And here is exactly what the finished portrait will look like when it is done. I don't have any more family portraits to show yet, so this will be the ending portrait instead for the update. What will Veronica's life be like? Who will she marry? Who will die next in the family? Who will be the one who gets abducted soon? Find out in the updates to come!

Veronica sitting for her official teen portrait, the first one to go in the new house. Isn't she just gorgeous? 

In this Red Hands shot with her Dad, you can see how much they look alike! 

Veronica seems to like her new outfit and hairdo! She's actually smiling! 

. . . and her fun side with her bathtub playing! 

Veronica shows her serious side with her piano playing . . . 

Grey, once again, is late to the party, and blows his noisemaker all by himself. 

A closeup of teen Veronica after transition. She's a Fortune Sim, just like her mom (natural one roll on the die). 

Ooh, very pretty! Although she transitioned in her grandma Wisteria's teen outfit, so I'll have to change that. And look, Grey's granddaughter Anastasia is there for the little party. (I think she came home from school with Veronica.) 

Veronica gets to have the first birthday in the new house! And the headmaster is over, too! 

Joel seemed to like this one fine, so I stuck with the ponytail. 

What about THIS look, Joel? No, you don't like that one either? Okay . . . 

To celebrate, I gave Joel some new clothes and gave him a makeover. Oh, he definitely doesn't like THIS look! 

All of Joel's stargazing pays off in one way at least--getting his Logic skill maxed out. 

Father and Son time over dinner. 

Kashan gives up on things going anywhere with Justine when he realizes she's obsessed with babies, which is definitely NOT Kashan's thing! 

Indigo helps Joel with his charisma skill at the podium. Joel doesn't look so sure about it. "You mean I can't learn charisma through a book? Darn it." 

I thought this was funny. Cadet kept autonomously primping while he was over. 

The requisite snuggling after picture posing. :-) 

Cerulean happily reaches the top of the teen career. (And has brought River home from work with him.) 

Later, I saw Veronica playing with the same expression. She must have been watching Uncle Grey! 

While his girlfriend plays chess with the new gardener in her undies, Grey plays some piano in his. With the ANGRY look on his face. 

Green's son Reed stopped by for a visit, and Cadet came home with Chandler from work. (They're both joint Chiefs of Staff at the hospital.) Veronica runs out to meet her Daddy while Indigo, Reed, and Cadet converse. (Cadet in a suit, yum!) 

Later, Rosemary and the gardener (both visitors) autonomously play some chess while Rosemary is in her undies from woohooing with Grey. Maybe they're playing Strip Chess, ha. 

And then things get even naughtier! :-)
