Marina Learns a New Trick ....

Its plainly obvious from the off, that Marina is definitely Helen's pet.
And the proof is in her latest bit of training.

In between keeping an eye on things, Helen decided to teach Marina how to 'sit'.

Now as you all know, she's a little slow on hearing commands. Ambrose tried and she just tilted her head to one side and looked dumbly at him.

Helen, in the meantime, decided to take her training VERY seriously.
And Rina was immediately enthralled.

After a couple of hours of intensive 'siiiit!' from Helen, Marina finally got the hang of this command and promptly bounced her butt onto the floor.

A jubilant Helen  rewarded Rina with treats. Along with a "Well done Rina! Good girl!!!"

All in a good day's work, dontcha think?

Makeover Time!!!

Well, since I wasn't happy with the default looks that the game had chosen for each girl, (isn't anybody?) I decided to take them all into CAS for a little makeover.

So, whatcha think?

Firstly Helen.
Before ...

I thought she looked very severe and serious, and we all know she isn't like that at all.

After ....

Since she was probably concieved in Champs Le Sims (I could be totally wrong there - as I usually am), I thought that she'd suit a more 'chic' look, with just the merest of make up to soften that harshness in her face.

Susan.
Before ...

I loved her mop of curly hair, and was distraught at the fact that she'd lost it during her transition.

After ... 

So I brought it back, since she looks seriously cute with it to begin with.

Violet.
Before ...

I know she had lank hair beforehand, but I really didn't like it on her after her transition.

After ...

So why not put a hairband in and take it away from her face?

I didn't have time to give them the 'full' makeover, since the school bus was due any minute. But I will make sure they all have brand new clothes. Or at least Ginny will (hopefully) buy them all new threads.

Oh and whilst I remember....

Here are the new traits of all three girls.

Helen - Genius
Susan - Neat
Violet - Hot Headed
