After coming home from Al Simhara, River preoccupied her time with sculpting stone...without much success as all she seems to find are gemstones. Of course the other alternatives are clay, wood, and ice (the latter of which melts after a time - so other Simmers, be mindful that if you're doing a legacy where carving sculptures of your generations is something you plan to do to preserve your Sims for posterity...well...ice may not be the best way to go, unless you've got a walk-in freezer box for a display - do they even have that in Sims 3?)
Two days after returning flies by very quickly and everyone got together to celebrate Yasunobu's aging up to elder. Blowing out the cake was a celebratory event.
...and Yasunobu aged up nicely to an elder status - stooped shoulders and shuffling walk...along with a cane which he never used.
Everyone sat down and enjoyed cake which never seems to get old for the Sims regardless of how many times they eat the same flavor of cake over and over and over and over...~smack~...and over... Sorry, I'll stop repeating myself. Maybe someone could provide some variety in the types of birthday cakes in a mod? Chocolate maybe...or maybe a lemon cake or...or...maybe even a cheese cake - heck...you know Yasunobu has over a one hundred and thirty five pieces of CHEESE!!! And there has to be a use for them other than to make grilled cheese sandwiches or fishing for alley catfish so that you can fish for angelfish which begets deathfish...and while I'm on that subject...there has to be a use for deathfish other than just fertilizer if you want to kill a neighbour's plant or ambrosia...right (which we're not supposed to make in a legacy anyways...but I'm not playing a "legacy challenge" - this is just a "legacy story")
No balloons, no big party, no hoopla, just Yasunobu and his arthritic bones...and his family partaking of the cake which celebrated his aging. Such is life for Yasunobu.
The next person to age up not more than four days later was Constance, Satoshi's wife, who entered her adult phase of life. Again it was just the family and that was the way Constance liked it. Just her and the people she cared about the most after having married Satoshi.
After that things settled down (at least as quiet as it ever got in the Chikamori household) and Yasunobu tried his hand at inventing...but eventually found out that he would need more scrap...and obviously he had to go over to Grady's. I'm sure you all know where I'm going with this one...
"Hey, Pops, I hear you needed some more scrap for the inventing table..." "Yes, son..." "I've got a solution..." "Oh...no..." KABOOM!!!! "Darned kid!!!"
Not several days after that...Hiroko finally reached her elder status, but hasn't yet achieved her top level in the science field of Mad Scientist yet. Will she before she kicks off to the great beyond...well, I don't know, but we only have 50 days to find out.
And of course Haruo and River spent more time in the hottub together.
