Round 12 - Banks

[deedee_sims]

Last time:
- Spot, the cat joined the family
- Linette became a toddler
- Horace was popular among his schoolmates



*shrugs* That's nice



Rainy day!



Whiskers joined the family earlied this round!
They got him from the Kinsley-Danielsons



Spot is still around!



Just like Spot, Whiskers is not a huge fan of modern technology either



It doesn't stop Horace from loving him!



Linette is cute as well :)



Fredrick Saunders walked by, and Horace greeted him eagerly



Marly continued producing her pottery



Horace was losing



And they talked about alien abductions (is that a mod I downloaded? I honestly don't remember XD)



They continued with the usual date activity pillow fighting



Later that day, it was Lin's birthday!



Some Bankses were invited for the celebrations
(pictured: Olivia, Carla, and Diana)



Oh, yes, Horace had his birthday as well!
Carla: Why do I have so many cousins?



Here we have Linette!
Her new trait is Hydrophobic



And there's Horace!
(yes, Gerald was also invited)

Fortune / Romance - Cancer
+ Fatness, Servo
- Unemployment
Traits: Snob (Marly) - Cat Lover (Aubrey) - Adventurous - Born Salesperson
LTW: World Class Ballet Dancer



There was...



... a spouse lifting competition as well



Linette's bedroom got updated a bit, but it's tiny, and in the basement, so this is the only picture I could take of it lol



Obviously, Horace went shopping to the ElectroMart



Cellphone, obtained!



Sierra was present as well, and found her cousin cool :)



Carla (and her zits) was happy to answer Lin's questions about school



Cutie



Carla was also happy about the cats









Allright, it was time to visit the Griffinmere Public School!
I could hardly squeeze in all the students lol



Lydia Kinsley: Ugh, I messed up!
Carla and Errol Sergeant: What's the right answer then?



Sherwood Kinsley-Danielson: What, she's not studying? Is she the privileged kid?
Sandra Masterson: I'm supposed to be the privileged kid!



Fred: Could you help? I'm new here!
Tracey Cinderford: Me too!
Brooklyn Hadaway: I've been here before, but I have no idea either.



Every teen: Was this enough, teacher Banks?



At least someone enjoyed school
Randell Kinsley-Danielson: Wow, such a cool class!



Allen Cinderford: You haven't checked your mom's notes by any chance?



That was when the class ended, and the kids went rampant



Lyndsey Blondie: No violence here, please!



The Novak teens, Frida and Newt were just chillin



There were some book nerds (Addison Novak and Gresham Danielson-Novak)
Addison is a half-aunt of Gresham lol (and this took me way too much time to figure out)



Douglas Masterson: You grew up so well, Kelly!
Kelly Cinderford: Why, thank you!



Doug: Your head is the perfect shape for noogies!
Kelly: Ack!



Mina Sergeant: Are they talking about me? While I'm sitting in front of them?



That's a big bite, Sherwood!



Mina: I can't wait the next math class!
April Woods: Nerd.



Kelly: Nooo, stop, why me?
Tiffany Favreau: Has anyone told you that your head is the perfect shape for noogies?



Then kids started complaining about their own empty plates
Horace: I'm just a student like you, huh



Meanwhile



Marly hugged the cats and was practicing pottery



Homework time!



No A+ for Lin (yet)



But she brought home Sherwood from school



Spot: Is that for me?



They became friends!



Then it was homework time for her as well



Stop, that's creepy



It worked, though





(no chymes)



Everyone loves fireflies!





Family breakfast



It was time to visit Marly's business, The Elephant Lady



She needed to hire another employee, because Bethany Hawk quit earlier
Errol ended up having the weirdest face glitch lol



Percy, the townie was eager to buy some pottery



Godric Saunders (by Voleste) was lost



Here's the proof that I fixed Errol's face



Marly: Are you sure you're buying?



Well, Dustin, the townie didn't



Yay for more money!



Marly: Wait... are you buying then?



Seth Goodie: *sigh* Why is everything so expensive here?
Stop coming to shops when you don't have money!



Lin finally got her A+!
(No one was home to cheer for her though)



And Horace was gussying up!
(and this was when I noticed that the reflections became super smooth since I changed the edge smoothing to the nvidia one. Awesome!)



He invited over April Woods for a date!
They have two bolts? Or one bolt? Whatever, they have some bolts



Usual date activity was present here as well



But I think that was more effective :)



<3



Then she rolled this want...



April: Where are your hands?
Horace: Uh?



April: No inappropriate touching!



They settled for some gaming then
(it wasn't a good date)



Horace bought Lin a toy, back at the ElectroMart (and I managed to remember to put it down)



Slow dancing was definitely more effective for these two!



Told you



Here's a proof that I actually downloaded defaults for this uniform



Yoga cat!



Lin brought home Fred from school
(he seems to be very interested in this family)





Lin: Ugh, mom, you're gross!



More pictures of Whiskers, because just



Lin: You're cheating!



Horace really wanted to go on a date, but none of the girls wanted to, poor thing XD



He also failed in pottery



Next day, while everyone was at school/work, Marly treated herself at the Fashion Fever!



She got a new top!
Zoey Lumber: Wow, cool!



She also visited the Pixel Pets



To get some collars for the cats
(Hi, Velma!)



Horace brought home his arch enemy classmate, Newt



He was more interested in Spot, though



Aubrey brought home her only co-worker, Evander Kinsley-Danielson
I think he was already bored of her lol



And here we had the family gaming afternoon!
The Bankses and Sergeants were invited over!



I'm not sure that's entirely professional, Evander
Diana: Help



Cousin Mina had some bonding time with Horace



Some pottery were sold to family members for a discount price (featuring Finley Sergeant)





This is still creepy



I swear, he's only here for the free porn



Anyway, that's all! The tax was 13.400, and they donated 30.000 for the university

---
- I promise Evander was present at the school, he just didn't make it to the pictures lol
- I'm really thinking about splitting up the school to elementary and high school, because I really can't process all the happenings with that many kids lol. But I think we'll be able to survive one more round with only one school.
- Horace has some bolts with a couple of girls (mostly Frida, who's dating his cousin, Errol, so idk what will happen)
- It's a bit frustrating that despite practicing pottery all day every day, Marly still doesn't have the gold talent badge. Whyyyy
- Thank you for reading! :)
