Today Alma and Clay age into seniors. I disregard restrictions on social gatherings and throw a party for them.
You know my track record with parties. They end in heartbreak and contagion. This time, I'm pleased by how excited my Sims are to get together.
Fury sets the tone. He's delighted to be here.

Daisuke takes charge of the music by striking up a tune at the piano.
Then Thomas arrives -- trailing his husband, George, as a walk-by!!
This is the Coronas' first chance to meet George. I direct Clay to invite him in.

George is happy to be included. As soon as he spots Clay heading his way, he breaks into a big smile.
I love this party atmosphere. The guests want to be here!

Nobody has trouble finding the door today.
Anyone for an unfriendly game of chess?
Alma joins Fury, but she's wise to his tricks.

Nose-boop.
One day, Basilio, this will all be yours.

Lark is so good-natured. He tips Daisuke's piano-playing and thinks friendly thoughts.

Good job, founder! You built a home, started a family, and excelled at work.
Time to enter the next phase of your life.

Meanwhile, my SimSelf wanders outside and can't find her way back in.

Phew! Back in time for the main event.
Basilio is already drawing breath to give his Mum a big cheer.
Fury's calculating expression.
My SimSelf is drawn to him across a crowded room. Neither of us can resist him.
Romance Sim Melissa approves.

Looks like Alma isn't aging up without a fight.

Lol, Thomas is bored already. He has such a short attention span.
Making a wish!
I hope I'm shouting something inoffensive back there.

Blowing out the candles.
Thomas is briefly overcome.
Same, l'il Sim. Seems like only yesterday I was making Alma in CAS.

Alma is surrounded by so many loved ones, I can hardly fit them all in the frame.
Oh, I like that look! You may keep it.
Grabbing the first slice. And owning it.
Clay and George are next in line. That chocolate cake looks yummy-in-their-tummies.
Not me, lol. I raid the fridge instead.
'Kay, everybody come back. It's Clay's turn.
Recolorable 'Celebrate anytime' Birthday Cake by Jasana_BugBreeder/MTS
Clay! Whoo, Clay!
Alma's standing right there, George. She can see your attraction-bubble.
Clay confronts elderhood head-on with no hesitation.
*swarm*
Before we go any further -- can everyone see Daisuke's tummy?
Thomas: I'm looking at it right now.
Clay: Seriously? We're doing the tummy joke right now?
I apologize, Clay. Let's finish aging you up.
That's a good look for you, too! Very dapper.
Well done, Clay! Alma and I couldn't have started this legacy without you.
Now that the aging-up is done, we can relax and hang out.
I chat up Basilio.

And Jasmyn gets acquainted with Melissa.
This makes me happy. Melissa Fancey is my favourite pre-made. I hope that they become friends. :)

I spot Fury deep in conversation with George.
Whatever they're talking about, it's a secret.
And shocking.
Lark has been waiting patiently to speak with his best friend, Fury.
Fury is excited to see his ol' pal here.
Lark is even *more* excited.
Ow! Ow! You're pulling my hair.
Meanwhile, the birthday couple enjoy that luscious chocolate cake.
Feeding a bite. You're doing it right.
Scrumptious!
As affectionate as ever.
Daisuke's tummy? Is it still--?
Basilio: Yup. Still here.
Omigosh! Fury is telling *me* the secret!
I'm all a-tingle from standing so close to him.
Fury whispers in ear +500
I am a sophisticated Sim of the world. I laugh at the subject that shocked George.
O-ho-ho! How droll.
How's my breath? Better check.
While I'm distracted, the moment ends. Fury walks away!
Where's my wink? I wanted to snap him winking at me. :(
I feel... bereft.
Whisper Doll: Pinch me, George. I think I've been dreaming.
Lol, I can't stay away from Fury.
Even when he's not so charming.
Clay: Who's not being charming to my wife?
Fury: Hmmm. Didn't catch the fella's name.
I tear myself away long enough to take a bathroom break.
What the--?

George helps himself to the fridge, too.
IIRC George's OTH is fitness. No surprize that he reaches for a healthy snack.
Bag of Peanuts by TheNinthWave
Another funny face from Thomas.
Thomas: You think that's funny? Check out Geo's peanut-face.
That's not funny, Thom. It's scary.
Melissa: Let me at that tummy! It's gonna be mine!
Daisuke: No, no! It's *my* tummy!
I chat with Baz, again. I haven't seen this talk-animation before.
Looks intense. I hope we're still friends by the end of it.
I'm not worried about this convo. Thomas and Melissa are best friends. I'm glad they're spending time together.
Later, I try to talk with Lark. He just wants to mime his replies.
Whisper Doll: Boo! Speak properly.
The game rates the party a Good Time.
I'll say it was. As it ends, Daisuke leaps into Melissa's arms!
I forgot that they were on such good terms from the Bachelorette challenge.
Daisuke: I missed you!
And then she falls in *love* with him! <3
Nice change from break-ups.
Wow! :) That was the best Sim party I ever played. It helps if the Sims are friends with each other, as well as with the hosts.
Coming up: First sign of babies! Sorry it's taking so long for Gen 3 to arrive. My Sims keep giving me good stuff that I want to share!
Thanks for reading!
