Gen. 7 almost ends before it begins

We now have Dustin at the well. He's already married, so it better not be for love. They've got plenty of money. Must be for friends. Dustin just got a new Career.

Oh crap. I saw the flames and called DH over hoping to see Mrs. Crumplebottom climb out. She never did. *pouts* Three angry people showed up. I hurried up and canceled the interactions.

The caption reads (in my own words) that I let her stay out in the sun and now she's overheated. (All she did was jump on the bed.) If I don't cool her down, the social worker will come. So I send her outside for a bit in the freezing cold. Hey, can't be a bad parent now, can I?

Dustin makes a good wish this time.

Three friends show up.

The stove's on fire and yet she's worried about her butt looking big in that bathing suit. Yes honey, I suggest a stair stepper.

So she's outside cooling off. The pics are slightly out of sequence here, it wasn't more than an hour apart. Another pop-up telling me I'm horrible for letting her freeze. Would they make up their minds?!?

Last day of winter, I decide to postpone it one more day and have Christmas.



WHAT???? Didn't even realize it until the pop-up came about the businesses transferring. Yeah, that's my Vampire.

One down, one to go.

So Frost decides to bring back my vamp.



Same day she died. This is how long I had her before she ashed on me. I reset the timer.

So, now we're going to have Christmas Eve.

Stockings hung by the chimney with care.

Front yard decorated, but as in real life this past Christmas, I was too lazy to put lights on the house, lol.

Karen, I wouldn't pet that if I was you.

Mistletoe hung and an option for Holiday Kiss comes up.

I was really thinking more than just a kiss would happen. I don't know, maybe he'd sweep her off her feet. Or the cut scene, perhaps. Nope, he just kisses her.

Santa shows up.

An goes for a swim. Hey Santa, nice speedo.

A nice meal of Santa Cookies on the snow covered patio.

SANTA!! That's not a nice thing to say about Shelby, I mean even though she is a little fast and everything.

The race car is left by Santa.

An evil snowman! I've never seen that!

Look at his pitchfork! ROFL!

Allysa doesn't find it too funny. She decides to knock down the snowman.





Where did that pitchfork end up??

PERFECT GARDEN score.

Matthew grows up.

Dustin gets to the top of the lawyer career.

Matthew moves out...

..and takes Amanda with him.

Three blogs now and I just barely let them have they're first woo-hoo.

Bye-bye kitty. That's the last one, YAY!!

Dustin gets to the top of the Gamer career.

A hot tub fire?

Phew! The three Sims got out okay.

NO!!!! Not SHELBY!!! She's the mother of the 7th Generation HEIR! Spotaneous Combustion. I let their temps get up too high.







We got her put out.

JUST IN TIME!


Then we get the hot tub fire out.

OFB Drudgery

So Frost is all grown up now. He runs over to the wishing well to wish for...

What else, Love.

Frost, you may want to rethink that, she's a little fast.

Alright, I see how you are. Okay, fast it is.

First sight, first kiss, engagement and wedding all within 6 hours. If either of you were romance sims, I'd be really worried right now.

Frost gets into the garden club.

Frost and Dustin head into Bluewater to get some badges. Here or Else Grocery. At first, I was just trying to get Dustin his, since he didn't have them yet. Then I got smart and realized that more than one sim could work on badges at the same time. Frost gets invited later on.

Dustin's water need was a little low.

I thought this little action was due to love desparation, I found out later, it's just random.





She loves him!



Guess she changed her mind.

Guess we need some help, time to call Frost in.

Water desparation.



Not very exciting.

Here or Else gets to Rank 10 and nobody has a stocking badge yet.

We move onto Van Dough Gallery where Frost works on his Sales badge. He had a want to blow pollen as a prank.







Great way to make friends Frost, lol.

FINALLY after getting two shops to rank 10, Dustin gets his gold stocking badge. He did a little cashiering at Here or Else but the rest of the time he was stocking. It took forever!

Van Dough hits rank 10 right after the badge is earned.

Frost still needs his stocking badge so we move onto Rameriez Fine Furnishings. My sims keep getting locked up at the register, I'm not sure why. They're there, they're not stuck, and eventually they fix themselves. That's okay, I'm really not trying for Rank 10 businesses anyway. I'm just trying to get badges. The Rank 10 is just be default.

By Rank 8, Frost has his stocking badge. Much, much faster than the last two heirs.

Back at the ranch, Frost gets a little Orangeaid for a toymaking boost.

Aurora becomes an adult and moves out on her own with my other PlantSim Daisy. I don't need their aspirations for a plat. collection.

Amanda becomes a child. Unfortunately, she's an unneeded spare as well and she'll follow in Aurora and Daisy's footsteps.

The Wellington household with a fine dusting of snow.

This is my OFB Wall of Achievement. As previously stated, I'm not actually trying to get the businesses to Rank 10, it's just happening in the course of the badge earning. The shops are pretty much on autopilot and Van Dough actually received a good review AND the Best of the Best, lol. These are the deeds of the shops that have reached Rank 10.

Petina's Pet Retreat (the original Gen. 1 business)

Club Dante

Electronics SuperStore

Here or Else Grocery

J'Adore Bakery

Just Flowers and More

Van Dough Gallery

Everytime a shop gets to Rank 10, the household buys a new one. Then Generation 10 is going to sell them all for a major profit.
