He's proving to be a bit different to his mother.<br /><br />Oh, Jack most definitely won't be a chef! He's definitely a guy who is more interested in the behind-the-scenes/business side of things. I have some ideas for who I might hire after Tate retires as chef though and I'm quite excited about it. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12543794220972802372014-01-07T12:09:15.937+11:002014-01-07T12:09:15.937+11:00LOL about staring at Jack and forgetting to take p...LOL about staring at Jack and forgetting to take pictures...I think I do that quite a bit with some of my Sims. :) <br /><br />I can only imagine how tired poor Zelda was after a day with those two boys. One toddler wears me out, and I'm not an elder yet... It's great that Jack is showing such interest in the restaurant, and it will be interesting to see if he actually ends up as a cook or as something more of a general manager with a star chef on the staff. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-21710422880894826752014-01-02T08:01:36.902+11:002014-01-02T08:01:36.902+11:00I think Jack will probably breed next round (or th...I think Jack will probably breed next round (or this round, as I've just started it).

They are both very hard workers in their own ways - Zelda banged out 2.5 novels this round, which is not bad. ;)<br /><br />I do include lots of sims in my updates, by design! I have so many, so it's a good way to continue any story threads I might have going, without having to wait another two years to visit a certain family again. I'm glad you enjoy reading about them, in any case.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-22816845236418115732013-12-31T12:09:15.517+11:002013-12-31T12:09:15.517+11:00Aww, I love the elder sims!

I imagine all I'll need to do is take them off BC, given their age and the fact they don't have any kids yet. I really want to see a baby from those two.<br /><br />I think Zelda deserves a medal for looking after Andrew all day, especially at her slightly advanced age. I have definitely taught kids who are more trouble than Andrew but as far as sim kids go, he's pretty bad, lol. <br /><br />Tate probably won't work full-time for too much longer. He's already 70, so he's definitely getting up there in years. I want him to have a little R&R. <br /><br />I'm having such fun with the household profiles. I'm already writing Caleb and Cara's for the first story update of next round and I haven't even put birthdays up yet!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-78162600881698787862013-12-30T09:14:25.452+11:002013-12-30T09:14:25.452+11:00Oh man, totally laughing at the picture of you pa...Oh man, totally laughing at the picture of you pausing and drooling over hunky Jack. I can get on that train! Also very excited for them to breed, breed, breed! <br /><br />Loved the mall trip, it looks absolutely exhausting! It's like taking my sister's kids anywhere, but they truly misbehave. I agree there needs to be more options for kids to get into mischief. I'm excited for Jack to be taking over, Tate needs to retire or at least work part-time just for fun. <br /><br />Household profile looks great!

Josie was a brat in kind of a different way! At least Tate and Zelda get to give Andrew back - they were stuck with Josie, lol. ;)<br /><br />I'm really happy with the restaurant and it was nice to get one of my sims set up with their business again. I think he's the only one so far! I like the idea of Tate and Jack working together so much that I'm thinking of having Jack hire Tate as chef on a part-time basis. I could use that mod that lets you set the sim's hours and have Tate come in on the weekend or something. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-4733032247946415082013-12-24T23:13:59.752+11:002013-12-24T23:13:59.752+11:00The household profile link is a nice idea.

It's nice to be able to read back on the family's history.<br /><br />I loves Zelda's outing with her grandsons, and seeing how different Jude and Andrew's characters are! I'm sure both Tate and Zelda like the idea of their daughter having a kid that is as much a handfull as she was when she was younger!<br /><br />Tate's restaurant looks really nice (I saw the tour at N99). It's going to be nice for Tate and Jack to work together, it might make it easier on Tate to step back completely one day.Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-90762425444569861372013-12-23T08:29:35.963+11:002013-12-23T08:29:35.963+11:00I'm pretty excited to play the Christmas updat...I'm pretty excited to play the Christmas update! I will probably throw up a lot tour before then though, as I've been doing so well getting out weekly updates and I won't make it this week!<br /><br />There's not really many negative interactions kids can do at all. There's "Torment" but that seems to only appear with siblings (or possibly just really high relationships). Other than that, you just have to hope they disagree with something the other is talking about or wait for that moment in Cops and Robbers where there's a head kick! It's kind of lame, I have to say. Kids fight all the damn time in RL!<br /><br />Glad I'm not alone! It's not even necessarily because of my sims all the time either. I'll just frame a shot I really like and sit around admiring it and then realise later I forgot to actually press PrintScreen!

They're always so great, with big family gatherings and whatnot. :)<br /><br />I forgot that kids can't argue in TS2! I think I remember so much, and then you mention something like that. Wow. Can kids really even do anything negative then?<br /><br />Heehee! Admiring Jack and forgetting to take screens, I've done that. Mostly I'm just marveling at "how well they turned out" or "holy crap, those two spawned THAT? Impressive!"

I do recognise how much content I have on here and I am always amazed when anyone reads back over ALL of it! I certainly don't begrudge anyone the right to just skip a whole bunch (as someone who is reading right now just did). <br /><br />Yeah, there are a lot of freckles. I don't know if I'll adjust the genetics somewhat or not. I really like freckles but there are turning out to be a TON of them, lol!<br /><br />You're probably thinking of Virginia, who is Matilda's stepmother. I think she used to work at Tate's but she quit in a huff one day and Adam ended up hiriing her at The Claudette instead, where Corbin also works as a host. You can see Tate's last waitress <a href="http://sullivansims.blogspot.com/2011/08/you-are-light.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. She's definitely just a townie. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-1484812509838938072013-12-21T01:28:25.884+11:002013-12-21T01:28:25.884+11:00Making profiles for people to just jump in is rath...Making profiles for people to just jump in is rather genius, especially with your entire hood in generation 5!
