Oops, completely forgot about updating this... it's been a while since I played this family, so I'm hazy on some of the details.
Part Five: Parenthood
People often like to discuss what they'd do with a lottery win, but when it actually happens, you can end up with a surprising lack of ideas. One thing that I wouldn't need to spend money on would be a repairman, since I was skilled enough myself. Of course, I knew that having a child would cost a lot, but surely 1 million Simoleons would be (much) more than enough...

All too soon, I went into labour. And man oh man, it was just as painful as people said.
"OH MY PLUMBOB GET THIS CHILD OUT OF ME," I yelled. "I'M IN SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW!"

Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long. With Jasper watching on, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. We decided to name her Cassia.

One of the other trait chips I'd given Melissa was the RoboNanny chip, which would make my life easier. Naturally I'd be taking care of my own child whenever possible, but Melissa would be able to take over when I needed a rest. I knew lots of families who had nannies and au-pairs for their children.

Aside from an extensive range of edible plants, Jasper also grew Crystal Flowers, which could be charged with various emotions and used to create advanced trait chips. I really wanted to be able to craft either the Simulated Emotions chip or the Sentience one, both of which needed a large number of crystals.

I was now so advanced at martial arts that not only was I able to meditate, I was also able to levitate...

... and teleport. Which is pretty dang handy if you ask me!
