1.13 It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Tick or Treat

So I was wrong… We aren’t done with Generation 1 just yet. Eli has about a sim week before he ages up… SOOO ON WITH CHAPTER 13 OF THE FIRST GENERATION.

When we had last left off we learned Eli took the heirship, and three of the spares took off for China.

They have now returned home. I finally pulled out some of Kara and Louisa’s junk and hung it on the wall. Louisa’s prom photo, Kara’s high school diploma and most likely to whatever award. Also the martial arts dummy.

Kara immediately went to use it. I guess she got over her fear of being beaten up by its wooden limbs.

Isaac was making cookies, like a good chef dad.

I happened to check on the teens and- what the heck are you doing? You’re supposed to be at school.

Eli: I decided I would rather do homework on this bridge in the snow.

Eli: Just kidding, I decided I’m just going to float through this glitchy bridge.

WTF get back here and go to school.

ARE YOU RETARDED? IS THIS MY NEW HEIR? GET BACK HERE.

Eli: Heh, okay fine.

… Idiot.

Isaac had a wish to catch a bug, so I sent him out to these butterflies. And there was a little lizard beside then freezing in the cold so I let Isaac bring him home.

I should probably change his clothes to be more wintery but… I’m too lazy.

Meet Philemon. He’s an Agama lizard.

I put him in Irwin and Eli’s room although they didn’t really ask for a new roomate.

I think it will be okay 🙂

Kara: Yes I’m calling to quit my stupid job at the spa.

Yea, I let Kara quit her part time job. I felt bad for making the oldest two kids work when I never made the younger siblings sign up for an after school job.

Louisa: Not enough to let me quit mine I guess.

Hush and play your chess.

LOOK! It’s our mayor spouse looking incredibly old.

Nicole: Long day.

Must have been. But you’ve still got long days ahead. No retirement until you top your career. We need POINTS.

OH!

Jace: I finally hit level 4. Are you proud of me?

Sure sure. I can finally get portraits done! Yay more points!

Here are a few of the pictures Jace took in China. They’re all pretty sucky. I sold them all after that.

Jute: It’s dumb that I didn’t get any votes in the heir poll. I’m pretty sure I could achieve popping out a lot of kids and looking pretty.

Irwin: Cannot compute. Get out of my way.

Heard crying outside, so I sent Nicole out to investigate. It was her old friend, Emma. Nicole took it upon herself to give her mourning friend a motivational speech about… Divorce? Don’t you think that’s a little insensitive seeing as her husband just died?

Then proceeded to mooch campaign funds from yet another one of her mourning old pals.

The teens brought two boys home so I went over to check them out. This is Devon DeLuca. Pretty cute I think.

And Enrique, that weird gross kid who asked out Kara when she was a young adult. Ew.

Jute: Cannot reach cute boy.

Kara: Shut up, Jute. Can’t you see I’m trying to bond with Irwin right now?

Irwin has a wish to be best friends forever with Kara. They were good friends already but it seems to be taking forever for them to max out their friendship bar.

Uh oh. Jute went in for the high five, but it turns out Devon is clumsy. I guess it upset her that he missed her high five?

She apologized, although I don’t think it was her fault that he isn’t hand-eye coordinated.

I’m surprised to see you smiling. I set up your twin with a guy and left you empty handed.

Jace: This is my ‘I’m mad and I don’t know what to do face.’

Don’t worry, if I don’t find you a boyfriend story progression will. Probably.

And our precious heir is by himself skilling in his bedroom. Boring boring.

At least Enrique the weirdo came to keep him company.

Louisa got invited on a date so I sent her out to meet him. Kinda weird looking.

So I gave him a makeover so I could view him better.

Cute, but he’s got a real big nose.

He’s also friendly. And married. Nope and nope.

Devon: He’s in my way!

How? He’s a million miles away AND he’s not solid. You could sit on him if you wanted to.

Louisa was going home via the taxi in the background when I spotted this girl.

I brought her into CAS real quick and wow she’s pretty. Her name is Tammi GilsCarbo. She’s the sister of Camilla, Irwin’s friend that we met a few chapters ago, if you remember her.

They have good genetics, but Tammi was making a weird face so I decided to follow her until she dropped it.

… And she didn’t. Oh well, maybe we will see her around. I need options for Eli.

It’s snowflake day so I messed with the house a little bit more. Upstairs is still empty except for the master bedroom.

Nice sculpture you made there.

Eli: It’s dedicated to Philemon, our new lizard friend.

They boys took to the new addition easily.

Jace: YAY SNOWFLAKE DAY!

*THUMP*

Cue Snowflake Day wishes.

Maybe you should put on some warmer clothes.

Jute: I have a scarf and long socks. What else do I need?

I guess you’re already dead anyways.

Well done on ruining the fun with your intense urges to do homework.

Jute: Hey Devon, you wanna come meet me at the festival? No? Oh, okay.

Awkward.

And what were the oldest members of the household up to? Nothing. Literally nothing. Get out of bed and do something!

Still building up that relationship, as you can see.

Isaac: I can hardly focus on happiness when that dumb baby is crying.

Eli: Yea, baby shut up.

Of course the two ghosts would build a Grim Reaper snowman.

Nicole still wasn’t doing anything when the family returned home.

Nicole: I celebrate Snowflake Day by sleeping late and eating cake.

That’s how I celebrate every day.

The doorbell randomly rang, and I looked outside to see Candi Ferrari, daughter of Emma, Nicole’s friend. I gave her a makeover to gauge her cuteness.

Candi: Trick or treat!

Nicole: Um, I think you have your holidays mixed up.

Candi: *Smiles adorably*

Eli: *Wanders aimlessly*

Nicole: Okay, fine.

Since she was cute, Eli went to introduce himself.

Eli: You seem a little crazy, but it’s nice to meet you.

Then she ran off into the night.

Eli: Okay, that was weird.

Apparently a lot of neighborhood kids have issues, because we got three tick or treaters. I’ve never had that many. Even on the real holiday.

Louisa: Who are all of these kids getting in the way of me arguing with the evil chicken?

What? It’s 10 pm. Go to bed and leave your mom alone to mooch more of her old friends.

Louisa: You make me SICK.

Louisa: Your shiny eye existence makes me so mad that my hair cuts through my head.

Louisa finally made it to bed and Kara woke up to beat up the training dummy at 2 am.

I think I’m going to cut this chapter here. Who do you guys think is cuter, Tammi, the girl I saw on the street corner, or Candi, the weirdo who went trick or treating on Christmas? Eli has yet to officially meet Tammi, and he didn’t have enough time to learn anything about Candi. I know they both have boyfriends because story progression is almost too good at setting sims up.

I think there will only be one or two more chapters in Gen 1 and then we will move onto Gen 2! I’ll probably kick out Louisa in the next part as well. I’m thinking of keeping Kara around until she finishes her LTW for the points. We will see. Thanks for reading!
