Hello! And welcome back! We’re making quick progress on this house! Value-wise, the house is done, we just need to decorate! Adopting is done, just waiting for the kids to complete their aspirations. But we have one down and three to go. And Kassidy only needs 3 more promotions before she’s at the top of the writer career!

I found Kassidy and Yesenia autonomously woohooing. Cute

Yesenia is such a good mom. She listens when I have the toddlers ask her for stuff.

Manipulation at it’s finest.

Awe, the girls had a cute dance party together!

Brynn had a birthday!

And here she is after her makeover!

She’s given the social butterfly aspiration. It’s my least favorite one. So yay…

Naomi aged up! She’s so cute!! Nice to have the black hair back in the family!

This came through the MCCC notifications. Ghost pregnancy? What?

Gemma had a baby boy! Welcome to the family Grant!

Fun Fact: Apparently this is the second Grant Swift. There’s another one that ages up to a YA later in the play session lol

It’s baby time!

 

And we welcomed yet ANOTHER girl into the family. Everyone say hi to Maisie.

Darren found on of the new closets that we added. Looks like he’s having fun!

Naomi is upset that she has a new sibling. Well that’s too bad. You’ll have another one coming soon.

And we got right to work on that

This is Brynn becoming BFFs with this guy!

Kass got a promotion! That brings us to level 8!

Kiara aged up! I forgot about her birthday… Whoops…

She ended up with the creative aspiration

And after over 10 failed attempts at getting pregnant, I finally got fed up and decided that it was glitched and I just cheated the pregnancy into existence. So here we are.

Gemma and Alysha finally tied the knot!

And Sadie got remarried

To another Tanaka… weird. If you remember she was originally married to Lester Tanaka.

after looking at their family tree, Leland is Lester’s nephew. Which means that Sadie married her kids’ cousin.

Awkward.

And that’s another child aspiration complete!

Also, Kado was flirty the entire time they were together. What a creep

Maisie aged up. And I forgot. Again. I’m really terrible about birthdays in this play session lol

Naomi is working on her final toddler skill! All the other skills are maxed

Look! I remembered a birthday!

And here he is after his makeover! I love him by the way. I’ll probably be using him for another challenge at one point

I keep forgetting that Kassidy needs some logic skill for her career. Which I still think is weird, but here we are

And this is Naomi maxing her final skill! Top-Notch toddler here we come!

It’s baby time!

But first, a birthday!

And here she is after her makeover! She’ll be working on the Whiz Kid aspiration.

And then we were off to the hospital!

Welcome to the family, Laurel! So. Many. Girls.

And that’s enough for this update! Join us next time for more drifting fun!

Also, as I was adding sims to the family tree, I realized that I already had a Laurel Swift. So when she aged up, we will be renaming her lol

Extra Bits:

And his sister, June

This is Skylar John. Nora and Spencer’s son

And his twin sister, Raina

This is Chaim Tanaka, Sadie and Lester’s youngest

And this is Cameron Jr. Cameron and Suzanne’s youngest
