Back in Business

Howdy fellow readers. The long awaited chapter is finally here. I know I’m spoiling it but I have been looking forward to this moment for awhile. I will be spreading out the babies from here on out.

Will I though? Guess you will have to wait and find out like me because I never know what I’m doing next.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Baylor (girl #2) and Brianna (girl #3) are utilizing the patio furniture to do their homework.

Returning home late from work and went straight to repairing the radio and dishwasher before turning in for the night. What a sweet dad/husband.

It’s finally time to take the rocket ship into space.

Kepler returned home safely and with a fossil.

Cora is looking on in admiration of her children getting along. Every mothers dream.

It is also interesting to see how the children have paired off. Betty (girl #1) and Bear (boy #1), Bradley (boy #2) and Baylor (girl #2), and then Bellamy (boy #3) and Brianna (girl #3). I wonder if this trend will continue or eventually be broken?

Well maybe not this. We had our first ever slumber party and Brianna (girl #3) decided it would be a wonderful idea to prank her brother Bellamy (boy #3).

Practice makes perfect.

Kepler, what did those poor asparagus ever do to you? You are skilled in the kitchen but right now I worry for those asparagus.

After dinner gatherings in the kitchen have become a thing. They all just linger and talk. Also it’s time to celebrate another birthday (no it’s not Betty’s birthday) but Bellamy (boy #3) is in a phase.

Which means wearing a purple bear suit with grapes on it for his birthday celebrations.

Happy birthday Bellamy (boy #3). This means it is the long awaited birthday of Betty (girl #1) tomorrow. Hip hip hooray!

Bellamy (boy #3) received the Friend of the Animals aspiration and his traits are Outgoing and Proper.

Besides $9,000 in royalties, Cora needs one more bestseller to complete the Bestselling Author aspiration and so far she keeps writing excellent books.

I think she is doing this on purpose to me.

Why so angry Betty (girl #1)? It’s FINALLY your birthday and you get to move out this evening.

Cora wished to cloud-gaze with Bear (boy #1).

It’s also Kepler’s birthday tomorrow so he is chugging a class of the Potion of Youth.

It’s promotion time. Kepler is now a [Redacted] (level 9) in the Villian brand of the Secret Agent career.

Time to celebrate Betty (girl #1) turning into a young adult and out of the house. Hip hip hooray.

Now she’s just playing games. Took her a few attempts before the candle flames went out and she did her twirl into young adulthood.

We are finally saying goodbye to the first child. The one that started it all. Which means we can start having more babies.

Is it always like this? I’ve never played this far but that was torturous waiting for them to start turning into young adults. Now it’ll be a domino effect until Brianna (girl #3) moves out.

Then right away they tried for a baby.

Cora – I’M PREGNANT!!

It’s almost Cora’s birthday to because I still have aging turned on while pregnant, so it’s time for her to drink the Potion of Youth.

Except her husband keeps flirting with her and distracting Cora from drinking said potion. How rude.

Cora has finally completed the Bestselling Author aspiration. It felt like forever but she did it, despite Bellamy (boy #3) and Baylor (girl #2) bothering her while she wrote.

Brianna (girl #3) is upset because she feels neglected. Sorry kiddo. Comes with the territory I guess.

Meanie McMeanerson

Hi there. Welcome to another filler chapter because I lied and didn’t play until Betty (girl #1) aged up. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t say how many there are left, but hopefully not many. I’m ready to get back on that baby making train.

Let’s see if they can manage to not set another fire. That would be nice.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Cora has like 25,000 reward points and I finally spent some.

I purchased two money tree seeds. The money from the dragon fruit is getting them through the winter but there is still spring and summer left. Not enough for more interior decorating and landscaping, and bills. Cannot forget about the bills.

And just like that Betty (girl #1) completes the Body Builder aspiration.

*SPOILER* I won’t bother attempting to complete all the aspirations for teenagers. Just the ones that I know I can do like this one.

Looks like Kepler is not please with the conversation with Bradley (boy #2) while he attempts to heavy lift. Don’t blame you bud, lighting weights is hard.

Rocket ship is complete and just needs some upgrades before Kepler takes it up.

Happy birthday Bradley (boy #2).

He received the Admired Icon aspiration and his traits are Self-Assured and Genius.

Bradly was invited to prom with his older siblings. He may not of been a teenager for long but he was Mr. Popular with the students.

So much that they voted him Prom Royalty. His older brother Bear (boy #1) was also voted Prom Jester by their classmates.

Bradley (boy #2) making moves on his crush Evie Delgato but she turned him down. Feeling embarrassed by the interaction he skipped the after party.

Happy birthday Brianna (girl #2). You may of been forgotten as a toddler but hopefully that’s not the case as a child.

She received the Slumber Party Animal aspiration and the Art Lover trait.

Bear (boy #1) took his girlfriend Elizabeth on a date to the pier. They messed around on the cozy carts and now he is purchasing a bubble tea. He had something he wanted to tell her.

He found her behind the cozy carts and decided it was time to break up with her. It was fun but he just wasn’t into her anymore.

Elizabeth was shocked, especially after what they had just done, and started to cry. She didn’t care if she made a scene. Bear (boy #1) was a Meanie McMeanerson.

Kepler is oh so close to completing the Nerd Brain aspiration. He needs to max the logic skill, so he is busy playing chess between his moments of Burnt Out.

Which I dislike by the way *crosses arms and pouts*

Cora can be found in the pool if she’s not under my total control.

Betty (girl #1) is always exercising as she awaits her birthday. Which still feels like forever but I’m copping. Barely. Then there is Bradley (boy #2) who just wants a turn with the treadmill.

Bear (boy #1) looking a little to happy after breaking Elizabeth’s heart. How rude.

Hi Baylor (girl #2).

Bellamy (boy #3) has the Social Butterfly aspiration which will never get completed. It’s just to much work, so he’s living his best life.

Brianna (girl #3) has the Slumber Party Animal aspiration and it might be doable but don’t hold me to it. Next up is hosting a slumber party which I have yet to try.

Bear (boy #1) needed a rival and Elizabeth would not come over. I don’t blame her. So Bear visited her in Willow Creek, only for me to realize that I read the requirements for that milestone tier wrong. Ooops.

Kepler is still not okay. He’s extremely burnt out and I haven’t even been micromanaging him. HE chose to do yoga and got upset.

Should I lock him in a room to make him relax? It is something I am seriously debating.

The bees love Cora.

The beard is back. Kepler is to tense to shave it off and it looks like it will be here for awhile.

Still not her birthday *continues to pout*

FINALLY time for Kepler to chose a branch from Secret Agent career. After consulting the dice, it has been decided that Kepler will select Villain.

He is pleased with the decision.

Why you mad Betty (girl #1)? Your birthday is getting closer. I promise you all that.

And in a surprise turn of events, Betty (girl #1) has completed A SECOND aspiration. After consulting the random aspiration generator, she received the Inner Peace aspiration, and with some help from me she did some of the things. She did the rest and I was surprised to get the notification she completed it.

Cora is making a cake. Unfortunately it is not for Betty (girl #1) but for Baylor (girl #2).

Then the washer broke thanks to Bradley (boy #2) adding additives to it. Yay.

Happy birthday Baylor (girl #2).

Baylor received The Curator aspiration and her traits are Animal Enthusiast and Dog Lover.

Weird Reindeer

Welcome back. The household is still full and that means no more babies until some of the kids move out, so for now, continue to enjoy another filler chapters of the Presley’s.

Maybe we I can play up until she moves out?

FAMILY STATISTICS

Bellamy (boy #2) has a birthday in a couple days and he still needs to max the Imagination skill. So let the mess making commence.

Betty (girl #1) is on the third tier of the Body Builder aspiration. She spends her evenings jogging around Tartosa because the goal is to complete the aspiration before her next birthday.

One masterpiece left until Cora completes the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration.

Bradley (boy #2) is still in a phase. So he’s stargazing for his Creative Genius aspiration while wearing a yellow bear suit with a pineapple on it.

Kids *eye roll*

Turns out that confidence painting was worth being labelled a masterpiece. Cora has now completed three, and then four aspirations.

No doubt because of the paintings and dragon fruit, she completed the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration swiftly.

Now onto the Super Parent aspiration. I don’t even know what full parent mode means but I guess I will soon find out.

Hi Kepler, haven’t seen you yet this chapter.

He now has the Nerd Brain aspiration and is working on upgrading appliances before I will buy him a rocket ship.

Success.

Happy birthday Bellamy (boy #3). Time to celebrate by saying goodbye to the toddler years and all the messes.

I know I know, there will be plenty of more toddlers to make messes but it’s just for now.

He’s feeling neglected. Bellamy (boy #3) received the Social Butterfly aspiration and the Outgoing trait.

Cora has now started the Bestselling Author aspiration. Kepler is nearing the top of his career, so I don’t know how long she has left staying at home with the children.

I used to purchase the Inspired Potion but now I just have them cloud-gaze. This way I can save my reward points for more important things like the Potion of Youth.

Bellamy (boy #3) isn’t attending school today, so he is working on schoolwork to prepare for school tomorrow.

Brianna (girl #3) is increasing her Communication skill while babbling with Paddington.

Yes. Betty (girl #1) is excited. She graduated early and can now focus on her Body Builder aspiration.

Bear (boy #1) needs to mess around in the cozy carts but first he needs a girl to mess around with. He invited over his crush Elizabeth Goth.

They shared their first kiss and become boyfriend-girlfriend.

Tomorrow is Winterfest, so the Presley’s are finally decorating the tree. They should of done it at the beginning of winter but I forgot.

It’s morning and Kepler is in the kitchen. He is preparing a grand breakfast for the family to enjoy before opening their presents.

That was until Cora was doing laundry and set herself on fire. Maybe you need to clean the lint trap more?

After that fiasco was over, they all sat down to eat. Of course there isn’t enough chairs for everyone but luckily the island isn’t that far away.

Sorry Bear (child #1)!

Time to open presents and all children are in attendance.

Evening cuddles before bed just warm my heart.

Father Winter dropping buy to supply the Presley family with more gifts. As well as some individual gifts for those that were still awake and awaiting his arrival.

Bellamy (boy #3) was the first to greet him.

Betty (girl #1) making out with her boyfriend Jace. He’s a frequent visitor around here.

Homework circle on the front step. It’s weird not having Betty (girl #1) in school, she’s kind of left to her own devices, expect when working out, as she is soooooo close to completing the Body Builder aspiration.

Cora is mentoring her teenagers on painting. She needs to one more for the forth tier of the Successful Lineage aspiration. Yes I switched them again.

Lastly, Brianna (girl #3) needs to max the Potty skill before her birthday. Completely forgot about her to be honest.

Aye Aye Captain

We are back and this time it’s just a filler chapter until Betty (girl #1) becomes a young adult. I feel like this is the slow part while I wait for the first born to age up, then it turns into a domino effect with the remainder of children. Honestly I don’t know because I don’t think I’ve ever made it past six children. We’ll see though.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Kepler bringing home the money. He received another promotion and is now a Secret Agent (level 7).

The next promotion he will have to select a branch, will it be Diamond Agent or the Villain branch? It will be selected randomly, so we will have wait patiently.

Cora is teaching Bellamy (boy #3) the basic needs to increase his Thinking skill. Then he will be able to work on it himself.

Bradley (boy #2) successfully completed the Playtime Captain aspiration. He is now working on the Creative Genius aspiration.

Unfortunately there isn’t a treehouse but fortunately there is a dad who will build one for his children.

Cora took a trip to the Museum in Willow Creek to admire three paintings for the third tier of the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration.

Betty (girl #1) joined Cora, now Cora is joining her daughter at the gym while she works out. Enjoying some mother-daughter bonding time while trying to keep up with the young crowd.

Time to celebrate a birthday but the sink, dishwasher AND fridge are all broken. Just great.

Happy birthday Baylor (girl #2).

She received the Artistic Prodigy aspiration and the Animal Enthusiast trait.

Bear (boy #1) was the first to play in the treehouse. He is on his third aspiration and it is the Creative Genius aspiration.

Bradley (boy #1) is going through a phase.

Dance party.

Betty (girl #1) attended prom solo. She has a crush on Jace Laurent and tonight she makes her move.

He was voted Prom Jestor.

Betty (girl #1) and Jace attended the after party. Now seemed like the opportune time to reveal her crush to Jace.

He felt the same and even gave her a rose.

They shared their first kiss, and a few more, before making it official as boyfriend-girlfriend.

Back at home Bear (boy #1) is stargazing. It’s his last night as a child and he’s avoiding bedtime.

Happy birthday Brianna (girl #3).

Brianna (girl #3) aged up with the Angelic trait.

Happy birthday Bear (boy #1).

Bear (boy #1) received the Drama Llama aspiration, and his traits are Perfectionist and Erratic.

Enjoying the outdoors and the newly decorated backyard. Still a work in progress but a huge amount is complete now.

Full House

Hello hello hello again. Last chapter we celebrated more birthdays, completed more aspirations and had another baby. That baby brings me to six pregnancies and no more space in the household. Time to shift the focus from making babies to making money.

Am I right or am I right?

FAMILY STATISTICS

Betty (girl #1) has completed the Rambunctious Scamp and Playtime Captain aspiration, she is nearing completion of the Mind and Body aspiration but I’m unsure if she will finish it before her birthday.

Cora bonding with her boys. Practicing tummy time with Bellamy (boy #3) and talking about random things with Bear (boy #2).

The older kids are having feelings of neglect recently, so Cora and Kepler have made time to talk/hangout with each child more so they feel loved and appreciated.

It’s a busy household.

Kepler in the kitchen can only mean one thing. Time to celebrate another birthday. At least he is wearing clothing this time.

Time to celebrate a sad little boys birthday. Happy birthday Bellamy (boy #3).

Bellamy (boy #3) aged up with the Wild trait and finally happy again.

Brianna (girl #3) also aged up and she received the Cautious trait. It has been the most frequent infant trait with the Presley offspring. Also all the children have Cora’s hair colour.

Cora is struggling with always being in a natural emotional state (without the help of a potion), so she is still on the second tier of the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration because she needs to feel something if shes going to paint three emotional paintings.

Cora continues to utilize the time Kepler and the older kids away to focus on the younger children.

We ALWAYS make time for homework. They may not always complete the extra credit but their homework gets complete each night. Sometimes after multiple attempts.

Kepler has a couple days off and is helping with the toddlers. Neither Baylor (girl #2) nor Bellamy (boy #3) have maxed the Potty skill.

The garage is slowly coming along and this is where the children complete their school projects when they bring them home (if they do them). It is also full of random items and a few skill building items.

Kepler found Baylor (girl #2) outside late at night. Instead of putting her to bed like I directed, they are playing. At least it’s cute.

Brianna (girl #3) first bubble bath.

Finally it’s time to have a teenager in the house. Now is the time I can gain some more points if she completes her aspiration as a teen, maxes her teen job and/or gets on the honour roll.

Happy birthday Betty (girl #1).

Betty (girl #1) received the Body Builder aspiration, and her traits are Materialistic and Goofball.

Updated the basement a tad. Added a weight machine and treadmill for Betty (girl #1) to work on her aspiration. It’s been a loonnng time since I’ve completed it, so I hope it’s one I can complete before she becomes a young adult.

I am ambitious and I like points, okay.

I Hate Mashed Peas

Welcome back to another baby boom chapter. The Presley’s are multiplying (now at five children), the children are growing, and everyone is completing aspirations and increasing skills. It’s all hunky-dory in the Presley household.

Let’s check in on the family and see what is new.

FAMILY STATISTICS

It’s Harvestfest and your first glimpse at the outside of the house. I’ve slowly been working on the landscape but indoors is my main priority right now.

Betty (girl #1) offered a pie in hopes of appeasing the gnome but it did not like her gift.

Bear (boy #1) offered a future cube but the gnome was not pleased either with the offering. Cora was the only one able to appease a gnome.

Kepler got to work on the Turkey dinner for Harvestfest BUT the power went off. Not because I didn’t pay the bills, because I did, it was from the Neighbourhood Action Plan (NAP) which apparently has Power Conservation days in place.

I really need to repeal that one. Uuuuggghhhhhhhhbhbhhh

Tomorrow is Kepler’s birthday. He purchased the first Potion of Youth and is now a fresh young adult again.

While sitting next to the fireplace for light, Cora completed the Lady of the Knits aspiration. This is her second completed aspiration and will now move onto the Painters Extraordinaire aspiration.

The smaller children were already in bed because it’s late but Betty (girl #1) and Bear (boy #1) joined their parents for a Turkey dinner to celebrate Harvestfest once the power was turned back on.

Kepler and Baylor (girl #2) bonding.

Cora also purchased a Potion of Youth because it was her birthday. I have aging turned on while pregnant and just never turned it off, so I’m just going with it but that was a close one.

It’s that time again.

Announcing their sixth pregnancy while Kepler rocks another beard.

Baylor (girl #2) is scooting around while Bradley (boy #2) can be found napping on the couch. Every time Cora puts him to bed he gets out and sleeps else where. Toddler logic.

Saying goodbye to the toddler years and hello to being a more self reliant child. Happy birthday Bradley (boy #2).

Bradley (boy #2) received the Playtime Captain aspiration and the Self-Assured trait.

Baylor (girl #2) also received the Silly trait.

The boys room is complete. Bradley (boy #2) is asleep and Bear (boy #1) is reading under the covers.

I’ve also come to the conclusion there needs to be a few more rooms added. I’m unsure if they will be upstairs (will need to build a second floor) or downstairs in the basement. I’ve already needed to purchase a playpen for a second infant because there was only one crib. Didn’t think the room situation through.

It’s nearing the end of fall. Which means saying goodbye to our moneymaker.

Don’t worry Cora, I’m sad about it too.

The older children took a trip to San Sequoia. All three of them are on the Playtime Captain aspiration.

That is Bradley’s (boy #2) first aspiration, Bear’s (boy #1) second and Betty’s (girl #1) third. I’m ambitious, okay.

Ohhhhh my. Check out that lemon helmet! I adore it.

Why are you at the beach?

Bear (boy #1) was feeling neglected + Cora wishes to hug her son = A loving moment.

Kepler and the three older children are at school and work, which means Cora is on skill duty with Baylor (girl #2) and Bellamy (boy #3).

Bellamy (boy #3) does not like smashed peas and I do not blame him. They look AND smell gross.

Time to have the last baby for a little bit. There will officially be no more room until Betty (girl #1) moves out. This will finally allow Cora some time to get creative and make money. I have BIG plans for this house.

Now introducing the newest member of the Presley clan, Brianna (girl #3). This means we are tired 3-3 for boys and girls.

Make baby, Birth & Repeat

Howdy! We are back for more things Presley. Last chapter I worked more on the interior of the house, the genders are now tied after the birth of the second girl, and Kepler grew a beard. Fun times in the Presley household.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Time to bake but make it seductive? Not really sure the vibe Kepler is going with here but it’s working for him.

Starting off strong with a birthday for the first boy. Happy birthday Bear (boy #1).

He received the Mind and Body aspiration, and the Perfectionist trait.

Some father-son bonding before enjoying the chocolate cake.

Bear – Look dad! Over there.

Kepler knows what is happening but goes along with it because he’s a good dad.

Betty (girl #1) completes the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. No points to be earned (😔) but now she can do as she pleases while keeping an A average.

Bear (boy #1) starts on his Mind and Body aspiration by learning how to ride a bike. Which is a new feature that I love.

Baylor (girl #2) aged up with the Wiggly trait.

Ever the studious children. Home from school and they were happy enough to complete their homework before heading outside to ride bikes.

Time to work on the Potty skill with Bradley (boy #2).

Kepler came home with a promotion and he’s now a Government Agent (level 6). At some point along the way I missed a promotion. Oh well.

Cora has one more legendary knit before she completes the Lady of the Knits aspiration.

Bradley (boy #1) working hard on increasing his Thinking skill. It is the last skill to max before his birthday.

Kepler – My sweet baby girl.

Bear (boy #1) is close to finishing the Mind and Body aspiration. It was fairly easy with little direction from me.

Kepler is not okay right now. Between work and all these kids, he needs a vacation. He’s burnt out AGAIN.

Cora looks uncomfortable and that can only mean one thing. It’s time to have a baby.

I would like to introduce Bellamy (boy #3).

And somehow I forgot all about newborn Bellamy (boy #3) it feels like (technically only 2 days) and he’s now an infant. He aged up with the Calm trait.

Saying Goodbye

Welcome back to another exciting chapter of the Presley family. Last chapter a few rooms were furnished and decorated (newborn-toddler room and the master bedroom). Cora gave birth to another boy and Kepler received a promotion. Both Betty (girl #1) and Bear (boy #1) celebrated birthdays.

Let’s see the shenanigans they get up to next.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Just like his older brother, Bradley (boy #3) received the Cautious trait.

Some mommy-daughter bonding time. They’re talking princesses while working on their respected skills.

It is fall in Tartosa. Which means the dragon-fruit Kepler and Cora caught while fishing and planted are fully grown and producing.

Think of alllll the money.

Cora is in the kitchen now. Her progression with cooking is slow but there have been no fires, so I call that a success.

It’s time to celebrate another birthday in the Presley house. Happy birthday Betty (girl #1).

Betty (girl #1) received the Goofball trait and the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

I’m working on taking more photos during the newborn/infant stage. Bradley (boy #2) is working on tummy time with this cute mat.

Time to make another baby.

A successful implantation but more importantly, why are you outside in your underpants Kepler?

Telling stories and roasting marshmallows before bed. Maybe once the interior is mostly complete I will finish the yard BUT that will be expensive and time consuming for what I have planned.

Maybe next summer? And I mean their summer not mine.

Cora is on the last tier of her Lady of the Knits aspiration, one requirement is to teach someone to knit and since Kepler is the only able soul, he is her victim.

The tablet was easy but making messes is much more efficient in increasing toddler skills.

Betty (girl #1) has completed the first tier of the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

Not all children will complete their aspirations because there are no points but it’s easy when there is only one child in the household. Plus I think the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration is the easiest. Who knows what I will do.

She’s back in the kitchen with another cake. That seems to be all she cooks because Kepler is the family cook and keeps the fridge well stocked.

Happy birthday Bradley (boy #2).

He aged up with the Silly trait and went straight to making messes in his pajamas. That a boy.

Betty (girl #1) checking out the new and improved girls bedroom.

It’s labor time.

Welcome Baylor (girl #2) to the family.

Yes a fifth pregnancy has been confirmed but what is that on his face? I have not played much since the update and it took me by surprise.

Farewell beard, your time was short but you were not.

House Husband Material

Welcome back to another fun filled chapter with the Presley’s. Last chapter they moved to Tartosa (left that part out), purchased some land and welcomed two children, a girl and a boy, while living on the lawn. Things are improving with the newly built house but money is low, so let’s see what shenanigans they get up to now.

FAMILY STATISTICS

Cora Presley | Mother
Kepler Presley | Father
Betty Presley | Girl #1
Bear Presley | Boy #1

I already skipped Bear’s (boy #1) entire pregnancy and most of the newborn stage, so here he is doing some tummy time. Which he hates. He also aged up with the Cautious trait.

I’ll do a house tour soon but each of these archway leads to two bedrooms and a washroom.

Bear (boy #1) has the Loves to be Held quirk, which I find very annoying in game. Yet personally loved it (most of the time) when my own kids wanted to be held at this age.

It’s time to celebrate with the first birthday cake of the challenge. Betty (girl#1) is celebrating her birthday with chocolate cake.

Time to blow out the candles.

Betty (girl #1) aged up with the Charmer trait.

With very little to do around the house because money is low (current household funds are $1,000 even and I’m worried about bills), the family packed their bags and took a day trip to San Sequoia.

Kepler did some fishing before heading to work and Cora sunbathed on a nearby lounger.

I wonder if I could build a water park in their backyard because as Cora starts popping out more babies, it’s going to be hard to travel and keep everyone happy.

The nursery received a small facelift. I don’t like it that much, it’s to dark in my opinion, but at least there’s an actual crib now, so I call that progress.

It’s baby making time again.

AND they now have a toilet, so Cora was able to take a pregnancy test and announce that they are expecting again.

COME ONE COME ALL AND BUY THESE FOUL SMELLING FISH BECAUSE WE NEED MONEY. That is all.

Kepler thrives as a parent. He’s totally in his element and should of been the stay-at-home parent.

Then there is Cora who just knits.

He’s finally feeling not feeling burnt out *eye roll* and needs to work on his Charisma skill. Cora takes over with Bear (boy #1) and helps him to practice sitting.

Kepler would of made a great house-husband. He’ll have his time to shine as soon as he reaches the top of the Secret Agent career.

Why are you mad Cora? You just sold your first item on Plopsy.

*Spoiler* It’s all she sells before I unlist the other items she listed because no one will buy them.

Time to celebrate another birthday. This time Kepler made a vanilla cake for the birthday boy.

Bear (boy #1) aged up with the Fussy trait. Which suits him because he was a fussy newborn.

Not to long after the candles went out that Cora went into labor.

Meet the newest member of the Presley family, Bradley (boy #2).

This is more my vibe.

The newborn/toddler room got a facelift. It’s more inviting and offers them the potential to increase their skills. Bear (boy #1) was eager to check out the new and improved room.

Kepler came home with a new promotion and suit. The man is looking sharp. He is now a Field Agent (level 4).

Is that you Betty White?

It’s June! Which means that it is time for the Summer Sims challenge for Pride/Summer Fete 2023. I get to choose the challenge I want to complete (must be completed by September) and I chose a favourite that I WILL succeed at completing, and that is the Baby Boomer challenge.

So here I am, ready to rock and roll again. I will quickly list the mini-challenges that I will also be doing for this challenge and then it’s go time.

NOT THE Bs! – Have all children’s names start with the letter B.

Family Gallery – Set up a gallery somewhere on the lot with PAINTED portraits of both parents and all their children as young adults, before they move out.

OWBC Style – Bad apple – Have one child of each sex be a bad apple who cannot be controlled or view their wants/needs/skills (will be the sixth child of each gender).

Wishacy Style – Fulfill all the whims of your sims whenever they pop up.

Never Learned to Share – LTRs can only be used by the sim who earned them.

SimShare – Upload the parents and all their children to the Gallery. ID Mychuno

StoryTime – Story must be uploaded to Boolprop.

Meet the lovely Cora Presley. Her aspiration is Lady of the Knits, and her traits are Overachiever, Animal Enthusiast and Family-Oriented.

This is her wonderful husband Kepler Presley. His aspiration is Master Chef, and his traits are Foodie, Loyal and Romantic.

They quickly purchased the Knight of the Octagon Table before banishing him to their household inventory. Good-bye!

A quick flip of a coin decided that Kepler would be the one to get a job.

Since I always choose the same careers. I will be doing what I did during my last attempt at this challenge, and that is using the random number generator to select a career.

I rolled a 24 which mean Kepler will be starting a career as a Secret Agent.

It was after this moment that I realized I chose an aspiration with a career attached to it. After a quick glance at the rules, there is not one saying I cannot jump between aspirations. So Kepler’s new aspiration is Angling Ace.

Then it was time start to making babies.

Since there was no available toilet (currently using a bush to relieve themselves), Cora could not take a pregnancy test and would have to find out naturally.

So she started knitting.

Kepler ventured into town and found a quiet place to fish off of the dock.

Cora and Kepler are discussing the logistics of having babies while living in a tent. They are going to need to find another source of income if they want a roof over their heads soon.

Another one for good measure.

Kepler returned home with a promotion. He was now an Intelligence Researcher (level 2).

In need of some relaxation, Cora went down to Porto Luminoso for a swim and lounging. Then I realized she was pregnant, like really pregnant.

Good job me.

Because they are in desperate need of money, Cora gathered items that they have collected and set up a yard sale. She marked up the items by 300%.

After dealing with being burnt out, Kepler was able to secure another promotion. He is now an Agent Handler (level 3).

Will the excitement over a child ever get old with these two? I hope not because they have at least 23 more pregnancies to go.

It’s go time.

Say hello to Betty Presley (girl #1).

Cora is giving let’s-try-for-another-baby-like-right-now vibes to Kepler. I hope he catches on what she is insinuating.

He did.

While Cora tends to the yard sale, Kepler takes over parenting Betty (girl #1). He may bring in a steady pack check but she brings in the big bucks scamming poor souls with a 300% markup on voodoo dolls and foul fish.

Kepler was smitten with his little girl and couldn’t wait to have more just like her. She aged up with the Sunny trait and it suited her. Betty (girl #1) was all smiles.

Preoccupied with making money, Cora’s second pregnancy passed before I could even announce it. She was already in labor and about to welcome their second child.

Welcome Bear Presley (boy #1) to the family.

Kepler came home with another promotion and is now a Field Agent (level 4).

Also the Presley’s now have a house. It’s large and spacious with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The main living area is mostly furnished but the remainder of the house is bare.

Bear (boy #1) aged up with the Cautious trait. What does this mean? I guess I will find out soon enough.
