Beau got started on teaching Brone how to talk. He had to wait for Brone to finish picking his nose first
Beau topped up Brone's fun bar by attacking him with the claw
After school, Akantha rolled a wish to catch a bug. There were some cockroaches near the house.
Akantha has an angry homework face
Lotta took Brone for his first stroll
Tristram once again rolled a wish to play in costume
I let Beau eat a normal meal with his family and had him top up with a plasma fruit.
Beau and Lotta watched the house after dinner
Lotta played with Brone before taking him to the potty chair
Beau and Lotta spent some time with the kids before bed.
Beau got Brone up and ready for the day
I am sticking with the mod that is supposed to quench a vampire's thirst with ordinary food but only does so partially so that Beau can eat the same food as his family.
Lotta had a wish to pick Brone up and also a wish to take him on a stroll.
Tristram wanted a tea party with his teddy bear
One of Beau's morning wishes was to catch a bug. There's a cockroach spawner very close to the house.
When Beau got back from catching his bug, I had him feed the Cow Plant
Lotta and Brone got back home when the mail carrier was there. She rolled a wish to give him a friendly introduction but I didn't allow it as I don't allow my sims to socialize with service sims. I did, however, notice that although bland looking, he has potential. I will take him into CAS at some point in the future. His name is Papaya Cruz.
I had Lotta get started on teaching Brone how to walk when they returned from their stroll.
Beau also had a wish to take Brone on a stroll
When they got back from their stroll, Beau finished off Brone's potty training
He also finished teaching Brone how to walk.
When Beau picked Brone up to teach him how to walk, he rolled a wish to put him on the spring rider.
Katherine Grantham came home from school with the kids. I had a good look at her in CAS and decided she will do as a future partner for Tristram. I will, however, have to scale her eyes down a whisker.
My game play was greatly reduced today while I did some trouble shooting on my game. I got the problem sorted out but it required a reset of the lot. Since the reset, Lotta no longer floats and hasn't tried to scare Beau once. I don't mind as long as she produces more ghost babies
After the kids finished their homework, Katherine went outside to play with the Cow Plant. I don't know why, but she left immediately after. I suspect it was because she stepped outside the lot while playing.
Her loss! She missed out on a perfect Tri-Tip Steak dinner
After dinner the family attended a party thrown by Suzuki Hinata. He was not there but Len Tsang was.
They left Brone at home with the pudding babysitter. He had a couple of bad traits which I fixed before the family left.
When they got home from the party, Tristram played in costume
While Lotta and Akantha played catch, Beau and Tristram had a pillow fight
Don't you just hate it when your leg gets stuck in the bedside table?
Lotta got Brone up and ready for the day
The family had apple pancakes for breakfast. Beau's hunger bar was only half filled but it will hold him over for a bit.
Beau and Brone
The kids are safe when they play catch with Lotta because she has no athletic skill
Beau took Brone on a short stroll while Lotta played with Akantha.
It looks like Akantha wants to take a bite out of the pudding bus driver!
A little later in the morning, Beau topped up his hunger bar with plasma juice.
After he had taken care of his hunger, he took care of his other needs
Beau had a wish to improve his mixology skill.
He's almost at level 6 but could still do with a little practice
While the kids were doing homework, Akantha rolled a wish to play tag with Tristram. I had forgotten that kids playing tag will continue their game in the pool if the pool is close enough to the house
Because it took them a while to get out of the pool, the kids were a little late to the table.
Beau and Lotta watched the house after dinner
Beau got Brone up and ready on his last day as a toddler
To save Beau having to have some plasma juice because it was going to be a busy morning, he ate plasma fruit crepes while the rest of the family ate normal ones.
Lotta wanted to play a game with Akantha. She rolls lots of wishes to play with Akantha but not so much Tristram
Beau took Brone for a stroll just as the school bus showed up. Not sure what's up with Akantha's neck!
When Beau got back from his stroll, Lotta had finished the gardening and they went straight for each other.
I remembered that the kids had a field trip so left Beau and Lotta to it while I checked on them. Gavin Grantham was in charge of the field trip. Gavin is the father of Katherine who I have lined up for Tristram.
Since the bus ride to the Police Station was going to take a while because the map is so spread out, I sent Lotta for her last stroll with Brone.
Katherine and another girl also went on the field trip. There are lots of kids at the school so I was surprised only two went.
The Police Station is another cute building!
I bought a cake while Lotta and Brone were on their stroll and he had his birthday as soon as they got home. I wanted to see if aging up using the cake would impact Beau's motives negatively and discovered that it doesn't. I know I can slide Beau's bars back up but there is no reason for him to suffer even for a moment so I will use cakes in future.
Birthday twirl!
Even though it's difficult to see what Brone is wearing in-game, I still felt better about dressing him in his favourite colour
The first thing Brone did on aging up was tag Lotta!
While working on their next baby, Beau and Lotta broke the shower
Beau and Brone had a little chat before I got started on fulfilling Brone's wishes.
Because of the play pen my toddlers gain the logic skill and age up with a wish to discover a potion.
Brone also wished to learn the painting skill. The only empty easel was in the study where his parents were flirting
Once again, Tristram rolled a wish to play in costume Most of my kids never roll the wish!
When Tristram had played as a prince for a bit, I sent him outside to chat with Brone who had been playing with Akantha. My kids all look so different
Because Beau had an invitation to a party that evening, I let him eat human food because I knew he could top up at the party.
After dinner, Beau and Lotta watched the house
The party was thrown by Alice Grantham, Gavin's wife. The teen is their daughter, Sophie.
One of Brone's first wishes on aging up was to attend a party, so I sent him with Beau.
Although Lotta no longer floats or scares, Brone does
Beau prepared a cheese plate and was able to fill his thirst bar. It takes two human meals to sate his thirst. It's a little annoying but at least he is able to eat the same food as everyone else.
Brone woke up with a wish to see Lotta's ghost. This is a wish that my evil sims usually roll when they have had a bad encounter with another sim. In this case, since Brone has no bad traits, I think it meant he wanted to spend time with his mother
I totally forgot it was Saturday in my game so was trying to let the kids have as much fun as possible before the school bus came. Senility is a cow
When I realized that it was Saturday and there was no school, I had Brone learn the fishing skill in the small fishing pond I made beside the house. Since Akantha had a fishing wish locked, I also sent her. Tristram worked on his painting skill as per his wish.
While fishing, Akantha rolled a wish to meet someone new. I looked around the map and saw someone for her to meet at the bookstore. His name is Griffin Alto.
When Beau and Lotta had finished gardening (Beau at the covered garden lot and Lotta on the home lot), I sent the family to Starfish Sands Playground.
There were a couple of enclosed areas at the playground so Beau was able to take shelter and read a pregnancy book out of the sun Tyrone Grantham chatted with Akantha.
Lotta asked Milton Adams to play catch.
While playing catch, she got her notice.
Lotta rolled a wish for a particular gender and I locked it in because I knew she had it right When she announced her pregnancy to Beau, he rolled a wish for the same and his is also locked in Beau also has a "have a baby with Lotta" wish locked in from shortly after the birth of Brone
The boys had wishes to increase their logic skill. I had them play chess together when they got to the park but I could see the skill points would take a while so I released them. They went to the picnic table to chat
Beau got an invitation to Ethel Carnegie's party. Although no-one rolled a wish to attend, I sent Beau long enough to say hello. Ethel threw a swimwear party and she has the hydrophobic trait
The family enjoyed cheesesteak as Lotta had a craving for it
Beau fed the Cow Plant. Apart from Katherine, no-one has approached it so I feel a little more relaxed about it being in my game now
Akantha also had a wish to improve her logic skill. I had her play with Brone while Tristram continued to work on his painting skill.
While Lotta read a pregnancy book, Tristram and Beau had a game of catch.
Beau and Lotta watched the stars before bed
Lotta woke with a craving for cookies. Fortunately there were some in the fridge so she ate cookies while the family ate crepes.
While eating breakfast, Brone rolled a wish to play catch with Beau. Because he floats, he took forever to get in place and I was worried that Beau would need to go inside before they even started.
Beau was smoking a little when he went inside but didn't seem too concerned. Vampires normally run when they have been outside too long but he just sauntered in with a smile on his face.
I sent Tristram to the Lagoon View Pools. He chatted with a school friend for a while.
Back at home Brone was working on a wish to increase his logic skill. Akantha joined him when she finished a painting but Beau interrupted to scare her
I sent the other kids to the pool as well. When I checked back on Tristram he was about to go swimming. It was a little freaky seeing his legs go through the stairs.
The day before, Beau rolled a wish to buy a table tennis table. I had forgotten about it until I saw "Play juice pong with" in his queue. I hadn't planned on getting a table tennis table so hadn't tweaked my Retuner settings to stop autonomous juice pong.
Brone was a little slow getting to the pool but when he got there he introduced himself to Tristram's friend before heading in for a swim.
I don't know what happened but the kids had only been swimming for less than an hour when "go home" appeared in their queues. The first thing Brone did on getting home was scare his dad
Tristram was playing in the treehouse so I sent Brone to keep him company.
Lotta's latest painting (I think this is only her third) was worth over §1,000. She is not artistic, does not have the Extra Creative LTR and the painting was not brilliant or a masterpiece. The only thing I can think of is that her painting was worth so much because she is a ghost. I have noticed that the value of paintings goes up after the death of a sim.
Brone had a wish to meet someone new so I sent him to the bookstore to meet Suzuki.
Beau and Lotta were having a pillow fight when I checked back on the house
I sent the family to the Bistro for dinner.
Brone ate on his own
As Brone was heading to his father to play catch, Kai Kahale appeared and starting chatting with him.
Beau and Lotta both rolled wishes to give Kai a friendly introduction. I sent Beau first. While waiting her turn, Lotta was entertained by Brone Tristram changed into his formal wear three times and tried to go back into the Bistro for drinks. I got sick of trying to stop him so went to send him home. Before he could leave, I felt sorry for him and had him play catch with Brone instead.
When Lotta introduced herself to Kai, they got hearts.
Before Lotta and Kai could talk further, Beau jumped in and showed Kai who Lotta was with
They watched the stars when Kai wandered off.
Akantha had been reading a book when Kiwi Hale appeared in her queue. They were school friends before he aged up to teen recently and he had come over to hug her
It's Brone's first day of school
Beau had been disposing of a dead plant when Papaya, the mail carrier, came. I found him having a chat.
Later in the morning, Lotta went into labor. Beau was reading in another room but I sent him to her so he could do the baby dance
Welcome Rune
Beau gave Rune a snuggle before I aged him up
To spare Beau discomfort, I used a cake.
He looks very much like Lotta but I think that perhaps the mouth could be Beau's.
I got Lotta started on teaching Rune how to talk because her wish slots were full.
Both Tristram and Brone came home from school wish wishes to do their homework. Easily granted!
While doing his homework, Tristram rolled a wish to dress up I am glad he is rolling these childish wishes because he will be aging up soon.
When Akantha came home from school, she had a wish to invite Katherine over. Because the kids had Scouts after school Katherine arrived just before dinner.
After dinner, Beau and Lotta watched the house
Beau got started on Rune's potty training
While Beau was busy with Rune, I found Lotta sharing a secret with Katherine. When they were done, I had Lotta send Katherine home.
Looking forward to the next installment I love your lil ghost babies they are so cute. I've never had the chance to have ghost babies in any of my games I think I'll try sometime. Love your commentary and Beau is very handsome and produces beautiful children
@ElijahsBabyGurl9 Thank you for reading and for the lovely comment I just played my other save but should get another Beau and Lotta update in later today after I take care of real life.
I have always loved Beau since I first got Late Night when it came out and, although I don't really care to play with vampires because they live too long, I do like to play the occasional save with him
I am totally loving the children in this save even though the last two look very much like Lotta. One of my old favourite sims was a son of hers that looked very much like her so all is good
Beau got Rune up and ready for the day
Beau managed to get to the table before the family had finished their breakfast. I love the look of this house but I have always preferred a single storey home for my sims as they take so long to get anywhere. It's also easier to keep tabs on my sims when I don't have to switch between floors.
Tristram woke with a wish to catch a bug. Can you see the pincers on this monster? It could take off a thumb!
Lotta finished off Rune's potty training
Beau and Brone played tag. Beau was zooming through the house as vampires do but Brone was still downstairs!
Lotta got to empty the potty chair as well
After emptying the potty chair, Lotta took Rune for a stroll
Beau took his turn when Lotta got home.
The kids went on a field trip. Iris Adams was in charge.
Back at home, Beau was teaching Rune how to walk.
I checked back on the kids when they got to the theatre. Dusty, Gilberto's son, was the only other child there. I have Dusty in mind for Akantha
When I got back to Beau and Brone, Brone was doing a little better with his walking
Because Beau had eaten human food for breakfast he was quite thirsty. I had him top up with plasma juice.
He had a wish to play with Rune locked in so I had him take care of that before Lotta got hold of him
The kids got home early because of the field trip. Normally they would have Scouts on a Tuesday.
While I was taking care of the kids, Beau and Lotta found each other
I saw "Eat cake" in Tristram's queue. Fortunately he was playing catch with Brone. I quickly had Beau feed the Cow Plant so Tristram wouldn't be eaten!
Lotta rolled a wish to play with Tristram this time Brone had a wish to fish locked in since morning.
Beau can now grow eggs and cheese so the family had egg rolls for dinner. I like to feed my sims the best quality food possible
Beau also had a wish to play a game with Tristram
Brone was trying to scare everyone in the family. I stopped him mostly but he snuck this one in
He also tried to scare Lotta but Lotta was busy with Rune. When Lotta saw him she rolled a wish to chat with him so I had him do that instead.
While holding Rune, Lotta rolled a wish to put him on the spring rider
I had the kids play together on the block table. Akantha and Tristram reached level 3. I thought that Tristram had maxed his earlier and was glad that I caught it before he ages up.
Beau had a wish to increase his mixology skill. He reached level 6
Lotta got Rune up and ready for the day
She got down to the breakfast table before the family had finished because she moves a little faster now she no longer floats.
Brone had a wish to have a tea party with his teddy Beau is heading out for his morning stroll with Rune.
*smolder* Holy Cow! Beau does not need to be shirtless to make me go weak at the knees His eyes are already beautiful but the eyeliner adds another layer of sexy!
When Beau got home, Lotta had her turn
Being a ghost/vampire hybrid means that Rune mastered the peg box and xylophone very quickly. I had Lotta put Rune in the play pen to work on his charisma skill next.
Beau needed a top up because of the human breakfast.
I love when toddlers choose to play inside the toybox
Beau with his latest painting
When he finished his painting he went straight to Lotta who had been playing computer games nearby.
Even genius kids don't care for homework
Tristram seems to roll more "fun" wishes than the other kids. He came home from school with a wish to catch a bug and a wish to play in the treehouse I sent him to the treehouse after catching the bug because he will be aging up at dinnertime.
I had left Beau and Lotta to their own devices. I have no idea what Beau was thinking when he agreed to this! I let them play a few minutes before making Beau get out of the sun.
Beau and his two ghost boys
Dinnertime rolled around and I bought a small table and a birthday cake.
I don't care for this "old man" hair!
Much better
He has Lotta's eyes and nose but the rest is Beau
Tristram got Green Thumb on aging up. Since he is human, I let him keep it
I sent Tristram upstairs to feed Rune. As soon as he saw him, he started rolling wishes to play with him
Beau and Lotta watched the stars from the deck outside their bedroom.
I found my party animal dancing after he had fed his brother
So cute
Brone interrupted his parents to scare Beau. I should have locked the bedroom door
Lotta got Rune up and ready for his last day as a toddler
Lotta had a few Rune wishes so didn't make it into the breakfast pic. She did, however, get there before everyone had finished.
Beau also had a few Rune wishes so he got to take the first stroll after tickling and chatting with him.
When he got back from the stroll, Beau topped up with plasma juice.
Lotta then got her turn
When they got back it was time to age Rune up.
I dressed Rune in his favourite colour
Rune's first wish was to discover a potion since he gained logic skill in the play pen.
I think Lotta is trying to kill Beau! I intentionally didn't give him a ball because I don't want him playing catch unless I am supervising. I was setting Rune up and when I checked on them they were in the yard. It looks like Beau is trying his hardest to stay out of the sun
When I keep Lotta busy, Beau happily amuses himself with painting or reading. Lotta, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any interests other than computer games. Since Rune is a bookworm I had him working on his first novel so the computer was not free. Lotta kept playing with the Cow Plant. Since she was spending so much time with it, I had her feed it in just in case.
Rune working on his first novel
Tristram wanted to learn how to drive but I had him do his homework first.
To keep Lotta away from the Cow Plant, I had her play with Rune instead.
Tristram got his licence in one shot but had to be reset because he started running across the town when it was over and Beau was left standing in the sun and I was unable to cancel the action. I then teleported Beau home. He must have sensed Tristram's motive hit because he went straight to him for a chat.
Tristram had made an autumn salad the previous evening because he wanted to learn the cooking skill. He got to level 3 because of the toy oven. I had the family eat spaghetti to see if I could get him to roll a wish to learn the recipe or to cook a meal but nothing. Never mind, he had other wishes locked in, including attending Prom.
Brone wished to be good friends with Rune
Lotta had been painting on the top floor and when she finished Beau went up and asked her to watch the stars
I sent Tristram to Katherine's house so he could ask her to Prom. I had to turn on romance for Katherine in order for him to ask her. As soon as the date was secured, I turned it off again.
When I checked on Beau and Lotta they were chatting. I don't blame them for staying up there because the view is stunning
@Mikezumi , really quick...Rune is totally adorable, it looks like he has Lotta's coloring! Am keeping up with reading but am cr*ap at feedback lately...as you can tell no doubt.

When Akantha came home from school, she had a wish to invite Katherine over. Because the kids had Scouts after school Katherine arrived just before dinner.
After dinner, Beau and Lotta watched the house
Beau got started on Rune's potty training
While Beau was busy with Rune, I found Lotta sharing a secret with Katherine. When they were done, I had Lotta send Katherine home.

I have always loved Beau since I first got Late Night when it came out and, although I don't really care to play with vampires because they live too long, I do like to play the occasional save with him
I am totally loving the children in this save even though the last two look very much like Lotta. One of my old favourite sims was a son of hers that looked very much like her so all is good

Beau managed to get to the table before the family had finished their breakfast. I love the look of this house but I have always preferred a single storey home for my sims as they take so long to get anywhere. It's also easier to keep tabs on my sims when I don't have to switch between floors.
Tristram woke with a wish to catch a bug. Can you see the pincers on this monster?
Lotta finished off Rune's potty training
Beau and Brone played tag. Beau was zooming through the house as vampires do but Brone was still downstairs!
Lotta got to empty the potty chair as well
After emptying the potty chair, Lotta took Rune for a stroll
Beau took his turn when Lotta got home.
The kids went on a field trip. Iris Adams was in charge.
Back at home, Beau was teaching Rune how to walk.
I checked back on the kids when they got to the theatre. Dusty, Gilberto's son, was the only other child there. I have Dusty in mind for Akantha
When I got back to Beau and Brone, Brone was doing a little better with his walking

He had a wish to play with Rune locked in so I had him take care of that before Lotta got hold of him
The kids got home early because of the field trip. Normally they would have Scouts on a Tuesday.
While I was taking care of the kids, Beau and Lotta found each other
I saw "Eat cake" in Tristram's queue. Fortunately he was playing catch with Brone. I quickly had Beau feed the Cow Plant so Tristram wouldn't be eaten!
Lotta rolled a wish to play with Tristram this time
Beau can now grow eggs and cheese so the family had egg rolls for dinner. I like to feed my sims the best quality food possible
Beau also had a wish to play a game with Tristram
Brone was trying to scare everyone in the family. I stopped him mostly but he snuck this one in
He also tried to scare Lotta but Lotta was busy with Rune. When Lotta saw him she rolled a wish to chat with him so I had him do that instead.
While holding Rune, Lotta rolled a wish to put him on the spring rider
I had the kids play together on the block table. Akantha and Tristram reached level 3. I thought that Tristram had maxed his earlier and was glad that I caught it before he ages up.
Beau had a wish to increase his mixology skill. He reached level 6

She got down to the breakfast table before the family had finished because she moves a little faster now she no longer floats.
Brone had a wish to have a tea party with his teddy
*smolder* Holy Cow! Beau does not need to be shirtless to make me go weak at the knees
When Beau got home, Lotta had her turn
Being a ghost/vampire hybrid means that Rune mastered the peg box and xylophone very quickly. I had Lotta put Rune in the play pen to work on his charisma skill next.
Beau needed a top up because of the human breakfast.
I love when toddlers choose to play inside the toybox
Beau with his latest painting
When he finished his painting he went straight to Lotta who had been playing computer games nearby.
Even genius kids don't care for homework
Tristram seems to roll more "fun" wishes than the other kids. He came home from school with a wish to catch a bug and a wish to play in the treehouse
I had left Beau and Lotta to their own devices. I have no idea what Beau was thinking when he agreed to this! I let them play a few minutes before making Beau get out of the sun.

Dinnertime rolled around and I bought a small table and a birthday cake.
I don't care for this "old man" hair!
Much better
He has Lotta's eyes and nose but the rest is Beau
Tristram got Green Thumb on aging up. Since he is human, I let him keep it
I sent Tristram upstairs to feed Rune. As soon as he saw him, he started rolling wishes to play with him
Beau and Lotta watched the stars from the deck outside their bedroom.
I found my party animal dancing after he had fed his brother
So cute
Brone interrupted his parents to scare Beau. I should have locked the bedroom door

Lotta had a few Rune wishes so didn't make it into the breakfast pic. She did, however, get there before everyone had finished.
Beau also had a few Rune wishes so he got to take the first stroll after tickling and chatting with him.
When he got back from the stroll, Beau topped up with plasma juice.
Lotta then got her turn
When they got back it was time to age Rune up.
I dressed Rune in his favourite colour
Rune's first wish was to discover a potion since he gained logic skill in the play pen.

When I keep Lotta busy, Beau happily amuses himself with painting or reading. Lotta, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any interests other than computer games. Since Rune is a bookworm I had him working on his first novel so the computer was not free. Lotta kept playing with the Cow Plant. Since she was spending so much time with it, I had her feed it in just in case.
Rune working on his first novel
Tristram wanted to learn how to drive but I had him do his homework first.
To keep Lotta away from the Cow Plant, I had her play with Rune instead.
Tristram got his licence in one shot but had to be reset because he started running across the town when it was over and Beau was left standing in the sun and I was unable to cancel the action. I then teleported Beau home. He must have sensed Tristram's motive hit because he went straight to him for a chat.
Tristram had made an autumn salad the previous evening because he wanted to learn the cooking skill. He got to level 3 because of the toy oven. I had the family eat spaghetti to see if I could get him to roll a wish to learn the recipe or to cook a meal but nothing. Never mind, he had other wishes locked in, including attending Prom.
Brone wished to be good friends with Rune
Lotta had been painting on the top floor and when she finished Beau went up and asked her to watch the stars
I sent Tristram to Katherine's house so he could ask her to Prom. I had to turn on romance for Katherine in order for him to ask her. As soon as the date was secured, I turned it off again.
When I checked on Beau and Lotta they were chatting. I don't blame them for staying up there because the view is stunning
