Another update on the Newman family. Heather is a busy career girl and one of the few sims in my neighborhood that actually gets promotions 
And of course she’s also busy with spreading her love around except to her little boy Austin.
I hope you enjoy the update!
The Newman Family – Love is blind
Nanny’s can be wonderful cooks but sometimes they really make a mess of it all.
Lucky for Austin, he learned the emergency number at school and he was able to warn Aurora Vallley’s fire prevention unit in time.
Both the nanny and Austin were relieved the fire was put out in time.
When Heather came home, she had another promotion in the pocket. Of course this needed to be celebrated! Heather decided to call her boy Komei so they could both enjoy dinner together and maybe something more…
But Aurora Valley still is a small town. Even though Heather had been able to keep her relation with Komei quiet, Eric did find out that Heather got promoted. He decided to make a visit to surprise Heather. How fortunate that Eric kept his eyes conveniently closed in thought just as Komei left the Heather’s place.
Since nobodies feelings got hurt, Heather was very happy that Eric came by on his own accord!
While Heather was indulging in the attention she received from her male admirers, poor little Austen had his birthday all by himself. Heather did buy him a birthday cake, but that hardly makes up for the fact that she wasn’t there when he grew up.
Austin grew up into a handsome and sweet boy. He got to pick his own present and that was a cute little puppy named Noodle!

Wow, Heather is a BAD BAD mommy! Poor Austin, he’s cute though, so maybe he’ll get some girls attention to make up for his mother not paying any attention to him at all! Very nice birthday present!
edit: He really did want a puppy. It made a wonderful aspiration boost right before his birthday. I decided to go with an asian foodstuff theme for pet naming

Aww, Austin turned out well, despite everything. I wonder what Aspiration he ended up with. Hopefully not Romance!
edit: hehehe, actually he did turn out a Romance sim. Unfortunately it was what I threw for him at the start of this challenge. Funny thing is that Heather is not into Romance but Popularity. I guess she pretty popular now with some of the male inhabitants of Aurora Valley

I like that you have given us a reason for his romance aspiration–lack of love from his mother. It’s those kind of details that help readers forget the maxis constraints.
I’m really enjoying this blog, especially when so many others are closing down. Keep ‘em coming!
Oh and hahaha, asian foodstuffs, I like it =D
edit: thanks so much for your comment! Maxis constraints are completely lost in my little fantasy world
Besides having an overactive imagination it also helps to have a few hacks installed (ACR makes Heather an even worse mother).
Unfortunately, I’ve accidentally killed Aurora Valley as we know it. But I’ll make it up to everyone with a brand new reincarnation of the hood. Just wait and see!
