"Sweet Cheesus that was close! Shut the doors, shut the doors!!"
The future is not looking so pleasant.
Welcome back to BCWYWF. Our current heir, Finrod, aka Finny, barely survived his first trip in the time machine.
"Those overlords mean business!"
Finny got promoted and now has new ghosthunting duties.
"It's not working."
Give it a good shake.
"Ah HA! Come out come out where ever you are!"
"Well, it says there's a ghost here somewhere."
"Oooooooo, a new sim to play with!"
"NOOOOOOOOO!! You'll never take me!! I'll have my revenge!!"
Blah blah blah.
He should be able to get palladium, but I don't think he's going to be able to get his hands on the life fruit he's going to need.
Back at home,
"I wanna go to bed! Why can't I get to my bed?"
"I know I'm supposed to fix the hot tub, but I just can't get there!!"
Fin: "Please let the record show that I am NOT the one who broke the hot tub."
No you're not, but you are the ghost still out and about at 9am. Get back in the ground!!
"In a minute, just one more bunny to knock over."
"Hello?? We're trying to get back into the house but our way is BLOCKED by the wall!"
I finally decided to rearrange a little and put in a back door, just to see if having the extra entrance will calm them all the fuck down.
The master bedroom is a little smaller but oh well. It worked like a charm. No more routing problems. Idiots.
"What is this and why do I want it?"
It's palladium. Bring it to the Science Building.
I accepted the opportunity but I don't know if he's going to be able to pull this off. He's not going to garden on top of everything else he has to do. I'm going to do some quick research and see if there's another way to obtain that many life fruit but I think I'm going to end up deleting this.
At least I remember where he saw her, at the Science Building. Back you go, Finny.
"Hi Francesca, I'm Finrod. Nice to meet you!"
"Well hello, Finrod! Nice to meet you!"
"That's all I wanted. Later!"
That's Mortimer Goth in the background. He's got to be getting up there.
Georgie loves giving money away, in spite of her LTW.
"I'm waiting on karma to take care of me. I give money, I get money."
I don't think it works like that, especially for evil sims.
Luthien and Alvaro are on their third child.
Meanwhile, Fea is plugging away on his LTW.
"Just a couple of moves, I know I've got this guy."
"Pffft, you wish greenie."
JADE!!!!
"Hmmmm, there's definitely something else I'd rather be doing."
Or someONE else. *snicker*
Ruth: "Wait, we're doing it in HERE? What's wrong with the bed?"
Feanor: "The time machine is much more fun, trust me. But keep an eye out for the Keeper of Time, we may have to evade him."
"If you say so."
"Watch me, you've got to jump in to avoid the purple flames."
It's their first go round, completely autonomous. We'll see if they hit the 5% jackpot like Finny and Georgie did.
"Nice playing, Cirdan! Hey guess what? Uncle Feanor finally got laid!"
I don't think he cares, Fea.
"WTG man! Now if you'll excuse me, Ima gonna get up on this! Mmmmmmm."
Or maybe he does.
I sent Finny across the street to the pond to try out the miner so he doesn't piss off the entire house.
How's it going?
"Not too bad. I got some scrap and a few other things."
Keep drilling.
That's more like it!
Sweet!
"I have come from all the way across town to find out what this unholy noise is all about."
Oh go home, Alvaro. Nobody cares what you think.
"I sweepy Dada. We go home now?"
Meet Bert, Luthien and Alvaro's middle child.
Ears and purple tips! I approve.
Bert does not.
"Dada, dis ting is so loud! I wanna go home!"
"Not now, Bertie, Daddy has a plan!"
"I'll drown him out!! YEAH!! ROCK-N-ROLL!!"
"Wock an woll!!"
Finny finally had mercy on poor little Bert, giving him a good toss before heading back home.
"Hee hee, don't dwop me!!"
Now that Finny has gems, I figured it was time for him to learn to use the gem cutter.
"It goes in here?"
Yup. Drop it in.
"And it comes out the other end all shaped and polished?"
Yep, not terribly unlike a polished turd.
"Whoa! It's beautiful! Much nicer than a turd."
It is purdy.
Um, Georgie? Is there something you want to tell us?
"That I'm secretly a vampire? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Yeah right. I'm just holding it ........ for a friend."
Meet Slimer, our drilling gnome.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz *hic* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ"
He's sleeping it off.
"I am SUCH a bad ass!"
Nice uniform!
"And it's clean. Vast improvement on the old one."
Go get 'em!
Okay Finny, I meant go get the ghosts.
"Too late now."
"I'm pregnant, by the way."
"Whoa, already? I thought we were going to wait awhile. I mean, the house is gonna be pretty crowded."
"It's one more sim, dear, not an army."
"I know, but still. We finally got the point where I can navigate the house and yard without getting stuck."
"You love Cirdan, right?"
"Of course I do!"
"It'll be like having one more of him. She won't get in your way."
"She?"
"Look, we have a boy. I want a girl this time."
You'll get what you get, Georgie.
"Hopefully she will be quiet and a great sleeper like him, too."
"I wonder how much longer Fea is going to live here? Maybe he and Ruthie will move out."
"Guess what Feanor? I'm pregnant! Finny and I are having another baby!"
"Hmmmm, that's nice."
"Sure is going to get snug in here."
"Yup."
"If only we could do something about it."
"Well, we could add on to the house again."
"We could, but that would set back my lifetime wish and I'm not interested in that."
"Speaking of lifetime wishes, I have a phonecall to make."
He had one match to go. Congrats Feanor! Now grab Ruthie and gtfo!
Okay, first I let him get the medical job he was wishing for.
"You're going to miss me and you know it."
I am. You are very cute, and he really was a drama-free sim. Go make cute babies with Ruthie!
I moved them into a sweet 5 bedroom that I'd built on the other side of town.
"What are we going to do with all this space?"
Babeez!!
Of course she proposed to him.
Deleted the opportunity. There are ways to get a single life fruit, but no fast track to ten of them that I could find.
I had no idea he was still kicking. RIP, Socks!
Back at the house, Slimer is kind of an asshole.
"Okay, I can feed Cirdan but I can't feed me! I can't get to the fridge, and something is definitely blocking my way this time!! I am NOT glitched!"
I see him, I see him. Sorry Slimer, but you gots to move.
"BUUUUURRRRRRRRPPPPPPP!! Move me, baybeh!"
"I'm supposed to eat this? It looks like something Mom dug out of the garbage disposal."
It does look nasty.
"Here goes nothing."
How is it?
"I am not pleased."
I think we'll stick with bottles for now.
"Thank you."
Georgie went into labor late that afternoon. I sent her to the hospital and hired a babysitter for Cirdan for when Finny inevitably followed.
Meet Olorin and his rolled traits. Olorin is believed to be Gandalf's original, Maia, name.
Olorin was promptly followed by.....
Yavanna, also with rolled traits. Yavanna is the Vala that created the Ents.
"YES!! Told you I'd get a girl!"
Yup, twins. Out of the clear blue sky, did not expect that at all. Now I'm really glad Fea and Ruthie moved out. I did some quick redecorating and now Cirdan (who likes to be alone) has Fea's old room to himself, and the twins share the nursery.
Also, the game decided to fuck with me some more.
Yeah, Yavanna turned red in the cab. Dammit, Georgie, stop dipping the babies in Kool Aid!!
"I told you it's NOT me!!"
Stupid game. I changed her back.
"Why am I the only one getting up with THREE babies? Where the FUCK is my husband?"
He went to work.
"Work?? At a time like this? MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
Georgie is not handling the 3am feedings very well.
"*grumble grumble* I know we need the money, but DAMN I'm tired."
"goo-goo?"
"Don't ask, sweetie."
If it helps, Finny's night isn't going much better.
"HA!! You're so ugly your daughter changed color so she wouldn't look like you!"
"Hey! It's not nice to mock my family's color changing glitch!"
"She's got a point, though. That green is hideous."
JADE!!!!!!
"Neh neh neh neh neh! Like you can catch me, you little bitch!!"
We'll just let the blaster speak for itself.
"It just got quieter in here, thanks man!"
A little too quiet.
That pink ghost from the above picture just vanished. He's nowhere to be found on the lot. So I had Finny leave to go do the other job in town. I figure he'll finish that one and try this one again, maybe the ghost will show back up.
The next house had your standard, old fashioned spirits. The ones that you hunt when you first join the ghosthunting career. No sweat right? Finny got the first two in the yard, no problem. Then.....
The house closed up and there were no more spirits in the yard, in spite of the house appearing to still be haunted.
It still showed up on the map but wasn't clickable.
Then this guy appeared on the driveway.
But there was no option to banish him. It was like he lived there or something.
"Hey man, what is up with this house? I got hired to get rid of four spirits and after getting two of them, everything closed up and I can't get in. Do you know what's going on?
"The thing is, this is my haunting place and I don't want it messed with. I know the owner called you, but that was before I could haunt his phone. So I'm sorry but your services are not needed."
"Crud, and I really need a few more ghosts to sell to the Science Building to fulfill my wish."
"I can spare one more, but that's the best I can do."
"Thanks, man! I really appreciate it."
So Finny nailed that last ghost and, after checking the yard to see if any others had shown up, went into map mode to go back to the first house to see if that last ghost had rematerialized.
The other job had disappeared clear off the map. Dammit! And he still couldn't get into the current house in spite of it still showing.
Morning was approaching, babies and toddler were about to awaken, so Finny cut his losses and went home.
Where sat another ghost, watching tv.
"What? I'm catching up on Letterman before he finally retires."
Nothing. Carry on.
Next day is Cirdan's birthday.
"Ah yes, nudity and debauchery everywhere! The perfect child's birthday party!"
Georgie had fun.
"YEAH man! I can't wait to go to school and earn all As! It's gonna be EPIC!"
He rolled ambitious for his trait. No bald kids in my game, Cirdan! To the mirror with you.
Much better. He looks like Georgie and Wil had a baby. Hey Georgie, you haven't been hanging around the graveyard, have you?
"Not recently. Why?"
No reason.
A couple of familiar faces worthy of note came to the party. Namely Cirdan's cousins via Luthien and Alvaro.
Bert is super cute!
Melodie really favors her dad.
Cirdan hung out with a new friend.
"Watch me nail this guy! He doesn't stand a chance!"
Gwendolyn: "Hmm, I wonder if Melodie went outside."
Next day the twins had their toddler birthday. No party, just two cakes in the yard.
Don't be gross, Olorin.
"I need something, it's not like I get any cake."
"Want any?"
"My brother is disgusting."
And you are very cute. Yavanna didn't inherit the ears naturally. I took her into CAS and did a little plastic surgery.
*sigh* How are the Sims like the Mythbusters? Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. He did it once! Must be good for FIVE more!! So Finny hauled his ass to the park to convince five sims to excavate their heads from their anal cavities.
"Russell, you're a teenager! You're probably on your phone ALL the time! If kids like you aren't on the cutting edge of technology, Sunset Valley is basically screwed and headed back to the stone ages! So for all our sakes, get with it, man!!"
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!* "OMAGIRD, you're SO right! What was I thinking? I LURVES technology!!"
Or, you know, that.
"Dude, you think having one baby sister is bad, I've got a baby sister AND a baby brother."
"Damn cuz, that's harsh."
"Tell me about it. At least I got my own room."
"At least you've got a room, and a bed. I have to share a couch with my sister."
Pffffft.
I leave you with a rather dark, grainy picture of Cortney Valinor, Alty's only child with Elvin.
"Nice to meet you lovely ladies and gentlemen."
Next time on the BCWYWF legacy, I have no idea! Will Olorin and Yavanna still be cute as kids? Will Finny wish for more children? Will Cirdan eventually have to share a room? Will Fea and Ruthie quit stringing me along and make more jade babies already? We'll find out.
