Another busy week for the Verde's. Happily towards the end of the week Kyle Jr and his son Donte figured out how to kill two birds with one stone, especially since Donte is a technophobe. I am worried whether or not Kyle Jr will be able to max his charisma before he has to meet grim. If he does I might also add city hall since it's not a money tied lot, just skill based, and there are now 6 additional residential lots (but only 4 occupied) on the island. Family Funds: $1,267 (after $27,000 for the Bookstore) Lot Value: Furnished $26,359, Unfurnished $15,197 Store Orders: Easel At this point any and all dumpster diving will be to increase family funds. I was thinking of keeping the lot close to starter level cost, however the roll for gen 3 has pointed me on a new path. Other Events: Kyle Jr transitioned to elder. The twins became young adults, Diedra, who's final trait is Party Animal, got a job at the science center and moved out(kicked out) to an empty 2 bedroom house. Alesha is continuing to pop out simlets, and now has 2 children with a 3rd one on the way.

Family Funds: $15,642 Lot Value: Furnished $25,795, Unfurnished $15,197 Other Events: Alesha & Heath became adults. Alesha is still in a rocky relationship with Adrian Quinn and has a son, Efren McGrath, by him. Rufus Jr & Valarie both became elders. The twins are dumpster diving & collecting rocks to help boost the family funds.

I had to tag a lot as library in edit town mode to find out how much money would be needed. What was funny was popping by the lot to check the value and seeing a bunch of sims standing around reading on an empty lot. Charisma seems to be a challenging skill for Kyle Jr, whereas he's on the cusp of finishing the writing skill. I can't tell if he's gaining any charisma points as he tutors other sims.

Skill Add: Chess tables to Park Other Events: The twins transitioned into childhood. Rufus Jr and Valarie have become nemesis, yet won't split up. The Quinn family is determined to repopulate the island, and has 3 or 4 children now. Poor Kyle Jr had a rough first half of the week. He was feeling very stir crazy and fluctuated between wanting to teach his children toddler skills and improve his own skill base. Once the twins transitioned to children he headed to the science center to help with an experiment, and to take a logic class for himself. It was noted that fishing classes were on discount, so each child attended fishing class as well as practiced writing and logic skill at home. He has replanted only a few plants, primarily the ones they're running low on in the fridge. Towards the end of the week Kyle Jr threw a party inviting his family and friends over for some much needed adult socialization. Saturday he felt the need to get out and spent the day at the park with the kids. When they started to indicate they were getting hungry he carried forward a tradition from his youth and they roasted their fresh caught fish over the fire for dinner, before heading home for bed. Week 10 started with a roller coaster ride for Kyle Jr. On Sunday he hosted a party inviting only immediate family so that he could introduce his new bride Natasha to the family. Half way through the party tragedy struck and Kylie passed away while doing something on the computer, causing it to also break. His brother and family stayed around for a little bit longer before going home. Despite Kylie passing away mid party it was agreed that everyone had a good time. Natasha wandered out to the garden, knowing it had been her mother -in - laws pride and joy made it more precious to her. She got the garden half way watered when suddenly her water broke. She eventually made her way inside to the nursery. She and Kyle Jr were both shocked and overcome with joy when she ended up delivering twins; son Donte and daughter Diedra. They both received a nasty shock moments later when Natasha suddenly died of old age. According to the report Kyle Jr received from Walter Bishop and Massive Dynamics eating large quantities of life fruit** before and during pregnancy can sometimes lead to sudden death. ** In ts2 if you drank the elixir of youth while in a red mood there was a chance that it would accelerate the sims age. In s3 however to my knowledge there are no bad side affects from life fruit even if it's bad quality. What really happened is that when Kyle Jr married Natasha she had 2 days until elder, I had her eat several life fruit to ensure the odds of pregnancy. Since he had the single parent roll I used testingcheatsenabled to trigger Natasha's age transitions once the babies were safely born. This makes the 3rd time I've, 4 if you count eating the life fruit, used cheats for the game in relation to death or moving a sim into a separate lot. So even though I hadn't actually planned on doing any story telling with this save, a little is sneaking in. ;) Once Kyle Jr recovered from the initial shock of becoming a widower in charge of not one but two helpless infants he quickly contacted Dragon Construction. His home was assessed and a small upper story was added to the house. The following day, Monday, Kyle Jr once again invited his brother and family over, this time to hold a memorial gathering for both their mom, Kylie, and his wife, Natasha. Late that evening Kyle Jr was startled by the appearance of his mom's ghost. Despite searching the house from top to bottom he couldn't locate her grave marker to move it to the lot where her parents and Natasha's markers are located. Kyle Jr knew he was under obligation to finish the humor book he was working on but trying to care for twins was exhausting. He was happy when they finally became toddlers. Rufus Jr commented on the neglectful state of the garden, Kyle Jr admitted he was trying but it was hard to maintain the garden, get sleep, care for twins, fix everything that kept breaking, and work on his book. Rufus Jr assured his brother that things would get easier as the twins grew. After the twins birthday the rest of the week flew by in a blur for Kyle Jr, as he found himself waxing between stir crazy and overly stressed out from his obligations. Even though he knew it was a lost cause, he tried to keep up with the garden. He was very proud of himself when he managed to get the twins potty trained. Saturday rolled around and he realized it was his birthday, so he threw himself a party and invited everyone he knew. Despite his niece, Alesha, breaking the tv and another guest breaking his computer the party was considered a great party by all who attended. Family Funds: $3,132

Skill Add: Chess tables to Park Week 9 was a big week for Kylie and her son Kyle Jr. By spending less time with her garden and more time on fishing, Kylie was finally able to master her fishing skill by mid week. With this final bit of proof that there was enough on the island to support a research facility William Bell authorized the placement of a Massive Dynamics science facility on the island. It was decided that the best location was down along the waterfront. At this time the family has no fiscal ties with the science center. After a quick phone call home Kylie moved to the house where Rufus had lived. Final Summary for Kylie - Generation 1 Skills: Gardening 10, Fishing 10, Handiness 10, Cooking 3, Athletic 1 Career: Science - skill based; completed Kylie's short week wasn't all work. Despite the fact that Valarie hates the outdoors, she, Rufus Jr, and their twin toddlers Heath and Alesha were frequently at the park which allowed Kylie a chance to socialize with them as she worked on her goals. Kylie also found that selling her fresh fish through the market was far better than trying to sell them one by one. (If the market lot looks familiar it should, it and the science center were pulled pre-built by ea from Riverview.) Back at the house Kyle Jr focused on his goals. One of which is to be a single parent to two children. He's not sure he's thrilled by this, but he had met a wonderful woman the previous week and didn't even mind that she was older than him. Without giving it much thought for what it might mean for his future, after a whirl wind romance Kyle Jr married Natasha. Natasha admitted that she was as much in love with Kyle Jr as she was with the perfect garden on the lot, which was something she had always wanted. It wasn't long before Natasha discovered that she was in the family way. While she isn't a childish person she finds herself constantly drawn to children's music and shows. She wonders if it will impact her pregnancy at all. She also try's not to dwell on possible future repercussions of sneaking life fruit to forestall her transition to elder, which should have been the day after she wed Kyle Jr. Kyle Jr also takes time to visit with his brother and his family.
