The Yao Chronicles Gen 2 Spares #1
Welcome to the Yao Chronicles Gen 2 Spares update! Since I haven't yet played the main house, I decided to post the spares a little early, just to keep things moving. To make it easier for myself to keep track of things like timing and ages, I'm playing two sim weeks per household, and when it comes to the spare updates, a lot of things won't be captured.
Last time: I got fed up of Uni, and all three kids dropped out. Due to Mysterieuse's horrible behaviour with her little brother's best friend and her lack of elf ears as it turns out and Astronaut being an almost facial clone of his mother, added onto Crazy's little breakdown at the end of Uni, Crazy Yao was declared the Gen 2 Heir, whilst Astronaut and Mysterieuse were sent packing to live their own lives.
Warning: 160 images under the cut.
Since he's tecnically the oldest, we'll begin this update with a post-uni Astronaut.
Astronaut: So yeah, I'm in the business of getting myself a wife. Want to be mine forever? You'll be right over? Cool, see you soon!
Snapdragon: When you said you were looking for a wife, I assumed you meant at the main house.
Snapdragon: But you're so adorable, I can't hate you.
Instalove and best friends? This can only mean one thing...
Quickie front lawn proposal and weding time!
Astronaut: With this ring I thee wife, blah blah etc.
Snapdragon: Sames.
I'm not sure what happened to the border here, but whatever, kaching!
These two waste absolutely no time, and get straight onto the baby making.
Astronaut: Thanks for marrying me so quickly. Now we're stuck with each other forever.
A quick promotion means that Snapdragon is one step closer to achieving her dream of reaching the top of the Showbiz career and becoming an Icon.
But that may jhave to wait, because we have babies inbound!
Snapdragon: I bet I could get a tv show out of this!
Hi there Dag! Snapdragon, meet your mother-in-law.
Snapdragon: lolololol it's so funny that all three of your kids dropped out of college.
Dag: Haha. Keep this up and pregnant or not I will end you.
Dag Yao, ladies and gentlemen.
Pink dust pop! No matter how many times I see this, I still love it. It's so cute.
Astronaut is clawing his way up his own career whilst Snapdragon is on maternity leave.
Dag: What is she going on about now?
Snapdragon: Aieeeeeeeee!!
Dag: Please. I've been through it twice. You'll live.
Astronaut: Oh my God, there's a baby.
Astronaut: I hope Snapdragon's not too traumatised by it all.
Iris: My dad's an idiot.
May I present to you, baby Iris. This household is going to have a plant naming theme, based on Snapdragon, and because I didn't want to use constellations. She had mama's skin and hair, and blue eyes. Now, Snapdragon has brown eyes, and so does Astronaut - thanks to Sam, which means that they could only have come from one person.
Dag: Now every time she looks at her daughter she will see me looking back at her. And she will know fear.
Snapdragon: Yay, parenting skills!
...just in time, too!
Time for baby Iris to grow up...
...into this little cutie! She's very like her dad, but I think she has her mum's nose.
Iris: My grandpa.
(Sam was walking by, and Astronaut and Snapdragon had to go to work, so he was greeted and used as free babysitting!)
Cindy: Any chance of joining this family?
Not today!
Astronaut: Urgh, why is this so tough?
Hey, now you can appreciate what your parents did for you!
♥
Plenty of win all round.
Pregnancy #2 of 2! Each of the spare couples are only getting two pregnancies, no more.
This may or may not come back and bite me in the arse later.
Snapdragon: Can you say Iris? I-ris.
Iris: Do I look like I want to say my fucking name?
Astronaut: Wow, your makeover makes you look so hot.
Snapdragon: I know.
(I think it makes her look a little like Poison Ivy.)
Snapdragon earns herself a lamp.
Astronaut: I can't wait to tell my wife :]
Astronaut: What's wrong with her?
Snapdragon: I may be about to make you hate me...
Snapdragon: ...so please remember it's not just my fault!
What are you talking about?
Astronaut: Oh, oh no.
UM, EXCUSE ME. EITHER I CAN'T COUNT OR YOU'RE HAVING FOUR BABIES RIGHT NOW.
Iris: Fuck this, I am outta here!
Baby #1: Rowan, Mama's skin and I think hair, brown eyes.
Baby #2: Yew. Mama's skin and hair, brown eyes.
Baby #3: Hazel. Mama's skin, Papa's hair, Grandma Dag's blue eyes.
She was giving birth at 6pm. FIVE BIRTHDAYS AT ONCE YAY /sarcasm.
Baby #4: Sycamore. Mama's skin and hair, brown eyes.
Gaze at this in wonder, as it's the only time all four of them were quiet at once.
The game putting these two in matching pyjamas may be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Right now, pretty much everyone in the house is close to motive failure, if not aspiration failure, so a little helping hand is required.
Although the nanny isn't that great at her job.
Astronaut returns home just in time for the mega birthday bonanza!
First up, we have toddler!Hazel.
Followed closely by toddler!Yew.
Iris is now a child, and able to look after herself a little more thank you Jesus.
Here we have toddler!Rowan.
Iris: Ugh, my brother smells so bad. Why are they even here?
Because my game hates me :)
And this little cutie here is toddler!Sycamore.
Astronaut: If you don't come over soon I'm going to have a goddamned breakdown.
Iris: lol fuck this I'm going to bed.
The best part of this is that she's wearing a costume to work already.
How did we survive before this table came along?
♥o♥
Astronaut: So, how about we make some more tiny feet?
LOLNO. BIRTH CONTROL FOR YOU BOTH.
Kiddy bonding ♥
Iris: Ugh, what is he looking at? Do you know what this family needs?
Iris: MOAR BABIES.
lolno. Pay attention to the ones you already have.
And that is the end of the first two weeks as Astronaut's house. Let's leave them to it, and skidoot next door, to see how Mysterieuse is holding up.
Here she is post makeover! She's had long hair in my game pretty much from being a toddler, so I wanted to give her a change.
Her LTW career (Slacker) doesn't show up, so she takes this one instead.
Win!
Oh, hi Wesley! Thanks for coming, Mysterieuse is just off to work, so make yourself at home dude.
Wesley: ...
TAKE THAT, FAKERS.
Mysterieuse: And speaking of fakers...
Mysterieuse: ...and don't think you can sit around here all day doing absolutely nothing while I'm out working my backside off.
Wesley: Please, like you're working all that hard. I work harder than you when I'm back at the island.
Mysterieuse: Pft. Whatever.
There is a reason for Mysterieuse's change of heart. And that reason is called Strep.
Wesley: Please. Once she sees my sculpted chest she'll be all over me.
Is she? Or is she all over Strep?
Is this a post woohoo makeout or is this a ploy? Is Wesley trying to act unaffected or is he picking the evidence from his teeth?
It's totally Strep she banged. Thank you ACR.
I like to call this shot: Snapdragon being nosy.
Wesley: Hahaha, take a waterballon to the face, bitch.
Wesley: I came here to have a good time, and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now.
Wesley: Why are you attacking me? Huh? Huh?
Mysterieuse: ...the fuck?
Mysterieuse: I'll fucking show you 'attacked'.
And she does. One ass kicking later...
Mysterieuse: THAT'S IT. I'VE HAD ENOUGH. I'M DONE. I'M DONE WITH THIS, I'M DONE WITH YOU, AND I'M DONE WITH US.
Mysterieuse: NOW FUCK OFF BACK TO YOUR LITTLE ISLAND PARADISE YOU GIGANTIC DICKWEED.
Wesley: :o
Wesley: But, please. No why, wait.
Mysterieuse: DONE.
Once Mysterieuse has got rid of the dead weight in her life, her dream job comes up.
Astronaut: We heard screaming the other day, are you okay?
Mysterieuse: I'm fine.
Strep: Oh no! It's her brother... I have never been so flaccid...
Wesley seems to want to spend thousands of simoleans coming out and doing this to Mysterieuse's bins.
Mysterieuse: Whatever, I win.
And if you thought her moving a guy in was going to stop her from having a mostly pink house? You were wrong.
Strep is in the same career path at the moment, but his LTW is to become Captain Hero, so we're keeping an eye out for Law Enforcement jobs.
That... is a painful looking pop.
One quick outfit change later, and it's kitchen proposal time!
Strike whilst the iron is hot and all that.
Looks like getting married made it easier for Strep to take a step towards his dream job!
...whatnoplease...
Oh, okay. It's only two. Phew.
And here's the twins. At the top we have Ezra, who has red hair and to the right we have Noah who has brown hair. Both have Papa Strep's eyes, and the naming theme for this house is Biblical names.
You have literally just had babies, what are you doing?
Time for the boys to grow up!
Toddler!Ezra. Looks a lot like Strep with Mysterieuse's mouth maybe?
And toddler!Noah. Again, looks a lot like Papa Strep.
Pregnancy #2 is underway.
Numbnuts here decided to repair the computer he broke. Only problem is, HE HAS ONE MECHANICAL SKILL POINT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
He doesn't die, but he does almost set the house on fire.
Strep: What is going onnnn?
You started it. You can fix it.
Luckily, he doesn't burn to death.
Oh, looks like Wesley has made another visit.
This would be an inconvenience, except...
...Strep is a family sim. GRANDMA'S COMFORT SOUP FOR ALL.
Mysterieuse: Yay, baby.
Ezra: I feel a disturbance in the force.
Outer!Strep: Yaaaaaaay!
Inner!Strep: Everything sucks.
In an homage to her mother, and countless others before her, Mysterieuse proceeds to go into labour in the bathroom, whilst impaling herself on the door.
Mysterieuse: I'M NOT SURE WHICH HURTS MORE.
No. Nonononononononononono.
OH THANK FUCK IT'S ONLY TWO.
First up we have baby Azazel, who has Mama's facial features, eyes and possibly hair colour.
And then we have baby Lydia, who has Mama's eye shape, Papa's nose, Grandma Dag's eyes and brown hair.
NOW IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO GET DEMOTED, DUDE.
Mysterieuse: At least one of us is good at our jobs.
And then it's suddenly birthday time again! Here's toddler!Azazel, who doesn't get to his cake in time, but who is still looking a lot like Mama.
Lydia on the other hand, does get to her cake in time...
...and is a cutie, even if she doesn't have the Yao nose to go with the eyeshape.
Mysterieuse: Still got it.
And as the final image of this spare update, I leave you with these two being adorable.
Next up should be the main legacy update, which hopefully shouldn't be too long.
