Erin: So you don’t miss her, that ship’s definitely set sail?
Duncan: I won’t lie, I’ll probably always have some sort of feeling for Aiyanna, but…
Erin: …But what?
Duncan: But you’re still the best and the sexiest, the women I love the most in the world.
Erin: That’s what I like to hear. You’re stuck with me now, for better or worse.
Duncan: Listen, babe, you’ve got no reason to be insecure at this point. I’m the one who’s gone all old and grey!
Erin: You’re still devastatingly handsome, dear.
Duncan: Oh? Tell me more…
Duncan: I still got it, right?
Erin: For heaven’s sake…
Duncan: Come on, babe! Tell me I rocked your world.
Erin: Am I not vocal enough or something? Do you really need an evaluation every time?
Duncan: How many stars, out of 5?
Well, uh, anyway while Duncan and Erin were staying in shape Finn & Penelope grew up! I was so sure it was the next day, I meant to give them a party :( Ah well, not like either of them actually have any friends lol
Finn grew into a family sim with a LTW to become mayor! He also gained the charismatic trait, which should prove handy if he’s gonna go into politics. He likes athletic types, bonus points if they’re all sweaty from working out… gender not important.
To recap, he’s a sagittarius who likes sports, sailing & books. He’s also got a lot of his father’s neuroticism, although like Duncan he hides it pretty well!
Penelope grows into a knowledge sim who dreams of becoming a media magnate. Like her brother she actually picked up a semi-useful trait to go with her ambition: photographer’s eye! She’s straight & likes her men fit, with dark hair.
Her other traits are equestrian, loves the cold, loves the outdoors, and her hobby is sports. I could totally see her being one of those outdoorsy lifestyle writer/bloggers, traveling the world on a horse… she is very devoted to that cowgirl aesthetic, never takes the hat off!
Erin: Did we miss you two growing up????
Finn: Yup.
Duncan: Sorry kids but it was worth it.
Penelope: Is that… a book?
Finn: I’m not illiterate, Pen! I actually just got a new job so I’m brushing up on my mechanical skills.
Penelope: So you’re not going to let me kick your ass at FIFA?
Finn: So is this mac & cheese delicacy the sort of thing you’re going to be making to sustain yourself on your exotic travels?
Penelope: Shut up, Finn. You’re so annoying!
Duncan: Did someone say mac & cheese? You’d better not have copied my secret recipe, Pen-pen!
Duncan: Your hair tickles.
Erin: Think I should get it cut?
Duncan: Nah, I love long hair on you.
Penelope: You guys gonna help me clean up, or is that my job now?
Duncan: Thanks for helping out, Pen.
Erin: Are you making pancakes? You’ll be late for work, dear.
Lewis: I gotta say, I love the hat! Wearing it with your PJs is so iconic.
Penelope: Finally, somebody says it!
Penelope: Mom really whacked you with that pillow! Do you want a back rub?
Finn: Um, no? Gross and weird?
Penelope: What’s that supossed to mean? You’re the one making it weird, Finn!
Penelope: You’re retiring?????
Duncan: I mean, nobody really wants to watch an old man kick a ball up and down a field, it’s just basic psychology!
Duncan: Look, once you read an article in a magazine questioning why you’re still playing at your age, it gets you thinking! Besides, it’s not as if we really need the money.
Lewis: What about our college funds?
Duncan: Kiddo, this is a legacy. I’d advise you drop that “college” idea ASAP or you’re just gonna be setting yourself up for dissapointment.
Erin: Does this mean we can spend the day together, dear?
Duncan: I’m all yours, babe.
Lewis: Am I the only one who hates this?
Penelope: Nope.
Finn: Nice hat, nerd.
Penelope: Okay first I am not a nerd and second you are also wearing a hat-
Since its a Saturday and the whole household is free, it’s time for a nice family outing!
Erin: I’ve got my eye on you, dear.
Duncan: Give me a little credit, babe! I’m not about to start chatting up other women in the middle of a date with you.
Erin: Oh, is this a date? I thought it was a family outing.
Duncan: I don’t see why it can’t be both.
Finn: Gross… sorry Pen, I’m gonna go somewhere else, I don’t want anyone realising those are our parents.
Lewis: Hey! I was wondering when we’d bump into each other again.
Rhianna: Not much to wonder about - I’m always here.
Finn: Wow, so, uh, hey! Are you into my brother? Or will you let me buy you a coffee?
Rhianna: Sure, I’m on break anyway. I’ll have an americano?
I left the kids mostly to their own devices and Lewis spent some time playing pinball with Dante by @episims while Penelope didn’t even bother with people and made a beeline for a stray dog.
Finn and Rhianna the cashier (from @simscommunityproject) hit it off though - they have 2 bolts! Originally I thought she’d be a good match for Lewis with his brown hair/hats turn ons, but despite the ‘flirty’ trait he’s not met anyone he’s super into, yet.
Erin’s just dropping off the standard dream date bouquet when she bumps into one of her old townie pals. He’s sometimes seen around town ACR-ing with Kelly.
Duncan: You’re eating one of those meal-in-a-cans? You do know they have no nutritional value, yeah?
Finn: C’mon Dad, I know you’re the one who keeps buying them.
Duncan: Yes, okay, but I’m just cooking! Be patient. Erin’s going to say I’m a bad influence if she catches you eating that crap.
Duncan: Hey, babe, I made din- who’s this guy?
Erin: Just an old college friend. I bumped into him outside.
Duncan: Uh-huh. College friend. Cool, cool.
Erin: It’s been really nice having you for dinner! I never see much of the old gang…
Townie: I’ll bring Kelly next time!
Erin: Uh, Kelly? Maybe don’t!
Townie: Well, I’d better get going… it was nice catching up.
Erin: Yeah! Well, I’ll see you around, um…
Townie: You don’t remember my name, do you?
Erin finally gets around to fixing the radio - and I finally got around to fixing Duncan’s elder wardrobe. He just doesn’t look quite right without one of his signature plant-prints to me? Finally he feels like Duncan again, lol!
Duncan: I bet you can’t beat your old man at “you punch me!”
Finn: Wouldn’t count on it!
Duncan: Hah! Barely felt it. That’s okay, kiddo. Nobody can beat- ouch!
Finn: Ha!
Duncan: Damn, maybe you should join the boxing team.
Duncan: So what mister-college-pal about, huh? You trying to make me jealous, babe?
Erin: You are so ridiculous. There’s no need to get all territorial, if I wanted to have a vengenge fling, this would be rather ill-timed.
Duncan: Woah, woah, I didn’t say vengence fling! I just figured you wanted to get under my skin or whatever.
Erin: Why would I? Your logic is a little concerning.
Duncan: I dunno! Whatever, hey, if you are going to have an ill-timed vengence fling, can it be with a woman? It’d be hot.
Erin: Sounds a little counter-intuitive, if it’s supossed to be vengence… I think I need an early night, will you be able to keep yourself busy?
Duncan: Sure, babe!
