I love Patrick's orange eyes! I'm tempted to vote for him as heir on that alone, but I'm going to wait until he ages up to see what traits and stuff he has. :lol:

He almost became heir. I closed the poll when I went more than 48 hours without a vote. I closed the blog yesterday. boolprop does not seem to get much traffic in the poll area.

I hate having to replay. My off button is on the top of my case and my cat has, a few times, accidentally turned off the computer jumping off (he likes to sleep on it while I play). It now have MCCC auto save every game day so I don't lose too much when it happens.

...as for mischief on the computer - Social troll the forums will build the skill from the beginning, or almost the beginning, one of the early levels, without trashing relationships. Until you need enemies

Ah, I did not know that. I never do the mean aspirations. In fact, this is the first time and that is why I am making her do both of them. I keep forgetting to do the auto save feature. I might do that. I play on a desktop. If my cat is being naughty, she might hit the power button on the surge protector. Mostly she just sits on my tower and stares at me creepily.
We posted at the same time. LOL

I saw that LOL.
Spoiler:
Yeah my power button is the size of a quarter and it is the one spot he puts his weight as he leaps off. He has turned it off maybe 3 or 4 times that I know of - when I was playing, the last time I lost about an hour of play time. My laptop is the one that likes to freeze up when it overheats. I hadn't even thought about the surge protector button. He knocked over some binders the other day and powered it off, and I moved the books away. But I wasn't playing at the time.

I don't play the mean or mischief aspirations either and discovered that I can level up mischief skill with troll the forums without ever talking to someone. There are a couple of mischief interactions you can do that don't cause negative reactions most of the time - the one about false confidence and invite to party.

She ends up needing enemies for her second aspiration, so it ended up being okay that she made people mad.
Had a small emergency, mentioned in the update, or this would have been out already.

Yay for the final generation! I really hope you're able to complete all the skills and aspirations without pulling out too much hair. :lol:

I also hope your son gets better soon! That doesn't look or sound comfortable. :(

New update. With such hard bonuses, these chapters are long. I doubt I would even do them if theses guys weren't vampires.

Chapter 3.1
Spoiler:
I am actually thinking that I just might complete them all. The goal is to not have anything besides the C&D stuff during the pregnancies and the Serial Romantic Aspiration for Robin.

He's doing a lot better. The swelling is down 50%. For him it hurts. The calamine lotion made the swelling (the first night) worse. The second night we tried Ivarest and which he is now found to be allergic to that. That is what caused the rest of the swelling. He got the steroid Shot on Tuesday and now he just uses cold packs, allergy tablets and drinks constant water. He completely missed his 3rd week of high school and it's going to be brutal trying to catch up next week.

Aww thanks. He got a whole week off of school. I am just glad it was only his 3rd week of high school, so he actually did not have much to make up.

I pre-ordered Dragon Quest XI and it released on Sept 4, so I have played the hell out of that. I turned my computer on for the first time in 9 days last night and got some playing in. Luckily, there wasn't too many shots left sitting for me to forget about.

There is a bit of an issue at the beginning of this chapter, but it fixed itself after they went on vacation. I can only hope it keeps going well.

You can do it! Yeah, Seasons and Outdoor Adventures do not play nice together.
Tent sleeping - they have to be there at least 6 hours and they have to wake up on their own (meaning the circle has to fill up) - and it has to be overnight (like 10pm to 4am or so).

Just did a marathon read. I'm on 2.2 but that's where I have to stop for now.

All your sims are so gorgeous!

Dammit. I woke her up. I'll have to leave her to it then. It's the only thing she needs to do (besides max herbalism skill) so, I don't actually need to wake her up. I'll try that again. Thanks for letting me know.

That's a lot to read in one sitting. Thanks, I really like this family.

I know for a fact that if they were not vampires, i would not be doing any of these bonuses.

I did that several times - got impatient and woke Buffy up just short of the circle being complete before I read up on it. Make sure she doesn't have to go to work or anything like that for at least 8 hours, because waking up before at least 6 hours will cause it to not count also. One night, I think her mom died and I was freaking out that she would wake up too soon to go witness death.
