Sims Post!
So it's been forever since I did a Sims post, and going through my photos from the last SEVERAL days, I have realized why.
Because NOTHING is happening in this house. It's all 'rawr, build skills! *whip crack* Write more books! *whip crack* Interact with your children so they have at least one friend! *whip crack*', and, frankly, spending 6 hours watching Arkady play the guitar to go up | | this much in his skill is MIND NUMBING. I probably should have popped into the game, set needs static, and made them better at things and THEN started firing out kids, but hey, life doesn't work like that, so why should the game?
Last time we all sorts of had a baby impending, so this time we all sorts of have a baby existing!
Meet Caspien, he's an artistic bookworm. Or, you know, will be. Right there he's just a wiggly worm baby.
So little happened between Caspien being born and becoming a toddler that I didn't take ANY screenshots. Not a one. Even Arkady looks bored with this whole thing.
Oddly enough, like five seconds after having Caspien, both Arkady and Byron popped up the desire to have a kid with each other, which, damn, sort of harsh. I mean, what do they thing Caspien is? A wee blue burrito? Some sort of interloper? A spy?
But, even though it seemed kinda mean, who am I to deny an instant bump of 5000 lifetime reward points? AND, who am I to deny myself the chance to find out if instigator = sperm donor with this mod?
Yep, instigator = daddy. Enjoy your ass baby, Arkady.
Of course now I want to go into a M/F family and have the woman instigate to see if it's a cross gender bit of modding (cause that would be sort of fun) or if it's just gay couples that do it that way. So. Tempted.
Anywho, being pregnant meant that this time it was Arkady's turn to be stuck at home all the time (though he got to have a body since I got some clothing for him, and Byron's body did come back after I had him change back into normal clothing), so since it's dull to sit at home, I had him take CHILD Caspien (I told you nothing was happening) to the park so he could busk and Caspien could run some of the stink off him. Which he did.
By playing tag is a vampire.
Call me crazy, but I think that having the power of celerity is just a TINY bit of an unfair advantage when it comes to playing tag, don't you? I mean, come on, that guy is a blur! A blur and a leg. Apparently vampires really like playing tag (because they like playing with their food?), so Caspien and that guy were best chums by the end of the day. Awww, friends.
Home again, put dear Caspien to bed and went to play some chess with the hubs (Build skills! *whip crack*) when, uh oh, baby time again!
Yellow. Ugh.
Honestly, I don't remember Arkady freaking out so hard when Byron went into labor. He was just like 'hmm, think I'll read a book. Oh, first born on the way? Guess I'll head to the hospital then, la di da.' Meanwhile Byron is pitching a complete and utter wig over the whole thing. Maybe it's cause he's been there and knows what Arkady is in for.
A bit of time passes, and we welcome new baby Dexter into the house, officially making my Sim house one giant sausage fest.
Cause, what, it'd kill ya to have a girl?
Dexter is insane and brave, and will later gain daredevil in his list of traits as well. Fun times.
Meanwhile, thanks to his job in the music industry and hobnobbing with celebs every minute of every workday, Arkady has been FLINGING up the celeb ranks like it's going out of style. Of course, being famous isn't his passion in life. His passion is chess, which means I have to keep inviting ranked chess players over for a game (which, honestly, is just annoying), and sometimes it turns out that those chess opponents are paparazzi.
He's just watching TV! How is that tabloid fodder?
I think like three of the people I've had to invite over were paps, which meant that I had to get them in, gamed, and out again right quick, because otherwise they'd just stand around my house all day snapping photos, which made me a little uncomfortable. Even more so when Byron kept wanting to flirt with them. I know your celeb level isn't as high as Arkady's, Byron, but seducing the paps isn't really going to help.
More chess, more skills, la di da, and BAM, out of nowhere Dexter is a toddler.
Life...flashing past me....
Also, please to be noting Byron's sweet work uniform. Hawt.
At least Dexter is cute, for a little bald kid.
In the meantime, Dexter wasn't the only one growing up, and Caspien turned into a hormonal teenager before I even got a chance to take any decent photos of him as a kid. First act as a teenager? Attempt to seduce school friends.
So coy!
Sadly Caspien's attempt to get some play from the neighbour boy didn't go well, which made me sad cause I was kinda hoping that the mpreg mod I got also added a little more realism to kinky relations. I mean, yeah it's a good idea to know someone before you go licking their tonsils and blah blah blah, but we all know that doesn't happen. Sometimes you're just sitting on the couch, hanging out with someone that you kinda know, and it seems like a good idea and you go for it. But nooooo. Sims land means that you still have to be bff-4eva! to mack on someone. Damn. So Caspien just ended up getting shot down and sulking home.
Not to be one to stay home and lick his wounds forever, Caspien called up one of the girls from school for a nice little lunch date and got right back on that horse.
Of course things were a little weird when they realized they had the exact same haircut, but hey, could be worse, right?
Next time: Arkady and Byron get old. I might managed to remember to take a couple snaps of Dexter as a kid. Caspien continues living his horrible sweatshop life of writing and painting every minute of every day. Someone might die? A lifetime wish MIGHT be fulfilled? Or it'll just be boring as sin and the kids will have kids and I'll forget to take pictures of them, too. I guess we'll find out.
