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.

Goth Family Day 311

Note: These are from a few weeks ago, before I got busy and wasn't able to post. I have not been able to play since then.

https://i.imgur.com/0g2uJUU.jpg
At some point in the morning, Brandon ran outside to pull a fairy prank on this Sim.

https://i.imgur.com/seI7xEM.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/DrkzUOS.jpg
A bit later in the day, it was time for Jacob to age up to young adult. However, his birthday cake caught fire and I had to do it over.

https://i.imgur.com/KKRh9Bj.jpg
A picture of Jacob as a young adult.

https://i.imgur.com/RA3iPQn.jpg
Lily worked in the garden to try and clear out more of the plants. The following day, I ended up getting completely rid of the garden and its fence.

https://i.imgur.com/kGIFLGH.jpg
Christa and Jacob played chess together for something to do.

https://i.imgur.com/dapW9BE.jpg
Lily wanted to chat with Elizabeth, so I used the summoning power to bring her to the house.

https://i.imgur.com/K1RviPc.jpg
I sent the band to the theater so they could try to earn some tips. It has been a while since I played this, so I don't know how much they made.

https://i.imgur.com/byaKaU8.jpg
To end this update, I sent the family to the Bistro for supper.

***There is one more day to post before the wedding of Jacob and Christa. I still have to replay the wedding as close as possible to the original, but as I said before, the pictures will mostly be from the first play of the wedding.

@ZhakiraP He technically is, but he doesn't have the PlantSim occult status. I made him basically just have green skin and hair so he's actually only fairy.

Brandon and Lily shared a morning kiss.

https://i.imgur.com/e7NeF13.jpg
Later on, Brandon decided to chat with Christa.

Lily decided to practice the keyboard some more.

https://i.imgur.com/ypxQDiy.jpg
When Jacob got up, he decided to eat breakfast.

A few of the family members played music together for tips.

https://i.imgur.com/whkKaYA.jpg
Jacob also had a chat with his Grandma Carrie.

https://i.imgur.com/U1H468g.jpg
He also got an autography from his Aunt Ivy.

https://i.imgur.com/0LTwFmR.jpg
Then he sparred with a relative of his. I think she's Rose's daughter, so if that is the case, she'd be Jacob's cousin.

https://i.imgur.com/G8z2kmn.jpg
Lastly, for this update, Brandon and Lily woohooed before bed.

***This brings us up to the marriage of Jacob and Christa. I have yet to replay it, but I may do so here in an hour or two before going to the county fair, or it might wait until tomorrow. I'll just have to see how I feel, but I need to get out of my computer chair for a bit.

Goth Family Day 313

https://i.imgur.com/8pjsMxZ.jpg
The day of Jacob and Christa's wedding finally came. One of the family members had put everything together for it. Lily finished getting rid of the garden a few days prior, and now many white chairs and the wedding arch were set up in it's place. That morning, the four members of the household got together to jam while waiting for the wedding guests to arrive.

https://i.imgur.com/tJMREga.jpg
Soon after, the guests started to arrive. In no particular order, some of the invited guests include Sheila Naquin, Elizabeth Sorenson, Kizzie Langerak, and Ivy Goth.

https://i.imgur.com/1Xb4r4E.jpg
Christa was the first to put a wedding ring on Jacob's finger.

https://i.imgur.com/Vhxqt34.jpg
Then Jacob put a wedding ring on Christa's finger.

https://i.imgur.com/Syx9u3U.jpg
Afterwards, they shared their first kiss as husband and wife.

https://i.imgur.com/3lLhQhe.jpg
You can see the love they have for each other in this picture. I like the way that Christa is smiling at Jacob.

https://i.imgur.com/26maUV3.jpg
One of the guests wanted to take a picture of Christa, so this is what she did. I wanted a screenshot of her so I positioned the camera in between her and the photographer so I could get this.

https://i.imgur.com/JGv7q5f.jpg
For the after party, Brandon became a DJ. I cheated his DJ skill to max so he'd have all the options available to him.

https://i.imgur.com/2cj8u3i.jpg
Another random picture, this time with a bit of dancing involved. Some of the guests had requests that Brandon tried to fulfill.

https://i.imgur.com/ofY0MUN.jpg
When all the guests had left, Jacob and Christa headed to the bedroom. Normally, I'd give them a day or two to try for a baby, but I'm trying to get generation 8 to be born so we can get closer to moving the family to Moonlight Falls.

https://i.imgur.com/GcwvgXw.jpg
Before going to bed that night, they were both hungry so I sent them to eat some leftover birthday cake.

****I replayed the day, but most of the pictures shown here are before the game crashed without saving from the first time I played it. In the replay, everything went pretty similar to what is shown here so I only added the woohoo picture and eating cake from that. Everything else is the original. I'm kind of waiting to see what storms in the area are doing before I decide to play, but I plan on doing some feedback a bit later in the day.

Goth Family, Day 314 - Day 316 Part 1

https://i.imgur.com/MGy86z7.jpg
Christa woke up and soon went to exercise.

https://i.imgur.com/j0HfWVy.jpg
However, she soon had to run to the bathroom to throw up.

https://i.imgur.com/11xLS3H.jpg
Meanwhile, Jacob decided to paint a painting in his underwear.

https://i.imgur.com/xsOvfyD.jpg
Christa's exercising paid off as she finished an opportunity. She had to report in at the stadium for a monetary prize.

https://i.imgur.com/tOIev0C.jpg
Meanwhile, back at the house, Brandon checked the mail. The family had several gifts sent to them that I ended up selling.

https://i.imgur.com/1t5ytLP.jpg
Lily decided to read a book since I didn't have her doing anything else. Most of the time, that's what my Sims end up doing if I don't control them.

https://i.imgur.com/Uwqr2zV.jpg
Jacob has been learning to cook, so he made one of the meals for the family.

https://i.imgur.com/o5hT8iV.jpg
Only he and Christa needed to eat however. Brandon has the Hardly Hungry reward while Lily, being a PlantSim, doesn't have to eat. Sometimes, I do have her eat just so all the family can be together at the table.

https://i.imgur.com/o2LqPDx.jpg
Speaking of Brandon and Lily, I didn't know what to do with them at the time so I just had them play chess together.

https://i.imgur.com/rDUdLaM.jpg
I wanted to do something with the family outside, but it was raining. I checked who had the most Lifetime points, and ended up getting the thing that changes the weather. I had Lily change it to sunny so I could do what I planned.

https://i.imgur.com/FEmr7P4.jpg
With her already being pregnant, Christa knew she was safe so her and Jacob woohooed in the shower.

https://i.imgur.com/oRYM20u.jpg
Then I sent everyone to the theater to jam out. Joesph (yes, that's how the game spelled it) Langerak/Goth? was one of the bigger tippers.

https://i.imgur.com/OQhuZ5E.jpg
Jacob and Christa decided to go home when she threw up, so Brandon and Lily went on a date. They watched a movie together before going to eat, then home.

https://i.imgur.com/m1VRJUJ.jpg
However, Christa soon started to feel better so she and Jacob decided to go out. That is when the game revealed to her that she was in fact pregnant with her and Jacob's first, and probably only, child.

https://i.imgur.com/zbfyTSO.jpg
Once the game finished that, Christa finally went in to get her food and she and Jacob ate supper.

Goth Family, Day 314 - Day 316 Part 2

https://i.imgur.com/VELLLQ3.jpg
After eating supper, Christa stopped to look at her wedding ring with a dreamy expression on her face.

https://i.imgur.com/FeQTs02.jpg
Then, Christa revealed to Jacob that she was pregnant.

https://i.imgur.com/fDTaDTC.jpg
After that, Jacob felt her stomach.

https://i.imgur.com/dVYRX9T.jpg
That morning, it was Christa's turn to talk about the garbage. If you missed it from my last update, Jacob talked about garbage with her at the table.

https://i.imgur.com/BbMXJAB.jpg
Brandon and Lily hadn't really had woohoo for a bit, so I gave in and let them do so.

https://i.imgur.com/8RH0S6O.jpg
Yet again, Jacob talked about trash with Christa while they watched TV. I finally checked the trash and saw it was full.

https://i.imgur.com/YtnbAOe.jpg
I then decided to have a dance party outside with Brandon DJing again.

https://i.imgur.com/U8ASuGF.jpg
Lily chatted with one of her relatives, I forgot what his name was though.

https://i.imgur.com/Iju6NYq.jpg
Meanwhile, Jacob chatted with his cousin Sheri.

Aerial picture of everyone having a good time.

Then, Ivy Goth started booing Carrie Naquin while Elizabeth Sorenson snapped a photo on her smartphone.

https://i.imgur.com/IqvzOkk.jpg
This Sim, who I think might be Elizabeth's husband, asked Jacob for an autograph.

https://i.imgur.com/nG4QYdN.jpg
Lily bought a drink for her and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was given immortality by me so she will stick around for a long time. I'll move her to each town as well as my family so that we have her around. I eventually want someone to marry her into the family, but it might not be for a bit.

https://i.imgur.com/IYdEnLD.jpg
When Brandon got tired of DJing, Lily brought out her keyboard to play while the guests left.

https://i.imgur.com/YbuhTOJ.jpg
Lastly, the family sat down to eat supper, something that one of the guests had brought but I didn't realize they had. I put all the guest food in the fridge for the family to eat. I might invite a few Sims over one day and have them eat with the family to get rid of some of it.

***Going to save the next few pictures for later. I got tired halfway through the following day, so I ended up saving and quitting. I'll play out the rest of the day before posting that update.

Goth Family, Day 316 and Day 317
Birth of Generation 8

https://i.imgur.com/bw8gpMD.jpg
The following day, Jacob and Christa ate pancakes together. Christa also chatted with Jacob about the fact she wants to be a famous composer. However, Jacob wants her to wait until the baby is old enough to go to school.

https://i.imgur.com/GaTeRfp.jpg
Once everyone that needed to eat had finished, Lily whisked everyone away to the theater to perform out front again. They did not make much in tips and I'm starting to think maybe I'll just send Lily out to make her tips more than I do the whole band.

https://i.imgur.com/B5JcMTK.jpg
When the band got really into it, Christa went into labor and everyone started to freak out, as they always do. Jacob ended up taking her to the hospital.

https://i.imgur.com/0KpiO5Y.jpg
Introducing generation 8, this is Oliver Goth. He is a fairy like his father, but inherited his mother's skin tone and also her hair color, so it looks like green skin and hair will leave the family soon.

https://i.imgur.com/nAFfloa.jpg
When Christa got Oliver home, then she joined the rest of the family to jam most of the night away.

https://i.imgur.com/wGBpKGW.jpg
The following morning, Christa took care of Oliver.

https://i.imgur.com/jW7oQD9.jpg
Shortly after, Jacob came in to take care of him.

https://i.imgur.com/C5zXfmD.jpg
For a while, Brandon and Lily had a non-romantic chat.

https://i.imgur.com/LpEu5rC.jpg
When the family all were getting hungry, I pulled out some leftovers that hadn't been in the fridge but a day. However, as soon as everyone sat down, the food went bad and they wouldn't eat. I eventually got mad and just cheated everyone's hunger meter up except for Christa. I let her eat a few life fruits.

https://i.imgur.com/ayWf4JL.jpg
Lily was getting close to maxing out the piano skill, so I had her do that for several hours.

https://i.imgur.com/zOQK2xi.jpg
Then Brandon chatted with Christa. I saw that they had a lower relationship so I wanted to bring that up.

https://i.imgur.com/yqWObal.jpg
Christa had a wish to jog, I'm guessing to lose her nonexistent baby weight.

https://i.imgur.com/nmR9DTS.jpg
Right after, I sent her to the spa. I meant to do this when she was still pregnant, but I forgot to do it.

https://i.imgur.com/nFyxVcW.jpg
For a little bit, Brandon went to Joesph Langerak's for a little chat. I was trying to find someone he didn't know for an opportunity, but forgot these two do know each other.

https://i.imgur.com/GrJjrZa.jpg
Back at home, he decided to dance to Lily's music. Lily finally reached level 10 of the piano, making her at the halfway point to maxing all instruments.

https://i.imgur.com/Q54M2IN.jpg
Before going to bed at the end of the 317th day of this save, Lily got started on learning the drums. She already had a level 3, either from playing with the xylophone as a toddler, or she might have played them as a young adult a while back. I just can't remember after this many days.

***At this point, Brandon is around 20 or so days from becoming an adult. Lily has eaten many life fruits so she can live as long as Brandon. They are both around the same days away from being adults. Meanwhile, Jacob has over 100 days until he becomes a adult, and Christa has roughly 16 days. However, she probably will eat some life fruit too, just so she can stick around with Jacob. As for Oliver, he will age to a toddler the next time I play. I am waiting until he grows up, has generation 9, and generation 9 grows up to have generation 10 before I move the family to Moonlight Falls. I am curious about which of the current members will still be around when I do the move. I'm guessing Oliver definitely will be, as he will have a fairy lifespan. Jacob and Christa have probably a 50-50 chance, while Brandon and Lily have a very small chance of making it there.

Goth Family Day 318

https://i.imgur.com/m8wTM09.jpg
On the morning of the 318th day, Christa woke up to take care of Oliver.

https://i.imgur.com/0wk1Dlg.jpg
Not long after that, Christa joined Jacob in the shower.

https://i.imgur.com/3wWjJbc.jpg
After coming out of the shower, Jacob went down to the kitchen to play the electric guitar.

https://i.imgur.com/JuJGv78.jpg
Then it was time for Oliver to age to toddler. I thought that Christa would be the one to take him to the cake, but it was Lily instead.

https://i.imgur.com/Hh6e1YI.jpg
Here is one picture of Oliver as a toddler. It might be easier to see him later on if I get a better picture.

https://i.imgur.com/fn4X9bx.jpg
I had invited some family members to the party, but they didn't really show up until Oliver was already aged up. However, Christa's father showed up in time to eat some cake. His name is James Wolff but he actually isn't descended from Thornton or Morgana. Thornton got with Tamara Donner after Tamara gave birth and the game gave the child Thornton's last name when the father of that baby was actually Xander Clavell. I didn't ever catch it in time, so through the following weeks, descendants leading up to James' birth were born.

https://i.imgur.com/cpOjD6q.jpg
Then, Holly Langerak, Lily's sister, asked Christa for an autograph.

https://i.imgur.com/hWH2gEB.jpg
After that, Christa chatted with her father, whom the game said she didn't even know. It could be that James and Mercedes woohooed, but they weren't married. It could also be that they were married, but James just never chatted with his daughter much.

https://i.imgur.com/sMPng9D.jpg
What is even stranger is that Christa had to give her mother a Friendly Introduction even though they do know each other. However, they had had a neutral relationship bar, meaning it was like Christa just met her mother even though they had lived together. Mercedes is a direct descendant of Mortimer Goth, as is Jacob because of his Grandpa Harlan Goth.

https://i.imgur.com/TFZ78mP.jpg
Jacob started out teaching Oliver how to walk.

https://i.imgur.com/f842jxm.jpg
Christa's sister, Belinda Goth, showed up towards the end of the party. I only gave her some makeup and changed her hair, but this is her as a teenager. She was born sometime after Christa, so it makes sense they didn't really know each other. I intend to build their sisterly relationship.

https://i.imgur.com/bphceGv.jpg
Three of the five household members watched the cooking channel together. They've all got some skill in cooking already, but as you can see, Lily is the closest to gaining another skill point.

https://i.imgur.com/KN17Isd.jpg
Learning how to walk wasn't finished yet, but Oliver needed to use the toilet so I went ahead and had Christa get started on it.

https://i.imgur.com/P0O9VSq.jpg
Oliver got some toys to play with, I needed to spend some money anyway. Christa read a book but was just getting up to clean the potty when I took this picture.

Goth Family: Day 319

https://i.imgur.com/CfppTWM.jpg
First thing in the morning, Brandon gave Lily a good morning kiss. Lily was thinking about watching a movie, due to a wish she has to do so.

https://i.imgur.com/KakZUKW.jpg
Brandon had a wish to level up in Charisma, so he spent a lot of the early morning chatting with his wife.

https://i.imgur.com/dOmscZg.jpg
I had some leftover food in the fridge that needed to be used, so that is what Jacob and Christa ate for breakfast.

https://i.imgur.com/Oj5of92.jpg
Brandon already has maxed the martial arts skill, but he has not been able to break a space rock yet. I started him out with the more sturdier wood and will soon move him to the next. (Stone? I can't remember the order.)

https://i.imgur.com/F261z5R.jpg
Then Jacob continued with teaching Oliver how to walk. Christa had already started it, and Jacob finished it off. However, the first time he did, there was a power outage in my county, causing me to lose that day. This is why I had to have Jacob do it again here. Luckily, I was able to save with no power outage this time. :lol:

https://i.imgur.com/PbsNQcQ.jpg
Christa worked out in the late morning hours. I believe she had a wish to workout until she was fatigued, which she did do. I just forgot if it happened today, or the following day.

https://i.imgur.com/GM71Gyh.jpg
I then had Lily go for a walk to the theater so she could try to raise some more tips.

https://i.imgur.com/mvpK0Kh.jpg
Since drums on their own sound kind of funny in the case of the game, I sent Jacob over to accompany her on guitar. No matter how long they stayed, no one ended up tipping either one of them.

https://i.imgur.com/6VbRwmh.jpg
However, Landon Langerak and Karina Wolff danced together to the music. If you remember Evan Langerak, Daisy's uncle, Landon is his grandson. Karina must have slipped through the cracks because I have no idea who she is. I really think she is a random game generated townie who married a Wolff. I will investigate so I can see if she needs to be added to the family tree or not.

https://i.imgur.com/m2HbGIY.jpg
After a bit, Jacob got kicked off the guitar because a distant relative of his wanted his autograph, which Jacob gave to him.

https://i.imgur.com/9fAX8yR.jpg
Then, Jacob went over to chat with his distant relative, Landon Langerak. When I look into all the currently living Sims, there are a ton of Langerak's, mostly due to Dwight and Melanie having triplets, and then a fourth child.

https://i.imgur.com/Ehq53rZ.jpg
After talking to Landon, Jacob then chatted with his grandmother, Carrie. She's remarried so I don't remember what her current last name is but I believe it probably is either Langerak or Goth, seeing as they dominate the town now.

https://i.imgur.com/gFmmBPZ.jpg
This was a little bit awkward. Karina and the guy pictured here I believe are in a relationship. However, he is upset about the death of someone, probably his last wife. However, Karina seems to either be calling him a baby, or is saying that he had a baby with someone other than her. Really not sure what she's getting at, to be honest.

https://i.imgur.com/hrHDzBS.jpg
Afterwards, everyone got together at the Bistro to eat, then the band played. I think it was Lily who got all the tips, but it was only like $40 when she needs over $1,000 for her next promotion.

https://i.imgur.com/l1z9kjT.jpg
Speaking of, this was the only person who tipped any member of the band the whole night.

***That closes out Day 319. I will post Day 320 probably in the next half hour, and that will be the last update I have for right now.
