The Curious Family- Round 2

 

Here we are back in Strangetown to visit the Curious Brothers.

Pascal is the eldest brother and still wishes to stargaze on a regular basis. This house is 8 strong so no chance of another abduction.

Pascal's siblings are Vidcund and Lazlo, they are teaching the toddlers some skills- looks like Vidcund is teaching his son Orion to potty while Lazlo is teaching one of his twins, Astra or Pandora. :)

The eldest alien child is Luna, the daughter of Pascal.

The other member of the family is Crystal, she is married to Lazlo and their relationship is kind of strange, on/off, they like/dislike each other but despite that Crystal still wants a baby. She finally found her true calling career in Athletics and starts later as a Starter.

Pascal asked Bella on a date and they went to the Crypt o' nightclub where they snuggled after a nice dinner.

You may remember they threw hearts for each other and developed a crush during Johnny Smith's wedding to Ophelia Nigmos.

They became the best of friends before their date ended.

Pascal arrived home just in time to see his nephew and Vidcund's son Orion celebrate becoming a child.

During the night Bella snuck onto the lot and left not only a bouquet of Roses for Pascal but this expensive Bust decoration too.

Early Sunday morning Vidcund helped Orion with his homework. (actually it was Luna's but she's not complaining). Orion's personality is 10 outgoing, 10 playful and 10 nice!

Orion loves Nature like his Uncle Lazlo but whilst looking for bugs he disturbed a whole nest of bees and had to try and outrun them for a while.

Crystal's first day of work brought her a chance card.... she decided to take the deal,

That paid off nicely! Well done Crystal. Not only the bonus but a promotion to All Star.

Her rather smelly husband came home as a Platform Jumper...and then jumped into the shower.

Pascal went on a second date with Bella that night.

It's love. :)

On Monday Top Secret Researcher Pascal and Elementary School Teacher Vidcund are on hand to celebrate Luna's first A+. Incidentally Luna is 10 Nice and 10 Neat.

Crystal put her new career reward to good use and maxed her body skill.

Vidcund maxed his Creativity skill at the mysterious hydroponic career reward. (Only mysterious in that no one was in that career although Slacker would suit lazy and slobby Lazlo). :D

As if the day wasn't busy enough Monday ended with Lazlo's twin daughter's birthdays. Yay no more nappies/no sleep.

I didn't write down the numeric but Astra is highly outgoing, playful and active whilst her sister Pandora is highly outgoing and nice.

The family celebrate with pizza.

On Tuesday Lazlo earned his Silver Garden badge.

Vidcund became a High School Teacher and now everyone can benefit from his career reward bookcase.

Later that night Pascal's wish of seeing Luna get into private school was granted. Of course Orion, Pandora and Astra were accepted too.

Lazlo and Crystal have been building bridges between them, Crystal admitted the stress of not finding her career was getting to her.

Wednesday saw 2 of the kids' bringing school friends home for a play date. Later Pascal would be promoted to Theorist whilst Vidcund got the role of University Guest Lecturer and later still Lazlo is a Power Leveller.

 Luna turned teenager! She rolled family and wishes to reach her Golden Anniversary. She also wishes for college.

Even later still....Lazlo worked on his Logic skill.

and Pascal maxed cleaning. It seemed a long day. ;D

Thursday morning saw a busy family breakfast.

Then Pascal reached the top of the Science career and achieved his lifetime wish.

He grabbed Luna and they left for a new lot. We'll catch up with them next for a day or two. ;)

The rest of the smartly dressed children went off to school on Friday.

Vidcund got a chance card which gave him a promotion, he worked a double shift which resulted in a promotion to College Senior Professor.

Lazlo is a Real Time Strategizer. (Level 8)

The children work diligently on their homework.

Crystal hasn't had many more promotions (currently an MVP)  but this was an amazing chance card result!

Lazlo made Guild Leader, level 9 and Vidcund is a College Dean of Students. (level 9).

Vidcund played red hands with Orion.

Whilst Pandora is hustling her Dad Lazlo at the chess table!

The very early hours of Saturday is where we leave the week, with Lazlo and Crystal trying for a baby... I swear I heard bells. ;D

Summary- 

A full on and fun week at the Curious household. I needed Pascal to move out so he can hopefully get with Bella and of course Luna went with her dad although I'm sure college isn't far off for her.

This house is a little buggy- one of the twins was getting stuck all the time going to the school bus but I worked around it with move_objects. I often wonder with renovating an original house if it causes problems like this?

Cordial Sisters- Round 2

 

We've jumped over to Belladonna Cove to visit the Cordial sisters. 

The House/Roof is a little different on the outside as I have refurbished upstairs (and have never figured out the whole dormer/roof thing). :D

 

I found the upstairs cramped and had no chance of fitting double beds in. Also the girls were starting to get cold all the time because of the way the roof was designed.

So I extended the whole floor out over the lower level which gave me room to add double beds. I made both bathrooms accessible from bedrooms and hallway and even had room to create a single bedroom. (I realise this picture is taken from the front of the home whilst the top is from the back but you get the gist).

The Sisters went to the Crypt O Nightclub in the very early hours of Monday morning where Samantha thought it would be hilarious to joy buzzer the local Vampire.

He was not impressed, shoved her and made her cry. But he didn't turn her into a bat so that's something.

Back home and time for some shut-eye before work. The beauty of being a witch is that they can teleport...

Straight into their new bedrooms... they were impressed. whew. ;)

Samantha started the proper daytime off by creating rainbows and butterflies. She left for her job as a G.P

Both Sisters are Knowledge sims of course, Kimberly is following her dream of being an evil criminal mastermind and bought Christian Love home today but no promotion. (She's a Con Artist at present).

He's networking something...

ooh a blind date.

Robi Huerta is the lucky man, he and Kimberly have 2 bolts, the date was good but nothing special.

Samantha brought Toby Siew home from work, no promotion for her either.

But the girls ended the day as best friends so not all was lost. 

On Tuesday Kimberly got a promotion to Getaway Driver where she is due to work again today. She'd learned enough magic to get herself a Familiar. A cute black cat she called Raven.

The early hours of Wednesday saw the first snow on the ground as Kimberly came home, no promotion but a chance card gave her 5K and 1 mechanical skill.

The double shift had taken it out of her and she passed out just before she got to her bed.

Before Samantha left that morning for her new position as a Specialist the snow fell heavily onto the lot.

A bad decision for Samantha led to a demotion.

Thankfully she was in a good enough mood to fly back to work where she regained her Specialist status.

The stress of it all combined with the winter chill made her rather ill though.

But being a well trained Witch Samantha had the ability to instantly cure herself with a simple spell. 

She too got her own Familiar, a white cat called Misty.

While Samantha worked on her logic, Misty worked on her claws. :)

The early hours of Thursday and Kimberly is a Bank Robber.

While Kimberly slept Samantha had a chance card which gave her 1 Logic and Charisma skill and a promotion to Surgeon. She enjoyed a good chat about it all with a passing neighbour.

Kimberly maxed her Creativity skill.

Then set fire to the kitchen making dinner. 

(having flashbacks of Lilith and Angela- though it was always Angela who burnt stuff). :D

Thankfully the fire was soon put out but Kimberly's day only got worse when she lost 15K on a chance card. Good job they have decent funds! 

It didn't take Samantha long to finish off her Logic skills after being gifted the freebie at work. She too got promoted and is a Medical Researcher. She has earned 25K now.

Kimberly shows no romantic wishes but it doesn't hurt to scope. Still no 3 bolters but new acquaintances are always good.

Kimberly got a promotion to Cat Burgler, I sent her straight back to work even though she's a bit tired. She too has earned 25K

hmm decisions... does she go Tom Cruise or play it safe? .....

Not being Tom Cruise she decided to play it safe and yes! 50K now earned and some nice skills as well as a promotion to Counterfeiter.

On Saturday Samantha finally invited her 3 bolt love Gabriel Green over! 

She had learned to summon a spectral servant who would clean up for her,

leaving her free to make pie and spend quality time with Gabriel.

Kimberly really wants to get electrocuted but even the installation of a hot tub combined with some Spring rain didn't work.

Sunday was the Sisters second day off this week and they flew to Central Park West.

Kimberly has men lining up to meet her but she is so fussy. 

She did ask this guy on a date but he rejected her. He was lucky she didn't turn him into a toad. (Now that would have been a great spell!)

Back home and starving Kimberly ordered pizza, tipped the delivery guy and spent a little time chatting before he left.

and that's where we leave the girls, munching their pizza and debating the weeks' events.

Summary-

A very busy week work wise, the girls both did well with their prospective careers. Samantha wishes to max her skills as a LTW and did both Cleaning and Logic this week which is promising. 

She hasn't rolled many wishes about Gabe and I couldn't quite decide if I wanted him moving here or her there so decided to leave it until his turn and we will see what happens. It is Spring now here so hopefully it will be on his lot at some point too. :)

Maybe then Kimberly will find someone, or spend her life making spells.

I didn't take many pictures of the spells but found some that were quite amusing. :D

p.s. I still feel that Kimberly should be spelled Kimberley. :D
