RBPV 6.8

[genlisae]

Soooo, I forgot that Preston and Amber were moving out when I started this round and have screwed up my numbering. Just pretend it was intentional when the next one is 6.9 k?



Also, it would appear Melanie WAS getting badges last round, I just wasn't paying attention. Her first bear was also the weird, broken, demented one with the uneven eyes. I have decided they are keeping it.



Kari is not lacking for attention.



She does, however, make some of the strangest faces while playing peek-a-boo.



I remembered to have them pay taxes! At the correct amount!



And the pond thawed! At the risk of jinxing myself, this round with the Channing house is going so well!



+1 to the Multiplier!



Woot! Playables everywehre (except the one garden club guy, I forgive him for taking up a customer slot). I also upgraded the store to be not a counter and a table on the lawn. Mind you this is a counter and a table in some walls, but they have a roof now.



Isiah did not come to shop. He made a bee-line for the pond and has been there for hours.



Oh! Reporter!



And she seems impressed.



Yay!!!

And OMG! Isiah is inside.



Where he spent the next several hours being pissy and rejecting all of Chesly's sales attempts.

Chesly: Isiah! Buddy! You have spent all night stealing my fish and throwing me negative stars! You want to make it right again don't you?

Isiah: I do! I really, really do!

Chesly: Imagine! You buy a tiny fish and take it home! Can you see it? Sparkling on the plate like the sparkly star you are going to give me when I make this sale?

Isiah: Oooooh! Shiny!

See, that's what we're talkin' about!

Kari's birthday. Of course the grandparents had to be invited.

Aww, she grew up in purple pants to match the house!

Kari: I like the demented bear.

Yes, I can see that. *backs away slowly from the child with the creepy stare".

Then she went fishing with her grandparents.

And Melanie and Chesly got to work on upping their score like Braden asked. (Don't think about that too long. It leads to bad places).

Naturally this meant they needed a bigger house. First house with a second floor!

Golden Trout! That is totally going on the wall in the shop.

Mitzi followed Kari home .. and she also has freckles!! I never noticed before.

Kari: I surrender! Please don't break my robot anymore!

Mitzi: I"ll steal your invisible newspaper too! Now stick 'em up!

O.o Cops and robbers has taken a very strange twist in this 'hood.

Baby bump! Plus a huge thank you to jeans_sim_memoirs for suggesting I get the "pregnant wear anything" mod (even though in theory I shouldn't have needed it due to custom EP). I has fixed the teen sims weird hair and clothes thing when expecting! Then I download some maxis default replacements with preg morphs and *poof!* all better.

Arron: Soooo much pressure!

Chesly: ... I just asked how Beka was doing ....

The shop got an upgrade along with the house. They have real displays now!

Paris! I was wondering when you would show up somewhere. Everyone else has except you.  Now give us that last star to make rank 5!

Paris: Hmmm. Perhaps I will. Have you seen the proprietor of this establishment? I find I have a pressing need for a stuffed bear.

Chesly: Stuffed bears are right this way sir.

Thank you, Paris! Paris is a recreation of the character from Romeo and Juliet bywinterinverona  He is totally in the gene pool and I am hoping he will toss me some blonde children when his time comes. All these brunets are getting to me.

Chesly: Noe! You're a family sim so I know you will have tons of babies! You will need a bear!

Arron, you don't need to cry. Chesly is on his way to restock it right now.

Melanie has graduated to making quilts mostly so they have something to hang on their walls while we wait for Nigel to unlock art.

Second bump! Now to commence the buying of random shit they will only be keeping for 24 hours so she doesn't go into aspiration failure when she ages up.

They might be keeping this random shit though. Kari loves the game system.

Melanie also made Chesly some new pajamas because I was getting really tired of seeing bathrobes. Why did everyone randomly get assigned a bath robe?

They are going hiking by the way. They all had the want to go, so this shot really does have a purpose.

The hike wore Kari out.

Gold badge! Which means so far this round the Changing house has managed to add 3 to the multiplier. Melanie seems to have taken her father's wish to win this challenge to heart.

O.O Maybe a little too much to heart.

Welcome to the challenge Colton and Claire.

Time for Melanie to join the ranks of adulthood.

And I really don't think she changed a bit except to get taller.

Those pants have to go though.

Arron, seriously. You can buy the fish after he has restocked it!

Have a shot of Colton getting a bath to end the week. Okay, no, what is really going on is he was stuck with the green stink cloud after his last diaper change and I though I would try the bath route before I broke out the batbox to get rid of it. It didn't work and I ended up using the batbox anyway.
