Beathan recently learned how to make cheesesteak. I miss Jordan's ability to cook anything the family wanted! Euan was happy to get his favourite for dinner
I went into map view and found Greg Marsters at the beach.
He was just about to swim when Euan got to him.
I had no doubt they would be attracted to each other although I was a little shocked to see that Euan rolled a wish to kiss Brett while at school
What a beautiful spot for star gazing
When I checked Fife's thumbnail, I saw he was fishing. He rolled a wish to catch an excellent tragic clownfish so I zoomed home to put watermelon in his inventory.
Back to Euan and Greg
The boys had their first kiss and are now going steady
I found the boys watching the stars in a spot that told me they had just been in the bedroom
When Euan got home, he got his wish
The sparring match took about an hour so Fife was doing a great job to hang in there, although he finally lost.
Euan rolled a wish to fish before 6am. He is definitely no angler, like Fife!
As you can see, it's nearly light. He took an hour and a half to catch one measly red herring! At least it's his favourite colour
He managed to get half an hour sleep before breakfast.
I don't know why this cracked me up but as Euan got up to water the plants both his dads turned and gave him this rather stern look!
Sims really do know what's fun and what's not. Look at Euan sauntering to the garden, whereas Fife is sprinting because I said he could fish
He didn't roll a wish to level up but he reached level 4 after watering a few plants
Sam rolled a wish to serenade Beathan during the night.
Fife will probably master fishing in the next day.
LOL It actually doesn't look too weird from a distance
Because it was getting close to school time, I dressed the boys using MC. This shark looks several times larger than the croc he caught recently and yet it weighs only 46 kg.
The boys had a field trip to the Theatre. Timothy Svard was chaperone. The girl beside him is Mariah Frio. From her eyes, I would say she is descended from my sim, Lilika so perhaps Timothy's niece or granddaughter as he is Lilika's son.
Brett also went
Because Beathan mastered the painting skill a long time ago, I thought he might like another artistic outlet.
Sam wanted to meet someone new and I saw Wyatt Valquist across the street.
While talking with Wyatt, Sam rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. Since I don't want a photo of Wyatt, I sent him home.
The boys got home early because of the field trip.
Fife rolled a wish to meet someone new and I saw his Aunt Brianna, Artair's wife, across the street.
Old age (and CC) has been kind to her
When Euan caught the red herring, he wanted to learn the bait. I sent him fishing with links. Fife just fished because that's what he does
I checked on the boys as I hadn't seen them for a while and they were doing fine
Because Beathan wanted to improve his sculpting skill, I had Sam fish to keep him out of the way.
I invited Brett and Greg over for dinner but only Brett showed up.
Because it was so close to dinnertime, I didn't try inviting Greg a second time.
Beathan rolled a wish to give Brett a friendly introduction.
Fife and Brett watched the stars
After woohooing in the treehouse, the big boys also watched the stars
After woohooing in the outdoor shower, I could see that Brett was exhausted so I had Fife send him home.
John looks like he's gliding through the water nice capture no splash
Congratulations Elspet she is stunning no matter what she wears
LOL @ Fife's face with the cushion lol
Martin is a hansom man Welcome to the family
lol EA and their girls hairstyles on boys seriously whats with that grrr
lol Euan looks like me in the morning before my coffee haha cute
Nawww Beathan looks sad at the idea of his daughter going
LOL @ Sam and the interrupting wink
wow go Euan lol he doesnt waste time does he wishing while at school to kiss... not bad hehe
I love the sparring scenes
lol sims do have a humor i think they love it when we let them do what ever lol
lol that lip hahaha
beautiful vies with watching the stars scenes
@bebasim Thanks for the lovely comments
The girls' hair is both annoying and good for a laugh
Maybe you will get a boy like Martin when you play my Don
There were no early morning fish wishes so the family slept through until breakfast. Euan's waking wish was to hang out with Greg. He'll have to wait for that.
Fife's waking wish was to practice on the MA training dummy. He still needs to work on his skill a little
Sam's waking wish was to fish and he also had a wish to catch a perfect tragic clownfish locked in from the previous day. Fulfilled both wishes in one go
Fife must have been just shy of leveling up because he did so pretty quickly and it triggered a wish to break a board.
Beathan's waking wish was to play a game with Euan
After the gardening was done, I left the boys to free will
When they had had their fun, I sent Beathan to work on his sculpture as he had a couple of sculpting wishes locked in. I sent Sam to the piano before he could pull out his guitar.
After leveling up and getting one of his sculpting wishes, Beathan rolled a wish to catch a bug. A nearby spawner was active - easy!
When he got back I let them have some more free time since their social bars needed topping up
Because the boys would be home late because of Shop Class, I decided to send the big boys to the park. Sam met Reggie Frio, Liana's husband.
Beathan met Daniel Frio, Jared's grandson and Reggie's cousin.
Liana was also there, eating at the picnic table. As always, Sam's irresistible trait drew sims like flies to excrement
Harry Valquist was trying to get into Sam's orbit but was having no luck so I had Beathan talk with him. Sam is talking with Daniella Lothario, the worst sim mother in the world!
Shark Racket's granddaughter, Bethany Frio, got stuck inside Sam!
She ended up wearing his clothes
The boys did their homework when they got home. They had just enough time after to get in a couple of wishes before the family attended a party.
Fife rolled a wish to finish a book so I gave him a comic book
Euan still had a wish to catch a perfect tragic clownfish locked in.
The family all went to Alexa Valquist's party
When Fife and Euan arrived, both rolled wishes to become friends with Alexa.
Since it was getting close to dinnertime, I sent Beathan to the kitchen to make sushi.
Sam was playing guitar on the deck when I saw his father, Cliff, in his queue. Sam seems happy to see him
When Sam and his dad had chatted, I sent him inside to eat with his family.
Fife, no! He was complaining about art to his artistic grandpa. I had him apologize since I don't know how long he will last as he is 3 days over a full life bar already.
I sent Euan out to chat with his grandpa as well
I saw "watch the stars" in the big boys' queues but couldn't find them at first. They were on an upper deck
I sent the teens home first. Euan went straight to the board breaker.
Fife mastered fishing
When the big boys got home, I left them to their own devices
The teens played catch before bed.
When Fife mastered fishing, he rolled the inevitable wish to catch a deathfish. I woke him just after midnight. I could only find 2 angel fish in the house and was worried he would run out of bait before catching one. His first catch was a vampire fish.
He managed to catch a death fish before his bait ran out.
Jordan and John arrived within minutes of each other After standing in the middle of the trampoline, Jordan jumped on it for a while before going inside to watch Beathan sleep for a few minutes
John came straight for Jordan! There have been no romantic moves but the boys spent a lot of time talking and joking
Although John and Jordan wandered through the room as the family gathered for breakfast, no-one reacted because I have a mod that stops that. It would annoy me that sims would stop mid-meal because a ghost happened to drift by and then when I sent them back to their meals they would get the stuffed moodlet
I decided to grant Euan his wish to be BFF with Fife. I normally cancel all BFF wishes. First I had to get them feeling "friendly" about each other so I let them talk. Fife, of course, boasted about his fishing feats Sam was preparing pancakes to replace the ones the family had just eaten.
I loved Fife's surprised face when Euan asked him
I then sent the boys out to water the garden before the school bus arrived. When the boys left the house, Sam stopped cooking and was walking towards Euan with "upset" in his queue. No idea how Euan and Fife being BFF could have done that. It was plum silly so I sent Sam back to his pancakes.
After the teens left for school and the gardening was done, I left the big boys to their own devices for a while
Sam rolled a wish to increase his athletic skill so I sent him to pump iron while Beathan worked on his sculpture.
Since the boys had no after school activities, I decided to treat them to a visit from their boyfriends I used MC to invite them while they were doing their homework.
When Euan and Fife became BFF, Euan rolled a wish to give his brother a gift. Since neither boy had a guitar, I bought two and had Euan present one to his brother Although neither is a virtuoso, I have found most sims will roll a wish to learn the guitar skill at some point in their life.
Although Brett and Greg were in different parts of town they arrived at the same time
Neither couple needed any help from me - just as I like it
I wonder what Fife and Brett have been up to?
I had to take this pic with the walls down to show that the house was full of love that night!
I'd like to say these two behaved better but they had hit the shower earlier as well
Um, that's the wall Fife!
These two had gone quiet so I checked and found them outside the front door
I sent the boys home because inactives get tired earlier than actives. Fife rolled a wish to make grilled cheese after they had them for dinner
Euan had a wish to level up. He was about to go for the board breaker but I think the training dummy is faster (I could be wrong), so I had him use that instead.
He leveled up before bed
Sam rolled a wish to fish before 6am.
He only managed to catch an anchovy before I sent him back to bed.
Now that Beathan has reached level 8 in cooking, I allowed the family to eat Jordan's crepes since Beathan can now replace them
Euan woke with a wish to weed
Fife's waking wish was to hang out with his cousin, Liana. I had him call her, then sent him out to water the plants.
When I last looked the boys were flirting but they were doing their own thing when I next checked.
The boys chatted before the school bus came.
Sam was just shy of fulfilling his wish to increase his athletic skill. I knew a game of catch would do the trick
After Sam leveled up, I sent the boys to finish the gardening. I can see the garden is getting a bit sparce and, with another tree dead, more will need to be planted.
Sam had a wish to prepare perfect grilled cheese locked in from the previous day and Beathan still wanted to level up in sculpting.
When Sam finished cooking I gave him some sheet music so he could learn a new song
I recoloured the piano before I sent him back to play some more.
Beathan didn't level up but he got his wish to sculpt something worth more than §100
When he finished his sculpture, the boys filled their social bars
The boys got home early and did their homework. This is Fife's last homework! Sam and Beathan were going to try out the new bed I had bought for when Brett moves in
I knew the guitar would come in handy! Fife came home from school with a wish to play
Euan came home with a wish to play chess. He's not a genius and has never rolled this wish before.
Playing the guitar triggered a wish to jam with someone
After the boys got their wishes and their fun bars were full, it was time for Fife's birthday
The dreaded pigtails!
Much better!
The perfect outfit for a man who loves the outdoors and fishing
Gotta show my boy with his usual serious face!
While eating cake, Beathan and Euan turned their heads and crossed their eyes! Perhaps someone at the table farted LOL
As soon as he had eaten, Fife rushed out to fish
Sam and Beathan watched the stars.
Euan graduated to balsa boards
Sam, Beathan and Fife went to Alexa Valquist's party. Euan would join them when he fulfilled his wish to break 5 more boards.
I sent Beathan inside to prepare a cheese plate while Sam and Beathan chatted outside.
Beathan, like his father, Jordan, is a Natural Cook
Euan arrived at the same time as his Uncle Artair.
Fife rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
When I saw that Artair's life bar was full, I had Beathan chat with him. I got a popup later in the night that he will be dying the next day
Philip Svard chatted with Sam. It seems they have compatible star signs.
Euan rolled a wish to give Harry Valquist a friendly introduction so I sent him inside.
Because it was a late party, the family went straight to bed when they got home.
No early morning fishing wishes so the family slept through until breakfast. It's Graduation Day for Fife
I sent Fife and Euan out to water the garden. Neither rolled a wish to level up but Euan leveled up.
Sam had a wish to play a game with Beathan. I now know why he has been rolling wishes to improve his athletic skill! He just wanted to get Beathan back for beaning him when he was the one with more athletic ability
After the gardening was done, the family headed to the Town Hall for Fife's Graduation ceremony.
Brett was the only other YA in town who would be graduating that day. He was there with his mothers. I guess he's really close to his mother, Ida
Awwww They really are a great couple
It took Brett close to 2 sim hours to change into his Graduation gown which meant I had to wait longer for him to finish before I could move him in His brother, Greg, showed up as well.
Fife was Valedictorian and voted Most Popular
Fife had a wish to meet someone new so I sent the family home and sent him across the street to the park because I saw Mikezumi was there
Sam's waking wish was to fish and he finally got it when they got home. Euan reached level 5 in MA and rolled a wish to meditate. After meeting my SS, Fife joined his father at the pond.
Beathan continued working on his ice sculpture.
After meditating, Euan went back to breaking boards. Because he is disciplined, he does this autonomously.
When I saw that Brett was back at home, I invited him over
Only minutes after Brett joined the household, they all attended a party thrown by Daniella Lothario. This is the house she and Don lived in when they kicked their teens out. They must have earned enough money to buy it back again
Euan wanted to introduce himself to Daniella.
I thought that Sam should also work on his cooking skill so I had him prepare the cheese plate this time.
The boys haven't had a chance to have any time together since Brett moved in.
Artair arrived and I grew anxious. I knew he was due to die today and it would be just my luck I would witness it.
Fife also wanted to meet Daniella.
Sam talked with Anthony Racket.
Beathan found the stereo and was dancing. When Fife went to talk with Daniella, Brett also danced. He rolled the party animal trait on aging up and I didn't change it.
Artair's daughter, Starr was also there with her toddler daughter, Gladys. She was teaching her how to talk in the backyard. Euan introduced himself to Anthony.
Fife rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. Romantic pics also count
Brett, being a party animal, asked Fife to dance with him
I am not surprised that Sam and Beathan made use of Daniella's bed
When I saw Artair reading, I had Euan join him for a chat.
LOL at Anthony playing video games behind them!
Fife wanted to fish before 6am. While he was fishing, I heard ghost music. Jordan was visiting. He had a quick swim but then got out and wandered off.
All these males! Although I don't like keeping females once they grow up, I am looking forward to a daughter or two
Euan woke with a wish to grow an apple tree.
While Beathan was heading out to work on his sculpture, I saw Jordan was producing more gems for the family with the board breaker
I sent Brett out to water the garden. When he first arrived he had a wish to learn the gardening skill and I had him plant a grape to unhide the gardening skill he got from Scouts. He also came to the house with fishing skill which he may have got from Scouts as well.
I let Euan do what he wanted and he went straight for the board breaker One day he will be as skilled as Grandpa Jordan
Beathan and Sam will be elders in a day so it's time for the younger generation to take over the cooking and gardening. After tending the garden, I sent the boys to the Town Hall to register as self-employed gardeners
When Euan saw his future mother-in-law, Ida, at the Town Hall the previous day, he rolled a wish to give her a friendly introduction. I didn't lock a 250 point wish in but realized he should meet his future mothers-in-law soon anyway. I sent him to their house. After introducing himself to Ida, he introduced himself to Mary.
I checked back at the house and found Fife and Brett getting along well
Then I saw woohoo in Euan's queue and dashed back to him. Not only was he woohooing, but his future mothers-in-law were also trying to use the bed for woohoo!
Greg shooed them away
And had his way with Euan I mostly zoomed back to see who had instigated it but finding the additional drama with the mother was a bonus
Drama over, I went back to the house and found Brett dancing
I saw that Brett had rolled a wish to meet someone new so I sent him to the park to meet Aileas. While they were talking I saw Mikezumi run past in the background She obviously has a lot more energy than I do!
I found Sam and Beathan in the hot tub. After I cleaned the woohoo puddle with MC, I had the boys get out and get dressed because I saw that Beathan had a wish to catch a bug and they had probably been in there too long anyway.
I saw that Euan was playing chess so I checked on him. He hadn't bothered to get dressed before heading out to the balcony! I could see through the window that Greg's mothers had finally had a chance to use the bed
Fife had been fishing and it was good to see that Brett had the power to drag him away from it when he wanted something. Fife would fish 24/7 if I let him!
After Brett got a wish to skinny dip with Fife, they had a private wedding
Since Brett was the one who proposed when they were teens, they got his last name. I toyed with the idea of changing their name to the family one but decided to roll with it.
When Euan got back from Greg's he went straight to Sam for a chat. He didn't get to talk long because I had released Beathan from sculpting after he got his wish to level up.
I have no idea why Fife chose to play the piano! I know he learned the piano skill on a field trip to the Theatre but he is no virtuoso and generally prefers to be outdoors.
When Sam got an extra trait recently, Party Animal was randomly rolled. I went with it
It was nice to see the boys dancing together
The family were meant to attend Liana's party but when I checked in map view she was heading out to work so I didn't send them.
Euan is working on two big fishing wishes - one to master the skill and the other to catch every type of fish. Fife fished because he could and I had Brett join him because he wanted to prepare a meal with freshly caught fish.
The big boys watched the stars from closer to the house this time but at least they are facing outwards even if the treehouse is in their way
Beathan must have jumped into Sam's arms about 3 times while I was watching. Perhaps this is the reason Sam wanted more athletic skill?
It's Beathan and Sam's birthday
Beathan woke with a wish to garden so I had him plant a watermelon seed.
Euan's waking wish was to practise MA.
I didn't turn on the sprinklers before the boys gardened because they both have wishes to level up locked in and there aren't many plants so watering gave them more to do. I don't know if you can tell from this distance, but Fife could not take his eyes off Brett even while he gardened
I heard Sam playing the piano and looked for Beathan. I found him on the trampoline
Brett's waking wish was to paint. While he did that I had Fife prepare some pancakes because he only has a few cooking skill points. It is so rare to see burned food in my saves!
I looked towards Beathan and could see bad things were about to happen!
To add insult to injury, Fife came over and complained about art!
Sam had a wish to meet someone new, so I sent him to the small park with Beathan. While Sam introduced himself to Mariah Frio, Beathan introduced himself to Sam's niece, Ella Racket.
The adult female with Connor Frio's hair colour is Connor's granddaughter, Constance. I can see Connor in her!
I had Sam come over to talk with his niece but he only had eyes for Beathan
Brett finished his painting. There must have been an easel in his family home because he had a couple skill points when he arrived.
Euan came home with a wish to set a booby trap. After he finished his homework I had him booby-trap the least used shower
I checked back on Sam and Beathan and it was obvious what they had been up to!
I followed when I saw Brett and Fife getting into the elevator
Elevator woohoo is not as scary as sneaking under the covers for bed woohoo
When the boys got home from the park, I had Sam serenade Beathan on the piano because he had wished it earlier in the day. When he was done, Beathan got stuck inside the piano! It probably happened because I didn't push the piano right against the wall. I fixed it when Beathan got out.
I heard something break and found Fife and Brett had broken the hot tub.
I decided to do cakes for both of the birthday boys so I got started early. Sam went first because he was at the top of the relationship panel.
I bet he didn't wish for this!
Much better!
Yep, I know all about the aches and pains of old age!
It's not so bad, is it, Sam?
Before the family had a chance to wander off and do other things, it was Beathan's turn.
He's wishing he ages as well as Sam!
But he's scared it might not happen!
Don't worry, Beathan! I'll fix you!
Age was kinder to Sam, but Beathan is looking good!
I took the stuffed moodlet away after they finished because there's no such thing as too much cake!
I sent both pairs slightly off lot so they could have great views for their star gazing wishes
Euan stayed home and worked on his fishing wishes.
Sam and Beathan danced until bedtime
Jordan visited a little after I loaded my save It must be stressful being a ghost because he started meditating as soon as he arrived.
The family enjoyed pancakes, totally oblivious to my plans for Sam and Beathan
Before the dishes were even cleared, I had Beathan call the travel agent
It wasn't too long before the boys arrived in Shang Simla. I had forgotten how beautiful the lighting is here
After a quick check to make sure that my boys were "intact", I did a save as and let them begin their vacation
Surprisingly both wished to visit the Academy. On arriving they wished to learn the MA skill. I am all about obliging wishes
I have no idea why Sam was so much faster than Beathan in getting to the first belt.
Good thing he had his guitar with him
As is the case most times when sims learn MA, they wish to spar. Beathan did just that
I was happy to see a local arrive while the boys were sparring. He was actually the Special Merchant. Since I have no need of him, I left him to train and sent the boys to the Shang Simla market.
The boys had wishes to meet some locals. Beathan met the General Goods Merchant and Sam met the Food Merchant.
They also got hearts but I didn't get a pic because the shops are on different levels.
While Beathan was still talking, I saw Sam leave the building and autonomously skinny dip. Perhaps it was unwise to give him the Party Animal trait
I then had Beathan meet the Relics Merchant.
Since the Halls of the Lost Army is on the same lot as the Market, I sent the boys to have a look.
That's a lot of stairs for the elderly!
Sam was very excited!
Even though they were on high free will the boys just stood there. I guess it's because the building contains a quest and they were waiting to be told what to do. They might do a quest another day but not today! I saw a sofa and decided my boys could do with a rest after climbing all those stairs
While making out, both rolled wishes to skinny dip
While waiting for sims to show up, the boys played catch.
Maya 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and her husband, Deng, arrived and Beathan rolled a wish to meet Maya. I remember years ago I gave Maya a makeover and had her in one of my saves.
The boys had Stir Fry for dinner.
Maya and Deng joined them
While Beathan was chatting with the General Goods Merchant earlier, I had him buy a tent. After dinner the boys went to a campground.
There's not a lot to do at a campground so the boys rocked the tent
The boys only packed their light cotton pajamas so warmed themselves before retiring to the tent to sleep
The boys greeted each other with a kiss before packing the tent and heading to the Market for breakfast
They ate their pancakes with chopsticks as people do
The boys have 9 days in Shang Simla unless they want to go home earlier so I decided they should do a quest.
Sam had to report in to Hui Young Kim. I found her at the cemetery.
The boys then met up at the Halls of the Lost Army and got started.
I am not going to show the whole quest but I know I hadn't shared pics of Jordan and John doing a well dive so I will of Sam and Beathan. Sam rolled a wish to do a well dive but when he approached the well, his face told another story
Even so, he did it in style!
I realised after I sent Beathan to meet up with Sam that he didn't really need to dive as Sam would be coming back with the key stone. He didn't show off like Sam
From the popup I got, Beathan encountered some sort of problem and came up gasping for air.
Sam retrieved whatever it was he was meant to get in this last room and they were done
This is the area they explored. It is only a small quest since it is generally the first travellers get on arriving in Shang Simla.
While exploring the boys rolled wishes to visit the Academy. Since it was still early in the day I didn't rush to find Hui to report in. They met two locals
What better way to get to know them than to spar
Beathan won his sparring match, leveled up and rolled a wish to use the board breaker.
Sam eventually won his match as well. He also leveled up and wished the same.
Sam then rolled a wish to play a game with Beathan and I found a convenient chess table nearby
Then it was time to find Hui so Sam could report in. I found her at home.
Once Sam had gained access to the house, I had Beathan follow. He introduced himself to Sun Young Kim while Sam introduced himself to Ho Sung Kim.
I sent Beathan to the kitchen to make some sushi. It was Sun's favourite food
The boys "watched the stars" from an upper deck.
Or perhaps they were just admiring Chinese architecture
Since they were there, they made use of an empty bed
It was getting late so they set up camp at an abandoned barn.
And rocked the tent before sleeping
The boys were hungry when they woke so I sent them straight to the market for breakfast.
I then MC'd a quest for Beathan: You There! Stranger!
This is where the boys began their quest after opening the door in the dragon's maw.
It's so much faster with two sims doing the work!
Poor Beathan got chewed up and spat out by a sarcophagus he was looking inside.
I was almost too nervous to have Sam check his but all went well
The boys had no problem with the next two they checked
I decided the boys could do with a reward
After the boys had had their fun, I sent them back to the main room to finish the quest. The quest ended in this room with Beathan having a vision which he needed to report on. Even though the quest was over I had the boys loot a couple more small rooms off the corridor leading to this room and at the back of this room.
This was the area they explored on their quest.
When they were done, Beathan reported back to the Special Merchant.
He started yelling at Beathan for absolutely nothing! I am glad I didn't have my boys introduce themselves to him on their first day there as he is not worth knowing! I didn't even bother to write down or remember his name for my update because he is a non-entity to me!
The boys had wishes to go to the Academy and Sam had a wish to spar. Beathan won!
Then it was time for dinner so I sent the boys to the Market for Beathan's favourite, egg rolls
The boys admired Chinese architecture after dinner
I'd forgotten that Sam had learned a song until I saw it in the interactions menu and had him teach it to Beathan.
I then sent the boys to the Base Camp since I thought they might like to sleep in a bed at least once
Although the furniture is cheap and the decor meh, the building is in a beautiful location
I think the boys get a better moodlet from sleeping in the tent than they did in this cheap bed.
I could have had one of the boys cook a meal at base camp, but decided they shouldn't have to work while on vacation.
After completing his quest the day before, Beathan then had to collect various gems. Fortunately the Special Goods Merchant was at the Market and he handed over the gems after breakfast.
Beathan had a wish to visit the Scholars Garden. It would have been a lovely place to meditate but the boys are not at that level yet but they did have wishes to level up in MA so I had them spar instead.
Beathan won again!
Sam had a wish to visit the Academy and, after losing, a wish to train on the dummy so I sent him ahead and got a wish of Beathan's out of the way. He rolled a wish to visit the Terracotta Army on their first day but I hadn't got around to it.
After the boys got their wishes I sent them to the Hot Springs to fish
Although they were fishing from different spawners they were socializing and I thought it was adorable that they watched each other more than what they were doing
After the boys had fished for several hours, I sent them for a swim.
Comments
I went into map view and found Greg Marsters at the beach.
He was just about to swim when Euan got to him.
I had no doubt they would be attracted to each other
What a beautiful spot for star gazing
When I checked Fife's thumbnail, I saw he was fishing. He rolled a wish to catch an excellent tragic clownfish so I zoomed home to put watermelon in his inventory.
Back to Euan and Greg
The boys had their first kiss and are now going steady
I found the boys watching the stars in a spot that told me they had just been in the bedroom
When Euan got home, he got his wish
The sparring match took about an hour so Fife was doing a great job to hang in there, although he finally lost.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

As you can see, it's nearly light. He took an hour and a half to catch one measly red herring! At least it's his favourite colour
He managed to get half an hour sleep before breakfast.
I don't know why this cracked me up but as Euan got up to water the plants both his dads turned and gave him this rather stern look!
Sims really do know what's fun and what's not. Look at Euan sauntering to the garden, whereas Fife is sprinting because I said he could fish
He didn't roll a wish to level up but he reached level 4 after watering a few plants
Sam rolled a wish to serenade Beathan during the night.
Fife will probably master fishing in the next day.
LOL It actually doesn't look too weird from a distance
Because it was getting close to school time, I dressed the boys using MC. This shark looks several times larger than the croc he caught recently and yet it weighs only 46 kg.
The boys had a field trip to the Theatre. Timothy Svard was chaperone. The girl beside him is Mariah Frio. From her eyes, I would say she is descended from my sim, Lilika so perhaps Timothy's niece or granddaughter as he is Lilika's son.
Brett also went
Because Beathan mastered the painting skill a long time ago, I thought he might like another artistic outlet.
Sam wanted to meet someone new and I saw Wyatt Valquist across the street.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The boys got home early because of the field trip.
Fife rolled a wish to meet someone new and I saw his Aunt Brianna, Artair's wife, across the street.
Old age (and CC) has been kind to her
When Euan caught the red herring, he wanted to learn the bait. I sent him fishing with links. Fife just fished because that's what he does
I checked on the boys as I hadn't seen them for a while and they were doing fine
Because Beathan wanted to improve his sculpting skill, I had Sam fish to keep him out of the way.
I invited Brett and Greg over for dinner but only Brett showed up.
Because it was so close to dinnertime, I didn't try inviting Greg a second time.
Beathan rolled a wish to give Brett a friendly introduction.
Fife and Brett watched the stars
After woohooing in the treehouse, the big boys also watched the stars
After woohooing in the outdoor shower, I could see that Brett was exhausted so I had Fife send him home.

Fife's waking wish was to practice on the MA training dummy. He still needs to work on his skill a little
Sam's waking wish was to fish and he also had a wish to catch a perfect tragic clownfish locked in from the previous day. Fulfilled both wishes in one go
Fife must have been just shy of leveling up because he did so pretty quickly and it triggered a wish to break a board.
Beathan's waking wish was to play a game with Euan
After the gardening was done, I left the boys to free will
When they had had their fun, I sent Beathan to work on his sculpture as he had a couple of sculpting wishes locked in. I sent Sam to the piano before he could pull out his guitar.
After leveling up and getting one of his sculpting wishes, Beathan rolled a wish to catch a bug. A nearby spawner was active - easy!
When he got back I let them have some more free time since their social bars needed topping up
Because the boys would be home late because of Shop Class, I decided to send the big boys to the park. Sam met Reggie Frio, Liana's husband.
Beathan met Daniel Frio, Jared's grandson and Reggie's cousin.
Liana was also there, eating at the picnic table. As always, Sam's irresistible trait drew sims like flies to excrement
Harry Valquist was trying to get into Sam's orbit but was having no luck so I had Beathan talk with him. Sam is talking with Daniella Lothario, the worst sim mother in the world!
Shark Racket's granddaughter, Bethany Frio, got stuck inside Sam!
She ended up wearing his clothes

Fife rolled a wish to finish a book so I gave him a comic book
Euan still had a wish to catch a perfect tragic clownfish locked in.
The family all went to Alexa Valquist's party
When Fife and Euan arrived, both rolled wishes to become friends with Alexa.
Since it was getting close to dinnertime, I sent Beathan to the kitchen to make sushi.
Sam was playing guitar on the deck when I saw his father, Cliff, in his queue. Sam seems happy to see him
When Sam and his dad had chatted, I sent him inside to eat with his family.
Fife, no! He was complaining about art to his artistic grandpa. I had him apologize since I don't know how long he will last as he is 3 days over a full life bar already.
I sent Euan out to chat with his grandpa as well
I saw "watch the stars" in the big boys' queues but couldn't find them at first. They were on an upper deck
I sent the teens home first. Euan went straight to the board breaker.
Fife mastered fishing
When the big boys got home, I left them to their own devices
The teens played catch before bed.
When Fife mastered fishing, he rolled the inevitable wish to catch a deathfish. I woke him just after midnight. I could only find 2 angel fish in the house and was worried he would run out of bait before catching one. His first catch was a vampire fish.
He managed to catch a death fish before his bait ran out.

John came straight for Jordan! There have been no romantic moves but the boys spent a lot of time talking and joking
Although John and Jordan wandered through the room as the family gathered for breakfast, no-one reacted because I have a mod that stops that. It would annoy me that sims would stop mid-meal because a ghost happened to drift by and then when I sent them back to their meals they would get the stuffed moodlet
I decided to grant Euan his wish to be BFF with Fife. I normally cancel all BFF wishes. First I had to get them feeling "friendly" about each other so I let them talk. Fife, of course, boasted about his fishing feats
I loved Fife's surprised face when Euan asked him
I then sent the boys out to water the garden before the school bus arrived. When the boys left the house, Sam stopped cooking and was walking towards Euan with "upset" in his queue. No idea how Euan and Fife being BFF could have done that. It was plum silly so I sent Sam back to his pancakes.
After the teens left for school and the gardening was done, I left the big boys to their own devices for a while
Sam rolled a wish to increase his athletic skill so I sent him to pump iron while Beathan worked on his sculpture.

When Euan and Fife became BFF, Euan rolled a wish to give his brother a gift. Since neither boy had a guitar, I bought two and had Euan present one to his brother
Although Brett and Greg were in different parts of town they arrived at the same time
Neither couple needed any help from me - just as I like it
I wonder what Fife and Brett have been up to?
I had to take this pic with the walls down to show that the house was full of love that night!
I'd like to say these two behaved better but they had hit the shower earlier as well
Um, that's the wall Fife!
These two had gone quiet so I checked and found them outside the front door
I sent the boys home because inactives get tired earlier than actives. Fife rolled a wish to make grilled cheese after they had them for dinner
Euan had a wish to level up. He was about to go for the board breaker but I think the training dummy is faster (I could be wrong), so I had him use that instead.
He leveled up before bed

He only managed to catch an anchovy before I sent him back to bed.
Now that Beathan has reached level 8 in cooking, I allowed the family to eat Jordan's crepes since Beathan can now replace them
Euan woke with a wish to weed
Fife's waking wish was to hang out with his cousin, Liana. I had him call her, then sent him out to water the plants.
When I last looked the boys were flirting but they were doing their own thing when I next checked.
The boys chatted before the school bus came.
Sam was just shy of fulfilling his wish to increase his athletic skill. I knew a game of catch would do the trick
After Sam leveled up, I sent the boys to finish the gardening. I can see the garden is getting a bit sparce and, with another tree dead, more will need to be planted.
Sam had a wish to prepare perfect grilled cheese locked in from the previous day and Beathan still wanted to level up in sculpting.
When Sam finished cooking I gave him some sheet music so he could learn a new song
I recoloured the piano before I sent him back to play some more.
Beathan didn't level up but he got his wish to sculpt something worth more than §100
When he finished his sculpture, the boys filled their social bars
The boys got home early and did their homework. This is Fife's last homework! Sam and Beathan were going to try out the new bed I had bought for when Brett moves in
I knew the guitar would come in handy! Fife came home from school with a wish to play
Euan came home with a wish to play chess. He's not a genius and has never rolled this wish before.
Playing the guitar triggered a wish to jam with someone

The dreaded pigtails!
Much better!
The perfect outfit for a man who loves the outdoors and fishing
Gotta show my boy with his usual serious face!
While eating cake, Beathan and Euan turned their heads and crossed their eyes! Perhaps someone at the table farted
As soon as he had eaten, Fife rushed out to fish
Sam and Beathan watched the stars.
Euan graduated to balsa boards
Sam, Beathan and Fife went to Alexa Valquist's party. Euan would join them when he fulfilled his wish to break 5 more boards.
I sent Beathan inside to prepare a cheese plate while Sam and Beathan chatted outside.
Beathan, like his father, Jordan, is a Natural Cook
Euan arrived at the same time as his Uncle Artair.
Fife rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
When I saw that Artair's life bar was full, I had Beathan chat with him. I got a popup later in the night that he will be dying the next day
Philip Svard chatted with Sam. It seems they have compatible star signs.
Euan rolled a wish to give Harry Valquist a friendly introduction so I sent him inside.
Because it was a late party, the family went straight to bed when they got home.

I sent Fife and Euan out to water the garden. Neither rolled a wish to level up but Euan leveled up.
Sam had a wish to play a game with Beathan. I now know why he has been rolling wishes to improve his athletic skill! He just wanted to get Beathan back for beaning him when he was the one with more athletic ability
After the gardening was done, the family headed to the Town Hall for Fife's Graduation ceremony.
Brett was the only other YA in town who would be graduating that day. He was there with his mothers. I guess he's really close to his mother, Ida
Awwww They really are a great couple
It took Brett close to 2 sim hours to change into his Graduation gown which meant I had to wait longer for him to finish before I could move him in
Fife was Valedictorian and voted Most Popular
Fife had a wish to meet someone new so I sent the family home and sent him across the street to the park because I saw Mikezumi was there
Sam's waking wish was to fish and he finally got it when they got home. Euan reached level 5 in MA and rolled a wish to meditate. After meeting my SS, Fife joined his father at the pond.
Beathan continued working on his ice sculpture.
After meditating, Euan went back to breaking boards. Because he is disciplined, he does this autonomously.

Only minutes after Brett joined the household, they all attended a party thrown by Daniella Lothario. This is the house she and Don lived in when they kicked their teens out. They must have earned enough money to buy it back again
Euan wanted to introduce himself to Daniella.
I thought that Sam should also work on his cooking skill so I had him prepare the cheese plate this time.
The boys haven't had a chance to have any time together since Brett moved in.
Artair arrived and I grew anxious. I knew he was due to die today and it would be just my luck I would witness it.
Fife also wanted to meet Daniella.
Sam talked with Anthony Racket.
Beathan found the stereo and was dancing. When Fife went to talk with Daniella, Brett also danced. He rolled the party animal trait on aging up and I didn't change it.
Artair's daughter, Starr was also there with her toddler daughter, Gladys. She was teaching her how to talk in the backyard. Euan introduced himself to Anthony.
Fife rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. Romantic pics also count
Brett, being a party animal, asked Fife to dance with him
I am not surprised that Sam and Beathan made use of Daniella's bed
When I saw Artair reading, I had Euan join him for a chat.
LOL at Anthony playing video games behind them!

All these males! Although I don't like keeping females once they grow up, I am looking forward to a daughter or two
Euan woke with a wish to grow an apple tree.
While Beathan was heading out to work on his sculpture, I saw Jordan was producing more gems for the family with the board breaker
I sent Brett out to water the garden. When he first arrived he had a wish to learn the gardening skill and I had him plant a grape to unhide the gardening skill he got from Scouts. He also came to the house with fishing skill which he may have got from Scouts as well.
I let Euan do what he wanted and he went straight for the board breaker
Beathan and Sam will be elders in a day so it's time for the younger generation to take over the cooking and gardening. After tending the garden, I sent the boys to the Town Hall to register as self-employed gardeners
When Euan saw his future mother-in-law, Ida, at the Town Hall the previous day, he rolled a wish to give her a friendly introduction. I didn't lock a 250 point wish in but realized he should meet his future mothers-in-law soon anyway. I sent him to their house. After introducing himself to Ida, he introduced himself to Mary.
I checked back at the house and found Fife and Brett getting along well
Then I saw woohoo in Euan's queue and dashed back to him. Not only was he woohooing, but his future mothers-in-law were also trying to use the bed for woohoo!
Greg shooed them away
And had his way with Euan
Drama over, I went back to the house and found Brett dancing
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I found Sam and Beathan in the hot tub. After I cleaned the woohoo puddle with MC, I had the boys get out and get dressed because I saw that Beathan had a wish to catch a bug and they had probably been in there too long anyway.
I saw that Euan was playing chess so I checked on him. He hadn't bothered to get dressed before heading out to the balcony! I could see through the window that Greg's mothers had finally had a chance to use the bed
Fife had been fishing and it was good to see that Brett had the power to drag him away from it when he wanted something. Fife would fish 24/7 if I let him!
After Brett got a wish to skinny dip with Fife, they had a private wedding
Since Brett was the one who proposed when they were teens, they got his last name. I toyed with the idea of changing their name to the family one but decided to roll with it.
When Euan got back from Greg's he went straight to Sam for a chat. He didn't get to talk long because I had released Beathan from sculpting after he got his wish to level up.
I have no idea why Fife chose to play the piano! I know he learned the piano skill on a field trip to the Theatre but he is no virtuoso and generally prefers to be outdoors.
When Sam got an extra trait recently, Party Animal was randomly rolled. I went with it
It was nice to see the boys dancing together
The family were meant to attend Liana's party but when I checked in map view she was heading out to work so I didn't send them.
Euan is working on two big fishing wishes - one to master the skill and the other to catch every type of fish. Fife fished because he could and I had Brett join him because he wanted to prepare a meal with freshly caught fish.
The big boys watched the stars from closer to the house this time but at least they are facing outwards even if the treehouse is in their way
Beathan must have jumped into Sam's arms about 3 times while I was watching. Perhaps this is the reason Sam wanted more athletic skill?

Beathan woke with a wish to garden so I had him plant a watermelon seed.
Euan's waking wish was to practise MA.
I didn't turn on the sprinklers before the boys gardened because they both have wishes to level up locked in and there aren't many plants so watering gave them more to do. I don't know if you can tell from this distance, but Fife could not take his eyes off Brett even while he gardened
I heard Sam playing the piano and looked for Beathan. I found him on the trampoline
Brett's waking wish was to paint. While he did that I had Fife prepare some pancakes because he only has a few cooking skill points. It is so rare to see burned food in my saves!
I looked towards Beathan and could see bad things were about to happen!
To add insult to injury, Fife came over and complained about art!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The adult female with Connor Frio's hair colour is Connor's granddaughter, Constance. I can see Connor in her!
I had Sam come over to talk with his niece but he only had eyes for Beathan
Brett finished his painting. There must have been an easel in his family home because he had a couple skill points when he arrived.
Euan came home with a wish to set a booby trap. After he finished his homework I had him booby-trap the least used shower
I checked back on Sam and Beathan and it was obvious what they had been up to!
I followed when I saw Brett and Fife getting into the elevator
Elevator woohoo is not as scary as sneaking under the covers for bed woohoo
When the boys got home from the park, I had Sam serenade Beathan on the piano because he had wished it earlier in the day. When he was done, Beathan got stuck inside the piano! It probably happened because I didn't push the piano right against the wall. I fixed it when Beathan got out.
I heard something break and found Fife and Brett had broken the hot tub.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I bet he didn't wish for this!
Much better!
Yep, I know all about the aches and pains of old age!
It's not so bad, is it, Sam?
Before the family had a chance to wander off and do other things, it was Beathan's turn.
He's wishing he ages as well as Sam!
But he's scared it might not happen!
Don't worry, Beathan! I'll fix you!
Age was kinder to Sam, but Beathan is looking good!
I took the stuffed moodlet away after they finished because there's no such thing as too much cake!
I sent both pairs slightly off lot so they could have great views for their star gazing wishes
Euan stayed home and worked on his fishing wishes.
Sam and Beathan danced until bedtime

The family enjoyed pancakes, totally oblivious to my plans for Sam and Beathan
Before the dishes were even cleared, I had Beathan call the travel agent
It wasn't too long before the boys arrived in Shang Simla. I had forgotten how beautiful the lighting is here
After a quick check to make sure that my boys were "intact", I did a save as and let them begin their vacation
Surprisingly both wished to visit the Academy. On arriving they wished to learn the MA skill. I am all about obliging wishes
I have no idea why Sam was so much faster than Beathan in getting to the first belt.
Good thing he had his guitar with him
As is the case most times when sims learn MA, they wish to spar. Beathan did just that
I was happy to see a local arrive while the boys were sparring. He was actually the Special Merchant. Since I have no need of him, I left him to train and sent the boys to the Shang Simla market.
The boys had wishes to meet some locals. Beathan met the General Goods Merchant and Sam met the Food Merchant.
They also got hearts but I didn't get a pic because the shops are on different levels.
While Beathan was still talking, I saw Sam leave the building and autonomously skinny dip. Perhaps it was unwise to give him the Party Animal trait
I then had Beathan meet the Relics Merchant.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
That's a lot of stairs for the elderly!
Sam was very excited!
Even though they were on high free will the boys just stood there. I guess it's because the building contains a quest and they were waiting to be told what to do. They might do a quest another day but not today! I saw a sofa and decided my boys could do with a rest after climbing all those stairs
While making out, both rolled wishes to skinny dip
While waiting for sims to show up, the boys played catch.
Maya 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and her husband, Deng, arrived and Beathan rolled a wish to meet Maya. I remember years ago I gave Maya a makeover and had her in one of my saves.
The boys had Stir Fry for dinner.
Maya and Deng joined them
While Beathan was chatting with the General Goods Merchant earlier, I had him buy a tent. After dinner the boys went to a campground.
There's not a lot to do at a campground so the boys rocked the tent
The boys only packed their light cotton pajamas so warmed themselves before retiring to the tent to sleep
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
They ate their pancakes with chopsticks as people do
The boys have 9 days in Shang Simla unless they want to go home earlier so I decided they should do a quest.
Sam had to report in to Hui Young Kim. I found her at the cemetery.
The boys then met up at the Halls of the Lost Army and got started.
I am not going to show the whole quest but I know I hadn't shared pics of Jordan and John doing a well dive so I will of Sam and Beathan. Sam rolled a wish to do a well dive but when he approached the well, his face told another story
Even so, he did it in style!
I realised after I sent Beathan to meet up with Sam that he didn't really need to dive as Sam would be coming back with the key stone. He didn't show off like Sam
From the popup I got, Beathan encountered some sort of problem and came up gasping for air.
Sam retrieved whatever it was he was meant to get in this last room and they were done
This is the area they explored. It is only a small quest since it is generally the first travellers get on arriving in Shang Simla.

What better way to get to know them than to spar
Beathan won his sparring match, leveled up and rolled a wish to use the board breaker.
Sam eventually won his match as well. He also leveled up and wished the same.
Sam then rolled a wish to play a game with Beathan and I found a convenient chess table nearby
Then it was time to find Hui so Sam could report in. I found her at home.
Once Sam had gained access to the house, I had Beathan follow. He introduced himself to Sun Young Kim while Sam introduced himself to Ho Sung Kim.
I sent Beathan to the kitchen to make some sushi. It was Sun's favourite food
The boys "watched the stars" from an upper deck.
Or perhaps they were just admiring Chinese architecture
Since they were there, they made use of an empty bed
It was getting late so they set up camp at an abandoned barn.
And rocked the tent before sleeping
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I then MC'd a quest for Beathan: You There! Stranger!
This is where the boys began their quest after opening the door in the dragon's maw.
It's so much faster with two sims doing the work!
Poor Beathan got chewed up and spat out by a sarcophagus he was looking inside.
I was almost too nervous to have Sam check his but all went well
The boys had no problem with the next two they checked
I decided the boys could do with a reward
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
This was the area they explored on their quest.
When they were done, Beathan reported back to the Special Merchant.
He started yelling at Beathan for absolutely nothing! I am glad I didn't have my boys introduce themselves to him on their first day there as he is not worth knowing!
The boys had wishes to go to the Academy and Sam had a wish to spar. Beathan won!
Then it was time for dinner so I sent the boys to the Market for Beathan's favourite, egg rolls
The boys admired Chinese architecture after dinner
I'd forgotten that Sam had learned a song until I saw it in the interactions menu and had him teach it to Beathan.
I then sent the boys to the Base Camp since I thought they might like to sleep in a bed at least once
Although the furniture is cheap and the decor meh, the building is in a beautiful location
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I could have had one of the boys cook a meal at base camp, but decided they shouldn't have to work while on vacation.
After completing his quest the day before, Beathan then had to collect various gems. Fortunately the Special Goods Merchant was at the Market and he handed over the gems after breakfast.
Beathan had a wish to visit the Scholars Garden. It would have been a lovely place to meditate but the boys are not at that level yet but they did have wishes to level up in MA so I had them spar instead.
Beathan won again!
Sam had a wish to visit the Academy and, after losing, a wish to train on the dummy so I sent him ahead and got a wish of Beathan's out of the way. He rolled a wish to visit the Terracotta Army on their first day but I hadn't got around to it.
After the boys got their wishes I sent them to the Hot Springs to fish
Although they were fishing from different spawners they were socializing and I thought it was adorable that they watched each other more than what they were doing
After the boys had fished for several hours, I sent them for a swim.
