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/enXb5rh.jpg
L4U-Rn finished her first large sized painting. Instead of keeping it, she sold it for $96.

https://i.imgur.com/X27NNpD.jpg
Lily went over to the cemetery to have a chat with Tommy Bunch, a distant relative.

https://i.imgur.com/TIa60ue.jpg\
Brandon was working on trying to get his drumming skill to level 10. His LTW is to have three skills at level 10, although this is actually his second LTW. The first was to be worth a certain amount of money.

https://i.imgur.com/Fnv0XUj.jpg
I wasn't doing anything with Lily at the time so she just played video games.

https://i.imgur.com/QvnoXTK.jpg
Daisy had another opportunity to work out for 4 hours. This was enough to make her a 5-Star celebrity. I'm going to let the family stay famous until Moonlight Falls, then I'll try to rid the family of it by not taking opportunities and also by slowly lowering Sims status over the generations there.

https://i.imgur.com/SEbCpUq.jpg
Lily went to the diner for a while and tried to play there for tips. However, nobody wanted to tip her here.

https://i.imgur.com/Olz9SNt.jpg
Later on that same day, she called the other family members in the band and they did make some tips at the park.

https://i.imgur.com/ay60LgN.jpg
When they all got tired of playing music, I sent the other two home while Lily at supper with her sister Rose.

https://i.imgur.com/Xbt3mtH.jpg
Daisy went to the Bistro to eat, then she talked with three people about the food.

https://i.imgur.com/xqkD0tT.jpg
L4U-Rn continues to learn the bot building skill, and when she reaches level 10, Daisy has a surprise for her.

https://i.imgur.com/0vSPS0Z.jpg
In the morning, Lily decided to start exercising.

https://i.imgur.com/AQi1Q89.jpg
I sent Brandon over to the cemetery to talk with some ghosts. It just happened to be Lily's great grandmother, who also happens to be Brandon's great grandmother as well. That means that Brandon and Lily are distant cousins. Oh well, it's Sims, and it's not like it's close relatives.

https://i.imgur.com/cAuPYdR.jpg
I have just been having Brandon work on skills that are higher up so he can complete his LTW of learning 3 skills to level 10.

https://i.imgur.com/d1KktFB.jpg
Daisy decided to play video games instead of doing anything else.

https://i.imgur.com/6Km7Oha.jpg
L4U-Rn then got her off the couch so they could have a pillow fight.

https://i.imgur.com/lxn45Vc.jpg
Lily bought two potent enlightenment elixirs. The first one gained her a few skill points in writing, and the second one taught her the first few levels of nectar making.

https://i.imgur.com/Q9zhhQ6.jpg
Daisy and Brandon started chatting with one another, but then Daisy gave him an autonomous flower kiss. I also caught Lily randomly using her mod given power to quickly grow plants on Daisy's cheese plants.

https://i.imgur.com/N7a7TfZ.jpg
Brandon wanted to show Lily that she was the woman for him, so he gave her a passionate kiss. Daisy's flower kiss didn't trigger any cheating scandal or anything so everything is fine with the world.

https://i.imgur.com/mid9k7v.jpg
And lastly, here is a family photo minus L4U-Rn.

L4U-Rn went back to painting smaller pictures until she paints 30 paintings. Then she can paint the larger ones because she'll be able to do so faster.

https://i.imgur.com/s0NxMTi.jpg
Then she chatted with Daisy and told her that she can make the best hotdogs Daisy will ever eat.

https://i.imgur.com/IKpNojM.jpg
Afterwards, Daisy practiced martial arts with the Plumbot.

https://i.imgur.com/rxF5M3d.jpg
Meanwhile, Lily was making an igloo off to the side of the house.

https://i.imgur.com/OUzsoHM.jpg
Daisy had four different wishes and skating with L4U-Rn was one of them.

https://i.imgur.com/YdwvdL6.jpg
I happened to see the Kemp family out and about. Giovanni Kemp is the second husband of Elizabeth (Sekemoto-Gaffney) Kemp, and Preston is their son. She has a daughter named Jaimee Gaffney with her first husband, Moses Gaffney.

https://i.imgur.com/aXgVK98.jpg
Daisy went to visit her daughter Ivy. She happens to live in the little starter trailer, but when I moved her and Holly out, they were given $200,000. Either Holly took it it all and left Ivy with little, or this trailer was all that was available for them at the time.

https://i.imgur.com/6b4vkm3.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/fhnKwzv.jpg
Inside, Daisy had a nice chat with Ivy, then she met her new grandchild, Eva Langerak.

https://i.imgur.com/reLXSyW.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/oTK9Tsu.jpg
Daisy then went to visit Holly and another grandbaby, Dominic Langerak. Afterwards, she had a nice chat with Holly. I found out Daisy has the best relationship with Holly than Ivy, so I think I need to have Daisy chat with Ivy again.

https://i.imgur.com/RBF119p.jpg
For some reason, I couldn't figure out where Rose lived. It turns out it was the old Bachelor home. I knew that Roses daughter, Sheri Langerak, had aged to child, so I wanted Daisy to start a relationship with her.

https://i.imgur.com/JAE8eoC.jpg
Afterwards, Daisy chatted with Rose.

https://i.imgur.com/Vx32k2l.jpg
L4U-Rn finally hit level 10 of the bot building skill. Now it was time for Daisy to give her a gift, but a few other things happened first.

https://i.imgur.com/C3IjuYE.jpg
First of all, Brandon turned on his aura of mind and body, then challenged Daisy to a game of chess.

https://i.imgur.com/UiAUOAE.jpg
Daisy had an elixir to throw at Brandon, but I forgot what it was for.

https://i.imgur.com/QSkOe8b.jpg
Lily wanted to help her husband gain level 10 in another skill, so she decided to throw a protest on unskilled Sims. Toaster was her first supporter, even though he hates Lily for breaking up his marriage to L4U-Rn.

https://i.imgur.com/VbX7tMM.jpg
Daisy had some compositions to learn.

https://i.imgur.com/zEHw9lV.jpg
Sheri had aged up to a teenager after Daisy left the previous day. I kind of did a throwback with her looks, as she got the same hairstyle Ariana had, and was dressed similar to Emily Jones second look she had. Sheri is honoring two of her ancestors.

https://i.imgur.com/Wp6CEgB.jpg
Daisy then congratulated L4U-Rn on reaching level 10 of the bot building skill.

https://i.imgur.com/XDk5oA6.jpg
Daisy shut L4U-Rn down, then she deactivated the cleaning chip to put in a sentience chip.

https://i.imgur.com/Q8I8DrC.jpg
L4U-Rn gave Daisy a hug, and this time, she actually meant it. She had pretty much everything it takes to be close to a human, besides actually becoming one. Then, L4U-Rn decided she'd drop her Plumbot spelling for the real spelling: Lauren.

https://i.imgur.com/mdvUjsK.jpg
Daisy went back to playing the keyboard, this time playing Peanut Butter and Jelly (The Entertainer by Scott Joplin)

https://i.imgur.com/7kk28bH.jpg
Afterwards, she went to a party hosted by one of her son-in-laws.

https://i.imgur.com/kGErQTI.jpg
Lastly, Lauren decided to paint another picture.

It was time for Brandon to eat again. His Hardly Hungry reward only made him have to eat around once a day to every other day. He was happy because salad is his favorite food.

https://i.imgur.com/9rvuVbk.jpg
Lily had a chat with Lauren (Thank God I changed her name, I was getting tired of typing L4U-Rn all the time).

https://i.imgur.com/8gOq5Oz.jpg
Brandon contemplating his next move during a chess game against himself.

https://i.imgur.com/LMCpwE7.jpg
I mentioned earlier that Daisy needed to slightly raise her relationship with Ivy. I used the summoning power the PlantSim mod gave Daisy to bring her to the house.

https://i.imgur.com/oOh2k1w.jpg
Lily had another exercise wish or opportunity so I had her do that.

https://i.imgur.com/RNXMx8T.jpg
Daisy went to the alchemy store to buy random elixirs but on her way home, she was stopped by a tourist who is a big fan of hers.

https://i.imgur.com/w5Q0PaT.jpg
One of the elixirs Daisy bought was a skill booster one, which she used on Brandon. However, it only increased one of his lower skills, one I'm not focusing on for his LTW.

https://i.imgur.com/75ip4Kj.jpg
Only Daisy and Lily have access to the garden, so I'm not sure who made this snowman. Regardless, Daisy destroyed it.

After a while, I sent the family to The Grind to dance and I got to say, I really like the club dance Sims do there.

https://i.imgur.com/iQRkObI.jpg
I was surprised by how many people actually came to dance. I should have added it to the world a lot sooner.

https://i.imgur.com/WRPW1zE.jpg
Lily paid for a round of drinks again, and I found out that it isn't one set price. The more people at the bar, the more you will have to spend for a round of drinks, just like in real life. However, it is always a small amount, even when it's crowded.

https://i.imgur.com/ViWu09l.jpg
Daisy spotted Elizabeth there. Her husband, Giovanni Kemp, was dancing with someone else (friends, not romantically) so Daisy convinced Elizabeth to give him a smooch. However, the smooch didn't happen because Giovanni was busy dancing and it cancelled the action.

Some of the Sims getting the drinks that Lily bought.

The following morning, Daisy talked with her sprite, Shonna.

https://i.imgur.com/VJiGeTt.jpg
The family had a gift giving party, but I had to zoom out to get most of the guests in the picture. It looks a little funny because of that.

https://i.imgur.com/pDZqKhq.jpg
Sheri Langerak and Pierre Langerak watch Daisy open a gift, while Ivy chats with Shawn Langerak.

***Part two will be posted tomorrow. Depending on whether I get the things I have to get done finished in enough time, I might end up playing again. If not, then it might be Wednesday or Friday before I can play again.

Goth Family, Days 272 through Day 276 Part 2

https://i.imgur.com/6db9VNV.jpg
When the party from the previous update ended, I had all the band members get together, minus Elizabeth. I keep forgetting she's actually part of the group. Lauren joined in with the bass on this jam session.

https://i.imgur.com/GhxmTAx.jpg
Daisy went outside to chat with a random guy in the backyard. He was a zombie so she cured him of that first.

https://i.imgur.com/f1rGIm7.jpg
John Langerak had died recently, so Lauren went to chat with him at the family cemetery.

https://i.imgur.com/TXaHaFd.jpg
Winter had ended recently and it was time to work in the garden again. Lily also decided to plant her and Brandon's baby.

https://i.imgur.com/sAR2CQz.jpg
Brandon is still working on maxing his logic skill for his LTW.

https://i.imgur.com/Vs56Rx8.jpg
Lily went to the alchemy store again to look for elixirs, just to see what was in stock.

https://i.imgur.com/pGOQL2G.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/6lunLnm.jpg
The whole family went to the park so the band could play. However, I realized Daisy needed water so I had to have her photosynthesize to raise it up just a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/z6CVjkl.jpg
After they got tired of playing, I had to send Lily to dance for three hours. She was really getting into it.

https://i.imgur.com/6YbpjsS.jpg
When she had finished, I had her play her guitar for a bit. She didn't make a lot, but a few Sims took her picture.

https://i.imgur.com/0T82KUI.jpg
When Lily left, I caught this Sim dancing on the bar.

Goth Family, Days 272 through Day 276 Part 3

https://i.imgur.com/60FE1SF.jpg
Lily and Daisy had an early morning chat before Daisy gave her some lessons on martial arts. On the first sparring session, Lily was wearing the beginners outfit, but by the time of this picture, she had leveled up a few times.

https://i.imgur.com/LXnA8yt.jpg
Is it just me, or does Brandon look like he's waiting for an invisible person to make their move first?

https://i.imgur.com/xgKe8PM.jpg
The band then had another jam session at the park for money. I don't think they made much, it seemed everyone wanted to ignore their playing.

https://i.imgur.com/hE6TY9y.jpg
Some of the townsfolk wanted to keep bugging my Sims while they were playing, so I just gave in and let them give autographs to their "fans".

https://i.imgur.com/QDGVTxE.jpg
I didn't know bands got opportunities to watch other bands in the theater, but apparently they do. While all the band members were there, this Sim passed away. I can't recall if she's a randomly generated Sim, or if she is a distant relative to my families.

https://i.imgur.com/LNJrr24.jpg
Lily got a wish to use the board breaker so I let her start off with the foam boards, then she moved to balsa wood.

https://i.imgur.com/GQuIzVW.jpg
Brandon loved seeing Lily being all tough so he had to give her a kiss, which ended up leading to the bedroom.

https://i.imgur.com/LUm8F34.jpg
Daisy then had a chat with Lily to close out the night, and these three updates.

***Next time I play, we should get the first baby of generation 7, who probably will be the only baby from Brandon and Lily. However, generation 7 already exists with Sheri, and the other two grandbabies of Daisy whom I showed in previous updates.

Goth Family, Days 277 through 280, Part 1

***Last set of updates for the month of March. Probably will be taking a break from the Sims for several days, but will still be posting replies and comments, as well as handing out likes and awesomes. Now onto the first part of the update.

https://i.imgur.com/jNXjy4X.jpg
The band, minus Elizabeth, got together to practice for another performance in the park. I haven't yet, but I believe I'll kick Elizabeth out and put Lauren in. The band will only last until all the members pass away, as I'll probably be giving Lily's descendants regular jobs.

https://i.imgur.com/Wdo9Co8.jpg
As you all know, I've been having Daisy and Lily practice martial arts. I hope to get them both to level 10 in the skill for no reason. I know Lily will get it because she's using life fruit to stay young, but Daisy is less than two weeks from becoming an elder.

https://i.imgur.com/nnFT1fl.jpg
At this point of playing, Brandon wasn't quite at the point where he maxed logic. Lauren played against him this time.

https://i.imgur.com/tqIHXdL.jpg
Later on during yesterday's play session, probably after Brandon hit level 10 in logic, I decided athletics will be his final skill for his lifetime wish.

https://i.imgur.com/2xY1c0U.jpg
Daisy went to the park and she started chatting with this random Sim. It turns out he is the university mascot, albeit not in costume, so they did the school cheer together.

https://i.imgur.com/ZAxq0Nv.jpg
Daisy has also been working on maxing out her piano skill so that she'll be able to play her best with the band.

https://i.imgur.com/IxFpo4z.jpg
The video game console has been getting a lot of use by everyone. This time, it was Brandon's turn to play.

https://i.imgur.com/gXmepT4.jpg
Carly Langerak had passed away not too long after Daisy's brother John (and Carly's husband) passed away. I don't remember if Carly and John had any children or not, but I will look later.

https://i.imgur.com/dAr6cBP.jpg
Brandon and Lily have been enjoying each other's company. Brandon still pulls his silly pranks, but Lily still loves him, even if she does yell at him most of the time he pranks her.

https://i.imgur.com/A5XvVMV.jpg
The band got together at the park to play. This time, I remembered to invite Elizabeth Kemp, but she only played with them a little bit before she left. The band got some nice tips, and Daisy got enough to get a promotion. Only she and Lily are at level 2 of the band career at this point.

https://i.imgur.com/tcnTfdZ.jpg
Like some of the previous times, townies want to keep interrupting the band members for autographs. By this point, I usually just have them be done playing and let the other band members continue playing.

https://i.imgur.com/IopH9xF.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/On3dgxH.jpg
I didn't want to send everyone home just yet, and decided to let them skate for awhile. Daisy is the best skater, and is able to do spins and skate backwards.

https://i.imgur.com/X94euR7.jpg
Lauren continues to learn the painting skill, but it doesn't do much for the family funds.

https://i.imgur.com/aIESHGj.jpg
A random picture of the Goth home. I had previously changed the siding, and remodeled the kitchen but not too much else.

Goth Family, Days 277 through 280, Part 2

***These were from the last time I played, I just didn't post them on the day I said I was.

Goth Family, Days 277 through 280, Part
To start out the day, Daisy decided to teach meditation techniques to Lily.

https://i.imgur.com/dvv90da.jpg
Meditation was enough for Lily to move on to the next level of martial arts.

https://i.imgur.com/SlKa1IN.jpg
Because of this, I decided to have her spar with Daisy. I believe Daisy is just a bit higher in the skill, but I'm not sure now.

https://i.imgur.com/JGK0Gm8.jpg
Brandon played video games online with other people this time. Usually, they just play on there own.

https://i.imgur.com/tfAFi87.jpg
Lauren started working on her first book. It was a nonfictional book about life as a Plumbot. (Or it could have been her second book about Dwight's career in sports after he quit being a super spy).

https://i.imgur.com/hFLkjN0.jpg
Brandon and Lily are as romantic as ever. Realistically, Daisy should probably be dead, and Lily should be close to an elder by now. Daisy's lifespan was doubled by a genie, while Lily eats life fruit all the time to stay young for Brandon.

https://i.imgur.com/1hPlmQi.jpg
Lily worked in the garden and took care of the Forbidden Fruit she'd planted in hopes of getting a child. Of course, I posted above what happened on that ordeal.

https://i.imgur.com/8AOUqFQ.jpg
Being such a nice day, I decided to have Daisy do some jogging around town. If she does it too much, she'll probably live longer in her elder stage.

https://i.imgur.com/3BHMRTk.jpg
She ended up by the two mansions where the Alto's and Landgraab's used to live. Of course, those names died out, but descendants still exist. Anyway, she found some seeds, and I cheated with Debug Enabler to see what they were. One was a Death Flower, which either Daisy or Lily has been wanting to grow.

https://i.imgur.com/IWqmb1o.jpg
Lastly, Daisy attended a party and saw her cousin Sheena there. They gave each other a hug, then had a bit of a chat.

Goth Family, Day 281

***The very last update I have to post until I return from my playing hiatus.

https://i.imgur.com/1337F8O.jpg
Lauren worked on another one of her books. With her not needing much, she can turn out a book every day. I imagine she'll be making the big bucks in a short time.

https://i.imgur.com/VWzsDSP.jpg
Daisy chatted with her sprite for a little bit after waking up.

https://i.imgur.com/kXPaNjw.jpg
Mom and daughter had a chat afterwards, just until the plants needed tending to.

https://i.imgur.com/uxGEN5z.jpg
Things didn't work out when Lily went to harvest the Forbidden Fruit, so the Watcher was going to have to intervene soon.

https://i.imgur.com/kIwMgiW.jpg
Brandon has been continuing to work out during the times the band isn't playing. Since he's on a long lifespan due to being a fairy, he may eventually quit the band and get a job that requires athletics.

https://i.imgur.com/MBq8byK.jpg
Brandon needed a shower after all that exercise, but even though he was sore, he loved "exercising" with Lily in the shower.

https://i.imgur.com/AvnwoMq.jpg
Forgot to get the picture when I gave the child to Lily and Brandon, but I used instant baby and it gave them a child based on their genetics and also makes them it's parents. The only thing I did was give him green skin and made it a fairy, as the child will not be a PlantSim. I have a lot of trouble coming up with names sometimes, so I just went with Jacob because Jacob Goth sounds decent.

https://i.imgur.com/6C2SdQG.jpg
Brandon got in trouble again for pranking his wife.

https://i.imgur.com/quezlqQ.jpg
Lily got invited to a party. A toddler needed a few needs met, so Lily took care of him for a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/b0X3ulV.jpg
To finish the day, Lily had a chat with two of her younger sisters, Rose and Ivy. I guess Holly wasn't invited.

***With the birth of Jacob Goth, we are now at generation 7 of the save. I felt like this would be a great time to take a Sim break, but I can't stay away from the forums so this break is only from playing, not from reading and commenting.
