I have decided that I'd like to continue the family of Emily Jones back in Sunset Valley, where I was actually having the most fun with this save. That means that everything up to the end of page 3 and a bit on page 4 are canon in this story. However, where the family moves to Riverview will not be a part of this story. To start this story off, there will be three recap posts that I had posted on the What Happened in Your Sims 3 Game Today? thread, but without the spoilers. This way, everyone can get up to speed on where the save started, and where it is going. I'll post those in a bit, but hope you all enjoy this story.

Return of the Langerak Family, recaphttps://i.imgur.com/qzgcEbJ.jpgEmily Jones was a witch that I made just for fun over a year ago. I never had planned to share this save here, due to the fact I was having some financial issues at the time, which I won't go into except for the fact I gave up internet (and the forums) because of that. Also, my computer at the time was a laptop that was not really made to play games on. So I cut down on what EP's I would use, and created a save with Emily that would work well with it. Emily quickly became rich when an apple became a Tiberium gem. Soon after, she met and fell in love with Christopher Steel and they had a child named Eric. Sometime after Eric was older, they had another child they named Jessica.When Emily and Christopher were elders, Christopher decided to use some of the Lifetime Happiness points he received from accomplishing his Lifetime Wish to clone himself. Christian Jones was a child, due to the way cloning at the Science Lab works. By this time, Eric was married to Fawn Ursine, Jared and Claire's daughter. Eric and Fawn also had a daughter named Melanie by this time.https://i.imgur.com/Vo830AI.jpg?1Eric Jones (Witch), employed in the business career. Son of Emily and Christopher (Steel) Jones, husband to Fawn (Ursine-Frio) Jones, and father of Melanie Jones. Heir of the family fortune.https://i.imgur.com/4YZQ4lP.jpg?1Fawn Jones, employed in the music career on her way to becoming a famous composer. Daughter of Jared Frio and Claire Ursine, wife of Eric Jones, and mother to Melanie Jones.https://i.imgur.com/ZIRMj9l.jpg?1Melanie Jones (Werewolf), daughter of Eric and Fawn Jones, granddaughter of Christopher and Emily Jones.https://i.imgur.com/DOxVOvQ.jpg?1Christian Jones, boarding school resident, clone of Christopher Jones.Most of the family were at the pool one day, but Fawn wanted to cheat on Eric, so I had her flirt with her ex, Sam Sekemoto. Christian, a child at the time, drowned in the pool. This caused Fawn not to cheat anymore, and Christopher and Emily used their resources to resurrect him. Eventually, Melanie became a werewolf by choice, and when Christian became a teen, I sent him off to boarding school. However, I brought him back before he graduated. Jessica was moved out by now, and she already had married Tommy Bunch. They also had three beautiful daughters, but to see that, read the full story.https://imgur.com/zE5lAEb.jpgSince I chose Eric as the heir when Emily passed away, Melanie would be his heir apparent. She was attracted to a Sim named Garry Sekemoto, who was Zelda Mae and Leighton Sekemoto's child. However, young Garry was attracted to Carina Alvi, a granddaughter to Iqbal Alvi and the Bunch's. It wouldn't matter anyhow, Melanie scared the heck out of Garry when he witnessed her transform into her werewolf form on the full moon. With the wolf taking control, Melanie ran off into the wilderness. However, those instincts told her their was a stranger at her house, so she went to investigate. Lo and behold, it was a teenaged boy named Dwight Langerak, and their was some instant attraction.https://imgur.com/zE6gmtx.jpgDwight is VJ Alvi and Kaylynn Langerak's son, and a cousin to Carina Alvi. He was born a supernatural fan, so that was probably why he and Melanie got along so well. Melanie even kissed him in her werewolf form, and he liked it a lot, even though she was embarrassed when she went normal in the morning. However, Melanie already had a boyfriend named Hiram Bunch. She happened to catch him cheating on her with her aunt, Marisol Frio. She broke up with him, and then started to date Dwight. Soon, tragedy hit the family as Emily Jones passed away in the backyard. Christian soon became a young adult and he moved out of the family. He never did get married, he just woohooed the women, then went on to another one. https://i.imgur.com/L53knPR.jpgHe did become friends with Dwight Langerak, who became an young adult around the same time. Melanie soon followed, and she turned Dwight into a werewolf like her. I had just moved Dwight into the family prior to her birthday. https://i.imgur.com/WWIVL6w.jpgBoth Dwight and Melanie had a passion for martial arts, and they would often train together. They both got quite good at it, actually. Soon, Dwight and Melanie were married, with their family in attendance. This would lead to the events that caused me to change the save name from Jones to Langerak. Fawn aged up to elder the same night as her daughter's wedding. However, tragedy would strike again shortly before Melanie gave birth as Christopher followed his wife into the Netherworld. This was all about the time that I got a used gaming computer from my brother, and I didn't have to deal with lag anymore.https://i.imgur.com/gZ7jzRm.jpgEric found out that his parents had a bot building machine upstairs, so he began to learn to use it. He never thought it would end up leading to his visit to the future. He was able to build his first Plumbot, a female model named L4U-RN. She basically became a maid around the house. A man named Emit Relevart appeared out of a time portal shortly after. Emit knew that Eric was the inventor of the first Plumbot, so he wanted Eric to see how important his creation would become in the future. Upon his return to the past, Eric became the grandfather to triplets named Abigail, Ariana, and Evan Langerak.

https://i.imgur.com/61KXQEn.jpg?1Now that Evan and Abigail had both moved out, I was focusing on Dwight, Melanie, and Ariana, until Quinton moved in with them. Quinton got a bad boy makeover due to the traits he had, but he would prove to be a good father, and a good husband. However, a baby was coming soon, and it wasn't theirs. Dwight got Melanie pregnant again, and she had her fourth child, a son named Michael. https://i.imgur.com/EPoj6z1.jpgBeing the heir to a wealthy family meant that Ariana didn't have to follow the rules that society set, and she proposed to Quinton who said yes. Melanie had to tell Dwight that she was pregnant, and he was ecstatic. Then, @CravenLestat sent me a Sim he created named Cori Lucas. She was a very poor Sim in my game, so the Langerak's took her in. They paid for her to accomplish her dreams in University, along with Ariana and Quinton. Ariana and Cori quickly became the best of friends, even though Cori is the shy and quiet type. Cori was a very good scientist, she was able to create a Forbidden Fruit, and she gave it to the Langerak family as payment for sending her off to University. https://i.imgur.com/i2CjRnI.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/6kg0SGs.jpgQuinton loved playing music for all of them, and Ariana and Cori loved to dance to it. However, Cori and Quinton always had a hard time getting along, no matter how hard I tried. When everyone returned home, Melanie ended up giving birth to Michael Langerak. This meant she had 4 kids. Ariana, Cori, and Quinton all uploaded their resumes and all got their dream jobs. Melanie also became a grandparent to Abigail's daughter, Sheena Langerak. Michael soon aged up to toddler, and the Langeraks did the best they could to get him prepared for life. https://i.imgur.com/z7E0AqE.jpgAriana had planted the Forbidden Fruit that Cori gave her, and this seed birthed a girl named Daisy Langerak. Of course, this added PlantSim genetics to the save. Quinton and Ariana were not married at the time, and since his genetics weren't part of Daisy, he only became her step-father upon marriage. Around this time, Toaster and L4U-RN fell in love as they both had the trait chips to allow them to do so. Soon, Daisy became a cute little, green haired toddler that looked like Ariana. Then, L4U-RN proposed to Toaster and they soon got married. For some dumb reason, I ended up kicking them out of the household, but it is what it is. I didn't quite realize it, but Quinton is actually a cousin to Dwight, so Quinton married a relative in a sense. I try not to think of it though, the game doesn't recognize that. Soon after, it was time for Michael to age up to a child. https://i.imgur.com/9dSCSVd.jpgDaisy would soon follow and she aged up to a child as well. She was the only child of Ariana's at the time, so it was her destiny to be the heir. Daisy and Michael had a great uncle/niece relationship, similar to how Melanie and Christian got along so well. Quinton then had his birthday where he aged up to adulthood. It wasn't long after that when Michael aged up. Then, I ended up pausing the save file for a bit to share a few past updates of things I never posted on the main story thread I have. They aren't actually considered canon to the save, so I'm not recapping them here. Then, Dwight had his elder birthday shortly after I resumed in the present. Emily came back as a playable ghost to rid the family of their werewolf powers, something I wished I hadn't done but it was too late to change it. And not long after this, Daisy aged up into a teenager, and was very similar in looks to how she is now as an adult. Most of this happened earlier this year, around January. https://i.imgur.com/jI1ZFVx.jpgMichael fell in love with a pudding faced Sim named Irene. I ended up giving her a makeover because I felt she deserved it. She's actually prettier as an adult but not bad as a teenager. Abigail Langerak, Michael and Ariana's sister, gave birth to twins, which made the extended family even bigger. Soon after, the original triplets aged up to adults, and I invited the other two over so I could have the three of them share a birthday party.***This is all for now, will post more when I actually get into playing the save.

Langerak Family, Day 150This takes place on the 150th day of the save, it is also day 4 of week 22. This doesn't include trips to the future, university, or the travel destinations.https://i.imgur.com/FgeuyBm.jpgWhen Ariana woke up that morning, something seemed off to her. With Melanie being the current matriarch of the family, she decided to go to her with her dilemma. Ariana: Hey, Mom? Can we talk? I had a weird dream last night and I want your input.Melanie: Sure, you can talk to me about anything.Ariana: Okay, like I said, it was a weird dream. I dreamed that when we woke up today, we decided to move to Riverview for some reason. Michael and Irene got married there, you, Quinton, Dad and I all died, and Daisy married a cowardly cop named Hal something. Oh, and I had another child with Quinton.Melanie: Sounds like a dream I once had. I ended up marrying Quinton's father, Garry Sekemoto and had kids with him. You triplets and Michael were never born in it.Spoiler (Highlight to read) References to the fact that Melanie has basically lived three timelines, and Ariana lived two so far. Kind of what happens when I try to reboot, lol References to the fact that Melanie has basically lived three timelines, and Ariana lived two so far. Kind of what happens when I try to reboot, lolhttps://i.imgur.com/BdokzUA.jpgSince they are back in Sunset Valley, they still have their money tree garden. Ariana and future generations will add other plants to it, most likely Daisy will be the main caretaker soon though.https://i.imgur.com/CrQj5zj.jpgOne thing from Ariana's dream did come true, however this event would happen anyway. Irene had her birthday party during my session last night. https://i.imgur.com/uSmpcnd.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/oUYhwi6.jpgHowever, it soon became a nightmare when her birthday cake caught on fire. Luckily, Michael put it out in a hurry, but they had to throw away the cake and start over with a new one.https://i.imgur.com/rds46y5.jpgThis time, she did age up. Due to losing her homework with all the stuff I did, Irene was given the Good Sense of Humor trait in this version. She gained Natural Cook in the one where she aged up in Riverview.https://i.imgur.com/5mxkrLo.jpgI was lucky enough to get all 7 household members in the same picture. They all got a piece of the cake this time, so it worked out well for me.Irene just got the same makeover she had the last time.https://i.imgur.com/EHRDZZd.jpgSince Irene was now a young adult, she was able to let her boyfriend and Daisy off the hook for skipping school the other day. However, I had to use my Watcher powers to remove Irene's moodlet, it wouldn't go away and no Sim could let her off the hook.Irene: This is kind of awkward, but I'm letting you off the hook for skipping school. I won't be so lenient if you end up skipping our wedding in the near future though.https://i.imgur.com/pCHhk2Y.jpgQuinton found Eric Jones' old Spooky Day outfit and decided it'd be a good look for a rocker.Quinton: Dang, who knew ol' Eric had a wild side? This will knock the socks off my audience!Even the paparazzi were impressed, they tried to snap his picture as he ran out the door.https://i.imgur.com/ZQMEu5N.jpgIrene: And then he says, "That's my wife!". Melanie: (laughs) That's so funny, Irene! I have no idea where you get your jokes from.https://i.imgur.com/oSMUEN4.jpgI only got two CC hairs for male Sims right now, but I tried this one on Dwight. I never really paid attention, but he has a big nose. :lol: He got woken up by his pager on the 152nd day, telling him he needed to come into work. However, it wasn't too far away from his regular work schedule, so he would have had to been up soon anyway.https://i.imgur.com/V15AgCZ.jpgMichael and Daisy were up before the others were, so they finished their homework together. Hopefully, they can get their grades up so I can pick their traits.

Langerak Update, Francehttps://i.imgur.com/Y1aUkkV.jpgA scenery picture from France.https://i.imgur.com/6lSUgzR.jpgMelanie made breakfast for her family, and they got to chat with some tourists and fellow explorers. Of course, NPC explorers have never discovered anything, they are just dressed up like they are.https://i.imgur.com/2VC2lAE.jpgMelanie was off running around, so Ariana and Quinton visited the nectary to pick up nectar making equipment. Not sure when I'll use it yet, but I got it with plans to use it sometime.https://i.imgur.com/tUvoKRt.jpgQuinton harvested some of the nectary's grapes, while Ariana harvested the trees. This should get them started out with the skill soon.https://i.imgur.com/sjOQsJ4.jpgAfterwards, she went for a jog around France, mostly because she was asked to do so for an opportunity.https://i.imgur.com/5eUDR9H.jpgIt was back to the Chateau for Melanie, she had to disable a trap just to get into the place. It has been a bit since I last did this adventure, so I forgot some things.https://i.imgur.com/ycu10NI.jpgSince I had the ax, I decided to have Melanie break the rocks covering a stairway. It wasn't part of the adventure, but I wondered what was down there.https://i.imgur.com/LDn1pa2.jpgWhile she was busy, Ariana and Quinton woohooed in the shower.https://i.imgur.com/ItGSPXu.jpgBut then I decided I needed to make use of Ariana's werewolf hunting skill, so I had her do that some of the time.https://i.imgur.com/TXRSsMe.jpgMelanie finally completed the adventure, but then got shocked twice trying to enter another area.https://i.imgur.com/pOT3cV6.jpgBack at home, Quinton and Ariana shared a kiss in the rain. Quinton expressed his desire to have another child, so the couple headed to the bedroom to try for a baby. It took two tries, but Ariana is now officially pregnant. I changed my mind about the Carly and Robert plan, but will still hook up Cori's baby with Ariana's baby.

Langerak Family Update, Day 159https://i.imgur.com/ZbXNLxn.jpgDwight, Quinton, and Ariana ate some of the Key Lime Pie Dwight had won in the pie eating contest for breakfast. I didn't even pay attention to their favorites, but this is Dwight's favorite food.https://i.imgur.com/aLkE4rj.jpgI am not sure who last made food, but they left the kitchen a mess. Quinton cleaned the counter where the blender is because apparently somebody didn't put the lid on when blending food.https://i.imgur.com/kyQsC7M.jpgMelanie played guitar after she ate her breakfast. She maxed out the skill shortly before or after the picture was taken.https://i.imgur.com/u5nOTs0.jpgDaisy was the one who had the only MultiTab at the moment. It was one of the adult's but I let her borrow it for homework. Really, the family can afford one for everyone, so I think when I jump in game, I'll be sure to give them one.https://i.imgur.com/2mEZlxF.jpgDwight and Quinton had a very nice chat with each other while watching TV. These two have a great father-in-law/son-in-law relationship, even though Dwight is at peak physical condition, and Quinton hates exercise.https://i.imgur.com/hATg2d9.jpgHowever, when someone offers him money and celebrity points, he was more than willing to make the sacrifice. He never will be as buff as Dwight, but the exercise won't hurt him any.https://i.imgur.com/7CZ8bIT.jpgI kept hearing a singer performing, but couldn't figure out where. Turns out it was Jabari Burrows in the Langerak Family Cemetery next door.https://i.imgur.com/F5BiP3o.jpgMelanie heard it too, but she continued with her gardening. The money trees only needed weeding, and with fall coming around, they would be hibernating soon enough.https://i.imgur.com/yHcgeol.jpgHowever, she got a little upset when she saw Jabari in the family cemetery. Melanie: Hey, this is a cemetery! Go sing your songs somewhere else, Jabari!But Jabari didn't hear her, so she began to heckle him.https://i.imgur.com/MbGSIPk.jpgSince he wouldn't stop, she zapped him with the Moodlet Manager, but that didn't stop him either.https://i.imgur.com/fgGVbat.jpgCorinne Bunch came to the cemetery to visit some of the graves. I do not recall how she is related, or if she is to the Langerak's, but she is related to the Bunches. Melanie didn't care that she was there, she just thought Jabari needed to leave.https://i.imgur.com/RTWtk65.jpgI figured out the best way to get Jabari to stop was to pull a @Nikkei_Simmer and zap him with lightning. That stopped him from singing in a hurry. :naughty: Rest of update in spoilers to finish out the day.Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/AotrLXq.jpgSomething is wrong here, Ariana is the one who needs the massage, not Quinton. Maybe he is stressed out about having another child at his age. He is getting close to an elder, but aging is off right now so he's not going to be one for a bit still.https://i.imgur.com/BAtUazr.jpgMelanie went back to the alchemy store, looking for a young again elixir or anything else useful. I was looking for one particular elixir but I can't ever get it. I've got a plan that may not happen if I don't find it.https://i.imgur.com/p1Pt9jd.jpgFor supper, the family decided to eat one of the Flame Fruit cakes.https://i.imgur.com/1Wbdgqx.jpgDaisy asked her mother if she could feel the baby in her stomach. Poor Daisy will never get to experience pregnancy since she is a PlantSim.https://i.imgur.com/sxUGpGZ.jpgAnd lastly for the night, Melanie watched some television while Quinton read a good book.https://i.imgur.com/AotrLXq.jpgSomething is wrong here, Ariana is the one who needs the massage, not Quinton.

Langerak Family, Day 181

https://i.imgur.com/nLBviB7.jpg
Funny enough, the two instigators of the drama ended up eating breakfast together.

https://i.imgur.com/T3zdrEU.jpg
Melanie soon went to Dwight to apologize for her actions. Dwight told her he forgave her, yet he still has a 5 day betrayed moodlet. I decided to let autonomy influence their next actions...

https://i.imgur.com/aaNDoTP.jpg
Autonomy immediately made Dwight insult Melanie, so their relationship started to drop a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/W0UPMbn.jpg
Then Melanie had the nerve to try and get romantic with Dwight, but he rejected her, at least at first.

https://i.imgur.com/doysNfN.jpg
However, they soon made up as Melanie pulled him in for a kiss. He didn't resist this time.

https://i.imgur.com/kR8XRZD.jpg
Dwight did not forgive Quinton though, and he ended up insulting him next.

https://i.imgur.com/c8c7jAg.jpg
He ended up crying in front of Daisy, once Quinton ran off.

https://i.imgur.com/4XTiXey.jpg
I guess Quinton was mad that Melanie tried to fix her relationship, because he then started cussing Melanie out.

https://i.imgur.com/ZMboXJs.jpg
To get some of his frustration out, Daisy decided to spar with him. He made a few mistakes, and Daisy ended up beating him. By this point, Dwight and Melanie are barely acquaintances but I'm letting autonomy decide how everybody reacts to each other at the moment.

https://i.imgur.com/3SbeLsd.jpg
After getting off work, I let Ariana go to the Bistro for supper.

https://i.imgur.com/hbsdeQw.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/CCdBQkR.jpg
Dwight was still pretty mad at Quinton, so he took a Flask of Bee's and threw it at his feet. You can see the look of pain on Quinton's face as he is stung multiple times.

https://i.imgur.com/nEtxyG6.jpg
John decided to invite Carly Lucas over for a visit. Carly only talked to him a minute, then said she needed to leave. :disappointed:

https://i.imgur.com/eq7NO2r.jpg
However, when Ariana came home from supper, Carly decided she could stay after all and promptly asked for her autograph. Ariana obliged, then quickly befriended Carly.

https://i.imgur.com/bCQA3uK.jpg
Ariana knew how much John talked out Carly, so she decided to do her part and ask Carly to stay the night. Carly said yes, so I gave her a quick makeover to get her more in line with her young adult looks.

Langerak Family, Day 182

***Note: These next few posts are from my last play session, which was around Christmas 2021. There should be at least a couple of them.

https://i.imgur.com/jU1AlCT.jpg
Today was Dwight's turn to make breakfast. I really wish they had more breakfast foods that Sims can make.

https://i.imgur.com/LV84kWB.jpg
Being the chef this morning, Dwight was the first one to finish his food. Quinton got his about the same time that John's guest, Carly Lucas, got hers. And don't forget about Harlan, who is starting to become one of my favorite male Sims.

https://i.imgur.com/x4v0cGk.jpg
Harlan talked with someone on the phone shortly after, and I believe it was to throw a wedding party.

https://i.imgur.com/N8M7zNZ.jpg
Melanie has been trying to patch things up with Dwight, but it seems no matter what she says, he gets mad at her.

https://i.imgur.com/6NkjIYV.jpg
John had a little bit of a chat with Carly, who is also his love interest.

https://i.imgur.com/kOXio5w.jpg
Of course, Dwight then had to blow up at his wife, while his grandson was getting flirty with Carly.

https://i.imgur.com/paJ56z6.jpg
At the exact moment that John kissed Carly, Quinton happened to come near them and he watched the whole thing. :lol:

https://i.imgur.com/vsnxva5.jpg
Then for some reason, Quinton started yelling at Daisy. Daisy was clearly offended by her fathers behavior, she didn't even do anything wrong. Ariana can't figure out what happened to the man she loved.

https://i.imgur.com/nRySabK.jpg
Ariana: Don't yell at your daughter on her wedding day, you je'rk! What is wrong with you?
Quinton: I don't know, okay? I'm just not happy with my life right now.
Daisy: (thinking) Dang, Mom's really tearing into Dad! I gotta record this!

https://i.imgur.com/TWzp6yo.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/L9xv1Nq.jpg
Things calmed down after this, and Harlan and Daisy were able to tie the knot with no issues. Daisy decided to take the Goth last name, but the story will still be called The Langerak Family because Dwight will become immortal and live with his future descendants.

https://i.imgur.com/ADfNrzW.jpg
Several of the family members for the Goth's and the Langerak's showed up. One family member chose to have her baby during the cake cutting ceremony. I can't remember how she's related, but it's on the Langerak side I believe.

https://i.imgur.com/NbGLFzZ.jpg
I forget what was going on here, but I'm almost certain that Dwight is upset about Melanie and Quinton's infidelity.

https://i.imgur.com/8xlNEIU.jpg
When she tried to talk to him, Dwight ignored Melanie. They don't have much time left together, but I think their relationship is through.

Day 182, continued

https://i.imgur.com/nsUCMYp.jpg
Melanie tried to use the moodlet manager on Dwight to make him happier. It got rid of his bad moodlets, at least for a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/ynNLuUC.jpg
Dwight: What is the point in trying to patch up our relationship? It's clear that you aren't happy in our marriage.
Melanie: That's not it, I love you! I don't know why I flirted with Quinton. Can't you forgive me?
Dwight: I'm sorry, but I don't think I can...

https://i.imgur.com/qFGTbgu.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/jAzprRD.jpg
Later that night, Melanie Langerak met the Grim Reaper and headed for the Netherworld. She and Dwight never got to reconcile.

https://i.imgur.com/PXdsr1r.jpg
Dwight wasn't quite ready to let her go, despite the issues they had before she died so he decided to use this to bring her back.

https://i.imgur.com/jCCI9GE.jpg
Melanie: Why did you bring me back? I was finally at peace in the Netherworld, then you drug me back here! If you didn't want to reconcile before I died, then I figure my death means we are done.
Dwight: Fine, if that's the way you want it, I'm not going to try and resurrect you ever again. As far as I'm concerned, I'm free to get into a new relationship if I want to.
Melanie: Do whatever you want, I don't care anymore.

Day 183

https://i.imgur.com/ypcth8E.jpg
That morning, Dwight complained to Ariana about how Melanie acted. Ariana wasn't too keen on talking about it, she just kind of wanted to ignore the issue. She was mad at Quinton, as well as Melanie, but she wanted to work things out with her husband.

https://i.imgur.com/mAHN4Sk.jpg
After eating breakfast at the diner, Harlan got to know his mother-in-law a bit better and they did their workouts together.

https://i.imgur.com/oQN4b5w.jpg
Even though the plants were a bit frosty, Daisy needed to take care of them. Is it bad that I can't remember what season they are in at this moment? Guess that's what happens when I don't play for a while.

https://i.imgur.com/3sxrGLX.jpg
For some reason, I bought one of the voodoo dolls for Daisy. She only used it in a beneficial way for her husband, but she might use the negative ones on other people.

https://i.imgur.com/7EoPMcZ.jpg
I sent her upstairs a bit later on so that she could continue to learn alchemy. I'm going to need some Young Again elixirs to keep her young for a while, as I'm wanting to clear out some members first. Those members that are going to leave will be Quinton and Ariana (through death, so that will be whenever they get old enough), and John when he gets married to Carly.

https://i.imgur.com/BpQXB7G.jpg
Harlan and Daisy sharing a kiss.

https://i.imgur.com/nkJLe83.jpg
Dwight had an idea that may help Daisy out. He decided to resurrect one person who had more experience than any of them.

https://i.imgur.com/kJmxp0H.jpg
For the first time in a long time, I got to play with the founder of this family, Emily Jones. Emily is an experienced witch and her expertise will come in handy for some elixirs. She is only back for a limited time, and will go back to the Netherworld again.

Langerak Family, Day 184

https://i.imgur.com/MNve2mx.jpg
I ended up changing my mind about keeping Emily around, except to make Young Again elixirs. She made three of them, and I'll just use mods to clone them whenever I need one.

https://i.imgur.com/vAnQj0N.jpg
I'm not really sure why, but I saw that Quinton had the option to apologize to John, so I made him do so.

https://i.imgur.com/7l2jr1Z.jpg
Dwight's logic skill is at the very minimum for where it should be for his job. I made him stay outside playing chess until the rain came and forced him back inside.

https://i.imgur.com/WxXpSVc.jpg\
Quinton decided it was time for his son to learn to drive, so he took John around town until he completed.

https://i.imgur.com/JYD4jz7.jpg
Dwight decided to get to know Harlan a bit better, but they are already best friends.

https://i.imgur.com/lhvInF8.jpg
Harlan got invited to a party, so he took Daisy with him. I like her mermaid costume she picked out.

https://i.imgur.com/8VHpj97.jpg
She went around meeting the guests, some she knew but others she didn't. She had to introduce herself to Toaster.

https://i.imgur.com/qvB8SUu.jpg
In the meantime, Harlan was using it as an opportunity to gain campaign money. He is Mayor of Sunset Valley currently, but he wants to succeed Ariana as Leader of the Free World when she retires. Here, he is asking Abigail Langerak for donations, which she gave.

https://i.imgur.com/fXYjqu0.jpg
Daisy started dancing to the music, so I had her call all the guests to come dance as well. They seemed to be having a good time.

https://i.imgur.com/yNHPa0e.jpg
And lastly, the family ate a late supper together before heading to bed.

Langerak Family, Day 185

https://i.imgur.com/YQwBRSo.jpg
I opened the game the other day looking for the woodfire oven. However, I could not find it. Turns out that when I bought Monte Vista, I had forgot to download and install it into my game. Ariana was the first Sim to try it out, but she burnt the food and threw it away.

https://i.imgur.com/3LwlgJC.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/sIwC3Pf.jpg
Daisy and John had a little bit of a chat before he had to go to school. However, when she went to wash her hands, Daisy was sprayed by the sink. She had no proof that it was John, so there was nothing she could do. It could have even been Carly, as she visited a few days back and no one usually washes their hands in that sink.

https://i.imgur.com/M9ytYy6.jpg
When Ariana finally got something made for breakfast, the family sat down to eat together.

https://i.imgur.com/FypeRKe.jpg
After eating, Quinton decided to exercise some. He's retired now, so he doesn't have to worry about work anymore.

https://i.imgur.com/V7yb7t9.jpg
Ariana and Quinton are still really close, even though he flirted with her mother. It's only Dwight that seems to harbor anger at Quinton now.

https://i.imgur.com/TIEjJij.jpg
Dwight went to the park to look for a new romantic interest. Unfortunately, there weren't any good female Sims around. He did have chemistry with Malika Andrews, but she is an old woman and Dwight is an old young man. I did look at her as a young adult in CAS, and she wouldn't be too bad but I'm not doing it.

https://i.imgur.com/63UmFGB.jpg
It's a good thing I decided against it because Malika started arguing with him shortly after.

https://i.imgur.com/r2rI9xK.jpg
Harlan watched some TV since he didn't have work. His superior, Ariana, stood nearby in her nightgown.

https://i.imgur.com/XqOWEgl.jpg
Leaving Malika, Dwight went to talk with his daughter, Abigail Langerak. Abigail had been inside the haunted house, becoming a temporary ghost. Dwight complained about Malika to her.

https://i.imgur.com/ohUzlRU.jpg
Even though it is late fall, I realized that Daisy needed to take care of the garden. She got a lot of harvest, including 15 bags of money that equaled to like $5000, getting her closer to her next promotion.

https://i.imgur.com/30hTZ7V.jpg
Ariana must have caught wind of something that John did because she scolded him for his actions.

https://i.imgur.com/hy4k9Ez.jpg
Dwight got a phone call later that night from Cori Lucas. Cori wanted to know if Dwight wanted to go on a date, and he said yes. I let their conversation mostly be autonomous, and they ended up wanting to hold hands!

https://i.imgur.com/LF5roU4.jpg
She also initiated an autonomous "Look At The Stars".

https://i.imgur.com/Sxvjw73.jpg
For some reason, Quinton started arguing with his daughter again. The other Quinton, the one who moved to Riverview on day 150, was definitely a different person than this partial reboot version.

Langerak Family, Day 186

https://i.imgur.com/CMnUEGX.jpg
For breakfast, Quinton ended up making a breakfast calzone for everyone in the family.

https://i.imgur.com/Ouo3dlP.jpg
However, he was soon up to his old tricks, insulting John for being "good". John wasn't happy about it.

https://i.imgur.com/XuqgjX1.jpg
Then, John apologized to Quinton for whatever Ariana had scolded him for and Quinton let him off the hook.

https://i.imgur.com/uhufH3t.jpg
Quinton decided he wanted to go upstairs to paint a picture, which I let him do. I figured he'd stay out of trouble this way. :lol:

https://i.imgur.com/GarnNNW.jpg
Daisy went to the alchemy store, just to see what was up for sale. She got a few elixirs, and she had a plan who to give one of them to.

https://i.imgur.com/YBTNM3u.jpg
Daisy: Here, Grandpa, I got you a gift!
Dwight: For me? You didn't have to buy me anything.
Daisy: I know, but I wanted to.

https://i.imgur.com/Hbcvv8f.jpg
After that, Daisy asked if they could spar together, as she felt she was ready to progress. She did alright, but Dwight easily beat her, and she didn't win even one round.

https://i.imgur.com/Z5pixiP.jpg
Someone, probably John, put a whoopie cushion in the chair. It just so happened to be where Harlan wanted to sit.

https://i.imgur.com/5svlZa8.jpg
Dwight decided now was a good time to drink his elixir Daisy gave him. The Potent Skill Booster completely maxed out Dwight's cooking skill, making him a master chef. He's going to start learning every recipe so that the family can have whatever food they want.

https://i.imgur.com/GtwzexM.jpg
One of the first recipe books he read was for Chili Con Carne.

https://i.imgur.com/1SCTVff.jpg
Harlan and Daisy spent a little romantic time together near the stairs leading up to the bedrooms.

https://i.imgur.com/NOOObsv.jpg
Even though Dwight is now a master in cooking, he burnt his first attempt in the woodfire oven.

https://i.imgur.com/Q5wsNf2.jpg
Dwight invited Evan and his family to come visit. However, the only person to show up was Rain. Dwight talked with her, and I made sure to watch them closely because I don't want anymore flirting with other peoples spouses... at least for the ones related to the family. If there was a lady that was married, and Dwight liked her, I'd let him get her. I just don't want like Quinton flirting with Melanie, or Harlan flirting with Ariana, for examples.

https://i.imgur.com/eFm0fYk.jpg
Before bed, Harlan and Daisy woohooed.

https://i.imgur.com/BhPdjAt.jpg
Lastly, Ariana talked a bit with her sister-in-law, until everyone needed to go to bed for the next day.

Langerak Family, Day 187

https://i.imgur.com/qwKiO64.jpg
For breakfast, the family ate some pancakes.

https://i.imgur.com/rshTbR9.jpg
The dishwasher broke, so Quinton was the best option to fix it. It didn't take him long at all, but he wanted to make it unbreakable now.

https://i.imgur.com/bafi92V.jpg
Some woman kept harassing the family, so Daisy thought she'd use the voodoo doll on her. However, every interaction she tried to do would cancel out. I ended up using Total Annihilation to get rid of the lady.

https://i.imgur.com/UFYMk8M.jpg
Dwight had questioned Rain Langerak the day prior, just so he could get a report in.

https://i.imgur.com/lvHg82a.jpg
Quinton is trying to make amends for what he did, and Ariana has been happy to oblige.

https://i.imgur.com/QE1TFUh.jpg
For either lunch or supper, Dwight grabbed his food but then just stood in the kitchen to eat.

https://i.imgur.com/08xENkd.jpg
I ended up letting Quinton's hair go white, I added the wrinkles, and gave him a beard. Not sure I like it, but I'm sticking with it.

Langerak Family Descendants

Here are a few pictures of some of Dwight and Melanie's other grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These are not all of them, so I'll do another one with the other few sometime during my days off.

https://i.imgur.com/CaG4wul.jpg
Jenna Langerak is the eldest daughter of Sheena Langerak and Ivan Keaton. Dwight is her great-grandpa as he is Sheena's grandpa, and Abigail's dad.

https://i.imgur.com/Yg7Zc8N.jpg
Tiana is the younger daughter of Sheena and Ivan. I believe the two of them took Sheena's last name since Sheena hasn't gotten married to Ivan yet. For some reason, it is saying that his mother is named Anne Keaton, yet Anne is listed on my Family Echo tree as being Malcolm Landgraab and Bella Bachelor's daughter. If this is the case, then Ivan should be Ivan Landgraab. I'm going to do some investigating to check on some of these family connections.

https://i.imgur.com/WRkZk5B.jpg
Mason Langerak is the brother to Sheena and is Jenna and Tiana's uncle. He is currently dating Trish Sekemoto, who is descended from the Sekemoto's and Bunch's. This means that technically, Mason and Trish are distant relatives, but far enough that there isn't too much of an issue.

https://i.imgur.com/bde9BTJ.jpg
The last of Abigail Langerak's children is Chiquita Langerak. She is currently married to Richie Goth, who just so happens to be the son of Harlan Goth. Of course, Harlan got de-aged, and is now married to my Sim heir, Daisy Langerak. This kind of will tie the Goth's and Langerak's back together besides just Harlan and Daisy.

Langerak Family Update, Day 188

https://i.imgur.com/NTizJhX.jpg
Dwight got to eat breakfast with his daughter, Ariana. They seem to be the first to wake up in the morning here recently.

https://i.imgur.com/wDilkLv.jpg
Quinton wants to max out the handiness skill, but he's a bit off from hitting it. I'm going to try and have him accomplish this before he dies.

https://i.imgur.com/bEOEPsY.jpg
Dwight decided to use his holo-computer to play some chess since it was cold outside. This is before I decided to move the chess table indoors, something I should have done a while ago.

https://i.imgur.com/0AMCQOZ.jpg
Quinton went somewhere were he met with Brianna Alvi/Arellano/not sure what her current last name is...

https://i.imgur.com/zuAiuFK.jpg
Now I did have the chess table indoors, so I tried to have Daisy call the first contestant towards anyone reaching the top of the chess tournament. Since they said no, Daisy decided to challenge Dwight. Before long, Dwight will be as intelligent as he is athletic.

https://i.imgur.com/OmMM6rZ.jpg
Ariana used the family's dinner night to try to gain donations to stay as Leader of The Free World. She also had an opportunity where she was supposed to get $10,000.

https://i.imgur.com/nDiJF7L.jpg
Ariana got invited to a party where her sister, Abigail, just so happened to be. Abigail has been very emotional as she recently lost her husband, Andrea Langerak. Andrea was a good husband and father, and was originally a pudding faced Sim I made over a bit. Ariana comforted her only sister.

Day 189

https://i.imgur.com/lSKzruz.jpg
There were some leftovers that needed eaten, so I had the family pull some of them out for breakfast. However, one dish went bad and some Sims had to eat quick meals.

https://i.imgur.com/X8hoprS.jpg
Harlan decided to try his hand at Mixology. He didn't do very well, though.

https://i.imgur.com/2LHzuYo.jpg
Since Quinton wanted to learn handiness to the max, I bought the last book for him.

https://i.imgur.com/JmOg39A.jpg
Harlan decided to throw a campaign fundraiser on his way to succeeding Ariana soon. Here, he is trying to get some money out of his brother-in-law, Michael Langerak.

https://i.imgur.com/aE7Hzbg.jpg
Harlan got a call that Lydia Wolff had voted against him in the recent election, and he was to cut all ties with her. Needless to say, he accomplished this one very quickly. It made me remember when a while back, Ariana had to cut ties with L4U-RN for the political career, although that may have been in the version of this save where the family moved to Riverview after 150 days.

***Day 189 is a bit longer, and since I didn't take as many pictures for day 188, I decided to add the first few to 188. I will post the rest of the day coming up next.

Langerak Family Update, Day 189 continued

https://i.imgur.com/960haEU.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kBoFmZ6.jpg
Since the other two thirds of the triplets came to Harlan's fundraiser, he used it to throw birthday parties for his wife's aunt, uncle, and mother. First up, Abigail aged to elder. I gave her a bit of a makeover, just to fix her up a bit. However, I realized I didn't put her normal hairstyle on her, I'm changing that when I open the game in a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/zPzPAeV.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/skRTydx.jpg
Evan was next, and he didn't change too much, except for gray in his hair and few wrinkles.

https://i.imgur.com/COc0P9J.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/HG4GXZb.jpg
Lastly, Ariana had her age up. She is most likely going to stay as Leader of the Free World until Harlan gets promoted to that level. He should be serving as her VP soon as he is already governor of whatever state they are supposed to live in.

https://i.imgur.com/uUkKTfr.jpg
The family was stopped from eating any cake until Ariana had aged up, but the guests grabbed cake from Abigail and Evan's before Ariana even had her age up. However, by the time she did, it was only the main household that were eating off Ariana's cake.

https://i.imgur.com/EVF8zIZ.jpg
Dwight decided it was a good time to help his grandson learn to play chess. John at least got the basics down, which is amazing compared to my knowledge. I stink at chess so I don't even try.

https://i.imgur.com/vok48mL.jpg
Ariana and Quinton shared some romantic time together. They should be very similar in age, but since Ariana is a werewolf, she has a longer lifespan than normal Sims. Of course, fairies live even longer, so her sister-in-law, Rain Langerak, will live past her, and maybe even Daisy.

https://i.imgur.com/RTx8ME6.jpg
When Quinton went to woohoo with Ariana, he got pranked by John. He went ahead with the activities, then jumped in the shower to rinse his hair out.

************************************************************************

Day 190

https://i.imgur.com/B5mbQzA.jpg
Dwight had to let John off for another act of teenage pranks.

https://i.imgur.com/1GECgvN.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/so4MxK1.jpg
Dwight went to visit some of his descendants, this is his granddaughter, Sheena Langerak.

https://i.imgur.com/3gr9AYX.jpg
He also got to know Jenna, pictured here, and her sister, Tiana.

https://i.imgur.com/QvvM3Jq.jpg
And since I was so busy with Dwight meeting relatives, I only got this picture of Quinton and John exercising. This closes out my posts for tonight.
