Coffee Time With Jo: TS4: The September of Our Years (Part 19)

The Sims 4: The September of Our Years

There comes a time in every The Sims game where you look at the characters you created and think to yourself "They've come far". From their humblest of beginnings to their most lavish ends, these sims inevitably (if you're nice) become masters of their talents, painting masterpieces or composing beautiful orchestras.

When you start a game, all the sims started at the same time have the same birthday. Due to the way ages work, it would happen that Lilith's birthday for adulthood would occur two days before Nosco and Myllenium would retire.

Two days later, a small celebration was had where Nosco and Myllenium (un-)gracefully aged to their silver years.

At that moment, I've had them call in to their respective jobs and retire; Nosco as a Start-Up Genius, and Myllenium as a Patron of the Arts. One thing I didn't know is how retirement works in TS4; rather than just quit their jobs, they're living off a pension proportional to how much they were making before retirement. The end result is that they can still afford the house. Neat!

Lilith on the other hand decided to try her hand in the entertainment career as a C-Lister (whatever that means). Still, all she needs to do is play music when she's not off to work, so it's a perfect fit! I also noticed that she had started gaining a tiny bit of weight, so I had her work out a little more to make sure she stays healthy!

I also noticed that the household now has over $150'000 in the bank.

Since Lilith would no longer have her social needs met in school, I had her find herself a friend. Meet Isabel Pearson, another music lover. Isabel has a brother and a sister, all three living in the same house.

I'm sure they're going to be friends for life!

Nosco continued taking care of his garden, although looking like a grumpy old man now. When he's not tending his plants, he spends his time dancing in the bar.
