Generation 1.11 | Rules | Generation 1.13
Welcome back to the Latte Family and the crazy Name Game we are currently playing. We are still in Generation 1, and Kynize can’t even have the last baby she needs because the house is full.
This update is going to see a lot going on, so let’s get started. When we ended last time Yuri had just grown into a teen. He is ready to take on the world, but still has to finish high school.
We are starting to struggle with a house this small with this many sims. Only 2 bathrooms between the 8 sims is just too little, especially as things break all the time. We invested in an outdoor camping showing just to provide additional options. Otherwise, below is what we tend to get.
Kevin has expanded his garden, and then has had a LOT of trouble keeping up with it. The plants are starting to die off again. There are just too many sims with too many needs to keep up with some days.
Yuri may be evil, but ever the good older brothers, Kevin and Yuri both helped their sisters with their school projects Monday evening.
Yuri: Mom told me I had to help.
Well at least you still listen to your mom.
Yuri: She isn’t knee deep in toddlers anymore, she actually pays attention, so I have to play the part. The day will come….
We’ll see.
Regardless, the projects are finished in no time.
With hours, likely, to spare, Isla finishes up her final skill points and a cake is made. Poor Ukupanipo is sick, and the family, in general are as miserable as ever, but they come together to celebrate anyway.
It once again takes way too much effort to get anyone to bring her to the cake, but eventually it happens, and Isla is growing from a toddler to a child.
Isla managed to get Top-Notch toddler and become a bookworm. She is interested in getting through the creatively gifted child aspiration. So to get her started she heads out to get inspired by the clouds.
This feels like a great place to show the make overs both Isla and Yuri went through. Let’s start with Isla, whom you can sort of see above. She is absolutely adorable to me, and I love her. Of all the kids, she might, at the moment, have my favorite look so far.
Yuri is going for the hiding in plain sight, or fake it till you make it, status mentality. He is a very handsome sim, however.
Now, let’s get back to the action. Since Isla has a day before she has to go to school, she focuses on trying to get some creativity going and draws at the desk while she is still inspired.
After school her siblings all need to sit down and do some homework. We are still trying to find the right balance of objects that provide fun for the kids. If anyone has suggestions on what provides the most fun, especially for a group, I’m all for it!
Since Yuri is now a teen and also acquired his mermaid tail he also find school to be very dehydrating and typically needs a trip to the ocean before starting on anything else. So now the boys head down together.
After a trip to the beach they work on a school project together. Kevin may not always agree with Yuri, but Kevin has been around Yuri’s whole life and there is a connection there, evil or not.
Kynzie is trying to get out more before the final baby has to come and also to gain some followers and fame. She takes a break and eats out at a food stand and shares her thoughts with her followers.
She then comes back home and livestreams a game she has been playing. It’s slow going, but she is almost at the 100,000 follower mark needed for her next promotion.
We then have yet another birthday party. Is it any wonder that Kynzie has put on a little weight with all these birthday cakes around all the time, and the fact she was home 24/7 for a while there? Still, Nick had managed to reach his aspiration awhile ago and was part way to another, although he didn’t quite make it. Still, he was happy to come up to the cake and become a teen.
Apparently I caught his eyes closed, but that’s ok, you’ll see them. He became Mentally Gifted and Loves the Outdoors. His ultimate goal is to amass a fortune (much like his brother, but in legal ways) and become a Mansion Barron.
Ukupanipo needs to read books for his newest aspiration, and so he sits down with the girls to read while they work on homework. The look on Isla’s face her is precious to me.
With no toddlers left in the house, and being a family of mermaids (besides Kynzie) the whole family takes a fun day at the beach.
There were a ton of mermaids out this day, but here is a look of Yuri’s tail. I know Nick is one of the ones out there too, I believe he is the other blue tail, but I could be wrong. I wish the tail automatically showed up
The twins enjoyed the water as well and keep working on their social skills in attempting to reach that social butterfly aspiration. I have never completed this one, so we will see how it goes.
As the day got later, the girls worked on a sandcastle together, and Kevin and Nick shared some meme’s on their phones.
Finally, the whole family, after a day of a lot of fun, sat down for some food and homework. Everyone worked together to get everything done, although that did basically destroy all the fun they had had, but it was a good day.
I think this is a slightly shorter entry, but I think that is a good place to end this for now. The girls will be growing up to teens before too much longer, and Kevin will be a young adult in less than a game week I think. He already has an A in high school and I just want to give him the chance to skill up a little bit more.
I am so happy this family has been as successful as they have been. We’ve had our ups and downs, and there are still struggles, they still have very little money and the house is so small for this many sims, but they all get along well, and are an overall happy family, even if they always look sad in pictures!
