Lana and Robbie 4--Steal my stuff, will ya?

   Aren't you thrilled to see Lana and Robbie again? oh whatever, atleast I am :) We finally get to see the results of Robert Red's transformation into a teenager!

They even celebrated with a party! (the "celebrated birthday" moodlet is so cute)

Par-tay!!!



 And here he is:

He has Robbie's blue eyes ^^

oooh I love his hair :D

   Greggory Langerak was really weird one day and showed up before school...Daisy May was still in her pajamas...but it's her boyfriend so I made her greet him...



That's Lana coming in from a hospital emergency!



   Since Robbie doesn't go to work untill about 3, and there aren't any babies at home, he's had some free time and has been going to the park a lot. He saw Sam and Mary Lilac one day :)



Aww they went to the park together :)

  And he's been leveling up guitar at the park (Bella watching him)


You're all grown up, Bella!



   There was also a surprise one night when a burglar decided to show up! The Simsies have never had a burgler before...

No! No sneaking in my yard!

Yeah, we have a burglar alarm. Doesn't everyone?

 The police showed up pretty fast, before Daisy May could beat up the burglar...
 

Is that Oliver Heath not liking his little sister?

 And the policewoman won the fight!!!


Yeah watcha say now?!!



That was funny...maybe I'll take away the alarm next time just because Daisy May does have a lot of body skills...

   Robert had a want to go fishing before 6am...one saturday he went to the park and fished!!!!

 

Why are you having a picnic alone in the park at this hour? Run Robbie!

I didn't realize that 5:30 am counted as being out past curfew  D:

You little daredevil



But the only punishment was a scolding from Robbie.

Wait untill Lana sees what HER son did!!! lol Robbie.

   Daisy May's birthday kind of snuck up on me...

Awww yeah party!!!


Daisy's a young adult? That is crazy...

I wonder what I'll do with her now? I was thinking of continueing with her after Lana and Robbie....

Will she be a superstar athlete? Will she marry Greggory? Well, IDK

Lana and Robbie 3--last name Simsie

Once again bringing you the thrilling lives of Lana and Robbie...
And I don't think I've mentioned their last name...it is Simsie  :)

there are now two cars in the yard...

The one in the front is Lana's Margaret Vaguester, and the one in the back is Robbie's VFN Kompensator, which he now has from work (? IDK, they just show up in their backpacks :P). Robbie named his car Catherine, because he is a vehicle enthusiast.

   Oliver Heath has been practicing the guitar, and skilling with the xylophone as a toddler allowed him to skip a few levels.


Gonna be a rock star!!!

 Robert Red read a book to Lenore Berry, making them really good friends.



Sibs gotta stick together!

 Which is good, because (except for Mary Lilac and Daisy May) none the kids have really made friends with each other.
   Daisy May trained Lana in the athletic skill:


Yeah, Lana! you can do it!!!! Lift those weights!

 It actually went pretty well, Lana made it to level two, and then had a want to be at level 4.
   Then Leighton showed up, once again annoying me because he had no reason to be there! None of the Simsies have any relationship with him, so it was already weird he was there.


Eeeewww pit stains!

 But, to top it off, he showed up with gross sweat stains! Robert Red apparently didn't know what to talk about (because he doesn't know you, Leighton!) so they ended up talking about Sam.
   While this was going on, Oliver Heath made an enemy!


I don't like you, Carol!!!!

 Carol Bakshi is Daisy May's BFF, but she was being kinda mean to Oliver, so he declared her a nemesis! He's a "good" sim, so he immediately wanted to apologize, but I didn't let him  >:)
   Lana had an opportunity to prepare some food for Vita Alto, and after delivering it, she found out Vita is evil. Since Lana is good, they had a bit of a conflict.


What? Y-you are evil! :O

 Lana accused Vita of being evil (which is true), but patched things up with an apology. They are actually friends now.
   Lastly, Lenore Berry and Jamie Rose grew into kids!


Lenore Berry!

 Lenore's traits are: absent-minded, loves the outdoors, and over-emotional. I want to make her kind of dreamy and thoughtful.


Jamie Rose!

 Jamie's traits are: brave, slob, and athletic. She'll be my little tomboy :)
They bonded:

 and congratulated each other on growing up:


Wow, that birthday we just had? Yeah...that was awesome!

 Next up: Oliver Red's birthday :O

Lana and Robbie 2--trying to act like adults here!

   So I love the Sims 3, but I do miss one thing from the Sims 2: memories. I always thought memories were really cute and a nice way to keep track of the sims lives. IDK, I'm hoping they'll include memories in one of the future updates :)  other than that, I think I like Sims 3 better than Sims 2....
  
   Anyways...Lana and Robbie are adults now! I had Robbie give up his part-time job for a full-time job at the theater! I got a shock one time when right after he got off work, one of his friends died  :(   Right in front of the theater, too..

   She was Yumi Sekemoto, Sam's grandmother. It was kinda funny though, because the grim reaper got in a taxi after. I was curious, so I followed him; he drove to another home lot, walked into the yard, and disappeared....

   Lana got pregnant for possibly the last time:



Fifth time and he's still freaking out!

They had twin girls! They hadn't had twins yet, so I wanted to try it out. I made her watch Kidzone tv and listen to Kids radio, and it worked! The first girl I named Lenore Berry (Lenore after Lana), and the second I named Jamie Rose. I gave Jamie Rose the athletic and slob traits, and I actually can't remember Lenore Berry's traits. Oh, well...
   Robert Red grew into a child, and I added "angler" to his traits.

You can't tell with his hair so short, but his hair color is actually the same as Lana...I kind of like it :)
   Lenore Berry and Jamie Rose grew into toddlers:

That's Jamie on the left, and Lenore on the right, eating breakfast :)
   Oliver Heath has also grown:

I changed him to this outfit because I wanted him to look a little "rocker", since that is his lifetime wish. IDK, maybe I failed trying, but I still like his outfit. His traits are now: good, brave, good sense of humor, and virtuoso.
   Robbie has been moving up the music career. He is now an orchestra member in the classical branch; I could have done the rock branch, but it just didn't fit him.

He also wants to paint a "brilliant" picture, which I'm thinking should be no problem.


Note the magic sparkles around his paintbrush!

    I also think I'm done building their house:

They aren't going to need it any bigger, but I might make adjustments to the roof. Yeah...not very good with roofs...or landscaping...but I really like the interior :)
BTW that car is a "Margaret Vaguester"; Lana got it after she reached level 10 in the medical career.
   Mary Lilac grew to a young adult, and had a happy surprise:

They were married two days later, at Sam's house.

Lana, Robbie, Daisy May, and Oliver Heath attended the party to see them wed. Afterwards, Lana and Robbie had the "mother/father of the bride" moodlet (+40). Mary Lilac moved in with Sam and his father, Leighton, and I played them for a few days to see how they were doing. Mary talked with Lana on the phone,

and then I gave her a makeover.

She also got a job in the political career track, replacing her part-time job at the spa. Something that's neat in the Sims 3 is that you can see a sims job history :) It shows that Mary made it to level 3 at the spa.
   Have I mentioned how I don't like Leighton? Ugh I think he's a real creep! His bio says: "Leighton is an aspiring professional athlete who makes time for his son but doesn't think he has time to look for love." No time for love? He has a girlfriend and a love interest! He wants to get married, but I wouldn't know who to set him up with! He has a higher relationship with his love interest (Monika Morris) than his girlfriend (Tori Kimura). But the ultra creepy/awkward thing is that his girlfriend is Mary's new boss! Here's a pic of him at his creepy best:

Reading a book on Mary and Sam's bed! O_O Also weird is that in Sam's family tree, he doesn't have a mother. Like, not even dead, just not there at all...
   Despite this, I think Mary and Sam will be fine while I switch back to Lana and Robbie...


Lovebirds <3

   So now, maybe a little update on Daisy May?
Daisy has been moving up in the athletic skill.

I was surprised to see that she's actually at level 8 now! I really like her workout outfit :D gray and yellow work together perfectly!
She and Greggory are still on good terms:


Now he's hot!

Which has been good since I changed his outfit.
She and Oliver have also been helping a lot with the twins  :)
   One time, Mortimer Goth showed up at my house, for no apparent reason. None of them are friends with him; it had me baffled. Then he ate dinner with them lol and he dissed Daisy May because he has no sense of humor...

   So you're totally up-to-date, that's all for now....

Lana and Robbie--bringing you up-to-date

   Ok, so I've been playing The Sims 3 since it came out (summer 2009) and I love it! BTW I love the Sims!!! I have been playing it since my brother bought the first Sims. I could never get into the SimsCity games, but I love The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3.
   Anyways, I got my laptop in the spring and installed Sims 3 in August. In December, I decided to make a new family and started with a couple because I always think it's the funnest to start that way and have their children grow from babies. My couple started as young adults and by now they are adults, so I'm going to give you the run-through on their young adult lives:
  

 Robbie and Lana.
Lana and Robbie. Yeah, I like that better.
Lana's traits are: good, genius, perfectionist, hopeless romantic, and ambitious. She has the World Renowned Surgeon lifetime wish. Her description is: "Lana is strange, and most sims don't 'get' her. She usually tries to stay unnoticed, and most sims try to ignore her. But Robbie is able to look beyond her outward appearance." Her favorite color is violet.
Robbie's traits are: brave, good sense of humor, vehicle enthusiast, artistic, and charismatic. He has the Master of the Arts lifetime wish. His description is: "Robbie has always been the one in the spotlight; will moving to Sunset Valley change this?" His favorite color is blue.  
   Lana's skin is light blue, in case you can't tell from that pic. I imagine the two of them falling in love, but as Lana is shunned and looked down on (because of her strangeness and appearance), Robbie suggests they move to Sunset Valley to have a fresh start. Robbie is charismatic and artistic, so I imagine him being quite popular in their hometown, but still choosing Lana over that popularity. How sweet of him :)

They were married on the beach (unfortunately don't have pics), and I played them as a couple for a little while. They were living in the Monotone house, 72 Water Lily Lane; one of the only houses they could afford after I first made them. Lana got a job at the hospital, and Robbie got a part-time job at Divisadero bookstore. I wanted to give Robbie more free time to work on his painting skill. One time they were at the beach and I saw the Bachelor family having a picnic: 

There's Bella in the red dress!!!

Eventually playing with only two sims got boring to me, but luckily they got the "have a baby" want.



Lana going into labor, and Robbie freaking out XD

Here they are at the hospital:



Oh Lana! Have I taught you nothing?! You're supposed to wear pants in public!

Yep, Lana's not wearing any pants. I've uploaded a lot of people, clothes, and patterns through the exchange, and unfortunately when it comes to clothes this can backfire. So, one of the people that I uploaded for clothes from the exchange had no pants in one of their outfits lol
They had a baby girl, and I named her Mary Lilac. Her traits were genius and virtuoso.
Here is her infant self:



My precious little tube.

Aaaaand she's a tube. Apparently someone thought it would be a good idea to allow babies to wear adult clothes when they uploaded to the exchange. This unfortunately makes the baby very glitchy, and it often looks like a tube, but the game is not affected, just the baby's appearance.
Here she is after growing into a toddler:

Wow that is scary. Since I don't even like the clothes that make them glitch like this, I would uninstall them, but I did that on my other game and then couldn't get back into the game! Sims 3 would work and load fine into the main menu, but when I tried to load that particular game it would load to a certain point and stay there. So I'm not going to take a chance with this one, as I have become attached to Lana, Robbie, and their children.
Here's Mary Lilac after I planned/changed her wardrobe:

Ahh that's better. They had enough money to move out, so I moved them to Mosquito Cove, 36 Sim Lane. It was a little hillbilly, and too run-down looking for my taste, so I utilized the create-a-style tool to re-design the interior but left the outside as it was. Unfortunately I don't have any shots from when they were living in Mosquito Cove.

   When they had enough money, I moved them into an empty lot (415 Skyborough Blvd), built my own house, and Lana got pregnant again.

   I had another tube girl! She was named Daisy May, and born with the athletic and excitable traits. At this point, I decided I would give all their children color-themed names. Mary Lilac's color is lilac/lavendar; Daisy May's is yellow.

   Mary Lilac grew into a child, and added perfectionist to her traits. Here she is carrying an empty pizza box:



   I thought she looked funny because the pizza box is so big. Yep, I am easily amused. BTW Robbie often starts randomly laughing. It must be because he has the good sense of humor trait. Kinda creepy...

   Daisy May grows into a toddler...

That black and white glitchiness is Daisy May wearing adult clothes...sigh...

   Lana and Robbie had two more children, both boys (good thing too cause I was getting tired of daughters lol). The older is Oliver Heath, born with the good and brave traits. The younger is Robert Red, named after Robbie (lol it's still hard to believe I made his middle name Red) and born with the easily impressed and friendly traits. I've decided to make Robert Red a little hillbilly  :D Robert Red was also my only normal baby, all the others were tubes lol

   I thought this was cute:

Lana and Mary Lilac ate grilled cheese and both left the crusts :)

   Mary Lilac and Daisy May grew to teenagers during Lana and Robbie's young adulthood.

Here's Mary Lilac as she tries to take pancakes to school:

Mary Lilac grew into the bookworm trait. I also added the Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers wish as her lifetime want.

And this is Daisy May as a teen:

She now has the athletic, excitable, family-oriented, and flirty traits. She also wanted to write a science fiction novel, so she did, named "Jogging With Martians". I really like writing sims, so when the Professional Author lifetime wish popped up, I added it for her.

BTW, I've been playing on the "long" lifespan and have had story progression enabled the whole time.

   During Lana and Robbie's young adulthood, Oliver Heath grew into a child and Robert Red grew into a toddler. Oliver Heath added the good sense of humor trait. I also added the Rock Star lifetime wish because it popped up as a want. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of Oliver as a kid or Robert as a toddler. Lana was having a lot of days off during and after her pregnancies, so to find something to do with her I had her start a garden. At the point I'm playing now she is up to level 8 in gardening skills. Lana reached her lifetime goal of being a world renowned surgeon a little before she grew into an adult. This added 37k to her lifetime points.



Going to play gol--uh, perform surgeries...



She now has the option to "play golf" while at work lol. Lana also maxed the logic skill.

   Robbie moved as far as he could (level 3) at Divasidero bookstore. Part-time jobs can be pretty limited, but he gained quite a few raises and was making around $112 per hour at the end of young adulthood. He also maxed the painting skill and was moving along with the guitar skill. Mary Lilac was dating Sam Sekemoto and Daisy May was dating Gregory Langerak (the younger brother of Kaylynn Langerak). Mary Lilac also had a part-time job at the spa, while Sam had a part-time job at the graveyard. A lot of times, I would have Mary Lilac call Sam after work and ask if he wanted to go out, but he would say he was busy. This happened so often, I considered making Mary Lilac break up with him, but changed my mind when I figured out it must be because of his job.

   Daisy May and Gregory:



No, it's not a gay couple...



   The clothes continue to make my sims look extremely funny, as Gregory is wearing a girl's pants, boots, and top, giving him boobs and a girl's booty. This pic is better:

Eventually I changed to his family just so I could give him new clothes :)

   Robbie is one day older than Lana, so he grew up before her:

I changed his clothes and gave him glasses because I wanted him to look a little more mature. His Ghostbusters shirt is now part of his pajamas :)
   Lana grew the next day:

I changed her clothes as well but kept both of their hair the same.
   What will happen next? Now that they're adults, life could only get sweeter, right?...
