Phoebe. 3. Family Life.

Previously on the Wishing’s…

Phoebe slept with a few new men, but no pregnancy or commitment passed the one night stand.
Heather planted a forbidden fruit, which Phoebe harvested and it became a healthy baby girl called Grace. So we gained out first Plant Sim ever!
Jenna was abducted by aliens and 3 days later baby Aldrin arrived.
Leo arrives home from school and is pretty boring, other than a tendency to freeze
Heather died. As did Consort and Goneril Capp, Iris Zale and Juniper Valkerie.

Now on with the glory that is summer. 

Leo wanted to meet an alien. Seeing as Jenna has one in her contacts list Miss unpronounceable visits.

Then he wants to be friends with her.
Strangely the first thing she wants to chat about is not her son, but her son’s cousin Grace.

Jenna in a fit of artistic inspiration decides a tattoo would be a dream come true.

Bright yellow daffodils seemed like the best fit.

She snaps a quick shot of local celebrity and her father Seti Capp/Wishing/Morgan whilst she’s at the parlour. They don’t share a single word with each other.

Afterwards she fancies a walk where she happens upon Forrest Zale.

Well I say happen upon. I may have stalked him using the map tags that came with story progression/master controlled, and sent Jenna there to meet him. It’s allowed. It’s kind of in her wish as she wants to get married to no one in particular so it’s not really wrong to point her in the direction of who I would like for her. Is it?

Meanwhile a highly neglected burrito who only ever wanted sleep and a bit of social contact becomes a toddler. With green hair and everything.
She still a highly simplistic needing baby. Perfect for large families.
She does need fun though now. Kind of easing you in gently to their needs.

Leo wanted a date with the alien.

Meanwhile Jenna’s with Forrest is going well.

I just love it when they take phone pictures.

Just lookie when a plant sim moves, this whole trail of flowers goes behind her.
Just loving the plant sim thing. So glad we have Grace. I’m so going to keep her around even if Phoebe has other kids.

Phoebe continues the ignorement of Grace, and all other living creatures. This is rewarded however when she finally creates a Tome Machine! I think it’s my first one.

She promptly wishes to travel both to the past and future. We chose future first. It didn’t go well. She got a negative moodlet, and came out looking scared and trying to slam the alien war on the other side.

Grace becomes the first Sim to realise there is a television in the house. Nobody wants her to learn anything or to grow up well so she is left completely to her own devices.

Jenna enjoys a thoughtful cup of coffee.

Whilst Phoebe takes a break from her sculpting obsession to learn how to play the guitar.
Sometimes Sims are really random.

Leo is on another date with alien when somebody comes down ill outside the theatre. He has to leave the movie to go and help her and make her better.

Strangely the sisters do get along. I’m rather fond of both of them.

Alien proves that I forgot to set the greenhouse doors to household only. She’s hugely older than him, but I think his obsession is waning.

I thought you might like to see the layout of the house.

It also shows that everyone left the house, leaving the babies alone with the alien guest. I didn’t know that could happen.

Jenna finally gets her wish of marriage. She’s been harbouring it since the second Aldrin arrived.

Introducing Forrest Zale.
I let him keep his name, and change Jenna’s to Zale. Iris only had sons so it would be nice to keep the name.

Forrest is the son of Iris Zale, and the grandson of Juniper Valkerie. He has double merits of linking the family to the simselves.

Plus as you will see later he is amazingly fit. I mean seriously ripped.

Grace mean while has finally prised herself away from the gogglebox to do something useful. Phoebe still hasn’t rolled any maternal wishes.
Jenna always wishes them for Aldrin.

Queue midlife crisis.

Heather proves she still has it as a ghost.
Forrest proves he is no better than any other man. It doesn’t matter that Jenna is painting in the next room.

Too right. You should be ashamed!

Darn technophobe sims. Leave them alone for 5 minutes and find some technology to sabotage. AKA hit with a him hammer.

Leo scares sims at the vaccination clinic he ran.

I don’t like him.

Rest in Peace Friends.
I hope you receive more love in death than you did in life.

Thank you for buying me a pet hygenitor.

I told you he was ripped.

Ignore Jenna’s bum and the fact that I dressed him yellow rather his favourite brown.

Little Aldrin has become an adorable little toddler. A toddler is mum actually wishes about.

Jenna and Forrest find time for some love.

Maybe Aldrin will get a brother or sister.

I gave in and built pool for the much desired pool parties. Of course they then all wanted a pool toy, followed by using it.

Phoebe doesn’t spend much time in the pool before she realises she has to finish her 25 sculpture wish.

She’s glued to the thing now.

If only penguin had turned out alright. A giraffe found itself decapitated later to join its two perfect cousins.

Leo finally bores me enough so that I kick him out without a spouse. Bye bye Mr Boring.

Someone put Grace in the playpen. Lets pray she plays with the mirror. f she gains just one toddler skill it will hopefully prompt the others. I don’t like it if they grow up badly.

Phoebe is invited to a party by her uncle Rameses. Not that kind of party. He just didn’t realise he would need to be awake for it.

awww.

I don’t even care that Jenna can’t get into bed.

Phoebe has space in hers.

Jenna masters creativity with a masterpiece painting.

She has now completed her LTW of mastering writing and creativity.

Yay!

Don’t worry the toddlers do still exist. Just!

Which is why I leave them at home whilst I send Phoebe off on her free day. You see every time a Sim reaches 50,000 ltr points I can control them fully, not just be wishes for a whole day.

This results in Horace LaFontaine finding a date. He is one of Erdried Parker’s sons.

Turns out dogs can swim in a poll. This is Horace’s dog and pool. Not ours.

It also marks the turn to Autumn.
Tune in next time to see if the dates yield fruit, a bit of sadness and the joy of a plant child.

Toodles.
