Chapter 1.1 | Chapter 1.3

And we're back. I was not in a mood to write a post yesterday, so this got pushed to today. The first thing I do upon loading the save is take some time to contemplate making Aleki a Spellcaster. It'll (hopefully) give us occult points - and he DID come in with the wish to do the potions aspiration.

Obviously, my decision shows in the above post. Spellcaster here we come.

Aleki: "Here's your motes. No idea what you want with them, but they're all here.."

He then makes friends with the practical magic guy, gets his first potion recipe.. and checks for tomes and ingredients at the shops.

Sure, Aleki, just poke it with a stick. That'll work.

That's probably the better way to make a potion.

Time for some magical training.

Oh... joy. Now Aleki is cursed. And I have no way of cleansing it yet. Sigh.

This is what I've been doing - pretty much non-stop. Lots of homework. It makes this house incredibly boring to play. (Which is part of the reason I moved Aleki in!)

Hard at work. Still.

Wyld clearly doesn't care that he got cursed.... again. And just blithely walks past him on her way home from class.

Aleki learning a potion recipe. Outside. At night. With no lights other than the magical ones. As you do?

... And then I got an achievement. While Wyld was peeing... Confused, I check my notifications.

Wait... WHAT?!

.. I know how she feels. I'm a little bit dazed myself now. I've never seen a sim actually WIN the lotto. Well, I guess we won't have to worry about bills for a while!

Since it's nearly weekend, I decide that it's time to get started on kiddos. We still have one week of college left, but I think I can get away with doing four classes while Aleki takes care of the kid. Provided we don't get twins. *crosses fingers*

Love day!

Curses. Again. Poor guy. He's really not very good at the potion thing, is he?

It's that time. I'm hoping for a boy, because I have a nice boy's name already picked out. What do I get? A girl. Of course - it's my luck. I name her Wixom. Upon getting home, I realize there's no way I have any intentions to do this whole name game in a Tiny House.. so I open up build mode and get to work.

Here's the upstairs...

And.. the downstairs. I end up deciding the kitchen needs expansion, and change things before long.

He finally has learned the de-cursing potion, and uses the sample he was given to get rid of curses. Spoiler: it doesn't last long.

... That seems safe..? .. Why don't they have food processors in this game?

It's that time. And we got Fussy. Joy!

She's adorable. ... And.. with another weekend (and graduation) coming on..

.. We get started on the next nooboo.

Playtime. She's so cute, guys, I can't even!

With all the things that keep breaking, Wyld's repair skills are doing pretty well.

Halfway up the stairs, poor Aleki ages up. And I realize that I completely forgot his birthday. Oops. Note that "fussy" Wixom is happily taking care of her own needs. Not very fussy, IMO. With the new baby coming, I decide the house needs another upgrade. A few hours later.. I realize I went completely overboard.. and will have a half-empty upstairs until we have more kids. But such is life. Here's how the shell turned out:

I like it. The swimming gazebo and pier are especially cool, to me, at least.

Toddler room moved downstairs, and playroom added. Not 100% sure what the other room will be - either a bedroom or a skilling room. I fenced the porch in and put some nice toddler toys out there, too. Note the pile of toys I have in the toddler's bedroom. All get put away, but I still think the amount of "extra" toys I bought may be a little excessive. *chuckles* That lottery win has gone to my head!

Aleki manages to finish his aspiration. It actually didn't take all that long, considering he's done most the parenting, too.

Um... Aleki... 1, why do you need a book to build on a kid's toy... and 2.. you DO realize I put that there for the kids, right?

Yay!!! My first sim through sims 4 University.

So, of course, I send her to graduation.

Wait, we get fireworks??  Awesome!

Celebrating with the others before the ceremony starts.

They threw their hats. I missed getting a picture of it, but they did. Which was cool. Definitely unexpected, too.

We get a picture for graduating. Awesome!

Getting our first job. Not that we NEED one.. but hey. We start at level 7!!

Partially because I managed to get her to graduate with honors.

Now that school is done, I can concentrate more on Wixom.

Whee!!!

Oh my gosh. She's just too cute. I've never really used the kiddie pool before now.. but this will definitely not be the last time I use it.

Time for another girl?? I have a great name!

... I should have known. Oh well, Yariq it is.

Oh, no, why are we changing into the hospital gown again? 🙁 So annoying. Anyway. We got two babies done.. and we have a decent house.. and lots of money. Not bad for just over two weeks of playing. See you next time for more babies!
