We've moved from Pleasantview Uni back to the main 'hood to see the Caliente sisters' week play out.
You can see the house is the same as last round- the addition of a third bedroom happened last time to accommodate Dina's Daughter Lissa who is still a toddler.
Here is the family. Fortune sim Dina wishes to be a Space Pirate someday and is currently a Dread Pirate. Romance lover Nina (though secretly Knowledge I feel) is currently a Home Video Editor but wishes to be a Celebrity Chef someday. She's teaching Lissa a nursery rhyme while Dina works on her body skill.
Dina's ex-husband Michael Bachelor comes out to haunt, a lot. He's just scared Nina.
After some little sleep Nina made a best friend.
She then found the Culinary career where she will start as a Drive through clerk.
She and Lissa are besties too.
Nina & Dina take advantage of a nanny to go downtown to buy some new clothes and phones before meeting some new people.
They get back in time to see Lissa become a child.
Hard to see but Lissa gave a huge cheer at her custom pink hair and glasses- and a little make up, of course- she does have a cool Auntie who helped her choose.
As the sisters were promoted a few times last round they use the funds to redecorate the living room and add a nice fire to see them through winter.
Nina is also chief cook in the house and takes requests from her niece as to what they should have for dinner later.
The house looks pretty covered in snow and shows up the fact that I missed some painting outside when I built Lissa's room. :D
Mum & Daughter wade through the snow to their carpools.
Nina took advantage of some solitude and working later that evening and had a lovely date with Mitch.
Like all kids- big and small- Lissa loves to make a snow angel.
She had to come in and be sensible though when the Headmaster of a private school showed up. He was just impressed enough (91/90) to let her join his school.
Much more fun later though when Santa arrived just as everyone had gone to bed!
Soon he was Lissa's best friend and he left the family a lovely stereo.
On Thursday after what seemed like very little sleep Dina helped Lissa with her homework.
Then worked on a skill of her own before watching Lissa go off to school in her smart new uniform.
Nina left for work after saying goodbye to a walkby townie Leo, who had offered her discounts on furnishings in the future.
Dina got promoted to Hostage Negotiator and bought a colleague Samuel Miguel home from work. She also celebrated earning 25K and then cheered her daughter's first A+!
On Friday the kitchen got a makeover too.
Lissa loves to read stories about princesses and castles.
Nina got promoted to Fast Food Shift Manager.
On Saturday although she was due to work Dina woke up with a very bad cough. She called in sick (my first sim to legitimately do so!). She needs body skills for her final promotion so I sent her to rest first.
Before she did she invited Mortimer Goth over- it was nice for him and Lissa to get to know one another- Mortimer is her Father after all. ;)
Then Lissa invited her schoolpal Pong over and made friends properly with him.
Aunt Nina had left lots of food out for the growing kids.
Nina met Emily Lee and spent some time getting to know her.
Before going back to tending her hydroponic plants.
Dina finally had the 'healthy again' pop up and worked on her body skills for tomorrow.
The bedrooms and bathroom all got a makeover.
After an afternoon of working out Dina was grateful for her new comfortable big bed.
Nina was promoted to Hostess and after a busy shift on her feet was the first to enjoy a bubble bath in the new tub.
On Sunday Nina harvested her first plant before setting more seed.
A game of red hands before she left for work ensured Dina's good mood.
Nature lover Lissa bit off more than she could chew when she hunted down some bugs.
No promotion for Nina today but she ended her day on a high after inviting Mitch over for some woohoo.
Dina too finished off a great week by completing her first lifetime wish!
Summary-
A good week here. I wasn't sure (and still am not) whether to separate the sisters' as I often do but so far they are all getting along and the money has been helpful from both jobs to revamp the house.
Lissa will be a teenager next time, will she follow her Mum or Auntie's aspiration or will the dice roll her something completely different?
I moved Michael's urn outside and didn't see him a whole lot the rest of the week. I need to learn how to move the gravestone to a community lot, the last time I tried the grave disappeared. :D
