House 008 Chapter 6 < | > House 008 Chapter 8
Checking the goals:
House 008 Building Goals: Have a 5 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom (minimum) house worth at least 50k (value complete) House 008 Generational Goals: Complete the Writer (Author) career with adoptions at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd promotions (all adoptions done) Have a Young Adult heir (child) Each of the three adoptees and the biological heirs are controllable and responsible for completing one of the child aspirations: Social Butterfly - Reese (Bookworm, Hot-Headed) Rambunctious Scamp - Karen (Art Lover, Insider) Whiz Kid - Chantal (Insider, Gloomy) Artistic Prodigy - Eva (Dog Lover) (all four aspirations complete)
Damien still needs his promotion, and we're just waiting on Eva. But the best news is, two more chapters after this and I can start on house 009. I'm so excited for it since I've never gotten this far before. I'm now counting down. LOL.
Damien cleaning up the aftermath of a broken washing machine.
Guess who's got an "A" now!
That's two aspirations complete for her! .. Let's see if we can get four. (Since I have no idea what she'll need next generation, it's still a surprise to me.)
Working on the getting friends part of Social...
Again.. Not my favorite aspiration...
But at least it's done now. That's three!
Upgrading the sink. Tired of it being the only plumbing that still needs cleaning.
That bee on the screen means spring is coming. Even if it doesn't look like it outside.
Awww... tucking in her baby for what may be one of the last times. *sniff* They grow up so fast!
Reese is learning Baking... why?
Because it's Springfest! I hate tracking down the flower bunny.. but we finally found her.
Since they have a day off work and school, I figured this was a good time for them to do school projects. I've been working so hard on Eva that I've been neglecting the others a little bit.
Kayla helping Karen so she can get done quickly and go bake.
Chantal does not seem impressed by the Flower Bunny.
... It looks so lonely...
There. No more lonely. Although the poor thing looks baffled at what a bunny is supposed to do with rocketry.
Rocket # 2 done.
"Who left this mess? I can't bake with it like this!"
"Hooray!" Maybe bunnies are good at helping after all.
Meanwhile, Eva has hunted down her eggs in the newly planted landscaping, and is furiously working on her motor skill for that last aspiration. It'll be close, though. I hope she makes it.
Look who we found wandering the neighborhood!
He's tense, though. Let's see if a conversation can fix that.
We interrupt this impromptu "date" with a public service announcement.. Reese decided to fix a sink all by herself. Way to go!
A funny gift? .. He loved it.
Flirts... accepted. Way to go, Karen!
First kiss.. and then better say good night, it's getting late!
Ghost enjoying the clay, too.
All the girls head off to school... leaving poor Damien in a pile of clothes. I guess I neglected the laundry.
... Much better.
Damien drinking one of his celebrity potions to get him inspired before work.
ALL the girls need fun when they get home from school. So why not learn cooking at the same time?
Maybe the potion for luck did help...!!
That's our second to last goal done! Now we just need Eva to grow up.
Homework after playtime. What good girls.
While Damien and Kayla get in some TV time.
... And a hug. They are still very much in love. Not an easy feat with four kids!
Breakfast time. And Chantal's last day of school.
Getting that high score in the typing game is hard work!
And this is what poor Damien deals with in a house full of girls. Mood swings.
Happy birthday, Chantel!
Ouch. Squeamish. Oh well, it could be worse.. and Style Influencer? Honey, nobody wants that hair... and probably not that dress, either.. *facepalm*
Pictured impressions to get a head start on work...
.. Then some Charisma skill.
One more day til her birthday.. and it's a school day.. So Eva takes off school (she has plenty of vacation) to finish her motor skill.
Karen comes home from work with a level 3 promotion.. way to go! Another teen career maxed.
If you can't tell through the windows.. it's POURING. No jungle gym play today. Poor Eva has to stay cooped up indoors practicing her typing on the computer.
But.. she did it! Just in the nick of time, too.
Oh dear. What are you planning on breaking??
Chantal's first day of work.
Also: Love day and two birthdays today. Mom doesn't like this gift.. and Eva gets sad over it.
This makes up for it, though.
Reese.. couldn't you have done that inside? Kayla's soaked through to the skin, poor thing. She's still being a good sport, though.
... It's time!! (What a messy table...)
Sigh. I was so mad at getting Self-Absorbed for her, I forgot to write down what job she got. So I'm improvising.
... Not sure about the hairstyle, but she's still gorgeous. I guess that makes up for the bad trait.
It's still love day.. so a first date for Karen, the only one with a boyfriend.
MMM .. Lobster Tortellini. Why wasn't I invited?!
Um Karen..? That doesn't look all that safe to me... (They got a Gold date though...)
Eva's new bedroom.
My way of improvising.. I've never maxed the Scouts "Career".. so that's my goal for the next two weeks. That and getting Damien five star fame (he's really close to it now). .. I have to give myself something to do or I get bored.
Painting for scout badges.
Repairing and cleaning for scout badges.. please don't get electrocuted... (spoiler.. she's fine.)
OHMIGOSH!! I totally forgot Reese's birthday in all the hullabaloo. I'm so sorry, Reese.
Oh, so Reese gets the good trait. .... and Detective? Sigh. Well, you're going to work by yourself and won't get any promotions, then. Poor thing.
Anyway. It's the end of the sim week.. and I'm mad at Eva.. so this is a good place to stop. See you next time!
