The Ramirezes Were Fun, As Always. I Really Adore Them. The Tasks This Time Were Both Challenging And

The Ramirezes were fun, as always.  I really adore them.  The tasks this time were both challenging and fun.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it to 20 grilled cheese sandwiches in time, but they did it! 

Check out some more pictures and thoughts below the cut.

Tessa got the jumping on the couch task done quite quickly.  (I actually had to tell her to do it, but she enjoyed it once she got started.)

My favorite task was the Woohoo in the Elevator one, though.  I don’t think I have ever had sims do that.  I had to come up with an excuse for Checo and Lisa to be around an elevator, so I figured a hospital fundraiser party would be a good place for them to get in the right mood for something like that. 

The first time they used the elevator, it actually crashed on them!  It took me a minute to figure it out.  Lisa stumbled out with stars around her head and Checo was nowhere to be seen. He had gotten out on the lower floor.  Luckily neither of them was seriously hurt and they tried again shortly afterwards.

I knew from the beginning of the round that I wanted this elevator woohoo to be a “risky” woohoo, so to speak.  I actually told them to try for baby, so it was only risky in a story sense, but it took them four tries to get what I wanted!  I actually only had them try twice in the elevator (for fear of another crash).  They tried another two times at home before I finally got the lullaby I wanted. 

I just really, really want these two to have more than just one kid.  They have such great faces and I’d hate to see them go to waste.  Plus, I think Tessa would like being a big sister.  

Overall, the Ramirez round was another one that was a bit lighter on story (although everything is lighter than the Landgraab round this time) but the story that is emerging is a fun one.  I can’t wait to see what happens next with these guys! 

Next up is the Larson twins. Let’s see how their competition goes this time around!

A few replies for @katrisims, @sweetpea928, and @adanaknowsbest under the cut.

Whoops. It would have been smarter of Jason to use the bedroom...

I think his intention was to make it there eventually, but he didn’t think Jodie would come home before he got there.

In my town, Jason is a bit of a womanizer :P

He’s actually dated a few women in this version of Bluewater, but Sheila is the one he likes best.  I have a tendency to try to pair up my sims really fast, so I am trying to have Jason and his sister date around before settling down.

I'm all for making them playable! :)

I still might at some point.  If they don’t officially enter the rotation, I might at least make them playable and give them a business to run.  I don’t know...

I'm curious what a baby from these two will look like. I always thought Tessa was a good blend of them. An offspring EAxis did right.

I did have them have a baby last time, Maria, and she turned out pretty cute. I agree that Tessa is a good blend of her parents, possibly one of the few who actually was.  I’m excited to see what this new baby ends up looking like.  

holleyberry replied to your post: Darn it!

XD I thought I was so behind!

Ha ha!  Nope!  The queue is still set at 1 post a day, so it’s just finishing up the Ramirez round right now.  

Darn it!

Darn it, darn it.  The two posts that just went up were supposed to go in the drafts folder and then into the queue.  Not that you saw much of interest. Let’s just forget it appeared until something really similar shows up again at some point, shall we?
