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.


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.
