So cute...I just scrolled back up and noticed there weren't nearly enough pics of them though, lol.<br /><br />The dance career sucks, really. I wish they'd just focused on ballet, rather than trying to please everyone by having one level of tap dancing and then another of flamenco. Music sucks too, but not quite as much. I'm still going to use the Rock Star custom career for my next music Sim though.<br /><br />The branched careers in TS3 are a very good idea - who'd have thought EA would ever come up with it? I would bet they got that from the fans, actually. I've heard they go around to Sims forums and check out what people are saying. <br /><br />Susannah got knocked up at a pretty convenient time for me! Her old place is perfect for Audrey. Susannah will be living...elsewhere. You'll get a rough idea in March birthdays and then more details in her next pregnancy update. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-57830123696795528542011-08-08T02:46:09.269+10:002011-08-08T02:46:09.269+10:00Oh, Jack and Audrey! *whimsicalsigh* They're s...Oh, Jack and Audrey! *whimsicalsigh* They're so lovely together! :)<br /><br />Oh, I know - how much of a mess is that dance career!?! It reminds me of the music one, which was like that as well, with like two symphony music jobs in the middle of a whole rockstar kind of career, lol! I'm glad TS3 does the music career in two branches (and does quite a few careers in two branches, actually) - which reminds me that I need to learn how to mod TS3 careers, lol!<br /><br />But anyway! How neat for Audrey that the new place thing will work out, though at Susannah's expense, I guess.

Love them. <br /><br />Susannah's pregnancy worked out pretty well for Audrey, I guess. I'm bummed for her that her carefree days were cut short a little prematurely though. But she's Family secondary anyway, and has rolled up the want for a baby, so she'll probably cope better than most.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-6724818986253169412011-07-17T22:06:09.001+10:002011-07-17T22:06:09.001+10:00Audrey came back home just in time to be a big hel...Audrey came back home just in time to be a big help--that has to be nice for her family.

Really made my day when someone posted a nursing career on MTS, and a couple of my sims with a Chief of Staff want are now actually nurses on the way to Nurse Practitioner - if they make level 10, they'll fulfil the LTW via the brief career switch at the top, as I mentioned above.<br /><br />I figured that there would be things in the other game careers that would bother people in the profession in r/l just as much - thanks for confirming that its not just a nurses-are-too-precious thing! :)Blackcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994340662958807275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-8457293257364409002011-07-05T14:26:51.543+10:002011-07-05T14:26:51.543+10:00Lunar, they really are.

I can imagine nurses being a bit miffed that their job is considered just a step on the way to becoming a doctor. I'm a bit annoyed myself that you can be promoted to High School Teacher from Elementary School Teacher. Uh, no. Some of us are happy at the elementary/primary level. It's not a promotion to change to being a high school teacher. Gah.<br /><br />But yes, it's cute to see this whole Jack and Audrey thing finally playing out! It was a long time coming and I'm sure Jonas and Tatiana have been expecting it for a little while now, or at least hoping. And that's true - Jack's 18th birthday was quite a surprise for us!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-56971564492439380322011-07-05T11:52:48.888+10:002011-07-05T11:52:48.888+10:00Most of the careers are ridiculous, aren't the...Most of the careers are ridiculous, aren't they? They hardly make any sense. I know I've heard a few in the medical profession that were a little miffed that "nurse" was one of the lower levels on the way to being a doctor.<br /><br />Aw, Jack meeting the parents in this new capacity is cute! I think I also remember people rooting for one of the boys to get with Audrey. But when they were kids, we didn't know that Jack would grow up and be so darn handsome, lol.The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-76919434152876965172011-07-05T09:03:36.987+10:002011-07-05T09:03:36.987+10:00Danielle, I'm starting to wonder if the hospit...<b>Danielle</b>, I'm starting to wonder if the hospital's good run is really going to stop anyone from freaking out any time my Sims go in! I have a feeling you guys will do that anyway, like I do when I see it at other people's blogs, lol!<br /><br /><br />You know, at one stage, I was kind of hoping Charlie and Audrey would get together too, though I always suspected Jack and Audrey might be the ones to end up together. By the time Charlie took himself so spectacularly out of the running by knocking up Camilla, I'd already switched my allegiance to Jack. ;) I just went back and read the Benton post where we got the first hints of a Jack/Audrey/Charlie thing (when they were 8, lol!) and a few people were hoping for/expecting a Charlie/Audrey romance. <br /><br />I'm a bit sad Susannah is moving out too but I have a place for her now, so I am a little more okay with it. And I redecorated Susannah's bedroom for Audrey and that always makes me more excited about a living situation. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-53884467270894426362011-07-04T16:24:02.125+10:002011-07-04T16:24:02.125+10:00Ah good.

So happy to see more Audrey and Jack. When they were younger, I was routing for her and Charlie but I actually like the way things turned out. I'm happy Audrey will have a place to live soon but sad that Susannah will be moving out. Can't wait to find out what's going to happen next.<br /><br />And yes, the dance career probably sucks the most of all EA careers.

But we have Liam for a while yet and we have Tatiana for a lot longer, obviously. ;)<br /><br />I've moved Audrey out into Rebecca and Susannah's place, so I would guess that Tatiana is already missing her. But Tatiana is lucky she doesn't have the kinds of kids who move out and never visit. They'll still see each other all the time. <br /><br />Heh, you already know how much I love Jack and Audrey!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Blackcat</b>, me too! I'll be glad when this flu ROS is over! I just checked and I have four more Sims to infect and hopefully cure. <br /><br />That's an interesting idea and it's actually something I wish I'd done for Luc and Asha. I've always pictured them as playing rock but the EA music career is so stupid, with those two classical levels near the top and then Rock God at the very top. All the other levels seem rock-oriented or at least, generic enough to fit into anything. But I didn't find out about the Rock Star career until long after I'd fulfilled Luc's LTW! Something to think about in the future though, so thanks!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-74107813100495490532011-07-04T07:37:10.669+10:002011-07-04T07:37:10.669+10:00I was worried about Liam, too!

Glad they got through with no casualties.<br /><br />The Maxis dance career is kind of silly, although, yeah, the were probably trying to satisfy everyone with it. <br /><br />I think I saw a Prima Ballerina career somewhere (probably MTS) - if Audrey as the LTW to top the Maxis dance career, you could work her through to the top of the custom one, then switch her over to the Maxis dance career, she'd probably have most of the skills she needed to go straight into a high level and reach level 10/fulfill the want very quickly.<br /><br />I'm doing that with a couple of my sims - putting them into a similar custom career, as a different route to their LTW with the intention of switching them if/when they top the custom one, just to add some variety.Blackcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994340662958807275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-35626619088142447402011-07-04T07:05:21.169+10:002011-07-04T07:05:21.169+10:00You always scare me when you take your sims to the...You always scare me when you take your sims to the hospital when they are sick, especially when they are elders.

I was sure he was a goner.<br /><br />Audrey is that type of person, though she probably has the potential for that to cross over into meddling. But she does really want to help people when her family or friends are in distress for whatever reason. <br /><br />Jack is almost like a member of the family, with the amount of time he spent at this house as a kid and teen. He sort of already had his foot in the door, so a slight advantage over Connor! But even without that, as you say, he is fairly likeable. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-54271494051861795602011-07-02T19:37:11.778+10:002011-07-02T19:37:11.778+10:00Oh my god, you shouldn't scare people like tha...Oh my god, you shouldn't scare people like that, lol!

But she's close to her family and I can imagine her living at home relatively happily for a little while anyway.<br /><br />Heh, you know I'm the same with genetics! Audrey's so much like Tatiana. I think her jaw might be a little wider than her mother's but they're still very similar.<br /><br />I don't think Tatiana would enjoy being an empty nester, so it's definitely a good thing Brendan is around. Although eventually, one of the kids will move back home to take over the farm so she likely won't be an empty nester for very long. <br /><br />Oh gosh, Audrey has a RED recessive, so even better! It comes from her great-grandmother, Gina Clarke. So if Audrey and Jack had a baby, they'd have the same chance of giving me a redhead as Steve and Olivia and they gave me one right off the bat. If I didn't already love Audrey and Jack together, this may well have swayed me! ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-59421345285360704212011-07-02T09:56:28.360+10:002011-07-02T09:56:28.360+10:00Glad that they all made it through the flu in this...Glad that they all made it through the flu in this household without any casualties. Worked out nice to have Audrey here to help with Brendan, and I'm glad she got to come home to spend sometime, I like when that works out for some sims. I never realized how much Tatiana and Audrey looked alike, love that! Honestly, I just love the genetics all around, when daughters look like mothers, when they look like fathers, when they look like random relative.. haha. <br /><br />I think it's great they have little Brendan still in the home, it's nice for Tatiana to have someone to focus on while she's still not that old. I think she'd be awfully lonely to be an empty nester, though she isn't a spring chicken. Can't believe she's in her 50's! She's the oldest sim whose teen years I remember quite clearly. <br /><br />I like Audrey and Jack together too, does Audrey happen to have a blond recessive? Might make another red head, haha.

Oh well.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Rosa</b>, you and me both! Jack and Audrey certainly took their time! I was actually planning on letting them get together a couple of years before they did but then Connor and Audrey started up autonomously and I decided to let them play that out.

I threw Magdalena into it and never paid much attention to it and Liam was already in it when I married him into this family and I didn't pay much attention with him either. Audrey's the first Sim who I put into the career because I really wanted her to be a dancer, so I'm scrutinising it a little more closely. And it's pretty sucky. <br /><br />Sigh, the flu ROS is scary and I'd also forgotten how tedious it can be! I think 10 infected Sims is a good number but wow, it takes a long time to get through them all. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-34438649757515291402011-07-02T02:28:11.900+10:002011-07-02T02:28:11.900+10:00Awwwwww, I'm in love with Audrey and Jack!

That's why I've been sending some Sims in for non-fatal things, because my doctors were seeming more like butchers!<br /><br />Who knows why EA did a lot of things, eh? So many of the careers don't make any sense at all! I use Pru's overrides for some, which make them a lot better. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, yeah, I guess that's sort of how I'm looking at the career too, for the meantime. <br /><br />I don't know if you ever told me you liked the arcade but thank you! I'm a little disappointed that I've had to remove all the custom arcade games I had in there. They caused major lag every time a Sim tried to play one. :\ At least it still looks good? LOL. <br /><br />But yes, there's a ticket machine set up outside. Jesse runs the register so Sims can buy the "prizes" but the ones behind the counter are just decorative. I didn't want Sims walking behind the counter all the time to browse.<br /><br />LOL and nope, not Audrey! The pregnancy ROS is still to come. There will be a more detailed updated on Susannah either tomorrow or the next day. I have the pictures done - just have to write the words. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.com
