New Storyline: The Burb's Year 1

It's not that I have much time to play because of my job, household (short: RL), but posting about the life of my simsfamilies on my blog is a motivation to create time for it as I want to have a blogpost a day. I'm still playing the Genderswapped Uberhood by sushigal007 at Modthesims. The storylines of the families is still the same as the regular storylines so I'm not going to put that on my blog, but I'll tell their future storylines I have in mind. It appears I play a slightly different storyline because of the genderswap. I also have put up a realistic economical and aging system which requires some Essential Mods which can be found here: http://s2idownloads.blogspot.be/p/the-essentials.html The essentials still need to be updated once in a while. As I go on playing I notice more and more essentials and there are still many TS2 creators who create new (essential to me) mods. Previously on The Burb's: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/2018/05/new-overview-creations-storylines.html The Burb's Year 1 The burb's are very happy in their apartment. They're really close. And it's good with them three, but Joan really wants another baby. So...

It's not much of a pregnant belly yet. Joan tries to wear her regular clothes for as long as she can, but if you look closely you can see her belly already growing. Though Joan is already pregnant she starts a job in the Culinary career (PTO3) as a Dishwasher (lvl 1). She's going to try to go to work as long as she can while pregnant. Even though the carpool won't come for her anymore. Jeremy has one chance card after another and without having to work on his skills he gets one promotion after the other. This means they can really save some money fast to buy the house next to the apartmentblock (so they can still see the oldies). It will need to be big enough for two kids. And only a few months later her belly is getting really big. Though Lucian is excited about the baby coming and he being a big brother and all, he can't help but wonder whether his parents will still give him the attention he needs as a kid. Joan knows his concerns and comforts him. While Lucian understands he has to help in the household as being the big brother he really does his best. He tries cooking, but cupcake after cupcake is burnt. Luckily he can also help doing the dishes and they are all enjoying their last meals being a family of three. They have already a child, but Joan and Jeremy are really enjoying the time before the baby comes. A child needs attention, but not as much as the care of a newborn baby. So they will remember their last quiet and loving moments in the kitchen, because a little while later... Jeremy is changing diapers again. Thanks to all of Jeremy's promotions and Joan starting a job (though she was already a few months pregnant) the Burb's where able to save some money enough to buy the house next door. The house is really an improvement compared to their small apartment, but though Joan really thought she loved the house, once moved in she had some second thoughts when she was arranging the furniture. And miscalculated the number of bedrooms upstairs. They thought a moment they could turn the attic into a third bedroom, but the roof is way too low. They decide to live their for at least a little while. Maybe they'll get used to it living there, but that's only something time can say. So...: Will the house be still big enough once Lucian becomes a teen and will probably want a room of his own instead of having to share it with his baby brother? Will chance cards still always turn right for both Jeremy and Joan? Or will one of them lose their job? And with the baby crying so much let's hope Lucian's grade will stay A+.
