This morning starts off with Sakura getting up first and giving Samuel his morning bottle.
While she was sleeping Sakura had gotten an idea for a new book so while Sam's finishing off his bottle she gets started on a children's book called "The Little Werewolf that Could"
Sam finishes his bottle and starts his little hunt. He manages to find 2 ladybugs.
When I next check on Samuel he is scratching up the rug in his room. (Bad little cub. )
Sakura heads upstairs to check on her naughty little cub and continues his walking lessons.
I send Stephen to the fishing spot where I had seen the alien the nght before so he can collect the space rocks there. He also finds some flowers to pick.
Stephen then transforms and starts hunting. Once he's finished he introduces himself to Henry McGlum.
Hunting stats
Ruby, Red Admiral Butterfly, Gold
When I check back on the house I see Sam is still playing with his blocks like a good boy and Sakura has started a new painting.
Stephen heads over to the Art Studio. I have him introduce himself to Norman Joy and Tom Shallow.
I learn that Tom is evil and since June Shallow is already a werewolf I figure he is the perfect candidate for a cursed bite.
Samuel gets his evening bottle then Sakura gives him a bath and puts him to bed.
Sakura was just falling asleep when she hears a noise outside and decides to investigate.
Sakura is returned with the Abducted moodlet. She was not probed.
She returns to her bed hoping she doesn't have any nightmares.

Because of the adventure from the night before Sakura sleeps in the next morning. While Samuel is still sleeping Stephen practices his guitar. (Yes he's still in his night clothes.)
Bonus pics of the fishing spot I had made a while back and added close to the house.
When Samuel wakes up Stephen gives him his morning bottle. Once that is finished Sam heads over to the xylophone and starts playing.
Stephen heads downstairs to work on his guitar skill. Hunter Cotteneye had called a few days earlier and told Stephen that if he earned $50 in tips that Hunter would give him a reward. Stephen only has 1 more level to go before he can play for tips.
Sakura wakes up about the time that Samuel learns all he can from the xylophone. She takes he son downstairs so they can listen to his daddy play his guitar.
After listening to Stephen for a bit Sakura is starving so she gives Sam a little cuddle and grabs some leftover pancakes to eat.
Samuel has a whole new area to practice his hunting in. After much searching he found a Cerambyx beetle. He then starts playing with his blocks.
Stephen finally reaches level 5 in guitar. He heads over to the playground. (That seems to be the new hot spot. When I check there are always people there. Mostly in the adult area) Stephen opens his guitar case and starts playing.
Sakura works on her book while Sam entertains himself with the blocks.
Several hours later Stephen gets his $50 in tips. He goes to see Hunter Cotteneye who gives him some money. (I didn't catch the amount)
Stephen returns home and transforms so that he can start hunting. He sees that they have mail..... It turned out to be a love letter to Sakura from Don Lothario. Stephen then starts his hunt.
hunting stats
Ladybug, Moth, Supernovium
I had thought that Sam had seen his dad transform before and was OK with it, but, I guess I was wrong because when I checked back in poor little Sam had a dirty diaper and had passed out. (His bars were still in the green before the transformation)
Sakura manages to wake Sam up takes him upstairs for a bath then puts him to bed.
Once Stephen finishes his hunt he joins Sakura in bed.

While Sam is drinking his bottle Sakurk works on her small painting.
Sakura then takes Sam downstairs. She eats her breakfast while Samuel plays with his pegs.
When Stephen gets up he eats breakfast the reads to Sam.
Sakura continues working on her book.
Sam plays with his blocks after his dad finishes reading the book.
Stephen calls Don to see if he wants to group up and go hunting together. They meet at the pond by the house. First thing they do is sniff each other.
Then the hunt begins.
Hunting stats
Emerald, Soulpeace,Lapis Lazuli, Iriduim, Silver
While looking around I heard a horse and noticed that one managed to get caught in the woman's bathroom. Reset sim didn't work since it doesn't have a name so I had to remove a wall to set it free.
Sakura finished writing The little werewolf that could. It is a best seller!! She gets 6 royalty payments of $232.
After checking on Sam Sakura goes upstairs and works on her painting.
Sam decides to become one with his potty.
When I chek back on Stephen and Don, Don is growling at Stephen. I don't think Stephen liked being growled at.
(Stephen's thinking "This will teach you to send a love letter to MY wife")
Next they play fetch.
When I go back to the house Samuel is being a bad cub again and scratching the rug.
It's getting late so Stephen ends his outing and returns home. The family then goes to sleep.

Because of the cute pics that others have posted of their toddlers in the highchair, I broke down and got one for Samuel.
I had also heard that the walker can give toddlers handiness points if they play with it. So Sam gets to spend the morning there. @Charlottesmom I used your fox pattern to get the eyes on the walker.
Sakura starts a new Sci-fi novel. It's inspired by her recent 'adventure' and is called "The Alien Chronicles".
Stephen gets a call fom the local jail. The locks on their cells are starting to malfunction and the warden wants Stephen to fix them. He agrees and gets $800 for his trouble.
When Stephen returns home he cuts the gems and smelts the ore that he had found the previous few days.
Sakura spends some quality time with her son. I tried to get some close up pics and because of the angle/location of the shots Sam disappeared. Fortunately, when I moved the camera, he did show up again right away.
Stephen and Sakura don't spend much time at the TV. Usually if they watch it's the non skilling channels. This time Stephen decided to try out the video game system they had bought to help entertain guests at parties.
Here's a cute pic of Sam playing in his toybox.
Sakura finishes the small painting she had started. It's another brilliant one and is worth $80.
I send Stephen over to the Consignment store so he can place the metals and gems he has on consignment.
While there he runs into Hunter Cotteneye. After talking for a bit they decide to play fight.
Stephen wins.
He then show Hunter how beautiful and powerful his teeth are.
Hunter "I think you chipped my tooth"
Next Stephen and Hunter go on a group hunt.........
Actually Stephen hunts while Hunter reads a book.
Hunting stats
Septarian Nodule, Soulpeace, Iron, Japanese Beetle, Titanium
When I check on the house Sam is watching Sakura play a video game.
Just because he is so freaking CUTE!!!!!
Sakura pays their latest round of bills for $329.
Since I forgot to get a picture of them sleeping I leave you with a werewolf playing the Guitar.

He gives Sam a bottle and heads downstairs to eat some of the leftover Chili Con Carne Sakura had made. I guess it was a little too spicy.
Stalker shot of the family after breakfast.
After a little "fun" Sakura continues working on her painting ans Stephen Smelts the ore in his inventory.
Stephen then upgrades the speakers on their stereo.
Since Stephen has been getting out of the house while Sakura stayed home with the cub she decides to goto the bookstore and buy a few more toddler art books for Sam. She also picks up a couple of songs for Stephen to learn how to play.
Once she leaves the bookstore, Sakura transforms and does some hunting.
Cute pic of Sam playing in the upstairs toybox.
Sakura reads on of the books she just bought to Samuel. They are sitting in front of the art easels.
Once the book is read it's time for bed.

I forgot to take a picture of them paying the bills today but, they totaled $330.
The day starts of with Sakura feeding Samuel in the highchair.
Since I have moe pics than I normally do I'm placing the rest in a spoiler.
While Sam is eating and Sakura is making pancakes for breakfast Stephen works on learning one of the songs Sakura bought yesterday.
I took @Charlottesmom's suggestion and had Stephen feed Sam a second time. My finger was a little slow in pausing to get the really cute part. what you see is the before and the aftermath.
Stephen cleans up the mess then sits down to his pancakes while Samuel plays with his blocks.
Since it's leisure day I send the family over to the festival at the Cannery.
Sakura decides to try out her soccer skill. Then Stephen talks he into entering the hot dog eating contest.
Samuel decided he didn't like the new look on the balloons so he started scratching them up.
Instead I had him sit down with on of his art toddler books and read it.
Stephen wins the contest and gets a weeks supply of hot dogs.
How those two had room for a snowcone I have NO idea.
I had noticed the poor little Sam was needing to use the potty. I use testing cheats to be able to add a training potty for him but Sakura and Sam got reset to their home when the potty was added.
The full moon came up and Sakura and Stephen went through their feral change.
The next time I checked on the house, Sakura was handing out candy to trick or treaters.
Stephen arrived home around this time and howled outside. When the couple entered the house Sam was adding his voice to their howl.
It was a long day for Sam, he fell right to sleep after being put in his crib.
Before going to sleep Sakura and Stephen work on their painting and guitar skills.
Sakura finishes her painting worth $456
They finally goto bed.

Samuel was the first to wake up. He waited patiently in his crib to be let out.
Stephen is the second to rise and let Sam out of his crib. After his bottle I have him start reading one of his toddler art books.
No Sam, I don't think this is how your supposed to read a book. (I think it's supposed to be in front of you.)
Stephen calls and makes arrangements for later in the day for Samuel's birthday party (Formal Dress). It's going to be held at the same playground his 1st birthday was held at.
While waiting for the time to leave for the party, Sakura, works on her book.
Stephen called Don and asked him if he wanted to meet at the fishing pond and try their hand at hunting. Don agreed but once Stephen reached their destination Don called and backed out. Stephen hung out there for a little while then went home to gather everyone and head to the party venue.Once they arrived I had Sam blow out his candles (So he could enjoy the party more) He gains the Bookworm trait and has enough LTR points for the Observant LTR.
Stephen and Sam eat their cake with Tom Shallow.
Right after everyone finished their cake, Sakura dances with Hunter Cotteneye while Stephen decides to go and get a snowcone.
Stephen had invited 3 kids to the party and Sam takes the time to introduce himself to them.
The kids had to leave before they had a chance to play tag so Sam goes through his first transformation.
His first howl as a child. Still kind of cute. I think his eyebrows are kind of "Spock like"
Here he is practicing his hunting then playing pinball.
While the family is out I redo Samuel's room. (He needs a big boy bed now after all.)
After a long day Sam sleeps well in his new bed.
I also made some changes to their house. I divided the office and TV room, expanded the kitchen and started the process of moving the deck to the back of the house so I can eventually add another kids room (when needed).These pics were taken on the following night so ignore the sims you see.
The reason I had forgot to take a picture of the house upgrades is because when I was getting ready to do so I saw that an alien was visiting. So I watched him for a while.
He scanned the mailbox, then the trashcan, then went back to the mailbox.
The second time he scanned the mailbox the alien was thinking about cars, which made me realize that Stephen and Sakura had enough money to finally buy one. so after the alien left, I got them a car.

I had kind of went overboard with buying extra toys for the toy box, Day 35 starts off with Sam having to put them all away.He then goes upstairs to play with his blocks for a bit.
Sakura does the laundry.
Samuel had rolled a wish to learn the painting skill so I make sure there is an empty easel for him. Because he had read all of those painting books as a toddler he starts off at skill level 2.
Sam's 1st painting worth $11
A few days ago Sakura had gotten an opportunity from to Doo Peas corporation to do 10 paintings for the. She starts work on number 3.
Stephen works on his guitar skill.
After Sam finishes his painting I have him start on another saved wish.... To learn how to write. Reading toddler books gave him an advantage here as well and he starts off with enough skill to almost reach level 2 in writing.
His book is a fiction book called "Elvis was a Day Trader" (EA chose the name)
Sakura finishes her painting (Which I think looks like a court sketch). It's worth
$180 and starts another small painting.
I decided that since Sam is now a child that I would let him have the IF he was given as a baby. So, while he was in the bathroom, I took it out of Stephen's inventory and put it in Sam's. As soon as he finished his business out came the IF.
Instead of playing with his IF I had Sam practice his werewolf skills. Howling and Hunting.
Sam then listens to his dad play the guitar.
After Sakura finishes her next painting (worth $133) She and Stephen transform and go hunting.
Hunting stats:
Sakura: Moth, Japanese beetle, water beetle
Stephen: Blue Topaz, Copper, Iron, Cockroach
Eariler that day I had bought Sam a treehouse..... Guess who the 1st ones to use it were.
I didn't get a pic of the family sleeping but here is one of the horse that decided to sleep on the home lot.

Sakura like the new patterns @CravenLestat made for me. Here she is wearing one.
Before Sakura changed into her new outfit she was downstairs and saw a horse in their backyard. She then goes upstairs, changes and starts painting a picture of the horse.
Samuel wakes up and starts playing with his IF right away.
Sam was in need of a bath so I told him to go on a submarine adventure.
When he was done. Sam met the same fate as several of @Mikezumi's kids. Fortunately it didn't last long.
Stephen spent the morning working on his guitar skills.
I thought I had gotten a picture of all 3 horses in the front yard but I was wrong. I sent Sam down after his bath to try and befriend on of the horses.
Sakura finished her painting. It was brilliant and worth $251.
When I checked back on Sam he was playing with his IF again. So I went into build mode added a very small basement and placed the IF there. I hope it stays there.
I then have him continue working on his fiction book called "Elvis was a Day Trader" (Where does EA come up with some of these names????? LOL ) He finishes the book and will get 6 royalty paments of $42 each.
Towards evening Stephen and Sakura transform and do some hunting and bug catching.
Hunting/bug catching stats
Sakura Diamond, 2 Cerambyx beetles
Stephen Copper, Ladybug, Cerambyx beetle
While he's there Stephen placed more items on consignment.

Sakura wakes up with the urge to make things official and become a self-employed painter. So, as soon as she gets out of bed she calls an registers her name. They inform her that she needs to go down to City Hall and fill out some paperwork to finalize her employment.
While Sakura is gone Stephen smelts the metals and cuts the gems they found the previous day.
Meet Sakura Ambrose..... Self-employed painter.
After Stephen took care of the gems and metals he went in the house and practiced his guitar while Samuel ate his breakfast.
It's then time for Samuel to goto his first day of school.
Sakura returns home and continues work on the painting she had started. Once this one is finished she will only need to paint 4 more for the Doo Peas Corporation to finish the opportunity she was given.
While Stephen rakes some leaves he gets the idea for him and Sakura to try their luck with the weatherstone. So after Sakura eats lunch they transform and head on over.
Today was not Stephen's lucky day beacuse before the couple headed home he trys playing his guitar for tips. Even though he had a small audience he did not get a single tip.
Once they return home Sakura continues working on her painting. I forget what Stephen was doing and I didn't take any pics of him.
Like a good little boy Samuel does his homework. Once he is finished he decides to play in his treehouse.
Sakura finishes her brilliant painting of a creepy looking bunny worth $445. I put it in her inventory with the others for Doo Peas corp before Sam sees it. (It might give him nightmares.)
Goodnight

Sakura gets started on her next painting. She only has a few more to create before she can turn all 10 in to the Doo Peas Corporation. It doesn't take her long to finish one worth $167.
Stephen spend his morning playing the guitar.
I did not get a pic of Sam eating his breakfast but, here Sakura is complaining about not putting his dishes in the dishwasher before heading off to school.
After finishing breakfast Sakura cleans up and starts the laundry while Stephen cuts the gems and smelts the metals they found.
Samuel makes it home from school and while he does his homework Sakura learns a new recipe.
All on his own Stephen decided that he wanted to rake the leaves.
After Sam finished his homework he starts writing a Sci-Fi novel called 1948
Sakura starts working on painting number 8
I realized that Stephen hadn't hunted yet and Sam hasn't practiced is Werewolf skills in a couple of days so the entire family is told to transform.
Sam howls a couple of times then practices his hunting.
While I'm distracted with Stephen and Sakura, Sam goes back to the treehouse...... aaaaand the University Mascot shows up.
After the mascot leaves (and they get their freebees from the bucket) Stephen and Sakura begin their hunt.
Before heading off to bed I have Sam collect his free stuff the mascot left behind.
After the hunt Sakura finishes her painting. This one is worth $200
The couple then head off to bed.

This is the night that I had FINALLY discovered the Unicorn.
This is what she looked like when I found HER
I enabled testing cheats and took the Unicorn into CAS to make a few changes.
1st if I was going to get little baby Unicorns I needed a male.
2nd I changed his name to Crimson Horse.
3rd Changed his look
I then added him to the household. The next time I open the game I am adding my Fairy family (Gerold and Katrina Song) and moving Crimson there. Hopefully he and Meilin get along well and give me adorable little foals.
Since I had found the Unicorn the previous night I added my fairy family (with their house) to this save. Because I was distracted I didn't get pictures of Sam before school.
The day starts off with Sakura working on painting number 9 for the Doo Peas corp.
After Sam went to school I sent Stephen and Sakura over to the Song residence to meet the new family.
When I had last played the fairy house it was winter. I see that they still have some of the decorations up.
I didn't get a pic of Gerold trying to flirt with Sakura but, was glad to see she rejected him.
Stephen decided to get some Autumn salad from the buffet that had been set up the last time I had played that house. Surprisingly it was still good.
Sakura heads out to the greenhouse to introduce herself to Gerold's daughter Crystal. They discover that they both have the artistic trait in common.
I forgot to take pics of the rest of their vist. I sent them home when Sam got out of school.
Once they get home, Stephen starts playing his guitar.
Once Sam finishes his homework, he an Sakura go upstairs and work on their paintings.
Sakura's finished painting..... Brilliant $301
Sam's painting ..... Worth $81
Stephen and Sakura get some alone/quality time together.
Oops they broke the shower.
Everyone is finally tucked in bed.
It seems as though someone was waiting for everyone to fall asleep.
Everyone else goes back to bed and Sakura starts a new painting while waiting for the officer to look around and make sure everything is alright.
After they finish talking I send Sakura to bed.

Sakura's day starts off with her not feeling her best.
Since it was a holiday there was no school. Instead of the school bus showing up this bus sat there for quite a while. Fortunately Sam showed no signs of wanting to get on the bus.
While waiting for lunch Sam decides to go on a submarine adventure.
The family then sits down for a nice family meal of Mac and Cheese.
Samuel mentions over lunch that he heard from his friends at school that there is a new arcade in town and he would like to check it out. The boys decide to have a Father and Son day out.
Stephen also takes the time to wire the whole arcade for sound.
Since Sakura hadn't been feeling well all day she decided to goto sleep early. While she was lying down she got her pregnancy notice.
After a long day at the arcade the biys head home. They part ways outside the house and Stephen head over to the consignment shop to put a few items up for sale.
Samuel's little wolfy senses must have told him he was going to be a big brother because he went in the house and started reading Totally Preggers. (Either that or he was looking at it for the same reason boys read Nat Geo magazines. )
While waiting for Stephen to get home Sakura starts working on I believe it is the 10th painting for the opportunity from the Doo Peas corporation.
When he arrives home and heads upstairs Sakura breaks the news. Sakura rolls a wish to have another boy, Stephen rolled a wish for a daughter.
Samuel decided to sleep in his tree house.
While his parents decide to get a shower before bed.
Once the little cub arrives I'll decorate the new nursery.

Another wild unicorn had spawned overnight.
Meet Belle Horse. I have not decided if I'm going to let her stay wild or add her to one of my households yet.
The day starts with Stephen writing a check to pay the bills worth $439 and Sakura recycling the old newspaper.
After Samuel heads off to school, Sakura starts work on the 10th painting for her opportunity from the Doo Peas Corporation while Stephen heads over to the arcade. Once there Stephen transforms.
I had been forgetting that Ste[hen needs to turn 5 Sims into werewolves as part of his LTW. So I had decided to see how many could be turned today. My only rule is that the sim being bitting must have a negative trait.
1st up Angel Lobos Schmoozer
2nd up Ma Bagley Hot Headed, Snob
Stephen doesn't want the new members of his pack to be mad at him so after succesfully biting Ma, Stephen apologizes to her.
Stephen also meets new neighbor Katrina Song.
While Stephen is pack hunting with Flo Broke, I check on Samuel (Who just got home from school). He had just changed into a prince costume. I tell Sam he has to do his homework BEFORE he can play.
"I'll slay that evil dragon. !!!!!"
"Gentle subjects, I have saved the kingdom once again."
Next time I check on Stephen, he and Flo have finished their hunt and are dancing.
Hunting stats
Platinum, Mercury, Japanese Beetle, Geode
Sakura finishes her painting. It's brilliant and worth $735.
She heads over to the Doo Peas Corp to turn in the paintings. They give Sakura 12,000 simoeons for her trouble.
It's getting late in the day and Samuel has school in the morning so he goes to bed.
Stephen returns home, gets a shower, and after changing into his jammies plays the guitar a bit before going to bed.

Added photo while I was looking around town after everyone went to sleep, I saw Crimson at the fishing spott I had created.
@mycami21 , Read through the past few updates, I will leave proper feedback in a bit, but wanted to say Yeah!! A new baby, hope they get the girl Stephen wanted!
@Charlottesmom Thanks I'm glad your enjoying it. I've already play through the birth and all I'll say is that the baby is adorable. Can't wait til s/he ages up to todder.
When I had originally posted the updates in the What Happened in your Game thread I also posted links to the wallpapers and items I had designed. Now that this thread is finally current (Tomorrow I'm planning on posting an update not seen by anyone) I figured I would post the exchange links here.
This day starts off the night before with Stephen getting abducted.
In the morning Mother and Son bond over paint.
The simgod decided that she would really like twins so Sakura is sent
downstairs to watch the Kids network.
Samuel finished his painting which was worth $36. I thought it might look cute
in a kids room so I adde it to the nursery.
He then heads downstairs to continue working on his novel called 1948.
While writing Sam rolls a LTW... Master of the Arts. It is granted.
Stephen has some metals and gems in his inventory so he heads over to the consignment shop to place them up for sale.
I had noticed that Carlotta Lobos was at the consignment shop so I send Samuel over to catch a few butterflies and to meet her. While he is catching some of the butterflies the full moon come out and he transforms. Stephen Transforms as well.
I check on Sakura and she was in need of the bathroom. After she is done, I have her go back to the TV which breaks when it gets turned to the kids channel. Sakura decides to go upstairs and paint until Stephen comes home to fix the TV.
While Stephen is fixing the TV I have Sam greet Carlotta. They then start playing tag.
When next I check on Stephen he has fixed the TV and is scratching up the furniture.
Sakura is told to sit back in front of the TV and I forget what I sent Steven off to do since he was being bad.
It wasn't long until Sakura goes into labor. I send Stephen back into the room, briefly, then I send him upstairs to practice his guitar.
After a long day everyone tries to get some sleep.

@mycami21 Great update! So, is Stephen having an unexpected weight gain? I like the painting for the kids room. Congrats on baby Blossom. Sorry it wasn't twins. Samuel and Carlotta playing tag is cute.
To avoid anymore confusion @bekkasan and @emorrill Sakura actually had TRIPLETS
I didn't keep Sakura as happy as I thought I had during the pregnancy so, the babies 1st trait was predetermined by the game. (Fortunately, they were good traits.) predetermined traits in BOLD
1st born was Blossom Artistic , Eccentric
2nd was Richard Genius, Perceptive
3rd born was Apple Virtuoso, Friendly
I blame @Charlottesmom for the triplets.... One of her updates gave me the idea to make Sakura watch the kids channel.
Oh yeah @bekkasan and @emorrill Thank my sanity NO unexpectid weight gain.... I don't know if I could handle 4 babies at once.
@mycami21 Poor Stephen At least werewolves can't get pregnant!
Great abduction shots!
I never feel the urge to temp multiple births! You are brave!
That painting is perfect for a nursery
I never pick my kids' LTWs until they age up to YA but that could be because they never roll wishes for ones that I approve of
Do they automatically transform on a full moon?
Love the werewolf thought bubble!
Congrats on the birth of Blossom, Richard and Apple I would freak out with triplets!

This morning starts off with Sakura getting up first and giving Samuel his morning bottle.
While she was sleeping Sakura had gotten an idea for a new book so while Sam's finishing off his bottle she gets started on a children's book called "The Little Werewolf that Could"
Sam finishes his bottle and starts his little hunt. He manages to find 2 ladybugs.
When I next check on Samuel he is scratching up the rug in his room. (Bad little cub.
Sakura heads upstairs to check on her naughty little cub and continues his walking lessons.
I send Stephen to the fishing spot where I had seen the alien the nght before so he can collect the space rocks there. He also finds some flowers to pick.
Stephen then transforms and starts hunting. Once he's finished he introduces himself to Henry McGlum.
Hunting stats
When I check back on the house I see Sam is still playing with his blocks like a good boy and Sakura has started a new painting.
Stephen heads over to the Art Studio. I have him introduce himself to Norman Joy and Tom Shallow.
I learn that Tom is evil and since June Shallow is already a werewolf I figure he is the perfect candidate for a cursed bite.
Samuel gets his evening bottle then Sakura gives him a bath and puts him to bed.
Sakura was just falling asleep when she hears a noise outside and decides to investigate.
Sakura is returned with the Abducted moodlet. She was not probed.
She returns to her bed hoping she doesn't have any nightmares.

Because of the adventure from the night before Sakura sleeps in the next morning. While Samuel is still sleeping Stephen practices his guitar. (Yes he's still in his night clothes.)
Bonus pics of the fishing spot I had made a while back and added close to the house.
When Samuel wakes up Stephen gives him his morning bottle. Once that is finished Sam heads over to the xylophone and starts playing.
Stephen heads downstairs to work on his guitar skill. Hunter Cotteneye had called a few days earlier and told Stephen that if he earned $50 in tips that Hunter would give him a reward. Stephen only has 1 more level to go before he can play for tips.
Sakura wakes up about the time that Samuel learns all he can from the xylophone. She takes he son downstairs so they can listen to his daddy play his guitar.
After listening to Stephen for a bit Sakura is starving so she gives Sam a little cuddle and grabs some leftover pancakes to eat.
Samuel has a whole new area to practice his hunting in. After much searching he found a Cerambyx beetle. He then starts playing with his blocks.
Stephen finally reaches level 5 in guitar. He heads over to the playground. (That seems to be the new hot spot. When I check there are always people there. Mostly in the adult area) Stephen opens his guitar case and starts playing.
Sakura works on her book while Sam entertains himself with the blocks.
Several hours later Stephen gets his $50 in tips. He goes to see Hunter Cotteneye who gives him some money. (I didn't catch the amount)
Stephen returns home and transforms so that he can start hunting. He sees that they have mail..... It turned out to be a love letter to Sakura from Don Lothario. Stephen then starts his hunt.
hunting stats
I had thought that Sam had seen his dad transform before and was OK with it, but, I guess I was wrong because when I checked back in poor little Sam had a dirty diaper and had passed out. (His bars were still in the green before the transformation)
Sakura manages to wake Sam up takes him upstairs for a bath then puts him to bed.
Once Stephen finishes his hunt he joins Sakura in bed.

Samuel wakes up hungry and lets the whole house know it.
While Sam is drinking his bottle Sakurk works on her small painting.
Sakura then takes Sam downstairs. She eats her breakfast while Samuel plays with his pegs.
When Stephen gets up he eats breakfast the reads to Sam.
Sakura continues working on her book.
Sam plays with his blocks after his dad finishes reading the book.
Stephen calls Don to see if he wants to group up and go hunting together. They meet at the pond by the house. First thing they do is sniff each other.
Then the hunt begins.
Hunting stats
While looking around I heard a horse and noticed that one managed to get caught in the woman's bathroom. Reset sim didn't work since it doesn't have a name so I had to remove a wall to set it free.
Sakura finished writing The little werewolf that could. It is a best seller!!
After checking on Sam Sakura goes upstairs and works on her painting.
Sam decides to become one with his potty.
When I chek back on Stephen and Don, Don is growling at Stephen. I don't think Stephen liked being growled at.
(Stephen's thinking "This will teach you to send a love letter to MY wife")
Next they play fetch.
When I go back to the house Samuel is being a bad cub again and scratching the rug.
It's getting late so Stephen ends his outing and returns home. The family then goes to sleep.

Because of the cute pics that others have posted of their toddlers in the highchair, I broke down and got one for Samuel.
I had also heard that the walker can give toddlers handiness points if they play with it. So Sam gets to spend the morning there. @Charlottesmom I used your fox pattern to get the eyes on the walker.
Sakura starts a new Sci-fi novel. It's inspired by her recent 'adventure' and is called "The Alien Chronicles".
Stephen gets a call fom the local jail. The locks on their cells are starting to malfunction and the warden wants Stephen to fix them. He agrees and gets $800 for his trouble.
When Stephen returns home he cuts the gems and smelts the ore that he had found the previous few days.
Sakura spends some quality time with her son. I tried to get some close up pics and because of the angle/location of the shots Sam disappeared. Fortunately, when I moved the camera, he did show up again right away.
Stephen and Sakura don't spend much time at the TV. Usually if they watch it's the non skilling channels. This time Stephen decided to try out the video game system they had bought to help entertain guests at parties.
Here's a cute pic of Sam playing in his toybox.
Sakura finishes the small painting she had started. It's another brilliant one and is worth $80.
I send Stephen over to the Consignment store so he can place the metals and gems he has on consignment.
While there he runs into Hunter Cotteneye. After talking for a bit they decide to play fight.
Stephen wins.
He then show Hunter how beautiful and powerful his teeth are.
Hunter "I think you chipped my tooth"
Next Stephen and Hunter go on a group hunt.........
Actually Stephen hunts while Hunter reads a book.
Hunting stats
When I check on the house Sam is watching Sakura play a video game.
Just because he is so freaking CUTE!!!!!
Sakura pays their latest round of bills for $329.
Since I forgot to get a picture of them sleeping I leave you with a werewolf playing the Guitar.

Stephen is the one to get Samuel up this morning.
He gives Sam a bottle and heads downstairs to eat some of the leftover Chili Con Carne Sakura had made. I guess it was a little too spicy.
Stalker shot of the family after breakfast.
After a little "fun" Sakura continues working on her painting ans Stephen Smelts the ore in his inventory.
Stephen then upgrades the speakers on their stereo.
Since Stephen has been getting out of the house while Sakura stayed home with the cub she decides to goto the bookstore and buy a few more toddler art books for Sam. She also picks up a couple of songs for Stephen to learn how to play.
Once she leaves the bookstore, Sakura transforms and does some hunting.
Cute pic of Sam playing in the upstairs toybox.
Sakura reads on of the books she just bought to Samuel. They are sitting in front of the art easels.
Once the book is read it's time for bed.

I forgot to take a picture of them paying the bills today but, they totaled $330.
The day starts of with Sakura feeding Samuel in the highchair.
Since I have moe pics than I normally do I'm placing the rest in a spoiler.
I took @Charlottesmom's suggestion and had Stephen feed Sam a second time. My finger was a little slow in pausing to get the really cute part. what you see is the before and the aftermath.
Stephen cleans up the mess then sits down to his pancakes while Samuel plays with his blocks.
Since it's leisure day I send the family over to the festival at the Cannery.
Sakura decides to try out her soccer skill. Then Stephen talks he into entering the hot dog eating contest.
Samuel decided he didn't like the new look on the balloons so he started scratching them up.
Instead I had him sit down with on of his art toddler books and read it.
Stephen wins the contest and gets a weeks supply of hot dogs.
How those two had room for a snowcone I have NO idea.
I had noticed the poor little Sam was needing to use the potty. I use testing cheats to be able to add a training potty for him but Sakura and Sam got reset to their home when the potty was added.
The full moon came up and Sakura and Stephen went through their feral change.
The next time I checked on the house, Sakura was handing out candy to trick or treaters.
Stephen arrived home around this time and howled outside. When the couple entered the house Sam was adding his voice to their howl.
It was a long day for Sam, he fell right to sleep after being put in his crib.
Before going to sleep Sakura and Stephen work on their painting and guitar skills.
Sakura finishes her painting worth $456
They finally goto bed.

Samuel was the first to wake up. He waited patiently in his crib to be let out.
Stephen is the second to rise and let Sam out of his crib. After his bottle I have him start reading one of his toddler art books.
No Sam, I don't think this is how your supposed to read a book. (I think it's supposed to be in front of you.)
Stephen calls and makes arrangements for later in the day for Samuel's birthday party (Formal Dress). It's going to be held at the same playground his 1st birthday was held at.
While waiting for the time to leave for the party, Sakura, works on her book.
Stephen called Don and asked him if he wanted to meet at the fishing pond and try their hand at hunting. Don agreed but once Stephen reached their destination Don called and backed out.
Stephen and Sam eat their cake with Tom Shallow.
Right after everyone finished their cake, Sakura dances with Hunter Cotteneye while Stephen decides to go and get a snowcone.
Stephen had invited 3 kids to the party and Sam takes the time to introduce himself to them.
The kids had to leave before they had a chance to play tag so Sam goes through his first transformation.
His first howl as a child. Still kind of cute. I think his eyebrows are kind of "Spock like"
Here he is practicing his hunting then playing pinball.
While the family is out I redo Samuel's room. (He needs a big boy bed now after all.)
After a long day Sam sleeps well in his new bed.
I also made some changes to their house. I divided the office and TV room, expanded the kitchen and started the process of moving the deck to the back of the house so I can eventually add another kids room (when needed).These pics were taken on the following night so ignore the sims you see.
The reason I had forgot to take a picture of the house upgrades is because when I was getting ready to do so I saw that an alien was visiting. So I watched him for a while.
He scanned the mailbox, then the trashcan, then went back to the mailbox.
The second time he scanned the mailbox the alien was thinking about cars, which made me realize that Stephen and Sakura had enough money to finally buy one. so after the alien left, I got them a car.

I had kind of went overboard with buying extra toys for the toy box, Day 35 starts off with Sam having to put them all away.He then goes upstairs to play with his blocks for a bit.
Sakura does the laundry.
Samuel had rolled a wish to learn the painting skill so I make sure there is an empty easel for him. Because he had read all of those painting books as a toddler he starts off at skill level 2.
Sam's 1st painting worth $11
A few days ago Sakura had gotten an opportunity from to Doo Peas corporation to do 10 paintings for the. She starts work on number 3.
Stephen works on his guitar skill.
After Sam finishes his painting I have him start on another saved wish.... To learn how to write. Reading toddler books gave him an advantage here as well and he starts off with enough skill to almost reach level 2 in writing.
His book is a fiction book called "Elvis was a Day Trader" (EA chose the name)
Sakura finishes her painting (Which I think looks like a court sketch). It's worth
$180 and starts another small painting.
I decided that since Sam is now a child that I would let him have the IF he was given as a baby. So, while he was in the bathroom, I took it out of Stephen's inventory and put it in Sam's. As soon as he finished his business out came the IF.
Instead of playing with his IF I had Sam practice his werewolf skills. Howling and Hunting.
Sam then listens to his dad play the guitar.
After Sakura finishes her next painting (worth $133) She and Stephen transform and go hunting.
Hunting stats:
Stephen: Blue Topaz, Copper, Iron, Cockroach
Eariler that day I had bought Sam a treehouse..... Guess who the 1st ones to use it were.
I didn't get a pic of the family sleeping but here is one of the horse that decided to sleep on the home lot.

Sakura like the new patterns @CravenLestat made for me. Here she is wearing one.
Before Sakura changed into her new outfit she was downstairs and saw a horse in their backyard. She then goes upstairs, changes and starts painting a picture of the horse.
Samuel wakes up and starts playing with his IF right away.
Sam was in need of a bath so I told him to go on a submarine adventure.
When he was done. Sam met the same fate as several of @Mikezumi's kids. Fortunately it didn't last long.
Stephen spent the morning working on his guitar skills.
I thought I had gotten a picture of all 3 horses in the front yard but I was wrong. I sent Sam down after his bath to try and befriend on of the horses.
Sakura finished her painting. It was brilliant and worth $251.
When I checked back on Sam he was playing with his IF again.
I then have him continue working on his fiction book called "Elvis was a Day Trader" (Where does EA come up with some of these names????? LOL ) He finishes the book and will get 6 royalty paments of $42 each.
Towards evening Stephen and Sakura transform and do some hunting and bug catching.

Sakura wakes up with the urge to make things official and become a self-employed painter. So, as soon as she gets out of bed she calls an registers her name. They inform her that she needs to go down to City Hall and fill out some paperwork to finalize her employment.
While Sakura is gone Stephen smelts the metals and cuts the gems they found the previous day.
Meet Sakura Ambrose..... Self-employed painter.
After Stephen took care of the gems and metals he went in the house and practiced his guitar while Samuel ate his breakfast.
It's then time for Samuel to goto his first day of school.
Sakura returns home and continues work on the painting she had started. Once this one is finished she will only need to paint 4 more for the Doo Peas Corporation to finish the opportunity she was given.
While Stephen rakes some leaves he gets the idea for him and Sakura to try their luck with the weatherstone. So after Sakura eats lunch they transform and head on over.
They failed.
Next they try their luck at hunting.
Hunting Stats
Sakura: Smoky Quartz, Copper, Mumutinium, Gold
Today was not Stephen's lucky day beacuse before the couple headed home he trys playing his guitar for tips. Even though he had a small audience he did not get a single tip.
Once they return home Sakura continues working on her painting. I forget what Stephen was doing and I didn't take any pics of him.
Like a good little boy Samuel does his homework. Once he is finished he decides to play in his treehouse.
Sakura finishes her brilliant painting of a creepy looking bunny worth $445. I put it in her inventory with the others for Doo Peas corp before Sam sees it. (It might give him nightmares.)

Sakura gets started on her next painting. She only has a few more to create before she can turn all 10 in to the Doo Peas Corporation. It doesn't take her long to finish one worth $167.
Stephen spend his morning playing the guitar.
I did not get a pic of Sam eating his breakfast but, here Sakura is complaining about not putting his dishes in the dishwasher before heading off to school.
After finishing breakfast Sakura cleans up and starts the laundry while Stephen cuts the gems and smelts the metals they found.
Samuel makes it home from school and while he does his homework Sakura learns a new recipe.
All on his own Stephen decided that he wanted to rake the leaves.
After Sam finished his homework he starts writing a Sci-Fi novel called 1948
Sakura starts working on painting number 8
I realized that Stephen hadn't hunted yet and Sam hasn't practiced is Werewolf skills in a couple of days so the entire family is told to transform.
Sam howls a couple of times then practices his hunting.
While I'm distracted with Stephen and Sakura, Sam goes back to the treehouse...... aaaaand the University Mascot shows up.
After the mascot leaves (and they get their freebees from the bucket) Stephen and Sakura begin their hunt.

This is what she looked like when I found HER
I enabled testing cheats and took the Unicorn into CAS to make a few changes.
2nd I changed his name to Crimson Horse.
3rd Changed his look
I then added him to the household. The next time I open the game I am adding my Fairy family (Gerold and Katrina Song) and moving Crimson there. Hopefully he and Meilin get along well and give me adorable little foals.

Since I had found the Unicorn the previous night I added my fairy family (with their house) to this save. Because I was distracted I didn't get pictures of Sam before school.
The day starts off with Sakura working on painting number 9 for the Doo Peas corp.
After Sam went to school I sent Stephen and Sakura over to the Song residence to meet the new family.
When I had last played the fairy house it was winter. I see that they still have some of the decorations up.
I didn't get a pic of Gerold trying to flirt with Sakura but, was glad to see she rejected him.
Stephen decided to get some Autumn salad from the buffet that had been set up the last time I had played that house. Surprisingly it was still good.
Sakura heads out to the greenhouse to introduce herself to Gerold's daughter Crystal. They discover that they both have the artistic trait in common.
I forgot to take pics of the rest of their vist. I sent them home when Sam got out of school.
Once they get home, Stephen starts playing his guitar.
Once Sam finishes his homework, he an Sakura go upstairs and work on their paintings.
Sakura's finished painting..... Brilliant $301
Sam's painting ..... Worth $81
Stephen and Sakura get some alone/quality time together.
Oops they broke the shower.
Everyone is finally tucked in bed.
It seems as though someone was waiting for everyone to fall asleep.
Everyone else goes back to bed and Sakura starts a new painting while waiting for the officer to look around and make sure everything is alright.
After they finish talking I send Sakura to bed.

Sakura's day starts off with her not feeling her best.
Since it was a holiday there was no school. Instead of the school bus showing up this bus sat there for quite a while. Fortunately Sam showed no signs of wanting to get on the bus.
While waiting for lunch Sam decides to go on a submarine adventure.
The family then sits down for a nice family meal of Mac and Cheese.
Samuel mentions over lunch that he heard from his friends at school that there is a new arcade in town and he would like to check it out. The boys decide to have a Father and Son day out.
Stephen also takes the time to wire the whole arcade for sound.
Since Sakura hadn't been feeling well all day she decided to goto sleep early. While she was lying down she got her pregnancy notice.
After a long day at the arcade the biys head home. They part ways outside the house and Stephen head over to the consignment shop to put a few items up for sale.
Samuel's little wolfy senses must have told him he was going to be a big brother because he went in the house and started reading Totally Preggers. (Either that or he was looking at it for the same reason boys read Nat Geo magazines.
While waiting for Stephen to get home Sakura starts working on I believe it is the 10th painting for the opportunity from the Doo Peas corporation.
When he arrives home and heads upstairs Sakura breaks the news. Sakura rolls a wish to have another boy, Stephen rolled a wish for a daughter.
Samuel decided to sleep in his tree house.
While his parents decide to get a shower before bed.
Once the little cub arrives I'll decorate the new nursery.

The day starts with Stephen writing a check to pay the bills worth $439 and Sakura recycling the old newspaper.
After Samuel heads off to school, Sakura starts work on the 10th painting for her opportunity from the Doo Peas Corporation while Stephen heads over to the arcade. Once there Stephen transforms.
I had been forgetting that Ste[hen needs to turn 5 Sims into werewolves as part of his LTW. So I had decided to see how many could be turned today. My only rule is that the sim being bitting must have a negative trait.
1st up Angel Lobos Schmoozer
2nd up Ma Bagley Hot Headed, Snob
Stephen doesn't want the new members of his pack to be mad at him so after succesfully biting Ma, Stephen apologizes to her.
Stephen also meets new neighbor Katrina Song.
While Stephen is pack hunting with Flo Broke, I check on Samuel (Who just got home from school). He had just changed into a prince costume. I tell Sam he has to do his homework BEFORE he can play.
"I'll slay that evil dragon. !!!!!"
"Gentle subjects, I have saved the kingdom once again."
Next time I check on Stephen, he and Flo have finished their hunt and are dancing.
Hunting stats
Sakura finishes her painting. It's brilliant and worth $735.
She heads over to the Doo Peas Corp to turn in the paintings. They give Sakura 12,000 simoeons for her trouble.
It's getting late in the day and Samuel has school in the morning so he goes to bed.
Stephen returns home, gets a shower, and after changing into his jammies plays the guitar a bit before going to bed.

This day starts off the night before with Stephen getting abducted.
In the morning Mother and Son bond over paint.
The simgod decided that she would really like twins so Sakura is sent
downstairs to watch the Kids network.
Samuel finished his painting which was worth $36. I thought it might look cute
in a kids room so I adde it to the nursery.
He then heads downstairs to continue working on his novel called 1948.
While writing Sam rolls a LTW... Master of the Arts. It is granted.
Stephen has some metals and gems in his inventory so he heads over to the consignment shop to place them up for sale.
I had noticed that Carlotta Lobos was at the consignment shop so I send Samuel over to catch a few butterflies and to meet her. While he is catching some of the butterflies the full moon come out and he transforms. Stephen Transforms as well.
I check on Sakura and she was in need of the bathroom. After she is done, I have her go back to the TV which breaks when it gets turned to the kids channel. Sakura decides to go upstairs and paint until Stephen comes home to fix the TV.
While Stephen is fixing the TV I have Sam greet Carlotta. They then start playing tag.
When next I check on Stephen he has fixed the TV and is scratching up the furniture.
Sakura is told to sit back in front of the TV and I forget what I sent Steven off to do since he was being bad.
It wasn't long until Sakura goes into labor. I send Stephen back into the room, briefly, then I send him upstairs to practice his guitar.

@bekkasan, go back and check the update again. You're right though, it wasn't twins.
Oh my...Stephen isn't pregnant too is he??
To avoid anymore confusion @bekkasan and @emorrill Sakura actually had TRIPLETS
I didn't keep Sakura as happy as I thought I had during the pregnancy so, the babies 1st trait was predetermined by the game. (Fortunately, they were good traits.) predetermined traits in BOLD
1st born was Blossom Artistic , Eccentric
2nd was Richard Genius, Perceptive
3rd born was Apple Virtuoso, Friendly
I blame @Charlottesmom
Oh yeah @bekkasan and @emorrill Thank my sanity NO unexpectid weight gain.... I don't know if I could handle 4 babies at once.

Great abduction shots!
I never feel the urge to temp multiple births! You are brave!
That painting is perfect for a nursery
I never pick my kids' LTWs until they age up to YA but that could be because they never roll wishes for ones that I approve of
Do they automatically transform on a full moon?
Love the werewolf thought bubble!
Congrats on the birth of Blossom, Richard and Apple
