House 6: Sculpting - Part 3

Calingasta and Pulmari are now teenagers and both received the Savvy Sculptor trait.


Calingasta spent her teen years tied to the sculpting station. My intention was for her to max the skill before her young adult birthday, which she did, so that afterward she could devote herself entirely to her career.


Instead, her sister combined her time between sculpting and cooking, since I have chosen for her The Culinary Librarian Lifetime Wish.


Speaking of LTWs, Lashon reached level 10 of his career and fulfilled his wish while being kicked out of his own presentation. It took a few minutes for the wish to register after he finished his concert, which worried me for a moment, but as he started to walk offstage the game seemed to register that the recital was over and that Lashon had maxed out his career.


The next day, and not to be outdone by her husband, Lileo also topped her work and completed her LTW.


Pulmari hates the outdoors but she automatically chooses this place to do her homework. Sims.


A few days after completing her Lifetime Wish, Lileo made her 25th ice statue and supermaxed the sculpting skill.



Now that Lashon has met his requirements, I've been using him to win a few medals, so instead of retiring he continues to sing, sometimes with not-so-good results.


Right after this, a recital was starting so he didn't have time to go home to take a bath and he had to perform burnt. The public seemed to love the presentation. It was very hot. 😆


That same evening the girls had the prom dance, since I was dealing with Lashon I only have a screenshot of them in the dark.


Although their dresses can be seen in the following photo. Just a few hours after the prom they both maxed out the sculpting skill within minutes of each other.


The girls aged to young adults two days later and Lileo to elder the day before. Graduation came the next day. Lashon seemed a bit confused as to where he was and walked the other way.


Calingasta was voted Most Likely to be a Millionaire, with she already is, and Pulmari was selected Class Valedictorian and Most Likely to Never Leave the House.

Calingasta last trait is Natural Born Performer which I chose to help her in her career as an Acrobat. This is the last requirement for this house before Pulmari can move to the next one. In case it's not clear, Pulmari is the heiress.


Calingasta was a very fun sim to play. She had a lot of problems with her performances, including a dog interrupting her in stage or sabotaging herself by slapping her audience.


I've never played around with the diva trait much and after seeing how much fun it's to see Calingasta doing these things I've realized that I've been missing playing with a great trait.

For her part, Pulmari leads a much quieter life, reading recipes and sculpting.


She completed her Lifetime Wish and supermaxed Sculpting a few days after her birthday. Also bought her building (C-Ment Shoe Factory) and her two unique rewards (Teleportation Pad and Born to Cook).

Unfortunately, not everything was good news in the house, while the girls worked to achieve their goals, Grim made his appearance to take two family members.


First was Lashon who implored for a few more days. Lashon died at 94 and short of 3000 points for a large grave.


PaclĂ­n only lasted one day after her bar was full.

Despite her grief, Calingasta maxed out her career and completed her LTW.


Then it was time to wrap up this household. Calingasta and Lileo drove a limousine to a new house with the youngest at the wheel and her mother in the back.



Meanwhile Pulmari was leaving Starlight Shores to start a new life.

House 6: Sculpting - Part 2

 Lileo is pregnant and is happy to announce it to Lashon. 


And for the next few days is what occupies her mind, even the phone talk with her boss is focused on her future children. Yes, children, I'm trying to get Lileo to have twins.


Meanwhile Lashon is making good progress in his career, he also takes advantage of the people who gather to watch his show to sing for tips.


As I wanted, Lileo had twins. Green baby in Lileo's arms is Calingasta (athletic and friendly) and the baby on the floor is Pulmari (hates the outdoors and loner). The babies have different personalities but both could serve as heiresses for the next house according to my plans. So for now I have not designated one as such.

Time to confess: Calingasta and Pulmari are the first 6 gen sims that I ever had. I'm more of playing short challenges, besides being an eternal challenge starter that I never finish. But this project has me interested like the first day, so I'm confident that I'll finish it no matter how long it takes me.


The birth of their daughters made both Lileo and Lashon want to get married so I fulfilled their wishes.


They had an intimate wedding in a corner of their house, I could have given them a party since it would go well with their personality, but the truth is I was being lazy.

I used the option to age sims early once in their time life with the girls.



The two girls are quite different but share Lashon's eyes and mouth.


I don't remember if I mentioned it in the previous chapter, but Lileo is the designated sim for supermaxing this house skill. Between giving birth and getting married, she has a lot of free time before going back to work, so she seemed like the logical choice to me, plus her work in politics is not very demanding thanks to her level 10 charisma.


She maxed out sculpting very quickly, though I didn't get to capture the moment. That same day Lileo aged to adult.


She was also in charge of teaching the twins their toddler skills.


Although Lashon helped a little too, keeping the girls' needs in green.


A screenshot of the girls interacting at the block table before they grew up to children. I wish there were more interactions between toddlers.


Calingasta is now a Diva, she's going to be the Acrobat in the family.


Pulmari gained the Perfectionist trait. She'll be in the sculpting self employed career. I gave both of them clothes to represent their future professions.


Calingasta likes to compliment herself a lot. I love the Diva trait.


Pulmari, on the other hand, spends a lot of time watching the news channel. She is a very serious girl.


But despite being so different, they spend a lot of time together, mostly in the sandbox. Poor Pulmari have to suffer the outdoors.



Half through their child age stage, both became best friends thanks to a lot of automatic interactions. They're almost in free will so I'm pleased to see them getting along so well.

While the girls weren't very controlled by me, the same can't be said for Lashon, since I'm making him work very hard in his career. And not only that, because now that I have a very new computer that handles being online just fine, I'm making him win some Showtime medals I never completed.


Focusing so much on his career made me forget about his birthday, so he aged to elder in the middle of a show. Sorry Lashon.


At least that incident didn't make his shows any less popular.


A couple of days after his birthday, he maxed the sculpting skill. Now he can focus only in his career, in which he is already at level 9. 

And finishing this update, a visit from a burglar. 


Sixth consecutive house with a thief.


Lileo is more concerned with supermaxing sculpting than the fighting in the background. The policeman seems to have everything in the bag. Or that's the burglar? Neither Lileo nor I are worried.

House 6: Sculpting - Part 1

Lileo moved to Startlight Shores to another premade house. I'm being lazy with construction lately, maybe the next house will be built by me, we'll see.


Here is the collection of Cranstan Boonitz, the gnomes came with her from her previous home, all obtained by her mother.


In this house I will try to do the rest of the showtime professions, so I chose a skill that didn't have many jobs associated with it, sculpting.


Considering this, I chose the singer NPC Lashon Lavelle as her future husband.


He was not the one who showed up when she asked for a Sing-A-Gram. 


Nor was he the one who showed up when Lileo asked for a second one, this time Lileo had to dedicate the sing a gram to Faylene for the game to let me call the second singer. The game created a pudding face even though the correct npc exists.


Third time the charm! Now Lileo has to pay three singers, but money is not a problem for this family.


Amid the calls to NPCs, Lileo was visited by neighbors who come to welcome her to the town. The first time in six generations!


Although they did not pay much attention to the new Startlight Shores townie, preferring to have a pillow fight in the farthest room in the house or eating alone. Rude.


Pudding face glitch out and remained standing for more than 24 hours outside the house. I had to reset him.


A few days later and after several phone calls, Lashon agreed to come to the house.


Lileo wasted no time and made him her boyfriend and inviting him to live with her.


Here's Lashon Lavelle. His traits are good sense of humor, bookworm, genius, handy and good. Really good traits. His lifetime wish is Vocal Legend, the reason why I chose him even though he is an adult.


That face! I have faith that he will break the Skiillo genes a little. They are cute and I love them, but everyone looks like the second gen spouse, I want variety.

Even though he is an npc singer and he used to do sing a grams, Lashon was unemployed. He signed as a singer under the name El Bello, a play on words with his last name meaning the beautiful. 


While her boyfriend was working, Lileo started with this household skill.


Lashon became very intimate with the ground.


Nothing a change of clothes can't fix. I let him enjoy a bit in the pool, since I've been working him hard, delivering sing a grams nonstop, thanks to the motive mobile.


Lashon gave his first show in the park.



He sang before the loving gaze of his girlfriend, the city council member Lileo Skiillo. 


Lileo and Lashon welcomed a new member of the family.


PaclĂ­n is a genius and independent puppy. I chose her for her traits but I fell in love with her strange face.


PaclĂ­n was only a puppy for a couple of hours, she aged to adult the same day she was adopted.


She gets all the attention in the house.



Maybe next update will have another new member in this family.
