Round 12 - Sergeant-Hawk

[deedee_sims]

Last time:
- Cailin cured herself from witchiness
- The family got a chinchilla, Chili, who was kinda neglected, poor thing
- Moon gave birth to a kitten, who was adopted by Ian, shortly
- Bethany became an adult and moved out



It rolled for Caleb (by Poppet)
They have a piano anyway





The round started with some grilled cheese talk, as usual



Oh, and the family got Biscuit from the Mastersons earlier this rotation!



He and Forrest wasn't a fan of each other, though



Fanny: Uh, grilled cheese again?



Caleb: But I like it!



Fanny: Mom, I'd like to say something.
...
Mom, seriously



Moon became an elderly cat!



Wooing never gets old, though!



Fanny and Forrest enjoyed a movie



And Caleb started practicing his piano thing



Finley and Rachel Sergeant visited!
They were all lovey-dovey as always!



And yes, there was a reason for them to visit!
Charlie Sergeant and Bethany were also there



It was Caleb's birthday btw!



And there we have our elderly man!



The pillow fighting custom lives!



Ian tried to convince Bethany about the benefits of recycling
She wasn't very interested



It didn't work for Caleb and Rachel neither



Poor Chili





*_*



Next day also started with some grilled cheese talk



Biscuit: Gotta catch them all, fingers!



It was a workday at the Finest Grilled Cheese!



Ex employee Berenice Favreau was the first customer of the day!



Emmett Masterson: I'm just looking for my son!



Well, there he is!
Douglas Masterson: Uhh



It's been a while since we saw Yellow, the garden club lady!



Stephen, the townie was enchanted, though!
Emmett: Do you need help, Doug?
Douglas: Uhh



Meanwhile



Fanny was happy to come home!



And she immediately called for sick
It was her birthday afterall!



Some of her friends (and more than friends) visited due to this occasion



Cousin Errol Sergeant and Lydia Kinsley were there too
They chose an interesting topic there



Well, Jude Kinsley-Danielson wasn't invited, but he came anyway
And wasn't happy about it
Why did you come then?



But Fanny was indeed happy about her birthday!





And there she is, our Caleb clone!

Knowledge / Fortune - Aries
+ Gray hair, Blond hair
- Mechanical
Traits: Commitment Issues (Caleb) - Over Emotional (Cailin) - Loves the Outdoors - Frugal - Hydrophobic
LTW: Hand of Poseidon
(a hydrophobic hand of poseidon lol)



Carla Banks and her zits decided to make the best party ever!



Finley: Boo, that's lame





Forrest: Paint me like one of your french cats!







Moon: Touch me, touch you



Fanny went to work this time



And Cailin went to grocery shopping at the Fresh Food Mini Market!



Valerie, the townie is getting worse here



She also visited the Gel & Hairspray!



To get a birthday haircut!
Levi Masterson: It's not fair that they only messed it up for me
(you weren't the only one, but whatever)



Our official Velma sighting: check!



Meanwhile Caleb was busy with his piano practice
He's getting quite good!



Biscuit: Can I get sum too?



Forrest: Miiiine



Caleb: I'm getting old, my knees!



As I mentioned, it was Cailin's birthday!
Yvette Sergeant: Tooooot!
Finley: Gosh, daughter, into my ear?



Everyone was excited!
(except Ian)



And here's our lovely, elderly, overlightened Cailin!
It's strange to see her as an elder! The first inborn baby! *sobs*



Cookie and Chips time for the Sergeants



Well, Biscuit is sweet too :)



I had no idea what's wrong with her, but then I realized she's a hydrophobic XD



She's spying on the stars now, instead of her neighbors



Biscuit: I want screentime!





I guess Cailin was quite surprised by this offer



New day, old business: Addiction Arcade!



Um, Aubrey Banks, shouldn't you be at school, teaching the kids?



Caleb, no



Mae (by Slyndsey) enjoyed karaoke, maybe a bit too much



And others, like Helena, the townie, enjoyed smustling



As well as Robert Hadaway and Hugh, the garden club guy



It's been a while since I've seen duets, but it's so cute <3



Caleb put in all his emotions





Zoey Lumber: Uh, Jack, what about helping me instead?



Some were complaining, though



Zoey ended up singing alone



Meanwhile Forrest and Biscuit got into a fight



:(



Fanny finally brought home someone from work, who turned out to be Valerie



And after like 4 days, finally someone cared about poor Chili



Fanny visited the Birch Park that night!



Where she met Percy, the townie
They share 2 bolts!



Fanny looked invested



Percy: I have to admit, her brother is kinda hot too



Seth Goodie: Guys, get a room



Forrest: What's that lil green cloud?



The cats had another fight *sigh*





Cailin and Caleb had a day for themselves!





Cailin: This is the greatest food, right here!



At least Moon is not into fights





Headshot!



Fanny tried to teach some tricks to Moon



I found some sparklers in their inventory, so I decided to try it!
(I only ended up with the holiday stuff when I reinstalled my game last year, so I've never tried these!)



It's kinda cute, though :)



And that's it for now! The tax was 4200 simoleons

---
- As I said, it's a weird thing to see Cailin as an elder. But it's also kind of exciting!
- Fanny doesn't seem very invested in that Percy thing in the end. She has commitment issues afterall!
- I don't know what should I do with the cats. Maybe I gift Biscuit to someone next round, to stop the fights
- Thank you for reading! :)

This was so much fun to read! Poor cats. Happy Grilled Cheese days (and probably nights). 😊

[deedee_sims]

Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cailin is the mother of all the grilled cheeses :D

Aw, first little one of the game has hit her elder years. :( It's kind of bitter-sweet. On the one hand, she was the first one born in-game, but on the other, it's a sign of how far the town has come.

I feel you on the cats. I think my game produces really fight-happy cats. I've never had two get along unless I made them in CAS as Cowards. I used to wonder if it was a glitch, but it's led me to having never had non-cheated in-born game kittens. Puppies I can get, but cats... my cats just will not get along long enough for their relationship to be high enough. The closest I got was my Legacy family, in which generous use to the Aspiration pet bowl to extend their lives got me one single kitten before they went back to constantly hating each other... and then my computer crashed and I forgot to snag the pets when moving the back-ups over.

But I'm really excited to see Franny's dating adventures. As well as giggling over her fear of water combined with her LTW. She's just full of conflictions.

[deedee_sims]

Exactly! I'm used to generational gameplay and aging, but it still feels a bit weird in this town!
Interesting! Sometimes my cats fight for a bit, then start to get along better. I really haven't noticed a pattern. Weird XD But Forrest and Biscuit are very much in the negatives here, so I don't have much hope for recovery.
Haha, Fanny has no idea about her life, and I also don't know what to do with her yet XD We'll see, I guess! :D

Cailin looks cute as an elder and that hairstyle really suits her. :)
I wonder how things go for Fanny. Maybe something will happen via ACR during other households playthrough. :)

[deedee_sims]

It was about time for a Cailin hair-change! She had the previous one for about forever :D
Ah, yes, ACR can always cause us surprises :P
