Zuimelhof Family
Previously at the Zuimelhof Family: After Carla and Dave got assigned at the Veronaville hospital, the family had to build connections at a new home. Carla's career thrived as she got close to becoming the chief of staff, while the young Dora made lots of friends her age and Nora got into an intense relationship with the younger Benedick Monty. Dave meanwhile got into taking care of the new family cat: Agora.
First thing on Saturday morning: Nora got up when Dora was already working on her homework.
By the time Nora got breakfast ready, Dora finished on her responsibilities and helped out the family by taking out the trash.
Family breakfast time... if it weren't for Carla still being fast asleep. Also - I remember last round Dave rolled lots of wants to have one more child... Apparently he's thinking of a different family expansion now...
One phone call later...
And Aurora Zuimelhof is part of the family now!
Dave already fell in love with him!
Nora meanwhile wanted to learn a skill point - so cleaning it was!
..... Are you sure about that?
Dora meanwhile called up Sharla Ottomas for a chat - their friendship mirroring the one of their mothers.
Speaking of mother Carla - she got up, and rolled some wants to have some quality time with Dave!
While Dora in the meanwhile had some quality time with young Aurora.
Dave and Carla had a good time in the bedroom.
Nora had a bad time in the bedroom.
Nora then went to make spaghetti for dinner - which got interrupted by a call from Cornwall Capp.
Carla was present for the family dinner time - there they discussed the expectation of Nora to go attend college so that one day she might follow her parents into the hospital life more easily.
It's the first night of Winter - which means that the Zuimelhofs are also about to throw a New Year's Bash to celebrate the new year!
Lots of guests ready to have a good night!
Carla and Dave are trying to bring the cheery mood to the party.
Not affected though is Hal Capp, who immediately starts picking on Benedick Monty.
Nora was not amused by Hal's behaviour.
"Hal, not sure what planet you're from but on earth your behaviour is really weird! Honestly!"
To really seal the deal against all the times Hal has tried to flirt with her, Nora kisses Benedick right in front of the Capp kid.
Some other partygoers also got into the mood.
Sorry Sanjay, this is not the time for a phone call.
... considering that Nora also has bolts for Keith Cormier, I decided to settle once and for all who she has more chemistry with... And Keith won out!
... Yet Nora rolled a want to go steady with Benedick instead... Let's settle that while Father Time is getting ready...
Happy New Year everyone!
... And in the bliss of the new year I see that Puck apparently has a type..... Hermia better not find out about this OnO
The party was a blast!
And once everyone is out it's time for everyone to go and sleep.
On Sunday Dora was up first once again, and took care of feeding the cats - while little Aurora was using the litter box.
What a good kitty boy!
Nora got up to make breakfast once again - but nope, no more food left.
Time to pay a visit to the Veronaville Market!
"That'll be §500,- exactly."
"Here you go!"
Carla got out to look at the birds when Nora's pancakes were ready to be served.
Dora wasn't hungry - so she plays around with Aurora instead...
... which is followed by some sisterly bonding in the front yard.
Carla rolled the want to learn Fire Prevention - which means she's sticking her nose in the books once more...
... while the rest of the family do some chores.
Carla eventually finishes her study, which she doesn't need to apply for this day, as Nora just finished dinner safely.
During dinner the family gets the notifications that the daughter's birthdays are coming up.
During the evening Carla continues her studying session by trying to tackle Physiology (shouldn't she know all the ins and outs of that already as a doctor?), while the rest of her family hits the hay early.
A new Monday dawns...
Dave and Carla decide to enjoy the outdoor views while the girls are getting ready for school.
Consort didn't appreciate being seen as part of the outdoor views though - right after Dave hired a gardener after yesterday's hard work.
Carla grabs some final minute pre-work snacks while Dave's carpool has already arrived.
Nora is the first to show up at home.
Having the house to herself she plays around with some more tricky cooking techniques - and enjoys it!
Dave and Dora are the next ones to show up at home - and Dora rolls a skill want!
The final person to come home that day, just as Dave got back from his neighbourhood hike, is Carla - who got that coveted promotion and with that got her lifetime wish fulfilled! Woo!
Also it's birthday time!
Not Consort and Benedick starting a fight immediately!
Poor Benedick lost this battle...
It might be a good idea to get everyone distracted by the birthday bash instead before any more fighting ensues.
Dora is cheered on as she starts a solid growth spurt, turning into a young teen!
And with teenhood comes the time to choose an aspiration! Using my Aspiration Calculator, Dora was assigned Popularity - a nice fresh breath from Beatrice, Benedick, Hal and Sharla who all rolled Family.
Dora was on top of the world as she aged up... But are you thinking what I'm thinking that she needs after she finishes that cake?

... I really need to get that mod again that properly links the Mansion & Garden hairs throughout the ages. But for now Dora is done with updating her appearance.
Someone who is not done with things is Carla, who gives Consort a few stern words for his behaviour towards Benedick.
Dora meanwhile catches up on things with Sharla, while the rest of the party is strolling by - including Scot Philippine, a friend of Dora's who aged up with her.
Everyone just hung out and vibed, which made the party mood rise a bit, ending the event in good spirits.
Not everything ended in good spirits though - someone broke the television! Luckily Carla has lots of mechanical experience.
She manages to fix the thing safely and then joins her family's bedtime rhythm.
Despite her parents' expectations, Nora hasn't rolled the want to go to college herself yet. Hopefully she'll roll for it some time the next day, or else she apparently doesn't feel the need to get a higher education and wants to step into the fully fledged adult life at once.
Dave cleans up breakfast while the rest of the family is off to school and work...
And while the cats are home alone, Aurora ages up into a grown cat!
At work Carla got into a situation...
And being considerate of the intern has helped out! One lucky card and Carla has caught up with Nora on the cooking!
Speaking of Nora and her cooking...
It paid off, too! Albeit in cuisine enthusiasm...
Normally I don't do much with hobby enthusiasm much, but considering Nora has a power want to max out her cuisine enthusiasm fulfilling it may roll the college want after it...
When the girls got home from school, they were quick to get out again.
Time for Dora to go to the teen spot at Globe Street for the first time!
Of course Dora has to get herself a new cellphone so that she can be reached everywhere! It's basically a rite of passage into teenhood by now.
While Nora tried to put up some cooking shows, local townies Curtis Ryan and Victor Lillard had a moment together... And now Curtis got a crush on Victor!
... Followed by Victor gaining a crush on Curtis!
Hmmm....
Should I make those two playable and put them in an apartment?
Curtis' good friend Cyd over here was a bit less lucky though, as he got pickpocketed by the Charlatan!
Time to get the girls out of there!
Nora went to go blogging about her cooking in hopes of gaining max enthusiasm...
By the time Carla and Dave got home she still wasn't too lucky... which means it's straight into adulthood for her!
Let there be CAKE!!!
The candles are blown...
... and Nora grows up into full maturity!
...
In contrary to Juliette and Mercutio fighting over there.
Juliette wins the fight, while Dora turns out to be fathered by the Grim Reaper from the third installment of the Sims franchise - making her Nervous' sister?
Oof...
With Nora becoming of age a bedroom renovation is upon her as well - including a new double bed and a nice accent wallpaper from Life Stories.
Part of Nora's life story as a fresh adult is to make a move on Keith, who grew up with her!
Keith replies with a networking offer... Real smooth there!
Once the two got to have a dance together, Keith got a crush on Nora, making the feelings reciprocal.
Who wasn't in such a loving mood however, was Juliette Capp who started harassing Mercutio Monty again. Nora wasn't having any of it.
"Jules, I want this party to skyrocket, and this behaviour of yours is sabotaging that!"
Juliette's shenenigans weren't enough to bring the party spirit down leaving Nora with a good memory!
While Nora blogged a bit more on her computer, Dora was making other, more sneaky plans...
After catching a few Z's, the car arrived with Benedick in it...
And despite Carla going up the same stairs while Dora snuck out, Dora made it to the car!
After a few hours of fun on the streets, Dora made it back safely... and with her return she brought along the Spring, too!
With Spring being upon is we'll have to leave the Zuimelhofs behind for this round, and eagerly await the next round to see how the Zuimelhofs will fare in the new season - who will Dora choose? Will Nora commit to Keith for good? How will Carla and Dave enter their senior years?
But first, we gotta check in with the college dorms - we could've had Nora in there but her wants begged to differ... Instead it's just Juliette and Puck in there, and Juliette might be on a quest...
To be continued
