Comic Summer: Post 3.10

Post 3.09 | Rules | Family Tree | Post 3.11

Hello and welcome back! We are going to have our final heir poll at the end of this update and I hope you are excited to vote! I am excited to see who you pick so I can get through this challenge and be done!! Let’s take a very fast look at our goals.

---

So nothing really changed from the last update, but Rye does have the required writing skill to do his book and we should be wrapping up some skills this update, so let’s hop in. This is going to be a slightly longer update, so I hope you won’t mind!

We start with Rye bathing Basil, who is still a terrific dog and is still around. Analisa gives him lots of love and hugs, and training. He’s just the best dog but had gotten a bit dirty.

You may or may not remember that Petunia had twins a couple of updates back, and now they are toddlers, Tulip and Thyme. Maura Fyres is one of Bay Comic’s girls, and she gave him another little boy named Oak.

The final baby, Baby N, is on it’s way and none too soon either since Rye is preparing a trip to the forest to gather up plants for his herbalism skill. This is the last skill we need to get high levels. So Analisa is going to have to go through most of this pregnancy alone.

This is apparently the only picture of Rye I have in the forest, where he is hanging out with the hermit from the woods. He manages to find all but one of the plants, gets all but one of those identified and learned the special herbalism concoction from the hermit. Then we headed home.

Where we find a VERY pregnant Analisa. She has kept working with Basil, and has been busy teaching Pine some of his skills so she can get her parenting maxed out. Which she does finally learn to do. That should help with the baby or babies when they come. If tradition holds, Analisa should have twins again.

Loyal Basil, never far from his favorite sims. If it isn’t Analisa it’s one of the O-twins. He really seems to love this family and I adore having him as a dog. He is full trained at this point, so Analisa just needs to practice with him a little more to max her skill.

After the trip to the forest Rye focuses on completing his robotics skill and thus, hopefully, getting the final promotion in his career. Oceana is out again “helping” Rye with his craft. Before long, however, we not only have a good quality cleaning bot, but robotics has been maxed!

• 

• 

Another night another extended family update. Now Aspen and Buck (Birch and Misty’s kids) are children and Cyprus (Wade’s eldest) is a YA and might be ready to start a family of his own soon.

Oceana still likes to dance and Oriole practices his dance moves with his aunt. Rye works on reading up a little more on herbalism so he can hopefully concoct enough herbal remedies to finish that skill.

The final birth is finally here, and while Analisa goes through the pains of labor we head to the hospital, where amazingly, the same person who delivered Oryx and Oriole is the same person to deliver these final babies. Yes, babies, it’s a set of twin girls!

Welcome to the challenge little Nyala and little Nerine. Analisa is happy to be done with that pregnancy and she is ready to take care of these last two little babies for this challenge!

Back at home, the flamingo flock has been added to with the final flamingo’s of the challenge It’s quite a flock for sure, but I’m glad there won’t be any more added, this is plenty!

We also get one final look of Rye being an adorable toddler because it’s almost his birthday. This is the first toddler I’ve had play on the chair and it’s so cute!

• 

• 

But as I said, it was birthday time. Analisa baked up a cake and then had to go tend to the N-twins while Rye brought little Pine to the cake. He grows up very handsome and looks different from his brothers. He went from Independent to Lazy and got Social Butterfly. He did not even get to Happy Toddler, and won’t complete his aspiration since he’s a Bad Apple and there is no way I’m getting through Social Butterfly without control.

He quickly goes over and hangs out with one of his older brothers while they finish up the motor skill. Both Oriole and Oryx finish up the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration and get the Artistic Prodigy aspiration added next.

We have a few more updates from the extended family. Jay is expecting a new baby with his wife Kyra, and then 3 more babies were added to the family. Rose had a little boy, and Kellie (Wade’s wife) added twins.

Analisa, with just a little additional work with Basil has mastered our next to last skill, Pet Training. We have one skill left to finish and that is herbalism, but that is going to take up a bit more time.

Analisa celebrates her accomplishments with her husband.

Ok you too, be careful with that. The last time that happened, the two behind you happened.

Analisa: You worry too much, no more babies for us.

Rye: Yeah, but don’t expect me to keep my hands off my wife.

Jumping slightly forward in time and it’s time for the final babies to grow into toddlers. It’s hard to believe we are this close to being done. Once the heir poll ends we will have until these 2 grow into YA or Adults (depending on who gets chosen) to complete the final goals.

Little Nyala, held by her daddy, and little Nerine in Analisa’s arms grow up together. They are not identical, but they are very similar. Both of them end up rolling silly as their trait as toddlers. That should be fun. Nerine is a spellcaster, but Nyala is not sadly. So while it’s easy enough to change her, that means Pine and Nyala are not at the top of the heir poll wish list.

Analisa takes one of the babies down to play in the kiddie pool. I love this thing, it’s so cute! It makes them both playful. After that is done we got do some make-overs.

Here are the final two kids for this generation. Nerine, which is a flower that can range from white to crimson gets pink for her color, and Nyala is an antelope type creature and therefore gets brown and sometimes orange for hers. I thin they are adorable!

Both girls get hats like their mom for warm weather outfits, and we get started on potty training right away. However, this update is getting long enough and we still need to do an heir poll, so that will be it for the family. I know you don’t get to know Nyala and Nerine much before the poll, but this is really just about who carries us to the end.

Before that, however, let’s look really quick at the extended family updates.

We start with Aspen, the daughter of Birch and Kayla. Then we have Buck, Misty’s son. Last on the top row is Ivy, Bay’s only daughter so far. On the bottom row are Bay’s twin son’s (so brothers to Ivy) Elm and then Eagle. They have a different mother than Ivy and are very close in age. The final two adorable kids are Petunia’s twins with her husband, Thyme and Tulip. They are super cute.

And to wrap up everything this time we have the promised heir poll. So who will take us over the finish line of this challenge? To recap what they will need to do, they will need to write a book, create a relic and use it on someone outside the household, be a spell caster, and complete a nature aspiration.

So your choices are, starting on the left:

• Oryx Comic (Orange): Spellcaster, Self-Assured, Active, Hates Children
• Oriole Comic (White): Spellcaster, Outgoing, Bro, Perfectionist
• Pine Comic (Gray): Bad Apple, Non-spellcaster, Lazy, Hates Children*, Child of the Ocean*
• Nyala Comic (Brown): Non-spellcaster, Mean*, Snob*, Genius*
• Nerine Comic (Pink): Spellcaster, Goofball*, Materialistic*, Squeamish*

So my current choice would be either Oryx or Oriole as they can get their goals done before their sisters are YA and that would end the challenge a little earlier. Since I’m already done with basically all of the goals this would be ideal, but I love the girls too and will abide by either decision.

Thanks for voting for the final heir, we are that much closer to being done with this challenge and the poll will close on the morning of the 26th, so get your votes it!
