Spring 3: Beth

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time with Beth, her and Mao got married and had 2 daughters Hazel and Mia.

Between last time and now, Beth and Mao have moved out and no longer live with Ben and Celene, the two of them now live in a pre-built house in Brindleton Bay. They also adopted a puppy Maya from Megan. I’m only realizing now that there is a Maya and a Mia in this household…

Anyways, here’s the house!

The main floor with the girl’s bedroom.

And the top floor.

Mia and Hazel are quick to explore their new surroundings.

This guy shows up as the sole member of the welcome wagon. Beth invites him in.

While Mao keeps him entertained.

Beth has still got skills to work on for her aspiration.

But soon infant care takes a priority.

Mao is still working on writing her books, she’s got several children’s books, but she’s slowly moving onto other genres.

COME ON! The girls just got put down for a nap and Maya walks in and wakes them up. I ended up locking Maya out of their room.

Hazel in particular seems to like Maya a lot, she’s always trying to say hi to her.

Aw, it looks like Mia had a blowout.

Mao gives her a bath once she wakes up.

Beth is outside and a ghost comes by randomly???

Soon it’s birthday time for the girls!

Mia is now Wild, she also got Top-Notch Infant.

Hazel is now a Charmer and she also got Top-Notch Infant.

Mao starts on potty training.

While Beth converts the cribs into toddler beds.

Once she’s done Beth joins in on the potty training too.

After potty training, Beth has got a couple little shadows following her around.

These two cuties are enjoying the dinner Beth made for them.

Maya for some reason becomes obsessed with the toilet.

And then she ages up to look exactly like Snuggles.

Beth takes her for a jog…

And Maya gets sprayed by a skunk!

Cool! Mao’s book got nominated for an award… Too bad they won’t be able to go to the award ceremony, I’ll be with Ben on Sunday.

Beth is working on her guitar skill, so her little shadows are watching to get their Imagination up.

Mao takes breaks between her book writing to play with the girls.

THIS DOESN’T SOUND FAMILIAR AT ALL… For those that don’t know, this nightmare was a fairly common glitch in Sims 3.

Beth is working on her wellness skill, she has to get 8 skills to level 8.

Maya gets plenty of attention, but she’s glitched so she’s never happy. She just stands around and does nothing all the time.

Everyone’s pretty sad that Maya’s gone, so Beth is working extra hard to cheer the girls up.

But it doesn’t take long for Maya to return!

Mao makes sure to greet her.

And then give Maya a bath, which also caused a glitch because Maya was never getting clean. I ended up using MCCC to cheat her motives up.

It’s been a very rainy Spring in Brindleton Bay…

But now that it’s sunny, the girls can finally play outside! (Under Beth’s watchful eyes of course.)

It’s Love Day, so Beth and Mao send the girls to daycare while they go out on a date!

The two of them head out for dinner at Chez Llama for dinner.

And it looks like they’re not the only couple there.

They order some wine and food.

This is their first real dinner without kids for awhile, I think they enjoyed it.

Up until the rampaging werewolf turned up.

And Mao got food poisoning. I didn’t even now this could happen!

On the plus side, leaving the lot seems to have fixed Maya’s glitch!

Maya will actually be happy about these jogs now.

It’s another sunny day, so the girls spend some more time outside!

They both manage to max all of their skills with 2 days of toddlerhood to spare!

These kids are so cute!

Mia even tries to mimic Maya and looks all sad when Maya just looks at her.

The family then takes a trip to the beach for the day.

The girls have fun splashing around.

Beth goes swimming around.

While Mao tans and keeps and eye on the girls.

There was also a celebrity at the beach which lead to a lot of people freaking out and fainting.

The celebrity did say hi to Maya at some point though.

After her swim, Beth helps the girls build some sand castles.

Mao got a tan from all her laying in the sun.

They come home to a broken toilet which Maya gets herself dirty playing in the water… I guess she’s going to need a bath now.

Anyways, that’s all for now. See you next time!

Winter 2: Megan & Max

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time Max and Megan graduated early, Grant completed a few aspirations, and Megan did a lot of hanging out with dogs.

Megan, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?????
Megan: “I’m celebrating the holidays.”
It’s not even Winterfest yet.

I find Max on the grill outside making food. I’m just glad he doesn’t catch on fire, Grant is the one who does most of the cooking around here

None of the dogs in the household have been fixed or neutered, so I decided to try something I’ve never done before and see if I can get some puppies!

Megan still needs to befriend a bunch more pets for her aspiration, so I sent her off to visit Kevin Puri, who is a teenager living alone with 7 dogs in Henford-On-Bagley… How did this even happen???

Megan manages to make friends with two of the dogs before she heads home.

WHEN DID YASMIN DIE??? (And how does Max even know her?)
Well, there goes that option for Cain’s love life. The poor guy has zero luck in that department.

With three dogs in the house, these two go on a lot of jogs (though I limit Grant to 1 a day, I don’t want him to die on me).

Oh look, I guess this is why Kevin is living alone as a teen.

Megan manages to befriend 1 or 2 more of Kevin’s dogs before heading home again.

What? WHEN DID GRANT DO INVESTING??? AND HOW??? Is this a thing that sims can do in this game???

YES!!! Puppies are on the way!

Though I get the feeling that this combination could be interesting.

Grant spends most of this rotation painting for his current aspiration. I checked with MCCC to see how much longer he had left to live… AND HOLY SHIT. I knew he was going to live a while cause he did the body builder aspiration, but I didn’t expect 80 FREAKING DAYS. Gen 2 are probably all going to be elders before he even dies!!

Max has mostly been going to work and logging hours on the computer for his aspiration.

And Megan is back at Kevin’s place!

Seriously, this kid never seems to go to school.

He also owns one funny looking dog! Look at the bulging eyes on this thing!!

Megan still manages to make friends.

She also befriends one of the puppies Kevin has too. LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!!

As a real life lactose intolerant person I find it hilarious and appropriate that Lactose Intolerant sims get happy from eating dairy!

Though out of all the food in that fridge, Megan goes for the one thing that has dairy in it.

She even pays for her choices later!

The Snuggles has her puppies!! Look how cute they are!! They’re both girls, the one with Snuggles’ colouring is called Maya, while the one with Chiquito’s colouring is called Butter. Maya is Adventurous, Active, and Vocal, while Butter is Active and Adventurous.

The puppies became instant friends with everyone in the household, which means Megan has all the pet friends she needs!

Snuggles aged into an elder shortly after the puppies were born.

She’s a sweet old lady now.

Honey also aged up.

But she doesn’t really look any different.

I would not want to be the person to piss Megan off.

Grant needs to veiw some paintings at a museum for his aspiration, so off he goes!

He now just has to paint 5 masterpieces… I wonder how many aspirations I’ll be able to get done with Grant.

That was fast. Literally the first painting he did after returning back home was a masterpiece.

Megan has been working on upping her relationship with Butter so she can feel the love.

That was fast. Max is already at level 5 in his career, now he just has to log some more hours on the computer and his aspiration is done.

It’s Winterfest and even Father Winter has to say hi to the puppies!

Megan was able to Feel the Love with Butter, so now all she has to do is play with 2 ghost pets!

But first she gets a present from Father Winter.

Which she hates.

Grant decides to do some flirting with Father Winter before asking for a present.

It must work, cause Grant is pretty happy with his gift.

Max is next.

And he gets a post card… Seriously? I know these are a collection in this game, but as a present??

This is when I decided that they will not be keeping both puppies, Butter is staying, but Maya has gone to live with Beth and Mao.

UM, WHAT? I don’t even know who these people are, but does this mean anything???

Max only needs a couple more hours on the computer and it’s power shut off day… COME ON!

Max isn’t impressed either.

Instead I send him to the library, which has full functioning power.

It’s also where he decides to hack the Lothario Trust Fund.

He only gets $235.

But he finishes his aspiration! I gave him the Master Vampire aspiration next.

He looks up information on vampires.

And then reads one of the vampire books.

The next step is for Max to become a vampire, since in this file Lilith and Caleb Vatore are both dead at this point, Max tracks down Vlad who is living in a crappy house in Del Sol Valley instead of his mansion.

Max needs to build some relationship with Vlad before he can ask him to turn.

Max askes Vlad about vampires and this is his response… SERIOUSLY, YOU ARE A VAMPIRE!!

It turns out Vlad is Evil and since Max is Good, BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP IS NOT WORKING. EVERYTIME THEY GET SOMEWHERE VLAD HISSES OR MAX SAYS SOMETHING DUMB AND THEY END UP BACK WHERE THEY STARTED! GAAAAAAH!!!

GRANT SERGIO IS DEAD, GIVE IT A REST!!!

I give up on Vlad and decide to try Georgia instead as she’s a vampire as well… SHOULD I BE CONCERNED OVER THE 3 GRAVES???

Oh look, I found Caleb.

No idea who this is.

But this is Finn’s mom, she must have married Caleb at some point.

Max starts talking with Georgia and this is already going so much better. I checked Georgia’s family tree, and it turns out she’s Jade and Caleb’s daughter… I could have sworn she was Vlad’s daughter last time I looked at her family tree (back when Carter and Cain brought her home from school with them).

Max is finally able to ask Georgia to turn him.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!

And back to Vlad it is.

I ended up using cheats to up Max’s relationship with Vlad because this was not working and I was going insane.

FINALLY!

It is now 7am, Max started this vampire thing at 3pm the previous day…. THAT IS HOW LONG THIS CRAP TOOK!

When Max gets back, it looks like Snuggles is sick.

So Megan takes her to the vet and picks up a bunch of wellness treats while she’s there.

Max is not having a good time. I love how you can see the vampire bite marks on his neck.

It’s night time, so Megan heads off to Brindleton Bay to find ghost pets! Now I just have to find the cemetery.

Found it!

I love this place, it has a wonderfully spooky atmosphere… There definitely needs to be more graveyards in this game, cause this place is awesome.

GHOST CAT! He’s called Mr. Business!

Um, this is when I realize that Megan decided to go to a graveyard on a full moon. The werewolf disappears after this, but howling is heard all night.

Ghost dog! He’s called Burger!

Megan plays with the two ghost pets.

And finishes her aspiration!! Her new aspiration is Strangerville Mystery.

Oh wow, the entire island is full of ghost pets!

Megan has to say hi to this dog cause he’s called Captain.

Megan checks out the view from the light house before she heads back home for some sleep.

Grant does more painting, he’s at 2/5 masterpieces now.

When Megan wakes up, she takes Chiquito for a jog.

Max spends his time getting through all the vampire books.

And Butter is now an adult!

She looks a lot like Chiquito, but she’s got floppy ears and is a bit fluffier.

That was fast.

Just in time for Max to become a vampire! I was worried he wouldn’t turn until after I left the household.

HAHAHAHAHA, I definitely need to change Max’s dark form.

That’s better.

Max was a little hungry, so he asked Grant for a little snack. I’m not sure Grant knows what to think of this new developement.

Vlad then calls to check on him. I find it funny how vampires in the Sims 4 die in ways completely opposite to Sims 3. In Sims 3 vampires can die of thirst, but they can’t die from the sun (they just pass out), and in Sims 4 vampires can’t die of thirst, but they can die from the sun.

These 3 celebrate New Years.

And afterwards, Max invites Vlad over to get some vampire training.

Turns out even the dogs hate Vlad.

And that’s all for now, see you next time!

Fall 2: Grant

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time in Grant’s household Finn and Grant completed their aspirations, Megan spent a lot of time with the dogs, a pool was built, Grant threw a Kava Party, Finn became a YA and moved out, and Grant got a fear of ghosts and decided to fight one of his dead husbands.

We start off with Megan trying to become companions with Snuggles.

Max is still trying to work on his mobile app.

Grant is swimming in the pool in the shadow of the graves of his FOUR dead husbands.

Snuggles may be Max’s dog, but Max is Lazy so Megan takes her out for a jog.

And then there’s Honey who is ALWAYS GETTING DIRTY.
Grant: “Seriously, again?”

Grant is still working on the beach life aspiration and he has to explore the sea cave.

His trip didn’t really go well.

Grant now has to find some buried treasure and while he was searching…

He came across a random grave in the middle of the path! I have no idea who Mario is or how he died.

One buried treasure found and Grant is on the last milestone!

Now he just has to fall asleep in a lounger.

He may be Lazy, but I do make Max take Snuggles for a jog sometimes.

Especially since Megan is busy with Honey.

It turns out Megan is available for early graduation!

Which I said yes too!

And so is Max!

So Max also graduated early!

I wonder what the diploma’s look like?

And Grants asleep…

Which means his aspiration is complete!

I gave him the fabulously wealthy aspiration next and he completed it instantly. I gave him the painting one next.

Megan is still working on Snuggles…

While Max decided to do some hacking.

He then got a job as a video game streamer since he has to wait till he’s a young adult to join the tech guru career.

Megan needs to befriend 5 pets, so she hosts an adoption event to get to know some more dogs.

She starts off with this dog.

And it seems Max has caught a cold or something.

1 dog befriended so Megan moves onto the next. Then the adoption event ended before she could finish and then her relationship with the dogs disappeared! So she ended up hosting another adoption events and the family temporarily adopted the three dogs.

These are the three dogs:

I didn’t know Sleuth dogs were a thing…
Megan is now friends with 5 dogs and now she has to train out 4 misbehaviours, so they’ll be keeping the dogs until then.

There are now 5 dogs in the house… Megan sets about taking Chiquito for a jog.

Grant became a celebrity from selling paintings.

Looks like Megan woke up with acne this morning, she applied some cleanser and concealer and was good to go!

Max is doing some streaming for his new job.

And then Carter called Max about Sasha. Max told him he should decide for himself.

Megan is getting pretty skinny with all of the jogs she has to take to keep all of these dogs happy.

And then Grant maxed the painting skill.

And Megan is now companions with Snuggles!

These two are usually too busy to hang out much, but they’ve managed to grab a few minutes over breakfast.

And then it seems Max leaked some confidential stuff at work. He ended up denying everything.

But it all worked out!

It’s Harvestfest which means gnomes!

Max didn’t make his gnome too happy, but he managed to pacify it afterwards.

Grant succeeded on the first try though. It’s also power conservation day hence it’s all dark.

Megan spent most of the day with the dogs trying to get to the point where she could “feel the love”.

Grant also got his first celebrity quirk!

Then Max maxed both the video gaming and programming skills at the same time.

Yes! Megan is onto the final milestone now… She’s going to have to befriend 15 pets… This might be awhile.

It’s now time for Grant’s, Max’s, and Megan’s birthdays!

He’s the last of the original Drama Llama to become an elder!

Max is now a Glutton, which joins Lazy, Good, and Collector. He’s working on the Computer Whiz aspiration.

Megan adds Paranoid to Slob, Lactose Intolerant, and Animal Affection. She’s doing to Friends on the Animals aspiration.

At the end of this rotation Myrtle and Molly will be moved to a new household.

Now that he’s a young adult Max can join the tech guru career!

Carter stopped by for a visit and it seems like he’s no longer trapped in that hat from prom!

Anyways, that’s all for now!

Summer 2: Grant

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time Finn couldn’t make up his mind on who to date, Elissa or Ella, Grant married two different men for their money, each one died in ‘mysterious’ circumstances, and Megan and Max became teenagers. Alright, it’s been awhile since I’ve played this (or written for my blogs) so let’s see how good my notes are!

We start things off with Megan rolling a Want to flirt with Beth! I pinned it, but she isn’t going to do it anytime soon as Beth is now a young adult so it would be kind of weird.

Max here is cold even though they’re in the middle of a heat wave…
Max: “The air conditioning is on!”
Yes, because it is freaking HOT OUTSIDE!

Well that was fast. Finn’s new aspiration is Friend of the World, though I probably won’t work on it much till after he ages up.

The teens all have homework, so they all sit together on the couch to get to it!

Grant meanwhile is still working on the Body Builder aspiration, I think he just has to max the athletic skill.

It looks like I lied, Finn is out meeting people for his aspiration, I don’t think he ends up meeting the 10 new people he needs yet.

Megan meanwhile has become the designated pet caretaker with her aspiration and is working on befriending Oreo.

Oh yeah, I gave Finn the Great Kisser reward trait last time, so talking to those people was enough to max out his skill.

Oh look, he does end up meeting 10 people! Man I don’t remember any of this.

Honey to no surprise needs a bath, I swear this dog is always rolling in mud puddles.

Um, what are Oreo and Snuggles doing????

Looks like they finished cause Oreo decided he wanted to attack Megan. *face palm* That is not how you make friends Oreo!

Snuggles meanwhile was transfixed by the spinning washer.

The ghost of Marcus made an appearance, though I’m not sure what he’s embarrassed about, maybe for falling for Grant’s ridiculous lines?

ABOUT TIME!!! It feels like he’s been working on this FOREVER! I gave Grant the Beach Life aspiration.

These guys have money to spare, so I went and put in a pool!

Honey, who loves to swim, found it almost immediately.

Grant needs a tan so he parked his butt on one of the loungers. I’m just glad he’s not doing it naked.
Grant: “I should, to avoid tan lines, but Serena threatened me with castration if she ever catches me naked in public.”

*sigh* These dogs always seem to be fighting with someone. This time it’s Oreo and Honey.

With Monday comes school projects, so everyone pitches in!

I’m starting to hate this fear, it feels like everyone gets it!

While at least this ghost is being useful.

Though I’m not sure what’s going on with these two here…

Now that’s what I want to see from you Finn!

This is uh… Carter? I think?

Anyway, he’s here cause Grant is throwing a Kava party!

Though this guy showed up uninvited.

Grant: “Time to get drunk!”
Serena: “Did you really have to invite my ex?”

Darrell: “Now how did I end up here?”

Conner, there’s already food, you didn’t have to microwave anything!
Conner: “I’ve never used a microwave this nice before!”
That’s cause everything in your house is cheap.

And success!

I can’t remember why I moved the projects inside, but I assume it was raining or something.

With everyone working on the last project, it gets done pretty quick.

They must have a day off from school, cause Finn invited Elissa over! (I just now realized someone left some dirty laundry in the yard… This is what happens with a bunch of Slobs and Lazy sims!)

Finn woos her with some poetry.

Gah! I just love these two together.

My MCCC settings apparently allow teens to get engaged…

So Finn proposes to Elissa!

Meanwhile Grant watches everything like a creeper…

Seriously Grant! Conner is married… TO AVERY!!! WHO YOU WANTED TO FLIRT WITH LAST TIME!!!
Grant: “What can I say, I’ve never had a threesome before.”

With the kids at school, Grant is off to Sulani in search of a coconut.

Coconut acquired, now he needs to eat it.

And another milestone down!

Grant has to do some beach combing, which is basically how he spends the rest of the day.

Looks like Lincoln was at the beach too! Though I imagine the rain kind of ruined things a bit.

Megan is super dirty and apparently Carter came for a visit… I have no real idea why I took this picture.

The next day Grant is back for more beachcombing! He manages to finish…

and now has to grill a bunch of stuff.

It looks like the power’s off and Sarah (I think) came for a visit!

I’ve decided I’m going to have Finn be the first of my sims to go to University! So he’s off to apply, I’ll be figuring out how all of this works as I go.

Sarah seems to have switched her attention Max, and looking at their expressions, I wouldn’t be surprised if the two of them were flirting.

Megan meanwhile finally managed to become companions with Honey!

Just in time for Finn’s birthday!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME???? FINN IS NOW EVIL!!!! WTF!

Surprising personality development aside, it seems Jade has decided to visit her son for like the second or third time I think.
Finn: “Mother.”
Jade: “Did you really think I was going to miss your birthday?”
Finn: “When have you ever come to my birthday before?”
*awkward silence*

Grant is home again, and still working on grilling food.

It looks like Jade isn’t the only one to show up for Finn’s birthday, at least he and Ella are friends.

Max has started to make a mobile app! This is the first time I’ve had a sim do this.

Elissa is now a young adult as well, so Finn invites her over!

He gets her to move in, and she also applies to university!

I gave her a quick makeover. Anyways, Elissa Walsh is an Art Lover, Child of the Ocean, and Genius. I gave her the aspiration Academic. I’m going to test out University with these two!
I checked her family tree and it turns out she’s the child of Darling Walsh and Duane Estrada (the party crasher).

I bought the family a second computer so Finn could check his application and he got accepted!

Finn: “Wait, that means I’m going to have to do a lot more homework!”
Yeah… That’s university!

And Max is now going through a phase.

As an Art Lover, it made sense for Elissa to take up painting.

Seriously? How many dead husbands do you have haunting this place?

Grant: “They’re just so frightening.”
YOU ONCE SLEPT WITH A GHOST!!

That’s how you get over this fear? This’ll be interesting…

Grant: “To conquer my fear we must brawl!!!!”
Marcus: “WTF!”

Well, Marcus may hate him now, but Grant is no longer afraid of ghosts.

Elissa checked her application, but she hasn’t been accepted yet, I guess she has to wait till next rotation. I moved her and Finn (with Oreo) out into a house in the town which came with University.

Anyways, that’s all for now, see you next time!

Spring 2: Grant

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time everyone had birthdays, everyone got sick, Grant got remarried and quickly became a widower again, the family adopted 3 puppies Honey, Snuggles, and Oreo, and I got rid of my cc hair colours, so most of the family has a new hair colour. Oh, I also bought Discover University cause it was on sale, so some of the Gen 2 kids will go to university!

Of course the rotation starts off with one of the dogs being sick. Oreo is looking pretty miserable.

So Finn takes the poor pup to the vet.

Max and Megan quickly became BFFs for one of their aspirations, I can’t remember which of them has to social aspiration.

Ella and Eli are added to the Teen Club, and Finn starts a meeting.

It looks like the Kids Club had a meeting too. Based on this photo, I think Max is the one with the Social aspiration.

Alright, getting three dogs at once may have been a bit much.
Grant: “You think? The fridge is broken and one of them is drinking from the puddle while the others are trying to harass me!”
At least when Finn moves out he’ll be taking Oreo with him.

Grant: “Great, now Honey needs a bath… AGAIN.”
Honey seems to be one of those dogs who is always getting dirty.

Oh yeah, this was my first time playing since the new update! Finn is the first to get a fear.

He’s now afraid of death! I wonder how many fears are out there?

ELI! What are you doing???
Eli: “Relaxing. Do you know how stressful it is to have 5 siblings?”
Can’t you do this in your own house?

Oh come on! Now Snuggles needs a bath too.

Honey is only just getting her bath!

Honey finishes her bath and immediately goes to attack Avery. These dogs are not exactly well behaved.

Max needs some adult friends, so the rest of Drama Llama was invited over.
Avery: “Aren’t you just a sweetheart. How did you get born into a family like this?”

Grant: “So. Many. Dogs.”
At least I only got three, you do have one more household space left.

Looks like Max made quick work of befriending the adults! I gave him a new aspiration, but I didn’t write down what it was. I think it may have been the motor one.

To conquer a fear sims have to complete a task or something. Finn’s is to Discuss Fears with someone, so he talked to his BFF Ella. When it didn’t work I hovered over the fear thing, and it said he has to talk to an elder or ghost.

The club gatherings were ended and Finn invited his friend Elissa over. She aged up very cute!

Normally I try to avoid sims becoming partners with those who’s hair colours are too similar, but I honestly just love these two together.

Finn: “Damn she’s hot.”

It doesn’t take long for them to have their first kiss and start dating.

Oreo it seems was not a fan of all the noise they were making in the shower.

Grant: “That’s my son!”
Yeah, Grant got up to cheer at is son for getting some action. *face palm*

Grant then got this fear.

Really? Isn’t this a bit hypocritical?!

He also promptly rolled this want… It is not happening Grant! Avery is happily married!!!

Uh, Leo is dead Grant.

Oh look, he’s haunting.

I tried to have Grant talk to Leo, but it didn’t really work.

I know that none of you probably remember who this is, but Brice was the father of Megan and Max.

Um, WHAT? Since when is weather mysterious????

COME ON! You literally just started dating Elissa!!

And Honey is getting into a fight with one of the other dogs.

It must have been some fight cause Homey ran away!

Grant posted an ad for her return and took the other two dogs for jogs.

After their jogs the dogs all had collars and stuff on which they didn’t before… So I’m not entirely sure what was going on, but they kept them. *shrugs*

REALLY FINN??? Do you want to date Ella that bad?

It was Monday, which means school projects!

Wait, when did Finn get Rock Climbing Gear??

Damnit! Sorry Finn, it seems with vegetarians around you can’t have any meat dishes in the house cause they’ll just eat them without even thinking about it. At least in the Sims 3 Vegetarian sims actually avoided meat dishes on their own!

In order the fulfill his new wants Finn invited Elissa over…

And broke up with her… I’m kind of disappoint by this. I really like Elissa.

Honey is back and absolutely filthy!

Megan makes sure Honey knows how much she was missed.

Finn was having a mood swing, so he gets jog to clear his mind.

Grant gives Honey a bath.

Before he takes her out for her own jog!

Um, do these hearts mean Honey is in heat?

Money is starting to get low again and one of Grant’s flings came for a visit…

Ella was also invited over as per Finn’s want.

They flirted.

And they weren’t the only ones.

Grant: “Marry me before you get too old and die!”
Marcus: “I’ve always wanted to get married!”

Grant: “That’s my boy! Getting another girl!”
*face palm* Really Grant?

These two then got married.

And woohooed, and woohooed, but Marcus just wasn’t getting overexerted.

The kids still have projects to do, Finn gets Ella to help with his.

Megan completed her aspiration, I can’t remember if I gave her a new one or not.

REALLY FINN!?!?

Finally. Woohoo just wasn’t doing it, he had to box himself to death.

Grim: “I come here a lot don’t I?”
Yep, and Honey is DIRTY AGAIN!

Anyway, Grant is amassing quite the collection of graves.

And now Finn has two fears. He wants to break up with Ella, why is he worried about her cheating???

And Max is now Clingy. He gets upset everytime he’s not near Grant.

Megan: “Uh, can I get some privacy here?”

And now Finn is going through a phase on top of everything else.

It was lottery day, and Grant may not have won, but the person who did is familiar…

He’s one of Grant’s regular flings!

Oh, it looks like I did give Max the motor aspiration.

Anyways, Grant promptly declared his love for Sergio (Who fell for it, hook, line, and sinker).

Darrell, Rosa’s father came over, despite never having met anyone in this household.

Oh, I think Megan may be doing the social aspiration now.

Yep, I’m pretty sure she’s doing the social aspiration.

Anyway, these two were promptly married.

Sergio brought $500 000 with him (he left the other $500 000 for his ex-wife and kids), and instantly completed his aspiration.

Not being an elder, Sergio can hardly die from overexertion.

A sauna was erected in the backyard and Sergio was locked inside.
Sergio: “It’s getting a little hot in here, I hope someone finds me soon.’

Sergio: “The heat! The steam! It’s too much!”

Sergio: “I think I’m going to faint!”

Sergio then received major head trauma from the seats.
Grim: “Twice in one week, I think this is first.”

HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK???? SHE’S A DOG!!!

Max: “Why do a feel so sad all of a sudden?”
Grim: “I hate the rain. Do you know how much shrinkage it can cause on my robes? These things aren’t cheap!”

And now the grave collection is even bigger.

Ella was in the street, so Finn found her to ask her just to be friends. Finn and Ella just didn’t have the same chemistry that Finn and Elissa had (Finn and Elissa’s relationship went up so much faster).

With all they money they now have, Grant became the first of Drama Llama to hire a maid.

Both twins completed their aspirations just in time for their birthday!

Max is now Good and a Collector. He has the Computer Whiz aspiration.

Megan is now Lactose Intolerant and Animal Affection, with the Friends of the Animals aspiration.

With all the kids being teens, they can each take their own dog out for a jog. Even though Max hates it cause he’s Lazy.

Max is able to start right away on his aspiration (So is Megan, she’s been hanging with the dogs).

I like to think that Finn has realized he made a huge mistake breaking up with Elissa and invited her over.

She is surprisingly receptive to his advances.

And it doesn’t take long for them to be in a relationship again. (I gave Finn the Great Kisser reward, and damn does his charisma got up fast.)
Grant: “That’s my boy!”
*face palm* Seriously, every time?!

And there goes the dogs fighting again.

At least Megan is around to deal with it. She’s pretty much stuck on animal duty cause of her aspiration.

Anyways, that’s all for now. See you next time!

Rotation 4: Grant

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Oh man it’s been awhile, let me just look up what happened with Grant last time… Alright so last time Grant was bit of an inattentive father, Finn became a child and proceeded to make friends with just about everyone, Megan and Max became toddlers and ran wild making trouble with their lack of supervision.

It’s winter now, and Finn is working on the motor aspiration and having a blast.

Grant is inside baking a cake cause…

It’s birthday time for the tots!

Megan is now a Slob, just like her big brother, and I gave her the motor aspiration.

And Max ended up Lazy, so I gave him the creative aspiration.

Max gets a start on his aspiration by throwing glitter and glue all over a peice of paper.

I check on Finn to find that he’s stopped playing on the monkey bars and started dragging anyone who walked by into a conversation.
Finn: “What? I like making new friends!”

Grant is still working on the Body Builder aspiration… It’s been awhile since I’ve played this and all I know is that he doesn’t finish the aspiration this rotation.

Finn: “Yum! This food from the stall smells delicious! The food stall people did a good job!”
Lady: “I’m glad to hear it kid. You really know how to put a smile on my face.”

Megan: “Typing is so boring, isn’t there a better way to do this?”
You need to practice typing for your aspiration.

Finn: “Look at me! No hands!!!”
Please don’t fall and give yourself a concussion.

Max: “Dad. Hey Dad. Dad. Dad.”
Grant: “Why won’t they leave me alone?”
It’s called being a parent, get used to it.

Finn: “Don’t worry, I’ll help you with your homework!”
Max: “Can’t you just do it for me?”
Finn: “But then you’ll never learn!”

Megan: “I’ll do your homework for you, I’ll write a ton of rude words all over it!”
Max: “Uh, no thanks. I guess I’m stuck doing it myself… Unless you want to do it Dad?”
Grant: “Homework is good for you?”

Holy cheese Grant is ripped now!

Megan: *snorts* “You’re making my ears bleed.”
Max: “You are just JEALOUS!”

Finn: “Is the room spinning?”
Oh dear it looks like Finn is sick.

Grant: “Hello boyfriend on mine.”

Grant: “Have I ever told you how attractive I find you?”
Leo: “You’re looking a little stripy.”

Grant: “Then marry me and do something about it!”

Leo: “How can I refuse those muscles?!”

Seriously? EVERYONE is sick!!

Grant: “Let’s have some fun!”
Leo: “I can never turn you down.”

Leo: “I feel funny.”

Leo: *drops dead*

Grant: “Oh no! How could this have possibly happened to me again?”

Grim Reaper: “Couldn’t you have waited till it was warmer?”

Grim: “Alright, looks like it’s a little ahead of schedule for Mr. Sutherland here, but at least he died with a smile on his face.”

Grim: “It’s lovely to see you again Mr. Holmes.”
Grant: “Oh please, I think we know each other well enough for you to call me Grant.”
Grim: “Until next time. Grant.”

And thus Grant’s second husband, Leo, joins the graveyard. He boosted their finances by $10 000, which was very much needed.

The kids return from school totally clueless that their father got re-married and became a widower again while they were gone.

Grant: “I am surrounded by kids.”
That’s cause it’s kids club time again!

This time Carter and Cain are members too! (There is however no Beth or Ben)

Uh, what are you trying to do Eli?

Finn: “ACK! Sorry about that!”

Finn’s new friend is Rosa! Who is now also a member of kids club!

In fact Finn befriends all of the new members.

Much like the rest of Drama Llama this season, Grant is entering adulthood!

The kids all got school projects to work on, though they didn’t have time to start them till the middle of the week.

What’s this?

Puppies! I may come to regret getting three of them, but there’s one for each kid! Oreo is the Border Collie (back left), he’s for Finn and is Stubborn, Aggressive, and Independent. Snuggles is the St. Bernard (middle), she’s for Max and is Active, Vocal, and Glutton. Honey the Dalmatian (front) is for Megan, she’s Active, Aggressive, and Jumpy.

The kids are all looking like they had a good day at school, and it’s only going to get better!

Grant: “Why did you put me through getting THREE dogs? I would have been fine with one!”

Max: “You’re so cute and fluffy!! I love her!!!”

At first I thought Megan’s hair randomly changed colour on me (This happens sometimes with the kids and it drives me nuts), but she looked normal in CAS…

She was sick, so I bought her some medicine…

And it turns out the illness made her hair change colour! I didn’t know that could happen.

If you’re wondering what’s up with all the music playing, this neighbourhood had the NAP where everyone just starts playing instruments all the time, I can’t remember what it’s called.

Max however has an aspiration to complete, and puppies to entertain! (Geez, how did Honey get so dirty?)

Megan: “Ow. The pain is worth the cuteness though!”

I think the washer or dryer broke, this is a first for me.
Grant: “And I’m the one stuck fixing it.”

This kid is unfortunately dressed for the weather.
Kid: “SO. COLD.”
I don’t know why you even left the house like that, in the MIDDLE OF WINTER, but okay.

It’s Winterfest, so Grant made a Grande meal for everyone. (I just noticed that the three kids are clustered at one end of the table, and Grant is at the other.)

Father Winter makes a visit, and Finn charms a present out of him! Don’t ask me what he got, I didn’t write it down apparently.

*Face palm* Can’t a person enter this house without you flirting with them?
Father Winter at least seemed to have some common sense and fled shortly after this.

Leo had his first haunting, I think he’s upset about being used for his money. At least he fixed the shower he broke.

Grant: “My man! How’s it been? Come on in!”

It’s power conservation day, so the house is a little dark right now, the poor kids are struggling to do their homework.

Grant: “It’s been so long, I’ve missed you.”

We interrupt you for doggy birthdays! This is Honey.

And Snuggles.

Who immediately went to drink out of the toilet. *face palm*

Oreo aged up as well!

Finn: “Hi Oreo, you’ve gotten so big! We’re going to be best friends!”

Finn gets the top score on the typing game and finishes the motor aspiration! It’s getting close to his birthday, so he’s not going to be doing another one.

This is my first time with dogs in the Sims 4, and I’m having a lot of fun! Though these two seem to have a habit of drinking out of the toilet.

Dogs: “Play. Play!”
Grant: “I’M SURROUNDED!!!”
I think Grant may not be having as much fun as I am though…

And Honey is napping on the sidewalk, next to a dump one of the dogs did! I think it’s interesting how your sims actually have to clean up their dogs poo here. (They don’t have to do this in the Sims 3)

FINN! Get inside before you freeze, you silly child!
Finn: “But I’m having fun!”

Um, what? Did Oreo just attack Ella, or is Ella getting into a fight with someone else????

Max finished his first aspiration! I gave him a new one, but apparently I didn’t write it down, so it’s a mystery!

Grant’s ‘friend’ came over for another visit (this time with the lights on).

As usual with Grant things quickly went to the bedroom.

And Honey walked in at a bad time, she’s probably wondering what’s with all the noise.

Finn: “OREO!!!”
Finn is having a blast bonding with Oreo.

Honey and Megan have become close too, though I’d imagine a dog would be a bit of a distraction (a good one though) when trying to do homework.

And Finn gets to become a teenager now!

Finn doesn’t actually look a lot like Grant, though they might have similar eye shapes, I can’t really tell here (Cause Finn BLINKED ON ME).

Finn ended up aging up as a brick wall and gaining the traits Vegetarian and Home Turf. I gave him the aspiration Leader of the Pack, I’m hoping he’ll be able to complete it before he becomes a young adult.

Hey look, Finn’s Mom came for a visit! I think this is only the second time she’s ever come to see him (In contrast to Darrell who visits Rosa all the time).

Finn started a club for teens and added Ben,

and Beth!

There’s only three members in this teen club now, but there’s going to be some more teen birthdays next rotation which will help boost their ranks.

Uh, Grant? Where did that drink come from? You don’t even own a bar!!!

Finn still loves Oreo as much as ever.

Crap, I’m already forgetting about this vegetarian stuff. He’s been a teen less than a day!

That didn’t take long, hopefully he’ll be able to get this done in no time!

Finn: “WOOOO NEW YEARS!!”
Megan: “YAY!!!”
Max: “Wait, what’s happening?”
Grant: “Alright, I think it’s bedtime now.”

Awww, Grant’s actually hugging one of his kids!
Grant: “It’s not like anyone’s around for me to kiss.”

And that’s it for now, see you next time with the official start of Year 2!
