Makeover Time

It was time for the Blue house to expand. The idea of literally changing the home to blue was toyed with, but it remained the pink hue that Lily had preferred.

The floor plan was extended though. Another bathroom and bedroom were added upstairs.

While the kitchen and living room were completely remodeled with newer appliances and electronics. Although the decor remained unchanged.

Finally, some personal touches were added to the resting spots of Lily, Wade, and Fawn.

This took Elle closer to completing the next step of her aspiration. She would just need to wait for a few more paychecks to add in more furniture and to landscape.

After an exhausting day of remodeling, Elle invited a former-high school acquaintance out clubbing.

Elle got her flirt on.

I think this face deserves a close up.

It seemed to work for Kade though.

Cute flirting.

First kiss.

Random heart overhead.

 Random break-off into a very large group conversation.

*Wait I need some one-on-one time so I can officially call this a cold medal date!*

 
*Okay, okay!*

Officially boyfriend and girlfriend now since they've almost officially had 1 date.

Finally, the gold medal success they were looking for.

Without hesitation, Elle invited Kade over the next morning and of course she asked him to move in. They didn't hesitate for a little 'woo hoo' in Chad and Carissa's bed.

While all of the attention was on Elle and Kade, the other members of the Blue family were still alive. Iain had picked up a weekend job of doing lawn care...

...while Mila followed in Elle's foot steps and babysat. They were both solid C students.

Emery was still enjoying retirement and spending time with his grandchildren.

Finally, Chad and Carissa were still busy making money to fill their aspirations. Obviously way too busy to be photographed.

....

Outtake 1: Kade's farts are apparently musical. He and Elle are both on the criminal career path. His aspiration is to become a criminal mastermind so it just seemed fitting. Elle had already settled on that career prior to dating Kade since it went well with her materialistic wants and her kleptomania.

Outtake 2: Chad is obviously too busy to even cook. He prefers to just eat air. (That's a fork in his right hand and his hunger bar is filling up.) Chad decided on the stock-trader branch of the business career. He is less than 5k away from the next ranking of being fabulously wealthy. This aspiration is taking longer than expected.

Catching Up

Laura's note: It's been almost a year since my last post! Well what happened?

Carissa: April 2016

Laura: April 16, 2016

About 2 weeks after this picture was taken I randomly did a quick spin and a swaddled baby girl appeared in my arms. There was lots of confetti naturally. I also instantly went back to a size 4.

Anyway, I'm back in the Sim world finally! I'm taking advantage of nap times to get some playtime in.

So here is where we left off:

....

Elle stole the heir poll. The sweet Mila and the charming Iain were left in the dust. 

The classy teen split her time between being a high school student and babysitting on the weekend. Morning person, business savvy, physically gifted, foodie, kleptomaniac...I mean which trait wouldn't you want in a babysitter?

Let's be honest, morning people aren't that bad.

...

A year had randomly passed for the Blue family. They all stood outside of their house a bit disoriented. Wasn't it time for work and school?

The future family leader, Elle was unconcerned.

 Never pass up a good selfie opportunity.

Once they took a few potty breaks and got reoriented, the teens all went their separate ways to knock out their homework.

Afterwards they blew off some steam by working out. They were all physically gifted of course.

Meanwhile, Chad was continuing to work on becoming fabulously wealthy. Between work and his other financial endevors, he did occasionally socialize with the family ghosts.

Carissa was trying her hand at self-publishing to earn her share of Simoleons.

While Emery helped train Iain.

*Insert hand pun here*

Soon it was time to celebrate Elle's transition into adulthood.

The Blue family had their first gold medal birthday party for this generation.

..with a good share of (magically cleans itself up) confetti.

Elle slept soundly that night...dreaming of the big change she was about to make.

Super Fit

It was time for Elle to become a teenager.

In a flood of light she transformed!

She turned out quite gorgeous...just like her mom. Too bad her glass of milk wasn't stolen. It would have been so much cooler.

Chad continued to fill out his daily reports, hoping to earn another promotion, and earn some extra simoleans. 

While Carissa did the same. They were each only halfway to becoming fabulously wealthy.

Money being the last thing on her mind, Mila continued to build her motor skills.

She finally completed her aspiration of becoming a rambunctious scamp.

Iain was cheerful. Always cheerful.

While Emery spent his golden years with his children.

Soon it was time for Carissa's birthday!

It looked a bit painful.

Elle spent her time playing with the neighborhood kids...

...and flirting with the teenage boys from her class.

Chad and his brother Dave enjoyed...well maybe enjoy isn't the right word.

Anyway, soon it was time for Mila to celebrate her birthday and become a teenager.

This time the flash of light was joined by an explosion of confetti.

With so much birthday cake eating, the family really focused on building their athletic skills. Although, Mila preferred working out alone.

And Iain finally finished his childhood aspiration of becoming a rambunctious scamp.

This was going to be a super fit family.

Iain's birthday is just around the corner at this point which I'm working on detailing in the next chapter. Since I'm always way further in my games than I am with my blog, I've already got the next heir(ess) poll up.
