When it was getting close to dinnertime, I sent Beckah inside to blow out the candles on her birthday cake.
Her dads were in the basement and I was sure they had finished woohooing and I was starting to panic that they wouldn't make it in time to see Beckah age up.
The boys made it in the nick of time!
It could have been worse ... but not much! LOL
Later in the evening I changed the colour of her skirt and shoes.
Because the boys joined the celebration late, they took a while to come to the table
A close up of Beckah to show how pretty she turned out But she still has to go! LOL
Drew had been talking to Mikezumi and she must have told him to improve his skills. I tried to find this in the Retuner settings but couldn't find it. I probably need to dig deeper.
The boys watched the stars before bed
Chance started dancing just after Beckah's birthday and kept it up until bedtime.
@Mikezumi That was very nice of you to delay breakfast!
Funny picture of Jensen and Jared with Chance standing there.
Mikezumi looks great doing her sparring with Drew.
Beckah aged into a beauty!
Drew looks cute doing his warm ups!
lol at Chance's stamina! Bodes well for the future generation.
@Charlottesmom The boys woke up at a normal time because they had been up really late the night before. I was almost worried they wouldn't wake in time for breakfast!
Even without the glasses, Drew is gorgeous! He's got Jensen's eyes and Jared's nose. I can't remember whose mouth he has off the top of my head.
Thanks for the lovely comments
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I only delayed breakfast because they were half way through their woohoo
Given Mikezumi is an elder and not the most athletic sim (well she represents me, afterall ), I think she's doing pretty good with the MA. Perhaps MA rubbed off on her in her brief marriage to Shannon
Iggy is also a party animal so maybe there will be more dancing than woohooing!
@Mikezumi , LOL!! I’m surprised thenboys didn’t take a woohoo break innthe middle of the wedding too!
**That dress is gorgeous!! i love the accents..
**He’s gonna hurt his bits like that!!
**So whomever buys the ice sculpture is basically buying a puddle.
**Beckah being a 🐸🐸🐸🐸...must be the name!
**is that Jensen in bed with your SS? . Lucky gal!!
@Mikezumi Forgive me for taking so long to catch up!
Hey! The boys are Adults now. (Jensen's scared face! ) They are both still so handsome.
Becky looks pis'sed! I wonder what was going down at the party?
Shark Rackett...that guy will always have a bad taste in my mouth because of my Holland Family Story.
Stein.
Awesome bowling pics as usual.
The girls all look beautiful in their prom dresses. (Dang! Quite the attendance!)
Poor Zumi eating alone...
You DO have handsome boys! Shirtless overload!
Yeah you can TRY to hide that evidence Jared, but we ALL know what really happened!
Wooooo, almost saw fully nekkid Jensen there!
Dang not ending well pillow fights! Trinity must not be an enjoyable one to have one with...
I hear the name Iggy and I think Iggy Koopa:
Forgive me...my inner geek is coming out. Your Iggy is certainly more handsome!
Hey Connor!
Beautiful painting and...almost fully nekkid pic of Jensen again.
Aww, you caught the boys holding hands in bed.
Dang! Look at Drew in the air hitting that dummy with BOTH feet!
Sorry weekends are so rough.
Ice chair! Would be counterproductive...it would make one's bu'tt wet!
Aww, Drew and the Butterfly. Those ones are my favorites.
I like those casual clothes on Zumi. They are cute.
Homework on birthdays should be banned!
Lol! Amery looked like he stepped out of the 18th century upon age up! Handsome guy!
Alrighty I am done for page 6. Got two more to go.
I can see all the fun you're having with this save and it's enjoyable to read about.
Ok I totally LOL'D when you cancelled the mood swings moodlet on Chance! I do it ALL the time!!! I hate that thing!
(A minute later and I'm still laughing! I'm sure easily amused tonight. Maybe it's because I need a good laugh right now...)
I see a money bag on the tree! (If only money DID grow on trees...)
Amery's silly face. And he's got a nice chest too.
Miriam needs to wear a longer shirt to cover that preggo belly.
Aww, baby belly rub. Ok, that was cute!
Love the gym pics. And glad Miriam didn't go into labor and mess things up.
Wow! That was one hott kiss between Drew and May! They are cute together.
Poor Jensen and his achy muscles (about the way my hubby has been feeling lately Well, all the time actually)
Did you give Jensen a keyboard or did the game automatically give him one? I hate it when the game does that...
Trinity sticking her head through the wall! I love glitches like that!
Yeah, forget fishing kiddos when you can watch the stars with your lover.
Not a fan of the childish trait eh? I'm not so much either.
PB&J? Try PB&Nutella Chance!
Do you ever wonder why the hot tub is neon GREEN when it breaks?
Cute private wedding. Adorable kiss at the end!
Cake for dinner? Sure.
Amery skinny dipping and the heart censor!
I wonder why Beckah was so moody? Wait, scratch that...I know why.
Jensen and Zumi sleeping together? Maybe Jensen felt drawn to her from a past life?
What!? Jared rejected Jensen...twice!? I bet he was moody because Beckah was moody with him...
Jared be like, "Are you kidding me Drew! Whoopie Cushions are SO old school!"
Ugh! What a PAIN with graduation! (Funny what your son said to you about it ) Graduation is always a pain in my game...no matter how big or small the family is...
LOL! I was wondering who would hit the shower bo'oby trap and it was Trinity! Unexpected!
It bugs me when the women propose in the game...for that very reason. The name change.
Jared's just watching over his baby girl...although that may have not been the best time.
That was one fortunate mind meld!
Page 8: Beckah's birthday! Are you so excited that you just can't hide it?
Ugh, I hate those dreads. Love the purple outfit you chose for her.
She is pretty...looks a lot like Jensen.
Sorry to overwhelm you with all the comments. I just can't help myself sometimes.
@emorrill What an impressive catch up! Thanks for the lovely comments I am having lots of fun with this family!
Nutella is a little scary to me. That stuff never seems to go off even if the jar has been open for a long time!
I assume Iggy Koopa is a Super Mario character from the look of him. It's been many many years since I played a Mario game! I won some money a long time ago and one of the things I bought was a Super Nintendo and my sister and I would play Mario games together I don't know when Super Nintendos came out but this would have been soon after they did.
I'm thrilled that Zumi doesn't have to wear the limited old lady EA clothes now
Sorry your hubby isn't doing to well *hugs*
Maybe the hot tub breaks because someone peed in it
I don't mind women proposing in the game but I do prefer for the male name to be carried through.
Thanks again for commenting I have been busy today but I will get to your update (which I skimmed briefly earlier) when I have finished dinner
Jensen woke about 20 sim minutes before Jared and stared at the wall until he got up.
Forget "Good morning". He went straight for woohoo!
The boys went clear across the house and yard and used the bed that didn't need making!
Jared seems to like whatever Jensen is suggesting
The weekend was over so breakfast couldn't be delayed even if the boys weren't finished Fortunately they were
Chance woke with a wish to find seeds and Beckah is working on her wish to catch every type of fish.
Drew woke with a wish to find a rock. There is a spawner on the far side of the brown house.
When Chance got his seed he came home and watered the garden. Getting to level 8 as per his wish is taking forever!
After several woohoos the boys finally made their own bed!
After gardening, Mikezumi worked on a painting and when her social bar needed filling I let her speak with Jared since Jensen was busy.
While talking with Jared, Mikezumi rolled a wish to catch a bug.
I'd been keeping Beckah away from her dads and her social bar needed topping so Mikezumi chatted with her for a bit.
When Mikezumi rounded the corner to play catch with Beckah, I saw the boys were using the outdoor shower.
The boys did their homework together when they got home from their after school activities.
Marlin aged up the previous evening and I invited him over when he finished work. His work outfit left a lot to be desired!
Since Drew was free, I had him invite Marlin in and, after a little chatting, ask him to move in
Mikezumi had been playing catch with Beckah but when Beckah went inside to talk with Marlin, she made a beeline for Jensen. Although I try to keep her from bothering the boys too often, I didn't stop her this time as Jared was shooting hoops.
I checked Marlin's LTW while he was eating dinner. It was Reach Max Influence with all Social Groups. Since he is a friendly sim, I checked his relationships and he had more than 20 friends so I changed his LTW to Super Popular. I spent the LTR on rewards that would stand him in good stead in his future life
Drew had a wish to give May an amorous hug. I found her at the pool with Don, her father, and sent him over.
When I checked on them a little later, Drew was swimming alone.
Back at home, Beckah and Marlin were having a little hot tub fun
I like this boy! He looks just like his mother who is gender switched from my Paul Walker sim
I didn't realize Mikezumi had finished her painting and was bothering Jared.
After Mikezumi went off to read a book Jared came out and mopped up the puddle his daughter and future son-in-law had made
I decided to get this show on the road and had Marlin propose.
The newly engaged couple autonomously watched the stars before bed
@Mikezumi , Oh Yeah!! Jared is peeved because Jensen spent the night with your SS!!
**Jared is like you want that woman you just go for it! hehe!!
**Oh well looks like all is forgiven... (sorry I like drama!)
**Amery looks mighty fine jogging in those sweatpants!
**Yeah...I can understand why the graduation fiasco peeved you! Stooped uncontrollable Sims...
**WooHoo AND blue hair! *snort*
**Nice timing Jared...and ewwwww, you're watching your daughter woohoo!
**Poor Iggy...
**Soooooo, Jared pushed all his WooHoo knowledge into poor sweet innocent Chance's brain, Iggy is totally going to benefit from that!
**Amery and Trinity are fast movers!
**Beckah was much improved after your hair/clothes tweaks.
**Cutie Drew doing his ballet..
**Chance...the dancing nut! I seriously love the screenshots you can get with the dancing! I have some gorgeous ones of Jared.
**Ohhhh nice made bed! WooHoo....
**Awww, ladybug picture!
**Look at your SS trying to spy on the guys in the outdoor shower...she is being sly about it.
**Chance and Drew doing homework...cute picture!
**Much prefer Marlin with his aged up hair, though like you said that work outfit is just ....interesting.
**My my, Marlin is adorable without that long hair (and I love long hair on guys), Beckah is a lucky girl!
**Yup, they are a super cute couple, I bet they are going to have super cute kids! Congrats on the engagement..
@Mikezumi The boys certainly stayed busy!
I really like Beckah's outfit. She looks great.
Dag, those boys are not shy at all!
What in the world does Marlin do? Awful shorts! And, he's barefoot!
As much as I like long hair, I like him better with the short hair he got as a YA.
They look great together and should make beautiful babies.
Congrats on them getting engaged!
@Charlottesmom I think there might have been something up before Jensen slept with my SS but I have no clue what! At least they made up quickly
The graduation took all day instead of just the morning as it would with controlled sims. I was fuming!
Chance didn't even have one skill point but now he's a master woohooer! LOL
I adore party animals and watching them dance! My long-time favourite, Eddie who was made by R and I when I got Late Night, was a party animal and watching him dance was always fun, especially when he went to parties and would dance on counters
I thought Marlin should have short hair now he is grown. The long hair was just a teen thing
Thanks for the lovely comments
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I think Marlin is in law enforcement. I didn't fix his work outfit yet but will do that when I next open my game.
I love long hair too but Marlin mostly had long hair as a teen because he hadn't come into his full beauty yet. Now he is grown, I don't want to cover that beautiful face
Jensen woke first and went straight out to the kitchen to play his guitar.
Jared woke about half an hour later and greeted him with a shy kiss
They ended up in the basement
It took them a while to come to the breakfast table.
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!
Chance finally got to level 7 while watering the garden. Only one more skill point to get his wish.
Drew woke with a wish to fish and Beckah is still working on catching every type of fish. She might not get it before she leaves home but you can't say I didn't try!
I saw they were down to one drink so I had Mikezumi prepare some more.
"I'm sorry for nearly amputating your arm with the dishes earlier. Let me make it up to you."
When I checked on Beckah, I saw that Shark Racket had joined her.
Really, boys! Can't you see there's non-family on the lot?!
Chance and Drew had a field trip to the Bistro. Connor, now adult, was chaperone.
Drew and Alice, Connor's daughter, didn't make it into the Bistro Chance, Connor and Dedric Svard did.
I knew the game would still count him as being on the field trip so I had him do his homework and read a book until it was over.
I spent so long watching the teens that when I got back to the house I discovered that the boys had invited Shark inside and that Jared had forgotten to get dressed after his shower!
I don't know why I bothered to dress him since they were about to woohoo again!
Mikezumi's social bar needed filling so I had her join Shark at the TV.
Shark had been watching the Romance Channel but, from the look on Mikezumi's face, I think he was actually watching something a little racier
When Chance came out of the Bistro, Drew got pushed to the bus as I knew he would. I had even had a couple of popups indicating that he was taking part in the field trip.
When the boys got home, I had Drew introduce himself to Shark since he had already done his homework at the Bistro.
Chance came home with a wish to do a cardio exercise. I didn't realize he was back from his jog until I saw him talking with his dads.
When Marlin got home from work, I had him fill his fun bar by having shower woohoo with Beckah then sent them straight to the wedding arch I put chairs out but the family ignored them
Only Chance and Jared were reacting.
Finally a reaction from the peanut gallery! I'm not sure why the boys changed out of their formal outfits! I noticed it happened at Amery's wedding as well.
This was the closest to a smile that I could get from Beckah during the cake cutting. Trinity did much better!
The cake was so light it was invisible! I had read about this on the forum and had not encountered it because I usually use a different cake.
After cake, Mikezumi got a text that Jared's party was starting. Jared and his wife disappeared into the bedroom just after they arrived.
Back at home, the newlyweds watched the stars
And Jared and Jensen were working up to their next woohoo
Jared's son Cary was preparing a meal.
Another of Jared's sons, Nick, arrived a little later.
My game stopped responding as I was lining up my next party pic. When I replayed the game Beckah and Marlin had a private wedding and Mikezumi and the boys did not attend Jared's party but I am using the pics because, in my mind, it still happened. I only took 2 pics of the new afternoon/evening.
@Mikezumi Ouch is right, that did look painful.
Strange that Drew didn't go inside with the field trip. Silly glitches, but, at least it counted.
Conner looks like an adult! The same, but enough difference that it is obvious he is not a young adult anymore.
Poor Chance, homework alone.
Congrats to Beckah and Marlin. Her gown is very pretty! I think I will put my wedding packs in before I have another wedding.
Never seen the invisible cake either. Strange! I wonder if invisible cake has calories? hehe sorry, too early in the am for jokes!
Bummer your game froze up. I use my pics even if I don't repeat whatever I've lost with freezes.
Just to let you know, Autumn was 10 hours pregnant, 50% chance of twins when I checked after she started with the nausea. No sex has been determined yet as that is not showing. It did tell me male on the last one. I don't remember if that showed up before her notice or after. I think she had the 50% chance before. The nursery would need enlarging if twins happens!
@Mikezumi So...you found a mod that allows regular Adult clothes on Elder sims? (Am I understanding that right?) If so, awesome! Then I will need to find it.
Yes, Iggy Koopa is from Super Mario Brothers. I'm thinking of him on Super Mario World from the SNES.
The way you dialogue the pictures is so amusing sometimes. I love your sense of humor.
Marlin and Beckah are such a good looking couple. Very cute together.
----
Nice catch of a BIG heart on the elevator floor there.
Love the way you madeover Connor.
LOL! Clever placement of the camera there where Jared's hand was covering his unmentionables.
Beckah's dress is so pretty and lol that the family ignored the chairs.
I love weddings and all the romance going on.
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I believe the field trip problem was caused by the fence around the Bistro. I know that the hedge around the Science Facility is also a problem so I remove that at the start of each new save. I rarely have a problem with the Bistro fence but CravenLestat was the one who told me it can be a problem when one of my sims got stuck in the hedge at the Science Facility a while back.
Occasionally if I have a lot of kids coming home on the school bus and someone comes home with them and they don't get on the curb when they get off the bus, the kid will go home without visiting.
I just did a quick Google and apparently it's the Monte Vista wedding cake is invisible. Ah well, it filled their hunger bars so that's all that counts. I guess that means it does have calories
That's odd that a sex hasn't shown up for Autumn yet! Of course it might be normal for traveling sims. I have never had a sim get pregnant away from the home world. It usually only takes a few sim minutes for the sex to show up when they get pregnant at home.
I'm going to be mean and hope that Autumn and Rafe have twins
@emorrill Thanks for the lovely comments
The elder clothes are conversions from EA and a few CC creators' clothes and shoes. There are also some teen conversions. You can find them HERE.
I love having Connor in my saves and, although I don't change his clothes, I do like to make him look good with nice hair and beard.
I prefer doing private weddings but since installing Generations it is nice to use the arch and letting my sims eat cake - at least when I don't pick the invisible one
Jared woke first and almost made it to Mikezumi's bed before Jensen interrupted him.
I know the "blow a kiss" animation has a bigger footprint than other romantic interactions but I was surprised the boys walked clear across the living area for it!
The boys got in an elevator woohoo before the others woke for breakfast.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to grow a grape plant but I cancelled it because they have too many grapes already from wishes from the kids when they were starting out in gardening. Instead I let her have a wish to give Chance a friendly hug which she rolled the previous evening when they were chatting.
Marlin didn't have a waking wish but had got the gardening skill the previous day so when I had him water the plants he rolled a wish to level up, which he did.
Chance's waking wish was to play the guitar and Drew's to finish a book.
When Marlin finished with the watering, I had Mikezumi finish the gardening. Marlin is a virtuoso and came to the house with his own keyboard. He rolled a wish to learn the guitar skill while playing so I bought him one.
Jared leaves books all over the place because Jensen keeps interrupting him as he is about to read!
Beckah's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. I had her do a small painting so I could move them out quicker She got her wish with this masterpiece.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to give Marlin a friendly hug over breakfast.
Jensen had interrupted Jared's reading so they could take their morning shower
Marlin got his wish to learn the guitar skill and rolled a wish to jam with someone. Beckah, although artistic, has always rolled lots of music wishes.
After their shower the boys went their separate ways.
While Jared, Jensen and Mikezumi were busy, I moved Beckah and Marlin into their own home. Less than 2 sim hours after moving them I got a popup that they are expecting a baby
Jared must have been missing Jensen and came out to flirt with him. Mikezumi had just finished an ice sculpture of a big head. She got a lot of money for this one!
Chance had Music Class and Alice Frio (Connor's daughter) came home with Drew.
Drew did his homework alone because Alice received a text from her cousin, Noel, as soon as she arrived.
He was just putting his homework away when she started on hers.
I found the boys playing catch out back
Chance did his homework alone when he got home from Music Class.
Alice helped herself to a book and read for a while.
I know I gave you glasses, Drew, but that doesn't mean you are a bookworm! This boy reads a lot!
Chance came home from school with a wish to spar with someone.
I noticed Mikezumi was heading out to the boys. She finished her painting without me realizing it.
Because I was distracted by Mikezumi interrupting the boys, I missed a great aerial kick from Drew which finished the fight!
Even with Alice visiting, the table seems too empty! Chance grows up in 2 days and I hope he gets on to the baby making straight away
When Chance leveled up in the morning he rolled a wish to learn a new song. He had started on it before school and it only took a few minutes to complete which triggered a wish to play in front of 4 sims. Love those easy wishes!
Chance also had a wish to prepare pancakes which was locked in since breakfast.
Drew, when not reading, can usually be found practising MA.
Chance, when not drinking or dancing, often uses the upright piano
Mikezumi got stuck in the table when she got up to go to bed.
@Mikezumi Marlin and Beckah make a cute couple. Love the pic of them playing together.
Congrats to them on the pregnancy!
Chance will be aging in just two days. Wow...new generation to start soon.
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I should probably check my SP speed since both Amery and Beckah got babies so soon after leaving home
I am thinking that when Chance and Iggy take over that I will take control of Jensen and Jared. I will still mostly let them do what they want, as I do with most of my sims, but will give them a chance to get some wishes granted
Jensen woke first and went into the kitchen to play his guitar.
He didn't get to play long before Jared woke and found him
Chance had a wish to fish before 6am.
I doubt he saw anything he hadn't seen before
When they were done showering, Jensen came in for a drink.
Jared must have a tough opponent
The boys managed to get an elevator woohoo in before Mikezumi called the family to breakfast.
Drew's waking wish was to chat with May. I had him call her briefly before sending him out to water the garden. It didn't trigger a wish to level up so I had Chance join him after he recycled the paper.
I glanced over at the park and saw Marlin. He was calling out to someone so I had a look at the other side of the park and saw Viktor Valquist's daughters, Sandi and Kari. He was challenging Sandi to a chess match. I got a popup a little later that he had lost.
One of Mikezumi's recent paintings.
I saw Jared playing chess and couldn't see Jensen at first as he was in the nook off the main living area. Jensen had found the drum kit!
Mikezumi's social bar needed filling so I had her join Jared at the chess table.
Drew had Art Class so the boys did their homework alone.
Jensen shot some hoops while Jared played some more chess.
When it was getting close to dinnertime, I had Mikezumi take everyone to the Bistro
Emma and her son to Connor, Nikolas, were there. The little boy is Daniel Herrerra, Pedro Herrerra's third child.
A little later, Alice joined her mother and brother.
The family got some chatting in while waiting for Jensen to come out.
Just as they passed Amery's house, I got a popup that he and Trinity are expecting another baby!
Mikezumi watched the boys flirting when she should have been watching the TV
When I sent Chance to finish off a painting he had started recently, he leveled up to 8 and rolled a wish to paint something brilliant. He got his wish before bed. Drew broke some space rocks before he went to bed. There is a pink diamond among the gems
@Mikezumi That is a cute picture of Jared. Is it time to get him glasses? He seems to be straining his eyes.
Interesting painting!
Jensen is adorable playing the drums!
Goodness, I didn't know they had the first baby....or did I and forgot? I knew they were preggers. Well, congrats!

Since Drew was free, I had him invite Marlin in and, after a little chatting, ask him to move in
Mikezumi had been playing catch with Beckah but when Beckah went inside to talk with Marlin, she made a beeline for Jensen. Although I try to keep her from bothering the boys too often, I didn't stop her this time as Jared was shooting hoops.
I checked Marlin's LTW while he was eating dinner. It was Reach Max Influence with all Social Groups. Since he is a friendly sim, I checked his relationships and he had more than 20 friends so I changed his LTW to Super Popular. I spent the LTR on rewards that would stand him in good stead in his future life
Drew had a wish to give May an amorous hug. I found her at the pool with Don, her father, and sent him over.
When I checked on them a little later, Drew was swimming alone.
Back at home, Beckah and Marlin were having a little hot tub fun
I like this boy!
I didn't realize Mikezumi had finished her painting and was bothering Jared.
After Mikezumi went off to read a book Jared came out and mopped up the puddle his daughter and future son-in-law had made
I decided to get this show on the road and had Marlin propose.
The newly engaged couple autonomously watched the stars before bed

**Jared is like you want that woman you just go for it! hehe!!
**Oh well looks like all is forgiven...
**Amery looks mighty fine jogging in those sweatpants!
**Yeah...I can understand why the graduation fiasco peeved you! Stooped uncontrollable Sims...
**WooHoo AND blue hair! *snort*
**Nice timing Jared...and ewwwww, you're watching your daughter woohoo!
**Poor Iggy...
**Soooooo, Jared pushed all his WooHoo knowledge into poor sweet innocent Chance's brain, Iggy is totally going to benefit from that!
**Amery and Trinity are fast movers!
**Beckah was much improved after your hair/clothes tweaks.
**Cutie Drew doing his ballet..
**Chance...the dancing nut! I seriously love the screenshots you can get with the dancing! I have some gorgeous ones of Jared.
**Ohhhh nice made bed! WooHoo....
**Awww, ladybug picture!
**Look at your SS trying to spy on the guys in the outdoor shower...she is being sly about it.
**Chance and Drew doing homework...cute picture!
**Much prefer Marlin with his aged up hair, though like you said that work outfit is just ....interesting.
**My my, Marlin is adorable without that long hair (and I love long hair on guys), Beckah is a lucky girl!
**Yup, they are a super cute couple, I bet they are going to have super cute kids! Congrats on the engagement..
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I really like Beckah's outfit. She looks great.
Dag, those boys are not shy at all!
What in the world does Marlin do? Awful shorts! And, he's barefoot!
As much as I like long hair, I like him better with the short hair he got as a YA.
They look great together and should make beautiful babies.
Congrats on them getting engaged!
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
The graduation took all day instead of just the morning as it would with controlled sims. I was fuming!
Chance didn't even have one skill point but now he's a master woohooer! LOL
I adore party animals and watching them dance! My long-time favourite, Eddie who was made by R and I when I got Late Night, was a party animal and watching him dance was always fun, especially when he went to parties and would dance on counters
I thought Marlin should have short hair now he is grown. The long hair was just a teen thing
Thanks for the lovely comments
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I think Marlin is in law enforcement. I didn't fix his work outfit yet but will do that when I next open my game.
I love long hair too but Marlin mostly had long hair as a teen because he hadn't come into his full beauty yet. Now he is grown, I don't want to cover that beautiful face

Jared woke about half an hour later and greeted him with a shy kiss
They ended up in the basement
It took them a while to come to the breakfast table.
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!
Chance finally got to level 7 while watering the garden. Only one more skill point to get his wish.
Drew woke with a wish to fish and Beckah is still working on catching every type of fish. She might not get it before she leaves home but you can't say I didn't try!
I saw they were down to one drink so I had Mikezumi prepare some more.
"I'm sorry for nearly amputating your arm with the dishes earlier. Let me make it up to you."
When I checked on Beckah, I saw that Shark Racket had joined her.
Really, boys! Can't you see there's non-family on the lot?!
Chance and Drew had a field trip to the Bistro. Connor, now adult, was chaperone.
Drew and Alice, Connor's daughter, didn't make it into the Bistro
I knew the game would still count him as being on the field trip so I had him do his homework and read a book until it was over.
I spent so long watching the teens that when I got back to the house I discovered that the boys had invited Shark inside and that Jared had forgotten to get dressed after his shower!
I don't know why I bothered to dress him since they were about to woohoo again!
Mikezumi's social bar needed filling so I had her join Shark at the TV.
Shark had been watching the Romance Channel but, from the look on Mikezumi's face, I think he was actually watching something a little racier
When Chance came out of the Bistro, Drew got pushed to the bus as I knew he would. I had even had a couple of popups indicating that he was taking part in the field trip.
When the boys got home, I had Drew introduce himself to Shark since he had already done his homework at the Bistro.

When Marlin got home from work, I had him fill his fun bar by having shower woohoo with Beckah then sent them straight to the wedding arch
Only Chance and Jared were reacting.
Finally a reaction from the peanut gallery! I'm not sure why the boys changed out of their formal outfits! I noticed it happened at Amery's wedding as well.
This was the closest to a smile that I could get from Beckah during the cake cutting. Trinity did much better!
The cake was so light it was invisible!
After cake, Mikezumi got a text that Jared's party was starting. Jared and his wife disappeared into the bedroom just after they arrived.
Back at home, the newlyweds watched the stars
And Jared and Jensen were working up to their next woohoo
Jared's son Cary was preparing a meal.
Another of Jared's sons, Nick, arrived a little later.
My game stopped responding as I was lining up my next party pic. When I replayed the game Beckah and Marlin had a private wedding and Mikezumi and the boys did not attend Jared's party but I am using the pics because, in my mind, it still happened. I only took 2 pics of the new afternoon/evening.

Strange that Drew didn't go inside with the field trip. Silly glitches, but, at least it counted.
Conner looks like an adult! The same, but enough difference that it is obvious he is not a young adult anymore.
Poor Chance, homework alone.
Congrats to Beckah and Marlin. Her gown is very pretty! I think I will put my wedding packs in before I have another wedding.
Never seen the invisible cake either. Strange! I wonder if invisible cake has calories? hehe sorry, too early in the am for jokes!
Bummer your game froze up. I use my pics even if I don't repeat whatever I've lost with freezes.
Just to let you know, Autumn was 10 hours pregnant, 50% chance of twins when I checked after she started with the nausea. No sex has been determined yet as that is not showing. It did tell me male on the last one. I don't remember if that showed up before her notice or after. I think she had the 50% chance before. The nursery would need enlarging if twins happens!
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Yes, Iggy Koopa is from Super Mario Brothers.
The way you dialogue the pictures is so amusing sometimes.
Marlin and Beckah are such a good looking couple. Very cute together.
----
Nice catch of a BIG heart on the elevator floor there.
Love the way you madeover Connor.
LOL! Clever placement of the camera there where Jared's hand was covering his unmentionables.
Beckah's dress is so pretty and lol that the family ignored the chairs.
I love weddings and all the romance going on.
Awesomes!
I believe the field trip problem was caused by the fence around the Bistro. I know that the hedge around the Science Facility is also a problem so I remove that at the start of each new save. I rarely have a problem with the Bistro fence but CravenLestat was the one who told me it can be a problem when one of my sims got stuck in the hedge at the Science Facility a while back.
Occasionally if I have a lot of kids coming home on the school bus and someone comes home with them and they don't get on the curb when they get off the bus, the kid will go home without visiting.
I just did a quick Google and apparently it's the Monte Vista wedding cake is invisible. Ah well, it filled their hunger bars so that's all that counts. I guess that means it does have calories
That's odd that a sex hasn't shown up for Autumn yet! Of course it might be normal for traveling sims. I have never had a sim get pregnant away from the home world. It usually only takes a few sim minutes for the sex to show up when they get pregnant at home.
I'm going to be mean and hope that Autumn and Rafe have twins
@emorrill Thanks for the lovely comments
The elder clothes are conversions from EA and a few CC creators' clothes and shoes. There are also some teen conversions. You can find them HERE.
I love having Connor in my saves and, although I don't change his clothes, I do like to make him look good with nice hair and beard.
I prefer doing private weddings but since installing Generations it is nice to use the arch and letting my sims eat cake - at least when I don't pick the invisible one

I know the "blow a kiss" animation has a bigger footprint than other romantic interactions but I was surprised the boys walked clear across the living area for it!
The boys got in an elevator woohoo before the others woke for breakfast.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to grow a grape plant but I cancelled it because they have too many grapes already from wishes from the kids when they were starting out in gardening. Instead I let her have a wish to give Chance a friendly hug which she rolled the previous evening when they were chatting.
Marlin didn't have a waking wish but had got the gardening skill the previous day so when I had him water the plants he rolled a wish to level up, which he did.
Chance's waking wish was to play the guitar and Drew's to finish a book.
When Marlin finished with the watering, I had Mikezumi finish the gardening. Marlin is a virtuoso and came to the house with his own keyboard. He rolled a wish to learn the guitar skill while playing so I bought him one.
Jared leaves books all over the place because Jensen keeps interrupting him as he is about to read!
Beckah's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. I had her do a small painting so I could move them out quicker
Mikezumi rolled a wish to give Marlin a friendly hug over breakfast.
Jensen had interrupted Jared's reading so they could take their morning shower
Marlin got his wish to learn the guitar skill and rolled a wish to jam with someone. Beckah, although artistic, has always rolled lots of music wishes.
After their shower the boys went their separate ways.

Jared must have been missing Jensen and came out to flirt with him. Mikezumi had just finished an ice sculpture of a big head. She got a lot of money for this one!
Chance had Music Class and Alice Frio (Connor's daughter) came home with Drew.
Drew did his homework alone because Alice received a text from her cousin, Noel, as soon as she arrived.
He was just putting his homework away when she started on hers.
I found the boys playing catch out back
Chance did his homework alone when he got home from Music Class.
Alice helped herself to a book and read for a while.
I know I gave you glasses, Drew, but that doesn't mean you are a bookworm! This boy reads a lot!
Chance came home from school with a wish to spar with someone.
I noticed Mikezumi was heading out to the boys. She finished her painting without me realizing it.
Because I was distracted by Mikezumi interrupting the boys, I missed a great aerial kick from Drew which finished the fight!
Even with Alice visiting, the table seems too empty! Chance grows up in 2 days and I hope he gets on to the baby making straight away
When Chance leveled up in the morning he rolled a wish to learn a new song. He had started on it before school and it only took a few minutes to complete which triggered a wish to play in front of 4 sims. Love those easy wishes!
Chance also had a wish to prepare pancakes which was locked in since breakfast.
Drew, when not reading, can usually be found practising MA.
Chance, when not drinking or dancing, often uses the upright piano
Mikezumi got stuck in the table when she got up to go to bed.

@Mikezumi Marlin and Beckah make a cute couple. Love the pic of them playing together.
Congrats to them on the pregnancy!
Chance will be aging in just two days. Wow...new generation to start soon.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
I should probably check my SP speed since both Amery and Beckah got babies so soon after leaving home
I am thinking that when Chance and Iggy take over that I will take control of Jensen and Jared. I will still mostly let them do what they want, as I do with most of my sims, but will give them a chance to get some wishes granted

He didn't get to play long before Jared woke and found him
Chance had a wish to fish before 6am.
I doubt he saw anything he hadn't seen before
When they were done showering, Jensen came in for a drink.
Jared must have a tough opponent
The boys managed to get an elevator woohoo in before Mikezumi called the family to breakfast.
Drew's waking wish was to chat with May. I had him call her briefly before sending him out to water the garden. It didn't trigger a wish to level up so I had Chance join him after he recycled the paper.
I glanced over at the park and saw Marlin. He was calling out to someone so I had a look at the other side of the park and saw Viktor Valquist's daughters, Sandi and Kari. He was challenging Sandi to a chess match. I got a popup a little later that he had lost.

Mikezumi's social bar needed filling so I had her join Jared at the chess table.
Drew had Art Class so the boys did their homework alone.
Jensen shot some hoops while Jared played some more chess.
When it was getting close to dinnertime, I had Mikezumi take everyone to the Bistro
Emma and her son to Connor, Nikolas, were there. The little boy is Daniel Herrerra, Pedro Herrerra's third child.
A little later, Alice joined her mother and brother.
The family got some chatting in while waiting for Jensen to come out.
Just as they passed Amery's house, I got a popup that he and Trinity are expecting another baby!
Mikezumi watched the boys flirting when she should have been watching the TV
When I sent Chance to finish off a painting he had started recently, he leveled up to 8 and rolled a wish to paint something brilliant. He got his wish before bed.

Interesting painting!
Jensen is adorable playing the drums!
Goodness, I didn't know they had the first baby....or did I and forgot? I knew they were preggers. Well, congrats!
