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 239

https://i.imgur.com/e1HwnRx.jpg
Brandon was one of the first ones up, so he ate breakfast on his own.

https://i.imgur.com/n6g0P5S.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/YcerkpT.jpg
Then it was time for the twins birthdays.

https://i.imgur.com/V2eKbgB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/24WSODg.jpg
I dressed them up in similar outfits, although one is in pajamas at the moment.

https://i.imgur.com/LvIwlRh.jpg
The birthdays took a while for some reason, so I ended up just letting everyone eat. Harlan was getting hungry finally after I gave him Hardly Hungry.

https://i.imgur.com/7SY520Y.jpg
Rose wanted a karaoke machine, so I put one in her room. I took it out later, but kept it so they can use it again.

https://i.imgur.com/NakCXxd.jpg
Holly and Ivy sat and watched TV for a while.

https://i.imgur.com/fvXR57Z.jpg
For some reason, Beth Gaffney was standing on the front porch. If you remember, she was the lady that Daisy took a selfie with in my profile pic. However, I edited Beth to be sort of a modern vampire lady, and changed her name to Elizabeth.

https://i.imgur.com/xw4OmzB.jpg
Before bed, Harlan sang a song with his daughter while Brandon booed them.

Brandon was the only one who needed to eat, and he was also the first up. He played drums after eating his breakfast, he plans to drum in Lily's band.

https://i.imgur.com/by6A3EC.jpg
Harlan talked with Rose as soon as she woke up. They are pretty close, but maybe not a full relationship bar.

https://i.imgur.com/pZjexnT.jpg
Downstairs, Lily decided to play chess with Holly. The twins will at least have a few skill points in logic by the time they leave the house.

https://i.imgur.com/e2593Ks.jpg
Nearby, Ivy decided she wanted to play video games instead of learning a skill.

https://i.imgur.com/oK9LkCt.jpg
Daisy decided to randomly take a selfie with Rose, and I really like their facial expressions in this one.

https://i.imgur.com/ds6Kvps.jpg
I had thought that I'd finished with Rose's driving skill, but I actually hadn't. I had Harlan help her get her license.

https://i.imgur.com/tSHrRrB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/PDzPzBl.jpg
Lily went to city hall to officially register in the band career. I don't know how far she'll get in it, but it's more for fun than it is for money. She got a phone call on her way home, and it must've been a good one because she didn't look mad.

https://i.imgur.com/Of7IV9u.jpg
Brandon wanted to gain in athletics so he decided to use his aura to help with it. It also helped Daisy and Rose with their logic skill. At this point, Daisy still hadn't reached level 10 yet, so she hadn't finished her LTW either.

https://i.imgur.com/RVloGOr.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/k40M3AT.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ruW3E90.jpg
Brandon and Lily decided to go on a date to the Bistro. When they were done, Lily saw an incomplete snowman so she decided to make it a complete one. John Langerak happened to be there, he is Lily's uncle. Brandon needed to chat with him to complete an opportunity so it worked out perfectly.

https://i.imgur.com/c0Q7Vxy.jpg
The following morning, I decided everyone should eat breakfast together. I figured they should at least once or twice a week.

https://i.imgur.com/17zvEtB.jpg
Harlan needed to chat with 3 Sims to finish an opportunity, so I saw there were several deceased members of the family who had came back for the night. Here, Harlan chats with Emily Jones, the whole reason this family even exists.

https://i.imgur.com/PumRuRg.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ldLAMam.jpg
Lastly for this part of the update, Daisy bought a skill booster elixir in the hopes it'd help with her logic. However, it boosted another skill instead.

https://i.imgur.com/eifJSgX.jpg
Both Harlan and Daisy had reasons why they needed to exercise, so I set them up to do so for as long as they needed to.

https://i.imgur.com/FiISujV.jpg
Lily invited Elizabeth Gaffney over so she could get to know her. With Elizabeth being a vampire, she'll be around awhile. There is a good possibility of me trying to marry her into the family somehow.

https://i.imgur.com/9J7Uh6G.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/vmhrLas.jpg
However, Harlan hated her as soon as he saw her. He could deal with witches and werewolves, but he wasn't the biggest fan of fairies or vampires. I remember I had fun trying to get him to befriend Brandon. I don't know why, but he probably should have the Supernatural Skeptic trait.

https://i.imgur.com/PskJ90r.jpg
Lily had a jam session with Brandon. At the time, Rose wasn't available to back them up with the keyboard.

https://i.imgur.com/ZrRStTi.jpg
Rose invited Pierre over and they spent some time together. I don't remember, but I believe I was trying to get them to be in a steady relationship but he had to leave too early or something.

https://i.imgur.com/zG7pmAw.jpg
That following morning, Daisy went back to playing chess. Still didn't have the last skill point at the time the picture was taken, though she may have gotten it by the time I had her quit. I can't remember now since it has been a bit since I took these screenshots.

https://i.imgur.com/pRARbsr.jpg
When she did stop, she spent a bit of time with Harlan.

https://i.imgur.com/g4EHsRc.jpg
Holly decided that she wanted to paint a picture so I left her alone to do so. I don't know if she'll go far in it, but it's something for her to do.

https://i.imgur.com/L4XIDUS.jpg
Daisy had forgotten to practice martial arts, so she talked Harlan through the first skill point so she could spar with him. This means that between the picture of her playing chess and this one, she had completed her logic skill.

https://i.imgur.com/xS2OPu5.jpg
Brandon and Lily are really enjoying their extended engagement. I just had to wait for the right time to try and have one. It was winter at the time so they couldn't have it outdoors.

https://i.imgur.com/aDDdUkT.jpg
Lastly for part 2, Ivy and Holly were just getting ready to play tag.

***One more update for tonight, but if I have any screenshots left, I'll save them for later.

Rose tried to invite Pierre over, but he wouldn't come over. Instead, I ended up sending her over to his house and they chatted there, until it was time for him to go to work. Luckily, his father showed up right about that time so Rose stayed and chatted with him.

https://i.imgur.com/LafQ6HC.jpg
After a few minutes time, Pierre came back from work and Rose finally got to ask him to go steady.

https://i.imgur.com/RZwsxbL.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/0ti7EIU.jpg
Then at one point in my last play session, it was time for Rose to become a Young Adult. Of course, when a Plantsim ages, they always go back to these clothes. I don't know how much you can tell, but she has the same exact face as Daisy.

https://i.imgur.com/MyhilJS.jpg
For her makeover, I did a few subtle changes to her sliders to make her a bit different from Daisy. I believe I gave her a darker eye color too, just to make her a bit unique.

https://i.imgur.com/oEKmcur.jpg
Pierre had stayed with the family for the night so he got to enjoy the party as well, although you can't see him very well.

https://i.imgur.com/bbWpaLx.jpg
Lily played some more guitar to try and build that skill up.

https://i.imgur.com/y0pMga2.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/K2vKAp5.jpg
However, I decided to clean out the kitchen so I could throw a wedding for her and Brandon. The twins and Rose are all getting closer to being able to move out, so I decided now was a good time.

https://i.imgur.com/HvCQx6G.jpg
Then, some family members and guest had a jam session. Brandon's drums went invisible for some reason but I fixed it later.

https://i.imgur.com/HvCQx6G.jpg
Afterwards, the family went to the Bistro to eat while I put the kitchen back together the way it was. I took a picture with my smartphone so I would remember how it was set up.

https://i.imgur.com/4Tb13IO.jpg
Lastly, Lily and Brandon showered together since they both needed to. Of course, we know what they were doing in there. :wink:

Goth Family Update, Days 240-244 Part 4

***Last part of these several days, next update after will be from last nights play session.

https://i.imgur.com/FFzLkWl.jpg
Harlan spent a little bit of time watching TV in the morning.

https://i.imgur.com/qcqORPM.jpg
Daisy didn't come downstairs when she woke up and instead read a book.

When Brandon got up, I sent him to get some breakfast since he was hungry. He's like 90 days away from being an adult now so he'll outlive Lily. However, she might use some methods to live longer just so they can stay together.

https://i.imgur.com/JP2nxqn.jpg
Lily went downstairs to play some chess. It was still winter so she couldn't really do anything outside.

https://i.imgur.com/gVtFBCT.jpg
Rose had a wish to make a snow angel so I sent her outside to make one before sending her back in.

https://i.imgur.com/2gphS8j.jpg
Holly had a wish to skate so I sent her off to do that.

https://i.imgur.com/OzrBHpF.jpg
The other family members also went to the park with her, but they didn't make any money for the band.

https://i.imgur.com/sz7rdZR.jpg
Daisy decided to try out the snowboard thing and she did pretty good.

Pierre happened to be on the front steps when he aged up. He needs a makeover but I'll get to it soon. He's not living in the house with the family anyway, and since Rose is a young adult now, I moved her into her own house.

Goth Family Update, Day 245

https://i.imgur.com/Vf6gb35.jpg
Daisy's social bar was getting pretty low so I had her chat with her sprite.

https://i.imgur.com/SK3go4E.jpg
When Lily came downstairs, she complimented her mother on her looks then they just chatted about random stuff.

https://i.imgur.com/edNwaMT.jpg
Holly decided to paint another painting, this one gained the family $6.

https://i.imgur.com/3bIM8B4.jpg
Once everyone woke up, everybody but Harlan went to the diner for breakfast. Behind Brandon's wings is his grandmother, Rain Langerak. She is getting closer to being an elder but she probably won't hit it for several weeks.

https://i.imgur.com/sOGBPIC.jpg
Harlan had a wish to use the martial arts dummy so I put it out long enough for him to use it.

https://i.imgur.com/lzXHCVX.jpg
When Daisy got back home, she and Harlan took a steamy shower together.

https://i.imgur.com/o17X391.jpg
Lily and Brandon practiced their instruments.

https://i.imgur.com/u6FHLX1.jpg
Meanwhile, Daisy exercised for 6 hours straight for a wish.

https://i.imgur.com/6tAG6bC.jpg
The twins played chess together. One of them didn't even have any logic skill when I thought they did, but both do now.

https://i.imgur.com/UeQDfBK.jpg
Harlan went to a party where he chatted with a distant relative of his. However, the guy kept neglecting to feed his toddler.

https://i.imgur.com/bLLuXSL.jpg
John Langerak was at the party and a random named Deidre gave him flowers. I thought he was still with Carly but maybe I'm wrong.

https://i.imgur.com/677SjG7.jpg
Dwight was also at the party so Harlan went to chat with him and gave him a hug.

https://i.imgur.com/ILxaaCN.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/LzpAMlm.jpg
I tried the divide by 0 thing on Daisy, not knowing what would happen. Guess I won't be doing that again.

https://i.imgur.com/qQFXCOA.jpg
Lastly, I sent everyone to bed but had Brandon get something to eat. However, he forgot to eat his supper so I had to wake him up to eat.

Goth Family Day 246, part 1

***Got too tired to finish the day last night so this is only part of it. I'll play the rest of it tonight.

https://i.imgur.com/LdGel90.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/XbTiZX5.jpg
The main focus of this day was to celebrate several birthdays, so I had Daisy go first. I pretty much dressed her the way she was, but not 100% with all outfits.

https://i.imgur.com/lndiFUv.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/iIW5v37.jpg
Then it was time for Ivy to age up to teenager. I think she turned out well.

https://i.imgur.com/98dCdcf.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/IsvmdSV.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/3Xyu0m6.jpg
Last but not least, Holly aged up. I just used MC to copy Ivy's clothes over to her, then colored them differently so they aren't the same. Then the family ate cake before i shut things down.

Goth Family Day 246, part 2

https://i.imgur.com/N3jhYsY.jpg
Brandon Goth had a wish to play drums in the park so I sent him there. It might look cold due to the melting snow, but it was in the 40's and raining. I sent him elsewhere when it started to rain.

https://i.imgur.com/4spkGbB.jpg
After the birthday party from part 1 of this day, I guess Daisy must have wanted to burn off the birthday cake. I don't remember if it was for an opportunity, but it was either that or a wish.

https://i.imgur.com/K1l9qPv.jpg
One of the twins practiced driving with Lily. However, I cannot tell you which girl it is now, especially since I can't make them out in the picture.

Goth Family, Days 247 and 248 Part 1

https://i.imgur.com/myEoB0A.jpg
The following morning, the whole family watched TV together. It was a Monday, so I was trying to get everyone's fun bar up before they headed to work and school.

https://i.imgur.com/ON5hhXs.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/6jrd4m8.jpg
Brandon and Lily got a little romantic with the house being almost empty. Afterwards, they headed to the park to play as a band.

https://i.imgur.com/GpE1UR8.jpg
Harlan had an opportunity to steal campaign money, which he had resisted until this moment. I didn't know how the chances of getting fired were set, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, he did get fired and he started freaking out about it. However, it's not like the family needs more money and he was about to retire anyway.

https://i.imgur.com/FeUtakg.jpg
And since he got fired, I decided to have him streak through the grass of City Hall. No one even paid attention to him and he never did get in trouble.

https://i.imgur.com/EdCVJRF.jpg
Harlan: Hey, Daisy? Guess what.
Daisy: What?
Harlan: (whispers in her ear) I got fired!
Daisy: Lol, who cares?

https://i.imgur.com/76aPIPx.jpg
Afterwards, Harlan spent some time chatting with Daisy's uncle Michael.

https://i.imgur.com/83KC0DB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Q39mo0h.jpg
Then it was time for his second age up to elder. I had control over him this time, though, so I made him over to be similar to his younger counterpart.

https://i.imgur.com/aN2i2Ub.jpg
The family ate cake afterwards to celebrate.

https://i.imgur.com/79DLexI.jpg
Lastly, the girls did their homework before it was time to go to bed.

***An update or two will be posted tomorrow and then I'm all caught up.

Goth Family, Days 247 and 248 Part 2

https://i.imgur.com/x6Leocn.jpg
It was early in the morning when Daisy went out to check the mail. It was time for bills again, and they usually are somewhere around a couple thousand.

https://i.imgur.com/9Glwyhp.jpg
Upstairs, Brandon decided to do the chattering teeth prank on Harlan. It did not go over well with him, and he ended up yelling at Brandon.

https://i.imgur.com/988Ajyt.jpg
When Daisy had finished getting the mail, she went out to the garden to work. Winter had ended recently so it was time to start taking care of it again.

https://i.imgur.com/oIj2gsn.jpg
Brandon and Lily went upstairs to woohoo. They aren't quite ready to have children yet so they make sure they are careful.

https://i.imgur.com/j7wDkxS.jpg
Being fired or retired means one has time to do things they normally didn't have time for. Playing video games is one of them.

https://i.imgur.com/H3J80aG.jpg
I sent Daisy out to fish for fun, but I know that she'd get some fish I could use for fertilizer.

https://i.imgur.com/I4VPCNG.jpg
Lily randomly decided to play her guitar in the front room. However, I had something else I wanted her to do so I stopped her after taking the picture.

https://i.imgur.com/XypYnbI.jpg
Daisy and Brandon, though, were practicing their instruments together. I don't remember, but Lily might have joined them later.

https://i.imgur.com/vjC0HhG.jpg
The twins had came back from school so I set them up to do homework together. Brandon was hungry, so he had some cake for a snack.

https://i.imgur.com/ZVnDVLw.jpg
Lily went to a party (which actually probably explains the reason she wasn't practicing with her husband and mother) and this little girl was being neglected. Lily felt sorry for her and fed her a bottle.

https://i.imgur.com/QHG58Lp.jpg
Elizabeth was at the party, and Lily did acknowledge her but not for long. I saw someone else there so I decided right then and there to say hello.

https://i.imgur.com/hB9HrTY.jpg
L4U-Rn was the one I wanted to say hello to, and I convinced her to come back to live with the family. It was easy to get her to break up with Toaster, but I only did this because I kind of miss L4U-Rn. I might make a little "story" for her in future updates, but I'm trying to figure out how I'll do it.

https://i.imgur.com/6akbqVz.jpg
She had a lot of ITF things in her inventory so I sold some of them, and kept a couple.

https://i.imgur.com/lpECDKR.jpg
After getting all charged up, I had her do some painting. My idea is to make her a master painter so she can build up some money for the family. I might not really have my Sims work so that they can focus on family, although at least one Sim will have a job. And I also don't know how long L4U-Rn is staying, but I plan on having her around at least for the Moonlight Falls move.

Goth Family, Day 249

***Found out that PlantSims will have babies with their spouse if you aren't playing them. I got a message saying Rose and Pierre are having a child soon.

https://i.imgur.com/8UwxsZY.jpg
A few hours after the last update ended, Daisy woke up to chat with L4U-Rn. They were basically just getting acquainted.

https://i.imgur.com/MISEcr4.jpg
Harlan and Brandon ate their breakfast together. They are at least friends, even if Harlan isn't the biggest fan of fairies.

https://i.imgur.com/qUTc6zj.jpg
Daisy was gardening pretty early, and it looks even earlier since I put in a Brntwaffles lighting mod in not long ago.

https://i.imgur.com/pOtuqNP.jpg
L4U-Rn painted a picture while everyone was getting ready. She only has chips in that let her clean or learn skills, she doesn't really have any that make her more like a Sim.

https://i.imgur.com/Grf2nNT.jpg
Harlan was having a random conversation with Lily, but it looks like he was complimenting her on something.

https://i.imgur.com/ePUXdrT.jpg
Shortly after, Lily decided to do some exercising. A bit later, Brandon ended up joining her.

https://i.imgur.com/5znPi1M.jpg
When he had finished, he started to chat with L4U-Rn.

https://i.imgur.com/OSL4awF.jpg
Harlan and Daisy went on a small date, but they only did some dancing.

https://i.imgur.com/IW0wUwT.jpg
A paparazzo was hanging around and I wanted to irritate her a bit, so I had Brandon prank her.

https://i.imgur.com/bC96hj0.jpg
Lily had a wish to have a pillow fight with the Plumbot, so I granted it. It's one of the easier ones to grant.

https://i.imgur.com/rdWaiXt.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/zHaYQO5.jpg
Either Harlan or Daisy wanted to spar, and it wasn't working when they were at home, so I had them do it in the park. Then, they played horseshoes for a bit before I sent them home.

https://i.imgur.com/5qhPg01.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/3M6dANw.jpg
Ivy came home from school but Holly stayed for an opportunity. I had Ivy do her homework right when she hit the lot boundaries, so she picked a spot under the tree to do homework. She also had a wish to photosynthesize so I granted that one.

https://i.imgur.com/TRbpWDP.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/oaUTdCA.jpg
Brandon is getting a bit too much with his pranking, and Lily is getting tired of it. She loves the man, but enough is enough. Even I am getting tired of him making his family mad, but I don't mind if he does it to non-household members.

https://i.imgur.com/IjtaLTe.jpg
Lastly, Harlan and Daisy ended their date night with woohoo. Not long ago, one of them had a wish for another baby, but I declined it. They already have four together, and Harlan has six children all together. However, his children with his ex are dead now, only his grandkids from them remain.
