It’s the apocalypse. It’s been going on for awhile.

We need a masterpiece portrait of the next heir; so Marcus is trying and failing to get a portrait of Lance.

The oldest brothers are adding plaques to the walls. Heir Matthew has now maxed athletics. His middle brother Lucas has maxed writing, and eldest Leo has maxed cooking.

Matthew flaunts his astronaut suit and Leo brings home a flaming dessert for everyone to celebrate the double clears – cooking and military. Yay! Go anywhere safely (in numbers) and eat whatever you like!

Grandpa’s ghost interrupts Leo’s sleep, so he takes the time to snack on some produce before returning to bed. (I liked that the dream bubbles in the first pic are all the clears that the brothers have been working on – music/entertainment, cooking, and astronaut/military.)

Gardening is a big part of their life and gives them something to do when they aren’t skilling on something else.

Lucas managed to get a masterpiece of Lance. It wasn’t that great looking, so Marcus tried, and failed, again. (Oh well, it’s not what it looks like that’s important here, just that it is a masterpiece.)

Lucas is so happy to have achieved his lifetime wish. He can now add the painting plaque to the writing and guitar ones.

Not to be outdone, Leo adds an athletic plaque, Tracy, Matthew’s wife, adds a logic plaque, and Marcus gets a painting plaque.

Here’s a pic of Mom Tracy as she maxed her logic skill.

Thanks to Leo, the family now gets a stove. Matthew upgrades it to make if fireproof.

Lucas gets the opportunity to plant some unusual plants, so he drags Leo with him to the bistro.

Lucas becomes a rock star. (Maybe he’ll do a concert, so we can have a pic of him in costume; but here’s a pic of Leo in his chef garb.)

Love the expression on Matthew’s face as they watch the garden channel! And look at ghost Grandma saluting her son, the astronaut!

Also, love the wonderful free meals that Leo brings home from work with him sometimes.

Marcus transitions to young adult.

Mom Tracy gets to the top of medical, so they can now have showers and laundry (because scientific technology and medical hygiene meet).

Lance invites over his teen sweetheart who appears to be concerned about ghosts. The rest of the family makes sure to have great relationships with their boss and co-worker, but Leo is temporarily boss-less and only is old friends with one co-worker. (I swear that the Showtime professions are all pulled from the culinary field – struggling actors and actresses are all stereotyped as one-time waiters and waitresses.)

Lances ages up.

Graduation comes while mom Tracy is still cooking breakfast, so she cooks, eats, and says hi to the sim on the doorstep before heading to city hall.

Marcus and Leo were waiting to meet up with Tracy in the cab, so Marcus was a bit later graduating than Lance. Eventually, everything was worked out. (I cancelled the meet up option in the queue and Tracy still went there on her own later.) Loner Lance was voted most likely to never leave the house and older brother Marcus was voted most likely to write a best-seller, which he has already done. (I forgot to mention that both Marcus and Lucas have written best-sellers. Lucas wrote a best-selling poetry book, which isn’t even one of the required ones on the list! And, Marcus wrote a best-selling drama, I think.)

Since Lance’s sweetheart is also a loner who appears concerned about ghosts, and still a teen, Mom and Dad have decided to have another baby or two. Hopefully, Marcus and Lance will see children siblings before their parents move out!

Next, Marcus is in journalism and Lance will begin an education career.
