Chapter 2 - Growing Pains

I know I said I wasn't going to tell you what I rolled for the 2nd Generation until I had decided on an heir, but for the following post to make sense you need to know:

Martial Status: Couple
Number of Children: 2
Primary Income: Stylist (yeah I've got 2 straight boys who want to be stylists....)
Secondary Income: Adventurer
Generation Goal: Expansionist
Misc. Fun: No Hand of God

As promised here are Harry and Charlie as they were at the beginning of the story of this post:

 Charlie (2nd Child)

 Harry (Firstborn)

 Harry appears to have inherited his Dad's fat genes, Nelson was big and muscly, Millie is hoping that he also inherits the muscle too, otherwise he is just going to be fat,

Chapter 2 - Growing Pains
Harry immediately took to painting, producing many fine pieces of art that Millie proudly displayed on the walls of their home (Challenge Note: I can't sell the paintings, as generation 2 are stylists, also I did use Hand of God (HOG) a little bit, because I had to, I made the Sims take the painting from the easel, and then HOG'd it to the wall. Otherwise they would have ended up with an inventory full of paintings)

Meanwhile Millie was teaching Charlie how to talk (outside for some reason.... I had to buy a light for them to properly illuminate this screenshot) so that she could get on with working her way up the Career Ladder.

As the days rolled by, Millie got herself promoted to Assistant Principle! This meant she only had to work Monday-Thursdays, although most of the weekend was invariably spent giving lectures at the school, to boost her job performance. Harry continued to paint away, with the walls literally becoming covered in his work.

Finally, Harry and Charlie both had their birthday's within a day of each other, Harry becoming a Teenager, and Charlie becoming a Child.

Teenage Harry

Harry appears to be getting very fat with no sign of muscle. At this point I was going to declare Charlie the heir until....

Charlie as a child.... Is it just me, or is he ugly?

Charlie also appears to have a bit of belly, but it isn't as bad as Harry's was at his age, is there hope yet?


(Challenge Note: At this point, I was expecting to have my heir, and I was fairly sure it was going to be Harry ( I havent changed any of the clothes it chose for them, come on that boy was born to be a stylist ;)). Now though, I don't know... I like Harry's face. but he is massive, and he is only going to get bigger. Charlie is.... well he isn't the prettiest Sim in the world, but hopefully that will correct itself when he ages up. I'll have to make a decision when he becomes a teen because Harry will be nearly a YA)

Sorry for the filler post but at least you can see my legacy now.

Next Time: The Heir is Chosen.
