Dare 007 - Veronaville Asylum (Week 4)
Last time -
Bianca started losing fights
The residents had a sucky New Year's party
I tried new skintones
Love was in the air - and then it wasn't
Bianca died a little bit, Oberon died a lot. Like permanently a lot.
I don't have a eulogy prepared or anything.
My new lot loading screen. Looks all wide and open without Oberon standing in the middle, totally blocking view of Albany and Goneril.
As predicted, The Stalker turns all her attention to Kent. There are no distractions, like an inconvenient fiance, in the way.
The Week 3 statue was the bunny. I had to post that because I know there are hundreds of lurking readers out there who were sorely disappointed not to see what end of week statue they got.
I'm pretty sure it's still spring. Kent is doing a bang-up job of looking after their fruit trees.
They got a new tree in place of the burned down one. Not a palm this time.
The Stalker continues to make herself more appealing to Bianca. As if she didn't hate you enough, Stalker!
And she continues to do what she does best, ie. stalk Kent. Hungry, reeking and thinking hateful thoughts at Bianca.
She also gets a taste of her own medicine, as others start flocking around giving her hobby tips.
Another fight. Bianca seems to be having a good time.
The Stalker, on the other hand, is not as amused.
Kent continues to work on his Logic skill.
Bianca lost again???
I'm thinking they've been swimming quite a bit with the nice weather so the other two probably have more body points than her.
So I sent Kent into the pool and had him call her in :)
What goes around, comes around.
These two are still at it like love struck teenagers. If they're not kissing somewhere inconvenient, they're polluting the hot tub water.
I turned risky woohoo down to 0% and turned off Try For Baby.
The Stalker burns every meal she prepares.
I was following around Kent who was doing a spot of gardening outside when I saw what I at first thought were butterflies inside.
Whose Social Bunny are you?
I see... You're Patrizio's Bunny. He made best friends with The Stalker right then and the Bunny seemed to disappear, or at least I didn't see anything else indicating Social Bunny presence.
I have no idea why Patrizio is hating on Kent. He's done nothing wrong.
Kent did this on his own. At least Bianca appears to be receptive :)
And The Stalker immediately went for the throat. Sheeesh!
Yeah, Kent, I've no idea when you became hottest property in town, either!
Getting advice from these two is bad karma. Especially when they're telling you how to become the least popular person in town!
PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPSLOCK BUT - MY FIRST NATURAL ABDUCTION EVARRRR!!!!!!
I had just sent him outside, it was 10:41 pm. I even have a screen cap showing this! So much for the "stargaze for hours and your sim will get abducted in the wee hours of the morning" theory! He was stargazing, too, not summoning them or searching for planets or UFOs. I wanted to minimise his chances of abduction so I went with straight "Stargaze!!!"
Kent: If I wave at them, they'll see they made contact and maybe they'll go away!
Kent: Two hands! What if I wave at them with two hands!?!?!?!
Kent: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!111
Kent: Oh, crap! I'm losing grip!
And since last week's update was totally missing one, I give you the totally ultimate Kent's arse up in the air picture!
Goneril noticed. Albany didn't.
Goneril: Albany! Hot tub! NOW!!!
The Stalker didn't notice.
Neither did Bianca, who calmly headed for the shower.
What is it about special events that makes sims horny? Every birth, wedding, birthday, move out, etc, they go running for the nearest woohoo spot. It's uncanny. Amelia and Alex Darcy used to do it, too.
These two, on the other hand... Just fight over the object of their horniness.
Several fights later the UFO came back.
Only these three came running out. No idea what happened to the other three. Possibly sleeping - I was too busy to go looking for them.
The aliens were so keen to get rid of Kent they tried to shove him through the bulkhead.
When that didn't work, they kicked his patootie out the door.
He bounced! LOL
Why is Albany so excited? Aren't Family sims supposed to whine and grind their teeth at the prospect of aliens?
Maybe I gave him a secondary aspiration of Knowledge. I set them all up on a different lot before moving them into this house.
Kent: OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!????!!!!
Kent: That landing made my arse a bit sore.
Kent: Oh, hey, wait! I didn't land on my arse! I faceplanted in the concrete!!!!111
Kent: Good God NO!!!!!!
Kent: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!111!!!oneoneoneleventy!!!!
Kent: YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!!
Kent: I don't even want to think about it.
Kent: What's Bianca going to say????
And then the UFO left.
It's barely been conceived and this kid is already in trouble!
Since I was playing with sound turned off I checked with ACR. My new Multi PT hack appears to be working :)
I don't have any lighting hacks or anything, I just placed outdoor lamps around his feet with moveobjects on. Also, I figure this picture totally makes up for the lack of nictitating membrane eyes in the Week 3 update.
Bianca: It wasn't quite what I expected based on what I had seen on War Of The Worlds and Independence Day.
Bianca: But it was sexy as hell!!!
Kent: Mmmmpppppfffftttt? (Translation: I guess you don't mind about me being butt probed then?)
The yard was so bad that it finally got to Albany. You may have noticed that the sunflowers weren't around the hot tub before. They got overgrown and I don't have the perfect plants hack so I had to take them out so they could be trimmed. And they just never got put back.
The Stalker keeps trying it on. Seriously, of all the stuff hanging around the place, all the posters, paintings, plaques, etc, this is the only one that gets looked at, only by The Stalker and by Bianca, and only when Kent is sleeping in the bed.
WTF??? Her fiance is DEAD!!!!
Bianca announced that she'd had a lousy week. I wonder why?
Invisi-pop!
And then he passed out in his sparkly soup.
Goneril just saw more of her father than she ever wanted to see.
Kent maxed Charisma at some point (I missed the pic opprtunity) and is now working on his Cooking skill.
Also - fight.
That night Bianca attacked Titania and suddenly Oberon appeared! I hadn't even noticed him come out of his urn.
I guess she has secondary Knowledge aspiration, too...
Bianca then slapped Titania and Oberon went for her again!
I guess you need to stay away from The Stalker on the nights her avenging hero is out, B!
Oberon then briefly haunted his own urn. And then....
FUCK! NOT AGAIN!
I guess she was in the kitchen because she was hungry and seeing a ghost twice in an hour totally depleted her hunger bar...
On your knees, boy!
You're not looking like you're sure about this whole thing Kent. Be sure!
Bianca: Is dead. Again.
Kent: Wins!
Grimmy: Loses!
Albany: Oh, Mr Mirror! We found the perfect spot to stand again!
This animation is just a wee bit on the freaky side...
Bianca: BFF!
Kent: I know we live in the same house, but call me!
SCORE!!!
Finally :) I don't know why but I have it in my head that these two HAVE TO be together.
So then Oberon decides to go after Kent.
Just a lazy Thursday morning. As Kent bones up on "Cooking without knives in an environment full of unstable people", Bianca carves her deepest darkest sekrits in her diary.
Bianca: Oh, crap! It's that psycho chick that I fight with all the time! She's seen my diary!
Yep, looks like she saw what you wrote about her, B!
I took out my window-opening hack. Seems it might not be compatible with one of my EPs or maybe not M&G because pets kept throwing errors so I couldn't get a wolf onto the lot and when I looked at the error log the pets were erroring because of the windows.
Toxic Gyna here doesn't even pretend like there's a shower in the house. She just uses the sink every time.
The Stalker: Kent, I just wanted to repeat my offer to help you with the soap.
That merging looks thoroughly indecent!
Kent: Oh, so that's how you stuff a turkey!
He wasn't showing in his regular clothing so I got him some of those BV clothes with pregnancy morphs.
The oranges are starting to look delicious. First non-bland crop!
Finally, Bianca finds something positive about The Stalker.
Surprise! Someone is looking out the window while Kent is sleeping.
See? TASTY oranges.
Then I sent Kent fishing for dinner and he went into labour.
The girlfriend, the brother-in-law and the potiential-mother-in-law arrived swiftly.
It's a boy! His name is Brent. If you don't know why then you don't know Trek.
Yes, it is a baby.
Indeed, even the two latecomers are left with no doubt as to the babiness of the baby.
Where's Goneril?
Brent's little corner of the Herr Freud room. I moved the bed that was under the poster.
Not autonomous, but still cute.
He was stuck for several hours there. It was one of those epic fights.
Yes, but are you going to stick to that resolution, B?
The Stalker is getting more pathetic by the hour. Not only did she burn yet another meal, but she ended up bring the serving plate into the TV / study room. This is the first time this has happened. They ALL serve meals on the kitchen counter!
Just a father-son pic. I keep seeing comments by people saying that they won't post pictures of babies because they all look the same. I do it, too, so I am also to blame but there's something kind of nice about this picture.
That resolution didn't last long, did it, B?
I think he's got it, Titania! He has a bajillion more mechanical skill points than you do.
And then Bianca offers to help him with the soap...
Sorry about the walls down but I have given up on trying to do all bathroom pictures with walls up. They're both so small, I have trouble navigating because I keep forgetting to put back Gunmod's camera hack and the Maxis camera is not very good at taking those sorts of shots.
More baby :) I think I need to make my own baby diaper / nappy replacement.
Who woulda thunk it? The bed has moved and so has the window the ladies look through!
You so do not see the sunflowers through that window! They're behind the house and you're looking towards the front!
Albany is the other one, apart from The Stalker, who burns every single meal he serves.
It's uncanny. Nobody else burns the food, just those two.
Oh, look. The most ignored activity on the entire lot is suddenly popular. I didn't know you ladies were fishing enthusiasts!
Then the tree and the light both got struck by lightning. The figure on the left is Bianca - she has just finished stomping and complaining about being unable to get to the fire. The figure on the right is Titania mid-stomp.
Thankfully the fire was contained to just that little area made inaccessible by the pond and the rain put out the fire.
The new loading screen. Please note who is holding Brent.
Titania is a delight in the morning.
And then it was Sunday and I realised that aging was off and Brent was going to stay a baby forever so I turned aging back on and used debug mode to set him to birthday.
One of these things is not like the other, one of them is not the same....
The Stalker promptly tries to get to Kent through his son.
But Bianca won't be outdone!
Awwww.... He already likes her :)
And then they fight. The last three pics were, literally, a sequence of events on Sunday night, one happening within sim!minutes of the other.
Isabella becomes fit.
Bianca continues her nocturnal playground activities. For some reason I always catch her playing when it's dark.
Brent has a lovely personality. He is going to be a delightful child.
Please excuse the badly Photoshopped chin but I hate those teeth-sticking-out-through-the-chin glitches.
He's kind of cute, though.
In an evil, Tonberry-abusing, sort of way.
And he inherited Kent's nose! And he has ELF EARS! <3
THE END!
Well, end of Week 4, anyway.

If all goes well, there should be just one more update of the Veronaville Asylum. I've had such a love-hate relationship with this Asylum, I'm really rather proud of myself for not ditching it.
116 pictures under the cut.
Warnings: swearing and body merging in a non-Biblical way.
