Warning: half of this update was written while watching Starkid Musicals, and half of it watching The Drag Detective videos lol I don’t take responsability for how both things influenced me!
Hey there everyone! Welcome back to the life of the Svartulv family!
Last time in this savefile we experienced with Infants for the first time for the family! We had a bunch of bierthdays, a slumber party, and I realized that I’m probably gonna end up with an extra baby by how close Ellen and Xzavi keep being lol. It was a fun one! This time, I think this one is also gonna be quite fun, at least if the amount of pictures I took is a sign lol on that note, I gotta make this clear: this update is suuuuper long lol! I just kept playing and playing because I was having too much fun lol it was hard to stop!
I hope I can convey said fun in my writting, you’ll let me know lol let’s jump in and check in with the family, shall we?
These two… seriously these two keep not being able to keep their hands to themselves lol just look at them! We barely started and they are already flirting… I love them so much lol.
Also I’m seriously considering getting the family another dog just so we don’t have space for any oops babies lol but I wanted a little rest from pets so… we’re thinking about it.
But anyways, we’ll think about that later. For now, I took these pics to show that both Ingulf and Vaughn have the magicall crystal in their inventories, so that means they are spellcasters!
That would be +2 points for having non-human kids!
Also speaking of inventories, I discovered that Xzavi is now famous enough to recieve fan mail lol this is a first for me! I love experiencing new things in my game.
Also, I took out Xzavi’s diploma from his inventory and hung it on the living room, I love the look!
If I remember correcly I also hung his graduation picture in his bedroom, but hey, that’s just a photo lol.
Since Feng grew up last chapter, I needed to give her an after-school activity, and since my sister decided to buy us the HSY expansion pack, I decided to try the new Cheerleading team! This means that Feng needs some Fitness skill to get promoted, so she tries her hand at her mom’s punching bag.
Said mom is meanwhile working on some skills with her youngest little boy. And Xzavi keeps working on his painting to help keep his fame up too.
This is probably terrible pacing, but a little after that I decided that it was time to throw another slumber party to finish with Zu’s aspiration!
I’m still having a lot of fun with these ones, it’s a great way to have the kids befriend more children and get a little bit of the spotlinght over them. Zufash was able to tell lots of stories for her aspiration, and this time Vaughn was able to participate too!
We actually invited this kid, Jonas, to see if he would get along with our little Vaughn, and I gotta say he already has all my approval because his trait is Kleptomaniac lol I love my mischief sims!
Zu also got the chance to give her friend Noel a friendship bracelet she made a couple days ago, another adhition that I think it’s really cute with the GrT pack!
Saddly little Ingulf is still a little too young to participate in the party, maybe we’ll have another one once he grows up? For now he gets some story time before bed with her big sister Feng, so I don’t think he can be too mad.
I don’t remember if I said this before, but Sinbad’s youngest kid Nora is the current vendor at our food stall. Xzavi needed to practice… I think it was his comedy skill for a gig? so I sent him to talk to her while the kids were having their party.
And speaking of the party, it ended up a little later with a gold! With that Zu completed her second aspiration, this is a really fun one to do honestly! And +1!
She still has a couple more days for her birthday, soI gave her the Artistic prodigy aspiration to work on for now.
I really love having that cool tv from Knox’ job in the bedroom, but I think it was extremelly rude from Javon to literally come in and turn on the tv to wake Ellen up lol literally! he came, turned on the tv and turned it off again after she was up.
Next morning while the kids are at school, Xzavi goes around the house doing chores. A.k.a. repairing everything the ghosts broke + this keyboard that breaks down too much lol.
And then we took the change to try a Fan meet & greet to keep working on his aspiration. We threw this one at The Solar Flare since it’s close to home and it’s kinda cool looking for a basegame lot lol.
Theings went alright, but we still have not gotten lucky with Xzavi being asked for selfies. I think it’s probably a little harder to have it happen during an event like this one because I need to control Xzavi to complete the tasks of the event, but I need him to be on free will so he gets asked lol so I think maybe I will try to have him get out of the house in normal outings instead next time.
Also, while on the event we recieved this pretty epic call from Ismael lol when did we start getting these ones? I love them! We love Ismael, so we were nice to him lol.
And on the way back home after the event was done we had a quick stop on Laurel and Nitza’s house because I got the notification that their oldest, Namaari, had aged up. I was gonna wait a little extra so I could flag both her and Imelda at the same time, but I knew I was gonna forget if I didn’t do it now lol.
Also, look at how annoyed Namaari looks lol I hadn’t seen a spare look so against being flagged in a while!
Back home now! I took a pick of Zu to show that she’s wearing her cute little friendship bracelet ❤ I love that detail! She has to stop playing and do her homework little after tho, but don’t worry, she had Ellen to help her out. Ellen is the best!
Khaliq came to visit ❤ Hi Khal! I’ve really been missing the kids from the past gen lately, I should probably look into doing a Family reunion now that we have the option.
After hanging out with his brother, Xzavi goes to experiment with the cauldron for a while. With all the kids and the fame stuff I haven’t really been skilling with the spellcaster stuff for him, maybe we will focus a little bit more on that for the next generation?
It would be easy if one of the boys are named heir since they are our only spellcasters, but it’s not like turning someone is hard lol. Also, I had to take this pic of Vaughn working on his aspiration to say that I’m completely in love with this Werewolves pack sweater ❤ It’s just way too cute and I have to stop myself to use it in every child lol.
A couple of pics of Xzavi being a doting father to little Iggy ❤ He’s really enjoying being the only toddler around thanks to infants being a thing now lol.
Next morning Ellen discovers her first new trait. Neat is always a good one to have, and it suits her being a mom and a chef, so we say yes.
The ghosts stayed up a little later than usual that day, and I think it affected Knox lol you ok there bud?
Knox: “Why do this hamburger squeeks? Food shouldn’t do that. And why is it so wet?”
Let’s leave him to figure out that’s just Jellybean’s toy lol. She still loves to use it when she comes to visit.
And Salem went to chat with Ellen while she was using the kitchen to make some magic ❤ it’s always nice to see my founder again.
Here we have some of Ellen’s newest creations. She’s already… I think level 6 on the baking skill, and I also had her try her hand at canning. It’s a shame that canning is not a skill, because I just adore those little jars and I would love to have an extra escuse to make them lol but hey, they do make for very cute little gifts and clutter objects.
Hey, Ophelia’s oldest turned into a YA! I still remember when Ophelia was just a baby ❤ I’ll have to remember to go flag her later too.
For now, I got super distracted because Feng had a want to call someone over the phone, and that made me realize that Francis is a teen now! They are chatting on the phone now, maybe we will invite him over after school to see if there are some sparks there?
Vaughn has a very social life… with our stuffed animals lol this happens sometimes with my sims, but I think he’s the first one who has a positive relationship with all of them! I’m honestly a little impressed lol.
Xzavi mastered the media production skill today! Saddly this is the same skill as Music mixing and Knox maxed it last generation, but it does give us at least a +1!
And then we get +2 more because Aggy and Feng got their As! Thanks girls!
Aaaaan then this happened! Remember how I said I was gonna invite Francis over after school? Well, I actually got a pop-up of Feng asking to bring home her friend Chelsea that same day. I honestly didn’t know she even had a friend named Chelsea lol.
Well, I said yes and decided we could wait until next day to invite Francis over… and then Feng had one (1) conversation with Chelsea and I got the pop-up for her having a crush! This is my first one ever!! And I mean…Chelsea is quite cute… maybe Feng found her own SO without my imput this time? I think I’m gonna let it play out!
For now, we can focus on other stuff, like Aggy completing her aspiration! that’s +2 more for the chapter~
I gave her the Creative genius one next, so we had to buy a treehouse so she can work on it. Xzavi gets started on it right away, and even Vaughn comes out to help too!
Family updates! Looks like Khal and Keisha decided they want more kids after all! I’m very happy, I love them both ❤
Feng woke up next morning with this moodlet lol I totally forgot that HSY brought us acne! I had her apply a skin cleanser so she feels better. This is fun!
Random cute hug between Xzavi and Zu ❤ I think Xzavi knows that her little girl is gonna grow up very soon.
Yay, dynamics! And of course is Jokesters lol good for them!
Skilling morning for the family~ The cheerleading mat is pretty fun to watch lol also, the trrehouse was completed and Vaughn and Agatha played pretend together!
More good news! Xzavi maxed the Painting skill while painting Feng’s portrait! that’s +1 for the skill, and +1 for the portrait! This is a very points heavy update so far!
Aaaaand then Chelsea took me by surprise again! Can sims just do that? That’s awesome!! I’m loving the autonomy of it all! My sims deciding what they want on their own is one of my favorite things about this game!
Soooo looks like Xifeng has a date to prom on sunday! yay!
(It’s been like a three weeks since I played this and I’m still super excited!)
We take a quick intermision to follow Xzavi to work! He was doing the Singing in the rain gig, I think it’s the first time I’ve played this one, and I really enjoyed the musical comedy lol.
Also, this was the last gig he needed to max the career! Man, this one goes fast lol and that’s another +5 for a new career! We’re gonna keep working because it’s one of the best ways to keep fame up, but I may relax a little more with it.
For now, Xzavi goes inside to practice with his magical guitar, and Ingulf comes to listen to him to get his imagination up. At this point I was having some trouble reading to my toddlers for some reason, so his imagination was getting a little bit behind.
Oh! Look at that, it’s so strange when I get pop-ups for my sims disliking a type of music! I guess Zu is more of a latin type of music? or something else at least lol.
Ellen, as always, proves to be a very good mom and helps the kids with their homework. Then Vaughn goes up and has a duet with Zu in the music department~
Hey, looks like we have a vampire reunion outside of our house lol I hope it’s just outside the house! Also, Lilith was attacked by the Incheon arrivals makeover lol at least I really like that kit’s clothes, she looks super different dressed like that!
Jesus christ! Namaari, me flagging you to not get married or have kids was not a reason for you to die!
Namaari: “What do you care!! Leave me alone!!”
In the words of a great drag queen:
Also, her death made Xzavi develop a fear of death for some reason! Thanks a lot Namaari!
Also, Xzavi is a disaster lol I had totally forgotten that he got the Evil trait last chapter, but then he suddenly got the want to make an enemy, and he also wanted to fight a ghost because he’s scared of ghosts… Sooo he may have started a fight with his grandpa Louis? lol a part of me feels bad because Louis is lovely, the other one is just having a little too much fun with this all.
Looks like Astro and Fernanda had their baby! congrats, and welcome little Adam!
Somehow Xzavi becaome good friends with Ismael while being asleep lol I’m guessing is a thing with his fame perks?
Being evil doesn’t excuse Xzavi from parenting duty. Ingulf’s birthday is creeping upon us and we still have some work to do~
also me:
Aaaaand so we took a trip to the park to keep working on Xzavi’s aspiration while Iggy slept and the other kids were at school lol. He did get asked for something this time, but I don’t remember if it was a selfie or an autograph lol.
I sent him to the Brindleton Bay park because it had the Dog-friendly trait and I thought it was the one that made it so stray doggies visited, so I thought if one appeared we could adopt it. But nope, dog friendly makes it so sims stop by with their owned pets lol good to know.
Soo we have no pet, but we did see a lot of the family! Astro was hanging out with Neville’s rogue baby mama lol Ophelia is as cute as always ❤ and we also had the chance to flag Imelda without having to go track her home! Success all the way!
As we arrived back home we got welcomed with a notification! Looks like Feng got her first promotion! She still has one more to go, but I’m not worried since we now have 3 whole weeks as teenagers lol more than enough time for it.
Also, apparently Ellen was having some trouble with the treadmill, and developed the Clumsy trait lol I had to say yes, this is one of my favorites.
Shot of Xifeng wearing her cute uniform! I love cheerleaders lol they aren’t really much of a thing in my country, but they look so cute and cool ❤
Oh, hey, looks like we have the arts/music NAP lol it’s one of the least annoying ones, so I take it, it’s funny to see townies break into a musical number from time to time.
The night keeps being very productive for us! Agatha completes her second aspiration, and Vaughn completes the first! That’s +3 more points for us!
I remember I gave Vaughn Playtime captain next, but I don’t remember abour Aggy… I’ll have to check next time.
Oh, no! Hell no! I knew forgetting to flag some kids was gonna bit me in the butt someday! *erases pregnancy and flags them*
Rae and Kat: “Why?!
Don’t fall in love with your uncle/niece! Forbidden!! I would’ve tolerated any other oops baby, but this is too much lol!
look, it’s Jellybean visiting and playing with her squeeky burger lol! Show this to Knox!
I belieeeeve that it was neighborhood brawl day… but I can’t really be sure with Xzavi lol I just know that he’s fighting cousin Neville for some reason lol. Again, he’s a disaster.
Ingulf is totally opposite to his dad and is just a cute little angel ❤ I love it when toddlers play with things they shouldn’t lol.
Oh, I think it definitely wasn’t neighborhood brawl, because apparently it’s Love day! Nice to now Xzavi was just being a prick lol!
Anyways, Ellen and Xzavi go for another date at the restaurant so we can keep working on the food pics collection. It goes well, even thought the waitress is a little clumsy and drops their food the first time lol. I think it’s the first time it happens to one of my sims.
Kids come back home while we were at the date, and Vaughn gets his grades up! One step closer for another A! Xifeng on the other hand, didn’t have the best exam day. I blame this on myself lol I had no idea you actually have to study for exams now lol. I am also a former gifted kid, so I never learnt about studying in general, so I also blame society lol!
It was also cheerleading competition day, so I took Feng since she’s part of the team, and also Xzavi so he could hang around and hopefully get asked for more stuff. We had 0 luck this time, but it was a good outing lol.
I couldn’t figure out how to have Feng do a routine with the team, but she did one with Xzavi instead and that was fun to watch. Xzavi didn’t get more requests, but he did take a very cool selfie with the giant football poster!
I’m guessing I either gave Aggy Mind&Body or Playtime captain lol seeing as we find her trying her hand at riding the bike after the event. I really love this, but it takes so long for them to learn lol.
Toddlers reading books = Happy Salem ❤
And this moment marks the point Zu completes the last drawing she needed for the Artistic Prodigy aspiration! That’s +2 more points for us! And just in time, seeing her agebar was already bubbling!
We go downstairs for a couple birthday shots, happy birthday Zufash!
She grew up very pretty ❤ I think she looks a lot like Xzavi! She now has the Love the outdoors trait, and her aspiration is Painter extraordinaire. One that I’m reptty surprised we haven’t completed yet during the challenge lol.
Zu also has a very impresive set of character values. Since Ellen is gonna be needing one child with 3 positive character values, I think we will keep an eye on hers.
Vaughn stomps playfully on the new splash pad for his aspiration. Also, I have to say you can tell when I’m thinking about moving a family because I start just adding random stuff to the backyard lol I have no idea why, but it’s always the first thing I start tearing down lol.
Also yeah, I’m thinking about moving for next generation. I want to build a house with an infant room now that we have them lol and maybe go to Sulani or Mt Komorebi so we have an easier time with those collections lol. We’ll see what I decide.
Ok, so… I have memory of having Zu declare a favorite lol I think it was Feng. But I had no idea her other siblings would get this sad moodlet from it lol! Man, that made me feel so bad for little Iggy! You didn’t do anything wrong little guy!
Hey Nina, if you want to help us with the puddles from the bathtub that you broke youself… maybe repair the bathtub? (that, again, you broke youself??).
Nina: *whistling happily*
Hey, this dynamic is a new one! That’s really cute too! Of course you can be supportive to eachother!
Today I’m sending Xzavi to work on his own because I have plans… and I just want to ask… what the fuck dude? What is the alien bunny thing doing in a Period drama?!
Xzavi: “This is what happens when you don’t come with me to put some order in set! Why do you leave me alone?!”
Hey, I’m sorry! I’m taking care of your daughter!
Xzavi: “Thanks about that but I still blame you!”
…He’ll get over it lol Let’s go on with the plans:
I took Feng and Chelsea to a date on the thrift shop! I figured if they are going to prom together, it made sence to have them know eachother a little better before. They seemed to have a great time, and honestly they make quite a cute couple ❤ I’m a fan.
Also, the thrift store is a super cool lot. Now I gotta go visit the pier sometime.
I signed up some of my sims to Social bunny to try it… and this is what Xzavi is sending TO HIS DAUGHTER! The daughter he has a supportive dynamic with lol! WTH Xzavi?
Xzavi: “I’m Evil!!!”
Still doesn’t make sense!!
Also look at how cute Francis is ❤ he’s a good and supportive friend.
Back in the house, I remember to have Zu get a job too, so we’re checking out the new Simfluencer career~ Apparently that needs the new Entrepenurial career, so I guess I’ll have a lot to experiment with. But later, because:
Sorry lol.
I took the family to the park so Vaughn could make some more friends for his aspiration. Also took the chance to have Feng help Agatha learning to ride her bike. Which I think it’s funny, seeing Feng never learnt to ride a bike herself lol.
… Xzavi… are you drunk?
Xzavi: “Not drunk, just forgotten!! You forget about me and take my kids out without me!”
…He’s going through a dramatic phase. I think that’s what I get for getting a theater kid as my MS lol. Also, we told him we’ll visit tomorrow because.. you know, we live there…
But tomorrow, because we had a prom to attend to today! Man this was a busy weekend for the family lol it was great!
Feng spend the night dancing and hanging out with Chelsea, and in the middle of it Chelsea asked her to make it official! I’m seriously so happy with them ❤ … Zu on the other hand spent the night making friends around the room. While she hasn’t even been to school yet and so it was kinda strange to have her at prom, I wanted to check how common the crush thing was to see if it was really special between Chelsea and Feng lol. Zu didn’t get the pop-up with anybody, so now I’m even happier ❤
Back home and back to work (boooooo!) on aspirations, even if it means having Vaughn biking at 3 AM lol. Sorry kid.
Vaughn: “Aye you kidding? Being awake playing in the middle of the night is the dream of every kid!”
…He’s got a point lol.
Ellen came back that night with a promotion! This is level 9 for her and she’s barely an adult! Granted she had 5 kids and that keeps her young lol but still, it’s impresive for a non-legacy sim.
In case you’re wondering: Xzavi hasn’t take the alien bunny costume so far lol! I’m having fun seeing ho long I can keep him wearing it. Also, once he takes it out, we will have this beauty blog I sent him to make lol! It was just too perfect to let the chance slide.
Hey, looks like Keisha and Khal’s new baby is home! They had a little girl this time, how cute after their two boys ❤ Welcome to the family, Alexis!
This family lives pretty mmuch on baked goods now lol I don’t think nobody’s complaining, I for sure wouldn’t lol. Also, I don’t get how they are not all round as soccer balls with that diet lol but good for them, good for them.
Sunday was spent working on more skills and hanging out at home to recover from the very busy friday-saturday. Apparently the entrepenurial skill levels up by selling stuff, so Zu paints pictures and sells her paintings and that helps with both her job and aspiration!
Vaughn completed his second aspiration! That’s +1 more! Even our relaxing day is being really productive lol.
I believe I gave Vaughn Social butterfly next and that’s why he’s working on making a bestfriend…but I don’t remember lol I had played a looot at this point. Also, Aggy is also working on becoming best friends with Jarvis for the same reason I think…? Or maybe just because I really like Jarvis lol the alien skintone gives him many points.
Xzavi is practicing his magic again and terrorizing the neighborhood! lol Also, I don’t remember if I already introduced his familiar, but that’s Cubone! He’s a funny little critter.
Oh, hey, Aggy managed to reach level 10 Motor skill (and she still can’t ride a bike lol), those are some last minute points! +1
This reminds me again that she’s actually working on Mind&Body, so befriending Jarvis was actually just because I like him lol good to know.
Also take some notes woman! Please!
But the real last points of this update come from Ingulf reaching his birthday! He grew up into a very cute little boy ❤ God I love all of these kids! I’m not jealous of you guys having to choose a heir for the generation lol!
Anyways, this birthday gives us +5 for Ingulf being a Top-notch toddler, and an extra +1 for being finished with toddlerhood for this generation!
Aaaand because this update is already ridiculously long, I think we’re gonna stop right here lol sorry again, I was just having so much fun playing this time! Next time we’re probably gonna be having Aggy and Vaughn turn into teens, maybe finally get done with Xzavi’s selfies? I don’t think so but shhhh let’s be optimistic lol. And hopefully many more surprises like this update!
I’ll try to be back soon, for now, happy simming!
Family Updates:
When I went to check on Ophelia’s family to finish the update, I found out that she indeed got married again! This is her new husband, Fetu Ngata. He’s good looking, we’ll see if they decide to have some more kids.
For now, here we have Ophelia’s youngest, Harley, as a teen. She grew up so pretty!
Moving onto Oz’s family, we have his twins, Zion and Zinnia, as teens. I also love them both very much!
This is their younger sister, Blossom. I love that she grew up with the hearing aid! I love that we now have hearing aids in game, yay for inclusivity!
And finally, this is the youngest of the bunch, Erin. With the super cute bee dress ❤
Points so far: 565
