Finally time for an update and boy it's a long one! A lot has been happening since I could last get on the internet. When we left off the twins had just become teens....
Now that they've all grown up it was time to upgrade and renovate so those teens had a more grown up bedroom. So without needing to explain who's side of the room belongs to who here's the girls room:
And here's Floyd's bedroom too:
The girls still help each other out with their homework. When one is having a bad day the other's take over and Jo has been repaying her sisters for all their help over the years by doing most of it.
Thunder is finally happy with the amount of kids he has and has stopped wanting more.
With everyone out of the house all day these days poor Dany is home alone unless the maid is around.
But he still gets attention when he's dirty. I'm surprised he hasn't started rolling in puddles just to get attention.
Caught out! I spy Jewell in the bathroom checking herself out.
Thunder still has some interesting conversations at the dinner table. "Pfft! What do you want to go to uni for? Your mother and I never went and look how we turned out"
Thunder is rising the ranks and loving it. I think he's finally found his calling.
I really don't know what was happening here. Thunder went into the bathroom and was cheering Floyd as he was using the toilet. "Woohoo! Go Son!"
Scary.
The promotions begin - except this time they're earning them. It looks like Jo and Tabitha are in the same position as a critic now.
Jewell is promoted too but she's not happy. "For gods sake do I look like a legal secretary to you? I want to be famous I don't want a frikin desk job!" Oh yeah? Well you wanted to earn money and you can't start the star career track yet so you'll just have to settle for being in the highest paying teen job to satisfy your money wants.
(I ended up giving in and changing her career track to the athletic one so she could be a cheerleader. I felt it was more appropriate
)
Aww. No matter how many times I watch them cuddle they always look cute snuggled up in bed together.
Maddie is also promoted so the money is starting to finally roll in.
I spend some money on upgrading their games room and they now have a bubble blower and pool table.
I don't know if it's the same for all sim dogs but Dany is just obsessed with being fed treats. He wants them and begs for them all the frikin time. Jo gives in and gives him one.
And then she takes Dany on a walkie. Cute.
Everyone still loves the playstation and it's always the cause of a family gathering.
Tabitha, needing to satisfy the want of teaching Dany a command, teaches him how to sit. Stupid dog didn't get it for ages.
Thunder is promoted yet again. He kicks ass at teaching!
Jo, always the popular one, brings home a friend from school - and luckily it's a guy since she has a want to fall in love.
She turns on the charm straight away.
The townie's name is Michael Hubbard and he's not much to look at so he's not good enough for a potential husband but he'll do for a first love
Floyd brought a friend home today too and he looks pretty happy about it.
Meet Lillian Clark - Is she the goddam cutest townie kid you've ever seen or is it just me?
Jewell quickly rises the rank of her new athletics career but she doesn't seem to care. Poor Jewell your time in the spotlight will come!
Floyd gets to work impressing his new friend by performing some stunts.
God she's so cute. Sorry I keep taking pictures of her. My bad.
Jo meanwhile sits down to a meal with her potential boyfriend Michael who tells her he's going to be ice skating as soon as the first snow hits (It's just turned to winter) and asks if she would go with him.
"Oh you should totally go sis! Say yes! I know I would!" Maddie encourages.
"So uh.. Michael.. Will you be my boyfriend.. Cause I think you're totally cute *cough*"
"I thought you'd never ask!"
First kiss time. Awww.
Whoa.. that's enough of that you too! Hey! Put your clothes on mister!
Well it seems Jo's pretty easy and was a little too eager to fall in love. She does it while they're fooling around under the covers. That's what you get for installing the inteenimator.
Michael stays over the night and nobody seems to care.
The next morning Maddie confronts Michael *Or so I presume from the following pictures which were all free will*
"Hi Maddie. I just screwed your sister"
"How could you? It was your first date! You better not hurt her!"
"Chill! I'm in love Maddie and we couldn't wait any longer"
"Spare me the details please!"
"Look just get out of here before mum and dad see you're here."
Maddie is the coolest big sister ever. Here she is giving a good-natured noogie to Jewell.
Then she went off to read to Floyd.
All the sisters try to spend time with Floyd. Here is Jewell helping him with his homework because Thunder and Tabitha were too busy in the bedroom.
It's Sunday - no school - and Floyd can only think of one thing he would like to do - play with his girlfriend! He calls Lillian up to invite her over.
Aww Lillian looks a little unsure as she's waiting for Floyd to greet her. Maybe she isn't sure how he feels about her?
Aww kodac moment!
I have a hack that lets kids "swap cooties" And Floyd plants one on Lillian. "Eww gross girl germs" He grimaces after.
Tabitha got demoted and looks happy about it. Strange. It's your LTW to be at the top of this career Tab!
We had a huge storm and lightning hit the tree in the front yard just as the girls got home from work. Oh no!
Jewell quickly called the fire brigade to put the fire out. Of course my Fireman NPC is ugly. All my NPC's are.
And what did he have to say?
Okay yeah like it's THEIR fault the tree caught on fire!
Lillian heads for the house on another play date with Floyd. She always looks sad when she's alone
But Floyd was quick to cheer her up. Maybe she comes from a bad home?
Okay I know I'm getting picture happy but they're so adorable
Love is in the air it seems with Thunder and Tabitha sharing a moment in the kitchen. As usual Dany wanders in to interrupt wanting a bloody treat.
Uh oh! Floyd gets a call from another little girl - Vanessa Jenkins. It looks like Floyd is already a romance sim in the making.
He's already bragging about the size of his rocket. Shame on you Floyd! Your girlfriend is still outside. No wonder she's sad!
*sigh* all Thunder and Tabitha do when they're not woohooing is have pillow fights. Here Thunder is trying to coax Maddie into a game.
"Hey Mads - wanna fight?"
"Dad - aren't you a little old for this?"
ROFL Guess who turned up and invited himself inside? Fester.
"So Fester we meet again"
"Indeed with do Dany. So how's my family going since you stole them from me?"
"Just fine Fester. Treats galore, a warm bed and plenty of kids to play with"
"Enjoy it while you can Dany. It'll be you out in the cold next"
"They'll all be sorry. Especially Tabitha. She poisoned Thunder against me I just know it" Fester grumbles as he wanders off. Dany yawned and went back to sleep.
Jewell - feeling that if Jo had a boyfriend that she should have one too has snagged a passerby off the street and started flirting. His name is Wendell Bryan. Not hot enough to join my legacy but a little flirting won't hurt anyone.
Maddie doesn't look like she approves though.
Lol more funny random happenings. I swear I don't even need to write this thing it writes itself.
"Hey sis I think the maid wants to talk to you"
"Yeah whatever just let me finish this level"
"She doesn't even know I exist" Aww poor Laurence Clay! You're not attractive enough for this legacy. But then again if Maddie was to show some interest I might change my mind. Can't stand in the way of love and all.
Jo comes outside and joins the front yard chill out session. Wendell and Jewell are now fast friends.
and FINALLY it's Floyd's birthday. I invite his two love interests and grow them up - I couldn't break Lillian and Floyd2 up it would be too cruel
The family is all there as well. Do Thunder and Tabitha ever get changed? Gah he's looking at his wife again. Typical.
Lol dreds again! It's time for a makeover!
From This....
To This...
That's more like it. Although he isn't as hot as I'd hoped he would be he's still cute.
It was only fair that I gave Lillian a makeover too. Wow she's gorgeous! I totally called it!
Floyd doesn't wait another moment to make his claim and tell her his feelings.
First Kiss time!
And now - it's time to VOTE!!! WOO!!!
