Yeah I’ve already lost track of what sim-day I’m on, so we’re just gonna forget that was a thing…

Surprise! Nina is pregnant with her first child! (yeah, I know, not that surprising…) She’s been having a happy and relaxing pregnancy so far, just painting, eating, and playing the guitar. Leon hadn’t been over yet to visit, and Nina was in the process of dialing his number when…

Nina went into labor! I’m loving how Maya is freaking out, but Nina is as content as can be.

Welcome to the world, Quinn Vastra! Auntie Maya is very ready for this big responsibility!

Now this is where the rule breaking comes in…the challenge rules are pretty strict with what the girls can and can’t do, so I wanted to tweak it a bit while still staying mostly true to the challenge. I felt bad that Maya and Aria are never allowed to leave the lot, so I made a little rule that whenever a sister reaches level 10 in a skill, they get an afternoon on the town. This helps to get rid of the stir crazy moodlet, and it’s also fun for me, because I like to design community lots and actually have my Sims use them, not just sit in their houses their whole lives.

Since Aria just made it to level 10 in logic, I sent her first to the bookstore to get science books, then it was off to The Warehouse, a bowlerama/arcade/coffee shop/cyber cafe combo that was built in the abandoned warehouse in Riverview. She had a blast unwinding with some arcade games, but her favorite thing was bowling.

She had so much fun, I didn’t feel bad about breaking the rules. I was hoping I could get Maya’s cooking skill up to level 10 before the first baby was born, since now her hands are going to be full with raising Quinn, but maybe someday she’ll get her day out. I’ll have to think of other rewards for Nina and Gaia, since they’re already allowed to leave the lot. Maybe a trip to China for Gaia reaching level 10 of martial arts?
