Princess Kari is doing so well! She's got the hired help tending to the children, making food (or ordering her pizza), and tending to the general cleanliness and order of the household so that she can put her full attention into being effortlessly lovely ;=)
Loving to see my gal Paize being such a great help yet so charmingly goofy. It will be sad to lose Ramiro (and Bull eventually), but at least the kiddos will hit childhood and be more independent at that point. He's been there for the moments when he was most needed, and that's pretty excellent.
Looking forward to seeing how very lovely young Virtua is as a child and then teen. Such an awesome gene pool, so she'll obviously be lovely!
@PeregrineTook Haha, you are so optimistic! I mostly leave her downstairs now since she never helps with anything, anyway.
Paize has turned out to be a great sim. Now that she has Never Weary, she's pretty much fine all the time.
Ramiro's an active sim and will probably outlive Bull despite being 10 days older.
Speaking of gene pool, Guaca is nowhere near as handsome as his fathers. I hope Virtua's genes skip a generation or two and descend from Iconica or Bull/Ramiro, lol.
Man, gonna miss Ramiro! So glad he's hung on this long, though. Ugh, Kari! I am both amused and frustrated because I remember how annoying it was when the spouse won't help out. Love watching Bull and Ramiro. Paize is awesome. And that picture with Bubb and Scamp? Oh man! That is too cute!
@Shewolf13 Ramiro's been such a great father. And he's still going strong. I often find him doing sit-ups or push-ups due to his Active trait, lol.
Arrrggh, I don't know why but this update was so frustrating to play.
Bull's generation was so smooth and fun. I'd believed that I finally figured out how to enjoy this dynasty challenge.
But, like Iconica's generation, Guaca's generation is hard to play. It's a mystery.
Bull and Ramiro are slowing down, and Guaca mostly runs around constantly, trying to hold everything together.
Paize is doing great a work and occasionally interacts with the kids.
Bull and Ramiro are so cute together. It's hard to believe that Bull almost married someone else.
I'm willing to cut Kari some slack because everyone else in the house is so helpful. With a butler, a caterer, grandparents, and an aunt, she probably can't queue up any actions with the kids, anyway. She could help out with Scamp, though.
I'm looking forward to seeing Virtua and Bubb as kids.
Bull and Ramiro are a very affectionate couple. I often forget that Ramiro is hotheaded because he usually looks so serene.
Nah, Kari doesn't even try to interact with the kids--she stays parked on the sofa in front of the TV (which is now in family storage, lol) and only interacts with sims who sit on the same sofa. Guaca/Paize were raised in a very similar situation, but Ramiro was always hovering around.
I've found that butlers become gradually less useful over time. Mine don't help out with kids at all.
In this challenge, though, I hire butlers for the negative points to postpone the free days. I like Virtua and Bubb as kids a lot so far.
Virtua and Bubb are so cute, and have I ever told you I love your naming in this dynasty?
Now that Virtua and Bubb are children, I can't wait to see them as teens, hehe.
I'm glad you like the naming. I love the silliness.
