Rock out, Alty!
I don't remember why I took this picture of Feanor at the park. The glitched out picnic tables, maybe? Hey, free food!
"Hi Luthien! I know we haven't seen each other for awhile but I was wondering, do you still have that horse, Trooper?"
"Ugh, yes. We wouldn't if it were up to me, but Alvaro loves the damn thing. Why?"
*sigh*
Socks: "Hi Finny! How are you? I've missed you! Have you come to play red dot with me?"
Trooper: "Move it, cat, before I back my ass right over you. He's here to see me!"
"Hi Trooper, remember me?"
"Yeah, yeah, just give me the carrots."
So after much farting around, the option to "train" Trooper never came up, even after the two became good friends. It was getting dark so I sent Finny home.
He worked on inventing instead, making his first toy.
"Can I cook it and eat it?"
No.
Next day,
Feanor, why aren't you at school?
"It's not like anybody gives a shit."
YOU give a shit. You have wishes to earn an A, and get on the honor roll! Get going!!
"Pfffft, whatever."
Oh hell no. I'll take the penalty. I'm not dealing with dozens of stupid writing wishes for the rest of his life, when it has NOTHING to do with his LTW.
Alright, back to Finny's wish to train Trooper. I thought that the problem might be that there was no "horse stuff", not at Luthien's house, not in all of Sunset Valley in fact. So I deleted something and made a small training lot for horses, just to deal with this stupid wish.
There's not much to it.
No options. I don't know what to do and googling was fruitless. They are good friends. All I can come up with is Trooper has to live in Finny's household to make it work. Then why roll the wish? I don't get this game. I deleted the wish without penalty.
Only to have it replaced with this one. I'm really starting to hate horses.
"I love flowers, Trooper! Don't you?"
"Why are you here?"
What the crap, Fin?
"It's Finny's portrait, just like you asked!"
It's shit!
"Deal with it, I'm not painting it again."
It's Finny's birthday, anyway.
"Hey Trooper! Glad you could make it!"
"I don't care if I have a girlfriend, I wish to be able to easily talk to girls!"
"That's kind of wasteful, Finny. You should wish to save the Earth, or at least Sunset Valley."
"Come on, Finny, hurry up! I'm about to pop and I want some cake!!"
"Suave, yes?"
Well. That's.......a look.
"Where is the horse cake? I can't eat this shit."
Oh for fuck's sake, hold on.
There. How's that?
"Much nicer than what I have at home. Can I live here again?"
Back to Finny. He rolled "flirty" for his trait, and I gave him a makeover. I actually liked his outfit, so I kept it, save for changing some color here and there to his favorite, white.
Let's give this a go. I have managed to top this career before, so there's hope.
If he survives inventing, that is.
"Look! It's an egg! Can I go to bed now?"
Shower first.
First night on the job! How's it going?
"Awesome! This uniform is gross but other than that, I love it!!"
Glad to hear it.
"Hey Alvaro, what's up?"
"You know what's up. You invited Trooper over, so here he is."
"Where?"
"Right HERE! I'm holding his reins you idiot!"
"Um, dude? I don't see him. Are you okay?"
"*sigh* Look, do you want to be best friends with this horse or not?"
Trooper: "'Sup, peeps? Does this place still have hay?"
Alvaro: "Sure, IN THEIR HEADS!!"
Finny: "I swear he wasn't there a second ago, AND he's NOT wearing a bridle!"
Trooper: "Heh heh, I is sneaky horse!"
Just get socializing please. I'm so friggin' over the horse wishes.
And thankfully that miner wish was worth much points, so I didn't have to lock in another damn horse wish.
Sweet! We've got to get this chick moved in. He'll be there!
Georgina: "Psyche!! I ain't that easy! Like I'd throw a party when I could be raiding the mausoleum!"
Like she's not gonna come running the moment Finny invites her ass over.
Dawwwwww! Wittle Feanor's got a crush!
"I hate my life."
"Hi Georgina! I'm so glad you came over! I'm a young adult now, too. I got a job and everything! I'm a ghost hunter!"
"A what?"
"See? I've got this big, laser-vacuum thing that sucks up the ghosts and stores them for me."
"Okay, THAT is cool!!"
"So Georgina, we've been going together for awhile, we're both grown up now, you wanna move in with me?"
"Wellll...."
"I don't think Dad's gonna be around much longer, if that helps."
"Sure, why the hell not?"
Here's the new girl. A dramatic, evil genius. This should be fun.
She may or may not get this lifetime wish. It's possible.
Yay! Cousins!!
"I have an idea, Finny. You and Georgina move out with Dad and I get the house all to myself."
"Not happening and you know it, dude. What's going on with you and that Ruth girl? I thought you liked her?"
"Oh leave me alone, I'm workin' on it."
"I'm already done with this conversation. Now could you move over a hair? I'm gonna watch tv."
Skipping this opportunity as it's the one that always glitches (plays the "completed opportunity" music on a loop while not actually completing the opportunity). No thanks.
Meet Venkman, the inventing gnome! First gnome of the game.
Of course it comes with a price.
"Again!! I JUST showered!"
More cousins!!
So Finny still has that "Pet A Wild Horse" wish that he rolled as a teen. It's such a time suck that I haven't been working on it.
"Come on, horsie, I just want to be friends so I can pet you."
The horse had other ideas.
"I've heard about you, man. We wild horses talk to each other. No way are you petting me."
"But, but I'm BFFs with a horse now! You should talk to my buddy Trooper!"
"*snicker* You think I care what some stupid pony pet has to say? Those brainwashed, helpless little colts don't know the first thing about life in the wild."
Four sim hours of
"Apple?"
"Ooooo, I do love apples!"
"But YOU on the other foot, I can't stand. I'll be taking off for parts unknown, again. See ya'!"
I deleted the wish. I'd rather take the penalty than have to chase anymore damn horses around town.
Finny has to go to work anyway, like a boss!
"You're getting my good side, right? I'm gonna make this my new Facebook cover photo."
"I heard you. I know that. This wouldn't be any fun if the pool were private now would it?"
Sadly, Finny won't be having fun for long.
When the camera got jerked back to the house, I knew why.
"But .... I'm winning!!"
Not anymore.
Feanor: "I thought this was going to be something interesting. Seeing as it's not, I'll be in bed."
Georgina: "BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!! I KNEW I was going to like living here. The house where yard games can KILL you!! I almost feel the cockles of my stone cold heart warming."
Grim: "Look lady, I appreciate your spirit and support but you're in my way. I'm the evil genius here tonight, so step aside!"
Georgina: "NEVER!! I want a front row seat to this show!"
Grim: "I said MOVE IT!!!"
Georgina: loses an eye and half her face
Feanor: "On second thought, this may be worth sticking around for."
I am enjoying all the familial love the death of our founder has wrought.
Grim: "No worries, freaky alien thing...."
Fin: "I'm an elf."
Grim: "Same difference. Anyway, I am to understand that you will be remaining here in the yard, so you are free to continue to play gnubb and break the hot tub to your heart's content."
Fin: "Sa-WEET!!"
Georgina: "Break the hot tub? WHAT?? I LOVE that thing!"
"Nooooo, you can't come back and break the hot tub! I'M the evil one around here, not you!!"
"Come on, cut the rest of her face off!!"
Yeah, y'all are a little scary. Go to bed, Feanor.
"So, now that Dad's dead, who gets his bedroom?"
"That'd be Georgina and me, seeing as we need the double bed."
"*sigh* Such bullshit."
I was too lazy to make another bedroom, so Finny and Georgina have been shacking it up Ward and June Cleaver style (that's two single beds, for the uninitiated) in Feanor's room.
Why are they playing chess in the middle of the night?
"Awesome! Can we buy a bigger house?"
Not yet.
Meet Egon, our second invention gnome.
"Don't cross the streams."
Not a problem.
"Hi Ruthie! Thanks for meeting me."
"I'm glad to, Feanor. I've been hoping you'd call me!"
First kiss - acheived! She also became his girlfriend. WTG, Feanor! Now I can go back to ignoring you.
Not too shabby.
Especially considering that assholes like this sometimes keep him from completing jobs.
"Youuuuu cannnn't reeeeeeeeach meeeeee!"
"Hi Shawanda! I've been looking for you."
"Really? What for? Is it about that ad I put on Craigslist? Cause I retracted that."
"Um, no."
It's 2015, Shawanda. Just hop on the fucking train, it's gonna run you over one way or the other anyway.
"The thing is, Shawanda, you carry a cell phone and a laptop up your ass just like all the other non-active sims. So drop the charade and just embrace the technology that you already can't live without, mmmkay?"
"*giggle* Okay hot alien guy ...."
"I'm an elf."
"Whatever. So, do you wanna go get a drink or something? My baby's not due for another day!"
"I gotta go."
Finny picked up his first award! Shiny!
I don't know what's worse, Feanor competing with no one.
Or losing to no one.
"Why do you even look at me at all??"
I'm going to go with losing.
"You suck."
"Hey Georgie, want to get started on our own little family without the simgod's permission?"
"Sure! Sounds fun!"
They autonomously woohooed, which is risky in my game. The risk is only 5% so I wasn't concerned.
*sigh* Not that it matters terribly, I suppose.
"It could just be those pancakes that have been in the fridge forever."
It could be.
But not likely. Generation three is on the horizon!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. At some point.
Feanor is getting really annoyed with his chess opponents.
"You don't think I saw you take that queen out of your pocket? You are as horrible a cheater as you are a chess player!"
"Hey, I beat you fair and square, you asswipe! I didn't take anything out of my pockets!"
"Your mother is a LLAMA!!"
"Oh YEAH! Well yours is an ALPACA!!"
"HA!! I don't HAVE a mother, you dumbass!!"
Look who showed! That didn't take long.
"Ahhhhh, I missed this hot tub."
He also missed screwing with his kids.
"You know, Dad, I get enough shit from the living sims around here."
"Sorry, Finny. Dad just needed to relax somewhere dry for a moment."
"Don't you have a game to play in the yard?"
Woot woot!! Time machine, y'all!!
Caveman gnomes, funky outfits, and bastard children, here we come!!
"So now that you're pregnant, do you want a rock? We can afford a pretty big one. Especially now that I invented the miner."
"Hells yeah!!"
Fin's wish poofed before I could lock it in, but I got a screen shot as proof that he really did want to marry her.
Finny'll have to pick nice, romantic spot to propose.
"Hahahahahaha!! No. And Fuck You. But thanks for the confidence boost."
Finny can hunt poltergeists now. He's moving on up!
"Holy crap, they're everywhere!!"
Ghost: Weeeeeeeeeee!!! No one can get me out here!"
Duh dun, duh dun, duh dun.
"Whammo!! Got'cha!!"
Pre-engagement selfie!! Which, btw, is still on his phone as I promptly forgot all about it until I saw this picture.
They are in front of the courthouse, by one of Fin's sidewalk paintings. What? It's perfectly romantic!
And convenient. See? Already at the courthouse so they can have their quickie wedding, so the baby will be born with the correct last name. Don't worry, some of the family was there.
Luthien: "Actually, I'm here to get a copy of Bert's birth certificate. I have no idea what my brother is up to."
Meet little Melodie, by the way, Luthien's mystery child that I never got any notification for. How awesome is that hair?
I'm not sure where it came from. *checks previous entries* Oh, it's Fin's!! I completely forgot that his hair had purple tips. You couldn't see them very well. Luthien has them as well. Do I rock this simming shit or what?
"Ahhhhh, the green hand is getting me!!"
It's more of a jade.
"I LIKE it!!"
SO. CUTE!
More pretties!!
We likes it!
New bebeh!! And no, no overdramatic, screaming woman in labor whilst other sims freak the fuck out pictures. Maybe later.
Cirdan (keer (rhymes with queer) - dan) is named after the shipwright and one of the original bearers of an elven ring. Cirdan wore the ring Narya before giving it to Gandalf, figuring he'd need it.
I rolled his traits. He sees what you all are up to, therefore he has no desire to hang out with any of you.
Um, Georgie? Did you grab the right baby at the hospital?
"I swear I did! He must have changed colors in the cab!"
No big, now he looks like his Grandpa Wil, but I wish the game would quit playing "Psyche!!" with the babies.
Speaking of grandpas.....hi, Fin! Here to see your new grandson?
"Not now, I'm busy!"
"Dammit, woman! I'm a light sleeper, can't you put that baby somewhere else? Like your bedroom?"
"Just ignore him, sweetie. Mommy will kick his ass later."
Oops, I forgot that Feanor is a light sleeper. I put the crib in his bedroom because there's more space.
Next morning I fiinally broke down and added a new room. In Cirdan's favorite color!
"Seriously? The baby gets the newer, bigger room?"
Dude, you get a new bed, shut up.
"See ya' later kid, I gotta go catch my ass on fire."
Did you think he was kidding?
"Oh shit!! I thought I was kidding!! Heeeeeellllp!!"
Get in the shower! That's what it's there for!
"IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!"
Oh for heaven's sake, give it a second!
"Are you happy now? The damn floor hygienator nearly killed me!"
Your suffering is noted. Now get out to the yard, it's party time.
Dammit Luthien, it's not THAT kind of party.
"What? We don't have a time machine at home."
At least make another baby. A blue/green one this time.
"Is everybody done porking? May I blow out the candles, now?"
Alvaro: "Ha HA! Feanor said 'blow'!!"
"I wish to look young."
"Good luck, you skinny freak!"
"Holy shit, Fea! You didn't change at all! Not even your clothes!"
"Heh! Shit finally went my way, for once."
It's true. You can see he's as tall as the adults, so he did age up. He's now a born salesman (rolled). But absolutely nothing else changed. Not his clothes, not his hair, nothing. That's a game first for me.
"You're welcome."
Alvaro: "Dude, how the hell did you pull that off?"
Feanor: "It's called clean living."
Sara Jayne: "I find you very attractive, turquoise man. And you are flirty!"
Finny: "Yes ma'am! Just don't let my evil wife see us!"
Idiot.
After cake, Feanor played gnubb with Ruthie.
"See, you just throw the stick like this, and knock down the little bunnies without hitting the king in the middle."
"*sigh* My man is SO dreamy!!"
Ruthie ages up tonight or tomorrow.
Jerod: "Hey Shawanda, want to christian this new bed?"
Shawanda: "*giggle* Sure!"
Poor Feanor hasn't even slept in it, yet.
Oh good lord, it's Hugh Hefner.
Fortunately for Feanor, Hugh decided that he'd had a great time at the party, and that he'd better go. Before woohooing Shawanda, who left shortly thereafter.
Jerod/Hugh is, btw, Georgina's brother. Figures.
Finny loves his son.
"He's so cute!!"
"I wuv you, too. Stwange, gween man."
JADE, dammit! He's not green!!
"Ruthie! You grew up! The simgod wants me to get my LTW before moving me out, so would you like to live here?"
"With the gnubb? Of course!!"
Ruth, in case you couldn't tell, is Sandi French's daughter (with Mortimer Goth). She looks just like her.
See?
I redid her hair just to make her look a little different.
Sandi must have died, and Mort remarried. Also, Finny maxxed his inventing skill!
So the game has developed this annoying new glitch. The "No I can't/Yes You can" glitch, as I have dubbed it. In short, sims will claim to have routing problems when, really, there is no problem. Take Finny, here. He claims he cannot get from bathroom to the street. If I click on a building in map mode, to take him somewhere, he flips out and claims he can't get there. But if I walk him bit by bit, using "go here", from the bathroom to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the yard, from the yard to the street, he gets there just fine. So it's not like he can't get there at all.
He made it just fine. But upon coming home,
"You want me to feed the baby? I can't get to the nursery from here?"
And it's not just him.
"You want me to go to drum class? But I can't! I'm already outside with absolutely nothing blocking my way!"
"Oh, you're going to 'go here' me across the yard? Okay, that works. What ice cream truck?"
This may be the beginning of the end for this game file. I can never get more than a generation or two before I have to move everybody. I guess we'll see.
Next time, we get to see what Cirdan actually looks like! And that's as far as I've played. Hopefully Feanor gets his LTW, and Finny and Georgie have more babies!
