The Moncur Dynasty 1.6
In our last episode: Amelie gave birth to Carolina, her sixth and final child, Josie had her first kiss and fell in love with townie teen Will Harris and there was mass incontinence due to the horror of sharing one bathroom between 7 family members. On to week seven...
Carmelita: "Aww... nevermind, Carolina. You can always count on your big sister to pick you up when you fall."
Dan: "Uh-oh! There seems to be a panda in the house!"
Panda: "Is that bamboo?"
Nope. Sorry, Panda. That's just bottle stink.
I promised a picture of Amelie's everyday outfit in this update. There are several, but this was the picture I took specifically for that purpose.
Finn: "Uhh, honey? Do you think you could possibly mop up in here any other time?"
Amelie: "Nope!"
Privacy. She doesn't get it.
Uhh, Nathan, do you realize both single beds are free right now?
Nathan: "Yeah, but here I can enjoy the lovely sunshine and sea breezes."
Fine. Just so you realize it's winter and you could get pretty cold....
Random Townie: "So how about you get over to that stove and make us something to eat?"
Amelie: "Pfft. Have we met?"
Josie: "Brace yourself, Will. Your turn is coming up next!" *sparkle sparkle*
Josie grew up in the green, though maybe platinum since she wanted to grow up well.

And yes, I had Will age up with her. He looks gorgeous in his adult outfit too, but I didn't get a picture this time.
It was most definitely time for Josie to move out. Immediately. As the child who played with Creepy Doll the most, Josie got to inherit Creepy Doll. I also let her take along the chandelier painting and Amelie's old unused tv tray. Bye-bye, Josie. I can't wait to start playing you!
Josie's was not the only birthday. Poor little Carolina's birthday was completely overshadowed by Josie's birthday and subsequent moving out. It's got to be kind of sad when your entire family would rather wave goodbye to your older sister as she leaves in a cab than watch you age up...
Carolina grew up in platinum.
Random stats upon growing up:
Learned to talk from Amelie
Learned nursery rhyme from Amelie
Learned potty chamber pot training from Finn

This is Finn's new friend Hilda. I'd like to say this was all innocent, but it totally wasn't. She could more correctly have been called his new conquest. Age has not mellowed Finn. If anything, he's more rampant with hormones than ever before.
Finn: "Hey, I never realized this mirror could open! So this is where the toothbrushes are!"
Aww, Nathan is such a sensitive young man. He spends most nights gazing out to sea. Wishing he had somebody to watch the waves beside him...
Carolina: "When I grow up, I'm gonna be the first sim to discover a distant planet..."
Nathan: "Eww! You're making crepes for dinner? Gross, Mom!"
Note to self - drinking beer makes Nathan mean!
Amelie: "My poor Josie. Why hasn't she called? Is she okay? Is she lying somewhere hurt and crying for her mommy?"
Relax, Amelie. She's in the sim bin until Monday. She's fine.
Mae: "I'm not much for chess, but I like to pretend I'm one of the queens living in one of the beautiful castles..."
Tactless Townie: "Your husband is hot!"
Amelie: "Yes. Yes, he is. Now forget you ever saw him, sister!"
This isn't really the time for tanning, Finn. You're just gonna get all cold and blue. You may not have noticed, but there's a blizzard....
Dan: "I like to watch the snowflakes showering down on me from above..."
Carmelita decided to start buildling an army of snowmen to deter burglars. It seems to have worked.
Carmelita: "Hey, feel like turning me in to a werewolf? Because I'm pretty sure I'm ready."
Chip: "Maybe next time, kid."
Snow Day! The worst thing about no car is that sim children have to stay home on a snow day even when there are 5 of them! Carmelita spent much of it increasing the numbers of her snowman army.
Snowman: "Yo!"
Finn: "What is this awful nagging pain in my chest? Is it a heart attack?"
It's guilt, Finn. You're feeling guilty about the infidelity.
Finn: "No, no. I'm sure it must be a heart attack. I have nothing to feel guilty about."
Uhh, if you think you're on your way to a heart attack, what's with the pancake breakfast?
Finn: "Oh, I feel just fine now. It must have been a false alarm."
Hilda: "Oooh, Finn. You look so dashing in your winterwear..."
Carmelita: "I will not be held responsible for giving that woman poisoned lemonade..."
Hilda: "So... wanna make out?"
Finn: "Why do none of the women in my life understand about alone time in the bathroom?"
Hilda: "Eww, you should totally put on a dress or something, lady. You are too old to be parading around in your underwear!"
Amelie: "This is my house and I'll wear what I damn well please, little girl. Run along now, I think I hear the school bell."
Amelie: *is still somewhat of a domestic goddess*
Mae: "I'm gonna stay on here as long as I can before I get too dizzy to stand up anymore."
Dan: "I don't know what happened! I followed the recipe exactly...."
Carmelita: "Stop trying to analyze the situation and start putting the fire out before you burn this place to the ground! - Mom! Help! Dan's trying to kill us all!"
Amelie: *saves the day all cool, calm and collected*
Dan: "I'm sorry...."
Carolina: "I'm sleeping with Mommy tonight. She's my hero!"
Finn: *knuckle-snap!*
Mae: "Nobody's gonna watch me age up?"
Melty Snowman: "I'll watch if you put me in the freezer!"
Mae grew up in gold, though it turned out platinum due to wanting to grow up well.

Seems my next community lot will have to be a nightclub to help this little lady out by unlocking the slacker career. She'll have to wait until there are four more playable sims though...
Mae: *gets trigger happy with her finger guns*
I know she gets it from Finn, but she's way worse than he is. Finn occasionally finger guns somebody once every week or so. Mae finger guns everybody she sees every single time she sees them!
Mae: "You're an honor student, Carmelita. Give me the answer to number three!"
Carmelita: "Uhh, I think the whole point of homework is to figure out the answer for yourself, Mae."
Mae: "That's the suckers way! Come on! Help your poor baby sister out!"
Jolie, Finn's newest stalker prospect, likes him so much she watches him while he sleeps...
Dan: *sigh* "At least it didn't catch fire, but how the heck do you burn vegetable soup anyway?"
Aww, you'll get better at it, Dan. Practice makes perfect.
Dan: "It mustn't be that bad. She's eating it! I'm not totally fail!"
Jolie: "Is that... a hair?"
Nathan: *getting in some practice on his rock star strut*
Dan: "So do you think the bombing is over or will we all get wiped out later on?"
Nathan: "Seriously, again with the bombs? Dan, you need to stop obsessing about stuff like that! It's a total downer!"
Amelie: "All my babies are growing up. Soon they'll all fly the coop and leave Finn and me all alone..."
Finn: *turns his charms on Jolie* "Mwah! A kiss for a very pretty lady."
Jolie: "Bahaha! You're so bad!"
Carolina: "Did you see? I got an A+, you know...."
Well done, sweetie.
Alien Eyed Townie: "Oh my god! You guys are so busted!"
Carmelita and Mae brought home these two - the current local teen boy talent. The redhead is a little... awkward looking, but Kim, the brunette, is gorgeous!
Nathan: "Ugh. I just had the most awful nightmare where Carmelita became a rock goddess and I was just a washed up loser like my dad!"
Amelie: "Why have we never woohooed in this room before?"
Finn: "I have no idea, baby, but it's high time we did!"
Amelie, you are so much pretty. I fear your death...
Speaking of pretty, here is a long overdue closeup on Mae. I gave her some very light freckles to match Amelie's, better eyebrows and some adorable baby pink lipstick. After all, she is a romance sim and definitely the kind of girl who worries about how kissable her lips appear.
Dan: "This game takes so much concentration..."
Oh, Dan. You even take chess seriously when you're playing against yourself.
Carolina: "Reach for the sky!"
This is Franz, a little townie boy whom Carolina brought home from school and has instantly become her favorite person in the whole world. He's totally going to become a teen alongside her. She's clearly made her choice already.
Mae: *tickle tickle*
Kim: "Oh, get out! You are too much, girl!"
She's interested, but I took a peek at ACR and it turns out Kim is super gay. He'll just have to wait in the townie pool until I have a similarly inclined sim boy.
Speaking of ACR, Nathan just snagged his very first kiss with his dad's mistress. So very wrong...
Jolie: "That was okay, but your dad is a way better kisser than you are!"
Poor Nathan. I am hating Jolie right now.
Time for Nathan to soak up some rays and get what turns out to be a very awkward looking tan. Seriously, it had untanned streaks around his neck. Not sexy. It still hasn't worn off.
Mae, offering all sorts of unspeakable sexual favors to her new best friend, Kim in the hopes of tempting him. He's gay, Mae! Stop it! You're embarrassing yourself!
Jolie: "I bet you don't have the balls to take me right here on this mattress/couch!"
Finn: "Oh yeah?"
I hate you, Jolie. Poor Carolina in the background saw the whole show. Scarred for life. This was the moment I gave up on Finn as a total loss.
Jolie: "So I've made out with your dad and your brother. Want to be next?"
Dan: "Uhh, no... I'd rather never have my first kiss than have it with my dad's skanky leftovers..."
Carolina: "I can't believe my dad and that lady! Yuck!"
Carolina: "Will you dance with me, Franz? I just want to forget about my life for a while..."
Franz: "Sure, Carolina. Whatever you want."
Dan: "What a curious phenomenon this sparkly ring on the floor is. What can it mean?"
Dan grew up in the green, however, things got very confusing on that point. He also had a want to grow up well, which threw him to platinum, but a fear of never going to college, which brought him down to aspiration failure. No idea what counts there!
Final Grade = A+
Cooking Points = 1
Charisma Points = 6
Body Points = 4
Logic Points = 4
Creativity Points = 2
Cleaning Points = 1
Poor Dan. Not going to college hit him like a tonne of bricks.
Dan's adult outfit. Not great, but then, he was never the most fashion conscious guy anyway. He got to take the second chess table, the calendar and the remote control car and move out immediately.
Finn + Hilda: *woohoo on the trampoline*
I had no idea sims could woohoo via ACR on Vita Sims' Trampoline. They sure can't sit on it. Usually. I was surprised and kinda pleased, even if their legs did impale through the trampoline 80% of the time.
Amelie: "My poor little Dan and Josie. I wonder what will become of them." *worry worry*
Yeah, sadly Amelie's wants are all about her children going to college, private school, or getting a scholarship. She's been in the red since shortly after becoming an elder. All her wants are disallowed in this challenge. She's about ready to snap.
Carmelita: "Psst, Mom! Want me to kick her in the butt for you? I could pretend it was an accident..."
Amelie: "Ooh, my first chess victory! Thankyou, Nathan. That was a lovely game."
Amelie: "I remember when you were such a little guy and I was teaching you to walk..."
Nathan: "Uhh, actually it was Josie who taught me to walk, Mom."
Amelie: "Really? I could swear.... oh well..."
Carolina: "So when we grow up, you totally have to marry me. Promise?"
Franz: "Teehee, you're funny, Carolina!"
Carolina: "He totally will marry me when we grow up... it's gonna be....." *snore*
Franz: "You tell your sister I'm way too young to be thinking about marriage. I don't want my life planned out before I even grow up!"
Nathan: "Look, it's like this, little buddy. You do what she says, because if you break my baby sister's heart, I'll personally break your head. Got it?"
Kim: "You're my favorite person in the whole world, Mae. I don't know what I'd do if you ever died."
Mae: "Booyeah! He loves me!"
As a friend, Mae. He loves boys. You can only ever be friends. I'm sorry, it's just the way it is.
Louisa: "What? No girl can put up resistance forever under this kind of pressure. I love him!"
*sigh* This was always going to happen. It truly was inevitable. I just didn't think it'd be on the trampoline. With Nathan watching.
Nathan: "I did not see what I just thought I saw. I did not see what I just thought I saw."
Finn: "Oh yeah, I would have been the hottest rock star ever if I could have found a start!"
Alien Townie: "I never realized you weren't a rock star."
Carmelita: "Oh, hey sweetie. I know it's more than 12 hours until you age up, but since it's technically already your birthday I made some toaster pastries for you. I heard tell you had a craving...."
Carmelita is such an adorable sister. I wish she was my big sister sometimes....
Amelie: "Do you still think I'm pretty, Finn?"
Ahh, Amelie. She never has got the hang of giving sexy faces....
Tune in next time to see Josie start her adult life and most likely end up with her high school sweetheart, Will. I'm excited about this rotation thing. It'll be nice to play Josie and then Dan and have a break from Finn.
