deedee_sims | Round 4

Last time:
- Gaston was busy making money, while Cornelia took care of the kids
- She gave birth to a baby girl, Aubrey
- Due to ROS, they applied for a membership to the garden club

So much money!!! 250.000 simoleons to be exact O_o
What to do with all of this fortune?
Also this round will be romantic for Cornelia and Gaston, with 4 dates!

So they got some new furniture and stuff

I still love Rachel and Gerald :D

Gaston visited the Book Nook just for sure, and sold some books to Natalie Danielson

Mae (by

slyndsey) is still working there as a cashier. Her performance is questionable, but I forgive her, because she's so pretty ^^

However Isaac (also by Slyndsey) wasn't impressed by the books

But he thought, Gaston is a cool person. Well, okay, you know XD

Abigail (by

lesyasun) happily bought some novels :)

Meanwhile Cornelia took care of little Aubrey

And the garden

The twins came home with A+ performances!

But they had to do their homework to keep up these grades

And Aubrey's birthday arrived! Look how cute her face is :3

I think, she looks a lot like Rachel (maybe I forgot to roll the pacifier?)
Anyways, her stats:
Libra
Traits: Friendly (Gaston) - Cat Lover (Cornelia)

That's a really romantic place for dating, especially the broken sink in the background!

Cutie :3

The twins played a lot with each other :)

Well, okay XD

Their next date was more meaningful

Cornelia sold the bland lemons. Hi, Gnoah!

The twins came home with Tristan Woods and Emmett Masterson from school :D

Aww :3

Lesya, the magic lurker dog from your game visited my game XD

Gaston started working on a new novel!

The kids were busy making drawings

And Aubrey was busy being incredibly cute!

Sleepy faces :)

That was rude!

I'm innocent, sis!

Cornelia, I'm pretty sure, you sent this letter XD

Brett Woods came there next day :)

And it was the twins' birthday! Firstly Gerald

Then Rachel

Everyone was overexcited. Gaston tear the curtain from excitement XD

Annd, here's Gerald and his stats:

Knowledge / Family - Gemini
+ Makeup, Fitness
- Witchiness
Traits: Slob (Gaston) - Color Blind (Cornelia) - Ambitious - Bookworm

And here's the pretty Rachel!

Knowledge / Romance - Libra
+ Fitness, Glasses
- Facial hair
Traits: Slob (Gaston) - Cat Lover (Cornelia) - Eccentric - Mature

Both of their LTW is to become a Media Magnate, just like their father. Everyone in this family wants to become a freakin media magnate? Meh, that's boring.
Oh, and they're both straight (maybe I'll tweak the odds on ACR)

Finally the twins could take care of Aubrey

So their parents had some time alone together :)

The date series continued

I think, you're late, Rachel XD

Woo, my sister just peed herself!

However, Aubrey didn't like the diaper change. You caused this little girl!

It was their 3rd good date :)

What a huge hand you have!

More work! I still love this building <3

Mae got a raise, because she's ~~so pretty~~ a good employee!

The dazzling continued! I think, Wilbur Masterson had been convinced

An update wouldn't be a full update without some Velma the creepy townie girl XD

Aww, look how cute Niko (by Poppet) is! I just can't wait to play him in the next rotation! :3

And the business was thriving!

Davey <3

At home...

Gerald: Noo, I can't look!
Rachel: Meh, this program is boring...

Who's the most handsome teen guy in the whole town?
Just sayin' you're the only guy XD

The twins went to the Town Hall to buy some cellphones and stuff
(also: these game cases are not simlish! Shame on you Eaxis O_o)

Rachel: Here you are!
Not for me! Give the money for the cashier please!

Peek-a-boo :3

Sibling love XD

Gaston finished a very romantic novel

Nice! Not like they're having 260.000 simoleons, but still XD

Gerald eagerly read the new novel
What are you talking about? You commanded me to read this crap!

Finally, Cornelia and Gaston could go somewhere else on date - which was the Addiction Arcade

Gaston had some interesting dance moves XD

Then he got distracted by the game machine. Guys...

And Cornelia is still a horrible singer XD

Meanwhile the twins took care of their sister

And put their head in the trash compactor XD

Later, it was Aubrey's next birthday!

She still looks a lot like Rachel.
Anyways, her new trait is Clumsy

Gosh, mum, dad, that's gross!

A random picture of Gerald, just to see his face :3

In the end of the round, Aubrey's room has been upgraded

Have a nice family picture!
In the end, they donated 150.000 simoleons to the town, and the tax was 14000 simoleons

---
- So! Now the town has plenty of money, which means more community lots in the next rotation! I already have plans :D
- I seriously have no idea what to do with that many media magnates XD One of them will inherit the bookstore, but the other one... Maybe I'll just ignore it and take their traits into consideration
- But now they have enough money to start new businesses for the twins!
- Thank you for reading! :3

Ahaha the lurker dog :DDD I am laughing aloud seriously :D I was also very happy when my sims became teens and could take care of little ones, such a relief :D Aubrey's room is so pretty, it makes me want to decorate something in red color :)

I immediately thought about you when I saw the dog there XD
Oh, yes, teens are very useful! Actually I'm quite used to have some elders here and there, and it's a bit strange that they have to raise the kids by themselves :)
Thank you :3

It's probably the hair, but Gerald looks a lot like his dad to me. I kept mixing them up!

Sounds like the family needs to open up a newspaper shop. :P When I get all the same LTWs like that, I just reroll them unashamedly with the batbox. Criminal Mastermind and Sports Star show up waaaaaay too often for me.

Speaking of the batbox, do you know about the "Fix...Rerandomize Sim Generator" option? It's the same as rolling the pacifier, except you don't have to go into CAS to do it. Just save before the baby's born (or as it's being born), click the option, and it'll randomize so you don't get clones. It does exit to neighbourhood view without saving, so make sure you save, but I use it all the time. It's become habit. :)

Not that I can tell if Rachel and Aubrey are clones, that is. The eyes look different to me, but I could be wrong. I'm so bad at genetics...

Anyway, another great update! So many fun faces. :D

Heh, it's funny, because I think, Gerald is more like his mother, while Rachel is more like her father(?) But I'm also bad at genetics, so XD

Yeah, I think, I will reroll someone's LTW... And I always use the batbox option for rerolling genetics - if I don't forget it XD And I keep forgetting it, because I'm always overexcited about babies :D

You made me curious about the girls' similarities, so I quickly extracted them, and you're right: they have different eyes and chin. And just noticed how similar Cornelia and Gaston is! That's the root of these problems!

Thank you! :3

Ha, yeah, I figured you already knew about the batbox for genetics--it's pretty well known--but just thought I'd make sure! I know what you mean about getting excited about babies too...so do I! :D

The challenges for this round were awesome!

I loved seeing Gaston and Cornelia being all "lovey-dovey" (and not so much) on their dates and all of the photos of the children interacting with one another really made me smile. All of that money went to good use, and the house looks great!

Kind of late to the party, but all of the children grew up so wonderfully. Such a beautiful family! Woo hoo!

Oh, I agree! (especially the lottery prize :P)

Thank you! I love seeing the family bonding activities! I'm glad you like the expanded house! I love this color theme so much :3

Better late than never! Thank you for the comment! :D

Rachel is absolutely stunning! I want to pinch her cheeks so bad!

(Sorry for doing this again); where did you get the posters in Aubrey's room? And if you could shower me with some decorating tips that'd be awesome because your decorating is to die for! I'm so bad at it.

Oh, I love Rachel so much :3 But all her siblings are cute too :D

One of the posters is a recolor by Poppet (seriously, she makes the cutest recolors):
http://poppet-sims.tumblr.com/post/81916300854
The other one is by Shasta, I went through her simblr and LJ but I couldn't find it, sorry D: It's a recolor of the IKEA Pjatteryd picture

Aw, I'm glad you like my decorating! Well, I don't have many tips, I usually get inspiration from other simmers's decorating. I usually choose 1 or 2 colors for each house, and a neutral or wood color, and I try to decorate the house according to these colors. And I put a cute decorative thing here and there, and lots of plants, and basically, that's all :D
