Simmers! Welcome back to my post about the Sims 4! Or welcome in general, if this is your first visit! That’s grand, too!
I would have posted this sooner, but life has been chaotic! Promotions, job opportunities, and schedule changes have upended my intent to finish this off!
Allow me to introduce post one:
Post one, I shared pics of the interior and exterior of my take on Barbie’s Dreamhouse. In this post, I’ve changed it up. Way up!
*All images are mine and under my EA username, TheEilof97. You may not use these images without my permission. If you would like to use these images, you must contact me to receive my permission.

I styled Barbie to the best of my ability. For reference for all the characters, I headed to Barbie’s Wiki page.
Yes, Barbie could use a makeover. Where are her eyelashes?! Is that the best I could do? It’s Maxis, all! I don’t want to drown my PC with CC. I did the best I could to make her resemble Barbie . . .as Barbie is in her Dreamhouse cameo. Yeah, right, cameo! You know, Barbie! She’s a star in her films! But Life in the Dreamhouse is a TV show on Netflix . . .
Back on topic: I did style her hair differently for each outfit for each occasion (formal, sports, bedtime, swimwear) since Barbie never has ONE hairstyle!

I wasn’t sure whether to make her younger sister a kid or a teen, so since Skipper is probably closer to the latter, it’s why she looks the same age as Barbie.
After reading Skipper’s profile and discovering her love of music and sports, I styled her clothes to correlate with a music vibe. Again, to the best of my ability.

For Stacie, she is the third sister. I made her a child, though my Sim version of her appears younger than her Wiki profile.
I kept her apparel sporty as I read she is tomboyish.
Onto the CAS, I did use that feature to make all the sisters related. I clicked on it after I created Barbie. I did some tweaking since if you have the feature I am talking about, you can play around with how much or little your next Sim resembles their kin.

For those who aren’t on the up and up and haven’t read my first post, Chelsea had initially been Kelly. I wasn’t aware of this even for the couple of new movies I’ve watched starring Barbie and the gang. In the back of my mind, I must have thought there were five sisters –nope! I recall Kelly from the early Barbie movies, and I’m stickin’ with Kelly!
Kell-Kell is the youngest, and I had to make her a toddler. Her Wiki even states she is between the ages of 3 and 5.
The hair I chose for her was the closest to one she dons in the games and TV movies (all of the ones from the early 2000s). I didn’t want to bother searching for a humongous hairstyle for her since she’s only a tot.
Now for the exciting parts!

Rewinding to Barbie, I thought over what her aspiration might be: totally motherly and one for children. I couldn’t go wrong with the Successful Lineage Aspiration. I’d like to see her marry and start a family of her own. In my game, Ken doesn’t necessarily have to be her beau.

I was able to do this correctly: Barbie, Skipper, Stacie, and Kelly are successfully linked as sisters. I’m not sure what is supposed to go up top here. I’m thinking when Barbie marries, her husband will be added to the family tree.

I have not used all the traits in my game yet. I want to do my best to keep everything as relatable to Barbie as much as possible. I forget why I added domestic, but anyone who is a fan of Barbie knows how confident and self-assured she is. She’s Barbie! She bears a sunny, upbeat personality!

This is more of a newer feature in the game, and I find it quite fun! In CAS, choose all the music, colors, and hobbies your Simmy Sim likes; the same goes for what they don’t like.
Barbie is the quintessential lover of pink. She probably doesn’t like brown. She likes her pop music but not the blues. Her wide variety of hobbies includes rocket science, painting, piano, guitar, fitness, cooking, handiness, and gardening; her dislikes include fishing and mixology.
She’s Barbie! She’s into nearly everything!

I only started playing the game for real about three weeks ago, so that’s why Barb’s game performance is still not up there in performance. We’ll say she’s been on vacay.

Let’s back peddle to Skipper. I bestowed her the music lover trait based on the Christmas movie she was in. Say she goes places with a music career; the business savvy trait will come in handy.

Despite her love of video gaming, she’s leveled up the most with fitness! I do have a gaming system for them!

One for music, it made sense to me for Skipper to OWN that FABULOUSLY WEALTHY Aspiration. After seeing her reach a music goal in that Christmas movie, sure, why not?

Quite the music lover, isn’t she? She does have a liking for technology, as hinted when I mentioned video gaming. The music genres she doesn’t prefer are romance, blues, lullabies, and classics.
Her color choices are red and white, and she’s not someone who likes yellow.
Turning our attention over to Stacie, I like where she is in the skill levels. She may not be the artist in the family, but that’s where she’s leveled up the most.

As a child Sim, their aspirations are going to change. Her Wiki states she’s into sports, and it made sense for me to assign her the Rambunctious Scamp Aspiration. I don’t see this lasting. There’s no room in my Sim yard for a jungle gym!

It’s up to this age where Sims are “handed” cell phones. I think it’s cute that there’s an option to surf the web for kid-friendly websites. It’s funny–my first cell phone did not have that feature.

I had to go with the active trait for Stacie. As far as favorites go, she likes the color blue, pop music, mischief, fitness, cooking, fishing, bugs, and creepy things.
Halloween should be no problem for her.

This came to me as a pleasant surprise: apparently, Stacie has become acquainted with the stuffed unicorn toy in their living room; Stacie is in a relationship with Uni the Unicorn.
I will make sure she makes human friends.

Her school performance could not be any blunter.

Toddlers have it all going. Kelly babbles like everyone is listening to her, so it’s no wonder she’s up there in communication.
I do have stairs in their house, and I’ve seen her use them. What counts in mobility is how far she can walk and how long she can walk without falling on her face. You’re getting there, Kell.
I’m glad she can think!

I’d love it if she could stop the accidents and use her pink potty already! It’s not there to stare at!

Toddler traits are limited. Wiki does state Kelly as sweet and imaginative, so there you go.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I will have a part 3 to this! As to what it will cover and when it will be up, I’m not sure!
Tune in for next time!
