Gosh yes it's Sims 3 picspam

Lee's LTW says raise five children from baby to teen, so I'm not sure if the game counts it as him having raised his adult son or not. So I gave them the fifth through adoption just to be sure, but now Charlie is rolling wants for another baby and I am still thinking.. should I let her adopt another?

I have aging on normal, but that is helping in away as kids age reasonable fast so there is variety and I see how they change, plus it's pushing me to complete these LTW's as fast as I can. I think before I had the life span on longer and that's when I got bored. Only downfall is the turn elder a bit too fast. All that enforced maternity leave isn't helping. I wonder what bright spark decided to enforce 6 whole days of maternity leave. *gnash teeth*

You do know you can take anyone to the cake whenever you want?

;D Lee's son counted, but then Sam was still a baby when he married Rema,(My Sim that married Leighton Sekemoto!)I have not played that Hood for a while it has all the Eaxis families played in it! He went permaplat & got a shiny plaque on the panel we play from! Rema had two sets of twins, last I played they had another baby, & the youngest two were teens,whom dotted on the toddler(BOY!) I have more boys than girls in my game!(Lee was permaplat before the sixth one, he got that at the twins birthday!)

[joandsarah]

Yes and no. I should have turned off aging and done that with the kdis, but it didn't occur to me until it was too late. Again I think it's I'm too use to waiting until I get the pop up. I did age up the youngest born a couple of days early as he had all his toddler skills.

Nice and nasty surprises!

Charlie finally got to go back to work for the first time since the middle of adulthood.

Stupid maternity leave.


Surprise number one. When she left a cop picked her up!


So I had heard about this, but that's another first for me.
They get options of what to do while they're in jail, including play dominoes?

"This joint could use some purple paint"


She was dead beat by the time she came home, but looks good in her 'work outfit' for an old lady I think.

Their youngest baby Lachlyn grew into a toddler.

Second surprise, do you see it?


He got both Charlie's hair and eyes!




Due to having two toddlers in the house, Lachlyn and the adopted one. I decided to age Lachy up a couple of days early. He had all his toddler skills so this makes it a little easier. I miss toddler blankets!


Not quite as cute as Jason, but the hair and eyes make up for it.
He is an athletic bookworm who sleeps lightly. Lol an interesting combination.


I haven't changed lachlyn’s clothes and he even comes with pink shoes!

"I would like to adopt a child.."

"What! No room!"

Yep eight household limit, lol something else I've gotten use to not having!
Oh what about the first adopted baby you ask? Or maybe not, but I have to spice this up somehow don't I.


Melissa. Jade is very keen on feeding and snuggling her. Jade is a clumsy unlucky neurotic. Poor girl. Those three don't sound good together at all. But she is also handy. maybe that will help cancel out the unlucky when she fixes things?


Those eyes looked weird when she aged up though!


But looked better once she got moving. Melisa is so far a friendly athlete.


her default sleepwear has sleeves to match Charlie's hair!

For a not so nice surprise Cameron has somehow lost his excitable trait and is only showing 3. Evil, mooch and virtuoso. How could he have lost a trait?!

[Deleted]

Aw.
Lachy is adorable! So is Melissa! Pinches toes and cheeks

[Aussie Karima]

;D How cute, I love the children, the adopted one Melisa looks very happy too, & Jade is a very gorgeous teen & despite her traits is very helpful with the littler ones!

I squealed when I saw the purple hair & eyes!& he got pink sneakers too!You will have to give him some purple cloths, to complete the look!

[joandsarah]

And Lachlyn was their last genetic baby too. I really wasn't expecting it at all. Jason's blond hair was a surprise too. And you're right I should go and give him purple clothes. I really like Jade, of course being the only girl helps, but she is nice and I do feel sorry for her with me spinning up those traits.
Did you see my bit at the bottom about Cameron?

Thanks Ashley, I think they are pretty cute too.

[Aussie Karima]

;D I think you can change traits by the way you bring them up! A neglected child will always fair the worst, I do not know much about it,(Failing!) because I get my Sims to teach them what they need, from the beginning, which starts with both parents reading the pregnancy books, with each pregnancy! then toddler training, which also includes,reading to them, or leaving the books on the floor for them to read themselves,there is quite a few,for them to read, so having the longer toddler stage helps,otherwise it just would not happen!

[Tina ☺]

Love the pics, Jo! LOL... it's funny to see them get arrested! Didn't you see when Sawyer got arrested the other day in my pic spam? That was the first time I'd seen it happen too.

I have no clue about Cameron. I can't even remember which one he is. lol

[joandsarah]

karima So long as they have those 3 toddler skills you can choose their traits. But I'm not choosing I am randomizing. What they get is the luck of the dice. I do have a couple of toddler books, but do you think I remember those? Nope.

Did I reply to it Tina? because I don't remember it.. but that doesn't mean much.
I wouldn't expect you to remember them all, even I forget their names. Cameron is the eldest of Charlie and Lee's kids. Brown hair and purple eyes. I only noticed he had lost his excitable trait and had three when I was checking Jade's and noticed she had four traits.

Just had to show you Jason aged to teen.

As a kid


Those shoes really set off that outfit Jason.


Wooee!

Of course he had to roll dislikes children!

[valpre1983]

I don't blame Jason for disliking kids considering his whole life he was surrounded by siblings :-)

[joandsarah]

Did you notice the picspam above that Val? I was wondering if that's why he chose that trait. So hot or not?

[Tina ☺]

I think he has some nice features. He is pretty good-looking as far as TS3 sims go.

[Aussie Karima]

;D He definitely has good looks going for him, he is going to have all the girls swooning over him!(I know they do it in Sim3 as my new Balin is getting a lot of attention like that from the ladies!)
~ Yes he is HOT!(A blond Asian!cute!)

[jillyson]

Jason turned out to be a hottie! But you know my fav is gonna be little Lachy with his purple-ness! I'm so glad you got one! If you're doing an heir, it HAS to be him! Melissa is cute, too - she looks very happy.

To set your hood to static, you go into the dots where you save, select options, select game options, and then turn off story progression. Then each house will remain as you left it.
