Tess Mimoza: Female Adult | Popularity | Leo | Become The Law
Todd Mimoza: Male Adult | Knowledge | Taurus | Become Criminal Mastermind
Stephanie Mimoza: Female Toddler | Capricorn
Last Time: Stephanie Mimoza was born and eventually turned into a toddler. The triplets left for university. Parties were thrown by Tess and lots of skilling took place.
We get to start this round with the gypsy woman dropping off a lap. This is pretty exciting for the family and while no one ended up making a wish this round, next round they will probably wish for money, at least, to remodel and add onto the house as the heir and his intended will be home from college.
Todd needed body skills for work, and he wanted to get fit at the same time. Luckily those two things go together, although he gets fit faster than he gains the body skills he needed. Eventually, he reached his body skill goals and his fitness goals and life is good for Todd.
Tess, who is in her workout clothes from playing soccer with Todd, goes to the grocery store. She is into Cuisine and realized they were out of food. That has stopped being as big of an issue now that the teen boys are out of the house, but they still need food sometimes. As a side note, I really like Tess' workout clothes.
It was time for Stephanie's birthday so, Tess being Tess, threw a party and invited the triplets as well as Bob and his wife and friends from around the neighborhood. Of course, everyone decides they want to dance.
Tess brought little Stephanie to the cake and they blew out the candles together. I did not get Stephanie's grow up picture, but she turned into a cute little girl and managed to reach 8 charisma skills as a toddler.
The party turns into a hula party, although Elyse Yerazig didn't seem to get that memo as she is the only one dancing to her own beat.
Here is Stephanie as a girl. She actually grew up into that outfit, which I thought was adorable and suited her perfectly. It's a miracle when that happens in the Sims, but sometimes the system does pick out cute outfits. Stephanie is teaching her little girl to study.
Tess was finally high enough in the Law career to get the career reward and used it to help get her charisma built up. She, unfortunately, due to a chance card, lost a skill and still needed charismas points, so it was good she earned it.
I realized the upstairs of the house was a little weird and lacked any room to really grow into. Also, only one person could play chess at a time. So I remodeled some and it caused some strange issues. Every time I switch levels in the house the sims popped out of whatever they were doing, they also would randomly stand somewhere and yell at me they couldn't move. So I removed everything again, sold some stuff, burninated the ground and then put everything back and all was resolved. Not sure exactly what caused it, but at least Tess and her daughter were able to get some logic skills in.
There is also now a phone upstairs as well, and Todd took time to try and get another family friend. Tess needs one more for another promotion and she has been slacking a little on gaining friends this round.
Stephanie finally came home with an A+, which met a huge with for her. She ran in to tell her dad, who had just gotten off the phone, and he was very proud of his little girl. I love how they cheer for the kids when they reach this.
Stephanie brought a friend home, due to a change card, and spent some time playing with her. She has become Stephanie's first non-family friend. This is, I believe, one of the girls I built to fill the adoption pool. She has freckles thanks to ASimWen's sims that I have downloaded.
I could not remember what the criminal reward gave you skill wise so I had Tess ask Todd for lessons. It's creativity and while Tess didn't NEED a creativity skill, it gave them some time together. You can also see we finally have the reward objects in the house and not on the porch.
And with that, we are done with another season for the Mimoza household, at least the first one. We are getting ready to head back into university now which will see all of the kids coming home for the next round. Sadly, even though she's VERY close, Tess still hasn't gotten the hobby plaque for cuisine yet, but she should get it next round.

Tess and Todd are doing great and little Stephanie is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteI do love the career rewards for skilling, :)
I always kind of "forget" to use the career rewards. Not because I don't remember they give skills but because I typically forget to look for them and get them. I'm trying to be better at remembering it now, and use the "give lessons in" a little more often. I really like Stephanie and I'll be interested to see what she wants when she gets older.
ReplyDeleteAwww love the little pink haired girl with the Strickland freckles. :) That looks like a beautiful house. My weakness is I am not a good builder, I often look at floor plans on the internet and try to build that way.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I do as well Wen, especially if I'm tearing down and building it up new. I try to find a nice floor plan to use. This house is a Maxis house though, but it needs a lot of work to make it playable. It seems like it's in good shape now, but will probably be edited again when the heir moves home as there isn't a ton of room.
