2.03 – Just Keep Skilling

Last time, Jess had a baby boy she named Fiyero.

So sorry it’s been such a long time; computer issues are now mostly fixed, except my laptop has not battery so isn’t very portable. Hoping to get a new one for Christmas.

Buying up more buildings; it’s kind of ridiculous how much money they have so quickly.

I gave Jess the Suave Seller LTR; I haven’t dealt much with the Consignment Store, but I’m hoping it helps her raise levels in the painting career a bit faster.

The simselves are at the consignment store; Pink is raking the leaves while Rochelle plays.

Jess rolled the wish to play in the leaves with Rochelle, so we grant it.

Evil Rochelle is taking pleasure in Jess being stinky.

Jess has now wished to be best friends with Rochelle, so her stinky self chats.

Haha, I love this explanation. So true.

Wow, the Suave Seller LTR really helps! Or maybe it’s the consignment store – I still haven’t figured how much more you get from selling stuff at the store rather than from the easel or wherever.

She also has the Very Creative LTR – these guys earn ridiculous amounts of LTH, stacking moodlets is easy when you can control everyone.

This makes me laugh; Serenity is Chance’s mother in their legacy, but in mine she’s younger than him.

Chance helps out with the baby, also – he wants more, but is contenting himself with just the one.

I haven’t seen this popup before, so cute!

It’s Fiyero’s birthday!

He is such a cutie! Chance’s hair and Phoenix’s eyes. I’m not sure whether it’s Jess’ or Chance’s skintone – or maybe they have the same one.

Grandpa Bruce gets right onto the toddler skills. And a great shot of his scorpion tattoo.

Jess is out fishing in the river; only two more points to go and she will have mastered her first skill for her LTW!

Daddy helps Fiyero learn to potty.

Heather, you’re a grown up!

Claw Attack!

Lots of toddler spam, since this is the only toddler we have this generation. Fiyero is so cute.

Luna apparently has a son she’s drifting away from. He has her hair.

Applejack has well and truly moved on from losing Jess.

The adults are boring at the moment, they keep rolling wishes to skill:

Chance is chatting up Viola Danevbie; she’s his boss, and he’s angling for a promotion. She is also his great aunt… possibly this amuses me far too much.

Viola and Luna must be Romantic Interests with this random guy (not Pilot, just wearing the same hair). They both reacted badly when he started flirting with the elder in pigtails. You ditched these lovely ladies for some elderly woman? Bad choice, dude!

Chance is not deterred, and asks Viola for a promotion.

She agrees!

His LTW is to max the Symphonic branch, so we pick that.

Taking a break from her own skilling, Jess teaches Fiyero to talk.

Fiyero is having none of it.

But he pays attention anyway.

Bruce rarely sleeps these days, since he beelines for the rocking chair everytime I leave him on free will for a minute.

I took these pictures a few weeks ago…I have no idea what this picture is for. Phoenix maxed sculpting a while ago, so maybe a few masterpieces?

Moar toddler skilling! Gets Bruce out of the rocking chair, at least.

I haven’t seen this in an action queue before…

  

LMAO, I have not seen this before! It’s brilliant!

And then she gets this moodlet. Too cute!

Chance and Jess roll wishes for one another all the time. I think we picked the right guy for Jess.

*facepalm* Apparently moving in before the wedding doesn’t help erradicate these wishes. You already live with her, Chance!

Hopeless Romantics are so cute. This is the “gaze into eyes” interaction.

And then Chance swoons. They are so cute together.

Good thing they used protection 😉

With the elders, I’m pretty much just fulfilling their wishes as they’re rolled. Phoenix wanted to go swimming.

Haha, awesome name for an opportunity!

Chance practically lives at the festival grounds; he’s always playing for tips, and this and the library are the best places for large groups of sims.

Cute pout!

Not so cute…

Now we know where Fiyero got his pout from.

These two are still very much in love.

He’s such a whiny toddler.

But when he realises no-one cares about his whining when nothing is wrong…

He’s happy to play with his toys.

He loves his pony.

We’re renaming the rabbitholes the family owns. I don’t often do this, but it’s fun to have the town named after the Rourkes.

Sorry Jess, no can do 😦

Just your everyday Saturday ni-wait, where is Fiyero going??

Just like the Maloneys, toddler Fiyero randomly chose to play in the garden…

It’s Spooky Day! Once again, Chance will be visiting the festival.

Meanwhile, Jess has been invited to a party at the simself house – apparently these guys are the only ones who party in Riverview.

Chance challenges Pilot Inspektor to a pie eating contest. Two other randoms join in.

ROFL, Jess dressed up as a hotdog!
And she’s blue; she snuck some magic jellybeans at the alchemy shop.

Rochelle is a mermaid. These two are great friends.

Pink is a zebra, I think?

Starla is a bunny without ears.
And Heather refused to change into a costume, so I didn’t get a picture.

Chance plays for tips once again; we’re doing all this for a reason, since we don’t really need the money.

Bruce rolled the wish to retire, so I let him. We don’t need his income anyway.

Hot dog eating a (burned) hot dog. Small things amuse me…

Chance has earned over $1000 playing for tips, and completed the Gen 2 mini challenge! +3 points 😀

 

And on that note, we’ll end this chapter. Next up we’ll see child Fiyero!
