’s newest trait is Insider, and she got the Beach life aspiration, so I foresee Sulani and Clubs in our future lol.

    I gave her a makeover just before finishing for today, I really love how she looks! She’s so pretty! She’s also ridiculously skinny lol and I think my ‘smaller teens mod’ doesn’t help with that lol. But again, I love her ❤ couldn’t ask for a better heiress.

    Anyways, I’m leaving you today with a pretty short update because this marks an important moment: this was officially our 25th Gold medal event! We’re officially halfway through Morgan’s challenge hurdle!

    Next time: more parties, as usual! Also we’re starting Brinley’s work on her own hurdle, and since we have a teen now, we’re probably also getting into some romance~ I know it’s gonna be a fun update, so I hope for you to join us for it!

    For now, I’m gonna celebrate that I managed to complete my goals for SimNaNo, barely lol, even during a very… not ideal month lol. see you soon guys! Happy simming!

  • Chapter 4: The elusive Gold level Kava party

    Hey there guys! I’m finally bringing another update to the Olympic challenge!

    Sorry about slowing down on updates. My time off for covid finished (thankfully everything was good, I was just super tired and coughing for a couple of days lol) and my job was just… stressful lol if you have any other option, never work fulltime on retail, it’s the worst!

    Anyways, let’s get back to the important part of this: the family! Last time with the Fyres-Walshes, Brinley celebrated her child bithday! She’s adorable and I love her ❤ we also threw lots of parties, some more sucessful than others, and as you may now, that’s probably what we’re gonna be doing now too lol! Let’s just get into the game, shall we~?

    We start the day with a funny bit: Alternative version Darling got married to Wolfgang (Munch or Wilder, we will never know lol) and they had tripplets. Yikes, I’m very happy that’s not my Darling lol.

    I also think it’s funny that they’re also having girls in that version, my game is in girl-loving mood lately.

    Anyways, going back to the family, we start today with little Brinley working on her typing before school.

    I gotta say I need to get this family another PC, with Morgan writting books and columns, Darling trolling and Brinley typing/playing, this little laptop is getting overworked lol.

    We made a final trip to San Myshuno to prove luck with the street performers, and we finally had one! Now we don’t have to take that performance hit!

    And then we go back home and I keep enjoying Brinley being adorable playing with her new jungle (space? lol) gym~

    Yaaaaay our insistence with the street performers got us a promotion!

    Instead of celebrating with a party, today we organized another playdate because I wanted to get back my toddler playground lol I know Oakleigh is not gonna use it for much longer, but I want it!

    Anyways, today we invited another Landgraab baby since our date with Elliot worked out before. This is his younger brother Tucker and looks like he and Oakleigh enjoyed the afternoon. This is actually a great way to have your kids have friends by the time they turn into children, so I recomment it at least in cases of small/not so busy families!

    We get another full family picture~ these shots are always some of my favorites ❤ I love seeing my families enjoying eachother’s company.

    Gaaah she looks so cute and huggable with her pyjamas!! ❤ I’m in love.

    Venessa asked to come to visit and the first thing she did was to go upstairs and complain about our new painting lol thanks???

    It wouldn’t be a toddler update from me without an adorable toddler bathtime pic ❤ enjoy.

    Today was a very busy day for Morgan, just after finishing Oakleigh’s bath, the dryer broke, again… These things are so annoying! Lol.

    Venessa finally decided to come down and hang out, and looks like Oakleigh likes her~ she actually made it to the point where Venessa is not considered stranger anymore, so they can talk normally. That’s honestly a first from me lol! My toddlers rarely interact outside the family lol.

    Speaking of interacting outside the family, Brinley started bringing home Monique a lot lately! I like this friendship, they are very adorable ❤

    Also Monique is much more likable than Alma lol poor Alma grew up with the mean trait, and I think Brinley is not a fan lol.

    Anyways, it’s good the girls and Venessa were already here, because we’re about to celebrate another birthday~

    Brinley is being the first one to congratulate Darling for their birthday ❤ isn’t she such a lovely kid?

    Again I hired an entertainer and it was this ghost, who didn’t do anything during the party lol do they need an specific instrument to play? I thought since we have a guitar right there the game would send someone who would play it, but maybe they need a piano?

    Anyways, the party went great! Darling spinned their way into adulthood and everybody had a great time~ it does help that we could get more of the goals done before the candles unlike with Brinley’s case tho.

    I also thought that their birthday was a perfect chance to work on their aspiration, so Darling went ahead and made Mark dislike them lol I’m sorry Mark, but hey, he already had a tiiiny red bar anyways lol.

    And we had another gold party for the list! Yes~

    I gotta say that I never cease to be impressed of the number of dirty dishes parties leave behind lol it seems like there’s never enough food around this house lol. On the plus side, this is probably the only save where I don’t have to worry about spoiled leftovers lol.

    Another pic of Oakleigh and Brinley being good sisters ❤ I don’t get why Sims always want to sit in toddler beds, but it does make for some cute moments.

    ❤ can’t believe it took me this long to finally do the ‘pull chair from the table so toddlers can use it’ thing, it’s so adorable ❤

    Damn, that was quick lol not that we need the fame, but still!

    *sighs* So, Oakleigh finished all her skills so I left her on free will… and her first act was to go wake up her big sister. She wasn’t even sad or upset, she just wanted to wake Brinley up *facepalms* toddlers.

    Next day geek com came to town, and it sounded like a perfect moment for another date for the main couple~ so that’s what we did!

    To San Myshuno~ I love that Darling stayed on their work out clothes lol.

    Morgan and Darling even took the chance to go have fun with the rocket lol I love rocket woohoo, the idea just sounds like a lot of fun to me lol And the date was another gold one for us~ After it ended I had both sims enter the ultimate gamer competition, but of course they didn’t win lol I don’t know why I don’t have pictures about that tho…

    … Maybe I got a little too distracted taking pics of the disguised sims lol I just was gonna say that the Llama-Man/Woman costume seems to be the favorite for today lol! Sometimes I spot more sims wearing the star wars clothes around.

    Hey, looks like Brinley is back from school! Time to go back home then.

    So Darling can spend some time with their daughter ❤ I love how much these two like the pool. There are families who just ignore it, and others that want to use it all the time.

    Then Darling keeps Oakleigh entertained by teaching her to say please and thank you, so we can avoid messes and toddler troublemakers until birthday time~

    Morgan works early on the cake, while we wait for Oakleigh’s notification to come up~

    And then they quickly get distracted with eachother lol also, as you can see Darling was making food, because seriously there’s never enough food around here with how many people keep visiting!

    Anyways, going back to the birthday thing~ Just like with Darling, Brinley wanted to be the first one to congratulate her little sister ❤ I feel like I don’t use this interaction enough, it’s so cute!

    Again, I timed the party a little better for the birthday this time, and invited a bunch of kids so Oakleigh can also start makin some friends! Then it was time to blow the candles~

    And here our little Oakleigh all grown up ❤ I atill think she’s super adorable, and I love her curly hair ❤

    Oaklegh’s first trait is Outgoing and just like her sister she wants to be a Rambunctious Scamp.

    With our brthday sim all grown up, they went back to completing the rest of the goals for the party in no time~ This was the “play games with the birthday sim” goal.

    Apparently she wasn’t the only one aging up today though lol we caught Victor Feng outside a little later too.

    Anyways, we manage to finish this with another gold party! And we also get the achievement for getting 100 whims done with the family! Took us quite a while, but I’m proud! A very successful evening for the Fyres~

    And it was here when I remembered that Morgan had job tasks to do and I had totally forgotten them, so I decided to cheat a little lol She needed to paint a mural for two hours, so I bought her one of these to she could do it from home. Also because I’m hoping to make a “garage” to put Darling’s working equipment when we can afford it, I really like these garage doors.

    Darling was extremelly tired next morning, so I had them take a vacation day so we can finally work on getting them that last point on fitness for a promotion, it’s literally the only thing holding them back.

    Since Oakleigh grew up past midnight she didn’t had school next day, so she gets started on her homework while Darling works a little bit on their mischief skill. Does this count as spending quality time with eachother? lol I’m not totally sure.

    We also took the chance to take our party for today a little earlier~ It was just a nice house party for today, nothing super spectacular, but hey, we got the gold!

    And we also witnessed another surprise birthday lol this time it was Diego Lobo. Sorry dude, we didn’t knew it was your birthday!

    Brinley came home in the middle of the party, and decided to go outside to do her homework instead of socializing lol not sure if it means she’s already tired of the constant parties, or if she’s just a very studious little girl lol.

    Morgan finally made it to level 6 handiness! She can finally upgrade the dryer to Lintless so I stop being paranoid about fires lol.

    I think Oakleigh heard that her mom had been getting better at repairing, because inmediatly after she broke the laptop while trying to practice typing for her aspiration lol.

    Aaaaaand finally! Level 8! And as you can see, it took me until the night to finally get it done lol I got distracted. Also, at this point was when I finally realized Darling have tomorrow off… I guess we’re waiting a little more for that promotion!

    More painting murals for Morgan’s job! I like how it’s coming along, it’s gonna look amazing once it’s completed! Spoiler: I already played like…two updates more, and I still haven’t completed it lol.

    Seriously I’m constantly washing clothes, how can their clothes be dirty??? I wish things like this would get fixed already lol.

    Cute sister picture next day before school~ These two are so cute, I love them!

    LMAO we keep slowly woking on Darling’s aspiration, and I found it so funny that Lily fell into our chainmail letter lol! I do feel like being supersticious suits her a lot.

    Anyways, it was time again to go to San myshuno for work stuff, so more grafitti is sprayed~

    And then they go to the gym for a while~ first Darling mentors Morgan during her workout, and then they get mentored by Becca who is the gym trainer today.

    Hey, is Lou Howell! He’s so handsome, I really wanna marry him somet- *suddenly remembers that she actually has a sim who’s about to need a spouse in another challenge* yessss!!! I gotta remember this now! *scribbles down in paper*

    Now, time to go back home because kids are back too~

    Seriously these two are already best friends and it’s so cute!! I love them ❤

    Anyways, people arrived for a new try at the Kava party and guess what? We finally managed a gold! I think buying that second kava bowl was a good inversion for this lol.

    Also, Tucker Landgraab joins Morgyn on my banned list lol he’s the only kid we’ve invited around who decided to randomly make messes! lol.

    And I think now that I got my goal for the day done, this is the perfect place to leave the update!

    So I’m gonna leave you with this pic of the biggest group chat I think i’ve ever managed in this game! I’m impressed honestly lol.

    Next time, I think we should be getting to Brinley’s teen birthday! I’m ready to have some teeagers around! And as usual, more parties, waaaay more parties lol I’m gonna be sick of parties by the time we get this done!

    Anyways, this is all for today, see you next time, and as always, happy simming!

  • Chapter 3: The many fails of party planning

    Hey there everyone! I hope things are good!

    I’ve been having quite busy days lately, but then I tested positive for COVID yesterday (thankfully it’s nothing to worry about, I even apparently have 99% oxygen levels so, yay lol) and now I have a couple days off… So I decided why not use them writing some more? We have to get those SimNaNo updates out after all!

    Last time in this challenge, Darling and Morgan welcomed two little girl’s into the family, Brinley and Oakleigh. We also had a disastrous weenie roast party, and thankfully some sucessful parties too lol today, we just keep moving with the party train~ and also we’re having birthdays! Let’s hope there are some good times ahead~

    We’re just coming home from the hospital to find Brinley dancing to her little heart’s content ❤ she’s adorable.

    Also is good to she that she’s entertained…

    … Because these two came home with strangelly low fun bars and medium social for Darling, so we went and give it a quick fix lol. We’re not trying for another baby, I think I’m happy with the girls for now, but I do have risky woohoo on, so we could always be surprised.

    Oh Vanessa, you could do so much better!! Still not a fan of the Villareals in general lol. I give him points for taking her lastname though lol that’s fun.

    Also wait a minute! Her name is Venessa???? All this time I’ve been writing it wrong???? How?? When?? Also why??? Why Venessa???! Vanessa is a perfectly cool name!

    Just leave me here with my Random meltdown… Seriously I never noticed… And I love Venessa… How??

    Going back to… You know, the actually important parts of this Legacy: Darling takes care of their second bien ❤ Darling is a great parent.

    Seriously this is a big part of why I love this playground ❤ all the imaginary details are so cool!

    Morgan is also a great parent of course, here we have her enjoying a calm breakfast with Brinley. As calm as breakfast with a toddler can be of course.

    I saw our mailcarrier come to deliver the bills, and I thought ‘man, he looks like he’s goodlooking. Maybe why a haircut and a shave~?’

    So I randomly took him into CAS and gave him both things lol I do think he’s quite handsome. We also discovered this way that he’s actually Dina’s spouse and father of her twins, good for them lol.

    Don’t you love it when you’re super adamant on making some shorter updates (or at least keep only the relevant pictures), and then you randomly decide to do stuff like this? lol no idea what happened, I just got the impulse to give this guy a makeover and share it.

    Anyways~ have another pic of Morgan and Brinley ❤ because roughousing with toddlers is probably the most adorable interaction we have in this game.

    I feel like poor Darling can’t win with these even things lol either they lose performance for things that doesn’t make sence, or they get sad for doing the right thing lol. Poor Darling. 

    Also it should say ‘the cake offered to them’ there I think?? English is not my first language, but that doesn’t look right to me lol.

    Darling tries to forget their sadness with some laps around our still tiny pool lol I did make it a little longer, but since it’s still 3 tiles wide, it looks kinda funny. But at least it gets the job done.

    We didn’t throw any parties that night because we got the notification for the H&H festival, and I decided to go since Darling is gonna need a Voodoo doll for their aspiration.

    Both Morgan and Darling joined the Pranksters to give us more chances of winning, and it worked out! I sold Morgan’s prizes for the moneys, but Darling kept theirs, maybe we’ll try the fireworks for a party or something later down the line.

    Also Darling finally got a sim to dislike them! That guy with the brown suit was our unfortunate victim lol They still need another sim disliking them to complete the milestone tho.

    This was literally the first book Morgan wrote… And it was a workout guide… I don’t trust this Award ceremony lol. Also, it’s currently Monday, so there’s no way I’m remembering to go lol

    Another little silly thing lol I just found it funny that Jade named her kid Diamond lol. Also she married Dirck Dreamer, I feel like the name was his idea, it kinda has his vibe.

    Next morning, Morgan gets another promotion!! Every bit of money is welcome lol parties do make you some good money, but the house is still slowly being upgraded.

    Tonight we’re gonna be celebrating Oakleigh’s birthday, but since Darling has the day off, I decide to take advantage of the morning/midday and have them go on a date.

    They try a dare at the gym so Darling can also work on her job stuff after, and I get extremelly dissapointed that there aren’t any special goals when having a date at the gym lol. But anyways, at least we do get another gold!

    Then we’re back home to give another try to the ‘Kava party posing as a Birthday party’ thing~ and let me tell you, it doesn’t go well lol.

    For some reason guests got bugged and never showed up! Never!

    And because I was so sure I wasn’t gonna need Brinley to participate in the party since toddlers can’t really do much anyways, I didn’t include her in the guest list… So this left us with just two guests at the party and so we couldn’t get any of the ‘have 3 sims doing…’ goals in the listo *heavy sigh*

    This was how close we got to the gold… That close!!! We ran out of Kava and with no guests, we couldn’t get the other goals

    *sighs* so, saddly this party also doesn’t count for our goals… Kava parties hate me lol.

    But hey, at least we did celebrate our little girl’s birthday~ happy birthday Oakleigh!

    OMG!! Look at her she’s so cute and chubby!!!! I love her ❤

    I gave her a makeover to make her even cuter ❤ I love how she looks with those buns~

    After party cleaning~ the amount of dishes parties generate is impresive (and honestly, very real lol) and I can’t believe I have gone all this challenge without buying the money-maker trashcan… I always forget about it until I have no money left to buy it lol.

    Two toddlers playing with the toddler gym~ ❤ in the middle of the night as always because #SimsLogic~

    This time at least they are being ‘supervised’ by Morgan while she paints. And honestly, if she can actually see what she’s painting right here, I think her sight is reliable enough to watch over her kids too lol.

    Hey look, we’re actually making progress on Darling’s aspiration too! At least on leveling up lol they still need more people disliking them. I gotta say if this challenge has taught me something, is that parties are AMAZING to level up social skills. Charisma, Comedy and Mischief all skyrocket while during parties for some reason. That can be useful.

    Oh, I had no idea Silly toddlers get a playful moodlet instead of an angry one when being defiant! This is actually adorable! ❤

    *happy sigh* I just feel sim families are really complete when you have two or more children. It may be the fact I grew up with two sisters lol I don’t understand the life of only children.

    Next morning, Winterfest starts with a grand breakfast for the whole family~

    And a peaceful day of skilling and hanging out. Like with Harvestfest, I want to end the holiday early so we can have a party, but at the same time I want the girls to talk to Father Winter, so we’ll see which idea wins lol.

    Also I bought the girls the new little toys that came with Werewolves as winterfest presents. I want that sheep IRL, I love sheep!

    This is the moment Brinley maxed all her toddler skills! As our possible future heiress, this is an important moment for the challenge.

    Venessa came to visit and we discovered she’s pregnant. I still think you could do so much better than Hugo Villarreal tho…

    Later that night, Father winter shows up and the girls ask for presents. Brinley got an activity table, so that’s great 

    We tried out the Black and White Bash party tonight, and since I was still trying to throw parties in diferent locations, we tried the Delgato residency. My idea was to make it an adults-only elegant kind of deal, but I totally forgot that the Delgatos have children because MCCC doesn’t rests lol.

    Again, things didn’t went our way lol our caterer didn’t want to cook the food we needed so I tried to have Morgan bake the black and white cookies… But Supriya isn’t friends with us so she didn’t like my idea and she ended up kicking us out lol it was actually pretty epic and random.

    Note to self: get one of these two the Always welcome trait lol.

    But somehow we still managed the gold????? I mean, I’m taking it, specially because the Kava parties hate me and I need a win lol.

    I told the girls to ‘Play together’ and apparently this is what the game consideres playing together lol yep, standing in opposite corners of the room without looking at eachother. Sounds legit to me.

    Next morning it was Season premiere, so as usual, I had Morgan and Darling complete the holiday early so we can have parties later. Specifically, birthday party!!

    This is our first official birthday party of the challenge. The goals look pretty easy, so it should be doable.

    It did go a lot better than some of my other parties, but we saddly didn’t get a gold, again *sighs* I really do think birthday parties hate me… But we’ll keep trying!

    I also hired and Entertainer for the party and he turned out to be a ghost, who didn’t approach the guitar the whole evening (maybe they only use the piano or violin??), But did enjoy haunting the dollhouse lol.

    But just like last time, at least the party served its purpose, and Brinley was able to blow her candles into childhood~ happy birthday Brinley!

    Here we have her after her makeover ❤ I think she grew up very cute, I see a lot of Darling in her already.

    And there you have it, Silver party *sighs* I think what I did wrong with this one was basically starting to early/waiting to long to grow Brinley up. I kept waiting to get the notification for her birthday and since toddlers can’t really be complimented and we needed to blow the candles so we could have cake, it definitely was a lost of time there lol. We’ll do better next time.

    After the party Brinley is sent to do her homework so she’s prepared for first day of school tomorrow. And as you can see, the toddler beds keep being the best seat in the house somehow.

    I often say to myself that I don’t need CC, and then adorable things like this pyjamas pop up and I’m happy to have the choice lol just look at them!! So cute ❤

    I’m still keeping to just toddler and some child CC tho, don’t wanna get too much stuff in the game.

    Also just because here’s a pic of her with her everyday clothes, I really like how this outfit came out ❤ I’m also a little obsessed with Brinley, sorry lol it’s my inner family simmer being happy we have kids ❤

    And because she’s not the only one I’m obsessed with, toddler bathtime picture for Oakleigh because toddler bathtime = cute ❤

    Next day, Morgan had to review some street performance, but nobody appeared. We did what we could.

    Since we we’re already here, Morgan joined a protest randomly lol somehow even with all the painting, writing and music-ing that Morgan does, this is how she earned her first fame star lol I didn’t expect that.

    Also hello there mr. Volkov! (i don’t remember his name… Sorry). Am I the only one who finds the Werewolves’ premades ridiculously attractive? Like, I already have plans to marry Rory and Lou to some of my families, and reaaaally want to do something with Kristopher too, and honestly his dad just have that…vibe I like. Why are they all so good looking???

    Back home, a cute little whole family picture~

    And speaking of cute family moments~

    Anyways, time to throw yet another party~ I want a jungle gym for the girls, so we’re going for another costume party~

    This time first place was a tie between Darling sporting the adorable clown outfit, and a girl called Navya with the llamacorn suit, because you guys know I adore the llamacorn suit lol.

    Mortimer Goth as Grim has to get an honorable mention tho, the costume is just too perfect.

    We went out to this park I plopped in Newcrest, which name I swear I wrote down, but I can’t find it *facepalms* It has a looooot of stuff to do and it’s indoors, so it’s great for wintertime activities like here, and I really liked the raainbow aesthetic, perfect for Pride month when I played this lol.

    And we got another gold! things are starting to look up for us!

    Also this was the moment I realize lightning destroyed our toddler playground! Oakleigh was still using that!

    I wanted to replace it, but saddly we have no money, and this time I wanted to keep the jungle gym so Brinley can use it to work on her aspiration totally ignoring we have one of those just across the street… #DumbWatcherIsDumb. So instead we just got a slide since that was what we could afford.

    Brinley got a whim to Cannonball into the pool, and since I never get these platforms, we went for it. She didn’t have much luck tho lol.

    Out of curisity I had Darling go try doing a backflip since they have a high fitness skill, theirs was great! This is another object I feel I don’t use enough lol

    I had them stay outside swimming to skill, but they decided that playing dolls was a better use of their time lol I can’t really complain because they are completely adorable.

    We did a quick stop by the arts district to see if Morgan could finally find a street performer for her work task, but nope. I don’t know if it’s bugged or if is a thing about it being a holiday, I Guess we’ll try again later.

    For now, we went to Mt. Komorebi because the festival of Lights is on town! And it just felt like the perfect way to celebrate New year, perfect timing~

    I gotta admit I keep getting ridiculously lost on this particular neighborhood, so while I found my bearings and locatwd the festival which was literally next to the lot, as always, but somehow I can’t never see it!! Darling and Morgan enjoy a good soaking in the termal baths, apparently along with Megumi Ito there.

    And the girls decided to build a snowpal outside ❤ it was an adorable moment and it came up lovely.

    Aaaand finally after hours of me roaming in circles around the map somehow missing the freaking festival site… We made it lol thankfully, this festival actually works better during the night, so win!

    We had a good time, Brinley met some people, got a simmi figure from Yamachan, Oakleigh got a picture with him and they ate some food. Have I said how much I love the snowy escape festival food? ❤ as a former AnimeCon goer I always loved eating that stuff!

    And we made it home in time for the countdown to midnight! Sucessful day!

    And I’m gonna leave you with this cute little Midnight kiss from our main couple, update already got a little too long. I hope you had fun with us this time!

    Next time, more birthdays! And hopefully less party fails lol I feel like to need to crack down on the parties id I want to complete those 50 by the time Morgan passes, let’s see if we can manage lol.

    For now, I’ll let you go! Have fun with the SimNaNo updates everyone! See you soon!

    Also random little bit that made me laugh lol Rory married Yamachan!! I love it~

  • Chapter 2: Campfirephobia

    Hey there! We’re starting the SimNaNo updates today!

    Last time, we basically started this party-filled trip I decided to have. We met our main sims, enjoyed some of the first social events that we’re gonna keep having around, and ended up with a nightly wedding and the try for the first baby of our couple. I think it was quite a great introduction, but now, better keep working in our goals if we hope to be done by October lol shall we?

    We start this chapter right where we left last time: with Morgan confirming that she’s pregnant with her first child!  We’re doing good.

    She inmediatly goes to give Darling the news, and Darling doesn’t look so sure about this. Even if they were the one who actually had the whim for to try for a baby.

    Anyways, Darling better comes around the idea, because baby’s coming~

    The couple organized a nice, simple dinner party to anounce they are expecting.

    I like dinner parties, they’re honestly one of the easier ones, and I really enjoy watching my sims cook, so double win for me~

    Even though some of the guest have started getting too comfortable in the house lol there’s always two or three who decide to stay after the parties are done lately.

    But after everyone is gone Darling keeps working out for work, and Morgan naps. Being a pregnant party animal definitely isn’t easy.

    This is another one of those situations where I feel the loss is unfair. Were we supposed to let the other player hurt himself? Also why does Darling lose performance for someone else missing the game? Like, Darling didn’t miss it? It would make sence if the pop-up was about Darling maybe being injured and deciding if getting checked out was worth it when maybe it was nothing!

    *sighs* sorry, I’ll stop ranting.

    The next couple of days go by with basically two things: cleaning/repairing (and repairing a lot, this house is breaking to pieces for some reason lol)… And learning skills. The guitar is for work purposes, but Morgan also took on fitness because she likes it. I’m sure Darling is happy about it.

    Somehow even with their performance loss, Darling manages a promotion,I’m very proud of them! They also don’t have to wear the llamacorn suit anymore. That makes me sad (?

    We were gonna celebrate with some good old-fashioned party, but then Vanessa called to invite us over and I said ‘why not?’ I really like being friends with Vanessa since she’s our only neighboor.

    Besides, I think we’re doing a good job with our party schedule so far, so they deserve a break now and then.

    They talk for a while and watch some tv, though I’m not sure why Darling decides to just stand on the other side of the wall to do so lol I know there aren’t anymore chairs, but you could easily watch from next to the couch you know?

    Darling: “Nope! This is the optimal form to watch tv! You know… For… Sports.”

    I would deny that, but I know basically nothing about Sports™ so Darling is the expert here.

    Also we learn that Vanessa has a baby girl, her name is Alma. I wonder if she’s Father winter daughter after that call the other day lol.

    Next day, Morgan also gets a promotion of her own! I’m having fun with this career, it’s been a while since I last tried it.

    This time we do celebrate with a party: an Incognito costume party. Where I quickly declare Morgyn the winner of the ‘best custome of the night’ award lol! I really wasn’t expecting that, but he does have nice Iegs I guess lol.

    Also, we’re visiting that club from Brindleton bay which name I don’t know lol since Morgan is now in the part of her aspiration where she needs to throw parties in different locations.

    We quickly discover that this is not a good place for parties lol. There is no kitchen nor games to play, and the bar is outside, which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t raining lol. We still manage to make it work after a quick stop on build/buy mode, but I’m still surprised about it honestly lol we literally got the gold in the last second!

    I did like this type of parties tho, I’ll probably make more of these. Once I build and/or find some Seasons-proof party places lol we need more.

    WHAT THE HELL?! When the game said ‘Rewards for this party include a new Outdoors item’ I thought it meant like… A picnic table! Maybe a grill! This thing is worth 12 Grand! Now I’m definitely making more parties like this!

    We inmediatly sold it to be able to afford the remodel the house needed. With the baby on the way, we added a small second story and moved Darling and Morgan upstairs. Their old room got remade into a kids/toddler room. We also added a second bathroom, expanded the main room a little and added a pool and a grill outside, and upgraded some stuff in quality.

    I’m pretty proud about how the house turned out honestly, specially being one of those ‘fuck it! Let’s wing it!’ building moments that I get sometimes lol. We’ll probably upgrade it a little more later down the line, but for now here it is~

    Next morning Morgan had a job task to up her Painting skill, so I got her an easel and set it outside so she can enjoy the morning sun that rarely shines over Del Sol Valley.

    And it was time for Darling to use the computer because I finally remembered Darling has the Mischief aspiration lol. I’ve honestly been procastinating a lot with that since I need the money from their job more, but I’ll try to do better.

    And then, time to meet the baby!

    A quick trip to the hospital~ and now I realize this where Morgan met that guy! We invite him to parties later and I didn’t remember when we met him lol!

    Darling apparently deals with stress by training lol I guess it makes sence for an Active sim.

    Oh, so that glitch is still not fixed lol good to know, I always get a cackle out of seeing this happening lol.

    But anyways, everything goes alright in the end, and Morgan gives birth to a healthy baby girl: Brinley.

    There’s a mini-challenge about having 15 babies and naming them BOOLPROPFIFTEEN for this challenge, and while I don’t think I’m gonna do it, I decided it was still a nice naming theme to use.

    Back home I prove my amazing watcher skills by totally neglecting to take a picture of Darling meeting their kid and instead laughing about how tiny this pool is while Morgan does laps lol.  I’ll try to make it bigger when we have some money lol.

    Speaking of money, we try our hand at a new type of party while Darling is a work. This doesn’t look to hard right?

    Wrong!

    This party was literally a disaster! I chose one sim (actually, the doctor we met before), but he never even tried to grill something, so I couldn’t have Morgan just entertaining the guests for the other goals because somebody also needed to cook for goals. Then I sold the llama statue to buy a campfire because dumb me thought we needed a Bonfire lol and the damn thing caught fire THREE TIMES.

    I only have pictures of the first one because after that things got a little too out of hand, but seriously, there we’re three. Freaking. Fires. Campfires are a menace!!!

    So, once the party ended (with no stars, not even a bronce level party!) I sold the damn thing again and I don’t wanna know anything about it for as long as I can! I know I’m gonna have to try again thanks to my goal of having Gold in every party …but let me pretend I don’t have to for now lol.

    Oh yeah, and Brinley also started crying during the fire but I couldn’t get Morgan to care for her because she was taking care of the fires, our guests were totally useless with the fires too *sighs*

    Thankfully, Darling came home just in time and fed her before we were left with no baby, that would’ve been the Cherry on top of this disaster of a party for sure.

    Thankfully, the only thing adding insult to the injury in the end was this toilet somebody broke before leaving the house *sighs yet again* this day was exhausting.

    So, I decided that we deserved a nice, calm day off of the party business. Today we’re doing work stuff and having non-party-related fun~

    We did do something party-related though: since Brinley is about to grow up, I went to find some toddlers around so we can organize a Playdatw

    Then off to talk to the food vendor and enjoy the day away~

    And also paint some graffiti~ Since I’ve played the Polititian career way more than the Critic one this is my first time in a long time doing graffiti, it’s nice to try something ‘new’.

    I had to include this random pic to say that when I first saw it I thought it was a concert add, it kinda has the vibe, but basically ny dumb brain was like: “Is he playing the chainsaw as an instrument?” Because that’s totally a logic conclusion to make instead of “ah, a horror movie poster” lol.

    I had to include this shot too lol. I didn’t get rid of the original versions if Morgan and Darling from this save, so now Morgan can even paint with young Morgan lol.

    Anyways, before going home, I stopped by the Caliente household to meet Dina’s twins, Juliette and Reynaldo, and to the Landgraab’s house to meet their new kid Elliot.

    I have no idea why toddlers are always standing outside their houses when I visit like this. But it does make it easier lol.

    Back home, Darling gets their branching promotion! Both branches of this one are quite similar, so I just randomly take the Bodybuilder one for them.

    And again, we celebrate their promotion with a nice dinner party. I really love dinner parties, they’re calmer and also easier than normal and fancy parties lol.

    Damn! That’s gonna take some time to achieve lol I didn’t expect it to skyrocket to level 8 from one promotion to the other!

    Also, we’re going ahead and trying for another baby~ I felt the sudden impulse to have two kids very close in age with these two, so lets do it!

    And of course this is the time when it doesn’t catch lol! Oh, well… They were both way too tired to try again right away, so I guess we’ll give it another go tomorrow.

    Next morning, it was Harvestfest~ both Morgan and Darling took turns trying to appease the gnomes, we had a couple fails, but finally got it right~ And then i sold them for the moneys~

    We also got the notification for Brinley’s birthday!

    I want to celebrate with a party, but as you may know, you can’t have goaled parties at the same time you’re having holidays (which honestly I still don’t understand, but ok sims).

    So my solution for this was basically to have the family enjoy as many traditions as posible early in the day so they hace a full holiday, and the then end it up early so we can party.

    Oh yeah, but before, we went for that second try on baby 2!

    And this time we’re expecting! cheers!

    Then, it was time for the party! You can’t actually throw birthday parties for the babies because the game treat them as objects and we hate this in this house. But you can always pretend~ so instead, I moved Brinley’s bassinet downstairs and we threw a Kava party to try it out.

    Everything went pretty good, but we ended up with just a Silver party *sighs* also, now that I’m looking back at this chapter to write it, I notice my dumb internet didn’t even let me upload the medal picture… but you believe me, it was a Silver *sighs* the party gods aren’t in my favour.

    But anyways, the party served its purpouse, and our little Brinley grew into a toddler! isn’t she adorable? ❤ I’m already in love.

    Also, I’ve been having this thing happen a lot with parties, where some of the guests stay behind and keep chatting/dancing etc until I reset them lol nothing to worry about, I just think it’s funny honestly.

    And speaking of things I think are funny, looks like Nalani and Paka’a married in this savefile lol I always find it funny when occults marry eachother. They do make quite a cute couple, though my favorite ship from these premades is definitely Kala x Uku lol I love those two and their edgy vibe.

    Anyyyyways~ going back to the family and all that, here we have Brinley after I gave her a makeover~ she’s totally adorable and I love her ❤

    The rules of the challenge say that we can continue/complete a diferent hurdle with the firstborn of our main sim… so technically if I wish to do that, Brinley’s gonna be our heiress. We’ll see if I’m up for that challenge when i get to it though.

    For now, we enjoy the toddler cuteness overload ❤ I’m 100% a family simmer honestly, my favorite part of playing is when kids start poppin’~

    Also, having a toddler means we can finally have…

    Toddler playdates! So we planned one right away with all the kids Morgan metthe other day, at this park I downloaded from the gallery. It’s called Toddler + Family park, thoughI don’t have the Origin ID of the creator because I’m dumb.

    Let’s see if these things are fixed now lol Last time I did one toddlers just inmediatly dissapeared from the lot lol.

    Nope, looks like toddlers still leave inmediatly lol I consider this one a win tho, since Brinley went to say hi to Elliot first, we managed to keep him in lot, so at least we had two toddlers for the playdate lol.

    The event itself went pretty great too.The kids had fun and I really liked this park, it’s a nice place to have kids parties and stuff. Brinley had a little moment where she didn’t accept a hug from Darling, but at least they didn’t end up with grudges for eachother lol.

    Also, damn, the Goth’s refresh wasn’t gently on you Alexander lol.

    I know it’s not like he was super attractive originally, but seriously… poor boy lol Cassandra was certainly the lucky one of the two.

    Anyways back home, Morgan tries her nad at the punching bag so Darling can work on their Mentoring. I then remember Darling is not gonna be promoted until we get them to level 8 Fitness, so we’re basically just wasting time here lol.

    So we better go back to skilling our sims separately. Morgan goes back to practicing her writting, and Brinley takes the chance to watch her to skill too.

    We also get the news that Morgan also reached her branching promotion already~ not bad at all~ We went for the Art critic branch, since it’s the one that asks for Music.

    Then she gets a performance hit because she had an hour between her shift and the next one, and she had to practice Writting for three hours *sighs* I hate it when work from home careers do this to you. But I guess it’s nothing we can’t get back up from.

    So instead, we celebrate the promotion with a house party~ this one it’s not a presentation because I have stuff to say lol.first

    First: I hired a caterer for the event so Morgan could unwind, but he showed up just to go use our pool and then dance… I knew I’ve never been a fan of the Villarrreals for a reason!

    Next: Morgyn is now uninvited of our future parties! The dollhouse didn’t do anything to you Morgyn! Also, I’m surprised we made it this far before a guest destroyed the dollhouse honestly lol.

    But anyways, all in all the party ended up a Gold! So I’m satisfied, we did needed more wins around here!

    Also, I settled out the toddler playground we got as a reward for the Playdate ❤ I love this thing honestly, they look so adorable playing with it~

    Brinley is doing quite great with her skills too, this is where they are already, and she still has like half her toddlerhood to go!

    Next day, Morgan went out to review a performance in the Arts district for work, and Nina Caliente was our street musician. I thought it was funnny; if you read some of my other stuff, she was a performer too when my simself met her in my Name Game. Good times there.

    And then we made a stop by Vanessa’s house so we can invite her kids over. That’s right, kids. Along with her daughter Alma (left) who we met last chapter as a baby, Vanessa now has an adopted daughrer (right) called Monique.

    Then we went home and we started the second playdate~

    Also, I questioned Vanessa’s parenting lol I don’t think you’re supposed to walk ten feet ahead of your two toddler daughters like that.

    #SimsLogic

    But other than that, another Gold event in no time! The girls had fun, and Vanessa only almost gave me a heartatttack randomly deciding to use our grill but it all ended up ok lol.

    And the playdate ended up right in time, because just about an hour later, Morgan went into labor!

    Thanks God too, this update is running a little too long lol But i don’t know, I just really felt like playing at the time.

    Anyways, we go to the hospital right away~ in very non-appropiate clothing for the season lol Winter doesn’t feel that cold in Del Sol Valley because it doesn’t snow,

    Mmm… we’re up to a great start here. Our doctor is a ghost, and our receptionist doesn’t even exist… great.

    Our ghost doctor at least does a great work with the machine though, so I guess I shouldn’t be so quick to judge them lol.

    And in no time, we meet the newest addhition to the family! Everyone, this is Oakleigh Fyres-Walsh! My game really has been in a girl-mood lately, and I’m not complaining at all~ it’s a nice change.

    Anyways, This is where wer’re leaving for today, I already extended my welcome a little too much lol. We’re still doing great with parties, even with the couple of fails we’ve been experimenting, and the family is growing too, that just makes me happy!

    Next time, Oakleigh is gonna become a toddler, and probably Brinley will reach childhood too, we’ll see! Also, we’ll keep partying! Thanks for joining us today! See you soon!

    Salem’s dumb little extra:

    I saved this pic of the gallery when I downloaded the park so I could check the name of the builder… and I totally got the name out of the frame somehow *facepalms* seriously, dumb Salem.

  • Chapter 1: Boolprop’s Perpetual Challenge Starters

    Hey there everyone!

    As you may surely know, I’m addicted to starting challenges lol that’s basically why I’m a part of this forum on the first place, because I love being with other challenge lovers!

    :haha:

    Anyways, as you know, Boolprop is doing the anual Summer Sims Challenge, and even though my last try at the Summer Sims challenge is still going on and I’m barely like, a quarter of the way in lol I decided I want to try again. So I chose to try the Boolprop’s 15th birthday challenge: The Great Boolpropian Olympic Challenge!

    This is usually a quick and fun challenge, you can chose to get 25, 50, 75 or 100 of basically anything you want, and that’s the challenge, so it sounded perfect for something you gotta complete in three months or less. But I know me, I know I’m gonna have trouble with it lol I also know I would be angry at myself if I don’t even try it, so here we are lol!

    Let’s just jump right into the action now:

    Our main sim for this challenge is gonna be Morgan Fyres! I gave a YA makeover to her and Darling Walsh here around last Awards season for a Boolprop event and I wanted to use them for something ever since.

    As said before, TGBOC is all about reaching milestones, and since Morgan has the Party Animal aspiration (one that I have never fully played somehow!) I decided that we’re gonna get two birds with one stone and have Social Events be the thing we’re persuing: Morgan has to plan and complete 50 Gold Social Events for this challenge.

    I decided I’m gonna be counting dates as social events since the games does too, but I’ll try not to abuse them too much, and by the end of the generation I wanna have had every single party I have aviable with a Gold rating at least once!

    That’s pretty much it for the challenge~

    And yeah, Darling is gonna be Morgan’s partner because I ship them hard lol. I mean, they make such a cute couple!

    Morgan’s final trait now that she’s fully grown is Music lover, while Darling’s is Loves the outdoors.

    I moved them into the empty lot in Del Sol Valley because I rarely play in this neighborhood, and with the money that had left I built them this little house. It’s mostly bare on the inside so far, but it’s spacious enough that it should work great for all the future parties.

    Also thinking about the parties I decided that buying a stereo and a console was more important than… Wallpaper lol. I know a couple of my more common party goals!

    The wallpaper thing it’s probably gonna get annoying fast though… Specially because in my experience learning skills while uncomfortable make sims dislike the skill more easily… We better get some money soon lol.

    I had Morgan join the Entertainer career since she loves music, and Darling will be in the Athlete career because they’re active. Sadly, both of them have their first day until tomorrow.

    This gives then the chance to recieve the Welcome Wagon though. Since she’s the only other person living in the neighborhood, our welcome wagon is only Vanessa Jeong… Who I’m not sure why is dressed like a space heroine or something lol.

    But hey, weird attire and all they end hitting it up great at least. Morgan is gonna need a lot of friends to invite to her parties, so this is a nice start.

    We do end up getting this pop-up while they’re chatting tho. I’m telling you, the lack of wallpaper is to blame lol.

    Since I like following my sims’ wishes with this stuff I accept the dislike, and decide to change Morgan to the Critic career, because she’s probably not gonna do great leveling up Comedy for the early levels of Entertainer lol.

    Vanessa goes home and we decide to get out of the house for a while, so we travel to the Del Sol Valley park. Morgan takes the chance to busk with her guitar since we need money, but she barely gets like 10 simoleons lol.

    Meanwhile, Darling prepares a plate of hot dogs for both of them to share. We cook hotdogs because it’s the cheapest option and we’re trying to sabe money … And then I totally forget to have them take the rest home with them lol dumb Salem~

    Also since Morgan needs to meet 10 people for the first tier of her aspiration, she introduces herself to as many people as possible.

    Not pictured here is Darling, who went for a jog to try and gain skill for their job.

    My idea when we got back home was to throw a house party as a welcome, buuuut we’re so broke we can’t really afford throwing parties ($100) lol!

    So instead the couple had a quick date at Home, and again, the lack of wallpaper keeps kicking my butt lol it makes it so freaking hard to get them in any mood, and the date decided it wanted them flirty and then playful *sighs* in the end we managed the gold at the last second, but man it was awful lol.

    But hey, at least they had fun! They are really adorable together ❤ I love them.

    So with the money from the date reward we splurged on some wallpaper lol I don’t want this happening again, specially while throwing real parties that costs us money.

    Next day, we go to the gym so Darling can keep working on their Fitness after work.

    While they’re at that, Morgan says hi to some other people, and officially completes her first aspiration milestone.

    She then goes out to busk with the guitar again, but we’re having no luck with that lol.

    Also this is my first experience ever with the new Cassandra Goth lol I love her already, she’s surely making an impression.

    We also saw Kalamainu’u swimming in the pool and somehow she had human legs??? Is this normal?

    Also me taking this random picture is why my playsessions and updates end up being ridiculously sporadic and long lol.

    Next day, Morgan visits the Willow Creek Archive so we can use a computer to get her writing skill up~ she also makes friends with the librarian and another couple of people.

    And once Darling is back home, we finally throw the first party~ and saddly it ends up with a Silver *sighs* again, I was having trouble getting sims in the needed moodlets and they also refused to do the activities I send them to do for some reason lol it was hard. The game also wanted them to have drinks and they totally ignored Morgan when she prepared some lol.

    So, first fail~ we’ll try again tomorrow.

    For now, Morgan’s music lover trait makes her go and play a song as celebration for the woohoo she just had with her fiancee lol. I think Darling would appreciate if you let them sleep Morgan!

    Also yeah, they are fiances because I wanted to have them have a wedding… I then remembered how expensive weddings are lol so we better get money.

    Aaaand this is something I really didn’t see coming lol! Vanessa wants to get together with Santa~

    After I died laughing I had Darling say that yes, she should totally get to know him lol!

    Next day Morgan works from Home, abd her tasks take her to San Myshuno to watch some street performers~

    And one of them is Nina! This is funny because I remember Nina was also a street performer when Salem first met her in my name game lol maybe it’s her true calling.

    I totally adore Nina, so we also made friends with her before going home so we can invite her to any future parties.

    Back home, Darling got their first promotion today! She now has the best work outfit ever lol I always love the llamacorn costume.

    Also, while editing this I realized I didn’t change their pronouns before starting lol Sorry Darling, I’m still getting used to that amazing update.

    Anyways, going back to parties: today we decide for an easier goal, and make a dinner party. It goes much better, the guests enjoy the food and we have a good time~

    This party also gave us a coffee machine that will help us next time a party asks for coffee lol so that’s great.

    This two are so ridiculously in love btw… I kinda love it. They always have whims for eachother and basically every conversation they have ends with kisses and/or woohoo lol.

    Next morning, Morgan gets a promotion! First one for her!

    Also Darling has a day off, and I toy with having them have their wedding today, but they both have a ton of work to do… And we’re also still like $150 away from what we need for the wedding, so instead I took them to san Myshuno to work on their stuff

    First stop was the food stalls because it’s also Free food day~ They both got Spicy food and ended up breathing fire lol.

    Then they went to play a hops competition so Darling can keep getting her skill up~

    And also while at here I discover this fun little moodlet lol I had no idea there’s a specific moodlet for ‘playing bascketball after eating curry’ but I totally love it lol.

    Now I wanna find some other very specific moodlets! gotta try mixing things up~

    Anyways… I sent these two to have another date, this time at the Stargazer Lounge…and apparently I totally forgot to take any pictures of the date except this one to prove it was a gold date lol sorry.

    I think I got dumbly distracted lol I kept looking at Victor here because it really, reaaaaaally looked like he was giving an interview to this paparazzi lol!

    And also while trying the bubble blower for Morgan’s work I accidentally gave her an esence that made her sleep the last half of the date lol I have absolutely no idea how we managed a gold, but yay lol!

    Next day was pretty uneventful, so the only pic I have is this moodlet from when she was back at the library because I thought this sentiment was fun. I shows how little I do parties that I hadn’t seen it before lol.

    Anyways, as you can see, we finally have enough money for a wedding up there! And since I have virtually no patience…

    We’re going for it! Can I say how much I love Darling in that pink dress btw? They look adorable! Also I’m all about nb folks wearing dresses ❤ I love it~

    Anyways, wedding time~

    It starts reallly bad, because Morgan was feeling flirty so when I sent her to greet the guests, she inmediatly decided to start flirting with somebody! Ugh, girl, your future spouse is right there! Flirt with them!

    Thanfully, the angry moodlets didn’t affect that much to the ceremony, and it went beautifully. I’ve taken a liking to marrying in this park because I just adore that it comes with fireworks and a whole building with kitchen lol.

    Of course, I also made sure that Morgan apologized for her flirting, because Darling deserves nothing less!

    They took the apologize very well honestly lol I loved this shot, it’s so silly!

    And then we continued with the rest of the wedding! I did hired a mixologist and a caterer, but for some reason the caterer never went to bake the cake or anything, so in the end I had to make Morgan do it lol I’ll take it as her making up for before.

    And we got our gold so I’m satisfied!

    Inmediatly after getting married Darling gor a whim to try for a baby, which I found super cute, and since we’re already a week into the challenge and somehow MCCC’s risky woohoo still hasn’t hit them, we’re finishing this update with our couple trying to get their first kid~ We’ll see next time if they were successful!

    I think I’m having a pretty ok start so far, we’ve had 4 Gold star events in our first week, I’m gonna try to keep the number going up in the next weeks to reach our goal! I hope your having fun with us, join us next time for probably, the first baby of this family!

    As always, have fun, and happy simming!
