The Appleton Family (A Sims 4 Realism Challenge) [Last Update]
Introduction: Hello! My name is Koteyka and this will be my sims story thread. :) So the thing is, my whole life i've been needing feedback on everything i do. Its a problem, really. If i write a...
Summer has arrived, a new season! Yay! This means that both Connors and Susans hair grew longer and messier. I could take them to the barbershop but that would've cost me about 100 more simoleons. That may not seem like much but for this family every simoleon counts. So i decided to keep them this way. https://a.radikal.ru/a31/1806/75/c73d046e9de6.png
Also they had to go and buy new outfits since it's summer time, pretty hot outside, and once again - that's one of the rules for the challenge... https://d.radikal.ru/d33/1806/63/5539c7df57a3.png
What else happened? Well, Susan got a bonsai tree as a gift from her co-workers for getting promoted. Another little detail to brighten up the kitchen! But the most important part of summer coming is that... https://b.radikal.ru/b30/1806/03/3c9b1dc974a2.png
Delaney is officially a toddler! (I decided that i'll have babies for one season and toddlers for the rest of the year because with this challenge you have to change your sims appearance every season. But you can't change a babies appearance! So turning them in a toddler and paying 700 simoleons for 7 outfits makes sense. I also was very tempted to change her hairstyle but figured it's not worth the cost. Besides, right now her hair is really growing on me and thanks to it i came up with her whole personality but thats a different story ANYWAY I'm gonna stop rambling now, sorry for that :p ) https://a.radikal.ru/a17/1806/86/51fdf02d1d24.png
"You can do it, honey! You can do it!" https://b.radikal.ru/b29/1806/40/96d4d31906b8.png
"Thats my girl!" https://d.radikal.ru/d16/1807/4e/0d6ea7d7567b.png
Yep, sweet little Delaney started walking and talking. She's turned out to be a very active and wild toddler, but calm at the same time. You'd think that doesn't make sense but it actually does. She's got a bit of Susans hyper energy and a bit of Connors "go with the flow" thing. She matched them perfectly. https://d.radikal.ru/d40/1806/c5/254fbd11abe3.png
Very soon Delaney grew out of her crib so Susan successfully (all thanks to that yellow dice i rolled which gave me an odd number!) sold it. Since they didn't have money for Delany's room, she now alway slept in their bed. (or next to the bed since thats not an option for toddlers... I'm a horrible person, i know.) https://a.radikal.ru/a37/1806/3c/5b0a96463372.png
Just like his father, Connor was trying to be the best father ever. He'd read Delaney books, https://c.radikal.ru/c01/1806/88/827539021454.png
he'd teach her how to garden. https://b.radikal.ru/b41/1806/23/6de7a0d74d59.png
Delaney got very into gardening you know. But when Connor asked her: "do you wanna be a gardener like your daddy?" she shrugged and replied in her own language something that stands for "i don't know yet". https://c.radikal.ru/c18/1806/db/d412766d3a3e.png
Also, Connor would never let her play in the new sprinkler he got from work. https://a.radikal.ru/a18/1806/25/3015a4bac459.png
"Oh, come on, honey! Its fun!" https://c.radikal.ru/c05/1806/fa/64567ccba467.png
"Well, only you say so..." "See? Fun!" "Maybe, but I'm still not admitting it... no, stop splashing, Delaney! This was a new shirt!.. Haha, i'm gonna get you now!" https://d.radikal.ru/d26/1806/ec/081c8af66d54.png
One day Bjorn invited them to come over for dinner. "I've got someone your little Delaney would like to meet!" he said with a smile. https://d.radikal.ru/d38/1806/b5/79d0f1999264.png
So they agreed to meet after work. Today it was Susans turn, so Connor was looking after Delaney and gardening on their patch. Delaney helped a bit... https://d.radikal.ru/d25/1806/06/8d0cfd78a185.png
...But it was so much more fun to play in the sprinkler, so she decided to do that instead! https://d.radikal.ru/d11/1806/17/3802e7431ed2.png
Also it was lots of fun to eat fresh vegetables while daddy harvests them... https://a.radikal.ru/a27/1806/9f/343aa6d32d78.png
Mommy came home! She's going to finish up gardening while daddy takes a short break. https://d.radikal.ru/d38/1806/9f/a36655f535aa.png
The patch is now absolutely huge! https://b.radikal.ru/b25/1806/de/9fb72a9b492b.png
Evening was close, so they all went across the street, through the park, all the way down the hill to get to the Bjergsen's house. https://b.radikal.ru/b06/1806/f0/5138d4abda3a.png
Clara Bjergsen took Delaney to meet the Bjergsen twins - Taylor and Tyler. Delaney was shocked by their room - and no wonder! She never even thought it's possible to have a room all for your own as a kid. She knew that her own room was "under construction", but she was pretty sure it would stay that way till she becomes as big as mommy and daddy and won't fit on their bed anymore. https://d.radikal.ru/d08/1806/89/0ce6af811500.png
The tots started interacting with each other in their baby language... i figured i'd translate what do they talk about. "Hi! I'm Taylor!" https://a.radikal.ru/a15/1806/57/b9d318a8174c.png
"Who's this?" "Oh that's my puppy, Diamond." "No, that's my puppy, Diamond!" "My puppy!" "My puppy!" https://d.radikal.ru/d04/1806/f4/f64b8714c98d.png
"Gee, i like him." Delaney giggled. "I want a puppy too!" https://d.radikal.ru/d22/1806/3d/9f166cf26367.png
"We also have a cat, Crystal." said Tyler happily. "But she won't ever play. She's boring. Who do you wanna be when you grow up? I wanna be a firefighter. Taylor will be on my firefighter team too!" Delaney thought for a minute. Suddenly, she remembered a book daddy read her about Indians. They rode horses and lived in sort-of-tents. https://b.radikal.ru/b28/1806/79/478058499905.png
"I'm gonna be an Indian." she replied proudly. https://a.radikal.ru/a21/1806/86/0820aa55d858.png
"Who's going to be in your tribe? You can't be an Indian without a tribe!" laughed Taylor. https://a.radikal.ru/a42/1806/e0/700f3de518c0.png
"Why not?" Delaney became very sad. https://a.radikal.ru/a39/1806/02/48f5b97731ba.png
"Because thats not how it works. And thats also why you won't be an Indian. You will be a firefighter - just like us!" said Tyler with a commanding voice. "This is our firefighter house," he pointed at his bed, "it has plenty of room for the three of us." https://a.radikal.ru/a08/1806/62/de31298c778b.png
"But i don't wanna be a firefighter, i wanna be an Indian!" https://c.radikal.ru/c01/1806/25/a989f7eac90e.png
"Why can't you be Indians with me? We could be a tribe together!" https://d.radikal.ru/d41/1806/ab/bbdce513d35b.png
"Because thats stupid! You don't even have a house for Indians! How can you have a tribe when you don't have a house?" "I don't know!" https://d.radikal.ru/d28/1806/59/d6190fe24de2.png
So they all started shouting and screaming and Delaney got very sad from all of this nonsense. https://b.radikal.ru/b21/1806/ec/2e016b4f5cb4.png
She ran away from Taylor and Tyler in search for her mommy and daddy. (i have no idea why she suddenly changed into her hot weather outfit) https://a.radikal.ru/a08/1806/a4/8b3c9a0613b7.png
"Whats wrong, sweetheart?" Delaney didn't say what was wrong. She was pretty sure the whole thing was stupid. But it still made her sad. https://d.radikal.ru/d29/1806/cc/80a1021c4141.png
"I think we better get heading home." said Susan. "it's getting pretty late. Thanks for the delicious dinner!" https://a.radikal.ru/a16/1806/9a/0b3d864f8c03.png
"Also, you've got a wonderful cat... Honey? I think we ought to get a cat." "Yes yes yes!" squealed Delaney in excitement. She was pretty sure she wanted a cat. Also she was pretty sure she doesn't want to be friends with any firefighters. Ever. https://a.radikal.ru/a23/1806/5b/b8dd3be3fcff.png
