Fall, Year 8: Vijayakar/Hanby
Lindsay checks in on the carpet shop and her new employee.  She needed more help and this teen townie most have been the best option at the time.
Tumblr media
Benjamin is bored.  Stuck in the apartment all day, I wonder if he misses his brief time living in the vampire apartments.  Even in his own apartment his job seemed to keep him busy and out of trouble during daylight hours.
Tumblr media
He needs to be kept out of trouble.  I don’t think the neighbors’ apartment smells bad enough that you need to risk your life to complain about it.
Tumblr media
Avril and Caryl still haven’t been able to keep the peace after their broken marriage and their son, Darryl is the one suffering because of it.
Tumblr media
Caryl decides, for her son’s sake, things can’t go on this way.
Tumblr media
She moves out and rents her own apartment for just the two of them.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, things are not going well for Avril.  She loses her job.
Tumblr media
She also starts to feel bad about how things were and she apologizes to Caryl for her terrible behavior.
Tumblr media
Hopefully they can work on being civil for Darryl’s sake.
Tumblr media
Later, Caryl makes peace by stopping by with a gift of a piano?  (I’m not sure what date or outing prompted this, but that must have been some apology.)
Tumblr media
Also Tiffany’s son, Adam, has his child birthday.

His name is Rinne Rabu  ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 
Just a quick screenshot of one of my simmies in my Royal Kingdom World. 
He is a royal servant and a robot.   🤖
(still not sure why screenshots from in game are so butt ugly quality lol. all my settings are as high as they can go  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  I’ve just gotta remember to press printscreen button rather than C. but old habits die hard!)

Summer, Year 8: Peasants pt. 1
I locked Solveig’s want to marry Raymond previously.  This season I sent them on another date to see if I can get him to take an interest, but so far, he hasn’t shown any signs of wanting to settle down again.
He wanted to go to a community lot, so they stop by the graveyard.  (So romantic!)  As usual, sims at the graveyard hang around outside the gates unless the need more room to tai chi.  I wanted to see if I could place anything from his inventory on Janice’s grave, but was unable to.  I have since found a mod that makes inventories accessible on community lots.  I will have to test it to make sure the items stay.  If it does, I will probably have a lot of graveyard visits next season.
Tumblr media
Since Raymond was one date away from having 5 first dates, I had him ask out Landlady Lisa.  We may regret this if she’s around while he’s trying to romance someone else, but for now it seems to be going well.
Raymond: How does that feel?  We could make this a regular thing if I didn’t have the stress of paying so much rent . . .
Tumblr media
Either the rest of the season in this complex was uneventful or I was rushing and not paying much attention or both, because all I have from this entire apartment complex is birthday pictures.  (There was more going on in my other peasant apartments, I promise.)
Monica makes it to adulthood and will be moving to the singles’ lot next round, unless she decides on a partner first.
Tumblr media
Her brother, Norman, is a teenager.
Tumblr media
Next door, Jack becomes an adult and will move to the singles’ lot next season.  With my Peasants I’m not as strict as I am with moving my Nobles to university.  I only move the Peasants at the end of the season instead of exactly when they hit eight days to adulthood (when I age them up).
Tumblr media
His youngest brother, Wade, is a child.
Tumblr media
In the third apartment in this group, Brandon becomes an elder.
Tumblr media
I recently downloaded the Shiftable Everything mod and this is the first time I used it.  This family really needed more beds, but had no place to put them until now.  I’m really happy with being able to make bunk beds.  I think I am going to be doing this a lot in my cramped houses!

Summer, Year 8: Meanwhile in a Neighboring Kingdom
Kamala Langerak gives birth to a new baby named, Nalini.
Tumblr media
The game is right when it says they grow up fast.
Tumblr media
Rama is still dating around and I’m trying to get him to settle on someone, like Princess Cecily. 
Tumblr media
After I wrote this post and started the next season, I realized Rama and Olivia had mutual marriage wants towards each other.
Tumblr media
I dropped by Rama’s lot briefly to have him propose, so that I could free up another space on the crystal ball.
Tumblr media
But the engagement didn’t even last long enough for me to leave the lot.  I’m guessing Rama is the one that called it off.
Tumblr media
In the summer, Rama’s little sister, Indira, had a first kiss.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile at the Mace household, Max Lewis and Evangeline King also have a first kiss.
Tumblr media
Rex and Amy’s youngest children, Meg and Ren, reach toddlerhood. (I forget which is which.)
Tumblr media
With Faith set to return home next season with her toddler and twin infants, there are going to be a lot of little ones to take care of in this household next season!
Tumblr media
Now that Rae is a teenager, I’m sure she will have to lend a hand to help out.
Tumblr media
At the tavern, brothers. Griffin and Clark, spend time with their dates.  Clark wants to marry Kristina and Eleanor wants to marry Griffin, but so far these wants are just one sided.
Tumblr media
I invite over a crowd of peasants to socialize.  Things go wrong when Marianne moves in on Meadow’s man.  Meadow is upset and goes after Vaughn, but Marianne is ready to get physical to fight for him.
Tumblr media
I know I went overboard on summoning in sims when the tavern is so crowded that no one can move or interact and the game lags to a halt.  (Oops.)
Tumblr media
Clark:  Hey, what about Eleanor?
Griffin: I’m exploring my options.
Tumblr media
Griffin: You shouldn’t be so quick to tie yourself down, brother.
Tumblr media
Clark:  No, thanks.  I know Kristina is the one for me.
And they ride off into the sunset.
Tumblr media
Baby sister, Phoebe, becomes a teenager
Tumblr media
and is already attracting the attention of boys.
(I really need to make a witches’ school or send all of my witches out on an outing or something.)
Tumblr media
Corbin helps out his mother at the potion shoppe.
Tumblr media
I shouldn’t have sent the employees home, since they can use more help, especially as Celeste makes more potions to stock on the shelves.
Tumblr media
Back at home, Cassidy tries to cheat on her boyfriend, Jay, with her mother’s boyfriend, Drake.  Drake turns her down, but Jay is still furious with her for trying to sleep with someone else.
Tumblr media
Drake: Celeste, I do think you’re attractive, but I’m with your mother, so I think we should just be friends.
She’s smiling, but I don’t think she heard him.
Tumblr media
Baby Casey grows up
Tumblr media
and so does big sister Cordelia.
Tumblr media
Who immediately tries to put the moves on Drake.  He has three generations of women in this family lusting after him.  Luckily, he has the good sense to turn down his girlfriend’s daughter and granddaughter.
Tumblr media
Let’s try to find you someone more appropriate, Cordelia.
Tumblr media
I forgot to take a picture, but Corbin started university from home this season.  I will move him into the dorms at the beginning of the next season.  He’s missing out on the social life, so I invite over Mia Lewis, who has a crush on, but she’s already engaged to someone else and turns down his advances.  Oops.
Tumblr media
At the King household, Evangeline helps her little brother, Edgar, with his homework while their parents are at work.  His aspiration is low and he’s failing out of elementary school.
Tumblr media
In the evening, she gets invited on an outing with a bunch of elderly folks and takes up gambling.   Maybe it’s a form of community service, playing poker with the elderly.

Summer, Year 8: Singles
I have a lot of sims living on the singles lot now (and I try to invite over other single lower class sims who still live on their home lots.)  Sims that joined the household this round are Bennett, Isaac, Austin, Amanda Collin, and Kristina Guevara.  Since there are so many sims living in this household I had to take advantage of the ability to create bunk beds again.
I did originally want this household to be about more than finding spouses.  I also wanted my sims to be able to find nontraditional career paths, but I haven’t figured out how I want to do that yet.
Tumblr media
Austin had a teenage romance with Claire, the papergirl, so I decided to age her up.  She looks very sophisticated and business-like.  I didn’t move her in, so she now delivers the paper dressed like this and I’m not used to it yet.
Tumblr media
They have been dating, but I haven’t gotten them interested in making a commitment yet.
Tumblr media
Speaking of not making a commitment.  I knew I would have to be careful with Jonas, since one of his lovers, Amanda, is living here now. But I forgot that Andrea was in love with him when I invited her to visit.  I guess that would be past tense was in love with him.
Tumblr media
Isaac and Kay Laughlin have a first kiss.
Tumblr media
Love is all around as Kristina smooches Clark Zaidi and a visiting Margo and Linus Farmer fall in love.
Tumblr media
Sorry, Ross.  It looks like Margo only has eyes for Linus now.
Tumblr media
Ross has his sights set higher.  He asks Princess Lila on a date.  Of course, nothing should come of it, but I was hoping it would trigger Lila to have an engagement want toward Deven. No marriage type wants for either of these sims yet.  They’re both just having a good time.
Tumblr media
Jonas had better be careful.  He’s surrounded by his love interests.
Tumblr media
To keep the peace I have to send him out on the town for his dates.
Tumblr media
Jonas freestyling for tips is always hilarious and awesome.
I’m not sure is Ava is pretending that she’s not with him or she’s feeling awkward about the teenager standing too closely behind her.
Tumblr media
With so many sims dating on this lot, I have been getting a ton of invitations to go out to community lots.  Sometimes a new invitation comes in while I’m still waiting on the taxi for the first date or outing.  I have to turn some of them down since I don’t know what will happen if I accept multiple invitations at once.
Tumblr media
This household also gets a lot of date gifts.
Tumblr media
I put the gift items in the inventories of the person that the gift is meant for, but I have a large collection of date flowers that collected before I started doing that.
Tumblr media
Clark: Oh, I see, you already had a telescope.  Now you have a matching pair.
Tumblr media
Then there are others who seem hopeless at dating, like Barry, who spends more time with his sister than anyone.  I have a feeling it will only be worse when she actually moves in.
Tumblr media
Bennett finds himself falling for Princess Willa, who is way out of his class.
With that wavy hair, he is really dashing though.
Tumblr media
When they roll mutual engagement wants, how can I say no?
I was thinking I need a test to see if couples would be accepted by their families, like a headmaster visit, but the game went ahead and provided that for me
Tumblr media
when Willa’s family invited Bennett on a timed outing to check out this new guy she is supposedly in love with.
Tumblr media
I sent them to Fancey’s restaurant, because of tradition, but I realize that is a poor choice, because they barely get a chance to interact or finish their meals before time runs out.  (Also, the restaurant is short staffed and I really need Chloe to hire a couple more employees.)
So we have Willa’s Aunt Delilah from her mother’s side, Uncle Garen from her father’s side, and Cousin Sheridan.  Where are her parents?
Tumblr media
Hey folks, we’re on a time crunch here.  Your detour to the photobooth is not helping.
Tumblr media
Willa:  So, you see, we are both adults and capable of making our own decisions . . .
*Aunt Dahlia side-eyeing Bennett’s table manners.*
Tumblr media
The outing was mediocre and it really wasn’t fair to make them eat first.  (Maybe I should design a community lot specifically for these types of outings.
I decide to have Bennett chat with Willa’s parents to see if he can win them over.
Tumblr media
And he’s 0/2.  It’s not looking good for his future with Willa.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, back at home, Milo asks Princess Sheridan on a date.  I was secretly hoping this would nudge her toward Brett, but no, she and Milo roll mutual engagement wants toward each other!
Tumblr media
I don’t want to have too many marriages/engagements so far across classes, but when they are so cute together, what can I do?  Sheridan and Willa are in different circumstances though.  Willa is young and freshly out of university.  Sheridan has been raising children (the oldest are nearly grown themselves) in the household she was set to inherit.  Would they be willing to give up their birthrights for the men they love?  I’m not sure yet myself what makes the most sense.  Stay tuned.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 9
James has the unusual want to counterfeit money, so I oblige. 
Tumblr media
His aspiration was pretty low, so I was expecting it to go wrong at any moment, but he kept at it for hours before the machine caught fire.
Tumblr media
James and Rebecca were invited on an outing.
Tumblr media
Everyone seems to enjoy the beach.  I don’t think I have ever seen so many sims go swimming at once.
Tumblr media
They enjoy a snack.  I really need to go in and revamp this lot and add a boat that is actually on the ground, as I meant it to be.
Tumblr media
I think with a few changes I could make this lot into a neat campground.
Tumblr media
At the poorhouse, Damian proposes to Hazel autonomously, while I’m playing the neighbors, but it doesn’t last until I get to their household.
Tumblr media
Their sons both age up this season.  Dominic is a child
Tumblr media
and Harold is a toddler.
Tumblr media
Hazel gets struck by lightening.
Tumblr media
She’s such a trooper that she doesn’t let that stop her from heading to work and getting a promotion.
Tumblr media
The family has some very important visitors.  I guess Princess Lila and Olivia are seeing how the other half lives.
Tumblr media
All Julianna wants is to go on outings and dates and visit community lots.  I didn’t want to have to set up a social group to have her go on an outing, so I had her invite Vernon over, so she could ask him to go downtown.  I thought they could hold off on the romance until they were off the lot, but they did not.  Sebastian was not pleased to see her getting close with another man.  Susannah was brought along as an innocent bystander.
Tumblr media
They head out to the beach for their outing and it’s no surprise when the outing turns into a date.
Tumblr media
Julianna waits until Sebastian leaves for his night job to ask Rama on a date.
Tumblr media
He leaves her multiple presents afterward.  The plant makes sense
Tumblr media
but the condiments are a little weird.  I feel like Julianna is going out with people for the gifts that she sells for money.
Tumblr media
Julianna got invited on an outing, but didn’t have a babysitter and by the time I called one, she missed the group.  She still wanted to go to a community lot, so she ended up spending an evening at the beach with her daughter instead.
Tumblr media
Julianna isn’t the only unfaithful one in this relationship.  Sebastian sleeps with Amanda Collin, gets rejected for a date, becomes best friends with her, and then she decides she will give him a chance.  I think Amanda is more hung up on Jonas, but Jonas has a lot of other options, so I don’t think she should put too much hope on him.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 8
Bennett makes a visit back home on his daily jog and catches up with his little sisters.
Tumblr media
Braxton hasn’t had the closest relationship with his eldest children since he left their mother for Rosemarie, but he lets Evelyn know how proud he is of her and how happy he is for her marriage.
Tumblr media
I think Evelyn’s extended family is also excited to learn that she is expecting another baby.
Tumblr media
I was just thinking that Braxton and Rosemarie were another couple with a cute, harmonious family, but it turns out their youngest, twins Orlando and Rosanna, really hate each other.
Tumblr media
They are constantly at each other’s throats, much to the distress of their other family members.
Tumblr media
I decide to intervene and send them fishing together.  Hopefully it will help them get along and if not, at least they will be something constructive instead of fighting.
Tumblr media
With way less drama, middle child, Marianne, becomes a teenager.
Tumblr media
I move over to eldest daughter, Marjorie’s, new home to see how she and Ward are doing.  Their apartment is very sparse and they mostly live in the common areas on the lot.
Tumblr media
Their apartment is about to get fuller as Marjorie goes into labor and delivers twins.
Tumblr media
She has a baby boy named Jordan
Tumblr media
and a baby girl named Martha.
Tumblr media
One room of the house gets filled with baby furniture.
Tumblr media
Marjorie and Ward are both very attentive parents.  I put Ward on diaper duty and have him fulfill his play with and snuggle wants for both of the babies at the same time.
Tumblr media
Ward and Marjorie both have to work the next day, so they recruit neighbor Johnson to babysit.  Nicole volunteers her time without being asked.
Tumblr media
When Marjorie comes home, she gifts Johnson a basket of berries to repay him for his time.  (I wasn’t sure if he would accept, but I liked the idea of trying to pay him.)
Tumblr media
I think she should have paid Nicole as well for as much as she helped out.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the rest of the neighbors take over the main room of the apartment with a kicky bag game and help themselves to Marjorie and Ward’s berry snacks.
Tumblr media
Ward brings a friend home from work.
Tumblr media
She becomes obsessed with catching all the fireflies and leaves bug jars on every available surface.
Tumblr media
Marjorie gets a call from one of her younger siblings and realizes they are all growing up so fast.
Tumblr media
She invites her family over to meet the twins.
Tumblr media
And while I’m at it, I have Ward invite his family too.
Tumblr media
Marjorie is pregnant again and has a close call, but the pregnancy holds.  Taking care of the twins doesn’t leave her a lot of time to take care of her own needs.
Tumblr media
The family visits just in time for the twins’ birthday.  Here is toddler Martha
Tumblr media
and toddler Jordan.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 7
Brooke and Hugo’s family is so cute.  I like families where there are a bunch of siblings of the same gender.
Tumblr media
And when they all get along so well.
Tumblr media
Margo meets Matthew and they seem like they hit it off at first.
Tumblr media
When their conversation starts to go sour, Vaughn and Ashlyn step in before things get worse.
Tumblr media
Second daughter, Meadow, becomes a teenager.  Ash and Evelyn take a break from their flirting to watch.  (When she grew up, Meadow immediately passed gas right toward Evelyn, which Ash found funny . . .)
Tumblr media
The teenage sisters are as close as ever.
Tumblr media
Meadow wastes no time having her first kiss with Vaughn and I really have to watch these two to make sure they don’t get into trouble.
Tumblr media
Baby of the family, Marlowe, reaches childhood.
Tumblr media
And big brother, Milo, stops by for a visit.  (As much as I was enjoying all the girls together, I was also missing Milo as a part of the family.)
Tumblr media
Milo is home just in time for his mother’s elder birthday.  Brooke is just as pretty as an elder as she was as an adult.
Tumblr media
The family needs to restock their food supplies, even if that means fishing on a rainy night.
Tumblr media
I think there was some context to this picture that I am forgetting now, but it’s a cute picture of Hugo with three of his daughters.
Tumblr media
Before the season is over, Margo reaches adulthood.  Next season she will be off to the singles lot with Milo.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 6
Isaac has moved on to the singles’ lot with older brother Jonas, now it’s just Henry and baby Georgina left at home.
Tumblr media
Georgina will always be the baby of the family, but she’s growing up too, into a cute little girl.
Tumblr media
Marisa had bought some toy chests from the hobby lot and Georgina busies herself by getting out all the toys.  (I don’t think I’ve seen a sim get so many toys out at once.)
Tumblr media
She does autonomously pick them all up when she’s finished.
Tumblr media
Don’t mind the fire in the background of these pictures.  The stove caught on fire and the firefighter put it out, but the flames never went away.  Ezra has to reach into the flames to retrieve his burnt food.
Tumblr media
Henry sadly loses his oceanography job.
Tumblr media
It’s time for him to move on to adulthood anyway.
Tumblr media
It’s time to look at Henry’s romantic prospects.  The crystal ball brings up Kay, Alison, and Monica.
Tumblr media
Monica seems to be his clear favorite so far.
Tumblr media
Marisa had the want to learn how to make sandwiches.  She wasn’t hungry, but I had her make some for the family.  She wasn’t satisfied until she tried them herself.
Marisa: This sandwich is amazing.  I should totally become a chef.
Tumblr media
Marisa’s amazing life changing sandwiches end up getting eaten by the dog.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 5
Vivian and Alon decide to cuddle in the middle of the busy common area and discuss grills?
Tumblr media
The couples living in this complex are super romantic.  When I play the neighbors, Evelyn and Ash are constantly hugging, dancing, and flirting.
Tumblr media
Ash and Vaughn both get jobs this season, but do not approve of each other’s career choices.
Vaughn: You think you have the charisma to be a standup comedian?  You are going to bomb so bad!
Alon: At least my goals are realistic.  I didn’t join the military thinking I was going to go the moon one day.
Tumblr media
With that exchange and helpful pep talk from Vaughn, Alon heads off to his first day of work.  He must have done better than Vaughn suggested, because he came home with a promotion.
Tumblr media
Evelyn gives birth to the couple’s second child.  It’s a boy named Vance.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, their elder child, Ashlyn, grows into a teenager.
Tumblr media
She’s a very pretty girl, but her love life is not off to a good start.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least she has a good relationship with her family.  Alon is her step-grandfather, but he rolls a lot of wants to interact with her and she is like a daughter to him.
Tumblr media
Ashlyn and her Uncle Vaughn are good friends and act like siblings, teasing included.
Tumblr media
Vance grows into a toddler.
Tumblr media
His parents and grandmother are determined to give him a good start in life.  Ash is a bit more practical and hands off as a parent.
Tumblr media
After all, he needs to make sure he has time for his newest hobby, cat tai chi.
The cats are completely fascinated, trying to figure out what the human is doing.

Summer, Year 8: Peasants, pt. 4
Christa and Elias are struggling financially and do not have the money to pay their rent.
Tumblr media
They seem to be in sync when taking care of the twins though.
Tumblr media
Working together, the pair make sure the little ones are taken care of.
Tumblr media
The older children do their parts to help out.  Chas entertains his younger sister.
Tumblr media
Elissa is very interested in fishing.
Tumblr media
Elissa’s birthday is coming up.
Tumblr media
The kids want a new pet for her birthday, but the family can barely afford the one they have.
Tumblr media
Elissa grows into a teenager without the new pet as a birthday present.
Tumblr media
Elissa is the most useful person in this family.  Not only does she spend most of her free time fishing, as soon as she grows up she decides to start a garden.  That along with her success as a dog trainer has me thinking she is the most industrious child in the kingdom.
Tumblr media
I decide it’s time for the parents to step up and start supporting the family.  Christa finds a job in the medical field.  (She starts at the bottom, unlike Abraham.)
Tumblr media
I set Elias to fishing and he makes an impressive catch.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, it’s not enough to make the rent.
Tumblr media
Elias is crushed that he’s not keeping up with the family’s finances.  Once Christa returns home from work, they just have enough money to pay the rent the next day.
Tumblr media
They are going to need the money since Christa is pregnant again. 
She had a close call.  Since her needs went into the red, I think it was supposed to be a miscarriage, but she jumped out of the action and is still pregnant.
Tumblr media
With Christa pregnant and working a new job, Elias takes on most of the childcare.  He’s in charge of diaper changes and playing with the twins.  They roll a lot of wants to play with their dad, but not many about their mom.
Tumblr media
And at the end of the round Elliot and Kirsten make it to childhood!

At Clare and Brenna’s, I was about to give up and push some engagements without the wants, but everyone decided to cooperate at the last minute.
Brenna and Corbin get engaged.  They didn’t get married yet, but they probably will next season if the engagement holds.  Brenna has the marriage want, but Corbin does not.
Tumblr media
Clare and Ash get engaged too.
Tumblr media
Since Clare is getting on in years, they waste no time and immediately tie the knot.
Tumblr media
Ash’s true intentions soon reveal themselves and I’m wondering if I should regret marrying him in.
Tumblr media
But Ash isn’t getting any younger himself.  He becomes an elder not long after marrying Clare.
Tumblr media
Brenna’s daughter, Baylee, celebrates her child birthday.
Tumblr media
Just a typical day with kids and dogs playing in the backyard garden.

Roxanne drops by to visit her brother Walter and ends up sharing lunch with his young niece and nephew.
Tumblr media
Jayne is still dating around and looking for the one.   So far, she hasn’t favored anyone in particular.
Tumblr media
This family has so many dogs.  Johnny especially enjoys spending time with them.
Tumblr media
Waylon grows up
Tumblr media
and spends time hanging out with his father by the karaoke machine.
Tumblr media
Rayna becomes a teenager
Tumblr media
and Wesley is a toddler.  Walter looks so proud.
Tumblr media
There is trouble at the neighbors as Madeline and Jess’s marriage is in trouble.
Tumblr media
Not this problem again.  Who does she think she’s married to?
Tumblr media
ACR says “the one” is Ash, but he was on the lot and there was nothing unusual in their relationship panel.  Then it changed to Roscoe.  At least all the flag,s married, engaged, and in love were toward him, so I could remove them all at once.  Everything was fine for Madeline and Jess after that.
Tumblr media
I’m trying to get Ava to settle down either with a husband or a baby, but she’s happily single and childless and playing the field.  She goes on dates with Clarence (who I just realized is with Talia and is not one of his single brothers.  Oops.)
Tumblr media
and Jonas.
Tumblr media
On her date with Jonas, she’s more interested in seeing what’s up with her cousin, Daniel.  He showed up at the tavern as a pregnant vampire, so I can see why she’d make her priority catching up with him.
Tumblr media
She has a lot of chemistry with Vernon who is too upper class for her, but I would like him to develop and interest in someone besides Lorraine who does not seem interested in committing.
Tumblr media
He’s clearly not going to fit in with the peasant crowd though.

Summer, Year 8: Marlene and Roscoe
I’m struggling to decide which businesses my young merchants should start.  For Marlene, I was looking through her skills, hobbies, and especially interests for inspiration.  I was thinking I could use a salon, since the makeover station at the tavern has barely been used this generation.  When she first visited her new business lot, her Aunt Alice was one of the first visitors to arrive.  I decided to see what they would chat about and makeup was the first topic of conversation.  Alice did change the topic to skiing immediately afterward.  (Maybe she thinks a makeover business would be a slippery slope?)  But I take that as a confirmation that a beauty shoppe, it should be.
Tumblr media
Of course, Marlene does not have the funds for a makeover station yet, so she starts off by selling a few cheap mirrors.
Tumblr media
She sells out right away.  (I think her customers were the right audience for this . . .)
Tumblr media
Back at home, the dogs are making mischief.
Tumblr media
Duchess has a love/hate relationship with this stool.
Tumblr media
Marlene goes into labor with her second child.
Tumblr media
It’s a baby boy!  His name is Roland.
Tumblr media
Her firstborn, Maureen, has her child birthday.
Tumblr media
Maureen is struggling.  Sending her to a community lot while she was pregnant was not a good idea.  She needed the rest of the round to recover from that trip.  Though, as a pleasure sim, visiting a community lot did help her mood, a little bit, but unfortunately, not enough.

Summer, Year 8: Hanby
When I was playing another household, Tiffany and Avril autonomously got engaged.  I was sure I took a picture, but if I did, I can’t find it.
Caryl has become the third wheel in the household, so I have her look for a new love with a townie named Brittany.
Tumblr media
Their date is going really well, until Avril decides she’s going to be jealous and butt in.
Tumblr media
She is obviously having mixed feelings about her ex moving on.
Tumblr media
Brittany checks in on Caryl and makes sure she’s not intruding.
Brittany: So, is everything alright?  Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.
Caryl: Don’t mind, Avril.  You are the one I want to kiss.
Tumblr media
Avril still hasn’t gotten past her feelings as Caryl and Brittany become closer.  Avril was the one who cheated on Caryl and moved on first, I don’t think she has grounds to object to Caryl moving on with her life too.
Tumblr media
Jordan and Patrick spend the day running their business, but first make a beeline for the photobooth.  Priorities.
