Awwww Apollo how sweet! That is so cute--at least one of the Grim men is pursuing a woman at something more than a leisurely pace! They are such a darling couple  :)

Rica: I haven't been letting Apollo's teenhood be all romance and homework.  Oh no.  He managed to get to level 8 handiness in four days thanks to blocks and tabcasts.
Apollo: "I can feel you staring at me Rica."
Rica: "Really?  That's fascinating. I'm going to have to do it more often."
Apollo: "Go away.  I don't want to mess up this upgrade."
Rica: "Fine."


Jules: "Oh zis is a great feeling, no?"
Rica: "Wouldn't know personally. "
Jules: "Now I can enjoy time witz my wife and daugther."
Rica: "And doing what I want you to do."
Jules: "What would you 'ave me do exactly?"


Rica: "Mine people Mine!"
Jules: "Zhis is not what I 'ad in mind."
Rica: "Yes but you and Dakota are right next to each other."


It was in the middle of one such mining venture that we got the news though.   Elisha had passed away.  Rosemary's long time paparazzi boyfriend would no longer be hanging just outside the gate hoping for a picture or a kiss.


Tama: "Such a pretty bird.  Pretty bird."
Rica: "What did you name him again?"
Tama: "Ralph."
Rica: "Mmmk but the first day you people forget to feed it, I'm letting it lose."


Adrianna: "Whoo!  I did it."
Rica: "Yes! We finally got the cool fridge."
Adrianna: "Does this mean I can retire?"
Rica: "Soon."


Rica: "You sure that's how you upgrade it?"
Apollo: "Yes.  This is exactly how you upgrade it."
Rica: "Hey.. don't get all attitudey with me buddy.  I could arrange for you to marry someone else."
Apollo: "You wouldn't dare!"


Rica: These two are still in love.  They're constantly getting wishes to flirt or woohoo with each other and they always want to play games with Apollo.


Apollo: "Whoo maxed handiness!"
Rica: "And you've already managed four out of ten upgrades.  Good job buddy.  Now go get dressed for prom tonight. And wear the suit!"
Apollo: "No!"


Rica: "It sucks that both of you got stuck going to prom solo."
Apollo: "It's all good.  I already gave her my heart so there is no possibility of me finding someone new tonight.  I'm just going to hang out with some friends and maybe spike some punch."
Rica: "Just don't get caught and in trouble."
Apollo: "Of course not!"


Dakota: "Apollo just upgraded the new stove so I think I'll make us some dinner.. Wait a minute.  Rica there is something making it so I can't move in here."
Rica: "Wait.. what?  NO!"
Dakota: "Wait.. are those sparkles?"


Rica: "It can't be you first.  You're only 91.   Your husband is supposed to go first!"
Dakota: "Calm down Rica. It looks like someone else has other ideas.  Oh this is kind of dizzying."


Rica: "Everyone come quick!"
Artie: -gasp- "Dakota!"
Adrianna: "What's going on over here?"


Reaper Daniel: "Whoops. I missed the kitchen.  Dakota Cross I'm here to help you pass on to the next world."
Artie: -crying- "Dakota.  Dakota.. why oh why didn't you break the dishwasher before dying?"


Ares: -just home from work- "Jules.  How could you?"
Jules: "Zhis is not my fault!"
Ares: "You're the older one.  You're the retired one.  You should be the dead one!"
Adrianna: -crying hard- "We had finally become friends!"
Dakota: "Ares.. down boy.  "
Rica: "Fine I'll be mad for all of us."


Dakota: -grows impatient- "Ugh.  Slow poke Reapers.. I'll see you guys in a few days.." -poof & swoosh-
Reaper Daniel: "Hey I was getting there.  Nice Fridge."
Artie: -hugs Rosemary-  "It's ok.  She won't be gone for long.  They always come back.  But now we are seven and I think it is time to do what we talked about before yes?"
Rosemary: -hiccup- "Ok."


During all of this - Apollo wasn't even home.  He came home to a new grave marker and a dishwasher to fix but he brough home a crown!


Rosemary: "Hello Yes.  Rosemary Begley.  I believe Artie Grim called ahead for me."
Perigree Night Secretary: "Ahh yes.  We have a room waiting for you.  It should only take a moment."


Rosemary: "How fast does this work? I mean how long will I have to wait to get what I came for."
Perigree Night Secretary: "Oh it's waiting for you outside already, honey.  Go look."
Rica: Hey look  Rosemary2


Girl Child: "Mother?"
Rosemary: "Hello Saffron.  You ready to go home?"
Saffron Begley: "I think so.  I'm trying to remember where home is."


Rosemary: "I brought you a birthday gift."
Saffron: "Oh wow thanks mom!"
Rosemary: "It's nothing really.  I'm just glad you're going to be able to come home with me now. There is so much to teach you."
Saffron: "I can't wait, but can I go to sleep first?"
Rosemary: "Of course, that sounds like a good idea."


Reaper Daniel: "Hey I went to the right spot this time.   Bubba Bigglesworth it is time to move on."
Bubba: "Riiiiica!"
Rica: -sniffles- "I don't like you very much Reaper Daniel."
Bubba: "Oh good.  Tell the others I said goodbye."
Rica: "No.. tell them yourself!"


Reaper Daniel: "You're such a good boy aren't you?  Yes a pretty boy you are. "
Rica: "You know.  He's only 55.  You could let me keep him just a little longer."
Reaper Daniel: "Boss's orders."
Rica: "Meh."


Bubba: "Bye! Haunt you later!"
Saffron: "Mama.  Why is everyone over there crying near that man in black?"
Rosemary: "Oh no. "


Ares: "I'm not sure very many people like you around here."
Reaper Daniel: "It's the job."
Ares: "He doesn't know does he?"
Rica: "Must be new."
Reaper: "What am I missing?"
Rica: "Bob.  He should talk to Bob."
Ares: "Or Rueben.  Definitely Bob or Rueben."
Reaper Daniel: "Look I don't know what kind of game you guys are playing but don't make me get some of my buddies and come back to take your whole families."
Ares: "Oh you think you can threaten me and my family?!"
Rica: "Run little Reaper.  Run.  "
Reaper: "Hey man.  You're the one who started it!"
Ares: "No .. I'm the one who's gonna finish it."
Reaper Daniel: -flinches- "Just back up man."
Ares: -sticks out his chest and gets close to the reaper's hood- "Boo."
Reaper Daniel: -poofs-
Rica: "Now might be a good idea to go make sure your wife knows that she's still your number one."
Ares: "Good idea."


And here is Saffron Closeup.   We had a nice little chat and decided pink would be better than Lime again.  Plus I think it brings out her eyes better.

Poor Dakota, I really thought that Jules would die first. Although I am thrilled to see that Rosemary got the chance to clone herself. Talk about a beautiful child!

RIP Dakota. We'll miss you dearly. I read the title and I thought, "No!" Saffron's cool, though. Happy clone birth!

Is it sad that I'm still really mad at Jules for Dakota dying first?  I mean I've never really hated a Sim before until Dakota died in the kitchen while Jules was doing his own thing.

As for Saffron, she's adorable.  One of the main reasons I wanted Rosemary in the house was because she reminded me of Shantel Steel from my first published dynasty.  I loved her almost as much as the first gen's spouse.    When Rosemary's chance didn't come, I knew I had to think of something.  Next thing I knew the spot that should have been Rosemary's child was taken my a french invader!  Oh well.  She got her child in the end and I wouldn't change that either.  Saffron is probably one of the prettiest Sims ever for me.  Just wait!

If only Rosemary knew what her daughter/clone dreamed about.   I was just happy that I was able to fulfill a lifelong wish for her to become a mother.


Now if only time would hold still for a little while so the daughter could get to know her mother before the reaper comes back.


Adrianna: "Whoo! You finally let me retire."
Rica: "I still think it's dangerous.  "
Adrianna: "I don't want to work anymore though."
Rica: "Fine fine fine.  Sit at home and think of evil things for Artie to do whie he's at work."


Artie: -chuckling- "This science center is just going down hill.  First they give me a dog instead of a cat now they've made a red dog into a spotted dog."
Rica: "Yes but at least it's still a dog. "
Artie: "I guess that's true.  What should we name him?"
Rica: "I have no idea."
Artie: "Then it's my turn .. I choose... Beowulf."
Rica: "Really?"
Beowulf: -barks-
Artie: "See it's official. Now let's go home."


Rica: "Hey check you out.  Finally reached level 10 painting."
Tama: "Yeah that wasn't so bad at all was it."
Rica: "Only one more thing to do for your lifetime wish too."
Tama: "Also true!  And only a couple more masterpieces to supermax too."
Rica: "Right on track."


Now it's two small dogs and one big bed.  Just so cute!
Rica: "Barkley happy?"
Barkley: "Definitely. The family line shall continue once more."


Dakota's first night back?  She spends it trying to hold on for dear life.


Rica: "Morning"-yawn-"Saffron.  You're up early."
Saffron: "I couldn't sleep anymore.  Today is my first day at school!"
Rica: "Wow and you're excited about that."
Saffron: "I sure am.  Also.  This is the best thing ever."
Rica: "Have you tried the treehouse?"


Jules: "Mon Dieu!  A ghost!"
Dakota: "Will you stop with the stupid mining machine?! A ghost is trying to sleep here!"
Rica: "Oh look who is still hanging around."
Jules: "Ma chérie!"


Dakota: "Oh I've missed you darling."
Jules: "I 'ave missed you too."
Rica: "Oh please.  We got drilling to do here people!"


Tama: -whispers- "Hey I got an idea." -whispers even lower so no one can hear but Apollo-
Apollo: "That's a great idea.  Let's go do it."
Rica: "Where you two going?"
In unison: "Nowhere."


Tama: "Step One get a special treat - complete."
Apollo: "Cool.  Let's go do Step 2."


Apollo: "Step 2 - Buy property and set up cake to light candles.. Check."
Rica: Upgrade property enough to make it level 1. check


Rica: "Step Three.  Wish Big."
Apollo: "I wish..."

Rica: "Step Three.  Wish Big."
Apollo: "I wish..."


Apollo: "I wish to be the man she wants me to be."


Step 4: Become a Man.
Apollo: "What is with the hair at birthdays?"
Rica: "No idea."
Apollo: "Finally I can ask Tama what I've wanted to forever."
Rica: "No."


Apollo: "What do you mean no?!"
Rica: "Step 5 - get they own butt to mirror. "
Apollo: "but.."
Rica: "To the mirror!  See I just added one just for you.  Go Go Go."
Apollo: "Fine slave driver."
Tama: "He doesn't have to.."
Rica: "Yes he does."






Rica: "Much better.  Don't you feel better back in yellow."
Apollo: "Maybe. Now can I do it?"
Rica: "Yes.. go."


Apollo: "Hey Beautiful."
Tama: "Wow.  Rica was right.  A quick trip to the mirror was definitely worth it."
Apollo: "C'mere.  I got something to ask you."


Tama: "First let me do this." -plants him one right on the lips-
Apollo: "Mmhm."
Tama: "I missed that."
Apollo: "Me too let's do it again."
Rica: "blech."


Rica: Three guesses what is last trait was and first two don't count.
Tama: "What did you want to ask me sweetling?"
Apollo: "Actually, I think now isn't the right time.  But don't worry I'll ask you soon."
Tama: "Oh really?" -swooning-


Apollo: "Ready to go home?"
Tama: "Sure thing Romeo. "
Apollo: "I want to stop by the base real quick though and get my new job."
Tama: "Alright.  I need to talk to your Dad about something.  See you at home?"
Apollo: "See you there."


On the way home, he also managed to pick up a new pet Falcon.
Rica: "Same rules as before.  If no one feeds him for a whole day, we set him free."


Rica: "And this is Dodo.  He's a Lilac-Breasted Roller that replaced Ralph in the back cage. "
Apollo: "It's a pretty bird.  Yes he is."
Rica: "Did I just see that announcement right?  Your graduation is today?"
Apollo: "Yeah apparently aging up at midnight meant I graduated today."
Rica: "Weird. OK everyone to the car."


At City Hall, a protest has been raging for hours.  Local Vampires all turned the day Artie Grim arrived have decided that they don't appreciate the local science facility offering a cure to vampirism.  "It makes people think we have some kind of disease.  We're not diseased, we're sunlight challenged!" said ringleader Franco Wolff-Cruz.
[Vamps pictured: Mia & Phillip James, Anais Willheim, Sofia Vanderburg, Franco Wolff-Cruz]



Saffron: "Ugh.  What is with the traffic jam people?  Can't we all move away from this spot."
Rica: "Seriously.  I just missed the entire diploma toss because of heads."
Apollo: "Whoo! I made Class Valedictorian. "
Rosemary: -chuckling- "They also voted him Most Likely to Save the World."
Rica: "Your Dad is most likely to rule it and you're going to save it.  Are you going to save it from him or for him to rule it?"
Apollo: "Hey family secrets.  We're in public!"


Tama: "Hey Saffron."
Saffron: -joyriding- "Yeah.. Vrooooom."
Tama: "Want to go to Egypt?"
Saffron: "Yeah!"
Tama: "Let's go.  Family trip then."
Apollo: "Woot."
Jules: "Egypt you say?"
Tama: "Yes Papa. Come to Egypt with us?"
Jules: "No.  I zink I will stay 'ere and watch za puppies.  Enjoy yourself, ma petite."
Tama: "Please Papa."
Jules: "If it were France, maybe but no.  Your maman is still visiting and za puppies need someone to watch, yes?"
Tama: "Ok Papa..."

I had the exact same reaction as you when Dakota died. Sigh. Well how wonderful though that Rosemary got to have a child of her own! I was a bit surprised at first but then it made total sense. So glad that Apollo is old enough to be reunited with his love, and...wow. He is a hottie! Where is his everyday outfit from, it is so cute I want it!

Apollo's last trait was... Vegetarian! No? Umm... Car enthusiast! No? Then I guess, hopeless romantic! *Phew* I'm glad those first two guesses didn't count.  ;)

Great updates, Saffron is ridiculously cute!

Beowulf may not be red, but spots are so cute on puppies, so I forgive the science center their shoddy copies.

Wow, that is the most uniform protest I've ever seen, usually I'm left with a confused feeling, but that was clearly a bunch of vamps protesting science, that's pretty cool! And very funny.
