Round Fifteen - Blondeau

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - The kids all actually wanted to do their homework in this house! Thanks to ROS, the master bedroom finally got a makeover and doesn't look like Isaac's parents room anymore. Chandler and Anya had their birthday and became teens, and later they went downtown skating. Dev also got a new look, and Isaac too.

Who's Who in the Zoo?

Isaac is the youngest child of founder Ines Blondeau and her husband Noah - his older sisters are Paloma and Estelle. He and his husband Dev have three kids together - twins Chandler and Anya, and Sabine. Their cousins are Adela and twins (again in this family!) Marceline and Clementine.





We open to Chandler giving Pixel some morning love and affection!





Sabine is looking after her own breakfast this morning.



It needs a little work.



She gets to choke down her sad burnt muffin while the others enjoy the fresh sparkly breakfast. But she's got the cuisine hobby so she wants to keep working at it!



Chandler's room needed a new look now that he's a teen!



The girls are sharing a room now, but I'm waiting to make it over until Sabine is also a teenager. 



Relaxing with some games now that the kids are all off to school.





There are still some residual leaves for Dev to take care of out in the yard, even all the way in spring!



Blueberry the eternal!



Nora came over after school!



And so did Navid.



So they had some extra guests for Sabine's birthday!



She's Pleasure B (hedonist) and likes guys with black hair who are handy, but not too good at dancing (may change that later, I think a hedonist would appreciate someone who can dance the night away).



Here's teenage Sabine!



I reorganized their driveway area a little and bought them a car! I think someone had a want for it.



Since all the kids are grown now, Dev's fire truck and grandpa Noah's toy robot have a cherished spot on the mantle piece.



Pixel seeking attention from townies passing by!





Dev having not too much luck working on his project car!



Cameron came over at some point, and there was chemistry with Sabine.





However she did not seem to get along with Veronica who also trouped home with all the kids.



Maybe she views her as competition for Cameron? No need for that Sabine, women support women!



Ah yes that's right, they have three bolts! But he's a romance A Sim so we'll see how far it goes in the long run.



These two just being goofy and romantic :)



Cameron joined Anya for some gaming.



Meanwhile Ms.Cuisine worked hard to impress by setting out fruit plates for everyone to snack on.





Aunt Estelle dropped by to say hello, it's a busy house this round!







Yeah, this is the face of a girl who's crushing!





One of Dev's good townie friends came by too because the more the merrier around here!



Outside wolfie was harassing Beatriz too.



Tickle fights, a very Blondeau trait.



Preening before school.



Today it's time to work at Action Arcade!



They added a small expansion for some retail sales of games, plus a cool new fortune telling machine for the patrons to play around with.





Zelda's the first to try it out!

I had a really fun idea for how to decorate Anya and Sabine's room for their teenage years, since their styles and personalities are fairly different to me. The room is essentially split down the middle and each got to decorate their half their own way!



Here's Anya's half.





And Sabine's!





Bird's eye view. This is definitely one of my favourite rooms I've done!



Back to working on that car!



More kids around today, this time it's Claire and this townie guy.



He's just doing his own thing!



Until Chandler joined in!



Saying hello to Blueberry :)







Everyone's tucking in to bed.



And once again in the morning, snuggles for Pixel!



Another day off to work for Isaac.



Dev's there along with him too!





It's a fun job.





But they still make progress too!



Ewan congratulates him on a great business as Isaac clears everyone out for the day.



Sabine invited Cameron over for a date, he happily accepted.





A little dancing at first. 



Anya was good enough to make everyone sandwiches.





Poor Chandler has all these romance wants but there isn't much choice for a gay teen in Brightmaple at the moment!



Ewan was over tonight as well, hanging out with Anya.





But meanwhile these two were having Sabine's first kiss!



Then a little canoodling on the couch.





Which Isaac and Dev were studiously ignoring.



And it's love!



"Good job on the kiss, I have nothing to compare it to but it seemed great."





Poor Chandler got lectured for breaking the toilet or the shower? You can just fix it Dev, no need to yell!



Pixel watching her servants clean her bowl.





Our two light sleepers in the house were woken in the middle of the night.



And only a prank call!



I decided to change Anya's hobby - it was tinkering, but that doesn't really suit her, so I gave her arts & crafts instead. She hears the call of the muse and must answer!









Everyone just generally doing their own thing this morning.



Featuring a cute romantic interlude from them :) 





An elderly Pixel!





As soon as the kids leave...



Another day, another horde of kids coming to the Blondeau household! This time Jasmine and a townie girl.





She did this strange and unfamiliar gesture at Isaac...



And it was the first time he realized he was getting old and has no idea what the kids are talking about these days!



Trying to teach an old cat new tricks!



She is not amused.



But Anya is determined!



She'll get there eventually...



Paloma came by!



And Anya became best friends with her aunt!



Then Chandler gossiped with her about cousin Marceline...



Isaac had done a little research and learned what that hang loose gesture was all about, and showed it off to Paloma.





It was her turn to feel frustrated with kids and their trends!





Everyone hung out and had a nice time around the house that evening.







Everyone is all tucked in now, and that's it for their round!

Love the room makeovers! The girls really have a different taste 😅
Pleasure and romance sims always seem to find each other - we‘ll see how it ends!
Will the twins turn into adults next round or will it be a house full of teens for a while now?

[kayleigh83]

I had to double check! My teen life stage is a little shorter than the vanilla one, and the twins will age up near the end of next round.

Sabine is only 2 days younger than them, Isaac carried the twins but Dev also got pregnant at about the same time (same sex pregnancy mod overlap!) so they're close to triplets really. But Sabine won't age up til the round after next because of this.

3 bolts! No wonder they fell in love so quickly! We'll see how it goes :)
I love the dual room, hehe, the girls couldn't have more different tastes!
It's also great that they never had a shortage of teens to hang out with!

[kayleigh83]

It's always interesting when a romance Sim has a 3 bolt romance, like will that make any difference to their wild ways? I've had romance Sims decide to settle down before so who knows!
There's such a teen boom in Brightmaple right now, it's really fun!

Love the updates (i havent commented i know im horrible) Its so nice to see how the families are growing....Sad that Anya and Chandler didn't really get any love this time around, but good on Sabine for finding her 3 bolt love!! I love how the guys look too, being all distinguished. Can't wait for the next update...and for the teens to get uploaded when they hit adult of course.

Anya's love life does pick up a little later on in the rotation, as a little teaser lol! But I think Chandler may have to wait til he's an adult to have some suitors, there's a lack of other gay teens currently!
