Midori continued to supplement the family's income from the small garden plot. Even though Chance is very much a loner, he still spends time playing with Mu and helping her learn to walk. Jamal takes advantage of the extra time to chat with Jackie. Finished working outside Midori turns on the boosted tv set and watches the gardening channel, which helps her master the skill and complete her ltw of Renaissance sim. Eventually Chance and Jackie join her. (Note: Small blooper in 4-3 post. Zach didn't max his artistic skill - yet, he did however have a midlife crisis which allowed him to channel his kleptomaniac urges in a positive direction and he now has the neat trait instead of klepto. No other traits were adjusted.) Zach did finally max his artistic skill, which made him very happy. Mu wasn't quite sleepy yet so Jamal staid up reading while she ate & played. Chance really wanted a job so his parents signed his work permit. Even though Midori was happy to be going back to work she still took time to check in on Mu before leaving. The day went by quickly for the family. Midori was excited that she'd received another promotion on her first day back to work. Jamal received a call requesting he help a gentleman from the business office see the benefits of logical choices that seem counter the needs of businesses. Jamal did such a good job he was granted a certificate for Logic Mastery. After a brief presentation to city council, the city received a pro bono build from Dragon Construction for the creation of a proper police station. New housing was also wanted but the contract negotiations on those took a little longer. Jamal got a job right away at the newly constructed station. The week progressed nicely. One day both Jamal and Midori came home excited about promotions they had received. While they were 'celebrating' Mu's birthday snuck past them and she transitioned from toddler to child. Midori ordered a sprinkler she'd seen on the garden channel and adjusted it to automatically water the garden in the mornings for her. Mu just loves to play in the sprinkler after she finishes her homework. Zach gets invited on a date. He's rather ambivalent about it and plays guitar for tips instead of hanging out with his date. Jamal has a different problem, his undercover clothes from work turned him invisible. Happily a quick wash takes car of the problem. Friday rolls around and Midori wants to celebrate yet another promotion, she falls asleep right after, but Jamal wanders downstairs just in time for Jackie's birthday transition to teen. Saturday Jackie and Chance head out for the park. They're sad that the only thing to do at the park is stand around and talk. Midori wakes up at odds with herself, her stomach is upset yet she's craving cheesy foods. (Every pregnancy craving save one with simlet 4 was macaroni & cheese or grilled cheese. O_O ) Mu is happy she is allowed to go fishing on her own, even though she's clumsy she loves the outdoors. Midori gets tired of hearing the protestors chant so she goes inside to watch cooking shows. Before Midori knows it, it's time to deliver her final child. Waddling into the house she wishes Jamal were home but he's out getting statements from people at the park. After a fair amount of time she finally delivers a little girl whom they are naming Stevie. After getting Stevie settled into her crib, Midori heads down to the kitchen to help Zach celebrate his transition to elder. Zach let's Midori know that he's not up to the challenge of infant care anymore. Midori doesn't mind her gardening time is reduced greatly by the automatic sprinkler she installed. Sometimes Jamal grumbles that he hardly ever sees his youngest daughter. Before they know it a whole bunch of birthdays have snuck up on them. One evening before everyone heads off to bed they pause to celebrate the transitions. First Jamal transitions to elder, he wants to retire but he also wants to help Midori build a community gym and at 50 thousand their getting very close to that goal. Next up is Mu, her childhood sped right past everyone and now she's entering her teen years. Last to celebrate is Chance he's finally a full adult. He's decided to enter law enforcement too, and he's sure he can keep his kleptomania under control. The following morning just before the car pool and bus arrives Midori calls everyone around to help celebrate Stevie's transition from infant to toddler. Stevie needs a nap early today and falls asleep on the kitchen floor. Stevie also inherited her moms red hair, but where did those blue-green eyes come from? Midori tells Chance that the role of heir is still undecided, and that it's going to be left to some people called 'simmers' to help the journalist decide who will be heir. Heir vote on the forums.

Going mostly off pic's since I didn't write down any notes. A lot happened over the course of game play. With Chance now a toddler, Midori decided it was time for a second child. She felt they could afford it due to a recent promotion at work. Jamal ended up teaching Chance most of his toddler skills, Midori helped too when she wasn't feeling to ill. While she was happy about the confirmation of her pregnancy she wondered why the morning sickness didn't go away like it had with Chance. Zach wasn't interested in a party and had hoped his transition to middle aged adult would go unnoticed, he had no such luck. Midori continued to supplement the families income by selling produce to the family store. They used the extra money to add on to the upper floor of the house, after all Chance wouldn't stay little forever and with a second child on the way the extra room would be needed. Midori thought she needed the bathroom, but nope time for the baby to arrive. Welcome to the family Jackie. Jamal celebrated his transition and the mastery of athleticism. Keeping a baby crib in the room, isn't very conducive to a good nights sleep. The next day Midori and Jamal discuss remodel ideas. Chance has outgrown his crib, look at those lovely lavender eyes. Don't worry Chance with more siblings to come you might not have to be the heir, and if you do end up being heir ... well maybe you can have a midlife crisis early. (Chances traits are not very favorable.) With Chance now able to go to school his parents enjoy the breather that comes from only one child at home. It's not until a few days later that Midori realizes that they may have gotten ahead of themselves. She unhappily informs her bosses of her extended maternity leave. They celebrate Jackie's birthday, look Chance Jackie's hair is red just like yours, who knows maybe she'll be heir. Midori takes her time with gardening while Jamal shifts his focus to mastering logic. Midori delivers a second daughter and names her Mu. Shortly after Mu's birth Midori's midlife transition sneaks up on her. At Chances request a few more toys are added to the house. Before they know it it's time to celebrate Mu's transition to toddler, and Chances transition to teen. With two toddlers in the house everyone is kept busy. Their so busy they forget that it's Jackie's turn to transition. Don't worry Jackie, just because your transition snuck past the adults doesn't mean they don't care about you. Midori is looking forward to returning to work and wants to advance another level or two before she has her final simlet. Jamal is coming close to maxing his logic, while Cousin Zach has mastered his painting skill already and has earned a very tidy sum for several of his paintings. Midori knows that a savings of about 26 thousand is nice, it's now where near the 72 thousand plus that she needs to purchase land and build a gym for the town. |
