3.07 – All the Skills

Previously, the family enjoyed the winter festival, Boq found a boyfriend, and Yttrium gave birth to twins Marius and Eponine. We also lost the two elders, Jess and Chance, within a few days of one another.

I’ve been home sick for a few days, so been playing Sims quite a bit. Need to get out some chapters so I don’t get too far ahead in game!

Fiyero had taken it upon himself to learn some athletic skill. And he chose the ballet barre to learn. LAMO, the amateur animations are hilarious.

Sam got a promotion.

Skeet Bayless asked if he could bring his kids over for a play date. So this is Giovanni Bayless. Unfortunate looking child.

Joe Hunter is still here, he must have spent the night. The three of them can play tag together. I felt sorry for Joe in that snowsuit on a gorgeous spring day, so I changed it for him.

It’s Cosette’s birthday! On a full moon, in the darkest corner of the yard, of course. I had to quickly add some lights around her. She rolled Perfectionist.

She’s very pretty, these two make pretty babies!

Boq is a crappy evil sim. He keeps rolling friendly wishes.

Stop it, Fiyero, you already have 3 children. That’s two more than your parents were allowed!

The babies are very popular. Both of these guys came in autonomously.

Oops, guess it’s not a good idea to have the simbot garden in the rain.

As she wishes, Cosette gets a part-time job.

Since Chance died before he could finish teaching Boq to drive, Yttrium takes on the responsibility. She and Fiyero have both wished to teach Cosette, we’ll see who has the time.

Apparently Fiyero has promised to protect someone, not sure who.

Naw, it was Yttrium. They are so cute.

Sam is moving into the Racket house. I thought she was dating Shark, but the popup says Dennis…

Since he got too stressed to finish learning to drive, Boq is making friends with Emerald Greenwood.

He heartfarts her and finds her blindingly stunning; apparently Boq is bisexual.

Fiyero is at level 7 of the Inventing Career.

He’s now this close to maxing Logic and therefore learning the final potion from the chemistry set.

Oh wait, no; that was L9. Two more potions to learn.

Yttrium is now teaching Cosette to drive, since Fiyero is working on the potions.

Jess’ first haunting!

LMAO, Fiyero just ate a fly. He’s almost as bad as absent minded sims with the dropping of his queue.

ZOMG, Boq finally shows his Evil side! He played with Eponine, then stole candy from her. Poor bubby.

Sam has another RI.

Prom is soon!

Yttrium is exploring the catacombs after work, because we bought a partnership in them.

Whoa, check out what Fiyero just rolled! My simmies are worth almost $1 million already!

It’s the twins’ birthday!

Eponine first; she has Phoenix/Jess’ pink hair! Also Yttrium’s gold eyes.

Marius has Chance/Fiyero’s hair again, but Jess’ grey eyes.

They are both so cute.

We get right onto the toddler training. Fiyero has wished to teach Eponine to talk and Marius to walk. Yttrium hasn’t rolled any wishes.

As per the rules, I will be leaving the twins to their own devices as much as possible. They will both be going to boarding school when they age up. Cosette is the heir for generation 4.

Meanwhile, Cosette is working out her stress playing soccer.

Eponine is such a cutie. Though why she’s in Cosette’s room is beyo-oh. Toybox behind her, boat in front. That’s why.

Also, I have decided to allow the twins to keep their Ifs; we want to make one real at some point in the challenge, so why not for a spare to marry?

Yttrium got a promotion! This is L7 now.

Fiyero starts his wish to teach Eponine to walk, while Cosette potty trains her little brother.

Sam got another promotion. Poor Tam hasn’t had any popups.

It’s Love Day!

Twinnies in their matching onesies. In case you can’t read the writing, Eponine has “Sleeping Beauty” and Marius has “Prince Charming”.

Leaving Nessa to look after the babies, Fiyero took his wife and teenage daughter out to the festival. Boq went separately, having planned to meet up with boyfriend Parker.

Greeting card photo first!
Lol, they’re all wearing the same colours.

Yay, Boq has the ability to ask Parker to the prom!

He said yes, of course.

And then he stuck his hand inside Boq’s chest, to ensure Boq’s heart is his. o.O

Fiyero wished to kiss someone, so of course he chose his wife.

He then went off to get his face painted, while Yttrium wanted to dance.

Oops, try again.

Cosette wanted to play horseshoes; since her family are all busy, she’s playing with Goodwin Goode, who seems to be a firefighter.

Hehe, Happy Clown indeed.

And then he gets a kiss from Kissing Booth Attendant Layla McGinnis. Though I was too slow to catch the actual kiss.

Boq and Parker did the Love Tester, and got Mild, aw.

Though they still managed to sit at the same table when they went to eat at the bistro.

Having had enough of the festival, Yttrium continues teaching Cosette to drive.

Back at home, Nessa has a favourite toddler. I have to force her to take care of Eponine, but as soon as Marius whimpers, Nessa is there.

Cosette had to go home because she got too stressed, so I sent Yttrium back to the festival so they could use the love tester.

LOL, Wild!

Eponine is trying to kill her IF. We renamed it Valjean.

Cosette chose this way to relieve her stress. Works for me!

Boq sculpted this very cool fish; we’re keeping it.

Someone is haunting the chair…I think it’s Chance.

Yep, he came out of the chair and went to the sandpit.

Hey, we have a gnome grave! This is Mars – the only Mysterious Mr Gnome found thus far. I’m still counting him in the points – can’t help that those gnomes die now.

Tam has a popup! She got a promotion.

Prom is tonight! Cosette is Gussying Up.

Her prom wear 😀

And Boq’s.

Prom spam:


Ooh, who’s Ellis?

I love this shot. Marius is so cute.

Boq’s school collection, with prom photo and crown.

And Cosette’s, with her elementary school ballet trophy also.

Haha, I had a feeling this would be the case. Good work, Yttrium!

Okay, how did the simbot manage to short out inside the house? No water anywhere around!

Good thing Fiyero’s home to fix her.

Yttrium got a promotion! That’s L8, two more to go.

Cosette and Boq play hopscotch. He’s cackling evilly over her failure.

nraas Debug helped me fix up Bruce, so he’s a ghost again, yay.

He chose to nap in Boq’s unused bed.

Jess is also out tonight…also napping.

But later she haunts the sculpting station – maybe she doesn’t like Boq taking over her territory?

…this is weird. Boq chose to massage Fiyero. Probably the only time we’ll ever see Fiyero in the sleepwear I designed for him. Insane sims…

 

That’s all we have, folks. Next chapter will be the last one before the spouse poll for Generation 4! This generation has gone so quickly.
