Ok nope.. I give up!
Here is the update...
Hope it doesn't take too long to load!
6.5 - Lost and FoundWhen we last left off, Lucy had just set off for her very first day at school...
Here she is coming home, with her very first report card!
A B+... not bad Lucy! Just a little more hard work!
There was good news from Aaron though.. he came home just after Lucy... with a promotion!
Hehe! "International Sim of Mystery" ey?! Well done Aaron!
And there was good news when Viola came home from work too.. (Just after the birth, she left Dylan at home with Grandma Erin and scooted off!)
She got a promotion too!
A proud Lucy ran outside and gave her a welcome-home hug...
Aww
That evening, Viola helped Lucy with her homework, so she could soon bring home an A+ like her older siblings...
Shortly after they had finished though... disaster struck!
...
The grim reaper came for Erin!
The whole family rushed to say goodbye as she begged for just a few more minutes
But old grimmie wouldn't listen, and took her away...
As she got fired from her job, and never had time to find another one.. she didn't get chance to fulfill her life-time want
And so.. she just has a plain gravestone... which the family place in the garden, next to Porthos'
RIP Erin.. you will be missed!
Especially by Cyd...
When Lucy came home from school the next day, in the pouring rain... she had a bit of good news to help cheer the family up...
Her first A+ report card!
Well done Lucy!
Aaron was really pleased!
And a little later that evening, there were some celebrations to be had...
For Amy's birthday!
To make up the numbers of missing Erin.. Bonkers the kitty joined in!
And here she is as a teen...
She seems to have blossemed quite nicely!
The next day, Cyd faces a tough decision at work...
But luckily, he makes the right choice!
And gets a promotion!
Well done Cyd!
And well done Lucy too!
She's really enjoying school.
That evening, there's another party to be had...
This time, for Dylan's birthday!
And here he is as a toddler...
Like his older brother, a little lacking in the lips department!
But apart from that he's cute!
Viola thinks so too, as she excitedly teaches him to talk..
Aww! "teddy bear"! How sweet...
And then potty trains him...
He's even cuter now he doesn't have to use smelly nappies anymore!
She lets Aaron have a turn with him for a bit though as she goes off to do some work... And Aaron happily finishes off his toddler training by teaching him to walk...
That evening, Amy decides it's time to be moving on and joining her older siblings at university.
Goodbye and good luck Amy! See you soon!
Just after she has left though... something terrible happens...
...
The grim reaper comes for Cyd!!
He really doesn't want to go yet, and tries desperately to fight it...
But the mean grimmie won't listen to his pleading, and takes him anyway...
As the family are reeling from their loss... they suddenly realise they have another one to cope with!
Bonkers is missing!!
Lucy is distraught... both her grandad and her kitty gone in the space of a few minutes!
Viola is devastated for her child.. and tries to help sort things a little by getting on the phone and reporting Bonkers missing...
This is the reply she gets...
Guess it's just going to be a case of sitting and waiting... and keeping their fingers crossed!
A couple of quiet, uneventful but long and hard days later... the phone rings...
An excited Aaron rushes to answer it anddd...
This is what he hears...
He of course immediately says yes!
Yay!! Bonkers is coming home!!
...
And here he is...
So sorry Bonkers!! Please don't ever leave again!
Aaron immediately fits him with a lovely snazzy collar.. to make him feel welcome! And to help find him if he ever goes walk-a-bout again!
He then gets back to his favourite pass-time...
Kicking the little plastic bird's ass!!
A little later, Dylan takes the opportunity to meet Bonkers for the first time...
Aww!
He wuvs him!! Bonkers doesn't seem quite so impressed by their meeting though.. Sorry kitty! Please
don't leave again!
But after the hug, he seems to have taken it ok, and goes off for a nap somewhere... *phew*...
Later that evening, Viola decides to find him a job, to help keep him more occupied...
And what better than the pampered life of the showbiz career?!
Hope you enjoy it Bonkers!
The next day, it's time for some more celebrations...
Dylan's birthday again! (Aww.. they grow up so quick!)
Sadly, Aaron was at work.. and Bonkers was too busy filling his face to join in! But Lucy and Viola made an effort!
Hehe
And here he is as a kid...
Isn't he cute??!
He is a
CancerAnd his stats are:
Sloppy/neat: 6
Shy/outgoing: 6
Lazy/active: 6
Serious/playful: 4
Grouchy/nice: 6
As soon as his daddy comes home from work, he rushes out to give him a hug and show him what a cute kid
he's become!
Aww
When Viola returns from work the next day, it's her turn to get another hug off Lucy!
A congratulations for getting another promotion!
Yehh go Viola!
She better have enjoyed that Lucy hug.. as it may be the last one she's going to get off her!
As it's birthday time.. and Lucy's about to turn into a teen!
Happy Birthday Lucy!
And here she is...
Not bad! Though I can't help but feel there is something a little odd about her nose
Hmm...
She is a
Popularity aspiration.
Her turn ons are
Make up and
Custom HairAnd her turn off is
Grey Hair.
Later that night, there was a ghostly visitor!
Hello ghost Cyd!
He's not a very scary looking ghost actually.. like some I've seen.. just sad and mournful looking
We miss you Cyd!
Thought this was cute though... as it's winter, when he goes to haunt outside the house, he changes into his winter clothes before he floats through the door!
Aww bless... not sure how he can feel the cold! But never mind...
The next morning it's time for Dylan's first day at school...
Off he goes wrapped up in his winter gear. But just like all his older siblings, he too gets to study at the local private school. Good luck Dylan!
Whilst he is at school, Viola is faced with a difficult decision at work...
But luckily, she makes the right choice!
Meanwhile Dylan is showing off at school on his first day...
Well done Dylan!
It's not quite such good news when he comes home from school with his report card though... a B+
Not to worry Dylan.. if he's anything like his older brother and sisters am sure he'll soon bring home an A+!
Dylan wasn't the only one facing a first day today though... Bonkers had his first day at work too.
Here he is arriving home...
He went straight off to sleep so it must have been tiring! But I hope he enjoyed it...
A bit later that evening when everyone is home from work, Amy drops round for a visit...
Viola was delighted to see her!
They enjoyed a good catch up chat whilst Aaron helped Dylan with his homework...
After that, he goes over to say his hello's to Amy... in his own special way!
Yuck! Poor Amy! Looks like Aaron inherited his late father's manners!
Thanks to that incident Amy remembers why she decided to move out when she did, and makes her excuses and leaves!
But as she's going, Lucy decides it's probably time for her to be leaving too.. and so jumps in a taxi after her...
Goodbye Lucy! See you soon!
The next day there's good news from Dylan...
He brought home an A+ report card!
Yehh well done Dylan! Now all this generation of Summers kids are officially clever!
Aaron was delighted for his youngest son!
Later that evening, there was a visit from an old family member...
She looks so sad
Poor Erin...
Ok now I don't feel so sorry for her! Poor Dylan! Why did she have to wake him up to scare him while he was fast asleep?! And why is she wearing her swimwear?!
Odd sims...
He soon recovers though.. and is delighted to see it's thick snow outside when he wakes up. He gets wrapped up in his winter clothes and heads outside to build a snowman before school...
But before it's finished he has to get on the bus.. much to his dismay. He was hoping for a snow day!
Later that evening, Aaron exhausts himself maxing out his body skill...
And it pays off! As the next day...
He comes home with a promotion! And is now at the top of his career! Yehh! Well done Aaron!
As he has now reached the top of his career, he has a bit more time on his hands... so the next morning he decides to start on some gardening... Taking care of the lemon tree...
And planting some tomatoe plants
Fingers crossed for a good harvest!
The next day some of his hard work is rewarded as he gains a bronze gardening talent badge...
Keep it up Aaron!
A bit later that day it's time for his first day at work as "Space Pirate"... Check out the uniform!
Hehe
Sadly, whilst he was at work, he missed Dylan's birthday party...
But Dylan didn't mind, he knew his dad couldn't really miss his first day after his latest promotion. And besides, being a Space Pilot is a cool job!
Viola was still there to cheer him though...
And here he is as a teen!
Heyy! Not baddd!!
He is a
family aspiration.
His turn ons are
Cologne and
SwimwearAnd his turn off is
Fatness.
Much to Viola's dismay, he decided he wanted to head straight off to college to join his older siblings...
As she tearfully waved goodbye, he drove off to university in a taxi...
Goodbye Dylan! See you soon!
Well.. that's it for this generation!
Thanks for reading
And the voting for the next heir is in the following post!
