Chapter 1.2: We’re All Mad for Birthdays Here!

Last time on the Harwoods Pearl used her sim ray to make subpar objects into slightly less subpar objects and almost burned the house down. Kunzite is now a teen and a Public Enemy to boot. Mal is the leader of the Carefree club and got himself a girlfriend. Garnet is in the babysitting career and Paolo is still working on getting to level 10 in the bodybuilder career.

08-31-16_9-05-06-pmI’ll start off this chapter with the all exciting news that the Harwoods have a better stove than they did before! I know, I know this is what you all came here for.

08-31-16_9-08-45-pmGarnet is as much of a gym rat as her father. I’m going to try and get Garnet as buff as possible. Which probably isn’t very much on her thin frame.

08-31-16_9-38-06-pmPearl: “Are you sure it’s wise to set a beacon to call aliens here. *whispers* What if they are bad aliens and want to probe us all?”

Well it’ll be an experience you won’t forget!

I’ve used the satellite to call the aliens twice and have yet to see one.

08-31-16_9-48-47-pmThis daily task of mentoring sims for the athletic career is a real pain. But since Paolo completed his bodybuilder aspiration he can focus more on his career.

08-31-16_10-02-59-pmWhen Paolo isn’t mentoring sims he is upgrading objects around the house.

08-31-16_10-46-03-pmPearl was promoted to Tech. Innovator and Paolo was also promoted to Professional Bodybuilder, so I was able to put in the second bathroom and expanded the teens bedroom as well as the front room.

I wish I could find exercise fun like these two.

08-31-16_11-09-25-pmPaolo invited Don over to mentor him, but when Don showed up he kicked over the trash can. I guess he wasn’t in a very good mood.

08-31-16_11-10-08-pmPaolo had to show dominance over Don by kicking his but in a fight. It wasn’t a malicious fight just something athletic sims can do at a certain level.

08-31-16_11-11-50-pmAfter showing Don who’s boss Paolo continued to torture Don by mentoring him.

09-03-16_8-29-16-amThis bald beauty is Myron Hartley all grown up. Garnet learns he is Creative and Cheerful. He will fit nicely into this family I think.

09-03-16_8-39-13-amI forget why but somehow Mal became energized and he wanted to text his girlfriend.

09-03-16_8-44-11-amAnd she invited him to the gym. Probably the last place he wants to be. However he flirts with her mercilessly and they don’t end up going inside.

Mal: “So I know we are still teens and maybe too young to promise ourselves to each other, and we don’t know what our third traits will be, but I’m willing to take that gamble if you are.”

*here’s me crossing my fingers that Peyton doesn’t roll hates children for her third trait*

Peyton: “Oh babe there is no one else in this world I’d rather gamble with.”

09-11-16_9-38-47-pm

Kunzite invites Madelyn to the park to get to know each other better. They are just friends at this stage.

09-11-16_9-23-05-pmPaolo: “Whoohoo we get to Whoohoo!”

These two are still very much in love.  And Paolo is almost an elder now.

09-12-16_7-55-26-amMal has finally reached level 5 of charisma and is now on the final tier of his aspiration. And he already completed earn 1000 club points so all he needs is 8 members in his club.

This aspiration is easier than I thought It would be. 🙂

‘ 09-12-16_8-02-34-amMal: “Myron do you want to be in my club? It’s super fun! We play chess and read n’stuff.”

Myron: “It actually sounds kind of boring.”

Mal: “My sister’s in the club.”

Myron: “Well why didn’t you say so to begin with? Of course I’ll join if she’s in the club.”

Mal: “Right now all I need is one more sim to join my cause.”

Myron: “Club….you mean join your club.”

Mal: “Yes…that’s exactly what I mean.”

09-12-16_9-05-09-am

Kunzite being friends with Madelyn invites her over so Mal can ask her to join the club. Which she does! Now Malachite has finished his aspiration, and before becoming an adult to boot! His next aspiration is Soulmate.

Alright ladies and gents we finally have a cowplant! My first ever in the sims 4! And I’ve had this game ever since it came out 😦

09-12-16_8-06-10-amAnd Paolo had his elder birthday by himself. I felt so bad, but I was focused on everyone else I completely forgot he was becoming an elder 😥

09-12-16_8-43-11-amHowever it is the twins birthday as well so Mal her is making a cake for himself and his sister. This is actually the third cake mad. Pearl made two but sims kept eating the cakes before I could put candles on them.

09-12-16_8-49-28-amHowever the third time’s the charm. Mal is up first with Peyton singing him into adulthood.

09-12-16_8-51-51-amAnd Next up is Garnet. Peyton really gets into the spirit of things.

09-12-16_8-52-25-amDat ass ‘tho. I don’t remember either of her parents having a sizable rear end, but Mal also has been gifted with a big booty so they must get it from somewhere.

Malachite’s third trait is  dance machine which is interesting because he is lazy, but I guess that’s Paolo’s influence sneaking in there. His other two traits are Lazy and Creative.

And Garnet’s third trait is Cheerful. Her other traits are Creative and Active. 09-12-16_8-54-06 AM.pngAnd since Peyton was here I had her age up as well. Her third trait is Insider.

09-12-16_11-34-42-amAwwww look at this little guy! Isn’t he cute?

The next day Garnet invites Myron over and surprises him with a birthday of his own.

09-12-16_12-58-49-pmLook how handsome he is! Myron’s third trait is squeamish. I think I will leave you here. This sure was a chapter full of birthdays!

Will Garnet find love with Myron? Can Kunzite take his friendship with Madelyn to the next level? And will their be a wedding next time?

 

Chapter 1.1: Carefree and Smitten

Welcome Back readers. Last time many skilling events were going on.The twins finished their child aspirations (Garnet even completed 2), and then they had their teen birthday. Malachite received the Lazy trait, which Paolo was not happy with, and Garnet received the Active trait. Pearl had her adult birthday she also froze a co-worker with the freeze ray.

08-24-16_12-57-34 AMThe Harwoods were able to afford a house finally. I downloaded this house from the gallery. The house was created by ruthless_kk.

So I did something stupid when putting the house on the lot. I only put a few things in the family inventory and then I though well the house comes with furniture so I stopped putting things in the inventory and plopped the house on the lot. Well the Harwoods couldn’t afford the house with the furniture and unlike a smart person I continued with the download thinking the family could purchase the rest. Well they had to purchase the cheapest beds, and I had to sell the couch. And Pearl’s garden also got deleted so she has to start anew, but luckily she had a lot of her plants in her inventory so she doesn’t have to start from scratch.

08-24-16_1-06-45 PMI however did save the punching bag.

Garnet: “Dad makes this look so easy!”

Garnet autonomously went to start working out. Active sims, gotta love’em.

08-24-16_1-09-34 PMPearl: *sighs heavily* “You mean I have to start all over again?!”

Well at least now you have pots.

Pearl: “That doesn’t make it any better!”

08-24-16_1-13-32 AMPearl: “Hey Alice! You wanna try this serum out?”

Alice: “Sure!” *swipes the bottle out of Pearl’s hands.

Pearl: “Um…don’t you want to know what it is first?”

Alice: “Man this thing tastes really good!”

I can’t remember which serum this is but I think it’s the one that makes a sim flirty.

08-24-16_1-21-16 AMPaolo: “Hey honey how was work?”

Pearl: “It was great. I got a promotion to Serum Sequencer.”

Paolo: “That’s great. Wanna go celebrate?”

Pearl: “Can I take a rain check on that? I just really want to try out my ray gun!”

Paolo: “What? Seriously?”

Pearl continued to celebrate by turning the refrigerator into a shower. And since the shower was a better quality than the one they had previously I kept it and sold the old one.

Since turning the refrigerator into a shower was such a success Pearl decides to transform the entire kitchen. However we lost the stove and counter and ended up with this toad which ended up as a pile of ash.

Pearl: “Ops! Did I do that?”

08-24-16_2-03-44 AMMal: “Garnet why are taking a selfie! Mom almost burned down the house, we lost the kitchen, and we’re doing trigonometry!”

Garnet: “Quit being a drama llama Mal. Besides mom was able to by another refrigerator so not all is lost. And this selfie is to mark that I finished my trig! My loyal followers deserve to know I rock!”

Mal: *mumbles* “Damn over achiever!”

08-24-16_2-12-23 AMWith this punch Paolo has completed his bodybuilder aspiration! He now has the Fabulous Wealthy aspiration.

Since Paolo has finished his aspiration he now can concentrate on his career. Also Alexander Goth is buff!

08-24-16_10-41-07 PMWith Pearl’s promotion they were able to repurchase a new Easel. This painting is so adorable and I wished I kept it! 😦 Also they were able to buy another cheep stove.

08-24-16_10-45-19 PMPearl also got this handy dandy chemistry lab. For a second I thought about selling it, but I didn’t.

I finally put a wishing well in Magnolia Blossom park.

Malachite: ” Oh wise and benevolent wishing well, please grant me true love.”

Wishing well: “Bah, your measly contribution of §200 is insulting! You are cursed for your insolence!”

Needless to say Malachite was cursed for a day. All of his flirting attempts would go no where.

08-24-16_11-41-13 PMMal: “Hey Alice, how has your day been so far?”

Alice: “I married.”

Mal: “Um…I wasn’t trying to flirt.”

Alice: *affronted* “Why not?! Whats wrong with me?!”

Mal: “Um…you’re married?”

08-24-16_12-29-20 PMMalachite started a club called Carefree where teens get together and do their homework, have friendly interactions, eat, read, and play chess. And he bought a perk which completes the first tier of the leader of the pack aspiration.

Garnet: “Hey Isiah how’s it going?”

Isiah: ” You’re looking good”

Garnet: *blushes*

Garnet finds out that Isiah teen trait is romantic. Minkz is in the background is a geek.

08-24-16_12-40-59 PMMultitasking at its best. By the end of this gathering Mal has finished tier 2!

Back at home Pearl transforms the beds util they are a slightly better quality, I was a little nervous of starting another fire so I didn’t have Pearl try too many times in a row.

08-24-16_10-55-22 PMHappy Birthday Kunzite!

Kunzite: “I wish to be awesome!08-24-16_10-55-37 PMMal: “Whoooooo! It’ll be hard to be more awesome than me, but give it your best bro!”

56cb6a4d-d12a-4fc4-922e-ce85fdffa24aKunzite got the Public Enemy aspiration which doesn’t fit his personality. The only way I can justify it is he’s more of a Prankster rather than anything too malicious.

08-25-16_12-07-33 AMGarnet: “Sorry I had to work on your birthday Kunzite.”

Kunzite: “Oh it’s alright sis. Mal had some of his club members at my party so that was pretty cool. Also Mal invited me to the club so we can spend more time together!”

Garnet is in the Nanny career and she is at level 2 already. She is such an over achiever.

Garnet: “Hey whats wrong with success?!”

08-31-16_4-29-11 PMThe next day Mal took his club to the park. Mal needs to talk to one more club member about his club in order to fulfill one of the objectives in tier 3 of his aspiration. Which he does by inviting this lovely lady Peyton Scales to the club. Now all he needs to do to complete tier 3 is to get level 5 in charisma.

08-31-16_4-33-47 PMThese two hit it off and are soon friends, with a bonus of looking super cute. Mal learns that Peyton is a slob and jealous.

08-31-16_4-41-32 PMGarnet wasn’t having any luck on her end though. She tried putting the moves on Isiah, but he wasn’t too into it.

Garnet: “I think I’ll crawl into a hole and die I’m so embarrassed.”

Isiah: “Sorry Garnet. It’s just we’ve been friends for so long I just don’t think I can ruin that.”

08-31-16_4-54-17 PMMal invites Peyton over and they go from friends to romantic interests.

Mal: “You know Peyton I think we should exchange numbers and all. For club gatherings and all that…”

Peyton: “Sure, sounds legit; but can you tell me why your mom is creeping on us?”

Mal: ” Um….not really…she’s just super weird I guess.”

Mal has his first kiss and embolden by his success he ask’s Peyton to be his girlfriend which she accepts.

08-31-16_5-01-46 PMMal decides to move the make-out session inside because he was a little weird-ed out that his mom all of a sudden turned into a creeper.

08-31-16_5-01-59 PMPearl: “Oh hey guys! If you too are going to be all hot n’heavy remember to use protection.”

Mal: “Mooommmmmmmm!!!! What’s wrong with you?!”

Pearl: “I’m just saying. I’m too young for any grand baby’s now.”

08-31-16_5-02-22 PMPeyton: “Well I think that’s my cue to leave.”

Pearl: “Don’t be a stranger dear!”

Mal: “It’s official, I’m going to die now.”

Pearl: “Man your sister is right, you are a drama llama.”

08-31-16_5-06-29 PMNeedless to say Mal doesn’t die of embarrassment. Instead he works on his charisma.

Mal: “Oh I’m not really reading. Just trying to forget one of the worst moments in my life and hope that Peyton still wants to be my girlfriend tomorrow; or even wants to talk to me anymore.”

08-31-16_8-12-13 PMAt least now when Kunzite breaks something I can have him fix it instead of his poor parents. Muahahahaha!

08-31-16_8-18-30 PMKunzite: “Mal quit sexting your girlfriend and start paying attention!”

Mal: “Don’t worry bro I still have enough mental capabilities to whip your but and talk to my girlfriend. And we are just talking you know?”

Kunzite: “Why wouldn’t you be sexting your girlfriend?”

Mal: “Dude not so loud! Mom will here you!”

Pearl: *yells from another room* “You better not be saying anything inappropriate or I’m going to have your dad mentor you on how to box. And we all know how much you hate to workout.”

And this is where I leave you. Will Pearl stop being a creeper or is she just getting started? Will Peyton still want to hang out with Mal?
