Welcome back to The Disney Name Game! Finally, right? I mean, I know it's only been two and a half months, but it feels much longer.
I didn't include this in my ISBI chapter, but my shoulder is doing much better now. It's still sore from time to time, but the surgery definitely helped and I've recovered almost completely from surgery. I just need to keep working on strengthening things at home.
We start this adventure with Yori trying out knitting and the family's new rocking chairs. She's less than thrilled about knitting though.
Iduna absolutely adores the rocking chair, and sneaks out to do this whenever I'm not looking.
Kaiden arrives home from work with a promotion, and this look on his face. I joked with Roxanne that this must be him arriving home from sneaking off to see Simon Gregory in her Gregory Legacy.
Ortensia is still my favorite because I love her blue hair. She's also just maxed her creativity skill.
Yax and Rajah are playing on the community playground behind the house with their cousin Adelynn (Zeus' daughter.)
Yzma is still around and has completed her nerd brain aspiration. I gave her fabulously wealthy next because I know she'll be dying soon, so I'm just going to devote my time and energy toward everyone else in the house.
Iduna spends a lot of time to herself now that Rajah isn't a toddler anymore, and so soon she maxes her movement skill.
Ortensia is just THRILLED to have finished her Artistic Prodigy aspiration, can you tell?
Maxed potty.
Yzma's age bar is sparkling already, and she's only done one instant upgrade.
Kaiden's mature adult birthday has arrived. That tends to happen a lot though when you have a lot of sims in the house of varying ages.
Yori celebrates her husband's birthday by screaming in his ear. To which, Kaiden seems very indifferent.
I'm ever-so grateful this isn't an ISBI so that we can just admire how cute Iduna is passed out instead of losing points for it.
After a quick nap, Iduna maxes out her imagination skill.
Believe it or not, that all happened within a day of Yzma upgrading the stove. But soon her time comes.
Goodbye Yzma, you will be missed! I really loved having you and your blue hair in the family!
Her urn was placed right next to Gunther's in the family mauseoleum.
Yax has finished the rambunctious scamp aspiration. I gave him artistic prodigy next, but that doesn't really matter.
Because today is his teen birthday!
I think it's pretty funny that he aged up in the same hair as Simon Gregory since technically they're half-brothers.
Anyway, here he is after his makeover. I think he's very handsome.
I immediately have him begin working on getting some bits and pieces so he can start fabricating right away.
Initially, he has really good luck with the fabricator and makes a few items without failing.
But his luck eventually runs out. Though, I will say for the most part, he's the most successful with it of all the sims I've ever had use one.
Iduna is still pretty much raising herself and has maxed her thinking skill, which means she's maxed all of them now.
Yax makes her a very poor quality birthday cake and then helps her blow out the candles.
I think she's really adorable, but I do wish she had blue hair to go with her blue eyes.
So apparently when you have the green initiative from the NAP voting, you need to have insects too? Which is totally weird, but whatever. The grubs are kinda cute honestly.
Not pictured ever but you can make grub dogs on the grill with them. Yuck.
I sent Simon to the community lot in Evergreen Harbor so that he could look for more things to recycle for bits and pieces.
When he got home, Sofia Bjergsen was outside and they hit it off really well and soon Yax got his first kiss with her and then asked her to be his girlfriend. Somehow through all of that this is the only picture that I got.
Ortensia completed Rambunctious Scamp.I gave her Whiz Kid next.
I believeâ this is Rajah maxing her motor skill.
So while Yzma died on Yax's birthday, her ghost comes out to hug Ortensia on her birthday.
Ortensia heads upstairs to blow out her candles.
She does NOT seem pleased to be a teenager.
Okay, so Ortensia is definitely my favorite (even if she doesn't have the blue eyes) but if she wins I'll have to have EIGHT pregnancies. But, she's just so pretty!
The night after Ortensia's birthday, it's time for Yori to join Kaiden as a mature adult.
She looks the same, I don't really see any wrinkles or anything (probably because of my default skins, honestly.)
She ends up maxing out her body skill.
Kaiden has grown a cowplant, or a Little Simzee technically, for part of his aspiration.
Yori arrives home with a promotion to the top of the Interstellar Smuggler branch of the Astronaut career.
This girls facial expressions are killer.
However, it looks like Rajah doesn't want to be outdone and gives me a killer RBF look when I take her picture to show that she's completed (after this drawing) her artistic prodigy aspiration. Next is Whiz Kid.
Ortensia reached the top of the scouts career/club!
Iduna has finished her Whiz Kid aspiration. Next she's going to do Rambunctious Scamp.
Rajah still had a ways to go in Whiz Kid, so when her birthday rolled around I went ahead and let her celebrate.
She looks a lot like her father, and definitely has his mouth which is quite large on a female.
After a makeover she looks much better.
She immediately starts knitting and getting progress on her aspiration.
Winterfest comes again, and the whole family decorates their very first Christmas Tree.
I grabbed them a few presents - some cat things for our cat lover Rajah and then Iduna wanted a toy version of the cauldron (which is just the regular cauldron sized down a lot.)
Ortensia and Yax didn't really get anything from me because I had already pretty much given them everything they needed.
If you were wondering why the family got cat things, it's because the Christmas present to the whole family was this cute kitten we named Nala.
If you were curious, because I was, you can still cook the macaroni or whatever in the cauldron with it sized down this small.
Soon Father Winter brought everyone presents, so everyone opened them. Nobody really got anything good to be honest, and what they did get I either scrapped for bits and pieces or sold since their house is still fairly bare.
I did ad a little knitting/crafting nook in the basement between the recycler/fabricator area and the mausoleum. It looks like Yzma and Rajah both approve.
Yax's young adult birthday is coming up soon, and he's SO close to the scouting aptitude trait. I sent him to Sulani to fish (it was too cold back home) but for some reason he didn't get credit there. So I had him grill a bunch of things while he was at the beach (hence how I knew about the grub dogs.)
Then when he got home he claimed his last badge and completed the scouts.
Afterward, he headed downstairs to blow out his YA birthday candles.
Yax adds clumsy to his list of traits, he now has his mother's exact personality just in a different order.
As soon as I got out of the mirror from taking the picture of Yax as a YA, Nala aged up into a beautiful cat.
Her eyes are huge, but she's really cute.
Yzma is embarassed from awkward socialization with Kaiden. Meanwhile Rajah has just maxed out her knitting skill.
Yori FINALLY maxes out her mischief skill and completes Chief of Mischief. I gave her bodybuilder next since her fitness was already high. Though, I may regret this if Ortensia becomes heir, lol.
Iduna quickly finishes her Whiz Kid aspiration. I gave her Artistic Prodigy next but she only has a few hours left before her birthday.
And it's time for the last birthday of the chapter!
At first I thought Iduna was a near face clone of Rajah, but she's actually not. They have the same mouth and jaw but that's about it.
Here she is post-makeover. Looks like that cauldron she got for Christmas wore off on her.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the generation. I'm really pleased with the variety. I would actually be happy with any of them winning, but please read the pros and cons of each potential heir below their poll picture here in a few slides.
Here's a quick family portrait! I love that Rajah is holding the kitty since it's supposed to be HER kitty.
âThat's where we'll leave this chapter! Be sure to scroll down to vote in the heir poll. You can vote here AND on BoolProp if you'd like! You can also just comment on my post on The Sims Forums too! Feel free to check in with me over at BoolProp or on my Twitch Stream in the meantime, I'd love to chat!
