I'll make this a short update for a couple of reasons. First, Blogger is making ne nuts, as I have to type in my whole email and password every time I put a picture up! Also, after this part in the story, I did a little experiment where I went a whole Sim day letting the Sims do whatever they did on their own, with no interference from me. It was a little scary, but interesting! So I'll start showing pics from that day next update. I'll end this tiny update with the family portrait up to this point. Thanks for reading and sorry it was so short!

After having a nightmare, Ultra sleeps in the bed with daddy to keep the monsters away.

Could Ultra be a wealth Sim in the making?

Check out all those career awards!

"Duh, Dad, of course I'm the smartest kid in my class!"

Ultra greets her daddy when he comes home from work--so cute!

Seeing his daughter being so close with the repairman, Samuel confronts Scot. "I know my daughter had a crush on you as a kid and said she'd marry you one day, but I won't have you taking advantage of my little girl!" Scot tells Samuel that their friendship is innocent, and that nothing inappropriate would ever happen. Samuel tells Scot that regardless, he will be calling a different repairperson from now on and that he should stay away from Heather.

Heather tries to play tickle monster with Scot, like she did as a kid, but Scot pulls away.

Heather and repairman Scot are still good friends. And that's it . . . for now . . .

Ultra post-makeover! Isn't her monkey shirt cute?

Is writing a novel in a llama suit inspiring, I wonder?

Also here for the birthday are the ghost of Indigo, Kashan (Veronica's brother), Heather, and the ever-shirtless Grey.

Ultra pre-makeover, admiring her green hand.

We'll begin at the Legasea main house, where Ultra, Joel's alien daughter, is having a birthday! Isn't she cute blowing out her candles? I guess Pepper came over for the occasion.
