Amylu, this was a fabulous chapter!!!!
The relationships are so real - I love the interactions - even when usually happy Shaun came home shook up and irritable from the horrors of his job. I love that Latane finished his Grandpa's book, and his relationship with Felicity is sure going to cause some drama! The fight at the end with Penny & Cale was just as realistic - you really get to the heart of the characters, and the things the say and do are exactly in line with their personalities! This story is so well-written, you could make it 200 sldes and I'd love every single one!
Now for the cute stuff - those kids are all so cute! I love each and every one! Choosing an heir will be hard. Will you do a poll, and if so will it only be on boolProp?

Lovely chapter to read with my morning coffee Amylu. I'll leave you a proper comment on BP later.

;D Jilly: Thanks, I re-read it before I uploaded it and was worried some parts were sketchy or a bit fast, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love all the talking my sims do and I've been wanting to set a lot up with this chapter, I'm so happy you liked all the relations, there's so many Psychologist kids now that I didn't want to lose all the conversations with needing to fit them all in! I was so happy the day Latane brought Felicity home from school, it set up so much possibility and I have a scenario for whatever happens in the heir poll. Either way it'll be a massive drama point. ;D I'm also glad the argument came across okay, I've never really written one before and didn't want it to sound forced or disjointed. Thanks so much for your lovely comments, I always have a panic right before I upload these chapters that something doesn't sound right or doesn't fit, so I'm always happy to get nice comments. And yay for the kids being cute! Last generation Bandura was my favourite and it showed, but this time around I want all three of them to be heir! I'm thinking of doing an heir poll on boolprop and an heir poll on here and then adding the results, I think that's what Jo does for hers? Thanks again for reading Jill. Jo: Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed the chapter. I'll be back on boolprop after work and thanks in advance for the comment. Right now it's midnight, so I'm off to bed!

I think I did the poll at BP and put up a link here for people to go vote over there. I've only done one pole before. Most of the DD members are members of Bp too, just that they hardly post over there.

Oh! What a good chapter Amylu! I love the gifts Frued and Heidi left for the family. Yay! for Don being Donnie's hero. Do I sense Don mellowing a bit in his old age?
I love the relationship this family has. It's nice to see you mking an effort to keep them connected.
OMG Latane and Felicity are SOOOOOOOO cute! i really hope it works out for them. I will also enjoy the DRAMA that is bound to come from their Love.
Oh my, Penny and Cale's fight! Serious stuff! It looks like Marie is understanding a little better how her brother feels. Is it to late for Penny?

Oh, wow. What a shocking cliffhanging ending I'm dying to see what happened to Penny. Can't you cancel your holiday to France Pretty Please? This was amazing Amy. I think my fav chapter so far. The family dynamics are so realistic. It was nice of Zoe and Freud to leave pressies for the family. Latane grew up well. He's cute. Now I'm dying to know what's going to happen with Felicity. I sense Drama coming right up ;D And that horrible,mean Marie; guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree after all

Holley: I didn't want to leave Freud and Zoe's bed there forever, so I thought the best idea would be to put something big in its place, and I saw that piano on TSR and had to have it! ;D Donnie adores Don and I wish I could have fitted more in from that house, it's such an interesting one to play. Don has definitely changed with old age, and I'm still making the decision as to whether to keep him and Nina or let them go as Deanna and Oatley will be elder too in a couple of chapters. The hardest part with all the kids was getting them all to meet, there's such an age gap between Latane and Isaac (oldest and youngest, just) I was so glad of the schoolbus friend drop, it did half the introductions for me. Much drama for Latane and Felicity in the future, but it was after all, completely Latane's choice to be friends with her. I'd forgotten about Felicity until he brought her home from school, and it all went from there. Penny will always be Penny, but she'll still be willing to learn, especially as Marie is having to as well. I was so glad Marie got Penny's nice point, it's made for so much plot in that house, and there's much to come. Karima: I love this generation of kids and they're all so different in personality; even if they did all get Zoe's nose! But yes, I agree they are cute, and I can't wait to see what the rest of them look like as teenagers. Val: I'm not used to doing cliffhangers, but it was nice to do something different and leave some intrigue for next chapter! I'm hoping to upload at least half of chapter 15 before France, so some of the plot should be resolved...but I could always leave that on another cliffhanger. ;D I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter Val, it was one of my favourites to write too, and I'm glad it wasn't too long to read. The family are so close in-game that I can't help but put that across in my chapters, and I always look forward to writing more about them. Latane grew up better than I thought he would, although he does get quite a bit from Shaun, and he and Felicity are super cute, and they have a lot of plot to get through in future. Marie is definitely more overtly mean than Penny and although I felt bad for putting poor sweet Isaac through all that trouble, I'm glad I could show that Marie got Penny's mean streak...although anyone can change if given the chance. ;D

So much stuff going on in this great chapter! BTW I like that they are longer LOL @ Penny and Newton's third law. And twins again! Serves her right So sad that Felicity and Latane can't be together...yet. I know my vote is not going to be for him. Unlike Felicity's Mom, I can't stop the love. LOL @ Piaget offering himself in place of Latane. Amylu you have such insite into people. you'll make a GREAT Phychologist in RL.

Karima: Who knows, the young love may still blossom, just a bit later than it would have normally. I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses in the heir poll, and so glad it isn't up to me! ;D That bunny smiley made me laugh so much! As I originally planned for Penny and Cale to have one child, four is a bit of a surprise, but at least Cale becomes perma plat now, as his LTW is to graduate three kids from college, and all 4 of the kids will be going. Thanks for reading! Holley (and Jo too), I replied to you on boolprop. ;D

I go MIA for two days and I come back to find so many awesome updates. I'll get to this Amy when I get home *Edit* Amazing chapter Amy ;D Good to see Penny and Cale have sorted out their problems. And yay to the new additions to the family. If Penny doesn't watch out she might just fulfill Cale's family sim want I know who I won't be voting for in the heir poll Felicity is wise beyond her years and its amazing how much insight she has on Latane. I was sad when their romance ended before it even began. But if it does happen they end up together he'll be lucky to have her for a wife. She's so different from her mom but I can see why Arielle would want to protect her daughter. It's just a complicated situation for everyone I know who I won't be voting for in the heir poll though

;D Val: Cale's main LTW is to graduate 3 kids from college, so Penny's granted that want, but right after Thomas and Jamie were born, he rolled the impossible '10 children' want - and that's not happening! It seems everyone is agreed about Latane, and I can't blame you all. He is cute with Felicity, and once the heir poll's over he'll be an intellectual and romantic equal to Felicity- they are so sweet together, bless them. The scene with Piaget and Felicity was possibly the most confusing one I've ever written, I was just sitting here going 'argh, this situation is so difficult and confusing'! I'm so looking forward to writing next chapter, though, I still have more to add before the heir poll. ;D Thanks for reading Val!
