There'll be a Sprita update very soon... tomorrow, I'm hoping. But for now, the Senregas are the family for which I have enough pictures for an update, so here they are! Last time, there were three kids in generation two, and the two girls -- Bianca and Abby -- kept poking each other.
Last update I think I said the hardest part of ISBI was making the kids do their homework. I lied. At least you get most of an entire Sim day to make them do that. The hardest thing is making them go to school. Between story times, refusing to get out of bed despite the radio being on... it's just too hard!
Bradley ALMOST didn't make it. But he made it.
And got bad grades. Bradley, let me put it this way: this is an ISBI, you're a teenager. Learn to autonomously do your homework, or fail. Your choice.
Abby brought a friend home from school... and played with her! Amazing.
Bianca, on the other hand, passed out.
Michelle, noticed something wrong yet?
Michelle: Yeah, I'm trying to read her this story, but she doesn't seem very responsive. What's up?
You know something? Radios are a godsend in ISBI challenges. We need one in every room!
TVs, on the other hand, are mostly annoying. Bradleyyyyyy, turn that TV off!
See that schoolbus in the background? Abby decided she didn't have to attend school that day. -_-
Bianca and Ti-Ning didn't DECIDE to miss school and work, they were just too absorbed in story time. >:O
This is how Bianca and Abby spent their day off -- poke wars!
Plus a little bit of taunting.
Mostly, though, it was just poking.
The poke war only ended when Bianca decided she was starving. By then, of course, a bowl of cereal was right behind them on the counter. You see how Abby is approaching the counter? She's trying to ensure that Bianca can't eat.
Bianca: HOW DARE YOU try to starve me to death?!
And then Bianca attacked!
Michelle: OMGGGGG I hope Bianca is OK :(
Ti-Ning: *sips coffee*
In case you were wondering, Bianca was OK.
Abby: =(
She tried to soothe her pain by making the beds...
...but this wasn't really successful.
So then Abby tried a bubble bath.
But that didn't really work either.
Bianca: HEY! I'm not done with you yet!
Abby: You're a big meanie! Stop it!
And then Bradley jumps in to save the day! Gooooo Bradley!
But as soon as Abby's game of red hands was over, Bianca launched right back into the poking. =|
Abby: WHY DO I KEEP LOSING FIGHTS?! DX
BIANCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bradley: Don't mind me, just running a bath~~
OK, you have lost all your good-big-brother cred.
2-0
Abby: BRADLEY, look at me!! Do you see how UPSET I am? LOOK AT ME, goddamn you!
Bradley: *is wilfully ignorant*
Abby DID go to bed, but Bianca woke her up with the radio. -_-
While Abby was confused about which bed she should sleep in now, Bianca turned OFF the radio...
...and attacked! Again! (Do you like how wilfully-ignorant Bradley is somehow managing to sleep through the fight enveloping his bed?)
Miraculously, Abby won.
She was very proud of herself!
Bianca wouldn't take that lying down, however, and attacked AGAIN.
And won again. Yes, they've been fighting the entire night by this point.
Poor Abby! =( She hasn't even started a single one of these fights.
And she's hungry.
And tired.
YOU ARE KIDDING ME.
4-1
Abby WAS going to school, but then she cancelled that action to cry about her losses.
Then she passed out.
I would have let her stay there, but she already had "terrible grades" and I was afraid that if she missed another day of school, she'd be failing and get herself and Bianca taken away to the orphanage. So I used her one command to get her to go to school. Well, uh, actually I had to issue two commands ("Wake Up" then "Go To School"), which is kind of cheating, but put it this way: I didn't want Ti-Ning's clone to be my only choice for heir.
She passed out the second she got home, though. I don't know why. Hasn't she heard of sleeping in class? Or on the bus??
She woke up, of course.
Abby: MY LIFE IS SO FUCKING HORRID I'M JUST GOING TO STAND HERE AND STRANGLE MYSELF TO DEATH!! SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT!
Me: Nooo! Abby! Life will get better!
Abby's not trying to use the broken computer -- she's trying to regain her breath after that little suicidal episode.
Then Bianca grew up, rolling Popularity. Teens can't attack children, so pay attention, Abby! Life is looking up!
I'm glad YOU TWO are best friends. Wut why do you leave out Abby?? Is it just because she doesn't have a name starting with the letter B like you guys do?
I gave Bianca a cool beanie that matches her clothes. XD
OH BOY. A fire!
Bianca quite reasonably decides to pummel some sense into her elder brother.
Oh great, a smustle dance! That would be totally acceptable if not for...
...THE SCHOOL BUS.
All three kids missed school again, AND Ti-Ning missed work. WTF, Sprita kids ALWAYS go to school autonomously. Why is it so hard for these guys?
Then the local criminal mastermind turned up and ran straight to dance in the bedroom o_O
And then everyone except Michelle, who actually made it to work, decided to have a party in the bathroom. No one was able to escape.
After many hours of intense battle, it was Abby who won the right to take a bath.
OMG, a promotion! I haven't seen one of these popups in a long, long time.
I don't think Bianca really wants to read Abby a story. I think she wants to beat her over the head with that book.
Bianca! Pay attention to your food when you're cooking it!
She didn't listen to me.
Bianca: I'M SO HUNGRY, GRRR! DO SOMETHING!
She decided to drink some refrigerated milk.
Michelle: HOW DARE YOU break our sink?!
Criminal Mastermind: Sorry, ma'am :(
Uhhhh. Criminal mastermind fail.
Bradley: You know... I'm kinda hungry, too...
I guess he was understating things a bit.
Michelle: Pleeeeeease, spare my son!
Grim Reaper: How about, uh, NO?!
Michelle: WTF, HOW DID I LOSE? WE HAD A 100/100 RELATIONSHIP!
Bianca: Why'd he take BRADLEY? Why not my little sister from hell??
I'm sorry, Bradley. =(
Everyone was very upset.
Ball of Stink moved in as Bradley's replacement, but it just wasn't the same.
Life went on, and everyone stopped crying, except Ti-Ning. He wasn't crying about Bradley any more, though; he was upset about how much of a failure he was as a Fortune Sim.
Oh boy -- Bianca and Abby playing catch? This'll be great!
Abby tried to get revenge on her childhood tormentor in every throw. And, for some reason, it was STILL beneficial to their relationship. IDGI.
The knowledge of his failure was too much for Ti-Ning, who regressed into a childlike state.
Abby grew up and became a teenager. She rolled Romance.
Bianca welcomes her adversary to her teenage years with a noogie.
Abby relatiates in a game of punch you, punch me.
...and adds an extra noogie in there, just for fun.
For some reason, though, the girls actually get along well these days. They are giving each other friendly hugs (!!) and even more remarkably ACCEPTING friendly hugs! What happened over the years to make these two hate each other less?
