Chapter 7

Well, I finally got around to this family.  Sorry that I ignored them for two months.  Just needed a break.  A lot has happened in my games, software, hardware and cc.  Expect some changes.  I also can’t remember age spans of the animals so they are all at default with the exception of kitty, puppy and foal.  I set that at 2 days.

First things first, everyone’s clothes were inspected.  Mineral Ice and Comet had all outfits, but needed hair.  Roarke needed sleepwear.  Asterix and Marie got new elder wardrobes.   They both died and were brought back last update if you remember.  They are around 95 right now.  Cobalt was out, so he will get inspected when he is home.  I had to replace the counter islands because the round table was gone and all lights were gone.

Screenshot-36

The new widescreen monitor takes really, really wide shots.  I will definitely be needing to crop pics from now on.  Anyway, here is Comet’s new hair.

Screenshot-38

Wow and I cropped out a billion% of this pic.  Anyway, MI needed hair, but luckily I had her old one still.  Just was put in .package format so it needed replaced.

Screenshot-39

I got everyone busy first off.  MI found a laundry gnome to add to the collection.

Screenshot-40

The screen is so wide that I can get the whole graveyard in one pic along with a visiting Jill.

Screenshot-41

Cobalt was found and deemed appropriately attired.  I sent him off to fix a shower that was broken.

Screenshot-42

Danny found an aging dancer to play fetch with.

Screenshot-44

Mint Chip and Shooting Star paid a visit too.

Screenshot-47

The paintings of MI (left) and Roarke.  I love the cloaked bunny.

Screenshot-48

Caught ya!  Luckily TFB is off LOL

Screenshot-49

Comet:  Yeah, I forgot I have to go into business.  I’d like to quit my part-time science job.  Thanks.
Cruz:  I’m so totally hot.
Cascade:  Thanks for the attention strange Hoomin.

Screenshot-51

Roarke:  You really should start getting ready for prom, kid.
Cobalt:  Oh yeah.  Totally forgot.

Screenshot-52

Comet:  Well, I’m ready to leave.  Did you see the huge limo?

Screenshot-54

She got to take it by herself.  Why?

Screenshot-53

Marie re-died and Cruz aged up.  Yay?  No.
Cobalt:  Gee, Grams couldn’t you wait for me to get in the limo too?

Screenshot-56

I canceled out Cobalt’s mourn interaction and sent him with the motive mobile to prom.  Roarke, Cookie, Danny, and Wallflower were with Marie at the end.

Screenshot-61

Wallflower:  HOOMINS!  There is something wrong with me.

Wallflower aged up to elder a little while later.

Screenshot-63

Mineral Ice is trying to master her guitar to complete her LTW.  She is currently a level 3.

Screenshot-69

Screenshot-70

She came home without a RI or boyfriend…dammit.

Screenshot-79

UNLIMITED BABIES!!!!  Ahem.  I mean. Congrats Roarke!

Screenshot-64Screenshot-65

I guess it was after prom that Cruz aged up, but still I’m not happy about this.

Screenshot-84

Roarke sporting his new outfit, dancing to MI’s level 4 guitar skills.

Screenshot-85

Indigo came to visit while the hoomins were making a lullaby.

Screenshot-87

They also have started flirting and kissing everywhere they go.  I really need to find something for Roarke to do.

Screenshot-88

Peat Moss and Cyan are wanting more foals too.  Sorry, guys, but I’m trying to keep open some room so that Comet can do her LTW of the Fairytale Finder so that Cascade can have a mate.

I also got a pop up that Cruz and Oriole Bird were now flittering around each other.

Screenshot-89

Roarke:  No one, and I mean no one, steals from my baby girl.  Stay away from Cruz if you know what’s good for you!

Screenshot-90

Oriole:  I am a fully mature woman.  I will have that little puppy, Cruz, to play with if I so choose.  Back off, jerk!

Screenshot-92

Roarke:  Should I try and convince you to change your mind?

Screenshot-91

Oriole:  Don’t bother.  I’m not afraid of you.
Roarke: I warned you!

Screenshot-93

Oriole:  OMG!  What have you done?  You will pay for this!

Screenshot-95

Roarke:  Muahhahaha!  Now you’ll never be able to steal a taken man again!
Oriole:  *gurgle gurgle*  Last *cough* laughs on you.  *choke*  He’s with my sister too! *gasp*

Screenshot-96

Roarke:  Hahahaha!  That’s great.  I will go teach her a lesson right now.

Screenshot-98

Or not…LOL

Roarke rushed to get out of dodge before anyone caught him…

Screenshot-101

Meanwhile, Comet’s IF Buddy wanted to come out.  So, I let him/her.

Screenshot-99

Roarke:  No, Min.  Not now.  I have done unspeakable things today.  I must be alone right now.

Screenshot-104

One of the Parrot-Riffin kids called Comet and let her know just what her guy has been up to.  She headed over to stalk wait for him at his graduation.  She quickly reminded him to whom he belonged.

Screenshot-107

Comet:  You just remember who you belong too.  I’d hate to have to cry to daddy.

Screenshot-106

Comet:  So, now that you have been freaked out, warned and scared shitless, wanna be my boyfriend?
Cruz: Do I have a choice?
Comet:  Nope.
Cruz:  I’d love to be your boyfriend.

Screenshot-108

I was amused to see this.  Roarke and MI, after years and years together, are still in the high 90’s to low-100’s.

Screenshot-109

Comet:  Cruz, there is only one sure fire way to make sure you keep your pants zipped…Move in with me?
Cruz:  Won’t your parents be freaked out that you asked an adult they don’t know to  move in?
Comet:  Of course not. I’m the heir and I have to reproduce.  We just have to wait until I’m an adult too.

Screenshot-111

I have no clue why, but his LTW is the acrobat. That is going to be changed sooner or later.  He has 9 levels of the writing skill, 2 levels of photography and 1 athletic.  He does have a job in athletics.  He brought with him a laptop, Big Lemon, a camera and a guitar.  He was voted most likely to set his own house on fire.

Horse updates that I didn’t get shots of.

Cascade earned the Long Distance Racer as did Peat Moss.  One of them earned the Playful trait, since there are 4 earned playful traits and a non-destructive, I forgot who it was.

Danny got the adventurous trait.

Screenshot-112

I’m going to be very happy.  By the time I heard the “I’m pregnant” music and panned over, she had already done the maternity spin.

Stay tuned for further updates…probably tomorrow LOL  I’m really glad to be back playing them and the animals were really ignored this time around.  They basically stayed in mourning the whole time anyway.

Chapter 3.5: Pet

Been feeling kinda blah in the Vinson Department lately.  It’s a combo of (1) Having to reseed the whole town, and (2) Finally, seeing Roarke age up and move on.  He has been one of the best kids across any legacy/challenge of mine and probably the most fun to play.

Okay, enough about the hoomins.  Bring on the pets.

Screenshot-310
Sorry Orion, but no matter how much you wish it, that fence will not turn in to a jump for you.

Roarke reminds me of Cris, who also did his homework with the horses.

Screenshot-311
G-Fri:  We do not allow Paparazzi in the backyard.  Move along or feel my hooves on your back end.

Screenshot-318
Shooting Star is aging up to Elder on us.  I wish they would do this in the daylight.

Screenshot-320
He’s an old man now Sad smile

Screenshot-332
No big fanfare of pics.  I bawled while playing…I’ll probably start up again now.  Bye, Orion.  I ❤ U.

Screenshot-339
Okay, one more to show just how much Orion meant to everyone…except Indigo, who can’t figure out to go around the grave marker.

Screenshot-350
I though it was cute that Cookie wanted to sleep with G-Fri.  It took a red portrait for me to realize that once a dog goes in, they can’t figure out how to get out.  He had been stuck in there for quite a few hours.

Screenshot-386
Blossom came to take a nap.  Our newest addition is down on the right.  I’m waiting for my game to load now.  I can’t for the life of me remember her name.  (Old age sucks).

Screenshot-396
Good thing I started loading my game before starting this update.  Meet Grace.  She is for Milky Way.

Screenshot-405
Here is the herd minus one hiding Indigo.

Screenshot-408
Indigo was found, so we got a family photo op going on here.

Screenshot-422
Shooting Star:  I think the Gnome Removal Service needs to be called back out.

Screenshot-447
Okay, I had every intention of having Milky Way-Grace foals, but when the time came, Orion was visiting and the TFB option had his name as a possibility.  I went for it in the hopes of this result.  I know that genetically speaking, whether you’re hoomin or pet, ghosts don’t show up in the tree.  Basically Grace gave birth to a genetic copy of herself.  But..but I’m keeping him.  Meet Starweaver.

Screenshot-449
Everyone loves him.

Screenshot-466
Shooting Star:  You were supposed to be giving me a great-grandchild.  Not an uncle.
Grace:  *blush*  Oops.

Screenshot-459
If he wasn’t a ghost, he’d look like Mom.

Screenshot-477
Milky Way and G-Fri consoling each other at Alani passed on.

Screenshot-483
Everyone was on hand to wish Indigo a fond farewell.  I ❤ you Sad smile

Screenshot-489

Screenshot-492
Roarke is taking the deaths very hard.  Asterix had to hit him with the Moodlet Manager 3 times after Indigo went.

Screenshot-496
Grace:  Use your hooves, little hoomin.
Milky Way:  Hoomins don’t have hooves, you old nag.

Screenshot-499
Jack:  You are so cool!
Starweaver:  No, no.  You are so cool!

Screenshot-512
Not sure how much more of this I can handle in one day.

Screenshot-514
Jack picked a spot that I couldn’t get a good angle on.  Bye Jack.  I ❤ you too.

Screenshot-520
Time to make the Moodlet rounds again.

Screenshot-551
Grace:  I haz baby.  Pay attention to me!

Screenshot-553
This is Spring.  She later sold for $4,482.  This was the only attempt I had with her and Milky Way.

Screenshot-554
Spring:  Where is Mommy?  I want eat!
She’s right next to you goober.

Screenshot-555
Starweaver:  It’s my birthday.  Pay attention to me.   (I triggered it a couple of hours early.  I wanted to see it in daylight for once).
Joy:  I’m too heartbroken.

Screenshot-557
Not sure if it’s because his legs are curled for floating, but he seems smaller than the other horses.

Screenshot-559
I don’t like making predictions, but I think Joy will be the next one to go.  She is 3 days past the end of the dog lifespan and she also just hangs out here by the snakes with a broken heart.

Screenshot-561
Why is there a horse in the entryway?  Especially one that wants to pee?
Roarke:  Umm…Glitch?

Screenshot-9
To make up for the mass amount of horse pee in the house, Roarke came home one day with Honeycomb.

Screenshot-10
Honeycomb: Quit painting old hoomin.  I haz baby incoming.

Screenshot-12
Oh please have some type of markings.  I don’t have much more room.

Screenshot-13
He is too cute for words.  Meet Stardust.  He is only a potential heir right now.  He has markings and a horn, but no unicorn traits.

Screenshot-14
Aww.  Looks like he’s eating the purple star.

Screenshot-15
The family is currently running really super low on funds, so if anything we will breed to sell for a while.  The family went around and bought everything in town.  I don’t think there’s enough for their next meal.

Screenshot-88
Thought I would throw this in here.  Within a couple of minutes of loading the game, Marie finished Elderberry’s portrait.

I also found Roarke chatting with someone named Gretchen.  She’s got squinty eyes, square jaw and a huge head, but at this point beggars can’t be choosers.

Current Pet Tally:   Joy, Shooting Star, Cookie, G-Fri, Milky Way, Honeycomb, Starweaver and Stardust.

Next time, we move back to the hoomins.  Will anyone max their job levels..ever?  I think both Marie and Asterix have been at level 8 for decades and time is running out.  Roarke is just about to hit the max for after school criminal job.  He was grounded for prom, so I will force another one.  We will go on a mate hunt for Cookie.  Honeycomb will have babies.  and maybe a new heir?   Stay tuned.

Chapter 3

Previously, Roarke showed us that he’s not evil, even though he kept telling everyone that he was.  He spent a weekend with the animals and then got to stand in front of his birthday cake, where I left him for several days now.  Let’s jump right in and see how Roarke is doing with this aging up stuff.

Screenshot-217
So far so good.  He seems to be excited to get out and see the world through teenage eyes.

Screenshot-220
The Fire Safety Inspector barked her candle safety instructions.

Screenshot-221
She promptly backed up in preparation for an explosion.

Screenshot-223
Starting up the sparkle dance!

Screenshot-225
Roarke;  No!  No!  I changed my mind.  I want to be little and evil forever!  I don’t want to be big!

Screenshot-228
Indifferent study habits my fat white ass!  Roarke did his homework every single night without being compelled to.  Straight A’s throughout the childhood.  Never skipped school.  Jerks.  Although, daredevil is good 🙂

Screenshot-229
These are his age up clothes.  I apparently didn’t take makeover pics.

Screenshot-235
He is still trying to convince everyone that he is evil.

Screenshot-236
Marie:  I’m awake.  You’re awake.  Wanna learn to drive?

Screenshot-237
Apparently so considering he started skilling up on the run for the vehicle.

Screenshot-238

Screenshot-242
With Nicholas gone, I don’t have to keep a sharp eye on Alani anymore.  Well, not yet anyway.  She is mostly autonomous and she usually chooses some wacky shit to do.  This probably stems from 30 years of never leaving the inventing table and I really enjoy watching her finally getting to have fun and try new things.  It’s a toss up to which she likes more, the training dummy or chess.

Screenshot-250
Roarke:  …and that’s how you steal Napalm, dad!

Screenshot-251
Asterix: Yeah, but is there money in that kind of thing?

Screenshot-252
Roarke:  Yep, while you’re slaving away to make ends meet playing ball, I’ll be in a penthouse with bitches throwing themselves at me.

Screenshot-253
Asterix:  Hey now!  I got fans!  They throw themselves at me!

Screenshot-254
Roarke:  Um Bubba last week does not count.

Screenshot-255
Asterix;  Moving right along…How was your birthday?  Sorry I missed it.  They wouldn’t let me off work.
Roarke; It was fine, dad.  There’s still cake left too.

Meanwhile, Marie is trying to get a screenplay written for work.  Scribbling pad writing takes forever.

Screenshot-261
Asterix:  Alani always has the best gossip.

Screenshot-262
Asterix;  Did you know that Roarke thinks he’s evil?

Screenshot-263
Alani:  Why, yes.  He tells me all the time how he is going to be a Master Thief.

Screenshot-264
Asterix:  Why is he doing this?
Alani:  Same reason that I was chained to the inventing table, to unlock new things for the next generation.

Screenshot-277
Marie now has to wear a disguise to get away from the Paparazzi.

Marie:  Nope, just got promotion.

Screenshot-287
When we next see Alani, she is making use of the trampoline.  Pretty damn spry for a 90-something year old.

Screenshot-288

Screenshot-293
Yay!

Screenshot-296
The Nicholas Vinson Portrait Contest has ended.  Here is Marie’s entry.

Screenshot-297
Here is Roarke’s.  I actually couldn’t decide between them, so we kept both.

Screenshot-298
Asterix still has to be forced to go near the board breaking.

Screenshot-304
Had Alani drop some stuff off at the consignment shop.  She then chose to spend the rest of the day here.

Screenshot-327

Screenshot-329
Marie painted Asterix.

Screenshot-330
Roarke painted Mom.

Screenshot-331
Please ignore the fact that the furniture is off center now.  Hoping to start putting heir and spouse portraits on the wall from now on.

Screenshot-344
We all new it was coming, but we won’t say who for now.  I just was wanting to get more stuff done and it would have been my shortest chapter ever.

Screenshot-348
Showing Grandma his evil pose.

Screenshot-349
Asterix is going around “curing” everyone.

Asterix is showing off his mad skillz.

Screenshot-358
I want to go to prom…I don’t want to go with the boy.

Screenshot-360
Asterix:  You were 2 minutes late for school…on a field trip day! You are grounded.  No prom for you!

Ah shit.

Screenshot-361
This has got to be the first time this generation that I have seen negative marks.  This also marks the first time Roarke has ever been yelled at.

Screenshot-364
Roarke:  Do not mock the Tigger undies!

Screenshot-366
You two better stop that right now!
Roarke:  Trying to cook here…get a room!

Screenshot-368
Well, Jack, it’s safe to assume that you have forever before you need to be worrying about screaming babies.  You do know that sleeping with your eyes open is creepy, right?

Screenshot-372
Stupid immigration took from my bin, but the reason for this…first baby born in forever.  I finally let my town start boinking again.

Screenshot-373
Just because the sunset over the arena was pretty.

Screenshot-383
Asterix:  You are grounded.  No prom!
Roarke;  I wasn’t going.  I was heading out to pick up a Plutonium shipment.

I tried to get Asterix to let him off the hook, but he refused.  Alani and Marie were nowhere to be found.  I used debugenabler to force another one and this time I will hopefully have added some girls to the town.

Screenshot-387
Look what I can do!

Roarke swears they are all black market offerings.  I think he’s lying.

And then runs off to con Asterix in to checking out her fake glow in the dark undies.

You need to start getting promoted faster, boy.

Screenshot-480
I thought I deleted all the way earlier saves, but I found some hiding in an unmarked folder.  I might go and get Court’s grave if she’s dead in that save..if it’s even a save from that town.

I removed this shortly after and then bought a plot of land next to the house.  Everyone was transplanted there.

Screenshot-494
Marie got another promotion.

Screenshot-500
Roarke has to learn athletics for his after school job at the criminal warehouse.

Screenshot-506
Asterix is showing off his meditating while doing laundry.

Screenshot-507
Yay!

Screenshot-525
Time for these two to become real adults.

Screenshot-531
Asterix:  Yay!  One step closer to retirement.

Ignore brokenheart.  You’ll find out more later.

Screenshot-534
You don’t look any different.

Screenshot-536
You answer that phone and I’ll make you jog to work for a week.

Screenshot-537
Good choice.

Screenshot-544
Her after sparkle pics were horrendous.  She pouted like 2 year old.  I gave her a makeover.

Screenshot-548
Adult woohoo!

Just a couple of more..hang in there.

Screenshot-4
Roarke still skilling for work.  He’s almost maxed the job.

Screenshot-5
Asterix maxed Martial Arts.

Screenshot-8
I leave you with Roarke playing for great-great grandpa Gussie.   Evil my ass.    The rest of the cemetery is a work in progress.

I will try and have the pet side done tomorrow, so stay tuned for some tearful goodbyes and some welcome new additions.

Chapter 2.5: Pet

Someone asked if Roarke spent time with the horses.  I hade a nice LOL moment and here is the answer.

Orion starts off this chapter being cute.  I swear he’s almost 200 years old by now.

Screenshot-20
Orion:  Oh little hoomin.  I’m breathing down your neck.  Fear me!

Screenshot-21
Roarke: That tickles.
Orion: Must have carrots!  *sniff sniff*

Screenshot-22
Roarke: *giggle*  Okay, okay.  Quit tickling me!
Orion:  *nudge*
Screenshot-23
Get out the shot dumbass!  *note to self*  Pictures go inside the house.

Screenshot-24
Orion:  That, boys and girls, is how you con the idiot hoomins into giving you what you want!

Screenshot-27
Joy ages to elder.

Screenshot-30
Joy:  The hoomins should be ashamed.  I got old and no one threw me a party Sad smile

Screenshot-31
Shooting Star:  *Snigger*  Um, Indigo, the ball has eaten your legs.
Milky:  He’s too senile to realize it.
Indigo:  I’m not too old to call my dad over to bite you imbeciles.

Screenshot-32
Star:  I will stomp him before he gets a chance.
Milky:  Oh go hit up the salt lick you cranky bastard.
Indigo:  I am so loving the new house.

Screenshot-33
Star and Milky:  *blank stare*  But, we’ve been here forever now.
Indigo:  Oh really?  Hmm I just noticed.

Screenshot-67
Jack:  Look kid, everyone’s busy and I need food.
Roarke:  I hear scarabs are tasty.  Want some?

Screenshot-74
Roarke:  Who’s a good widdle puppy?  Who is?  Joy is!
Joy:  Hoomins are right morons, boys and girls.

ORION

Screenshot-75
Okay, you’re stats are dropping at an enormous rate.  I’m here to make the social one climb.  Get ready for love.

Screenshot-76Screenshot-77Screenshot-78Screenshot-79
Screenshot-80
Roarke:  I’m evil even if I do love you, Orion.
Orion:  You’re evilness pleases me, little hoomin.  You’re jewel thief plans are going to be a wonderful addition.  Let me bless your future.

Screenshot-81
Roarke:  Thank  you, Orion.  You’re a good boy!

INDIGO

Screenshot-82
I guess it takes more than a week or two to get out the new house smell apparently.

Roarke:  I’m an evil jewel thief.  I am taking time from my busy Saturday to make my accomplices happy.
Indigo:  Little Hoomin is whacky in the head.

Screenshot-85Screenshot-86Screenshot-87Screenshot-88
Roarke:  Please don’t let on that I’m not as evil as I am supposed to be.
Indigo:  I’m drowning in love and because of it, you’re secret is safe with me.

Star:  Yay, it’s finally my turn!

Joy and Cookie will not sleep anywhere else.

Screenshot-159
Indigo:  We love sprinklers, boys and girls.
Girl Friday:  But cats don’t like water.
Indigo: And I don’t like cats, which is why I like sprinklers.

*Note to self*  Milky Way was at the training center and didn’t get his pampering.

Screenshot-197

Screenshot-271
That is a blatant hint if ever I saw one.  I will start searching the world for mate for you.

Well, lookie at that. the next pic in the horse department has a teen Roarke that you haven’t met.  So, we will continue on at a later date.  The boys (and girl) have been kinda neglected lately.  Luckily, Roarke had a lot of wishes for the animals and most of the dog interactions were autonomous and got them from red during Nicholas’ death all the way to green.  So, the question is, will we find a Unicorn mate for Milky Way or will we have to adopt a regular horse just like him.  Will I ever get around to finding that special canine for cookie, or is his line going to die out.  Find out next time.

Chapter 2

So, I am looking through the pics I took, and I have decided to cut down on pic taking.  I went seriously overboard (I have 600!!! between hoomins and horses, but it would get us right up to Roarke’s YA birthday).  I just love this generation.  It’s the best one yet.  Marie and Asterix (aside from the woohoo misadventures) are one of my favorite couples in a game of mine.  Roarke is seriously amazing.  He is evil, but he’s so good that I keep forgetting.

Anyway, I will try to only give you highlights, but I always forget and go overboard.

Screenshot-2
Roarke:  Great-Great-add more greats, Grandpa Gussie is Awesome!

Screenshot-5
Clarissa:  You cannot hide from me!  I will get you eventually!
Zenyatta #75:  No, no you won’t.  I’m just going to sit here until the ghosties come and scare you away, sissypants!

Screenshot-6
Roarke:  Seeing you makes me happy, Grandma!

Screenshot-8
Roarke: When I get big, I’m going to have lots of money.
Alani:  Really, how are you going to do that.

Screenshot-9
Roarke: I figure there’s tons of cash in robbing houses.

Screenshot-10
Alani:  You can’t do that!  No grandchild of mine is going to spend their life in jail!

Screenshot-11
Asterix came home from work and was eavesdropping.  At least he now realizes what he’s going to be in for later on.

Screenshot-12
Roarke:  My ultimate goal is to be a jewelry thief!

Screenshot-13
Roarke: ..with a side order of hacking!   I just hope somebody does their job and we get computers unlocked soon.

Screenshot-14
Roarke: When I finally get big and strong, I am going to steal the most ultimate thing ever.
Alani:  What would that be?  Some unsuspecting girls heart?

Screenshot-15
Roarke: Girl?  Ewwww!   No a Rocket!

Screenshot-16
Alani:  Just don’t forget to make time for babies in that busy schedule.  The EPIC must go on!

Screenshot-17
I think being a jewelry thief would be way cooler than being a boring old daddy.
Asterix (still eavesdropping): I heard that runt!

Screenshot-19
Nicholas has been in the hot tub ever since I updated to the fixed woohooer.  I think he’s pouting.  Who knew that at 100 and something, he could still woohoo 9 times a day like a Boss.  Alani switches between the training dummy and chess.  I really get the feeling that she likes being upright for a change.

Screenshot-35
Jack:  At least his form is getting better.
Joy:  Who cares about that. I’m waiting for Punch to fight back!

Screenshot-37
Cue some doggie love.  They’re so cute.

Screenshot-39
Joy: I’m going to do something adventurous and look out the window.  I want utilize my newest trait.
Jack:  ..but I want to gaze into your eyes some more. *pout*

Screenshot-40
So strange how Jack did this.  Hence why the doggie portion made it to the hoomin side.

Screenshot-42
Asterix doesn’t care too much for the boards, but I make him do them anyway.

Screenshot-44
It’s been a long time since we saw Grimmy last.  Poor little Roarke was the only hoomin on hand for now.

Screenshot-47
I’ve seen sims begging for life.  I’ve seen Grimmy hug pets.  I have never seen a Sim thank and shake hands with Grimmy when he collects them.  A very ancient Indigo looks on.

Why are you asking for Grandpa Cris’ autograph?  How lame is that?

Screenshot-58
Marie:  I’m artistic too!  How funny!  I am painting in my spare time now.
Cris:  How many masterpieces have you painted?
Marie; Erm..well none yet!   But we still have all of yours around the house.

Gussie likes to come and visit the bookshelf.

Autonomous inventing.

Marie painted this memory for Roarke.

Screenshot-62
Marie:  Wow, I’m a bookworm too, Ancestor Gussie!

I didn’t realize she shared so many traits with the earlier generations.

Screenshot-64
Roarke invented a dog toy.  Then never touched the inventing table again.

Screenshot-65
He started on potions, but it got close to bedtime.  He never went back.

Screenshot-66
Asterix jams on the piano when he’s not skilling the athletics and martial arts.

It’s a battle of EPIC proportions.  In the left corner, we have Alani Vinson.  In the right corner.  Little Roarke Vinson.   Who will win?  No one knows.  Everyone, grab your pillows!

Roarke:  I forfeit.  I can’t concentrate with Ancestor Gussie staring at me like that.

Asterix:  Look hunny, food magically appeared!
Marie:  Funny!

Mark this on the calendar boys and girls.  The Vinson’s had their first family dinner in who knows how long.

Screenshot-108
Asterix:  The awesomeness that was your pancake making has given me naughty thoughts!

Teaser alert:

Screenshot-112
Why are you all sparkly, Mr. Roarke?
Roarke:  You’ll have to stay tuned for the horses update to find out, silly!

Screenshot-116
He has a skill point in just about everything for his age..except fishing.   Well, here is him trying out painting.

Screenshot-117
Now that they realize that I won’t stop the flirt anymore now that the mod is fixed, they revert back to the real them.  The days is 50% work, 5% other stuff and 45% flirt;

Screenshot-119
You don’t look happy to have finished your first painting.
Roarke:  I hate happiness.  I put all of mine into that painting.  Now let’s burn it.

Screenshot-120
Holy crap guys, should I change your name to Cleaver?
Roarke: If you start calling me Beaver…I will kill you.

Screenshot-125
Roarke’s happy went through the roof when Alani autonomously made his favorite dinner.

Screenshot-129
Roarke:  The happy has got to stop.   I hate happy!  I’m evil I tell ya.

Screenshot-133
Asterix had to get his paint on too.  LOL   I love how something so simple made him so very happy.

Screenshot-134
Roarke:  Now we are getting somewhere.

This is his life.  He goes to school, does his homework, eats and then paints most of the night.  When stats fall, they all go for a ride in the mobile.

Screenshot-135
Pretty soon it was time for Asterix’s first game.  The whole family went to cheer him on.

Time for a family celebratory dinner.
Roarke:  Why?  Why do we have to do this?  We drove in the magic van that maxes our stats.  I want to paint.

Later on that night…..

Yet, another shared trait.  Marie is best friends with all the ancestors now.

Screenshot-150
Jill: Your mom is amazing!
Roarke: Yeah, I know.

Screenshot-154
Ohh..first one!  You have no clue how excited I am to get this one.

Screenshot-155
Bear:  I iz cute!

My nickname from hubby is Bear.

Screenshot-158
Okay, lads..erm and ladies.  The First Annual Gnome Volleyball Tournament starts now.
Bear:  I’m the token spectator here to pretend I care.
Clarissa:  I don’t know about you dumbshits, but there’s no way in hell I’m lobbing that horse ball.  I refuse to be smooshed by a planet sized ball.

So ends the Volleyball Tournament.

Screenshot-163
Clarissa:  Here, hoomin, hoomin hoomin.  I got something for you!  It will only hurt for a second.

Screenshot-164
Roarke: I gotta hurry and do my homework.
Why is this?
Roarke:  I have a date in the bathroom.
I have no intention of asking what that might be.

Screenshot-165
Roarke:  There is no end to my coolness.

Screenshot-166
Roarke: I’m practicing my, “Hey, look how hot I am” look for when I get to be a teen.

Screenshot-167Screenshot-168
I see you’re back to acting your age.

Screenshot-169
I sent little Roarke to explore the catacombs.

Screenshot-170
Marie waited outside like a good mom to give him a ride home.

Screenshot-171
I missed the next pop up about the bear.

Screenshot-172
Screenshot-174
Roarke:  When I steal my rocket, Mom, I’m totally going to blow that stupid bear up.

Side note*  I had no clue the Motive Mobile fixed singes!

Screenshot-175
Yay, Asterix.

Screenshot-184
Poor kid is traumatized by that bear.  It did give him the oomph to finish this painting.

Screenshot-185
Now that is appropriately evil.  I love it.    I have not sold any of his paintings and only one of Marie’s.

Screenshot-189
Our first Nicholas visit and he went to his favorite spot and stayed there until it was time to go back to the grave.

Screenshot-190
Yay!!!   His LTW is to be a Superstar Athlete, so this is quite handy.

Screenshot-192
Asterix: I had a great night at work and now I have naughty thoughts.
Marie: Daddy is in the hot tub, so we can’t go there.

Screenshot-193
The shower it is then.

Minor pets I didn’t want to add to the horse/dog section.

This world has almost 0 spawners.  It sucks ass.  When using the collection helper, I found 3 total bugs.

Anyway he started wishing for kids things finally.

Screenshot-208
New toy lads!
Clarissa:  I want to go first!
Inventor gnomes:  We can’t go, we’ll rust! *sob*  We want to slide too!

The lone lizard on the world was the Komodo dragon.

Which leads us to this.  It took 216 pictures to get here..and half of them were horses!  Yay for Horsies!  I’m off on a 200-mile trek looking for Final Fantasy XIII-2.  I am hoping to get all legacies caught up and stored for quick update clicking.  I had 170+ hrs in FF XIII, I’m preparing now for a repeat with the new one.

We will have our teen years next time.  Until then please do not hate me for not sticking with the toned down update.  I totally went overboard…again…but I love Roarke.  He’s the most unevil evil person ever.
