I remembered it was Prom Day so I invited River over while Keanu did his homework.
The front porch must be too small to greet sims.
Keanu went straight for woohoo when they got inside! I didn't stop them because it would mean that River went to Prom with a full fun bar.
I saw River in Shannon's queue just as Keanu was beckoning him. I cancelled it!
I changed the boys' clothes and had Keanu chat with River so they wouldn't miss the limo by woohooing again.
The boys looked very handsome
I found Shannon and Mikezumi in an upstairs bedroom.
Shannon received a text that Peanut Ivy's party was about to begin.
"Keanu was deemed ruler of the school! Prom King's never looked so good." When I got that popup I took the Prom photo out of Keanu's inventory
I saw that Peanut wasn't at home so I sent Shannon and Mikezumi downstairs to eat dinner.
I found Peanut at the Town Hall. He had already changed for his party but hadn't left for home yet. I had noticed that several sims were graduating earlier in the day.
I sent Shannon and Mikezumi to the party when I saw that Peanut had arrived home.
I sent Shannon to talk to Peanut while Mikezumi prepared a cheese plate.
Mikezumi introduced herself to Peanut.
She discovered he doesn't like children!
Shannon found a computer in one of the bedrooms
Zoe Durwood joined the conversation.
I sent Shannon downstairs to introduce himself to Zoe.
These poor sims desperately need makeovers but I simply don't have the strength to do a whole town!
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars before going home
The family enjoyed pancakes for Saturday breakfast. Virginia would be coming for the day. I also got a popup that Reynaldo needed care for the day but I declined.
Keanu helped his parents with the gardening. Shannon was in the backyard harvesting the money trees.
Keanu's waking wish was to stay out after curfew. I don't have curfew so I cancelled the wish. Fortunately he had a wish to practise MA locked in from the previous day and Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over breakfast
It was a very short match!
Immediately after, Keanu asked his dad for a game of catch
While the boys played, Mikezumi cut gems. She has so many in her inventory from Shannon's board breaking that she can't keep up with the cutting!
Virginia did her homework as soon as she arrived. Mikezumi sat and chatted with her
It's been a while since I've seen the pinch cheek animation that I had Mikezumi do just that
She can't have minded too much because she hugged Mikezumi immediately after
There was no reason for Shannon and Keanu to stay home just because Mikezumi had to so I sent them to the beach.
Mikezumi did some cooking while Virginia played.
I got a popup that Virginia had reached level one in the block table skill
Mikezumi fed Virginia when she got hungry. I think she had three meals during the day!
I checked on the boys and found Keanu relaxing and Shannon about to head into the water for a swim.
Keanu rolled a wish to give Gladsten a friendly introduction. Gladsten is now an elder.
Virginia baked a muffin when Mikezumi told her to go play!
I checked the boys again and Keanu had joined his dad in the water
Mikezumi learned the painting skill while Virginia played
I sent the boys home in the middle of the afternoon. Keanu went straight for the stereo!
Shannon went straight for the board breaker
I didn't want Virginia getting lonely so I had Mikezumi join her at video games
Virginia got hungry again and Mikezumi hugged Keanu after feeding her. I love autonomous hugging
Virginia's parents were thrilled with how well Mikezumi had cared for Virginia and Mikezumi was promoted to level 5!
The family enjoyed firecracker shrimp for dinner
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars after dinner
Keanu had unlocked the logic skill from the peg box while playing chess and wanted to make potions.
Keanu had a swim after and had a little mishap while diving
Keanu rolled a wish to fish before 6am.
He caught a record-sized rainbow trout
The day before he had rolled a wish to plant stink juice. I let him do that before going home just to get it out of the way.
The family enjoyed Eggs Machiavellian for Sunday breakfast.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to play a game with Keanu so I let Shannon do the gardening on his own because there aren't many plants at the moment.
Keanu and Mikezumi are well matched athletically so it wasn't a brutal game
Shannon had a wish to find seeds and I saw one very close to the house.
I sent the family to the park. Mikezumi saw Violet Grimm and rolled a wish to give her a friendly introduction.
When Violet wandered off, Mikezumi joined her boys
Keanu introduced himself to Violet as well. More sims arrived and my game started lagging.
You can't see all the sims in this pic because the park is quite large but there were about 20 sims there.
When the lag at the park became unbearable, I sent the family to Moonlight Point. Mikezumi immediately pulled out her multitab to read.
When the boys started a game of catch, I sent Mikezumi fishing. She got her wish to catch every kind of fish (only 20 types of fish are needed for wish) with this Fairy Damsel.
Keanu reached level 4 in athletics and I could see he was holding his own for the most part, although he did get a few beanings
I went into map view and found River and invited him to join the family. His father, Pappy Phoenix (original name, I know ) arrived first.
River arrived while Mikezumi was getting to know Pappy
I had Shannon join the conversation so he wouldn't bother Keanu and River
The boys ended up playing catch and poor River took a beating
Mikezumi pulled out her multitab when Shannon wandered off to the foosball table.
Pappy was going from window to window so I had Shannon ask him to join him.
Mikezumi prepared fish and chips for dinner
River and Keanu got in each other's way on their way to dinner and Keanu had to call River to dinner again.
Shannon boasted about his gaming skills. He must have won the foosball match
Keanu and River watched the stars
Shannon and Mikezumi did the same before going home.
Keanu stayed after his parents had left and they watched the stars again before Keanu kissed River goodbye and went home to bed.
Although this is Mikezumi's first work day after reaching the top of the Daycare Career, it was a very quiet day! The family enjoyed crepes for breakfast
Mikezumi and Shannon did the gardening
Keanu's waking wish was to practise on the MA training dummy
Shannon and Mikezumi had a little romantic fun after they finished the gardening
Although I got a popup that Mikezumi's work day had started, no toddlers arrived. There are 3 townie toddlers so I don't know what's up there. Mikezumi's waking wish was to meet someone new so I had her chat with the pudding newspaper boy. I figure in for a penny, in for a pound since she's already caring for pudding kids.
I sent Mikezumi to finish her painting because Shannon had started breaking space rocks and I didn't want her to disturb him.
Mikezumi roasted a turkey after she finished her painting.
Then she prepared some skill gain drinks. Although they are not big drinkers, skill gain drinks are very useful to have around.
Keanu did his homework when he got home from Art Class.
He came home with a wish to visit the Theatre so I sent him on a tour. I didn't follow him because I knew after school kids would be arriving soon.
Luther Pok arrived first. He didn't come inside but started on his homework immediately so I didn't let Mikezumi bother him.
Reynaldo arrived next and also started on his homework. Dewayne was next and he went straight inside.
When Sunshine Grimm arrived I got a popup that he/she needs to learn discipline. I didn't get a chance to check if it was a boy or a girl
Mikezumi was already on her way to tell Dewayne to do his homework when Sunshine arrived so didn't even get a chance to introduce herself before it was time for the kids to go home.
When I checked on Dewayne I found that Jeffrey had joined him upstairs.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to eat at the Bistro. I had forgotten all about her van until she pulled it out!
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars when they got home
Another quiet day for Mikezumi. I don't want the house overrun with toddlers but I wouldn't mind one or two to keep Mikezumi busy during the day. I am not sure if she can go out before the school kids arrive so it gets a bit dull with her at home. At least she has her boys
Shannon did the gardening on his own because Mikezumi woke with a wish to prepare a meal using perfect ingredients and I wanted that out of the way in case a toddler did arrive.
Mikezumi prepared Eggs Machiavellian because they were down to one serve after eating them for breakfast.
Keanu's waking wish was to use the training dummy. That's two mornings in a row! He's not disciplined and I am surprised that he hasn't rolled a wish to master painting yet.
He leveled up before the school bus came
Mikezumi is a show off!
Keanu grabbed a drink before the school bus came but didn't have time to enjoy it.
Shannon found Mikezumi in the kitchen when he was done with the gardening
Shannon's waking wish was to prepare a meal. I had him prepare his favourite, pancakes
Shannon and Mikezumi chatted in the library
They flirted a little after chatting and it ended in the bedroom
Shannon went to the board breaker so I had Mikezumi collect the gems around the breaker and then cut them.
Keanu had no after school class so got home early.
He came home from school with a wish to use the training dummy! He must be preparing for The Matrix
Jeanna Sumari and Luther Pok were the first to arrive. I can see that Luther is evil so his name is perfect for him!
Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over breakfast I couldn't stop and watch them because more kids were arriving.
Luther was lonely when he arrived and went straight to Mikezumi for a talk. I discovered another of his traits! Reynaldo came into the library to do his homework.
Jeanna did her homework on the deck.
I got a popup that Keanu had won the sparring match! I could see disbelief on Shannon's face
Mikezumi went out to chat with Jeanna when she finished her homework.
Reynaldo had been in the pool when Mikezumi called the kids for a snack of PB&J.
Sunshine Grimm went straight to the bathroom when she arrived. She was standing in front of the shower and I worried that she was about to set a trap because she is a "problem child". Mikezumi called her out and told her to do her homework.
Abel Crumplebottom arrived as Mikezumi was heading out to tell Jeffrey Beard to do his homework.
Shannon and Keanu chatted with a couple of the kids after they cleared their dishes. I thought they were playing catch but they must have wanted to meet new sims.
Although it took a while for the kids to poof away, Mikezumi's work day was over so the family sat down to eat
Abel is a good looking child! I didn't think he would be given his unfortunate toddler stage!
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars while Keanu painted.
Mikezumi had been trying to read when Shannon came in to boast about his gamer skillz!
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Keanu didn't have a waking wish so I sent him to finish his painting which was almost done hoping that would trigger a wish to master painting.
Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening.
Keanu found the bar when he finished his painting.
Keanu danced until the school bus came Mikezumi was heading to the playroom to read.
Shannon's waking wish was to prepare a meal. He's nearly level 7 now and hasn't burned any meals in a long time
Dante Morganthe gave Mikezumi and ice cream maker for looking after his child. I am not sure which child was his since he has several illegitimate kids around town
Shannon interrupted Mikezumi's reading for a flirt
Mikezumi played games after a short flirt session.
This is probably the same face I made while trying to avoid being killed by zombies when I played PS3 games with my son
Shannon broke more space rocks. The family are very close to being worth §500,000 thanks to the money trees and from selling gems and they all have wishes locked in to be worth that much
I let Mikezumi play games for a couple of sim hours then sent her to the kitchen to prepare some mac and cheese.
Keanu did his homework when he got home from school. I got a Prom notice before he got home but I am not sure if I will send him or not. He rolled a wish to go but I know they are not fun for sims. I can see how they are good for story telling purposes but I don't do stories and only care about keeping my sims happy and he's already been to one.
Keanu came home with a wish to set a booby trap
I weakened and gave Shannon a ball. I won't give one to Mikezumi because she needs to be diligent when the kids are there.
Reynaldo and Luther were the first to arrive. I am thinking about TA'ing Reynaldo and Jeffrey because I really don't see a point to having them in town. They are still listed as homeless vagrants and serve no purpose other than to make my skin crawl.
I don't know why the kids choose to do their homework outside. Jeanna arrived while Reynaldo and Luther were doing their homework and joined them.
Jeanna arrived very lonely so I had Mikezumi spend some time with her. Jeffrey arrived and also did his homework outside.
I saw Luther in Shannon's queue for a chat. Reynaldo was heading to the pool.
Sunshine arrived late and went straight inside.
She was heading to the stereo and I had Mikezumi intercept her to tell her to do her homework.
Mikezumi served a snack to the kids who had finished their homework. Abel arrived while the kids were eating and sat right down to his homework.
Mikezumi wandered off to flirt with Shannon so I had Keanu serve Sunshine a snack when she finished her homework.
Keanu danced after serving Abel a snack
I don't know how Sunshine did it but she got really close to the stereo, screamed and waved her arms, and it broke!
Mikezumi came inside to "Talk about problems" but she didn't get a chance because her work day was over. Although all the other kids poofed away, Sunshine didn't.
Shannon got an invitation to Wilhemina Wolff's party. The whole family went. When I saw that Sunshine was still at their home I MC'ed her home.
Mikezumi wanted to introduce herself to Wilhemina.
Dwayne Wolff was preparing hot dogs and Keanu found the VR goggles!
I don't know how many sims live at the Wolff residence but there were lots of sims at the party.
Note to self: Do not buy VR goggles for house! I remember using them in my early simming days and that they are highly addictive to sims!
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
Keanu rolled a wish to meet a vampire so I had him introduce himself to Emalie Van Gould.
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening while Keanu got his waking wish to use the training dummy.
Shannon and Mikezumi had a little fun after gardening
They were getting into the treehouse as Keanu ran to catch the school bus
Mikezumi tossing salmon around. It's not something I would do because I don't want salmon oil all over my kitchen!
Shannon is still working on his wish to break 250 more boards. It's going very slowly with space rocks but that's his choice and I am all about free will
When I checked on Mikezumi she was choosing a book to read.
Keanu went on a field trip to the Science Lab. Daydream Van Gould was chaperone. Sophie Van Gould is sitting beside her.
Alfred Hoppcraft and River also went
I sent Mikezumi out to collect the gems Shannon had generated and she stopped his board breaking for a flirt
Keanu did his homework when he got home from his field trip.
Jeanna Sumari was the first child to arrive.
Keanu came home with a wish to paint.
Jeanna came inside to do her homework.
I'm not regretting giving Shannon a ball yet because he has only used it a few times. Mikezumi, on the other hand, would be playing catch constantly!
Alberto Hoppcraft arrived next. I changed his shoes when he got inside.
Sunshine Grimm headed straight for the bathroom when she arrived. I had Mikezumi intercept her because I know she is a problem child and had broken the stereo the last time she was there.
Jeanna was happily playing outside
Alberto did his homework in the library.
Sunshine did her homework at the table after Mikezumi told her to.
Abel Crumplebottom came by broom
He pulled out a guitar as soon as he got inside but I had Mikezumi tell him to do his homework.
Mikezumi reacted like this when the doorbell rang. I suspect it was the fact that two more kids were arriving that caused the reaction
Evil and clumsy Luther Pok and Reynaldo were the last to arrive.
Keanu fed the kids who had already done their homework while Mikezumi made sure that Luther and Reynaldo did their homework
Sunshine is hard to follow because she goes through walls I found her in the library and she had just broken the computer!
Mikezumi sat her down to "talk about her problems".
Keanu chatted with Abel
The family enjoyed cheesesteak after the kids left
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over dinner. Keanu lost but he got this hit in!
Keanu got a new belt
The family enjoyed waffles for breakfast
Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening
Keanu's waking wish was to talk to someone which he got over breakfast. He painted until the school bus came
Mikezumi's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish
After Shannon had caught a few fish I sent him to the Diner to learn how to grow eggs and cheese.
Then I sent him to the Town Hall to collect his Gardening Hero Trophy
Shannon planted some egg and cheese when he got home
While Shannon was out he rolled a wish to learn the guitar skill
Shannon isn't a virtuoso so found it a little hard going
Romance is much easier for Shannon
Keanu did his homework when he got home
Shannon and Mikezumi had just finished woohooing when I saw kids starting to arrive. According to her work schedule she had the day off and none of the kids had the usual status reports when hovering my cursor over them.
While Mikezumi was telling Reynaldo to do his homework Shannon came out to pinch Jeanna's cheek I was surprised he chose that interaction as he doesn't know her!
Alberto arrived while Shannon was pinching Jeanna's cheek and joined the others at homework.
Abel chose to do his homework outside. Luther stumbled on his way up the stairs
Not only was I not able to see what the kids needed, but the "do homework" interaction that comes with the Family Oriented trait was hit or miss so all Mikezumi could do was talk to Sunshine.
Sunshine went straight to the bathroom after their talk
Abel and Luther played tag in the front yard
After Sunshine broke the tub, the option to "do homework" was back! It was after 7 and the kids were still there so Mikezumi served the family dinner.
Sunshine broke the stereo next!
The option to "talk about problems" wasn't there so I did the only thing available to me and that was to put Sunshine in a timeout!
I felt very sorry for her but it had to be done!
It was now almost 8 and the kids were still there so Shannon fed them.
When 9pm had come and gone I had had enough and told the kids to go home. Mikezumi and Shannon barely had time to watch the stars before bed.
The family enjoyed Eggs Machiavellian for Saturday breakfast. Abel Crumplebottom would be staying for the day.
Keanu helped his parents do the gardening because he will be a YA soon and needs to start working on practical skills.
Mikezumi prepared some PB&J in readiness for Abel's stay.
Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over breakfast
Keanu lost.
I invited River over and Keanu was very happy to see him
Abel did his homework as soon as he arrived.
Mikezumi chatted with him when he was done
He must be a virtuoso because he went for the guitar when Mikezumi told him to improve his skills.
Since installing Supernatural I am not getting as many WA gems from board breaking. I noticed that the epic spawners in Sunset Valley were not producing as many pink diamonds or rainbow gems as normal and I was getting lots of SN gems from them.
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish so I sent him to Moonlight Point.
Back at home, Keanu and River were up to no good
I found Mikezumi reading in the library.
I interrupted her reading so she could give Abel a snack.
Shannon chatted with Abel when he got home
River did his homework between woohoos
Shannon chatted with Mikezumi when Abel went to the spring rider.
Keanu had been painting when I called him in to feed Abel because Shannon and Mikezumi were otherwise engaged
They broke the shower!
I bought Keanu a kicky bag so he could play with River
When Mikezumi went to the game console I had Abel join her
It didn't last long because Keanu wanted to complain about video games
Mikezumi got a text that Chauncey Grimm's party was about to begin. She didn't go until Abel left.
Mikezumi prepared sushi for the family while Abel ate his third and final meal for the day.
Keanu got in River's way
Mikezumi called River to dinner again before she left for the party.
Shannon joined Mikezumi when he was done eating
They watched the stars before mingling
Back at home, Keanu and River were also watching the stars
A few more guests had arrived when I checked back on Shannon and Mikezumi.
When everyone rushed the rocking chairs, I decided it was time for them to come home
The family enjoyed crepes for Sunday breakfast. Abel was meant to be coming but I saw a popup the night before thanking Mikezumi for caring for him and that he was ready to age up.
Keanu helped his parents with the gardening.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to prepare a meal using perfect ingredients so I had her make more crepes because they were down to one serve.
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish but he also had a wish to spar with Keanu locked in from the previous day. It was a very short match and Shannon won.
Shannon asked Mikezumi for a game of catch after sparring. I let them go because he had rolled a wish to play a game with Mikezumi during the night
Mikezumi managed to catch a few of Shannon's throws but it was still quite a brutal game Keanu was working on his wish to master painting in the background.
I left Keanu painting at home and sent Mikezumi and Shannon fishing so Shannon could get his waking wish.
Roy Maldano (teen), another of Mikezumi's toddler charges, arrived while they were fishing.
He joined them and I loved the way they both turned to look at him
Shannon got his wish with a puffer fish but didn't look happy about it
Shannon rolled a wish to catch a perfect puffer fish so I sent him to a new spawner with the right bait.
When Keanu started getting lonely, I had him join his parents at the beach
Keanu asked Mikezumi for a game of catch and they headed to the car! Pappy and River Phoenix arrived just as they were leaving so I stopped them
Keanu didn't look unhappy about having the game of catch cancelled
Mikezumi didn't seem to mind too much either
Shannon and Mikezumi both had swim in their queues and I was a little confused when they ran for the road. The path to the water was down the road a little from the entrance to the beach.
I wish sims would change into their swimwear before they get into the water!
Keanu was relaxing on the beach but I had him join his boyfriend and family in the water.
I saw Shannon in Keanu's queue and was worried that a splash would end in a silly apology but Keanu laughed it off so all was well
Keanu chatted with Sunshine when he got out of the water
I sent the family home and I saw Shannon talking to Keanu. Keanu immediately started working out so Shannon must have told him to improve his skills because Keanu wouldn't have chosen exercise on his own
Mikezumi got a text informing her that Wilhemina Wolff's party was about to begin.
I sent the whole family to Wilhemina Wolff's party. As soon as they arrived Mikezumi tried to get to Wilhemina to criticize a lousy book
I sent Keanu to the kitchen to prepare some grilled cheese.
Shannon didn't let Mikezumi get to Wilhemina
Keanu stopped cooking and I saw "be shooed to next room" in his queue. Apparently Wilhemina wanted a sponge bath in the kitchen sink!
Peanut Ivy stopped Mikezumi for a chat as she was heading to an upstairs bedroom. Shannon was already on his way
Keanu finished cooking after Wilhemina was done with her ablutions
Keanu chatted with Peanut after dinner
I saw Wilhemina eating from the corner of my eye so zoomed in for a better look
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
Gator Wolff (one of Mikezumi's earliest toddlers) arrived late in the evening.
Faith MacDuff stopped Shannon for a dance. Mikezumi was in his queue for a smooch. When I realized she wasn't going to get it, I sent her inside.
She chatted with Gator
Comments
The front porch must be too small to greet sims.
Keanu went straight for woohoo when they got inside! I didn't stop them because it would mean that River went to Prom with a full fun bar.
I saw River in Shannon's queue just as Keanu was beckoning him. I cancelled it!
I changed the boys' clothes and had Keanu chat with River so they wouldn't miss the limo by woohooing again.
The boys looked very handsome
I found Shannon and Mikezumi in an upstairs bedroom.
Shannon received a text that Peanut Ivy's party was about to begin.
"Keanu was deemed ruler of the school! Prom King's never looked so good." When I got that popup I took the Prom photo out of Keanu's inventory

He leveled up before the school bus came
Mikezumi is a show off!
Keanu grabbed a drink before the school bus came but didn't have time to enjoy it.
Shannon found Mikezumi in the kitchen when he was done with the gardening
Shannon's waking wish was to prepare a meal. I had him prepare his favourite, pancakes
Shannon and Mikezumi chatted in the library
They flirted a little after chatting and it ended in the bedroom
Shannon went to the board breaker so I had Mikezumi collect the gems around the breaker and then cut them.
Keanu had no after school class so got home early.
He came home from school with a wish to use the training dummy! He must be preparing for The Matrix

Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over breakfast I couldn't stop and watch them because more kids were arriving.
Luther was lonely when he arrived and went straight to Mikezumi for a talk. I discovered another of his traits! Reynaldo came into the library to do his homework.
Jeanna did her homework on the deck.
I got a popup that Keanu had won the sparring match! I could see disbelief on Shannon's face
Mikezumi went out to chat with Jeanna when she finished her homework.
Reynaldo had been in the pool when Mikezumi called the kids for a snack of PB&J.
Sunshine Grimm went straight to the bathroom when she arrived. She was standing in front of the shower and I worried that she was about to set a trap because she is a "problem child". Mikezumi called her out and told her to do her homework.
Abel Crumplebottom arrived as Mikezumi was heading out to tell Jeffrey Beard to do his homework.
Shannon and Keanu chatted with a couple of the kids after they cleared their dishes. I thought they were playing catch but they must have wanted to meet new sims.
Although it took a while for the kids to poof away, Mikezumi's work day was over so the family sat down to eat
Abel is a good looking child! I didn't think he would be given his unfortunate toddler stage!
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars while Keanu painted.
Mikezumi had been trying to read when Shannon came in to boast about his gamer skillz!

Keanu didn't have a waking wish so I sent him to finish his painting which was almost done hoping that would trigger a wish to master painting.
Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening.
Keanu found the bar when he finished his painting.
Keanu danced until the school bus came Mikezumi was heading to the playroom to read.
Shannon's waking wish was to prepare a meal. He's nearly level 7 now and hasn't burned any meals in a long time
Dante Morganthe gave Mikezumi and ice cream maker for looking after his child. I am not sure which child was his since he has several illegitimate kids around town
Shannon interrupted Mikezumi's reading for a flirt
Mikezumi played games after a short flirt session.
This is probably the same face I made while trying to avoid being killed by zombies when I played PS3 games with my son
Shannon broke more space rocks. The family are very close to being worth §500,000 thanks to the money trees and from selling gems and they all have wishes locked in to be worth that much
I let Mikezumi play games for a couple of sim hours then sent her to the kitchen to prepare some mac and cheese.

Keanu came home with a wish to set a booby trap
I weakened and gave Shannon a ball. I won't give one to Mikezumi because she needs to be diligent when the kids are there.
Reynaldo and Luther were the first to arrive. I am thinking about TA'ing Reynaldo and Jeffrey because I really don't see a point to having them in town. They are still listed as homeless vagrants and serve no purpose other than to make my skin crawl.
I don't know why the kids choose to do their homework outside. Jeanna arrived while Reynaldo and Luther were doing their homework and joined them.
Jeanna arrived very lonely so I had Mikezumi spend some time with her. Jeffrey arrived and also did his homework outside.
I saw Luther in Shannon's queue for a chat. Reynaldo was heading to the pool.
Sunshine arrived late and went straight inside.
She was heading to the stereo and I had Mikezumi intercept her to tell her to do her homework.
Mikezumi served a snack to the kids who had finished their homework. Abel arrived while the kids were eating and sat right down to his homework.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Keanu danced after serving Abel a snack
I don't know how Sunshine did it but she got really close to the stereo, screamed and waved her arms, and it broke!
Mikezumi came inside to "Talk about problems" but she didn't get a chance because her work day was over. Although all the other kids poofed away, Sunshine didn't.
Shannon got an invitation to Wilhemina Wolff's party. The whole family went. When I saw that Sunshine was still at their home I MC'ed her home.
Mikezumi wanted to introduce herself to Wilhemina.
Dwayne Wolff was preparing hot dogs and Keanu found the VR goggles!
I don't know how many sims live at the Wolff residence but there were lots of sims at the party.
Note to self: Do not buy VR goggles for house! I remember using them in my early simming days and that they are highly addictive to sims!
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
Keanu rolled a wish to meet a vampire so I had him introduce himself to Emalie Van Gould.

Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening while Keanu got his waking wish to use the training dummy.
Shannon and Mikezumi had a little fun after gardening
They were getting into the treehouse as Keanu ran to catch the school bus
Mikezumi tossing salmon around. It's not something I would do because I don't want salmon oil all over my kitchen!
Shannon is still working on his wish to break 250 more boards. It's going very slowly with space rocks but that's his choice and I am all about free will
When I checked on Mikezumi she was choosing a book to read.
Keanu went on a field trip to the Science Lab. Daydream Van Gould was chaperone. Sophie Van Gould is sitting beside her.
Alfred Hoppcraft and River also went
I sent Mikezumi out to collect the gems Shannon had generated and she stopped his board breaking for a flirt

Jeanna Sumari was the first child to arrive.
Keanu came home with a wish to paint.
Jeanna came inside to do her homework.
I'm not regretting giving Shannon a ball yet because he has only used it a few times. Mikezumi, on the other hand, would be playing catch constantly!
Alberto Hoppcraft arrived next. I changed his shoes when he got inside.
Sunshine Grimm headed straight for the bathroom when she arrived. I had Mikezumi intercept her because I know she is a problem child and had broken the stereo the last time she was there.
Jeanna was happily playing outside
Alberto did his homework in the library.
Sunshine did her homework at the table after Mikezumi told her to.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

He pulled out a guitar as soon as he got inside but I had Mikezumi tell him to do his homework.
Mikezumi reacted like this when the doorbell rang. I suspect it was the fact that two more kids were arriving that caused the reaction
Evil and clumsy Luther Pok and Reynaldo were the last to arrive.
Keanu fed the kids who had already done their homework while Mikezumi made sure that Luther and Reynaldo did their homework
Sunshine is hard to follow because she goes through walls I found her in the library and she had just broken the computer!
Mikezumi sat her down to "talk about her problems".
Keanu chatted with Abel
The family enjoyed cheesesteak after the kids left
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over dinner. Keanu lost but he got this hit in!

Shannon and Mikezumi did the gardening
Keanu's waking wish was to talk to someone which he got over breakfast. He painted until the school bus came
Mikezumi's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish
After Shannon had caught a few fish I sent him to the Diner to learn how to grow eggs and cheese.
Then I sent him to the Town Hall to collect his Gardening Hero Trophy
Shannon planted some egg and cheese when he got home
While Shannon was out he rolled a wish to learn the guitar skill
Shannon isn't a virtuoso so found it a little hard going
Romance is much easier for Shannon
Keanu did his homework when he got home
Shannon and Mikezumi had just finished woohooing when I saw kids starting to arrive. According to her work schedule she had the day off and none of the kids had the usual status reports when hovering my cursor over them.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Alberto arrived while Shannon was pinching Jeanna's cheek and joined the others at homework.
Abel chose to do his homework outside. Luther stumbled on his way up the stairs
Not only was I not able to see what the kids needed, but the "do homework" interaction that comes with the Family Oriented trait was hit or miss so all Mikezumi could do was talk to Sunshine.
Sunshine went straight to the bathroom after their talk
Abel and Luther played tag in the front yard
After Sunshine broke the tub, the option to "do homework" was back! It was after 7 and the kids were still there so Mikezumi served the family dinner.
Sunshine broke the stereo next!
The option to "talk about problems" wasn't there so I did the only thing available to me and that was to put Sunshine in a timeout!
I felt very sorry for her but it had to be done!
It was now almost 8 and the kids were still there so Shannon fed them.
When 9pm had come and gone I had had enough and told the kids to go home. Mikezumi and Shannon barely had time to watch the stars before bed.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

Keanu helped his parents do the gardening because he will be a YA soon and needs to start working on practical skills.
Mikezumi prepared some PB&J in readiness for Abel's stay.
Shannon rolled a wish to spar with Keanu over breakfast
Keanu lost.
I invited River over and Keanu was very happy to see him
Abel did his homework as soon as he arrived.
Mikezumi chatted with him when he was done
He must be a virtuoso because he went for the guitar when Mikezumi told him to improve his skills.
Since installing Supernatural I am not getting as many WA gems from board breaking. I noticed that the epic spawners in Sunset Valley were not producing as many pink diamonds or rainbow gems as normal and I was getting lots of SN gems from them.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Back at home, Keanu and River were up to no good
I found Mikezumi reading in the library.
I interrupted her reading so she could give Abel a snack.
Shannon chatted with Abel when he got home
River did his homework between woohoos
Shannon chatted with Mikezumi when Abel went to the spring rider.
Keanu had been painting when I called him in to feed Abel because Shannon and Mikezumi were otherwise engaged
They broke the shower!

When Mikezumi went to the game console I had Abel join her
It didn't last long because Keanu wanted to complain about video games
Mikezumi got a text that Chauncey Grimm's party was about to begin. She didn't go until Abel left.
Mikezumi prepared sushi for the family while Abel ate his third and final meal for the day.
Keanu got in River's way
Mikezumi called River to dinner again before she left for the party.
Shannon joined Mikezumi when he was done eating
They watched the stars before mingling
Back at home, Keanu and River were also watching the stars
A few more guests had arrived when I checked back on Shannon and Mikezumi.
When everyone rushed the rocking chairs, I decided it was time for them to come home
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

Keanu helped his parents with the gardening.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to prepare a meal using perfect ingredients so I had her make more crepes because they were down to one serve.
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish but he also had a wish to spar with Keanu locked in from the previous day. It was a very short match and Shannon won.
Shannon asked Mikezumi for a game of catch after sparring. I let them go because he had rolled a wish to play a game with Mikezumi during the night
Mikezumi managed to catch a few of Shannon's throws but it was still quite a brutal game Keanu was working on his wish to master painting in the background.
I left Keanu painting at home and sent Mikezumi and Shannon fishing so Shannon could get his waking wish.
Roy Maldano (teen), another of Mikezumi's toddler charges, arrived while they were fishing.
He joined them and I loved the way they both turned to look at him
Shannon got his wish with a puffer fish but didn't look happy about it
Shannon rolled a wish to catch a perfect puffer fish so I sent him to a new spawner with the right bait.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Keanu asked Mikezumi for a game of catch and they headed to the car! Pappy and River Phoenix arrived just as they were leaving so I stopped them
Keanu didn't look unhappy about having the game of catch cancelled
Mikezumi didn't seem to mind too much either
Shannon and Mikezumi both had swim in their queues and I was a little confused when they ran for the road. The path to the water was down the road a little from the entrance to the beach.
I wish sims would change into their swimwear before they get into the water!
Keanu was relaxing on the beach but I had him join his boyfriend and family in the water.
I saw Shannon in Keanu's queue and was worried that a splash would end in a silly apology but Keanu laughed it off so all was well
Keanu chatted with Sunshine when he got out of the water
I sent the family home and I saw Shannon talking to Keanu. Keanu immediately started working out so Shannon must have told him to improve his skills because Keanu wouldn't have chosen exercise on his own
Mikezumi got a text informing her that Wilhemina Wolff's party was about to begin.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I sent Keanu to the kitchen to prepare some grilled cheese.
Shannon didn't let Mikezumi get to Wilhemina
Keanu stopped cooking and I saw "be shooed to next room" in his queue. Apparently Wilhemina wanted a sponge bath in the kitchen sink!
Peanut Ivy stopped Mikezumi for a chat as she was heading to an upstairs bedroom. Shannon was already on his way
Keanu finished cooking after Wilhemina was done with her ablutions
Keanu chatted with Peanut after dinner
I saw Wilhemina eating from the corner of my eye so zoomed in for a better look
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
Gator Wolff (one of Mikezumi's earliest toddlers) arrived late in the evening.
Faith MacDuff stopped Shannon for a dance. Mikezumi was in his queue for a smooch. When I realized she wasn't going to get it, I sent her inside.
She chatted with Gator
