Chapter 6.3: Saying Goodbye

Last chapter Kiyoshi and Storm got married. Claudia and Ben have there elder birthday. Luna is an adult cat. Cloud had his YA birthday and moved out.


The laundry room got turned into a séance room so maybe one day I will actually explore the paranormal pack.

Luna gets plenty of love and attention.

Ben comes home with a promotion to Team Mascot!

Storm and Kiyoshi go on a date and end up bowchikawowwow in the bushes! Needless to say it was a very successful date.

Bush woohoo ended up being a successful TFB.

Kiyoshi was very happy about the news.

Storm is now the Capitan of he E-Sports team!

It’s New Years and Kiyoshi’s dad came by to celebrate it with the fam.

Storm is in the kitchen cooking….and…Luna I don’t think you should be doing that!

Luna: Hhhsssssss….evil stove!

Storm working on her project. I might regret getting her pregnant before she can complete university.

Kiyoshi being a good ISBI spouse.

Claudia reached level 5 writing.

Sky comes home with an A and Storm looks very pregnant.

Apparently I forgot it was Sky’s birthday. I moved her out so quickly I forgot to take her picture, so I’ll have to invite her over to get it.

Storm went into labor and decided to have the baby at the hospital. Kiyoshi was at work so he couldn’t be there for the birth of his son. Meet baby Logan Moon named after Wolverine form the X-Men. I have decided that the theme shall be names from the X-Men comics.

Logan is already being dotted on.

I guess Luna is worried about her place with in the family as she ran away. She comes back the next day.

Sadly its time to say goodbye to Claudia. She was probably one of my favorite heirs next to Claire and Ren.

Moments later it was Ben’s time as well.

It’s Logan’s birthday and he comes out rather cute!

Here is a closer look after his makeover. He rolled Independent which is the best trait for an ISBI toddler to have!

I also gave Storm a little bit of a makeover as well.

Cloud’s room is now Logan’s and I’m pleased with how it has turned out.

Logan makes use of the play tent. He can actually sleep in here as well which is cool.

Kiyoshi being a pretty amazing dad. Though he does leave Logan in the highchair when he goes to work.

Mom comes to the rescue and puts Logan to bed with a story.

Luna being a mischievous cat. Storm tells her to scratch on her scratch post not the furniture.

Logan entertains himself which is most of his toddlerhood. The only time he gets instruction is when Storm is potty training him and one flash card session towards the end of his toddler stage.

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get attention and love. He just needs less of it than most because he is independent.

That’s so gross Luna! You know that is pee right?

This is so cute! Storm does her homework near her napping son and later Luna joins Logan for a nap as well.

Its bath time for the stinky boy.

After Logan is taken care of Storm starts on her presentation.

I didn’t get Kiyoshi blowing out his candles but he is now a full fledged adult.

Our old maid, Tetsu?, must have passed as we have a new maid Yumi.

Kiyoshi must have had a very rough day at work as he came home very smelly and he stood outside for an hour before coming in and taking a bath.

These two decide to try for another newboo. I don’t have Storm take a pregnancy test so we have to wait.

Despite being independent Logan is still a toddler that needs attention. He wakes up Kiyoshi to get a little play session in before his dad has to go to work. He then proceeds to play with his mom’s bed side table.

Confetti falling down from the sky means Storm is expecting her second child. Kiyoshi is a little panicked at the prospect of two kids but he’s got this. Also Storm will be done with her last semester and should graduate before the newboo show’s itself.

Logan likes to imitate Luna.

Storm comes home from her E-Sports meeting and passes out before she reaches the bed.

Last minute skilling leads to no birthday cake for Logan. He is very handsome and so far looks a lot like his dad. He rolled Adventurous and Rambunctious Scamp. He does get the Happy Toddler trait.

He cries about the broken doll house that Cloud broke before he was even born, but I guess his sadness was just compounded by not having a cake as well.

Storm completes her finals and gets a B average grade and will graduate tomorrow.

Logan being a big help taking out the trash especially with these dust puddles that seem to pile up around this house rather quickly.

Graduation day finally arrived! She graduated with a B+.

Here is Storm with her diploma. Hopefully hers will stick around. Claudia recycled Ren’s when she was a teen.

Storm: Doing your homework is very important Logan. I should know I just got a job with a signing bonus of 1,369 Simoleons, and it’s all thanks to my education.

Kiyoshi had a rough day at work so uses the bar, for the first time, to make himself a drink. Luna is judging him so hard right now.

I mean look at that side eye!

Storm went into labor and Kiyoshi freaks out and runs to the other side of the hospital. He stays there for the rest of the birth. Storm had a smooth delivery, no heart removal incidents occurred.

Storm gives birth to a baby girl we name Rouge.

And that is where I’ll end the chapter, but I do have some family updates.


Family Updates!

Storm and Cloud’s sister Elaine Akana is now a YA.

Kiyoshi’s brother Nobu Ito. I have no idea why his hair is blond though.

Carwyn Ibarra-Moon’s, son to Esme Moon, kids aged up. First we have Ashton Whiting-Moon. Second Roberto Tinker-Moon and twin sister Sonia. Sawyer, Angelique and Gael are all Carwyn’s kids with his wife Dylan.

Louis Moon’s kids are also YAs now. Yvette, Daniel and Paul.

Colt Cotton-Moon is Gallagher Cotton-Moon’s son. Gallagher is Eros Moon’s son.

Otara’s kids Antonie, Frances and Michele Dubois.

Lestat’s sons Marius and Magnus are now fathers.

Chapter 6.2: Starting a Life Together

We start off the chapter with Storm proposing to Kiyoshi. He happily said yes.

I swear to you Cloud has shorts on even if the nude gnome in the corner would have you think other wise.

Rain happily does her homework.

Storm prepares a Harvestfest grand meal and the whole family enjoys.

Sky gets her portrait done and I have to get a strategic angle in order to get the screen behind her in the frame.

Being an active sim Rain spends quite a bit of time in the home gym.

Cloud finds a spare journal to write in. Also I’m giving up on the laundry in this game, it’s too glitchy.

Claudia finishes the painting she is working on! She knows from experience how hard the TH has to work and is making it easier on her daughter. She also gained the single and loving it lifestyle. Storm has that one too, but that will change.

I think this pose is Storm being proud of herself for getting straight As her first semester at Uni.

Siblings goofing off.

It was time for these two love birds to tie the knot!

This is the face of an elegant blushing bride. I had to end the event early because for some reason the caterer, mixologist and entertainer didn’t show up. Storm made her own sandwich.

Back home the couple takes some wedding photos. There both so cute!

And spend their first night as a married couple. No try for baby yet I want Storm further in her Uni career before a bundle of joy joins the family.

Kiyoshi is Romantic, Adventurous and Jealous. And bonus trait is Chopstick savvy.

After the wedding Claudia had her birthday. I forgot to give her a cake. I did give her a bit of a makeover.

It also happens to be Ben’s birthday. He did get a cake unlike poor Claudia.

It seems to be a day of birthday’s as Luna is now an adult cat.

Luna looking majestic next to the flowers.

I was going to wait till Storm graduated for her to have kids as I only plan for them to have three, but it is getting a little boring for an ISBI.

After some study time Storm had some cuddles form Luna. These two are the best of friends.

Kiyoshi looks rather pleased with himself. And he should as he came home with a promotion to Pencil Pusher.

Storm also came home with a promotion to Teammate from her E-sports career.

Claudia all on her own upgraded Sky’s bed! Claudia is the best 😉

Sky and Cloud came home tense. Sky is in a mood swing and I think Cloud had a bad day at school due to a chance encounter. Cloud was a little more productive in calming down with yoga where as Sky just listened to really loud metal music.

Claudia is perhaps one of my more interesting former TH or just non-controllable sim as she just hacked Llamacorn Listserve and acquired a whopping 42 simoleans.

Winterfest rolled around and Storm was the only one to reap the full benefits, but she did cook the others a grand meal. I forgot to take a picture of them eating a meal together 😦

It’s Clouds birthday and since Strom needs to earn a silver on a dinner party she throws Cloud a “birthday party” and invites some family members including their sister Elaine.

Cloud rolled Dog Lover, gets his portrait done and moves out to Brindleton Bay and gets a dog he names Tiffa.

Here she is in all her glory.

Chapter 6.1: Settling In

Last time Storm was announced as the generation 6th heir. Storm adopted a ragdoll cat named Luna, she is adorable. Storm and Cloud’s father passed away, also the repairwoman died on the lot. Cloud is now a teen and Rain brought home an A. Storm met and moved in her friend, and potential lover/spouse, Kiyoshi Ito.


We start off the chapter with the sisters jammin’ out to some tunes.

Kiyoshi makes himself at home chatting away while Storm is trying to do her homework.

Cloud learns the Research and Debate skill talking to himself at the mirror. He didn’t do this very long just long enough to start the skill.

Ben: So you’re the new guy around here. Nice to meet you, I hope you can survive this mad house. It takes a certain mindset to cope in this house.

Kiyoshi: Well everyone seems nice….

Ben: Oh, no! Everyone is great here, just they don’t know what they’re doing most of the time.

The ghosts over run the house! Really it’s mostly Jude and Claire. From time to time I’ll see Zoey or Ren and Caleb but most of the plumbing breaking is due to Jude and Claire.

Kiyoshi cooks!

Storm goes over to meet her sister Elaine. Afu’s genes are strong as she looks more like her sister Elaine and brother Cloud than she does Sky and Rain.

The youth festival was happening in Mt. Komorebi so Storm brings Rain with her and Kiyoshi. But I couldn’t control Rain so she just stood there while Storm and Kiyoshi flirted…awkward. They all eventually went home.

Kiyoshi and Storm are at that point in their relationship were they can share a bed.

Claudia: So dad how’s the afterlife treating you?

Caleb: Can’t really complain, I get most of the benefits of life with out all the downsides like paying for bills.

Kiyoshi looks very handsome in his work suit.

This repair man is the worst! He spent all of his time trying to fix the stereo only to leave it broken and then try to charge me for it. Sucks for him that I have free services.

Storm is off to train with her E-sports team.

The repair man comes back without me having to call him back. I guess he realized how shitty a job he did in the first place and came back to make it right. And I believe he fixes the stereo this time.

Rain has her birthday and rolls Freegan and Successful Lineage.

These two get their flirt on! And look so cute doing it too!

Poor Kiyoshi came home from work and got electrocuted by lightning, though I didn’t see him get struck.

They cook non-stop! Yet they don’t eat what they cook instead they eat ice cream or quick meals! So very frustrating. Though if I leave food in the cauldron they’ll eat what’s in that.

Sky face plants again loosing the house 5 pts.

It’s Sky’s birthday and she rolled Cheerful. Her other traits are Creative and Foodie. Her aspiration is to be a Master Vampire. I have yet to decide whether or not I’m going to make her a vampire before she moves out.


Cousin Carwyn and wife Dylan are expecting again.

Cousin Gallagher got married to Kimber Joyson. Gallagher is the son to Eros Moon.

Lestat and his wife Kiri’s triplets Maharet, Magnus and Marius Moon.

Otara’s son and daughter Antonie and Francis DuBois.

Carwyn’s children Ashton Whiting-Moon, Sonia Tinker-Moon and twin brother Roberto Tinker-Moon, and daughter Angelique Ibarra-Moon. Angelique is the only child he has with wife Dylan, though they are expecting their second.

Chapter 6.0: Storm

Major events that happened last chapter were Sky had her teen birthday. Claudia’s brothers Lestat and Louie have passed. And Storm is now a Young Adult and there was an heir poll at the end of the chapter. We’ll as you have probably deduced from the title Storm was the winner of the heir poll having 2 on boolprop and 3 here; the third point was from me as I couldn’t figure out another way to view the results on wordpress, so really she had two from wordpress. Sky came in second with one vote on each platform.

Storm: Now that your long rambling explanation of my winning is done it’s time to get on with my reign!

Since our TH is a cat lover and I haven’t played with pets for a while I decided to get Storm a cat. Meet Luna Moon, she is a ragdoll.

Storm also enrolls in university at Brightchester in the distinguished Culinary Arts degree.

Sky immediately passes out after coming home from school earning me a -5pts.

However Rain makes up for it by bringing home an A +5. So I even out.

The repairwoman came to the house but before she could repair anything she dies as the grim reaper poofs in to collect her soul. Most of the family come to mourn her as she was a good repairwoman. Storm ends up putting her urn in her inventory.

Luna being a cat, though I’ve never seen a cat roll around in dirty sink water.

Claudia decided to knit and she actually made some socks. They were of poor quality but maybe you will see them in the future.

I had Claudia use her adult action to take a picture of Storm, now Storm is immortalized for future generations. Though she completely missed the backdrop. Every time I have a sim stand on the mark for their picture to be taken they move off of it when their picture is actually taken; when it’s the backdrop from the Moschino pack.

It’s Cloud’s birthday! He rolls Childish and Master Mixologist.

Cloud is not impressed by Luna. I pre rolled his traits when I did the heir poll and his last trait is Dog Lover, I guess it’s just meant to be as after this picture he just walks around Luna and heads for the gym.

Storm heads off to Britechester to see what College life is like. She’s not super impressed there was one eligible sim out in the court yard, but Storm still needs to keep her options open. She did witness a fight between the Britechester mascot and the Foxbury Institute mascot. Britechester won, they were on their home turf after all.

In the library she meet this guy with the unfortunate mustache and interesting head wear given the shirt he is wearing. Storm talked to him a little bit then he bounced.

Her eating habits are very attractive for future suiters are they not?

She then went to Mt. Komorebi and meet Kiyoshi Ito. The two hit it off, but it was getting late and Kiyoshi had to leave.

Back home Ben is having a hot-headed moment and decides he can’t stand the sight of the doll house.

Cloud: Another one for the ladies of simstagram!

Poor Luna is afraid of the stereo. I believe her traits are skittish, mischievous and friendly but don’t quote me on that.

Just hiding out, no biggie.

Storm and Cloud’s father, Afu, passed away.

Her siblings stay near her in her time of grief, even when she’s sleeping. Also she has a computer in her room.

Claudia is also mourning her dear friend and once lover. Ben stays near her side while also reading up on vampires.

Storm invites Kiyoshi over to help take her mind off her father’s recent passing. She gets a little flirty but doesn’t progress much in the romantic department yet. She does however invite him to move in and he said yes!

I was reading Kiyoshi’s wiki page and it says he has a crush on Kaori Nishidake who has the same hairstyle as Storm, which was not intentional at all.

Kiyoshi gets a job as a salary person. We’ll see if he can get any promotions in that career but I might switch him out later when Storm completes her degree.


Cousin Carwyn had a daughter with his Wife Dylan. Carwyn is the son of Esme Moon who was Claudia’s Aunt.

Cousin Emery is having a child with her husband Tetsu. Tetsu is also our maid. Emery is the daughter of Eros Moon who was Claudia’s Uncle.

Chapter 5.5: The Last of Her Generation

Last time on the Moons: Storm helped out by taking care of her younger siblings. Cloud was not to be outdone by his sister and did some cleaning around the house. Ben showed up and asked Claudia out on a date and by the end of it Claudia had asked him to move in. Rain had her child birthday.


Rain continues to have a festering bitterness towards her mom for some reason.

Sky: Hey Cloud, check this out *silly face*

Cloud: Oh yeah, well try to top this one!

Sky: Dude, that was the exact face I did!

Cloud: No it wasn’t, mine was better!

I guess Storm decided that playing in the scrap pile was much more fun than cleaning it up.

Sky’s birthday rolled around and I remembered to get her a cake. She rolled Foodie like her grandfather Caleb and wants to be a Master Vampire.

It is a sad day indeed. Lestat has passed on.

Not to be undone by her siblings Sky cleans through her sadness.

I moved Claudia into her parent’s old bedroom and made up Claudia’s old room for Storm.

Sky cries through her sadness as she does her laundry.

Cousin Emmitt shows up after school with the kids. He and Sky work on their homework together.

It’s Love Day and Claudia has a home date with Ben and gifts him a rose.

Otara got married and is expecting.

Ben found the pool, just don’t die on me, okay?

Storm brews up some mac and cheese in the cauldron. This seems to be the preferred method of cooking amongst the NTHs.

Rain being her active self going accross the monkey bars.

Storm actually finished painting and Claudia sold it on plopsy for a good profit.

Cloud is being positively un-bear-able.

Sky utilizes the gym downstairs.

Ben makes himself useful and cleans the bathtub!

Family dance Party! Claudia’s not here because she is at work.

Louis came by for a visit and the siblings got to talking about life.

Cloud playing around in the trash.

Cloud got an A! +5pts. He looks very pleased with himself.

And Ben came home with a promotion to Locker Room Attendant.

Uh………………………………….this is very awkward. I can’t remember who was first in the bathroom but both of them stood there for an uncomfortably long time before Cloud got out of the bathroom.

It’s Storm’s birthday so I had Claudia write her an excuse note to get out of school for the day. I didn’t get the final birthday notification until the night though, but it’s good she got they day off.

The fabrication skill takes so long to level up!

Then Claudia get’s the notification that her brother Louis passed away 😥 . Claudia is now the last of her generation.

This picture is to show off the table and chairs Claudia fabricated. I prefer the round table but I’ll stick with this for a while just for something different. Plus Claudia made it so it’s a bit more special.

It’s finally Storm’s birthday and Claudia made her a Honey cake. Storm’s last trait is Cat Lover. Her other traits are Kleptomaniac, Glutton and she got in range for Responsible. She aspires to be a Master Chef so also has the Essence of Flavor trait.

Here are all the potential heirs in all their glory! We have a pretty diverse group here. You can vote here and on boolprop.net. Family updates below.


Yvette, Daniel and Paul Moon-Hudson triples of Louis and his wife Aubrie.

Sonia and Roberto Tinker-Moon twins of Carwyn Ibarra-Moon and Carlo Tinker. And Ashton Whiting-Moon, Carwyn’s son with Isis Whiting.

Claudia’s cousin Amadeus and his wife Gloria had a daughter Rocio.

Antonie and Frances Dubois, Otara’s kids with husband Mark.

Elaine Akana, Storm and Cloud’s sister.

Ethan and Eric Moon, Eros’ son’s with Bess Sterling.

Chapter 5.4: Little Helpers

Last time Storm had her teen birthday, poor Cloud had his childhood birthday without cake and Rain was born and had her toddler birthday. There were a few fails but nothing the Moons can’t recover from. But that was pretty much it for last chapter. So onward!

We’ll start off this chapter with Claudia helping Sky with her homework.

Cloud is still shaking off the blues form his non-birthday, poor baby. He did achieve Happy Toddler.

Claudia is really making sure her kids get their education! Though they could have picked a better location.

Claudia: Hey honey, what’s got you so upset

Rain: Hugwy! Now!

Claudia: Okay, Okay!

Animal crackers for breakfast.

Finally her eldest kids finished their homework and her little one fed Claudia was able to achieve the second milestone for her aspiration! Now she is on tier 3.

However with a toddler in the house Claudia doesn’t get a break for long.

Otara came by for a visit so I was tempted for them to try for baby one more time. They were still unsuccessful. Which is probably for the best as Rain will be a child soon and I think I’m done with the type of crazy a toddler brings to an ISBI, for this generation of course.

Storm is vying for next TH. She takes care of little Rain just like Lestat took care of his younger siblings.

And her mother notices all of her hard work.

Sky still tortures us with the sound of her violin playing just like Storm and her mother did when they were children.

Claudia has to make sure she periodically has things to recycle so she is not tempted to recycle objects from the home. When she is no longer the TH she will probably go back to swiping un-replaceable things like portraits.

Looks like Cloud finally got out of his funk and is giving his sister Storm a run for her money as next TH.

He is really going for it. Though he may have been the one to make that mess, but since I didn’t see who did it it would be unfair of me to meligne his good name.

Claudia achieves level 10 in parenting. At this point Claudia is just trying to ensure Rain has a happy toddlerhood. Though any time Claudia is in the vicinity of Rain, Rain gets angry or sad sentiments. I think it’s because when Claudia was potty training Rain, Rain became defiant.

The siblings all have a good relationship with one another.

Claudia highered a one time maid to help her clean but since she called on a weekend he didn’t show up till Monday and most things were clean, but some of the plumbing was broken so all he ended up doing was mopping up endless puddles. But it seems he is a recycle disciple like Claudia.

The kids come back from school all looking rather pleased with themselves. Storm’s kleptomaniac trait struck again and she swiped a poster from school. At least it’s something I can use rather than the dirty dishes she used to steal as a child.

Storm chats to Rain about her escapades at school.

Not to be out done Sky gives her sister a big hug!

Ben comes by periodically to check in on his daughters and Claudia. I haven’t seen Afu in a while by now he is an elder but still kicking.

Claudia ended up doing all of Clouds project cause he didn’t stick around long after this picture was taken.

Storm achieved the coveted A grade! +5.

Now that she has that A she is working just as hard to keep it. I didn’t even have to have Caudia influence her.

Rain finally leaves toddlerhood behind and says hello to a more self sufficient life stage, childhood. Rain rolled Active and Whiz Kid.

While her older siblings are at school Rain helps out around the house.

Well sort of, she still is a kid after all.

As Claudia comes home with a promotion Ben askes her out on a date!

Ben takes her to this bar in Mt.Komorebi.

Where she challenges Ben and a few others to a game of Don’t wake the Llama, where she loses and is completely embarrassed by the whole experience.

Her next whim she rolled was to be mischievous to Ben. This date is going swimmingly. Ben actually thought it was funny so I guess it wasn’t too bad.

The date did heat up eventually but Ben was getting overwhelmed with the crowds as he is a Loner.

Claudia: Hey Ben, how would you like to move in with me….and the kids of course. I know you like your privacy…..

Ben: I’d actually enjoy that I’ve missed too much of our girls lives already and I think I would enjoy the company.

Ben gets a job in the Athletics career. Hi traits are Loner, Hot-Headed, and Ambitious. His aspiration is Galactic Privateer which won’t be completed unfortunately.

Cloud: How do you feel about Ben moving in?

Storm: Well even though he isn’t our father he is Sky and Rain’s dad so it’s good for them and if he makes mom happy then I’m cool with it, but it is a little weird.

Cloud: Yeah weird.

And that’s where the chapter will end but we do have some family updates.


Cousin Orpheus, Lilith’s son, had daughter Yusun, with hubby Ryker Sterling.

Cousin Carwyn, Esme’s son, had twins with baby daddy Carlo Tinker. One son Roberto and daughter Sonia.

Carwyn and his wife Dylan Ibarra-Moon.

Amadeus and his wife Gloria Ibarra-Moon.

Paul, Daniel and Yvette Moon triplets of Louis and wife Aubrie Moon. I have no idea how Paul and Daniel have red eyes as both of their parents have brown, but I do have a beauty pack installed so that maybe contributing or just latent genetics popping out.

Maharet, Magnus and Marius triplets to Lestat and wife Kiri Moon.

Here is Emmitt Moon son to Eros and Bess Moon. Last chapter I said he was one of a set of triplets which was incorrect his brothers are twins.

And here is Afu’s daughter, Elane, with Olive Tinker Akana. So Storm and Clouds sister.

Such an imaginative title, I know, anyway….Last time Claudia and Otara failed to get pregnant for the 5th time so Claudia friended Otara and the later moved out. Claudia then had a son, Cloud, with Afu and then got pregnant with Ben’s child. Sky is now a child and Cloud is a toddler.

We kick off the chapter with Claudia giving birth to another girl, Rain Moon.

When Claudia comes back form work she passes out upstairs just feet from her room. Though I can’t blame her she gave birth then went to work! -5pts

Cloud works on his communication skills looking rather sad though.

Claudia is slowly working on her aspiration. This machine keeps breaking and I lose valuable bits and pieces!

Cloud is such a cutie!

The girls come home happy with their good grades, but Sky was exhausted and passed out on the floor earning another -5pts. 😦

Mother and son spend some quality time together.

Storm decides to to her homework. The kids this generation are just ok at getting their homework done. I do have to get Claudia to influence them more than any generation before.

Rain has her toddler birthday and rolls Silly as her trait. She too inherits her father’s unfortunate pointy chin.

Shortly after Rain’s birthday Claudia has her own, though sadly without cake.

Some sister bonding moments.

Sky shows us her responsible side. Though I doubt any of the kids this gen are going to receive character traits, but they may surprise me.

Storm celebrates her birthday and blows out her candles, which her eyes look very freaky, and makes a wish. She adds Glutton to her traits. Kleptomaniac being the other. She also aspires to be a Master Chef. The last master chef of the family was her 4xs great-grandfather Jude Moon.

Cloud continues to work on his communication skills, this time with his mom.

Claudia changed from the astronaut career to painter. She is just always tired and has no time to work on her aspiration. So I’m hoping the painter career will be a little easier for her.

Louis comes over for a visit. I have to check to see if Lestat has keys to the house, or if he’s still alive, as I haven’t seen him in a while.

Storm is really jockeying for heir TH status by taking care of her little sister. In the last picture she looks rather pleased with herself and Rain looks like she got away with something. And their outfits kind of match.

Not sure that’s a good and balanced meal there Rain.

Claudia helps out Cloud with his thinking skill. And those potties are gross BTW.

Claudia gets to work on one of her work tasks and gets to make a bit extra simoleons.

Rain throw a tantrum because she is tired but she has learned her potty skill, I think, then she passes out only to wake up and go into her sister’s bedroom and make a mess.

Claudia is getting Cloud’s thinking skill to level 3 so he at least can get Happy Toddler.

Sky finds the Violin only to ruin her and everyone’s ear drums with how awful she sounds.

With no cake to make a wish on poor Cloud sparkles into childhood. He rolls Loner and Rambunctious Scamp.


Family Updates

Chapter 5.2: Family: Wanted or Otherwise

Last chapter Strom became a child and Sky was born and subsequently became a toddler. Both Ren and Caleb passed away and I miss them terribly 😥 . Ren was unsuccessful in TFB with Otara several times! Her relationship with both of her baby daddies fell a bit. Let’s see what this chapter has in store for Claudia!

Claudia: And that is how you solve that equation.

Storm: Thanks mom, you’re the best!

And with that interaction Claudia has a pristine reputation.

And because I’m a glutton for punishment, and I like the idea of having pink hair’d kiddos, Claudia and Otara try again for a baby and yet again are denied. I guess it really wasn’t meant to be for these two.

Afu comes by and Claudia quickly rebuilds her relationship with him and is successful on the first try for baby!

Afu takes the news pretty much the same as last time. I didn’t get a picture of it but after his initial reaction he laughed it off like last time.

Afu: So uh….you’re going to get another sibling.

Storm: That’s cool.

Also I just noticed the doll Storm has looks like it’s a part of her outfit.

Ren and Caleb came for a visit! Storm went right to Ren to talk to her. Caleb looks very pleased with himself, he probably broke something.

Claudia: Hey Otara, I don’t think this is working out for us, I think we should just remain friends.

Otara: Yeah, I’d be cool with that.

Otara wasn’t bumed at all when Claudia didn the “just friends” interaction. Otara moved out of Claudia’s house and moved in with Afu and his other roommate.

Otara came by the next day and gave a crafted gift to Claudia. Then Claudia handed her the key to the house.

Claudia is now on her second milestone for her aspiration. I forgot to do the scoring at the end of the last chapter so I will do it at the end of this chapter.

Lestat got married, he also has triplets with Kiri. And despite his noncommittal trait Afu settled down with Olive Tinker.

When Claudia went to work Nanny Gibbs came over to look after Sky. He pretty much cooked one meal and that was it.

Storm came home from school and decided to make a mess. I think this was the first mess she made. She also swiped a doll from school. And that doll was worth like 345 simoleans! But she did bring home and A! +5

Poor Claudia made it all the way to the bathroom only to pee herself in front of the toilet. -5

Ben comes by and Claudia starts to rebuild her relationship with him.

Later that night Claudia gives birth to her son Cloud.

Sky is not happy at all at having a little brother. That chin man, I really hope she grows into it.

Some sister bonding time. I think Sky is trying to form an early alliance with her sister against the potential threat of a brother.

We interrupt your regular schedule programing to introduce you to Lestat and Kiri’s triplets! From left to right we have Maharet, Magnus and Marius. All were named after characters from Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned book.

When we come back Ben is trying to figure out what Cloud wants. He eventually gives up without success, but hey at least he tried right?

Storm comes by as well to see what her brother wants but since she is only a child is unable to help him much.

After Storm leaves and Claudia figures out what Cloud wants she and Ben get down to baby makin’ business. They are successful on the first try. I don’t know what the problem was with Otara, I have never had that many TFBs go unsuccessful.

Just some pictures of the sisters playing.

Project time and mom is in for the assist. They both don’t keep at it for long Claudia is dead tired and…

Storm decided to do the laundry. Well I guess if you’re going to skip out on homework I can’t get too mad if you are going to use your time productively.

Also my game is being weird and not letting me actually wash the laundry. They will put it in the machine but the only option is to put it in the dryer, before they wash it. But once in the dryer it wont let them dry the clothes.

Storm also made some autumn decorations.

Sky is exhausted and takes it out on Storms project.

She then consoles herself by hugging Uni. She also happens to be starved for attention. This generation I’m having a rough time keeping everyone happy. Claudia hasn’t worked on any skills for work and has barely done anything for her aspiration.

Look Uncle Louis came by for a visit!

Claudia has officially “popped” and is expecting her fourth child and second child with baby daddy Ben.

Double birthday!

First up Sky: She rolled Creative just like her mama and aspires to be an Artistic Prodigy. Her chin does jut out a little bit when you look at her profile so we still have to wait to see if she really grows into it but I am hopeful.

Next up Cloud: He rolled Angelic and looks the part. Cloud inherited his dad’s hair and eye color.

And I think I will end the post here. I’ll have some family updates below.


Cousin Otieno had daughter Halle with Sonia. I’ll have to go around manage worlds and take pictures of their kids.

It’s so weird to me that Lestat is already an elder.

Another sibling for Storm and Cloud.

Cousin Amadeus got married. I don’t think I took a picture of him as an adult so another picture added to my list.

Chapter 5.1: Plans

Claudia went back to Batuu at the end of the last chapter. She is only here long enough to become romantic interests with Otara Norith and friends with Kylo Ren. I end up cloning Kylo Ren so I can have him in Claudia’s neighborhood when she gets back to Strangerville. Aso she asks Orenth to move in with her.

Otara’s aspiration is to be a Joke Star so she gets a career in the entertainment industry. Otara’s traits are Good, Active and Ambitious.

Ren picks up a stinky Storm but doesn’t change her diaper.

Ren: Of course I don’t that’s what her mom is for. I’m retired remember.

I guess I didn’t lock the crypt. Otara spends a lot of her time here crying over sims she has never met.

Otara: It’s just so sad ya know…..death and all.

Once she is done bawling she eyes out Otara works out.

Otara: I just have to work off this excess emotion.

Ren maybe retired but she is making the family money. Watch out world Ren is going to rule the world hahahah!

Otara and Claudia try for baby but were unsuccessful. 😦

Storm’s birthday is here and she is a cutie!

She may be a cutie but she is a Fussy toddler.

Claudia reads her to sleep.

Afu come over but doesn’t see his daughter.

Just some adorable toddler spam. Storm looks a lot like Claudia right now.

Well I guess she’s all done with that. Ren takes her out of the high chair and then Caleb puts her back in and gives her a dish from Batuu that Claudia prepared and she finished eating that no problem.

Dancing break!

Otara comes home with a promotion!

And to celebrate Otara and Claudia TFB again but are successful yet again.

Afu finally meets Storm. Though he seems preoccupied with the clay.

I forget why she is crying, I assume she devastated her TFB was unsuccessful.

She goes over to her new neighbor’s house and somehow gets into a happy mood and askes him out on a date.

The do some flirting, get their first kiss in and successfully TFB in the nightclub’s closet

She gets a picture of her second baby daddy. I forgot to introduce him. He is the clone to Kylo Ren, but uses his given name Ben Skywalker.

Back at home I catch Storm taking a nap on the chair her mom fabricated.

As it stands right now Claudia has a better romantic relationship with Otara but is better friends with Ben and is actually considered Soulmates with Ben, Sweetharts with Otara and lovers with Afu.

Otara surprises me with another promotion!

Claudia is in a tense mood cause she recycled a picture of her grandmother Vanessa. Luckily we have a duplicate of that picture down in the tomb. I probably should lock the tomb so Claudia doesn’t recycle any more priceless family heirlooms.

Claudia fabricated this desk.

Best. Grandpa. Ever!

It looks like Ben is taking a photo of Storm but I think he’s just browsing the web or something.

Poor Claudia is having a rough time. She passed out trying to get Storm’s needs up. -5

With sparkles and a twirl Claudia gives birth to her second daughter Sky. +5

So my game does this thing sometimes where my sims won’t do any action but walk or move where they stand and resetting them doesn’t work, but what does work is going to another household and briefly playing that household and when I say brif I mean like a second or two. So what should happen when I do this? Caleb and Ren decide it would be a good time to die. Luckily their urns are in the family inventory.

Fourth time’s the charm, right? No, no it is not.

Louis comes by for a visit and cleans out Storm’s potty.

Time flies and it’s Storm’s birthday!

Storm rolls Kleptomaniac and aspires to be a Rambunctious Scamp.

One of the first things she does after becoming a child is brows the web for mummies?

She meets her sister and I think she is happy about it.

Fifth time? No! I am losing hope on these two.

Otara was dead tired before the woohoo. -5

I missed her passing out. -5

Sky gets her mother’s grey eyes and her father’s pointy chin, hopefully she will grow into it. She rolls Clingy.

Just some more toddler spam.

Storm comes home from school and she stole a book that she feels guilty/tense about taking. She also needs a shower.

Ben and Afu come over and Sky gets in on the conversation.

Claudia rolls the wish to woohoo with Otara and asks her in front of Afu and Ben.

Both are a bit devastated. And again Claudia and Otara were unsuccessful and that makes it 6 times they have tried! I think what I’m going to do is have Claudia have kids with Afu and Ben one more time each. That means Claudia will at least have 4 kids. That is if I can salvage their relationships. Claudia’s relationship with Afu didn’t change that much but her and Ben’s relationship tanked a little.

Anyway I will end this chapter here.

Chapter 5.0: Claudia Journeys to Batuu

Last chapter Ren handed the reins over to her daughter Claudia and her sons Lestat and Louis said their goodbys and left for Evergreen Harbour. And as the title says Claudia is headed to Batuu, but don’t worry I will only give the highlights of her trip as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone and I didn’t finish the story so there is that.

She explored to her heart’s content and met some cool friends, though upon returning to her own galaxy she couldn’t call those friends as she was too far away. So I guess a return trip is in order.

Claudia regailes her parents of the adventures she went on and the friends she met. Actually Caleb called her when she was gone to ask when they would see her again. It was really sweet.

Claudia enrolls in Britechester University as a Art History major mainly to meet new people I don’t think I will have her complete the degree. She also checks out the local pub and meets Afu who is pretty handsome. She also meets some young adults in the quad.

Ren: So how was the campus?

Claudia: It was very cool and full of history!

Ren: Well I guess if you’re going to study something as stuffy as art history you’re in the right place though I have no idea why you didn’t decide to study something more modern and go to Foxbury Institute.

Claudia: I wanted to do something different

And here is where someone called her and offered her a job in the astronaut career. I debated about it but eventually accepted thinking that the job would kick her out of university but it didn’t so we’ll see where that goes.

The ghosts still break everything in sight.

Being the neat sim that she is Ren cleans up around the house and even does the laundry. If only she would repair the broken things around the house.

Ren: I’m retired from TH business why would I do that stuff now that I’m autonomous!

Claudia is not two seconds into using the fabricator and it breaks on her! I sense that this aspiration is going to take a while to complete.

Lestat came over for a visit. I guess he sensed it was his parents birthday.

Some of the rooms around the house got a bit of a face lift so to speak. The laundry room was one.

Ren is done with her homework for the moment and needs to build up some fun. She has to improve her logic skill for work so she ropes her dad in for a game.

Ren you can mop all you want but until the sink gets fixed it’s not going to make much of a difference.

Ren: I’m not fixin it. Not my problem anymore.

I guess I can’t complain too much though.

Ren: Damn straight you can’t!

Winterfest arrives and Claudia is really ecstatic with a gift she received, but I can’t remember what it was.

Since Claudia is a recycle disciple it only seemed right to get a recycler. Also it will keep her from recycling things around the house.

Claudia invites Afu over and learns that he is a Freegan, Non-committal and a Loner. So he’s not marriage material but that doesn’t mean Claudia can’t have her fun.

And fun she did have. It was a try for baby action but I’m not going to have Claudia take a pregnancy test so we’ll have to wait to find out.

And then Caleb and Ren surprise me by autonomous woohoo. I have MCCC set for autonomous woohoo but it has never happened, that I’m aware of, in any of my saves.

Ren: Well I don’t know why it would be a surprise as Caleb is my husband, father to my children and love of my life.

While eating some leftover grand breakfast Claudia finds out she is expecting the first of generation 6! She tells her parents they are going to be grandparents.

Ren finally plays on the violin that Esme made for her a while back.

Claudia: So guess what Afu? Your going to be a dad!

Afu: *laughs hysterically and wipes a tear from his face* That’s a good one!

Claudia: Well that wasn’t quite the reaction I expected but whatever. Here’s the key to the house drop by whenever you want to bond with your child.

Afu: Oh wait you were serious?!

Claudia: Of course I am, but don’t worry I know your non committal so I don’t expect anything.

Here’s a closer look at Afu Akana after a makeover.

Ren and Caleb retire from their respective jobs. Ren reached level 10 in her career and Caleb never got passed level 2.

Claudia rolled a wish to Woohoo with Afu so I obliged her. This was the first time she wished for a specific interaction with anyone outside of her immediate family. To be honest I don’t have specific plans for Claudia so I’m just going to go off her wishes for now.

After her bit of fun with Afu she finishes her presentation. She also finished her term paper earlier and the term is almost up.

I started Claudia down the knitting path. And she knitted an excellent beanie on her first try!

I made a room for the cauldron in the basement I also moved the plants to this room.

Claudia got a picture of Afu for the family gallery.

She rolled the wish to make out with him so that happened. I also think the interact with baby animation is too cute to pass up. After she completed her wish to makeout with Afu she had no more wishes for him, for now.

She goes into labor on the second day of spring then she wets herself. -5

Claudia: When will this pain ever cease?

When Claudia finishes laboring she welcomes baby girl Storm Moon into the family. Since Claudia has the first eco trait of the family I decided to have the kids named after something in nature. +5

The nursery room is from the gallery by ilseanneresi. Luckily I didn’t have to fiddle too much to get the room in the house.

Then it’s back to Batuu to find potential baby daddies……or mommies. I think I will end the chapter here on this little cliffhanger.

Chapter 4.6: We’re All Idiots Here

08-26-20_9-07-51 PM.pngLestat needs to build his logic skill for his career and Ren needs some fun so I have Ren challenge Lestat to a game of chess.

08-26-20_9-09-41 PMSadly the money tree didn’t last long. We got one good harvest from it then I forgot to take care of it. 😥

08-26-20_9-24-35 PM.pngClaudia: Here Louis take a look at some funny cat videos.

Louis: Hahah……man I can’t believe that cat jumped so high!

So the Recycle Disciple trait strikes it’s first blow. Claudia decided to recycle one of the easels. Which I’m not too mad about since the family wasn’t really using it and they have the funds to buy another one if needed.

But just wait the trait will strike again! What will Claudia sacrifice next?

08-26-20_9-36-44 PM.pngCaleb: Pfht I can’t believe she calls this a dare! It’s rather quite refreshing out here in the breeze.

Ren wanted to be mischievous with Caleb so she dared him to streak.

08-28-20_8-50-36 AMCaleb reached level 6 of the video gaming skill. I might actually get one of my NTHs to max out a skill other than dancing.

08-28-20_8-56-00 AM.pngClaudia grills some fruit and luckily no fires! It occured to me recently that the reason the NTHs are cooking, more than usual, is that I have the Homey lot trait. I did switch it to Natural Lighting to help Ren paint masterpieces, so we’ll see if they continue to cook as much without the trait.

Since Ren is painting so much I decided to have her paint portraits of the family. First up is Caleb, I don’t believe his portrait is a masterpiece though.

08-28-20_10-14-23 AM.pngClaudia’s room got a bit of a makeover though there is more to come later.

08-28-20_8-34-11 PMLouis brings home a friend from school. I believe his name is Asa. They don’t really interact with eachother outside of this though.

08-28-20_8-42-31 PM.pngHe does end up painting and finishing a painting. It was only worth 80 simoleans.

08-28-20_8-44-05 PMClaudia also brings home a friend, Grace, who Ren chats up and tries to cheer up as well.

08-28-20_8-53-53 PM.pngThe N.A.P. Inspector isn’t too pleased with all of the upgrades Ren has been doing to the plumbing and appliances. Apparently we are not up to code on the energy saving electronics.

08-28-20_8-54-38 PMJust a picture of a father and daughter having quality meal time together.

Claudia’s need to recycle strikes again and this time I’m none too pleased with her. She recycled Ryder and Claire’s childhood photo. Something I can’t re-purchase.

*Side note: I do end up fixing Amy and Rose’s picture frame to match the rest of the frames.

08-28-20_9-07-50 PM.pngThough I’m none too pleased with her. Claudia on the other hand is very pleased with herself. Actually she gets sad when she has to recycle something from the house. I assume if I have her rummage and recycle she’d be much happier.

08-28-20_9-11-13 PMThis is probably my favorite generation to play so far. Everyone loves to hang out with eachother and everyone has maxed out friendship bars with eachother. And even when Ren randomly yells at someone it doesn’t affect their relationship too much.

08-28-20_9-13-57 PM.pngRen “helps” Claudia with her school project and by help I mean she does the project for her. Though to be fair to Claudia she skipped out on the project to go to school, but let’s be real here she would have skipped out anyway.

08-28-20_9-25-15 PMI thought this was kind of funny. Too much effort to write a review but took the effort to write this message?

08-28-20_9-40-31 PM.pngLestat’s portrait is a masterpiece! Though I’m not really happy with the angle but it takes too much effort to do another one.

08-28-20_9-42-49 PMI just love these two!

Claudia strikes again!

Ren: Claudia! How could you! Do you know how hard I worked to get that diploma! That picture was one of the happiest days of my life, outside of having you kids and marrying your father, and you destroyed that picture!

Claudia: Well you still have the diploma upstairs and you still have your memories…..

08-28-20_9-55-48 PM.pngOnce what she did sunk in though Claudia was very sad about it.

Louis: Man, I might have accidentally set fire to the grill and walked away, but you deliberately destroyed one of mom’s things! You are so done for.

Lesate: I can’t believe you did that!

Claudia: I know, okay guys! I feel terrible about it.

08-28-20_10-08-22 PMLestat comes home with a promotion to Wildlife Technician.

And it’s time for Louis to join his brother in young adulthood. His final trait is Self-Absorbed. He also earns the positive traits Compassion and Responsible giving me another +10 points. His other traits are Glutton, Cat Lover, Happy-Toddler, Weak Bloodline, Animal Affection and Frugal.

He got the Frugal trait thanks to MC command center. I had set it so a kid would have a random chance at inheriting one of their parents traits and I thought that meant one of their personality traits but it’s any trait so I think I disabled that but I have to double check.

08-28-20_10-16-52 PM.pngLouis got his portrait painted. I like his much better but it’s not a masterpiece.

It’s Love Day so I sent these two love birds out on a date. They went to a cafe in Windenburg and reminisce about old times then autonomously decided to woohoo in the bush, which luckily didn’t result in a pregnancy. But poor Caleb peed himself by the end of it. -5 points.

08-28-20_10-53-27 PM.pngBut I got this nifty achievement out of Caleb’s embarrassment.

Caleb: That doesn’t sooth my ego at all!

When Caleb and Ren get back from their date they hear their daughter’s shrill screams for help as she had set herself on fire! Luckily Ren was able to put her out, but I was in panic mode the whole time! -10pts.

08-28-20_11-06-14 PM.pngCaleb: My Plumbob Claudia! Don’t ever do that again! You almost gave me a heart attack.

Claudia: Don’t worry dad I have no plans on doing that EVER AGAIN!

Lestat: Good new is I don’t think Louis is the idiot of the family, bad news Claudia is the idiot.

08-29-20_9-03-27 AMI got the fabricator so Ren could make Eco upgrade parts to further along our compliance with the N.A.P.

08-29-20_9-14-23 AM.pngClaudia decides it’s much safer to cook in the Cauldron than on the grill.

08-29-20_9-27-40 AMGeneration 5s pictures are done and they are a handsome bunch.

08-29-20_9-29-59 AM.pngTheir portraits are also done.

08-29-20_9-34-44 AMThen Claudia just has to recycle Louis’ portrait, which just so happens to be my favorite!

08-29-20_9-37-53 AM.pngRen: If you have to recycle something, recycle something I can easily replace!

08-29-20_9-40-01 AMClaudia: euh I think I’m gonna be sick. Bro you have a seriously disgusting rash all over your body.

Both Louis and Claudia are sick with a different illness. I put medicine in their inventory just to see if they use it. Spoiler alert: they don’t end up using it.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Ren and Lestat got in an argument over something. Then Ren ended up looking pleased with herself but I don’t know why cause………

08-29-20_9-46-08 AM.pngNobody won the argument.

08-29-20_10-11-40 AMRen repaints Louis’ portrait, which turns out to be a masterpiece, but I liked the other one much better.

08-29-20_3-01-11 PMJust a picture of the boys.

08-29-20_4-35-16 PMI guess I can’t complain too much as this generation went by with, probably, the least amount of failure.

08-29-20_3-39-39 PM.pngRen does complete her last milestone and achieved her aspiration!

08-29-20_5-15-21 PM.pngIt’s time for the youngest of the family to enter young adulthood. Claudia’s last trait is Foodie just like her dad. She also achieved the positive traits of: Compassionate, Mediator and Responsible which gives me a +15pts. Her other traits are: Creative, Recycle Disciple, Happy-Toddler, Weak Bloodline and Muser.

Claudia hugs her brother’s goodby as they head out to Evergreen Harbor. Which makes Claudia the heir to generation 5! She had 3 votes on boolprop and one on my wordpress poll. Louis was second with one on each and Lestat in 3rd place with only one vote.

Chapter 4.5: The Gift of Family

08-23-20_4-17-33 PM.pngLast chapter the family got the notification that Uncle Thaddeus died and everyone is very sad. Ren hugs and uses share emotional burden with Lestat to get rid of his sad moodlet.

08-23-20_4-18-35 PM.pngRen: IDON’TKNOWWHYI’MYELLINGATYOUBUTIKNOWI’LLREGRETIT!

08-23-20_4-19-16 PMRen: I’m so sorry son please forgive me!

Lestat: Hmmmm……..I’ll think about it.

Ren: ……

Lestat: Lightin up ma’ of course I forgive you.

Louis: Hmmm that’s odd…..what is that smell? *Sniffs self* Yep that’s definitely me, I’ll go take a shower after I enjoy these scrumptious hamburgers. -10pts

Caleb: FIRE!!!!!!!!

Ren: Well I better go check that out. Good thing I still have my bicycle in my inventory.

Caleb + Lestat: FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!

Ren: Take that fire!

Fireman: Woohoo the fire is out!

Ren: Don’t look too pleased with yourself. You literally did nothing.

Fireman: Well I’m off be careful next time ma’am.

08-23-20_4-43-59 PM.pngI just thought it was cool Lestat is playing air guitar. The family has been listening to Metal recently, that and folk music.

Ren goes around to share emotional burdens with her children and relieve them or lessen their sad moods. Ren still has two days of sadness left while everyone else is down to a few hours or the moodlet is gone completely.

08-23-20_4-54-27 PM.pngCaleb is a really good spouse and father. He will even sometimes cook and not just a single plate either.

08-23-20_4-56-15 PMEsme comes over and she and Louis bond over the loss of Thaddeus. Caleb looks pissed, but I think he is just tense cause we haven’t bought anything new in a while. He is materialistic after all.

08-23-20_5-09-51 PM.pngIt looks like Caleb is about to hit Louis over the head.

Caleb: Well I’m not going to hit my son, though if I were he’d deserve it for starting that fire and just walking away!

Claudia: Yeah how could you do something so idiotic?

Louis: Sorry I just had food on the brain. Then I had to take a shower. I didn’t take one before school.

Ren: Come here let’s spar like we used to!

Caleb: Huh…ahhh………wait!

Claudia: Wooooo Mom kicked dads ass!

Don’t worry it’s neighborhood brawl day the fight actually  was a positive interaction.

08-23-20_5-30-09 PM.pngPeanut came by for a visit. I guess he sensed a cat lover is in the house since he doesn’t visit often.

08-23-20_5-34-19 PMEros had his second child and first son with his second baby mama. His son’s name is Elisha which I might have to change latter.

08-23-20_6-29-44 PM.pngClaudia just looking adorable.

08-23-20_6-42-36 PMRen has reached level 9 handiness. Also she made the robotic arm on the Robotics table. It increases robotic and crafting skills and also reduces the chances of shock. I also think it should increase handiness skill, but whatever. Ren has also reached level 10 in the robotics skill, but since she is the TH it doesn’t count for points.

08-24-20_8-04-51 AM.pngClaudia found the violin in her room. I had to reset her after a while cause she was playing for hours.

08-24-20_8-09-55 AMDuring the night Jude came by and painted this painting. It’s not a masterpiece but Jude painted it so I kept it.

08-24-20_8-11-46 AM.pngI got the notification that Peanut’s spirit was fading so I had Ren restore it along with Jude, Zoe, Claire and Vanessa. Sadly I think the other family members spirits have faded away. Ren was away at Uni when Marty died so I don’t even have an Urn for him. 😥

08-24-20_8-49-24 AMRen reached level 10 in handiness and was able to visit the Grotto. She only collected a frog there and left.

08-24-20_8-52-35 AM.pngShe then went to the museum to view 3 pieces of art for her aspiration. She then got a call from Louis challenging her to a duel at the duel grounds. She gladly accepted.

She of course one being the more experienced spellcaster.

08-24-20_9-01-27 AM.pngEros didn’t marry either of his baby mamas and instead married Riya Srinivasan.

08-24-20_9-16-50 AMIt’s Winterfest and the family sits down for a grand breakfast minus Louis cause he’s sleeping. 

08-24-20_9-17-35 AM.pngI just love Ren’s expression here and Lestat simstagraming his breakfast. I don’t catch Louis on his phone ever, not that he doesn’t use it I just haven’t seen it yet.

08-24-20_9-20-13 AMEsme comes over and she is now an elder. Ren gives Esme a recording drone and Esme loves it.

08-24-20_9-22-37 AM.pngThen the family gathers around the tree and opens presents. Claudia is hiding behind Caleb.

08-24-20_9-25-09 AMWith all of the Winterfest goings on I forgot it was Ren’s adult birthday. Happy Birthday Ren! Also Caleb is suffering from the itching sickness.

08-25-20_7-43-17 AM.pngLouis eats his first spoiled dish. He is a true Glutton now.

08-25-20_8-12-15 AMThe Money Tree grew and Ren collected her first crop. This is the first money tree I have had in the sims 4.

08-25-20_9-19-32 AM.pngThe boys bring home Antoinette Assaoui who is rather angry and poor Uni suffers her wrath.

Then it’s time for Lestat’s birthday. His final trait is Hot-Headed like his mom. His first two traits are Erratic and Perfectionist. He was abe to get Good Manners, Compassionate and Responsible traits. I believe thats 5 points for each positive trait so that gives me +15. Lestat also gets a job in the Conservation career.

08-25-20_9-55-58 AM.pngAnd then it’s Claudia’s turn to blow out the candles. Lestat somehow managed to get sick in between him blowing out the candles and Claudia blowing out hers.

08-25-20_10-26-41 AMClaudia is now a Recycle Disciple with the aspiration to be a Master Maker.
