Sims 3: Zodiac Challenge - Chapter 5, The Dragon(s)

 

In the present, everyone has moved into a bigger house.  Richard and his new wife, Chelsea, go and build a snowman together.

Since Hialeah designed the new house, she was able to build herself a secret vampire sleeping lair.  Her great-great-grandfather, Jake, seems a little surprised that his descendant is an immortal vampire.

Hialeah also got to meet her great-grandmother, Haven, so that was nice for her.

The new house is built into the side of a cliff - because there were limited areas to build a new house in the city - so I've put Hialeah's bedroom, office, and vampiric lair in that area.  There's limited light because there's a massive cliff right next to the window.  And then I put giant curtains over it, to make her even more vampire-y.

It's been a while since I played, so just to remind us all of where I am:  Richard and Hialeah are my twin Dragon heirs for this zodiac challenge (not actually twins, Richard is 12 years younger than Hialeah).  Richard needs to finish two more degrees, so basically earn his PhD.  Hialeah must also achieve professional success.  Currently, she's an architect, but she's eventually going to become leader of the free world.  No hurry, she's an immortal vampire.  They both need to attain a personal nemesis, and I know who that will be but I haven't revealed it yet.  Also living with them is Remy, the second eldest (the third and youngest siblings, Dan and Saoirse, stayed behind).  Remy's goal is to be a master musician, and I'm going to work on achieving that for him too.  He needs to master three more instruments and reach the highest level of success with his band. 

Hey, remember Richard's ex, Hannah?  Her aunt came over and met Chelsea.  She did not seem impressed at Chelsea introducing herself as Richard's wife and talking about how happy she is in the new house.

Chelsea herself doesn't have much of a role in the present, which is probably quite depressing.  I mean, what's the point in studying anything or working at anything when you're from several hundred years in the future?

Still, she's with Richard, so that's something.  This isn't the new house, this is from when they went to uni so Chelsea can complete a bachelors and Richard can complete a Masters.  I first moved them into shared accommodation, where this picture was taken, then moved them back home then back to uni so they could live in a cute little house I built.

See how cute it is?  It's based on that house in the very first sims game where all my original characters lived.  We decorated it with all the gifts Richard's thirsty fans keep sending.  Weirdly, despite being married to him, Chelsea is not famous at all, and we're all okay with that.  If you've come from the future, it's probably best to keep a low profile.

First day, at the student union!

Building a snowman!  We have a massive wall around the garden both to keep out the thirsty fans and the occasional zombie attacks and to main the family secrets.  In this world, the family secrets include Richard being a werewolf, Chelsea being from the future, and the bot-building and chemistry stuff that's happening in the garden shed.  In the homeworld, we can add Hialeah's being a vampire and Bunny's escape from Jenna, though since both are dead now, that one probably doesn't matter much.

...and, Richard has graduated!  His skills are so high that he basically already has 3/4 of any degree he might want to do, so he was able to finish quite quickly.  Chelsea's skills are lower, so she'll be finishing off her bachelors when he returns for his PhD.  But first...back to the city!
