Goodbye Cymmi, you and Alegra contributed seventeen kittens to the neighborhood. Woohoo! Nice for the adoption pool. Frannie was very upset to see Cymmi go.
Painting was the best mood raiser for the kids when arriving home from school. Not only was it fun, but the income filled their pockets! Luckily they did not have any problems finding buyers for their work.
Pop Sim Conner was always ready and willing to spend time with his little sisters. Frannie was always thankful for his help!
Even bath time was not beyond Conner's attentions.
The boys often brought home friends after school. Marsha Bruenig on the far left, then Orlando Centowski in the blue, the to the far right Skyliana Robbins. Frannie was in her element being surrounded by the kids!
This day happened to be Natasha and Laurel's birthday. Again, Connor and Sage were on hand to do the duty!
The first born twin Laurel.
The Generation Two Heiress, Natasha.
Dinner time for Natasha and Laurel! Get out of the way, Alegra!
The birthday party wound down, and all the extra kids went home. Left over burned breakfast pastries were for dinner. Berry joined his mother in getting some toddler training in for Natasha and Laurel. There was no smart milk or thinking caps this time around as the mood had been low in the house lately.
Crazy Potty Training Eyes! Not the most glamorous job in the world but one that had to be none the less. Once completed, the girls were put to bed.
The next day after all the partying hoopla Frannie watched her two young daughters and reflected on her life. She was glad she did everything she did. Not one regret. Her and her little family will continue to thrive selling paintings, then books and manuscripts if anyone decides to use the computer in the house. (Not one Sim had even paid attention to it....)
Fatima came over after school. Frannie made effort to have a conversation with her. Fatima listened politely and said life in the trailer park was great...she had everything all to herself....
Fatima also said she got lots of rest...life was good over there!
Connor and Sage were still helping as much as they could. Sage still attempted to do the cooking, and Connor took over repair duties.
Memberships continue
Laurel and Natasha received their memberships to My Muse...
Faith received hers to Peerless Park.
The day finally came. for Frannie's birthday. No one needed to help her with the cake. She invited all the kids' fathers, plus one extra. And, Fatima was in the house. She came over quite often.
ONE......................................................TWO.....................................................THREE!!!
Frannie is one sexy schmexy Senior! At her aging up, the house bank was at 14,867 simoleons.
Who else grew up????
Jessie Capehart. Not bad! Not bad!
It was one age up party after another.....Jessie's kids Logan and Faith were becoming teens as well. Not sure why Frannie invited over Korey Jitmakusol. He was a close family friend though, that is for sure!
FORTUNE - Own Five Top Level Businesses
Logan was first to age up! What a good looking young man. That LTW ain't gonna happen.
Logan: Yeah, but things could have been better during my childhood. My buddy Orlando Bertino had a birthday too.
POPULARITY - BECOME MAYOR
HiYa Faith! Sorry you will never become Mayor.
Faith felt the same way as her brother. Her friend Brittany Parker (Whom she met during the park outing) had a birthday too.
The party was very busy....and no one knew who to cheer for. It was getting pretty convoluted. Next it was Natasha and Laurel's birthday.
Laurel how do you feel about sharing your birthday with half your family???
The last one to grow up...the youngest making her the Generation Two Heiress...Natasha. Get a good look, there she is.
Eventually the jealousy started between Remington and BJ. Of course, Remmi took it out on Frannie. Alon took no note of the debacle. But that did not put a damper on the party. It was broken up by the cops...and was a "good time".
Life slowly started returning to normal in the Starving Artist household with accumulation of money and aspiration. Connor and Berry became BFS, sending Connor into the highest of happiness. (POP SIMS!!!) However, Berry was wondering why Sage didn't feel the same way about him.
Natasha was becoming a great painter in her own right. Ooohhh...love this little guy she painted a picture of.
Remington came by and knocked over the trash can thinking about Frannie. Natasha went out to talk to her dad, to try to get to know him a little better. Maybe she could smooth things over with him. He was one tough customer.
The family bank quickly expanded to over 16K, and it was time to add more room to the house. The tents really needed to go, when Cymmi, Elisa and Sarah were haunting no one got any rest and tempers grew short.
FLOOR PLAN
First floor. The stairs is where the family had their easles set up. One bathroom just did not work, not at all. Bathing was done on a rotational basis. Let alone, getting to go pee when someone first felt the need to go.
New second story. Beds enough for everyone, a second bathroom and the painting room. After this renovation, the family had $4,422 left. Still a lot! (There are three beds in the small bedroom. One is on the other side of the wall).
The hobby plaque for Faith! Go you, girl!
Faith: What is Connor and Sage's dad doing here...
BJ Ryan stopped by because his sons were having a birthday. Yes, it was birthday time again. Connor and Sage were going to become men.
Sage aren't you da man!
OOOhhh I feel so baaaad. I wanted to go to University. Guess that wasn't in the cards for me....
Connor felt really happy after his birthday!
Good for you Connor! Maybe you can start working on that LTW of 20 Best Friends. Connor: Maybe!
I wanted to go to University! Oh noooo....I'm melting! Melting!
And this is where we end this chapter! Finally! Sage's aspiration failure is a point off the Challenge points! Boo! Logan thinks he is nutz...and his dad just stands there smiling trying not to notice.
Odd Pics Out
Alegra had her Grim Party.....poor Sage was the only one that came to it. That sadness was something Sage didn't need!
Elisa used to complain about the cats on the lot, she would get angry thinking about Cymmi with a big X over Cymmi's face. Turns out she LOVES Cymmi.
Yes....all those birthdays happened during one party. When I started Frannie's, that is all I intended to do. Then the notices popped for the rest! So and so will age up in one day! Oh no...I had to cake them all up at once. I was frankly tired of raising toddlers, get those girls grown up.
I mentioned earlier I felt bad making Frannie look for a different baby daddy every pregnancy. During chapter review before publishing, I reviewed the rules and realized Frannie could have moved in BJ Ryan since he was an NPC. So from this point forward if any future heirs meet an NPC, and wants to stay with him/her, they will be moved in. Males will purposefully look for an NPC. If there is a Romance Heir/Heiress, well...I will cross that bridge when I come to it!

Just had marathon session read. You had it rough right at the beginning, but it has all turned out ok, and now waiting for generation three, all the children are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteOh my I have fallen in love with Generation 2 that is for sure. I cant wait for Natasha to go out in the world and find her an NPC man. Or two. :). I think I am going to use that as my personal sub challenge.
DeleteNatasha is gorgeous, but I think every sim in this family is too! Love Frannie and her clan. It never ceases to amaze me how much your sims achieve! :)
