EPIC Tripp: It’s Just Business – 6.03

Post 6.02 | Rules | Family Tree | Post 6.04

We are back with another update for EPIC Tripp. We are slowly working our way through this generation, and last time Bonnie was getting close with the guy who is likely going to be her husband for this part. Before we get into the update let’s remember what we are working on.

---

So Bonnie is working her way up the business career. I haven’t decided what career to put her husband in when he joins the family but we’ll figure that out when we need to.

Bonnie is taking on more of the responsibility for the garden. It will be nice when she gets to the level of being able to just tend the garden all together and not have to do watering, weeding, and harvesting all separately.

All three of these ladies are spending a little more time trying to get in shape. The pool gets a lot of use by some of them, and the pool side towels and chairs as well.

It is now WinterFest and the family celebrates by decorating the tree. Bonnie then invites her intended, Rene, over for opening presents. The family then also enjoys a grand meal.

After the meal Bonnie gives Rene a special present and they share their first real kiss. Then Miranda and Abby also share a special moment in the kitchen of themselves. Seems the holiday and older age are causing some additional sweetest between these guys.

The next day Bonnie continues to bond with the bees in the garden. We continued to have a bit of an issue with the bee boxes, and ended up clearing out the cache and re-loading the game. That seemed to solve the issues we were having.

Abby makes a visit, after Bonnie leaves for work, to the original homestead of the Tripp’s. This is the house her great great grandma built, or at least the lot. The house was added onto a bit by great grandma Belle. She makes a collection circuit of the area to look for the final metals/crystals.

Miranda cracks me up with her tense mood in which is caused by the thunderstorm happening outside, but then she decides she wants to go out and “relax” on the beach towels by the pool. Bonnie got a chance card and obviously the “right” call for Bonnie being evil is to Blackmail, which causes a loss in performance. Then, have a fun picture of Remington being cute.

It was time for Miranda’s birthday, and so there is a party thrown for her. Miranda grows up into an elder and gets herself a bit of a makeover. I think the shorter hair looks very nice on her.

Rene is over for the party too and Bonnie spends some time with him. Rene should make for a good edition into this family.

The cake is cut and the young couple enjoy a slice before heading upstairs to have a little “fun” in the money piles in the vault. Sadly, Rene decided to leave before they got to having the actual fun.

We then get some fun news. Frank is expecting a child. He and his wife and going to bring new little Tripp’s into the world.

Miranda finally gets the chance to lay out on that beach towel that she had been wanting to lay out on. She lays out there for quite a while and Abby works on fishing today. We still have a lot of fish to catch.

Our dear Bonnie comes home with a new promotion and is now a Regional Manager in business. I guess trying to blackmail her old boss didn’t hurt her as much as it could have.

That evening we have a plethora of ghosts out to hunt for the night. Zygo, Lara, and Ferdinando (I think) are all out and Zygo is even cleaning. It’s just so nice of him!

I’m not sure this is the outfit I would be wearing to work out in, but to each their own I guess. Bonnie really has been trying to work out daily. She’s such a lovely sim to me.

Through everything Abby has managed to max out her fitness level. This gives Abby multiple maxed skills, such as gardening at this point. Abby has done well and I’m going to be sorry to see her go.

It’s now new years in the sims world and since none of the family has ever met Frank’s wife we head over to the house where they live to meet the family. Bonnie is the first one to meet her and talks for a bit.

The family sits and hangs out with each other and we learn that Frank actually has a step-son. So the family gets to know him as well. It’s a lovely time waiting for the new years “fun” to begin for the night and Selena is getting closer with the family now.

During the rest of the evening, while the new year’s TV was on in the background toasts were made a performance by Miranda occurred, and the family counted down to midnight where hugs were shared around by all.

The next day Bonnie decides to invite Rene over for a very important question. With Patchy watching on Bonnie decides it’s time to propose to Rene. Rene, thankfully, says yes and is very happy to be near this challenge.

Since it’s Bonnie’s last day off of work I want to get her married this weekend so a Sulani wedding arch is purchased, friends and family were invited over and the wedding took place on the beach.

Congratulations to the happy couple, and I am very proud of this picture. They are lovely together and I’m sure they will have adorable babies. Since we lifted the child restriction last generation I’m planning on them having at least two.

The “reception” after the ceremony went on until the evening and there was much fun and entertainment to be had for the whole family. Frank, Selena, and Malakai (the step-son) were all in attendance as well.

And so with the wrap of the party, we are going to wrap this update. This is Rene, after a bit of a make-over, although really his clothes just changed some. He is a Lazy, Cheerful, Bro who switches from Computer Whiz to be Nerd Brain, since we won’t get a computer until Bonnie finishes her business career. I decided to put Rene into the astronaut career, as we haven’t finished that yet. Thank you for joining us once again.
