With toddlers, the care is only marginally better than the nannies but with children, they don't really need to do anything besides be there anyway. And this family can well afford it, so I thought "why not?"<br /><br />To me, it feels like Calvin and Troy have taken forever to grow up! Samson and Kendal seem like so long ago to me now, seeing she's in such a different place now, so that's probably why. <br /><br />Of the two, I think Madelyn will take Aaron coming out better than James. I only really noted his personality as prudish a couple of rounds ago but I've been going through previous entries lately and that guy is really rather uptight! LOL. So we'll see how that goes. I still have to think about how I'll write that. <br /><br />I remember your Luke coming out. I hadn't considered Sarah though - interested to see how that plays out for her. Her parents are pretty conservative, no?Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-13251427924029025872010-01-09T13:28:25.779+11:002010-01-09T13:28:25.779+11:00Awww, RIP Georgette :(

Wow, I can't believe they're all ready to start college already! I feel like they were just babies!!! <br /><br />Sixteen is a very tender age, but it's about time, I think. I think my Luke was about seventeen when he came out to his family (which was no big deal, lol!), but now I've got Sarah, who's fifteen right now. I'm thinking that might be a bigger deal, the way her parents are :\<br /><br />Ditto on the Lake and Kendal love :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-78141913510141035182010-01-07T09:44:42.267+11:002010-01-07T09:44:42.267+11:00bbop, Matilda is fun.

She's a playable NPC, so I don't do updates about her family but I always end up actually playing them - I often just age up the non playables. <br /><br />Aaron is very reserved and he also must be aware that his dad is slightly prudish, hence the hesitance. <br /><br /><b>Lunar</b>, when I first downloaded Inteen and then ACR, I thought it might enable the wants too but it's apparently much more complicated. I'm usually a little hesitant to download hacks that need to be placed in the Program Files folder but this one was too good to resist!<br /><br />Matilda is a little stalkerish! She turned up outside Troy's house, even though she lives in Sullivan and doesn't drive because she's 13! I'm so sending her to college when her time comes. She'll be the first of my playable NPCs to reach that age so I'm not yet sure if I'll send them all but she'll definitely go.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-17589891447343572232010-01-06T20:06:39.248+11:002010-01-06T20:06:39.248+11:00Thanks for sharing that link to the wants.

I can see why they're always smiling.<br /><br />And Matilda is cute. She's sort of a little stalkerish, but cute. I knew girls like that at that age. Nothing could deter these girls, they would be absolutely curious about their crush and magically appear where the poor crush was.The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-30155094693589917092010-01-06T11:27:09.627+11:002010-01-06T11:27:09.627+11:00Matilda's stalkerish ness was hysterical.

I liked that she was such a fan girl, and completely undeterred byy him being with other women!!<br /><br />It's always sad to see someone die, especially a lvoed Grandma like Gerogette.<br /><br />And Calvin and his boyfriend were very sweet together. It's sad though that Aaron is afraid to tell his family.bbophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332545298607375114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-2280445677249263972010-01-06T10:57:12.158+11:002010-01-06T10:57:12.158+11:00Thanks for reading and commenting!
Apple Valley, ...Thanks for reading and commenting!<br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, I'm not sure if you were already reading when Lake and Kendal started up but they sort of snuck up on me as a couple! I would never have expected them to get together - Romance and Knowledge do not generally mesh that well together. <br /><br />I don't have a system for poor Sims to go to university. It hasn't come up that often, surprisingly. Finn was a close call and back when the Lachance girls (Georgette, Vivienne and Leontine) were teens, it was going to be pretty hard to send them but I think their mother came into a large amount of cash shortly before they were due to go.<br /><br />Good luck with Bigger Bills! I ended up removing that one. It definitely works to rid your richer families of a lot of their wealth but I found it was just too difficult for my poorer families to keep their heads above water. The Romillies and the Novaks (Lia and Maia's parents, not Hanna and Augustin) are only just recovering now!<br /><br /><b>Mao</b>, I never would have paired Lake and Kendal up but I love them now. Really sweet.<br /><br />There's a little bit of pretend going on in Sullivan with the money situation too. My 3 richest and 3 poorest families are no secret, because I always publish those but otherwise, I write it how I imagine it, not necessarily how it is in game. <br /><br />I've been doing trust funds lately, probably similar to what you're doing with the money order but I'm using Monique's computer. The kids don't get anything until they're 25 but it'll get rid of the huge amount of extra cash some of these families have. Honestly, they'll never use it!<br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, I love that you all like Lake and Kendal so much, because I was concerned about letting them get together at the very beginning.<br /><br />Heh, Matilda has herself a little crush right now. We'll see if she still cares about Troy in a few years or if she's moved on. ;)<br /><br />Aaron will definitely come out. Calvin is nagging him and he'll cave to the pressure.<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, I agree! Aaron needs to grow a pair but I think he most definitely will soon!<br /><br /><b>Cissie</b>, Calvin and Aaron are adorable, aren't they? But yes, they wouldn't want one of Aaron's parents to walk in on them in bed or something. That probably wouldn't go over well!<br /><br />I have my fingers crossed for Matilda. I've got some plans for her - it's just a matter of whether they pan out or not. They don't always!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-7231893151931708442010-01-06T10:09:44.038+11:002010-01-06T10:09:44.038+11:00Calvin and Aaron are so cute together!

Better him telling than his parents finding out some other way.<br /><br />Matilda seems such a sweet girl, I hope she ends up with one of your playabes so she'll become a playable too.Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-71208227615469530502010-01-06T08:30:28.060+11:002010-01-06T08:30:28.060+11:00It's really time for Aaron to tell his parents...It's really time for Aaron to tell his parents, otherwise it can go realy bad!<br />Matilda is sweet, young love always is, and you're righ, 3 years isn't much of a difference when she gets older.Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-80446176394044964842010-01-06T01:36:52.575+11:002010-01-06T01:36:52.575+11:00I also agree on the Lake and Kendal love! They are...I also agree on the Lake and Kendal love! They are so cute together, I'm glad they found happiness and things have worked out for them. Matilda is so cute swooning over Troy (and Calvin!) LOL. I agree the age difference in maturity is too much right now, but maybe when they're older she'll get her chance. ;)<br /><br />I really think Aaron needs to come out to his parents soon! It's going to be worse if he waits and lets them find out accidentally.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to that hack!Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-41394328161445265182010-01-05T13:16:42.726+11:002010-01-05T13:16:42.726+11:00I second the Lake and Kendal love!

I try to make some families "seem" less rich and others more opulent, but truth be told, they're all swimming in cash. I don't really care, I just sort of ignore it. I move cash around, too, with JM Pescado's money order... for when college kids move out graduate/etc.Maohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055085789427987065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12852250793632839442010-01-05T13:01:50.838+11:002010-01-05T13:01:50.838+11:00I love Lake and Kendal, such a cute couple.

I also raised tuition-but Apple Valley has a scholarship for poorer sims to attend university, so it doesn't make too much of a difference for poorer families. However, Apple Valley doesn't have many poorer families. I think I might have to reroll some net-worths in the hood.Apple Valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211791410107503046noreply@blogger.com
