Chapter 1.8

Hello hello! Welcome back to the Whimms! Tate is hanging out with a gnome playing chess while Demi is grilling in the snow. In her athletic clothes. Weirdo

Meanwhile, almost all of our kids are on computers chatting in chatrooms.

It’s almost like they don’t have a whole houseful of other sims in the house to talk to

And then there’s Joker. Who is more than happy to just dance by himself in front of the fire

I love this kid

And let’s not forget Pixel who’s rushing off to join Joker at the radio

Demi and Tate had a moment together and now they have a close dynamic and Demi likes deep thoughts.

That’s so cute!

Tate has a money want! This is GREAT!

The other want is fulfill an aspiration milestone and our current milestone is to have earned 200,000. And the only way to do that is to make money! So this is looking good for our need to earn money for bills!

Demiiiiiiii whyyyyyy!? We don’t have room in the house for a baby!

If you couldn’t tell, our grill gets a LOT of use…

They also have started using the cupcake machine more lately.

Which is funny to me since I always forget that we even have it lol

BIRTHDAY! Woohoo! Joker and Queen get their cakes!

Let us just appreciate the fit that EA decided to gift Joker with

*basks in the glory*

But here they are after their makeovers!

Hey look! Demi is becoming cheerful!

Yay!

And now Tate is a music lover!

Look at us, becoming cultured!

Ace had a whim to repair and object, and luckily for us, our stove was broke! So we were able to get that fixed!

Demi rolled a whim to get a promotion! But since she’s currently at the top of her part time career, we can’t get a promotion.

So the only way to fulfill this whim? Get a new job! Woohoo!

So Demi has now entered the tech guru career!

It may have been an $11 an hour pay cut, but the opportunity to move up will make up for that soon

…the grill is the most active part of the family at the moment

Oh crap…

This is why Demi needed a new job.

Nooooooo, Bess! I’m trying to pay my bills! That 1 simoleon is going to go a long way!

Being without power is not going well for the family…

Thankfully, Tate has the “fulfill an aspiration milestone” whim locked in so we’re hitting the easel HARD to make those simoleons!

Now with the power back on, the family can go back to ignoring each other.

And we had to clean out our fridge of stuff that spoiled with the loss of power.

Jack… You know we never lost our water privileges… You can shower…

Cozy fireplace and smooth tunes are two of Pixel’s favorite things

wait, what?!

Noooooo!

…she looks the same

Ace is the first of all of my sims to ever earn the fear of homework lol

Thanks Ace!

Oh look! Someone started building a snow pal!

No idea who lol

NOOOOOO! PIXEL! YOU JUST BECAME OLD! THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU!

We had to post an alert immediately, obviously, and Tate is so worked up about it.

Poor guy

Woohoo! Demi got a promotion! And she now makes what she used to before her career change!

Jack is enjoying winter lol

He’s the one responsible for all the snow pals around, I’m assuming

We’re sabotaging our rival! We will prevail!

PIXEL!

You came back!! And with a gift! yaaayyy!!

… don’t leave me again

Woo! Victory!

Demi! Gideon is a CHILD! You can’t become enemies with child!

You’re terrible!

Wow. The kids have been busy this week!

Woo! Jokesters!

And still no one is surprised lol

And another pair, just for good measure

Look at the whole family spending New Year’s Eve together!

Well, except King. Who is, in fact, sleeping.

4am Sunday rolls around the house is sound asleep.

Except for Joker who is having a late night potty break

Well, that brings us to the end of this chapter. We still have over a week left before we have a birthday, so no heir poll yet for the Whimms.

So I guess join us next time to see where our whims take us!

Tootles!
