1.6 - Household changes

Let's start this chapter with a cozy kitchen fire.

Nobody can really cook in this house (yet!) so I just feed everyone quick meals, but that's what happens when you don't pay attention for a second.

Nooo, not the laptop! I need that one!

Why does everything Emilio touches go up in smoke today? He had to make inappropriate forum posts again...

At the end of the last chapter Maya moved in, who is our author and will also earn the bookstore for us. It might already be generation 2 by the time this happens though. I hope she can concentrate on her writing next to Eve ranting!

I also reaaaaally want Maya to have children because I love her genetics, but I'm all out of children rolls and at the time of her moving in she's 17 days away from aging into elder while Camilo is 18 days away from becoming YA (I did the math). So I hope to get her pregnant riiight before gen 2 takes over and Camilo moves out. That's within the rules, right? The baby would only come when it's no longer my active household!

She's writing sports books, not because that makes any sense for her character, but because those are the most profitable per page. This is not a story-driven legacy!

Her hobby for the "Hobby or Obsession?" roll is fishing for multiple reasons. One is that she came with the angler trait and loves the outdoors, which would already be enough of a reason. Second is we're living on a boat, so I think fishing makes sense for her. And third is that Camilo's partner in generation 2 will have to max cooking and gardening and those skills go well with fishing so I might as well catch some in advance.

Speaking of Camilo's partner: just like Emilio he will make his imaginary friend (Puzzle) become real. I'm hoping for some whacky hair/eye colors!
Maya has found her future partner at the mailbox, bringing her copies of the books she has written. Obligatory vanilla face makeover:

I feel like the first thing I do on every vanilla face is to make the lips thicker. Why are they so awfully small by default?

 Emilio has aged into a young adult. He and Jelly Bean have the world's fastest wedding and then move out into the same houseboat where his father Brooks lives (at least for now).

Sorry, I'm so lazy, I didn't even bother changing their clothes or hair :(
But we'll come back to them later; I have played ahead and can confirm they do make very cute children.
Aaaand this is Camilo as a teen:

He'll be the heir because I didn't want to go into generation 2 so early. He maxed his logic skill during childhood and eventually figured out how to make Puzzle real. Now, I forgot to give the doll a boy/girl name when Camilo was a toddler so up until this point I wasn't sure if Puzzle would be a male or female sim.

 She's a girl! And to my big surprise she's not a vanilla face for once! I kept her like that, no makeover needed. I like the chubby cheeks and the little belly.

Same hair color as Jelly Bean (they could be sisters, really), but this time we got a cool eye color as well. I think she's cute.

Yeah, they're cute.
Since Camilo has already maxed his logic skill in his childhood, athletic is the next skill to work on.

From there on I could go two ways: only max paiting (he needs it anyway for stylist career) and get a police department for my island, or work on charisma and get the school/stadium combo. I'd much rather have a school in town but charisma is quite hard with the relationship requirements!

These notifications came with only 8 sim hours in between. Brooks was already reaaally old at this point so he won't see his youngest son grow up :'(
At this point I'm a little bit bummed that they are both boys again because this town seriously needs some women if we eventually want to have a native island population without always calling for service NPCs!

 This is William, Brooks' youngest. He's not related to Camilo or any of his future children so that's good.

And below is Emilio's first son Fred. Clearly has his nose and lips, and, I believe, Jelly's eyes?

I actually installed some toddler CC hair right after this because I'm really sick of all my toddlers having the same hairstyle...

I ended the last chapter with some silly dancing so let's do that again! Here's Maya and her boyfriend Antwon (mail carrier).

Maya can only become pregnant once because of her age, but since they're completely unrelated to the Adamaz line their future child(ren) will be potential spouses!
