Let us see how the Van Dorts are doing, shall we?

We open on what I believe is Victor making his first successful muffin. Also, it occurs to me that it's kind of unfair that only children should have muffins. I have a muffin for breakfast every morning -- my Sims deserve muffiny goodness.

Victor & Scraps: Too adorable for words. Scraps has accepted Victor as his master by this point, which is nice but will probably make things a bit sad when Victor goes to college.

Though he's still got some time of little kid school first. Look at how snazzy he looks in his new private school uniform!

What the -- Nell? Are you -- actually playing with Scraps?!

snapshot 799bc6a5 1c8b308f
Oh, no, you're being a dick to him. Carry on.

William: Do you mind if I walk behind you slightly and stare at you creepily as I go on my hike?
Grace Patch: *thinking* I think I would have preferred getting harassed by the dog.

Hey Willam, how was your --
William: BEES
I see.

Nell: What is that man doing while I'm trying to keep this horrible animal fed?
William: BEEEEES. My God.

After that, William wants to take out his frustrations on someone. Knowing he'd get in trouble if he took them out on Scraps or Nell, he decides to attack something that won't fight back.
William: Half-assed Crane Pose!

William: I'll show you to lounge around in front of my shop! *cloud of snow*

Speaking of his shop, I'd originally sent him to Van Dort Fish to try and get some fishing done, but no dice -- pond froze over. So instead it's off to the Micro Mall, since the family needs to get some groceries. First, though, there's TV watching and socializing to be done.
William: My boy's going to be a teenager in two days. It feels like just yesterday he was a toddler.

Hannah: Are you hoping he grows up well?
William: I think the voice in the sky would kill us if he didn't.
Well, he's got a good streak of being in platinum going, so I wouldn't worry just yet.

Being hungry, Will decides to try a gyro. He apparently doesn't like it, as he leaves half of it on the plate without filling up his hunger bar.

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b3403
Perhaps he's just in the mood for fresh-made food -- hence why groceries are necessary. (That and the fact no one in the house can magic up food. Seriously, playing EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK and my witch/warlock couple over in another hood has spoiled me when it comes to needs.)

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b3424
Oh William, why did I decide to try and fulfill this want of yours? You look ridicul--

snapshot 799bc6a5 7c8b344f
Huh. Okay, looks like a few people are actually into your freestyling. . .

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b3466
Holy crap, you're drawing quite a crowd! Even pregnant Lorina is impressed!

snapshot 799bc6a5 5c8b34b7
However, none of these cheapskates actually fulfill the want by leaving a tip. Maybe Will's deteriorating hygiene is the cause. Back home with you, Will!

snapshot 799bc6a5 1c8b354f
Back at home, Will has fortunately earned himself an Energizer, so he can zap himself back to happiness.

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b35d0
Victor: Father! Look! An A+!
William: I knew getting you out of public school would help! Good job!

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b360e
Good job indeed, Victor -- in addition to getting the A+, he also got a Creativity point off a chance card! Let's see if we can get you ready for a scholarship before you even transition.

Mayhew's also having a decent day -- although he didn't get a promotion, he did hit the "Earned $5,000" memory. Good for you.

Nell, the only member of the family in green Aspiration, bubbles away her failures at life.

snapshot 799bc6a5 7c8b36f8
Will spends some time playing with Scraps -- and actually plays with him, instead of pulling the stick trick first thing. Though, honestly, having that done to poor Scraps twice in a row might have been funny.

snapshot 799bc6a5 1c8b3781
Tired of throwing sticks, William and Nell instead decide to throw a ball to each other. What, she had the want to play with someone.

snapshot 799bc6a5 fc8b37cd
Nell: FASTBALL!

snapshot 799bc6a5 1c8b37d7
William: Bloody hell, Nell, that almost took off my arm!
She did this to him a couple of times. It's always fun when her Grouchy personality actually makes an appearance.

snapshot 799bc6a5 1c8b3813
Will thinks a roaring fire will be perfect on this cold night, while I vaguely worry about house fires. Just because Alice kept her parents in this continuity doesn't mean one can't be vigilant!

snapshot 799bc6a5 dc8b3877
Obligatory study party picture. William's learning cooking, while Nell's concentrating on mechanical.

snapshot 799bc6a5 5c8b3892
And upstairs, Mayhew is practicing his "I should get more money for this job" speech in front of the mirror. (Huh -- does he have the Skilled Negotiator benefit? Note to self, check Lifetime Benefits next time you play this lot.)

snapshot 799bc6a5 5c8b392d
After getting his charisma up, Mayhew joins Victor in improving his logic.
Mayhew: I'm not sure I like all this snow, but it's at least better than constant rain.
You said it.

And our story ends with -- a broken toilet. Is it just me, or is that happening a lot lately?


Perhaps not the most exciting update, but hey -- there's only so much I can do when I can't restock the shop. It's tough running a fish store when there's a chance you'll go a whole season without being able to buff up your inventory. Next time, the Liddells, and pregnant Lorina! That should be good for a yuk or two.
