The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (2025)

This modern villa houses three generations and two families.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (1)


Let me give you a brief who-is-who. Left to right, we have Dennis Kim, an Elder who in TS2 would be a Family Sim. In TS4, he has the aspiration of "Successful Lineage". Next to him in the back row is his daughter Alice, the lady with the black hair. Alice wants to be "Painter Extraordinaire". In front of her you see her mother-in-law, Vivian Lewis. She, too, is an Elder, and her aspiration revolves around having a Big Happy Family. Her son Eric is Alice's husband. He sees himself as a Mansion Baron (a "Fortune Sim", you could say). Alice and Eric's daughter Olivia has inherited her Dad's looks and her Mom's affinity to art: Her aspiration is "Artistic Prodigy".

First things first: Olivia does her first homework athe dining table, helped by her Mom and Dad.

Vivian loves to watch cooking shows on telly.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (4)


Sometimes her son joins her. Nobody here has a job, by the way; the household is wealthy enough, and they don't seem to be needing jobs to achieve their goals.

After a nap, Dennis wakes up hungry and has a burger.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (6)


Eric and Alice love each other very much.

The first homework this morning was already in Olivia's inventory (presumably from the previous week - which I of course never played). This Monday after school, Olivia has to do today's homework.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (8)


She thanks her Dad for his help with a big hug.

Dennis has discovered the Bonsai tree and shapes it on his own initiative.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (10)


Up on the third floor, Alice is at her easel.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (11)


Olivia and her Granddad have a chat before she has to go to bed.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (12)


Vivian starts Tuesday morning with a set of exercises. She knows how important it is to keep fit, even more so at her age.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (13)


Olivia is a rather independent little girl and well capable of getting her own breakfast of cereals, while her parents are still asleep and her Grandma and Granddad are busy elsewhere in the large house.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (14)


It is a beautiful sunny day, and Dennis has lunch with his son-in-law on the patio.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (15)


Alice is pregnant, as Eric has just found out!

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (16)


Maybe it was the big news that made him pay less attention when he was cooking - he sets the kitchen stove on fire (but manages to deal with the flames on his own).

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (17)


Olivia does her homework on the patio today. It seems far too nice a day to be stuck inside the house in the afternoon, after already having spent all morning stuck at school.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (18)


The family members often show wishes about each other, such as "be friendly with..." or "be funny with...". Olivia loves cracking jokes to her Dad.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (19)


On Wednesday, Olivia has breakfast on her own yet again. The adults in this household have very irregular sleeping patterns, and I leave them largely to it, since the little girl does not seem to mind spending the hour before school on her own.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (20)


Eric has some interesting traits: he often wishes to "rummage the trash", and has even done it on his own initiative.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (21)


This looks worse than it is - Alice throws up only once during her pregnancy, if I remember correctly.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (22)


The evening is so mild that Olivia can have her tea out on the patio. Granddad is keeping her company, reading to her.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (23)


Alice, visibly more pregnant than the day before, is too hungry to wait for a properly cooked meal and has a quick microwaved dessert instead.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (24)


It is Thursday morning, and today, Grandma Vivian makes breakfast with Olivia helping.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (25)


It is much nicer having company with one's meals, isn't it?

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (26)


Look at the size of Alice's belly now!

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (27)


Later, Dennis decides to clean the toilets. There are 3 or 4 bathrooms in the house.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (28)


In the evening, Olivia and her parents watch comedy together. Alice is now nearly always hungry.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (29)


Friday morning, Dennis is the first to get up - his bladder wouldn't let him sleep any longer ;-)

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (30)


Today, it is mother and son who enjoy a meal at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (31)


Alice is still asleep when the game informs me that she has just entered labour.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (32)


She manages to get downstairs to her husband, but has to stop every now and then with the pain.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (33)


Meanwhile, Olivia gets off the school bus and announces that she is now an A student.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (34)


Her little sister, Ophelia, is born just before 4.00 this afternoon.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (35)


With the exception of Dennis (who is asleep upstairs), the whole family gathers in the living room to welcome their newest member.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (36)


Eric makes sure Olivia has no reason to be jealous of the new baby.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (37)


Everybody takes turns in cuddling little Ophelia, changing her diaper and generally looking after her.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (38)


It is Saturday, which means Olivia does not have to go to school. Instead, she and her Mom have a cosy breakfast on the patio.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (39)


Later, Grandma Vivian reads to her older granddaughter while the baby is asleep.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (40)


Remember Olivia's aspiration? Part of being an "Artist Prodigy" was to buy her an activity table, where she spends much of the weekend drawing.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (41)


Dennis is a devoted grandfather, as has been obvious all week, not just today (Sunday).

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (42)


I'm afraid not much happened that day; I left the family members largely do what they wanted, but still made sure they fulfilled wishes such as talking to each other. Sunday evening, Ophelia is "aged up" by her Dad. I don't know whether this would have happened autonomously - I simply did not want to end the week at this household without seeing my first growing up from baby to child in TS4. The game told me on Sunday afternoon that it was Ophelia's birthday today, but then nothing happened. So, before the day was over, I had Eric initiate the process.
Ophelia has ended up with the same hair as her sister, but otherwise looks more like her Mom, while Olivia resembles her Dad.

The Sims 4 - The Spencer-Kim-Lewis Family: Week 1 (43)


Nearly there! I have one more household to play in TS4 before I'll get back to New Maximiliania :-)
