MOAR points…

Hello again!

When we last left our heroes, they were dancing around outside their house.

Wait, what? No, no, no. This picture is showing that Alexa is finishing Zoe’s portrait (I swear, it’s done already)…and then Zoe and Buck decided to autonomously dance.  It was cute, so I took a picture. Anyway…back to the grindstone guys!

And then, of course, this happens. Someone died while Buck was playing for tips, which of course meant that he stopped playing. Seriously, Buck – we don’t let a little thing like a death get in the way!

Unless of course, you’re this cop guy and FAINT in the presence of death. Buck kind of looked on with interest. I guess he’s trying to gain tips for when his time comes?

What he doesn’t need tips on is getting to the top of the Rock career , hitting 100,000 LTH points and achieving his LTW - three points for you! So far, I think Buck is the points leader, with his portrait painted first as well. Yaaay Buck!

Aurora is still working on her guitar. I’ve been having Alexa mostly down there working for tips, but I should just send the three of them (Alexa, Buck and Aurora) down to play for tips at different places downtown, so we can be working on those skills challenge points towards the 25K. But she’s at level 7 of guitar, and she hasn’t even hit adult yet. Awesome.

I sent Arianna down to the library to write, since she was getting stir crazy from sitting inside the whole day. I don’t blame her! She’s getting two or three hundred a week in royalties so far, and I’m having her write fantasy. I think she’s on level 8 now – mystery just opened up, but we’re sticking to fantasy, since those seem to be good for her in terms of money. We did a couple of sci fi ones first, since those are quick and get the money moving in. I am excited for romance to open up. It’s sort of fun to watch. Also, a great thing about her being a computer whiz? If she gets stressed out, just set her playing games for a while, and she gets back up to full green really easily and she can write for longer.

That evening, Zoe got her promotion at work. I was expecting it, but it was great – she was so excited, aside from being stressed out since I had hit “work hard” to make sure she’d get it, since she wouldn’t work after tonight for another 4 days. So for the LTW, and the career and 100,000 LTH! It made me really happy too – she also got the great fridge, which I immediately put in the new house. I am so excited for it! Now, her main goals for the time being are to learn the rest of the meals and to get cooking on those cooking challenges – we’ll see how we do on this one!

Later that evening, Aurora had her birthday – she got the ambitious trait, which works well, since she is the only one of the girls who has a career-related LTW! She rolled a want almost immediately to join the music career, but hasn’t had her first day yet. I am hoping with her excellent guitar skills that she will pick up the promotions fast!

(Sorry that her eyes are closed in this picture – I didn’t realize until I posted it) She is a very sweet sim, and I am glad that she’ll be around for a while (hopefully, unless Gen 2 has a bundle of boys, and Gen 1 sticks around forever).

I’ll end this update with a look at the new house. With Zoe’s promotion and the new fridge, plus Aurora reaching adulthood, I moved them into the new house, and finished furnishing it with the money from demolishing the first house. Bye bye good first house! Anyway, there’ll be more of the new house in the next update, but I had a lot of fun with this, and everyone gets great moodlets from that fridge. Although, all the expensive bathroom stuff keeps breaking. Blech. We were having a party at this point, hence the buffet table in the front of the house. It was epic, as you will find out! There are a couple more rooms to the left of the picture as well – mostly empty for right now though.

Join us next time as Alexa’s husband search begins in earnest!

Total Points: 10! (one for Zoe’s portrait, one for Bucks LTW, one for 100,000 LTH, and one for topping the career, one for Zoe’s LTW, 100,000 LTH and topping her career)
