Topaz ran out to tell Luca that was ready and nearly fell on her way back in.
Topaz, Luca and Buttercup ate lunch.
"Luca?" said Topaz. "Is something wrong?" asked Luca. "No I wanted to ask if you were possibly open to trying to have a baby?" she replied. "I was going to ask you the same question but you beat me to it." said Luca with a grin.
Topaz and Luca headed upstairs and both made sure the other was sure they were ready for kids.

Upon returning home Luca headed inside and Topaz had the urge to investigate some strange light.
An alien spaceship appeared out of nowhere and beamed Topaz abord.
Luca knew from the sound of the spaceship that Topaz was being abducted. He didn't do anything because it has been a dream of hers to be abducted since she was a child. Plus he might have "arranged" the abduction as a secret wedding gift.
Topaz was laughing the whole ride back down to the ground.
Only Topaz would enjoy being abducted this much.
Topaz and Luca had dinner and she told him all about the abduction. Luca smiled and nodded trying not give it away that he was behind it. Topaz and Luca soon headed to bed.

A short time later both sims headed inside to finish their knitting projects.
"I don't know if you noticed, but you spent the most of today in your Alien Form, even at the beach." Topaz said to Luca. "I grew up with parents who were both paranoid and made sure that we never showed our Alien Form to anyone outside of our family. Since I've been living with you I've become more comfortable in my Alien skin." Luca replied. "So does that mean I will get to see more of your true self?" asked Topaz. "If you wish." replied Luca.

Topaz sat down to get the scoop about the new neighbors from Ashley while she had dinner. Apparently all of the McCormick's are vampires and Ashley thinks they are awesome. "Do you want to become a vampire?" Topaz asked Ashley. "It's my dream to be a professional athlete and being a vampire would give me a huge advantage." Ashley's excitement over vampires reminded her of her obsession with aliens as a child. Like mother, like daughter they say.
Cyrus and Phoenix had already gone to bed when Topaz came in to check on them. She tucked them both in.
@TeeSea You were right that Garnet would live to see her grandchildren, but she and Trenton kind of ruined the holiday going out when they did. It kind of looks like Buttercup has one of Ashley's planets, when she and her parents are working on the Solar system model. I think vampires might have some distinct disadvantages during day games.
I enjoyed reading your updates.
@jbadger12
Vampires don't have any negative effects from the sun in my game thanks to TwistedMexi's DAY WALKERS mod. I was sick of seeing vampires die because they were not smart enough to just go inside. I think Garnet and Trenton passed away because of two new mods from bienchen that can affect a sim's life span called moredeathsurprise and lesslonglivingactivesims which changes how long your sim lives based off of their lifestyle choices instead of a set amount of days.
Thanks for stopping by!

Topaz returned home also upset and joined Ashley for dinner.
After she finished eating Ashley looked up at her mom with tears in her eyes and asked "Mom, why does it hurt so much in my heart?" Topaz thought about it for a second then replied "Because you loved your Grandparents and they loved you.

@TeeSea You've had some good updates. I like your teamwork strategy for projects. I wonder if it's faster than what I've been doing. I have an adult help each one of the kids, and whoever finishes first, they help one of the remaining groups, until everyone is done.
@jbadger12
Thank you!
I tested the time it took to complete projects and the more people working on project the faster it gets completed. It took more time to have them split off into smaller groups. When you get into the teenage years, having a child help with teen project is counter productive because the project usually comes out less than excellent because child sims lack the skills needed for the projects.
Thanks for stopping by!

"If you wait till you are a teen to become a vampire you will be more likely to suffer uncomfortable stomach problems and a whole slew of side effects after being bitten. But with a little bit of magic I can keep you from suffering." said Topaz. Then she added "If we change you now, your body will have already adjusted and it will be like you were a Vampire your whole life."
Ashley begged her mom "Please? Please? Please?"
"I didn't learn the Vampire Spirit Charm for nothing." Topaz replied with a smile.
Topaz instructed Ashley to sit still and she cast the charm. A large orb of light appeared then turned into a deep purple mist that entered into Ashley's chest. "All done." said Topaz. "I don't feel any different." replied Ashley with a hint of disappointment. "Don't worry, the day you age up to a teenager you will become a member of the undead. It will be up to you to find a mentor since neither I or your father have any knowledge of Vampire Powers."

After take a few virtual tours of some open homes Ashley found a home that is perfect and started packing up her belongings. She harvested all her plasma fruit and carefully uprooted her tree's to be transplanted at her new house.
Welcome to 2-5-1 Wakabamori. Ashley used all but just under $6,000 to purchase the house but feels it's totally worth it. It's a very large house and Ashley has plenty of time to furnish it. Now she just needs to make the money to do so.

Then she and Pepper went for a jog.
The snow was beginning to melt and spring flowers were starting to bloom. Ashley headed out to tour her new neighborhood.
She found a little park with a bulletin board that had information regarding local festivals and the daily wildlife report for the local hiking trails.
Ashley also noticed that the lake behind her house was melted enough to go swimming. One nice thing about being a Vampire is that Ashley is impervious to cold and hot temperatures.

Milo invited Ashley out to the Narwhal On Arms dance club. They were dancing and chatting with other teens there when Milo kissed another girl right in front of her!
Ashley let out a low vampire growl then laid into Milo for cheating.
"You had a good thing buddy and now you've lost it. Buh-Bye Milo" Ashley said before turning on heels to leave.
Before actually heading home Ashley ducked into a corner and cast "Be Mean To..." on the girl Milo kissed and commanded her to be mean to Milo.
Then she stood there and watched as Milo got his chewed out.
Ashley returned home feeling vindicated yet still sad that Milo, her best friend and now ex-boyfriend kissed another girl on their date. "Even Vampires can feel heart ache." Ashley said to herself as the her coffin lid started to lower.
@TeeSea Some good updates as usual. Buttercup looked a little inadvertently vicious in her last appearance. Growing up, my family had a TV set that looked just like the one next to Ashley's fireplace. I'm interested to see where Ashley's journey takes her.
@TeeSea Some good updates as usual. Buttercup looked a little inadvertently vicious in her last appearance. Growing up, my family had a TV set that looked just like the one next to Ashley's fireplace. I'm interested to see where Ashley's journey takes her.
Thanks for stopping by. The TV is actually a fish tank by RVSH. Ashley has been my favorite Sim so far from the Not So Berry Challenge. The clothes she leaves all over the house drive me mad but I just invite her parents over and they usually put it all in the hamper before they leave. Hope you had a great weekend!

It's a beautiful looking desert.
And tastes fantastic!
Ashley headed over to Milo's house to talk with him. "I don't want to stop being best friends but I definitely feel it's better that we remain friends and only friends." Ashley said to Milo. "I feel the same way. We are much better together as friends than being romantically involved. I've have felt terrible since I kissed that other girl. She even chewed me out for kissing her while I was in a relationship. I deserve it though." Milo replied. Ashley couldn't hide her smirk when he mention being chewed out by the other girl. "What?" asked Milo when he saw Ashley's expression. "Um, I may have used my vampire powers to make her be mean to you...sorry." replied Ashley. Then she added "So I guess this makes us even?" Milo laughed and nodded his head yes.
Ashley is happy to have her best friend back.
Milo gave more Vampire training to Ashley.

After catching a few bunches of kelp, Ashley finally caught a clown fish. She released the fish back into the ocean, grabbed her drone and headed home.
Ashley edited the fishin vlog and sent it to the sponsors for approval. They loved it and Ashley get's to keep the royalties from her vlog. She is not really sure if she wants to do another sponsored vlog since it's not the kind of celebrity she wants to be. Only time will tell.

Ashley gets along particularly well with one of the teens named Judd. There is something mysterious about him and she wants to know more.
Ashley had one last stop to make. A friend from school named Kellie Jackson also wanted to become a vampire.
Ashley feels she might have inadvertently made becoming a vampire the "cool thing" to do and feels that it would irresponsible to turn any more sims without directing them to Vlad first.
Ashley headed home and took Pepper for a jog.

"I don't know if you noticed, but you spent the most of today in your Alien Form, even at the beach." Topaz said to Luca. "I grew up with parents who were both paranoid and made sure that we never showed our Alien Form to anyone outside of our family. Since I've been living with you I've become more comfortable in my Alien skin." Luca replied. "So does that mean I will get to see more of your true self?" asked Topaz. "If you wish." replied Luca.

Vampires don't have any negative effects from the sun in my game thanks to TwistedMexi's DAY WALKERS mod. I was sick of seeing vampires die because they were not smart enough to just go inside. I think Garnet and Trenton passed away because of two new mods from bienchen that can affect a sim's life span called moredeathsurprise and lesslonglivingactivesims which changes how long your sim lives based off of their lifestyle choices instead of a set amount of days.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you!
I tested the time it took to complete projects and the more people working on project the faster it gets completed. It took more time to have them split off into smaller groups. When you get into the teenage years, having a child help with teen project is counter productive because the project usually comes out less than excellent because child sims lack the skills needed for the projects.
Thanks for stopping by!

"I feel the same way. We are much better together as friends than being romantically involved. I've have felt terrible since I kissed that other girl. She even chewed me out for kissing her while I was in a relationship. I deserve it though." Milo replied. Ashley couldn't hide her smirk when he mention being chewed out by the other girl. "What?" asked Milo when he saw Ashley's expression. "Um, I may have used my vampire powers to make her be mean to you...sorry." replied Ashley. Then she added "So I guess this makes us even?"
