House 2: Athletic and Cooking - Part 2

Cooper spent time with his sons while his wife was training.

I don’t know which of the boys rigged the shower with dye but Julie was the one who fell into the prank.

Atuel aged to teen, his new trait is Ambitious. I really like his face, I wish to have planned things differently since I would have liked him to be the heir, but I designated Iguazú from birth and I assigned traits and careers accordingly.


From now on he will be in charge of fixing and upgrading the house. I’m grooming him for the military career.

Meanwhile, Iguazú shared the kitchen with his father, I see a lot of cooking in his future.

That same afternoon he sold the cakes he made in the morning. He's the most successful kid I ever had at a bake sale. Normally, I sell one cookie if I am very lucky.

First and only arrest that Julie had, she breezed through her career.


She was also the first to supermax a skill in this house.

Cooper didn’t want to be less than his wife, so a few days later he supermaxed cooking. He never wished to max the skill, but he did want to know all the recipes.


Sadly, it was time for both of them to become elders. Cooper aged first and Julie followed him two days later. They should have been the same age, but her first pregnancy made Julie add two days to her life.


Atuel was a pretty good big brother, although I question his choices in reading. I don’t think a pregnancy book is what Iguazú really want to hear about.

Prom night arrived. Atuel was pronounced King and came home with a romantic interest named Natasha, who we’ll never see in person.

The same night Iguazú aged to teen and gained the Natural Cook trait.

In her old age, Julie became a little more of pranker, she was constantly scaring Cooper.


This happened autonomously, and it always ended with them being romantic in some way or another. I loved them because of these interactions, they were a really cute couple and more in their old age. 

The boys only were both teens for a couple of days, this is the only screenshot that I have of them together.

This is because I aged Atuel to young adult as soon as he got an A in school. According to the rules, I can early age the sims using the cake only once in their lifetime.

His final trait is Workaholic to add to Excitable, Friendly, Athletic and Ambitious. His Lifetime Wish is Become an Astronaut. He immediately signed for the military career.

A couple of days later it was his graduation where his classmates voted him Most Likely to Fulfill Their Lifetime Wish. 

In his old age, Cooper began to have more emergencies to rescue sims. I was looking forward to that because I was beginning to worry that the man wouldn’t be able to complete his ltw.

In the previous chapter there was another ceremony that I said was the delivery of the key, obviously I was wrong. It must have been another award because this is the real one.

The mayor handed him the key to the city.

I think the next update will be the end of this house, which I have already finished playing.

House 2: Athletic and Cooking - Part 1

 Cooper crossed the street to his new house.


He wasted no time calling Julie and invited her to move in with him. I really like Julie's face, it's unconventional but pleasant to look at.


For this house, as the title indicates, there will be two skills. I had first thought of using athletic only because it's necessary for Cooper's career and leaving cooking for the next house, but cooking is a pretty boring skill to me so I decided to merge the two into one house.
For this reason, Cooper will be in charge of supermaxing the cooking skill while Julie supermaxing athletic. She needs that skill for her career and Lifetime Wish, Master Thief.  She comes with that LTW being a burglar NPC.




They were both in the gym when Cooper reached the peak of his career. 


Cooper had just started exercising when it happened, so I missed the opportunity to take the screenshot with the lifetime happiness points but here's the notification of maxing his career.


Cooper adult birthday catched up with him while he was maintaining the firetruck, I'm trying to make this a quick game as possible so there will be no birthday celebrations when they aren't needed.


The couple wasted no time and they looked for their first child. Cooper was thrilled.


The first baby of this generation! His name is Atuel and he's excitable and friendley, plus he inherited immune to fire from his father and burglar from his mother. The name Atuel is a river in my country (Argentina), I wanted to have a sort of name theme. Since they are in Riverview, the rivers theme seemed great to me but I didn't want the typical names like Thames or Nile.


The next day, Julie maxed the athletic skill although she's still far from supermaxing it.


Julie's evil but the only way in which she shows this trait is by stealing candy from her son, the rest of the time she is a sweetheart
I never mentioned her traits, she's unlucky, kleptomaniac, athletic and evil.


In the middle of this Julie aged to adult but I don't have a picture of it, what I do have is Atuel aging to toddler. Someone looks a lot like his mom.


Cooper, for his part, was busy saving life. I was worried for a time because he had few calls to rescue sims and too many of buildings emergencies.


Anyway, he was presented with the key to the city.


Going back to Julie, she's expecting her second child.


It was another boy, for now I'm letting the game choose the gender. His name is Iguazú, continuing with the river theme. He's heavy sleeper and good.


Cooper has the wish to marry Julie locked on from the first day but I was waiting for Julie to wish it too. She rolled it immediately after the birth of Iguazú.


Now that she's a married woman with two kids, nothing is stopping Julie from joining the Riverview criminals anymore. I waited until the marriage and the births to avoid the eternals leaves from work. 


In her spare time, she contributes to the family funds by stealing cars.


Iguazú aged to toddler, he's pretty much his father with his mother coloring.


For a couple of days, they were both toddlers and played together.


Until Atuel had to age to child. He added athletic to his traits.


For a while the house was quite quiet, the only important thing is note is that Cooper maxed the athletic skill.


A couple of days later, Iguazú joined his brother in childhood, his new trait is neat. (Doing this update I realized that I took the same screenshot of the two of them holding the cake right after their birthdays. 😅)


To finish this chapter, I leave you with the kids enjoying their childhood.
