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.


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


Paclín 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.

House 5: Charisma - Part 3

Old age seems to have brought out the evil trait in Sandy.

But this chapter is not about Sandy’s and Pelque’s antics, but about the heiress.


Until now I had neglected the afterschool activities so I made Lileo join the Drama Club. By the time their first meeting came around, she had almost maxed out charisma so the club wasn’t of much help.

 

Thanks to the moodlet manager and the motive mobile, Lileo spent her nights studying charisma and the hours after school meeting people.

Sometimes Pelque provides a bit of music to help his daughter with her requeriments.

But not everything is work for Lileo.

She went to prom with one of her friends, Miles Corley Willow. While dancing he asked her to be steady, she accepted, and then they shared their first kiss. Lileo was voted prom queen, so it was a good night for her.

After prom, she and Miles went out on several dates. If it wasn't for the rules that Lileo has to marry (or at least breed) with an npc, I'd take him with her to the next town.

Look at that face, I would love for them to have weird cute babies. But well, is not in the cards for them.

In other news, Pelque maxed the athletic skill. That’s basically his life now.

At some point, Lileo was arrested by the police and I don't know why. It’s my fault for not writing it down while playing and for writing this chapter two months after this happened.

She was grounded by her mother.

Immediately after scolding her daughter, Sandy and Pelque went on a free vacations, leaving their grounded daughter alone in the house for three days. Sims logic.

And even though Lileo was alone in the house, she had to sneak out every time she left home. I love this game so much.

On one of those sneak outs, she went to the library and maxed charisma. She such a rebel.

With the charisma task completed, Lileo dedicated herself completely to fulfill wishes and collect enough happiness points to buy her lifetime rewards.

Like almost all my sims in this challenge, she wanted to learn the athletic skill.

One night we had a visit from a burglar. So far all the houses have received a visit from these characters.

Lileo called the police, but before they arrived, Sandy had already taken care of the matter.

Although all the effort was useless, because the burglar took advantage of the cop flirting with Sandy to escape.

Pelque slept through it all.

A few days later, Lileo grew to young adult.

She’s now a social butterfly and chose Lider of the Free World as her Lifetime Wish. She immediately went to look for a job at the city hall.

I think it was the next day that Grim came for Pelque, he was only 92 days old and working toward maxing his sixth skill.


The very next day, Lileo maxed athletics and with that collected enough happiness points to buy her two rewards, Food Replicator and Fearless Vogager.

She stayed with her mother a couple of days more waiting for graduation, but the day never came. So she knew it was time to move to her next house.

They parted ways with a big hug, and in true Sandy fashion she left driving her own limousine to her new cabin in the woods.


This time I will leave the headstones of the family in Hidden Springs, I like to take them to other cities to preserve the genetics. But I'm ready for new looks for my sims, everyone so far has looked a lot like Lillie (2nd gen spouse). Four generations of the same nose is enough!

First row: Pelque. Second row: Paraná, Ken, Kilka and Ruca. Third row: Iguazú and Lillie.

Then it was time for Lileo to leave her childhood home and start a new life.

House 5: Charisma - Part 2

Pelque is in charge of skilling Lileo because has the Nurturing trait. He also has free time since he only works three times a week and supermaxed charisma and completed his liftime wish.


After trying various things to solve the problem of not passing the flirty interaction with no results, resetting the town with master controller did the trick. So Pelque wasted no time and proposed to Sandy. Both of them had the wish to marry each other and the general one.


The awkward moment when your father-in-law comes to your wedding in a bathing suit.


And on top of that, he's bored. Senility seems to have gotten a hold of him, which is not strange because I think he's already past 90.


It was a cute wedding, anyway. Both Pelque and Sandy were very happy.


The next day, a notification popped about Ken's death, confirming my suspicions that the man had passed the 90 days. Pelque retrieved his urn from the mausoleum and placed it next to Paraná's.

There were others notifications, too.


I hope that rumor involves Ruca and not someone else, Kilka! Pelque's sister never showed interest in other sims while under my command and was very happy with Ruca. 

The one who does show interest in people other than her husband is Sandy. If I left her in free will, even for a short time, she flirts with the first sim she meets, although she has a preference for Sri Honeycutt (that name 😆) the Performance Park's proprietor. For now I'm interrupting the interactions between them, but maybe I will let it progress, a little drama after several very monogamous houses will be fun to write about.


Her flirty trait seems to be her predominant one, rather than her evil trait which she demonstrates only with scary faces.

Speaking of scary faces... The cuteness! 


Pelque started training, maybe because of the insecurity his wife's flirty doings is giving him, but the reality is that he had too much time in his hands so I'm making him learn other skills.


Something that amuses me a lot, and even more to Sandy, is that her shows seem to be the perfect moments for townies to die.

Like here. I don’t remember if she was crying or laughing. I bet on the second option.


Or here.


The trend of deaths at her shows continues, even when I lost more than a week of game and had to switch computers when mine broke. My old man lent me his, which is an old potato but it works quite well with slightly lower graphics and in window mode.

The only bad thing, as I said, is that I lost more than a week from this save. Luckily I had externally saved the Skiillos right after Lileo’s birth so I didn’t lost her. (Well, it wasn't luck, I already knew my computer was in a bad shape, so I did frequent backups of them.)
 
I repeated everything that happened so far in this chapter in more or less the same order, including some deaths at Sandy's shows. Until Lileo’s birthday.


Being an only child, the girl has all the attention of her parents. Here, her mother is doing some magic tricks to celebrate her birthday, while her father plays the guitar to celebrate the moment.
 

That same night, Sandy maxed charisma. She only needs to max her career to complete that requirement and her Lifetime Wish.



Lileo likes to talk to herself on the mirror and practice different faces.
 

She also likes to meet new people and ask them what they think of the town and what they think needs to change. She is young but she already knows what she wants to do with her life.


Sandy had her first big show one day after she became an elder.


Of course, Grim could not miss the opportunity to take the life a spectator.
 

He and Sandy seemed to cross glances. Maybe there is some kind of pact that I am not aware of? Anyway, Sandy seems very happy with what her shows accomplish. This is a form of evil that I have not seen before.



Even her fans started telling ghost stories in the middle of her recitals. Everything is very mysterious, but it cannot be denied that her performances have become the talk of the town.
 

In the midst of the controversy, Sandy maxed out her career and became a Master Magician.


Meanwhile, her husband also became an elder. And he's not very happy with it.

 
A few days later it was Lileo's turn, who is now closer to her future.


She is now a charismatic girl, to go with friendly, easily impressed, light sleeper and the hidden makes no messes trait that she inherited from her mother.


 Although that hidden trait doesn’t include this type of mess. 


Because she makes a lot of those. Maybe Sandy is a little tired of this. Or maybe not.
