The Gorey Legacy: Part 19
I still had some snaps uploaded to my Photobucket site that I hadn't gotten to yet; hence we have an update of lost Sims left for your reading enjoyment. It's enjoyment that will be tempered with sadness though, since not one of these Sims survived the Massive Hard Drive Meltdown of Doom. Alas!
Let's start with some cute toddler spam, since that's cheerful. Zillah is all about the activity table. Dozens and dozens more pictures under the cut...
Yeah, Dawbis, I'd say he's in your way. But hello, he is using the can, a little privacy maybe?!
Hobart gets demoted, because I am terrible at chance cards. He's also gotten fat. Again.
Fish are more interesting than one's own progeny, apparently.
Hobart is forced to work out. Dawbis is just dancing, because that is what he does. And ZIllah is dancing too! Eeeee, cute!
Adorable! I have never had a toddler dance before in game. Don't ask me how that happened.
What's this? Epergne giving her child attention? Hooray!
Snedleigh is obsessed with that tea table. Actually, everyone in the house is obsessed with it.
Hobart: My baby's mama sure is hot!
Embley gets stuck with the toilet training duties, and is obviously thrilled about it.
I still think she's awfully pretty. How boring of me!
Jumping out of bed into hideous default jammies? Oh, whatever could be happening, Epergne?
Yep, baby pop. Again.
Embley is tasked with teaching Zillah to talk.
Oh ladies, don't tell me you're already experiencing lesbian bed death...
Cousin Lizzia comes home from school with Snedleigh. In a dodgy clothing choice. That top is so 1996.
Strangely, perhaps because they are related, Snedleigh actually pays attention to his guest. Unusual!
Hobart earns some money. Go Hobart!
Ah, a pleasant family meal.
Hobart teaches Zillah how to walk.
The kids hang out in the kitchen, talking about that crazy baroque music that's been making the teenagers scream. Oh that Beethoven, what a rebel!
Dawbis? He spends a lot of time checking himself out.
Embley fixes things when they break. She's maxed out, and is less likely to be electrocuted to death! (Otherwise, it would be Epergne due to her tinkering hobby, but I wasn't about to risk a pregnant woman...)
Snedleigh: Moooooooom, what's for dinner?!
Embley: Lobster stuffed with tacos!
Oh Embley, I am disappoint. Why must you make the most expensive food autonomously?!
Meanwhile, Epergne is now as big as a house.
Embley: So.... are you planning to ignore this baby too, and force the rest of us to raise it...?
Epergne: Man, this is the best pop-tart I've ever had! Mmmm, mmmmm!
Embley: ....
Hobart and his daughter are best friends, however. He dotes on her.
Witness the doting!
He adores Epergne, too. He's just a regular dude, Hobart is.
In other news, Dawbis' ego is now over 9000.
Embley! AGAIN, with the lobster?! *shakes fist*
Epergne just can't stop staring at those fish.
Embley: Yeah, it's not like she ever feeds them or cleans the tank, oh hell no!
Ah, every baby's favorite story: the one about the toilet!
Epergne boogies down.
And *gasp*, pays attention to Zillah! Alert the media!
Dawbis is finally given a piano again, to give him something to do other than admire himself.
Bathroom labor! Well, at least there's easy to clean tile in there...
Hobart, in the grand tradition of Sim fathers, comes to be ineffectual.
It's a boy! He is named Yorick.
Everyone is pleased!
He has his dad's eyes... and blond eyebrows?! Uh, what?!
Motherhood a second time pushes Epergne over the edge, and she mauls poor Talin on the street.
Epergne: Oh my god, what am I doing?! I just had a baby!
Doesn't stop her from immediately chatting up the next guy who walks by.
Annnnnd, makeouts. I am not 100% sure, but I think this guy is named Nathen.
Breanna is left to manage with the baby. And, she does a poor job of it, I might add, judging by the lines of stink coming off the kid.
Snedleigh finally finds a girl he can try to snog. One that's not his cousin. Or in college. He looks awfully smug about it.
And Pamela Gothier becomes his first kiss.
They're totally crushing.
Zillah grows up suddenly, without the benefit of a cake. Poor ignored thing.
Embley: Wait, when did that happen? She was a toddler before I came upstairs!
The family is getting large enough to be somewhat chaotic. Especially when they get all in one fairly small room, like the nursery.
Zillah has nine Active points, so she is always jumping rope, or running, or doing something outside.
Unfortunately, this means she catches her mom exhibiting her cheaty ways!
Zillah: Dad, you gotta do something about Mom, or I predict terrible things will happen!
Hobart looks pretty nonplussed about the whole affair.
Zillah becomes a bit clingy after that. She demands attention and hugs from everyone *except* her mom.
Epergne is blithely unaware that her daughter is upset with her, or why she might be. She continues to entertain gentlemen callers in her boudoir.
Embley gets LTW #2, and is now a celebrity chef.
While Snedleigh obsessively took care of baby Zillah, Dawbis is all about baby Yorick.
Snedleigh surprises me by flipping out Naenae-style on the sofa.
Zillah: STARES
Rodney: Well, this is awkward. I'm out!
Breanna: Well, Zillah, adults can be complicated... you'll understand when you're older...
At least Embley is willing to dance with Zillah to take her mind off her mom's poor parenting.
That's all for now. There's one more batch of pictures left to do, and then this iteration of the Goreys will disappear into the big Sim-Bin in the sky. I've got a new Gorey Legacy founder made up, and have started playing her story (Epitwee Gorey, a long-lost distant cousin of Friedrich Gorey...), so she will get her time to shine once this is finished up.
I'm still kind of peeved that my hard drive was unsalvageable, but what can you do? Just have to move on! Thanks for reading, as always.
