We begin this chapter with Sitara and Tim starting up some risky woohoo in her parents' bed, while teen Kesari and her boyfriend make out in the same room. You know, just a typical day in my wishacy.
Sitara and Tim choose risky woohoo quite a bit, but with no results so far. Sitara has the Lucky trait, and I did notice that in the menu, risky woohoo has the clover icon crossed out on it. I couldn't find anything in the Nraas wiki that said that the Lucky trait might make risky woohoo less risky, but it seemed like the kind of thing Twallan would think of. So, Sitara usd up 20k points to buy the reward to change her traits, changing out Lucky for Hopeless Romantic, in the hopes that she might start rolling more romantic wishes.
Kairavi is clearly impressed by the age up process. She immediately rolls a wish to join the medical career, and once she takes her job, she buys herself a house and moves out. SP marries her off to her high school crush Josue Hudson pretty quickly.
We've established a pattern: Sitara invites Tim over after work to fulfill some kind of interaction wish, and she'll use her one directed interaction per Sim per day allowance asking him to spend the night. They'll risky woohoo autonomously, and then Sitara leaves early for work the next morning while Tim hangs out all day with Chelsea, flirting and talking about composting.
And lounging in the hot tub. If he doesn't have a shift that night, we get an extra night out of him.
Tim is obviously pretty pleased with the arrangement. Too bad Sitara hasn't wished for anything more permanent.
Chelsea's been having a bunch of gardening related wishes, so we added on a little greenhouse thing, using Inge Jones invisible rug pieces to make a 'glass' roof.
View from the inside. Timothy has the Green Thumb trait, so if he ever does get to move in here, he'll probably enjoy this.
"Hey, so, I was wondering if you're seeing anyone?"
"Um, yeah...I'm kind of married. To your girlfriend's father."
"You're here all the time anyway. Why don't you just move in?"
"Your sister hasn't asked me."
The Hopeless Romantic trait hasn't kicked in. Sitara's wishes are pretty much the same as ever, more about writing and her career than anything else. She'll get wishes to kiss Tim or chat with him, which at least is a reason to get him over here.
Sitara comes home from work. Before she gets in the door, Tim is already preparing for some woohoo.
I had scheduled this club for some major renovations (again) because Sims weren't using the dance floor on the second level. Pigtail guy to the rescue!
Sitara had a wish to visit a club. She's alone because Tim is at work. Autonomously, lured by the awesomeness of the pigtails, she goes upstairs to dance.
Soon, the dance floor is rocking. Everyone wants to be where pigtail guy is. Club renovations are put on hold.
More risky woohoo. Still no pregnancy.
Jamie and Tamira have been more fruitful. They just had a son, Ken.
Kiran had a wish to chat with his oldest daughter, but she left the house before he arrived. While he was there, Kiran autonomously snuggled with his first grandchild.
And Jamie inappropriately decided to insult Kiran's family. Meaning, his own newborn son. Kiran is clearly confused.
Tim is hanging out in the nursery when he gets the news of his mother's death. Being in mourning doesn't stop him from rushing off to work, though.
"Let go of your physical shell. Reach out to grasp the threads that bind us, one to another. Open yourself to the universe, Commander. Embrace eternity."
"There's a smudge on the window. I need to clean it."
Sitara rushes over to Tim's house the next morning to offer her condolences.
Tim's step-father, Sahan has apparently been demoted down to the kiddie bed after Cricket's death. I'm guessing this used to be Tim's room.
Fun Fact: I recently discovered that Tim and Jamie are cousins. Tim's maternal grandfather, Richard Irwin (Cricket's dad) is the town's original Dirty Cheating Bastard, and is the father of baby Lola Lancaster is carrying when Lucky Palms opens, even though he's still married to Cricket's mother. Lola Lancaster is Jamie's maternal grandmother, and Richard Irwin is his maternal grandfather, making him and Tim second cousins.
Tim is also related to Alvaro Tanner, his father Ethan is Alvaro's older brother.
Tim's cat, who will be moving in with him if Sitara ever gets around to marrying him.
"Baby, my Mom just died..."
"I bet she wanted grandchildren. We'll risky woohoo in her bed, in her honor."
Love Day Festival! Sadly, Sitara doesn't have any romantic wishes at all, not even to go to the festival, and no wishes to even chat with Tim on this day. Hopeles Romantic? Hardly.
"Who's the President of Funk?"
You are, obviously. Just, don't let Suresh hear you talking like that.
Chelsea, I think the face painting booth owes you a refund.
"What? This is exactly what I asked for."
Kiran won the King of the Spring Dance award this year, so of course Suresh had to show him up. At Kiran's next fundraiser, he showed everyone who's the Emperor of Funk.
"That's right, You know you want some."

So, yeah, still no baby action or marriage wishes from Sitara. She's very focused on writing and her career. I'm not too worried yet, she still has time, and it's actually nice to not usher in this generation with an immediate pregnancy.
The rules allow one free day once your heir has earned 50k happiness points, but I've upped that total to 150k because with the reamer mod my Sims earn points on fulfilling wishes that haven't been promised, so they tend to have more than 50k when they reach YA. So far, I haven't used a free day at all. If it comes to it, I'll use that allowance to get Sitara to marry Tim and get pregnant, but I'm holding out as long as I can for her to wish for it.
