13.5 Boston - No Toddler
The Boston family is of American origin and consists of:
Imogene Boston, Family/Fortune adult, LTW to celebrate Golden Anniversary. She works as a Business Tycoon in the Business career. She owns Boston Pharmacy, level 2 pharmacy (!)
Oskar Boston, Family adult, LTW to become Education Minister. He works in the education career as a Substitute Teacher
Patrick Boston, child
Qiara Boston, baby
Harry and Luna, the terriers
Ozzy, the womrat
The lot’s value is 230.739§, and the weekly tax is 23.074§
The week starts with Oskar, coming home promoted to Elementary school Teacher. And Patrick has better grades.
Patrick is a bit chubby from all the good food his Family parents stuff him with. He’s a very nice boy, who plays a lot with the family animals. We still wonder how old a womrat can get - it’s the same one who has resided in this house for generations
Then it’s time for Qiara to become a toddler
Imogene seems as inspired by toddler training as the SimGodess
Patrick needs training, too, to learn how to study
Oskar gets demoted to Substitute Teacher again due to a bad chance card, but he’s happy anyway, since he’s a Family sim and just had some other good news:
Imogene is finally pregnant again on Thursday - they have been trying all week
This is a gaming family, and they start Qiara’s next birthday party with a game of Don’t wake the llama
A last close-up of toddler Qiara
And a first picture of child Qiara
She soon finds that she fits right into this family - she’s got Games as her true hobby
Then we find that Patrick’s grades are slipping!
Oskar looks very worried about that fact, and it completely erases the happiness he might have felt by becoming Elementary School Teacher again
Luckily it’s Patrick’s birthday and we won’t risk having him taken away. Aunts, uncles and cousins cheer him on
Dieter is Imogene's brother Frank's son and Heather is her sister
Oskar is a custom townie and has a family tree too
Patrick chooses the Popularity aspiration and gets an LTW to become a General like his grandfather Regis. That is very possible in Birka, where we have the big Military facility Muskö.
Since Imogene is still pregnant and Oskar is busy studying for his job, Patrick is a good big brother and teaches Qiara how to study.
Finally on Saturday morning it’s time - Imogene works in the garden when the contractions start.
It’s a girl who gets the name Gwen. She looks like a clone of Patrick and probably is. Time will tell
Imogene is very happy
After Gwen’s birth, the weekend turns out to be calm and relaxed. Terttu Ottomas is visiting and Harry the dog gets some attention
And of course, a game of Don’t wake the llama in your pyjamas
Since Patrick wants a career in the Military when he gets older, he starts working out when autumn comes. He works all night
And incredably fast he’s maxing his body skill - without loosing a pound, which might have been useful, too!
Sunday, Imogene visits her neglected pharmacy in Strängnäs. It’s at level 2 and has had a bad review recently, and she is struggling with the cash register.
At least we reach level 3 this session - that will be enough for this week.
It’s namely time for a birthday again - Gwen is supposed to become a toddler.
Supposed to was the word! Three cakes later, we get no toddler in this house this week - well, well, she’ll grow up by herself next time, then!
