Part Eight: Lifetime Wish - Achieved!
Finally, all the kids were off to school, and the house was relatively quiet. I had several hours to myself, and I was trying to decide what to do.

Jasper, meanwhile, had gone on a seed-hunting trip round town, to find "Special" seeds (whatever those were), as well as picking some wildflowers.

As it turned out, however, River was the only one not to go to school. (Because of the time when he aged up, he is technically a day younger than the girls, and when I clicked on the 'go to school' button it said School Not In Session. It's happened to me before. Also, I notice that their wings aren't showing in these screenshots, they were still just loading).

Although he didn't go to school, River still decided to do some educational activities, and went to play with the chess table in our study. His imaginary friend, who he calls Rosie, was with him, although of course I can't see her.

When she came home from school, Cassia had an opportunity from school to learn the charisma skill. So, she decided to do the modern teen thing and learnt it via a podcast.

Fleur, meanwhile, fancied making herself an after-school snack. (That's her IF, Anna).

I decided to sign the kids up for after-school classes. Fleur and Poppy wanted to do ballet, and Hazel and River wanted to do scouting.

"Hey, Melissa, I've got a new trait chip for you!"
"Oh, thank you! Which one is it?"
"Limitless Learning. You can learn new skills just like we Sims can!"
"That sounds great. Thank you very much!"
"No problem, Melissa. Maybe one day I'll be skilled enough to give you Sentience!" I said.
"That would be a dream come true!"

All the kids coming home from school! Well, the quads at least.

Hazel is an athletic kid, and even a full day at school clearly didn't dampen her enthusiasm for a kids' workout. Any form of exercise is a good idea, even if it's only indoors.

It turns out that River is a pretty helpful kid, as he voluntarily recycled all our old newspapers.

I was on our back deck, reading my bot building book. Finally, after a long time spent reading books and experimenting at the building pod, I finally mastered my third skill, and also achieved my Lifetime Wish. What an amazing feeling! I bought myself a Time Remote Control, and decided to switch the future so that it would be Utopian. I really wanted to see what it would be like. (I also gave her a collection helper, so she can find nanites in Oasis Landing free of charge instead of building them).
