Picspam from Chapter 7
Hi guys, hope you all enjoyed the chapter, this time I have quite a lot of outtakes and stuff that just didn't fit in the chapter, so I give you the picspam for Hypothesis Incorrect 7:
So, the first major thing that happened in the chapter was Freud and Oatley having their joint birthday. I'm always worried about elder birthdays because of the change it creates in a sim, so I brought these feelings out in Bandura, but I needn't have worried; Freud's a very handsome, dignified elder. But I prefer him with his new glasses, the old ones made his eyes look a bit tired.
Zoe also agrees that Freud grew up well of course. Their two bolts never go, despite the changes that have been happening.
Bandura's constant thoughts interrupt a lot of my pictures too, and I think this was the only one I got with all 4 Psychologists on the day of the transition. This was going to be the original 'Look at our amazing children Freud' picture, but I liked the hug best.
The next big thing in the chapter was of course Oppenheim's birth (by the way, I'm unsure how to pronounce it too). The problems with Zoe's pregnancy caused many headaches as to what to do in the story, but I was happy with moving her out, as I couldn't really fit deleting or resetting her into it haha. Zoe had many, many distractions leading up to the 'clinic', some being more easy to fit into the story than others.
The taxi, of course, actually came at the wrong time, and I had to use so many silly camera angles to avoid this situation:
Yep, you guessed it, bang on 1pm when Bandura and Oatley got home from school. *sigh*
The 'clinic' itself was one of the empty condos along from Don, Nina and Dina; and Zoe didn't even make it past the mailbox before she started clutching her stomach.
It was a birth like any other, then I moved them back in neigbourhood view, to merge the household back together. When they arrived back home it was not, as I had hoped, in another taxi. It was like this:
Then I just clicked on Penny and asked Zoe to cuddle her, and that's how we got what ended up in the chapter:
And of course, she didn't stop anything in the family from carrying on as usual. Zoe is constantly heart-farting Freud and swooning, and I love her multi-tasking here. Yes, she can be a mother and still fancy her husband, bless her.
Most of what happened after Penny's birth and while she was a baby ended up in the chapter, and she was exactly as you see her - loud, demanding but cute. I'm guessing she'll continue to be like that to be honest. :)
Freud loves his little girl, and he will always be the one to answer her cries, fulfill her wants and carry her everywhere. See what I mean about her being spoilt? She, in return, follows him all around the house, but takes after her Mum for finding life distractions.
Right, two plot lines left to discuss. First, Zoe's transition. I wanted to make more of a big deal out of it than I did, but to be honest, it sort of crept up on me, what with Penny's birth and Bandura going to uni the day after. So, we got the mirror shots, and then off she went to work. Which I also didn't realise ended at 7pm. *sigh*
So I gathered the family by the drive, leaving Penny inside with her logic blocks, and waited until Zoe pulled up in the car, getting many thought bubbles in the way.
Yes Freud, your wife does indeed have the bad Psychologist transition fashion sense. Luckily I found an elder outfit online with a push-up bra, so Zoe was saved from the sag. Ugh, maxis elders make me shudder.
On a related tangent, anyone remember how Zoe and Oatley have the same aspiration and LTW? Well, it wasn't just Zoe couch jumping.
'Oh my god Mum, how embarrassing...actually, it looks quite fun.'
'Wahey, this is fun!'
But if it's the first couch jump, you need to concentrate. Well that was not happening in this case.
Heh, you lose. :)
We also had Deanna still hanging round the house at this point, which leads me nicely back into the other plot line, which is not neeearly finished with yet, so this is only a tiny bit of detail.
Oatley has had other girls round, but he has bolts with Deanna (either one or two, I'm not sure) and I wanted to keep involving her parents in this story (more of that next time). So, he had friends round after school but I kept them out of the story for continuity's sake.
I think him and Deanna are just right together, and they understand what I want from them; look! :D
I can't wait to explore the relationship between these two, there is much plot to come.
And, finally, my lovely Bandura went to college. She enjoyed the smustle with Oatley, and I couldn't resist letting her say goodbye to them all, it almost had me sniffling, the hug that Freud gave her. Aw. There was, of course, lots of smustling, I just picked my favourite of the three pictures:
And off she went. But, as we all knew would be the case, she hasn't changed a bit at uni, just got more cemented in her personality. Ah, she gave me so much to work with just in one half hour of playing her at uni, and this is going to be a fun chapter for her.
Finally, I went back over my pictures and found this old one from, ooh, mid chapter 5? I love the synchronisation of father and daughter. <3
So, there's lots and lots happening for the Psychologists at the moment, it's all about the three children and there's so much plot and fun about to begin. So probably not much from my WYDC family for a while, hopefully meaning that the next Hypothesis Incorrect chapter should not take four months like this one did! I hope to get it done by the time I go on holiday in mid September, so keep your fingers crossed and your eyes peeled. xxx
