4.9: That felt quick!

Hey there guys! It’s finally time to have some more Name game adventures!

Last time, we dealed with an emergency move all the way to Sulani, curtesy of annoying bugs that almost gave me a heart attack lol But hey, everything worked great in the end and I really love our new house, so ha-ha to you bugs!

Lol anyways, we had some teen adventures, a little bit of romance and a little bit of aspiration progress! Ah, yes, and we also had the pregnancy and birth of a surprise extra baby, as is already a tradition for this family it seems lol I have no idea why I even bother trying to not have a Six-letter name if we’re ending with six kids anyways lol!

Today we’re advancing the gamen until the point of our next heirpoll! That’s right, heirpolls already! I hope you guys are ready to choose! We still have around a week to go before then tho, so let’s just jump in and keep the show moving!

We start the day with Xzavi feeding our oops baby, Erick lol I can’t believe they had an extra baby so quickly. I was expecting them to take to the end of the generation like usual lol!

He’s a cutie tho, so I can’t be mad. Ellen and Xzavi make some cute kids ❤

I was looking into the girls’ inventories randomly and I found that Agatha has some prom pictures! That’s adorable ❤ so I hung one of them in the bedroom wall.

Speaking of Aggy, she and Feng are sharing a cute little moment ourside ❤ I love this family so much.

Aaaand inside, I think Salem is melting into the floor lol?

Salem: “Heeeeeeelp!”

Hey, you’re already dead honey, I doubt something bad can happen to you at this point lol.

Salem: “Is this how you treat your simself and founder?! I’m melting!”

Yeah… and that’s weird, so I’m gonna move on lol good luck with that!

We move to some sad news for the family in Neighborhood stories! Cousin Isander dies electrocuted, and also Xzavi’s best friend Ismael dies in a hiking accident! That’s a shame, I really loved having Ismael around for parties and stuff!

They both will be missed </3

But as they say, the show must keep going on. So Xzavi deals with his sadness by spending time with Erick. He’s already learning how to sit up, they grow up so fast ❤

The teens are all having a homework/reading party in the living room lol Xifeng was also with them, but she got up and left just as I was taking the scheenshot, I think you can see her shoe on the left of the shot lol!

I randomly remembered that one of the reasons we moved here was to work on the beach collections, so I sent Xzavi to beachcomb for a while to see if we get lucky.

We didn’t, at all lol but hey, that’s the way of the game.

Back in the house, Zu decides that she likes video games, a like that it’s always approved! She’s a girl of taste~

What I find funny about it is that she got the like while talking to her brother Vaughn lol I’m gonna guess Vaughn is very good at explaning plots or mechanics of videogames?

Since teenhood is a little longer this time and I really didn’t have much to do while waiting for Ingulf to grow up for the heirpoll. I decided to get a start on the teen’s aspirations meanwhile. Feng just needed one more point in any skill. so I had her get her charisma up since it was already level 3.

This is as far as she can go for now since she needs to be an adult next, so we’ll move to the other children now.

Vaughn has the werewolf aspiration, and to be a werewolf he needs to not be an spellcaster, so we took a trip to the Magic realm so he could be turned into a human.

This then made me realize that Vaughn and Ingulf are not actually spellcasters as I believed since they were born lol! They just have the magic crystal and weak bloodline traits because they are children of a spellcaster lol! I’m sorry, my bad, I think I just assumed because it has been so easy to get baby spellcasters in my Baby boom challenge lol!

I guess I’m gonna take out the points I added from their births, so for the first (and hopefully only) time in this challenge… we get a -2 lol!

While Vaughn was talking to Morgyn, which made me realize he wasn’t a spellcaster lol Xzavi went to check on some new tomes to learn magic and then popped out the guitar to entertain the passerbys. We gotta keep his fame up!

Before going home I decided to try and find a werewolf to transform Vaughn since he’s a regular human after all, so we made a quick stop at Moodwood mill.

As usual, we found Rory lol I feel like she’s the one werewolf I aaaaalways find. And I’m happy about it, she’s my favorite ❤

Vaughn did get to meet her and started making friends with her, but we didn’t get the relationship high enough for Rory to bite him. He’s one of our youngest tho, so we have more than enough time to get him turned before he moves out or takes over. Also, talking to Rory got us this dialogue and I love it! I love the little pieces of lore and personality the newer premades have been getting ❤

Not me calling Werewolves “new” lol!

We went back to the house then, and somehow little Erick decided to go on an adventure?? You guys wanna see wew he is?

Listen, you barely cann even see him in this picture! That’s how far away from the house he spawned! He’s next to the blue hose btw lol see that tiny dot?

What the hell game? That’s my baby!

I usually don’t use the teleport cheats, but Erick kept getting spawned in the most ridiculous parts of the island all of this play session lol so just because my infant is a little too adventurous, we’re using them for today lol!

Also look at that! Erick learnt to sit up~

Now I don’t know what is cuter ❤ our girl Jellybean coming to visit, or Erick trying his first food in the high chair ❤ thiese are definitely two of my favorite things in the whole game.

Lol! Had fun being a space monster in a period drama again Xzavi?

Xzavi: “I’m your heir, what do you ignore me like this?”

Sorry man, I just thought it was easier for us since your needs weren’t really the best when you left lol! But yeah, I think I need to give Xzavi some more attention.

So I did just that and went in a skilling spree with him! Since Ellen doesn’t really need to cook anymore, Xzavi has taken over so we can get an extra point for bhim maxing the skill. And speaking about maxing skills, he just got level 10 Parenting while giving Erick a bath! That’s my boy~

+1~

To celebrate, I decided to organize him another meet-and-greet so we can keep chugging of at his aspiration. Everything went great this time and Xzavi even got asked for his second selfie! Thanks to cousin Imelda for that! Xzavi also entertained his guests with some guitar and soccer ball kicking~

And getting a new record with the soccer ball actually took him over the threshold to earn his fifth star! Congrats Xzavi! You are officially a global superstar!

Of course we’re still missing some last requirements from his aspiration, but this is big! It really takes a lot of effort to get a sim this high lol.

Then we got the notifications of the kids coming back from school, and looks like Aggy got her A! Congrats Aggy! +1

And this is our sign to go back home~

Looks like Xzavi didn’t like my decision too much lol.

Xzavi: “I’m a 5 star celebrity! Why am I sharing my meal with a child instead of my adoring fans?!”

…Xzavi, that is your child!! I think your ego is getting a little too big now lol!

Iggy: “Thanks dad… Love you too.”

#Justice4myboy lol

Chelsea stopped by the house to chat with Feng after school ❤ I really love these two together, can’t wait for Feng to grow up so they can be together again.

Iggy got tired of his father compairing him to his adoring fans and went outside to keep working on his bike riding lol at least he managed to master it! That’s my boy, he’s doing great!

Oh, this is surprising lol! C’mon Ellen, you were so close to maxing the skill!

Ellen: “So. Many. Baked goods! I’m tired!! I want to make real food!!”

…Ok, I guess Ellen is more of a dinner chef than a pastry chef lol I know I’m not obligated to say yes to the likes and dislikes but… It makes it more interesting lol. So now Ellen dislikes baking lol.

Hey, look! Knox decided to paint us one of my favorite paintings during his visit tonight! Also, looks like he also spent some time swimming before? lol that or maybe he played with the water parks.

Here we have a little montage of cute pictures or Erick ❤ man, it’s been a couple months since infants already, but I’m still just in love with them! I specially love Erick pulling out a toy to play in his crib ❤ I didn’t knew they could do that.

Iggy got an A! That’s +1 for us~

Hahahahaha Okaaaaay this milestone moolet is one of my favorites now lol! Don’t worry Aggy, I doubt you’ll get abducted again lol there are no aliens in this household anymore~

…I do plan on her going into the Astronaut career if she’s chosen heiress but…shhhh don’t scare her lol!

Oooooh and then Feng got this call! I think this is one of those cases where early graduation works great for us, that way the kids can get started in Uni! So we said yes!

Feng, you can stop working on that homework! You’re gonna be a college student now!

Also, why are you doing homework on your parents bed, while your dad is sleeping? lol!

Feng: “He’s super famous! Maybe his fame will stick to me!”

Lmao, I just can’t with sims and fame lol!

I love Clumsy sims lol! ❤ They are so adorable!

Looks like Xzavi likes at least one of kids now lol at least he’s trying to have a conversation with Feng

Xzavi: “She recognizes how famous I am. I’m pleased about that.”

Xzavi we really gotta work on your ego lol.

In other news, look at that Character values list! I rarely have a child with all of them in the green, there’s always al least one leaning to the red lol! Usually is either empathy or conflict resolution. It makes sense, I’m bad at both those things lol.

While waking Erick up to change his diaper and feed him, Ellen mastered the parenting skill! That’s my girl~

+1

And meanwhile, Ingulf saw this kid walking by the house and invited him to play some chess. I love the all pink style he has lol also, I don’t remember his name, but I believe he’s a Michaelson!

Looks like Zu got her final promotion! Congrats!

Also +1!

Jesus, why have all my infants lately so opinionated about food? lol! Also how can you hate both yogurt and mango Erick? Mango is my favorite fruit! And yogurt is just great!

I’m with you about papaya tho, I really hate papaya lol.

LMAO!!! I sent the family to volunteer to keep the girls CVs up, and I didn’t consider the fact that Xzavi is evil now lol!! I love it!!

Also since he was super angry, I decided to take advantage to get some angry blogs recorded lol his video partnerships almost always want him to do angry rants but I have little luck making my sims angry.

First day of school for Vaughn so I went with them! And look, cousin Zion is here again! Hi Zion!

I think Zu was happy to see her cousin too ❤ But hey, I’m not sure the middle of math class is the moment to hug your cousin lol! At least looks like the teacher didn’t notice.

During lunch Agatha surprised me by declaring she has a crush in this kid, Irvin! He’s actually super cute and you guys now I looooove alien skin, so he has many points!

Negative side? He’s a vegetarian! One of my most hated traits lol.

Positive again? He’s also a klepto…I love kleptos…

Man, this is a hard decision lol I did like Aggy and Jonas too, but I’m so freaking weak at crushes lol!

Also, Irving earns more points for just going for it! Just before their next class started he asked Aggy to go to prom with him! I like that, and I’m sure Aggy must be over the moon too!

… Why does the woman calling to let Zu graduate early looks like me?? Seriously I think that’s the Salem sim I did at the start of this challenge lol!! It must be my MCCC settings lol.

Well, anyways, Zu can join her big sister in the college life now! Congrats Zu!

And we keep celebrating! Looks like it’s time for our oops baby to join his siblings in the world of… walking lol! It’s a big day for him.

Both Aggy and Iggy need to play chess for aspiration/club purposes, so they can play with eachother! I still love these two being close ❤

Now that Zu has extra time to paint, she decided that she really likes it! That’s a good thing, she’s gonna go into an Art history degree lol.

And finally, time to get our little Erick to the cake! Happy birthday to our Oops baby!

Surprising noone, he grows into a total cutie<3 I’m kinda bummed he won’t be elegible for heirship lol I love him so much!

Xzavi had some free time to work in another mural for decoration~ This one looks pretty amazing, but I think the colors match the kids bedroom a little better, so maybe I’ll move it there once it’s finished.

Chelsea and Feng came upstairs to play some games ❤ I really like this little games nook they have here.

I am soooo happy to have an excuse to use my toddler room before next generation ❤ it really is my favorite part of the house. I just love toddlers ❤

Ingulf is apparently super best Friends with our little Lula plushie?? Wow! That’s a first for me lol most of my kids are mean to the to the plushies lol.

We were having a pretty laid back day, so I ended up deciding to call Noel for a date with Zu~ I had’t gone to the Copperdale pier before, so I wanted to go and try the Cuddle carts lol it was trully adorable, and once they left the ride Zu finally decided to try and kiss her childhood friend! Score~

Ugh, I really love all of the possible pairings we’re getting for next generation ❤ they are all adorable.

Also, Xzavi was kinda chapperoning the date lol I decided to take him along to try and get him those last selfies he needs, but no luck lol He did enjoy a cool drink from the stan behind him tho, I l hope that makes him happy.

Aaaand then once the date was done, I took Xzavi to one of the Sulani bars to host another meet n greet. I was determinated to be done with the selfie asking today! And look at that, we actually got it!! I’m so happy! I’m gonna have to remember to do the Incite cheers action now, I can already see me leaving that for Xzavi’s elder years and then he dies without completing his aspiration, that’s totally something that would happen to me lol!

Also, he got a new quirk that I haven’t had before! I love it, bring me the new content!! It’s also one that goes great with him lol!

I randomly remembered that I hadn’t gotten Vaughn a job, so he’s now a babysitter~ I also noticed that he doesn’t have a level 3 skill ofr school so far…so why not tackle both things at the same time?

So we send him to practice speeches at the mirror! Vaughn doesn’t have a future as clear as his sisters because all I now so far is he wants to be a werewolf, and werewolves mean chaos lol I’m kinda worried about having him start a Uni degree and then it turns out he gets a temperament that makes him hate it lol but don’t worry, he has more than enough time to decide what he wants from his future.

As usual, our current baby is swimming in attention ❤ Our boy is never gonna be alone with so many siblings around lol.

… Xzavi what the hell?! Why did you suddenly decided to go all against Ingulf!!

Poor boy was just playing chess and being a good kid! I’m sorry your dad is being a butthead Iggy!

Iggy: “No big deal, I’m used to it.”

That doesn’t make it any better!! Evil Sims! Am I right? lol!

Also, +1 from Iggy completing another aspiration!

Next day Aggy decided to invite her crush, Irvin, to the house. I still really like how much sims go after their crushes lol there’s always wants to invite them over or talk to them and it’s really cute.

Toddlers sleeping in the play tent = a happy Salem ❤ I love Erick so much!

…I’m gonna go ahead and blame Xzavi for this one too. Iggy, you’re not a failure! I don’t even know how you ended up losing confidence! You’re a great child and have accomplished so much already!

#Justice4Iggy

Xzavi, you better be good to this one! I don’t want to know you got difficult dynamics or negative sentiments with any other of your children! Specially not the babies of the house!

Xzavi: *whistles happily*

*sighs* this man is a disaster… and he’s way too much fun to play no matter what lol.

Hey, looks like Ophelia’s son Perry is now an adult! Congrats Perry!

I gotta remember to go flag him once we have time.

It’s not that we’re partiiculary busy tho lol but I feel like having a nice night at home. I love watching the teens hanging out, being teens lol.

Since Zu has the Painter extraordinaire aspiration and since teens now have 21 days to work on stuff before growing up so we could actually complete it before she grows up lol she was enlisted to help mom with the third mural that we’re making for the house. Saddly this one is the same Xzavi did before, I wanted to check if there were different options since I really liked the style of last one, but I guess nope.

I still had them finish it to check if I could change the colors in Build mode, but no luck. A shame.

At least spending extra time with her mom gave Zu a new like! She now likes jokes~

Feng got her acceptance letter! It doesn’t surprises me that she got accepted into basically everything lol I think we’re gonna go for a history degree, I wanna get her into the Law career since it’s one I haven’t completed before.

Also, since she already got to level 3 in her teen job, I decided to have her quit so she’s not too stressed with school. Instead she’s gonna be doing the Soccer team Uni activity because I wanna experiment if those also count for the Renaissence sim aspiration lol.

Ingulf brought a friend home from school! I feel terrible that I can’t remember her name because it’s been so long since I played lol! But I do remember she’s an Elderberry, so I believe she’s gonna grow into a cutie. Maybe there will be romance there~?

Iggy: “Gross! I’m too young to think about that!”

…You are, yeah… but it’s one of my favorite things to do!

I bought Iggy’s forgiveness with some pizza lol I always forget to buy pizza, but since Xzavi is a glutton, he had a want to eat some and I said “why not?”

You happy aboout that, mr. Space Bunny? lol

Xzavi: “I’m ignoring that just because of the pizza.”

Yaaaaay Pizza is the best way to buy your sims’ favor lol!

Later that night Xzavi got a call to go to a duel at the magic realm, and I said yes. Then I promptly got distracted by this random book somebody left out here lol I almost never read the book summaries, but I gotta say the fact that this is the first of “a series of 43 romance novels” made me laugh lol! I can barely keep focused to read a trilogy, I can’t imagine how horrible I would do with 40+ books lol!

But anyways, Xzavi’s duel was pretty dramatic this time, but unfortunately he ended up losing! I really have to have him practice more with his magic.

And afterwards we took another trip to Moodwood Mill to try and get Vaughn his fangs and fur~

Saddly there was nobody at the pack’s bonfire, but Vaughn stayed there setting himself on fire dancing with the fire to pass time. We’ll see if Rory happens to drop by a little later.

While we waited, Xzavi spent some time at the bar hanging out with his fans, and now that we don’t need to be asked for selfies they are just raining on us lol! I gotta say that it’s pretty epic to have one of Xzavi in the space bunny costume posing with a werewolf Jacob Volkov lol.

Also, Chelsea was hanging out at the bar too, so of course I had to bring Feng to hang out with her girlfriend for a little while!

Saddly Rory never appeared and Vaughn even ended up napping sitting on those tires lol! Lou did come by the bonfire, but saddly I remember from my ISBI that he doesn’t have the cursed bite perk sooo… Next time maybe buddy?

For now, we’re back home to this little cutie~ Good I love Erick so much lol! It may be that I’m the youngest child in my family, but I usually vibe with the younger sims lol!

Since Xzavi has taken it to being a prick to our other younger kid, I’m adamant that he won’t do the same to Erick! They are spending time together! You’re gonna like your kids Xzavi! lol.

Iggy keeps just being a sweetheart btw, look at him, giving Drago a peptalk and everything!

You deserve better kid lol.

… Zufash… you’re not going to school! You graduated early and we haven’t gotten your letter from Uni!! WTH?! lol!!

I think I told her that it’s okey to not grow up until she needs too lol but seriously, what do you say in these situations? lol!

For now I just sent her to keep working on her aspiration. She just finished one tier of it and now there’s a trip to the museum in our future~

Hey, Aggy randomly decided to play the guitar! That’s great, I feel like it suits her!

I want to have her be an astronaut if she’s chosen heir, but musician could also be cool for her!

Zu and Ellen got to work on another mural! This one also looks pretty great. I honestly love all of them lol.

And meanwhile, Feng goes out for her first day in the soccer team! Good luck Feng!

I’m guessing she’s gonna do great, she already has a high Fitness skill from her cheerleading years.

Xzavi was spending time with Erick again and the Strict dynamic popped up lol I mean it’s not difficult, I’ll take it I guess.

Ugh, I seriously will never get enough of the toddler bathtime animations ❤ This makes me kinda miss when I used to bath my niece a couple years ago. That was always fun (and chaotic lol).

I also just can’t get enough from Erick ❤ Once he grows up I’m saving him to use in another challenge, he’s just too cute lol.

Feng came home from practice and since I told her to do her homework, she just plopped on the spot and took the book out lol! I always love it when sims do this. You would totally be more comfortable inside girl lol!

Iggy invited over her Elderberry friend (and I’m having a field trip calling her that because I remember elderberries being an insult in “Oh Sir!: The Insult simulator” lol!) and talking to her had him max the social skill!

+1

He celebrated by becoming Best friends forever, and I think this is one of the best pictures I have taken of that moment lol! Look at how done they both look lol!

The portraits wall for the generation has been updated! We added Zu, Aggy and Vaughn! +3~

Now we’re just missing Iggy once he grows up!

I had Erick grab a book for the milestone and it uncovered his last toddler quirk! This is still one of my favorites ❤ It’s so adorable!

At this point I was trying to keep picture count down because the update is getting suuuper long and I wanna make it to Iggy’s birthday, but stuff keeps happening lol! Like this: Xzavi went to fish to try and keep working on that collection, and he decided that he likes fishing! Good for Xzavi, that will be a pretty good hobby for when he retires.

Also, we had a thunderstorm and a lightning hit our monkey bars lol at least we’re not hurtning for money in this save.

I tried yet again to have Rory turn Vaughn, and we finally had a high enough relationship for it! Rory doesn’t look too please tho lol but we promise to be good packmates Rory!

… Again I gotta ask the game: WTH?!

Chelsea is a young adult and Feng already graduated high school, how can both of them be bitter about not getting a prom invite when neither of them are going to prom?!

I am annoyed lol! WTF?!

Vaughn: “So yeah, my arm is glowing because my werewolf friend Rory just bit me to turn me into one of them. It was kinda painful but I’m finally gonna get my fangs!”

Zu and Aggy: *Silently wondering when their brother got so weird*

lol.

Emm… I know Xzavi likes paparazzi and all that but… don you think that entering the house to take pictures of him teaching words to his toddler son is… just a little weird?

No? Just me?

…ok… #SimsLogic Am I right? lol

Astro! Buddy! Glad you could find our house to protect yourself from that thunderstorm lol I’m sorry you didn’t make it inside before gettting fried lol!

Also, I miss you ❤

Ah, and looks like it came the time for the double birthday I was waiting for! I can’t believe that Feng is already becoming a young adult! I honestly feel like this generation went by in a flash!

And just at the same time, our little Ingulf is ready to join his brothers in teenhood, right in time for the heirpoll!

Happy birthday to both my amazing kids~

And also, a final +5 for the chapter! Because Feng was able to grow up with 3 character values in range, so that’s a second aspiration completed for Ellen!

I don’t remember what I gaver next… maybe nothing still since we’re already finishing the chapter lol!

This is the last pic for today~ Our little Ingulf is all grown up and sporting the amazing grunge revival look, because I had just gotten the kit and I’m in love with the clothes lol this is just peak “what teenage Salem wanted to wear when she was a teen” lol!

But anyways~ Iggy is now Self-absorbed lol yeah, that’s right! I’m gonna blame this one on Xzavi, maybe it’s his response to being ignored and annoyed by his dad as a child? lol? He also has the Jungle explorer aspiration, taking after great-grandma Skylar on that!

And with this, we have made it to the possible end of this generation! If Feng ends up being chosen heiress we would be starting generation 5 next chapter! I still feel like this was soooo fast lol you guys probably didn’t feel it that way with my hiatuses lol.

But we’ll see about that, because for now it’s time for you to go and vote on our next leader! Head over to either the Boolprop Poll, the WordPress Poll, or both of them! And show some love to the kids~

The polls are gonna be open for around two weeks now, so don’t forget to vote! And as usual, have fun, take care, and happy simming!

Family Updates:

Little Alexis, Khal and Keisha’s youngest, as a toddler. She looks a lot like her brothers, she’s a cutie ❤

It’s hard to think that Astro’s kid is already a kid! But here we have our cousin Adam. He has very amazing hair!

He also, apparently, now has a little sister! I must have lost the notification for her adoption, but welcome to the family little Michaela! I just adore the little glasses ❤

Points so far: 591
