It’s done. Literally. I have everything done that I can possibly think of doing. With the exception of maxing Ashlie’s drama club, but I haven’t really been working on it, so I don’t know if that will happen. So.. this is a filler week. Mostly just me watching my sims do.. whatever they feel like doing.

She’s gorgeous. Even if she is just taking out the trash.

The whole family.

I catch dad playing with Angelina.

That reminds me. I need to fill the fridge with Vegetarian dishes for Ashlie.

Brayden being helpful…

… Nooooo! Already?? I should have taken pictures of his stats at this point, but I never got around to it.

Heidi… your toddler is eating next to a pile of trash.. and you’re painting. Priorities.

Time for a Birthday!

Angelina just looks confused.

What a cute picture. “Mommy, I can FLY!”

Watching TV with Dad.

More Daddy time.

Ashlie comes home in a mood.

… And so does Aiden.

This would be when I try to start doing the TV and radio channels achievement. (Spoiler: I don’t get it, because the TV and stereo aren’t upgraded and by the time I figure this out, the sim with handiness passes away…)

Yep, it’s that time again.

I’m not sure this counts as “Mommy time” .. LOL.

Watching TV while eating. As you do.

I get Brayden in on helping Ashlie.

Done! … Not very well.. but it’s done..

Ugh. Neighbors. I relate.

Heidi finally getting around to filling the fridge with vegetarian food.

Angelina gets into trouble while Mom cleans up after her.

Hey… the vegetarian food is supposed to be for your sister, Aiden…

More neighbor drama. At this point, the entire household hates Salim.

Playing with that clay. Again.

Listening to radio stations…

Ohh… noo. *sad face* (While Angelina makes a mess…)

Heidi tries pleading with Grim for just another day or two.

Spoiler: pleading failed. (So Heidi turns on the TV?) .. While everyone else is sad. I think Ashlie is at Drama club.

Nope. There she is, cheering up her baby sister. 🙂

Grim, watching Sitcoms in his down time.

.. Man I love these tables. Hint: if you buy everything off the table, they will usually spawn more stuff for you to buy in a couple hours.

Another collection complete!! .. I elect to leave it in Aiden’s inventory for the time being since it’s almost time to move houses anyway. (I plan to move them when the next generation starts.)

Homework time. Outside? .. Okay, Aiden.

Oh, cool! She gets an award from it, and I send everyone but the toddler to see it.

Aiden working on his Handiness skill. I’ve resolved to get him to max next generation so I can finish out his channels achievement.

… And yep.. I forgot to get a picture of her aging.

.. But she’s beautiful.

Oh, no, Heidi. I’m so sorry. I was busy trying to get her to see her last of two performances before this person stopped playing, and poor Heidi paid the price.

Guess Ashlie isn’t quite up to curry .. yet.

The clay.. making it’s rounds. Still.

Is this far enough away for your mood swing, there, Aiden? … Nope. Still tense.

It’s pouring.. so painting aliens on a rainy day is what Heidi decides to do. Spoiler: that’s a 5000 simoleon masterpiece when she’s done…!

Preparing for tomorrow’s birthday.

The clay.. it’s back in the living room, now.

I take the whole family out to dinner to celebrate the end of a generation.

Everyone gets something different. And I make sure they all take pictures… to start that collection.

Angelina gets bored and draws on her placemat.

… Heidi ends up with food poisoning. Poor gal.

And that’s it! I made it through the generation successfully. See you in the next post, where we’ll get everything going for the next generation!
