Last time, in her desperation for money Daphne had impulsively proposed to a man she barely knows. However, at the same time she has developed some feeling’s for her sister’s husband. I don’t see how this could end well for anyone.
Daphne decided on her signature red color for her wedding dress. All eyes will be on her for sure! Skylar is looking pretty good in his suit as well.Poor Daniel isn’t excited about his mother getting married. I don’t think he and Skylar have spent any time together so they’ve not gotten to know each other.
Daniel bawls his eyes out and typical Daphne is no where to be seen to tell him it’s ok 🙁
Brielle’s outfits are always…unique. At least she is wearing the gen’s color for the wedding! And she seems to be pregnant.Probably should have given Abigail a bath before the wedding. Too late now!Everybody looks around for seat as the ceremony begins! Daniel is done crying and is just playing games on his phone. Not really the tender family moment you might dream of.Daphne is going through the motions but she’s not looking at Skylar…She’s just watching Willow and Otis! Daphe : #$%&. I can’t do this. Skylar : Uh, honey? Are you okay?Daphne : No, I’m not okay. I have bills to pay and a kid to raise. But I can’t go through with this. Your money isn’t worth it. I love someone else.Skylar : Wha-what do you mean? What money? I thought you were loaded.Daphne : I’ve been living with my sister because I can’t pay my bills. I thought I could go through with this to get the electricity back on, but it’s not worth it. Skylar : Poor? Uhh, I just remembered I’ve…got somewhere else to be.Brielle : Daphne! I didn’t know things were so bad. Daphne : Well, I’ve been trying to fix it but I’m just not making quite enough…As the wedding guests broke up to gossip about the big flop of a wedding, Brielle pulled Daphne aside with a briefcase full of cash.Smooth Daphne, no is paying any attention.Brielle : It’s just a small bribe from some friends. Just sway the vote for them and the cash will keep coming.Daphne ditched her wedding guests and headed to a bar to unwind.
Apparently their butler works the bar now. He had to quit working for Daphne when she couldn’t pay his salary.
The next day Daphne, Willow, and Otis head out to the local romance festival. Willow : I don’t know exactly what happened at your wedding, but we’ll find you a nice rebound here.Daphne is feeling artistic and takes a stab at making a painting as a souvenir. Maybe we’ll just leave it here.She then jumps straight into flirting with the first guy she meets.His name is Neelesh and seems interested.Daphne isn’t very discreet and one of her past flings, Daichi, sees her with Neelesh.She makes a bit of a spectacle of it upsetting everyone around her.But she’s willing to give other guys a chance. She didn’t both getting this guy’s name.Daphne : Happy Romance Festival!Otis finally notices her antics and tries to look away.Willow is not impressed.Willow : Daphe, it’s been great having you live with us and all. I know you’ve not sorted out your electricity yet but, you have to move out. Daphne : But I… Willow : Now. I’m checking into the hospital tonight and when we get home you need to be gone.So Daphne and Daniel packed up and headed over to Wynonna’s.Come to find out, Wynonna is also pregnant. Daphne hadn’t even heard the news.Daphne : Why didn’t you tell me? Wynonna : It’s Kirk’s kid. It wasn’t planned and when we found out he kinda panicked. I’ve not really been telling people in case Kirk came back…but looks like it’s just me now. Wynonna made herself a sandwich only to find Daphne passed out on the floor. Guess it was a long day having to move again.Wynonna managed to get Daphne into the spare bed. But with limited space Daniel had to share with her.Daphne stopped by Willow’s again the next day to see the newborn. Daphne : You did it! You had a baby!Willow : Yeah, no biggie. Just excruciating pain and plenty of drugs. You know.Daphne gets to say hi to her new nephew Silas. Before grabbing their bags and Daphne and Daniel finally head home.With the money from Brielle, Daphne can pay her bills again!Home sweet home!Daphne wastes no time making herself at home by watching tv in her underwear now that she is back at her own house.But there are future bills to pay so Daphne arranges a meeting with a man named Aleki Akana. Although this meeting shouldn’t be in the spotlight, Daphne is still irritated that Brytani Cho is getting more recognition than she is.Carefully looking around that no one in the crowded club is paying attention, Daphne accepts the briefcase from Aleki. She’s…really not good at this. I think half the people in the club saw her accept the bribe.Daphne listens as Aleki outlines what to vote for and Daphne half listens as she mentally plans out how to spend her cash. Before she heads home she admires the celebrity tiles in Del Sol Valley. One day, she wants as much recognition as Brytani Cho. One day she’ll have her own tile on these streets.
That’s it for this post. A failed wedding for Daphne but she’s solved her money problems. Just not in a very legal way. Hopefully she’ll get her act together and be a better role model for Daniel.
Last time, Daphne has used up all the money Valerie left her and now she’s moved in with her sister Willow while she figures out how to pay the bills.
Sherlock is not sure what he thinks of these new furry animals.Daphne heads out to the bar with her best friend Brielle to get some votes. They run into one of Daphne’s one night stands, Ritvik. It’s awkward.Only made worse when Wistarr shows up. Wistarr : Out of money and living with your pregnant sister? Daphne : Still a stuck up goodie-goodie?Determined to ignore her sister, Daphne introduces herself to the first good looking guy she sees, Skylar Horne.Skylar : I’ve not seen you around here before. I work at the library next door so I’m here often. Daphne swoons at the idea of a man with money.Brielle…nothing about that is ok. Skylar doesn’t even seem to notice how inappropriate Brielle is. He only has eyes for Daphne.They step away from the bar and have a private conversation by the fire.Daphne : So, a librarian huh? Sounds really sophisticated.Daphne, you know librarians don’t actually make that much money…right?She goes in for a successful first kiss!Maybe it’s the clothes but Daphne seems to think Skylar is loaded. She pulls out all the stops to win him over.She takes him home that evening. To her sister’s house…without any kind of warning. Daphne is always keeping it classy. Willow decides to sleep in the bed Daniel had been using. Maybe she and Otis aren’t getting along too well.Daniel gets into the only empty bed. Once he falls asleep Willow falls asleep beside him. Poor Willow, I don’t know why she won’t sleep in the same bed as her husband but she seems really lonely.
It’s Spooky Day! Daphne dresses up as a maid for the occasion.
Willow wakes up and just heads straight for the fridge. Forget the costumes.
Daphne is in a really good mood that morning and pesters Willow with baby name suggestions.
Aw, a little sister bonding over the little baby to be born.
Daniel decides to be a hotdog for Spooky day. He’s sticking to that yellow theme!
Poor Sherlock is still not fitting in among Willow’s pets. Mika doesn’t look like she’s very impressed with having a robot in the house.
Daphne is giving a speech for work. It’s her time to shine.
But…no one listened to her. How is Daphne going to get promoted and pay her bills if she stays a nameless politician like this?She returns home in a foul mood. Obviously plain hard work is not going to get electricity restored to her house.The next day she invites Skylar out for a date. She’s decided to take a different tactic to get some money.This guy is really judging them for flirting on the sidewalk. Daphne : Woo, you really know how to sweep a girl off her feet.
Daphne : I know this is all moving kinda quick but…let’s make it official.
Skylar : YES! I’ve got a girlfriend!They giggle like a couple of teenagers together.Daphne : But, is that really enough? I want to be more than just your girlfriend you know.Skylar : Are you…?Daphne : Will you marry me?Skylar : You…brought a ring? On a second date?Skylar : Of COURSE I’ll marry you! That doesn’t look like love in Daphne’s eyes, but dollar signs :/ Oh Daphne. What have you done now?Poor Daniel is having nightmares most nights at Willow’s house 🙁
Daphne decides wandering around Willow’s house in her underwear is acceptable.
Otis : Don’t look, don’t look. That’s your wife’s sister. Daphne know exactly what she is doing here….She walks into the bathroom and starts hyperventilating. Is she embarrassed about wandering around in her underwear, or worrying about marrying a guy for money?Otis follows her into the bathroom! Otis : Hey, you okay? Daphne : Me? Yeah, sure, fine. Never better!
Meanwhile Willow is cooking in the kitchen.
But she is not ignorant to Daphne’s antics. They grew up together and Willow knows exactly what kind of girl Daphne is.Willow : A fire ought to bring them running out of the bathroom. Uh, Willow…are you ok?I mean, everyone did come running…I’m really concerned about Willow here. She’s running off to leave everyone to die to a fire she purposefully started!Daphne is able to put out the fire with her mother’s freeze ray, thankfully. And everyone thinks it was an accident so no harm done…I guess?Daphne goes out to the hallway to summon everyone back in. She takes the time to put on clothes at least before she goes out of the apartment. First thing she does is check on the pregnant woman. Willow is still looking a bit…murderous here.After Willow and Daniel go inside Daphne make a flirtatious remark to Otis which has him swooning. DAPHNE!Daphne : I’m glad you’re safe, Otis.
Daphne is just all kinds of trouble. Marrying a guy for his money, flirting with her sister’s husband. She is out of control.
Last time Daphne spent a lot of time dating a string of men that she never intended to see again. The only role model in Daniel’s life seems to be the butler >.< Unfortunately for Daniel the rose rules say Daphne won’t get married until she’s an elder so don’t expect this chaos to end anytime soon.
Daniel got home from school but it doesn’t look like he had a good day.Must not have been too bad since he can still look up and appreciate the clouds 🙂Studiously working on a school project.Daphne : Who’s a stinky dog? That’s right! You are!The butler came over to help Daniel with his project since Daphne was more concerned with bathing Abigail.An impressive solar system display. Good work, Daniel!Daphne decided to hang out with her friends at the karaoke bar in the city.It doesn’t look like they are very good, but at least people are still in the room.Daphne steps out to listen to someone else sing.Oh, and they hit it off right away. Before planting a kiss on him she did learn that his name is Daichi Watanabe.She steps out with Daichi but runs into an alien. She takes a personal affront to his friendliness.Daphne : I’m nothing like you. I’m not a freaky alien!The transformer actually works for once and removes the alien’s unique skin tone. Daphne nearly busts a gut at this random alien’s predicament.But despite this momentary distraction Daphne drags Daichi over to a nearby bush for a bit of quality time….out in the middle of the city….on the sidewalk…At least she had fun. Maybe find a room next time Daphne???The next day Daphne takes Abigail and Daniel to the park. Not for their benefit, but so she can protest. Daphne : SIMOLEONS FOR EVERYONE!!!! I DESERVE MORE MONEY!Guadalupe Lothario : Who is making so much racket? Daniel : It’s just my mom. She does this a lot.Daphne managed to get the attention of a few sims with her protest.It’s not a protest without a selfie >.<Daphne starts an argument with another alien. Alien : I just said hello. Daphne : But you said it like we’re the same…you think I’m an alien freak like you?!And she proceeds to try and transform him. Nothing happened this time but he got the message and walked away.Daphne spent the rest of the time in the park drumming up supporters for her campaign.Daphne being motherly??? I’m shocked. Oh, and they got a new butler. I guess the old one retired.Daphne : What am I going to do without my music? It’s just broken Daphne…we can fix it.Or….you could set it on fire.Daphne trying to act innocent like it’s not her fault the stereo is on fire….Daphne : Such an inconvenience.Daphne stomps outside to safety. And yes, Daphne didn’t let anyone else know. She just left her son inside the house with the fire. Daniel : What did mom do this time?Standing outside, freaking out about the fire. No help to anyone.Luckily a sprinkler system that I didn’t know they had went off and put out the fire. It seems like a bug because I looked through their whole house and I didn’t see a sprinkler system anywhere.Daphne : That was close. For who Daphne??? Your son who left inside to put out the fire on his own???This time the butler attempts repairs and it goes much smoother. Daniel is looking really smug about his mom’s failure.The next day when Daniel gets home from school all the power is shut off.Daniel : Uh, I know you’ve not worked here very long but…I think my mom’s forgotten to pay the bills.Daniel : Mom texted me to say we are staying with my aunt until this is sorted out. So we’ll be back in a couple…days. The butler is shocked. Probably wondering if he is going to be paid.Even though this isn’t the butler who raised him, they are close enough for a hug goodbye.
Daniel finds Sherlock and scoops him up so he’s not left behind.
Aw, they are so cute <3 Daphne gets home and is really not impressed with the lack of power. However, what she didn’t tell Daniel is that she couldn’t afford the bills. Apparently the early levels of the political career just weren’t enough simoleons for her lifestyle.Daphne : Surprise! Daniel : I hate everything about this.Daphne : So, I heard the good news. You are expecting! I came over to help you through your pregnancy. Isn’t it great?Willow : Uhhh. Yeah, great.Daphne then proceeds to talk Willow’s ear off about the unenthusiastic greeting. Otis (Willow’s husband) listens nearby while Willow just tunes it all out and just enjoys some hamburger cake.Daphne : I’m here to help you! Why don’t you get it. Willow : Yep. Uh-huh. That’s great.Daniel introduces himself to Willow’s dog Cinnamon.Willow calls Wynonna over for some emotional assistance.Daphne directs her ranting at Wynonna for a few minutes giving Willow a much needed break.Daniel : It has fur???While he’s not too sure at first, Daniel slowly warms up to Willow’s cat Mika as well. He prefers his robot version though.Daphne : So, Daniel Daniel : I’m not going to like this, am I?Daniel : Hey aunt Willow!Daphne : I’m talking Daniel! Don’t interrupt. And no, I don’t know why pregnant Willow decides to eat spoiled hotdogs. That really doesn’t seem like the healthiest option.Yes Willow, they are spoiled of course they taste bad.Daphne : Like I was saying, we are going to be staying here until Aunt Willow has her baby. Daniel : I thought we were just gonna be here a few days. Daphne : More like a few weeks. You’ll love it. All the while, Willow and Otis are making out in the background…they are clearly used to having the house to themselves.Mika then starts eating Daphne’s sandwich and she’s not sure how she’s going to be able to handle this.Rather than sleeping with her husband, Willow climbed into Daphne’s bed that night. I guess their sisterly bonds are stronger than they appear.Daniel got a bed of his own, but it’s nothing like his special space room at home.
That’s it for this post. Daphne has made a mess of her finances and needs to figure out how she’s going to earn enough to get her utilities back on!
After a funeral and a somewhat somber 4th of July party Daphne is ready to focus on her career and aspiration. Time for the rose generation to become fully independant!
Daphne : You’re gonna have a new friend to play with Sherlock!Meet Abigail! Daphne is good at getting past her emotions with new relationships and in this case she adopted an Irish Setter.Abigail is active, hairy and stubborn. I think she and Daphne go well together.I have no idea why the butler baked a cake that day but just gave Daniel applesauce. It was no one’s birthday and poor Daniel just had to stare at a cake he wouldn’t be allowed to eat.Daphne’s not excited about the new weather. The rain might ruin her clothes!Daphne tries a little “harmless” transforming on the butler.Daphne : Don’t worry, I do this all the time. My mom made it, it’s totally safe. Butler : Ma’m, I really don’t think….It didn’t seem to make a difference but Valerie got a good laugh out of it.Daniel introduces himself to Abigail.Looks like they are getting along really wellDaphne heads out to a lounge and meets Kengo Nakamura. They hit it off immediately.He invited her to a fancy dress restaurant but….his fancy dress does not impress Daphne.She instead introduces herself to some of the other sims in the restaurant like Caleb Vatore.Wistarr showed to have a meal with her husband. Yep, the OLD MAN in the background there is the guy Wistarr married, Arturo Winter. Wistarr seems happy at least but…this was not what I expected from Wistarr.Irritated at her sister’s presence Daphne takes Kengo out to the park to continue their date. After asking him to stop at home and get rid of the “fancy” dress outfit.Seems to be going well.Daphne gives him a sultry goodbye at the end of the date.She immediately meets Keenan Esparza and starts hitting on him in the bathroom. I guess Kengo is a memory already.She invited Keenan back to her place to enjoy some soothing bubble blowing with her. His hot weather outfit leaves her doubting that she got any kind of upgrade when she ditched Kengo.But Daphne wouldn’t want to make any kind of decision until testing out the relationship with a kiss.I guess he was a good kisser!Daphne has started off her political career. Her first day at work doesn’t get off to a great start when she steps in dog poo.Not helped by the fact she then falls through the porch floor. It’s going to be a long first day for Daphne!Daniel is left home with the butler while Daphne works. The butler seems to be decent at taking care of him, thankfully.It’s Daniel’s birthday party! Daphne invites over friends and family, even Wistarr.She hires a chef as well who just spends the party dancing. Great.Time for Daniel to age up!!!Daphne’s not ready for this!
Daniel as a child! He earned the happy toddler trait, has a whiz kid aspiration and took the loner trait.
Willow and Kirk sharing some jokes. Probably at Daphne’s expense.Where Daphne’s childhood room use to be, I gave a makeover for Daniel. He’s super into everything yellow and space related.And it’s time to open gifts.Yeah, he’s Daphne’s child. Not super grateful for the presents his aunts bought him. After the party Daniel decides to teach Abigail how to fetch.She seems to pick it up pretty quickly.Daphne got a promotion and she regales the butler with tales of how one day she’s gonna reach the very top and rule the world. It looks like Daniel has heard this speech a few times.Daniel is a little cheat at chess!Daphne stops to grab some food from a stall after work and meets Ritvik Mahajan.She hangs out a while to enjoy the scenery with him.And enjoy a taste of him as well.Not far away Daniel meets Bianca Bheeda. She looks like she needs a friend.Daniel tries his best to cheer her up.But instead she just ends up crying more. Daniel’s not too sure what to do now.Leaving Daniel behind, Daphne brings Ritvik back to her place.They decide to have some fun back in the pool house.Daniel also invited Bheeda back to the house as well. He plays some chess with her because that always cheers him up.Awkward dinner…Ritvik : So that was… Daphne : A mistake.Daphne : Now, one of these settings will wipe your memory. Just hold still…It didn’t wipe his memory, but changed his skin color. Alright then.
Last time brought drama between Zahra and her baby daddy, lots of Zahra flirting and making out with random strangers, and Jackie aging into an elder.
Safra: Kitty!
Zahra: Safra! Put some clothes on!
Safra: No!
Really Pixel, really?
Zahra: PIXEL! Stop it! Good lord what is with everyone today?!
Aww, Jackie is such a good grandmother.
She is so cute!
There’s no such thing as sleeping alone when you have pets.
They may never have gotten married but that doesn’t mean they don’t love each other!
So cute! I love the pets in this generation!
Continuing to work hard on new inventions!
She doesn’t have the energy she used to have and had to stop and take a nap.
That doesn’t stop her from harassing her coworkers though!
Zahra got a promotion at work so to celebrate she met up with a guy at the club. She had been flirting with this guy before, though of course I can’t remember his name.
Well I guess that’s one way to celebrate getting a promotion.
Zahra: So, you’ll vote for me, right?
Sim: Um, yeah I guess.
Zahra: Awesome!
She stopped flirting with her boy toy long enough to get another vote from someone.
She invited him over to spend the night.
Might as well have some fun, plus he did agree to vote for her. Zahra wasn’t afraid to do whatever it takes to get ahead and get those votes.
When they were done Zahra promptly kicked him out. She wasn’t interested in getting to know him, she just wanted to have some fun.
Streeeeettttccchhhhh
Family picture.
Some Chester pic spam. I love the cats of this generation, they’re so freaking cute!
Enjoying some cake with Grandma Jackie.
Playing with her blocks, Safra is so cute! Lots of cute all around in the Kiwano household.
Jackie may be an elder but that doesn’t stop her from causing mischief and harassing her colleagues.
Jackie: Hahaha! Sucks to be you!
Testing her potions out on herself. Bold move there, Jackie.
It made her feel energized so she decided to do a few sit ups.
Coworker: What are you doing?
Jackie: Making you do my bidding. Now, go clean!
Coworker: I hate this job so much.
Jackie: Here, drink this!
Coworker: Are you sure that’s a good idea?
Jackie: Of course it is, just drink it!
Coworker: Okay.
Sweet! I guess terrorizing your colleagues pays off.
Tonight Jackie decided to hit up the nightclub in Windenburg, where she met this guy. I really should have written down the names of her various boyfriends.
Starting in on her normal flirting routine.
So far so good!
Sim: Woah there, you are moving WAY too quickly! Just because you’ll jump into bed with the first guy you see doesn’t mean I’m that easy!
Zahra: What are you implying? Do you know who I am?!
Sim: Yes, yes I know exactly who you are, and your reputation.
Zahra: #%&$ you! I can RUIN you, do you hear me? I know very influential people! I can BURY you!
Lots of horrified gasps. Yes, yes, this woman has no business having any sort of power, but couldn’t that be said of most politicians?
Unfazed, Zahra headed upstairs and found another guy to flirt with.
He was much more receptive to her advances.
Her first victim- I mean guy may have spurned her advances but this one was more than happy to flirt with and kiss her.
Well, um…that is…quite…wrong…
She had a great time at the nightclub and by the time she left she had totally forgotten about the guy who rejected her.
I guess the aliens really like her. Thank goodness she’s not a guy and we don’t have to worry about tons of alien babies!
Jackie: Oh god I’m too old for this!
Fortunately Jackie’s days of chasing after a toddler are over!
Well that is embarrassing! It’s a good thing nobody threw a birthday party for her!
Safra! Put some clothes on girl!
That’s better! She’s cute! She got the Loner trait and while I forgot to write it down, I’m pretty sure I gave her the Whiz Kid childhood aspiration.
I went ahead and remodeled their house for the Rose generation. As you can see, Jackie got her mint bedroom and bathroom while the rest of the house is now red. This is the downstairs.
And here’s the upstairs! You can see Safra’s yellow bedroom and bathroom. I couldn’t be bothered to take room-by-room pictures but you can at least see an overview of everything.
The outside, not very red minus the door.
Jackie’s lab with all of her science stuff.
And with that I’m going to go ahead and end the Mint generation. I think Jackie still needs to master one more skill (the logic skill) but she’s done everything else and since I’m already well into the Rose generation anyways, might as well officially switch.
In the previous post Daniel had grown up into a toddler and now it is Daphne’s turn for a birthday. Time for her to become a young adult!
I guess Valerie picked the venue because she is looking a lot happier about this party than Daphne is.Despite the rain, Daphne sets up the birthday cake on the porch and its time for adulthood!Valerie sings her a happy birthday at the top of her lungs. Nothing embarrasses her. I think Brielle in the background just wants to get onto the part where they eat cake.Yep, as soon as the cake is sliced Brielle is running over to get some.Daphne : Hey Shane, can we talk?Shane : Sure but how about a birthday hug first? Daphne : No no no. I don’t think you get it.Daphne : It’s not you, it’s me. You’re still a teen, I’m an adult. I’ve gotta go find some more…mature.Daphne : Basically, buh-bye.Poor Shane! He’s heartbroken. Daphne just thinks she was so smooth. No girl, just cruel.Valerie keeps Daniel out of the way so he doesn’t see his mother breaking up with a perfectly nice man. A little less drama in his life is all she can do for him.Noooooooo! Valerie : I’m coming for you Grim and the pranks are not going to end.And with that, Gen 1 passes away 🙁Everyone gathers to mourn Valerie’s passing. Daphne seems to think it’s another one of Valerie’s pranks at first.But then it hits her and she nearly collapses from weeping.No, Daniel! Don’t look.Poor thing. The only sim he was close to is gone from his life. Sherlock is confused when only Daniel and Daphne return home. Valerie had already prepared for her eventual passing and bought a family mausoleum. This is the Mint generation’s room. Valerie and Aarush’s urns will both be kept here along with pictures from their wedding and pictures of Cookie and Sherlock.Daphne, Daniel, and Sherlock mourn Valerie’s passing together.Daphne tries to journal about it to sort through her feelings.But it doesn’t help very much. She had barely aged into an adult when she lost her mom and now she has to figure out how to be a mother to Daniel.
Now that she’s an adult I updated her wardrobe. She’s a bit more glam now in her looks.
Daphne spends more time with Sherlock now that Valerie is gone.And I gave the main house a paint job to match the Rose generation.I’ve not redecorated anything, just changed colors where I could. The lab will stay mint though since that was always Valerie’s room.Rather than try to do any actual parenting, Daphne hires a butler. She is so excited for his arrival she throws confetti to welcome him.He and Daniel seem to get along alright. Maybe this is actually a good decision on Daphne’s part.Daphne’s go-to activity when she’s upset. The bubble blower.While everyone is still mourning, it’s also Independance day! Valerie invites over Willow, Wynonna, and several friends to celebrate the holiday with them. Wynonna takes the opportunity to introduce herself to her nephew. Daphne does a fancy dive into the pool to show off.Buuut, there is a wardrobe malfunction. She’s showing off a little TOO much now.Wynonna tosses her clothes to her and Daphne quickly gets dressed again.Willow is shocked when Daphne tells her what happened.Daphne plays it cool though. It’s definitely going to be a story that gets told at future family gatherings for years to come.This is Otis Frantz. Willow brought him over and introduced him to the family. Apparently they got married and Daphne hadn’t been invited.Wynonna and Kirk are still together, but don’t seem concerned with getting married. They are happy the way things are for now.Time for fireworks!Daphne : Mmm, I’ve seen better.I guess Willow has never seen fireworks before.Daphne : I didn’t pay all this money for crappy fireworks!A few loud bangs later Daphne decided maybe bigger isn’t always better when you are playing with explosives.Wynonna : Hey, are you okay? Daphne : Not really…Wynonna : A party is just the way mom would want us to remember her. She never stopped laughing and joking.Daphne thought it over and Wynonna was right. While she would always miss her mom, Valerie wouldn’t want her to keep dwelling on it.
And that’s the end of this post. A really sad one. but now that she is an adult Daphne can start working on the Rose generation goals so there is more drama in her future.
Aarush has just died and Valerie is heartbroken. They’d been together through so much and now she’d have to find a way to help Daphne through a teenage pregnancy on her own. Parenting hasn’t ever been her strong suit.
Valerie has a breakfast with Zoe to try and give her life some normalcy.Zoe is super supportive and happy to just be there for Valerie as she struggles through her grief.Time for Gen 3 to be born!!! Daphne is looking pretty worried.Not enough to keep her from taking the obligatory hospital selfie though >.<The doctor seems excited but Daphne is really dragging her feet.Even Valerie isn’t delighting in Daphne’s suffering today. Valerie : Everything will be fine. Just remember your breathing exercises.Luckily for Daphne the delivery is quick and gen 3 is born! Meet Daniel Pomegranate.Daphne : I did it!Daphne : He looks…just like me.Daphne is so proud of herself and her new son.Valerie steps into the role of caregiver for baby Daniel immediately. She puts his crib in her room so she can take care of him when he wakes up in the night.Daphne : This parenting thing isn’t anywhere as bad as people say.
Maybe that’s because your mom is actually the one taking care of Daniel…Valerie is really struggling. She barely took care of her daughters as infants because she had Aarush. And now he’s gone and never got to meet his grandson. Poor thing.Daphne invites some friends over for a movie. Brielle is sitting on the couch with her and Ellie is the one rudely standing in front of everyone.Ah yes, the shocking kiss scene. Downright scandalous!Valerie makes a joke at Daphne’s expense, embarrassing her. Brielle is just furiously concentrating on the tv. She does not appreciate all these interruptions.Even Daphne’s friends like to destroy the dollhouse.And the selfie to remember it by. Definitely a friend of Daphne’s.Valerie taking care of little Daniel 🙂Daphne met this boy, Shane Chandran, at school. She thought he was pretty cute and started flirting with him right away.Seems like he likes her too.Daphne decided to invite him out for a date at the park. Daphne : Um, why are you sitting so far away?Daphne : You want to sit much closer, like this, on a date. Daphne apparently has some moves.Wooing Shane. He seems smitten with her aggressive flirting.She came home from the date tired but pleased with herself. She feels bit better knowing she is still attractive after having a baby.Aarush shows up to judge Valerie for her choice of movies.Aw, they both look so sad. Aarush must be missing Valerie as much as she misses him <3 Valerie fills in Aarush in everything he’s been missing and tells him about his darling grandchild, Daniel.The love birds. They weren’t overly affectionate when Aarush was alive. Too busy always caring for toddlers or working on the science career.Aarush makes time to say hello to Sherlock as well before he goes back to the netherworld.Daphne brings Shane home after school and is still pulling out the big moves on him.Valerie: And who’s this? A teenager thank goodness! Daphne : Yeah, this is Shane. Shane this is my mom.Valerie : Now, do we need to have….a talk?Daphne : Mom! Valerie : What? Don’t tell me its too late for the talk. I love Daniel but I don’t want another unexpected grandchild.Valerie : You seem like a nice boy. Unlike that Lucas Munch. Daphne : Aaaand now you’ve met my mom. Let’s go.Luckily Willow came over to visit and distracted Valerie so Daphne and Shane could escape the inquisition.I built gave the backyard an update at this point. I gave them a pool and pool house in the back. The pool house is mostly for Daphne so I build it with rose colors rather than the mint of the main house.An overview of the lot.And the layoutThis is the view of the pool house from the front porch.The main room. I’ve moved Daphne’s bubble blower out here as well as a bar and fooseball for when she is hanging out with friends.Then there is a spa and two showers so people can rinse off after the spa or after swimming.Then there is also a bedroom in the back so this can act as a guest house as well. The view…just looks out to the local playground which isn’t ideal, but still provides nice natural lighting to the room.This is the backporch of the main house. Nothing fancy but just gave them a grill they could use.And I rearranged the garden.This is when I got Seasons and this was the hot weather outfit the game automatically gave Valerie….Um, no.That’s better.Willow and Wynonna came over to visit. Looks like Wynonna is ranting about work. I don’t know if Willow is horrified or if Wynonna has said something to bring her to tears.
Daniel is a toddler now! He rolled the silly trait 🙂
Aw, Valerie and Daniel are really close 🙂Grandma Valerie keeps an eye on Daniel while she grills.He’s so cute 😀These two seem nearly inseparable!Every so often Grandma Valerie has to do some chores around the house. Daniel is good at keeping himself entertained with the wabbit tablet though.Daphne and Daniel don’t really know how to relate. They get along fine but don’t spend much time together. Daphne just wants to finish highschool and get her career started while Daniel is spoiled rotten by his grandma.
Wow, it’s been forever since I last even thought about the NSB challenge. I’ve been too caught up in the Carnes legacy I guess. This will feel dated now for the next generation or two since this was before Seasons came out, one of the downsides of getting behind I guess. Let’s see, last time Jackie went to Sixam and very narrowly avoided an intergalactic incident. Warda and Zahra aged into young adults, with Warda moving out and Zahra becoming heir. The baby Zahra had as a teen aged into a pretty cute toddler, and I think that was about it. Now let’s see what I can remember…
While out and about in San Myshuno Zahra came upon her biological father, Akira. Awkward. They both chose to act like they didn’t recognize each other and awkwardly sat there until they each decided that a drink wasn’t that important after all and went home.
Oh no, poor little Pixel is sick!
Like a good pet owner, Jackie immediately got her in to see the vet.
Poor little kitty.
Fortunately it was nothing a simple (but very expensive) shot couldn’t cure!
Back to normal! I wish pets could be cured so easily in real life, though at the same time I’m very glad it doesn’t cost me $750 every time I need to take my dog to the vet!
Girls night out at the karaoke bar!
Jackie: Hey Warda, how are you? How’s painting going?
Warda: Mom! I’m good, life is good! I love painting and having a house to myself.
Jackie: I’ve missed you! It’s so nice to see you!
Warda: I missed you too, Mom.
Time for some karaoke!
Warda: Oh crap, I don’t think I’ve heard this song before.
Warda: Oh well!
Zahra, stop harassing the poor vendor, let him do his job in peace!
Zahra: Hey there sexy, how you doin’?
They exchanged numbers really fast, even though Jackie literally just met him and will probably never actually call him. That kid’s expression o.O
Jackie makes it her life’s goal to see how many men she can seduce (I mean, that is kind of her aspiration so it literally is her life’s goal). After everything that happened with Akira and her mom, and then Nathanial Jackie has very little trust for men and is only interested in what they can give to her. As far as she’s concerned men are only there for a fun time.
Jackie: I’ve gotta go, my mom and sister are waiting for me.
Max Villareal: Okay, I will anxiously wait for your call! I want to see more of you and look forward to getting to know you better!
Jackie: Uh, yeah, I’ll totally call you later.
*blocks his number so he can’t call her*
Uh oh, look who Jackie ran into! Nathanial Holiday, Safra’s baby daddy.
Jackie: What are you doing here, Nathanial?
Nathanial: I feel bad about how things ended between us. I was a dumb kid too wrapped up in my own crap.
Jackie: Yeah you think?
Nathanial: I don’t want our child growing up without a father. I’m ready to be there, to step up and help parent.
Jackie: Are you kidding me right now? You don’t even know her name! You had your chance when I told you I was pregnant!
Nathanial: I said I was sorry! I was a kid, we were kids. I was dumb and in shock, I wasn’t ready to be a parent then. I’ve changed so much since then, I’ve grown up. I’m sure you’re also not the same person you were as a teenager!
Zahra: Too bad! We’re fine without you! I don’t need your help and Safra doesn’t need a loser like you in her life.
He was so upset his hand went right through Zahra’s thigh, much to everyone’s surprise 😛
Nathanial: Don’t make me fight you for her, Zahra. I want to be a part of our daughter’s life!
Nathanial: I WILL TAKE YOU TO COURT IF I HAVE TO!
Jackie: Oh I’m SO scared. I have way more connections than you, if you try anything I will ruin you.
Random sim is enjoying the drama. Get lost you creep!
Nathanial: Fine, you win this time Jackie. But when she’s old enough to make her choices I WILL find a way to be in her life.
Jackie: Yeah good luck with that. Go, now, before I call the police.
Poor Jackie, he was the only man she’s ever loved. But she wasn’t about to let him back in their lives and risk getting hurt again, or even worse, hurt her daughter.
Oh lovely, now the pets are fighting. Safra, why do you look like you had something to do with this???
Licking their wounds.
Kiwi was so upset by the fight that she ran away!
Jackie immediately grabbed her phone and posted an alert. Hopefully one of her neighbours will find Kiwi and bring her home!
Awww, Safra loves her Aunt Warda.
Oh hai Kali, why are you possessing the TV?
Not really feeling like working, Zahra reluctantly headed out the door.
Fortunately it was worth going to work today as Zahra got a promotion!
Look who’s home! Exhausted and filthy, but safe!
Jackie: Kiwi! You’re home! You naughty girl, don’t ever scare me like that again!
Playing with her SimRay at work.
Hmm, okay then. That’s not quite what I was expecting but I guess it’s a start.
After work Zahra headed out to celebrate her new promotion. She promptly ran into Max, the guy she made out with at the art gallery in San Myshuno.
Max: Zahra! Hey babe, I waited and waited for your phone call but it never came. What’s wrong? I thought we had a real connection.
Zahra: Oh, yeah, um…yeah sorry about that. I’ve just been SO swamped at work.
Zahra: But hey, it’s so good to see you!
Max: It’s good to see you too. You want to go inside and grab a drink?
Zahra: Sure, why not.
After some drinks Zahra got Max to confess that he was, in fact, married. Nice guy there. Not that Zahra really would have cared anyways, all she wanted was a good time and Max just happened to be the guy she found to provide that.
Once his secret had slipped out, Max made an excuse and hurriedly left the bar. Unfazed, Zahra set her sights on a new guy.
Yeah don’t let this get to your head dude, you’re not actually special, she’s just toying with you.
Oh hey, I guess she didn’t piss of the aliens of Sixam too badly, since they want her back to visit. Or they could be pissed off at her and want to hurt her, one of the two.
Whew, guess they just wanted to say hi. She got back from Sixam and gave her granddaughter a bath, as you do.
Pixel is so cute!
Safra, looking for trouble!
Fortunately she got distracted by the Wabbit Tablet and sat down to watch videos on it instead.
Ugh, the joys of a bitch in heat. There’s a reason why I got a dog. And all the non-dog people are wondering what I’m talking about lol.
Working hard to get the votes from her constituents. She’s not above using her good looks and charm to gain the votes of men, and it’s serving her very well.
Chester keeps a close watch over his people while they sleep. Cats are more loyal and loving than people give them credit for!
Zahra enjoyed her breakfast while Kiwi tried to become one with the couch.
Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Zahra was not excited to be heading off to work, I pity the poor sims who have to work with her.
Safra: Kitty! Kitty!
Birthday time for Jackie! For some reason my gourmet cakes are coming out all weird, with that texture instead of the black and white ones. I have no idea why, some CC that’s messing things up I guess.
Jackie: Oh no, I’m OLD!
She makes for a very pretty old lady!
Okay, I think on that note I’ll go ahead and end this chapter. Thanks for reading!
Valerie Pomegranate, the founder, has completed her lifetime goals. She had four half-alien girls and a loving husband throughout it all. The triplets have moved out and now it’s just the youngest, Daphne, still at home. Daphne will be carrying on the legacy as the rose generation her goals are…
Generation Two: Rose
You had everything you desired as a child but you were always longing for more. As an adult you have a hard time committing to relationships as you’re so focused on your career. If we had a workaholic trait in The Sims 4 you would have it. You have absolutely no maternal instincts whatsoever but you still love your child with all your heart.
Traits: Hot Headed, Snob, Romantic
Aspiration: Serial Romantic
Career: Politician
Rules:
Have only one child
Master the politician career and complete Serial Romantic aspiration
Master charisma skill
Leave someone at the alter (an interaction available during a wedding)
Get married for the first time as an elder
Daphne is still a teenager but just found out she is pregnant and the baby daddy just dumped her. Time to decide if she is going to try and Ihide this from her parents, or break the news.
I don’t know what she is eating, but apparently is smells fantastic. Whatever it was gives her the courage to call in her parents for a little chat…
Aarush can already tell what this is and he is pretending he isn’t even there.
Daphne : I’m pregnant mom!
Valerie : Daphne!!!
Daphne : And Lucas is the father. Surprise!
Valerie : @#$%
Aarush is determined to eat his fruit salad in some semblance of peace and just tunes it all out.
Valerie : Aarush! Don’t you have something to say?!
Daphne : Mom, please. I know this wasn’t exactly planned…
Aarush finally gives up on his peaceful breakfast.
Aarush : Wasn’t @#$^%$ planned?! We told you not to mess around with that #$@^ college *&^&^% Munch boy. But would you listen? #@$#^ No! You must know *&#!@*^ more than your !@#$% parents!
Valerie is so proud of Aarush right now for cussing out his daughter O_o
Aarush : And that *&^%$ Munch? Does he know?
Daphne : We…he won’t return my calls.
Valerie : I told you the Munches were no good. They’ve been my enemies for a long time. Back when I first moved to this town…
Aarush goes back to eating his breakfast while Valerie launches into the story of her eating a sandwich outside. She’s told everyone that story…many times.
Valerie gets wrapped up in her story and doesn’t notice when everyone but Sherlock leaves the room.
Valerie : At least you appreciate my stories, Sherlock.
The next morning Daphne tries to use her pregnancy to her advantage.
Daphne : I’m not feeling so good…I think I should…
Valerie : You’re going to school.
Daphne : But mom, I’m…
Valerie : This is not up for discussion. Go.
Daphne brings home a project that day. Her parents support her by helping with the project but things are still…tense.
Daphne : Dad, it’s not like I planned this…
Valerie really does take delight in her daughter’s suffering O_o
They managed not to kill each other and build a little rocket ship together.
The baby bump is starting to show!
Despite being pregnant Daphne still uses her bubble blower to unwind. Probably not the best thing for the baby :/
It’s not helping her unwind as much as she’d like.
Aarush : Look, it’s time you call Lucas. You can’t raise this child on your own.
Daphne : I’m NOT calling Lucas.
Aarush : Daphne…
Daphne : NO! Look, even if I wanted to I deleted his number. We broke up a while ago. I’m raising this kid on my own whether you like it or not dad.
She hasn’t deleted his number but Daphne is too stubborn to call Lucas up after he called her an experiment. She’d rather face raising a child alone no matter how disappointed it makes her parents.
It’s Geek Con! Valerie immediately feels right at home among all the gadgets.
She goes straight for the rocket ship and makes some tweaks.
A scientist’s work is never done.
She’s so proud of herself 🙂
Aarush comes along as well and plays some games. He’s not very good but he has fun.
Zoe is there in cosplay! They may be elders but these two are still as close as ever.
Lucas Munch is also there…
He came to participate in the hackathon. Doesn’t look like it’s going well for him.
Wistarr is here as well playing games.
Daphne shows up after school and runs into Lucas as he finishes the hackathon. They exchange glares.
Lucas doesn’t make a comment on the extra weight she has put on. There’s no hiding her stomach in the shirt she’s wearing, but Lucas just glares at her.
Daphne : Nothing to say? You think you can just ignore me?! After everything?!
Daphne whips out the simray she’d taken from her mom’s lab and shoots Lucas. She doesn’t check the setting but just fires without thinking.
She smiles at her handiwork and leaves the festival proud of having gotten a little revenge on the boy who called her an experiment.
After the festival she heads to a lounge. She still has the fake IDs she got for her and her friends a year ago.
And who do we run into, but Wynonna!
Wynonna can tell immediately something is up. She was never as close with Daphne as with the other triplets, but they are still sisters.
Daphne doesn’t beat around the bush.
Daphne : I’m pregnant.
Wynonna : What?! When? Who? Daphne!!! Do our parents know?
Daphne fills her in on the situation and tells her not to worry. Wynonna doesn’t see how she can’t be worried but Daphne came to the lounge to party and brushes off her sister to go dance.
Her best friend, Brielle, is here as well. Daphne feels a bit better, it’s just like old times.
Wistarr shows up dressed in cosplay for some reason. She wasn’t wearing this when she was at the festival.
Wistarr : Your stomach…Daphne you aren’t…
Daphne : Yep, pregnant.
Wistarr doesn’t have words for this situation. Daphne just walks away to dance and try to forget her troubles.
Oh no.
Aarush, no!
The gardener shows up to see what the noise is all about.
Gadener : GRIM?!
Poor Aarush. He spent the last few years of his life arguing with Daphne and they didn’t get a chance to repair the relationship.
Valerie is heartbroken. He was the only single man who thought her flirts were cute and not irritating. He’d been there through her alien pregnancies and helped her raise four daughters and now he was gone.
Grim decided to check out the house while Valerie heads straight to the stove to try and eat her feelings.
I don’t know what is happening…but that is not what your hand should be doing, Valerie.
Poor Valerie. Aarush is still on the family portrait, but not for long 🙁 Gone but not forgotten.
Last time Zahra finally revealed to her mother that she was pregnant, and her mother took the news surprisingly well. Jackie, being the evil scientist that she is, lured Akira to her house and cloned him. The clone, Xander, moved in and promptly proved himself to be worthwhile to have around by doing house chores.
Jackie what…what are you doing???
Xander went out and got a job in I think the business career.
Jackie’s hard work calibrating the wormhole generator has finally paid off. Time to see where it leads!
Jackie: Woah, so this is Sixam!
Jackie: Hi! I’ve seen you around the lab, haven’t I?
Alien: Greetings! Yes, I occasionally travel to Earth to assist in your research.
Gathering some specimens to study once she gets back to the lab.
Not one to be bothered by trivial things like manners, Jackie immediately started collecting DNA swabs from the aliens. Please don’t create an intergalactic incident, Jackie.
Apparently she arrived right in the middle of an alien dance party! Perfect way to observe alien culture.
What, Jackie, what are you doing? No, stop!
And that started World War III.
Alien: Your people will pay for this.
Jackie: I don’t even care.
Gathering some more Sixamian specimens for the lab.
Sixam is so pretty!
Gotta take a selfie when you’re at a party, especially an alien party. Glad to see that this alien wasn’t too offended by Jackie’s demands for her DNA.
Learning how to make Sixamian drinks.
Back on Earth it was birthday time for the twins!
First up was Warda, and her traits are Gloomy, Bookworm, and Artistic. Her Aspiration is to be a Painter Extraordinaire, which also gave her the Muser trait.
And now for our heir, Zahra. As dictated by the challenge rules, her traits are Snob, Hot Headed, and Romantic and her Aspiration is to be a Serial Romantic, which gave her the Alluring trait.
She looks so much like her mother!
Continuing to work on the Wormhole Generator. Though after last time’s trip to Sixam, maybe Jackie should focus on Earth. Before WW III really does break out.
Working on analyzing all the samples she brought back.
I couldn’t capture the sparkly picture, but it was Safra’s birthday.
Here she is! She’s adorable! I don’t think I wrote down her toddler trait though. Oops
With Safra growing up it was time for Warda to move out and get away from the family crazy. She had never really fit in with her dramatic sister and her distant mother, and she was very ready to do her own thing. She got a job in the Painter career which allowed her to save up for a nice little house of her own.
She moved into a cute house right next door, built by iamsimming and downloaded from the gallery. She’d be close enough to stay in touch and spend time with her niece, but she would still have her own space.
So far Xander is proving himself to be twice the man that Akira was.
Xander: Babe, I’ve got a little something for you.
Jackie: Oh?
Xander: Here you go!
Jackie: Oh wow, thank you so much! It’s beautiful!
Oh yes, MUCH better than Akira.
Safra: Kitty!
Pixel: What is that tiny human up to?
Safra: Pet kitty!
Pixel: Oh the indignity of it all!
Poor Pixel, as if getting pet by a rough toddler wasn’t bad enough, here comes the dog to add to her annoyance.
Zahra had joined the Political career as dictated, and has already been promoted! Though she found it hard to celebrate this promotion, she was feeling bored and lonely.
Maybe a trip to the bar will cheer her up and who knows, maybe she’ll meet someone.
Or she could just get drunk, that helps too.
Ooh, there’s a guy! He’s not hideous, not super cute either, but cute enough to flirt with.
Poor guy has no idea that she’s just toying with him and flirting with him because she’s bored.
Zahra: I’ve got to go, I’ve got stuff I have to do.
Random guy who’s name I don’t remember: It was so nice to meet you! You’ve got my number, call me!
Zahra: Uh, yeah, sure, yeah I will.
A little good night kiss.
Gotta take a selfie to remember her first kiss (as an adult).
Zahra intended on leaving after saying goodbye to the guy she was flirting with, but then they started up the karaoke machine and she couldn’t resist singing a song or two.
Yes, you’re gorgeous and you know it. What man is safe from her?
When she was finished singing, she met up with Warda to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back to Newcrest.
Nothing like trying to eat in peace and then having Vlad come over and start being creepy.
