I have Vince go to the spa to lead a meditation class. Then, he offers back and hand massages. Vince finished off his afternoon going to the gym to teach a yoga class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back home, both Will and Jay have upped their grades in school. William is now an A student, and Jay is a B student. This is good as Will is aging up soon to a teenager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The men of the house have dinner together as Aoi is still at work until 9pm in-game time. As Will didn’t wear his bear costume to school, he immediately puts it on after he gets home from school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the children were doing their homework, Geordi autonomously stops by for a visit. That’s great. Being an elder, I’m not sure how much time Geordi has left. I’m glad he came over to spend some time with his son and grandkids.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Wednesday arrives, both adults have work and the two boys have school. First, the family has breakfast together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before heading off to school, I get a notification that Will and Jay become best friends. These two siblings have had the best relationship in my Sims gameplay since they were toddlers. I am happy to see this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Later, Vince goes to work. During his shift, a co-worker asks for his help. Of course, Vince is going to do what he can. His relationship with his co-worker grows and the project gets done in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, Aoi also heads off to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Will and Jay get home from school, I have them immediately get their homework done before their dad gets home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Vince arrives home from work, a notification pops up that he received a raise in pay. Good for you, Vince. He’s been working hard lately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have Vince continue to teach Jay how to ride a bike. I wish we could choose our own bike helmets for the riders rather than it being random.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After about an hour and a half of training and practice, it is dinner time. Aoi is still at work, so the men of the household have dinner together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s a school night for Will and Jay, so I send them off to bed at 9:30pm in-game time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the boys go to bed, Vince and Aoi have some cuddle time on the couch before they go to bed themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning, the family have breakfast together. Vince and Aoi have the day off from work. As it’s Thursday, Will and Jay have school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After breakfast, it’s time for Will and Jay to go to school. Will has one more school day after today before he ages up to a teenager and then next week in-game time, he will be in high school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because Vince doesn’t have work, I’ll send him off the spa and gym again. Vince gives Keiko Kato both a back massage as well as a hand massage. This also help him complete the Self-Care Specialist portion of the Wellness Aspiration<\/strong>. This also completes the whole Aspiration. I still have Vince go to the gym for yoga.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Will and Jay arrive home from school right after Vince comes back from the gym. Great news. Jay is now an A student.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jay works on learning to ride a bike some more with Vince as the teacher. In doing so, Jay finally is able to complete that portion of the Mind and Body Aspiration<\/strong> and move onto the next and final level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before dinner, the family enjoys some quality time in the pool. It’s summertime and today, in-game, it’s sunny and hot. Vince grills for dinner since it’s a nice hot day outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the next morning arrives, it’s the day Will gets to become a teenager. I decide to age Will up early as all the others will be busy today and I want to celebrate his birthday with the rest of the family. They have breakfast first. I’m sure cake would be a fun breakfast for the kids. But Vince doesn’t approve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After breakfast, a cake is brought out and Will makes a wish before blowing out the candles. I immediately take him into CAS and update his appearance. The only thing I change is his hairstyle and clothes. Meet teenager William Sims! Now that he is a teenager, it looks like Will thinks he’s old enough for a motorcycle. As much fun as that would be to have in The Sims 4, it is not an option, and Will is not old enough for one yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon after, it’s time for Jay to go to school. He has approximately one more week in-game time before he ages up to a teenager and join his brother in high school. A couple hours later, Vince makes his way out the door to work. Finally, Aoi changes and heads off to work as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Jay gets home from school, I take control of him so he can do his homework. I want to make sure he stays an A student. Autonomously, his brother approaches him. The two begin to monkey around together. These two are the bestest of brothers. Then, when Vince gets home from work, the three men of the household have leftovers from yesterday for dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vince is still going through his midlife crisis. One of his desires is to create three emotional paintings. He’s painted one so far. I’ll have him work on another one. The end result is a bit confusing to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At bedtime, I don’t have to switch up the bunk beds for Will and Jay. Will is able to sleep in the same bed as he did as a child.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During his sleep time, Vince gets a notification his midlife crisis is over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m going to end this chapter here. Now that Vince is at the top of his career and finished his Aspiration, the upcoming chapters will focus on Generation 3 heir, Jason. This Because this is Generation 2, I’ll still show off Vince more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
