Round 5: Darden 1

Last time at the Darden household Shannon left for college leaving Robert alone. Robert adopted Fah-Zhai, an elder small dog. Robert also changed his aspiration from Pleasure to Grilled Cheese. Now Louie has moved back home.


 I can't handle Robert being a Grilled Cheese Sim like I thought I could, so I'm changing him back. Also I'm not sure if him being Grilled Cheese was the reason, but the game was really lagging before I decided to change him back. I only got seven Grilled Cheese memories before he changed back.

 He went back to being Pleasure and his LTW is to Become a Professional Party Guest.

He was Fat and has the want to be Fit so he is going to be on the treadmill for some time.

 The Darden family built a pool as well as pond and greenhouse. They also have some orchard trees.
 but they were moved behind the greenhouse to make room for the pool.

Robert and Louie play Marco Polo.

 Oh no, the tree is on fire from the lightning!

 It's raining, but it got pretty big. Luckly they didn't notice it.

 The rain put the fire out so they didn't need to call the fireman.

 Louie called the Garden club, after he and his dad added to the garden to make it nice.

 The Garden Club rep comes and Louie greets her.

 Robert got a Bronze Garden Badge as he plants the last few tomato plants.

 Louie asks for a membership, now to wait for them to do their evaluation of the Garden.

 YES! This is actually the first time I've been brave enough to try for the Garden Club.

 Louie puts the Wishing well to use right away.

 He wishes for love.

 This is Carla Reamon.

 First Kiss.

 Louie fell in love with her and decided to ask her to marry him.


 Carla accepted the proposal.

 Louie asks Carla to move in with him before they get married.

 Carla is a Popularity Sim with the LTW to have 20 BF and the same time.

 The last look at Carla before she changes her clothes, Louie went to the store to get a few things.

 Louie gets some clothes for Carla.

 Here is Carla's new look, for now at least.
 Now time for the wedding party.

 Melvin and Ivy Darden were invited to the wedding, Shannon was invited over separately. Looks like Ivy forgot to change her dress.

 Louie and Carla work to make the party a Roof Raiser.

 Shannon makes it to the wedding.

 Time for the ceremony, Melvin and Ivy are having a pillow fight and don't want to stop to watch.

 Now two of Roberts three children have gotten married.

 They are still having a pillow fight.

 Now it's time fore the newly weds to have a pillow fight.

 Time for cake.

 Louie hand feeds Carla the first piece.

Carla sits with her new in-laws and gets to know them.
Robert is only wearing his swimwear because he took the pool as a shortcut to get to the cake.

 The party was a Roof Raiser.

 Ouch! Robert got struck by lightning. He was trying to pay the bills. His bladder failed him before he had a chance to get to the toilet. Although it's partly my fault for telling him to flush first. I wish they would all flush automatically!

 One of their trees also caught on fire.

 Carla, not noticing the tree was on fire, found a job in Politics as an Intern.

A few hours later  Louie and Carla 'try for baby' and get it on the first try.

 Carla has some morning sickness.

Robert got Promoted to Freelance Web Designer, only one more promotion and he's at the top.

 First baby bump!

 Oops! Louie was in the elevator when it broke.

 But at least he was able to find a job in Law Enforcement as a SWAT Team Leader.

 Robert earned his Silver Garden Badge.

 Second baby bump!

 Robert is getting his aspiration level up before his birthday.

 That many candles is dangerous.


 Robert grew up Platinum.

That's a better look, I think.

 Well it's 8 AM Monday, next time Carla should have the baby. Now off to the Beal house.
