Wishful Living 1.18

Now that Nikita has been chosen as heir her wishes will start to be recorded. I open this update with her taking her aptitude test for Uni since she wants to go.

After she gets herself a partial scholarship, its off to get her desired job in the singing career.

Neal wanted to throw a gift giving party. He got it all arranged but was then called to the hospital for an emergency. But look, I got a gift pile this time!

Wishful Living 1.17

Well we join the McRae's with Noelle's neat trait taking a break. Nor has she felt the need to cook for the kids.

Nikita wants to be friends with Robbi Frey so I have her call to invite him over. While she's waiting she works on her homework. Maybe him coming over is a bad based on that thought bubble.

None the less he comes over and she starts rolling wants to flirt, and then to kiss him. Must make sure I keep my eyes on these two. No teen moms allowed.

While their teen daughter is making out with her new romantic interest, mom and dad have their own thoughts.

Wishful Living 1.16

When we last left off Nelly had just aged up to a child. Her parents decided to celebrate in the manner they normally do and grossing out the kids in the process.

The siblings actually seem to like each other at times (well at least when Nikita isn't accusing them of being divas).

Nikita needed to work on her want to be friends with her dad and while that was going on, Noelle was out bonding with Nate.

Nelly wanted to get some of moms attention as well so she asks for a bedtime story. I love her insane trait as she changes into whatever. Tonight she sleeps in her everyday wear. She also likes to walk around in her swimsuit.

Winter is upon us and Noah wanted to hang holiday lights. I think the house looks very lovely.

Neal and Noelle continue to work on that next baby but so far no luck. Guess they just have fun trying. And Noelle has gotten back into gardening since she has time on her hands being toddler free at the moment.

She later is the victim of Nikita's prank. Still don't know what Nicole set before she left for boarding school, but Nikita got the successful prank moodlet.

I got this really cool pop up the next day.

I know I'm not supposed to direct them much, but they had to go out to celebrate their anniversary. Off to Mick's Karaoke they go.

Despite having the old lady in formal wear boo them, Neal gives his wife a big kiss after their performance. Then its upstairs to play a game at Neal's request. Afterwards he's in the mood for a little public fun.

Meanwhile downstairs a townie goes into labor in the bathroom.

All in all it was a great date (so the pop up said) and a nice way to enjoy that one year together. Warped EA time at work there considering they have 2 grow children, teens and school age kids all in that same year LOL.

It was time for Nadia to move out. She has a cute little starter home across town.

While the family was sleeping I panned out to check on my adult children and found Nadia out fishing at 2am in the snow. SP said that she and Tavares Helgason broke up and she is now dating Miguel Wong.

Also Naomi's little girl is now a toddler. So meet Brandee Oss. She got grandma's hair color (sorta) and her daddy's eye color.

Naomi and Edvin are expecting a second child, that will be 2 out of 5 of those grandbabies Noelle wants. I moved them into a bigger house because when I went to go check out their current home I found it was not big enough. They lived in a 2 bedroom 1 bath house with Edvin's mother. I guess Brandee had been sleeping on the floor as their was no crib to be found. The family's new house is large enough for them to grow into now. And the mother-in-law got to stay with them. :)


Neal earned $800 for the family fulfilling an opportunity to fix the lock mechanism at the police station. Also the family now are partners at 2 out of 3 businesses. The police station and the book store.

Not a lot of wishes were fulfilled this update because the ones locked in were all higher so couldn't really be cancelled out.

Wishful Living 1.15

We join Noelle working on teaching Nelly her skills. They have to get them in quick since they did waste times before the wants rolled in. Guess a girl is never to young to learn about heartbreak but she needs to shoot for the stars.

She accomplishes the talking want, moved on to the potty want. Noelle is still having her mid life crisis and decided she wanted to get some ink, so off to the tattoo parlor she goes.

Nice simple design on her ankle. Think it works well. When she finishes the meet up icon appears. Its off to city hall to see Nadia actually graduate. The rest of the family gets stuck in the house so Noelle is the only one that makes it.

Wishful Living 1.14

Welcome back to the ever growing McRae family. With only one baby in the house, life is starting to settle down a bit. The wants in the family are nothing major. Nicole wants to be best friends with Noelle so they spend a lot of time talking. Neal gets an opportunity to fix someone's stereo (don't remember the name) Usually after these his handiness trait kicks in for a while so I'm hopeful it will help.

Nikita is good a cleaning things and I was very sad to see Neal roll a wish to send both Nicole and Nikita off to the school of Peace and Love. He had to run off to work so mom does the dirty work of sending off the first of their children.

Nadia got the teen rebellion want to cut and dye her hair. I think the color works well for her rocking out on the guitar.

It's birthday time in the McRae house again. First up is Nelly, looks like she might have gotten Noelle's hair color. Finally a child that did!

While Noelle puts Nelly down Nikita works on being friends with her dad even though he wanted to ship her off to boarding school. There are three cribs in the nursery and Nelly ends up on the floor.

Then it's time for Noelle to reach adulthood. And instantly hits a mid life crisis. :( Very first want rolled was to divorce Neal. Since her wants were full at the time I gladly didn't lock that one in.

Neal still loves his wife even if she is older than him and he doesn't know she wants a divorce. He chooses the proper way to celebrate her birthday.

Next day the twins spend some time with their brother. Neal yells at Nicole for some prank she has set (but I don't know what) and then the girls head off to boarding school.

We get an opening in Noelle's wants and lock in the get make over wish. On her way she's thinking about getting grandkids soon.

So both Neal and Noelle have yet to roll a want to teach Nelly any skills at this point. She rolls the want for another child and he still has a want for a boy from the last pregnancy. I've never adopted a child in game so to fill both those wants we adopt a little boy we have named Nate. Noah take a liking to his new brother. All these sisters were driving him crazy I guess.
