Clubhouse for Life

Seemingly overnight, a new community lot popped up right next to the Blue's.

Feeling the need to visit it often before hitting their adult years, the family spent the weekends enjoying the sun.

While Ryan took advantage of a space to work on his abs, Luke enjoyed the chess table.

By the way, blue puffy vests are super in.

There was even a spot for Fawn to express her creativity.

While Eden got her grilling on.

*Watching an intense game of chess*

Not sure if Ryan enjoyed Eden's cooking though...

Ah, family bonding time.

Whether they were at the clubhouse or at home, the triplets spent a lot of time together. 

Though, Luke may have stumbled across a potential love interest. 

With the kids off doing their own things, Wade finally had time to peruse his lifetime goal of becoming a Renaissance Sim.

---------------------

I decided to work on the clubhouse challenge before it was too late. It seemed fairly easy.

Here are the rules for that:

BoolProp Clubhouse (10 Points) 
You must build a community lot to be the Boolprop Clubhouse and every sim from the three pregnancies every generation must visit this lot 5 times during their lifetime. The lot must have an army of flamingos outside and any llama deco you can find.

While building the clubhouse I discovered that most of the llama decor was not currently unlocked for me. As it becomes unlocked, I'll add more decor to the park.Currently, you will see some lovely llama shrubbery and of course a flock of pink flamingos scattered around. Since there was not specifications on what the clubhouse had to look like, I decided to go with an outdoor one. So far, the family has visited it 3 times. I want to get the 5 times in before Eden becomes a young adult (really soon) since she may be moving out since the heir poll is currently not in her favor.

I think I may be thinking of TS3, but I was surprised that I couldn't just have the family wander over to the park since you can literally see if from their backyard. I have to "travel" every time I want them to visit.

Anyway, I hope to have the heir(ess) announced in the next chapter.

As of right now voting is still up: You can vote here!

A Little Fire and a Lot of Birthdays

The Blue's experienced their first house fire. Sadly, it took 2 days before they could replace everything. Somehow Luke's bed burned up as well, even though no damage was caused to the connecting wall. *Magic*

The cute kiddos all got along pretty well for living in such tight quarters.

*Like father, like son*

Wade celebrated his birthday uneventfully, alone. While on the other hand, Lily had a huge bash for hers.

Lily invited literally everyone she knew.

Though, only one of her children actually witnessed the blowing out of the candles.

The party was a silver medal success.

The next night, the family had a lower key birthday party for Eden.

She transformed into a lovely, goofball, teenager.

The family still needed to invest in a few more dining chairs.

...and definitely a second shower.BO was still an issue.

Though, all 4 kids were really great at doing their homework. 

It looked like Eden was going to have to go more for dry humor to fulfill her joke star dream.

The family often dined lavishly on grilled cheese and froot loops.

Finally, it was time for the triplets to celebrate their birthdays.

Luke went first, and blew out the candles, while his very enthusiastic father looked on.

Fawn went second. One excited guest blew a horn he brought from home, while another yawned dramatically.

Last, but not least, Ryan took his turn. By this point, most of the guests were busy eating.

Even with this horrifying glitch, the party was a gold medal success.

Sadly, the athetletic Ryan developed a bit of gut right off the bat.

He immediately ran (took a cab) to the gym so he could get rid of his midsection.

Luke, also followed suit.

Running while watching the cooking channel. 2 skills at once. Multi tasking master.

Ryan was quickly seeing results. Especially since he would use any opportunity for a little ab work.

Eden, the goofball, was finally caught smiling.

While, Lily kept working on her career.

Though, with all her time spent behind the computer doing intelligence research, she also noticed a bit of widening around the mid-section. Taking a few jogs would take care of that, of course.

The family also finally had enough money to start a second floor. Sure the boys didn't have all 4 walls...or a roof...but it was a start.

Over the next few paychecks, the house kept growing.

A second bathroom, was also in the works. Yay!

Eventually, the boys room received all 4 walls and a roof was in place once again.

-----------------------

Building houses isn't one of my strong points, but I'm quite proud of this little creation.

Also, I have created an heir poll to see which of the 4 children will take on the next generation. You can vote here: VOTE HERE

Here is a page with all of the kids information & more pictures too: GENERATION 1

So Many Babies

Originally, this was going to be a 2-kid room. 

Instead, Eden had to share her room with 3 babies. Of course, who all cried at the same time.

Lily utilized FMLA and took time off work to care for the infants.

Crying. All. Of. The. Time.

Eden was a great big sister, and would autonomously talk to her younger siblings.

Looking back, it was perhaps a bad idea to put all 3 babies in Eden's room. Maybe the living room would have been a better spot, since poor Eden sacrificed so much sleep.

Finally it was the triplets' birthday. Luke aged up and rolled geek.

Ryan aged up and rolled active.

 Finally, Fawn aged up and rolled creative. 

A slight game of Tetris was played in order to fit all kids beds into 1 room.

The family had not allocated funds for a second floor so the first floor had to be altered a bit to fit all of the kids into one room. At least there would be no more stinky diapers. 

The family got together pretty well.

Surprisingly, there was little fighting between the siblings.

Although, with only 1 bathroom between the 6 of them, body odor was a bit of an issue.

Especially when it seemed like the family's plumbing was constantly broken.

The kids did do their homework, but it seemed like someone was always being neglected. 

Especially since Lily decided that she needed to get more serious about her lifetime goal.

She started making sure to fit in regular date nights were her soulmate.

So cute.  The kids can take care of themselves right?

Also, another big change happened for the family. Wade finally had a makeover! Woot, woot!

-------------

I have never experienced triplets in this game. They ruined my whole plan for the house. I  had Eden's room perfectly designed for 2 children. Now I'm stuck with 4 in 1 room and only 1 bathroom. I haven't had any accidents yet...which is extremely lucky, but someone is always walking around with BO. Especially since everyone has the exact same work/school schedule. No one has any alone time in the house to get caught up with showers.

Also, I was unable to have any of the kids complete their childhood aspirations. Dang it. Eden spent so much time taking care of her siblings during her early childhood days. When everyone finally aged up, all my time was spent trying to manage bathroom times and homework. On the bright-side everyone was able to hit a B in school. I'll take my wins where I can get them :)

Lily is progressing nicely with her aspiration. Although I haven't touched Wade's yet. Once I find out who will be leading the next generation, I will make sure to start focusing on fulfilling his/hers. 

Also, I do have an heir poll up already on Boolprop. I play a lot faster than I blog ;)
