MIGUEL- ROUND 11- HOUSE 12

Welcome to the Miguel household.

Living here in this house is a bunch of friends, let's meet them...

Ripley Miguel is the Daughter of Darren Dreamer and Pollination Technician, born from an abduction, as if you didn't guess, you can see her many half siblings... :)

 Ripley was forever friends with Sophie Miguel, who grew up with her and when they wed Ripley took her new wife's surname to avoid confusion with her half-brother Dirk and his family.

 They are both studying the ways of the light and have been elder witches for some time.

 Also living here is Alvin (Oldie-Hanby) Gregory. He is the adopted son of Lucy Hanby, former maid and love interest of Herb Oldie.

 Alvin met his wife Melanie Gregory in college, and took her name when they married.

 Here they are, the crazy family sims with their son Damian who also lives here, celebrating their latest return from a day's work at being Education Ministers.

 Damian met his wife Adriana in college, they are just watching their own son Ethan grow up a stage.

 Ethan grew up well. 

 Also in this packed out house live Mungo, Tiffany and Ruby the puppy.

 Ruby has to go to the adoption pool, which stresses all the family Sims out as they all take turns to cry about it. 

 Not to worry Alvin, Mungo and Tiffany are already making more puppies.

 Alvin's brother is Harry Oldie-Hanby, natural son of Lucy the maid and Herb Oldie who got together briefly after Herb's wife Coral died. Herb never got to meet his son Harry, and Lucy adopted Alvin so that Harry wouldn't grow up alone.

 Adriana and Ethan are the only Sims whose wishes I try to fulfil as all other Sims are permanent platinum.

Adriana just moved into the Entertainment career, as per her Lifetime Wish.

 Occasionally I have the witches cast spells, mainly the spectral cleaner as all these sims seem too busy having fun and no-one autonomously cleans anything!

 Adriana is steadily working her way through the entertainment career. As a Knowledge sim all she wants to do is skill, and the Gardeners of the family really help keeping a supply of Eggplant juice for when she needs fast skills for promotion.

 There's Melanie in the background answering a call and making a best friend while Damian helps Ethan with his wish to have homework help.

 Having so many things at his disposal Ethan is gaining skills left, right and centre.

Another promotion and a less ridiculous outfit for Adriana.

 Ethan encourages his dad to play Marco Polo in the little dip pool I created behind the house.

 Yes, the hard work paid off and he shows off his A+ card to his mother.

 Nature oriented family, there's Alvin in the background sharing hobby tips about fishing (without any direction from me- such a show off... whilst Ethan works on his Gardening badge).

 Adriana makes a friend of Sophie, and asks what her secret to looking so young is at her elder age. The answer? As an Icon in Showbiz she always has to look good but puts it down to great skin and dyed hair of course. :D

Another half an hour wasted while family sims cheer themselves, Ethan hugs his dad and before Melanie falls asleep she has to greet the guest she brought home from work.

 Little Andy Hanby (a cousin) walked by and stayed long enough for Ethan to befriend.

 Ripley (who is a World Class Ballet Dancer) brings home Monica Caliente. (Formerly Bratford).

It's not always such a perfect life, Damian got a demotion when he made a bad decision at work.

He still celebrated coming home, of course. :D

 A new addition to the family, albeit briefly. Little Pearl is born and is picked up almost immediately before anyone has a chance to miss her.

 Ethan earns his Bronze badge in Gardening while Melanie and Ripley enjoy a spot of early morning fishing.

 On Friday night there is an attempted break in.

 Everyone is watching the fight (a little too keenly Sophie!) apart from Adriana who would rather watch tv.

Russ Bear the burglar is apprehended and nothing is taken, the household even got 500 simoleons for the inconvenience.

 As he's up Damian decided to give the dogs a bath. Tiffany got stuck the few times he attempted it, some little bug that's crept into the house, or maybe the tub. :)

Adriana reached the top of her career and earned permanent platinum. She's looking for the Science career, which is her next wish and more appropriate to her personality.

 On Sunday another puppy is born, little Opal joins the family and I decide to let her stay a while. These two have had 3 single puppies, all girls.

 Ethan gains a Silver Gardening badge while his dad Damian talks the eggplants into great harvesting status.

 Mungo has reached the top of his doggie career.

 No Science in the paper today so I let Adriana go off for one last shift to end the week.

Summary.

Just Adriana and Ethan to wish fulfil which was easy most days. Skilling and playing with the pets for both and making friends.

There was one quick trip to the pet store, but nothing of worth happened and I guess I didn't take any pictures of it.:D

All the elder sims are now 68 days old and will all retire at 70 as per my unwritten rule.

Thanks for reading. :)
