Pulmari arrived to her new home on Twinbrook. This time I did build her house, something I hadn't done since house 4. I tried to create something that goes with the other buildings in the town.
This another two skill household, writing and social networking.
At first, I thought about doing just writing but, even though it's one of my favorite skills, I thought that watching my sims writing all day would be a bit boring. So, I added social networking since they go hand in hand, blogs benefit from high levels of writing (or so says carl's guide which has been an invaluable help in this challenge so far.)
But before starting with the skills of this generation, Pulmari needs to make a couple more sculptures to top her career. Which she achieved by selling about 5 sculptures in the consignment store.
In the midst of sculpting statues Pulmari met Bill Copperfield, Twinbrook policeman.
Pulmari was going to the consignment store when she saw Bill walking by and immediately invited him to her house. He was one of the possibilities that I had thought of as a possible husband for her. The reason is his red skin.
Thinking that I couldn't lose this opportunity, I set Pulmari on a mission to win him over.
A few hours later Bill joined the household as Pulmari's husband.
Before the day was out, Bill left for university.
Before starting this house, I had already planned that Pulmari's spouse would take the Journalism career. Since Bill is halfway through his adulthood, he would benefit from a degree in communications.
I played Bill's university days mostly on speed 3. The man dedicated himself to studying and attending classes, working on his skills in between.
During his off hours he toured the campus meeting sims to increase his charisma and in the evenings he practiced writing.
Something to note is that one night he was visited by a thief, whom he arrested thanks to his Can Apprehend Burglar hidden trait.
And that's basically all that happened with Bill in college.
He did a second period very similar to the first one, I hardly took screenshots except for when he maxed charisma.
Bill graduated with a A and gained a new trait, I chose workaholic to help him with his career.
Then it was time to return home. Bill uploaded his resume and got a job in Journalism at level 4. From now on, Bill would be known as a journalist who has no problem saying the bad things about Twinbrook residents that everyone knows but no one says.
A few days later, Pulmari was expecting their first child.
A couple of days later, his brother Bermejo was born neurotic and couch potato. The brothers are only four days apart in age.
Bermejo is the designated sim to supermax writing, so he is learning it since his first day as a toddler, while Tupungato is practicing his socials skills with his mother to help him supermax social networking in the future.
I don't know why I took this screenshot, maybe because the whole family was skilling? I don't remember but I share it anyway.
There were three birthdays one after another, first Pulmari aged to adult in her studio, at least Bill to cheered for her.
Tupungato aged to child and gained the ambitious trait.
Bill aged to elder the same day as his son.
The next day Bill completed all of his requirements. First, he topped his career and completed his lifetime wish.
As soon as he got home, he began to write a new article and with that he maxed the writing skill.
And because this sim is a super achiever, the next day he also maxed social networking out.
Not to be outdone by his family, Bermejo also had a birthday, he has the bookworm trait now.
To my shame, I didn't take any screenshots of Bermejo after aging up and on top of that I sent him directly to the computer to start with his first book.
What a bad watcher I am.
