"It was a beautiful wedding, Leanne, don't you think?"
"Oh yeah, weddings at the park are extra cool."
"Almost as beautiful as you!"
Ang is inspired.
"That's really sweet of you, Ang."
"You know what would be sweeter?"
"Hmmmmmm, it would be pretty sweet if I didn't already have a boyfriend."
Lorien: "What's everybody bitching about?"
Kid in Tux: "I cannot believe Leanne has sullied this lovely wedding with her whoring around."
Damn man, they haven't even kissed yet.
Everyone is going to have to put their indignation on hold for bit.
Seeing as Eveline has decided to one-up Ang in the thunder-stealing department by choosing this exact moment to die.
"Crap, I really gotta pee, too."
The entire party ground to a halt in order to
"Merci!"
*sigh* Moving on.
"I'm so sorry about your old aunt, Ang. What an awful thing to have happen at the wedding!"
"Eh, she's not really my aunt. She's an exchange student from France that never went home."
Death cannot come between the heir and his wish!
Anyway, welcome back to the Be Careful What You Wish For challenge! This is it! The final chapter! The 18th hole! Bottom of the 9th! Ang is the heir for generation ten, and as soon as either he or his brother, Aegnor, get their lifetime wish, the game is over. Ang wishes to be a dynamic dna profiler, and Aegnor wants to be a 5 star celebrity.
Last chapter saw both Tanika and Lorien abuse their "risky woohoo" privileges. Tanika and Tirion had little Rivendell, who is probably still lying on the pavement somewhere.
"Daddy and Mommy got married, sweetie!! What do you think?"
Riv: *barfs all over her dad*
Nevermind, Tirion's got her.
Tirion and Tanika just got married at the Spring Festival. It's their Valentine's Day equivalent or some such nonsense. I'm letting Tirion stay so he can make us at least one simbot, and he's still my favorite.
And just in case a wedding, busting up a teenage love affair, and the death of an old, adopted family member weren't enough excitement for one day,
Meet the final baby of Generation 10, Orlando Valinor. Named after exactly who you think.
Here's Orlando as he exited the hospital.............
And here he is on the hospital sidewalk. Oh yeah, bitches, the skin color changing glitch only lulled me into a false sense of security with the game file change. It's back.
He's an evil little guy who won't ever want to leave the house.
It's easier to tell from this photo that Orli got more than skin color from his mother.
"I DID NOT!!!"
"Okay, I totally did. I didn't tell you because I thought I'd get in trouble."
"*cough cough* Something is burning!!"
It's YOU!! Get in the shower!!
He survived, and we finally get another time machine! The one Finrod made didn't come out of the Laptop Crash of 2016 alive.
And we're safe to travel to the past with no fear of bastard children hitching a ride as the house is full.
*Hours later*
So, what happened?
"Fuck all, but look!! I'm married!!"
"That's great, Dad, but next time, bring me one of those caveman dolls. I like those!!"
Rivendell is a toddler who illustrates just how alike her parents look.
"Please tell me this thing is not my birthday present."
Ang becomes a young adult with only his parents, uncle, and his brother's creepy-skinny boyfriend cheering him on.
And by "cheering" I mean Rufus being a complete ass.
LOL!! Nice hair!!
Ang is now an excitable genius, who loves to find gems, insects, and seeds out in the wilds of Twinbrook, loves cats, and I gave him "workaholic" so he'll work hard at the police department and like it!
"What the heck is going on downstairs?"
It's officially a party.
"IT'S SO FLUFFY!!! I'm taking it home with me!!"
So long, Merlin. It's been ......................................................... pretty much a non-event.
"So, did you get any more celebrity stars?"
"No. I can't believe how slow it's going. I get my picture taken everywhere. People spread rumors about me. But I still can't get to two stars. This is taking forever!"
"Well I'm excited to start working tomorrow. I've been studying hard and practicing painting. I really want to show the police chief what I can do."
"Good luck!"
Seriously no idea why he got this. I'm not even sure he was at the festival when this popped up.
Here it is, along with the picture he got with Ang their first day at the Spring Festival.
Of course Ang had to fill the spot left empty by Merlin's death. Meet Gil Galad, a playful, quiet, piggy elder. I'm not positive, but this may be all you ever see of him.
Orlando grew up to be toddler who looks a lot like his dad, with his mom's coloring and wings.
"So long, Twinbrook!!"
"Oh my god! I didn't even know moles came that big! I am NEVER doing that again."
"I'm so happy these people have a snowcone machine! Otherwise I might starve to death, camping out in their yard, hoping for a picture of their 1-star celebrity son!"
"You are a giant pain in the ass!!"
"AAAHHHH!! I'm sorry! Really!! Well, not sorry enough to leave, but still!!"
Apparently this is how Lorien rollerskates.
"What? You zoom around the rink in circles. Easy-peasy!!"
"Oh no, puppy!! Agna gonna die!!!"
AEGNOR!!! What the hell?!?
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
"So, we're done then?"
"IT BURNS!!!"
You're on fire?? Are you fucking kidding me??
"PUT IT OUT!!! PUT IT OUT!!!!"
Don't just stand there, get in the shower!!
"THERE IS NO SHOWER!!"
Dammit! We're at the park with no shower, no pool, he'll never make home even if he'd actually go.
"Please don't let me die!!"
Oh for pete's sake! Use the shower-in-a-can you're mother gave you!
"I can't pick it up!!"
She put another one in your inventory! Hurry!!
"I got it!!" *puts his stupid ass out*
"Oh thank god! That was close!"
"Glad to know that I haven't been hauling these things around my entire life for nothing."
"I want to go home."
That's probably best.
Ang: "So, Audra, have you ever committed any crimes?"
"No, but there was certainly a time I wanted to."
"Really? Tell me about it."
"Well, it was a really long time ago."
"I was having my first baby. I wasn't living with the father and I couldn't afford to have my own place, so I lived with my parents and my little sister, Greta. I went into labor on the sidewalk in front of their house!"
"Greta stood there and screamed, but no one came to help me! It was so weird! I knew dad was home, what was he doing? Didn't he hear me? Then I looked and saw him on the porch, with HER."
"He was talking to her like nothing else was happening! Then they went inside together, showing no sign that they'd even seen me at all. I wanted to go in after them, but I was in so much pain, I couldn't move."
"So I had the baby by myself, on the sidewalk! It was so awful! Mom came rushing home but she just missed my son's birth. Greta and I went into the house. I took care of my son while she looked for Dad. We were both so mad!"
"And you know what Greta saw? Dad, in the bedroom, in his underwear, with THAT WOMAN on the bed!! Greta didn't understand what had happened, but I sure did. They WOOHOOED!!"
"So instead of helping me, my own father chose to cheat on my mother, in their own home, in their own bed, with Greta and I both home!! I wanted to kill them both, but I didn't."
"Wow! Talk about disrespectful!! I'm so sorry that happened to you. What happened to the other woman?"
"Heh-heh. Mom took care of her."
"By the time Mom finished with her, she ran away as fast as she could. Bitch crawled back one more time,"
"Amazing! I'm glad she got what was coming to her. I hope she didn't do this to anyone else. What was her name? Do you remember?"
"Let's see .......... she was from this family that was new to our town. Figures, right? Um ........ Valinor!! That's it. Bree Valinor. Absolute trash."
"Really? That's ......... um ..................... well .................... I've got to go. I think there's an emergency I need to respond to. Well, thanks for your time, Audra!!"
"Anytime! Who are you, again?"
"Oh, uh, Morel. Officer Morel."
"Okay! Nice to meet you!"
That questioning was more than Ang bargained for.
Aegnor gets his young adult birthday party at the festival park, cause apparently that's what we do these days. It was wild, I tell you what.
Ang read an opportunity book for work.
People tried out the small pool I made so no one else goes up in flames in the summer time.
"I don't like it!"
"Well, Aegnor, maybe if you didn't wear your full spacesuit in the pool. That has got to be heavy!"
"It keeps the water away!"
Riv played in the little toddler section I put down. They brought Orli to the party but he almost immediately poofed home, where he's alone, which isn't a problem for the game it seems. It was all very weird as my active toddlers almost never poof. I'm thinking he glitched.
A lot of people came to cheer this time. Maybe because Aegnor is now a multi-star celeb.
Ang was not happy.
This popped up while they were all cheering. No idea what on earth prompted it, but heaven forbid we have a drama free party.
I checked Leanne's friend list and she does have a romantic interest. I'm telling you, these sims get around when I'm not looking.
Not too bad, but I can do better.
So in addition to being an insane, good, schmoozer who likes to take pictures, I chose irresistible for Aegnor because I've got it in my head that it will help him get celebrity points. Flawless logic.
Within seconds, everyone is tripping over themselves to talk to him, including his own mother.
"Wow, honey! You blew those candles out like a pro! I'm really impressed!"
"Um, thanks Mom, I guess."
"Hello? This is he. ............................ Oh, hi Eliza, what's up? .............. You want me to meet you where?"
"Um, are you asking me out on a date? Aren't we second cousins or something? And aren't you still in high school?"
The answers are; 1) Something like that, and 2) Yes, yes she is. Okay, did something get messed up in Woohooer, because I'm positive I have adult-teen relationships turned off.
I do have it turned off. What the heck, game? Stop being gross!
"Ah, what the heck? Sure, I'll meet you there in a few minutes."
ANGNOR!!!
"What? The 'accuse of cheating' action may have been knocked out of my queue by the birthday cake, but that in no way negates the fact that Leanne is a 'ho."
But, Eliza is your mother's, cousin's child, she has a boyfriend, AND SHE'S A GODDAMN TEENAGER!! You're a police officer, Ang!! What the hell's wrong with you???
"Oh for crying out loud, it's just a little get together. Nothing's going to happen. We don't even have romantic options!"
"So, Eliza, you know nothing can happen between us, right? We're just hanging out, for fun?"
"*giggle* Of course I know that, silly! You're old! But you just won me twenty simoleons, so thanks!"
"You're welc ... what? Twenty simoleons? How?"
"*giggle* Oh, some of my friends bet me that I couldn't get you to go out with me. One of them, her sister was friends with Leanne in school and said that Leanne likes to play the field. So they said they'd give me twenty simoleons to get you to play the field. It seemed like a good idea at the time."
"Oh. I see. Well, I better be going. Enjoy your cash."
"I will! Bye!!"
LOL!!! Loser.
"YES!! I did it! You're here!!"
"I MAKE LIFE!! I AM A GOD!!!"
"Uh, where did it go?"
Bummer. I was hoping to at least be able to put it in town, but no go.
*sniff sniff* "He caught himself on fire again, didn't he?"
"He did, Mama."
"Sweetie, don't grow up to be like your Dad."
"Otay, Mama."
Riv is cute but I have no idea what her new trait is because I didn't record it because I IZ AWSUM SIMMER!!!
"I'm lucky to have my picture taken at all, aren't I?"
Guilty.
"Hi! I'm Officer Valinor. You're new in town, aren't you?"
"Actually, I'm not. And I'm very glad to see you, I have a crime to report."
"Okay, I'm all ears."
"Well I'm sure you don't recognize me, but up until this morning I was James Maroon-Simself."
"I came here to the arcade to play a few video games, maybe get in some gnubb. I'm standing around, minding my own business, when this strange man in what looks like a red karate outfit comes in and starts staring at me."
"Then, without so much as a single word, he throws a glass bottle on the ground, breaking it at my feet!"
"Next thing I know the room fills with smoke! I can't see a thing! My eyes are watering, I'm coughing, it was awful!"
"Then the smoke clears and that guy is still standing there. Then he says the weirdest thing! He says, 'Huh, that both worked and didn't work. Rats!!', and then the bastard walks away without another word. At first I thought it was just a smoke bomb. I felt fine, and there didn't seem to be any lingering effect from the smoke. But then I looked down at myself."
"My legs are gone!! My arms are gone! I ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. MY WHOLE BODY IS GONE!!!! I HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO SOME KIND OF ROBOT, Officer!! I demand that you find that freak and bring him to justice!! I demand compensation!"
"I see. This 'freak' in the red karate suit, can you describe him a little more?"
"Yes. He was younger, maybe in his late 20s, early 30s, light brown skin, black hair in a kind of thick mohawk style, and he had these creepy pink/purple eyes!! He's crazy, I tell you! Absolutely crazy!!"
"And you didn't get his name?"
"No! Aside from the whole it-worked-but-didn't thing, he said nothing!"
"Well, Mr. Maroon-Simself, I will go down to the station and file a report on your behalf and start looking for this guy. We'll keep you in the loop, and if you think of anything else, don't hesitate to call."
"Thank you, Officer. I really do appreciate it."
Another very enlightening questioning.
So yeah, I had Lorien make Tirion a simbot converter elixir to try. It didn't add to his lifetime wish count. I imagine he'd have to make the elixir himself. We'll keep looking for pink diamonds, but seeing as he's not the heir, nor a member of the tenth generation, I don't know how much work I can put into this LTW.
"Uh, I plead the Fifth."
"Of course you do."
"You look really familiar. Are you Leanne? My brother's girlfriend?"
"Yes, it's me, Aegnor. Hi."
"ZOMG!! IT'S AEGNOR VALINOR!! TWO STAR CELEBRITY!!"
"So are you and Ang still seeing each other, or?"
"*sigh* I think so. We've both been really busy with our careers, so it probably doesn't seem like it."
"You know, that reminds me, I have a boyfriend that I haven't seen much of."
It's a little rough in the relationship department. Because I kept Tirion and Tanika in the house, there's no more empty slots. And I've been really focused on skilling Ang, and having Aegnor work on his charisma and being seen around town. So they've been shafted, spouse-wise, thus far.
"Fresh air, ew."
You know you're a celebrity when the paps start dying at your parties.
"So is this one staying or going to the graveyard."
Pascal: "Of course he's going to the graveyard! Do you think we want his ghost here, continuing to take unauthorized pictures forever?"
"Oh, he doesn't live here?"
"No, it just seemed like he did."
Good riddance.
"Yaaassss!! I love parties!!"
Pascal: "What? No cake?"
Aegnor: "Oh, it's your birthday? Happy Birthday, Dad!"
Pascal:
It's getting a little gnomey around here.
"There are no pictures of my childhood, but at least I get a party."
I did record her traits this time. She's an athletic, genius, light-sleeper who's easily impressed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"You and Tirion are both trying to kill me."
You have death flowers, you'll be fine.
Lorien has the "gatherer" trait, so I got the bright idea of making her use the miner to find pink diamonds. She not only succeeded,
she succeeded twice!
Tirion gets his lifetime wish! I honestly didn't think he'd make it.
"LOL!! What the shit is this crazy motherfucker wearing??"
"Sooo, we're moving?"
Yup.
Right across the street. I didn't want him too far away.
I might as well have not bothered because the next day, before Ang could even move Leanne in, this happened.
I think Aegnor only made it to 3 stars.
We did it!!
Thanks everybody!!
