Baby Boom
I've been playing a lot with my one Sim family, a husband and wife I made myself. First they had one son, and then after he went through the Baby and Toddler stages I had the mom get pregnant again. She finally gave birth when I was playing this afternoon...to a pair of twins! A boy and a girl...and for some weird reason the girl is a shade darker than her brother...
It's been a lot of stress on the poor family, though. Two days after the babies were born the Child became a Teenager, and now he has a girl he's got a crush on and a mad desire to study (he's a Knowledge aspiration, so he likes to learn ^^). The dad is trying to get promoted and make more friends at the same time, and the mom, due to my intense stupidity, is pregnant AGAIN, so she wants to eat and sleep all the time. And now the Babies are Toddlers, both wanting to learn to walk, talk, use the potty, and be played with all the time, while the rest of their family is going hungry because they were already pretty poor to begin with and now the fridge is empty and they have almost no money to buy new groceries with...
Whew. And to think, this is all just a game with little 3D people that can turn from unborn babies to children over only 9 days...how does God do it??
Back in the real world, I need to redo a BioTech lab, do a Gov paper, type up a thing on Mary, Queen of Scots for Topical Issues, and redo edit those three college papers. Plus I have to get over to Panera to meet with the rest of the play cast and run lines for two hours tomorrow night. And I was kinda hoping to see The Grudge...not to mention work on at least one of my numerous WIP fics...
So, I think it's safe to say I should take a break from the Sims for awhile ^^;;
