Last night Miller called June in the middle of the night. Tonight, June is calling back. This could go somewhere...



Skip sings along to the radio.



For once, two of my sims have actually finished a game of chess. It only took a whole day of playing.



Regardless of the subject you're studying, college can be confusing.

I love when couples cuddle in the hot tub. They always look so in love.



Cody and Percy enjoy some creative pursuits on Sunday afternoon.



Then late that night, Cody tucks his little brother in.



As soon as Quinn went off to college, Keith rolled up wants to bond with William. I guess he's realized his kids won't be babies forever.

Orlando can be pretty blunt sometimes. "We didn't know how we'd make it by til we got the inheritance money when Julia's folks died!"



By the time night falls, most of the kids are already sound asleep.



There seems to be more animosity brewing. I saw these two fighting and assumed Quinn was the instigator--that's just how Quinn is--until I caught this! Turns out Scott's the one picking on her!



Percy spends his Sunday morning perfecting his lemonade recipe...and making a few sales, too.

It's Family Day, so Olivia gets to spend time with her littlest sister as a child for the first time.



This week's hot tub crowd: the newest elders and the next elders.



Out of absolutely nowhere, Emma starts chasing Ingrid around, poking and slapping her. Next thing I know they've gotten in a fight!



Elliot and Emily were both born in autumn, so this is the first time they've gone swimming.

Tobin dances around with Umeko. He's an only child, so he's learned how to charm the older kids into treating him like a little brother.



Olivia has just discovered the bubble blower.



Nicole and Orlando celebrate sophomore year graduation by relaxing in the hot tub til the wee hours of the morning.



This is Family Day. 41 sims (counting the three household members out of frame) and 5 dogs. It's pretty bonkers.

There's a whole park and playground here, but Rebecca just wants to play chess. Fortunately Auntie Marsha showed up so she has someone to play with.



Venyamin wasn't too interested in Tosha Go, and since there are so few townie teens left in this 'hood I immediately started to think of who else might be. I thought maybe Zane would, but how would he ever meet her? Well, one phone call from Venyamin and a group hang-out later, they have. We'll see once I get back to Zane's lot whether he actually likes her. If not, his sister Xania might.



Later, Tobin is occupying the chess table along with Yvette (the third triplet to Zane and Xania) while his dads enjoy an impromptu date.



I don't go to community lots very often, but I do love the interactions that happen in the background. Quinn and Yvette were chatting over their hot dogs.

Scott and I have no clue what's been wrong with the CleanBot, but he's determined to fix it!



Another morning, another breakfast for the Centowski kids. This is my favorite household, I think.



They spend their Saturday playing at the park. Surprisingly only one other kid shows up--one of the few townie kids who's still a kid--but there's enough of them that they can play with each other.



That night, the phone rings. I'm curious who's calling at nearly 11 PM, so I have June answer since she's the only one awake. Who should it be but Miller, the only other servo in the 'hood and the only sim who logically would be awake at this hour. Perhaps they should get to know each other better...

As a sophomore, and therefore someone far more experienced with college life, Nicole offers her cousin some words of advice.



It isn't too long before Olivia's found herself a boyfriend. He's not the sim I would've paired her with, but they fell for each other so fast that I didn't really have a choice.



These two have the most...interesting wardrobe.



Ren and Zane meet up at the park. Both are in their school uniforms on a Saturday, for some reason.

Orlando, I told you to teach Emily to walk, not read her a book! Oh well...this is cute...



Olivia hugs her littlest sister goodbye. Off to college for the eldest Centowski kid!



Meanwhile the boys get danced around while waiting for it to be time for Emily's birthday.



And Olivia continues to be absolutely gorgeous.

Olivia has fun on her last day at school. She's gonna miss her siblings, and all her little cousins, when she goes to college.



Her younger sister Umeko has a pillow fight with their cousin Ren. I wonder where they get those pillows while they're at school? (By regular logic, I mean. By game logic they're just in their pockets.)



Miller needed social and fun, and Skip always wants attention, so I decided these two should become friends.



They then decided to play fetch...in the house.
Holly's going to have something to say about that.
