15th Boolprop Birthday Challenge

This story is part of a challenge legacy I have been doing over on Boolprop.  Eventually, I'll link all the stories in one place but for now, since I have to post this story by the end of September to receive the Summer Challenge flair, I'm testing this out.

This family started out with the Close Encounters Academy, for 3 generations.  The next three generations completed the Trailer Park Challenge (no link yet).  So this is generation seven, where the heir has to complete either 25, 50, 75 or 100 of a particular task.  

The heir for this generation is Vienna, who will be attempting to make 100 bottles of nectar while having a job and raising a family.  

So, onto the story.

  • CHAPTER ONE:

    The first thing Vienna did upon moving to Chestnut Ridge was to buy a nectar making machine, some planters for growing ingredients inside, and some seeds.  She planted most of the seeds but had enough of the grapes left over to start her nectar collection.

    The welcome party consisted of three distant cousins and Don Gooseman.  It was great that Don showed up because now Vienna would be able to talk to him about nectar making without having to try and track him down.

    Vienna's sister Paris, who is still a teen, moved in with Vienna so that she could get started on her aspiration of horse riding.  Meet Dasher, their new horse, who has a unique sense of style. 

    For Vienna to have a family, she had to start dating.  This is Izaiah, who Vienna was very much into.

    Vienna and Paris have a very large extended family, so wherever they go, they are usually mobbed by family members.  There is at least four in this picture!

    It took a few days but eventually Izaiah moved in.  He is a Romantic and Active Vegetarian, who got a job in as an Athlete.  

    Apart from work and spending time with her boyfriend, this is all Vienna did.  

    It took about 6 days for Vienna to reach the first milestone, after having to wait a day or two for the ingredients to grow.  So, 25 down, 75 to go!

    And since the first 25 were done, Vienna took the opportunity to propose to Izaiah (this was autonomous!).  

     

  • CHAPTER TWO:

    Despite having risky woohoo for a week, nothing happened until after the proposal!   First nooboo incoming!  Izaiah doesn't look thrilled but then again, no sims in my saves do 😒.

    Paris finally aged into a YA, with the Animal Enthusiast, Dance Machine, Horse Lover and Ambitious traits.  

    She immediately set about finding a boyfriend.  The first date with Pete went okay but Pete obviously thought it was fantastic because he wanted to move in a day later!  He got a job as a Musician.

    A heavily pregnant Vienna got married to Izaiah, inviting close family members to watch the backyard wedding.

    And the next day, Vienna and Izaiah welcomed their first child, daughter Lily.

  • CHAPTER THREE:

     

    Lily aged up into a cautious infant with a mixture of her parents colouring.

    Vienna's job enables her to work from home so she spent a few days working on Lily's milestones, especially since they wanted a second child not too far apart in age.

    Vienna's grandma, Minnesota, came over with some of the family to visit the new little one, which was good because two days later, Minnesota passed away.

    Next nooboo incoming!

    Paris, who has been doing a lot of horse riding events and therefor doesn't get in many pics, finally proposed to Pete and they eloped on the spot.

    Lily has been steadily progressing through her milestones.  With four adults in the house, someone is always on hand to help her.

    And Vienna has reached 50 bottles!  Halfway there!

    I'm not sure what this look was for but Lily loves her dad, she really does.

    And then it was time for Lily to age up into a Silly toddler.  And unless the next baby has blonde hair, I think Lily will be the heir because the last three generations have all had brown hair so it's time for a change 😄

  • CHAPTER FOUR:

    Lily is a very cute toddler and very social.

    She was soon joined by little sister Daisy,  a wiggly infant who somehow had black hair.  It's been my experience that children only get their parents' hair colour, yet Daisy's colour goes back to her grandfather, not her parents.

    Family life continued on, and Daisy had no shortage of people to help or entertain her.

    Paris finally became pregnant.  She had entered 11 events at this point, mostly getting gold, and needed some time to work on getting Dasher's skills to the levels needed for all the expert and master events.

    Lily liked having a little sister and was often found nearby.

  • CHAPTER FIVE:

     

    Winterfest came around and they had a quiet family holiday.

    Daisy aged up into a clingy toddler, which should be fun, but at least there's four adults around that she can follow.

    Lily always likes eating on this ottoman in the hallway and so Daisy started doing the same.

    Paris gave birth to Ashton, who is all his father's colouring.  Ashton aged up into a wiggly infant.

    No reason for this other than it's cute.

    Liliy aged up into an active child, with the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

     

  • CHAPTER SIX:

     

    Lily is a very active child who also seems to love the outdoors despite not having that trait.

    Pete absolutely adores his son.

    Dance party while the two fathers work on their skills.

    Cousins Mackenzie came over to visit.  She was very sad but that didn't deter Lily.  I swear she has the social trait not the active one.

    Ireland came over to meet her only three grandchildren so far (seriously, MCCC is not helping her other four children to get married or have children at all!).

    Ashton aged up into a cute but fussy toddler.  He and his father Pete very quickly gained the permissive relationship dynamic 😆

    And while Paris got back into doing competitions on Dasher, Vienna finally managed to get the next 25 bottles done.  She has reached 75!!!  Can she do 25 more in five more RL days??

     

  • CHAPTER SEVEN:

    Daisy aged up into a child, gaining the perfectionist trait and the Creative Genius aspiration.

    Skilling went on for the three children, including the building of a treehouse.

    Vienna and her family.

    Stop riding the bike in the house!!

    Everyone is working to get Dasher's temperament skill up but it's hard going.

    Daisy gets started on her second aspiration.

     

  • CHAPTER EIGHT:

     

    The children all get along well together, especially Lily and Daisy.

    First time I've ever given a sim a time out.  Daisy got caught making a mess three times in less than two days, so time out it was.

    Ashton aged into a child, gaining the Squeamish trait and the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

    All three kids are the same age at the moment, with a week still until Lily ages into a teen.

    And Vienna has done it!!  100 bottles of nectar!  She has two children and has reached level 9 in the Gardening career.  There were a total of 10 grape, 10 strawberry, 5 potato, 5 apple, 5 prairie grass, 30 energy, 15 berry and 20 fruit nectar bottles.  

    I will get back to this and finish off the generation but for now, I have to swap to a different challenge and get that generation done!
