Chapter 5

Why hello there! The heir vote is still up but it’s clear that neither Newton or Nelson will be heir, so they have moved out and in with their spouses. Yes I said spouses. Newton married Cassiel Lewis and they live in Oasis Springs, and Nelson married Kendall Flex and they live with her father and 4 cats in Del Sol Valley. Mother was Judith Ward but she has passed.

So let’s check in on the remaining children and Nahla, see how they are doing.

Henrik completed the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration within minutes of booting up this save. This is his second aspiration he has completed, first one being the Whiz Kid aspiration.

That same night Luxe also completed that same aspiration. I didn’t realize they were both at the same stage.

AND unbeknownst to me, Henry also had the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration and completed it on his own.

Wow. What a welcome back to this save.

Astrid is making friends. She invited over Claire Roswell to hang out and talk boys.

Would it be a chapter without the homework circle? I think not.

Luxe and Henrik are now on the Artistic Prodigy aspiration together. Since they are both the crowd favourite (it’s constantly changing who’s in the lead), I will focus on them until an heir has been chosen.

Astrid signed up for cheerleading.

Now on the second stage of the aspiration.

I really need to get out and get this family a life. Maybe that will be my focus for generation two, less focusing on skills and more on experiences.

Just casually making a mess while attempting to make cake.

Happy birthday Avril!

Avril aged up with the Artistic Prodigy aspiration, and her traits are Lazy and Top-Notch Toddler.

I never bothered to look at her skill panel before she aged up, so seeing she earned the Top-Notch Toddler skill was a pleasant surprise since she was sort of neglected. Oops.

Checking out the new pack. Astrid went to high school where she learned and made a few more acquaintances.

I like this new pack.

She also made a new friend. She invited Sidney Price over after school and made her move.

Turns out he was also into her, and now they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

ALSO I love the new poses when taking photos using the cellphone. Beats the usually same old photos.

Astrid did not want to wait until school the next day to ask Sidney because it was Christmas tomorrow. So before he left, she got down and did a promposal!

He of course said yes.

Nahla back in the kitchen making cake to celebrate another birthday.

It’s also Christmas, so they are spending the morning celebrating the twins birthday and then the afternoon doing holiday things.

Happy birthday Harvey!

Harvey received the Party Animal aspiration, and his traits are Cat Lover, Animal Enthusiast, Physically Gifted, Top-Notch Toddler, Creatively Gifted, and Gregarious.

Happy birthday Henrik!

Okayyy. I’m not mad if he’s heir.

Henrik received the Mt. Komorebi Sightseer aspiration, and his traits are Cat Lover, Childish, Physically Gifted, Top-Notch Toddler, Creatively Gifted, Mentally Gifted, and Home Turf.

Looks like Henrik is in the lead, so the family moved to Mt. Komorebi. A lot could happen before I close the poll but the family will remain here (moving them every generation) regardless of who wins.

House is by (will link later). I’ve updated it and done some modify to suit the family.

It’s Christmas. So time to do all things festive and that means decorating the Christmas tree as a family.

Sidney stopped by unannounced to wish Astrid a Merry Christmas. Maybe even exchange promise rings *wink wink*

This holiday turned out a lot better then the disaster that was Thanksgiving. Everyone enjoying their meals and small talk.

Avril and Luxe decided not to eat in the formal dining room and enjoy a quiet meal in the breakfast nook.

Anyone else not able to change the light intensity on the lights? I dislike the yellow shade but it won’t let me change it and I’d rather not replace all those lights.

A successful Christmas.

Off to their after school activities. Henrik signed up for football.

Back at school to learn.

Harvey asked Celeste Munch to prom. He has been admiring her from a distance, so he’s extra happy she said yes.

Henrik has a new friend. Her name is Elise Roswell from Strangerville. They’re smizing okay.

Henrik – Elise, would you be my prom date?

Elise – Do I have to wear a dress?

Henrik – No.

Elise – YES! Yes I will be your prom date.

Nahla is currently on the second stage of the Big Happy Family aspiration. She’s socializing with Harvey for it but also trying to figure on what’s happening in her kids lives.

Staying goodbye to her last day as a teen. This evening she’ll move out and do all the adult things.

Henrik has been thinking about Elise a lot lately, so he invited her over and told her how he felt.

They shared their first kiss and become boyfriend girlfriend.

Who let Nahla in the kitchen again.

Happy birthday Astrid!

Her aspiration is Self-Care Specialist, and her traits are Geek, Romantic, Kleptomaniac, Top-Notch Toddler, Responsible, Socially Gifted, Spa Membership, and Graduated with Honors.

She moved to Tartosa with Sidney.
