I find that almost all my teens want to sneak out. I ignore it unless it makes sense for the character and I don't always write it in, even then. <br /><br />Yeah, Kirstin did all right, eh? Except the science faculty is still completely untouched. Or at least it would be untouched if I'd done so much as placed an empty lot down for it! I think I'm going to convert an interesting looking house for the purpose instead of building from scratch. <br /><br />It feels like I'm taking forever to get to the pregnancy ROS but it is coming!

Poor g...Wow, Adelaide did have a lot to live up to. Poor girl but I hope she can find something she enjoys doing without a degree. That's too funny with her sneaking out though. I really liked seeing Sebastian with her, though. He seems so much older than her now but it's only 2 years. Gotta love it. Well, I know Kirsten and David don't lol. I have a couple of teens with the sneak out want but it doesn't fit into the one's character at all.<br /><br />I think Kirsten did a great job during her term. Some politicians don't do as much as she has done! And I don't blame you for forgetting about the science faculty building. Science was never a strong subject for me. I found a science building I want to download... somewhere... but I haven't checked it out yet. I'll probably have to build it like I did my school.<br /><br />Oh my, I forgot all about the pregnancy ROS! :-O I wonder who's going to get that one!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-74825821618705963052011-07-24T09:57:15.078+10:002011-07-24T09:57:15.078+10:00Lunar, hopefully, Adelaide's acting out won...<b>Lunar</b>, hopefully, Adelaide's acting out won't continue into her adult life.

Though she didn't really have to try - she just feels like doing what she wants.<br /><br />I had to pose that pic of her sneaking in. Sims' expressions when they're sneaking in are strangely...expressionless. So that one was actually a bit fiddly to do. I'm glad everyone liked it.<br /><br />Heh, Sebastian is very much-mansized and Adelaide still looks quite young! If they hadn't been dating for a couple of years now, I'm sure that would freak David out a little. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-52208462359051151212011-07-22T00:34:49.844+10:002011-07-22T00:34:49.844+10:00It makes sense that Adelaide would be more rebelli...It makes sense that Adelaide would be more rebellious, especially with having two pretty all-star sisters, and family! They really are quite an accomplished bunch! Hopefully she finds her niche and is comfortable with herself when she finally gets there, after all this school stuff is behind her.

LOL. <br /><br />Kirstin is a busy woman and she does like it that way. But she will be slightly less busy next time we see her, which will be a good thing. Even if she doesn't appreciate that yet. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Flit</b>, yes, but I won't be playing this family in 2035. I generally keep families either in the first half of the round or the second half. I only move them to the other half if it's necessary for the story. If I move this family to 2035, it means another family scheduled for 2035 will have to take their place in 2036. That would mean three years between updates for that family, which is too long for my liking. I prefer to avoid that. I have no idea if any of that made sense. It does in my head, lol!<br /><br />And that's leaving aside the fact that I'm really and truly fine with Adelaide not going to uni. ;)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-38902660519206329852011-07-15T00:15:19.824+10:002011-07-15T00:15:19.824+10:00I do understand that you give each family a proper...I do understand that you give each family a proper play session each round, but until the middle of next round she'll stay a teen and if you play her family in 2035 she'll still have a chance, no?nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918762661496461154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-70854457856577930612011-07-14T21:22:16.363+10:002011-07-14T21:22:16.363+10:00Ah yes, younger siblings and their boyfriends.

Everyone gets one proper play session per round and she's had her turn! I played this family for the entire autumn, thinking she might roll up a skilling want or something but nope. It makes sense to me that she wouldn't go, so I'm okay with it.

Mine roll up that want all the time but Adelaide was spinning it more than usual. But I actually set up the sneak out shots - Sebastian is a YA, so in game, there's no way for Adelaide to sneak out with him anyway.<br /><br />David is quite glad at Kirstin's upcoming forced slow down as well! I think as long as she finds other things to fill her time, rather than just sitting around the house, she'll be happy. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, I like Adelaide a lot too and she and Sebastian are quite cute as a couple. She's very, very different from her sisters though. Actually, none of the Sitko girls are much like each other. <br /><br />I'm sure Adelaide was not expecting to find her dad standing there in the foyer, or else she might not have taken the risk of sneaking out. It's had the opposite effect to what she intended, because she now has even <i>less</i> freedom. <br /><br />I think Kirstin will find the slower paced life difficult, as well as having to hand over control to the new governor. She's going to struggle with that, I think!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-21000124068808568492011-07-14T05:47:42.588+10:002011-07-14T05:47:42.588+10:00I love Adelaide!!

My oldest brother was extremely good in school and college, the next oldest barely got by, I did really well, and my younger brother struggled. I always tell him he was born in the wrong slot lol. It'll be interesting to see what she ends up doing after graduation. I have yet to have a teen with a sneak out want.......they're all goody two shoes I guess lol.

If it had have been Adelaide, I think the post title might have become extremely appropriate. I do believe David might actually have a heart attack if another of his daughters gets knocked up!<br /><br />Four scholarships is actually not much of a trial for most of my kids. I let them skill as toddlers for one thing (I don't think you do?), so they many of my Sims have a good grounding in skills. One of the scholarships they get is usually the one they get for reaching the top of a teen career, which isn't too difficult for my Sims. Just a tad too difficult for Adelaide though. She had the entrepreneur scholarship and two skill-based ones but she only had a C-. So she missed out.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Mandie</b>, Adelaide must have times where she feels like somewhat of a black sheep. She was born into a rather intellectual family! And I think it's such a teenage thing to assume you're being treated unfairly, when in fact parents usually have good reasons for the rules they set. And I won't let my parents read that, because I'm sure I had a few Adelaide moments when I was 16!<br /><br />I think Kirstin will be a little lost when she first leaves office but she'll adjust. She thrives on being busy but she's plenty busy with her job at the law firm already. It'll be nice for her to have a weekend again. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-84897249647040793212011-07-13T13:34:21.213+10:002011-07-13T13:34:21.213+10:00Poor Adelaide.
