Drifting Along, House 014.4

Stay Over Visitors. Just fucking wonderful. It looks like it is Hunter and La’ei Huntington, mom and dad to Hayes. Plus his siblings, Hilton, Hyatt, and Hannah.

Hayes influences Harper to do her homework. As she is the heiress, she is the one I am most concerned about.

Hogan was also influences but Henry refused over and over again.

Nadine hides in the bedroom with a book. She is getting sick, it is being passed from the visitors and this is a common sight.

There are literally ten sims in this house. Only one is controllable. Four I can see their needs but cannot help. Five that are complete uncontrollable mysteries. Even with three bathrooms this is a common sight also.

Surprise. Nadine is trying to clean up the water from the broken fridge, which can’t be fixed until Hayes gets home from work.

All the children and Hilton as they come home from school. At least the house is kind of calm during the day while they are all at school.

I didn’t see who destroyed the dollhouse but all the children, most of the children noticed, and most of those cared. Hyatt doesn’t care apparently.

The triplets all start their homework without prompting, which is great since Hayes isn’t home yet.

There are four finished white cakes and four that were started and stopped before finishing. I really hate this thing they do. I forgot this is a side effect of the Foodie NAP which has now been repealed, so hopefully they stop making cakes and start making real food.

Hayes earns a promotion to Office Doyen, level 4. He is getting burnt out so will be taking vacation until the family leaves.

In the middle of the night, household sims are sleeping, and the visiting sims go to the sidewalk and pop in and out. They have nowhere to sleep so I think they are trying to go home but the Stay Over Guests status keeps pulling them back.

Hayes begins to work on his promotion requirements and work tasks but it is slow going due to his burn out.

The household has more than §1,000 in the bank so they are going to find a swimming pool today. Hayes and Nadine load up all six kids, leaving Hunter and La-ei at home, and head to the poll in Windenburg. Today is the Summer Holiday holiday that was added to the calendar. Once they arrive at the pool, Hayes calls Hunter and La-ei and asks them to join.

The traditions for this holiday are Water Fun, Grilling, and Fireworks. He is only concerned with his family having a good holiday, so once they get to gold, he sends them home. After the pool party, Henry and Nadine are sent home. Hayes takes Harper and Hogan to the park in Oasis Springs where he grills potatoes for dinner. This works for Harper and she is sent home. It also worked for Hayes but he still needs to shoot off some fireworks for Hogan. They try adding fireworks to the park but he can’t keep Hogan close to watch. Then I realize he can buy them from the computer.

Back at home he buys some fireworks and sets them up in the back yard. Hogan is exhausted and so is Hayes and it is a struggle to keep Hogan out long enough to watch, but eventually it happens. Hayes set off four different fireworks and Hogan watched three of them.

Hogan has a great holiday (everyone did thanks for Hayes) and now both he and Hayes are going to bed.

Hayes doesn’t even care about the rest of the household any more. He heads to bed and crashes not to be seen until tomorrow.

A reminder of the family tree. These are the sims that are staying in the house now.

Hayes comes out of hibernation and tucks himself into his office. Nadine is not that impressed that he is hiding from his family.

I want them to leave so badly. At some point, Hayes convinced his dad to get a job, and he did. He is a Part-Time Manual Laborer. He also tried with La-ei but she hasn’t gotten a job. Probably never will.

While the family destroys the rest of the house, Hayes begins working on his skills. He needs to improve two more skills to level 8 for his required aspiration and he needs to work on his skills for his work promotions. He also needs to start planning for his second aspiration.

On Sunday he heads down for the Flea Market to see if they might have MySims trophies today. He has not even begun collecting those. Thankfully that is optional, but he would like to try. They don’t but he enjoys the quiet time out of the house.

Hayes was able to scold Harper for the mess and he made her clean it up.

The guests are gone. The house is quiet. Now for the recovery. Hayes has been taking days off from his career to deal with the family, and now he can focus on the career again.

The guests leaving was confirmed when Hunter shows up and knocks to come inside, and Hayes had the option to Send Home. Yippee!!!!

Monday the children bring home projects. Hayes sets them out and then influences each one to start their project. Only Harper gets her started the first time.

Harper also starts her homework without being asked. She doesn’t finish it, but she does start it.

Finally, the boys have their started but Hayes does not have any time to work on them.

He tries but he is exhausted.

Nadine is actually glitched but I won’t realize it until she has sat here for a long, long time.

This has been a hard week for the kids. None of them have a normal sleep scheduled. Hayes tries by putting them to bed in the evening, but then they wake up having to pee or eat and they never go back to bed.

Seriously?!? Hayes does not get pregnant but he is coming to the acceptance that he probably won’t complete the optional goals. So, he might quit his job and just focus on his aspirations and earning enough simoleons to finish the house. It is really close, just needs about §5,000 in decorations.

He did it. He quit the Salaryperson career and found a job as a Live Chat Support Agent in the Tech Guru career. He is going to become an eSports Gamer. That also means his target skills are Video Gaming and Programming, only. Those, along with Handiness, are the only skills he is going to work on. That should complete Renaissance Sim and then Computer Whiz.

About Teresa 1059 Articles
I have been playing Sims since August 2005; a member, then a moderator, and now an admin of Boolprop.net since October 2006. My sister is the one that hooked me on Sims in the beginning. She had all of the original Sims games and one week while I was on vacation I took her games and started playing. That was the beginning of my obsession. I played Sims 1 for about a month and then decided to buy Sims 2. When Sims 3 was released I made the move and have never looked back. Now I am all in on Sims 4 and still loving it.
