RBPV 4.0

[genlisae]

I need to update this cover pic, but totally spaced on taking progress pics. Next round!

Last week the the Harrell team finished with a score of 18, Alexander got his gold toy badge, the kids grew and Rosica purchased a community lot for her business.



This is the community lot she purchased. Impressive isn't it? :P

The older boys got pressed into helping and it didn't take long to get enough business perks to build an actual store though.

 
See, real walls and counters and displays and stuff. (Also couches for napping and a coffee machine and a mini fridge, but I didn't get pics of those) just in time to get rank 5!

I know, I know, my building creativity is astounding! :P

On the other hand this is not a box, it is a rectangle ... and lilac.

There was more than enough left over from building the store to upgrade the house as well.

And I do mean upgrade. The boys don't have to sleep on a line of beds taking up the whole living room anymore! Yay!

Psst! Look what I remembered! Shocking yes?

Dominick (the one on the left in blue) rolled Business Owner for a career (and will be inheriting from his mother, though still free to start new businesses) and will not be getting married. Darius will be getting married and rolled up one of the brand new options in my career chart. I never did explain the career roll changes did I? Well then.

On a d20 (this page) the new career options are as follows:

1 - Job from the unlocked list
2 - Business Owner
3 - Farmer
4 - Fisher
5 - Sewing
6 - Florist
7- Robotics
8 - Pottery
9 - Mechanic
10 - Toy Maker
11 - Artist
12 - Novelist
13 - Unemployed
14 - Inherit from parent (roll a d2 to decide which parent)
15 - 17 Unlock a new career
18 -  20 Job from unlocked list

The reasons for the changes being that while playing through Binky's Bend it got to the point where I was like "How many damn Florists can I possibly need????" I will probably change these again because there will come a point when all the careers are unlocked.

Darius will be unlocking Politics for me, because that is what his LTW is for.

Oh goody, Dominck (on the left in the studded leather) got the same skin Isiah did which apprears to be some sort of left over anomaly in my saved sims folder (which I got back from my child and then cleaned out, or thought I cleaned out)... and I really don't think I like it.

Remember when they were little and Arron and Isiah were all "Awww! Hugs!" all the time?

Yeah, I donno what happened, Isiah has turned into a dick.

Okay, yeah, I officially hate this skin. I can't decide if it looks more like a really bad perma-sunburn or drunk.

Redhands and Rock, Paper, Scissors before school. Sometimes I think this is what they do at school as well.

And this is what they do after school because they can keep any cash they take with them from home.

Alexander: Flowers,  Pregnant Nun Lady, flowers. Babies love flowers or maybe a slightly crooked plate? A broken toy robot perhaps?

Rank 7! And  a random corner of the building ... outside ... at night ... because why not?

After spending like a week at the business I thought Alexander and Rosica could use a date.

I really should nave sent them somewhere without a bed! Bonus for not twins though.


Time to meet the future Harrells!

On the left getting to know Arron, her husband-to-be, is Rebeka Lawson burrowed fromremisims.  On the right introducing herself to Darius (still in his jammies), her future spouse, is Byrony (who shall henceforth mostly be called Bree, it is way easier to type for keyboard tripping fingers) on loan fromamochan8878 .

Arron: Mom, I totally have 5 best friends now!

Rosica: Wonderful. Alexander, he's talking with his mouth full. He gets that from you.

Time to have the future couples go on a first date ... because I am horrible and hate relationship building and dates are easy.

Why does this always look like they are asking for a lot more than just a date?

Darius and Bree start off with a pillow fight ... and Bree promptly changed into her bathrobe ... O.o ... I think I need to read those patch notes again.

I have no idea what they just did, but it seems to have worked.

Aspiration points all around. Okay even I have to admit double dating in your parent's living room while you twin brothers play rock, paper, scissors might just be a bit weird.

Obviously not weird enough to prevent Arron from scoring his first kiss though.

Bree is proving much more difficult. Thanks Bree, I really appreciate the extra work.

Meanwhile, Arron goes to make the whole betrothal official.

It totally worked.

For a ton of aspiration on both sides.

Rebeka is a finger gunner!

Bet you can't guess where she's headed though ...

I admit it. I looked at Arron's expression and giggled for about 5 minutes straight.

Oh oh! Crush hearts in the livingroom!

And Darius also gets his first kiss!

Things are going much better for these two. A little harmless flirting and ...

I spoke too soon.

Bree! Give me a break here! Okay so he's a little weird but is totally destined to have a highly successful career in Politics ... oh ...

In Bree's home world ofelvenglade Politics are .. not a good thing.

Over at the date which is going well, Arron and Rebeka get their demented purple hearts.

Bree likes hugs!

Ending what turned into a dream date for Arron and Rebeka.

O.O Bree seems to be the "Lets just cut the crap and get to it" type. Flirts are bad but this is perfectly okay.

Backrubs are also always acceptable, even if it is in the crafting room.

Dream date and red hearts!

Now to send her home before he tries flirting again ... maybe Darius is just really bad at flirting.

And these two are STILL playing redhands.

I am fairly certain Rosica will have time to repair that relationship ... also baby bump, but really is that news around here anymore?

First time I have ever had a sim check out the weather forecast. Yes, I do fail. A lot.

Quiet Sunday afternoon.

And those would be the notifications that it is time for Arron and Isiah to move out.

Yeah, yeah, baby bump. Get up and say goodbye to your oldest children.

He almost looks sad about it doesn't he?

Arron is off.

And Isiah follows. They will be moving together to a house across the street next rotation.

Finishing off the week with ... whatever is going on here. I don't even know.

With the rank 5 business adding one more to the sim multiplier the Harrell side finishes out the week with a score of 24.
