Spoiler:
The element collection finally gets completed! That was one of the three collections I aimed to finish this generation and the only one that did
Lyra is now a bear as well but she can still work on her skills just like usual.
I forgot to mention that Helios got a job in the fast food sector, and Rhiannon went into retail. Also, Aunt Kailyn got married and is finally pregnant, while Galaxy's twins (Cosima and Luna) aged into toddler and they look identical apart from eye colour. (To give an indication of how far into the family I am now, one of these twins just died of old age! That's far behind I am in documenting everything!).
Nova topped the Space Ranger career!! Yay!
Rhiannon tries to cook and fails. She's probably not impressed by her father trying to help either.
Winterfest happened! The family was invited around and this is the first time we've seen the founder, Aspen, as an elder.
Presents first, and then birthdays. Jupiter aged up with the Cat Lover trait and the Bestselling Author aspiration, and he will be skilling on writing. Lyra aged up with the Romantic trait and the Super Parent aspiration (which I may have possibly given her as I'm pretty sure by this stage, I knew she was going to be the heir). She will be skilling charisma and robotics, as the next heir is going to be an engineer.
Then family got invited around for a Winterfest party. (not sure who the bear is in the first pic - it would pretty much have to be Andromeda. That would make all the girls in the family have gone through the bear phase in one generation!). You can also see that Kailyn is pregnant.
Everyone got a present from Father Winter but I'll only show two to save space.
Nova completed the Bodybuilder aspiration, so she'll be around for a while! (by my calculations, she ended up living for 146 days, well into gen 5's reign! The average age span I've got on is 118 days, I think.)
Then Nova got abducted by aliens for the fifth and final time.
Pre-Prom party! Lyra got a crush on David Jeong (with light blue hair) but got along better with Hector Holland (on her other side).
Prom! Rhiannon was the Jester and Lyra was Prom Royalty. But if I remember correctly, there weren't too many others at prom so that made it a small group to pick from
Back in time for New Year's Eve!
And the next day, we get our final set of teens! Mars became a Genius with the Inner Peace aspiration. Andromeda got Creative and the Soulmate aspiration, and got a job as a lifeguard.
So I knew around this time that Lyra would definitely be the heir. She will have to move back to Oasis Springs and become an engineer, marry a human sim, have a human-looking child (that rule has now been changed because alien genetics have changed since the challenge began), have a human best friend and build the Close Encounters Academy. So there will only be one more update for this generation before Lyra takes over!
