Details, Week 4 - 7

Ander and Marigold wasted no time making little fairy nooboos. 



Having completed his assignment, Ander became the primary caregiver while Marigold continued working on the perfect garden.  There were times, though, when Ander wanted Marigold to help out a little, going so far as to bring one of the infants out and putting her in the garden with the plants to see if Marigold would even notice.


Life with three infants gets pretty hectic and life with three fairy toddlers is even worse. 


Marina is the first born.  She comes into this simworld as a neurotic couch potato.  She was also resistant to her training and at this point was declared a spare.


With Marina's future decided, she gets to grow up quickly and moves out.  She added inappropriate as a child, gatherer as a teen, and savvy sculptor as a young adult.  She rolled the lifetime wish to become a vocal legend.




Ginette makes her appearance second and channels disciplined insanity.  She is an early favorite because of her red hair.


Last, Riley joins her sisters.  She is a perceptive grump.  And she is blue, which is a point in her favor.


Riley and Ginette master the xylophone and read the writing skill books and they are both best friends with their parents.  While Marigold may not have spent much time with them in their infant days, they didn't seem to hold it against her. Much.  With their skills learned, it is time to become children and the race is still on, for a few minutes longer.  Riley rolls Photographer's Eye.  Riley was the first to complete her tasks and had become the heavy favorite for heiress.


Not to outdone though, Ginette becomes a supernatural fan.  She just leapfrogged over Riley into the heiress position.  With cake.


Riley is allowed to grow up and move on out.  She picks up Natural Born Performer as a teen and Over Emotional as a young adult.  Bye bye Riley.




Ander finally remembers to drink his Age Freeze potion.


With the focus now solely on Ginette, she gets to work.



Ginette makes a best friend, who just happens to be an incontinent vampire named Shara Van Gould.  Even though she is looking so shocked, this is actually the second time Shara peed herself, and Ginette had peed herself once.


Ginette achieves her childhood goals and heads into her teen years.  She has a harder time with these goals but she manages to complete everything.  She gets romantic with Felix MacDuff, reaches the third level at the mausoleum, and makes the honor roll again.


The next generation will be the genie generation.  So, Marigold begins looking for a genie of the appropriate gender.  Her first find was not "right"


Ginette decides to take matters into her own hands and find her own genie.  Well, at least he is the right gender.



Interestingly, Branden is a lot bluer when he is not in his genie outfit.  Branden joins the family in anticipation of joining the family.  He is an unlucky, artistic, family-oriented, genius with a green thumb who wants to master the arts.  He is already dreaming about having babies and they aren't quite married yet.


Ginette completes her goals with a few days to spare.  She happily grows up alone outside the mausoleum.


As a graduation present, she and Marigold head to France.  This is what happens with two insane chicks go traveling.  They both show up in their night clothes without their wings.

I'm sooo glad you picked Ginette, she was my favorite.  They were all born different colors, and with different wing patterns?  I haven't had a fairy nooboo yet, that's so cool that they can be so varied!

Week 8

Once Ginette became a young adult, she was able to complete her assignment quickly.  She spent five days in France with Marigold working on her nectar making skill.  Once she came home from vacation, she changed her job to Nectar Maker and began accumulating nectar.  As Ander was the consignment specialist, he took the responsibility of selling her nectar.  Ginette completed all three gardening challenges along with three of the nectar making challenges.  Nectar making also counted for four of her five wishes with marrying Branden filling out the group.  There isn't much for this update, as Ginette spent her time harvesting and nectaring.  Marigold kept the plants in bloom so Ginette could harvest at will.  Ander played with the water toys all week and Branden stayed at the park until he mastered guitar.    When Ginette decided she wanted to marry Branden, they took time out for a quick, private wedding.


Marigold will be testing out the jelly bean plant at the consignment shop to see all of the moodlets.  So far she has received an adrenaline rush, turned berry blue, and found one that was too spicy.  The last one she ate made her need to pee.


Having completed her requirements, it is now time for Ginette and Branden to make some genie babies.

I'm really enjoying the way you are telling this story. Ginette was my favorite for heir as well, her name is great.
You're making good progress.

Thanks!  I am going to get a good run on the 3rd generation today as it is raining here so our renovation plans are on hold for another week.

I hope that any genieboos have the blue skin and orange hair. I am rather partial to Sims with blue skin and orange hair.

You are doing so well you must feel so proud of yourself and your little family.

I still have it saved but reached a blah stage so am taking a break.  Honestly the rules end up being so restrictive that I stop having fun after the first generation. :(
