CHAPTER FIVE: Josh Zachary, the Neighborhood Hero!

Soooo. recap time right? Oke. Here we go. Last chapter, we talked about many events taking place. We had Bella's dramatic change as soon as she gave birth to Max. She started sleep-sitting and it was weird.. HAHA. And then, both Nate and Max grew up. Nate became a child while Max became a toddler. Andddddd.. We also had the house renovated for better living to both children. Nate needs to be separated from Max, of course. Last but not least, Josh transformed into an adult.

Josh: Yeay! I'm an adult. But hey, we never discussed bout my LTW.

Lifetime Wish, aka LTW, well Josh has this one vision of solving an amount of cases as Private Investigator around town. And it's crazy. He wants to solve 35 cases, and right now he's not even half done. Surely, each case sometimes take ages. HAHA. But don't worry, Josh. I'm trying my best to fulfill your wish.

Josh: You know, I want to purchase that teleporter so my family can teleport easily. HAHA. It's like dream!

Alright, alrighty. I'll try my best okay. HAHA.

So, let's get going to this chapter. There isn't much I want to share in this chapter, but the highlight will be as been told in the title. 

Max grows into a child and develops Over-Emotional trait. Well, he's really something. He could be the genius type or something because of all of his traits so far. He becomes a beautiful child, though.

Max: "I'm a star!"

When Max finally becomes a child, both of Josh's boys are now little boys. But they aren't yet that close to share a bed together, since Max is a loner. What's worse, the family is not ready for another renovation so the parents split and each share a bed with a child. Josh shares Nate's bed while Max hops on Bella's.

Josh: "Maybe I can go find some gems first thing tomorrow and sell 'em to upgrade the house."
Nate: "I wanna be a body-builder.. MUAHAHAHA!"

Bella: "Can't he at least hold my hand? I'm not used to sleeping without any contact with my bed-partner..."
Max: "Sleep away from mum.. Sleep away from mum... Urgh!"

A few days later, the family throws a birthday party for Nate. It's the first time I ever joined all the guests and family to play tag together, and since the lot is fugly big, the tag game is SUPER FUN! Well at least it makes the guests happy and happy guests promise you a great birthday party and a great birthday party adds 750 points of LTW to Josh.

Even vampires play tag, eh?

Bella joins the crew as soon as she gets home from work.

And when the candles are blown, Nate successfully grows into a teen! Yeay! And let's randomize his trait...... Can't Stand Art? Oh, no.... I quickly remove all the paintings later. =_= I don't want his mood to go south.

Nate: "Woah! Woah! Look at me, lil bro! I'm hot!" Max: "I think we need more decorations in this house to make it look more of a mansion..."

The very next day, Josh proceeds solving his delayed case to earn some more simoleons. The family needs simoleons badly, a few cases to go and off the house renovation! And oh, there's no such thing like finding gems. That's too... Sympathetic. And the family doesn't collect the profits from their bookstore, grocery store  or even Stoney Falls, fyi.

The pink-bed room is the parents, the lighter blue is Nate's and the turquoise is Max's. Notice that the parents' bathroom isn't furnished yet because the family's out of funds. HUHUHU.

Here's how the wall-up house should look like. We finally have windows!! Annnnnnnnd..... Notice again that the dining hall has wall partially made up of glass. Oh, I totally love it! And this is the version of house which finally has laundry hall. So now there'll be lots of dirty clothes on the floor! Thanks, Simmies!

And finally! It's Bella's turn to become an adult! She is watering the plants outside the house when a visitor comes and greets her.

Blair: "So-so!" Bella: "You scared me!"

Bella: "I'm an angel sent from above.. *dreaming "

Bella: "I had babies when I was so young that I'm still fugly hot when my babies grow and are almost my size!!"

Seriously, it's fuglyyyyyyyy. So I get her change her appearance asap. Get her young adult haircut BACK.

The family has always been victims of false accusations around town, and there's one that affects Max and Nate brother-ship when Max is accused of starting a fight. That night, Max tries to talk to Nate to dispel the rumors and it works out. They even share Nate's bed that night. Awwwww...

Max: "I wonder where my 'How To Be Even More Nerd Than What You Already Are' book is."
Nate: "I hope Max will never find out I trash his silly favvy book in the compactor."

Annnndddd.. The highlight will finally end this chapter. With Josh successfully reaches his top of profession, the Mayor holds a ceremony at the Town Hall and it requires Josh to attend it. Josh is still sleeping when he receives the news, but he gets up and rides the limo to the City Hall to receive the award. It's worth it, though. Josh has this 'Neighborhood Hero' moodlet for 4 days. HAHA.

Mayor: "Congratulations on becoming the Most Successful Private Investigator of Sunset Valley. Work harder, though to solve more cases okay? *wink" Josh: "Erk. Okayyyy.."

Josh: "I'm so embarassed but I gotta put on a happy face. HeHe~Pa-Ra-Hey-Pa-De-Lay!"

And with Josh's success, it surely aids in his simoleons income. HEHE. And, pssssst! Josh is now a 5-star celebrity! ;-)

CHAPTER FOUR: Too Many Events...

RECAP! Josh got better in his job and the family bought Stoney Falls, had it upgraded to 3-star-venue. The family also became business partner of the Bookstore and Grocery Store. Nate was thrown a birthday party and grew into a monster toddler before the outfits were re-planned, or else he would be better off dead. HAHA. Josh made time to teach the toddler to walk and talk, while Bella potty-trained him. Anddddd.. A new baby boy was born, named Max. And the addition sure added an amount of happiness to the family.

Josh: I am happy, but I'm worried that I'm not able to be a fair father to both sons of mine.


Look who's on control, Josh. I'm an expert Sims player. LOL.

So, this chapter! We will talk briefly about every event because there are way many events take place.

Event #1. Bella dramatic change.

She begins sleep-sitting after Max's born into the family. Well, it's not sleep-walking because she doesn't get up from the bed and walk. She just sits. HAHA. Here's a snapshot.

Bella: "I'm not sleep-sitting. I'm just imagining of what it's like to sit on the boss' table. Duh!"

Josh: Maybe she misses her desk at the Science Facility. You know, she just get back to work and you get her pregnant, AGAIN.


Whoops! Hang on, there, buddy! I do not get her pregnant. You do.

Josh: On your command!


For Bella's LTW!

Josh: But she said it last time. She never though it would be granted so fast. Wait... Where's Bella? She's not talking along in this chapter?


Well, nah. She will not be talking along anymore. I have made up my mind that since this legacy about the Zachary men, only the men are allowed to do the talking. HAHA. But Bella's been lucky, though, since she had gotten her talking immortalized in previous chapter. She will forever be the only Zachary lady. HAHA.

Josh: Gonna miss her.


Me, too. Now, back to the chapter.

Event #2. Max grows into a NORMAL toddler.

HAHAHA. Yes, normal toddler. At least he's not some kind of alien version of toddler like what Nate was, once. Here's a snapshot.

Max: "Nya-nya-nya!"

Sorry. I forget the toddler version. I just captured the twinkling baby version. My bad. But I have a few snapshots of Nate and Max together, as cutie-pie toddlers! Sometimes I'm confused myself of which is which. HAHA. They sure look like twins, despite Nate's bald head. Or is it Max? No.. No.. The clean head is Nate, right? All I remember is, Max has bunny bum-bum. HAHA.

Bella: "Hang on. I'm preparing your foods, babies." Nate: "Momma.. Me, first, momma." Max: "Nya-nya-nya!"

Let's test: Which is which?

Let's test again: Which is which?

Let's get going.

Event #3. Nate grows into a child.

His birthday is only a few days away after Max's transformation into a toddler. Since he has gotten himself a birthday when he was transforming into a toddler, and the family's cutting budget on parties, so he doesn't get any. He has just finished using the potty when he suddenly becomes twinkling and turn into a NERD-looking child. It's okay. I'll have him change his appearance to suit his new randomize trait-Inappropriate.

Nate: "I'mma school!"

NERD. =_=

Josh: HAHA. A minute I put him down near the potty because he seems like he needs to like... 'Go'. I go to the kitchen and I eat. A moment later, when I come back for him, he's already a child!

Time flies, huh? So, since he gets the Inappropriate trait, I still wonder what he's gonna be. He's good but insane. At the same time, Inappropriate?? He sure is a confused Sim. Can he be the Heir then?

Here's a few snapshots of the grown toddler of Nate and the litlle Max, playing around. Aren't they cute together, though? Now, I'm not confused, anymore.

Nate: "Peek-A-Boo!" Max: "HEK-HEK-Boooo!"

Max: "Mooon-Nay!" Nate: "Huh? What? Money? No, we're building blocks, Max. These aren't mooon-nay."

Anddd.. Notice the environment is different eh? Well, that takes us to the next event.

Event #4. House renovation!

Of course the house needs a desperate renovation. Now that Nate is a little boy, he sure needs a room of his own. So I add another room next to the nursery, and the parents' room is transformed into a long hall. Josh and Bella's room is built new, next to the hall, across the hall from the boys' room and nursery.

New house!

But still, no windows. The lights needed during the day comes very little-ly from the door. But basically the lamps provide all. It's okey, right?

Josh: Well, I don't really mind. At least no-windows prevent perverts from peeping into the house.


HAHA. That's the price celebrities have to pay. You'll get windows-installed house, soon, Josh. Just wait and see. HAHA.

Josh: ... What can I do. My boys need the attention. LOL.


Event #5. Josh is finally an adult!

Josh: Yeay! HAHA. It feels good. I finally feel adrenaline of maturity in my veins. HAHA.


Duh! Too bad I totally forget bout it, huh? As I said, too many events take place, I forget it's your birthday. Don't worry, I promise will throw you your Elder birthday party, alright?

Josh: Well, I just realize that I have never been thrown a party before.... *sobs


I said, I promise will throw you one right? Well, you're the founder. You have to sacrifice the most to have the generations after you live happily.

Josh: Alright. That makes me feel like a noble man. HAHA.


So, here's some snapshots to complete this event, and the last one, it gets nothing to do with this event, though. It's just to end this chapter with.

Josh: "What are these stars? Am I dying?"

Josh: "HAHA. Oh, hell, no I'm dying. I'm a real man, now! HAHA! Chan-Gar-Lic!

Nate: "Why are my hands so long and pointy like aliens???"

I can't believe Nate still has that monster-look when he's in the shower. I wonder what he looks like when he's in the tub... So, should Nate kept selected to be the Heir? Hmm..
