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.

https://i.imgur.com/WfZ15Z9.jpg
I'm kind of glad that I ended up selling Lauren, because soon after, Daisy got the opportunity to resurrect a Sim. She chose to take Harlan's grave with her and the scientists brought him back as a ghost. He will stay in the family as a ghost until Daisy passes away then they will both go to the afterlife together.

https://i.imgur.com/Zhm0IBF.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/gJuvuND.jpg
Once they got home, the reunited couple made out in the kitchen. Being dead for so long had made his fun meter to tank, so I had him and Daisy woohoo to quickly raise the meter.

https://i.imgur.com/nQJaVjr.jpg
For the first time, Jacob got to meet his grandfather. They seem to get along really well.

https://i.imgur.com/oOXH0Ta.jpg
Harlan also made sure to tell Brandon how happy he was that Lily found a good guy. Even though they sometimes didn't get along, Harlan always thought of him as the son he never had.

https://i.imgur.com/rt6HzdM.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/asLgJjA.jpg
Then it was time for Jacob to age up to teen. He didn't get to raise his grade up enough for me to pick his trait, so now he adds equestrian to his loner, unlucky, and excitable traits. He may use a potion to change them later, or I'll use mods if I decide to.

https://i.imgur.com/HUfpyKS.jpg
The family then sat down to eat birthday cake together.

https://i.imgur.com/9jzP3aX.jpg
Then Jacob invited Christa over for a chat. He announced to her that it was his birthday, while Daisy ignored someone on the phone.

https://i.imgur.com/K6IhvBr.jpg
This is when I found out that Jacob and Christa do like each other, so everything should work out just fine.

https://i.imgur.com/EMRVzZF.jpg
Lily played chess with herself, but she was apparently mad that she was beating herself, lol

https://i.imgur.com/IR4d43v.jpg
Lastly, Jacob confessed his attraction to Christa and they became romantic interests. I'll have them go on a date soon, before they ever share a first kiss or become an official couple. For now, I haven't added her to the family tree as Jacob's partner, but she is on the tree due to being a distant relative of the family.

https://i.imgur.com/W6Voxve.jpg
Lily wants to get to know Christa. She suspects that she will be her daughter-in-law soon.

https://i.imgur.com/sz99pwa.jpg
The weather wasn't that great so I instead just had Jacob and Christa share their first kiss, and become boyfriend-girlfriend. They can go on a date a different time before young adulthood.

https://i.imgur.com/7w9gSE5.jpg
Brandon also wanted to get to know Christa. When he approached her, I was afraid he'd try to prank her like with everyone else, but he didn't.

https://i.imgur.com/I4bxXVw.jpg
Lily ate a few more Life Fruits when she woke up the following morning.

https://i.imgur.com/jOqbUan.jpg
When they were both up, Brandon and Lily spent a bit of time together.

https://i.imgur.com/Pclb1tw.jpg
On the opposite side of the house, so did Daisy and Harlan.

https://i.imgur.com/pbZIUQP.jpg
Lily had a wish to practice martial arts with the dummy, so I had to set it up in the kitchen.

https://i.imgur.com/gWydqNT.jpg
After breakfast, Harlan took Jacob to learn how to drive.

https://i.imgur.com/r6IHvAY.jpg
Brandon was going stir crazy, so I sent him to the park. He got a wish to snowboard, so that's what he did.

https://i.imgur.com/sSfoH9J.jpg
Everyone got together later to learn the cooking skill together. Jacob still didn't gain the first level though.

https://i.imgur.com/VLGvRTy.jpg
I decided to throw another Snowflake Day party. Carrie Naquin wanted Harlan's autograph as soon as she arrived.

https://i.imgur.com/TEYJpmF.jpg
Some of the guests included Rose Langerak, Holly Langerak, Rain Yu, and Elizabeth Radford. Daisy and Brandon were also on the far right of those guests.

https://i.imgur.com/LenA7VR.jpg
Most of the guests did get presents, but a few did not.

Jacob Goth - Bicycle, roll of toilet paper.
Christa Goth (distant cousin, also girlfriend of Jacob) - 2 guitars
Lily Goth - Amphibi Clops or whatever it's called and a chess table.
Nicholaus Radford (soon to be husband of Elizabeth-Too-Many-Last-Names) - coal. He's also Sheri, Daisy's grandchilds, father.
Brandon Goth- Sleeping Gnome McNulty
Holly Langerak - Easel
Rain Yu - Coal
Daisy Goth - coal, chess table
Pierre Langerak (one of Daisy's son-in-laws) - chess table
Gregory Langerak (another SIL) - umbrella

https://i.imgur.com/tQvUeZ3.jpg
Sheri was the next one to want an autograph, so Brandon obliged.

https://i.imgur.com/chIzTMv.jpg
Harlan got to know Elizabeth a bit. I can't remember if they knew each other prior to this or not.

https://i.imgur.com/Jj1h4Jb.jpg
Lastly, the family sat down to eat supper together.

DAY 300 IS FINALLY HERE!!! Will probably play that tomorrow, but it's not going to be anything special other than we hit 300 days.

Goth Family Update, Day 300 - Day 302

https://i.imgur.com/uck5Dtn.jpg
Jacob got hungry in the morning so he ate some leftover birthday cake.

https://i.imgur.com/8oOnJUn.jpg
Lily sat on the couch to watch the cooking channel with her father.

https://i.imgur.com/E35vRqb.jpg
Brandon chatted with Jacob to get to know his son better.

https://i.imgur.com/hJPOeQu.jpg
Lily had a wish to train Elizabeth in athletics, so I had her use her summoning to bring her to the gym.

https://i.imgur.com/BBU69WH.jpg
Brandon had a wish to redeem some of his festival tokens. He ended up buying two of the snowy bears.

https://i.imgur.com/XtWYg6j.jpg
Then he joined in a snowball fight with some other festivalgoers.

https://i.imgur.com/ZFgtn2Y.jpg
The rest of the family met up with him and everyone skated.

https://i.imgur.com/IYtubag.jpg
A victim of the recent meteor wanted to skate with Jacob so he let her but then left shortly after.

https://i.imgur.com/4gLEI65.jpg
Since Jacob was hungry, I sent the whole family to the Bistro for supper.

https://i.imgur.com/m9e9bAO.jpg
Daisy went to a party later that night, but since it was a smaller house, there weren't too many guests. Daisy spent most of the night talking to her uncle, Tyler Langerak. He is the son of Dwight Langerak and Rain Forest-Sekemoto-Langerak-Yu.

https://i.imgur.com/SAVYRcD.jpg
The other Sims who know martial arts weren't ready yet, so Brandon did some meditating to try to raise the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/tuvEeTw.jpg
When Lily was ready, she and Brandon sparred. He lost this round, but I'm not sure who the overall winner was.

https://i.imgur.com/ojWnsv5.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/WBhbvjy.jpg
Harlan and Daisy shared one last kiss before Harlan went back to the Netherworld. Daisy won't have to wait too much longer to see him again, though, she only has a couple days left on her lifespan.

https://i.imgur.com/12g6b8V.jpg
Lily and Brandon sparred a few more times while Harlan kissed Daisy and left. Lily ended up reaching level 9, the same as where Daisy is.

***14 more screenshots will be posted a bit later, I need to get out of my chair for a while.

Goth Family Update, Day 300 - Day 302 (Part 2)

https://i.imgur.com/IBcO3y5.jpg
After their sparring session, Lily really needed a shower so Brandon joined her as he kind of needed one as well, just not as bad.

https://i.imgur.com/xoJs1fl.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/jZqCczH.jpg
Jacob asked Christa to come over for a while, and thankfully she agreed. When no one was looking, they shared a kiss.

https://i.imgur.com/EauwBMY.jpg
Brandon was up to his old tricks again, pranking Lily.

https://i.imgur.com/N0W2cdQ.jpg
Jacob tried to ask Christa on a date, but she refused because she couldn't stay. I think she either had to work, or it may have been because their prom was later that day. Instead, they had pillow fight until it was time for Christa to leave.

https://i.imgur.com/tDnXy31.jpg
Jacob decided to introduce himself to Christa's mother, Mercedes Goth. Mercedes is a distant relative to my family, but Christa and Jacob aren't that closely related, making the relationship alright.

https://i.imgur.com/SSA0uaa.jpg
No one was paying attention to Christa's sister, Belinda, so Jacob changed her diaper and fed her for Mercedes.

https://i.imgur.com/2nPeWyT.jpg
However, it soon became time for the prom so Jacob headed over to the school and he and Christa had an amazing night.

https://i.imgur.com/On1BUQt.jpg
The following morning, once everyone was ready, the whole family got together for a jam session. Since Lily is trying to learn all instruments, she took over for keyboard, and Daisy used Lily's guitar. Daisy already had some guitar skill, so she wasn't at 0 like Jacob was. Jacob just kind of played along quietly in the background until he learned the first level of the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/Tz35uQ0.jpg
After a while, it was time for Jacob to go take some skill classes in athletics, cooking, and charisma. Daisy grabbed the mail around the same time, and the jam session slowly broke up.

https://i.imgur.com/UYhv8vD.jpg
Both Lily and Daisy were at level 9 of the martial arts skill, so I had them spar several times just because I love watching high level martial artists spar.

https://i.imgur.com/6tcOOsn.jpg
Afterwards, Brandon turned on one of his aura's that affect athletics and logic so he could tutor her in logic.

https://i.imgur.com/LvS5pQO.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/k9dQstm.jpg
Later, Jacob made his first meal, autumn salad. The whole family joined together to eat.

***That'll be it until Monday. I have to work both Saturday and Sunday, but I might play Sunday after work and share the updates on Monday (May 23rd, 2022)

Goth Family, Days 303 through 307

https://i.imgur.com/wh1p2Ui.jpg
I gave Jacob a makeover finally. I played it as he had the old hairstyle as a young teenager, then took on a more mature look about halfway through.

https://i.imgur.com/kLmUueV.jpg
When everyone had woken up, the whole family ate breakfast together.

https://i.imgur.com/i6vK81P.jpg
Since spring had come, Lily had to start working in the garden again. There are only six or seven money trees, a few cheese plants, and a Life Fruit plant.

https://i.imgur.com/hyObaOC.jpg
After Jacob got the mail, he ended up playing guitar in the front yard, in his pajamas.

https://i.imgur.com/U7KBiJB.jpg
Lily and Daisy sparred outside after Lily had finished gardening.

https://i.imgur.com/qSu7g5U.jpg
To get cleaned up after sparring, Lily and Brandon shared a shower.

https://i.imgur.com/87ehrFk.jpg
Daisy went to the theater so she could get a jam session going. She picked up the meteors I dropped on the lot.

https://i.imgur.com/LZe7OkN.jpg
The jam session went well, but no one really made that much, and no one got a promotion either.

https://i.imgur.com/K5pqqmt.jpg
Brandon saw his grandmother, Rain, so he stopped to chat with her a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/TgyeS9Q.jpg
Lily saw Holly, so she spent some time chatting with her sister.

https://i.imgur.com/VZ7dwSB.jpg
Jacob had to do his homework, as I want to be able to pick his trait.

https://i.imgur.com/SVLNOO1.jpg
Then Lily and Daisy had another sparring session, and Brandon had his aura going to help them out.

https://i.imgur.com/fTxRlZH.jpg
Daisy finally completed her wish to learn martial arts to the highest level. Lily did too, but she seems more proud of her mother than she does herself.

https://i.imgur.com/KjJyfzl.jpg
With her skill maxed, Lily was the perfect teacher to help Brandon reach his third or fourth LTW. He still has a bit to go, but has roughly 30 more Sim days before he even becomes an adult.

https://i.imgur.com/YiWegRf.jpg
However, he did gain another level.

***There are more updates to come. I wasn't feeling the best this morning so I ended up calling in sick. I felt better by early afternoon, so I decided to play for a while.

Goth Family, Days 303 through 307, Part 2

https://i.imgur.com/xWNVPji.jpg
Brandon has already maxed the logic skill, so he helped Lily to finish learning the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/hQZrd9t.jpg
Here is a random photo I forgot was on the wall. It is John Langerak, Quinton (Sekemoto) Langerak, Ariana Langerak, and Daisy when she was either a teenager, or young adult.

https://i.imgur.com/91H63UG.jpg
Jacob watched the cooking channel. I don't know if he'll end up doing a career where he needs it, but it'll still help him in his home life.

https://i.imgur.com/CLyMTYr.jpg
Daisy had a wish to hug Christa, so she summoned her to the house, chatted with her, then gave her a hug.

https://i.imgur.com/GfK0EM9.jpg
Afterwards, Jacob took Christa on a date at the Bistro.

https://i.imgur.com/01WrmZv.jpg
Front view of Christa.

https://i.imgur.com/Ka4WPZN.jpg
Before the end of the date, Jacob gave Christa a kiss, then drove her to his house. Christa ran home from there as she doesn't live very far at all.

https://i.imgur.com/EJYL9EV.jpg
The following day, Jacob had a field trip to the diner or bistro. He went to school like he was supposed to, and he went on the field trip. However, when he got home, Lily scolded him for missing work, telling him he was in trouble.

https://i.imgur.com/dW4tIjc.jpg
Jacob wasn't very happy about it, but he took his time out like he was supposed to. I went off to do something else with one of the others, and Jacob must have left his time out because the next thing I knew, she was yelling at him again and took away his TV privileges. In an act of defiance, Jacob watched TV anyway. This made Lily mad yet again, and she yelled at him again.

https://i.imgur.com/KxLhQ7B.jpg
Jacob finally had enough, and he yelled at his mother. The autonomy of scolding Jacob all those times caused them to not even be friends.

https://i.imgur.com/UsZBUnm.jpg
Jacob ran off down the road, then randomly picked a place to throw eggs at. When the owner came out, Jacob ran as fast as he could.

https://i.imgur.com/Bnxv85G.jpg
He ended up at the spring festival. I had him buy nachos, but a fan wanted his autograph before he could eat, and it made the nachos disappear. He bought another serving, but that one disappeared too. Luckily, another Sim brought a picnic so Jacob ate with that Sim.

https://i.imgur.com/JPIrp7P.jpg
Daisy decided on her own that she wanted to play chess, so I just let her do it.

https://i.imgur.com/unsKOCi.jpg
Jacob decided he'd had enough of being a deviant, so he begged Lily for forgiveness. She accepted, and he alternated between complimenting her cleverness and enthusing about athletics to bring their relationship all the way back to best friends.

***Probably have enough for one more long update, will post that soon.

Goth Family, Days 303 through 307, Part 3

https://i.imgur.com/fYT522I.jpg
At a party, Daisy chatted with Rain Yu. Rain has been in the save for a long time now, and is just now about to age into an elder.

https://i.imgur.com/i6EOGEq.jpg
She also chatted with Sheena Langerak. Sheena needed a shower, but I somehow lost the moodlet manager, so I used MC to get rid of the moodlet, causing the game to think she took a shower.

https://i.imgur.com/WtFqb9J.jpg
Before she left, she also chatted with the one who invited her to the party. I think his name is Jamal Tolliver, but I might be wrong. Doesn't matter though, he's not important.

https://i.imgur.com/hsJA543.jpg
When she got home, she didn't even make it into the house before she died.

https://i.imgur.com/3KISnFD.jpg
Only one family member was going to quit what they were doing to see Daisy go, but I made them all come out to say their goodbyes.

https://i.imgur.com/jbVB9gI.jpg
Brandon did some meditation to calm himself after Daisy's death. It also helped him out with his martial arts.

https://i.imgur.com/mh0kPdw.jpg
The meditation brought him to level 9 or a black belt in martial arts.

https://i.imgur.com/K0OEUGY.jpg
Lily started to teach Jacob how to play chess.

https://i.imgur.com/2WyOaBF.jpg
But then, Jacob met up with Christa and they shared some time together.

https://i.imgur.com/yBYR48A.jpg
Knowing they were both about to be young adults, Jacob asked Christa if she'd be his wife, although not until they graduated. Christa said yes, so now they are on track for a wedding soon.

https://i.imgur.com/yq0pqzJ.jpg
Lily went to a party, and she chatted with a distant relative named Kizzie Langerak.

https://i.imgur.com/bG8KwiR.jpg
Jacob ordered a pizza, but he was the only one who had some, other than Christa who was still there.

https://i.imgur.com/QUO1r0z.jpg
Lily chatted with Elizabeth about Daisy's death, and she ended up crying on her shoulder. Elizabeth lost her best friend as well, so I'm going to make Elizabeth and Lily be friends as well. They already are friends, but I'll be inviting her over some to hang out.

https://i.imgur.com/0ZUyUCV.jpg
Lily also had to hand out an autograph to a fan, who I believe is also a distant relative. I'm pretty sure he is Dwight's son. If anyone remembers, I let Dwight move out when Melanie die and he had another wife and more kids.

https://i.imgur.com/2nNPY2i.jpg
Lastly, Lily chatted with Christa.

Goth Family, Day 308

https://i.imgur.com/Ak8GdX0.jpg
Brandon whipped up some pancakes for breakfast.

https://i.imgur.com/Ak8GdX0.jpg
Then, only he and Jacob were awake at that time to eat them.

https://i.imgur.com/k47zQjX.jpg
Lily continues to learn the piano in an attempt to learn all four musical instruments to level 10.

https://i.imgur.com/cy2QL9l.jpg
Then Brandon chatted with Jacob to raise his martial arts skill to 1. For some reason, it gave Jacob a black belt when it should be white.

https://i.imgur.com/zmvV4Mg.jpg
However, once he got another point, he had the right colors for his skill level.

https://i.imgur.com/ajR1GfY.jpg
Lily went out to the garden to take care of the few plants that are left.

https://i.imgur.com/rvpfZ8Z.jpg
Even though they are both not quite adults yet, Jacob talked with Christa about their upcoming wedding. Christa wished she could just move in with the family now, and was pleasantly surprised when Jacob seemed to read her thoughts and he asked her. She said yes, and I now have control over her. I made her quit her part time job so she can be available for skill building until they can marry.

https://i.imgur.com/vNxdPnX.jpg
Then they shared a kiss.

https://i.imgur.com/pGfqgpI.jpg
Lily threw her a birthday party and invited her family over.

https://i.imgur.com/AFim12w.jpg
Here is a picture of Christa as a young adult.

https://i.imgur.com/8QA51Qu.jpg
Then the family sat down together to eat cake. Christa is noticeably missing, and it is because I had dragged her hunger bar down so she'd need to eat. Unfortunately, I pulled it too far and she died. I ended up cheating her back to life because I didn't want to have to reload the save. Right after this picture, and before bringing her back, the family quit eating to be upset about her "death".

https://i.imgur.com/qx1dq43.jpg
Lily chatted with this Sim, who wasn't invited. I'm not sure who she is.

https://i.imgur.com/7T0aaQy.jpg
Lastly, Christa chatted with her mother, Mercedes Goth, until it was time for her to leave the party.

***I did not play any more after Tuesday night since I had other things to do. I probably will not be able to play again until either Sunday after work, or sometime next week.

Goth Family, Day 309

https://i.imgur.com/CAB6p18.jpg
Apparently there was a plate that didn't get cleaned up from Christa's birthday party so Lily spent the early morning hours washing that plate, and a few other early morning chores.

https://i.imgur.com/5SVPHGl.jpg
Christa is another athletic Sim so she always wants to exercise. I was busy with the other members of the household when she started and she got stinky soon, but she did gain her first skill point.

https://i.imgur.com/DGRy9Ab.jpg
Jacob ate some breakfast while Lily read a book.

https://i.imgur.com/CEzMrIX.jpg
Other than the money trees, there are only three other plants in the garden. One of those died, so it is just a life fruit plant, a cheese plant, and the trees now.

https://i.imgur.com/0pcqL4V.jpg
After eating breakfast, Jacob got his homework done.

https://i.imgur.com/DQHfRjs.jpg
When Lily went to throw the plant away, I found out that some animal got into the trash so she had to pick all that up too.

https://i.imgur.com/WXS6rai.jpg
Lily finished all the cleaning up, then Brandon put on one of his aura's so he'd gain the martial arts skill faster. Lily did every thing she could to help him, and they sparred three times but he still didn't quite get to the top. For a little bit, Jacob watched them spar and I didn't even know the option was there but I do now.

https://i.imgur.com/jFoma9d.jpg
In between one of the sparring sessions, Jacob went upstairs to paint as I saw it in his queue, put then he stopped painting right after starting so he could play guitar instead.

https://i.imgur.com/BZrap4K.jpg
Jacob then chatted with his fiancé, and he must have been telling her about the garbage Lily had to pick up.

https://i.imgur.com/aRZch0t.jpg
Brandon and Lily went to their shower after sparring.

https://i.imgur.com/drBgNfi.jpg
Once they were done having their fun, Brandon got a wish to meditate for 10 hours so I let him start it.

https://i.imgur.com/L2cLXMb.jpg
I sent the rest of the family to the theater so Lily could try and get some tips to get a promotion. However, Troy Langerak (son of Rain and Dwight) chose that particular moment to die, so I let Lily, Christa, and Jacob mourn his death since he is a family member.

https://i.imgur.com/PozPW2I.jpg
The little girl by Lily turned out to be a werewolf, and Troy's death caused her to transform. This scared both Lily and Christa and they passed out at the same time.

https://i.imgur.com/wcfy4mj.jpg
The Grim Reaper hung around for a while and showed a video to Carrie.

https://i.imgur.com/WcVels3.jpg
When Christa got up from fainting, she ended up peeing all over. She was hungry too, which put her in a bad mood. I sent Stinky to the Bistro with Jacob so she could get something to eat, and I used cheats to rid her of her stench.

https://i.imgur.com/SaerTHs.jpg
Lily played for all these Sims for a couple hours, and she made around $250 by the time she left. Even this deer wanted to listen.

Goth Family, Day 310

https://i.imgur.com/ULtB7tT.jpg
Continuing where we left off, Brandon finally finished meditating for 10 hours, and this made him finish out the martial arts skill.

https://i.imgur.com/cnr8ivm.jpg
Jacob and Christa ate their breakfast together.

https://i.imgur.com/s2xhV2D.jpg
Lily worked in the garden when she got up.

https://i.imgur.com/nq88RGl.jpg
Yet again, Lily had to clean up the garbage because the racoons can't stay out of it.

https://i.imgur.com/KKge3Lj.jpg
Christa wants to go into the music career, so I probably will just let her do that. She played guitar for now and might also fill in every once in while for Lily's band.

https://i.imgur.com/ecDlFEm.jpg
Lily decided she wanted to exercise, just because she can.

https://i.imgur.com/r45PRAv.jpg
Random picture of Jacob I took, heading off to one of his last days of school.

https://i.imgur.com/pWlELGh.jpg
Christa filled in to play guitar for the band this time. She wasn't able to play well at the beginning, but got some better by the time they left.

https://i.imgur.com/8TiU0z5.jpg
Lily and Brandon joined a hot dog eating contest but Aaron Langerak was the one who happened to win.

https://i.imgur.com/i6w9szy.jpg
Brandon, Lily, and Jacob all sat down together to watch the cooking channel before bed.
