Another Sunday, another Gorey update! Last time, Friedrich, our illustrious founder died immediately after moving into a new less-buggy house on a new less-buggy lot. Breanna got fired from her dream job in the Journalism career and Epergne attempted to throw her mack down on a few random guys, though she was blocked in her attempts by her live-in boy toy Hobart.
Epergne often forgets she is a Romance Sim, and interacts with her nephews frequently. Or, maybe she's feeling extra maternal due to her pregnancy.
Being pregnant means she's sleeping and eating at odd hours. But hey, nice shot of the kitchen!
Hobart is moving on up at his job in the Business career track. No pirate suits at work for him!
Invisible baby pop! (No pregnant/fat morph on that outfit's mesh... sigh...)
There, now Epergne is visibly knocked up. And apparently pleased about it. (Sure, the outfit includes high heels and nail polish, two things you aren't supposed to wear when you're PG, but eh, she's made of pixels.)
Since Epergne has time off from work for her baby-makin', and Hobart isn't home, she wastes no time going after a guy who walked by the house. His name is Talin. No, I'm not kidding.
Epergne finally remembers she's a Romance sim and manhandles the guy... her lifetime want is to have 20 simultaneous loves. She's working on #3 here.
She's willing to ignore her pregnancy to attempt to get him in the sack, even!
It doesn't work.
Talin: Uh, that's not my kink, lady...
But he falls in love with her anyway! Only 17 more to go. Kill me now, please...
And Epergne gets some hawt makeouts anyway, despite her delicate condition. She's pretty thrilled about it.
Hello, random child who came home with the twins from school!
These? These are birthday cakes for the twins. Legacy rules state you need to have cakes for birthday transitions for them to count. WITNESS THESE CAKES, AND MARK THEM WELL!
Here is Dawbis, transitioning in the stairwell. MILES AWAY FROM THE DAMN CAKE.
Now he's a teenager! With hands!
And here is Snedleigh, who also transitioned in the stairwell (confetti all over those risers, what a mess...). Also, completely ignoring the perfectly good $30 cake he had in the kitchen.
Damn these kids, wasting cake. There oughta be a law.
Here is Dawbis, post makeover. I think he's pretty cute, myself. He rolled the Popularity aspiration, and his lifetime want is to Become an Icon.
And Snedleigh, taking after the nerdier of his two moms. Also, cute in a Harry-Potter-esque way. He rolled Fortune, and his LTW is to Become the Law. I think this means he is going to grow up to be
Judge Dredd!
Hobart suspects nothing from his baby-mama...
Again with the eating at odd hours of the night. Oh how I miss cheating to keep the pregnant lady's motives high. Rassin' frassin' Legacy rules.
The twins are still pretty friendly, as brothers go.
Dawbis is a little obsessed with his own good looks though. He goes to check himself out at the drop of a hat.
Breanna is still unemployed. She's waiting to get back into the Journalism field.
Hobart is a very attentive father-to-be. It's kind of adorable.
Epergne finally sits down for some sustenance...
Only to be interrupted by her third trimester, arriving in a poof of pink dust and a set of hideous default jammies!
The boys are both extremely conscientious about cleaning up after themselves. Completely unlike NORMAL HUMAN TEENAGERS, OMG.
With her enormous baby-bump keeping her home from work and no cute guys walking by outside, Epergne has to amuse herself in other ways.
Default face templates, I KNOW I installed you CORRECTLY. And yet, this happens. (I know, I know, I didn't start with clean neighborhood templates, I have to wait for more people to die off...)
Dawbis is keen to get his first kiss, so this girl is elected. Everyone, say hi to Nancy Philippine.
They don't particularly get along, but hey, teenagers. Any port in a storm, am I right? At least she finds him attractive...?
Dawbis prepares to make his move.
WHAT'S THIS?! Friedrich has appeared from beyond the grave, weeping about his untimely end!
And BAM! Take somma that! No first kiss for you, Dawbis! Instead, you get to be terrified by the phantom of your dead grandpa appearing through your teenage crush!
Meanwhile, Naenae is floating around in the backyard. In the dark.
Since Embley is maxed on almost all her skills, she fixes things around the house. Like the dishwasher her zealously neat sons have broken.
And a close up on Embley, because she is still super-cute and because she hasn't had much interesting happen this update.
Hobart is still doting on Epergne. He's a Fortune/Family sim, so it kind of makes sense?
Embley maxes Charisma, and thus earns a buttload of aspiration points.
Oh, hey, Epergne, how you doin'?
AIEEEE LABORS! Right in the hallway, too. Well, you can't tell when a baby's ready to come out.
And voila! It's a baby girl! Consulting the Big List Of Edward Gorey Names and randomly selecting, she is christened Zillah.
Sadly, Friedrich and Epergne's skintone does not pass on. Zillah also has her dad's blue eyes and her mom's black hair.
And that's enough for now. Not a massive update, but an update. Three in three weeks, shoot, I don't even know how I am doing it!
As always, thanks for reading!
