Virginia started crying for no apparent reason so I had Mikezumi snuggle her before returning her to the playroom.
Shannon is now level 9 in MA!
Mikezumi got notice that Virgina's parent would be late. She joined the family for dinner after giving Virginia a bottle.
Virginia used the potty just before her mother collected her.
Shannon rolled a wish to play a game with Keanu over breakfast. He finally got his wish!
Keanu rolled a wish to play catch with Mikezumi over dinner. They played while Shannon discovered a new potion on the balcony above them.
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars while Keanu chatted with a classmate.
Shannon rolled a wish to fish before 6am
He had a nap before the family woke for breakfast.
Mikezumi got a new work outfit with her last promotion. The shoes are better but the skirt doesn't seem very practical for child care!
Shannon did the gardening on his own because Keanu rolled a wish to play catch with Mikezumi.
The family needed more variety for breakfast so I had Mikezumi prepare Eggs Machiavellian.
When the kids didn't show up I realised that Mikezumi doesn't work on Fridays so I sent her to get her waking wish to catch a great fish
Shannon got the Timber Terminator Challenge and rolled a wish to break a space rock. When I checked on him I saw that he had found his first gem
Keanu had a field trip to the Science Lab. Samuel Goth was chaperone.
Quentin and Davin, two of Mikezumi's daycare toddlers, also went
I didn't follow him the last time he went there for a field trip so I was surprised that it was in the same building as the hospital.
When Mikezumi got home from fishing I had her retrieve the gems that Shannon had freed from the space rocks
Shannon really likes the heat of the moment kisses!
Flirting led to the treehouse
Mikezumi caught an outstanding salmon while she was out and rolled a wish to catch a perfect one. I put lime in her inventory and she did just that They would be having grilled salmon for dinner!
Mikezumi was reading at the kitchen counter when Keanu got home from the field trip.
Shannon was upstairs playing computer games
Although there were others on the field trip, kids always come home with a hit to their social bars
Keanu had a wish to paint. When he finished his painting he interrupted his parents' flirting to tell a joke
The family enjoyed the grilled salmon
I sent the family to The Toadstool for the evening.
Keanu met Virginia Nix who had aged up the night before
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars before going inside
Keanu got a toy on his first try!
The girl coming in the back door was a Nix. Because she's a teen, I assume she's the sister of Virginia. I've only been giving birthday makeovers to kids Mikezumi has cared for so she missed out
I didn't realize that playing whack a gnome attracted watchers!
I enabled the juice bar as professional and had Mikezumi prepare some drinks before the mixologist arrived.
While watching Mikezumi, I heard screaming! Bianca Crumplebottom had gone into labor!
Mikezumi put her finished drinks on the floor and came over to react. Instead of doing the baby dance, she started clapping! She's happy that a townie baby is being born so she doesn't have to care for pudding vagrants I got a popup while the family were out asking if Mikezumi would mind caring for one of the vagrant toddlers over the weekend. I declined!
It didn't take long for sims to find the drinks she had dropped!
Keanu had a wish to play catch with Shannon I sent the family home after their game.
A new house and family appeared across the street while the family slept
It's Saturday and Keanu's birthday. The family enjoyed Eggs Machiavellian for breakfast
Mikezumi did the gardening on her own because Shannon had a wish to play a game with Keanu and I figured he helps her plenty with her job!
Keanu managed to catch one of Shannon's hard throws!
Keanu is working on a wish to reach level 8 in painting and Shannon is working on a wish to master MA.
Mikezumi harvested some porcini so I had her prepare some risotto.
Shannon is getting very close to mastering MA but it might not happen today.
After using the outdoor shower, Shannon invited some teens to Keanu's birthday party He only invited the kids that Mikezumi had cared for but several others showed up.
Mikezumi had been reading but when I went looking for her I found her playing computer games
Keanu rolled a wish to play in the treehouse so I had him do that before the guests arrived.
Shannon prepared some sushi before the guests arrived.
Travis Summerdream (not invited) arrived for Keanu's birthday party at the same time as Gator Wolff.
Alfred Hoppcraft (not invited) showed up at the same time as Sophie Van Gould.
Fawn Goodfellow arrived alone.
Tory MacDuff arrived with Wilhemina Wolff (not invited).
Wilhemina brought some sort of pie.
Fawn ate non-stop the whole time she was there!
I saw Wilhemina heading outside and followed her because I don't know her or her traits.
Immediately after she pushed over the trash can I MC'ed her home!
The party had been going for a couple of hours so I sent Keanu to the cake.
Much better!
Keanu looks a little awkward as a teen but I think he's still cute
River had been invited and I was wondering why he hadn't come yet. He was harvesting the garden and it's a big garden! I will be deleting most of the plants while they sleep because they don't need all that produce since they are rich.
I held Mikezumi and Shannon back from the cake in case there wasn't enough for the guests.
I don't know what I was thinking but I gave Keanu the virtuoso trait on aging up. I changed it later when I realized that River was also a virtuoso. Because of my mistake, Shannon gave him a guitar for his birthday.
River finally showed up!
Mikezumi gave Keanu a keyboard. He can give his gifts to River at some stage because he is no longer a virtuoso
I sent Keanu to chat with River
They got hearts Mikezumi and Shannon are eating sushi in the background.
Alfred and Tory danced Gator had been dancing earlier.
I remembered that River was a virtuoso when he found the family guitar and that's when I changed Keanu's virtuoso trait to party animal.
As soon as I changed Keanu's trait to party animal he went straight to River for a dance
I saw Shannon and Mikezumi heading to the bedroom. Mikezumi was responsible!
I couldn't see Travis and found him outside playing on the rocking horse Because it was getting late, I MC'ed him home.
Mikezumi and Shannon flirted in the bedroom for quite some time
I had Keanu bring a plate of sushi to River. Shannon came out and congratulated Keanu on his birthday
I didn't see that Mikezumi had joined River at the table until I zoomed back out.
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars
Keanu and River danced before I sent River home because it was late. I got a popup during the party that Virginia Nix would be spending Sunday with Mikezumi.
Keanu woke up with mood swings Cancelled!
The family enjoyed waffles for Sunday breakfast
I sent Keanu to the kitchen to get started on the cooking skill. He looked so happy that I was sure he had no inkling of what I had actually directed him to do
I braved a cooked meal, waffles
Shannon was confronted by a couple of barren plants when he turned the corner after harvesting the money trees. Neither cried
The houses I usually use don't have windows facing onto the stove and I am loving being able to capture their faces while cooking
Mikezumi and Shannon both rolled wishes to teach Keanu how to drive but Shannon got the job because Virginia would be staying for the day. Mikezumi also rolled a wish to prepare Keanu's favourite meal so I had her do that before Virginia arrived.
I wasn't surprised when Keanu chose the good car
Virginia did her homework as soon as she arrived.
I had Mikezumi sit with her for a chat
Mikezumi has a new interaction since her last promotion: "Go Play"
Keanu got his licence in one shot and didn't try to run home afterwards!
I thought it was hysterically funny when Keanu started to Smustle! My party animal sims don't usually choose this dance!
Virginia went to the block table when Mikezumi told her to go play.
Virginia needed a snack so Mikezumi gave her some cookies. Mikezumi's working, Shannon!
I invited River over and sent Keanu to invite him inside.
Virginia found the spring rider when she finished eating
Keanu gossiped with River when they got inside.
It's a good thing that Virginia didn't need anything because Shannon was being naughty!
I sent Shannon to the board breaker so he wouldn't interrupt Mikezumi's work again!
It was only a couple of hours since Virginia last ate! My sims don't get hungry for at least 12 hours after one of Mikezumi's perfect meals!
First kiss!
River must be keen!
I had Virginia join Mikezumi so she wouldn't bother the boys.
Shannon got his wish to master MA!
I loved Mikezumi's smile here She really does love kids
Shannon came inside to get to know River.
The boys kept on flirting
Flirting led to the bedroom
Virginia had to leave when they sat down to dinner. She poofed shortly after making this face.
The boys watched the stars after dinner
Shannon and Mikezumi were loving it up!
They ended the night with a pillow fight
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening.
Keanu didn't have a waking wish so I sent him to work on his wish to reach level 8 in painting.
Mikezumi and Shannon kissed (and probably more) after gardening
Shannon's waking wish was to buy a new recipe so I gave him Mikezumi's multitab to buy one online. I had him read it since he bought it! Mikezumi read while waiting for the kids to arrive. Only one toddler came and it was pudding Reynaldo Burney
Good Lord! She doesn't need a green head scarf when her hair is already baby poo green!
Mikezumi got to work. Pudding or not, he still needed caring for.
He even got some skilling!
Shannon has a wish to break 250 more boards. It's going to be slow going with space rocks but the family will be rich in no time!
I bought a nice chair for Mikezumi so she could read while caring for the kids. With only one toddler, she had lots of opportunity to read!
I sent her to the mailbox thinking she might have more gifts but it was only Shannon's MA certificate and Keanu's driving licence. I sold both for §1,800
Reynaldo was one happy kid with Mikezumi all to himself!
Shannon made use of the outdoor shower when he took a break from board breaking.
He rolled a wish to learn the painting skill so I bought a new easel for him.
Shannon's social bar was getting a little low (for me, low is like 2mm below full ) so I sent him to chat with Mikezumi.
No!!!! Jeffrey Beard is now a child and came after school. I checked the population and there are 8 non pudding toddlers and about 7 non pudding children so why is the game sending them to me?!
Mikezumi helped him with his homework.
Keanu got home late because he had Art Class. He brought home a painting but I forgot to look at it. He also reached level 7
Jeffrey needed a snack so Mikezumi served him some cookies.
I got a popup that Reynaldo's parent would be late. He was doing fine
Keanu will need to work on his athletic skill now he is a teen if he hopes to survive games of catch with his dad!
It was after 6 when more kids started to show up. None of them had time to do their homework or to eat. They must have had after school classes first. Victoria was the first to arrive.
Darwin Goodfellow came next. He went straight for the seesaw. He wasn't one of Mikezumi's toddlers so hasn't had a makeover.
Virginia was lonely so Mikezumi went out to chat with her.
Dewayne Harris also came He went upstairs to do something but his time was up before he could do anything.
The family enjoyed Dim Sum for dinner
Keanu came home with a wish to catch a bug. He caught a spotted beetle worth §300
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars
The family enjoyed waffles for breakfast
Keanu finished his painting. I have seen this one many times but I always look forward to seeing it again because it is so cute
Mikezumi woke with a wish to grow a potato plant.
She helped Shannon with the gardening after planting her seed.
Keanu's waking wish was to paint.
Post-gardening loving
Shannon checked the mail and, although there was a parcel, it was empty
Mikezumi read while waiting to start her work day.
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish.
Once again, only Reynaldo came.
After Reynaldo's needs were taken care of, Mikezumi took a break
Mikezumi finished off teaching Reynaldo how to walk.
Keanu had a field trip to the Science Lab. Samuel Goth was chaperone and River also went
Mikezumi asked Shannon about his day when he returned from fishing
With only one toddler to care for, they even had time for some flirting
Reynaldo needed a diaper change and a bottle.
Keanu did his homework when he got home from the field trip.
Mikezumi had collected about 5 gems earlier in the day and Shannon was churning out more!
Keanu needed some socializing because of the field trip. Mikezumi was happy to oblige
Shannon interrupted Keanu's painting for a chat
To keep them out of Mikezumi's way, I had Shannon train Keanu in MA
Darwin and Virginia arrived late again. Mikezumi told Darwin to do his homework.
When Mikezumi went outside to help Virginia with her homework, I saw that Jeffrey had also arrived.
The family enjoyed Porcini Risotto for dinner I noticed that Keanu had got his first skill point in MA I also noticed that both Keanu and Shannon were animated over dinner. The training must have knocked something loose!
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Keanu had a wish to spar with someone. I think he's going to regret that wish!
That doesn't look good!
Run, Keanu!
Shannon landed the deciding blow!
@meerkattime Thank you so much for your lovely comments
The career really isn't fun but it is what you make of it and adding Shannon and Keanu made the game more to my taste. If it were just Mikezumi caring for those needy little monsters I would have given up after the first sim week!
There's not a lot of fun venues in Moonlight Falls but I don't really mind because my sims are not really clubbers and are quite happy just fishing and woohooing and the beaches are quite lovely even if they aren't colorful.
I am trying not to give my sims too many spicy meals but I do get a good chuckle from the reaction
I thought it was perfect when Mikezumi started clapping instead of doing the baby dance! I don't know what stopped her from reacting normally because nothing appeared in her queue so I am sticking to my story that she is excited about having actual townies to look after
I didn't have any intention of making a River sim but I simply had to once I started playing with Keanu. This is the first time I have used Keanu since I made him. I am glad I did because he's so cute!
Sparring with Shannon would be hard on any sim but Keanu has to get used to it if he wants to find out the truth about The Matrix
Mikezumi was a little stir crazy so I woke her when I loaded my save at 3am and sent her fishing.
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Shannon's waking wish was to grow a great lettuce plant, worth 1,000 LTH.
Keanu's waking wish was to prepare a meal. They only had one serve of pancakes left so pancakes it was!
Shannon cried over a dead plant
Mikezumi "comforted" him
Keanu finished with time to spare before the school bus came
Mikezumi was checking the mail when an actual townie toddler arrived! His name is Abel Crumplebottom and he is the son of Jules MacDuff and Bianca Crumplebottom. His parents must have been busy and he was dropped off by Belinda Harris. Mikezumi got a Science Research Station and a pool table as gifts from happy parents
I gave Abel a quick makeover. I am not touching genetics as you can see by his frightfully short nose!
Mikezumi starting teaching Abel how to talk after she had taken care of his needs.
Shannon broke space rocks for a few hours.
Once again, Mikezumi was able to take frequent breaks
Shannon came inside after showering and played with Abel
Mikezumi finished off Abel's talking lesson
Mikezumi potty trained Abel. The family oriented trait makes skilling so much faster!
River came home from school with Keanu I would have invited River over anyway because Keanu wanted to ask him to Prom.
They did their homework together
Keanu has a Prom date Reynaldo Burney is now a child and started his homework as soon as he arrived. I noticed that children who come after school have a head start on their homework and start at 60% complete.
Mikezumi's friendly trait doesn't discriminate between townie and pudding
Shannon found the game console!
Virginia arrived a lot earlier and was able to complete her homework.
Jeffrey also got his homework done.
Dewayne arrived a little late and didn't even get to start his homework.
Jeffrey and Reynaldo played in the pool until it was time to leave.
River stayed for dinner
Keanu and River watched the stars before River went home
Shannon rolled a wish to fish before 6am. He arrived at Moonlight Point just after 3am and I was surprised to see Daydream and her two kids were just leaving. Poor kids must be exhausted!
Shannon caught his first Tragic Clownfish
I think Shannon was complaining that they weren't eating pancakes.
Your birthday was days ago, Keanu!
Shannon did the gardening on his own because there aren't many plants at the moment.
Mikezumi prepared crepes
Keanu didn't have a waking wish so I sent him to work on his wish to reach level 8 in painting.
I had Shannon clean the counter because I had read that parents will complain if the house is dirty.
Mikezumi and Shannon had a chat before her work day started.
Abel Crumplebottom arrived as Mikezumi was collecting the mail. She received a pool table from a grateful parent.
She beat Abel inside. I laughed when she reacted like this to doorbell considering she had just passed them in the driveway
Abel was lonely when he arrived but otherwise in good shape.
Shannon went to the board breaker when I sent Mikezumi to collect the mail.
Abel played with the dollhouse after Mikezumi took the edge of his loneliness.
Mikezumi attacked Abel with the claw before changing his diaper and giving him a bottle.
I sent Shannon to the shower when he got too stinky and he came inside to teach Abel how to walk when he was done I have a mod which makes it more likely for sims to autonomously teach kids how to walk and talk. I couldn't stand the shine on the potty chairs so went into buy mode and removed the specular.
Shannon rolled a wish to put Abel on the spring rider when they became friends
He kissed Mikezumi when he brought Abel back inside
I sent Shannon off to do prepare a meal to stop them from taking the kiss further
The pudding boys, Reynaldo and Jeffrey, arrived early and immediately started on their homework.
Keanu came home late because he had Art Class. He got his wish to reach level 8
He came home with a wish to set a booby trap
Reynaldo and Jeffrey were swimming when Mikezumi called them in for cookies.
Dewayne and Virginia arrived at 6! Dewayne was heading outside when Mikezumi stopped him to tell him to do his homework.
By the time she got to Virginia it was time for her to go home so she didn't get her homework done.
The family enjoyed burgers for dinner
I sent Keanu to collect the gems around the board breaker.
Shannon rolled a wish to play a game with Mikezumi while they were eating so I let him borrow Keanu's ball.
They watched the stars after their game
Since Keanu had no outstanding wishes, I sent him to the training dummy.
He rolled a wish to break a board when he leveled up
Keanu woke with mood swings again! Cancelled!
He was his usual happy self when he joined his parents for breakfast
Keanu didn't have any waking wishes so I sent him to help Shannon with the gardening.
Mikezumi stayed inside to make PB&J for the after school kids.
Keanu came in to dance when he finished gardening
Mikezumi went to the library to read. When she had been reading for quite some time I realized it was Friday and she had no work!
I sent her fishing because she spends way too much time at home!
Shannon broke space rocks while Mikezumi was out
I sent Mikezumi home after a few hours of fishing. It didn't take long for Shannon to find her
She must miss the kids because I found her reading in the play room!
Shannon must have had enough space rock breaking and I found him playing computer games.

River had been invited and I was wondering why he hadn't come yet. He was harvesting the garden and it's a big garden! I will be deleting most of the plants while they sleep because they don't need all that produce since they are rich.
I held Mikezumi and Shannon back from the cake in case there wasn't enough for the guests.
I don't know what I was thinking but I gave Keanu the virtuoso trait on aging up. I changed it later when I realized that River was also a virtuoso. Because of my mistake, Shannon gave him a guitar for his birthday.
River finally showed up!
Mikezumi gave Keanu a keyboard. He can give his gifts to River at some stage because he is no longer a virtuoso
I sent Keanu to chat with River
They got hearts
Alfred and Tory danced
I remembered that River was a virtuoso when he found the family guitar and that's when I changed Keanu's virtuoso trait to party animal.

Keanu needed some socializing because of the field trip. Mikezumi was happy to oblige
Shannon interrupted Keanu's painting for a chat
To keep them out of Mikezumi's way, I had Shannon train Keanu in MA

When Mikezumi went outside to help Virginia with her homework, I saw that Jeffrey had also arrived.
The family enjoyed Porcini Risotto for dinner
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Keanu had a wish to spar with someone. I think he's going to regret that wish!
That doesn't look good!
Run, Keanu!
Shannon landed the deciding blow!

The career really isn't fun but it is what you make of it and adding Shannon and Keanu made the game more to my taste. If it were just Mikezumi caring for those needy little monsters I would have given up after the first sim week!
There's not a lot of fun venues in Moonlight Falls but I don't really mind because my sims are not really clubbers and are quite happy just fishing and woohooing and the beaches are quite lovely even if they aren't colorful.
I am trying not to give my sims too many spicy meals but I do get a good chuckle from the reaction
I thought it was perfect when Mikezumi started clapping instead of doing the baby dance! I don't know what stopped her from reacting normally because nothing appeared in her queue so I am sticking to my story that she is excited about having actual townies to look after
I didn't have any intention of making a River sim but I simply had to once I started playing with Keanu. This is the first time I have used Keanu since I made him. I am glad I did because he's so cute!
Sparring with Shannon would be hard on any sim but Keanu has to get used to it if he wants to find out the truth about The Matrix

The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Shannon's waking wish was to grow a great lettuce plant, worth 1,000 LTH.
Keanu's waking wish was to prepare a meal. They only had one serve of pancakes left so pancakes it was!
Shannon cried over a dead plant
Mikezumi "comforted" him
Keanu finished with time to spare before the school bus came
Mikezumi was checking the mail when an actual townie toddler arrived! His name is Abel Crumplebottom and he is the son of Jules MacDuff and Bianca Crumplebottom. His parents must have been busy and he was dropped off by Belinda Harris. Mikezumi got a Science Research Station and a pool table as gifts from happy parents
I gave Abel a quick makeover. I am not touching genetics as you can see by his frightfully short nose!
Mikezumi starting teaching Abel how to talk after she had taken care of his needs.
Shannon broke space rocks for a few hours.
Once again, Mikezumi was able to take frequent breaks
Shannon came inside after showering and played with Abel
Mikezumi finished off Abel's talking lesson

River came home from school with Keanu
They did their homework together
Keanu has a Prom date
Mikezumi's friendly trait doesn't discriminate between townie and pudding
Shannon found the game console!
Virginia arrived a lot earlier and was able to complete her homework.
Jeffrey also got his homework done.
Dewayne arrived a little late and didn't even get to start his homework.
Jeffrey and Reynaldo played in the pool until it was time to leave.
River stayed for dinner
Keanu and River watched the stars before River went home

Shannon caught his first Tragic Clownfish
I think Shannon was complaining that they weren't eating pancakes.
Your birthday was days ago, Keanu!
Shannon did the gardening on his own because there aren't many plants at the moment.
Mikezumi prepared crepes
Keanu didn't have a waking wish so I sent him to work on his wish to reach level 8 in painting.
I had Shannon clean the counter because I had read that parents will complain if the house is dirty.
Mikezumi and Shannon had a chat before her work day started.

She beat Abel inside. I laughed when she reacted like this to doorbell considering she had just passed them in the driveway
Abel was lonely when he arrived but otherwise in good shape.
Shannon went to the board breaker when I sent Mikezumi to collect the mail.
Abel played with the dollhouse after Mikezumi took the edge of his loneliness.
Mikezumi attacked Abel with the claw before changing his diaper and giving him a bottle.
I sent Shannon to the shower when he got too stinky and he came inside to teach Abel how to walk when he was done
Shannon rolled a wish to put Abel on the spring rider when they became friends
He kissed Mikezumi when he brought Abel back inside
I sent Shannon off to do prepare a meal to stop them from taking the kiss further

Keanu came home late because he had Art Class. He got his wish to reach level 8
He came home with a wish to set a booby trap
Reynaldo and Jeffrey were swimming when Mikezumi called them in for cookies.
Dewayne and Virginia arrived at 6! Dewayne was heading outside when Mikezumi stopped him to tell him to do his homework.
By the time she got to Virginia it was time for her to go home so she didn't get her homework done.
The family enjoyed burgers for dinner
I sent Keanu to collect the gems around the board breaker.
Shannon rolled a wish to play a game with Mikezumi while they were eating so I let him borrow Keanu's ball.
They watched the stars after their game
Since Keanu had no outstanding wishes, I sent him to the training dummy.
He rolled a wish to break a board when he leveled up

He was his usual happy self when he joined his parents for breakfast
Keanu didn't have any waking wishes so I sent him to help Shannon with the gardening.
Mikezumi stayed inside to make PB&J for the after school kids.
Keanu came in to dance when he finished gardening
Mikezumi went to the library to read. When she had been reading for quite some time I realized it was Friday and she had no work!
I sent her fishing because she spends way too much time at home!
Shannon broke space rocks while Mikezumi was out
I sent Mikezumi home after a few hours of fishing. It didn't take long for Shannon to find her
She must miss the kids because I found her reading in the play room!
Shannon must have had enough space rock breaking and I found him playing computer games.
