Amidst all this Ouroborosing, the Kreechurs were getting a bit neglected :(
So I had two chapters worth of material from the Kreechurs saved, and I decided it's better to just get it all posted before I forget what the hell happened in half the screenies... and bring us up to generation two succession... all in one fell swoop :D
BE WARNED DIAL UPPERS... ENORMOUS update of over 100 pictures pluuuussss HEIR POLL :O!!
In which we learn that American cheese is just weird looking man. No, seriously, just... what? How does it get that colour? D: Do they dye it? Do your cows produce some weird orangeing protein? I'm really confused :x
Hiii guys! Long time no see! Err... but I can't help noticing you're short a few. Loading screen decided to arbitrarily cull Edgar and the twins :(
The dude that had been playing piano for like a zillion years in my house last update is still at it, naturally. Seriously, his fingers must be like... BLISTERED by now D:
I managed to forcibly drag him away from the piano by calling him to a meal of grilled cheese cooked by our resident cheese fanatic Stubbs.
I still don't understand why the cheese in the states is orange or white. I would really love someone to explain it to me :( because in Australia, all our cheese is yellow! And in cartoons and stuff FROM the states it's yellow! So what gives :T
YAY CASH!
Except that like... I am lazy and never actually SPEND the cash. But the next generation of Kreechurs is going to have to move to a new place after this house, since a few things are getting buggy. SOOO we will consider it a nest egg for that day *steeples fingers*
Yeah the grilled cheese kept him away from the piano for all of like half an hour. I don't think he actually spoke to anyone during lunch either... he's just a piano hermit or something, seriously.
Nobody likes Otis Jnr :(
This wolf is like "WTF YOUR FACE *grrrowl!!*"
HEADMASTER TIEM! But... hey! What happened to Nawwaf Leelaporn T___T aww dude, he was our main man! Or at least our... occasional... headmaster... like twice... OKAY WHATEVER I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. Shane the headmaster. SHANE. How can he possibly compete :T
Even Ivy's greeting handshake seems a tad frosty...
Still, Morgana wants her youngest children in private school, so she gets to work on an epic turkey dinner for Shane, though looking appropriately peeved at the sudden and unexpected replacement of Nawwaf.
Morgana, less majikal posturing and more paying attention to the childrens'-future-affecting meal you're baking please! ^_^;;
Looks a bit undercooked to me... but oh well D: better than burnt? Actually idk, not with poultry... if you could I would have made her put it back in the oven for a bit XD
Still, they got in. Note Morgana's borderline-demented smile. :D I'm sure Vladimir is pleased, too, all sleeping in his coffin there.
Otis Jnr proves that he's not just really weird looking and creepy...
He's also a little PRICK! :T Picking on poor Stubbs. :(
I noticed that Ichabod had somehow developed a ten year old version of a beer belly D: So I put him to work trying to get rid of it.
That is a really, really uncoordinated skipping style O_O
Aww, Enid is really good with all the kids. If only she didn't waste all my groceries cooking 493743894 autonomous group meals every day which no one ever eats (the fridge has enough leftovers to last the whole household about A YEAR) then I would totally love her.
This freaking disturbing looking alien chick that Enid bought home talked with Enid long enough to become friends and apparently wasn't super impressed, but all of ONE CHAT with Ivy and she decides our resident plant sim is the coolest person she knows. >_>
I bet this is why. Mmmm spores of happiness. Hey, I reckon I'd think a sim who could make me feel totally awesome with one shake of their deliciously green head was pretty cool too.
The random xylophone music it plays while the little boys pee is SO RETARDED LOL >_< Also, note Ichabod is still fat after about FIVE HOURS of skipping non stop... his fitness bar only moved to the top of the 'fat' bracket :T
UMMM hi random fire???? O_O WTF is even burning? I see a firefly there... are the fireflies ON FIRE?? IRONY~~~
Enid to the rescue yeaaahhh!
The fire is doused in a matter of moments.
... and then Enid freaks the fuck out. Lol. Well, at least she didn't go the same way her flesh and blood fellows would have and freak out about it BEFORE actually doing anything to deal with it.
They adopted a cat :D This is actually one I bred myself in another house - his name is Mittens :3
Mittens is an ~~art critic~~
I guess currently the cool hang out spot is the kids' bedroom. Cos I don't even think you could FIT more sims than this in there...
Mittens: *adorables*
This really weirded me out! O__O I was like "what is Ivy DOING? What the, like... WHOOAAAA!" she whipped out a sponge and started scrubbing the window?? Since when do sims clean the WINDOWS of the house?
I guess the towel rail in Morgana's ensuite didn't meet up to Mittens demanding ~~art critic~~ standards.
I guess it was also made up of a lot more components than met the eye, like random chunks of particle board, pottery and wood...?
Mittens' implacable stare assures us that, yes, it HAD to go. It was, quite certainly, an affront to the stylistic overtones of this house.
Hi friend of Enid! Wow... he's actually... I mean if you look past the terrible haircut and square glasses, he's not bad! I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT. A random townie who's NOT BAD?? I feel like a tear just opened in the fabric of the universe DD:
Friend of Enid plays the piano, and Mittens decides to accompany him with a rousing vocal line. The sad thing is that Friend of Enid was SO BAD at the piano that the cat yowling was probably more tuneful D:
As she's getting older, Ivy's needs seem to be going down faster and faster O_O it's really weird. Like seriously, just a few sim hours for her sunlight bar to go from totally full to EMPTY. So she's spending a lot of time rushing outside to bask.
Woo! Useful children :D I love the little pleated skirt outfits for the girls, too <3
...
Yeah, if you can't tell, the computer just BROKE LOL. :T
Ichabod has worked his way up to SEVEN BODY POINTS and he's still freaking fat! This house is definitely buuuugged methinks :( And poor Ichabod has to be all chubs all his childhood it seems :(
GAH I keep trying to make Ivy sit near one of the solar lamp things because her sunlight bar is getting LOOOW but of course she starts rushing the fuck outside going "I NEED SUN".
It's NIGHT, you idiot >__<
No pity at all from me, Ivy, seriously :T
NO, STAY THERE. See that thing above you!?! LIFE GIVING ENERGIES RIGHT THERE!
SIIIIGH *gives up*
Yep, still working on it. You can't really tell from the photo, but he's skipping on HARD, still to no effect. >__>
Lol @ Friend of Enid though. He is a prettiful prettiful ballerina, yes he is!!
Guys, uh??? I know that the bathroom is looking snazzy again now that the towel rack is back, but... you don't think it's a tad weeeird that you're all kind of hanging around in there while two of you (who coincidentally have no romantic attachment AT ALL) are nude? Especially since Morgana is pretty much standing IN Vladimir. Like look at the feet position O_O.
Stubbs: OMG VLADIMIR IS NAKED I AM SERIOUSLY SHOCKED.
*facepalm*
Enid's incessant cooking was really giving me the shits, since the groceries were running out in a matter of two or three sim days and it was just getting retarded... so...
I turned her off.
:(
Ivy's needs panel is still being completely random. She managed not to die though, but even being in direct sun doesn't seem to do much for the sunlight bar >_<
Luckily our other light sensitive member of the household is... wait, WHAT THE????? Um, why is STUBBS sleeping in Vladimir's coffin during the day... where is Vladimir then?
Rather forlornly eating a plate of fish in the kitchen.
Vladimir: I seriously don't feel so good :( I'm all hungry, and tired, and I feel dirty, and I need to pee.. and D:
I'll give you a hint honey. It's a lovely sunny day! And you're a VAMPIRE. O_____O;;
Ichabod: Yeah I don't understand it either. I've tried Atkins, detox diets, Weight Watchers...
Don't worry Ichabod. We know you're not ACTUALLY a fatty. Just a hapless victim of Kreechur lot bug #84897054346
HOLY CRAP a pet bed in one of my sim houses ACTUALLY BEING USED BY A PET AND NOT A TODDLER. It's like... a world first XD
In an interesting turn of events, we find Vladimir watching over the sleeping form of his perennial stalker Stubbs. I guess he feels a bit lonely without that constant heart farting presence at his heels when Stubbs is off doing something else? O_O
SCHNOZ™
and you thought I'd forgotten :P
Ian is pretty adorable. His haircut sums up his personality pretty well. He's very neat, nice and polite, just as the well groomed sde part suggests XD
Sometimes I think Olivia is totally cute and I get really excited that Morgana and Vladimir finally produced a child who's NOT appalling... but then I take a screenie like this and I start fretting again D: PLEASE turn out pretty girly!!
Hmm, that expression doesn't seem quite congruous with the large amounts of smoke coming out of your toy oven there.
Ian: :D! I totally burnt the heck out of my muffin! :D~!
Ian: :D! Aww man it looks like crap..... :D
Yeah, maybe he's a little TOO nice and easygoing XD
Stubbs teaches Mittens to shake.
Stubbs: Shaake, Mittens! Shaake :D
Mittens: What in blazes, humanoid?! I do not comprehend your strange affectation...
But he soon learns :D
(I really want to get the red fur colour and the special collars, so I have to get someone into pet careers XD)
Wow, in the Ouroboroses I had a fireman dude who looked like a lady... and I have to say. This lady looks like a DUDE. A dude in a pink wig, but still decidedly... It's a MAN, BABY!!
Morgana shows why we love her so <3
Super powerful mad scientist sorceress... still a little girl at heart <3
Synchronised report card cheering kind of freaks me ooouttt :(
Also lol the first appearance of Edgar at all in this whole update >__< I'm not biased AT ALL, no really!
There's nothing witty or funny about this at all, I just thought it was a cute pic :) Ian petting Mittens. He's really such a nice boy :D
Yep, they're all totally still into hanging out in Morgana's ensuite. It's the back row of the bus for adult sims.
It took me THIS LONG to realise that the cute little girl the kids bring home from school every now and then is actually one of Amelia Hutchinson's kids. Probably because she's such a cute kid! Seriously, all of Amelia's kids came out INEXPLICABLY HIDEOUS AND TERRIFYING. D:
For example, this guy? Another of Amelia's kids... Zachary Hutchinson D: WRRYYYY
I suppose we have our own examples of pretty parents producing weird, weird offspring closer to home at the Kreechur house... >__> yyyyeah. Not naming any names, just leaving this caption RIGHT HERE. Under this pic. For like, no reason at all ...
Umm... I'm really sorry to admit it, but I have no idea which of the three alien boys this is XD but someone is so tired they decided to shove their head RIGHT THROUGH the couch pillow to get some peace and quiet in the hectic Kreechur house.
O.o You know... I think Otis Jnr's face is really designed to be pure mischief. Because, he actually looks kind of randomly cute with that super cheeky grin on his face, jumping around on Stubbs' bed with Olivia. Really, really loving the slippers too XD
Stubbs: Oh man, that small child's brains would be sooo tasty. UH, I MEAN... hi Ian :D? >_>
Ian totally has this "haha! OH, you silly zombie!" posture going on there as well :P
Welp, all I can say is I'm glad I'm not the only one with freaky kids in this neighbourhood :x
There's been a bit of a shortage of Vladimir in this update, so heeeere you gooo... sexy exiting-coffin-in-undies shot for the win XD
Kind of redundant due to the whole eternal youth thing but... yeah, he still got it :3
BUT UH OH! Someone else is not about to have 'it' for much longer methinks! It's finally elder transition time for Ivy :(
With a big bunch of family and friends around, it seems like a perfect way to celebrate to me! :D
Last look at Ivy's pretty, pretty adult face before...
Elder!Ivy. Well, there's a fair bit of cheek sag happening, but it could certainly have been worse!
OHSHI Stubbs you are IN!
I am so tempted to actually snag Amelia for him XD except that I think she has 9 kids, with the "have ten children" want locked, and zombie can't quite do that for her... maybe once she's sorted out that tenth baby XD
Yay someone had a rocking birthday bash :D
Mittens is learning more tricks, and being super cute in the process. Despite the major scowl that all the smushed face cats have.. in the game AND real life lawl...
Then newly elder Ivy, and Mittens, go off for a hike.
(for some reason this pic fully reminds me of that photo in the end movie cutscene in Fallout 3, where the wanderer and Dogmeat are like walking off into the distance... >_> Yeah I'm not a geek AT ALL, nope)
Yope, Vladimir, I know it's been a long time, but vampirism DOESN'T just wear off. So yeah, you still totally burn in the sun... no matter how many times you test this out, it's not going to just magically change :T
Stoopid ass vampire.
HAHA. Poison Ivy was probably all "wtf bitch, you steppin on MY TURF :T"
whhaaaa birthday time AGAIN!!
No party for the quads... hence just like... their mum and their 'aunt' (not at all by blood but may as well be really). I'm sure the average tween would just LOVE that, amirite? XD
Ellen! I really love her face from the front I have to say XD she's cute as a button
Edgar... still has kind of weird features to my eye. The mouth is just a bit big to go with his dainty little nose and small eyes or something?
Ian... TERRIBLE transition outfit, but really cute :D
And Ichabod! Definitely one of the most unsual and interesting looking sims I have around the place. Still undecided if that's a good or a bad thing though :x
And yeah, the SCHNOZ™ is definitely here to say in both of them XD AH WELL!
To make some room in the really pretty overcrowded Kreechur house, the quads get packed off to uni straight away
(Ugh, BOTH of those transition outfits are just godawful XD)
Pretty much the perfect place to be for a grizzled old plant methinks! Wandering around in a daytime rain storm. Oh god and I forgot to change her back out of the horrible default plant sim outfit O__O;;;; so apologies for the spastic elf look...
Otis Jnr: Spelling is haaaard T^T
Well, luckily, you won't have to worry about that for very much longer... because...
It's TOTALLY YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO NOW!!
Yeah, I took what... two pictures in that whole day between the two birthdays? :x slack, that is me, okay?
Another pretty low key event... I am pretty much REALLY KEEN to get on with generation two XD so there were no time wasting parties this time around. However...
I do need a close up of this! XD EEEEE ADORABLE <3
:O really impressed by their PERFECTLY SYNCHRONISED candle blowing out skills. Normally the kids kind of stand around watching each other aimlessly and eventually get around to blowing out their own candles at some unspecified moment. So this was really cool :D
Otis Jnr is... not THAT creepy, amazingly. Still pretty like.. uhh... yeah :( Let's say there's certain eccentricities going on with that face that don't quite work for me? >_>
And Olivia... is... CUTE! Oh man, please please last into adulthood XD not that I'm really you know, rooting for anyone in particular to be heir or anything. Gawds no >_> :P
And the twins were also packed off to college, to join the other Kreechur kids... and just in time for....
THE HEIR POLL!
*DUN DUN DUNNNN*
So! Ladies and gentlemen, that time has come :)
Please to be voting for your favourite of the Kreechur spawn ^^ just post which one you like best in your reply :D if you have two favourites, totally okay to list both HAHA. If you don't have a livejournal account - I know there are at least a few people who read it and don't have one - feel free to let me know over messenger or something which one you like... your vote can still be heard >:O!!
ALL RIGHT --- run down time! In order of age :D
Sorry - I didn't have many photos of the eldest two, since I already dropped them out of college. I posted pre and post makeover photos of the youngest six, and side profiles of those who have slightly unusual side profiles. Ian and Edgar look totally normal from the side, so I skipped them.
