Chapter 10: Are You Freaking Kidding Me?!?!

Life for Kat, Madison, Leonidas, Catherine and Zeke have fallen into a pretty standard routine. Monday thru Friday, they focus on careers and schools, Saturday is family day, and Sunday is catch up day (the day the do whatever is needed for school or work).

After work, Kat stopped by the gym to get some exercise in. She needed a couple skill points for her next promotion.

Madison has an opportunity to take a painting worth $750 to France and make some extra money, since it's opportunity related, I have her working on her painting. The only draw back, she is far from painting $750 worth paintings and we can't sell the extras. But, we can decorate the house with them.

Madison got Zeke potty trained in no time while Mom was at work and the gym.

Catherine and Leonidas always sit down to do their homework together.

Usually followed by tag outside.

Loki aged up to an elder. He's another one I'm not ready to lose. :(

On Kat's next day off, she got started on teaching Zeke to walk.

Since the house was getting super cramped and the girl's had been completing opportunities and with promotions, they'd saved enough to get a bit bigger house. So the Silver Family is moving (still in Sunset Valley - for now).

*Technically, this is the second house they moved to. The first house was from my bin and - aside from the horrible colors - just wasn't working out at all for us. So I exited the game and found a house from MySimsRealty. After moving them they had $142 left. And the girls didn't go to work for another day or so.

Loki has taken to attacking Catherine. They don't have the best relationship anymore. Catherine plays with him and talks to him, but Loki just doesn't seem to like her at all. This is the third time in as many minutes that he jumped on her and knocked her down.

Since it was Festival Day (Leisure Day), Madison took the kids to the ocean while Kat rummaged in the Keaton's bin and then wrote a report on them.
screenshot-176
As soon as she was done, she joined them for a bit of fun in the water before the sun started setting.
screenshot-177
They made their way to the festival, where they competed in the hot dog eating contest. Catherine got a bit of a jump on the rest of them.
screenshot-182
Zeke come over and, as expected, Catherine won the contest (even though I forgot the hot dogs in her inventory and they spoiled by the next morning).
screenshot-183
Madison took a very tired and cranky Zeke home to put him to bed while Kat practiced her soccor moves and Leonidas and Catherine had a shootout.
screenshot-184
Are you flipping kidding me?!?! We're too broke for an alarm and damned if we aren't getting robbed yet again! And I'm about 90% sure it's the same chick that robbed us last time! Grrrr....
screenshot-185
And she took our decent computer, which Madison needs for work. And we sure can't replace it. Luckily, Kat has a laptop in her inventory (for writing reports), so the family will have to share that until we can replace the computer.

Catherine's ballet recital came late this week, too. She had to take the time to show off to her Mom her new ballet moves. (Even though she was pretty worn out).
screenshot-196
Leonidas is such a help around the house. He'll clean dishes and make beds.
screenshot-198
While his sister spends her free time playing games on the tv. Oh, well, it's Saturday.. might as well let the kids have fun. It's family day, but I realized that tomorrow is Zeke's birthday and we haven't even finished teaching to to talk or walk, so Saturday has become Catch up day.
screenshot-199
I have no idea why, but Madison took a shower and changed into her everyday clothes and the colors have changed. I'll have to take her back into CAS and try to fix it soon.

Kat was trying to get us enough money to buy that alarm when I realized Zeke was not prepared for his birthday.

screenshot-204
So Kat quickly taught him to walk and talk.

I felt bad that the kids were stuck in the house on such a beautiful day (last day of summer), so I sent them to the stadium. Zeke had an opportunity to attend a free game (Catherine had it, too, but for some reason, it disappeared).
He pelted the crap out of a school friend with a water balloon and started a water balloon fight while he waited for the game to start.
screenshot-207
Catherine just finished competing in the amateur Olympics. She didn't win, but at least she got out of the house.
screenshot-208
And she went and joined the water balloon fight.
screenshot-212
She had a wish to visit the local pool, so when she was finished with the water fight, I sent her to the pool where she beat this lady (?) in a breath holding contest. I think Catherine is a bit competitive. She loves competing and generally - not always, as evident by the Olympics - wins.

Tomorrow (Sim time tomorrow) is Zeke's Birthday.
I plan to throw him a party and invite Matthew. Matthew is currently in a relationship with Jamie Jolina. Boy, does she get around. She was dating Seth for a hot minute, then started dating Beau, they were engaged and not 2 minutes after I got the notice that they were getting married, I got the notice that they split up. So, as of this second, Jamie Jolina and Matthew are dating... but that can change. I might invite her, too.
Madison is level 10 in her career. She works 3 hours a day, 3 days a week and makes a little over $1,000 an hour.
Kat just got promoted to level 9. I forgot to write down her stats on work, but she is making a little over $300 an hour, works 3-4 days a week and somewhere around 5ish hours a day.
Kat has already bought all three of her businesses in town. They help bring in a bit of money (not quite $3,000 a week).
I did forget about her needing to get in a fight, but it's only Saturday night in game, so I will have her - probably - find Pauline, unless someone else strikes Kat's fancy... Maybe a said Jamie Jolina. That woman is obviously going after Kat's sloppy seconds. It might be time to tumble. But not at Zeke's birthday party.
Oh, Monday is the twins teen birthday. The party Sunday will kind of be a "all included" birthday party for all 3 kids. Though, only Zeke will be aged up and the twins will be aged up the following Monday after school. After the twins birthdays, I'll create a poll, with all three kids *known* traits and their YA pictures and we'll see who is going to be the next heir that way I can get started on their goals.

Chapter 13: Hot and Cold Duncan Kids

These first few photos were taking outside, at night, so I have edited/lightened them up. Again, I'm new to editing Sims photos, so the color is likely off in several of them. Honestly, it's not something I actively do (as I only do this to try to make sure you guys can see them clearly), so I do apologize that they aren't that great, color wise. Leonidas really has taken a liken to Cheri. Seems she likes him, too. Neither one had any problems with flirting. Cheri even initiated a few fun flirts with Leonidas. Leonidas was feeling very into the moment, so what better time then to go for a heat of the moment kiss? Would he be rejected? Nope, no rejection here. Cheri was feeling it, too. Ty asked Catherine to watch the stars. I must say, I'm one happy Sim God. These guys are getting along wonderfully! Both couples settled in to watch the stars. After they watched the stars, Catherine moved in for a heat of the moment kiss, after all... T...

Chapter 15: The End of Gen One

The final week of Gen One is upon us. Kat's story is closing and Leonidas is taking over. This update may be a bit longer than normal, just cause I want to finish Kat's story in this last update of Gen One. Winter has fully came to Sunset Valley, snow covering every surface causing sims to bundle up before heading out of their homes. The Silver family is enjoying their morning meal together, happy that they all got to share the time this morning. After breakfast and needs, Kat decided to spend her day off at the Dojo. She jogged to the Dojo to give her time to think and clear her mind. Time is passing Kat by so quickly, soon it will be her elder birthday, her eldest are nearly YA and her baby is soon to be a teen. Where had time gone? Had she really spent the better part of her life wrapped up in advancing in her career? No sign of love in her life? She knew what her heart was telling her, but she wasn't even sure how to go about following her heart. ...

Chapter 5: Consequences

Kat immediately regretted jumping into bed with Davon. She was far too focused on her career to settle down and she wasn’t even sure she liked Davon like that. He was a great guy. Fun to hang out with. But she really couldn’t see herself settling with him long term. He just didn’t do it for her. She began to explain to him that she just wanted to be friends, nothing more serious than that right now. Needless to say, Davon was not too pleased with Kat. He did not take the news well, which just reinforced Kat’s decision. The next morning, the girls didn’t even get to have breakfast together. Madison was running that and Kat burnt the waffles again. Madison left without eating and Kat just grabbed a quick meal of cereal. After work, Kat headed to the local Dojo to practice Martial Arts for another career opportunity she had. It didn’t take her long to earn her first belt. This might be something she spends more time on in the future. It felt good to get some a...
