As Vince continues to work out on the treadmill, he receives a text. It’s from a childhood classmate, Amanda Alto. She was at his birthday party yesterday but wants to congratulate him again on his birthday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Karmine comes over as Vince is cooking lunch. I’m glad I had her mom give her a residential key. Vince and Karmine even become jokesters with each other.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also, during lunch, Vince gets a text message from someone. One he hasn’t even met yet. But she is inviting him to a pre-prom party. Since he hasn’t even started high school yet, he’s going to cordially decline the invitation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today in-game, the Romance Festival is happening in San Myshuno. This is a great evening for both Geordi and Xochitl to have a date night. I’ll have Vince tag along but let him do his own thing. If I see other teenagers there, I might force some interactions on him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First thing, I have Geordi and Xochitl pour some Sakura Tea together. This will get them more in the mood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the night goes on, Geordi puts the moves on his wife with a little affection and a bit of kissing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As it was also Prom night, there weren’t any teenagers around at the festival. I do make Vince go to the Romance Guru to see what they have to say to Vince. The romantic destiny is a bit harsh. Thankfully, the Gurus aren’t always correct.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, the boys ordered food at one of the food vendors. Xochitl also did but took her sweet time getting there. I was hoping to grab a screenshot of all three ordering together, but the boys got their food before Xochitl got there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eventually, a teenager does arrive to the Romance Festival. Her name is Evie Delgato. She autonomously walks up to Vince and the two start a conversation and she sits down at the table across from him. She has a pink aura around her, so am guessing she drank some Sakura Tea. I didn’t feel it was right for Vince to up and drink some. Plus, mom and dad would have told him not to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even though the Romance Festival lasts until 1am the next morning, I end it around 10pm, when I end Geordi and Xochitl’s date. Of course, they obtain the gold medal status.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning arrives. It’s now Sunday. I found some airpod custom content that replace the functional gaming headphones and thought I would try them out on Vince as he did a morning workout after breakfast. Of course, I completely forgot about vegetarian Geordi and he immediately went into a sad mood. Sorry, Geordi!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It looks like Vince had been contemplating while working out, as now he approaches his mom about being treated like an adult. This kid just turned teenager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi uses this day off to continue to work on the rocketship.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the evening hours, Karmine stops by. Xochitl is at work, so she autonomously interacts with her stepfather. The two end up having a nice game of chess together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next day, Monday, Vince has his first day of high school classes. He is entering as a B student, but with the stats he has, he should be achieving A student status after his first day. Geordi goes back to work, and he will get this final promotion. Xochitl has the day off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I will follow Vince to high school on his first day for sure. Depending on the aspiration tasks will I continue to follow him. Because I am following him, there are tasks that need to be completed. Because Vince is new to school, he needs to visit the Principal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Principal recommends Vince meet up with his Class 1 teacher and introduce himself. He also has another new task to claim a locker.<\/p>\n

I think Vince will claim his locker first as there’s still lots of time before his first class starts. I have Vince give it a sporty look as I’ll have him join the football team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I find Vince’s Class 1 teacher. His name is Advaith Parikh. Looks like Advaith is teaching Math class first.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the first time I see a task of a school fire drill during class. Am happy I am experiencing new things with this gameplay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the time the fire drill ends, it’s now lunchtime. This is a good way for Vince to meet some new classmates he hasn’t in the child lifestage. This is where he meets the gal who invited him to the pre-prom party. Her name is Elena Bheeda.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When lunchtime is over, it’s off to the second class. This one turns out to be Science. At the end of the class, Vince has a successful first day of high school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Vince’s Goal Oriented Aspiration<\/strong>, one task to complete his first milestone is to earn 500 simoleons, for which it shows he has completed. I am guessing he didn’t have to, but his family did? I don’t know. I’ll take it, though.<\/p>\n

Another milestone task is to join an after-school activity. I want Vince to join the football team. Before sending him home, I have him get on his phone to join the team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon arriving home from school, I have Vince create a Social Bunny account. I plan on only having him add only teenagers he knows and that he will grow up with. Some of his childhood friends and acquaintances will also be added as soon as they reach the teenager lifestage themselves.<\/p>\n

The first message he sends is to one of the very first friends he made, Reese. I’ll have Vince constantly use Social Bunny, but not record every interaction. It will get boring to read and see all too fast. I will show off ones I think are worthy to post from the gameplay, though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi comes home and has done it. He’s reached the top of his Astronaut Career<\/strong> is an official Space Ranger now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am going to end the chapter on this good note. Both Geordi and Xochitle are at the top of their careers. Geordi has completed the main aspiration I had wanted him to. Once he becomes an elder, I will let him retire and enjoy life with his wife. I believe Vince will become a young adult close to the time Geordi ages up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
