Hey, all! Welcome back to The Cinema WYDC! Where we left off, baby George (Clooney) was born and filled the household up, and there were multiple birthdays, and stuff and such. Yes.
This chapter's pictures are smaller because, to be honest, I can't be assed to adjust them - after having spent nearly seventeen hours on the computer today (from 5:30 AM, choosing my courses, until now D:), I really don't want to spend much more time doing this update than necessary. /rant
Anyway, enjoy!
The girls continue to prove their helpfulness by getting after school jobs to contribute to the family fund - never mind that Thea doesn't have a job. At any rate, America got a job in the dance career track, and Blake in the culinary.
I'm so jealous of her swimsuit. It's getting serious love from me.
I love teens. I think I previously undervalued them, but this challenge is highlighting their inherent worth: free gardeners.
And childcare providers. America taught George almost all of his skills - everything except for toddler training...
...which Thea stepped in and took care of, naturally.
Poor Blake, my little pleasure sim, was looking to flirt with someone, and Amy Jones the paper girl was the first person to walk on the lot. After chatting her up for a little bit, Blake got her flirt want. I thought about making them a couple, but Blake wasn't able to call Amy later on in the day so it was a no go D:
Speaking of calling, Thea's been working up her relationship with the next baby daddy. Want to see who it is?
College Komei (also known as Brady Tang)! I started this challenge with a goal to use a lot of the townies and NPCs that I've been too afraid to use before, which included both Goopy and Komei. Unfortunately, neither of them have showed up on the lot - but both of their doppelgangers have. So I'm making do with what I've got.
So, what's Thea's verdict on her next partner?
Thea: Nope. No. Nuh-uh. No way. He's icky!
Aren't you a gem?
Despite Thea's initial protests, the two got off to a good start since they were already friends from when they talked on the phone.
That isn't to say they didn't hit a few speed bumps...
Brady: No, you may NOT kiss my hand! What kind of man do you think I am?
But soon enough they were back on track.
Um... whut?
Let me explain: this townie (his name is Rodney Jung) has been walking by the lot a half a dozen times, and every time I want to greet him (because he's adorable), I'm just a little too late. When Thea and Brady were getting to know each other, Rodney walked by and I was like "SIEZE THE DAY AND ALL THAT STUFF!" so Thea ran up to say hello to him... and this was her greeting. For a guy she doesn't even know.
They then proceeded to do this while Brady watched on (though, because it's a gesture and not a kiss it didn't affect him).
And this was farewell. All the while I was just WTFing behind my computer screen.
Speaking of unorthodox ways to greet and say goodbye to a stranger, America met Alvin Futa, who's actually a four bolt match for her. While they greeted each other the way sims normally greet strangers...
Their parting was a little too friendly for two sims who don't know each other. Weird. I think there's something in the water at Casa Cinema.
Promotions! Both of the girls were promoted in their respective fields, but I didn't think to jot the job titles down because I care so little. The only thing that's interesting about this is that they're bringing in more money.
Back to Thea and Brady now! I had to send him home for a little while, to avoid being caught by all the kids as they returned from school (and later work), but when he came back hours later, Thea picked things up where she'd left off.
And soon they were in love, and it was time to head upstairs.
Except then I realized that would be pointless, because there isn't any room in the house. So Thea and Brady shared that awkward moment...
Brady: I'm gonna sex you up good, woman!
Thea: Hey, about that... I have a headache, I'm tired, I'm PMSing, I'm actually on my period, I have to take care of the kids, so not tonight. KTHXBYE.
Brady: ...What just happened here?
George spam, because it's necessary!
Hope you don't get too sick of it, because there's like ten photos of him and Thea below this caption! :]
So cute <33
Someone's full of themselves...
Birthday time! Today it's a double birthday for Cam and George! :D
And of course I couldn't organize a synchronized age-up to save my life.
Anyway, here are Cameron and George - and they're both gorgeous! I could just fawn over George all day, and Cam is so pretty. :D
Stat time!
Cameron Cinema
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Become Rock God
Personality: 1/1/10/10/10
Turn Ons: Underwear, red hair
Turn Off: Blonde hair
Hobby: Tinkering
It's that time, now: since Cam's a teen, I'm moving these three out to college. So say goodbye to America, Betty, and Cameron - at least for now!
And with three new spots in the house, Brady was okayed to come over and "sex Thea up."
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
And if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
That was fast.
Well, we all know I boolpropped the pregnancy. What else is new?
Emma: BLAH BLAH BLAH AND GHOSTS AND STUFF! AND THEY MAKE THIS NOISE, LIKE---
Thea: AAAAIIIIEEEEEE!
Emma: EXACTLY! THANKS, MOM!
Despite me wishing desperately for a boy who I could call Heath (after Heath Ledger), I got another girl. I named her Heather, after Heather Locklear. To be honest, I've never watched or heard of a Heather Locklear movie that I can recall, but I know she's been on the big screen. Also, Heather is sort of named after Heath Ledger, because I love him. Heath starred in such movies as 10 Things I Hate About You and, more recently, The Dark Knight.
Also, cute Daniel is cute! :D
Here's some good mama spam!
Thea: YES, POOL TIME!
Emma: MOM, I'M UNDER THE -- *gurgles, thrashes*
On an unrelated note, I decided to change the wallpaper in the nursery because I was getting sick of that wimpy flowery pattern. This one's nicer, even if it doesn't necessarily match everything. :3
Oh, and I took a cue from Heather (
imxplosion ) and started doing portraits of all the kids :] And they're all really flattering, too! *gigglesnort*
And, since baby Heather was born, I had Thea get back out on the man hunt again. Waylon Menon, the guy in the picture, is kind of cute-ish so I'll probably save him for later. We shall see.
Oh yeah, totally inappropriate goodbye to a stranger is totally inappropriate.
Remington is also next on my list.
I'm watching him! (Click on the link, I implore you xD)
Thea: You know the drill, lady. Any breathing male will do.
After paying five thousand dollars, Thea got this guy: Shaun Barakat. He's cute, relatively attractive, and is a four bolter with Thea!
Despite the fact that they were on a blind date in the middle of a thunderstorm, things were off to a good start for Thea and Shaun!
Shaun: BOOBS! *giggles*
Yes; as I was saying, we're off to a good start.
Shaun's actually the first one who Thea's managed to get to dream date and fall in love with before the time ran out! And we know what those love hearts mean!
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
So cute! Squeebubbles! I'm considering him for husband material at the end of the challenge, because of their four bolts and also because Shaun is just teh_awesome. :D
After Thea was finished sexing with Shaun, it was time for Heather's birthday. Want to see what the spawn of Brady/Komei looks like?
Exactly like Brady/Komei. With no Thea whatsoever. Bahaha. She's pretty cute, though!
And now for some extra, leftover picspam to conclude the chapter!
It's times like these when I look at Daniel and Emma and realize how very twin-like they actually are, regardless of the fact that they're very different in terms of looks. Occasionally they look exactly the same.
And that's where I'll leave you for now! I'm going to get some sleep.
Later, gators!
