I'm getting real good at playing the Sims a shitton, then forgetting about it entirely for MONTHS on end, then getting into it again, rinse and repeat. But we're back into it again now, so hey, time for a post.
Happily (?) not a WHOLE lot has gone on in my recent playing, so there's not 400 million pictures needing posted and confusing family tree shit to detangle and try to make sense of.
Last time I posted, my matriarch, Ilsa, had finally married the father of her three kids, Jaymes was slutting his way from one end of town to the other, and wee Layla had grown into a teenager.
Now, Isla and Tristan are still married (and constantly canoodling if I don't give them other things to do, which...is good, yeah? You kinda want your people to like each other). Jaymes has banged every maid to walk into the house, every day, male or female, and he's also tapped every pap (pap tap) that comes to lurk on the lawn. He's also banged his HS crush and, like, 8 other people. Having LLAMAS around town are SO FUCKING HANDY because people will throw down in a LLAMA without even thinking about it (you don't even have to be more than VAGUE acquaintances!), but if you try to shag in a bed they get all puritanical. So, yeah. Jaymes should probably have about 90 STDs (good thing those don't exist in video games!), but his Kama Simtra is off the charts, so while the boning on his end is pretty meh, for everyone he bangs it's like seeing the face of GOD. So it's a public service, really.
Layla went and grew up (shock, I know), and ended up marrying the cop (Woodrow? Wilson? His name started with W) who came to arrest a burglar that we had not super long afterwards. He's cute and Asian looking. So of course I never got a snap of him, but I got one of her.
Laaaaaaaayla!
I'm glad that her hair is a slightly different colour than everyone else in town. The blondes are really starting to take over.
I was going to do my usual thing and have her and Whatever have a kid THEN move out, but Ilsa got knocked up again and then there wasn't room for Layla to have a kid. Which sucks because I only let Ilsa get knocked up because I thought there WAS. Like, with the impending baby, there were only 6 people in the house. I SHOULD be able to have 8. But I guess the pets were sucking up those extra spaces, so none for them. :( Instead they just ended up moving off to a lovely home I built for them, taking the dog with them since Layla is a dog person and it was her dog.
Still no kids for them, though. :( They're still together.
With Layla and WhatsHisName moved out, Isla and Tristan had kid #5, another little girl named Yasmine.
And she's blonde. Shock. Amaze.
Yasmine pretty much just went along being a baby and then being a toddler. She learned to walk and all that regular stuff. It's not really all that interesting.
Then she grew up AGAIN.
It's like they just keep DOING that aging thing.
Right now she's still a kid (I know! We're not 20 generations down the line before I got around to posting again! I'm as shocked as the rest of you), and she's making friends with a little boy named Chris who she goes to school with. I'm hoping that she thinks Chris is the hot hotness when they get to be teenagers because, awhile back, I had Jer make a family for me to dump in my town, and the adult lady he made is Chris' mom. So my family would be intermarrying with the one he made! Neat!
Plus Chris is blue, so it'd be interesting to get some colour other than 'pale as fuck' in the family again.
MEANWHILE, just before Yasmine became a kid kid, Jaymes porking ways came back to haunt him.
Whoops?
Meet Brandie, Jaymes' little daughter.
So, yeah, okay, Sims can't actually accidentally fire off a baby into someone, but it's a better story if they could, you know? What happened was that Jaymes met himself a lady named Brandy (yeah), and he was ACTUALLY INTO HER, which is would be a goddamn first, if not for the fact that she was already married, SO OF COURSE he was into her. A wedding ring is the hottest thing anyone in this fucking family has ever seen.
Anyway, he's into her, she's into him, they head off into the LLAMA, and 3 days later little Brandie is born. And, come on, game, I knock up a Brandy so you have her name the kid 'Brandie'? What's that shit?
A couple days later I sent Jaymes over to have some time with his kid (no one was ever home prior, so I didn't know where to FIND the kid), and it turned out that they didn't even have a CRIB, so the little pink burrito baby is just laying on the FLOOR like an old sock. D: That's not gonna fly, so I popped into the cheat menu and added baby Brandie to my active family and brought her home with daddy. Now she's got THREE cribs to choose from, and, when she gets to be a kid, she can either share a room with Aunt Yasmine, or have a room of her own. That's way better than being dumped on the floor.
So more time passes, Brandie gets to be a toddler (as you saw), and Jaymes and Brandy happen to run into each other near a LLAMA again and, well....
I haven't gotten pictures of the twins, Gabriel and Douglas as yet, they're still burritos, but once they get to toddler, I'll get pics of them, too.
And you bet your ass I went back to that crib free house and 'adopted' them again. Which was actually a huge pain in the butt because, when I went over, only Gabriel was at home. Who the fuck knows where Douglas was, so I could only get one. Then I was worried that my house wouldn't have room for both of them (I couldn't get Layla to have a kid when there were 6 people in the house, but once I had Gabriel added in, I already had 7 people...), which would suck becase I would have had to split up the twins. D: again!
It took more than a day for someone to wander home with Douglas, but once he was back at mom's, I swept in and 'adopted' him, too. So my little twins are home and together and living the crib high life. AND they both totally have teddy bears to snuggle with, too. It's pretty sweet.
Only thing is...they're both human. I guess that's what you get when mom doesn't eat people.
