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, Days 216 and 217

https://i.imgur.com/PgFKKOO.jpg
Ariana is 99-100 days old for this two day update. Only she and Harlan are the ones who must eat breakfast as the other three household members are PlantSims.

https://i.imgur.com/F4AfQPA.jpg
Lily had a wish to make a snow angel, so I sent her to the backyard to make one.

https://i.imgur.com/pC84w1a.jpg
Lily finally learned a second potion at the chemistry table. Neither one is a beneficial one.

https://i.imgur.com/MfYS9YK.jpg
Ariana and Harlan took turns teaching Rose how to potty, even though she doesn't need it.

https://i.imgur.com/LR54QAJ.jpg
Lily then got herself another wish, this time to use the telescope. I let her continue using it until she found an orange star. I drew a blank for the name so I just named it Orange Flower.

https://i.imgur.com/pWEyIgu.jpg
Harlan kept wanting to use the bicycle he got last Christmas for his vehicle, so I bought him a 2015 Chevy Silverado to drive. The family also has a recent model Corvette and Camaro.

https://i.imgur.com/qZLL69o.jpg
I just happened to look over at the family cemetery when I saw that there were two snowmen that were left unfinished by ghosts. Daisy went to finish one while Lily finished the other one.

https://i.imgur.com/xxXyNBG.jpg
Daisy got invited to a party so she went to it. She chatted with Jenna, Leo, and played with two of her toddler relatives.

https://i.imgur.com/anSb9kB.jpg
Harlan decided to exercise in the kitchen.

https://i.imgur.com/MLEJyia.jpg
Ghosts still travel over to the main household. This time, Ariana chatted with her great aunt, Jessica Bunch. They dislike each other for some reason, but I had them chat long enough to make them have a neutral relationship.

https://i.imgur.com/xKRxg6e.jpg
Pretty much the whole family wanted another gift-giving party so I decided to have Ariana throw one. I only invited Langerak family members, and Harlan's two previous children from before he got with Daisy and before the Young Again potion.

https://i.imgur.com/xuzVWCn.jpg
After getting gifts, Harlan tried to ask as many people as possible for campaign donations. He got somewhere around $30,000 but he still needs more to make it better so he'll probably throw a campaign party tonight when I play.

https://i.imgur.com/vvMbS5M.jpg
Lastly, Harlan and Daisy woohooed in the shower as they both needed showers and they only have three. You can tell that Harlan had a good time.

Langerak Family Days 218-221

Note: For these updates, I turned all my graphics settings to the highest they go. The game still runs fairly decent and everything looks a little better so as long as I have no issues, I'll continue to play this way.

https://i.imgur.com/Mk9jmBX.jpg
Daisy went to let Rose out of her crib when Harlan decided he wanted to get romantic.

https://i.imgur.com/heEadnO.jpg
Then it was time for the campaign party where Harlan got $50,000. I had fixed outfits but my game crashed so I left them as is when I rebooted.

https://i.imgur.com/YK5WGg7.jpg
The older family members went around and chatted with the guests, and Harlan danced with Carrie Langerak. I expect she'll be around a while since her mother was a fairy.

https://i.imgur.com/OAhXRfT.jpg
Lily had an opportunity to collect certain bugs around town. She started on it, but didn't finish it that day.

https://i.imgur.com/7xwbFef.jpg
Ariana had only a tiny bit of the painting skill that she had gained back when she and her siblings were competing against one another to be heir. However, I decided it'd be a nice little pass time for her since she is retired.

https://i.imgur.com/GKvtKkW.jpg
Daisy worked in the garden in an attempt to prepare the garden for the new produce.

https://i.imgur.com/POkhXJF.jpg
Lily went after another one of the bugs she needed. I feel like this is the one she needed to complete it, but I forgot.

https://i.imgur.com/6zvx0cg.jpg
Ariana went out to get the mail and pay the bills.

https://i.imgur.com/j4gWHmC.jpg
Daisy is a few skill points short of completing her lifetime wish which is to max both athletics and logic.

https://i.imgur.com/YYzjO4h.jpg
Harlan and Ariana spent some time honing their chess skills.

https://i.imgur.com/EuEyp4R.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/UCw9vOU.jpg
Then it was time for Rose's age up party. She looks exactly like Daisy did at that age.

https://i.imgur.com/tIq5D9x.jpg
Then the family ate cake together. I've got a bit better picture of Rose though.

https://i.imgur.com/mOvZX8F.jpg
Here she is playing video games while Daisy watches.

Langerak Family Days 218-221 (Part 2)

https://i.imgur.com/NSTAui4.jpg
On one of the days, Daisy chatted with Rose for a bit. I had put aging on pause for a few days, just so the children could attend school a bit before Lily ages to teenager.

https://i.imgur.com/UF9P2ed.jpg
Lily and Rose spent some time together while they watched TV.

https://i.imgur.com/VVPatAt.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/DVppv5H.jpg
Then I sent Daisy to the gym so that she could get the benefit of the moodlet. She had a wish to train somebody so she trained this guy who is a random Sim.

https://i.imgur.com/WohFQlq.jpg
Ariana decided it was time to throw a protest against unskilled Sims. Those of you that know me know I do this every so often after Llandros mentioned it in his Ultimate Sim Challenge videos. It gives that 2 day skill boost moodlet to the whole family. With the faster learner LTR, skills are learned much faster.

https://i.imgur.com/PDOUu6u.jpg
Daisy went to the Bistro shortly after to get the celebrity opportunity done. It was the one where you eat there, then chat with three Sims about the place. Abigail from University came to visit since I once invited her to a party just for fun.

https://i.imgur.com/3gYUhpM.jpg
Ariana and Rose had a pillow fight in the third floor bedroom.

https://i.imgur.com/LNdeqzV.jpg
Harlan and Daisy spent some time alone together to enjoy each others bodies.

https://i.imgur.com/8F5g5gC.jpg
That night, Christian Jones came back for a visit. For those who don't remember, he is the clone of Christopher (Steel) Jones.

***More coming at some point, most likely tomorrow after work.

Lily likes to play with the dollhouse, which she had done ever since she was a toddler.

https://i.imgur.com/nWdDxrD.jpg
I have also been having her continue to learn logic by playing chess, or using the chemistry table. She did use the telescope in an earlier update.

https://i.imgur.com/nf8pH6L.jpg
Daisy got a guitar at the recent Gift Giving party, so now she likes to play it every time she gets.

https://i.imgur.com/7ALdNCz.jpg
She still has a bit to go to reach the top of both the logic and athletic skills. She's not far from completing her lifetime wish and should get it done before her age up to Adult.

https://i.imgur.com/bMqwRG8.jpg
One of the people that Daisy plays chess with is her mother, Ariana. It's still surprising that Ariana is alive, I'm not sure why my Sims are living so long past their lifespans.

https://i.imgur.com/1IyHOqt.jpg
Rose is good about doing her homework, as is her older sister Lily.

https://i.imgur.com/B7NEZVG.jpg
Then Daisy worked in the garden where she had added some of the plants I wanted her to plant.

https://i.imgur.com/EnAVSRb.jpg
Some of the family went to a party and since they are celebrities, even the kids get their pictures taken. Here, Lily poses for the camera.

https://i.imgur.com/HlTfEJt.jpg
Daisy chatted with her brother John, who was also at the party.

https://i.imgur.com/TmFrrzC.jpg
I believe this lady is either Abigail Langerak's daughter, Sheena, or her granddaughter. I can't remember though.

https://i.imgur.com/WQ13Ogn.jpg
The girls got tired of the party so they decided to play tag.

Langerak Family, Day 223

***Just a quick note here, I did some calculations and figured it will roughly be day 400 when generation 10 is born. That is when I plan to permanently move them from Sunset Valley, as long as the save holds that long. I think I'll do it this way for every town, but this time, I'm going to hold a poll of what town I should move them to next. It won't be for several months though, still have 177 days until 400.

https://i.imgur.com/GlnhbOe.jpg
As soon as Lily got up, she went downstairs to play on the family's new video game console.

https://i.imgur.com/z8EhMOT.jpg
Ariana continues to paint for fun as she doesn't know how much longer she'll be around.

https://i.imgur.com/6QqadZa.jpg
Harlan wanted to woohoo Daisy so I granted that wish before he had to go to work. Needless to say, it was enough for me to put him on work hard at work. That would get him a raise later on in the update.

https://i.imgur.com/QSmz3ED.jpg
I decided that Rose needed to learn a skill as well, so I had her work on her logic skill. She gained the first couple of levels before school started.

Daisy needed to go to the grocery store so I decided to have her jog there. She could have used a car, or she could have used the teleport/emerge power she has from the PlantSim mod, but this will help her out. I did have her use emerge to teleport to her garden afterwards though.

https://i.imgur.com/gVcFINA.jpg
I had her buy some of the more common fruits and vegetables to plant, but she does have the special grapes from France, the money trees, and I hope to find some others to add too.

https://i.imgur.com/kT7UAgT.jpg
I find it odd that two of her fellow housemates are at level 4 celebrity, yet she is only at three. She's married to a four star, so I figured that'd do it. However, it doesn't so I said yes to the Bistro opportunity for the umpteenth time.

Since the girls were at school, Ariana decided to take a turn at playing video games. She only had a laptop when she was growing up as I never gave them a console to play on.

https://i.imgur.com/2LdKrWQ.jpg
Daisy found that Carly was at the Bistro, so she chatted with her. They are as good of friends as Ariana and Cori were, and as Emily and Zelda Mae Sekemoto were.

https://i.imgur.com/Mm2bQ80.jpg
Rose wanted to go to a distant relatives house after school, so I let her. His name is Brett Goth, and I thought since they aren't close cousins, maybe they could end up together. However, when I looked at him as an adult, I saw he is going to be really messed up. :lol:

Then it was time for Lily to age up to teenager and we can actually see how pretty she is. However, this is what happens every time a PlantSim ages up so see below for her makeover.

https://i.imgur.com/NbOjDAN.jpg
Here is Lily after her makeover. I only fixed her lips slightly, scaled down her chin, and lowered her head width. Everything else was not touched. The reason I've decided to make her heir is that her looks are different from Daisy and Rose, as Rose is an exact clone of her mother and grandmother.

Langerak Family, Day 224

https://i.imgur.com/IadQYP0.jpg
When Daisy woke up, I had her do some more work on her athletic skill.

https://i.imgur.com/CCEnMCF.jpg
Meanwhile, I had Ariana do some more paintings. She is 105 days old currently.

https://i.imgur.com/Rh5tbps.jpg
I also decided that Lily needed to learn the athletic skill, as it is one of her traits, just like her mother.

https://i.imgur.com/3KlMaJ7.jpg
Then it was time for Daisy to work in the garden. She is just $2000 shy of reaching the top of the gardener career.

https://i.imgur.com/Iqmh1lQ.jpg
Harlan decided to help Rose learn chess. She got the first couple skill points and he is about halfway through the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/wSljuAA.jpg
Then I sent Daisy on a jog around town for a while, with the brain enhancing power enabled. It came from the PlantSim mod.

https://i.imgur.com/cau4wzB.jpg
Upon returning home, I had Daisy start to teach Lily how to drive. I'll have to buy a fourth car soon so that Lily has her own.

https://i.imgur.com/Z2QLJAe.jpg
Just a random picture of some descendants protesting at City Hall.

https://i.imgur.com/QQEjRiq.jpg
I had sent Ariana to the Bistro for an opportunity, but it was her time to pass away and she left early. I got a notification saying she failed the opportunity.

https://i.imgur.com/mg9hFoH.jpg
Harlan and Lily zoomed to the Bistro as fast as they could, and they happened to get there in time to see Ariana beg the Reaper. However, he refused, and she died for good.

https://i.imgur.com/8fkivLm.jpg
Even though they were upset, I had them watch the cooking channel to get their minds off Ariana's death.

***I messed around too much last night and only ended up playing one day before going to bed. I plan on playing more tonight.

Goth Family, Day 225 through Day 228 Part 1

***Not changing the name of the story thread, but I've only got Goth's living in the house now so updates are changing to the Goth family.

https://i.imgur.com/ekFROqL.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/aTd0AeY.jpg
To start this update, I waited for everyone to get ready then sent Harlan to the cake. He is now an Adult and has a midlife crisis. This is his second time hitting this life stage, and it'll also be his last. He's basically lived two lifetimes.

https://i.imgur.com/khUlNck.jpg
Afterwards, Daisy took Lily to practice driving again. This time, she completed her training and she can now drive a car. Speaking of which, my Corvette went missing so not sure who took it. Still have the Silverado and Camaro though.

https://i.imgur.com/EGyzLQi.jpg
Rose watched some TV for a bit, I believe it was the kids channel.

https://i.imgur.com/5qkmzwH.jpg
Harlan needed to throw a party for an opportunity, so I decided to have him dance for a bit until they got there. I wanted the partygoers out in the kitchen since it is the biggest open area other than outside.

https://i.imgur.com/9xYEyA4.jpg
Daisy talked with Sheena a bit at the party. She and the other family members actually spent time with a lot of family.

https://i.imgur.com/beMLd3x.jpg
I had sent Rose over to Dwight's house to visit relatives. However, she spent most of the time playing tag with him until this happened. Looks like his head is caught in the fence.

https://i.imgur.com/Di6AM35.jpg
An aerial view of the partygoers dancing.

https://i.imgur.com/9jsFTkJ.jpg
When the party had ended, Daisy went to work in the garden.

https://i.imgur.com/3LzRHOk.jpg
I had Lily work with the chemistry table some. She hasn't got them all yet.

https://i.imgur.com/Iq5ZGzH.jpg
Daisy did some more exercising in an attempt to reach the top of the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/lV3ma8O.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/T9SvJ7D.jpg
Harlan wanted a little loving so he and Daisy ended up kissing, and woohooing.

https://i.imgur.com/qgZ3LX6.jpg
Daisy had a low social meter for some reason, so I had her chat with her hologram creature.

Goth Family, Day 225 through Day 228 Part 2

https://i.imgur.com/7MgcczP.jpg
In the morning, the family ate pancakes for breakfast.

https://i.imgur.com/JjSXtSi.jpg
Both Harlan and Daisy had wishes related to athletics so that is what they started out with after breakfast. Daisy was very close to getting athletics finished.

https://i.imgur.com/cybaeBM.jpg
They went on a date after Daisy finished in the garden. I never really have Sims windsurf so decided to have them do that.

https://i.imgur.com/8wARLLP.jpg
Daisy asked her distant relative, Alex Langerak, out to the beach. However, he said no so she ended up calling Brannon Naquin instead. I was going off the guys she already showed interest in.

https://i.imgur.com/DHtQQVa.jpg
They did their homework together and about that time, I heard Harlan and Daisy stop windsurfing.

https://i.imgur.com/xMgtwaY.jpg
Lily had a wish to learn guitar, so she took it out in the kitchen to learn to play. Luckily, her time on the xylophone as a toddler paid off and she started out at level 2.

https://i.imgur.com/aqxt8AN.jpg
Either later that night, or early the next morning, Lily worked more on her athletic skill.

https://i.imgur.com/mJRq7tm.jpg
For some reason while she was playing chess, Daisy looked at the wall.

https://i.imgur.com/PqtboQ2.jpg
Rose had a wish to preside over the Royal Court, and since it was easy, I granted that wish. She's only staying in the household until she gets married later on but it'll help her if I get her some rewards.

https://i.imgur.com/SjDHDev.jpg
Daisy went to the park since it was one of her wishes, and I had her chat with some of the townies there. To be honest, it's mostly descendants of Emily that are still left, but a lot of them are distant cousins now. This woman's name is Beth (Sekemoto) Gaffney, and she is married to a pudding face that the game generated. She is the granddaughter of Sam Sekemoto and Rain (Forest-Sekemoto) Langerak. Her mother is the daughter of Christen Bunch, so this does make her a distant relative of Daisy's. (I have to thank my FamilyEcho tree for this one, I use it to reference how someone is related so I can keep track).

https://i.imgur.com/7VAat80.jpg
Daisy felt a bit more comfortable with skating, so she got a wish to do a spin.

https://i.imgur.com/CBXKgfI.jpg
Rose and Lily are both good at doing their homework autonomously.

https://i.imgur.com/WdtWYfi.jpg
Daisy still needs to reach the top of the logic skill to complete her LTW, so I had her challenge Harlan to a few games of chess.

https://i.imgur.com/LESFZ6d.jpg
For the first time in her life, Lily photosynthesized outside.

Goth Family, Day 225 through Day 228 Part 3

https://i.imgur.com/I2TqYiM.jpg
Lily invited Brannon over again and he said yes so they hung out for a bit in the front yard. If they end up together, his name might slightly get altered to Brandon. However, either way, I got rid of his old haircut and slightly edited his face.

https://i.imgur.com/T1XFoUv.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/5EELpyH.jpg
Then, I had them start to flirt a bit and Brannon seemed very receptive to it. It led to Lily pressing her luck and giving him a kiss.

https://i.imgur.com/T5NIKSY.jpg
I sent them over to one of the pools in town to swim, when I realized that Brannon was wearing a diving suit.

https://i.imgur.com/2kcHj2D.jpg
Lily saw that Troy Langerak was at the pool so she went to talk with him. He is Dwight's son.

https://i.imgur.com/2Rt76ln.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kqy9233.jpg
Then it was time for Rose to age up. I was getting tired at this point, so I didn't give her a makeover yet.

It looks like Daisy and Harlan are having fun windsurfing!
Nice to see that decendants of the Bunches and the Sekemotos are still around! <3
The flower girls are looking good, so is Brannon. I can see why you would change his name to Brandon :D
Does plantsims have longer lifespans than normal sims?
