Celebrity Psychic

Tina Anthony aspired to be a celebrity psychic, however she died of old age before her wish could be completed.  She will always be remembered for her stylish looks, even in old age.

Descendant of da Vinci

Greg Anthony, quite the loner, enjoyed nothing more than to paint and sculpt all day.  When he wasn't working on a masterpiece, he was in the library learning how to invent things.  Although he never put his inventing skills into practice. . . but that is neither here nor there.

Greg Anthony - Completed Descendant of da Vinci 8/10/14

After his huge artistic success, his cousin, Ryan Anthony, gave him a makeover.  He looked stylish and a bit tortured like any decent artist.  He continued to spend his days chipping away at stone and smearing oil paints onto canvas, and he never made any real friends.  

Looking good!

He drowned in the same pool that his brother, Gary, drowned in just days before.  Rumors have it that Brenna offed him after he started questioning the mysterious circumstances surrounding his twin brother's death, who happened to be an excellent swimmer. Others say this accusation is preposterous, and Brenna was ruined with grief after the death of her husband.

A mysterious drowning. 

Deep Sea Diver

Gary Anthony spent most of his time under the sea scuba diving.  He even got into a couple of fights with sharks! Sometimes he won, and sometimes he lost.

His lifetime wish required him to Master the Diving Skill and to make $40,000 Simoleons from selling Diving Collectibles.  He was able to sell fish and sea shells to get to this amount.  However, items such as gems and simoleons from treasure chests did not count.  This lifetime wish requires lots of surveillance.  At first it was fun exploring underwater, but it became boring very quickly.  I had enough lifetime wish points from another sim to purchase the collection helper, which allowed me to find underwater sea creatures more quickly.  Still, I couldn't wait to be done with this LTW.  It really wasn't that fun.

Gary Anthony - Completed "Deep Sea Diver" on 8/10/14

Since Gary was relatively young (halfway through adult) when he completed his LTW, there was finally room in the household, and I spent so much time with him compared to his siblings, I decided to marry him off!  He met Brenna Hernandez, who happens to be a mermaid (how perfect for someone who loves to dive!).  They had a baby, Penelope, right away.  Then, they were married soon after Penelope was born.

Though it rained, it was still a beautiful ceremony!

Gary Anthony's family tree

Gary went swimming one fine afternoon and drowned.  A police investigation was ordered because of the unusual circumstances surrounding the drowning, mainly that Gary was an accomplished deep sea diver and was an excellent swimmer.

R.I.P Gary Anthony: Son, Husband, Father.  You will be missed. 

His wife, Brenna was naturally the first suspect.  At first the police found nothing to support a motive, until this photo surfaced.  Rumors spread over social media like wildfire that Brenna found out about Gary's wild bachelor party and killed him in a jealous rage.

After weeks of investigation, the police found no evidence of foul play, declaring Brenna innocent.  Clearing her tarnished name was another story, and she was forced to move to a new town with her daughter Penelope, her husband's cousin, Ryan, and Ryan's husband, Sean.

Chess Legend

She's never had a job in her life because she is addicted to the game . . . the game of chess that is.  Tanya Anthony sits around playing chess all day.  By using the phone to call up "The Next Ranked Chess Opponent" and winning against her opponents, she became a Chess Legend!

There's not much to say about Tanya because there's not much to know.  Since her lifetime wish required little surveillance -- unlike the Deep Sea Diver lifetime wish -- she was often on auto-pilot.  Now, she is old and needs to look for a new hair stylist.

  

Celebrated 5 Star Chef

Tim Anthony is always in the kitchen making something yummy to eat.  And who wouldn't want to be in this kitchen?  It is equipped with cool gadgets such as a Baker's Station and the Chun Co. Teppanyaki Grill.

His lifetime wish required him to become a 5-Star Chef, which is reached by reaching level 10 of the culinary career.

Tim Anthony completed "Celebrated 5-Star Chef" on 8/9/2014 and ate some Ambrosia to celebrate.

Tim ate Ambrosia, which requires reading the recipe and the ingredients life fruit and a death fish.  After eating this, he became younger.  However, I decided to age him with a cake at the same time his triplet siblings aged, so today he is an old man.  Here is a look at the Anthony family tree today.  Both Wade Jr. and Tana Anthony are gone now, and their children are getting up there in age!

Since I was attempting to finish six lifetime wishes at once (the five siblings above and their cousin, Ryan Anthony), plus I had a full household, I had to wait until Tana and Elizabeth died before I could have another Sim move in and have a child (since I'm keeping the household together).  Sadly, this is the end of the genetic line for Tim Anthony.  

Bottomless Nectar Cellar

Elizabeth Anthony liked to drink.  Who could blame her?  After all, her mother, Margie, was a Master Mixologist and her family owned a bar.  Not to mention, her father, Henry, was always thinking he was cool and blogging 24/7 even when all he could manage to blog about was what he had for breakfast.  That alone is enough to drive anyone to the bottle, but what's worse is that he would sometimes throw bizarre protests, like a hunger strike against astronauts.  So, when Elizabeth grew up she wanted nothing more than to own a lot of booze. . . er, I mean, nectar.

This lifetime wish requires you to have a collection of at least 50 nectar bottles in your nectar cellar worth §50,000.  This was a pretty straightforward lifetime wish, and it was easy to complete.  One thing to note: You must build a basement for your nectar cellar, which was something I didn't realize until I had bought all the wine.

The Tinkerer

Margie Russ liked to fix things and she liked logic.  Naturally, she wanted to become "The Tinkerer" for her lifetime wish.  She joined the Anthony household when she married Henry Anthony.  They met later in life, and she just had a couple of days to produce an offspring before old age set in.  They had one son, Ryan.

Margie (Russ) Anthony completed "The Tinkerer" 7/30/14

Henry worked a lot as a Superstar Athlete, and this worked out well because Margie liked to spend long hours playing chess and upgrading appliances.  Sometimes she'd be in the library for hours reading books on Handiness and Logic so that she could gain more and more skill.  Everyone knows that you gain skills faster in the library (why else would college libraries be packed during finals week).
