Sim Life has been relatively uneventful since my last update. Haven got promoted to level 5 of the business career and switched to politics. She also went to hang out with her niece - who has now aged up to a child - and read her a story. 
Silas has been writing a lot, including some sequels to Alien High and a romance novel called Safe Haven, presumably about how much he loves his wife. He was also asked to write a drama novel for Squall Leonhart, which I named Balamb Garden SeeD Academy.
Around this time, they went star-gazing, and I like to think that tied into their decision to actually try to have a baby, rather than just think about it. I'd redesigned the house, and they had a bit more money saved up. After telling Silas, Haven went and told her parents. This was the last time Haven saw Serena, who died shortly afterwards. Libby had married a random townie called Jess Shaver, but they were rowing every time I saw them together, and he moved out after a little while.
So, this is Avery! My Tiger child, and the next heir. I didn't get any shots of him as a toddler. Silas took him to the library and read all the toddler books to him, and he played with the xylophone and blocks to get his skills up. Both Silas and Haven had hoped for a girl, but I quickly destroyed that wish after he was born so he would never know. Avery was born on Spooky Day. I never seem to have a kid available to trick or treat on spooky day, they all seem to just miss it. I really need to remember to change my seasons timing. Since then, Haven has popped another wish to have a child with Silas, and I'm okay with them having another as soon as Silas wishes for it.
Avery likes hanging out with his grandpa and his cousin Skye ~(now a teenager), pictured here while Silas fixes Jake's TV (too many clumsy traits in this family).
On this trip, Libby decided to flirt with Silas, which made Jake, Skye, and Avery all start throwing them dirty looks. Presumably, it also contributed to Libby's divorce.
He met the rest of the family, and our alien friend, on gift-giving day. Jasper came, because enough time has passed that he considers Haven an acquaintance rather than a nemesis. August and Lucy have died, which made Haven's fifth political promotion quite sad. Her boss was her uncle, Lucy's husband, and he was still heartbroken. Haven was so close to being promoted that I'd invited him over for dinner to ask for a promotion and a raise, which she got, but he kept bursting into tears the whole time.
As the Tiger, Avery's destiny will be to become an astronaut (hence his outfit there), have at least three relationships, at least two children with different partners, and divorce at least once. His youngest child will be the heir. He should also have the self-assured trait, which I don't have. Right now he's a brave, athletic daredevil. Haven has maxed out art and athletic skills, and Silas is close to maxing out writing. Haven's life goal is to reach level 5 of four different careers - and her legacy goal is to reach level 6 of at least one - and she's now done with business and politics, and starting out in catering. I think her final career might be military based, which will then be part of Avery's motivation for joining, along with getting to hang out with an alien on gift-giving day. Silas needs to max out writing and art, and he'll also need to paint portraits of Haven and Avery for the legacy.
I kind of want Avery to have kids with an imaginary friend and an alien, but the only alien we know is already an adult and is male, and Avery's imaginary friend is likely to be male too - I'm pretty sure it's based on the gender of the sim who owns it. Haven has one, but then we run into the age gap again, even if I made it real. If Avery has a sister, she might have an imaginary friend, and I don't object to making that real and ageing it up to match Avery. It'll be like Don't Look Under the Bed meets The Last Unicorn.
