CHAPTER THIRTEENAUTHOR'S NOTE: Whew! It has been a long time since I have updated you guys. Life picked up and now (Thank watcher) it's slowed down tremendously. A very big update is ahead, so brace yourself. The men of the house (Oscar, Skip, and Billy) spend all of their time fishing; Versailles tags along too sometimes. They all thoroughly enjoy it. They catch death fish for the house and sell them at the Consignment Shop which brings in a lot of funds. The family funds is about 300K and the overall net worth being about 900.5K. Versailles was at work when the awful news was brought to her attention.
Billy begged to stay, but his time had come. He left behind a broken-hearted Versailles.
Versailles found herself mourning her husband in the new family cemetery. We will see how long it stays here. I thought being by the pond Billy always fished in was a good place for him. However, RIP Billy (Caspian) Knowledge. You did the dynasty well.
Venus was heart-broken to see her wonderful father pass. Felicity was there for her best friend/sister in life. What a sweet friendship/sisterhood they share. You can see in Felicity's face that the pain of immortality demands to be felt.
Felicity: "I don't know how she will manage when my time comes. The sweet thing is so fragile. I have always held her hand when things got tough."
Delilah won't remember her grandfather. Her smile cheered Venus up through the mourning. Venus knows deep down that her husband, Oscar, won't live to experience being a grandfather. She tries to forget.
Versailles also gets to take care of her other daughter's little son, Rupert. She thinks of him as her grandson. Felicity loves the idea of Rupert growing up in the house where he can be watched over and nurtured. Wow, Rupert is a cutie.
Felicity loves cuddling her baby boy.
Soon enough, Felicity and Venus's adult birthdays were here. Venus has most of her requirements except for maxing her self-employed Sculptor career (She is at level 8. It is proving to be difficult to get there.), finishing the ice skill challenge whatever, and her final museum pieces of course. Thank goodness for Felicity for her ability to ice sculpt. She's managed to get Venus's YA piece and Delilah's toddler piece. She will be able to get her adult & elder and do Delilah's until Venus is able. I am also trying to at least get portraits at the young adult/adult stage of the spares to put in the museum. Felicity has quite a few things down there. Like her awards and diplomas and such. Anyhow, Venus aged up first with a HUGE party! Every guest was cheering and blowing horns!
Dear my game, can you not change her hairstyle, please and thank you??
Then the beautiful and vibrant, Felicity.
It's too bad Rupert didn't get those vibrant eyes. He is a clone of his father, Skip (Broke).
Oh my, my young beauties have wrinkles. Seriously, Venus and Felicity are some of the most beautiful girls I have had in the Sims.
The (old) hubbies were thrilled to see their young ladies a tad older.
That night, Versailles couldn't sleep and found herself wondering outside. She was convinced that she saw Billy. Her first instinct was to give him a formal goodbye.
Billy kissed her back and said as the dawn began to break, "My beautiful Versailles," but he was cut off by the rising of the sun.
"Billy," she croaked.
Not a moment later, it was time for Delilah and Rupert to age up. One last toddler cuteness picture.
After the big extravaganza for the adult's birthday party, a small family one was due. First was Delilah...
That HORRID hair!
Then delicate little Rupert,
A snow hat? Really?
That is all for this update. I will shortly be posting makeovers and the updated upstairs bedrooms. I am afraid I will go over the picture limit, hehe. Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
