***While waiting for 2019, I played about 4 sim days. I took some screenshots, I'm not sure how many I took so it may be a bit long.

Brittany just adores her baby daughter. I've got my age settings changed up a bit so by the time she was born, she had just one day left until aging up.

On Monday, she aged up to toddler. I only changed her hair for now, I'm not too worried about her toddler clothes but will start to pick out her clothes as a child.

Since she isn't old enough to eat cake, Lauren played in the front room while her parents and Dave Ramsey ate. Dave didn't have the decency to put on a shirt. Christopher took a couple days off to enjoy time with his daughter.

I learned that if Brittany has a successful protest about unskilled sims, everyone in the house benefits from the moodlet. As such, Lauren learned to potty and walk in just a few sim hours. I really enjoy these interactions Brittany unlocks. She already is getting pretty powerful.

Brittany was so busy working on supermaxing her alchemy that I decided to send Christopher to the library with Lauren. He read to her most of the toddler books to make sure she gets a very early start on her skills. I imagine she'll be more skilled than her mother as Brittany is still restricted in Sunset Valley.

Christopher's days off ended on Wednesday morning. Here is a picture of him in his police uniform.

Brittany is still off on maternity leave. She taught Lauren how to talk today so now she knows all the toddler skills except she still needs to max the xylophone. It's not a requirement to teach her anything but I'm going to do it since Brittany can't do much else yet.

I put in a few new lots in town when I started the game in the beginning. Today I sent the family to the park that comes with Generations. Lauren rode the spring riders while Christopher watched. I should have taken more of the family day but I forgot.
***That wasn't too bad, I only had 12 photos and these are the best of them. Lauren is two days away from aging to child.
Combining two again. This should get us into January's posts.
GOALS
1. Have Child, Teen, and Young Adult birthday's for Lauren.
2. Have Brittany finish the business career.
3. Start and finish the bookstore career.
4. Get Lauren a boyfriend, and marry her off.
5. Have Lauren and spouse have a child.
6. When these are accomplished, pack up necessary items and move to Riverview to start second season.
So this is kind of what you all can expect the next updates to be about. Current day is Week 5, Day 6 and maternity leave is over.

Lauren got her an imaginary friend doll that I named Troy. I have problems with names sometimes and that's the first male name that I thought of.

Both Steel's got promoted, Brittany to CEO and Christopher to Lieutentant. One more promotion for Christopher and he can join the secret agent branch.

Brittany worked on making a variety of elixirs to throw at Dave. She almost has that skill challenge finished.

Lauren had her birthday party. The game was acting up slightly and I couldn't get a good screenshot but luckily it straightened up for the next photo's.

I gave her a slight makeover as I peeked at her young adult looks and didn't like them. I changed the brow curve and fixed her mouth a bit which you'll see when she becomes a teenager. I didn't want to change her completely. Her traits were genius and easily impressed, and she just added cat person (randomized all her traits) to those two.

This was the first meal that all three got to sit at the table as Lauren was too young to join them.

Brittany wanted to spend time with Lauren but she knew that a successful protest would help Lauren learn skills much quicker. I love that Brittany 's moodlet extends to the whole family.

Lauren used the moodlet to max out the child cooking skill in a very short time. When Christopher dies, Lauren will take over his duties as Brittany's helper. Unfortunately, she'll be an only child in Sunset Valley, not sure about Riverview yet.

On Monday, Lauren joined scouts and also on Monday, Lauren finished scouts. I didn't know the moodlet had an effect on scouts but it did :D

Tuesday, these two were getting ready for work and school so I snapped a photo of them. Brittany leaves for work an hour before Christopher does.

Brittany reached the top of the business career today as well. I don't know what she wears yet as it is winter and I didn't think to get a photo of her in her outfit yet.
***That's it for this update. The next one will finish off Tuesday then will probably go from Wednesday to maybe Saturday. Brittany has Wednesday and Thursday (Snowflake Day) off so she'll have time to do some fun things hopefully. Friday is her last work day of the week then she has to work one more week before switching jobs.
