Jacob got Athletic, Emily got Medical, and Abigail got Paranormal.
I didn't much care for Paranormal, so the next day I had Abigail look for another job (Thanks Master Thief!) and she got Science instead. Much better!
I picked up Buzz's Mood Fix mod again, since it still works as of the latest patch, to fix my permanently-elated Sims problem.
It was a close shave, also, but Emil cleared Symphonic! Woo! Spring to arrive in nine days.
Time to take stock of jobs and traits - I got all of the children successfully to adulthood - for a given definition of success. (And in one or two cases, 'adult' ... )
Emil: Age 93 and still kicking
Emily:
- Medical Career
Pretty nice, a tier two lift, definitely not going to complain. It'll be nice to get rid of smelly sims, and it'll be something to spend LTRs on.
- Hates the Outdoors
Eh, neutral.
- Virtuouso
Would be great on a musician. Neutral.
- Loser
Ehhh. She gets a positive moodlet when she gets promotions, and she doesn't win much at chess.
Edit: Being a loser is one of the only two ways to be totally immune to death. As seen here:
She's fine an hour later. I forgot that ranting about death will cause him to come immediately and kill you. Good thing she's a loser!
- Childish
Eh. Hasn't hurt so far.
- Athletic
Would be better on a career that needed athletics. Neutral.
Abigail:
- Science Career
Woo! A very strong tier two, and with the frequency that aliens show up and/or abduct, could quickly become a tier one. Although all the aliens appear to be old folks ....
- Virtuouso
Again, could be better.
- Genius
Not bad.
- Never Nude
Utterly neutral.
- Artistic
Would be great on an artist.
- Light Sleeper
Could be worse. Doesn't seem to have too much of an impact.
Jacob:
- Professional Sports Career
Very nice tier two, moving stuff around would be great since I don't like where most of my stuff currently is Also will help if Emil dies in a bad spot, since I'll be able to move the stuff to accomodate his grave.
- Loves the Outdoors
Positive moodlets while outside. Not terrible.
- Schmoozer
He makes friends at work - a plus in the Athletic career since you need a good relationship with your team.
- Athletic
A plus in the Athletic career, who'd have guessed?
- Mean Spirited
Can't leave him on autonomous or he'll tank his relationships with everyone ever. Def. a negative.
- Diva
Similar to the above, no one likes someone who's all about themselves.
Felicia:
- Education Career
A very, very nice tier one which will make life easier going forward. A bit difficult on the starting ranks though, since keeping Sims happy in an overstuffed household is ... fun.
- Slob
Excellent! Eating rotten food and not caring at all about the mess.
- Couch Potato
Likes naps, generally not terrible; she's on her butt most of the time studying logic anyway.
- Loves the Outdoors
Works for me, she'll be outside at the park leveling charisma.
- Vehicle Enthusiast
Utterly neutral.
- Loves the Cold
Same as loves the outdoors.
Danica:
- Journalism Career
Another strong tier-two, less awesome than Master Thief but still pretty boss.
- Absent-Minded
Ugh, can't just fire and forget because then she'll forget.
- Neurotic
Lots of LTRs now that symphonic is lifted - and lots of simple things to do, like washing dishes and cleaning counters. About the only time I'd say washing dishes is good to do with Sim labor is when they want to do it.
- Brave
Eh, she might take on a burglar.
- Disciplined
No martial arts, no point.
- Childish
Keeps cropping up.
Zoe:
- Politics Career
A prerequisite for travelling, it also lets you build anywhere you like, expanding your living quarters appropriately. More useful when business and architect are cleared. I have a lot of money to throw at building when I can finally build.
- Slob
See above entry. Very nice.
- Insane
She can talk to herself for fun and social. Not a bad trait by far.
- Genius
Not bad, not as useful as it could be since she doesn't need logic.
- Commitment Issues
Ouch. Ouuuch. I made her my heir before she got all her traits and this came up to bite me.
- Snob
Eh. About as great as Diva. I don't like self-aggrandizers.
And lifts completed:
Master Thief
Hopelessness
Symphonic
After careful deliberation, I've decided to kill off Emil. He's not contributing anymore.
