Let's start the week off on a completely random note. This has always freaked me out. I mean look at her stomach, that can't be good for the baby. No offense to EAxis, but the meshing on this is just weird, definitely could have been done better.
Skylar, feed the darn bird! Much as I'd love to be rid of it, the family will just spin up the want for another one if we let it die.
"Grandpa?" 
"Wow! Did you see Cedar? I didn't trip!""You really are doing much better Chalce!"
Wow! It really does pay off to be mature!
"I'm home with a promotion!" 
"Yes, I'd like to stay home with my children now." 
"That one little game of darts pushed me into PLA!"Personally I think that PLA makes things a little too easy.
Welcome home Mr. No Expression, I see you had a good day at work!
"I did it! Two promotions in one day!" 
"Excuse me Ms. Mouse-Clicker Lady? Isn't someone supposed to teach me how to do this?" "Alright, but this is awfully hard stuff."
"Here I grow Grandpa! Watch!" 
Cedar, don't turn around, there's a reason your Grandfather isn't watching.
"Grandpa don't go!""Grandpa you can't go till I hug you, wait!"
"I'll miss you Daddy."
"Maxi's here, better make extra sure no one breaks any rules." 
Sorry your birthday wasn't the best ever Cedar. So what do you want out of life?"I want to have 6 Grandchildren, and be the best grandfather ever, just like Grandpa Skylar!"
So what kind of wife are you looking for then?
Day 72 - Tuesday (Winter)
1:12 a.m: "I know it's been a busy night, but it's time."
Welcome Chrysolite LaFeuille.
"Yay! Another daughter!"OMG!!! You just showed emotion! Are you feeling well? Should you go lay down?
"My daughter so rocks! An A+ without anyone having shown her how to do homework!"Yeah, now go help her with today's assignment.
The only time Gordon shows any emotion seems to be when it's about his daughters. He used to get excited about Cedar, but I haven't seen it in awhile.
Remember to thank your Aunt Beryl after for inviting her over for you.Personally I think his ideal date would be Professor Butters, but I don't things are Squeaky Clean enough around here for her.
Once more with the Tuesday Madness. I know exactly how you feel Rowan.
"Marina! You're late, what kept you?""One of my sons did something incredibly stupid and I had to deal with Raikov, and then I had to call in some help to deal with Carlos. There's a lot of trouble in Sierra Plains at the moment."
It's 2 a.m before Beryl manages to get that last cleaning skill, but luckily Gordon is now fully energized and can go meditate and take care of Chrysolite while she takes his spot in the bed.

"This place is always such a dump Wednesday morning!""You're such a sweetheart! I promise to keep the kids out of your hair when you get home so you can skill build, how's that sound?"
"Sounds like heaven!"
Err, guys? Hello? Chrysolite is screaming. Will someone please change her?
"I did it! I did it! Can I leave now?" 
You just lifted Military restrictions and yet you still have no facial expression? Your kids can go to college now you know. And visit community lots once they have enough body points. They can invite over anyone they like, and as long as you stay a General you've supressed Intelligence which means Sims can bring friends and people can have secondary aspirations. No telescope options still because of Music, and between you and Beryl you're two steps closer to vacations.
"So can I leave now?" "You're not the one stuck living with your two sisters, your brother-in-law, two neices, and a nephew."
No but I'm stuck living with my own kids and my husband, that count?
"Here you go Lydia, maybe you can find some use for these."
"What is it?"
"The original barbecue and a full wastebasket."
"Gee whiz, thanks!"
Goodbye Grey. I could have sworn that I installed the patch that stopped birds from dying while the game was paused. Oh well, if the family wants another one they've got more than enough money.
"The table is in the way again!"
Have you ever considered putting the book back in the bookcase?
I think I may have gone a little overboard with the lighting, but I figure no one who lives here has ever seen a light bulb before, they'd probably be very excited about it and overdo it themselves.
For all that Chalce is supposed to be the nicest sim ever, she hates Chrysolite and can barely stand her Aunt Beryl. Probably because Beryl doesn't bother hiding the fact that she can't wait to move out. The only solution to this is to force them to spend time together. Eventually they'll have to find something they have in common.
You're doing awful well in this job Bay, unless Architecture is on the computer Tuesday, I think you're staying here until you've lifted Gamer.

Every morning without fail there is exercising.
Bella, don't you think you should take care of Chrysolite and clean the house before you play video games? I mean, I know I have no room to talk, but I don't have a demi-deity ordering me around. At least, I don't think I do.
"Can I have one?"Not until Architecture is lifted and we have enough space for a landing pad.
"Honestly Bella, I love Chrysolite, I really do, but you have to learn to change your own daughter's diapers, I'll be gone soon you know.""But by the time you move out she'll be out of diapers."
"What about when you have grandbabies?"
"Their parents will change them?"
"Just like you change Chrysolite's diapers?"
"I really wanted to give the family more room."
I'm still thinking about it.
It figures that Cedar would be the one that helps Chrysolite with her birthday toss. Everyone else just ignored the fact that it was her birthday, including her parents.
"Welcome to our home Nemo." I've had people say that my sims where the most prosperous they'd ever seen. Well, Nemo has me beat about 200 fold.
"I thought they hated each other?" Have you ever seen anyone turn down a snowball fight? Aren't you happy about your second promotion of the day?
"Not especially, I feel like each promotion makes my chances of getting a job in Architecture that much slimmer."
Happy Birthday Chrysolite! Yay! Another Virgo! (9,4,6,3,5).
Hmm, I guess that means that the heirship is between you and Cedar, but we won't rule out Chalcedony just yet. Looks like we may have another heir vote in the near future, although I suppose it can wait until college. Or at least till you're a teen and we can get a better idea of facial features, although so far this family hasn't thrown a single average looking sim, let alone ugly.
"We don't worship the Potty God like some families, but it's still polite to be respectful of other people's religions, so make a nice pooty in the potty, 'k Chrysolite?"
"Yes! I get to wear the first thinking cap!"
Yeah yeah, now go skill.
Thinking caps aren't quite as fast as smart milk, but they get the job done!

Can't argue with you there.

Love the matching jammies ladies!
The natural world may have heard his call, but I'm doubting it'll ever hear from him again.
You know what this means don't you Cedar?"I'm buff?"
No, it means a trip to the one and only community lot left standing in Eden, Safety Zone. Time to buy electronics for the family! Yeah, I know they can't use the cellphones except on Tuesdays, but at least now I can tell which sim the phone is ringing for before answering it, and at the rate Bay is going the phone lines will be open soon anyway. As far as I can tell the gameboys are ok too, although I thought they'd be restricted under gamer.
Welcome to Safety Zone. It's another of the safe houses I built, converted to a community lot. While the staircases are much more sim friendly, in order to place them a lot of interior room was sacrificed, which is why the family didn't get this home. Except for level one each of the floors only has 40 squares, whereas the LaFeuille home has 56 squares per level.
First things first, electronics. 3 cellphones please, we'll need you and at least one other person to come at least once more to get the rest of them.
"Cool! A train set! Grandpa told me about these!"
Well, you can't have one at home until Architecture is lifted, they're just too darn big!
"Should I be worried about the zombies?" No, your father helped the military come up with a formula that makes them fairly harmless now. They're still a bit dimwitted still, but they won't try to attack you. Honestly I think the military exaggerated their hazard level quite a bit in the first place. Your family has been living in that house for three generations and a zombie's never even stolen your newspaper, much less attacked someone.
Time to go home Cedar, there are no teenage girls or simselves here, and you don't have any wants about any of the available entertainments.
I know it's not what you wanted Bay, but you're doing so well, and think of how much easier the job search will be for your neices and nephew.
"Yay! Sister play with me!"
Only because I made her. It's the truth too, Chrysolite is ready to be best friends with Chalce, but Chalce barely acknowledges that Chrys exists.
Cooks with less skill than you have cooked safely in this house, but you just had to go and start a fire didn't you?
Put it out and try not to catch fire while I try to keep the rest of the family upstairs.
"I think the cheesecake is still edible!"
*sweatdrop*
"You know Chrys, you should have been my daughter, not Bella's."

"You know Chrys, you should have been my daughter, not Bella's."Day 76 - Saturday (Winter)
Sometimes it's easy to think that Cedar is Chalce and Chrys' father. He's much more concerned about them than their parents are and spends much more time with them.
"Where Cedar? Want Cedar, not Mommy!"
"YOU!!! Your family has broken a ton of rules! I oughta run you out of town!""I'll let it go this time Mrs. LaFeuille, but I'm watching you!"
At that point Maxi decided that poker was more interesting than Bella and the charlatan showed up, so it was decided it was best to go home.
Pay attention Generation B, you'll notice that Cedar has no issue with the table because he has every intention of putting the book in the BOOKCASE. On a side note, I'm beginning to wonder about him and Chalce. They constantly spin up wants to eat grill cheese. If Intelligence is still suppressed when Chalce becomes a teenager I think I'll give her Grilled Cheese for a secondary aspiration.
Bay? You look.... happy?In that case, you'll be happy to hear that you only have two promotions left to go.
"Awesome!"
"I hope this doesn't start another fire, but I just have to have some Baked Alaska."Day 77 - Sunday (Winter)
It's a good thing that Cedar is studying for college, because this is the only time he spends with his father. Knowledge sims are good parents usually, put this pair is not the best. They just don't have that much of an interest in their own kids.
So which skill was that Gordon?"Cooking."
How many more skills left to max?
"Two."
Hmm, not much for talking today are we?
"No."
It was a very quiet Sunday with everyone skill building until it was time for Chalce's birthday. Chalce was an incredible child, she managed to earn 9 1/2 body points just jumping rope.
So? What's the damage?Wow, even your attractions suit your new Fortune aspiration. Did I mention that I'll now be choosing your secondary aspiration and that it'll be Grilled Cheese?
"But I'll get fat!"
No, you'll just have to work out a lot. It's your own fault for wanting to eat grilled cheese all the time as a child.
Looks like we have another ballerina in the family. Oddly enough her first teenage want wasn't to earn money or get a job, it was to get fit. I guess she's watched her mother and her aunt's weight yo-yo too much.
And that's your final body point! Still need to work on reaching maximum fitness though.
I have no idea whether reading to the rugrats actually increases their intelligence or not, but since Chrys didn't get any smart milk, it's worth a shot.
Yet another hobby plaque for our walls. I think yoga looks so much cooler in the ballet outfits!
I'm happy you're fit now, but what's with the face?
Say Goodbye Gordon."You can't quit now! It's Chrys' birthday tomorrow!"
"All right, 'Goodbye', now hurry up, upload the journal, and get back here so I can watch my daughter become a child."
Huh, you didn't even notice that Chalce became a teen because you were too busy playing chess.
"I was on my way upstairs to congratulate her when you stopped me and forced me to say goodbye, now go away so you can come back soon."ARGHHH!!!!
