The Yao Chronicles 1.2 : In Which Dag Yao is a boss, and Lie Ins No Longer Exist
Welcome back to another exciting instalment of the Yao Chronicles! It's been a while since I last updated, just because I've had a lot going on, and haven't had much time to play or write. However, I should be able to get ahead again over the next couple of days (I'm have images for another two updates, but then I've caught myself up...) HOWEVER. Enough of my rambling, and onto the updates!
A quick recap: A Sort of pixel_trade legacy, I'm using other people's sims, but not necessarily following all the rules.
Current Spouses: Dag Yao (trappingit)
This update includes sims by: trappingit snapun needlecream kathsy charterzard brilliantcat

1.0 | 1.1 | 1.2
Since there are now two little people in the family, it's time for a new house! The view from the street.
A gratuitous back shot.
Aerial floor plan, complete with the family going about their day.
The main part of the 'living room'.
The back corner, bathroom door and Sam. On the phone.
Sam: Yes, I'm pretty sure I've head that story before...
The admittedly small bathroom.
The chessboard, computer and door to the master bedroom.
The kitchen and dining area, complete with RC car.
Sam and Dag's master bedroom.
The twin's nursery. AKA my favourite room I've ever made.
Sam: You know Michela, you should stop recycling that same story. Get some new material.
Mysterieuse: Life is awesome, and I am joyous!
Astronaut: Ugh, my sister.
Dag: My husband is so hot, my face is stuck like this.
Sam: (in the background) No, I don't think anyone would watch a film of it!
Sam: So that's how babies are made! I had no idea.
Astronaut: Dude, I need to pee, put me down.
Mysterieuse: HEY. WHAT ABOUT ME, DAD?
Mysterieuse: Seriously. my bladder is so full right now. Put me down so I can empty it.
Astronaut: HEY. HEY. PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
Mysterieuse: Ugh. How are we related?
I legitimately had to check and see if anyone from the family had ever met Peony (kathsy). Nope. She's just a phantom dustbin kicker. Vivienne (the_caaah) does not seem amused.
Sam and Dag's current working schedules mean that Sam looks after the babies during the day, and Dag is there for them during the night.
It's a pretty good set up, and it means they don't need a nanny at the moment.
Sam: Ooh, looks like someone was hungry.
Dag: Just call me Detective DagTM Fighter of Crime!
Sam: Time to eat up little lady, so you can grow big and strong.
...and so you can look after yourself, because there could be a new arrival on the way soon.
Sam: I wonder if making babies is like making fine cuisine?
I'm keeping an eye on Dag, as she doesn't have many cooking points, and we all know what that leads to.
So far so go... Huh. I never noticed it before, but Dag has some serious booty in that outfit.
Dag: Success.
*clicks Go on Foot*
YES.
Dag: I never signed up for this! -500
Astronaut: Just change me, please!
Sam: Hey look, the fireflies have come to amuse me!
Fireflies: *plot the demise of the known universe*
Dag makes the cutest faces when eating and not flinging food across the room.
Dag: Time to go be Detective DagTM Fighter of Crime
Vivienne: Ohemgee, hi Detective DagTM!
Coleen (keoni_chan): HiiiIiiIi~
Sam: The only problem I have with being a parent? No more lie ins.
Sam: But I can't complain about my place in life...
Sam: ...because there are two little people who depend on me!
Could this 'Sam' know these things because he treats the casualties? Just saying...
*clicks Fire Escape*
Aww yeah.
Dag: Case closed, indeed.
She's brought home John Collins (the_caah), which is nice. Always good to see a new face!
Sam: Just time for a quick nap before work.
WOAH THERE, BACK THE FUCK UP MISTER COLLINS. Stop creeping on babies under the guise of "critiquing the artwork." How did you become a cop, anyway?
Louella Propeller(boolpropagnda): I think my creeper alert is tingling.
Dag: Ain't nobody gonna mess with my babies.
Sam is cooking a turkey. This is either a) a show of support for Detective DagTM, or b) a chance to show off his cooking skills.
Sam: Turkey should be cooked for roughly M minutes per N kilo1...
Sam: ...which means it's done now!
Okay, he's showing off.
Sam has decided that he wants lifetime happiness, and that this book holds all the answers.
Apparently Dag's lifetime happiness is sleep.
Sam: :D I'm so happy right now.
Sam: Gonna change my son...
Sam: ...and then put him to bed.
Sam: One day, you're going to go to university...
Sam: ...but now, you're going to sleep.
We interrupt your scheduled legacy broadcast to bring you; Dag Yao being a mother to her child.
Dag: Piece of cake this parenting lark.
I can just picture Dag being one of those, baseball caps and sunglasses type of players.
*clicks Go*
Apparently so are her coworkers!
Dag Yao: Total Boss.
Dag: Family time? I can do that.
Dag: Because it's birthday time!
Indeed, it is time for Astronaut and Mysterieuse to grow up into little helltions toddlers!
Sam: My babies are growing up! What a momentous occasion!
Astronaut seems to have inherited most of his features from his mother, but with Sam's colouring .
Poor Mysterieuse doesn't even get to blow out her candles.
But she doesn't seem too bothered. As I guessed when she was born, she's pretty much all Sam facially.
Sam barely had time to put Mysterieuse down fore he was rushing out of the door for work. And ad Dag's motives are tanking at the moment, it was decided that a nanny would be called.
This is why Dag's motives are dropping so fast. BABY INCOMING.
The nanny has barely even stepped into the house before she's doing our cleaning.
It's probably because the twins are asleep. I don't know how though, those blankets look really bright.
The nanny barely has time to sit down with the amount of mess that has apparently sprung up in the house.
Astronaut: So this is what they call 'solid food'?
Mysterieuse: I might be cute now, but you're going to hate me soon.
How can I hate a face like that?
...oh. I see. :|
(As an aside - I'd never seen a toddler do this. My main reation was "OHMYGODTHAT'SSOADORABLE!")
Sam: University... One day.
Mysterieuse: You didn't see me two minutes ago.
Proof that despite two young children, Sam and Dag's love is still going strong.
The nanny continues to be awesome.
Mysterieuse: I NEED THE BATHROOM, SOMEONE HELP ME, GOD.
Spoiler: No one comes.
But it's okay! Awesome Nanny to the rescue!
Mysterieuse is so plugged in to the universe, she doesn't even need to put crayon to paper to know that this is her calling.
Um, I'm not sure your unborn child would like you doing that...
They do however, like Sam's turkey dinnner.
Dag: Omnomgromfchewomnom.
...I'm going to pretend the flying particles are her enjoying her dinner so much she wants to share it with all of you...
STOP THE PRESS. SHE'S ACTUALLY TIDYING UP FOR ONCE.
That lasts all of five minutes, before ACR takes over, and Sam and Dag are making use of their couch.
THE END.
Of this update at least.
Next time: Toddlers! Babies! Cameos! Toddler Training! Epic Win! Bad Parenting!
