Second to none

Round 27: Summer 2025
last update/next update

Betsy and Kimberly Carmody are both 54 and Susannah is 15.
(Sarah is 20 and Malcolm is 15)

Narrated by Susannah Carmody

When last summer came and went without the threatened "family vacation", I thought maybe I'd escaped! But no. Right up until the shuttle arrived, I was begging to be allowed to stay home but Mum insisted it was a family vacation and we were going as a family.

Lila and I just started high school. The building looked so huge on the first day (I guess it still kind of does!) and I think we both felt lucky to have the other one there by our side.

Round 27 ROS

I've rolled my ROS for Round 27 (which will cover the years 2025-2026), so here they are. As always, I will link each ROS item to the entry it happens in, as they occur. So uh, if you're reading this after the fact, you might not want to click the links unless you want spoilers!

Mini mid-life crisis. Change secondary aspiration or select one if one doesn’t exist. - This Sim doesn't have one yet, so I guess I could go any way I wanted with this.
You're feeling creative. Take up a new hobby or start a new business: painting, music, writing, crafting, pet breeding, whatever strikes your fancy.
Deadline to write an article within 24 hours (demoted if failure)
There has been a terrible house fire! Everything was lost, but at least the family is safe (move the family and bulldoze the home). - I was bummed to roll this one but then I remembered I've kind of started to hate this family's house anyway! So it's a good excuse to move them.
Weekly night in - I roll for what the activity will be with this ROS and the one that came up was pool.
You've been audited, and there was an error on your tax return. Pay 10% of your total personal and business net worth. - Lord, I don't even know how much money this Sim will have after this audit, especially seeing taxes are also due in Spring 2025!

Round 26 Outtakes


Victoria wasn't sure about the apartment I picked out for her family at first. I love her expression but I'm mainly posting this for adorable little Declan in the background, sucking his thumb! So cute.

Mum has always been a bit of a tomboy, so she was surprised when I said I wanted to take up ballet. I've always been interested in it in the back of my mind - Grandpa used to dance when he was much younger, so I guess I sort of picked it up from him. I've been practising a lot this year.

As well as babysitting, I've been working with Mum at her boutique. She was running it by herself for a while but she says she can't run the store and man the cash register at the same time.
