I don't want a repeat for Caleb ...Yes, she was! I don't want a repeat for Caleb and Cara, in any case. I didn't mind so much with Araminta, as their kids were younger than Nick, Veronica and Anthony are. I think Ione was 19 and Finn was 13. Nick is 38!<br /><br />I didn't lock the baby want, so I expect it will roll away! I think...I've so rarely dealt with a non-Family sim baby want that I'm not sure if they tend to stick around or not. Regardless, she's going to have to content herself with Jessie anyway!<br /><br />Chris is going to have to really impress Caleb to get on his good side now, assuming he ever deigns to meet him! Caleb is very suspicious of him!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-37185970418930090872014-01-15T03:14:56.458+11:002014-01-15T03:14:56.458+11:00Guess you don't want a repeat of Araminta, LOL...Guess you don't want a repeat of Araminta, LOL! She was the same age when Elspeth was born.<br /><br />For them, with their age and jobs, a dog is a much better option. Hopefully Cara will be satisfied. You did a great job of addressing it.<br />It's nice to see how close they are with all the children, and I loved to see Veronica and Cara at the table discussing Chris. I can see Caleb not liking him too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-19456187214914937622014-01-14T18:00:50.975+11:002014-01-14T18:00:50.975+11:00Yeah, I've seen some weird looking sim dogs! A...Yeah, I've seen some weird looking sim dogs! Actually, I'm a bit worried about that, because I'm not sure how much I'll be able to edit her, if she's super weird. Hopefully I can make her look okay just with some fur colour changes, if need be!<br /><br />The baby want is a bit bittersweet for Cara and Caleb, I suppose. If only she'd rolled it 10-15 years ago. ;) But financially, they couldn't have swung a baby back then, so it was probably for the best that she didn't. A baby is definitely still a remote possibility in Sullivan too - Araminta had Elspeth when she was 51, I think!<br /><br />I was so excited that you can sell the appetisers! I see platters like that for sale all the time at the supermarket deli, so I was glad to put it in game. It's just the kind of thing you might buy if you were having a party, especially if you're not very cuisine-inclined!<br /><br />All that is true of Chris. I'm sure he'll want to settle down one day, I just don't know when that'll be. Veronica kind of surprised me this round, being so singled-minded about Chris. No marriage or engagement wants yet, so she's not <i>that</i> serious!! But still.<br /><br />Loved Cara and Veronica's conversation - it really made me happy. I don't see Cara as a Cool Mom (thinking of Amy Poehler in Mean Girls right now!) but I see her as fairly open and honest and someone Veronica would be happy to talk to about that kind of thing. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-89541392672261598422014-01-14T11:52:35.304+11:002014-01-14T11:52:35.304+11:00Ah the puppy is adorable!

I am also curious what it will grow up to look like, because they can turn out really adorable and realistic, or really wrong. I think it's sorta sad that Cara finally rolled the baby want, I do think their family worked out really lovely, but still.. a baby want! If she were in my hood she'd still have a chance though, Delaney was 52 when she got pregnant with Lizzie. ;) <br /><br />I really like Caleb's catering business, I really like that you put the appetizers in there because that is the one thing I'm certain to buy when we visit friends/family. <br /><br />I can see why Caleb isn't thrilled over the prospect of Chris, but I have hopes that he is settling down, and if anything, all that work is making him a dull/tired boy. ;) Plus he has a really great family, and I know Caleb would approve of them, and it's also why I have faith that Chris will be good once he gets older. Both are still young enough to keep enjoying themselves anyway. And how cute was Veronica and Cara's conversation? Totally a Mother-Daughter moment there.

Plenty of practice already, with Nick's kids and I just think Cara is pretty cool in general. I'm curious which twin will make her a grandma first!<br /><br />I don't think Chris is the kind of guy who goes over too well with the dads, so it's no surprise Caleb's a bit worried. I think Chris will settle down eventually (all my sims seem to want to, eventually) but whether or not it will come soon enough for Caleb's liking, not to mention Veronica's, is another story!<br /><br />EA really dropped the ball with businesses in TS3. All those half-assed buggy Store releases and poorly thought-out expansion content. I'm kind of curious to see what it's like to run a resort though. It's not an option I've explored at all. I'm not getting my hopes up though. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-34418064158721363642014-01-12T13:54:14.950+11:002014-01-12T13:54:14.950+11:00A puppy is certainly a good substitute for a child...A puppy is certainly a good substitute for a child! ;) You even have to potty train them, haha.<br /><br />I really think Cara will make an excellent grandma. Caleb, too, of course... but that's a given. I hope Veronica's love situation doesn't turn out badly for her. Caleb may be right to be a little worried about that one!<br /><br />Reading about your businesses always makes me long for the days of Open for Business. It just doesn't work the same in TS3.

It adds some flavour to the game, I suppose. :) In my hood Karen Chaplin have had a persistent fear of having a baby for several rounds now, which is odd since her youngest is a teen and she's nearly 50. Heh. <br /><br />I'm interested to see where things are going between Chris and Veronica though I totally get her parents being sceptical.

It was a few months ago now, so I can't quite remember!<br /><br />I came across a few other older entries while writing the household profile for this family and Cara was always very adamant about no more babies, so the want was a surprise! It also seems natural, now that Caleb and Cara are alone at home. Alone with Jessie now. :) She's a cutie.<br /><br />Anthony is the first sim I've done this career thing on who only got a 5/5 for ONE job! My sims always fit at least two. So typically Anthony to be difficult about this kind of thing, lol!<br /><br />I don't know about Veronica and Chris either. Last time I played him, he wasn't as enthusiastic as Veronica curently is but then, she wasn't either! This is all quite new! So we'll see, when we get to Chris. Or when we get to Veronica, I can't remember who's up first. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-28609076510275480222014-01-10T02:58:36.462+11:002014-01-10T02:58:36.462+11:00I like Caleb's new business, it looks very nic...I like Caleb's new business, it looks very nice.<br /><br />You've written Cara's baby-want in very well! It's a good thing that Caleb was able to convince her they made the right choice years ago. I think they have a nice family the way it is :)<br />I love the puppy! It's going to be interesting to see how he turns out when he's older!<br />I always love your family gathering. And I think it's a good thing they don't have all the kids over all at once, I think it's going to be a little bit too busy having them all together.<br /><br />I recently did the career thing on my new teens, and with some of them I had a ton of options, while with others it was a lot harder to find a suiting job. I'm really curious which is the job you've found for him after reaching his LTW.<br /><br />I'm also curious to see how things will go between Veronica and Chris :)Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.com
