Drifting Along, House 017.3

Information

July is the month of SimNaNo over at the Boolprop forums.

What is SimNaNo, you ask? 
Well, it’s a writing month, akin to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). A lot of our forum members are avid writers in one way or another: stories, challenges, or just updates on our Sims – so we thought, why not have a way to challenge ourselves in the way that the writers of NaNoWriMo do? Thus SimNaNoWriMo was born (shortened later to SimNaNo or SimNo).

The goal is to spend an entire month devoted to one story, challenge, or family of yours and play them as much as possible to get out as many updates as you can!

We set goals, we play some games, we earn medals – it’s all in great fun!

Anyone can participate, you don’t need to be a writer or have any experience whatsoever with it. We have several different ways you can join us!

Heidi goes in to check on Bianca and finds her laying on the floor. Umm, okay.

I am not going to talk about how much shit Beauty leaves in the house.

Heidi spends the day with Bianca and enjoys holding her while she sleeps. Since Bianca is a Snuggly Sleeper, she sleeps better when being held.

Heidi will have to check the house out later to see if Beauty left any more piles somewhere.

Time to wake up. Bianca needs some food and she really needs a bath. Her diaper is clean but she is not.

Bianca has learned to sit up. She still has not had her bath though.

Heidi tries to teach her to stand but Bianca is not having it.

Heidi was so exhausted she put Bianca down on the mat and went to bed. Sage was exhausted when he came home from work and went straight to bed. So, Bianca sleeps on the mat tonight.

Bianca has her first blowout and no one is happy about that.

She finally gets that bath she has been needing though.

So many milestones are being reached. There will be a list at some point, I am sure.

Sage is a good daddy and regularly feeds Bianca.

He is not so good at cleaning her up. He was trying to change her diaper and then aborted the attempt, leaving her really smelly.

Heidi was finishing up some of her tasks and then she was able to get Bianca all nice and clean and ready to poop on herself again. Which she did about 30 minutes after getting changed.

Chickens. Don’t ask. Actually, Heidi read somewhere that a Golden Chicken would help improve the quality of her crystal tree. In order to get a Golden Chicken, she needs a Golden Treat. Then she heard that she could trade a chicken for a random treat and sometimes it would be golden. She she bought 8 chickens. She will buy them one day, keep them to the next day, and then trade them for treats. At least once.

The tree was full grown but reset to a sprout. ./sigh She also got a beehive as they are supposed to help fertilize the growing tree.

Today is Bianca’s birthday. She has had a great time as an infant, reaching 20 milestones.

Heidi makes Bianca a cake and it is time to blow out her candles.

Great. Bianca is Fussy.

The new little chamber pot is adorable for what it is.

Bianca has had a very busy day. There was a problem with one of the decorations I added to her room so they couldn’t get her into the bed.

Finally figured it out and Heidi was able to read her to sleep. Of course then she delivered two quirks – Light Sleeper and Hates to Wakeup.

Trying to get Bianca back to sleep.

Bianca is not controllable so she will be choosing her own activities. I am not going to push Heidi to level Bianca’s skills, so whatever Bianca learns is what she learns. No stress, at the moment.

Good morning to you too.

Fussy little Bianca has a fussy little temper. She destroys the dollhouse a lot.

While my focus is on Heidi for now, Bianca and Sage do their own thing. I caught him teaching her to talk in the kitchen. Aren’t they just the cutest?

Temper, temper, temper. Not only does she destroy the dollhouse, she also throws a lot of tantrums.

Of course, she also has her moments of being forgotten in the high chair. Oops.

Sage is home and Bianca is on her way out to see her daddy.

Sage goes right past her and loves on Beauty. Oops.

Ahh, finally Bianca gets her hugs from Sage.

Apparently Bianca wasn’t a bath because Sage carries her directly to the bath. That is good because she was exuding green fumes.

Heidi is still working on her jewelry and is finally making progress once again on her aspiration. Waiting on the crystal tree is excruciating.

Bianca is trying to talk with Beauty, but Bianca can’t actually talk yet. Of course, neither can Beauty.

Changing the diaper doesn’t really help with the hygiene.

I haven’t checked Bianca’s skills recently, probably should.

Beauty is an adult horse now. Beauty-Full

Heidi gets on Beauty’s back – her first time actually getting on a horse. They go for a long leisurely ride around the block.

Sage is always willing to put Bianca in the high chair and feed her. He doesn’t always remember to let her out of the high chair once she is finished eating.

Heidi crafted a crystal gnome. That is cool.

They are both exhausted. It was a race to see who would pass out first. Heidi won. Checking the calendar and Bianca will have her birthday in 2 more days. Woo!

Heidi has completed her house requirements while personally she still wants to complete the Crystal Crafter aspiration. She has to Summon the Grim Reaper and she will be done. So within the next few days. The necklace in the middle is the Jet Plumbob necklace that she will use once it is fully charged.

I am so over the plants in this game. The crystal tree jumps from full grown with harvest to a sprout daily. Sometimes it changes more than once.

Heidi randomly paints if the easel is empty, which is fine. She is creative and she sells everything on Plopsy.

Bianca is up and helps herself to food from the buffet.

The leftovers are put into the fridge so they only have to fill the buffet once or twice a week.

Beauty needs a quick makeover to matcher her forelock to her mane. She also gets an updated riding outfit and is able to enjoy an outfit free daily look.

Heidi summons Grim. He is not here for any other reason.

Scary sight to see. Even if he was invited and is not here on business.

While Heidi wasn’t going to stress over Bianca’s skills, she is only one level short of having everything to level 3, so Heidi pesters Bianca for several back to back sessions of flash cards. Bianca was resistant every time but Heidi succeeded in getting her to level 3.

Then Heidi passed out. At this point, Bianca is about to become a child and Heidi has completed her aspiration.

About Teresa 1178 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.
