When the party from the previous update ended, I had all the band members get together, minus Elizabeth. I keep forgetting she's actually part of the group. Lauren joined in with the bass on this jam session.
Daisy went outside to chat with a random guy in the backyard. He was a zombie so she cured him of that first.
John Langerak had died recently, so Lauren went to chat with him at the family cemetery.
Winter had ended recently and it was time to work in the garden again. Lily also decided to plant her and Brandon's baby.
Brandon is still working on maxing his logic skill for his LTW.
Lily went to the alchemy store again to look for elixirs, just to see what was in stock.
The whole family went to the park so the band could play. However, I realized Daisy needed water so I had to have her photosynthesize to raise it up just a bit.
After they got tired of playing, I had to send Lily to dance for three hours. She was really getting into it.
When she had finished, I had her play her guitar for a bit. She didn't make a lot, but a few Sims took her picture.
When Lily left, I caught this Sim dancing on the bar.
Lily and Daisy had an early morning chat before Daisy gave her some lessons on martial arts. On the first sparring session, Lily was wearing the beginners outfit, but by the time of this picture, she had leveled up a few times.
Is it just me, or does Brandon look like he's waiting for an invisible person to make their move first?
The band then had another jam session at the park for money. I don't think they made much, it seemed everyone wanted to ignore their playing.
Some of the townsfolk wanted to keep bugging my Sims while they were playing, so I just gave in and let them give autographs to their "fans".
I didn't know bands got opportunities to watch other bands in the theater, but apparently they do. While all the band members were there, this Sim passed away. I can't recall if she's a randomly generated Sim, or if she is a distant relative to my families.
Lily got a wish to use the board breaker so I let her start off with the foam boards, then she moved to balsa wood.
Brandon loved seeing Lily being all tough so he had to give her a kiss, which ended up leading to the bedroom.
Daisy then had a chat with Lily to close out the night, and these three updates.
***Next time I play, we should get the first baby of generation 7, who probably will be the only baby from Brandon and Lily. However, generation 7 already exists with Sheri, and the other two grandbabies of Daisy whom I showed in previous updates.
***Last set of updates for the month of March. Probably will be taking a break from the Sims for several days, but will still be posting replies and comments, as well as handing out likes and awesomes. Now onto the first part of the update.
The band, minus Elizabeth, got together to practice for another performance in the park. I haven't yet, but I believe I'll kick Elizabeth out and put Lauren in. The band will only last until all the members pass away, as I'll probably be giving Lily's descendants regular jobs.
As you all know, I've been having Daisy and Lily practice martial arts. I hope to get them both to level 10 in the skill for no reason. I know Lily will get it because she's using life fruit to stay young, but Daisy is less than two weeks from becoming an elder.
At this point of playing, Brandon wasn't quite at the point where he maxed logic. Lauren played against him this time.
Later on during yesterday's play session, probably after Brandon hit level 10 in logic, I decided athletics will be his final skill for his lifetime wish.
Daisy went to the park and she started chatting with this random Sim. It turns out he is the university mascot, albeit not in costume, so they did the school cheer together.
Daisy has also been working on maxing out her piano skill so that she'll be able to play her best with the band.
The video game console has been getting a lot of use by everyone. This time, it was Brandon's turn to play.
Carly Langerak had passed away not too long after Daisy's brother John (and Carly's husband) passed away. I don't remember if Carly and John had any children or not, but I will look later.
Brandon and Lily have been enjoying each other's company. Brandon still pulls his silly pranks, but Lily still loves him, even if she does yell at him most of the time he pranks her.
The band got together at the park to play. This time, I remembered to invite Elizabeth Kemp, but she only played with them a little bit before she left. The band got some nice tips, and Daisy got enough to get a promotion. Only she and Lily are at level 2 of the band career at this point.
Like some of the previous times, townies want to keep interrupting the band members for autographs. By this point, I usually just have them be done playing and let the other band members continue playing.
I didn't want to send everyone home just yet, and decided to let them skate for awhile. Daisy is the best skater, and is able to do spins and skate backwards.
Lauren continues to learn the painting skill, but it doesn't do much for the family funds.
A random picture of the Goth home. I had previously changed the siding, and remodeled the kitchen but not too much else.
***These were from the last time I played, I just didn't post them on the day I said I was.
Goth Family, Days 277 through 280, Part
To start out the day, Daisy decided to teach meditation techniques to Lily.
Meditation was enough for Lily to move on to the next level of martial arts.
Because of this, I decided to have her spar with Daisy. I believe Daisy is just a bit higher in the skill, but I'm not sure now.
Brandon played video games online with other people this time. Usually, they just play on there own.
Lauren started working on her first book. It was a nonfictional book about life as a Plumbot. (Or it could have been her second book about Dwight's career in sports after he quit being a super spy).
Brandon and Lily are as romantic as ever. Realistically, Daisy should probably be dead, and Lily should be close to an elder by now. Daisy's lifespan was doubled by a genie, while Lily eats life fruit all the time to stay young for Brandon.
Lily worked in the garden and took care of the Forbidden Fruit she'd planted in hopes of getting a child. Of course, I posted above what happened on that ordeal.
Being such a nice day, I decided to have Daisy do some jogging around town. If she does it too much, she'll probably live longer in her elder stage.
She ended up by the two mansions where the Alto's and Landgraab's used to live. Of course, those names died out, but descendants still exist. Anyway, she found some seeds, and I cheated with Debug Enabler to see what they were. One was a Death Flower, which either Daisy or Lily has been wanting to grow.
Lastly, Daisy attended a party and saw her cousin Sheena there. They gave each other a hug, then had a bit of a chat.
***The very last update I have to post until I return from my playing hiatus.
Lauren worked on another one of her books. With her not needing much, she can turn out a book every day. I imagine she'll be making the big bucks in a short time.
Daisy chatted with her sprite for a little bit after waking up.
Mom and daughter had a chat afterwards, just until the plants needed tending to.
Things didn't work out when Lily went to harvest the Forbidden Fruit, so the Watcher was going to have to intervene soon.
Brandon has been continuing to work out during the times the band isn't playing. Since he's on a long lifespan due to being a fairy, he may eventually quit the band and get a job that requires athletics.
Brandon needed a shower after all that exercise, but even though he was sore, he loved "exercising" with Lily in the shower.
Forgot to get the picture when I gave the child to Lily and Brandon, but I used instant baby and it gave them a child based on their genetics and also makes them it's parents. The only thing I did was give him green skin and made it a fairy, as the child will not be a PlantSim. I have a lot of trouble coming up with names sometimes, so I just went with Jacob because Jacob Goth sounds decent.
Brandon got in trouble again for pranking his wife.
Lily got invited to a party. A toddler needed a few needs met, so Lily took care of him for a bit.
To finish the day, Lily had a chat with two of her younger sisters, Rose and Ivy. I guess Holly wasn't invited.
***With the birth of Jacob Goth, we are now at generation 7 of the save. I felt like this would be a great time to take a Sim break, but I can't stay away from the forums so this break is only from playing, not from reading and commenting.
Lauren has been pumping out as many books as I can get her to. However, it seems that she's not a very good author because all but one of her books has been a flop.
Lily had to take care of little Jacob when she woke up.
Brandon is still a few skill points away from maxing athletics. Once he does, he'll get his LTW finished and I can give him another one to try to complete.
Meanwhile, Daisy did some meditating to increase her martial arts skill. She ended up zeneporting upstairs to take a shower.
Lily has just completely taken over the gardening from Daisy now. I have a ton of cheese plants growing right now though so that Daisy can plant Omni Plants.
Lauren had a nice chat with Lily once Lily had finished the gardening.
I left Lauren at home to take care of Jacob. She sometimes has to switch a few trait chips around to fit in a RoboNanny, but I always keep certain ones in at all times. Since Lauren stayed, it meant the band was without their bass player, but I never seem to hear the bass when they all jam anyway so that's why I sometimes leave it out.
While the band played, one Sim decided to scare another. I have lost track of who some of the people are but there is a good possibility they are relatives to my family.
To finish off the day, I sent the three band members to the Bistro for supper. Lily sat alone while Daisy sat with Brandon.
Mom and Dad were still sleeping so Lauren had to take care of Jacob.
Daisy and Brandon had a chat in the front yard.
Lauren is trying to write at least one book in every genre. She decided to write a comic book called Krypton, an idea that was put into her head by her Watcher. Hopefully Superman catches on in the Sims world too, lol
It was so nice out today so Brandon decided to take a run. The only downside is that if he runs enough, it'll make him live even longer and he already will live long enough.
Lily forgot to plant more life fruit so she went to the market to see if they had any. She ended up getting enough to slow her aging down for another 20 days or so.
I learned from Llandros a few years ago that putting the harvest stands out can bring a lot of people to a lot so it gave Lily a lot of people to chat with.
This Sim kept stealing apples so I struck him with lightning. He didn't die at least, I only did it for punishment.
Lily played some chess alone.
Goth Family Update, Day 284
It was time for Jacob to become a toddler, so Lily took him to his cake.
I had to have Lauren get him to a potty pretty quickly. He also had to sleep right after eating as his needs were messed up from when he was still a baby.
Lastly, Daisy had a chat with someone on the phone.
***This day will be continued in later updates, most likely posted either Monday or Tuesday.
Lily and Daisy had a chat in an attempt to get one of their charisma skills up. I think it may have been for Lily, because I think she got her LTW on this day.
Brandon has to continue to work out until he gets level 10 athletics. This will get him to complete his second lifetime wish, and I'll give him a third to work on afterwards.
Lauren continues to pump out book after book in an attempt to make a ton of money.
Jacob got to use a high chair, something I never usually bother with when I play. I figured I need to start using one though, there are several objects I don't use.
I either bought this guitar for Lily, or she was given it as a gift. Either way, I like the sound of it.
Lily spent some time helping Jacob learn to walk.
Half the family sat and watched TV before bedtime. I think Lily was busy putting Jacob to bed, or still teaching him to walk.
Day 285
Lauren switched over to painting for a little bit.
Lily worked in the garden early that morning. All the money trees are in good shape, but I had her dispose of one to slowly get rid of them.
Brandon and Lily spent a little time together.
This time, Lauren helped teach Jacob.
Brandon decided he wanted to take up Martial Arts, so Daisy tutored him in the first skill point, then they sparred. When he got a bit better, he sparred with Lily.
Daisy went to a party at this lady's house. She chatted with the woman for a while.
Afterwards, she went for a quick dip in their pool, since it was a pool party.
Daisy talked to Rain for a while too. It's kind of funny, because Rain was once with Sam Sekemoto, making her related to Quinton Sekemoto, Daisy's father. She was then married to Daisy's uncle, Evan Langerak, and also Daisy's grandfather, Dwight Langerak. Once again, she is pregnant, she's had bunch of babies but I'll have to check the family tree to see how many.
Daisy also had a chat with her cousin, Carrie Naquin, daughter of Evan and Rain.
To close out the update, Daisy read a book before the family went to bed.
***Played one day last night after I got off work, but that was about all the time I had by the time I got other things done. I'll have a lot more time tonight so should get a few days played.
I'm trying to get Jacob on the family's sleep schedule, but he's not quite there yet. He spent the late night of 285 and early morning of 286 watching TV with Lauren.
Daisy needs to finish her charisma skill so I had her chat with Lily.
For some reason, one of them wanted to do a mind meld so I let them do it. All I remember is that Daisy gained some charisma from that.
Brandon chose to play the drums for a while as soon as he got up. I didn't bother him because I had other things I was doing at that time.
Lily worked in the garden, and when she finished, I had her use her PlantSim powers to keep growing the cheese plants and harvesting them until some of them finally died. Just trying to clear them out.
I've been having Lauren start to write a least one book in every genre, then will pick one that will become her specialty once she learns them all.
Brandon worked out most of the day but still didn't max his athletic skill.
Potty training and walking skills are done now, but Lily still needs to teach Jacob how to talk.
Lastly, Brandon decided to throw a party for all of his fairy relatives and friends.
Brandon continues to work out in an attempt to complete his LTW.
Daisy played chess with herself.
Daisy took over the gardening for a bit so she could continue the opportunities towards the Omni-Plant.
She also found out that one of her granddaughters had joined the military. Using MC to see what skills she had, there were none to help her out. Daisy spent some time helping her granddaughter level up athletics.
Goth Family, Day 288
Brandon and Lily woohooed early that morning.
Lily worked in the garden a bit today, even though Daisy is working on the opportunities.
Elizabeth came for a bit of a visit and she met Jacob for the first time.
Lily had a bit of a chat with her and also told her some juicy gossip.
Daisy tried to age up, but her birthday cake caught fire. Luckily, Brandon had the sense to put it out and no one died.
Daisy helped to take care of Jacob since his parents were busy.
Brandon continues to workout and is almost at level 10. When he hits that, he will complete another LTW.
Lily has been working in the garden as much as possible to ready it for the coming winter.
Lauren continues to work on writing at least one book in every genre. She's either at level 7 or 8.
When Lily completed her LTW, I decided to give her the One (Wo)Man Band one and had her start working on the piano skill. She's already a master at guitar so she only has three to go.
Jacob has found out he has wings now and he will sometimes float around the area he is in.
Day 290
Daisy and Brandon had a bit of a chat in the morning.
Brandon then went outside to pester the paparazzi by switching him into his sleepwear.
It was still pretty early when Lily went out to the garden.
Afterwards, Lily and Brandon chatted a bit in the kitchen.
And Daisy read a book. Otherwise, there wasn't a lot going on.
I didn't know what to have Daisy do when she woke up so I just decided to have her meditate.
Then, she got a notification that she wasn't friends with several Sims now and they also spread rumors about her. The only one I really cared about was Elizabeth's daughter, Jaimee. She summoned her to the house, then chatted with her a bit.
Afterwards, it came time for Jacob's age up party. It's a bit hard to tell who he favors at this point, but he has his fathers wing color, and his mother's skin and hair color.
The family and Jaimee all sat down to eat cake together. I didn't mess with changing Jacob's clothes, but I might do that when I play again. (Probably in about 30 minutes from now).
Lily is a couple levels away from reaching the top of the martial arts skill so I had chop some balsa wood.
Not too long after this picture was taken, Brandon reached level ten of the athletic skill and thus completed another LTW. I now gave him the one where you need to max martial arts and athletics. It shouldn't take him too long to accomplish this since he's already a master in athletics and is about halfway through the martial arts skill.
Lauren finished one book and I started her out on another. She still has a few more genre's to write in, and a few more skill points to gain. She has let her painting go for the time being, but does do one occasionally.
Daisy and Lily both started exercising but then Daisy wanted to chat with her sprite.
Lily and Brandon practiced martial arts together, but Lily has more skill points.
That night, Jacob got to sleep in a normal bed. However, Tommy Bunch came over from the family cemetery and decided to haunt the bed Jacob was sleeping in. Luckily, it didn't wake him up but it was so stupid.
Lily needed to get out of the house since she had the stir crazy moodlet, so I sent her over to collect honey and see what elixirs were for sell.
The garden is getting about empty, but the money trees are still going strong. I'm not planting any in the next town, though.
Brandon and Lily practiced martial arts again, and Brandon gained another skill level.
Lastly, a Spooky Day party was thrown but most of the guests stood on the porch. The party was still going on when I quit for the night.
Continuing from where I last left off, Jacob decided to play a game of chess with Elizabeth. I was going to have them marry each other when he reaches adulthood, but I may not do that now since I found someone else that might work.
When the party had ended, Brandon and Lily practiced martial arts while Jacob got something to eat.
Since it was Spooky Day, the neighborhood children came over for candy. Daisy was nice enough to give this child some.
Then, I needed to send Daisy to finish an opportunity. However, I caught her standing like this on her motorcycle as she had a slight glitch. She did sit down properly right after.
Daisy said hello to this woman, but I'm not sure who it is now.
She also chatted with this guy, who may be Leo Langerak. I'm not sure, but he is a Langerak at least.
Lily went back to playing the keyboard again as she works on her new LTW.
Lauren is still writing a book in every genre, and is almost finished.
Daisy needed to raise her fun meter, so I had her watch TV. She doesn't need it, but she's learning the cooking skill.
Jacob seems to always want to dress up as a prince so he was in those clothes when he sat down to eat a meal.
Lily worked in the garden for a bit in the morning but the garden will be going dormant soon.
It had been a bit since the band got together, so I had them play at the theater. I added the harvest stands because it seems they draw Sims to this lot. It really helped the band get tips because there were alot of Sims on the lot.
****Part 2 of this update will be posted very soon.
Jacob went to a classmates house after school so they got to know each other.
Meanwhile, I sent Brandon out to practice with the board breaker.
Lily practiced martial arts with Lauren.
While Jacob did his homework, Brandon ate some pancakes.
Daisy tried to pinch Jacob's cheek but he wasn't having any of it.
I mentioned earlier that I had found a girl for Jacob. This is the first time they met, and she is a distant relative to the family. Her name is Christa Goth.
Brandon and Lily had some shower fun, something they had neglected for a bit.
Brandon still won't quit with his pranks so Lily had to get mad at him yet again.
Someone had made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so everyone sat down to enjoy them together, even the young girl.
Now Daisy is seen getting mad at Brandon for something. He can't catch a break.
Christa is now a teenager. I've seen her as a young adult and she will be quite pretty, but I'll fix her up even better with hair and clothing. Then, Daisy got to know her some as well.
The first thing that happened during this play session was that Lily insulted her mother. With the thought bubble over her head, maybe she's telling her mother she has no brains, or maybe she thinks Daisy has dementia/Alzheimers.
Brandon and Lily spent some time together. I don't want them having a second child, so I never have them do Try For Baby.
Brandon then did some meditating because he had a wish to do so.
Before I sold Lauren, I was having her finish another book. The only bad thing about selling her is that I won't get her royalties now.
Lily watched the cooking channel for a bit to increase her skill level. Brandon and Jacob are the only ones who have to eat, so eventually, I will have Jacob learn to cook too.
Speaking of Jacob, he is still playing that he is a king. He has some funny traits, being a loner, unlucky, and excitable.
Lily went to the market I set up to see if there were some Life Fruits. She ended up finding enough to keep her a young adult until she and Brandon both age up on the same day, which is like 40 days from now. However, when she tried to change her enemy status with Toaster, it failed. They ended up fighting right in front of all these people.
I'm not sure why, but I had a spur of the moment decision to try to kill him with a meteor. However, it did not work out as planned. I will have someone collect the meteor later, and also will fix the lot.
So instead of killing him, Daisy lured him to the house and got him to move in. Then, I promptly sold him for $1,700. Afterwards, I made the decision to sell Lauren too. She fetched $7000, but the reason I sold her is that I'm not taking Plumbots with me to Moonlight Falls, and probably won't have any again until I get to Lunar Lakes in the future.
Someone made pancakes so Jacob would have something to eat.
Then he went to his first day of elementary school. It was also his only day at elementary school since it was wintertime. He was only able to go to school because I used cheats to make sure it wasn't a snow day by setting the temperature to 55 and getting rid of the snow. I set it back to normal after he got to school.
I'm kind of glad that I ended up selling Lauren, because soon after, Daisy got the opportunity to resurrect a Sim. She chose to take Harlan's grave with her and the scientists brought him back as a ghost. He will stay in the family as a ghost until Daisy passes away then they will both go to the afterlife together.
Once they got home, the reunited couple made out in the kitchen. Being dead for so long had made his fun meter to tank, so I had him and Daisy woohoo to quickly raise the meter.
For the first time, Jacob got to meet his grandfather. They seem to get along really well.
Harlan also made sure to tell Brandon how happy he was that Lily found a good guy. Even though they sometimes didn't get along, Harlan always thought of him as the son he never had.
Then it was time for Jacob to age up to teen. He didn't get to raise his grade up enough for me to pick his trait, so now he adds equestrian to his loner, unlucky, and excitable traits. He may use a potion to change them later, or I'll use mods if I decide to.
The family then sat down to eat birthday cake together.
Then Jacob invited Christa over for a chat. He announced to her that it was his birthday, while Daisy ignored someone on the phone.
This is when I found out that Jacob and Christa do like each other, so everything should work out just fine.
Lily played chess with herself, but she was apparently mad that she was beating herself, lol
Lastly, Jacob confessed his attraction to Christa and they became romantic interests. I'll have them go on a date soon, before they ever share a first kiss or become an official couple. For now, I haven't added her to the family tree as Jacob's partner, but she is on the tree due to being a distant relative of the family.
Lily wants to get to know Christa. She suspects that she will be her daughter-in-law soon.
The weather wasn't that great so I instead just had Jacob and Christa share their first kiss, and become boyfriend-girlfriend. They can go on a date a different time before young adulthood.
Brandon also wanted to get to know Christa. When he approached her, I was afraid he'd try to prank her like with everyone else, but he didn't.
Lily ate a few more Life Fruits when she woke up the following morning.
When they were both up, Brandon and Lily spent a bit of time together.
On the opposite side of the house, so did Daisy and Harlan.
Lily had a wish to practice martial arts with the dummy, so I had to set it up in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Harlan took Jacob to learn how to drive.
Brandon was going stir crazy, so I sent him to the park. He got a wish to snowboard, so that's what he did.
Everyone got together later to learn the cooking skill together. Jacob still didn't gain the first level though.
I decided to throw another Snowflake Day party. Carrie Naquin wanted Harlan's autograph as soon as she arrived.
Some of the guests included Rose Langerak, Holly Langerak, Rain Yu, and Elizabeth Radford. Daisy and Brandon were also on the far right of those guests.
Most of the guests did get presents, but a few did not.
Jacob Goth - Bicycle, roll of toilet paper.
Christa Goth (distant cousin, also girlfriend of Jacob) - 2 guitars
Lily Goth - Amphibi Clops or whatever it's called and a chess table.
Nicholaus Radford (soon to be husband of Elizabeth-Too-Many-Last-Names) - coal. He's also Sheri, Daisy's grandchilds, father.
Brandon Goth- Sleeping Gnome McNulty
Holly Langerak - Easel
Rain Yu - Coal
Daisy Goth - coal, chess table
Pierre Langerak (one of Daisy's son-in-laws) - chess table
Gregory Langerak (another SIL) - umbrella
Sheri was the next one to want an autograph, so Brandon obliged.
Harlan got to know Elizabeth a bit. I can't remember if they knew each other prior to this or not.
Lastly, the family sat down to eat supper together.
DAY 300 IS FINALLY HERE!!! Will probably play that tomorrow, but it's not going to be anything special other than we hit 300 days.
Jacob got hungry in the morning so he ate some leftover birthday cake.
Lily sat on the couch to watch the cooking channel with her father.
Brandon chatted with Jacob to get to know his son better.
Lily had a wish to train Elizabeth in athletics, so I had her use her summoning to bring her to the gym.
Brandon had a wish to redeem some of his festival tokens. He ended up buying two of the snowy bears.
Then he joined in a snowball fight with some other festivalgoers.
The rest of the family met up with him and everyone skated.
A victim of the recent meteor wanted to skate with Jacob so he let her but then left shortly after.
Since Jacob was hungry, I sent the whole family to the Bistro for supper.
Daisy went to a party later that night, but since it was a smaller house, there weren't too many guests. Daisy spent most of the night talking to her uncle, Tyler Langerak. He is the son of Dwight Langerak and Rain Forest-Sekemoto-Langerak-Yu.
The other Sims who know martial arts weren't ready yet, so Brandon did some meditating to try to raise the skill.
When Lily was ready, she and Brandon sparred. He lost this round, but I'm not sure who the overall winner was.
Harlan and Daisy shared one last kiss before Harlan went back to the Netherworld. Daisy won't have to wait too much longer to see him again, though, she only has a couple days left on her lifespan.
Lily and Brandon sparred a few more times while Harlan kissed Daisy and left. Lily ended up reaching level 9, the same as where Daisy is.
***14 more screenshots will be posted a bit later, I need to get out of my chair for a while.
After their sparring session, Lily really needed a shower so Brandon joined her as he kind of needed one as well, just not as bad.
Jacob asked Christa to come over for a while, and thankfully she agreed. When no one was looking, they shared a kiss.
Brandon was up to his old tricks again, pranking Lily.
Jacob tried to ask Christa on a date, but she refused because she couldn't stay. I think she either had to work, or it may have been because their prom was later that day. Instead, they had pillow fight until it was time for Christa to leave.
Jacob decided to introduce himself to Christa's mother, Mercedes Goth. Mercedes is a distant relative to my family, but Christa and Jacob aren't that closely related, making the relationship alright.
No one was paying attention to Christa's sister, Belinda, so Jacob changed her diaper and fed her for Mercedes.
However, it soon became time for the prom so Jacob headed over to the school and he and Christa had an amazing night.
The following morning, once everyone was ready, the whole family got together for a jam session. Since Lily is trying to learn all instruments, she took over for keyboard, and Daisy used Lily's guitar. Daisy already had some guitar skill, so she wasn't at 0 like Jacob was. Jacob just kind of played along quietly in the background until he learned the first level of the skill.
After a while, it was time for Jacob to go take some skill classes in athletics, cooking, and charisma. Daisy grabbed the mail around the same time, and the jam session slowly broke up.
Both Lily and Daisy were at level 9 of the martial arts skill, so I had them spar several times just because I love watching high level martial artists spar.
Afterwards, Brandon turned on one of his aura's that affect athletics and logic so he could tutor her in logic.
Later, Jacob made his first meal, autumn salad. The whole family joined together to eat.
***That'll be it until Monday. I have to work both Saturday and Sunday, but I might play Sunday after work and share the updates on Monday (May 23rd, 2022)
I gave Jacob a makeover finally. I played it as he had the old hairstyle as a young teenager, then took on a more mature look about halfway through.
When everyone had woken up, the whole family ate breakfast together.
Since spring had come, Lily had to start working in the garden again. There are only six or seven money trees, a few cheese plants, and a Life Fruit plant.
After Jacob got the mail, he ended up playing guitar in the front yard, in his pajamas.
Lily and Daisy sparred outside after Lily had finished gardening.
To get cleaned up after sparring, Lily and Brandon shared a shower.
Daisy went to the theater so she could get a jam session going. She picked up the meteors I dropped on the lot.
The jam session went well, but no one really made that much, and no one got a promotion either.
Brandon saw his grandmother, Rain, so he stopped to chat with her a bit.
Lily saw Holly, so she spent some time chatting with her sister.
Jacob had to do his homework, as I want to be able to pick his trait.
Then Lily and Daisy had another sparring session, and Brandon had his aura going to help them out.
Daisy finally completed her wish to learn martial arts to the highest level. Lily did too, but she seems more proud of her mother than she does herself.
With her skill maxed, Lily was the perfect teacher to help Brandon reach his third or fourth LTW. He still has a bit to go, but has roughly 30 more Sim days before he even becomes an adult.
However, he did gain another level.
***There are more updates to come. I wasn't feeling the best this morning so I ended up calling in sick. I felt better by early afternoon, so I decided to play for a while.
Brandon has already maxed the logic skill, so he helped Lily to finish learning the skill.
Here is a random photo I forgot was on the wall. It is John Langerak, Quinton (Sekemoto) Langerak, Ariana Langerak, and Daisy when she was either a teenager, or young adult.
Jacob watched the cooking channel. I don't know if he'll end up doing a career where he needs it, but it'll still help him in his home life.
Daisy had a wish to hug Christa, so she summoned her to the house, chatted with her, then gave her a hug.
Afterwards, Jacob took Christa on a date at the Bistro.
Front view of Christa.
Before the end of the date, Jacob gave Christa a kiss, then drove her to his house. Christa ran home from there as she doesn't live very far at all.
The following day, Jacob had a field trip to the diner or bistro. He went to school like he was supposed to, and he went on the field trip. However, when he got home, Lily scolded him for missing work, telling him he was in trouble.
Jacob wasn't very happy about it, but he took his time out like he was supposed to. I went off to do something else with one of the others, and Jacob must have left his time out because the next thing I knew, she was yelling at him again and took away his TV privileges. In an act of defiance, Jacob watched TV anyway. This made Lily mad yet again, and she yelled at him again.
Jacob finally had enough, and he yelled at his mother. The autonomy of scolding Jacob all those times caused them to not even be friends.
Jacob ran off down the road, then randomly picked a place to throw eggs at. When the owner came out, Jacob ran as fast as he could.
He ended up at the spring festival. I had him buy nachos, but a fan wanted his autograph before he could eat, and it made the nachos disappear. He bought another serving, but that one disappeared too. Luckily, another Sim brought a picnic so Jacob ate with that Sim.
Daisy decided on her own that she wanted to play chess, so I just let her do it.
Jacob decided he'd had enough of being a deviant, so he begged Lily for forgiveness. She accepted, and he alternated between complimenting her cleverness and enthusing about athletics to bring their relationship all the way back to best friends.
***Probably have enough for one more long update, will post that soon.
At a party, Daisy chatted with Rain Yu. Rain has been in the save for a long time now, and is just now about to age into an elder.
She also chatted with Sheena Langerak. Sheena needed a shower, but I somehow lost the moodlet manager, so I used MC to get rid of the moodlet, causing the game to think she took a shower.
Before she left, she also chatted with the one who invited her to the party. I think his name is Jamal Tolliver, but I might be wrong. Doesn't matter though, he's not important.
When she got home, she didn't even make it into the house before she died.
Only one family member was going to quit what they were doing to see Daisy go, but I made them all come out to say their goodbyes.
Brandon did some meditation to calm himself after Daisy's death. It also helped him out with his martial arts.
The meditation brought him to level 9 or a black belt in martial arts.
Lily started to teach Jacob how to play chess.
But then, Jacob met up with Christa and they shared some time together.
Knowing they were both about to be young adults, Jacob asked Christa if she'd be his wife, although not until they graduated. Christa said yes, so now they are on track for a wedding soon.
Lily went to a party, and she chatted with a distant relative named Kizzie Langerak.
Jacob ordered a pizza, but he was the only one who had some, other than Christa who was still there.
Lily chatted with Elizabeth about Daisy's death, and she ended up crying on her shoulder. Elizabeth lost her best friend as well, so I'm going to make Elizabeth and Lily be friends as well. They already are friends, but I'll be inviting her over some to hang out.
Lily also had to hand out an autograph to a fan, who I believe is also a distant relative. I'm pretty sure he is Dwight's son. If anyone remembers, I let Dwight move out when Melanie die and he had another wife and more kids.
Then, only he and Jacob were awake at that time to eat them.
Lily continues to learn the piano in an attempt to learn all four musical instruments to level 10.
Then Brandon chatted with Jacob to raise his martial arts skill to 1. For some reason, it gave Jacob a black belt when it should be white.
However, once he got another point, he had the right colors for his skill level.
Lily went out to the garden to take care of the few plants that are left.
Even though they are both not quite adults yet, Jacob talked with Christa about their upcoming wedding. Christa wished she could just move in with the family now, and was pleasantly surprised when Jacob seemed to read her thoughts and he asked her. She said yes, and I now have control over her. I made her quit her part time job so she can be available for skill building until they can marry.
Then they shared a kiss.
Lily threw her a birthday party and invited her family over.
Here is a picture of Christa as a young adult.
Then the family sat down together to eat cake. Christa is noticeably missing, and it is because I had dragged her hunger bar down so she'd need to eat. Unfortunately, I pulled it too far and she died. I ended up cheating her back to life because I didn't want to have to reload the save. Right after this picture, and before bringing her back, the family quit eating to be upset about her "death".
Lily chatted with this Sim, who wasn't invited. I'm not sure who she is.
Lastly, Christa chatted with her mother, Mercedes Goth, until it was time for her to leave the party.
***I did not play any more after Tuesday night since I had other things to do. I probably will not be able to play again until either Sunday after work, or sometime next week.
Apparently there was a plate that didn't get cleaned up from Christa's birthday party so Lily spent the early morning hours washing that plate, and a few other early morning chores.
Christa is another athletic Sim so she always wants to exercise. I was busy with the other members of the household when she started and she got stinky soon, but she did gain her first skill point.
Jacob ate some breakfast while Lily read a book.
Other than the money trees, there are only three other plants in the garden. One of those died, so it is just a life fruit plant, a cheese plant, and the trees now.
After eating breakfast, Jacob got his homework done.
When Lily went to throw the plant away, I found out that some animal got into the trash so she had to pick all that up too.
Lily finished all the cleaning up, then Brandon put on one of his aura's so he'd gain the martial arts skill faster. Lily did every thing she could to help him, and they sparred three times but he still didn't quite get to the top. For a little bit, Jacob watched them spar and I didn't even know the option was there but I do now.
In between one of the sparring sessions, Jacob went upstairs to paint as I saw it in his queue, put then he stopped painting right after starting so he could play guitar instead.
Jacob then chatted with his fiancé, and he must have been telling her about the garbage Lily had to pick up.
Brandon and Lily went to their shower after sparring.
Once they were done having their fun, Brandon got a wish to meditate for 10 hours so I let him start it.
I sent the rest of the family to the theater so Lily could try and get some tips to get a promotion. However, Troy Langerak (son of Rain and Dwight) chose that particular moment to die, so I let Lily, Christa, and Jacob mourn his death since he is a family member.
The little girl by Lily turned out to be a werewolf, and Troy's death caused her to transform. This scared both Lily and Christa and they passed out at the same time.
The Grim Reaper hung around for a while and showed a video to Carrie.
When Christa got up from fainting, she ended up peeing all over. She was hungry too, which put her in a bad mood. I sent Stinky to the Bistro with Jacob so she could get something to eat, and I used cheats to rid her of her stench.
Lily played for all these Sims for a couple hours, and she made around $250 by the time she left. Even this deer wanted to listen.
Continuing where we left off, Brandon finally finished meditating for 10 hours, and this made him finish out the martial arts skill.
Jacob and Christa ate their breakfast together.
Lily worked in the garden when she got up.
Yet again, Lily had to clean up the garbage because the racoons can't stay out of it.
Christa wants to go into the music career, so I probably will just let her do that. She played guitar for now and might also fill in every once in while for Lily's band.
Lily decided she wanted to exercise, just because she can.
Random picture of Jacob I took, heading off to one of his last days of school.
Christa filled in to play guitar for the band this time. She wasn't able to play well at the beginning, but got some better by the time they left.
Lily and Brandon joined a hot dog eating contest but Aaron Langerak was the one who happened to win.
Brandon, Lily, and Jacob all sat down together to watch the cooking channel before bed.
Comments
When the party from the previous update ended, I had all the band members get together, minus Elizabeth. I keep forgetting she's actually part of the group. Lauren joined in with the bass on this jam session.
Daisy went outside to chat with a random guy in the backyard. He was a zombie so she cured him of that first.
John Langerak had died recently, so Lauren went to chat with him at the family cemetery.
Winter had ended recently and it was time to work in the garden again. Lily also decided to plant her and Brandon's baby.
Brandon is still working on maxing his logic skill for his LTW.
Lily went to the alchemy store again to look for elixirs, just to see what was in stock.
The whole family went to the park so the band could play. However, I realized Daisy needed water so I had to have her photosynthesize to raise it up just a bit.
After they got tired of playing, I had to send Lily to dance for three hours. She was really getting into it.
When she had finished, I had her play her guitar for a bit. She didn't make a lot, but a few Sims took her picture.
When Lily left, I caught this Sim dancing on the bar.
Lily and Daisy had an early morning chat before Daisy gave her some lessons on martial arts. On the first sparring session, Lily was wearing the beginners outfit, but by the time of this picture, she had leveled up a few times.
Is it just me, or does Brandon look like he's waiting for an invisible person to make their move first?
The band then had another jam session at the park for money. I don't think they made much, it seemed everyone wanted to ignore their playing.
Some of the townsfolk wanted to keep bugging my Sims while they were playing, so I just gave in and let them give autographs to their "fans".
I didn't know bands got opportunities to watch other bands in the theater, but apparently they do. While all the band members were there, this Sim passed away. I can't recall if she's a randomly generated Sim, or if she is a distant relative to my families.
Lily got a wish to use the board breaker so I let her start off with the foam boards, then she moved to balsa wood.
Brandon loved seeing Lily being all tough so he had to give her a kiss, which ended up leading to the bedroom.
Daisy then had a chat with Lily to close out the night, and these three updates.
***Next time I play, we should get the first baby of generation 7, who probably will be the only baby from Brandon and Lily. However, generation 7 already exists with Sheri, and the other two grandbabies of Daisy whom I showed in previous updates.
***Last set of updates for the month of March. Probably will be taking a break from the Sims for several days, but will still be posting replies and comments, as well as handing out likes and awesomes. Now onto the first part of the update.
The band, minus Elizabeth, got together to practice for another performance in the park. I haven't yet, but I believe I'll kick Elizabeth out and put Lauren in. The band will only last until all the members pass away, as I'll probably be giving Lily's descendants regular jobs.
As you all know, I've been having Daisy and Lily practice martial arts. I hope to get them both to level 10 in the skill for no reason. I know Lily will get it because she's using life fruit to stay young, but Daisy is less than two weeks from becoming an elder.
At this point of playing, Brandon wasn't quite at the point where he maxed logic. Lauren played against him this time.
Later on during yesterday's play session, probably after Brandon hit level 10 in logic, I decided athletics will be his final skill for his lifetime wish.
Daisy went to the park and she started chatting with this random Sim. It turns out he is the university mascot, albeit not in costume, so they did the school cheer together.
Daisy has also been working on maxing out her piano skill so that she'll be able to play her best with the band.
The video game console has been getting a lot of use by everyone. This time, it was Brandon's turn to play.
Carly Langerak had passed away not too long after Daisy's brother John (and Carly's husband) passed away. I don't remember if Carly and John had any children or not, but I will look later.
Brandon and Lily have been enjoying each other's company. Brandon still pulls his silly pranks, but Lily still loves him, even if she does yell at him most of the time he pranks her.
The band got together at the park to play. This time, I remembered to invite Elizabeth Kemp, but she only played with them a little bit before she left. The band got some nice tips, and Daisy got enough to get a promotion. Only she and Lily are at level 2 of the band career at this point.
Like some of the previous times, townies want to keep interrupting the band members for autographs. By this point, I usually just have them be done playing and let the other band members continue playing.
I didn't want to send everyone home just yet, and decided to let them skate for awhile. Daisy is the best skater, and is able to do spins and skate backwards.
Lauren continues to learn the painting skill, but it doesn't do much for the family funds.
A random picture of the Goth home. I had previously changed the siding, and remodeled the kitchen but not too much else.
***These were from the last time I played, I just didn't post them on the day I said I was.
Goth Family, Days 277 through 280, Part
To start out the day, Daisy decided to teach meditation techniques to Lily.
Meditation was enough for Lily to move on to the next level of martial arts.
Because of this, I decided to have her spar with Daisy. I believe Daisy is just a bit higher in the skill, but I'm not sure now.
Brandon played video games online with other people this time. Usually, they just play on there own.
Lauren started working on her first book. It was a nonfictional book about life as a Plumbot. (Or it could have been her second book about Dwight's career in sports after he quit being a super spy).
Brandon and Lily are as romantic as ever. Realistically, Daisy should probably be dead, and Lily should be close to an elder by now. Daisy's lifespan was doubled by a genie, while Lily eats life fruit all the time to stay young for Brandon.
Lily worked in the garden and took care of the Forbidden Fruit she'd planted in hopes of getting a child. Of course, I posted above what happened on that ordeal.
Being such a nice day, I decided to have Daisy do some jogging around town. If she does it too much, she'll probably live longer in her elder stage.
She ended up by the two mansions where the Alto's and Landgraab's used to live. Of course, those names died out, but descendants still exist. Anyway, she found some seeds, and I cheated with Debug Enabler to see what they were. One was a Death Flower, which either Daisy or Lily has been wanting to grow.
Lastly, Daisy attended a party and saw her cousin Sheena there. They gave each other a hug, then had a bit of a chat.
***The very last update I have to post until I return from my playing hiatus.
Lauren worked on another one of her books. With her not needing much, she can turn out a book every day. I imagine she'll be making the big bucks in a short time.
Daisy chatted with her sprite for a little bit after waking up.
Mom and daughter had a chat afterwards, just until the plants needed tending to.
Things didn't work out when Lily went to harvest the Forbidden Fruit, so the Watcher was going to have to intervene soon.
Brandon has been continuing to work out during the times the band isn't playing. Since he's on a long lifespan due to being a fairy, he may eventually quit the band and get a job that requires athletics.
Brandon needed a shower after all that exercise, but even though he was sore, he loved "exercising" with Lily in the shower.
Forgot to get the picture when I gave the child to Lily and Brandon, but I used instant baby and it gave them a child based on their genetics and also makes them it's parents. The only thing I did was give him green skin and made it a fairy, as the child will not be a PlantSim. I have a lot of trouble coming up with names sometimes, so I just went with Jacob because Jacob Goth sounds decent.
Brandon got in trouble again for pranking his wife.
Lily got invited to a party. A toddler needed a few needs met, so Lily took care of him for a bit.
To finish the day, Lily had a chat with two of her younger sisters, Rose and Ivy. I guess Holly wasn't invited.
***With the birth of Jacob Goth, we are now at generation 7 of the save. I felt like this would be a great time to take a Sim break, but I can't stay away from the forums so this break is only from playing, not from reading and commenting.
Lauren has been pumping out as many books as I can get her to. However, it seems that she's not a very good author because all but one of her books has been a flop.
Lily had to take care of little Jacob when she woke up.
Brandon is still a few skill points away from maxing athletics. Once he does, he'll get his LTW finished and I can give him another one to try to complete.
Meanwhile, Daisy did some meditating to increase her martial arts skill. She ended up zeneporting upstairs to take a shower.
Lily has just completely taken over the gardening from Daisy now. I have a ton of cheese plants growing right now though so that Daisy can plant Omni Plants.
Lauren had a nice chat with Lily once Lily had finished the gardening.
I left Lauren at home to take care of Jacob. She sometimes has to switch a few trait chips around to fit in a RoboNanny, but I always keep certain ones in at all times. Since Lauren stayed, it meant the band was without their bass player, but I never seem to hear the bass when they all jam anyway so that's why I sometimes leave it out.
While the band played, one Sim decided to scare another. I have lost track of who some of the people are but there is a good possibility they are relatives to my family.
To finish off the day, I sent the three band members to the Bistro for supper. Lily sat alone while Daisy sat with Brandon.
Mom and Dad were still sleeping so Lauren had to take care of Jacob.
Daisy and Brandon had a chat in the front yard.
Lauren is trying to write at least one book in every genre. She decided to write a comic book called Krypton, an idea that was put into her head by her Watcher. Hopefully Superman catches on in the Sims world too, lol
It was so nice out today so Brandon decided to take a run. The only downside is that if he runs enough, it'll make him live even longer and he already will live long enough.
Lily forgot to plant more life fruit so she went to the market to see if they had any. She ended up getting enough to slow her aging down for another 20 days or so.
I learned from Llandros a few years ago that putting the harvest stands out can bring a lot of people to a lot so it gave Lily a lot of people to chat with.
This Sim kept stealing apples so I struck him with lightning. He didn't die at least, I only did it for punishment.
Lily played some chess alone.
Goth Family Update, Day 284
It was time for Jacob to become a toddler, so Lily took him to his cake.
I had to have Lauren get him to a potty pretty quickly. He also had to sleep right after eating as his needs were messed up from when he was still a baby.
Lastly, Daisy had a chat with someone on the phone.
***This day will be continued in later updates, most likely posted either Monday or Tuesday.
Lily and Daisy had a chat in an attempt to get one of their charisma skills up. I think it may have been for Lily, because I think she got her LTW on this day.
Brandon has to continue to work out until he gets level 10 athletics. This will get him to complete his second lifetime wish, and I'll give him a third to work on afterwards.
Lauren continues to pump out book after book in an attempt to make a ton of money.
Jacob got to use a high chair, something I never usually bother with when I play. I figured I need to start using one though, there are several objects I don't use.
I either bought this guitar for Lily, or she was given it as a gift. Either way, I like the sound of it.
Lily spent some time helping Jacob learn to walk.
Half the family sat and watched TV before bedtime. I think Lily was busy putting Jacob to bed, or still teaching him to walk.
Day 285
Lauren switched over to painting for a little bit.
Lily worked in the garden early that morning. All the money trees are in good shape, but I had her dispose of one to slowly get rid of them.
Brandon and Lily spent a little time together.
This time, Lauren helped teach Jacob.
Brandon decided he wanted to take up Martial Arts, so Daisy tutored him in the first skill point, then they sparred. When he got a bit better, he sparred with Lily.
Daisy went to a party at this lady's house. She chatted with the woman for a while.
Afterwards, she went for a quick dip in their pool, since it was a pool party.
Daisy talked to Rain for a while too. It's kind of funny, because Rain was once with Sam Sekemoto, making her related to Quinton Sekemoto, Daisy's father. She was then married to Daisy's uncle, Evan Langerak, and also Daisy's grandfather, Dwight Langerak. Once again, she is pregnant, she's had bunch of babies but I'll have to check the family tree to see how many.
Daisy also had a chat with her cousin, Carrie Naquin, daughter of Evan and Rain.
To close out the update, Daisy read a book before the family went to bed.
***Played one day last night after I got off work, but that was about all the time I had by the time I got other things done. I'll have a lot more time tonight so should get a few days played.
I'm trying to get Jacob on the family's sleep schedule, but he's not quite there yet. He spent the late night of 285 and early morning of 286 watching TV with Lauren.
Daisy needs to finish her charisma skill so I had her chat with Lily.
For some reason, one of them wanted to do a mind meld so I let them do it. All I remember is that Daisy gained some charisma from that.
Brandon chose to play the drums for a while as soon as he got up. I didn't bother him because I had other things I was doing at that time.
Lily worked in the garden, and when she finished, I had her use her PlantSim powers to keep growing the cheese plants and harvesting them until some of them finally died. Just trying to clear them out.
I've been having Lauren start to write a least one book in every genre, then will pick one that will become her specialty once she learns them all.
Brandon worked out most of the day but still didn't max his athletic skill.
Potty training and walking skills are done now, but Lily still needs to teach Jacob how to talk.
Lastly, Brandon decided to throw a party for all of his fairy relatives and friends.
Lauren worked on another book.
Lily did some early morning meditation.
Brandon continues to work out in an attempt to complete his LTW.
Daisy played chess with herself.
Daisy took over the gardening for a bit so she could continue the opportunities towards the Omni-Plant.
She also found out that one of her granddaughters had joined the military. Using MC to see what skills she had, there were none to help her out. Daisy spent some time helping her granddaughter level up athletics.
Goth Family, Day 288
Brandon and Lily woohooed early that morning.
Lily worked in the garden a bit today, even though Daisy is working on the opportunities.
Elizabeth came for a bit of a visit and she met Jacob for the first time.
Lily had a bit of a chat with her and also told her some juicy gossip.
Daisy tried to age up, but her birthday cake caught fire. Luckily, Brandon had the sense to put it out and no one died.
Goth Family, Day 289 (part 1)
Daisy helped to take care of Jacob since his parents were busy.
Brandon continues to workout and is almost at level 10. When he hits that, he will complete another LTW.
Lily has been working in the garden as much as possible to ready it for the coming winter.
Lauren continues to work on writing at least one book in every genre. She's either at level 7 or 8.
When Lily completed her LTW, I decided to give her the One (Wo)Man Band one and had her start working on the piano skill. She's already a master at guitar so she only has three to go.
Jacob has found out he has wings now and he will sometimes float around the area he is in.
Day 290
Daisy and Brandon had a bit of a chat in the morning.
Brandon then went outside to pester the paparazzi by switching him into his sleepwear.
It was still pretty early when Lily went out to the garden.
Afterwards, Lily and Brandon chatted a bit in the kitchen.
And Daisy read a book. Otherwise, there wasn't a lot going on.
I didn't know what to have Daisy do when she woke up so I just decided to have her meditate.
Then, she got a notification that she wasn't friends with several Sims now and they also spread rumors about her. The only one I really cared about was Elizabeth's daughter, Jaimee. She summoned her to the house, then chatted with her a bit.
Afterwards, it came time for Jacob's age up party. It's a bit hard to tell who he favors at this point, but he has his fathers wing color, and his mother's skin and hair color.
The family and Jaimee all sat down to eat cake together. I didn't mess with changing Jacob's clothes, but I might do that when I play again. (Probably in about 30 minutes from now).
Lily is a couple levels away from reaching the top of the martial arts skill so I had chop some balsa wood.
Not too long after this picture was taken, Brandon reached level ten of the athletic skill and thus completed another LTW. I now gave him the one where you need to max martial arts and athletics. It shouldn't take him too long to accomplish this since he's already a master in athletics and is about halfway through the martial arts skill.
Lauren finished one book and I started her out on another. She still has a few more genre's to write in, and a few more skill points to gain. She has let her painting go for the time being, but does do one occasionally.
Daisy and Lily both started exercising but then Daisy wanted to chat with her sprite.
Lily and Brandon practiced martial arts together, but Lily has more skill points.
That night, Jacob got to sleep in a normal bed. However, Tommy Bunch came over from the family cemetery and decided to haunt the bed Jacob was sleeping in. Luckily, it didn't wake him up but it was so stupid.
Lily needed to get out of the house since she had the stir crazy moodlet, so I sent her over to collect honey and see what elixirs were for sell.
The garden is getting about empty, but the money trees are still going strong. I'm not planting any in the next town, though.
Brandon and Lily practiced martial arts again, and Brandon gained another skill level.
Lastly, a Spooky Day party was thrown but most of the guests stood on the porch. The party was still going on when I quit for the night.
Continuing from where I last left off, Jacob decided to play a game of chess with Elizabeth. I was going to have them marry each other when he reaches adulthood, but I may not do that now since I found someone else that might work.
When the party had ended, Brandon and Lily practiced martial arts while Jacob got something to eat.
Since it was Spooky Day, the neighborhood children came over for candy. Daisy was nice enough to give this child some.
Then, I needed to send Daisy to finish an opportunity. However, I caught her standing like this on her motorcycle as she had a slight glitch. She did sit down properly right after.
Daisy said hello to this woman, but I'm not sure who it is now.
She also chatted with this guy, who may be Leo Langerak. I'm not sure, but he is a Langerak at least.
Lily went back to playing the keyboard again as she works on her new LTW.
Lauren is still writing a book in every genre, and is almost finished.
Daisy needed to raise her fun meter, so I had her watch TV. She doesn't need it, but she's learning the cooking skill.
Jacob seems to always want to dress up as a prince so he was in those clothes when he sat down to eat a meal.
Lily worked in the garden for a bit in the morning but the garden will be going dormant soon.
It had been a bit since the band got together, so I had them play at the theater. I added the harvest stands because it seems they draw Sims to this lot. It really helped the band get tips because there were alot of Sims on the lot.
****Part 2 of this update will be posted very soon.
Jacob went to a classmates house after school so they got to know each other.
Meanwhile, I sent Brandon out to practice with the board breaker.
Lily practiced martial arts with Lauren.
While Jacob did his homework, Brandon ate some pancakes.
Daisy tried to pinch Jacob's cheek but he wasn't having any of it.
I mentioned earlier that I had found a girl for Jacob. This is the first time they met, and she is a distant relative to the family. Her name is Christa Goth.
Brandon and Lily had some shower fun, something they had neglected for a bit.
Brandon still won't quit with his pranks so Lily had to get mad at him yet again.
Someone had made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so everyone sat down to enjoy them together, even the young girl.
Now Daisy is seen getting mad at Brandon for something. He can't catch a break.
Christa is now a teenager. I've seen her as a young adult and she will be quite pretty, but I'll fix her up even better with hair and clothing. Then, Daisy got to know her some as well.
The first thing that happened during this play session was that Lily insulted her mother. With the thought bubble over her head, maybe she's telling her mother she has no brains, or maybe she thinks Daisy has dementia/Alzheimers.
Brandon and Lily spent some time together. I don't want them having a second child, so I never have them do Try For Baby.
Brandon then did some meditating because he had a wish to do so.
Before I sold Lauren, I was having her finish another book. The only bad thing about selling her is that I won't get her royalties now.
Lily watched the cooking channel for a bit to increase her skill level. Brandon and Jacob are the only ones who have to eat, so eventually, I will have Jacob learn to cook too.
Speaking of Jacob, he is still playing that he is a king. He has some funny traits, being a loner, unlucky, and excitable.
Lily went to the market I set up to see if there were some Life Fruits. She ended up finding enough to keep her a young adult until she and Brandon both age up on the same day, which is like 40 days from now. However, when she tried to change her enemy status with Toaster, it failed. They ended up fighting right in front of all these people.
I'm not sure why, but I had a spur of the moment decision to try to kill him with a meteor. However, it did not work out as planned. I will have someone collect the meteor later, and also will fix the lot.
So instead of killing him, Daisy lured him to the house and got him to move in. Then, I promptly sold him for $1,700. Afterwards, I made the decision to sell Lauren too. She fetched $7000, but the reason I sold her is that I'm not taking Plumbots with me to Moonlight Falls, and probably won't have any again until I get to Lunar Lakes in the future.
Someone made pancakes so Jacob would have something to eat.
Then he went to his first day of elementary school. It was also his only day at elementary school since it was wintertime. He was only able to go to school because I used cheats to make sure it wasn't a snow day by setting the temperature to 55 and getting rid of the snow. I set it back to normal after he got to school.
***Part 2 coming up.
I'm kind of glad that I ended up selling Lauren, because soon after, Daisy got the opportunity to resurrect a Sim. She chose to take Harlan's grave with her and the scientists brought him back as a ghost. He will stay in the family as a ghost until Daisy passes away then they will both go to the afterlife together.
Once they got home, the reunited couple made out in the kitchen. Being dead for so long had made his fun meter to tank, so I had him and Daisy woohoo to quickly raise the meter.
For the first time, Jacob got to meet his grandfather. They seem to get along really well.
Harlan also made sure to tell Brandon how happy he was that Lily found a good guy. Even though they sometimes didn't get along, Harlan always thought of him as the son he never had.
Then it was time for Jacob to age up to teen. He didn't get to raise his grade up enough for me to pick his trait, so now he adds equestrian to his loner, unlucky, and excitable traits. He may use a potion to change them later, or I'll use mods if I decide to.
The family then sat down to eat birthday cake together.
Then Jacob invited Christa over for a chat. He announced to her that it was his birthday, while Daisy ignored someone on the phone.
This is when I found out that Jacob and Christa do like each other, so everything should work out just fine.
Lily played chess with herself, but she was apparently mad that she was beating herself, lol
Lastly, Jacob confessed his attraction to Christa and they became romantic interests. I'll have them go on a date soon, before they ever share a first kiss or become an official couple. For now, I haven't added her to the family tree as Jacob's partner, but she is on the tree due to being a distant relative of the family.
Lily wants to get to know Christa. She suspects that she will be her daughter-in-law soon.
The weather wasn't that great so I instead just had Jacob and Christa share their first kiss, and become boyfriend-girlfriend. They can go on a date a different time before young adulthood.
Brandon also wanted to get to know Christa. When he approached her, I was afraid he'd try to prank her like with everyone else, but he didn't.
Lily ate a few more Life Fruits when she woke up the following morning.
When they were both up, Brandon and Lily spent a bit of time together.
On the opposite side of the house, so did Daisy and Harlan.
Lily had a wish to practice martial arts with the dummy, so I had to set it up in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Harlan took Jacob to learn how to drive.
Brandon was going stir crazy, so I sent him to the park. He got a wish to snowboard, so that's what he did.
Everyone got together later to learn the cooking skill together. Jacob still didn't gain the first level though.
I decided to throw another Snowflake Day party. Carrie Naquin wanted Harlan's autograph as soon as she arrived.
Some of the guests included Rose Langerak, Holly Langerak, Rain Yu, and Elizabeth Radford. Daisy and Brandon were also on the far right of those guests.
Most of the guests did get presents, but a few did not.
Jacob Goth - Bicycle, roll of toilet paper.
Christa Goth (distant cousin, also girlfriend of Jacob) - 2 guitars
Lily Goth - Amphibi Clops or whatever it's called and a chess table.
Nicholaus Radford (soon to be husband of Elizabeth-Too-Many-Last-Names) - coal. He's also Sheri, Daisy's grandchilds, father.
Brandon Goth- Sleeping Gnome McNulty
Holly Langerak - Easel
Rain Yu - Coal
Daisy Goth - coal, chess table
Pierre Langerak (one of Daisy's son-in-laws) - chess table
Gregory Langerak (another SIL) - umbrella
Sheri was the next one to want an autograph, so Brandon obliged.
Harlan got to know Elizabeth a bit. I can't remember if they knew each other prior to this or not.
Lastly, the family sat down to eat supper together.
DAY 300 IS FINALLY HERE!!! Will probably play that tomorrow, but it's not going to be anything special other than we hit 300 days.
Jacob got hungry in the morning so he ate some leftover birthday cake.
Lily sat on the couch to watch the cooking channel with her father.
Brandon chatted with Jacob to get to know his son better.
Lily had a wish to train Elizabeth in athletics, so I had her use her summoning to bring her to the gym.
Brandon had a wish to redeem some of his festival tokens. He ended up buying two of the snowy bears.
Then he joined in a snowball fight with some other festivalgoers.
The rest of the family met up with him and everyone skated.
A victim of the recent meteor wanted to skate with Jacob so he let her but then left shortly after.
Since Jacob was hungry, I sent the whole family to the Bistro for supper.
Daisy went to a party later that night, but since it was a smaller house, there weren't too many guests. Daisy spent most of the night talking to her uncle, Tyler Langerak. He is the son of Dwight Langerak and Rain Forest-Sekemoto-Langerak-Yu.
The other Sims who know martial arts weren't ready yet, so Brandon did some meditating to try to raise the skill.
When Lily was ready, she and Brandon sparred. He lost this round, but I'm not sure who the overall winner was.
Harlan and Daisy shared one last kiss before Harlan went back to the Netherworld. Daisy won't have to wait too much longer to see him again, though, she only has a couple days left on her lifespan.
Lily and Brandon sparred a few more times while Harlan kissed Daisy and left. Lily ended up reaching level 9, the same as where Daisy is.
***14 more screenshots will be posted a bit later, I need to get out of my chair for a while.
After their sparring session, Lily really needed a shower so Brandon joined her as he kind of needed one as well, just not as bad.
Jacob asked Christa to come over for a while, and thankfully she agreed. When no one was looking, they shared a kiss.
Brandon was up to his old tricks again, pranking Lily.
Jacob tried to ask Christa on a date, but she refused because she couldn't stay. I think she either had to work, or it may have been because their prom was later that day. Instead, they had pillow fight until it was time for Christa to leave.
Jacob decided to introduce himself to Christa's mother, Mercedes Goth. Mercedes is a distant relative to my family, but Christa and Jacob aren't that closely related, making the relationship alright.
No one was paying attention to Christa's sister, Belinda, so Jacob changed her diaper and fed her for Mercedes.
However, it soon became time for the prom so Jacob headed over to the school and he and Christa had an amazing night.
The following morning, once everyone was ready, the whole family got together for a jam session. Since Lily is trying to learn all instruments, she took over for keyboard, and Daisy used Lily's guitar. Daisy already had some guitar skill, so she wasn't at 0 like Jacob was. Jacob just kind of played along quietly in the background until he learned the first level of the skill.
After a while, it was time for Jacob to go take some skill classes in athletics, cooking, and charisma. Daisy grabbed the mail around the same time, and the jam session slowly broke up.
Both Lily and Daisy were at level 9 of the martial arts skill, so I had them spar several times just because I love watching high level martial artists spar.
Afterwards, Brandon turned on one of his aura's that affect athletics and logic so he could tutor her in logic.
Later, Jacob made his first meal, autumn salad. The whole family joined together to eat.
***That'll be it until Monday. I have to work both Saturday and Sunday, but I might play Sunday after work and share the updates on Monday (May 23rd, 2022)
I gave Jacob a makeover finally. I played it as he had the old hairstyle as a young teenager, then took on a more mature look about halfway through.
When everyone had woken up, the whole family ate breakfast together.
Since spring had come, Lily had to start working in the garden again. There are only six or seven money trees, a few cheese plants, and a Life Fruit plant.
After Jacob got the mail, he ended up playing guitar in the front yard, in his pajamas.
Lily and Daisy sparred outside after Lily had finished gardening.
To get cleaned up after sparring, Lily and Brandon shared a shower.
Daisy went to the theater so she could get a jam session going. She picked up the meteors I dropped on the lot.
The jam session went well, but no one really made that much, and no one got a promotion either.
Brandon saw his grandmother, Rain, so he stopped to chat with her a bit.
Lily saw Holly, so she spent some time chatting with her sister.
Jacob had to do his homework, as I want to be able to pick his trait.
Then Lily and Daisy had another sparring session, and Brandon had his aura going to help them out.
Daisy finally completed her wish to learn martial arts to the highest level. Lily did too, but she seems more proud of her mother than she does herself.
With her skill maxed, Lily was the perfect teacher to help Brandon reach his third or fourth LTW. He still has a bit to go, but has roughly 30 more Sim days before he even becomes an adult.
However, he did gain another level.
***There are more updates to come. I wasn't feeling the best this morning so I ended up calling in sick. I felt better by early afternoon, so I decided to play for a while.
Brandon has already maxed the logic skill, so he helped Lily to finish learning the skill.
Here is a random photo I forgot was on the wall. It is John Langerak, Quinton (Sekemoto) Langerak, Ariana Langerak, and Daisy when she was either a teenager, or young adult.
Jacob watched the cooking channel. I don't know if he'll end up doing a career where he needs it, but it'll still help him in his home life.
Daisy had a wish to hug Christa, so she summoned her to the house, chatted with her, then gave her a hug.
Afterwards, Jacob took Christa on a date at the Bistro.
Front view of Christa.
Before the end of the date, Jacob gave Christa a kiss, then drove her to his house. Christa ran home from there as she doesn't live very far at all.
The following day, Jacob had a field trip to the diner or bistro. He went to school like he was supposed to, and he went on the field trip. However, when he got home, Lily scolded him for missing work, telling him he was in trouble.
Jacob wasn't very happy about it, but he took his time out like he was supposed to. I went off to do something else with one of the others, and Jacob must have left his time out because the next thing I knew, she was yelling at him again and took away his TV privileges. In an act of defiance, Jacob watched TV anyway. This made Lily mad yet again, and she yelled at him again.
Jacob finally had enough, and he yelled at his mother. The autonomy of scolding Jacob all those times caused them to not even be friends.
Jacob ran off down the road, then randomly picked a place to throw eggs at. When the owner came out, Jacob ran as fast as he could.
He ended up at the spring festival. I had him buy nachos, but a fan wanted his autograph before he could eat, and it made the nachos disappear. He bought another serving, but that one disappeared too. Luckily, another Sim brought a picnic so Jacob ate with that Sim.
Daisy decided on her own that she wanted to play chess, so I just let her do it.
Jacob decided he'd had enough of being a deviant, so he begged Lily for forgiveness. She accepted, and he alternated between complimenting her cleverness and enthusing about athletics to bring their relationship all the way back to best friends.
***Probably have enough for one more long update, will post that soon.
At a party, Daisy chatted with Rain Yu. Rain has been in the save for a long time now, and is just now about to age into an elder.
She also chatted with Sheena Langerak. Sheena needed a shower, but I somehow lost the moodlet manager, so I used MC to get rid of the moodlet, causing the game to think she took a shower.
Before she left, she also chatted with the one who invited her to the party. I think his name is Jamal Tolliver, but I might be wrong. Doesn't matter though, he's not important.
When she got home, she didn't even make it into the house before she died.
Only one family member was going to quit what they were doing to see Daisy go, but I made them all come out to say their goodbyes.
Brandon did some meditation to calm himself after Daisy's death. It also helped him out with his martial arts.
The meditation brought him to level 9 or a black belt in martial arts.
Lily started to teach Jacob how to play chess.
But then, Jacob met up with Christa and they shared some time together.
Knowing they were both about to be young adults, Jacob asked Christa if she'd be his wife, although not until they graduated. Christa said yes, so now they are on track for a wedding soon.
Lily went to a party, and she chatted with a distant relative named Kizzie Langerak.
Jacob ordered a pizza, but he was the only one who had some, other than Christa who was still there.
Lily chatted with Elizabeth about Daisy's death, and she ended up crying on her shoulder. Elizabeth lost her best friend as well, so I'm going to make Elizabeth and Lily be friends as well. They already are friends, but I'll be inviting her over some to hang out.
Lily also had to hand out an autograph to a fan, who I believe is also a distant relative. I'm pretty sure he is Dwight's son. If anyone remembers, I let Dwight move out when Melanie die and he had another wife and more kids.
Lastly, Lily chatted with Christa.
Brandon whipped up some pancakes for breakfast.
Then, only he and Jacob were awake at that time to eat them.
Lily continues to learn the piano in an attempt to learn all four musical instruments to level 10.
Then Brandon chatted with Jacob to raise his martial arts skill to 1. For some reason, it gave Jacob a black belt when it should be white.
However, once he got another point, he had the right colors for his skill level.
Lily went out to the garden to take care of the few plants that are left.
Even though they are both not quite adults yet, Jacob talked with Christa about their upcoming wedding. Christa wished she could just move in with the family now, and was pleasantly surprised when Jacob seemed to read her thoughts and he asked her. She said yes, and I now have control over her. I made her quit her part time job so she can be available for skill building until they can marry.
Then they shared a kiss.
Lily threw her a birthday party and invited her family over.
Here is a picture of Christa as a young adult.
Then the family sat down together to eat cake. Christa is noticeably missing, and it is because I had dragged her hunger bar down so she'd need to eat. Unfortunately, I pulled it too far and she died. I ended up cheating her back to life because I didn't want to have to reload the save. Right after this picture, and before bringing her back, the family quit eating to be upset about her "death".
Lily chatted with this Sim, who wasn't invited. I'm not sure who she is.
Lastly, Christa chatted with her mother, Mercedes Goth, until it was time for her to leave the party.
***I did not play any more after Tuesday night since I had other things to do. I probably will not be able to play again until either Sunday after work, or sometime next week.
Apparently there was a plate that didn't get cleaned up from Christa's birthday party so Lily spent the early morning hours washing that plate, and a few other early morning chores.
Christa is another athletic Sim so she always wants to exercise. I was busy with the other members of the household when she started and she got stinky soon, but she did gain her first skill point.
Jacob ate some breakfast while Lily read a book.
Other than the money trees, there are only three other plants in the garden. One of those died, so it is just a life fruit plant, a cheese plant, and the trees now.
After eating breakfast, Jacob got his homework done.
When Lily went to throw the plant away, I found out that some animal got into the trash so she had to pick all that up too.
Lily finished all the cleaning up, then Brandon put on one of his aura's so he'd gain the martial arts skill faster. Lily did every thing she could to help him, and they sparred three times but he still didn't quite get to the top. For a little bit, Jacob watched them spar and I didn't even know the option was there but I do now.
In between one of the sparring sessions, Jacob went upstairs to paint as I saw it in his queue, put then he stopped painting right after starting so he could play guitar instead.
Jacob then chatted with his fiancé, and he must have been telling her about the garbage Lily had to pick up.
Brandon and Lily went to their shower after sparring.
Once they were done having their fun, Brandon got a wish to meditate for 10 hours so I let him start it.
I sent the rest of the family to the theater so Lily could try and get some tips to get a promotion. However, Troy Langerak (son of Rain and Dwight) chose that particular moment to die, so I let Lily, Christa, and Jacob mourn his death since he is a family member.
The little girl by Lily turned out to be a werewolf, and Troy's death caused her to transform. This scared both Lily and Christa and they passed out at the same time.
The Grim Reaper hung around for a while and showed a video to Carrie.
When Christa got up from fainting, she ended up peeing all over. She was hungry too, which put her in a bad mood. I sent Stinky to the Bistro with Jacob so she could get something to eat, and I used cheats to rid her of her stench.
Lily played for all these Sims for a couple hours, and she made around $250 by the time she left. Even this deer wanted to listen.
Continuing where we left off, Brandon finally finished meditating for 10 hours, and this made him finish out the martial arts skill.
Jacob and Christa ate their breakfast together.
Lily worked in the garden when she got up.
Yet again, Lily had to clean up the garbage because the racoons can't stay out of it.
Christa wants to go into the music career, so I probably will just let her do that. She played guitar for now and might also fill in every once in while for Lily's band.
Lily decided she wanted to exercise, just because she can.
Random picture of Jacob I took, heading off to one of his last days of school.
Christa filled in to play guitar for the band this time. She wasn't able to play well at the beginning, but got some better by the time they left.
Lily and Brandon joined a hot dog eating contest but Aaron Langerak was the one who happened to win.
Brandon, Lily, and Jacob all sat down together to watch the cooking channel before bed.
