Round 5 - Sergeant

[deedee_sims]

Last time:
- The Sergeants had much fun with a games night and a successful sports party (which was more like a dance party)
- Cailin grew up to be a gorgeous teenager



Wow, that sounds interesting! They have to sell 12 pieces of furniture



Don't look at me like this Cailin! I fixed the color of your top!



Let's take a look at Vlad while he was learning new tricks



It was time to visit the Addiction Arcade!



Ah, you two!



Leonard is very convincing, his victim was the mayor, Wilbur Masterson
Gerald Banks: This guy knows something!



But you obviously don't know how to sing XD



Pillow fighting is a serious business in this family



Jasper the townie: I have a problem!
Emily: Dun-dun-dun...



Jasper: I have a problem!
Leonard: Oh, how can I help you!
That's how you should behave with customers, Emily!



Meanwhile...



The kids arranged a little gaming competition
Cailin: You can't beat me!



I think, she was wrong XD



Finley tried to practise the smustle dance that he learned from his classmate Emmett Masterson



And suddenly it was his birthday!



Look at that handsome young man!
Stats:

Family / Popularity - Sagittarius
+ Makeup, Custom hair
- Fitness
Traits: Hot Headed (Leonard) - Technology Lover (Emily) - Childish - Virtuoso
LTW: 20 Best Friends



Wow, something is happening here XD



Of course, he visited the Town Hall to buy handheld game



Kailand (by sunnyskysx): Gosh! A sparkling man! Help! Please don't attack me sir!



It seems like head witches are not always successful in making magic XD





Leonard seems enthusiastic XD



Cailin tried the grilled cheese talk again with Finley, hoping he's more mature now
Of course, she failed XD



Time to arrange that yard sale! They could sell some toys and stuff :)



Kailand: I really don't need that pink sofa, don't try to convince me!



Kiefer the reporter guy is always so acceptive!



Okay, he's too cute :3



Leonard had his first experience with the cash machine
Where is the enter button?



Brett Woods came home with Finley this day, and immediately started to check the furniture
I have to say this chair wouldn't fit the Woods house's color theme, but whatever. Maybe he's already thinking about moving out?



Finley helped his father to sell some stuff



Hard rock hallelujah



They managed to sell all of the stuff and this little yard sale reached Rank 2 somehow!
Every little perk comes in handy!



Later, Abigail (by lesyasun) visited them





Vlad is a beloved cat! :3



Cailin brought the evil head warlock home from work, what?



At least Abigail enjoyed his company







The next day, she visited the arcade. Well, I'm not sure it's safe to make such moves when you're so pregnant, dear! D:



Brittany Woods: I'm not interested!
Well, why are you here then?



I think it was a high c!



I think Gerald really loves this lot, he's always hanging around here!
But wait! He should be at school!



He started an impromptu smustle party with Darcy (by Poppet)



That later Brett joined, I think he had fun!



Leann Danielson came home with someone. I'm pretty sure she was visiting because of the cats :D



But later she showed some interest towards Finley too



I love still life pictures with cats, okay? :D



Finley: Oh, my, that's disgusting!
Well, I'm sure you'll do the same thing a few rounds later!



Cailin was so busy with work that she was behind with her homework



Okay, that's a nice way to get to know your children's classmates, Leonard XD





Why are you hiding here, wolf friend?



Leonard is surely improving his dancing skills!



That face is kinda scary O_o



Cailin called in sick that day



Because is was her birthday! Look how happy she was! :3



They grow up too fast *sheds a tear*



But look how beautiful she is! I think Emily hardly recognised her XD
Anyways, stats!

Romance / Grilled Cheese - Capricorn
+ Black hair, Hard worker
- Artistic
Traits: Supernatural Skeptic (Leonard) - Over Emotional (Emily) - Easily Impressed - Avant Garde - Frugal
LTW: Professional Party Guest



Her first trip was to the wonderful Botanical Garden!



First try: Hugh the garden club guy = failure



It seems like he's in someone else



Next try: Caleb (by Poppet). They have... drums...
3 BOLTS!!!



He was even interested in the grilled cheese talk! The search is over!



Unsavory Charlatan: Are they seriously talking about grilled cheese?



And he was in the pillow fighting also!
Okay, he passed every single test! :D



While Finley rolled a want for a toymaking bench!



And stared practising immediately!



Morning mother and daughter dance :)



Leann is everywhere!



And smustling is also everywhere!



Does this count as a pregnancy gymnastics?



Another singer volunteer



Yay!



What did I say about Leann?



Rachel Banks also came over. They share a bolt with Finley!





Finely! Are you seriously gossiping about her twin brother? XD



Leonard was smustling with poker face XD



What?



Later, Cailin asked Caleb on a date!



Aww :3



I'm pretty sure Rachel thinks Finley is too young for her



Vlad: I. Want. Food.



Caleb also likes Vlad! But who doesn't?





What are you doing here?
Vlad: I noticed there's a hole in the blanket!



They didn't waste too much time and moved to the fun part :D



Vlad: Why are you hugging each other? Hug me instead!



And that's all. In the end of the round Cailin moved out with a very small amount of money (I have no idea how will she furnish her new home...)
Anyways, the tax was 4700 simoleons

---
- It's a bit unusual for me that kids grow up so fast! I used to play with the original lifespan for many years, and just changed the teen days for 8 which is about the half of the original. But I think it's more realistic :)
- I still don't know who'll inherit the arcade... I thought about Finley, but he seems to be more interested in making toys. Well, we'll see!
- Funny that Cailin also hooked up with a sim by Poppet. But three bolts are three bolts, I can't do anything. Not that I'd like to do something, because her sims are awesome :3
- As always, thank you for reading! :D

The lurker dog! It made me laugh :D It appeared in my game just yesterday. I'm sure it's the same white dog with blue eyes :D So funny!

I enjoy Arcade business so much. They are constantly dancing and fighting with pillows. It's much more interesting than staying behind the cash desk :)

Cailin as an adult is so pretty. They made a nice couple with Caleb. Three bolts is such a rare thing for my game. I'm veeeery happy for them ;)

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

Hehe, first it was lurking through the door in both of our games, than appears again XD
I'm glad you enjoy the arcade! I enjoy it too! Well, not the karaoke thing, because the townies have awful voices, uh :P
I was surprised that they have three bolts, but I was also happy about it! It's indeed a rare thing! :D

[hurricanetaylor.livejournal.com]

What!! You have a second gen adult already?! Cailin is a gorgeous adult and I'm sure that if she ends up with Caleb they'll have adorable babies together.

Your sims are all so cute though. I'm sure she'll have adorable babies with anyone :D

It's funny that you and Lesya always seem to have lurker wolves

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's kinda surprising, isn't it! They grow up so fast! But I'm looking forward to play with her and Caleb! :D
Ah, thank you! :3
Heh, it seems like this wolf is haunting our games XD

[scribal-goddess.livejournal.com]

Finley grew up extremely cute. It's the freckles, I think.

... Hopefully Cailin's good at digging. Or maybe Caleb is one of those mythical rich townies. :D

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Finley is surely a handsome teen! I think he takes after his father :)
I also have high hopes in Caleb's inventory :P

[scribal-goddess.livejournal.com]

Caleb's probably got quite a bit of stuff from playable shops.

Ha, this household is so great. Every time I read one of your updates I think, "Oh this family is my favourite," and then I read another and it's, "Nope, definitely this family." I just love them all! :D And I like their house too. The pink works so well for them. And Vlad, aw Vlad. :) Poor Finley looks a little lost in the last picture? Moody teenager? Ah well, kid, now with Cailin out of the house, you'll have your time in the spotlight!

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't have a favorite family, they're all unique, and I really like to play all of them! And I'm happy you like them too :D
Maybe Finley got enough of Cailin's grilled cheese talk XD So he might be happy that she moved out :P

[selahgio.livejournal.com]

Oh wow Cailin's birthday has already came around! O_O Finley having a toy store sounds great. In every one of my towns I love for there to be a toy store D: Or a pet store. Both really. :) God I can't wait to see your next around!

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

Yes, they grow up so fast! Oh, I love toy stores and pet stores too! I'm glad you enjoy the updates :D

[sunnyskysx.livejournal.com]

Emily and Leonard tug on my heartstrings every time I see them. Favorite couple ever! ♥____♥

Haha, Gerald is getting down on the karaoke machine! Did Finley ever get the smustle down before aging up? xD He grew up handsomely, and is a good mix of both his parents! Cailin is stunning! The neighborhood is progressing so quickly. Slow down for a sec! :(

Something needs to happen to Kailand at this point, LOL. That witch should have a spell on him!

Love the idea of a yard sale! That's a great way for Sims to earn a lil' extra cash, plus it makes the game seem more realistic, haha.

This was such a fun update! Great read, as always! ^_^

[deedee-sims.livejournal.com]

I love them too, the gamer couple, always around each other :3

Yes, the kids are growing up so quickly! I slowly get used to the short teen life stage: I always used the maxis lifespan before, but for Griffinmere I changed it to 8 days, which is a bit quick. But I like it in the end :D

Hehe, Kailand is indeed an interesting addition to the town story XD

Thank you! I should arrange yard sales more often (not just when the ROS says) :)

I'm glad you enjoyed this update :3
