Brief Hiatus

Unfortunately my game issues have caught up with me. I’m currently working on a fix - at this point I’m thinking I’ll have Iris complete her degrees (for photo purposes) in another save and then use Master Controller to give them to her in my main game... Either way, I’m going to get as many pictures as possible, bank a lot of updates, and then I’ll be back!

I promise this won’t be long. I’m going crazy not having it update regularly again.

Iris Alphabet - Update 13

I somehow forgot to include this picture in the last update, sorry!

Iris was excited about doing school a second time over.

While she was at her final exam, though, a fire started back home!

Of course her roommates were useless.

The fire spread like crazy!

The firefighters soon came to the rescue.

Tiffany fainted outside in the snow.

Iris passed both of her exams again.

She hurried back home.

She cleaned up the awful mess that the fire had left behind.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 12

She worked just as hard the second term as she did the first.

She even spent some time photosynthesizing between classes for a sleep and water boost.

She really enjoyed group activity days.

Cooking for her roommates boosted her school performance.

She ended up passing her exams with flying colours, but then she froze!

I had to reset her to get her back home.

As a result, her school performance dropped back to a C.

She was supposed to go home, but the game crashed on the way.

My last save had been before her exams, so she retook them.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 11

She passed her first set of exams with flying colours.

On Saturday she decided to check out the bowling alley.

She did quite well for her first time!

The guy in the lane next to her seemed interested, but she had a boyfriend!

After bowling, Iris went to see an afternoon show at the theatre.

Tiffany what are you doing?

Iris spent some time chatting with her boyfriend back home to boost her social.

Then she went on a cleaning spree, annoyed with her disgusting roommates.

For some reason, some of them still thought it necessary to cook their own food.

Winter came, and off Iris went to her next round of classes.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 10

In the morning, she spent some time painting before her lecture.

She spent class taking notes.

She was determined to do well, so she spent a lot of time studying.

I guess I missed my chance to take a picture of her getting in the shower, but she finally had a shower - I had to reset her twice the first night to get her into bed, so she didn’t need to hydrate for a while.

She enjoyed watching that cooking channel.

She finally decided to start cooking for her useless roommates.

They were immediately appreciative.

Painting was another way to boost her mood and performance.

Thursday and the group activity came all too quickly.

They were gobbling up her homecooked food at home.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 9

Iris decided to try out the science machine.

Back home, her roommates were already starting to struggle with the food situation.

I had an awful time getting her into bed that night.

It was basically morning by the time she cooperated.

In the same room, these two apparently decided to share a bed?

Watching the cooking channel boosted her fun levels in addition to her school performance.

She was excited for her first day of classes.

That’s her dormitory, taken from the same spot where I took the last picture. It’s super close to her first class!

She continued to investigate all the plants she found.

After her first day of class, she spent some time relaxing, and then she studied up.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 8

The first thing Iris did upon arriving was to turn blue.

I wish I’d caught a picture of it - she glowed in this sparkly magical light, and then she was all blue and yellow.

Then she headed inside.

This blue outfit, apparently, is her new outfit #1. The regular purple outfit is #2 and all the rest of her outfits are normal.

Figuring it was just a university thing, I sent her to start working on a painting.

Then she chatted up a buff jock downstairs - not forgetting, of course, that she had a boyfriend already.

I saw a lovely rainbow over the university town while she was at the meet and greet.

She found several plants to harvest.

Then she headed inside.

She rolled a wish to eat candy, so I had her get some from the vending machine.

Iris’s Aptitude Test

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 7

We bought a new replacement treadmill.

Howard’s garden continued to evolve.

One night he and Marissa went to the graveyard together.

For some reason, Ivy was there.

Howard fished while Marissa went into the mausoleum catacombs.

Ghosts of Alphabet descendants.

Iris finally decided to go ahead with her aptitude test.

Even though Isabelle and Ivan hadn’t moved out yet, she decided to go start her first degree.

She settled on Fine Arts.

Off she goes!

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 6

Iris sure was going to miss her twin.

Off they went. Goodbye, Isaac and Ian!

Iris enjoyed being outside.

Even though they also weren’t going to university, Isabelle and Ivan also continued to learn their skills.

The family spent a lot of time in the living room.

The wall phone ringing always means that someone has died.

Iris could push herself harder on the exercise equipment when it was raining.

She narrowly escaped being hit by lightning.

Her treadmill was not so lucky.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 5

Iris continued to work on her skills, wanting to have the highest possible skills for her aptitude test.

Though Isaac wouldn’t be attending university with her, I let him continue to work on a handful of skills that would be useful to him.

She even spent some time working on her athletic skill, though she had to be careful not to dry out.

She became the main cook of the household, preparing food for her elderly human mother.

When Ian and Isaac moved out, the house was going to be a lot emptier.

Iris loved to relax in her room and read her skill books.

Soon, Ian’s birthday came!

He looked a lot like Howard.

Iris and Isaac said goodbye to one another.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 4

Iris and Kevin headed across the street to the theatre.

The vampire fairy guy she’d been talking to showed up.

Then, his friend transformed into a werewolf!

That night the twins had their birthday!

Here’s Iris as a young adult!

And here’s Isaac! I decided to let him stay at home until Ian aged up in two days, so then they could move out together.

Howard? Marissa? What are you doing?

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 3

Iris decided to chat up her romantic interest from prom.

Meanwhile, Isabelle had joined the guys at the beach.

Iris went to meet Kevin at the park.

He’s quite attractive!

They soon shared their first kiss.

She gave him a flower kiss.

Then, she asked him to go steady!

He said yes!

They decided to take a picture together.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 2

Howard went to the consignment store to sell his goods.

I would need some incense for the bedroom sooner than later if I’m going to have the kids doing homework here.

Despite having a romantic interest from prom, Iris wanted to take any opportunity to get friendly with a guy.

You never know when they might go and get a girlfriend.

She went in for the heat of the moment kiss.

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to take it well.

She apologized.

On Leisure Day, the boys all went to the beach.

Iris, meanwhile, continued to work on improving her skills.

[simsbysteph]

Iris Alphabet - Update 1

My decision to make Iris my heir was based on a few things - first off, it was the fact that her traits were superior to most of the others. Secondly, I thought that the 10th generation should be something of an homage to my founder, Stephanie, and the colour purple was the best way to do this.

I moved the bed upstairs and turned the living room into more of an actual living room. The bed was able to retain its original colours.

Ivy was still on her date.

Unfortunately, he soon left without her securing it in. Who knows what will happen when she moves out?

Iris, of course, gets the new master bedroom.

It even has a desk, providing more room for homework completion.

Now, all of the siblings fit in the living room together.

With the exception of Ivy, of course, who had to move out.

Goodbye, Ivy! The minute she moved out, I got a notification that she had joined the law enforcement career.

Unfortunately, the kids have already started to fight over the upstairs desk.

Here they are heading to prom! Isabelle was there too.

Ivy went to the park.

He was an attractive fairy with purple wings.

She really liked him.

They went to see a movie together.

Ivan’s birthday came that same night!

You know what this means?

Well, after these two share a moment...
