Now, as of last chapter, I had assumed the eldest (Jax) was heir. But I was apparently quite wrong, because I had forgotten the heir poll. Heir poll has been completed – and Coty won. So much for best laid plans. I guess I have two weeks more than I thought I did to play before we get a new Torch Holder. I did my best to get through as much of it in one play session as I possibly could… but it’ll take one more session before we’re through. So there’s that. Here’s what happened:

We start with the featured photo of Fetia cooking. Why is she cooking? Because she wants my hair to be as grey as hers is. LOL. Ok, so no fires happened.. but they could have. And that’s the problem.

What does Jax think about not being heir?

…. Let’s just say he doesn’t look impressed.

I’m not 100% sure Coty expected to win, either. However, taking a closer look at him, he’s not a half bad looking sim. I mean – he needs a makeover, but doesn’t every sim dressed by EA randomizers?

We immediately start working on Jesse’s current aspiration, which is painting, and he needs three more masterpieces. This isn’t one of them.

Okay, who broke the computer?? (And didn’t fix it!?)

Thanks, Tyson… but sorry, the heir poll is over. You had no chance.. sorry.

Tyson: “Awww… darn. … But ..what if I help out more?”

Me: Nope. it’s done.

I guess Jaxson is giving up on his career. He’s decided to teach himself guitar instead of cooking. LOL. (And he’s NOT good)

No idea why this neighbor woman just invited herself in.. but okayyy….

Then she decides to start a painting with a lump of clay. And never finish it. Thanks. I think. At least she takes the clay with her.

Happy New Years! Apparently only Jesse and Jax are interested in celebrating.

Hey! I see that embarrassed moodlet! -5 .. The future TH peed himself.

Okay, so this isn’t looking good for me. -5

Hurry, if you’re in the room, take cover!

They’re both miserably sick.. one has spots, the other has stripes.. and yet BOTH see the need to cook dinner. And neither is a chef. (AND there’s food in the FRIDGE, guys!!) I checked.

Jax’s turn. Maybe I need a second bathroom. -5

Tyson.. why are you in your brother’s bed?? .. NM I don’t wanna know.

Food party. While Jesse’s home. So I invite them in. Maybe the “kids” will stop cooking for themselves then.

Someone got sparkly.

… So, um.. yay? I turn off the celeb walk, because it’s just annoying.

Jaxson is apparently all about the arts these days. Now he’s learning painting. But at least he finishes it.

Hooray. Finally, a masterpiece.

Then, Coty gets this notification. I decide he would take the encore… so he gets a promotion. He’s unlikely to get another until he takes over the Torch.

However, he is obsessed with cooking lately. Which is good and bad. There seems to be a line for the stove in this family.

Then:

That’s one done! +5

That’s two! +5

And this one counts as four… because I hadn’t clicked on this one at all before. +20

In the interest of getting another milestone, I have him read three books for the first for Ren. Sim. +5

It’s Love Day – and since it’s likely Fetia’s last Love Day, I let Jesse go all out on celebrating it. We give her a Lily..

Romance her a bit…

… And take her to the restaurant on a date.

Which is where I notice that I never set aging for the other sims in the world to “On” .. how.. annoying. I fix it.

They have dinner, and complete a gold date.

Then, just because Sulani is gorgeous, I have them renew their vows.

Congrats, you two. Such a cute couple, and Fetia has been an amazing spouse.

I’ve run out of easy to get milestones. And I’m bored. LOL. So I start him on the knitting one. +5

See? He made a rug. Among other things. And he sells one on plopsy. +5

Tyson apparently likes METAL, too. LOL.

This is proof he did show off his sweater successfully. Right after this.. he glitches. And gets stuck as a “neighbor”. The only way I know of to fix it is kick him out of the house and invite him back in… so I start to do that.

… And while he’s out of the house.. Fetia dies. He gets invited back just in time to NOT have time to plead for her life with Grim. Sigh. Poor Jesse. The love of his life is gone. How sad. *frowny face*

I put her here, next to her bed, so Jesse can keep her close.

Apparently, Grim is a fan. ROFLMAO. Too funny. I couldn’t resist giving him an autograph.

And.. the second potion Jesse has needed tonight. He has some 20,000 points banked, plus another potion on the wall, and he should only need the one more potion I think. If that. I’m considering making Coty get his own darn points and keep the challenge difficult next generation by sending Jesse to his grave with all his points and potions…. but I haven’t quite decided yet. I still have 9 days to play… which is far better than the 21 I had when I started. Checking on our funds made:

Nope. Still at only 200k.
