Mr Blue SkyWell it's been forever, Christmas did get in the way and Gzifa's last pregnancy resulted in twins
Please welcome Ophelia and Odiyah Sotelo, the last babies that will be born into this family.
Toddlers Ophelia and Odiyah having lunch on the sofa, Odiyah is the one with the cc hair pointing to Ophelia. They both aged up as Happy Toddlers with 2 of their main skills at 5 and the other 2 at 4. I found it hard work juggling 4 adults (2 with jobs), 2 children and 2 toddlers as the children and toddlers needed a lot of skilling imput. Thankfully Gzifa and Seiji have both maxed parenting and eventually gained the Super Parent trait but I could only play in short bursts for a while.
I placed a photo studio on an empty lot to see what kind of group photo's I could get. I was a bit disappointed that you could only get pics of single or pairs of sims but I like these ones of the kids. Ninian aged up with red hair to replace his cc toddler style, and Odiyah gained brown locks in the same style as her sister. I think I have changed the girls wardrobes since this photo but Ophelia is still mainly pink, while Odiyah has gone more purple (to match her bow).
If you re-read the previous post then you know I was wondering about vampire genetics. I thought it was quite interesting that out of the six kids born to Gzifa and Seiji, its a 50/50 split. Lucilla and Latifa, their 1st born twins are both human, Madhukar is vampire, as is Ninian. Ophelia and Odiyah have given them 1 of each as Ophelia is human and Odiyah a vampire.
Mr Blue Sky hid away for quite some time in this challenge, and I made a room for some of the 'outdoor' activities to happen in.
Eventually Keilani managed to max her career
and now we can play outside under the blue sky. The strange brown box by the water slide is the working beehive created by icemunmun. I don't do much with it but I like having the bees buzzing around.
I made a small graveyard in the corner and got the plant sim tree stump out of Gzifa's inventory.
Keilani moved out the join her siblings in a neighbouring house and we decided to pull in a teen as the one move in for this generation so we can clear Barista.
Both Gzifa and Lucilla befriended Sophia Bjergsen but the 'Ask to move in' interaction doesn't appear for a teen.
A quick consultation with the founder resulted in Lucilla taking Sophia home and asking Clara for permission to let her move in.
Thankfully Clara was quite happy with the idea and Sophia joined the household, using the same techique that got Travis in as Avani's husband.
At this point we discovered that Sophia had a bubbling age bar, but as Pinstar said Potions of Youth could be used, Seiji spent some of his 23 000 satisfaction points and all is good. While he was at it, he bought another one for Gzifa who is 1 day from her elder birthday. I did debate oshizu's 'vamp for a day' technique to reset her age but potions seemed less hassle.
So there we are, 2 non-working Adults using vacation days, teaching skills and tending needs, 1 working Young Adult nearly level 8 Patron of the Arts, 1 working Teen starting Barista, and 4 Children at various stages of child aspirations and parenthood traits.
I found some more screenshots that I've not used yet, random photo's follow, out of order and just because.
I love the animation when a vamp wins a sparring match, especially when the vamp is one of my favourite sims.
Ninian getting homework help from his grandma Etsuko
One of the rare occasions when more than 1 sim sat down to eat at the same table. This is Gzifa, Madhukar and Ninian.
Madhukar and Ninian going to school, I suspect this is Ninian's first day.
Madhukar and Ninian trying to make friends and level motor skill. It didn't really work.
