I haven't update in a little while, so I thought I'd share pictures of another family that lives in my main neighbourhood. The pictures are older, so I apologize for them not being the same size.
Meet Alice Salvatore. Aspiration: Family/Pleasure. LTW: Become Captain Hero.
Her wife, Marian Salvatore. Aspiration: Fortune/Family. LTW: Become Space Pirate.
And now we go back in time...
Alice's pregnancy is not going well.
Marian doesn't seem to even notice her wife has passed out in her food.
After she finally woke up, she ran upstairs to the bathroom, sat on the toilet, then stood up and peed herself.
Alice sleeps on the couch while Marian gives financial consulting.
I love this animation too much.
Marian's favourite activity: spying on the neighbours.
Addison: And never let me catch you spying again! -_-
Marian: This brick wall is fascinating.
Marian returns to financial consulting to cheer herself up.
Marian brought home a co-worker. She wanted to work on her makeover skills, so I let her practice on him.
1st attempt: bad.
2nd attempt: bad. Perhaps third time is a charm?
Nope. 3rd attempt: bad.
Finally, a good makeover!
Baby time!
Alice had twins! I don't typically play babies (except in my legacy for some reason), so I present you a couple of toddlers.
Griffin Salvatore...
...and Payton Salvatore.
The house they were in was obnoxiously too small for all of them, so I moved them out and built them a new house.
I'm horrible at landscaping, so forgive the barrenness of the outside.
Potty training faces time.
Marian is a very angry sim. I wonder what's caused it this time.
Ahh, fighting with Senja, like she fights with everyone who isn't her family.
I'm so glad that Alice actually wants to do things with her kids.
... Everybody Wren Chun tonight! You know it had to be done.
Marian's pregnant! She seems happy.
My boyfriend thinks she looks like the
Toxic Avenger here.
She insisted on putting Griffin in his crib instead of going to bed herself and letting Alice put him to bed.
Edgar likes to steal the dirty newspapers.
Payton and Griffin grew up!
Alice: *grabs book* Are you going into labour?
Alice: Oh shit! You really are going into labour!
Marian:AAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!
Payton:Gotta see this! *runs happily*
Griffin: Aw, mom, not in the kitchen!
Payton:Yay, baby!
Meet Denzil Salvatore.
Alice immediately starts reading to him.
I really have no idea what she's so angry about.
Creepy bus driver.
Dickson Hart's still around.
Alice: They teach kids this crap?
Payton's kind of a jerk sometimes.
Marian got a makeover before she went to work.
I'm not sure playing red hands in the street is such a good idea, Alice.
The twins got into private school.
Denzil grew up. He's practically a clone of Griffin.
Marian was spying on the neighbours again. She seems shocked by something.
Holy crap. Addison made a facial expression. He must be pissed.
All three boys wanted a kitten, and since it was less than 24 hours for the twin's birthday I decided to get them one. Meet Ingrid.
She's a crazy little thing. <3
Griffin and Payton grew up!

The next day Griffin wanted to find a girlfriend, so I sent him downtown. There, he spotted Kendra McCullough. I think she's pretty rad.
She only ever looks at this light switch when Marian's working out in there.
Denzil got into private school.
Ingrid grew up!
It makes me so glad that they still do this autonomously. :3
In other news, I've been working on Pookleting Pooklet's
Kids in Technicolor skintones (#12 specifically). I'm still a little iffy on the quality on the darker tones and would appreciate any feedback. My boyfriend says I'm just being too picky. @_@
TNT in game
Detonator in game
Flammable in game
Nitroglycerin in game
Napalm in game
and finally,
C-4 in game.
I've only included headshots because that's the part I'm most concerned about. There's a gradient on the cheek even after using
pooklet's
Quick & Dirty Skin Smoothing. However, it's only really noticeable on the darker skintones. *shrugs* If I really am just being picky, let me know. Thanks in advance!
