House 012 Chapter 5 < | > House 013 Chapter 1

First, we check on our house goals:

House 012 Building Goals:
3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom home worth at least $50k Simoleons (56k)
House 012 Generational Goals:
Complete the Friend of the World aspiration
Have The Drifter Declare another Sim an Enemy
-Then raise the relationship between The Drifter and their Enemy to BFF
Have The Drifter Engage in and WIN 5 fights
-Each win must be with a different Sim opponent
Produce and raise The Heir to the Young Adult life stage (teen)

And here’s hoping I can finish this house’s two weeks in this one post. I plan on taking pictures only when I need to. Like when Sione tries to burn down the house by cooking. Spoiler: no fire.

… Or when the dog is being especially cute.

I start working on Jax’s level three skill, we’re going for Video Gaming for a change. I don’t have a spot for a chess board in this house.

Plus, it’s fun for the whole family.

Lyric.. I swear, girl. Why you gotta break everything..

Um.. sure, Jax. Work on Fitness all by yourself. .. But what exactly are you wearing?!

Winterfest arrives. Even the dog appears to be participating.

Presents. And no, I paid no attention to what anyone got. I am pretty sure I didn’t even bother to sell any of them. So this is just for the sims.

Chattin’ with his little sis.

Tracey decides she wants to be a bear. Okayy then.

Gonna make it hard to play video games with the family with those big paws, but whatever suits ya.

Prissy learning her last trick -playing dead.

Gonna miss this doggy. She’s never once run away, or gotten so dirty she needed a bath, and never needed a vet visit. It’s unheard of. Gotta be some sort of record.

This would be when I’m trying my hardest to get puppies. Tried for like five-six days, finally gave up. She kept refusing – no matter which guy dog I picked. (This particular one was Jim.)

Jax.. what exactly are you planning, there? I mean, other than cooking when you’re not supposed to be.

Don’t think I’ve ever made homemade treats for dogs before. Figured I’d try it.

Birthdays! Sione goes first. (While his son completely ignores the event.)

Oh, NOW you turn around. Little late, kiddo.

Then it’s Lyric’s turn. Would you look at those wrinkles. Not a good look on you, sweetie.

I send Lyric to take care of the garden… and Jax decides to help all by himself. Okayy…

Flower Bunny shows up.. and we just have to fight her again. (I say her, because later I see her in the relationship panel. Definitely a girl.)

Another win. That we didn’t need. But it makes Lyric feel better to kick that fluffy butt.

Is it me, or is the dog getting a little fat? (This is only the second homemade thing I’ve made her)

Time for another birthday.

Congrats, Tracey. *smile*

She’s pretty. Not sure about the outfit, though.

Love Day. Somehow calculations went wrong, so Jax will start in the Summer. Which is okay, too.. I think. So long as he doesn’t roast to death.

We tell Jax to work out, then Mentor him. Doesn’t make him get much in the way of skill, but Level 2 is still something, I guess.

You ready for this? .. I know I sure am!!

Blow out those candles, and make sure you make a wish, there, Jax.

… *face palm* I knew that last trait wouldn’t be the greatest. It had to be, what with all the rest of his rolls being good. I guess I’ll have to get a doggie next gen, too. Just what I needed. (sarcasm)

.. And now for the final stats. Here’s Lyric’s panels.

Proof of that aspiration.

+5?!? That’s definitely a record in my game. And she’s making SO much money. I’m jealous.

… And that’s without really trying for skills.

She’s a pretty good sim.. just too bad I didn’t get as attached to her as I would have liked. The house may have been more fun if I had.

Final funds and family. Somehow the dog isn’t even an elder yet..?

Final house value. .. and I realize I need to head back in-game in and upload the house….

And that’s it! See you in House 13! (And I have to confess, I broke my rule. I was so bored with House 12 I looked up the rules for 13 before playing this two weeks. It at least told me that the next house should be less boring. I think.)
