This doesn't show the full extent of the family. That won't fit on one screen! It does, however, show the branch of the family tree of the current heir, Nevan.
Although it was a very hectic sim day, I have very few pics. I blame being overwhelmed James, Bridie's fiance, moved in during the night. Unfortunately, his meal was served on the back deck. I am sure Nevan meant nothing by it as there are only 8 chairs at the main dining table.
Nevan has barely touched his paintbrush in some time! Instead he is rolling lots of MA wishes. Perhaps he saw how long Jordan lived because of his lifestyle and wants some of that for himself
I had no idea where I would fit another bed for Bridie and James. In the end, I emptied the reading room and placed a bed there. They couple seem oblivious that there is an archway to their temporary sleeping quarters
Niki, Eilish's daughter, came home with Brogan after school.
Niki stayed for dinner. The twins were served outside. At least they had company
Brogan mastered MA!
Nevan and Shannon had been playing catch with the twins before star watching so they are actually watching stars this time
I have almost decided that I don't want the stress of organising a wedding for Bridie and James. I might just invite his parents over for dinner and they can have a private wedding.
Excuse the sloppy editing but this is the family tree as of today showing Jordan at the head. I wish it also showed Cliff, but I guess there are limitations to the family tree depending on which sim is selected when viewing it.
I added a small table to the living area so that no-one had to eat outside on their own Cliff played the piano while the family ate. No-one reacted to him because I installed a mod to stop reactions to ghosts
After the morning chores were completed and the kids had gone off to school, I had James ask Nevan for Bridie's hand in marriage
Nevan gave his blessing
Bridie gave James a wink of approval
James' mother was working until 2 and his father was fishing on the other side of the map so I assumed he had the day off work. When his mother had finished work for the day I invited them over.
I didn't realize that Bridie had not met her future mother-in-law, Joanne.
Brogan chatted with Byron for ages!
When the kids had finished their homework I had Bridie and James get married at the arch. I had no idea whether the family would take notice without a wedding party. Fortunately the family all came to witness the ceremony
I also bought a cake without knowing what would happen without a wedding party but the couple went to the cake immediately after exchanging rings
Unfortunately there was a bottleneck on the stairs and James wandered off before the cake was cut.
I cancelled "grab a slice" on most of the family and when the bride, groom and parents had their slices I had Brogan serve the remainder to the family.
It worked pretty well
After cake, the boys watched the house They had Father of the Bride moodlet and I felt pretty chuffed that the day went so smoothly
Jordan visited just before I closed the game and the twins were not disturbed
Poor Bridie was a guinea pig but hopefully I have learned something and future home weddings should run a lot smoother
Cait sat on her own this time. Because the table is so close, the family were still able to talk with her
"The Sim God has emptied my inventory. I think she is trying to push us out!"
"I'm sure we'll be well provided for."
Bridie and James moved into their new home. I am sure many of you will recognize this house I upgraded the stove and fridge before moving them in
Nevan was still working on his wish to level up to 8 in MA. He actually got a head kick in! Shannon looks surprised!
Unfortunately Shannon retaliated with a kick that Nevan was unable to counter. Shannon won 2-1.
Neasa rolled a wish to go on a submarine adventure
While Neasa was enjoying her adventure and Cait was still at an after school class, the boys had fun at the park. At least I think the little ones were having fun as they were reading books
This is Brittney Starr, the granddaughter of Derry. She was meant to come home with Neasa but had art class so didn't show up until nearly dinner time.
I had Cait prepare some fish and chips before the boys got home from the park.
Poor Rowan got stuck with the dishes.
Shannon and Nevan watched the house before bed
This is Rowan's last breakfast as a child! I have child set at 15 days but it seems to go so fast!
While eating breakfast Brogan must have said something that Shannon liked because he rolled a wish to spar with him
Or maybe he said something cheeky because Shannon kicked him in the face
The birthday boy wanted to fish and Neasa asked Cait to play catch.
Brogan rolled a wish to play the guitar at the park. He's not a virtuoso but I let him have it.
Cait mastered the painting skill The black wolf with the rose is Jordan's last painting.
When the children got back from Scouts and had done their homework, the family gathered around for Rowan's birthday
Not a good look! Although I can see that his face is gorgeous
He is a beautiful blend of his dads
I stopped the family from grabbing a slice and had one of them serve it. It worked perfectly
Rowan wanted to meet someone new and my simself was at the small park across the street Brogan also wanted to meet someone and Clayton was also at the park
When I checked back on the boys, Brogan was chatting with his cousin Janie, Finnian's daughter. She's beautiful like her dad James was waiting to give Brogan an Ink Blot test
Back at home, the boys watched the house
I noticed Derry was also at the park. He had been playing chess with Marina Ackles (nee Prattle). It occurred to me that she would be positively ancient and when I checked she was 34 days over! I was going to take matters into my own hands if she didn't die within the next day or so but I got a popup while the family slept that she would be dying the next day.
Every time the family eats crepes I remember when Jordan cooked them with plasma fruit and made the family sick
The boys were woohooing up a storm as is usual once the morning chores have been done They maxed the WH skill some time ago! I don't remember Cliff and Jordan being this young when they maxed that skill!
To take their minds off woohoo, I sent them to the bowling alley.
Derry's daughter, Anna, was bowling in the next lane. I love how sims look at those they know well or are related to. Anna is Nevan's niece.
No-one paid any attention when she took a nose dive although it was no wonder in those shoes!
Obviously there is nowhere woohoo proof in town The boys found the photobooth. Declan's son, Torrance, was there
Claude, Eilish's husband, was also there. He seems to have a palette stuck to his hand LOL
Nevan has such a serious face!
No sooner than the boys had woohooed, they rushed downstairs to witness the passing of Sandy Frio, Connor's wife.
She drew quite a crowd!
Like Marina Prattle, she would have been at least 30 days over so I wasn't surprised when she went peacefully.
Cait wanted to visit the library after school. While she was there she chatted with her Aunt Kara (Shannon's sister).
I should never have given those kids balls! LOL
It took the kids a while to get to the dinner table after playing catch. Bran had been painting and ate with his dads.
Shannon took Rowan for a driving lesson after dinner.
I got a pop-up that Rowan had learned how to drive and I located them quite a distance from home. Rowan is over-emotional like his Grandpa Jordan and he was crying when I found them
It's Saturday morning and I always dread weekends with everyone pulling at me with all their wishes!
I have autonomous "Preside over royal court" turned off but will allow my kids to do it if they wish it.
Shannon wanted to up his nectar making skill. He got to level 8 making this batch
I had Michael and Carl visit because Brogan and Cait had romantic wishes
Since Rowan is not allowed romance for some time, I sent him to the park. He wanted to meet someone new and had to wait to introduce himself to Tam who was there with his teens, Gabriela and Jasen. From memory, Tam has the irresistible trait. Joanne, Bridie's mother-in-law, was also waiting to talk to Tam.
He finally got a chance for his introduction
I sent Bran to the park as well since he was not getting any attention at home. Neasa is like Cait, happy to bug people to death, but Bran just sits quietly in the sand box or paints. I had him say hi to his Uncle Derry
When I checked back on the family, Brogan was chatting with Carl. Carl was in the main bedroom in his jammies - I have no idea what he was up to
Cait, also in her jammies, was chatting with Michael in the bathroom. Poor boy can't even pee in peace
Back at the park, I found Rowan playing chess. Genius sims can be so boring
Poor Brogan rolls lots of romantic wishes for Michael but wanders off to break boards or dance instead of acting on them. I was worried that he wouldn't get as much loving as my sims usually do. I don't think I need to worry because Michael seems to have the romance department taken care of and will be the perfect counter for Brogan's Disciplined trait When I checked back on the house after concentrating on Rowan and Bran at the park, I found Michael doing this
Since he was boring me to death with his chess, I sent Rowan home. At least he was being sociable there
I realized that Rowan didn't have any athletic skill points yet so I sent him diving.
Michael and Carl stayed for dinner
After dinner, Shannon and Nevan watched the house
A little later, Brogan and Michael did the same. In the background, Cait and Carl were looking at actual stars
This is Cait's last day as a teen It is also Sunday so I will have tons of wishes to fulfill!
Because the garlic plant was ready to harvest, Rowan rolled a wish to catch a vampire fish. Because he had already caught 4 different fish for a "catch 5 different fish" wish, I was happy to grant it. Brogan also had a fish wish. He wanted to catch a record size fish. I decided the boys should keep each other company
Neasa had a wish to Preside Over Royal Court.
Shannon wanted to catch a bug and on catching it rolled a wish to experiment on it with radiation. I was worried he would end up with a radioactive insect bite but he was fine The sim in the background is one of the many Mullis boys in town. He had been fishing in the family pond and then wandered up to the deck to read a book.
I saw Nevan talking to Rowan and recognized the tone as the one used to tell kids to improve their skills. Rowan chose the barre.
I felt sorry for Rowan so had him stop and sent him to the park instead. This is Cheryl, the new wife of his cousin Sam (son of Declan).
This is Sam
I got a popup about Clayton being the sim to call if you needed anything repaired ... no thank you!
I cleaned him up because I know @Charlottesmom loves to look at him
I found Brogan doing the chicken dance LOL
While I was watching, he fell flat on his back
He got right back up and kept dancing
Nevan and Shannon were in the yard flirting up a storm. They had used the treehouse and elevator several times! I was sorry to break them up but it was time to go inside for Cait's birthday
Because the family were all in the backyard and got jammed up at the doors, Shannon didn't make it to the birthday until it was almost over.
Dang, the dreaded pigtails!
Cait wasn't too impressed about her birthday!
I stole the cake while the family were still celebrating because it was too early too eat so the family stood around and chatted
Not long after, before the family could go off and do their own thing, I had Neasa serve the cake.
Cait went straight to the TV afterwards so I had her change the channel. Might as well work on her cooking skill at the same time
After cake, Shannon and Nevan watched the house
Here's a better look at Cait. I didn't realize she had inherited Grandpa Jordan's green eyes even though she has been in CAS for each birthday
Carl moved in during the night He aged up the previous night like Cait.
After breakfast and a few of his wishes were taken care of, I left he and Cait to freewill
I later found them in the bedroom like this!
They are now engaged and this makes my job easier! I will give them a day because Carl will need some help getting skills started before I send them out on their own.
They both rolled wishes to pillow fight. Normally I ignore this wish or let them have it if they instigate it themselves, but I was feeling indulgent
Cait got a little angry Their relationship barely took a hit and they were fine after they shared a hug.
Cait is getting some of her own medicine. Normally she is the one who bu.tts in on conversations Shannon wanted to get to know his future son-in-law
Although I found a mod that stops autonomous taking of photos with friends I will allow the occasional wish to be granted, especially when the wish is rolled by my cute Rowan
Rowan had a wish to cook so I had him prepare spaghetti. He has only 4 cooking skill points so doesn't know many recipes yet.
After dinner, Nevan and Shannon watched the house
Earlier in the day, Neasa rolled a wish to set a booby trap. I had Cait disarm it
I lost count of how many times Nevan and Shannon watched the stars. I think I need to add a mod that reduces the number. I don't want them to stop doing it but I don't want them doing it all night! Cait and Carl also watched the house but they only did it once
Brogan, being a party animal, rolled a wish some time ago to learn the mixology skill. He has had a little practice here and there and on reaching level 3 rolled a wish to make a party drink. I am glad I didn't let him make a whole tray because it was terrible quality
I found Cait and Carl heading into the house for woohoo. Cait looks happy but Carl looks like he is being taken to the gallows
Jordan came out at around 2am. He did a little haunting of plants and furniture then broke space rocks for the rest of the night.
Cliff came at around 4am. Unfortunately he didn't interact with Jordan He had been haunting a dining chair before Cait served breakfast.
The mod is excellent and everyone got to breakfast without reacting to Cliff's presence even though he drifted through the middle of the dining table as they were sitting down
Because the rest of the family were busy, Cait chatted with Cliff. She always manages to find some company
After Carl finished gardening, I had him introduce himself to Cliff
I went into map view and located Carl's parents and checked what their jobs were. I discovered that his mother had the day off but his father would be starting work at 3. I wasn't going to wait for a day when both would be available so invited them over in the morning. Shannon spoke with Carl's father, Randell Mullis. You might not remember this but Randell was friends with Nevan's older siblings.
I discovered that Cait had not met Carl's mother, Kizzy. In the background, Carl is asking Shannon for Cait's hand in marriage
He agreed a lot quicker than Nevan did when asked by James, Bridie's husband!
Although the kids were at school, I knew that I had to get the show on the road before Randell left for work. At least both sets of parents were there to witness the ceremony
I should probably have had one of the family collect the gems that Jordan left after a night of breaking space rocks
I tried to line Cait up to hide the gems
I placed the cake nearby so that I wouldn't get a bottleneck at the door like I did for Bridie's wedding.
Success! Everyone had cake just in time for Randell to go to work!
After Randell left, I had Kizzy go home as well. I left the family to their own devices This is the first time I have seen Nevan use the sketch pad autonomously
I found the newlyweds getting frisky by the hot tub. I was surprised when they went to the treehouse on the other side of the yard instead!
Shannon wanted to go to the park so I sent him with Nevan. Because the teens had come home from school I was getting their wishes and needs taken care of. They even got a piece of wedding cake When I checked on Nevan and Shannon they were chatting with Dameon and his son, Harry
One last look at Dameon while he is still handsome. He and Aideen aged up to elder later that day
I left the boys again to make sure the teens were okay and came back to find Shannon tutoring Harry.
The children didn't get home until late because of Scouts but I made sure they also got cake
When the boys got home from the park they watched the house
The newlyweds had been woohooing all day but took a break to watch the house as well
After watching the house I found them both excited about their newly married state
Cait and Carl will be moving out today.
I let them have some fun before sending them packing
I moved them into Primrose House (I think that's the name). It was the house that Finnian and Darla moved into when they got married. They came into some money, probably from an inheritance since all of the first gen elders have passed on, and moved into a bigger house. This house will do them for a while as it has a crib, a double bed and two single beds
Genius Nevan is always rolling wishes to do with his contraption! I bought it because Bridie's husband James wished for it while living with the family.
Shannon wanted to improve his painting skill. I have seen this particular painting about 10 times in this save! I believe Jordan's first painting was of these boots!
No guesses for what the boys were doing near the treehouse
Poor Rowan is not a physical sim but I had him work on his MA skills anyway. You should see this boy shirtless! He has more muscles than his older brother Brogan. He leveled up to 2 while sparring with Shannon.
Neasa wanted to hang with her brother. I had him go to her for a chat and they talked and hugged several times before going off to do their own thing
Aideen's son, Harry, came home from school with Rowan.
I got a Prom notice and of course the boys rolled wishes to go. I didn't want the game hooking Rowan up with just anyone or getting into "fight" scenarios while attending alone so I had him ask his second cousin, Daniela. Second cousins don't count as blood in the game and that is fine by me or there would be no potential partners for my future kids.
Brogan wanted to go to the park. As soon as he got there, this out of towner pudding approached him. Before she could reach him I sent him to visit Michael since his wish was fulfilled on arriving at the park.
He asked Michael to go to Prom and of course he said yes
Logan didn't bother the boys when he came home from school
It was getting close to dinner time so I checked on Brogan
Harry's favourite food is key lime pie so the family had that for dinner
Nevan and Shannon watched the house before bed
It was a quiet day so I will start with Nevan's two latest paintings.
Only Jordan visited during the night and after haunting he did what he loved best in life
Six at the table! That's a small family for my style of play!
Neasa woke with a wish to go on a submarine adventure. I had her do that before school
Nevan spent the morning at the Science Facility doing an opportunity. Something about catching a behemoth that was wreaking havoc there. Shannon stayed home and worked on his painting skill. When Nevan got home I sent them to the beach just beyond the drop-off at the end of their yard.
Shannon rolled a wish to up his nectar making skill and also a wish to produce a bottle of nectar worth §250. Shannon doesn't make much nectar because the family already has a large collection. They have 114 bottles worth §222,099. He got to either level 8 or 9 during the day.
While making nectar he rolled a wish to go skinny dipping and who am I to say no?
After school, Brogan worked on a wish to increase his painting skill.
Because Rowan had an unfinished painting, I had him work on that. Those boots again!
The children had been to Scouts and didn't get home until after 5. They had just enough time to do their homework before dinner.
The boys end the day in the usual way
Who wouldn't want someone like this serving their breakfast?
Bran wanted to go on a submarine adventure
Shannon got 15,000 LTR when he made nectar worth more than §250 today. Here he is adding his "signature flavour"
The boys went bowling while the kids were at school My sims don't fall often but both boys fell several times over the course of this game
The boys got home in time for the kids
Grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner because Rowan doesn't know many recipes yet but is working on his cooking skill.
After dinner the boys watched the house
Both Rowan and Brogan have wishes to improve their cooking skill so they are watching the Cooking Channel.
After watching the house, Shannon autonomously joined them while Nevan went off to play chess.
Another busy weekend begins!
I sent the little ones to the park to get them out of the way. Bran introduced himself to Darla, Finnian's wife
The rest of the family went to the gym because I saw that Michael and his dad, Spike, were there
Poor Nevan must hate being out in public because he is always swamped!
Shannon tried talking to Nevan but the crowd kept him out so he exercised instead.
Poor Rowan was just standing around so I had him check himself out in the big mirror
Brogan's face! LOL "Really?"
When I checked on the kids, I found Bran reading and Neasa getting to know her aunt better Since they didn't seem to be doing much, I sent them to see a movie.
Back at the gym, I found Brogan and Rowan swimming
Nevan was still being hounded but not as badly. Shannon introduced himself to Eilish's son, Jed. I checked the stats on the pregnant sim and discovered she was about to drop her load so I sent the boys home.
When they got home Shannon rolled a wish to go to the Art Gallery. I don't think the boys saw much art
I had Brogan invite Michael over. Shortly after he arrived he did a stimulus response test
Rowan was still working on his cooking skill so he cooked dinner. He made Brogan's favourite meal, Shawarma.
I found Rowan playing with the chicks
House watching time
Shannon, Nevan and Rowan attended a party thrown by Connie Mullis (nee Adams). As soon as they arrived, Nevan asked Shannon to watch the stars but they didn't get to do it because other guests started to arrive.
The blonde girl in the front is the one who was pregnant at the gym that morning.
I'd left the children working on their block table skills and when I checked on Brogan he was breaking boards as was Michael.
Rowan managed to complete his cooking skill wish while preparing a cheese plate for the party. He came out and introduced himself to Lydell Mullis, the husband of his Aunt Kara.
Nevan and Cait had a long chat
Cliff visited during the night. Jordan must have rubbed off on him because he was never interested in exercise before
The family had crepes for Sunday morning breakfast.
The dishwasher broke and I had Nevan fix it since Shannon has already maxed the handiness skill.
Neasa wanted to go on a submarine adventure
After her adventure she went outside and chatted with her grandpa
Shannon is trying to max the nectar making skill so I had him make a batch.
The kids played catch while Shannon was making nectar and Nevan was working towards maxing the piano skill. I didn't direct them. They played catch autonomously. I like to give my sims a lot of free rein whenever I can and weekends especially so.
Brogan will be aging up in 2 sim days. I thought he should have at least one date with Michael while still a teen. I found Michael at the park and sent Brogan to ask him out.
I sent them to the bowling alley. This is Cary, Shannon's half brother. He's a cutie and looks very much like his mother
This is Aideen's daughter, Kim. I don't know why she looks so miserable!
The teen in the yellow top is Harry, Kim's brother.
After bowling the boys went upstairs. Becky, my SS and Eddie were there. Eddie is now an elder
Eddie's usual hair is not available for elders but I think he still looks good
Michael cheered his step-mother, Becky, on Logan was playing nearby
Can you guess what the boys got up to?
I had Brogan invite Michael back home.
I noticed flirting going on at the park across the street and found Bridie and James. Poor Jed, Eilish's son, had to watch them
After spending a little time at home, I had Brogan take Michael to the Bistro.
Nevan took the rest of the family to the diner
Poor Brogan waited for over a half sim hour for Michael to emerge from the restaurant!
Back at home I found Nevan and Shannon actually watching stars, although I don't know how much Shannon could see through the hydrangea
Michael finally emerged after I had cancelled about 10 attempts by Brogan to start games of catch with his Aunt Darla and another teen who was at the bistro.
After a chat and some kisses and cuddles, I had Brogan kiss Michael goodnight
Before I closed my game, Jordan came out

I cleaned him up because I know @Charlottesmom loves to look at him
I found Brogan doing the chicken dance LOL
While I was watching, he fell flat on his back
He got right back up and kept dancing

Because the family were all in the backyard and got jammed up at the doors, Shannon didn't make it to the birthday until it was almost over.
Dang, the dreaded pigtails!
Cait wasn't too impressed about her birthday!
I stole the cake while the family were still celebrating because it was too early too eat so the family stood around and chatted
Not long after, before the family could go off and do their own thing, I had Neasa serve the cake.
Cait went straight to the TV afterwards so I had her change the channel. Might as well work on her cooking skill at the same time
After cake, Shannon and Nevan watched the house
Here's a better look at Cait. I didn't realize she had inherited Grandpa Jordan's green eyes even though she has been in CAS for each birthday

After breakfast and a few of his wishes were taken care of, I left he and Cait to freewill
I later found them in the bedroom like this!
They are now engaged and this makes my job easier! I will give them a day because Carl will need some help getting skills started before I send them out on their own.
They both rolled wishes to pillow fight. Normally I ignore this wish or let them have it if they instigate it themselves, but I was feeling indulgent
Cait got a little angry
Cait is getting some of her own medicine. Normally she is the one who bu.tts in on conversations

Rowan had a wish to cook so I had him prepare spaghetti. He has only 4 cooking skill points so doesn't know many recipes yet.
After dinner, Nevan and Shannon watched the house
Earlier in the day, Neasa rolled a wish to set a booby trap. I had Cait disarm it
I lost count of how many times Nevan and Shannon watched the stars. I think I need to add a mod that reduces the number. I don't want them to stop doing it but I don't want them doing it all night! Cait and Carl also watched the house but they only did it once
Brogan, being a party animal, rolled a wish some time ago to learn the mixology skill. He has had a little practice here and there and on reaching level 3 rolled a wish to make a party drink. I am glad I didn't let him make a whole tray because it was terrible quality
I found Cait and Carl heading into the house for woohoo. Cait looks happy but Carl looks like he is being taken to the gallows

Cliff came at around 4am. Unfortunately he didn't interact with Jordan
The mod is excellent and everyone got to breakfast without reacting to Cliff's presence even though he drifted through the middle of the dining table as they were sitting down
Because the rest of the family were busy, Cait chatted with Cliff. She always manages to find some company
After Carl finished gardening, I had him introduce himself to Cliff
I went into map view and located Carl's parents and checked what their jobs were. I discovered that his mother had the day off but his father would be starting work at 3. I wasn't going to wait for a day when both would be available so invited them over in the morning. Shannon spoke with Carl's father, Randell Mullis. You might not remember this but Randell was friends with Nevan's older siblings.
I discovered that Cait had not met Carl's mother, Kizzy. In the background, Carl is asking Shannon for Cait's hand in marriage
He agreed a lot quicker than Nevan did when asked by James, Bridie's husband!
Although the kids were at school, I knew that I had to get the show on the road before Randell left for work. At least both sets of parents were there to witness the ceremony
I should probably have had one of the family collect the gems that Jordan left after a night of breaking space rocks
I tried to line Cait up to hide the gems
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Success! Everyone had cake just in time for Randell to go to work!
After Randell left, I had Kizzy go home as well. I left the family to their own devices
I found the newlyweds getting frisky by the hot tub. I was surprised when they went to the treehouse on the other side of the yard instead!
Shannon wanted to go to the park so I sent him with Nevan. Because the teens had come home from school I was getting their wishes and needs taken care of. They even got a piece of wedding cake
One last look at Dameon while he is still handsome. He and Aideen aged up to elder later that day
I left the boys again to make sure the teens were okay and came back to find Shannon tutoring Harry.
The children didn't get home until late because of Scouts but I made sure they also got cake
When the boys got home from the park they watched the house
The newlyweds had been woohooing all day but took a break to watch the house as well
After watching the house I found them both excited about their newly married state

I let them have some fun before sending them packing
I moved them into Primrose House (I think that's the name). It was the house that Finnian and Darla moved into when they got married. They came into some money, probably from an inheritance since all of the first gen elders have passed on, and moved into a bigger house. This house will do them for a while as it has a crib, a double bed and two single beds
Genius Nevan is always rolling wishes to do with his contraption! I bought it because Bridie's husband James wished for it while living with the family.
Shannon wanted to improve his painting skill. I have seen this particular painting about 10 times in this save! I believe Jordan's first painting was of these boots!
No guesses for what the boys were doing near the treehouse
Poor Rowan is not a physical sim but I had him work on his MA skills anyway. You should see this boy shirtless! He has more muscles than his older brother Brogan. He leveled up to 2 while sparring with Shannon.
Neasa wanted to hang with her brother. I had him go to her for a chat and they talked and hugged several times before going off to do their own thing
Aideen's son, Harry, came home from school with Rowan.
I got a Prom notice and of course the boys rolled wishes to go. I didn't want the game hooking Rowan up with just anyone or getting into "fight" scenarios while attending alone so I had him ask his second cousin, Daniela. Second cousins don't count as blood in the game and that is fine by me or there would be no potential partners for my future kids.
Brogan wanted to go to the park. As soon as he got there, this out of towner pudding approached him. Before she could reach him I sent him to visit Michael since his wish was fulfilled on arriving at the park.
He asked Michael to go to Prom and of course he said yes
Logan didn't bother the boys when he came home from school
It was getting close to dinner time so I checked on Brogan
Harry's favourite food is key lime pie so the family had that for dinner
Nevan and Shannon watched the house before bed

Only Jordan visited during the night and after haunting he did what he loved best in life
Six at the table! That's a small family for my style of play!
Neasa woke with a wish to go on a submarine adventure. I had her do that before school
Nevan spent the morning at the Science Facility doing an opportunity. Something about catching a behemoth that was wreaking havoc there. Shannon stayed home and worked on his painting skill. When Nevan got home I sent them to the beach just beyond the drop-off at the end of their yard.
Shannon rolled a wish to up his nectar making skill and also a wish to produce a bottle of nectar worth §250. Shannon doesn't make much nectar because the family already has a large collection. They have 114 bottles worth §222,099. He got to either level 8 or 9 during the day.
While making nectar he rolled a wish to go skinny dipping and who am I to say no?
After school, Brogan worked on a wish to increase his painting skill.
Because Rowan had an unfinished painting, I had him work on that. Those boots again!
The children had been to Scouts and didn't get home until after 5. They had just enough time to do their homework before dinner.
The boys end the day in the usual way

Bran wanted to go on a submarine adventure
Shannon got 15,000 LTR when he made nectar worth more than §250 today. Here he is adding his "signature flavour"
The boys went bowling while the kids were at school
The boys got home in time for the kids
Grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner because Rowan doesn't know many recipes yet but is working on his cooking skill.
After dinner the boys watched the house
Both Rowan and Brogan have wishes to improve their cooking skill so they are watching the Cooking Channel.
After watching the house, Shannon autonomously joined them while Nevan went off to play chess.

I sent the little ones to the park to get them out of the way. Bran introduced himself to Darla, Finnian's wife
The rest of the family went to the gym because I saw that Michael and his dad, Spike, were there
Poor Nevan must hate being out in public because he is always swamped!
Shannon tried talking to Nevan but the crowd kept him out so he exercised instead.
Poor Rowan was just standing around so I had him check himself out in the big mirror
Brogan's face! LOL "Really?"
When I checked on the kids, I found Bran reading and Neasa getting to know her aunt better
Back at the gym, I found Brogan and Rowan swimming
Nevan was still being hounded but not as badly. Shannon introduced himself to Eilish's son, Jed. I checked the stats on the pregnant sim and discovered she was about to drop her load so I sent the boys home.

I had Brogan invite Michael over. Shortly after he arrived he did a stimulus response test
Rowan was still working on his cooking skill so he cooked dinner. He made Brogan's favourite meal, Shawarma.
I found Rowan playing with the chicks
House watching time
Shannon, Nevan and Rowan attended a party thrown by Connie Mullis (nee Adams). As soon as they arrived, Nevan asked Shannon to watch the stars but they didn't get to do it because other guests started to arrive.
The blonde girl in the front is the one who was pregnant at the gym that morning.
I'd left the children working on their block table skills and when I checked on Brogan he was breaking boards as was Michael.
Rowan managed to complete his cooking skill wish while preparing a cheese plate for the party. He came out and introduced himself to Lydell Mullis, the husband of his Aunt Kara.
Nevan and Cait had a long chat

The family had crepes for Sunday morning breakfast.
The dishwasher broke and I had Nevan fix it since Shannon has already maxed the handiness skill.
Neasa wanted to go on a submarine adventure
After her adventure she went outside and chatted with her grandpa
Shannon is trying to max the nectar making skill so I had him make a batch.
The kids played catch while Shannon was making nectar and Nevan was working towards maxing the piano skill. I didn't direct them. They played catch autonomously. I like to give my sims a lot of free rein whenever I can and weekends especially so.
Brogan will be aging up in 2 sim days. I thought he should have at least one date with Michael while still a teen. I found Michael at the park and sent Brogan to ask him out.
I sent them to the bowling alley. This is Cary, Shannon's half brother. He's a cutie and looks very much like his mother
This is Aideen's daughter, Kim. I don't know why she looks so miserable!
The teen in the yellow top is Harry, Kim's brother.

Eddie's usual hair is not available for elders but I think he still looks good
Michael cheered his step-mother, Becky, on
Can you guess what the boys got up to?
I had Brogan invite Michael back home.
I noticed flirting going on at the park across the street and found Bridie and James. Poor Jed, Eilish's son, had to watch them
After spending a little time at home, I had Brogan take Michael to the Bistro.
Nevan took the rest of the family to the diner
Poor Brogan waited for over a half sim hour for Michael to emerge from the restaurant!
Back at home I found Nevan and Shannon actually watching stars, although I don't know how much Shannon could see through the hydrangea
Michael finally emerged after I had cancelled about 10 attempts by Brogan to start games of catch with his Aunt Darla and another teen who was at the bistro.
After a chat and some kisses and cuddles, I had Brogan kiss Michael goodnight
Before I closed my game, Jordan came out
