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.
week-5-a-3
Cheri even initiated a few fun flirts with Leonidas.
week-5-a-4
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?
week-5-a-5
Nope, no rejection here. Cheri was feeling it, too.
week-5-a-7
Ty asked Catherine to watch the stars. I must say, I'm one happy Sim God. These guys are getting along wonderfully!
week-5-a-8-a
Both couples settled in to watch the stars.
week-5-a-12
After they watched the stars, Catherine moved in for a heat of the moment kiss, after all... Ty was being very cooperative, up to this point.
Apparently, things change fast in the Duncan family. Ty was NOT pleased with Catherine's bold move! He promptly chewed her out. She left for home, dejected and sad.
week-5-a-13
Mood swing, 12 o'clock! Now Cheri is rejecting Leonidas romance advances after spending the better part of the last hour or so being very receptive of them.
Time for Leonidas to head home and take a cold shower.
Man, were these Duncan kids hot and cold! Sim God bubble burst...
week-5-a-14
On Thursday morning, everyone was running a bit behind from the visit at the Duncan household. Kat, for the first time, didn't make breakfast for the family. And since Madison had never cooked before, she just whipped up some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for everyone.
week-5-a-15
Since it was festival day, everyone invited someone over to visit.
Kat took this opportunity to invite Matthew over and end things with him.
Zeke wanted to play more with Aimee, since they had such a fun time last night - until the teens visits went sour and forced everyone home.
Catherine and Leonidas invited over Cheri and Ty, hoping to improve those relationships, since both Ty and Cheri agreed to be the twins dates to Prom this Saturday.
week-5-a-16
Kat began letting Matthew down as gently as she could, explaining she just wasn't in a place to be in any type of relationship and of course he was welcome to be in Zeke's life as much as he'd like. Matthew would always be welcome at her house, as long as Zeke was there.
week-5-a-17
Matthew was not ready to end things with Kat and told her off pretty quickly.
Kat asked him to leave until he could  cool off.
week-5-a-18
Leonidas quickly kissed Cheri, while she was still in a romance mood.
week-5-a-19
Catherine was also on the receiving end of a Duncan good mood.
Seems like the Duncan kids woke up in a better mood than they were in last night.
Leonidas asked Cheri on a date and they headed to tour the theater while Catherine stayed home with Ty.
week-5-a-21
Catherine finally got her first kiss with Ty. Her heart was aflutter and her breath caught in her throat. She just couldn't image any boy dreamier then Ty.
week-5-a-23
Wanting to cool things off before her mom came out, Catherine and Ty sit at the kitchen table to do their homework.
Nothing killed teen hormones quite like arithmetic.
week-5-a-24
Zeke was having a blast with Aimee playing tag. They were already best friends.
week-5-a-25
While Leonidas and Cheri were in the theater, getting frisky with one another, Cheri's mom, Audrey Duncan, walked by outside.
Week 5 a (30).jpgWeek 5 a (33).jpg
Just a couple random screenshots I took while Catherine and Ty were studying and Leonidas and Cheri were in the theater. Such beautiful scenery.
week-5-a-26
After nearly getting caught at the theater by Cheri's mom, they headed to the festival and cooled things off by bobbing for apples. Neither won but it was still good fun.
week-5-a-29
They began to get hungry, so Leonidas took Cheri to the fancy restaurant in town before ending the date with a hug and kiss.
Leonidas couldn't wait for Prom night. He really liked Cheri.
week-5-a-28
After completing homework, Catherine and Ty made their way to the festival and played a game of chess.
It was a lame distraction cause Ty suggested they head to the theater and Catherine couldn't think of one good reason not to go.
Week 5 a (36).jpg
After their "tour" of the theater, they headed to the diner for a simple, sinfully bad for you burger, fries, and a milkshake.
Better watch it, you two... that walk tattles on you both.

After dinner, Catherine and Ty sit outside and spent a bit more time together before ending the date.

Friday morning, Kat seemed like she might be losing her mind a wee bit...
screenshot-3
Maybe she was just in deep thought? Yes, that had to be it... Kat was in deep thought.
screenshot-4
Kat and the kids had breakfast again together, even Madison got up early enough to join them (I might need to consider getting a larger table).
Everyone headed out to school and work and they day passed as normally. Kat went to the Dojo after work until 3pm and Madison got off work at 3pm.
screenshot-6
At home, Kat offered to teach Catherine to drive since they both had a wish for it.
screenshot-8
They both look like they're pretty terrified.
screenshot-7
Zeke got on the honor roll Friday. He always does his homework as soon as he gets home. Usually his brother and sister are around, doing their homework, too, in case he needed help with anything, but today he just completed it on his own.
screenshot-9
Leonidas had an opportunity to fix the broiler at school, which made him a little late getting home.
Once home, Madison offered to teach him to drive in her car.
screenshot-10
Madison and Leonidas are much more relaxed in their process than Catherine and Kat.
screenshot-11
Yep, petrified.
screenshot-12
Zeke completed his homework. Since his siblings were driving, he felt it was only fair for him to strap into his own race car and spend some time behind the wheel.
screenshot-13
This is how you park once you learn to drive? I dunno, Kat... might rethink Catherine's license there.
screenshot-14
Leonidas learned to drive (I had to reset him and Madison as they teleported off screen somehow after he learned to drive). Everyone started getting ready for bed and calling it a night. Catherine spent a little time searching the galaxy and completing a wish before she turned in, too.



Tomorrow is Saturday, Prom Day. I'm hoping to invite Cheri and Ty over close to prom time so that they for sure go with Leonidas and Catherine.
We're 7 days from starting Gen 2. Leonidas and Catherine will age in 7 days. I have to move Catherine out within 24 hours of her aging, so I'll likely move Ty in, get them married (quickie wedding) and get her pregnant, then move them in their own house (The houses in town are full, so I'll have to merge a couple families or find somewhere, somehow to add another house to town).
I'm still trying to determine how exactly I'll handle Kat and Zeke. You can move the old generation out as soon as the heir ages to YA, and since Leonidas roll is Single (no help), I'm thinking if everyone but Catherine stayed, it would be basically like he has helped (no way his mom would not help with her grand babies).
So I'm thinking getting Kat and Madison set up and moving Zeke out with Mom. I'm still toying with ideas, at this point.

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...
