House 011 Chapter 5 < | > House 011 Chapter 7

First, we check on our goals so we don't forget:

House 011 Building Goals:
2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom home worth at least $50k Simoleons (k)
*Include a designated party space
House 011 Generational Goals:
Complete the Master Mixologist Aspiration
Achieve Level 10 of the Mixologist branch of the Culinary Career
Craft Each one of the following potions:
Confident, Energized, Flirty, Focused, Happy, and Inspired
Raise the heir to Young Adult age and give them the Mean trait

.. Which means that, yes.. we're basically done. We just have two miserable weeks with nothing to do except watch the sims. So, with that in mind.. I'm going to fast forward through it, and hope I don't get too many pictures for one post.

We start off with Blaze being completely lost on what to do now that I'm not micromanaging his every second. He finally decides dinner standing up in the kitchen works best. Er. My bad. It was breakfast. Then he ran off to work.

Everyone else has a dance party. Except for Lyla, who was, I think, sleeping in still.

Poor Ariana. You think she has any idea that mopping is NOT going to help in this situation?

Happy Birthday, Lyric!!

Have your "mean" trait that you need for the challenge.... Yuck. At least she got one of the knowledge aspirations, she'll learn whatever skills she needs in the next generation faster.  (I still haven't looked ahead - so I'm flying completely blind, here.)

She's not bad looking. If a little tubby. But that's pretty irrelevant to prettiness. That hair looks good on her! (Not sure about that top, though...)

Lyric, learning her skills for an "A" ... and handily tricking her dad into letting her swap the pieces around. She still loses the game, though. Poor Lyric. She tried.

Told you the hot tub works. And Ariana's weird outfit? Is apparently a swimsuit. *cringe*

The kids, doing homework, while the parents make a run for it. Nobody wants to help them with the homework, eh?

The next day's homework party works out much better. And Blaze even decides to help out.

Lyric really tries to put her mind into the game this time, although she still loses. They're fairly evenly matched, so it's not because Blaze is better at Logic. Maybe Lyric is just really bad at Chess. LOL. She finally gets her last skill point, though. So we don't have to torture her anymore.

Oh, Derek. *frown* Poor lil' guy! This is what happens in a "Sunny Aspect" home when you don't force the kids to go to bed on time.

AHHHH!!! They're back!! My least favorite holiday. LOL. We feed one a pie and sell them ASAP. Then we decorate the house for Fall, and I think it looks awesome:

Can't tell I really like this house, can you?

Italian meatballs for dinner. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Lyric apparently likes stand-up comedy, too. To go with her horror film appreciation.. If I see her watching youtube videos, I'll have to wonder if she's my son's Sim-counterpart. They'd have the same taste in TV...

The kids come home from school the next day - although Derek doesn't look like he had a good day. Deirdre completely ignores her twin cursing... and Lyric.. is checking her phone. Typical teen.

However, on the good news - we got some more A students in the house!

Yup, it's Spooky Day - and we all know that fairy one is my favorite outfit. We give her a "treat".

With that face, you'd think this teen would have gotten a "trick" - but she didn't. I swear, it was a "treat"!

We discover Lyric likes piercings. Good to know. I can comply there! We'll see which one she has the most of on her auto outfits, and let her keep that one when she grows up.

Boba Fett. We give him a "trick" just because. Both Blaze and he crack up laughing about it afterwards.

Dinner! With everyone except Lyric. I think she was sleeping.

Happy Birthday, buddy!

I'm definitely going to miss you when we switch houses, old man. *frown* .. He's been a good heir.

And - another birthday... (once she got home from school, of course).

Lyla totally got the better traits. And obviously, since I can't control her, no career - I just thought it was funny that her rolled career fit her traits so well.

... Interesting. She looks nothing like her sister. And I'm not a fan of the haircut. I'm tempted to go into CAS and give her back her braids, but I refrain.

Another dinner with missing sims.. but the food actually looks tasty, somehow. I forget what it was called... Cioppino, maybe?

The house gets all dolled up for Winter-time, and looks amazing.

Time to decorate the tree... although Lyric looks like she's going to "tap out" early.

I know, I know, it's Winterfest. But homework wasn't done the night before, so you might as well do it now!

Yup, you two, too. No slackers in this house!

A grand Meal of Ham dinner for everyone - and look, everyone actually made it!!

Presents! ... Nothing particularly interesting, other than the fact that everyone got something she or he actually liked. Which was unusual.

Um... thanks for the teapot?

Left to his own devices most of the time, Blaze is the first to find the Karaoke Machine. He's not half bad. More or less.

Um... Ariana, why do you look so confused. You're playing with a KID's toy.

The next morning, the service people show up in the middle of a blizzard and can barely find the house.

Ariana, in her great wisdom.. decides to take a nap outside in the hot tub in the middle of said blizzard. *rolls eyes* Way to go, silly.

Oh - And - Spoiler: I did get too many pictures. So you'll have to wait until the next post to see the wrap-up of this generation. Sorry. *smile*
