BOtU 7

Hello again! Let's jump right in with what the Benali family has been up to recently.

Actually....I don't have a ton of screenshots for you today. I was really, really focused on getting the twins grown up to teenagers and was sort of speeding through the mundane stuff. So let's see what I did capture.

First, the nanny thought that teenagers Sarai and Camille needed a monster under their beds sprayed. Better safe than sorry, I suppose.


Alex tried to get a head start on his gardening skills...

And then shared a sweet moment with Leah.

Sarai invited a friend home from school, so all of the girls spent some time doing homework together.

 Alex loses some cute points because he's the culprit behind yet another paint mess. The nanny tries to impale Jazlyn with her elbow while cleaning up said mess. Maybe if someone had done that sooner, we wouldn't have had all of these messes. 

Sarai ages up to a young adult. The other nanny, Reiko, invites her over to hang out. But wait, who's this kid? Meet Tre Gruber, Jazlyn's much younger brother. Guess Mama Regina and Papa Gerald got a little frisky quite late in life. They have both passed on, so Tre was adopted by Reiko. 


Back at home, the twins become children. 


Camille is going through an angry mood swing..I love the exaggerated facial expressions and walks when teens are going through these.

Dylan has completed his childhood aspiration, so it's time for him to become a teenager.

Wait for it....


Oh. He's got the nose, too. Sorry, kid.

Not long after, Dylan's head disappears from the lower left of my screen. Curious, I go off to find him, and am greeted by this:
Like, I don't even have words to describe this. I have never seen this happen before. 

Anyway, moving on. Going back to the twins, Alex rolled the Whiz Kid aspiration, while Leah rolled Social Butterfly. For being twins, they didn't have a stellar relationship, so I set out to fix that and chose Alex to be Leah's BFF. I mean, he's her twin, he should be her best friend, right?
Pretty sure Jazlyn is serenading Salim in the background yet again.

The family takes a trip to the park so that Leah can work on making some more friends. Goodness, that is some tedious stuff, doing social interactions over and over and over again. No wonder most of my other Sims are hermits most of the time, especially since we no longer have to have a certain number of friends to promote in careers.

Weird neighbor guy barges in and starts trying to play with toys again. This time, Jazlyn asks him to leave, and he acts shocked that anyone would dare to do so.

Jazlyn later spends some time helping Leah with a school project.

Finally, finally, the twins complete their aspirations and it's time to age them into teenagers. 

Ready for the big reveal?

Alex didn't turn out too badly at all!

Leah's turn....
She escaped the nose, but her mouth is far too large for her face. 

So, here we are, ready to choose who will be the next generation. I'm a little torn....I've grown very fond of Camille, but Alex has turned out fairly nice looking, as well. I'm leaning towards continuing with Camille, but...what do you think? Camille or Alex? Or should I keep tabs on all six kids and see where they end up? Leave a comment and let me know what you think I should do!
