1.5 Age is Just a Number

Last time we caught up with the Radcliffe Family, Arista and the twins had just become teenagers. Renge decided the time was right to stop having babies, even though she never was able to complete her lifelong dream of having five children would never come true. Arista, however, was trying her luck with the boys. As she strolled around in the park, she came across a somewhat handsome young man by the name of Sam Sekemoto.

Arista decided to try her luck and chat a bit, and it seemed that Sam and her shared very similar likes and dislikes, which she was more than happy about.

However, when she found out he had a girlfriend, she stopped her advancement all together.

it seemed that he did not carry the lineage nor the looks she was looking for. So they shook hands and parted.

Another young contestant was just down the ways. Mortimer Goth seemed the perfect boyfriend Arista was looking for.

he was nice, funny, good looking, and rich. But he found no interest in art, unlike Arista.

However, he did let Arista come home with him. She was flabbergasted by the ammount of land and space the Goths had acquired throughout the years. Yes, she decided, this was the man for her.

She started telling an amazing story about some astronauts on the moon, which he found rather wonderful.

being an insane sim, she sort of freaked him out with her conspiracies, though Mortimer still smiled politely.

But that didn’t last for long. Arista must have stepped on his toe or something.

They gossiped for a little while, and it seemed Mortimer was quite the gossip girl.

he was definitely a sweet young boy.

She ended the night with a beautiful friendly hug.

Arista catches up with her sisters and they head home after a long night of flirting.

Later, Renge and Leona have a little chat about life. Leona is the girl who’se doing the best in school. She has A’s while her sisters have C’s. Renge also announces they are moving.

The family has their second move, a beautiful house right by the seashore.

That did not last long because there were not enough bedrooms, so i moved them to another house I re-designed. It was an empty lot with just the house, and then i added the garden and backyard.

Renge loved the pool. She looked totally hot in her bathing suit.

Arista snuck off to Morty’s house after school without telling her mother. Oh dear . . .

And Mortimer even flirted with Arista! Score bby!

And she even snuck in a successful first kiss! Mortimer was flabbergasted. He loved it, even if he didn’t want to break up with Sandy French.

Oh Stiles. How much we love him. here we see him playing with the sprinklers for the first time. Little did he know he’d be playing with those Sprinklers his whole life. the Maid isn’t too fond of it, however. Because it was to close to the pool, I decided to move the sprinklers farther back away from the tile.

Dinner was great in the new house. The table was huge, so the girls could get all their homework done.

After what seemed like forever, it was finally Arista’s birthday. She’d become an adult, but with her poor grades, she’d be unable to choose a trait for herself.

What a wonderful mother. Renge just sleeps through her daughter’s party.

And this is Arista as an adult. She’s very pretty.

Stiles decided he wanted to start a little mini concert, so he invited this guy who kept on calling him over to hear him play. Their life would just continue to become crazy. And this is the end of generation one, because Arista is our generation two founder.

1.4 Growing Pains

Last time we visited the Radcliffe family, Renge had just given birth to two beautiful twin baby girls. As the days progressed, each baby grew bigger and prettier until it was finally time for their birthdays. Emma was up first.

Emma followed in her father’s footsteps, inheriting both his light brown hair and gray-blue eyes. However, she carried on Renge’s genes as far as her looks went.

next up, it was little leona’s turn.

She wasn’t the most beautiful baby, but you definately could see Renge’s green eyes there, and Stile’s muscular build.

Both girls were extremely tired, so Renge tucked them into bed at four in the morning. Don’t forget that babysitter, Renge.

Arista wasn’t so sure if she was ready to share her family with two younger twits just yet.

Stiles was really shaping up as a father, making up for the lack of interest he showed in his eldest daughter.

He spent every waking hour with those girls, especially during the weekends when he didn’t have to worry about guitar practice.

What a beautiful father/daughter moment. -sigh-

Stiles made sure little Leona was all caught up on potty training. By the looks of it, things were going well.

The tots learned up all their skills in three days, so early aging was a must. Renge was getting sick of the little poops and pees that the younger girls were creating, and Arista watched jealously as Emma made a cute face for her mother.

Then it was little Leona’s turn. Stiles helped her reach the cake.

And we have Leona . . .

And Arista . . .

And Emma, who is by far the prettiest.

Only Arista and Emma had to go to school hat day. Leona had missed the age cut-off and had the whole day to herself.

So Renge and her daughter had some time to bond.

As the kids had come back from school and finished their homework, Stiles was forced to work the 9 to 1 shift at the theatre.

He didn’t feel like going home that second, so he plopped open his guitar case and Played some tunes, hopefully for tips. None came, and Stiles continued playing until three in the morning. Poor guy.

Meanwhile, it turns out the girls had lied to their mother about finishing their homework, so Renge forced Emma and Arista to re do every single math problem there was. Twice.

because of this, all three girls were late for school the next morning.

Arista just doesn’t understand why she can’t just sit home and do nothing. What will an education ever mean to her?

She hid in the bathroom, only to be found my Grady the maid, the third they had hired. “Little Miss, you shouldn’t be home. Why not go to school with your other siblings?” Arista just glared.

The girls had come home, and Arista immediately wanted to tell them of the adventures she had. Leona wasn’t quite interested in her older sister’s jibber jabber, and preferred to play with her twin, Emma. After all, Arista was the only one in the family with the insane trait.

When Emma called her older sister a “ray of sunshine”, Arista lost it. Naturally, their relationship suffered as a result. “You’re crazy. Go home to the Insane Asylum, Arista.”

Feeling very alone, Ariista ran to her room, where she pretended she was an astronaut up in space, and that aliens had come down and attacked her family.

Amd then a wonderful thing happened. Being one of the kids with a C  in school, Arista aged up into a beautiful teenager.

OMG. She is freaking beautiful, and has been accepted as Heir to the Radcliffe Estate.

1.3 Triple Trouble

Even with one baby, things were tough. Without the magnificent parenting skills of Stiles, Renge just couldn’t tackle poor Arista on her own. So she went for the last resort: a baby sitter.

We all thought we knew the babysitter (his name escapes me), but it turns out this guy was just as lazy as the rest. However, he did get the job done, and Renge had some time to herself for once. Even though she worked part time, she had enough money to pay for the maid and the babysitter, so there was no reason for her to get a real job.

Renge seems to have positive thoughts, unlike me, the writer.

However, she regretted her choice when she found mr. babysitter sleeping on the job. he was supposed to be watching the baby, not taking a vacation.

“You’re no better than trash!” She screamed at him. The poor teenager didn’t know what hit him. You don’t want to be caught in between a mother grizzly and her cub.

It didn’t help any that her mood swings were in a tyranic rage. With that, she fired him on the spot.

Luckily, there was another babysitter down the street who really needed a job.

Here, Stiles is contemplating on whether or not it was a good idea to get involved in frisky business with his wife.

Arista’s birthday came too fast, and while Renge was pregnant with her second child she spent some personal time with her daughter teaching her the valuable skill of walking.

Next, it was talking. “Can you say ‘love’, Arista?”

The TY broke, and we called on Stiles to fix it. Maybe a career in Mechanics would be more helpful than one in music?

Arista sure did cry a lot when she was young. “MAMA!!!”

It was usually because she was hungry. Feeding babies always makes them quiet down.

Soon enough, the little girl was growing up into her second stage of life. Two candles for the birthday cake!

And here she is! Almost a look a like to her mother. She has the same brown hair as her father.

With a bit of a makeover, she was perfect and ready to go. Renge was pregnant again, and Arista made sure to stay out of her mother’s moody way.

She found playing with the dollhouse a perfect way to ease her loneliness.

her biological clock was all off, so Arista decided to hit the bed and take a nap.

Do not get in Arista’s way when she is angry. She’s been forcefully woken up and does not appreciate it.

While Arista had been sleeping, Renge came home with one baby . . .

As well as Stiles.
