4.6: Children chaos

Hey there! And welcome to more Name game adventures!

Last time in this story we finally made it to Xzavi’s graduation and had him started on his career as an actor! We also took care of our big group of kids, and finally welcomed the last child of this generation to the family: cute little Ingulf.

Today, we will keep working on all of our goals as the kids keep growing up, and also give my first try to a lot of the new things that came with the Growing together pack! As a family sim player, I’m seriously enjoying the heck out of GrT, so I hope you guys have fun with us too!

Let’s not wait any longer, and see what the family is doing now!

We start the day with Agatha and Xzavi having a cute little moment together ❤

Ah, so the family dynamics start lol This has already become an everyday thing in all of my games, I really like them. For some reason Ellen decided to get the Stric one with Vaughn tho, she was literally asking him if he wanted a bath lol!

See? Vaughn is honestly an angel, so no need to go stric on him lol. I do always say yes to these things tho, so let’s see how it works out for them.

Ingulf gets a little bit of attention from daddy. I’m so excited to see him as an infant ❤

Aaaand Aggy revealed her first toddler quirk, and of course the angelic-looking toddler turns out to be Aggressive! lol.

She actually kicked Vaughn while they were playing and made him cry </3 my poor baby!

This is the child you should have an Strict dynamic with, Ellen!

I do love both of them, but Aggy, don’t make your brother cry!

Xzavi keeps working on his videos to earn more fame. I’ve read that the streaming sphere is a very good way to get fame up, so maybe I should try that more often lol I always forget about that object unless he gets an opportunity using it.

Anyways, the older girls were back home, and Feng brought home this angry girl (who wears the exact same shirt as her btw lol), and looking through her info I realized that she’s perfect age to maybe date Zu when they grow up~ so we’re gonna work on that once Feng finishes befriending her for aspiration purposes!

For now, Zu hangs out with Francis who was also invited over. Francis is a cutie, I’m really happy Feng met him last time.

And then I got distracted by this pop up! Looks like Ellen finally brought home the last promotion she needed for her aspiration!

That’s the first +5 for the chapter!

I love Cheerful sims ❤ look at how happy Ellen looks that she completed her aspiration. This is level 8 of her career, so still a couple more promotions before she’s done with that too. I’m not 100% sure what aspiration I gave her next, but I believe it was a family one since she has been such a family sim so far… that or I gave her Bodybuilder because of her Active trait lol past Salem didn’t take enough notes as usual.

shirt-twins playing some chess~ and Zu couldn’t wait to get to know Noel lol btw, the girl’s name is Noel, I think I forgot to say that before lol.

Aggy seriously looks so cute and angelic lol I love it. Deceptively cute!

Aaaand Feng finally makes her third child friend and completes her second aspiration! It’s not the easiest one to get, so I’m very proud because she still has around four days for her birthday, she may be able to complete another one.

At first I was gonna give her one of the new Growing together ones, but since I’m not sure if she could get it done, I went against it. We have 4 other kids in this generation, so maybe each one of them can complete a diferent multiskill one?

Anyways, +2!

I probably should have something smart to say about this shot of Xzavi cooking (it is weird to see him cook since Ellen is the chef of the family lol) but… my brain is empty lol. It is a good shot of his tattoo at least. I wanna get better at remembering to give my sims tattoos lol I love them.

Vaugh was the only one awake during the night, so toddler cute spamming ❤ looks like not even Jellybean can resist our little guy. Not bad considering Jellybean was a troublemaker lol.

See? leave her alone for a moment and she’s attacking even the ghost of his owner lol! Sorry Javon!

Very late that night, we got Ingulf’s birthday notification! Can’t wait to see out first infant for this family!

And then we got the notification that Jaleesa and Oz had their newest baby! Welcome little Erin!

And Ingulf sprouts into the infant cloud~ I really love this grow up animation, it’s so cute ❤

Also, he has blue hair! I have to give the biggest thanks to Blams over at Boolprop for her amazing Inheritable unnatural hair colors for infants! This really made my life so much easier!

Anyways, here we have our little boy along with her very interested parents lol I’m sorry, but it just looks so funny having the baby on the floor and just talking to him from the sofa, not even mentioning the other parent talking to his reflection on the back lol!

Ingulf got the Wiggly infant trait. Which honestly so far has been one of the most common for me, but also totally a favorite since it helps them unlock the fine motor milestones easier.

That’s better ❤ Ingulf grew up pretty tired, so mom Ellen helps him get a nap. My god infants are adorable!

Since infants coming into the game mean that I need to add stuff to my houses, again lol but I don’t feel like renovating this house and I was thinking about moving for next generation anyways, I just temporally added a crib and changing table to the main bedroom and Iggy can sleep here for now.

Mmmm… I probably would’ve cleaned the grill before starting a dish on it. But hey, I guess Ellen is the expert here? lol.

That really looks disgusting tho.

a lot of the house was disgusting actually, so we hired a one-time maid to help us out. Usually is enough having the kids help cleaning around, but we currently have two toddlers and an infant, so I’m not gonna beat myself about it lol.

Speaking about having two toddlers and an infant, looks like that’s not gonna be for so long now! Aggy is about to celebrate her birthday~ Ans I’m happy that she’s gonna stop being Aggressive lol.

Ellen is inmediatly on cake duty for her girl~ and also because I got a mod that make it so all cakes give baking skill and that is great for her lol.

Zu and Feng came back from school and decided to kick around the soccer ball at the front door ❤ they are so adorable.

Also, there we have the first visit I’ve had of the NAPs inspector! NAPs are fun, if a little annoying sometimes lol.

Look at my handsome heir carrying his handsome little boy ❤ I just don’t get tired of taking pictures of infants.

And with the cake ready, outside it was time for Aggy’s birthday! Congrats Aggy! +5 for another top-notch toddler!

And also the maid hasn’t made it to cleaning the counters lol that’s how dirty the house was (and also sims 4 maids aren’t the most efficient individuals honestly lol).

Anyways, here we have little Agatha all grow up! She still looks so cute and angelic, I couldn’t resist dressing her in white lol Let’s see if she keeps being deceptively cute now.

Aggy grew up with Xzavi’s Creative trait, and since I rolled her aspirations before the Growing together update, she has the Whiz kid aspiration, just like her two older sisters.

Ellen and Ingulf work on getting some milestones. I gave Iggy a minor makeover, but honestly infants spend 80% of the time on pyjamas, just like toddlers lol so I don’t think it will matter too much.

Ismael came to give us a random gift! I think it was just faux meat, that seems to be the to-go gift sims choose for some reason lol but it was cute that it was him ❤ I’m being careful to keep up his friendship with Xzavi, I like them.

Angain, Zu and Feng prove how close they are by choosing to do their homework together on the backyard. They are both so sweet ❤

Speaking of sweet, Ellen helps Vaughn with some Movement skill~ this is another one of those interactions I never get tired of ❤ Toddlers are just too cute.

Emm… Ismael, we love you, buy I don’t think hanging around our child-staged children on only a towel is the best idea you could have… So I had to have Xzavi ask him to go home and change after he finished story time lol.

Hahahaha Ingulf has one of the funniest quirks lol! I don’t think Xzavi finds it very funny tho lol you go Ingulf!

With the book-reading part of the aspiration dealt with, Aggy plays some chess games with her sisters to get the checked off too~

And meamwhile, Xzavi ends up having to give Iggy his first bath since changing his diaper wasn’t enough to get him clean. I can’t complain about the cute picture tho ❤

Remember how I said that Nitza never called to let us now if she’d had her baby? Well, instead of that, we go the notification that she and Laurel decided to adopt a teenager that night. I think it’s cute they ended up doing that, and specially cute that Adonis is gonna be the only boy in that household lol.

Hahahahaha I love milestones, they always make me laugh! lol! This is a good one!

Salem came to haunt that night annd became very acquaintanced with the random clay that somebody left on that table outside lol Sims really get obsessed with that thing.

See? still carrying it after Ellen finished dinner and sat to talk to her and Knox lol.

Apparently I gave Feng the Artistic Prodigy aspiration next, and she’s working on it with some cute pictures. This is the easiest one to get done, so I’m pretyy confident she can get it before her birthday.

Zu takes care of her little brother while doing her homework ❤ it’s extra cute when you remember that he’s our Clingy baby.

Xzavi had another gig that morning, and it was a pretty epic with a castle and sword fights and everything lol I really enjoyed it. It’s a shame his character dies in the end (?

He enjoyed his work so much that he became Self-assured, which of course I said yes to, it’s a very useful trait to have for an actor.

Also he was nominated to an award! I’m 99% sure that I forgot about that as usual lol.

Xzavi earning a new trait actually made me remember that I can actually use the rewards store in this challenge, so I went in and got him the Seldom sleepy trait. With five kids, magic, acting and earning fame, he’s always busy and getting enough sleep can be a struggle for him.

The maid never cleaned the grill, so I ended up having to send Ellen do it. I miss sims 2 maids, I feel like they were more efficient back then lol.

But I mean, how much can I know? I have barely played like two hours of sims two in the last year lol I gotta get back to that too.

Dancing party to help the clingy toddler skill~ he got a little tired of roughousing lol.

I believe this was the weekend, hence the girls working on their skilling too. Agatha gets her missing chess game and Zu experiments. I think Feng was upstairs using that pc. Also, Xzavi works on having Iggy learn to sit. They grow up so fast!

So fast indeed! Our little guy now can scoot around the house being all cute ❤ congrats Iggy!

Since Feng is very close to her teen birthday it was time to get serious on the painting skill so we can paint the needed portraits. Also, this is always one of the best ways to work on fame for Xzavi.

… And I have no words for this lol You guys were just talking and painting together! WTH?!

I’m kinda considering (again) getting the family a pet just so we don’t end up with an extra baby just since these two can’t take their hands of eachother lol. I know risky is gonna hit them at some point. (or they are gonna end up with another autonomous TFB lol that’s how they had Zu after all).

I mean, as usual, it is literally your job Xzavi, I really hope you like it lol!

He decided that while practicing an Action scene with grandma Skye lol I love it that the scene actually came out wrong and Xzavi shot himself with the raygun lol at least he’s having fun.

Saddly, that night we get the news that Ophelia’s husband Dallas passed. He will be missed. Ophelia is still quite young tho, so maybe she’ll get married again, we’ll see.

Feeding invants in the high chair keeps being one of my favorite things to do ❤ I kinda rush to get them to sit just for this lol!

I checked Xzavi’s aspiration panel and he needed to throw a Fan meet and greet to finish his current tier, so we did just that! I haven’t tried a lot of these ones, but they are fun to do.

He chatted with his fans, possed for pictures and even was asked for one selfie lol Let’s hope we have fun with the rest of them.

And after it ended he stayed singing some karaoke since I noticed that it also gives him fame, and because he must be my sim with a higher Singing skill ever, so he has a lot of options unlocked lol.

We had to leave a little after that tho,because people started to …die lol on the lot, and I really didn’t need Xzavi getting a sad moodlet for witnessing death so… have fun at work Grim! lol!

Besides, the girls were back home from school, and Zu got an A! Now she just needs to max her Mental skill to be done with her aspiration!

Also, +1!

Awwwwn Aggy got a hurt sentiment because Xzavi and Ellen have been spending lots of time with Iggy! You know they love you Aggy! It’s just that babies requiere lots of attention and help!

To make her feel a little better, Xzavi reads a couple more stories to her, and Vaughn too. I guess they weren’t done with the reading part of her aspiration before lol.

Meanwhile, Zu finally maxes her skill and completes her first aspiration! +2

I gave her the new Slumber party animal one next, let’s experiment!

Vaughn and Ingulf are becoming friends, even tho Iggy doesn’t look too pleased here lol I thought it was cute that toddlers can go entertain and play with Infants. They are so sweet ❤

Jellybean is always the center of attention when she visits ❤ I still love and miss this dog so much!

Soooo Xzavi again had a video opportunity about doing an Angry rant, so totally forgetting that being mean to other sims made him sad because of the Good manners trait, I sent him our to antagonize another townie and they even got into a fight lol.

Funfact about this: Being mean didn’t even make him angry, but it did have him earn the Evil trait as a self-discovery lol so that’s gonna be fun from now on!

He isn’t evil at all with his family tho. Here we have him teaching little Iggy to stand. I haven’t tried my hand at these milestones since in my 100 infants challenge I just need to have them crawl before aging them up.

It’s a social afternoon for the Svartulv kids today! That kid with the blue skin is Jarvis Moreno. Aggy is maing friends with him to see if maybe they like eachother later.

Also, I checked the family tree since I remembered that Moreno is Jaleesa’s (Oz’s wife) last name too, and found out that Jarvis her nephew! that’s cool she has more alien relatives!

The main reason there were so many kids in the house was because we were hosting a slumber party for Zu. It took me a little while to get the hang of it and find all of the actions the party was asking for lol but in the end I managed, and I think the kids had a great time! It was a lot of fun to do, but I gotta keep in mind that the sleeping bags take quite a lot of space lol Feng ended up sleeping upstairs because of it, and this house has lots of open space.

anothar day, another “Salem loving the milestones” moment lol tell me it’s not cute that they can get this!

Vaughn then goes back to watching to finish his thinking, while Xzavi works on quite an amazing painting.

While I was watching Zu teach Vaughn some shapes and numbers, Feng completed her third aspiration! That’s my girl! +2 more!

Now we’re too close to her birthday to get another one done, so she can rest as much as she likes until then.

Speaking of finishing things, Xzavi finally managed to get Vaughn the last bit of thinking skill he was missing to max all of his skills! That’s +5 for another top-notch toddler!

It was right in time too, because it was Vaughn’s birthday already! Happy birthday little guy! I can’t wait to see you all grown up ❤

Annd here we have him! he’s a cutie, as we all knew he would be. Vau got Lazy as his first trait, which is funny since his mom is Active lol and the Artistic Prodigy aspiration as his first.

He’s looking very unhappy in this picture because his needs were a mess with all the last minute skilling lol but don’t worry, he was promptly given some food and send to bed to fix him up real good.

Later that night we got the notification that Astro and Fernanda decided to expand their family! I’m super excited about that, these two are so cute ❤

Ingulf: *Hanging out in the chair*

Skye: “Oh! We didn’t have any of those in my time, right, Louis?”

I know, they are quite recent adhition. Do you like him?

Skye: “Yeah, he’s quite cute. And I’m a very proud great grandmama.”

Wow, it’s still so weird to think that Salem is a great- great grandmother now!

Looks like little Ingulf is not gonna be so little anymore soon! Birthday time~

But he squeezed a final little milestone in before his birthday! Awwwwn it was so cute to see him pull himself to stand with the chair!! I have no idea why his hands are grasping air in this picture tho lol!

And it was the perfect time to celebrate then! Happy birthday Iggy!

And we have a cute little toddler! He’s gonna have his makeover in a little while. We’re still mising one last birthday before finishing up.

For now, we add some last minute points as Ellen maxes her Gourmet cooking skill! Now she can focus on Baking to get all 3 done! +1

Also, ghosts are obsessed with popcorn lol I got the popcorn-maker for the kids, but it’s the mainly the ghosts who use it, and even prepare more on their own when it runs out lol.

The older kids have a pyjama reunion in one of the bedrooms, and it’s here where I realize that I accidentally gave Zu and Aggy the same pyjama set lol! I could change it, but nah, they both look pretty cute on pink, and Zu’s not gonna be a child for much longer either.

Iggy is the only one left outside the sibling reunion since he’s still too little, and he’s busy with other matters, like getting his potty skill up so things are easier for all of us.

A cute sisters playing together shor for Zu and Feng ❤ These two are seriously some of my closests siblings, even for how close this family tends to be in general.

Xzavi got another opportunity while we waited for his next gig. Apparently, they wanted to see him fishing, so he took the livestreaming drone to the fishing spot to see if we could get it done, but the gig popup interrupted us lol.

Xzavi finally had gained enough fame to get the perk that makes so he doesn’t have to go through hair and make up fro his gigs! So this is his first time having his amazing blue hair on the screen!

He was acting a sit-come gig, it was quite easy, but fun as always. I think it’s funny how that sim dressed as a space/futuristic character randomly walked into the set lol very sit-com like honestly.

We go back home as soon as we’re done though, because we finally got the notification I was waiting for!

It’s Feng’s teen birthday! Hooray for the first teen of this generation! Happy birthday Feng!

And finally, makeovers get done on both of our birthday kids! Feng is beautiful, though you can’t really look at her face with those big sunglasses lol she definitely looks a lot like her dad, but I don’t think she’s a faceclone. She got the Bro trait, and the Rennaissance sim aspiration, that’s always a fun one to complete!

Iggy is also looking a lot like Xzavi so far, we’ll see if this keeps being the case as he grows up. I don’t have his trait written down but I believe he’s a Charmer, And we should be seeing him turn into a child next chapter!

Because for now, this is where we’re stopping! I hope you guys had lots of fun with us! Next time, we’ll keep looking into the new aspirations and probably growing some more kids into teens, plus trying to get Xzavi to be asked for selfies lol wish us luck with that!

For now, have fun, and happy simming everyone!

Family Updates:

This is Perry Duggan, Ophelia’s second born.

And this is her adoptive sister, Elyse. She grew up really pretty!

Going onto Khal’s family, this is his first born, Kingsley, as a teen! As I always knew, kid is a total stick figure with a bobblehead lol I love it

And here’s his much younger brother, Henry! he’s a cutie, looks a lot like Khal when he was his age.

Nitza’s family ended up not giving us that newest cousin she keep asking if she should have for some reason lol but instead, she and Laurel ended up deciding to adopt, so we welcome Adonis to the family! Maybe they didn’t want another baby when all of their girls are already teens too lol.

And we move to the youngest to have family so far (but not for too long since Fernanda is expecting!). This is Ozbej’s Blossom as a child! she looks so adorable ❤

And this is the youngest of the family and first infant on the extended family! We named her Erin!

Points so far: 537
