Brett rolled a wish to fertilize a plant with his newly caught fish and was about to head to the garden when his time ran out
It didn't help matters that he begged
Grim showed no mercy When all is said and done, Brett had a long and wonderful life and Rory will be well taken care of.
Euan showed up an hour before I closed my game.
He went straight to the basketball hoop and was still there when I closed my game.
@Mikezumi I just popped over here to give you your awesomes and saw the first picture on the page. I'll give more comments over on the other thread but oh, man, I don't blame him for begging. I see Rory there peeking out behind Niall. I'm crying in my coffee!
Thanks @bekkasan Even though he had a very long life, it was a sad day. It would have been nice if he could at least see Rory through to his teens but it wasn't to be
Even though Kenna was still sad from the passing of her grandfather, she wanted to fish before 6am.
John arrived just after I sent Kenna back to bed.
It's Morna's birthday which means she will be leaving soon. I put the extra table away later in the day since they don't need it anymore
Kenna had a wish to spar with someone, Cain had a wish to prepare a meal and Morna a wish to find a seed.
I saw John playing the drums when I was lining up the spar shots
Rory had a wish to play catch with Lachie and Morna watered the plants when she returned from collecting a seed.
I wish the stove wasn't right up against the wall because it makes cooking pics difficult!
Niall had a wish to take a photo with a friend. I let him have it when the boys finished the gardening
Cain is still working on reaching level 8 in MA so I had the boys spar.
Niall leveled up while sparring with Kenna and had a wish to meditate locked in.
Cain must have felt bad about beating Niall
I sent the boys to the big park so they could meet new sims Cain met Gerry Frio who had a glitched hand.
Niall met James Frio.
I saw Julius and Jaimey Herrerra flirting in front of the restrooms. Jaimey's work outfit is not appropriate for a woman of her age!
Much better!
Julius also approved
It's so sad seeing the once handsome Alec Frio like this
Melonie Herrerra came over for a chat with Niall
Cain must have asked Gerry for a game of catch. No fair picking on a cripple!
The park was starting to fill While talking with Gerry, Cain rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
Gerry's hand must have been glitched from too many picnic meals
Really? Another game of catch?
I discovered that I could use debug enabler to open the picnic baskets
Since the boys were obviously done with socializing I sent them home. You wouldn't read about it! As soon as they got home they played catch!
The girls got home late because of afterschool activities. Morna reached level 4 in sculpting in art class and Kenna learned the bass skill in music class.
Kenna came home with a wish to practise MA and Morna a wish to paint.
The boys also got home late because of Scouts. They had just enough time to do homework before Morna's birthday.
Not hideous but not good!
Much better
Lovely!
Rory had a wish to play catch with Cain and Lachie a wish to play catch with Morna. That left Niall free to work on his cooking skill
Kenna found the bass that has been sitting there all her life. Perhaps learning the skill earlier in the day was the push she needed.
I checked on the others and they were playing catch side by side
Lachie came home from school with a wish to catch a bug I saw there were active spawners at the nearby beach.
The boys watched the stars when Niall was done cooking
When they were done watching the stars, the boys went their separate ways.
Greg arrived at around 2am.
Sam arrived just as I was getting ready to save and quit.
Sam and Greg arrived before I closed out my last play session. Brett arrived a while after I loaded my save. I didn't take a pic of his arrival but when I saw he was preparing to scare his little brother, I slowed my game down to normal speed. Greg had been haunting the treehouse but Brett waited patiently for him to finish
Sam played the drums
Brett interrupted Sam for a dance Not sure what Greg was doing but he vanished shortly after. Perhaps he was waiting for an opportunity to get his brother back
It's Lachie's birthday The family had waffles for breakfast but only Cain rolled a wish to prepare more.
I like to think that Brett was checking on his son, Rory, but putting his butt in his waffles is an odd way to say hi
Morna had a wish to level up in gardening locked in from the previous day. She got her wish after watering and fertilizing a few plants.
Rory's waking wish was to play tag. I sent him out to say hi to his dad and ask him for a game of tag
Lachie didn't have a waking wish but had a wish to prepare bladder flow potion locked in from the day before when he leveled up in logic.
I checked on Rory and he and Brett were doing fine
Kenna's waking wish was to be good friends with her Aunt Kristina, Cain's half-sister. She was pretty close and the call got her the wish
I was surprised at how long Brett had stayed although he did arrive quite late
Morna's waking wish was to fish. She got it when she finished gardening Her boyfriend would be aging up later that day so she gets to stay home a bit longer.
Cain got his waffle wish and I got my fridge restocked
I found Niall dancing but stopped him because the gardening needed to be finished.
Cain helped him when he finished cooking.
Niall's waking wish was to woohoo with Cain. I locked it in knowing he would take care of it himself. The boys flirted when they finished the gardening and I knew it wouldn't be long before Niall got his wish
They chose the elevator which is always a mystery to me since it doesn't fill the fun bar.
Morna also had a wish to reach level 8 in painting locked in. She finished this painting after she got a few fishing wishes.
Because she is a bookworm, I decided to treat her to a visit to the Library. She met Rain Frio, Aileas' granddaughter, while she was there.
Cain is still working on his wish to reach level 8 in MA so I had the boys spar. It triggered a wish to level up for Niall. Niall won but Cain reached level 7
I checked on Morna and found her running out of the Library to witness Rain's death Rain's husband, Michael, was the first to get there.
Poor Rain wasn't ready to go.
If I'd remembered that Rain was due to die, I would never have allowed Morna to introduce herself.
I had Morna introduce herself to Michael so she could console him. Um, you just lost your wife, Michael!
I also had her cheer him up to further reduce the impact of negative moodlets then sent her home. It was a good thing I did because I got a popup a few minutes later to say that Michael had passed away. He must have loved Rain very much
Kenna had no afterschool activities so got home early.
She came home with a wish to practise MA. I could see Cain and Niall playing catch at the back of the lot
I knew Niall wouldn't practise MA on his own so I had the boys spar again. Cain got the light streaks with his last level up!
As fierce as he looks, Niall lost this time.
Kenna reached level 5 and rolled a wish to meditate
The boys freshened up in the outdoor shower after the sparring match
The boys got home late because of Scouts but I made them do their homework before Lachie's birthday so Lachie could grow up well. Lachie came home with a wish to hang out with Cain and Rory with a wish to get attention from his dad
The family gathered around the cake
Even with that hair I can already see he is beautiful!
Beautiful! He has Niall's features with Cain's face shape.
Lachie asked Rory for a game of catch
Not sure if the boys were watching the stars or their daughter breaking boards
Lachie might be evil but I found him hugging his uncle!
Probably buttering him up before tutoring him!
Euan arrived shortly before I closed my game If Fife or Brett come after I open my game I will be waking Rory so he can get his wish!
Oliver joined the household during the night
Euan didn't use the rocking chair
Jordan arrived just before the sun came up
Lachie woke up with mood swings on his first morning as a teen ... CANCELLED!
You'll feel better in a moment, Lachie
Oliver came to the house with a couple of cooking skill points and was the only one to roll a wish to prepare them when they finished breakfast
Rory's waking wish was to catch a bug but there were no active spawners on the map. He was very close to mastering the block table so I had him do that as it was his birthday and he wouldn't get another chance. I would have settled for 2 skill points but 3 is better
Lachie's waking wish was to finish a book but I didn't have any comic books he hadn't already read so I sent him for a jog since he had a wish locked in from the previous evening.
Oliver got his wish to prepare pancakes
Kenna also had a wish to finish a book so I gave her the recipe for ratatouille. Morna, being a bookworm, read while she waited for Oliver to be free.
Niall's waking wish was to play a game with Cain
Jordan mostly wandered or haunted during his visit.
When Lachie got back from his jog, I had him water the garden to unlock the gardening skill acquired from Scouts.
Since Niall still had his wish to level up and Cain was still working towards reaching level 8 in MA, I had the boys spar after their game of catch.
Niall won and leveled up
As soon as Oliver finished cooking he went to Morna for a kiss
I watched them flirt until they found each other irresistible then took control to have Oliver propose
These two get on really well
I could hear Cain call out to Niall and found them about to woohoo
I shouldn't have taken my eyes of these two because when I got back to them they were about to try for baby. I paused for a moment then decided to let them do it.
I saw something at the fishing pond and thought that perhaps the rod was left there when Fife was called back to the netherworld but realized that couldn't be so because I would have seen it sooner. I went into map view and found Jay (can't remember his last name) who has been visiting the family pond since he was a child. I changed his outfit and he became visible.
I laughed when I saw that Oliver and Morna had chosen the tent. Jay was in for a show! LOL
Nah, he was more interested in the rainbow trout he had caught
Jordan stood in front of Jay for a long time. I went into map view and found he was trying to ask Jay to group up with him.
Jay kept right on fishing and eventually Jordan vanished.
I heard baby chimes while Oliver and Morna were in the tent so I had them do the right thing
Over-emotional Cain wiped away a tear or two
Niall smiled bravely as his first born committed herself to another man
Jay wandered over as well
I saw the pool in Niall's queue and when I checked on him a little later found him skinny dipping.
After a while he changed into his swimwear so he could dive
I found Oliver and Morna in the basement. I don't need to worry about them trying for baby again since you can't get more pregnant than pregnant
Rory came home early and did his homework.
I found some active bug spawners and sent him to get his waking wish. He missed the first butterfly.
But he got his wish on his second try
After he caught the butterfly he got another wish he had rolled on finishing school for the day which was to meet someone new. He met Melissa Herrerra, Elspet's granddaughter.
The teens came home late because of after school activities. Kenna had Music and Lachie had Shop.
I looked outside and saw the grown ups playing catch.
The family gathered around for Rory's birthday
Pigtails!
I didn't check his muscle definition but it must be pretty high with those veins popping out on his arms! He looked so sad and I think it was because his father couldn't be there I still have his wish to get attention from dad locked in and as soon as one of them visits he will be woken!
I got him to unhide the cooking skills acquired from the toy oven when he had eaten his cake.
Lachie asked Niall to teach him how to drive They stopped once but it went well apart from that.
When Rory unhid his cooking skills, he rolled a wish to learn a fish recipe so I gave him the recipe for fish and chips. He got upset when he couldn't get to the chair he had chosen because Kenna and Cain were sparring. Silly boy! They were sparring before I gave you the book! Kenna had a wish to level up and Cain still hasn't got his wish to reach level 8.
I'd seen Morna and Oliver going into one of the bedrooms but it wasn't long before Morna came out to throw up.
Poor Cain got to watch another level up without getting his
When Lachie got back from his driving lessons, I sent him to unhide his cooking skills as well.
I found Kenna on the drums
Niall must have interrupted Cain at the MA equipment to ask him to watch the stars
I gave Lachie the recipe for ratatouille and he got his waking wish to finish a book
Niall had been watching the martial artist when Lachie rudely interrupted him
He was proud of himself
Sam was the first to arrive
John arrived shortly after
Sam and John had arrived before I closed my game. When I loaded my save, Sam was rocking and John was jamming
Sam looked in on his grandson, Niall
Kenna had a wish to fish before 6am. I let her catch one fish before sending her back to bed.
Sam and John chatted
Morna had a craving for cheesesteak. Fortunately I had a family serving left in the fridge
Lachie's waking wish was to buy a new recipe so I gave him the multitab.
Kenna woke with a general gardening wish. She also had a wish to fertilize which she rolled after catching a fish. She got both wishes in one action
Niall's waking wish was to grow a perfect plant so I had him plant a flame fruit. I had Lachie and Rory water the plants. Lachie rolled a wish to level up which he got and Rory unhid the gardening skills he acquired from Scouts.
Cain's waking wish was to prepare a meal. He reached level 5 while making waffles
Some time during the night Niall rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
I don't know where Rory got homework from since he hadn't started high school yet but he pulled it out and got it done before the bus came.
Oliver wanted to learn the painting skill.
Morna worked on her wish to reach level 8 in painting.
Kenna played the drums until the school bus came
Niall and Cain finished off the gardening
Morna got her notice while painting
Niall shot hoops while Cain broke boards. I was surprised they went their own ways without woohooing!
Niall rolled a wish to play a game with Morna over breakfast. Thankfully sims and their unborn babies are tough!
Cain finally got his wish!
He was so happy he cried!
I sent the boys to the park so Morna and Oliver could have some alone time.
There were no other sims at the park so I had the boys ride on the carousel
I checked on Morna and Oliver and they were having fun
Even though the ride went on for ages, I let it play out.
I let Morna and Oliver finish their woohoo before moving them into their new home.
Melonie and Julius Herrerra had arrived while the boys rode the carousel. I was sad because I knew that Julius was due to die
Tam's son, Luke, was supposed to come home with Lachie but he had art class so I got the kids off the bus and teleported them home or they would have still been on the bus when Luke finished his class.
Lachie came home with a wish to learn the guitar skill. I gave him a guitar from Niall's inventory.
Kenna came home with a wish to play the guitar. As soon as Lachie rolled a wish to jam with another sim, I had her join him. She had been trying to get to the piano but I cancelled it.
Cain and Niall were playing catch when I checked on them.
Lachie started with 3 skill points because of the xylophone but he still looked unsure of himself
Rory came home late because he had art class. He came home with lots of sculpting wishes which I cancelled.
Cain and Niall danced when they got home
Luke finally showed up!
Lachie had a wish to chat with Cain. I let him have his wish and when I checked on them they were hugging
Luke had been trying to do his homework but Niall wanted to tell him a funny story.
The family gathered around for Kenna's birthday
She got the dreaded pigtails!
All better! Not sure how I feel about her outfit but figure she won't be around long anyway.
Beautiful!
Luke chatted with Cain as the family went to the table for cake.
Niall rolled a wish to teach his baby brother to drive when he aged up and Rory rolled a wish to learn how to drive later that night
I invited Alvin Frio over for Lachie
Lachie rolled a wish to learn his star sign when they came inside. Before he could ask, Alvin started an animated conversation.
Lachie finally got his wish but their signs were neither compatible nor incompatible. I place no stock in star compatibility but always indulge my sims in their wishes to learn signs. I also had Lachie consider Alvin's attractiveness and he rated him 10 out of 10
After the boys flirted autonomously a few times, I stepped in and had Lachie try for a first kiss My sims don't instantly become romantic interests on kissing so I let them flirt a little more until Lachie could ask Alvin to go steady.
I was surprised when Niall was dropped off outside the house when Rory got his licence!
Lachie and Alvin watched the stars
Niall interrupted Cain's board breaking to watch the stars
Fife arrived so I quickly woke Rory. He had mood swings, but not for long. There was no way I would allow him to meet his father for the first time in that state!
Fife had been heading for the rocker when Rory reached him.
When Rory introduced himself his wish was granted!
They shared a couple of traits
I let them chat for a long while before sending Rory back to bed
Fife checked on his sleeping son a little later
Lonnie joined the household during the night
Because I was getting Lonnie set up, I didn't see Brett arrive. I knew that Fife was somewhere in the house and hoped they would meet up but I don't think they did
I found Fife at the fishing pond.
Brett's first stop was the rocking chair.
Lachie was obviously thinking evil thoughts while waiting for his uncle to serve breakfast
No-one got sick so I can safely assume he didn't poison the pancakes
Brett checked on Rory
Both Lachie and Rory rolled wishes to make autumn salad when the lettuce was ready to harvest.
Niall's waking wish was to water the plants. I let him water one to get his wish. Rory rolled a wish to level up when he watered his first plant. He got his wish when he was done
Cain's waking wish was to use the MA training dummy.
Lonnie finished his pancakes first but waited for Kenna. As soon as she got up he grabbed her for woohoo!
Lachie's waking wish was to grow a great grape plant.
Niall rolled a wish to amorously hug Cain some time during the night
When Lachie finished planting his grape seed, he destroyed Rory's sandcastle!
"Did you really have to destroy my childhood memento?" Nah! I think he was complaining about dirty dishes
Because Fife arrived early he had already returned to the netherworld but Brett seemed happy to be dancing again
Lonnie rolled a wish to learn the gardening skill. I checked his skills and he had Scouting skills so knew that planting a single seed would give him his wish When his skill was unhidden, he rolled a wish to fertilize a plant. I gave him a fish and he got that wish as well. I know this wish chain well and knew that the next wish he would roll would be to learn the fishing skill, which he did I was surprised that he didn't have any fishing skills since he had Scouts skills and my kids often get their first fishing skill point while at Scouts.
Cain barely rolled any Kenna wishes when she was a kid or a teen but as soon as he laid eyes on her at breakfast he rolled a wish to spar with her and a wish to play a game with her!
Rory and Lachie went on a field trip to the Police Station. Beitris was chaperone
Tam's son, Luke, and Marisa Frio also attended.
After Lonnie got his fishing skill I got him started on writing a novel. His LTW is Illustrious Author. He's not artistic so I don't see him ever achieving his LTW but he won't be getting LTH points when inactive in any case so no biggie.
After Cain won the sparring match, he got his other wish I kept Niall busy in the kitchen while Cain was sparring and playing catch. I didn't take any pics but he reached level 9 after preparing some crepes and some burgers.
While Niall and Cain were woohooing in the outdoor shower on the other side of the wall, Lonnie proposed I did take a pic of the boys woohooing but forgot to censor it before uploading it so can't share it
Unlike Morna and Oliver, they didn't immediately try for baby. They went to the bedroom for a pillow fight instead
It ended badly but Lonnie immediately gave Kenna a shy kiss so all must have been forgiven
I have no idea when the boys got into the hot tub but noticed that Niall had rolled a wish to cuddle Cain. Of course he got his wish and the rest of the chain which finished with them woohooing for 1,500 LTH points
Lachie and Rory got home early because of the field trip. Rory came home on the bus but Lachie somehow got left behind I teleported him when I realized.
Rory came home with a wish to set a booby trap and Lachie came home with a wish to finish a book. I gave him the recipe for cookies.
There is a Prom coming up and Rory needed a date so I invited Marisa Frio over. I was slow deciding who he should be with because I had a girl and a boy picked out. I went with the girl because I knew it would take away the temptation to keep him.
I couldn't see Lachie in Rory's queue so had to scroll through the whole family to discover that he was about to scare Kenna.
Fail! LOL
Rory and Marisa are compatible of course
First kiss
I can tell that Lachie instigated the game of catch because I give my males footballs.
Marisa stayed for dinner
Rory had woohoo in his queue but he had to wait for Niall to finish talking with Marisa.
They chose the tent!
I always forget about the interaction to ask a parent for child's hand in marriage but not today!
Niall gave his blessing but I would really love to see a fail one day
Kenna got an invitation to Kerrie Mullis' party. Kerrie is Duff's daughter. Only Lonnie rolled a wish to go but I sent all but Rory. Lonnie rolled a wish to become friends with Kerrie and I discovered they were cousins when he introduced himself. Kenna was in the kitchen preparing a cheese plate.
Did I mention that Lachie is my first irresistible sim in a couple of generations? I couldn't help myself. What makes more sense than an irresistible evil genius?
There wasn't a stereo in the house so everyone made do with talking or watching TV.
When I checked on Rory he was painting in his sleepwear. I couldn't see Marisa until I went into map view and found her reading a book in the tent. It must have been a forgettable romp
Duff made a beeline for the cheese plate when he got home.
I saw Cain asking Niall to watch the stars and had forgotten about the deck until they went outside
I was hoping the family could talk to Duff when he finished eating, but he went straight to bed.
The rest of the family were on their way home but I left Lonnie and Kenna there. I got a popup thanking Lonnie for coming so went looking for him. I found them quite a distance from the house with "watch the stars" in their queues. I cancelled it and sent them home.
Marisa finally emerged from the tent. I went into map view to see what she was doing and saw that she was about to propose! Nope! Too soon!
I had Rory deflect the proposal with a kiss and a request to leave
Lonnie rolled a wish to fish before 6am.
Why are you not impressed, Lonnie? You can feed a family of 10 with that minnow!
The family ate waffles in the hope that one of the kids would roll a wish to prepare some. It didn't happen Feed them something way out of their league and everyone wants to make it but there's no way I will lock in a 300 point wish until they gain several skill points!
Lachie's waking wish was to hang out with Niall. He got his wish over breakfast so I sent him out to water the plants. He rolled a wish to level up
Cain's waking wish was to practise MA, Kenna's was to paint but I had her work on a locked in wish to break 25 more boards instead and Rory's waking wish was to paint
Lonnie's waking wish was to learn painting but he also had three writing wishes locked in so I had him work on his book instead.
Niall's waking wish was to woohoo with Cain but I had him prepare a meal because Cain was busy. I knew he would get his wish sometime during the morning
The watering didn't quite get Lachie his wish to level up so I had him tend garden until he got it. I knew it would only take a couple of plants so I sent Niall out to help him. I love the warm glow of the flame fruit
While I was lining up the gardening shot, I saw that sims were using the carousel so I rushed over to investigate. It was good to see Duff, Brian and Kerrie were among the revellers
Jay was also there
When Rory finished this painting, he rolled a wish to paint something worth §150. The wish is not worth much but I locked it in since he is artistic and it shouldn't take long to fulfill.
When Lachie got his gardening wish, I had him prepare some waffles. Heirs need to be well rounded and cooking is an important skill.
He immediately went to the sand pit to destroy a partial sandcastle when he was done cooking. It must be his way of releasing steam
Niall got his waking wish
Since it was Prom Day I decided to invite Marisa and Alvin over for the day They arrived at the same time and got stuck in the doorway in their rush to get inside
Lachie had been chatting with Alvin on the phone earlier in the morning and had a wish to kiss him locked in. He took care of that with a shy kiss - so cute! I love a sim who takes care of their own needs
When I saw that Niall and Cain were done with their woohoo, I brought the wedding arch out of storage so that Kenna and Lonnie could get married.
The couple waited patiently for the family and guests to gather around
Cain and Niall both cried
Only Lachie and Rory were unmoved.
Perhaps Rory was not as unmoved as I had thought. Of course, like his father Niall, he often has a sad look.
Cain had a wish to visit the park locked in from the previous day. I sent him over with Niall.
Niall chatted with his cousin, Duff. Duff would become an elder later in the day
I turned the camera towards Duff so that I could check on the teens left at home. I could see them happily flirting in the background
Jay joined their conversation
I checked on the newlyweds and they were doing fine
As were the teens who hadn't gone far after the wedding.
They ventured a little further not long after
Cain and Niall were chatting when I checked on them.
The teens continued flirting after woohooing
The newlyweds had some fun in the elevator
I fed the teens before Prom because I hate how hungry they are when they get home.
Alvin got waylaid by Lonnie so had to be called to meal a second time. It was getting close to Prom time so I changed their clothes with MC.
Both dates got in the limo!
As I was seeing the kids off, I saw that Duff and Brian were still at the park.
I let the grown ups do what they wanted until dinner.
I was thrilled to see Duff and Brian making use of the cotton candy and popcorn stands
The grown ups had Niall's favourite, burgers, for dinner Cain, Kenna and Lonnie all rolled wish to learn the recipe or prepare them. Dream on!
Kenna got a text that Donna Frio's party was about to begin She must be popular because this is the second party invitation she has received since aging up!
Donna was feeding her son, Timothy, when the family arrived.
I had Niall prepare a cheese plate. While I was checking Donna's family tree my game froze Fortunately I had saved just before the teens left for Prom.
Surprisingly the party still went ahead. Sometimes parties will be cancelled if I close my game between receiving the invitation and my sims attending.
Both couples watched the stars
Donna's husband, Darnell, arrived home while the boys were watching the stars. Darnell is Beitris' son
My boys weren't very hungry when they got home but I knew they wouldn't make it until breakfast, so I had them eat the muffins Rory had prepared as a child
John and Greg were the first to arrive
John wandered off to haunt when Greg got to the rocker first
Brett arrived just before I closed my game.
Comments
It didn't help matters that he begged
Grim showed no mercy
Euan showed up an hour before I closed my game.
He went straight to the basketball hoop and was still there when I closed my game.

John arrived just after I sent Kenna back to bed.
It's Morna's birthday which means she will be leaving soon. I put the extra table away later in the day since they don't need it anymore
Kenna had a wish to spar with someone, Cain had a wish to prepare a meal and Morna a wish to find a seed.
I saw John playing the drums when I was lining up the spar shots
Rory had a wish to play catch with Lachie and Morna watered the plants when she returned from collecting a seed.
I wish the stove wasn't right up against the wall because it makes cooking pics difficult!
Niall had a wish to take a photo with a friend. I let him have it when the boys finished the gardening
Cain is still working on reaching level 8 in MA so I had the boys spar.
Niall leveled up while sparring with Kenna and had a wish to meditate locked in.
Cain must have felt bad about beating Niall

Niall met James Frio.
I saw Julius and Jaimey Herrerra flirting in front of the restrooms. Jaimey's work outfit is not appropriate for a woman of her age!
Much better!
Julius also approved
It's so sad seeing the once handsome Alec Frio like this
Melonie Herrerra came over for a chat with Niall
Cain must have asked Gerry for a game of catch. No fair picking on a cripple!
The park was starting to fill
Gerry's hand must have been glitched from too many picnic meals
Really? Another game of catch?
I discovered that I could use debug enabler to open the picnic baskets
Since the boys were obviously done with socializing I sent them home. You wouldn't read about it! As soon as they got home they played catch!

Kenna came home with a wish to practise MA and Morna a wish to paint.
The boys also got home late because of Scouts. They had just enough time to do homework before Morna's birthday.
Not hideous but not good!
Much better
Lovely!
Rory had a wish to play catch with Cain and Lachie a wish to play catch with Morna. That left Niall free to work on his cooking skill
Kenna found the bass that has been sitting there all her life. Perhaps learning the skill earlier in the day was the push she needed.
I checked on the others and they were playing catch side by side
Lachie came home from school with a wish to catch a bug
The boys watched the stars when Niall was done cooking
When they were done watching the stars, the boys went their separate ways.
Greg arrived at around 2am.
Sam arrived just as I was getting ready to save and quit.

The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Sam played the drums
Brett interrupted Sam for a dance
It's Lachie's birthday
I like to think that Brett was checking on his son, Rory, but putting his butt in his waffles is an odd way to say hi
Morna had a wish to level up in gardening locked in from the previous day. She got her wish after watering and fertilizing a few plants.
Rory's waking wish was to play tag. I sent him out to say hi to his dad and ask him for a game of tag
Lachie didn't have a waking wish but had a wish to prepare bladder flow potion locked in from the day before when he leveled up in logic.
I checked on Rory and he and Brett were doing fine
Kenna's waking wish was to be good friends with her Aunt Kristina, Cain's half-sister. She was pretty close and the call got her the wish
I was surprised at how long Brett had stayed although he did arrive quite late
Morna's waking wish was to fish. She got it when she finished gardening
Cain got his waffle wish and I got my fridge restocked
I found Niall dancing but stopped him because the gardening needed to be finished.
Cain helped him when he finished cooking.

They chose the elevator which is always a mystery to me since it doesn't fill the fun bar.
Morna also had a wish to reach level 8 in painting locked in. She finished this painting after she got a few fishing wishes.
Because she is a bookworm, I decided to treat her to a visit to the Library. She met Rain Frio, Aileas' granddaughter, while she was there.
Cain is still working on his wish to reach level 8 in MA so I had the boys spar. It triggered a wish to level up for Niall. Niall won but Cain reached level 7
I checked on Morna and found her running out of the Library to witness Rain's death
Poor Rain wasn't ready to go.
If I'd remembered that Rain was due to die, I would never have allowed Morna to introduce herself.
I had Morna introduce herself to Michael so she could console him. Um, you just lost your wife, Michael!
I also had her cheer him up to further reduce the impact of negative moodlets then sent her home. It was a good thing I did because I got a popup a few minutes later to say that Michael had passed away. He must have loved Rain very much
Kenna had no afterschool activities so got home early.
She came home with a wish to practise MA. I could see Cain and Niall playing catch at the back of the lot

As fierce as he looks, Niall lost this time.
Kenna reached level 5 and rolled a wish to meditate
The boys freshened up in the outdoor shower after the sparring match
The boys got home late because of Scouts but I made them do their homework before Lachie's birthday so Lachie could grow up well. Lachie came home with a wish to hang out with Cain and Rory with a wish to get attention from his dad
The family gathered around the cake
Even with that hair I can already see he is beautiful!
Beautiful!
Lachie asked Rory for a game of catch
Not sure if the boys were watching the stars or their daughter breaking boards
Lachie might be evil but I found him hugging his uncle!
Probably buttering him up before tutoring him!
Euan arrived shortly before I closed my game
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Euan didn't use the rocking chair
Jordan arrived just before the sun came up
Lachie woke up with mood swings on his first morning as a teen ... CANCELLED!
You'll feel better in a moment, Lachie
Oliver came to the house with a couple of cooking skill points and was the only one to roll a wish to prepare them when they finished breakfast
Rory's waking wish was to catch a bug but there were no active spawners on the map. He was very close to mastering the block table so I had him do that as it was his birthday and he wouldn't get another chance. I would have settled for 2 skill points but 3 is better
Lachie's waking wish was to finish a book but I didn't have any comic books he hadn't already read so I sent him for a jog since he had a wish locked in from the previous evening.
Oliver got his wish to prepare pancakes
Kenna also had a wish to finish a book so I gave her the recipe for ratatouille. Morna, being a bookworm, read while she waited for Oliver to be free.
Niall's waking wish was to play a game with Cain
Jordan mostly wandered or haunted during his visit.
When Lachie got back from his jog, I had him water the garden to unlock the gardening skill acquired from Scouts.
Since Niall still had his wish to level up and Cain was still working towards reaching level 8 in MA, I had the boys spar after their game of catch.
Niall won and leveled up
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I watched them flirt until they found each other irresistible then took control to have Oliver propose
These two get on really well
I could hear Cain call out to Niall and found them about to woohoo
I shouldn't have taken my eyes of these two because when I got back to them they were about to try for baby. I paused for a moment then decided to let them do it.
I saw something at the fishing pond and thought that perhaps the rod was left there when Fife was called back to the netherworld but realized that couldn't be so because I would have seen it sooner. I went into map view and found Jay (can't remember his last name) who has been visiting the family pond since he was a child. I changed his outfit and he became visible.
I laughed when I saw that Oliver and Morna had chosen the tent. Jay was in for a show! LOL
Nah, he was more interested in the rainbow trout he had caught
Jordan stood in front of Jay for a long time. I went into map view and found he was trying to ask Jay to group up with him.
Jay kept right on fishing and eventually Jordan vanished.

Over-emotional Cain wiped away a tear or two
Niall smiled bravely as his first born committed herself to another man
Jay wandered over as well
I saw the pool in Niall's queue and when I checked on him a little later found him skinny dipping.
After a while he changed into his swimwear so he could dive
I found Oliver and Morna in the basement. I don't need to worry about them trying for baby again since you can't get more pregnant than pregnant
Rory came home early and did his homework.
I found some active bug spawners and sent him to get his waking wish. He missed the first butterfly.
But he got his wish on his second try
After he caught the butterfly he got another wish he had rolled on finishing school for the day which was to meet someone new. He met Melissa Herrerra, Elspet's granddaughter.
The teens came home late because of after school activities. Kenna had Music and Lachie had Shop.
I looked outside and saw the grown ups playing catch.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Pigtails!
I didn't check his muscle definition but it must be pretty high with those veins popping out on his arms! He looked so sad and I think it was because his father couldn't be there
I got him to unhide the cooking skills acquired from the toy oven when he had eaten his cake.
Lachie asked Niall to teach him how to drive
When Rory unhid his cooking skills, he rolled a wish to learn a fish recipe so I gave him the recipe for fish and chips. He got upset when he couldn't get to the chair he had chosen because Kenna and Cain were sparring. Silly boy! They were sparring before I gave you the book! Kenna had a wish to level up and Cain still hasn't got his wish to reach level 8.
I'd seen Morna and Oliver going into one of the bedrooms but it wasn't long before Morna came out to throw up.
Poor Cain got to watch another level up without getting his
When Lachie got back from his driving lessons, I sent him to unhide his cooking skills as well.
I found Kenna on the drums
Niall must have interrupted Cain at the MA equipment to ask him to watch the stars
I gave Lachie the recipe for ratatouille and he got his waking wish to finish a book
Niall had been watching the martial artist when Lachie rudely interrupted him
He was proud of himself
Sam was the first to arrive
John arrived shortly after
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Sam looked in on his grandson, Niall
Kenna had a wish to fish before 6am. I let her catch one fish before sending her back to bed.
Sam and John chatted
Morna had a craving for cheesesteak. Fortunately I had a family serving left in the fridge
Lachie's waking wish was to buy a new recipe so I gave him the multitab.
Kenna woke with a general gardening wish. She also had a wish to fertilize which she rolled after catching a fish. She got both wishes in one action
Niall's waking wish was to grow a perfect plant so I had him plant a flame fruit. I had Lachie and Rory water the plants. Lachie rolled a wish to level up which he got and Rory unhid the gardening skills he acquired from Scouts.
Cain's waking wish was to prepare a meal. He reached level 5 while making waffles
Some time during the night Niall rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
I don't know where Rory got homework from since he hadn't started high school yet but he pulled it out and got it done before the bus came.
Oliver wanted to learn the painting skill.
Morna worked on her wish to reach level 8 in painting.
Kenna played the drums until the school bus came
Niall and Cain finished off the gardening
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Niall shot hoops while Cain broke boards. I was surprised they went their own ways without woohooing!
Niall rolled a wish to play a game with Morna over breakfast. Thankfully sims and their unborn babies are tough!
Cain finally got his wish!
He was so happy he cried!
I sent the boys to the park so Morna and Oliver could have some alone time.
There were no other sims at the park so I had the boys ride on the carousel
I checked on Morna and Oliver and they were having fun
Even though the ride went on for ages, I let it play out.
I let Morna and Oliver finish their woohoo before moving them into their new home.
Melonie and Julius Herrerra had arrived while the boys rode the carousel. I was sad because I knew that Julius was due to die
Tam's son, Luke, was supposed to come home with Lachie but he had art class so I got the kids off the bus and teleported them home or they would have still been on the bus when Luke finished his class.
Lachie came home with a wish to learn the guitar skill. I gave him a guitar from Niall's inventory.
Kenna came home with a wish to play the guitar. As soon as Lachie rolled a wish to jam with another sim, I had her join him. She had been trying to get to the piano but I cancelled it.
Cain and Niall were playing catch when I checked on them.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Rory came home late because he had art class. He came home with lots of sculpting wishes which I cancelled.
Cain and Niall danced when they got home
Luke finally showed up!
Lachie had a wish to chat with Cain. I let him have his wish and when I checked on them they were hugging
Luke had been trying to do his homework but Niall wanted to tell him a funny story.
The family gathered around for Kenna's birthday
She got the dreaded pigtails!
All better! Not sure how I feel about her outfit but figure she won't be around long anyway.
Beautiful!
Luke chatted with Cain as the family went to the table for cake.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

I invited Alvin Frio over for Lachie
Lachie rolled a wish to learn his star sign when they came inside. Before he could ask, Alvin started an animated conversation.
Lachie finally got his wish but their signs were neither compatible nor incompatible. I place no stock in star compatibility but always indulge my sims in their wishes to learn signs. I also had Lachie consider Alvin's attractiveness and he rated him 10 out of 10
After the boys flirted autonomously a few times, I stepped in and had Lachie try for a first kiss
I was surprised when Niall was dropped off outside the house when Rory got his licence!
Lachie and Alvin watched the stars
Niall interrupted Cain's board breaking to watch the stars
Fife arrived so I quickly woke Rory. He had mood swings, but not for long. There was no way I would allow him to meet his father for the first time in that state!
Fife had been heading for the rocker when Rory reached him.
When Rory introduced himself his wish was granted!
They shared a couple of traits
I let them chat for a long while before sending Rory back to bed
Fife checked on his sleeping son a little later
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Because I was getting Lonnie set up, I didn't see Brett arrive. I knew that Fife was somewhere in the house and hoped they would meet up but I don't think they did
I found Fife at the fishing pond.
Brett's first stop was the rocking chair.
Lachie was obviously thinking evil thoughts while waiting for his uncle to serve breakfast
No-one got sick so I can safely assume he didn't poison the pancakes
Brett checked on Rory
Both Lachie and Rory rolled wishes to make autumn salad when the lettuce was ready to harvest.
Niall's waking wish was to water the plants. I let him water one to get his wish. Rory rolled a wish to level up when he watered his first plant. He got his wish when he was done
Cain's waking wish was to use the MA training dummy.
Lonnie finished his pancakes first but waited for Kenna. As soon as she got up he grabbed her for woohoo!
Lachie's waking wish was to grow a great grape plant.
Niall rolled a wish to amorously hug Cain some time during the night
When Lachie finished planting his grape seed, he destroyed Rory's sandcastle!
"Did you really have to destroy my childhood memento?" Nah! I think he was complaining about dirty dishes
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Lonnie rolled a wish to learn the gardening skill. I checked his skills and he had Scouting skills so knew that planting a single seed would give him his wish
Cain barely rolled any Kenna wishes when she was a kid or a teen but as soon as he laid eyes on her at breakfast he rolled a wish to spar with her and a wish to play a game with her!
Rory and Lachie went on a field trip to the Police Station. Beitris was chaperone
Tam's son, Luke, and Marisa Frio also attended.
After Lonnie got his fishing skill I got him started on writing a novel. His LTW is Illustrious Author. He's not artistic so I don't see him ever achieving his LTW but he won't be getting LTH points when inactive in any case so no biggie.
After Cain won the sparring match, he got his other wish
While Niall and Cain were woohooing in the outdoor shower on the other side of the wall, Lonnie proposed
Unlike Morna and Oliver, they didn't immediately try for baby. They went to the bedroom for a pillow fight instead
It ended badly but Lonnie immediately gave Kenna a shy kiss so all must have been forgiven
I have no idea when the boys got into the hot tub but noticed that Niall had rolled a wish to cuddle Cain. Of course he got his wish and the rest of the chain which finished with them woohooing for 1,500 LTH points
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Rory came home with a wish to set a booby trap and Lachie came home with a wish to finish a book. I gave him the recipe for cookies.
There is a Prom coming up and Rory needed a date so I invited Marisa Frio over. I was slow deciding who he should be with because I had a girl and a boy picked out. I went with the girl because I knew it would take away the temptation to keep him.
I couldn't see Lachie in Rory's queue so had to scroll through the whole family to discover that he was about to scare Kenna.
Fail! LOL
Rory and Marisa are compatible of course
First kiss
I can tell that Lachie instigated the game of catch because I give my males footballs.
Marisa stayed for dinner
Rory had woohoo in his queue but he had to wait for Niall to finish talking with Marisa.
They chose the tent!
I always forget about the interaction to ask a parent for child's hand in marriage but not today!
Niall gave his blessing but I would really love to see a fail one day
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Did I mention that Lachie is my first irresistible sim in a couple of generations?
There wasn't a stereo in the house so everyone made do with talking or watching TV.
When I checked on Rory he was painting in his sleepwear. I couldn't see Marisa until I went into map view and found her reading a book in the tent. It must have been a forgettable romp
Duff made a beeline for the cheese plate when he got home.
I saw Cain asking Niall to watch the stars and had forgotten about the deck until they went outside
I was hoping the family could talk to Duff when he finished eating, but he went straight to bed.
The rest of the family were on their way home but I left Lonnie and Kenna there. I got a popup thanking Lonnie for coming so went looking for him. I found them quite a distance from the house with "watch the stars" in their queues. I cancelled it and sent them home.
Marisa finally emerged from the tent. I went into map view to see what she was doing and saw that she was about to propose! Nope! Too soon!
I had Rory deflect the proposal with a kiss and a request to leave
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Why are you not impressed, Lonnie? You can feed a family of 10 with that minnow!
The family ate waffles in the hope that one of the kids would roll a wish to prepare some. It didn't happen
Lachie's waking wish was to hang out with Niall. He got his wish over breakfast so I sent him out to water the plants. He rolled a wish to level up
Cain's waking wish was to practise MA, Kenna's was to paint but I had her work on a locked in wish to break 25 more boards instead and Rory's waking wish was to paint
Lonnie's waking wish was to learn painting but he also had three writing wishes locked in so I had him work on his book instead.
Niall's waking wish was to woohoo with Cain but I had him prepare a meal because Cain was busy. I knew he would get his wish sometime during the morning
The watering didn't quite get Lachie his wish to level up so I had him tend garden until he got it. I knew it would only take a couple of plants so I sent Niall out to help him. I love the warm glow of the flame fruit
While I was lining up the gardening shot, I saw that sims were using the carousel so I rushed over to investigate. It was good to see Duff, Brian and Kerrie were among the revellers
Jay was also there
When Rory finished this painting, he rolled a wish to paint something worth §150. The wish is not worth much but I locked it in since he is artistic and it shouldn't take long to fulfill.
When Lachie got his gardening wish, I had him prepare some waffles. Heirs need to be well rounded and cooking is an important skill.
He immediately went to the sand pit to destroy a partial sandcastle when he was done cooking. It must be his way of releasing steam
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Since it was Prom Day I decided to invite Marisa and Alvin over for the day
Lachie had been chatting with Alvin on the phone earlier in the morning and had a wish to kiss him locked in. He took care of that with a shy kiss - so cute! I love a sim who takes care of their own needs
When I saw that Niall and Cain were done with their woohoo, I brought the wedding arch out of storage so that Kenna and Lonnie could get married.
The couple waited patiently for the family and guests to gather around
Cain and Niall both cried
Only Lachie and Rory were unmoved.
Perhaps Rory was not as unmoved as I had thought. Of course, like his father Niall, he often has a sad look.
Cain had a wish to visit the park locked in from the previous day. I sent him over with Niall.
Niall chatted with his cousin, Duff. Duff would become an elder later in the day
I turned the camera towards Duff so that I could check on the teens left at home. I could see them happily flirting in the background
Jay joined their conversation
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
As were the teens who hadn't gone far after the wedding.
They ventured a little further not long after
Cain and Niall were chatting when I checked on them.
The teens continued flirting after woohooing
The newlyweds had some fun in the elevator
I fed the teens before Prom because I hate how hungry they are when they get home.
Alvin got waylaid by Lonnie so had to be called to meal a second time. It was getting close to Prom time so I changed their clothes with MC.
Both dates got in the limo!
As I was seeing the kids off, I saw that Duff and Brian were still at the park.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I was thrilled to see Duff and Brian making use of the cotton candy and popcorn stands
The grown ups had Niall's favourite, burgers, for dinner
Kenna got a text that Donna Frio's party was about to begin
Donna was feeding her son, Timothy, when the family arrived.
I had Niall prepare a cheese plate. While I was checking Donna's family tree my game froze
Surprisingly the party still went ahead. Sometimes parties will be cancelled if I close my game between receiving the invitation and my sims attending.
Both couples watched the stars
Donna's husband, Darnell, arrived home while the boys were watching the stars. Darnell is Beitris' son
My boys weren't very hungry when they got home but I knew they wouldn't make it until breakfast, so I had them eat the muffins Rory had prepared as a child
John and Greg were the first to arrive
John wandered off to haunt when Greg got to the rocker first
Brett arrived just before I closed my game.
