Week 15

Day 99 - Monday (Winter): Chrysolite's Final Semester



"College is great Mom! Anytime I want to meet someone new I just call the campus directory!"


"Cassia, I know you're my cousin, but do you really need to call me three times a day."


"My love of snowball fights seems to be shared by many of the students I've met here and they're a great way to make friends."


"This guy Andrew is always showing up naked at my place, but he never stays long enough to chat. I guess he must get cold running around in the buff like that."


"As my college life draws to an end, I've developed a sudden urge to maximize my knowledge of all things. My last skill I need to work on is mechanics and I thought that rebuilding a car would be a great way to earn the skills I need."


"I graduated Summa Cum Laude! I'm so happy! I've decided to spend the rest of the day trying to earn my final mechanical skill before returning to Eden."


"Chalcey's fiancee Nathen even showed up to cheer my maximization of knowledge. I thought it was rather sweet of him."


"I have to admit that when I saw the clothes that I'd grown-up into I was happy that Chalcedony hadn't been able to find a job in Music. It's incredibly selfish of me that my clothing is more important to me than restoring natural weather to Eden, but ask yourself, would you be willing to walk around for the next 29 years in this outfit?"


Day 99 - Monday (Winter)



"Wow, I know I want to become a Business Tycoon, but there's some serious cash in Show Business."


"It looks like Wednesday morning in here, I'm shocked that Cedar left this mess, he's usually so neat."
He was tired last night and then this morning he had to rush off to work, otherwise he probably would have fixed the shower and cleaned up the mess.


Simselves vs. LaFeuilles, who will win the snowball fight?


Hoorah! Chalcedony has lifted Show Business!
Sims may use the mirrors to change their appearance, we can now buy wardrobes, Dates and Outings are restored and the sewing machine can be used.


"Ooh! I look pretty!"
I figured since Chalce lifted the restriction she should be the first to get to change her look. Thank goodness that other sims in the family have had some half decent clothing. Funny though, I thought the career outfits were supposed to be available as everyday wear.


"No more wreath! Thank Maxis that Grandpa Skylar had decent clothing."


Bella on the other hand has had pigtails for so long that I couldn't bare to change her hair so she just got a bit of makeup.


Day 100 - Tuesday (Winter)



Chrys' clothing was so horrible that she went straight for the dresser and mirror when she got home without even stopping to say hello. I think she likes her new look though.


"I hope you don't mind Mom, but I borrowed your old tank top and Grandma's old pants."
"Oh honey! You look absolutely fabulous! You keep those clothes, I'll never fit into them again anyway."


"It's all about Chrys isn't it? Mom never even said anything about me lifting Show Business and making this all possible or anything about my new look."
Don't worry dear, I just wanted you and Cedar to be here when Chrys got home, but now the two of you get to move into a very nice mansion where the rules are a bit less strict. You'll like that, right?
"You know, for awhile I was sure I'd be the heiress, everybody loved me, and then suddenly everything was about Chrys, but if not being the heiress means that I get more freedom to do as I please, then I guess it's all right."


So you're the one... Beware my wrath old man...


"I am so glad she picked me..."


I've seen worse outfits, but honestly, how many adults do you know who run around dressed like that?
Blair Turner: Family Sim
LTW: Have 6 Grandchildren
Zodiac: Cancer (6,3,6,4,6)


Originally I intended for Chrys' husband to lift Adventure, but Music is pretty important too, and it's available.


Having gotten a decent job, Blair gets to be the first sim in Eden to ask someone out on a date. Have fun guys!


"I know it's a forgone conclusion, but marry me Chrys?"


"I will, I do!"


"I'd love to! I've been waiting forever!"


Angelica! You finally decide to scare a sim and it's your pregnant granddaughter?


"Maybe if I walk away Chrys will repair it."
No way Bella! You broke it....
"...you repair it, sigh."


I hope you know what you're letting yourself in for Chrys.
"Lots of babies that I can be Best Friends Forever with!"


"So it looks like we'll get to have decent haircuts and get rid of this snow, isn't that great?"
"I guess it is dear, I just hope that it's the right decision."


Day 101 - Wednesday (Winter)



After having foolishly added on rooms and bought things that are too big to be moved I realized that I can't stand to have my family living in the boxy modern looking house that I had built them forever. So I reconstructed Shephall Manor by Browse007X, modifying it for a 5x5 lot and building it on a foundation. There are a couple of rooms still missing because of the driveways. We need a burglar to come steal the cars! Usually I just rebuild Soup 4 by Ms.Barrows, but I thought it might be time for a change of pace no matter how ideal Soup 4 is for my play style. Besides, Cedar got Soup 4.


Poor Chrys, pregnancy doesn't seem to agree with her, this is the second time this morning she's puked her guts out.


Good job Blair! As soon as that car leaves you can go to work again. It's probably too late in the day for another promotion, but it's worth a shot.


Sometimes I think that Chrys likes pink almost as much as Bella does. How do I keep ending up with all these barbie dolls?


I guess I underestimated you Blair. I just hope you don't get a chance card tomorrow. I never get the Music Camp one right.


Day 102 - Thursday (Winter)



Argh! I'm glad she got the job, but she doesn't start work until Monday.


There's only one solution to this problem, Bella! It's a good thing Angelica wasn't too greedy with the Elixer of Life. Bella is already 75 years old and approaching her death rapidly, but we need her free babysitting services since Chalcedony moved out with Cedar. Bella drank the remaining two doses of Elixer which moves her age back to 69 years old. That should be long enough.


Are you worried about you and Blair, or Cedar and Alicia?
"Cedar and Alicia. For all that Cedar is a Family sim, he doesn't seem to want to spend much time with Alicia."


Come on Bella, we've got to get that car fixed up. No self-respecting theif will steal it as it is.
"I can't believe I'm fixing a car just so a theif will steal it."
You guys haven't had a theif in awhile, you're due and I'd really like for the cars to be stolen. We can buy new ones and if I understand the restrictions properly, I can move the driveways, just not the cars.


How was work Blair?
"Great! I got another promotion, but coming home and having to look at Shelby was kind of a downer."
No worries big guy, I've got just the thing to cheer you up.


"You're right, this does make me feel better."
Great, this is good all around, I want the car finished so it can be stolen, you want to restore a car, and you need to build mechanical for your next promotion anyway.


Day 103 - Friday (Winter)



Bella! No!


Please let Chrys be fast enough.


"I saved Mom! I kept my cool and put the fire out!"


"I bet you're glad that Chrys was there!"
"It would have been fitting if I had died by fire like my poor Gordon, I deserve it."
"Mom, no! We need you here, and Dad wouldn't want that for you, I'm sure he knows that you wanted to help."
"As for you young lady, what were you thinking? Putting yourself and the babies at risk like that!"


"Mouse-Clicker Lady? It's time!"
Can't you wait two more minutes, Blair is just pulling in from work.
"NO I CAN'T WAIT TWO MORE MINUTES! THESE BABIES ARE COMING NOW!!!"


Thank goodness you're home, hurry, Chrys is having the babies!
"What am I supposed to do?"
Stand there and either look annoyed or worried. Just hurry up and do it.


Welcome Dill LaFeuille!


Welcome Diamond LaFeuille!


*Don't ever try something like that again Bella, the family needs you*
"I won't Gordon, I'm so happy that I'm alive to hold my grandchildren, they're so cuddly!"


"Mmm, Berry Pie! The perfect end to a dramatic day!"


Looks like Beryl was right, huh Bella!
"Oh hush you! I'm changing my grandchild's diaper, big deal."


*Peek-A-Boo! I see you Chrys!*
Leave the girl alone Skylar, go float a grave or something. Why aren't you red anyway?


Day 104 - Saturday (Winter)



"Why are there always these dogs hanging out at my house when I get home? Don't I have any hot fans?"
Maybe you're just too picky.


Day 105 - Sunday (Winter)



Didn't your doctor tell you you're supposed to take a break between pregnancies?
"I want to enjoy my children while I'm still young. Mom is so old that she won't see the children become teens most likely. I don't want that to happen to me."


"You are so sexy when you're in the kitchen babe!"


Now I see why Beryl did most of the child rearing for you Bella. How hard can it be when that's all you do. You don't cook, clean, repair or work. Your only job is to get the twins bottles and change their diapers.


Blair, I know that you have an interesting relationship with that pillar, but don't you think you should get your butt inside and skill if you expect to get a promotion in the morning? After this you don't work until Friday. That's a long time my man. Now say goodbye Blair.
"I'm too busy contemplating this pillar."
Fine, I'll do it. Bye Folks!
