Deagol: "Steve, what is the matter with you now?"
"I'm 40 and not even a pop icon. I'll never be a rock star."
"*sigh* Where's Linda? She should be here."
"I don't know. She never tells me anything."
"Oh yeah! There has GOT to be some good stuff in here!"
It's a sim magnet, I'm telling you. On par with the hot tub.
Earwen is now an animal lovin' , easily impressed, excitable light sleeper who will be known around town for her very memorable kisses.
I'm not sure that's a good thing.
She never rolled an original LTW, so I chose Master Romancer for her. She has to woohoo with 5 different sims in 5 different places. Good luck with that, Earwen.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge!"
Last chapter on the BCWYWF challenge, Eveline got settled in just in time for the whole family to pack up and move to Twinbrook in a vain attempt to alleviate some serious lag. All of Mungo's brothers and sisters made the move, except Palladin who, let's face it, nobody really got to know anyway. And for the record, it was during this party that I realized he was gone. That's how long it took for me to notice.
Have no fear, my crass-queen Simself made the move. Elderhood has not edged her any closer to civil, polite society.
I let Earwen have one more big wish before moving out. This is Mushroom the puppy.
Mushroom's traits don't matter one whit as Earwen moved out pretty much the second Mushroom's adoption was final. Okay Earwen, remember, Mushroom is just a little puppy, so bring her in the cab with you to the new house.
"Will do!"
"Wait, Clover is here. Where's the puppy?"
Hoofing it at a glacial pace. I stopped watching her after a couple of sim hours and figured the game would poof her there at some point. What actually happened was while Mastercontroller showed Mushroom was a part of the household, she didn't show up anywhere in town and the file pic on the main menu screen showed only Earwen and Clover. After some futzing around, moving them out and back in again fixed the issue. This game, I swear.
Bebe wasn't at the party, either. Why not?
"I'm getting really hungry."
"Then go home, Mom!"
She never left the pool after Eldarion's party.
"Another beautiful day, and I'm still STARVING!!"
She's been at the pool since Saturday. She hasn't eaten anything, but she's been napping in the lounge chairs in between marathon diving sessions.
Gilly eventually left of her own accord, so the pool shouldn't have any routing problems. I don't get to find out because.......
Suddenly, a wild dresser appears!!
I was very confused until I remembered that this lot used to be a dump. I went into World Editor to delete the spawner, thereby triggering the game to send Bebe home.
Mungo gets old. I let him keep that ridiculous hair since it reminds me of Finrod.
Of course, "old" is a state of mind.
"So if I get this ball in the cup, you have to drink it?"
"Yup. Didn't they have this game in China?"
"Nope, I've never heard of it."
"Heh-heh, I hope you can hold your juice."
"You better hope you can hold yours."
"I'm not worried about it."
"Although maybe I should be."
Again, we never get to find out because they both got caught in Error Trap, ending their date and denying Mun his "great date" wish.
"So I asked our guidance counselor what career requires the least amount of skill and actual work. Guess what, Amit? I totally know what I want to do when I grow up!"
I had to go back to the master list I'm keeping because I thought we may have done this one already, but nope. It's up for grabs.
"Like, decapitate you with my fishing pole?"
"Sure, that'll do it."
"Okay, here goes!"
"Dammit, you Valinors can't do anything right."
"Sorry, Leslie!"
"Whatever. I gotta die sometime."
Four generations and he still hasn't become an astronaut. Slack ass.
"So, Smitty, do you want to play chess or something?"
"Heh-heh, or 'something'."
She's your cousin, you little sicko!!
"Hey, this is Twinbrook. Mom said this is banjo-playin' hicksville."
Your mother would kick your ass right now.
"Pffft, she's too busy bitching at Dad because he still won't marry her."
"How's school going for you, Evie? Do you like it?"
"I do! I like having lots of friends, and learning new things."
"Eldarion, do you ever see your cousin, Beatrice? He's kind of cute!"
"Really? Beatrice? No, I only see him at school. Aunt Bella is kind of a ........... well .............. she's not very nice."
"I think Beatrice is nice."
"I guess he's alright."
I would like to state, for the record, that the following events are all completely autonomous.
"Oh yeah, this is going to be a great night!"
Ugh. Great indeed.
Yup, sure, let's wake evvvvverybody up.
"This better not be a dying battery again."
"Hi! I'm so sorry but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to arrest you. Now, do you mind turning around with your hands behind your back so I can cuff you? Thanks so much!"
This is going to go well.
"But, I'm just trying to be friendly!"
Yeah? How's that going for you, Officer McDidyougetyouruniformfromhalloweenexpress?
"HA!! I am victorious, pig!!"
"Oh, this is not going to look good in my report."
"OWWWWWW!! The burglar got awaaaaaayyyyyy!!!"
Finny: "Is that why the alarm is still blaring? Some of us are trying to play Sims2, here."
Evie: "Why won't the alarm shut off??"
Eldarion: "It's cool, I totally got this!!"
Finny: "Aw man, he's a TEENAGER. This noise is never gonna stop!!"
Officer McHalloweenexpress: "Wow! You guys have a piano! So glad the burglar didn't get away with that!!"
KICK THIS BITCH'S ASS, ELDARION!! Win this fight and I'll have to consider you for heir! C'mon man, you got this!!!
"Oww! She's hitting me!!"
It's a fight, dumb ass! What did you expect?
Well, well, look who finally made it down.
"Did this ghost trip the alarm? Are they stealing from us, now?"
"It's the food, isn't it? It's trying to escape!"
"I do not think Eldarion is winning."
Really, Evie? You don't think?
"Now my back hurrrrrts!! I wanna go back to bed! Why won't the alarm shut off??"
"Ahhhh, this is invigorating!! Who's next?"
"You let our food escape!! What are we supposed to eat??"
Finny: "What? The food escaped? Are they keeping livestock now? Chickens? What is the pirate talking about?"
Don't mind him, Fin. He's got a weird obsession.
Bree: ** cracks knuckles ** "I'M ON DECK!"
Awesome.
WHY ISN'T THE DAMN ALARM SHUTTING OFF AND WHERE IS THAT FUCKWIT POLICE OFFICER?
"While physical fitness and knowledge of the law are good, I place a lot of importance on friendliness. Criminal activity is never a reason to be rude to someone."
"Uh huh, that's great. When is this infernal noise going to stop, and why is the burglar still here?"
"I'm sorry? The burglar got away."
Bree: "It's on, bitch."
Eldarion: ** shows subtle signs of head injury **
Everyone: "ELDARION!! What are you doing?? Get out of the way!!"
Eldarion: ** shows obvious signs of brain injury **
Bree: "Dammit!!!"
Same.
Finny: "HaHAAAAAAA! You got your ass kicked!!"
"EW!! Shut up ............. ghost!!"
Alright, can we please admit defeat and let the burglar leave so I can stop listening to that BEEPING SOUND FROM HELL!!!!
Oh for fuck's sake, Eldarion!! She already handed you your ass once!!
Eldarion: ** shows really obvious signs of mental impairment **
Bree: "He's going to win this time, I KNOW it!!"
Evie: "I would not bet on it."
Me neither.
"OH MY GOD, HE'S GONNA DO IT!!"
Burglar: "Is NOT!! I got this shit!!"
Eldarion: "No way!! Come on! I totally beat her!! I get heirship, you said so!!"
I said I would consider you. My last save was that evening before everyone went to bed. So, technically, this never happened.
"WHAT!! OH HELL NO!!! This is bullshit!!"
Blame my dying laptop.
Since nothing of note happened at the house on this night's do-over, I went over to the graveyard to check on the ancestors. Usually not much is happening. The ghosts come out, gross each other out, haunt the other gravestones, sometimes someone will fish, nothing to blog about. Lucky for me, one ghost must have sensed my boredom and decided to give me something to watch for the night.
I'm getting Beetlejuice vibes. Where you headed, Nadia?
I guess she just wanted to go for a little wander as she drove out to the swamp,
and floated around for a few hours.
She haunted a gem for awhile.
Before heading back to the road to go poof.
Meanwhile, back at home, Otho is creating obstacles.
"I don't know who messing with the fridge, but if they think that they can come between me and my pizza, they're going to be sorely disappointed."
Way to go, Bree! I thought for sure she was going to do the Sim foot stamping, arm-waving dance of frustration.
"Did I mention pizza?"
The twins get a beach birthday party. Enthusiasm not provided..
"Why won't Steve marry me?!? We've been together for 30+ years, we have three children together, what the hell is he waiting for???"
I'm so glad you came to the party, Linda. As long as you're here we have that air of awkward, petty desperation that would otherwise be lacking.
Arathorn rolled "computer whiz" for his trait. He never rolled an original LTW, so I chose "Creature-Robot Crossbreeder" for him. It was one of two choices that he could do non-active, the other being Hit Movie Composer, and Arathorn seems more the mad scientist type.
I let Bree roll for her trait since her LTW really doesn't require anything specific. She's now an excitable perfectionist who loves to be alone, sleeps like a log, and hates art. She's also the heir for generation eight!
Also, please note that in lieu of cheering, my simself went for a swim. So caring and thoughtful.
Opportunity round up!!
That's it. He got one other one, to take a photograph of a sim and give it to another sim. He tried a couple of times but no matter how many pictures he took, the option to complete the opportunity never came up, so I deleted it.
Mungo's happiness point count.
Next chapter, Bree takes over and things get ......... a little dramatic.
