1. Elm-Long

2. Hello! We’re back in Silver Bend! I know you’re excited.
We’re here with the Elm-Long house. Ivysaur and Talin
Elm live with Ivy’s sister Venusaur and her husband Ben
Long. Together they have lots and lots of kids, Corvus,
Fornax, Ara, Draco and Holly Elm are on the left, and
Lavender, Daisy, and Astrid Long on the right.

3. Talin started off his week getting a job as a
security guard. The kids were old enough
now so he could spend time away from
the house.

4. Ivy noticed Corvus was having trouble
seeing to do his homework. She helped
him pick out some glasses to see better.

5. Of course his teacher complained, she had
to hear about it all the next day during her
lunch break. Said he was faking it for
attention. She knew her stepson better
than some old busybody.

6. Fornax looked a little too much like Corvus
with short hair and yellow shirts. He
found a hat in his dad’s closet to wear.

7. Curry was still hanging out with the family.
She like to sit and mimic the kids’ noises
for hours.

8. Talin and Ben were on homework duty.
Ara and Astrid both needed help. And
Daisy forgot to do hers the night before.

9. Once the kids were off to school, Ben got
to work around the house. Having only a
few toilets for such a large family was
taking a toll on the plumbing.

10. Draco had also been ‘forgetting’ to do him
homework. But Ben caught him trying to
sneak away from it.

11. “I was hoping Uncle Ben would make
hamburgers for dinner.” Holly complained.
“I wanted grilled cheese.” Daisy said
stabbing her work into her salad.

12. Talin started his first day of work after the
kids were all tucked into bed.

13. He came home after netting a promotion
on his very first day.

14. Ben waved to Talin as he headed to bed
and turned back to getting breakfast
ready. As the only adult without a job, he
took over most of the domestic duties.

15. The smell of pancakes drifted through the
house, luring the kids downstairs.

16. “Look at all this snow!” Ivy smiled, she
came home early with a promotion. She
planned to walk back to the school to
finish the rest of the day.

17. Her dedication paid off and she snagged
herself another promotion. Venu did as
well.

18. That night was a special night, it was
Holly’s birthday.

19. “Sweet, I can go to high school now!” She
grinned. Holly wanted to the simpler life
of Pleasure while still making a Fortune.
She wanted to be a Prestidigitator after
college.

20. While her outfit was bad. She still
changed into a different outfit. Red after
the berry she was named after.

21. “So our little girl is growing up.” Ivy said kissing Talin.
“Yes, I hope you’re not wanting another one.” Talin said
amused, though he was completely willing. Despite the
fullness of their house.
“No, I’m just so happy.”

22. There was still a thin layer of snow on the
ground when the kids went to school the
next day.

23. Venu came home early with a promotion.

24. Instead of going back to work, she decided
to spend some alone time with Ben.

25. They did head to the library for a little while.

26. “You got some snow on your shirt.” Ben
said brushing it off.
They spent more attention to each other
than the guests.

27. Anna was a frequent patron of the library.
Mainly to support her daughters, but also
to spend some time with them as well.

28. Back home, Venu got quite a shock as she
tried to repair the family computer.

29. Ivy was still making friends with the local
wolves. Though she hadn’t seen her
glowing eyed friend in a while.

30. Another set of birthdays was happening
that night.

31. Daisy went first. Like her cousin, she
wanted to be a Pleasure sim, but she
wanted to be renowned too. More than
anything she wanted to be a Hall of Famer.

32. Lavender went second. She wanted to
raise a big family. As well as be a beacon
of the community as a popularity sim. She
wanted to pursue the Journalism career as
a Media Magnate.

33. Holly needed to max her charisma skill if
she ever wanted to get her dream job.
Talking to Curry really helped. She would
have never though a parrot could come up
with a solution to an oil spill.

34. “Hey Daisy!”
“Hey Lavender!”
“Ready for high school?”
“Yeah, wonder if there’s any cute boys
there.” Daisy mused.

35. Ben sat down to look for a job. The kids
were all in school. Soon the youngest ones
would be teens too. It was about time he
contributed more than domestic services.

36. Talin was taking his turn making breakfast.
He wasn’t as skilled as Ben so cereal it
was.

37. Daisy made lunch after school. She
wasn’t sure how to make grilled cheese,
so it was lunchmeat for now.

38. Emma Diem came home from school with
them.

39. Lavender picked out a new outfit. She
didn’t go for a full make over, but a change
of clothes felt nice.

40. After working out with the radio for a few
hours, she was able to shed her extra
pounds too.

41. At last it was the last bit of birthdays for
the week. All of the alien kids were
growing up.

42. Astrid went first. She wanted to be
popular as well as smart. Eventually she
wanted to become The Law in Silver Bend.

43. Corvus was next. He wanted to be rich
and famous, earning 100k over a lifetime.

44. Draco went in the middle. He chose
romance, but had a deep need to have a
family too. He wanted to woohoo 20
lovers.

45. Fornax was relieved his hat still fit. He was
a simple person with simple needs. A
good book and a plate of grilled cheese.
He wanted to be like his stepmom and be
an education minister one day.

46. And last but not least was Ara. She
wanted a family, and enough money that
she wouldn’t have to live in a house
without wallpaper again. She also wanted
to be a prestidigitator.

47. Poor Curry didn’t quite make it through
the week.

48. Holly cleaned the cage and decided to try
one last time. This time with a sun
conure.

49. Saturday came very quickly. After all the
cake was cleaned up. It was time for Reno.
This time the focus was on the living room.

50. Funds were limited, but the walls had
covering and the floor was carpeted. The
couches were comfy, and the TV was a
networking gifts. The dining room and
entry way also got new wallpaper.

51. Corvus used a little of their remaining
funds for a new outfit. This one suited
him much better.

52. Saturday was a pretty quiet day. Most of
the morning was spent studying for
scholarships.

53. Daisy got a brilliant idea to go on a hike.
Most of the others went with her.

54. Holly stayed behind to teach her new pet
how to talk.

55. Daisy once again made lunch. Still trying
to figure out how to make grilled cheese.
She could ask her parents, but she wanted
to figure it out on her own.

56. Ivy joined her niece in working off some
extra pounds.

57. Talin managed to snag another promotion.
Hopefully he would be off the night shift
soon.

58. Family Sunday rolled around, and Venu
invited the Winters over for lunch.

59. They even brought Akhlut with them.

60. Daisy and Akhlut hit it off immediately.
“What do you think about building a
rocket?” She asked.
“We should put one of these in it.” He said
sagely.

61. Ben and Talin double teamed dinner, of
either hamburgers or spaghetti.

62. The week wound down to a close. Ivy was
just falling asleep when she heard a
familiar scratch on the door.

66. Man this on was a little rough. The quads don’t recognize
Daisy and Lavender as family. So most of Saturday was
finding ways to keep Draco from making out with them.
Fornax was almost just as bad. I really don’t want to split
the family, but I might have to. Cause even friend zoning
them doesn’t work. I think there’s something I can do with
Sim Blender thankfully, but I’ll have to remember what
that is. I didn’t let them bring any kids from school after
Emma because it was too much to deal with eight kids
plus friends. It’s going to be the same way with the Notts
too.
I didn’t fix anything in the scorecard this time yet again.
Careers are still next, but they may have to wait until I get
some decent computer time.
Happy Simming everyone!
