Fall 1: Week 2

<< Master Fall 1: Week 1— Career Fall 1: Week 1 >>


Last week, the Coopers had a second child named Zoey and Zach became a toddler. Hazel and Dawn focused on their careers and their children. Let’s see how this week goes…

Zoey learns to sit up!

Hazel has some time off, so she spends it with Zach. This little boy has great moms who love to spend time with both their kids.

Hazel donates another 1000 dollars to another charity of her choice. This family has now donated 4000 dollars.

The rest of the money they have goes into investing in this home for the future. They upgrade the bathroom and kitchen.

Zoey learns to crawl and tries her first foods. She really likes sweet potatoes and yogurt bites.

Zach maxes out the imagination skill while reading a book.

Hazel has a new promotion at her politician career, she is now level 7! She only works 3 days a week now and it’s early in the week so she doesn’t work again until Friday and Saturday. It will definitely be harder to get a promotion now.

Zoey learns to dance! She loves to wiggle and move. She really needs a diaper change and a bath though too!

Dawn completes the mural of the city. It looks great!

Zach maxes all the toddler skills, which completes the requirement for one toddler to complete all skills. Great job for little Zach!

Zach is very confident in his abilities, now he’s ready to move onto childhood. It’s coming soon, just a day or two more…

Zach has his parents dancing along with him to kids music. The whole family likes dancing!

Hazel is a very social person, she now has 12 friends so she completes another milestone of her friend of the world aspiration. She needs to make even more friends to complete this. We know she can do this!

It’s Zach’s birthday today! Happy Birthday Zach!!!

Zach is a child who is a goofball and loves to crack jokes. He is a social butterfly taking after Hazel that way.

Since we now have a child in the house, the bedroom needs an upgrade.

It’s also Zoey’s birthday! Now we’ll have a toddler and child, no little babies anymore.

Happy Birthday Zoey!

Zoey is an angelic toddler who also receives the Top Notch Infant trait. Zoey is a picky eater, loves wake up time and loves sounds, especially music.

Zach comes home from first day of school where he met Wanda Spencer and Matt Munch. Matt is over for a visit and Zach is getting to know him better.

Matt Munch and Zach are really hitting it off! They spend time dancing, chatting and watching tv together before Matt heads home.

It’s Harvest Fest! Time to celebrate the wonderous food and family we are blessed with. The family appeases the gnomes, Zach creates holiday crafts and the family eats a meal together like every other night.

Dawn completes last masterpiece she needs to complete the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. She wasn’t working on it too hard but she did manage to complete it while doing all the paintings for fun or work.

Wanda Spencer is over visiting and Zach and her become BFFs. They are going to be close friends and possibly more if they aren’t chosen as heirs in their families..

Zach plays doctor with his bear, as he tries to build up some positive character values.

Hazel donates another 1000 dollars to charity. The Coopers have now donated the full 5000 they were required to in the rules. Another task has been completed.

Zach losses two teeth! The tooth fairy brought him a lot of money! He is happy to have a little of his own cash in his bank account.

Zach reaches level 10 in the social skill as he chats more with Wanda when she stops by again.

Hazel’s birthday has come and she ages into an adult.

New game achievement was shown during the last few hours with this family. It’s the Sim turn neutral achievement.

That ends the second week with the Cooper family. Let’s recap… Hazel is level 7 of the Charity Organizer branch of Politician, she has maxed her charisma skill. She has donated 5000 dollars to charity and collected 12,675 dollars in donations for her charity. She needs to collect 20 thousand dollars. Dawn has completed the mural for the week, and level 4 of the Freelance Artist career. Zach completed the toddler age with all skills completed, giving him top notch toddler trait. Now he is working on completing his aspiration. Zoey has just become a toddler and started working on her skills.

We will return to this family in rotation 3!

Welcome back to the Coopers! We’re back with Hazel and Dawn as they have adventures while living in San Myshuno. Just to remind everyone of the family: Hazel, the politician and Dawn the artist.

Zach loves spending time with both his moms. They love him so much!

Dawn teaches Zach how to crawl.

Hazel invites over friends to collect more donations for her cause. She gets 25 dollars from Arun, Johnny, Don, Makoa, Geoffrey and Marcus. She’s very persuasive, this won’t be the last time she asks them for money for her charity.

Hazel and Dawn woohoo in the shower when they have some free time. The shower means they won’t wake up Zach as he still sleeps in their room.

Dawn starts working on this mural so we can enjoy it for the next two weeks in this family.

Zach tries new foods, and he loves them! We find out that he is a messy eater!

Dawn finds out she’s pregnant! She tells Hazel and both are super happy to bring in another baby to their family. Both are hoping for a healthy baby and don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl.

It’s Be Thankful day! Today we get to appreciate art, which is everywhere in this house! Hazel gives a speech about thankfulness for her work from home task.

Both Hazel and Dawn are thankful to the people in their lives.

While Hazel is at the gym promoting her cause, we run into Austin Anderson from Stereotypes challenge. Hazel decides to promote the cause to him, his wife and his friends.

Hazel gets a promotion to level 6 of the politician career.

Hazel donates 1000 dollars to a charity that isn’t her own. She likes to help all charities in some way.

Geekcon is in town, so Hazel and Dawn head over to enjoy the day. They meet up with Miles Spencer at the festival, and Hazel gathers more donations for her charity. Hazel loves to talk about her charity work whenever and wherever she can. Dawn doesn’t mind but sometimes finds it hard to enjoy the event as she would like.

Happy Birthday little Zach!!

Zach ages up to a toddler with the independent and Top-Notch infant traits. He has a good appetite, hates waking up in the morning and loves sounds especially music.

Hazel and Dawn set up a nice room for Zach and he loves to be a big boy with his own room and a new bed!

Hazel spends time with Zach on his birthday! He loves to play airplane with mommy!

Zach is into everything, he loves water and dancing. He is working towards getting all the toddler traits.

Hazel gets the Cheerful trait. Though I forgot to take a picture at the time so I took one after when I remembered.

Zach is talking to himself in the mirror.. So Cute!@! Never realized this action existed until I accidently clicked on it with him.

Dawn goes into labor and ready to head to the hospital.

At the hospital, Hazel panics and Dawn stays cool. The challenge doctor is off on vacation right now, so Dawn has someone else, Riku Mori.

Dawn gives birth to a little girl, which they name Zoey Cooper. Welcome to the family little Zoey!

They bring home the new bundle of joy and Zach is sad to see her. He didn’t want a sibling.

Hazel maxes out the Charisma skill while getting donations and promoting her cause. That’s one of her requirements completed.

Zoey ages up to an infant with the wiggly trait. She’s frequently hiccupping, always gassy and soothes herself when she’s unhappy or sleepy.

Hazel helps to take care of Zoey while she’s off today as she knows she will be busy other days.

Hazel reads Zach to sleep before bed. He loves the story but doesn’t want to go to bed.

This ends the first week with the Coopers. We had the first completed requirement this week, with Hazel maxing the Charisma skill. There are many others in progress and we’ll see how they go over the second week with the Coopers.

Summer 1: Week 2

<< Master Summer 1: Week 1— Career Summer 1: Week 1 >>


Back again for week 2 with the Coopers: Hazel and Dawn. Last week they were working on their careers and completing tasks. Hazel did a lot of protests around the city and Dawn worked on her art wherever Hazel was working or at home. Let’s see what the girls are up to this week.

Start off the week with a promotion for Hazel. She’s now level 3 of the politician career.

Dawn takes a pregnancy test after feeling like she could be pregnant. It comes out positive! A baby is on the way for this family!

Dawn gives the baby news to Hazel who is super excited about the baby too. Both can’t wait to be parents.

Hazel is working from the field today. Her task was to complete a political mural. After spending most of the day working on this, she completed it. She did a wonderful job!

Hazel needed to protest again for her work, so Dawn joined the protest as she was caught up on her work.

Dawn has some free time so she decided to redo the mural. (I originally thought I’d have Dawn do a mural per week but it takes A LOT of time to complete so I changed it to once every 2 weeks) This mural is an optical illusion so Dawn painted the wall brown to help.

Hazel needs a hobby when she’s not working. She takes up piano for her creative side. This leads her to get the Creative trait, which we say yes to.

Baby belly is really growing and won’t be long now. The baby is coming soon and both parents are ready to meet the little bundle.

Dawn decides to learn to play chess as a hobby as she doesn’t want to spend all her time painting.

Hazel decides to join her and play together.

Dawn maxes out the painting skill on this masterpiece. Hazel comes over to congratulate her and talk about keeping the painting. Dawn decides to sell it as she wants other to enjoy it too.

Money is going well for this couple, as Dawn makes a lot of money off the freelance work and Hazel is starting to make a good amount too. So Hazel donates the first $1000 to a charity.

Hazel gets another promotion. Way to go!

Labor has started for Dawn and that means the baby is coming!

Will it be a girl or boy? Let’s head to the hospital to see who is going to deliver the baby. (I am going to try to have all the babies in this large challenge at the hospital, but may not happen all the time)

Hazel and Dawn make it to the hospital safely.

Doctor Justice Watkins starts the delivery process. Hazel is still panicking as she waits for their little baby.

Welcome to the world little baby boy, Zach Cooper. He’s captured the hearts of both moms in minutes. Will he look like Dawn or Hazel?

Hazel protests for her charity again at the front of the karaoke bar. She needs to complete this for her work.

After finishing the protest and Dawn completing her work, they decide to have some fun doing Karaoke together. They both sing decently but have moments where they need more practice. It was a great date night for the couple.

Dawn was able to max out the bar in her freelance work and get awards. Is this what is meant as “Rank up as a Freelancer – Artist”?

Maybe there are still more promotions, not sure as I don’t do freelance careers normally. I will have to look into this..

Hazel and Dawn do more protests in both Fashion district and the Upper district. Hazel hopes to get more supporters of her cause.

While Hazel does the protests in the Fashion district, Dawn sees a celebrity, Thorne Bailey and asks for an autograph. He says yes to an autograph, so Dawn proceeds to act like a fanatic fan.

Zach ages up to an infant. He’s a cutie but needs a make over!

Zach Cooper after a make over. He looks like his mom, Dawn. He is a cautious infant.

Let’s bombard you with some infant Zach cute pictures..

Zach smiles, has his first bath and learns to lift his head. He also has a good appetite and loves to be held by anyone willing to hold him. He gets pretty upset when he’s put down sometimes.

Received a prank call from someone and it was Miles Spencer from the Legendary Family.

Parent’s Day is here! This is a celebration day for all moms and dads to be appreciated and loved.

Hazel makes a cake for the family while both Dawn and Hazel paint pictures for each other as Zach is not old enough to help with this.

They both enjoy giving and receiving gifts. The paintings below are hung on the wall. The llama is created by Hazel and the city sketch is drawn by Dawn. They both had a wonderful parents day!

Hazel gets a promotion to level 5 of the politician career and picks the charity organizer branch.

Zach learns to sit up and they are teaching him to stand but it’s still a work in progress. He loves to play with toys.

This ends week 2 with the Cooper family. They are all sleeping at 4am when it’s time to say goodbye until next season.

See you at the next check in with the Parkers…

Summer 1: Week 1

<< NSB Spring 1: Week 2— Master Summer 1: Week 2 >>


Welcome to Master Simmer Challenge with the happy Cooper couple, Hazel and Dawn. This will be the first of the two weeks with this family. Let’s quickly review the tasks needed for these two.

Hazel’s Requirements:

  • Get to level 10 of the Politician career (Charity Organizer)
  • Master the Charisma skill
  • Collect 20,000 Simoleons in donations
  • Donate at least 5000 to Charity

Dawn’s Requirements:

  • Rank up as a Freelancer – Artist
  • Master the Painting Skill
  • Create a mural in the house/lot once per 2 weeks (My optional requirement, to give Dawn more to do)

Now that we all remember the requirements, let’s see how the family does in their first week. The family is living in San Myshuno, Spice Market in the Culpepper Apartments.

When joining this family, Hazel is grilling food and Dawn is watching TV. After an apartment makeover, just for better look/feel (I did not include the pics.. try to remember for next time.. ), time to start playing.

Hazel finishes making the food, both sit down to eat the food before getting the needed career and going back to bed.

Hazel makes the first step in the politician requirement. She takes a job and chooses a cause to support. She chooses to promote the cause – No Sims Left Behind. After this, they both head back to bed until a more reasonable wake up time.

Welcome wagon stops by to introduce themselves. Greta is a neighbor where Arun and Jesminder live in the building next door. Only sims living in the area right now.
Hazel goes out to meet with everyone as she’s the more outgoing sim. She chats with Arun who seems to be more social too.

Jesminder and Greta seem a little harder to get to know for Hazel. Dawn joins the conversations too, trying to get to know them all.
Jesminder seems a little standoffish in much of their encounter, but Hazel does manage to break her out of the funk and smile.

Hazel made friends with Arun before the welcome wagon left. Still working on the other neighbors but they all have a positive relationship with both Hazel and Dawn.

Dawn and Hazel spend a relaxing evening together before Hazel starts her busy career. They are very close so the close family dynamic, fits perfectly with these two.

Hazel starts her first mural and tries to make political mural. She does a great job and it fits nicely on the wall in their apartment.

Hazel practices speeches to build up her charisma skill and get comfortable speaking in front of others. Right now she’s practicing in the house, but she knows there will be a time where she will have to give a speech to a crowd.

Neighbors are really noisy tonight, so Hazel tries to speak to Greta about the noise, but she’s ignored. Eventually the music stops but everyone gets to bed later because of this.

Summer Fest celebration is here! Hazel wants to do a couple of these items where Dawn isn’t wanting to do any of these activities.

Getting closer to Greta and letting her know we can hear her through the walls. Hazel and Greta become friends.

Hazel and Dawn head to the gym to work out and maybe meet some other people. They work out together first before Hazel starts introducing herself to other sims, and promoting her charity.

Since it’s Summer Fest, so Hazel wants to streaks around downtown. Dawn can’t believe she did it and wasn’t embarrassed or anything. Maybe next time Dawn will join in with Hazel.

After streaking, Hazel has adrenaline pumping through her that she asks Dawn to woohoo in the showers at the gym. Dawn nervously says yes and they sneak into the shower together.

Hazel gets to know Marcus Flex better and talks to him about her charity. They become friends and he joins the group of those who are happy to support her charity.

Hazel fixes the power whenever it short circuits. Dawn is nervous around this circuit box. Hazel is hoping she doesn’t get electrocuted.

Judith is asking about the squirrels? What conspiracy is this? We say of course we’re prepared and it gives us a discount on our next bill. Sweet!

Hazel needs to create a mural for work. She’s working from home today and this is her assigned task. Hazel gets a few pointers from Dawn and gets to work.

They were happy with the mural, and the work on the charity that Hazel did. She got a promotion, first of many.

Dawn is busy creating paintings and working on freelancer tasks. She created her first masterpiece and wants to show it off before selling it.

Hazel is working from home again today. She’s needing to do a protest at a nightclub. She invites Johnny Zest to a Karaoke bar to hang out and tell him about the charity she’s part of. Hoping to become friends and get another supporter.

After spending the afternoon with Johnny, Hazel heads over to the nightclub in Windenburg for the protest she needs to do for her career. She starts the protest right outside the club entrance.

Another person joins her protest and Dawn joins too after she finishes her work on her current freelance artist job. The protest did pretty well, but eventually it’s time to pack up and enjoy an evening out with Dawn.

Nightclub dancing for Hazel and Dawn. They had some much fun on the dance floor. They hope to come back again soon.

Before the night ends at the club, the girls spend a little alone time in the closet. A woohoo in the closet and time to head home for bed.

The first week with the Coopers is over, went by a lot quicker than I thought it would. So busy with their careers and going to different neighborhoods for Hazel’s career. Join Hazel and Dawn in the next chapter as we do the 2nd week of Summer.
