Part two of the update

Brittany took Ramon's grave to the Pleasant Rest Cemetery. She mourned the loss of the families dear friend. Ramon had moved in when Ian Bowler had moved out since Brittany needs two roommates. He was already an elder but since Lauren didn't have a grandfather, he was like one to her. (Not really, I just made that up. They never really talked to each other.)

A little bit of a weird angle, but anyways this is Oscar Suarez, the families new roommate. Little does he know he only has a few weeks and he'll be leaving due to the Steel's moving to Riverview.

Right now, the family can't go anywhere without breaking down over Ramon's death. But with what happens next, they should be happy they are still alive.

Uh oh, the sky went dark all of a sudden! What's going on? A meteor strike happened while the family was at the park. A fire started in the Steel's driveway!

Christopher was first on scene and he immediately went to extinguish the blaze. Shortly after, Brittany rushed in to help and between them, nobody died and only one sim was singed.

Everybody gathered around in the driveway, looking at the mess. I blame Dave getting abducted twice for the meteor strike. Maybe I should kick him out?

Everyone was hungry, so Brittany took the family to the Bistro. Everyone who was there at the fire came, but they paid themselves. As you can see, they are still thinking of Ramon.

After sending the others home, Brittany threw another protest to help the family out with skilling.
***Okay, maybe it wasn't quite as crazy as I suggested but it was all overwhelming. An age up, a death, and a meteor strike all in one play session? Never thought that would happen.
Ultimate Sim Update

Due to the skill boosting moodlet from Brittany's protest, Lauren learned to drive a little quicker than her peers, although she is a genius as well. I forgot to mention her new trait after she aged to teen. She now has genius, easily impressed, cat person, and the new one was frugal.

Christopher had been doing an early morning workout when I got the notification that it is his birthday. I put a table up in the living room so there was plenty of room to get around the cake. Dave must have gotten out of bed as he forgot to put on pants.

Well, Christopher didn't age up too bad, he just needs a new wardrobe and some hair dye. I'm getting the impression that Brittany is afraid he'll die soon, or maybe it's about Ramon's recent death.

I just noticed the cabinets cut off a bit of the picture but Christopher retired from the police department. He makes $180 a day now but with his free time he writes books. I just use movie titles as book names or make up titles. He is currently writing the Star Wars movies since there isn't anything like it in the Sims world. (Unless it's in Sims 4, does anyone use the Star Wars items? I never do.)

Lauren didn't have a date for the prom so she went solo. She got into a fight with someone but still won prom queen!

Brittany had another opportunity to promote the Bistro so she took care of that. It is late spring but the snow was from summoning the Weather Stone. Looks like Brittany has a young fan. He must have heard about her attempt at becoming the Ultimate Sim. (At least in this save.)

Brittany said goodbye to the business career to work at the bookstore. The pay decreased a lot but with $615,000 in the bank, they won't be hurting any. The rules say to stay for 2 weeks but I'm thinking about just reaching the top then finish that week. I'm ready to move on to Riverview to start Season Two. It depends on one thing if I stay 2 weeks or not.

Back at the house, Lauren flirted with her friend Mack Keaton. He is her closest friend so I've decided he'll be her husband.

First kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend. They've got to finish school before I move the family, not a rule in the challenge but I want Mack to move in.
***Third update of the day should be posted shortly after this one. Afterwards, I'll have a quick note on where the updates stand as of now.
