2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom home worth at least $40k Simoleons
House 014 Generational Goals:
Complete the Renaissance Sim Aspiration on Journey
Complete a second Aspiration of your choice on Journey
Produce and raise The Heir to the Young Adult life stage
*Note* Heir must take the Kleptomaniac trait before YA stage!

So I load in, and Jun has just gotten home from work. I look around the property, because – quite honestly, I’ve forgotten where I was, even though I read the last chapter over before hopping back into this game.

Wow.. that’s an interesting goal. And.. as in earlier houses, Journey is the only sim I can control. So, first thing I did was take some pictures of Journey’s starting stats.

It’s been so long since I played this, I have no idea what I did towards the goals so far.. But I’m pretty sure the house value was complete by this point.

Apparently it’s Springfest.. Because Elissa is having a blast…

Jax has by now completed all of his goals, and I’m feverishly trying to beat the clock to have him finish his servo before his death.

Elissa grows up. What a cutie!!

Mama helping Journey and Elissa with projects. Pupper is helping, of course.

Ethan is our last toddler, but not for much longer. I can’t wait.

I add a playground to the back of the house.

… And a graveyard. 🙁

Elissa apparently doesn’t care that it’s her little brother’s birthday. Popcorn > Zombie Cake.

Another cutie! What a great family.

I finally give the two of them room upgrades. This is Ethan’s…

And this is Elissa’s.

I also added a science table for the kids in the hallway.

We adopted a new dog, Chester, so we can have a new puppy.. and this is the result. Pippa (the puppy) will be going with us to the next house.

Mom ages up to elder. 🙁 Time is running super short for Jax, and the servo is still not dead. His life’s work. Uncompleted.

Journey’s Teen birthday arrives….

… And she rolls Perfectionist. um.. okay?

She’s still gorgeous, though. I definitely will need to give her a makeover, though. LOL. And typical teen, immediately pulling out her phone.

Mom helping Journey on her school project.

The other two kids had to do their own.

Disaster strikes. Fidget is officially gone. She will be terribly missed.

I laughed so hard at this picture. Apparently Journey is astounded by the holiday meal.. and someone must have dropped something nasty in Adrienne’s food .. or something. What a face, though.

Proof that it is, indeed harvestfest. Those darn gnomes….

Mom is working on the fireplace, while Elissa grows up. Ethan was not far behind.

Also: by this point, Jax had died. Spoiler… he didn’t finish his Servo. But he had been literally MOMENTS from finishing it. I was so mad, I brought him back as a ghost, and made him finish it. Journey will take the Servo with her (including paying the penalty for it).. as a tribute to all the hard work Jax put into it. I immediately had him go back to the netherworld once it was complete. No harm done…. just a minor cheat.

This photo is to prove that they all made it to Winterfest. You can also see Ethan and Elissa grown – and they’re both still cute as heck.

Sadly, that night, alone.. Adrienne quietly joined the group in the graveyard. Luckily, I am still allowed to control Journey and her siblings for the rest of the generation.

Journey on her last day in the house. She will owe 6880 simoleons for the servo and robotics table to activate it.. as well as 200 for bringing the dog along.

Proof that I did, indeed, finish the house. Also: a couple shots of the finished build:

I did not, however, remember to take final shots to prove that Adrienne and Jax finished their goals.. but they did. By this time, I was just glad to be done with the house. See you for next house!

We are finally getting somewhere on the goals.

Young Elissa has finally aged up.

And it’s Winterfest! Journey, our heir, is chatting with Mom, who doesn’t seem impressed.

Journey is off to play, while Elissa gets potty trained.

Also: Welcome baby Ethan!

Sadie being cute. I just had to take this picture.

Journey loving on Fidget. Sooo cute!

Ethan finally grows up to toddler. For a while, we’re going to have three toddlers. Yikes.

Breakfast time!

Mama is making the fireplace safe.

Finally! Journey’s birthday!

Apparently, Journey is still not sure about Mom. What a face.

Journey, and what a cutie she is. Super happy with the way she looks.

Journey’s room makeover:

Then, Ethan’s new room:

And, Elissa’s..

See you next time!

Author’s Note: While writing the next post and sorting screenshots, I discovered a few pictures I completely missed from before this post. Adding them here between separators.

---

Fiona passes away. 🙁

Sadie and Adrienne come out to mourn.

Later in the day, I get the notice that it’s graduation day.

The hat toss goes off without a hitch.

Geek Con shows up while we’re at graduation, and I finish that up and send them immediately to Geek Con. Adrienne sweeps the hackathon, netting us some cash and another computer.

… While Jax wins the Ultimate Gamer Test. First time I’ve ever had a sim win that one.

And with that.. back to our regularly scheduled post….

---

Well, at least we finally have a start on the house.. and the careers. Jax got hired in at level 7 of his career, Adrienne was hired at level 8 of hers.

Pregnant Adrienne washing a filthy, grown-up Fidget.

Oh yeah – and it’s Harvestfest. Even Fidget isn’t happy to see the gnomes.

A little girl named Journey is born. 🙂 Welcome to being a Drifter, Journey…. you have a busy life ahead of you!

I finally start decorating the house.. here’s what I did to the kitchen.

… And we have a little bit of a master bath, too.

Later, I really spend some time with the house (this is what the living room now looks like)

The mostly complete kitchen…

The dining area…

Journey’s room…

And, finally, we welcome our second baby.

Still busy with school, so goals haven’t happened. Yet.

Taking Sadie to the vet. She had turned elder before I could breed her, and that was not a good idea in my book. So I aged her down.

This is pretty much what I see all the time. Take a potion, do school work. Do school work, go to class, take another potion or sleep a little… Really boring game play!

They’re still living on the lawn, too.

Presentations for the LAST WEEK!! of school completed!

Tried to adopt a pet, but not ONE of the potential adoptees were male and small dog with decent markings. So I made one. Meet Sam.

Yay! Puppies?? .. Not yet, apparently.

It’s a terribly hot summer, so I build them a pool to cool off.. and Sadie is the first to use it. She LOVES this thing.

.. Finally!!

Welcome to the challenge, little Fidget! He’s got two different color eyes, and some really cute markings.

Chatting. Sister Tracy keeps calling and visiting, but we don’t really have time for her, unfortunately.

I decide it’s time to try to save some money. I have them make a Gardener and a Cleaner bot, which I’ve never used before, so this should be fun.

Then, the final term grades come in…. 🙂

(No idea why Adrienne’s portrait disappeared.

Finally!.. As a celebration/graduation present, I build them a big – and very empty – house. Outside pics to follow:

.. So I haven’t done any of the goals. We’ve been busy with school. We’ll get to them… eventually.

Jax is now at the top of the eSports Gamer after school activity. He’s a “Captain” now, which I believe entitles him to entrance straight into the eSports branch of the career. We’ll see when I join. Meanwhile, I’m going to keep him in his club, and keep working on his “Academic” aspiration.

This is what I get to watch between these two.. day in and day out. Lots of studying.

And LOTS of filthy dogs. I just don’t have time to bathe all of them each day.. and they love rolling in puddles.

Winterfest. And there’s a vampire here, too. Joy. We don’t get much in the way of presents, but at least we try for them.

Prissy looks as confused as I am. Why is Father Winter taking a shower?? In fact.. he took three. And the vampire is on our computer. Why? Who knows.

Father Winter finally leaves. In his pink pants and hoodie. That’s hilarious. And the vampire still won’t leave. I end up locking the computer to make him go.

The “house” is a complete disaster. Even the maid can’t keep up with it. Adrienne is reacting to stepping in poo, not sitting next to Jax, by the way.

Prissy gets her very first vet visit. She doesn’t look happy about it.

Oh, no… 🙁

RIP, Prissy! The whole family mourns…. At least until the final term grades come in.

… Impressive. And it also explains why the dogs are always a mess. If you’re keeping track, you know that Jax has four classes left, and Adrienne has 8. I let Jax take only two for the next term so he can spend his time on his aspiration.

The flower bunny shows up, throws flowers everywhere, and is generally ignored. There’s more schoolwork to do.

Oh. Ooops. Sorry, Jax. At some point in the next week, Adrienne does the same thing. But since we don’t have an oven – no cake.

Prissy’s fist haunting. Jax is too busy catching up on sleep. Adrienne is on the other side of the screenshot..

… studying. Fun, eh?

Jax needs to go to guest lectures. Three of them, so we spend quite a bit of time in this week at the college. Which gives Adrienne the opportunity to eat some “real” food for a change.

Aww. Poor Jax.

It’s Neighborhood Brawl day.. plus this old lady was being annoying.. so Adrienne took her down a peg or two.

*frown* … I guess it’s Lucky’s time, too.

… And Adrienne stepped in more poo. LOL… Good timing?

..This means there’s one term for both of them. And Jax only has two classes left. He finished his guest lectures and is almost done with tutoring students. So I think we may be able to finish Academic this next term. See you next time!

House 013 Chapter 2 < | > House 013 Chapter 4

House 013 Chapter 1 < | > House 013 Chapter 3

First, we remind ourselves what our goals are:

House 013 Building Goals:
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom home worth at least $100k Simoleons
-Must include a designated gaming room
House 013 Generational Goals:
Achieve Level 10 of the Gamer branch of Tech Guru on Jax
1st place in Pro tournament for both Hillock II and Sims Forever on Jax
Achieve Level 10 of Start-Up Entrepreneur branch of Tech Guru on 2nd sim
*Note* All sims are Controllable in this house!
Produce and raise The Heir to the Young Adult life stage

Then, we introduce Adrienne better:

Her original Aspiration was Painter, but I changed it to Computer Whiz, since that’s what she will be doing.

Then, we note that the featured photo is a successful proposal. At the romance fest. Which she invited us to within moments of us arriving home from first meeting and kiss. Handy, that.

Wedding photos. I love the heat of the moment weddings, really. Much better than just eloping.

We get them back home, and let them have a little fun.

The next morning, Jax finds out he was accepted to college on a full ride scholarship to the distinguished Computer Science degree I was hoping to get him into. The degree itself will not help him in the gamer career, but it will allow him to do two things. One, skill up his programming skill as well as take video gaming electives.

And two.. join the Esports team – which WILL help him in the gamer career! At least, it’s supposed to. I’ve never tried doing this before, so this is pretty much all gotten from google research.

Adrienne’s first task.. skilling up programming. And video gaming. Gaming because each level of gaming earned in this house (by anyone!) gets us 1000 simoleons. Which is really nice.

Jax, on the other hand, starts in on studying and doing homework. Classes start the next day, or so I think. Turns out that they don’t start until Tuesday.. but whatever. That just gave him extra time to work on his term papers. Yes, he had to do TWO of them this term!

I finally get a better shot of Lucky. Love the huge ears.

I see sparkles!!

She got Dad’s ears and Mom’s coloring. Very cute, Fiona!

A couple minutes later…

Sophie follows in the sparkle party. She looks like her mama in body type, but I have no idea where her color comes from. I may end up trying to breed her later.

We get invited to the Geek Con, and, while Jax is in classes, we accept for Adrienne. She wins the Hackathon, which gets us some cash and another computer.

… Then fails miserably at the Ultimate Gaming Test. At least she has fun doing it.

We then take advantage of the rocket and the skill boost to work on her Rocket Science skill until the fest ends, and Jax comes to try the Gaming Test. He also fails, and then has to run off to his Gaming Team practice.

This dark photo is commemorating coming home with a promotion.

Good job, buddy! No bonuses for this one, though, so we’ll have to just keep working.

Another dark photo of Prissy in the bathroom that has no lights yet…

Because she’s old now. *frowny face* .. That’s ok, she already had her quota of puppies.

The rest of the week is fairly mundane, lots of homework for Jax, and Skilling like crazy for poor Adrienne. I start to get a little worried when she doesn’t have all four skills at level four by the time I wanted her to.. but I sign her up for scholarships and uni anyway – and cross my fingers.

She gets in, also to the distinguished program, and also with full ride on scholarships. In fact, she has more in the way of scholarships than Jax, which surprises me a little bit.

After Monday’s final exam, Jax’s grades come in and we sign him up for three classes plus a Video Game elective just like last time.

We’ve got about 9k in the bank at this point, which means that traveling isn’t a problem, so I send them to the library for the afternoon. Luckily, both were pretty good on their needs. (Although Jax has had to keep using sleep potions to keep up this past week, and he’s about out of points – so the next week should be interesting!)

Adrienne does all four of her homework for the start of classes. She also wastes time by chatting to this random person across the table, but since she gets her work done, I don’t complain.

Jax is pretty much done on what he can do at this point – and he needs satisfaction points, so I have him do some Research & Debate to get him past the first tier of his Academic Aspiration. I don’t know whether I’ll finish it with all the stuff he has on his plate, but we’ll give it a good try.

I’ll leave this post off here because I, quite honestly, played much farther than I meant to (and ended up with two posts instead of one) – but I was having fun. Here’s a shot of what the “house” looks like by the end of two weeks. I’m keeping it as a Tiny Home for the skill boosts, and excuse the mess in the garden. It’s pretty haphazard, and plants went wherever they landed when they got planted. They’ve taken turns caring for it as much as possible – but let’s be honest, they’re at the point now where they just don’t have time. So I hired a gardener and a maid – because they can afford it – I think. I’d like to get them Free Services, but neither can afford it at this time. The lot is always a disaster which poor Neat Adrienne hates.. but time to clean is very limited, hence the scheduled maid. Over the weekend, we gave all four dogs baths because they were in dire straits cleanliness wise, but nobody, luckily, got sick. Lucky did run away at one point, but he came back within a day – to barely any welcome because Jax was at practice and Adrienne was busy. Anyway, enough blabbing from me. See you next time!

House 013 Chapter 1 < | > House 013 Chapter 3

House 012 Chapter 6 < | > House 013 Chapter 2

First, we get a look at our brand new goals:

House 013 Building Goals:
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom home worth at least $100k Simoleons
-Must include a designated gaming room
House 013 Generational Goals:
Achieve Level 10 of the Gamer branch of Tech Guru on Jax
1st place in Pro tournament for both Hillock II and Sims Forever on Jax
Achieve Level 10 of Start-Up Entrepreneur branch of Tech Guru on 2nd sim
*Note* All sims are Controllable in this house!
Produce and raise The Heir to the Young Adult life stage

Wow.. that’s quite a goal. Hopefully that will keep me more entertained than the last house did! .. And we get to control all sims?? I must have died and gone to heaven!

Next, we run Jax through his makeover…. and I must say, he needed one!!

Then, we plop him onto his new property, strip him of all his worldly goods and money (including a Ducky he had apparently been hoarding since childhood), and take a look at his starting stat panels:

Then, our last – and possibly scariest task before starting this house: rolling for the lot traits:

Okay. Well that could have been a LOT worse.

Finally. It’s time to start. First order of business: decide whether he’s going to college or getting a job instead. Of course, I suppose he could do both… but am I willing to try to work AND do his coursework? .. Probably not. Also: per his traits, he will be getting a dog at some point. Hm… he did roll for Academic….. ARGH. I go to bed to do some major thinking before starting this tomorrow.

I wake up.. and the first conclusion I’ve come to overnight, is our favorite little Prissy is going to come with us on this journey. I’ll have to pay a 200 dollar pet fee before I buy anything else, but Jax is so happy to have a pet, I couldn’t resist. So.. welcome to house 13, Prissy!

So, this challenge starts out SLOWWW.. because the only thing I can think to do to get money right away is collecting… and barely anything is up. I plant the sage I find, hold on to the one frog I found, and head home to say hi to Mom. I don’t figure she and Dad have much time left.

I do manage to get enough to pay for Prissy’s fee, and get her a food bowl. Jax, however, is scrounging for food still, and peeing himself. We have literally a garden, a dog, a mailbox, a dog food bowl and a squeaky toy Prissy found while hunting.

She seems pretty happy with it, though. So that’s good.

Another day, another visit with family. And more collecting. Collect collect collect. Plant what I can, sell the rest. Still, poor Jax is struggling.

This random fella walking down the street became my target for leveling Jax’s mischief, because I want to get level 3 in rocket science, mischief, robotics, and programming before signing up for university. I figure mischief I can do through socials, the other three.. I’ll make him read books from the cheapest book “shelf” I can buy.

… And because I have no idea how long Prissy will still be an adult, I change out one lot trait very briefly (two days) for the Dog Hangout. I picked out this brown and white mutt named Lucky for her mate, and “luckily” they seem to be getting along better than Prissy has with any other dog she’s been introduced to.

Yay! Finally, we got it to work. Puppies are on the way! .. And at about this time, my game started being very weird. The dogs kept leaving lot and I couldn’t get them to come back with the whistle. I ignored it for a while, but then I really got concerned and looked up how to fix it. Apparently it’s a bug – or it could be because I have no home for them yet. I traveled to get them back and went straight back home. Didn’t count it as actual travel because I was just doing it to fix a bug.

All that reading and skilling takes it’s toll.. Poor Jax has about had it with the bench sleeping. I had to spend most of the money he’s gotten from collecting on the books to skill, which was annoying, and then I saved up for 1000 so I can travel. Still, nothing on the lot other than the bookshelf, cooler, and the stuff I mentioned before.

The puppies are here!! This one is Fiona…

… And this is Sadie. I love them both. One has a troublemaker trait, the other is Hairy like her Dad.. so we have hair piles EVERYWHERE .. All. The. Time. I can’t drag them to the trash fast enough. So the dogs are always a mess.

He just dropped his book and passed out. Poor guy. But he’s cutting it close on where I wanted him to be at before signing up for Uni.. and I’m pushing him hard.

Now that we have 1k, we explore the Student Library in Britechester.. while we wait for our scholarship and uni applications to come back. I’ve been looking constantly, but I haven’t seen ONE young adult, male or female, walk past Jax’s .. er.. “house”. Immediately upon getting to the library, I spot this lovely librarian, and all bets are off. I stopped looking right then and there. LOL.

While we were there, we got a money opportunity from our aunt Diedre on the phone, I asked about the conditions.. and she sent us 2500 simoleons. Nice!

So, here we are getting to know the local librarian. Turns out she’s Bookworm, Romantic.. and I have no idea what else. Will introduce her better next post. Her name, however, is Adrienne Hahn…. and I think she’ll make some cute babies with Jax. At least… that’s the plan.

Luckily, she doesn’t seem to mind the romancing plan. First kiss in the bag! I head home after this, planning to let Jax get some needs back up.. but the game has other plans. I’ll explain that next post, too. Because this one is long enough already. I’ll just leave you wondering whether he gets into his distinguished degree or not until next time!

House 012 Chapter 6 < | > House 013 Chapter 2

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.)
