Love is a Riddle - Chapter 16

Because the Riddles are so famous someone sent them a hot tub! I sell most of the stuff they get (how many fridges does one family need?!) but let them keep this one.

Leisure Day has arrived, and Liz has taken it to the extreme by not even getting dressed. Whoever's job it is to clean up the leaf piles has also been slacking, so I went on a "delete it" spree.

These three kids wanted to compete in the hot dog eating contest and man was it a pain! They kept getting sidetracked by people wanting their picture or autograph, and then Tom had to sign everyone back up. But they all finally got there, even if Tom was pulled away by paparazzi seconds after this pic was taken. Salazar won.

Here is the new family photo with Liz still in her underwear. This is the third summer since Tom was created!


Salazar decided to become a ballerino and work on his dancing skills.

Yes, yes she does!

Tom peeked into Nymphadora's relationship panel and saw that Kyle is a muggle. Wanting the best for his daughter he got to work on his alchemy skill so he could turn Kyle into a proper wizard.

This has been happening around the house a lot!
"Mom, you are so ignorant! I'm a nerd so I'm smarter than you even though you're a nerd too!"
"Don't talk to me that way, young lady!" *person person minus minus*

Severus sculpted a... wooden square? Turns out it was a nectar rack facing backwards.

I finally downloaded pose player! I don't plan to use them in this legacy other than for heir vote pictures, but wanted to play around with them a bit.

Now this is a bit more like Tom, don't you think?

Prom was fast approaching and Tom still hadn't discovered the recipe for Bottled Witches' Brew but luckily they had one at the alchemy shop down the street.

While there he helped himself to some tasty honey in case he needed it for a potion later.

This, my friends, is Kyle Nix. No idea why he's wearing a bicycle helmet to the prom.

And just like that, he was made into a witch! Now he can solve his hunger problems by conjuring an apple. Also they got a new cow plant since the old one died.


Not much prom spam with only one teen to attend this one.

Before you think Kyle changed out of his helmet before prom, here is proof that he didn't.

Oh no, Severus. I see what you're doing and we will not have laundry in this house! You idiots are enough trouble without clothing piles everywhere. Plus who wants a laundry hamper made out of clay?!

Tom maxed his third skill (+10 points) and with it completed his LTW (+40 points)!


Severus looks awfully sneaky about his mac and cheese...

Well, I've learned my lesson! People do not like the gem cutting machine even though it's two floors below their bedrooms. That must be one loud machine.

Nymphadora gets a turn with the aliens.

I'm not sure ghosts make the best taste testers. If Severus had poisoned it or something she wouldn't exactly die again. According to her the mac and cheese was normal quality and fit for consumption, although it could use a bit more salt.

Also she was dying for Salazar's autograph. 

Our final YA birthday! All the kids are officially grown up. She randomly rolled the workaholic trait and chose the Perfect Mind, Perfect Body LTW. I will post the heir vote over the next few days and it will remain open until Severus's adult birthday.


I used her free YA action to get a job with the DMLE regular, boring, human law enforcement.

Love is a Riddle - Chapter 15

The day after her birthday Bellatrix thought it would be a good idea to rant at the fridge about something. Down with freezer burn!

I think they both have 9 skill points in logic now!

Yup, another alien abduction. Poor Salazar.

This dog randomly ran around the house for a while. No Tom, I don't know how he got in either!

Love Day portrait and updated wall of family photos. I don't know why Bellatrix isn't in this one. I selected her to be included and didn't notice she wasn't in it until just now. She probably got asked for an autograph or something on the way there and it canceled everything in her queue. I hate how it does that.


Salazar's birthday was next. He randomly rolled the Natural Born Performer trait and I gave him the Master Magician LTW.

He doesn't know why he always ages up with pigtails either.

Not long after he aged up almost all the guests started laughing at him. =(

I didn't really spend much time on his look, I just wanted to get rid of those darn pigtails!

I used his free adult action to get a job in the fortune teller career. Education would be more in character but I didn't really want two kids in education.

'Dora is athletic so she likes to work out in front on the telly. She got an opportunity to work out for four hours but stopped after 3.82 hours and didn't complete it.

Salazar doesn't understand what's so great about this chess business. Maybe it would be more fun if you played against someone?

Graduation time! Weird, Bellatrix didn't get voted as anything.


Never played with the stuff as a child, but now that he's an adult Severus can't get enough of the sandbox. 

Bellatrix needs the athletic skill for her career but hasn't shown any interest in it. Thankfully Tom can train people. I have no idea why she's wearing leggings under a swimsuit. That is not the athletic wear I chose for her!

I'm thinking maybe getting a coffee machine wasn't a great idea. Can you see out the window, Salazar? That's daylight! Which means you should be in bed sleeping rather than trying to pull an all nighter. 

Logic for every body!

This paparazzi passed out in front of the door. I was worried she might make everyone route fail trying to leave the house but they were able to get around her.

Liz was supposed to hold a vaccination clinic at the festival grounds, but mostly just stood around. These are the people she was supposed to vaccinate.

Yay all four kids got on the honor roll at least once! (+5 points)

It looks like we are having a gnome convention.

One day Salazar didn't come home right after work. I found him cleaning up these old leaf piles. In summer. You'd think they would go away on their own at some point. 

Liz cast a love spell on Severus and he didn't seem too happy about it! I don't think it had an affect though, he didn't get any new love interests or anything.

Nymphadora was called away from making mac and cheese to be abducted. I'm so glad I got the fireproof lifetime reward! She was able to continue cooking it when she got back and it wasn't even burnt. 

Salazar got the guitar out again and put on a concert for the gnomes.
