Winter 1, Tortall 1

Welcome back to the Tortall Family! When we last left off Uline and Ulasim had just aged to teenager.

Currently Uline is playing catch with Tkaa.

Winter 1, Pangalan 1

Welcome back to the Pangalan Family, home of the Name Game Challenge. When we last left the Pangalans, Quy had married Ivy and Ivy was pregnant.

Ivy working on her Creativity and painting of her masterpiece while on maternity leave. 

Winter 1, Silva 1

Welcome back to the Silva family! When we left off the child twins had just learned to study from the teen twins and Thad was working on skilling to get promotions.

Attempting to get skills up in the Silva family by having them fix meals and fix things as they happen instead of having Thad do it. 

Winter 1, Montes 1

Welcome back to the Montes family! In the last update the Montes got their Green business up to level 10 opening a position in both Business and Natural Science.

Stephen enjoying his last few days as a child and getting his aspiration as high as possible.

Winter 1, Allen 1

Welcome back to the Allen family! In the last round not a whole lot happened. Rhett got a job in Law and the toddlers aged to children.

Sean is working on his charisma as this round everyone seems to be rolling wants to learn charisma, even the children.

Winter 1, Hardy 1

Welcome back to the Hardy family. We left the house the triplets had been kids for a few days and the family was getting into a rhythm.

Elijah and Saul playing chess.

Faye and Lance pillow fighting one night in their pajamas.

And it was about here that I got fed with Loren’s inability to make friends. So I went to look at her interests to see which ones she liked that may have been in common with Saul and noticed that she was glitched with her interests. She had 0 interest in all but 2 out of 18 interests and those were below 5.

So I found out the average range for each interest for kids and randomized her interests. I also discovered while finding out that range that Marcelo Silva was also affected. He’s been corrected.

Faye studying Charisma in order to progress up the Law career.

With Faye and Lance confined to their coffins during the day, it is up to the triplets to make friends for Faye to a large degree.

Another round of pillow fighting.

Marcelo Silva came home from school one day with Saul.

And so did Codi Allen with Elijah.

And I have instituted a new rule that if a Sim brings a Sim home from work or school, they become friends with them.

Codi ended up playing chess with Saul before she left for the day.

Elijah and Loren doing what they can do to increase the friend count.

Lance and Faye increasing their skills.

Lance also helping out with the friend count. She wasn’t being cooperative with the kids.

And that’s it for this season.
